Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

"I can't do it anymore!"

"Say something like that again?"

Li Ang smiled helplessly, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and looked at Ye Jiao, who had a stubborn look on his side. The two of them were near the warehouse behind the headquarters of Section 7. They were assigned to the seized items management room. They would need to work in the future. The main thing is to count and sort out the illegally seized items. There are a lot of valuable goods and items, including a lot of money.

The work here is no easier than other departments, because most of the things seized are related to crimes. People from Section 6 and Section 8 often come here to conduct various verifications. Section 6 needs to collect materials seized in economic crimes. It becomes a detailed and accurate record, and Section 8 requires prosecution evidence from the Law Hall.

This job is sometimes leisurely and sometimes busy. It was already past 2 o'clock after the two of them had eaten. They were responsible for Warehouse No. 19. The other members of the team had already found a place to rest in the warehouse. Because people from Section 8 will come over at 3:00 p.m., and they will have to be busy again.

On the 10th of last month, the three of them were kicked out of the team by the captain because their work review rating was only D, and they were transferred here.

Basically, being assigned to the property management department is the end of your career. Most of the people working here are middle-aged people and staff who are about to retire.

Young section officers are assigned here, and those who basically have no future will be assigned here directly. In addition to handing over to people from various departments who come to verify the seized items, they also need to go to the area where some cases occurred. Carry out the recovery and transportation of seized items.

In the past, the seizures of Section 7, except for immovable real estate, would be seized at the local section management office. However, there were many corruption problems, and in the end, the area no longer had the right to store seized property. Everything will go directly to the newly built storage room at Section 7 headquarters.

There are a large number of dazzling things inside, and there are warehouses of different categories. Only after the trial of the case is completed, these seized things will be processed. Everything inside has a market value and will be taken away directly at that time. Go out to auction.

There are many belongings of people who have overdue loans from Section 7, including personal and company belongings, as well as a lot of supplies. In principle, the items inside are absolutely not allowed to be used until the case or loan issue is resolved. .

However, there are exceptions. During the recent market strike, all usable materials that were determined to be impossible to return to the original owners were evacuated. Niya personally brought people to move them away.

"Jiaojiao, don't keep saying such things. This place is actually pretty good."

"What's good?"

Ye Jiao said looking a little uncomfortable.

"Okay, okay, when we go shopping in the evening to relax, I'll buy you a drink!"

Li Ang said comfortingly that he knew why Ye Jiao didn't like it here, because almost all the staff here were talking about money, socializing with businessmen, and other things.

This is a unique means of survival in the 7th family, because money flows through the 7th family. You only need to stretch out your hand or bend down to grab a lot of money and pick up tons of gold.

The simplest way is to provide loans to businessmen and then get the rewards they deserve. The nature of 7 departments is a bit special in business. It is no different from banks in the past, because various loan lines are extended every year. They came out to help some businessmen survive the crisis, but Li Ang probably knew that 90% of the loans were not for businessmen to survive the crisis, but to allow them to make quick money at compound interest.

The interest rate of 7 Branch loans is very low. Although this loan system, which is good for businessmen, is to promote the city's economy, the disadvantage is that people who are really short of money cannot get a loan, but those who are not short of money can easily get it. Get a loan.

There are even some interest-free systems and parts that do not need to be repaid. These are areas where you can make a fuss. You only need to use your brain to get a large amount of feedback money.

Previously, these things were temporarily suspended due to large-scale criminal investigations, but as the investigation ended, these things immediately sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

The Economic Examination Department is the most important department among the seven departments. Li Ang and the others have been in it before. They are responsible for reviewing not only taxes, but also loans. As long as the power is in hand, money will be delivered to the door.

In just one month in this department, they had received more than 200 invitations from businessmen, but Li Ang rejected them all because Ye Jiao would not go. If they wanted to ensure a bright career, they had to go along with the system. They refused. If they cannot be complicit, then there will be no place for them in the natural system.

It is still almost the same plan as in the past. Li Ang felt that this was unreasonable in the past because there were too many loopholes to take advantage of, and taxation and loans were the hardest hit areas.

Money is flowing crazily in invisible places. Even in order to support businessmen's loans, people from the loan department of Section 7 will join forces with people from the review department to turn the merchants' originally low-quality assets into high-quality assets as collateral. , in the end, the businessman Jin Chan escaped from his shell, leaving only low-quality assets that were worthless, and then 7 Kes dealt with them hastily.

Many of the chaos in the city started from Section 7. To be precise, it started with money. People from the field department of Section 7 would join forces with some companies to extract high commissions and recommend some financial products to the public.

