Chapter 1,292: Fierce Fight! Master and Disciple 73 (Part 1)

4:00 a.m.

On First Avenue, many vehicles were constantly passing, and most of the people attending the banquet came out of the mansions of some big families.

In the entire family area, only the Angus family was dark. The residential area that used to be brightly lit at this time of year could no longer see a trace of light.

The Angus family has dismissed a large number of people serving in the mansion, and it has been a long time since they held a banquet. During this period, the Angus couple went to many large and small families in the hope of borrowing money, but most of the families refused, because many people knew that the Angus family was now completely dragged down. The construction of the city has just been completed by one-third, and the remaining construction is hell for the entire Angus family.

The economic analysts in many family companies have long seen everything about the Angus family clearly. Now the Angus family wants to make a profit, and it will take at least 30 years. This is unimaginable for many people, because no one knows what will happen in 30 years. Perhaps technology will be further opened up, and air transportation will come into being.

After all, there are now extremely convenient things like take-offs and landings. Although the technology of take-offs and landings is currently only open to some large enterprises and not to the whole people, many people are very confident in such floating technology. This is a point that many family members will invest in once the technology is open in the future.

Over the years, many people have seen clearly that Congress will never let money depreciate. Thirty years ago, an egg cost 4 to 5 cents, and now an egg still costs 4 to 5 cents, so the people of the family are accumulating their own wealth, and even reducing a lot of investment, only investing in stable industries.

This approach also gave many low-level and middle-level businessmen opportunities and began to rise rapidly, especially after the pricing power was repaired last year. It was not a mandatory regulation by the 9 departments, but a flexible regulation based on the market.

Many people with unique vision stood out because of this, and the economy that was once controlled and suppressed by the family began to flow.

"I really don't know what the Angus family thinks."

The patriarch of a family sighed helplessly, and the patriarch of a family next to him laughed.

"No matter what you think, you can only bite the bullet and do it now. The money for one day of work is an astronomical figure. It is too difficult to fill such a big hole in a short time."

Many people know that the entire construction is now a thorny mess. Looking across the dark lawn, you can see the small house standing on the right side of the Angus family's main residence, with sporadic lights on, and some planting sheds behind the house are still on.

The Angus family's originally beautiful garden has been completely renovated and turned into a plantation. Many people are saying that everyone in their family is living a more embarrassing life now.

Charles sent the last batch of guests to the door, looking at the dark Angus family opposite, he sighed helplessly. His wife and daughter are still at Angus's house. In recent years, the relationship between Charles and his wife has eased a little. The two of them chat and go shopping from time to time, but this relationship is just a family relationship.

Gene came tonight, and Charles also talked a lot with Gene. He also nodded. If the Congress really has a day to take back the family's immunity, he will take the initiative to hand over the immunity of the Eberron family.

Charles just didn't expect it to be so fast, but most families would oppose it. Gene has visited many families tonight. Although he didn't say it directly, his meaning in the conversation was very clear.

The only one who can end the current predicament of the Angus family is the Hillman family. If the Hillman family is willing to lend a hand, the Angus family can get out of the predicament, but it is obvious that the Hillman family was nominally cooperating at the beginning of the construction, but in fact, they made too much money by relying on the construction of the Angus family. Everyone knows it well. Now the people of the two families no longer have any intersection.

In many banquets that Charles has attended, he found that the people of the two families no longer have more than half a word.

"Freya!"

"What's wrong?"

Charles held up the phone.

"It's past 4 o'clock."

"Michelle has fallen asleep, I won't be back tonight."

Charles hummed, and his wife sounded energetic.

"Rest early, after all, you"

"I have a baby in my belly, I know."

His wife sounded very happy.

Freya smiled, holding a cup of hot water in her hand. Alpha, who was sitting opposite her, had a red face and several empty wine bottles beside him. They hadn't had such a good chat for a long time.

"Sister Freya, you don't need to think about these things. I'll teach you a way. Just ignore them."

Alpha walked to the window and took out a cigarette. After lighting it, he quietly looked at the planting shed not far away. Now all the people in the Angus family eat the crops grown here.

