9 a.m

Le Xiao stretched her waist, she had just eaten breakfast, and her mood had fully recovered, and she ran straight back to the house yesterday.

A two-story and somewhat dilapidated small house, there is a garden on the roof, only the kitchen in the room is equipped with light and shadow equipment that can generate a stove, and the other furniture in the room is solid, many of which have long been dilapidated, Le Xiao looked at the small round table in front of him, recalling that when he was a child, he often had a family eating together around this small round table.

"Lele, it's all at this point, doesn't it matter if you don't go back to the company, you see that your boss is not small, it's 9 o'clock."

A woman in her 40s walked out of the kitchen, and the years left traces of hardship on this woman's face, but it still could not hide the gentle and beautiful charm of this woman.

"Mom, it's okay, I'll take leave from the company."

Le Xiao said that she hurriedly put her face aside, she lied to her mother, she had obviously been dismissed, and she also lied that her salary was now 3000 a month, she saved a little money, and when she came back, she also helped the family pay off a little debt from the neighborhood, and bought some daily necessities for her mother.

On a small cabinet not far away, there is a photo, which was taken by Le Xiao and his parents when he was a child, but the place where his father is in the photo has been cut out, and Le Xiao can't even remember his father's appearance, and about his father, Le Xiao couldn't help but didn't ask.

As he grew older, Le Xiao probably understood how lucky and difficult it was to be born in the Bright City.

Because of the extension of human life expectancy and the huge population base, if a couple wants to have a child, they must go to the first urban management department to obtain the relevant qualifications, the first point is to be able to raise children, and then there is a long queue, and their mother is almost 70 years old.

If you have a child without permission, you can only choose to be exiled to the Fortress District, and it is a serious crime to give birth to a child illegitimate in Bright City.

Mother told Le Xiao before that she and her father waited for more than 30 years to get a birth permit, and now the population of the upper, middle and lower three floors of Bright City has exceeded 30 million, and this is not counting the people in the barrier area, because the people in the barrier area have nothing to do with life or death and people under the sun, Le Xiao has also seen several times the family that was forcibly taken away by the 5th Public Security Management Section because of an illegitimate child.

The originally good family fell into hell because of the sudden disappearance of his father, and in order not to be exiled to the barrier area, the young Le Xiao watched his mother take on everything alone, and got up early and greedy for money to raise Le Xiao.

One of the most expensive costs is a special vaccine so that people can live to 150 years old, followed by the cost of school.

Located on the edge of the south-western district, is the No. 2 slum, where most of the people generally use once a month, from the people outside the barrier area to the guard station to sell some old furniture, because the people in the slum generally have an income of less than 500, it is already extremely difficult to live a month, and the only way to get out is to work hard.

The time was about to run, and Rakushino decided to go back to the middle level and look for a job in the 9th Business Division.

"You take Lele with this."

As soon as she went out, Le Xiao stopped her mother, and a necklace with an emerald green gem was worn on Le Xiao's body, and she was shocked.

"Mom, isn't this an ancestral relic of our family?"

"If there's anything in case, this thing can be exchanged for a lot of money."

Le Xiaogang wanted to refuse, but hugged his mother.

"Remember that if conditions permit, buy some fresh food to cook and eat by yourself, it's always bad to eat too much canned food, listen to your mother's words and take it."

Le Xiao's body was a little heavy, until she got on the train to the middle level, she finally covered her mouth and cried, in the four years after graduating from college, she didn't know how many jobs she had done, but the failures again and again made her feel ashamed of everything her mother had paid for her, and no matter how she tried to hide the dilemma, her mother had already seen her lie, and her mother only took 5,000 of the money in her wallet, leaving 10,000 for Le Xiao.

There were only a few people in the carriage, and many of them were full of hope in their eyes, they seemed to be leaving the slums for the first time to look for opportunities in the middle floor, but Le Xiao immediately realized that these children, who didn't seem to be very old, didn't seem to have much education.

"Sister, look at you from the top, your clothes are so beautiful."

