Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

December 31

Early in the morning, the streets seemed a little congested, and the flow of people was like a flood. This was the last day of the year, most companies had already closed, and citizens were shopping for holiday gifts.

Each district has its own New Year activities, and businesses are doing their best. Tonight is the New Year. This New Year is very special for many people, because in the past few years, the economy has been depressed, and even before. It also happened that the sun went out.

The emotions that have been congested for a whole year will be completely released after 12 o'clock tonight. Many people can leave everything behind, enjoy the carnival with family, friends and loved ones, and spend the eight-day holiday happily.

Many catering and entertainment industries are still recruiting people, and wages have increased significantly, once to 100 yuan a day, because these two industries are the most popular during the Chinese New Year and require a large number of manpower.

Some young people also gave up their plans to celebrate the New Year and went directly to these industries.

Hawke yawned, and Tian Ai was arranging everything in the tavern. The two of them would be busy starting from 12 o'clock tonight. They planned to prepare the ingredients that will be used in the next week today, and they all have some shelf life comparisons. Long, easy-to-make ingredients that go well with the wine.

Just after 8 o'clock, Hawke went to the food exchange early this morning at around 5 o'clock, purchased three boxes of food and moved them back directly, while Tian Ai had just gotten up.

Seeing Tian Ai working hard, Hawke put his hands on his chin and smiled. Tian Ai has recently begun to study music-related things seriously. She goes to a training class every week to study. She has found what she should do in the future. As for the matter, Hawke also plans to fully support Tianai.

Today there is a very important meeting. After Tianai's arrangements are over, Hawke plans to go to the film and television area with Tianai. In the last singing competition in the area, Tianai won the first place. There is a brokerage company I fell in love with Tianai.

After several discussions, Tianai also directly recorded some audition songs and sent them over. It was not until a few days ago that I received a reply from the company, and the meeting was scheduled for today.

"What are you doing up so early?"

Tian Hen yawned and came down from upstairs. Tian Ai looked at him angrily.

"You should get up early."

Tian Hen walked over with a smile and started to help his sister. Tian Hen came back yesterday and he looks very energetic now. Hawke also heard from Jean that Tian Hen is doing a lot of things smoothly in Section 3 now. , Tianhen will be the director next year.

Hawke knew what happened at the beginning of this year, but he never mentioned it to Tianai. He only chatted with Tianhen for a few words. Tianhen did not have any regrets or confusion, but became more aware of what was ahead.

Looking at the daily bickering between the brother and sister, Hawke smiled happily, and Tianhen said at this time.

"If anyone bullies you, remember to call me."

Tian Ai immediately put on an expression of getting lost, and Hawke said.

"Don't worry, if Ai'ai really enters the entertainment industry, I will close the tavern and become Ai'ai's manager."

Tian Hen nodded, he was a little worried about Tian Ai, but as long as Hawke was there, there shouldn't be any problem.

Tian Hen was still very curious about everything about this human-monster's past, but recently he learned some things about Hawke's past from Li Chu, which surprised Tian Hen.

"Hurry up. We have an appointment at 2 o'clock. What if we are late?"

Tian Hen immediately started moving quickly. It was around 10 o'clock in the morning when the brother and sister completed the decoration of the tavern. Hawke put on a plaid floral dress and looked enchanting. Tian Hen felt sick at the sight. Then he and Tian Ai went out, and Tian Hen took care of some subsequent matters in the tavern.

After the two left, Tianhen started to take out some ingredients and process them as Hawke said last night.

This is a rare rest day. Tianhen plans to devote himself wholeheartedly to the work of Section 3 next year. In the past few years, Tianhen plans to gradually realize everything he has discussed with the members of the team about Section 3, and to work with him. The things that were right and wrong in the countless arguments that Irving had.

"Although you can't see it anymore, I will definitely do it."

Tian Hen looked at the radish in his hand, picked it up and took a big bite. A spicy feeling immediately made him choke and cough.

At this time, accompanied by a burst of footsteps, Tianhen just raised his head and saw Jean coming down from the second floor.

"Don't you know how to take the main entrance?"

Gene threw away his uniform and hat, rolled up his sleeves and came over to help.

"Why don't you come here while Tian Ai is here?"

