Chapter 19 The Successor (Part 1)

10 o'clock in the morning

Le Xiao, who walked out of the 10th department, had not recovered yet. She was still sniffing. Gene left without saying anything more. Le Xiao actually wanted Gene to teach her something. She had thought about this scene countless times in her mind, but it had never happened.

That kind of hand-in-hand teaching became Le Xiao's fantasy at this moment. She heard about Gene from Alpha. Gene was going out to find resources. Although Le Xiao just knew about this, she knew it was very important.

After all, if the barrier area is to be bathed in the sun, it will indeed consume a lot of resources. Alpha looked at the crowd who were talking about it. She had already told her classmates that everyone should get together tonight. It was the first class reunion in so many years.

Although Le Xiao understood, she was still very uncomfortable. Alpha stared at Su Li who came over. She hugged her. Alpha was a little repulsive, but still smiled.

"Congratulations on your release, Alpha."

Su Li's voice was very low, but it contained sincerity. Alpha hummed and said thank you. Su Li hugged Le Xiao again.

"This, that..."

"Don't say that, didn't you promise to help me just now?"

Le Xiao nodded.

"What is it? Tell me a little bit."

Alpha looked at Le Xiao in confusion, tears still hanging on her face, but the whole person was obviously cheered up, and there was no sign that she had just cried.

This girl is a fish!

Alpha looked at her sister Niya who came over.

"Asshole, you fought with me that day and actually let me go."

Alpha smiled slightly embarrassedly, Niya slapped her on the back, and Alpha grinned slightly.

"Sister, you will have a headache from now on."

Nia said, looking at Le Xiao who was pulled away by Gu Ningning in front of her, Alpha smiled slightly.

"It looks like this."

Le Xiao looked suspiciously at Su Li who claimed to be her aunt next to her. She still didn't believe it because her mother never mentioned it.

"I'm really your aunt. If you don't believe me, you can check DNA later to see if we are relatives."

Le Xiao laughed awkwardly. A group of people were going down the stairs and would soon reach the General Affairs Department. But at this time, Le Xiao felt surprised because a temporary platform had been built on the square. The platform was not high, but there were many people. Many businessmen and reporters in the city came over.

"Can you tell me what is so grand?"

Le Xiao walked closer and saw many people from the Su family. She can now recognize the family and ordinary businessmen from the family emblem. Such a big battle must not be an ordinary trivial matter. Le Xiao felt an invisible pressure. She looked carefully at Su Li with a smile on her face.

"This matter is not troublesome."

Su Li nodded.

"It's not troublesome."

Although Su Li said so, Le Xiao still felt that the matter was not simple.

Finally, they came to the side of the platform. The people of the Su family also gathered around, staring at Le Xiao, and then bowed slightly. Le Xiao smiled awkwardly.

"No, no."

"Le Xiao, go and have a rest first, come over at 10:30."

Le Xiao hummed, and ran awkwardly. As soon as she entered the hall of the General Affairs Department, Chloe came over and grabbed Le Xiao.

"Can you lend me some money for the time being?"

Le Xiao smiled helplessly. She was penniless now. Although she still carried a small treasury with her, she recalled the way she was scolded by Michelle last night, and felt the pressure increased again.

I must hold back, I just took over such an important task.

Le Xiao thought that she must not use half a cent in the treasury again. She glanced at the General Affairs Department. This place was a guarantee that she would not starve. She just wanted to come here every day for free meals. Anyway, it would be a waste if she didn't eat.

"Come here."

Zi Yuer grabbed Chloe, she looked at Le Xiao pitifully, Le Xiao didn't understand why Chloe was so short of money. After all, she was a family member, and Ivy, the head of Section 9, was her aunt. How could she borrow money from herself?

Besides, although Chloe had just taken office like herself, she heard that she was the best student in the whole field academy. The academy had a salary from the beginning of school. She entered when she was in her teens, and now she has at least several million in salary.

"You are so rich, how can you be short of money?"

Gu Ningning came over and whispered to Le Xiao.

"Le Le, you'd better not get involved with that girl. That girl's family is a bit abnormal."

Le Xiao couldn't help but sigh, but she didn't ask more. She really wanted to rest for a while, and then she went to the lounge on the second floor with Gu Ningning.

Su Li was still discussing some things with several core members of the family. Everyone seemed very happy, because under the pretext of changing the patriarch, many cooperations could implement the force majeure clause, so that they could justifiably terminate some low-profit cooperations.

"Grandma, she can't handle some of the Su family's affairs anyway, so what should we do next..."

"I'm not kidding you. From now on, the Su family will be ruled by your younger aunt."

As soon as Su Li finished speaking, many of the younger members of the Su family laughed awkwardly. Le Xiao is now their aunt, and Su Li never jokes when she talks.

"You can do whatever you want. Anyway, I'm going to retire now. The Su family will be handed over to you in the future. I hope that you all can work together under the leadership of the trusted patriarch to make the Su family continue to be glorious as always."

Su Ying walked over and took Su Li's hand. Except for the Su family, most people were guessing who the new patriarch would be. Soon reporters started reporting and locked the heir of the Su family on the younger generation of the Su family, and started live interviews directly.

