Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

10 at night

Le Xiao stepped into the General Affairs Department with an uneasy mood, and Wu Lei greeted her as soon as she entered.

"You really dare to do it. Now our General Affairs Section has received countless protests, and the congressmen have submitted documents for discussion."

Le Xiao swallowed, and Wu Lei wiped his neck. Le Xiao was stunned at first, but then slapped him.

"You came to scare me again, but I'm not scared anymore."

Wu Lei burst out laughing, and many nearby clerks couldn't help but smile.

"Would you like some freshly baked biscuits first, and then go up to Master Le Xiao?"

The head chef said kindly. Le Xiao only hesitated for a second and sat down at the food table. Many of the freshly baked biscuits were taken away.

"It must be Ms. Su Li's idea behind it."

Le Xiao hummed, and Wu Lei pressed his forehead. He knew very well what would happen next. The merchants in the city would never allow this to happen, because once they did, the bottom layer would actually be settled by the Su family. The Gus family and the Abron family have a monopoly.

The waste treatment plant in the Gully District is still under construction. This long-term construction will last about three years in the future. In addition, there are cinemas under construction and some new facilities, including the huge business that Districts 119 and 120 can bring. Value, these are things that businessmen cannot let go of.

The dissatisfaction of one or a few businessmen may be ignored, but the voices of hundreds or thousands of businessmen cannot be ignored by Congress. Some businessmen have begun to actually resist. Wu Lei just appeared in this news At that time, I received a report from a director of Section 7.

Some channel merchants have submitted complaints to Section 7. Some manufacturers have used various reasons to increase prices, cut off supply, and tear up agreements without any reason and refuse to deliver goods.

"A wave of large-scale protests by businessmen is coming. This time you have to withstand more pressure."

As soon as Le Xiao put a piece of hot biscuit into her mouth, she was completely stunned. Wu Lei turned on the light and shadow screen and called up a document, which was full of complaint documents on various issues. Section 7 had already dispatched People went to mediate.

"Why is it happening like that."

Le Xiao pressed her forehead. She was beginning to panic now. She also knew how powerful the businessmen would be if they united.

"You have to hold on, because if you can't handle the pressure, things are going to be the same as before."

Wu Lei said seriously, and Le Xiao hummed. After a while, Le Xiao went upstairs. Wu Lei told her that the section chiefs were all in the manager's private rest area. After watching Le Xiao enter the elevator, Wu Lei sighed.

In the past, businessmen united again and again, which eventually led to class separation in the city again and again. In the end, the entire city was completely solidified. The bottom class could only passively accept everything from a long time ago. Under the operation of capital, it will never be seen. No way out.

Everyone is brought into such a solidified atmosphere, no matter what they do, it is in vain, and the capital thrown out will eventually return to the hands of capital.

Why don't you try harder!

In Wu Lei's memory, this sentence was repeated countless times. When he was young, Wu Lei also thought so. Many people at the bottom did not work hard, but over the years, Wu Lei gradually understood that this sentence only But capital lies to cover up the bloody truth.

Therefore, no matter how hard the people at the bottom work, no matter what they do, no matter what plans they implement, they will be powerless in the end, and everything will fail because of the ruthlessness of capital.

When the coin is thrown, the final result has been determined. This has nothing to do with the positive aspect, but the coin thrown by capital itself is capital itself. Capital can create many things. If a city wants to achieve rapid development, it must Capital is needed to mobilize everything.

The cold machine of capital is never warm and tireless. The purpose of its existence is only to gather more capital. Therefore, no matter what kind of investment and construction the bottom class carries out, in the end all the value produced by these constructions will be generated by the people at the bottom level. Labor finally squeezes out the surplus value of many people, and these values ​​make capital even larger.

Exploitation over and over again, capital is shouting that people should work harder so that they won’t live a hard life when they get old, but at the same time it is shouting that everything we do is for this city.

In Wu Lei's view, this is a contradiction in itself. The capital accumulated at the bottom cannot stay at the bottom in the end, and the people at the bottom are constantly squeezed by capital over and over again, becoming increasingly poorer and more ruined. Capital will never stop. As long as there is a slight chance, it will run at full power.