This piece of land has been a flower and grass planting land for a long time. The soil is very fertile. All the flowers here have been sold to the flower cultivation company. Not a single one is left.

There used to be a very beautiful and magnificent flower garden behind Angus's house. In Alpha's memory, when he was a child, he would always follow the fragrance of flowers to rest here. Now most of the facilities have been demolished and transformed into a large planting land.

Freya said a lot tonight. Whenever she travels recently, reporters will follow her. No matter where she goes, she seems to be a star. She is a little distressed. Alpha has also experienced it. At first, she was extremely uncomfortable, but then gradually Just ignore it.

"It must be that guy from King Xue."

Alpha pressed his forehead, and the face that always looked gentle and gentle emerged in his mind, but secretly he was a very insidious guy, and he was very good at using public opinion, knew how to seize opportunities, and was able to create opportunities, but his methods were a bit dirty. , this is recognized by everyone in the entire Divine Academy, King Xue’s ability.

Although many things in these years seem to be handled by Section 1, Alpha knows that some of the ways Section 1 handles situations are exactly the way King Xue handles situations.

"Alpha, the question of immunity is not possible"

"I know."

Alpha knew what Freya was worried about. The next step was indeed to cancel the immunity of the entire family. The matter was very troublesome and had to be done step by step.

"Sister Freya, go to bed early!"

Freya nodded and looked at Alpha's somewhat lonely back. She originally wanted to tell Alpha that Jean had gone to a lot of family matters tonight, but in the end she held back.

Jean no longer said anything to Alpha, and Alpha didn't ask anything. Obviously, as master and apprentice, the two should not have such a cold relationship, but maybe this is the way they have gotten along since they were young. Leya didn't intend to say anything.

Freya went upstairs and came to the guest room. Michelle was already asleep, and Freya lay down gently on the bed.

A wave of warmth came, Freya turned around, and her daughter rubbed into her arms, like a small stove.

I talked a lot with Alpha tonight, most of which were about issues in the future, and both of them had different opinions.

In Freya's view, Alpha is very good in every aspect, but there is only one thing: people need encouragement, especially encouragement from those closest to them, which is extremely important to everyone. Yes, Freya herself also needs recognition, but this recognition is recognition from the same kind of consciousness, and she has received it countless times.

A lonely genius, this is Freya's understanding of Alpha, but she also needs to be recognized and recognized by Jean. Freya knows what Jean wants to do, and also knows why Alpha is so desperate. It is obviously just that. Simple stuff, but one says nothing and one asks nothing.

Freya would mention this matter every time she saw Jean, but Jean would always avoid it head-on. It was obvious that Alpha had done a good enough job now.

"Alpha, why aren't you sleeping yet?"

Violet, wearing pajamas, walked up behind Alpha, who shook his head.

"Can't sleep."

Although he had drunk a lot of wine and was drunk, Alpha was not sleepy at all.

"Mom, this place used to be very lively every year."

Violet smiled and moved closer to her daughter, rubbing her back comfortingly.

"Everyone will grow up and get older. It's getting late, Alpha. You still have work tomorrow!"

Violet said, taking off the half-remaining cigarette from Alpha's mouth, extinguishing it, then turned and walked away.

"By the way Alpha, Mr. Jean visited many families tonight."

Alpha's eyes widened for a moment, a little surprised, but then the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"Thanks! Mom."

4:31 am

Tamai rubbed his hands together, stood quietly in front of the 100-square-meter apartment he rented, and gently opened the door.

"I'm home!"

"Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Tamai looked with some surprise at Baleka, who was sitting on the soft sofa by the door, watching the TV program. She quickly paused the program, stood up, took the uniform jacket that Tamai took off, and hung it on the wall. superior.

"Wait for you!"

Baleka held Tamai's hand with a bright smile, and Tamai nodded in a good mood.

"I've prepared the dishes. I just need to reheat some."

As soon as he entered the living room, Tamai smiled happily. The entire living room was decorated very grandly, and many of the paper-cuts looked like they were made by Baleka.