Although there will be risk contracts when recommending to the public, many shady Li Ang knows very well that this structure is no different from the banks in the past. It just changed the skin and is not a wallet management department at all.

People's money is used by 7ke to make various investments, allowing businessmen to make money one after another. If the situation is good, the people have to thank 7ke for its recommendation and the businessmen who buy financial products. If the situation is not good, If so, there is something wrong with the public’s investment vision.

Whether it is good or bad is decided by 7 subjects. Li Ang hates this system very much, it is no different from the capital of urban businessmen.

Li Ang was already familiar with the tricks when he was doing business in the past, because he had done similar things, but now Li Ang's heart is hot.

"If you don't want to watch everything happen, take it in your hands and change the outcome!"

Li Ang still clearly remembered what Hydera said to him when he was in prison. Now that Hydera is dead, he still couldn't change his outcome because the outcome was determined from the beginning.

"This approach is too inefficient."

The abrupt Ye Jiao muttered, and Li Ang patted the back of Ye Jiao's thigh. Ye Jiao was dissatisfied and kicked Li Ang, who was sitting against the wall.

"Don't say these words in front of others, especially in front of the captain, you know, Jiaojiao!"

"Why are you two here?"

Jewell yawned and walked out of the warehouse. He walked over with a cigarette in his mouth and handed one to Li Ang. He approached Ye Jiao with a smile on his face.

"Please keep 1 meter away from me!"

Jewell raised his hands helplessly.

The three of them looked at the crowded headquarters building in the distance and enjoyed a moment of peaceful rest.

At this time, in the distance, a lift was coming towards this direction quickly. The pattern was that of Section 6.

Soon the clerks in several warehouses ran out one after another, and the captain of their team also shouted for everyone to pass. Soon, 600 people from 20 teams managing 20 warehouses were all standing at the takeoff and landing ground. In front of the machine, it looked like someone at least the level of a section chief or secretary was coming.

"I came here today for nothing else, because I need to check the situation of seized materials in the past five years. I hope you can cooperate with me. Many values ​​​​have been deviated."

"It's Leona!"

Jewell looked at it in surprise, and Li Ang smiled helplessly.

There were 6 directors who came with Leona, all of whom looked young. Soon the 6 directors began to assign tasks to the team leaders.

"The guy who least wants to climb up, yet he simply climbs to such a high position."

Leona, who was standing behind the directors, looked at the huge warehouse in front of her tiredly. She really didn't want to deal with such a troublesome matter at first, but the section chief asked her to come and handle it in person, because the items that had been reviewed from the seized items in the past few days were The data is seriously inconsistent with the past data when it was entered into the database in the past.

Either it was concealed or misappropriated, or there was a big problem with the record handover. The data from Section 6 must be accurate and detailed in order to provide true and reliable data to Section 2, so that Section 2 can conduct various analyzes and investigations on these data.

Looking at the huge warehouse that was almost as high as the headquarters building, Leona felt dizzy. Soon five directors from Section 7 came over with a lot of helpers, and Leona started talking with them.

"Anyway, let's go in and take a look."

Leona said, accompanied by a bunch of directors, she walked into Warehouse No. 19. The section members inside were already busy, and people from the other six sections also followed. Leona looked at the densely packed warehouse. Seizing the items, she felt dizzy. She hadn't rested for a long time.

Leona was listening to the report of the director of Section 7 next to her and looking at the records of Section 7 on the light and shadow screen. At this time, she caught a glimpse of an acquaintance not far away at the door of a detention room.

“Isn’t that Niya’s best friend!”

Leona looked at Jewell with some surprise, but she also recognized the other person. It was Li Ang. He was still the same as when he was in elementary school, without much change. Leona was quite impressed by him, because He is Li Xin's younger brother. Many people in the school think that he will have a bright future, and he is also the best among Niya's group in studies.

"That's basically it, you two come over here."

Leona stopped Jewell and Leon, and then after a few words with the directors, she led them to the aisle of a storage room.

"Is there anything we need to do, Lady Leona?"

As Li Ang said this, he was about to bow and salute when he was pulled back by the smiling Jewel next to him.

"Yo, you've become so beautiful!"

Jewell said with a smile and raised his arms to lean over, but Leona immediately stretched out a hand.

"Don't get close to me, you scumbag. I always thought you would marry Xiaohui."

Jewell's expression was a little stiff and he scratched his head, and Leona grabbed his collar.

"You bastard!"

Snapped

Jewell covered his mouth with a smile, and Leona raised her hands and said.

"I promised Xiao Hui that if I see this scumbag like you, I will give you a slap in the face."