Jean smiled and shook his head, Tianhen looked at Jean seriously and said.

"When I officially start, I will ask you to take more care of my sister."

Gene nodded.

"It's not that I'm worried about that guy Hawke. Everyone has their moments of hardship, but as long as it's your words, I think Tian Ai will listen."

"Where's your partner?"

Tianhen smiled.

"I'm in Section 5. I'm probably being beaten by that crazy woman right now."

Gene smiled helplessly.

11 a.m.

Niya stared angrily at the members of the special task force lying on the ground one by one with bruises and swollen faces.

"Okay, today's training is over. Everyone, please stand up. I haven't used my full strength yet!"

Soon, more than 50 people from the special management team stood up and formed a line. Niya looked at them and then said sorry, and everyone clenched their fists and bowed.

There is also a member of Section 3, Xima, in the team. She took the initiative to come here for training. Now the special management team of Section 5 needs to receive practical guidance training from Niya once a week.

"Okay, go back and have a good rest. We have to patrol tonight."

Watching the people from the special management team leaving one after another, Niya stopped Hima.

"Where do you plan to spend the New Year?"

Hima replied with a pursed smile.

"Lady Nia, I will go to Mr. Hawke's bar."

Niya laughed heartily.

"If nothing happens tonight, I will come over and we can have a drink then."

Xima bowed slightly. Niya looked at this serious little girl. There was a sense of tenacity in her bones that was different from ordinary people. Niya liked it very much. When Jean brought her here a few months ago, Niya also knew about Tianhen. What happened to that kid.

In addition to having no choice but to stop here, Niya cannot go home to celebrate the New Year this year. She has to celebrate the New Year in the office. After all, the New Year is the time when the crowds are the largest, and it is also when some problems occur frequently.

Except for a small number of people in Section 5 who can take vacation, all others have to patrol the streets, and Niya also allows them to celebrate the New Year at some street food stalls, as long as it does not affect their work.

Niya took out a cigarette and slowly walked out of the training ground. At this time, a figure hurried over, it was Qin Dong.

"What's wrong, Qin Dong?"

"Lord Niya, can I take leave tonight?"

Niya looked at Qin Dong happily.

"What, is there something going on at home?"

Qin Dong seemed a little embarrassed. Niya nodded. In September, Niya directly promoted Qin Dong. He is now a director. After Qin Dong passes the exam next year, Niya plans to slowly promote him to secretary. Location.

Qin Dong, like Niya, has not taken a day off this year to practice, but Niya is still curious about why Qin Dong took time off.

"Actually, my mother is sick, and"

Niya hummed.

"Let's go back."

Qin Dong bowed hurriedly and said thank you before turning and leaving. He was not sure whether what his mother said was true or false, but it was probably false. Qin Dong was a little helpless. He had not been home for a long time, and his mother had not been home for a whole year. Urging marriage.

Qin Dong has thought twice about getting married. He doesn't really want to get married at this stage, and there is no suitable candidate.

After leaving the headquarters of Section 5, Qin Dong went directly to the subway station and returned to the door of his home in less than 10 minutes.

After entering the house, I saw my mother sitting on the sofa like a normal person, talking to Zhao Xi about something. The servants at home were preparing for today's dinner.

"mom!"

Qin Dong was a little helpless, and his mother stood up immediately. Zhao Xi also stood up with a smile and greeted Qin Dong.

Qin Dong knew that among so many girls, his mother had taken a fancy to Zhao Xi. This girl was actually quite good, but Qin Dong really couldn't get married now because he couldn't take into account his family's situation at all.

As always, there were many people at home, including aunt Qin Xiaoxuan. She seemed to have gained weight recently. Qin Dong was also a little embarrassed. His mother pushed Zhao Xi directly in front of her.

Qin Dong also relaxed after sitting down. He could only sneak back when the dinner was about to be held tonight, as some matters in the area were not finished yet.

"Congratulations, you have been promoted to director."

Zhao Xi said, and Qin Dong said thank you. She seemed to have something to ask, but she didn't know how to ask.

"By the way, your work seems to be very hard."

Qin Dong hummed.

"I get up at 6 o'clock every day, and I may not be able to go to bed until midnight at night."

The scene was a bit awkward. At this time, Qin Xiaoxuan came over with a glass of wine, pressed Qin Dong and leaned down.

