Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

The rumbling sound of machinery was heard, and Tommy quietly looked at the giant machinery passing over the city. These machinery flew day and night, firstly to stabilize the city's temperature, and secondly, to serve as lighting and defense during the day. City.

These giant city management aircraft are produced in the national arsenal and are top secrets of the United States. It is precisely because of the emergence of these machines that can directly change the ecology that the people of the United States can come out of the ground.

To return to life on the ground, more than 100 years ago, people in the United States could only live in hiding in some underground facilities. It was not until the success of the national weapons depot project that a large number of robots were manufactured and began to help mankind rebuild everything on the ground.

It took humans less than 20 years to successfully gain a foothold on the ground with the help of a large amount of technology. Tommy was smoking a cigarette and standing on the balcony looking at the large machinery in the distance. It was already night, except for the darkness. Outside the outline of the mobile phone, there is almost no trace.

It was already past 2 o'clock in the morning, and the banquet had just ended. Selena came out of the bathroom. She took a pair of gauze pajamas and walked over gently.

"What's wrong Tommy can't sleep?"

Tommy smiled and exhaled the smoke, and then sat down. Selina sat next to Tommy charmingly.

"I just woke up drunk and couldn't sleep."

"Then I'll sit with you for a while."

Selina leaned against Tommy quietly. She knew that the time the two of them would get together would be very little in the future. Tommy had to deal with a lot of national affairs every day, and Selina also had to fulfill her obligations as the president's wife. She had to Gotta get something done.

Some work has been assigned to Selina, and Tommy has arranged three assistants for her to help Selina complete the work. She has never thought that such a glamorous thing has anything to do with her before, and she even fantasizes about it. , these tasks may be easy, you just need to pretend.

However, Selena now truly feels that this is not as easy a job as she imagined in the past. She is exhausted every day, but she still works hard and is very motivated every day.

"If I don't do it right in the future, I'll embarrass you, Tommy."

Tommy hugged Selena and smiled softly.

"It's okay. No one can do well at the beginning. You are progressing really fast. Just work hard every day."

Selina leaned into Tommy's arms, and the two enjoyed the quiet time on the balcony. This kind of time probably only existed in the dead of night.

"What happened tonight?"

Selina asked and Tommy pressed her hand.

"Halls wanted to kill himself."

Selina's expression suddenly changed, and Tommy laughed.

"It's okay. He doesn't have the courage. If he really had the courage, he should do it in front of me, in the president's office. That way, it would add pressure to other factions, but in the end he hesitated."

Selena's heart was beating violently. She didn't expect that something like that had just happened. Tommy continued to talk about the situation at that time. Selena's eyes were full of uneasiness. Tommy pressed Selina's back and pressed gently. With.

"It's okay, relax. Halls won't have any problems. Everything will be business as usual tomorrow. Now it's even less likely for him to commit suicide. If he dies at home, it won't be of any help to other factions, but will only increase the number of people. A stain on his life.”

Selina hummed and wiped her tears.

"I'm worried about you. In this kind of power struggle, it seems that many people will not live well in the end."

Tommy laughed, picked up the cigarette on the table, lit it and smiled stubbornly.

"Because many people don't quite understand the meaning of the rights struggle."

Selina looked at Tommy and he smiled.

"The reason why many people want to obtain rights is because behind rights is often huge amounts of money. This money can be easily obtained through rights, and they can live a good life that everyone envies."

Selina hummed and said.

"I used to really envy those rich people and you MPs. I even imagined that one day I would participate in the election. Maybe with my beauty, I could become a MP."

Tommy laughed, and Selina patted Tommy, her face blushing shyly.

"But I soon discovered that I was wrong. In fact, I tried it, but after everyone heard what I said, they were stunned at first and then laughed."

Tommy hummed.

"Once you take money, you have to pay for it. You have to make a way for money, and make arrangements for the people who give you money, everything they need, and ignore everything else, so that you can be as good as ever. Sit in this position."

Of course Selina knew what Tommy was talking about, she wondered.

"Then what is the meaning of the struggle for rights you just mentioned?"

Tommy smiled confidently.

"To realize your ideals and ambitions."

Tommy said as Selina laughed.

"Why do we have to stand in front of money instead of ordering money to create a better life for us humans? That's all I have to do now."

Selena frowned slightly.

"It's very risky Tommy, but you can totally do it"

"I'm sorry, Selena, as long as I do the right thing, the people will support me as always."

After Tommy finished speaking, he picked up Selena and entered the house, and the two lay on the bed.

"Go to bed early, Tommy, or wait."

Tommy smiled and hugged Selina, and Selina hummed.

At 9 o'clock in the morning the next day, Tommy sat in the president's office. The office was crowded with people from the cabinet, preparing to report on various issues. Selina had already gone to the local elderly association, and she would announce some national measures for the elderly. some new benefits.

Tommy put his hands on his chin and listened to the reports of these young people. The youngest among them was 29 years old, and the oldest was only 43 years old. They were all organized by Tommy.

Everything went very smoothly as Tommy thought. It was right to appoint these young and motivated people. Tommy had already told them a lot about the problems and shortcomings of this country. What they need to do now is to change everything.

"Mr. President, currently the Agricultural Association has reduced the production of grains too much. Because grain substitutes are rampant in the current market, many farmers have begun to reduce plantings, so the production has naturally dropped a lot."

Tommy asked, interrupting the cabinet member.

“How much does it cost to produce this grain-replacement item?”