A little girl sitting next to her looked at Le Xiao enviously, she nodded, and the other children in their 20s and so looked a little nervous.

"It's okay, as long as you find a job and work hard, something good will happen."

........

In a spacious and bright cafeteria, many people in black uniforms are choosing food at a long food table, they can choose a kind of meat, a vegetable and a soup dish, the canteen is very large, and there are many people in the general affairs department, wearing white uniforms.

There was a sizzling sound, and pieces of steak that had been cooked to a medium degree were being put on plates for some people, and some special foods were only served to the section chief, secretary, and some section management personnel.

Locke was busy holding the plate, waiting anxiously, licking his mouth, while Michelle watched from the sidelines, their lunch today was steak, fresh vegetables, and a bowl of brisket soup.

"Add an extra piece."

Locke said to the chef, who immediately nodded and planned to add a steak to Locke, but quickly stopped Michelle.

"The number of steaks today is based on the number of officials who come to the whole department."

Michelle said as she tugged at Locke's collar and sat down at a quiet table for four.

"Hmph, what's the matter, I've had an eating disorder lately, and I just want to eat meat."

Michelle moved her plate of steak to Locke, and he gulped down with delight.

Soon Locke Jiahui ate two steaks, and looked at the last steak left with greed, but no one came, Locke Jiahui sat like pins and needles shaking his legs, and his fat chest also shook up and down, attracting snickers from some nearby clerks.

After a while, it was almost time, and Locke walked over and took the steak directly, sprinkled it with pepper and was about to start eating, but at that moment a fork pressed on the steak.

"Who'......."

As soon as Locke raised his head, he saw Jean with a cigarette in his mouth, and Michelle was startled and hurriedly got up and stood aside.

"Master Jean."

"What are you doing Gene?"

Locke said dissatisfied.

"I need investigative authority, the level is Congressional, all the formalities have been completed, and I need your signature as the head of the 13 sections."

As he spoke, Jean turned on the light and shadow phone, and then called up a light and shadow file, Locke looked at it dissatisfied, but soon his eyes widened.

"No, Jean, you haven't made enough trouble? I'm going to blow up my head in the last few days, go to the business department to collect information? Big brother, don't play with me, you also know how many big consortia there are behind the business department, I ........"

Without saying a word, Jean picked up the steak and was about to start eating, but Locke looked at it greedily.

"If this doesn't work out, you're going to be rebuked by Congress, fatty."

Locke glared angrily for a while, staring at the tender and juicy steak in Jean's hand like a torch.

"Give me the steak first, and then I'll talk about it when I'm done and get to my office."

After eating after a while, Locke took Jean directly to the top floor of the 13th floor, an office that looked like a private paradise, with everything in it, the roof and four walls were glass, the sides were planted with plants and some indoor trees, and there was a pool for four or five people to bathe at the same time, a set of snow-white tiger-striped sofas, a red carpet, a small wine cabinet with a lot of high-end wine, and some cigarettes.

As soon as he entered, Jean opened the cabinet, took two cigarettes from it, and put them in his light and shadow locker.

"Hey, Jean, do you really think this is your home? Won't you buy your own cigarettes? ”

"You don't smoke anyway."

Jean leaned back comfortably on the couch, and Secretary General Michelle was looking at Jean's papers.

"I said forget it, Jean, you can't afford to mess with those guys in the consortium, maybe even our general affairs department will be implicated, if something goes wrong then, you and I can't carry such a big pot."

"Count it on my head."

Locke was speechless for a moment, his expression became serious, and he walked up to Jean, the smoke drifting past him, and he pinched his nose with a look of disgust.

"Jean, what did you find, last night that little rabbit cub in the sky mark almost killed the people of the 5th department, Niya called me early this morning, I heard that it was finally over just now."

Jean seemed to have expected it.

"Aren't people still alive?"

Michelle walked over and sat down in front of Locke.

"Recently, there are indeed many problems in the financial situation of Sanlian Company, and when the Commercial Division filed a tax return for our General Affairs Division, the value was abnormal, but there were some things, and we could only turn a blind eye, after all, the number of members of the Diet accounted for 27%."