"Go take a shower and let's celebrate the New Year together."

Baleka urged. After Tamai kissed her forehead, she turned and entered the bathroom. Before entering, she glanced at Baleka who was placing cups and smiled helplessly.

This is the first time Tamai has fallen in love with a woman, and this time he is completely in love with her. Although many colleagues said they couldn't have her, Tamai endured a lot of pressure from people talking behind her back. I moved out of the dormitory of Section 5 and lived with Baleka.

This little girl is very good, very smart, and very considerate. Tamai has noticed this in these few short months. Originally, Peristan had recommended some film and television companies to Baleka, but Baleka did not go, but chose to follow him.

Tamai also decided to take up his responsibilities as a man, work hard, and marry Baleka in a few years. He didn't care what Baleka had done in the past, because she had no choice in that unbearable and humiliating past. , can only be forced to accept.

The bathroom door opened, and Baleka walked in, smiling softly.

"I'll rub your back."

Tamai sat quietly on the chair, enjoying the little happiness after the work. Every new year, the work in Section 5 is hell. Tamai had just finished his shift and could only rest until 12 noon. Gotta get back to patrolling the streets.

Baleka is still in punishment and needs to work in a nearby orphanage every day. During this time, Baleka has become much more cheerful, unlike the way she always evaded before the two of them established a formal relationship.

"Next year I will be transferred to the bottom floor. How about you on the middle floor? I will take the subway back when I have time."

Baleka pursed his lips and shook his head.

"I'll go down with you, and I can just find a job."

Hearing these words, Tamai felt hot in his heart.

"By the way, you haven't been on the job for many years. I heard that you refused to be promoted to squad leader."

Tamai hummed.

"I don't have much talent, Baleka. Being a manager is not suitable for me. Patrolling the streets every day is actually quite good."

Baleka hummed and happily talked about some delicious things he had cooked today. After the two chatted for a while, Tamay returned to the living room after taking a bath and planned to help, but Baleka asked him to sit down. That’s it.

Tamai has many friends now. When those friends found out, they all expressed their blessings. Although Tamai has no talent, he knows very well what kind of talents everyone around him has. He has recommended many people over the years. People are all playing a role, and Tamai doesn't want to continue to go up. He just needs to keep sending some talented people up. Only these people can really change some things.

Tamai looked at Baleka who was busy. He was extremely happy at this moment and just needed to continue.

"I'll have a holiday in a few days and I'll go see you with you."

For a moment, Baleka's expression suddenly changed, an angry expression appeared on his face, and his expression fell for a moment.

"Sorry! Shouldn't have mentioned it."

Baleka smiled stiffly.

"I hate her, I hate her. Every time I think about her, I..."

Baleka covered her mouth and ran to the kitchen, sobbing sadly. Tamai knew that he said something he shouldn't have said. He knew Baleka's situation very well. Tamai went to see Baleka's mother. , as soon as she heard that she was a professional, the woman became excited and hoped that Tamai could help her and let her be released from prison early.

Tamayimuna stood at the door of the kitchen, looking at Baleka who was still wiping tears, and wanted to go over to comfort her, but soon Baleka started laughing again and wiped her tears.

"Sorry Tamai, I'm fine, don't mention her again."

Tamayi snorted. Baleka's mother was sentenced to six years in prison. Tamayi also knew about Baleka's mother. After her husband died, she took Baleka alone and got into gambling when she was desperate. , and he has been addicted to it since then and became a gambler.

“No matter what the problem is, it can be solved, depending on your willingness to put in the time and experience Tamai.”

At this time, Tamai thought of what Peristan had said. He planned to wait slowly for a year or two, when Baleka would stop crying because of thinking about his mother, and then solve this problem.

The night is getting darker and darker, and management vehicles are constantly whizzing by. Some problems always occur during the New Year every year, and there are countless problems caused by drunkenness.

Several people who were drunk in front of a store were carried to the car by people from Section 5. They would be sent to the management center to wait for them to sober up.