"Mr. President, it's about one-tenth of the grain."

Tommy said as he stood up with a smile.

"Directly sign an order ordering factories that produce cereal substitutes to start reducing production. Substitutes cannot account for 10% of the cereal market."

For a while, many congressmen in the office looked solemn. Currently, this cereal substitute accounts for more than 70% of the market. Many businessmen are abandoning the use of original cereals and starting to use this substitute.

This substitute is a product of biological science, but Tommy knows very well that so many patients on the market are inseparable from this substitute. He once saw a lawsuit in the state of CA, which was finally settled out of court. of.

Tommy also heard from lawyers that more than a dozen employees working in the cereal substitute factory did suffer from irreversible illnesses due to chemical contamination. But in the end, the cereal substitute company collectively spoke out, claiming that this substitution The product is completely harmless to the human body, and a lot of evidence has been provided.

The lawsuit lasted for more than a year, and in the end both the prosecution and the defendant reached a settlement. Of course Tommy knew what was going on. People kept withdrawing from this class action lawsuit, and the last person who planned to sue died suddenly at home. .

In the end, the matter was settled, and the lawyer who litigated the case for them at the time told Tommy that there must be problems with these substitutes, but because of the high output and high profits, the businessmen did not disclose the harm at all, but hid the harm. .

"What's wrong? Are everyone looking so embarrassed?"

Tommy asked, many people looked serious, the councilor who had just reported said.

"This could lead to massive market volatility."

"Fluctuations are inevitable. Just like what I told you at the beginning, if we do nothing, this country will still be the same as before. We have to start with food security."

The congressmen nodded, and then Tommy quickly drafted an order with the congressmen. Tommy signed it directly, and the order on behalf of the president would take effect immediately.

"If they want to make excuses, let them randomly choose food adulterated with grain substitutes from the current market and feed it to those high-level human cloning test subjects, and the experimental process must be broadcast live in a fair and open manner. If it is completely harmless , this order will become invalid immediately."

There was a sort of nod from the cabinet members, and then Tommy smiled and sat down and lit a cigarette.

"Next item."

The morning meeting lasted until past 12 o'clock. Tommy started to eat lunch and continued the discussion with some cabinet people. There were many things today and there were too many things that needed to be dealt with.

"On medical issues, I hope everyone can withstand all pressure as much as possible."

As soon as Tommy finished speaking, all the cabinet members in the cafeteria felt something strange, one councilor said.

"Mr. President, is it too early?"

Tommy remembered that when he and Gene went to the drugstore that day, some patients went to buy cancer drugs. Although many drugs had gone through clinical trials and had very obvious effects, these obvious effects were only in clinical trials.

Of course, Tommy knew what kind of trick was going on here. This was a common method used by pharmaceutical companies. He looked at the panicked people and said.

"I just mentioned a few things first. We have to hold a formal meeting with the medical association in a few days. Medical care, food and education are the three areas we must solve now."

Everyone nodded, and after a meal, Tommy led everyone back to the office and continued the meeting.

Secretaries kept interrupting, reporting on the situation from outside. Today's situation is not good. The stock market is starting to have problems. Because Tommy became president, the speculators did not make their bets.

Some of the goods they produced in advance to welcome the new president can no longer be sold, some can only be destroyed, and some can only be remade, resulting in a very serious overcapacity situation for these businessmen.

Even many of their future product promotion plans and marketing strategies will revolve around the party they support. Before the election, Tommy's approval rating was only less than 30, but the results of the election surprised many people.

No one expected that everything would collapse during the three-day general election, Tommy said with a smile.

"Issuing a solemn warning letter directly to warn the public not to think about taking over deals at low prices. The market will be volatile in the future. Let the public remain rational and not invest in some financial products that look very attractive at this time."

One council member raised his hand and said.

"Your Excellency, this doesn't sound good, does it?"

Tommy laughed.

"Is there something wrong with giving a kind reminder to the people? It just touches the interests of some businessmen who want to find someone to take over. Do you think it's inappropriate? I have said it countless times, please reverse your Thinking, we are here to solve problems, not to play house with businessmen. If any of you want to play house with businessmen, then please leave here."

Applause broke out. These young congressmen never thought that Tommy would make such a strong decision. This was unimaginable to them, because every action of Tommy has actually touched the businessmen. Interests.

"Next is the most important thing. This process may be long. You need to carefully investigate the demand and supply in slums across the country. These things must be as clear as possible. We now want to solve the problem of slums. , it cannot be accomplished overnight.”

Tommy has already promised the bosses, and the bosses are also very willing to cooperate with Tommy. What they need to do is to help Tommy eliminate the slums, and they can also take the opportunity to profit from it and launder their innocence, which is a lot for them. For people, this is the best thing.

Tommy promised to reserve a little gray part for them, but this part cannot exceed 5% of the overall economy of the slum. It must be within this range. The bosses all agreed.

Many people are still worried about cooperating with the bosses, but Tommy has already thought clearly. Compared to the businessmen, these bosses of all sizes in the slums are weaker but much more powerful.

The businessmen had no way to stop them, because the classes on both sides were completely unequal, so Tommy had already thought about it from the beginning. If the interests of the two classes were to interact, the gangs would only turn to the businessmen. But they are two completely different groups.

"Okay, everyone, let's take a rest for one hour, and then we will continue the meeting."

Tommy stood up and applause rang out. Tommy nodded and sat down. He looked at the mural in the room, a picture of a ship moving in the wind and waves, and showed a happy smile.