Both the administrative department and the council members are actually very clear about the underlying problem, but with the clear goal of urban development, no one can do anything.

Wu Lei was a little happy today, but also nervous at the same time, because he knew very well that Le Xiao might become a public enemy of the whole city, at least the middle and upper classes.

The right to speak is in the hands of the middle and upper classes, and almost no one will pay attention to the voices of many people at the bottom.

Wu Lei asked his father this question a long time ago, and Wu Qun just smiled. This is the most efficient development plan that mankind has found so far, especially in such an apocalyptic world.

"Is there any work left to do!"

A familiar voice sounded, Wu Lei laughed, and Wu Qun sat next to him.

"Everything is really starting to loosen up."

Wu Lei said, Wu Qun patted Wu Lei on the shoulder.

"maybe!"

Wu Lei watched several other association members enter the elevator, and his father ran over quickly. Although he seemed to be smiling, his eyes were extremely serious.

At this time, Le Xiao was sitting on pins and needles looking at a large number of protest documents on the light and shadow screen. Next to him, King Xue was holding a wine glass, Ivy and Li Ang were also there, Locke was pressing his forehead, and Michelle was still working on a small table nearby. .

"Have you never thought about the consequences? I really admire you so much."

King Xue laughed, and Ivy said seriously.

"This matter is very serious. What you do is equivalent to directly giving the bottom layer to four families. Such an approach may already involve violating the law."

Le Xiao hummed and looked at Ivy for help. Li Ang sighed.

"I'm sorry for being late."

Wu Qun and six other people walked in, and Le Xiao felt that the atmosphere in the room became extremely heavy.

"The Film and Television Entertainment Association has submitted multiple letters of protest to impeach you from the cinema construction project."

There were a lot of questions in Le Xiao's mind.

"Why?"

Wu Qun laughed helplessly.

“How many movie theaters are being built now.”

Lexiao swallowed.

"Not one."

Le Xiao had rejected many construction plans before, because many of these plans were quietly digging holes. Regarding the construction plans for the cinema, Le Xiao asked Tian Ai and Hawke to help her look at them. The two would He clearly told Le Xiao the pros and cons, so Le Xiao rejected it.

"Little girl, you have become the target of public criticism."

Lin Xiao walked to the wine cabinet and took out the wine.

Li Ang moved the light and shadow screen in front of Le Xiao. Le Xiao became angry when she looked at the time. She had been complained and protested tens of thousands of times, and the number was still increasing.

Opening the long list of complaints, there is no ordinary person, most of them are operators, including some company executives. Everyone is complaining, and the reasons for the complaints are almost the same. They are destroying the city's economic structure, and the complaints are still Numerous examples are cited.

Le Xiao read some information, which showed that the streets in the middle class were depressed, and many people were crying about losing their jobs, because many companies with business at the bottom had transferred their business to the bottom and hired people at the bottom. Due to the economic recession, some people have been laid off.

"Especially since you have opened this hole now, it is absolutely impossible for many businessmen to watch themselves become fat pigs in the hands of the four major families."

Le Xiao swallowed, and Wang Ying opened a light and shadow screen with a clear economic curve chart. Once the four major families control the underlying economy, the capital in other cities will only be able to share some of it according to the four major families. , but this is impossible for most businessmen to accept.

"What you are doing is equivalent to turning the middle- and upper-class businessmen into money-making tools for the four major families. Although this kind of thing is not clearly stipulated in the law, in fact it is already wandering on the edge of the law. Ms. Sully is really smart.”

Pullman couldn't help but murmured, and Lexiao couldn't hold it in any longer.

"I'm doing this for the benefit of the lower class. What's the problem? How dare they blame me? Can't they have enough to eat or can't afford to wear clothes? It's true."

Michelle glanced at Le Xiao, and the atmosphere in the room became more relaxed after Le Xiao's words.

"Then I will leave this matter entirely to you, Secretary Le Xiao."