The outdoor temperature on the ground floor is very low during this time. The closer to the edge, the lower the temperature, usually around 1 to 5 degrees, which is very likely to freeze to death.

call

Tian Hen exhaled a breath of hot breath, and opened the door of his home room with a shiver. The room immediately became warm. Tian Hen wiped his nose that was so cold that it flowed out. He had just delivered the last order of takeout in the store. Today's work is considered it's over.

After entering the bedroom, my sister Tianai was still sleeping soundly. She still couldn't speak. She had been taken for a checkup. The doctor said it might be caused by some stimulation. The only thing Tianhen could think of was her mother's death. Although my sister was young at that time, she was by the side when her mother died.

Because Tianhen himself was still young and so was his sister at the time, his father could only keep the two of them in the hospital in order to support his mother's treatment expenses.

The stiff fingers began to become active. Tian Hen tiredly took out a box of food. After eating it quickly, he looked tiredly at some lamps placed in the room. He still needed to finish coloring. After Tianhen rested for more than ten minutes, he started working again. The delivery will be at 12 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. In the evening, he will go to the store to deliver takeaways.

Fortunately, my sister can now eat and sleep by herself. She only needs to play music to spend the whole day.

His father is still working in the agricultural field in the east, because the family still owes a lot of money, which he cannot afford to pay back in a short time. But now that Tianhen is 14 years old, he has the ability to support his sister.

After carefully coloring the lamps one by one, Tian Hen felt a little sleepy. He set the alarm clock, climbed to the bedside of himself and his sister, and fell asleep quickly after lying down.

In a daze, Tian Hen heard a burst of music. When he opened his eyes, he saw his sister squatting next to a pile of lamps and coloring. Tian Hen was startled and ran over in a hurry.

"Tian Ai, what are you doing?"

Tian Ai smiled and held up something in his hand.

Tian Hen looked and found that the coloring was correct. Tian Ai was not making a fuss. She was just 5 years old. Tian Hen felt a little relieved and taught his sister how to color.

It was just past 5 o'clock, and Tian Hen's tiredness disappeared. The brother and sister quickly finished coloring a large box of light tubes.

"Tian Ai, do you want to talk?"

Tian Ai opened her mouth slightly, nodded with a smile, but still couldn't make a sound in her throat. Tian Hen smiled and said.

"It will be fine slowly, it's okay."

Tian Hen planned to take Tian Ai to the east to see his father in a few days. It has been several months since he went there.

People nearby advised Tian Hen to send Tian Ai to an orphanage so that his life would be easier, but Tian Hen refused several times.

Tian Hen felt that he could support his sister, but he also knew that this was impossible. Last month, his sister was sick. In order to give her better medical care, Tian Hen sent his sister to a high-level medical facility. The money earned during this period was almost spent.

Tian Ai can go to school in two years. If she still can't speak, she can only be sent to a special school, which will cost more.

Tianhen's part-time job salary was very low. At this time, his sister walked up to Tianhen and pointed at her stomach. Tianhen knew that she was hungry, so he stood up and started to make enough food for Tianai for a whole day.

Looking at Tianai again, Tianhen remembered something. When he took his sister to the big hospital before, a wealthy couple talked to him a lot. They came down a few days ago and proposed to adopt Tianai. Tianhen did not refuse. He looked at Tianai who was smiling. This might be the best way for his sister. The couple also said that they could come back to see his sister at any time when they were stable.

"That's it."

Tianhen looked at Tianai again, and his mood became a little heavy. His nose was a little sour. Although he could support his sister, he couldn't fill her stomach.

Tianhen took out the phone number of the couple he had got from his pocket. After thinking for a moment, he made up his mind to call the couple tomorrow.

The lights in the city have been lit up again. Many shops that were open during the day have opened their doors. Many hangover people walked into the shops in twos and threes, looking listless.

The carnival will continue today, especially this year. Many districts will have carnival activities in the district for several nights in a row.

The streets of District 1 have already started to get hot. Many 24-hour shops are changing shifts. Gene walked into the square of the General Affairs Department with a smile on his face, holding his uniform in his hand. He could already see the busy staff of the Operations Department. After walking all the way to the cafeteria, many people greeted Gene, and Gene sat quietly in front of the food table.