Li Ang stood aside a little embarrassed and didn't know what to do.

"You are really stupid. Why didn't you talk to Li Xin properly when he was still at the top of the executive department?"

Leona looked at Li Ang helplessly, and Li Ang replied with a smile.

"I don't have the same philosophy as him, and if he helps me and gets me under someone's command, I can only act according to the current system and can't embarrass him. Besides, he is not my real brother."

Leona said oh and looked at Li Ang in surprise.

"Now that you've become famous, how about you help us who are unlucky?"

Leona was so angry that she grabbed Jewell by the collar and lifted him up.

"You bastard, I've helped you before, you ungrateful idiot."

Li Ang was a little confused, but Leona immediately started talking. Back then, Jewell owed a lot of debt, and it was gambling debts. Later, he met Leona by chance. Leona used her extremely powerful data calculation ability to help Jewell. I cleared her gambling debt and helped her win more than 5 million.

But the matter was exposed after all, because Jewel was a big talker and talked about how to win money when meeting everyone. As a result, Leona got into trouble and was finally arrested by Section 5 because there was a provision in the city law. People who study statistical computing here in Leona are not allowed to participate in gambling.

Because there has been such an incident in the past, a statistical computing team killed everyone in the casino, and even triggered a series of criminal cases. In the end, Leona was sentenced to 8 months, but she was not jailed. She was directly absorbed into the 6th Department. She entered the Practice Department in a daze and was recommended there.

Until she became the secretary of Section 6, Leona still felt that something was wrong, because since she became the secretary of Section 6, she has been doing almost all the work of Section 6. From becoming the secretary to now, Leona is counting her fingers. I can even count how many days I have rested.

"It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been arrested, I wouldn't have entered the administrative department, I wouldn't have become a secretary, I wouldn't have even taken five days off a year, you bastard!"

Jewell was almost suffocated. Leon looked awkwardly at the several directors watching outside before Leona put Jewell down.

"Then it's unreasonable for you not to treat me to a nice meal, right?"

Jewel said and naturally put his hands on Leona's shoulders, but in the next second, Jewel had been thrown directly to the ground by Leona.

"I surrender!"

Jewell raised his hands, and Li Ang couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, let's have a meal together after work today. Think of it as a reunion of old classmates. I will call Niya, and you will come with Li Ang."

Li Ang hummed.

"Can I bring someone with me?"

Leona looked at him suspiciously.

"Just don't bring that kind of unattractive person."

In the past, because the girls in the class had a better relationship with Jewell, Leona and Jewell had more contact.

After Leona straightened her clothes, she turned around and ran out quickly.

"Can you pretend you didn't see it?"

Several council officers smiled awkwardly.

A whole afternoon of busy work didn't end until 7 o'clock in the evening.

Leona took out her phone as soon as she finished work, looking very happy, and the place for their party was decided, which was at the nearby ladyboy bar opened by Hawke.

"I'm not going!"

Ye Jiao looked at Li Ang with some doubts, and Li Ang pulled her away.

"Listen to my Jiaojiao."

Jewell yawned and stretched his muscles. In the past, you only had to take the subway to get there in 5 minutes. After a while, the four of them walked into the subway station, causing quite a commotion.

7:19 p.m.

Niya yawned and lay on the table, while Hawke and Tianai were preparing aside. Hawke had already given the reservation notice tonight, and up to this point there was no one in the bar.

crunch

The door of the bar was pushed open, and a burst of incense immediately came in. Niya raised her head and looked at Ivy, who was wearing a purple waist skirt. She looked as beautiful and elegant as ever. She was holding a small black bag with a reserved look on her face. She was ruddy and seemed to have walked over quickly. As soon as Ivy came in, she looked around, and Tian Ai beside Hawke immediately said with a wink.

"Jean isn't here, so there's no need to look."

Only then did Ivy come back to her senses.

"Niya, good evening."

Nia raised her hands.

"What does that guy Leona want to do?"

At this time, another person walked into the store, still wearing a uniform. Michelle and Ivy exchanged slight glances as they entered.

"Why are you so slow Michelle?"

"Please abide by certain rules and take the subway instead of jumping directly from high-rise buildings, which is very likely to damage the building."

Michelle was a little surprised. Originally she was going home tonight, but Niya stopped her and asked her to have dinner with her. This shocked Michelle. After working together for two months, Niya never invited her. He went to have dinner with Michelle, and Michelle never invited Niya.

There was a sound of talking and laughing outside. Leona walked in first, followed closely by Leon and Jewell. Ye Jiao walked in last. She looked at the people in the room with some surprise.