"I can tell you Jean, it's okay to ask me to sign, don't mess around, I beg you."

Locke looked at Jean with a bitter expression.

"There is an undercurrent surging in the city, something is coming, maybe it is enough to shake the foundation of the city, I warned you in advance."

Locke took Jean's phone, signed his name on it with his finger, and waited for a beam of red light to scan his body before the investigation warrant came into effect.

"Thank you."

Jean said and left.

After a while, Locke breathed a sigh of relief.

"You go and follow Gene Michelle."

Michelle looked at Locke in surprise.

"Your Excellency, I'll find out for Lord Jean."

"It's okay, if something goes wrong, we know it's too late, staring at Jean 24 hours a day, I really don't know what those adults think, so let Gene ...... My lord. ”

On No. 1 Street, located on the 12th ring street in the south of the middle floor, there is a giant building in the shape of a round cake with five floors, and on the outside of this huge round cake building, there are six small round cake buildings, only three stories high, marked with the numbers 0 to 5.

Roundhouses 2 and 3 contain job postings from all companies in the city, while roundhouses 4 and 5 are private job postings.

People in the whole bright city want to quickly find a job can come directly to the business department, as long as you enter your name, the system here will filter out some jobs that are suitable for you, and all your resumes are bound to your ID card, you can quickly receive remote light and shadow interviews.

This is the link that Le Xiao is most afraid of, she stood at the door of the No. 2 roundhouse, watching the people coming in and out, some people were as panicked as him and wanted to go in, and there were people who came out who were depressed, and there were people who jumped up with joy, and the No. 2 roundhouse was all recruitment information for big companies.

Le Xiao trembled and walked to the light and shadow scanner next to him, and after a beam of red light swept, the light and shadow screen in front of him began to calculate.

After a while, a string of words appeared on the screen

Competent: None

Suggested job: Services

Best job: Special shop maid

Please go to Roundhouse 5

Le Xiaodong blushed and looked at the prompt on the screen.

"Break the system, let me do ......."

Le Xiao, who was just about to get angry, suddenly saw a familiar figure, Jean, with a gentle smile on his face as always, a cigarette in his hand, and a light walk.

Suddenly, Le Xiao's heart was full of joy and ran over, a stream of sourness overflowed from the bottom of her heart, she ran through the crowd and ran quickly, but just when she wanted to shout, she saw Jean enter the No. 0 roundhouse.

Le Xiao stopped, that is only the owner of the enterprise, social celebrities, and high-ranking personnel are qualified to enter, she sat on the bench by the lawn on the side of the face with a discouraged face.

As soon as Jean entered the Roundhouse 0, he immediately attracted the attention of many people in the 9th Division, and many sexy and hot beauties in uniform were receiving some bosses, celebrities, and leaders from all walks of life.

But as Jean entered, the staff of Section 9, who was receiving customers in his area, had already gotten up and leaned over.

"Mistress Jean, do you have a special permit to come here today?"

A beautiful woman in charge stood up and asked first, Jean took out her phone, the woman in charge took her phone, and soon she received an orange document.

With a creak, the door of the passage connecting the big round cake building in the middle opened, and Jean walked in quickly, and the people around looked at Jean in amazement, not knowing who this man in a shirt and uniform jacket in his hand was who was actually qualified to enter the core of the 9th Business Division, the area where all the past business records had been stored here since the establishment of the Bright City.

Jean has been here more than once or twice, as soon as you enter the round cake building, you can see two completely different worlds, on the left is a row of dense bookshelves, which are full of all the hand-copied business records, and on the right are the business records recorded by the system, in order to prevent errors in a certain link and errors or other problems in the virtual records, so virtual records and hand-copied records are used, Jean walked into the physical bookshelf area on the left, many hand-copied people are busy in a hall, A bearded man with enthusiasm on his face walked over quickly.

"I thought you'd be here Jean, hehe, what are you here for?"

"I'm here to warn you that something is going bad."