"Master Gene, why are you here so early today? What do you want to eat?"

"Just give me a bowl of noodles, chef."

At this time, several staff members around him who seemed to have come last night were discussing which store to eat outside. Many people were reluctant to eat in the canteen of the General Affairs Department because the food here tasted so-so. The chef had been doing this for many years. Gene was very familiar with him. He was also a criminal in the past and was sentenced to 20 years in prison.

After being released from prison, Gene introduced him here because the prisoners used to cook in prisons, and this chef was the chef in Prison No. 2 at the time. This was also his only specialty. With a criminal record, he had difficulty finding a job, and finally came here with Gene's introduction.

In just a few short years, the sound of the General Affairs Department's food being unpalatable was heard constantly. Although the chef had thought of many ways, he still couldn't improve it. Many of the chefs who cooked here used to cook for prisoners in prison. They only knew some simple and rough cooking methods. Although Locke had taught them, the food they cooked was still so-so.

The only advantage of the food in the General Affairs Department is that it is full and you can eat whenever you want, but you need to apply in advance.

At this time, accompanied by a commotion, Gary Locke came out of the elevator with a livid face. When he saw Gene, he ran over as if he had seen a savior.

"Can you help me with things, Gene? I'm too busy today."

Gene smiled at Gary Locke and finally nodded.

"Chef, give me a big plate of meat, eggs, and a bowl of porridge."

"Is that all I can eat in the morning?"

At this time, a portion of stinky tofu was served. Gary Locke widened his eyes and swallowed, but Gene ate it by himself.

"It tastes good."

"Give me some."

Gene shook his head.

"This is my breakfast, Fatty."

Gary Locke's stomach growled, and Gene gave Gary Locke a piece. After he ate it, he immediately raised his thumb. This kind of thing is not popular in the cafeteria, but Gene and Gary Locke like to eat it very much, and the chef will make some from time to time.

"Come on, Fatty. Today is your first official date with Wanrou."

Gary Locke frowned slightly.

"You really know everything."

Gene nodded.

"Remember what I told you before, the first element of dating a girl."

Gary Locke waved his hand.

"I know, my ears are almost covered with calluses."

Soon Gene came directly to Gary Locke's private lounge, turned on several light and shadow screens, and prepared to start dealing with the affairs of the General Affairs Department.

Gene looked at some documents, starting with the most complicated issue of pricing power, flipping through them quickly, and quickly rejected many of them.

In just half an hour, the light of the artificial sun began to penetrate the window. Gene smiled helplessly. The current affairs department was a bit loose. This was not what Gene wanted to see. No matter how coordinated Locke was, many practical The existing problems have already begun. The coordination among various departments has begun to become disordered due to the emergence of the group of parliamentarians.

The current work efficiency of the General Affairs Department is somewhat low, and Gene knows why, because each department has its own affairs, which cannot be put on the table.

Nowadays, the management of the management department are all students of the School of God in the past. It is precisely because of this relationship that the current management department has become much looser. Because everyone is a classmate, there is no way to use the superiors and subordinates for many things. It is not measured by relationships, but on some issues, many people will choose to remain silent and work hard to do their own things well.

Gene knew that he had to find a way to mobilize the interaction of the administrative department. If this continued, the situation of the administrative department would be very bad.

"The reason is Alpha!"

Gene smiled and lit a cigarette, already thinking of a solution.

In the past, there were too many seemingly complex problems in the city, but now these problems, large and small, have been reduced a lot under strong control. The current problems are more complex, issues of rights and money. As well as the alternating problems of truth and lies, no matter how we deal with them, these problems have two sides and cannot be dealt with by the simple and crude methods in the past.

This is a sign that a city is maturing towards a high degree of order and legality. It can no longer do something hastily because there are a group of parliamentarians watching.

"Lord Jean!"

Yin Xianglin came in with a smile and tea. At this time, several female directors also came in. They all looked very positive and wanted to report on today's affairs in the general affairs department.

"It's going to be hard for you ladies today! But it should be a happy day."