"You two bastards, I'm going to get you drunk tonight!"

Niya smiled and hugged the two of them roughly, one by one, laughing, and Hawke sighed helplessly.

"I said Niya, you are a girl after all."

"Hoktian loves to bring wine."

Ivy smiled and gestured.

"You are Li Ang!"

Li Ang smiled and nodded.

"I didn't expect you would still remember me, Miss Ivy."

The atmosphere became cheerful, and Michelle was a little surprised. Besides Michelle, Ye Jiao was also the same, finding it difficult to integrate into their atmosphere.

At this time Niya took out the phone and pressed the number 0013.

"You bastard, where are you? Come here and have a drink. If you come here, come here. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

After Niya hung up the phone, she gave an OK gesture to Ivy opposite her. Ivy's cheeks turned red for a moment, and she smiled and nodded, as if to say thank you.

The door of the tavern was violently pushed open.

"I have completed the mission, Niya-sama, please"

A petite and angry-looking beautiful girl stood at the door, wearing the uniform of a Section 5 intern.

Zi Yuer panted and looked at the people sitting inside, a little surprised.

"Come here to eat first, but you can really catch me here."

Niya looked at Zi Yuer slowly with a smile. She had been tortured so much by Niya these days. Michelle also advised Niya that there was no need to be so messy, because the internship content that Niya gave Zi Yuer, These are things that normal people would never do, but Niya can always find a reason.

The door of the tavern was pushed open again, and a smiling little girl ran in.

"Senior, why are you here?"

Zi Yuer looked at Chloe next to her angrily and pulled her over.

"Why did you finish eating so quickly?"

Ivy looked at Chloe strangely, and she said with a smile.

"Auntie, I will stay quietly. Just give me some food for the kids."

7:49 pm

"It's not okay if we don't go. We might as well go together."

Gene hung up the phone helplessly, and just now Niya urged her again.

Huashen looked a little helpless, while Gu Ningning beside him was still talking.

"Really, I went to a gathering of young people."

"Aren't you also a young man? In my eyes."

Hua Shen smiled bitterly. Gene brought Larry to the medical school today to get some autopsy reports. The examination work of these cases that had been silent in the past had been sent to the medical school by Department 4. Firstly, it was for the purpose of Medical students start learning all aspects of testing work as early as possible, secondly to reduce the burden on the four subjects.

"Lord Jean, how old are you?"

Gu Ningning asked curiously, and Gene scratched his head.

"Ning Ning, you will know when you become a secretary or section chief one day."

Gu Ningning blinked.

"It's impossible. Where am I from?"

Huashen was still hesitating, so Gene patted him on the shoulder, turned back to Larry and said.

"Let's go together."

Larry smiled and followed.

8pm sharp

Tianhen stood helplessly at the door of Hawke's bar, and bursts of laughter came from inside.

"That crazy woman, at least pay attention to her image."

Xima and Owen on the side followed Tianhen with some confusion. The three of them had just gotten off yesterday, so Tianhen invited the two of them to come together. They just received a call from Niya tonight.

"There are so many people!"

Tianhen muttered as soon as he stepped into the bar. Xima on the side looked at the people sitting inside with some surprise and felt a very strong breath.

"It's too late!"

Jean was sitting near the door, with Tian Ai on the left and Ivy on the right. Tian Hen walked over and Jean slapped him on the waist.

"What are you doing, bastard!"

Jean glanced at the two people behind Tianhen, smiled and stood up to make a gesture of invitation.

"I'd better go Mr. Jean, I"

At a table next to her, Yincai looked nervously at the people around her, and Gene smiled helplessly.

"As I said just now, it's just a meal. We just met, didn't we?"

It was a rare occasion for Jean to take the subway, because it was a bit unusual to bring Gu Ningning and Larry from above the city, and it was even more impossible for Hua Shen to come here with Gu Ningning on his back.

The door of the room was pushed open again, and Qin Dong ran in panting.

"I'm late, Lady Niya."

"You're here at the right time, come and have a drink!"

Niya shouted, and the room fell into silence for a while. Hawke looked at the young people in front of him in surprise, feeling a little strange, because they all looked unique.

Gene said with a smile.

"I'm sorry. Let's have a nice dinner and a drink tonight. I'll treat you! But you have to work hard tomorrow."

Hawke shouted immediately.

"Ai Ai, hurry up and bring out the best wine and dishes in our store."

Gene glanced at Hawke, and he burst out laughing. For a moment, the whole bar was filled with laughter. Michelle smiled helplessly, looking at the wine in front of her that she had not yet drank, and she took a slight taste. , Ye Jiao on the side raised her wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