King Xue patted Le Xiao on the arm. Le Xiao looked at Wu Qun and said seriously.

"I will explain everything tomorrow. I will not compromise. I don't care what they do. If someone wants to cause trouble and cause chaos to the city, they will be arrested immediately."

Wu Qun nodded.

"The purpose of our coming here tonight is not to accuse you, but just to take a look."

Wu Qun said as he drank from his wine glass, put it down and turned around. The other congressmen did the same. Le Xiao was completely confused and didn't know what they were here for.

"Come here, Secretary Le Xiao."

"I know, auntie"

Le Xiao replied habitually, and immediately realized that something was wrong. As expected, Ivy frowned slightly, Locke laughed helplessly, and Li Ang stood up and sat next to Ivy.

"Tomorrow you need to have a very clear understanding in some places. Explaining means fighting back. If you can't overpower them in talking, there is no way."

Le Xiao hummed and sat between the two of them. Ivy brought up a chart of the recent business conditions of 9 subjects, while Li Ang showed some actual tax situations, including economic variables. Le Xiao swallowed Take a bite.

King Xue came to Locke with a wine bottle and poured him a glass.

"Do you need me to do something?"

Locke glanced at King Xue, thought for a moment and then shook his head.

"It's useless to do anything now because things have gotten to this point."

King Xue glanced at the documents on Locke's desk and sat helplessly aside. After Locke finished processing, he turned off the light and shadow screen. Although Le Xiao stared at Ivy and Li Ang seriously, her brows were furrowed.

At this time, Tianai and Hawke walked in at the door of the room.

"You really have the potential to commit suicide."

Tian Ai said as soon as he came in. Hawke nodded. Locke looked at Hawke, stood up and shouted.

"Mr. Hawke, you are here."

"Call me ma'am!"

King Xue smiled helplessly, and Hawke gave him a wink. King Xue pressed his glasses. After the two sat down, they talked about the construction problem of the cinema. This problem has become very serious now. The businessmen firmly disagreed. Build a cinema without any supporting facilities.

The two of them had just attended an investment meeting in the film and television area. As consultants for Section 13, they were asked a lot of questions at the meeting. Hawke was experienced and experienced, and Tian Ai was calm in times of crisis, but it was still very difficult. I don’t know how to handle such a difficult meeting. How many more times will it be done?

The businessmen have only one request, which is to build corresponding commercial supporting facilities near the cinema.

Le Xiao was now one and two heads tall, when a phone call came over.

"Do you have time? There are some documents that I need to sign. What are you doing? I'm dying here."

Leng Rui's voice came, and Le Xiao immediately spoke.

"It's up to you."

Le Xiao hung up the phone directly, and Tian Ai laughed.

"Looks like you won't have to sleep tonight."

A lot of things are completely on Le Xiao, and other secretaries have no time to take care of them. Secretaries are needed all over the city, and the section chiefs are even more worried during this period. The problem of the rioters, and the upcoming battle with Tianji Space country's first meeting.

"What should I do?"

Le Xiao looked at the phone and saw that the document was sent over again. It was a document related to the mechanical ball, including the list of applicants for the underlying market targeting people in the barrier area.

At this time Michelle stood up.

"I'm done here. Secretary Le Xiao sent me these documents."

Le Xiao seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. After Michelle got these documents, she immediately summoned 30 secretaries from the General Affairs Department.

"Thank you, Mistress Michelle."

Le Xiao watched Michelle walk to the door and said, Michelle turned her head and glanced at Le Xiao.

"This is your work secretary Le Xiao. Please inform us before doing anything in the future."

Le Xiao hummed, and Ivy patted her shoulder.

"These economic issues are actually not as complicated as you think. What is complicated is just the distance between buying and selling. What you need to understand are several changes that are currently taking place in the city."

Locke was a little drunk. He held the wine glass and glanced at the lights outside the window. This city will undergo very drastic changes tomorrow. No one can control such changes, because Le Xiao has once again opened a hole. In this solidified system.