"You brat, take her out for a walk. Really, if we can't talk about boyfriend and girlfriend, we can still be friends. Besides, what is your dissatisfaction with this girl?"

Qin Dong felt a little embarrassed, and Zhao Xi on the side was even more blushing. Finally, Qin Dong got up and invited Zhao Xi to go outside.

After the two left home, the atmosphere was a little better. People were everywhere on the street. Qin Dong passed by, and people from the 5th department kept approaching to salute. Qin Dong looked a little embarrassed, while Zhao Xi on the side was very happy, with a little look in his eyes. Looking at Qin Dong enviously.

"That's great. I also wanted to take the exam in business, but my parents didn't allow it."

Qin Dong smiled and nodded.

"I was influenced by my aunt at first, but then I decided to enter the profession of law on my own."

Qin Dong then talked about some things in the business department, and Zhao Xi was also very happy to hear it, especially his boss. After all, Niya was too violent in the eyes of the outside world.

"I didn't expect the rumored Lady Niya to be like this."

Qin Dong hummed.

"Ms. Niya is just a bit fierce on the surface, but she is actually a very good boss."

After the two of them wandered around like this for half an hour, they returned home. The afternoon banquet had already begun. Qin Dong pulled his aunt over with relief.

"What do you mean?"

"Really, you are not a child anymore."

Qin Xiaoxuan muttered, took a large skewer of barbecue and started to eat it roughly, not elegant at all.

"I said, aunt, you have gained weight recently."

"Whatever! My goal is 100 kilograms, hahaha."

Qin Dong laughed helplessly. Apart from his family, the one he had the longest contact with was his aunt. If he had free time at night, he would have a drink with her.

"You solve your own marriage problems first and then talk to me, Auntie, is there anyone suitable?"

Qin Xiaoxuan laughed and shook her head.

"I will never get married in this life. After all, my heart has been buried long ago."

"Really, you said that again."

Qin Dong hugged Qin Xiaoxuan. He was a little worried about this aunt. She still lived alone. Her retirement salary was enough for her to live a good life. She would also teach in a business college.

"By the way, Xiaodong, I think that girl is quite suitable for you. Even if you are busy with work in the future and can't take care of your family, I think she will stand behind you. It would be nice if you let such a girl go. pity."

Qin Dong looked at Zhao Xi who was chatting and laughing with some young men and women not far away. It was true that she was a gentle, quiet and beautiful girl, but Qin Dong still shook his head.

"Sorry, Auntie, I'm really not suitable for marriage, at least for now. I have to respond to Lady Niya's expectations of me. I can't even spare half an hour to have a meal with a girl."

Qin Xiaoxuan glanced at Qin Dong.

"Am I not considered a girl?"

Qin Dong shook his head.

"Auntie, you should know the current situation better than me. The problems in subjects 4, 6 and 7 have always made the entire business department a little tired."

Qin Xiaoxuan's expression became serious.

"Are you planning to take action against Section 7?"

Qin Dong hummed.

"The next few years will be very busy. Lady Niya will go to bed very late every night and wake up very early the next day."

Qin Xiaoxuan nodded. It's not that she couldn't understand what her nephew was thinking now. He was working so hard, managing everything in the city, and constantly fighting for everything he wanted to achieve in his heart. Although the future was unknown, in Qin Xiaoxuan's view, Maybe one day in the future, they will fail.

If it fails, such an effort will become tragic.

"I'll give you a piece of advice, Xiaodong, no matter what time, don't use too much force."

Qin Dong hummed.

"Lady Nia said the same thing."

Qin Xiaoxuan sighed.

"That girl is now on her own. The year before last, everyone was still questioning whether she was qualified to be the section chief of Section 5. But now the attitude of the whole city has changed. Even King Xue looks at Niya with admiration."

Qin Xiaoxuan said and pushed Qin Dong.

"Go and end all this. Don't let the other party have any expectations. Be decisive. But first, you have to explain it to my sister. At least convince her today."

Qin Dong hummed, looked at his aunt, and hugged her gratefully.

"Aunt, thank you."

Qin Xiaoxuan sighed, and Qin Dong whispered.

"It's time to lose weight, Auntie, you have fat on your waist!"