With the initial reports in the morning, this matter has now become a hot topic in the city.

Many people are watching the live broadcast. The changes in the Su family have made many people feel the crisis, especially the businessmen, but some people have smelled business opportunities. It depends on who will take over the Su family.

Gary Locke and Michelle returned to Gary Locke's private lounge on the 5th floor of the General Affairs Department. Gary Locke looked at Michelle with a smile. Michelle came in and sat in front of Gary Locke.

"Oh, Michelle, look, Gene has retired, and I'm almost there."

Michelle's expression changed slightly, but she said quickly.

"Mr. General Manager, I think you are still very young, and the General Affairs Department needs you."

Gary Locke did not expect Michelle to say such a thing, which surprised him a little.

"I didn't expect you to say that."

Michelle stood up and bowed slightly.

"Mr. General Manager, there are many things that I can accomplish only because you taught me, thank you."

Gary Locke was a little surprised. She didn't know what happened to Michelle today, but looking at Michelle's appearance, she should want to talk to her about something. Gary Locke stood up, and Michelle turned around and said.

"I'm here, General Manager, just sit down."

"Well, Michelle, just say whatever you want to say."

Gary Locke looked at Michelle and found the doubt on her face.

After a while, accompanied by a scent of tea, Michelle came over with two glasses of water. After sitting down, she seemed to hesitate a little.

"Go ahead, Michelle."

The section chiefs were talking about something in the section chief meeting room next door. Gary Locke did not go over. What they were talking about should be about the announcement of the heir by the Su family.

"I won't tell anyone, Michelle, I'm very tight-lipped."

"I know, Mr. General Manager, this matter is actually about Mr. Gene."

Gary Locke put away his relaxed smile and became serious.

"General Manager, I think the city has become like this, maybe it has something to do with Mr. Gene himself."

Gary Locke disagreed but did not deny it. He did realize that the city's current situation had a lot to do with Gene's approach, but it was also inevitable.

"Maybe the two overlap, so you think so."

Michelle nodded.

"For so many years, Mr. Gene has been committed to making the city brighter, but he has always been rational. This rationality has created some key things. Mr. Gene will definitely take action. Maybe it's just that it will cause very serious problems after the incident, but instead of hiding it, it may be better to let things explode sometimes."

Gary Locke smiled and said.

"You are influenced by that girl Le Xiao."

Michelle did not deny it.

"The fact is that Secretary Le Xiao did do something we couldn't do, and also touched some places we couldn't touch."

Gary Locke took a sip of water and said.

"You are right to think so, Michelle. No one can predict the future. Gene's approach has not changed from the beginning to now. Although I don't know when he had the idea of ​​pushing this ordinary girl up, this time, he violated his rationality for the first time."

Gary Locke sighed and stood up after he finished speaking.

"This was impossible in the past and has never happened, especially in the matter of Alpha. I was at the scene from the beginning to the end of that matter. I could do nothing, I couldn't say anything, and I didn't even say anything to excuse Alpha."

Michelle nodded slightly. The day after that incident, Michelle still remembered clearly that she had just heard about it and came out of school, ran back to First Avenue, and then ran to the outside of the Hillman family's manor, looking at the Hillman family that had been reduced to ruins.

Michelle couldn't imagine it at the time. In her impression, Alpha would never do such a thing, but such a bloody fact was in front of her.

"At that time, Gene didn't hesitate at all. After treating Alpha, he threw her directly into prison. Obviously, everyone present who knew the crimes of the Hillman family felt that Alpha was not wrong, but she crossed the bottom line of the city and went beyond the past in front of the newly established legal system."

Michelle knew very well that in the past half century, Alpha's time might have stopped on that night. She could not do anything. Those things that she wanted to give everything for in the past disappeared that night.

Now Alpha's stopped time has started again, but things have changed. Michelle knew very well that Alpha would not interfere with Le Xiao's practice. Many things that Alpha wanted to do in the past were eventually curbed.

The times did not allow her to do this. Alpha could only be helpless again and again, but this helplessness finally broke out because of the problems of the Hillman family.

"Although it may be a little rude to say this, I think it is a good thing that Mr. Gene is stepping down. He always influences others unconsciously, and this influence is good."

Gary Locke hummed.

"But this kind of influence is sometimes bad, so this time, although I feel a little regretful, it is our time next."

Gary Locke stared at Michelle in a daze. He didn't expect that she could see much more clearly than he did. Then Gary Locke stood up and looked at the time. It was almost 10:30, and the Su family's press conference was about to be held.

Now all press conferences of large enterprises and families will be held in the General Affairs Department, because the rioters in the city are likely to do something during the press conference, so it is relatively safe in the General Affairs Department.

The two got up and left the lounge. After going out, they saw a group of section chiefs. Michelle walked over and bowed slightly. Gary Locke looked at her back and couldn't help but think of Freya. He smiled helplessly and looked at his broad palm.

"Your era?"

Gary Locke laughed. He knew very well that his era was over. The reason why he had to stay in the General Affairs Department was that no matter how capable Michelle was, she still couldn't do some things alone. When Michelle found a successor, Gary Locke would leave as soon as possible.

It's a pity that Michelle still can't find someone who can become the secretary-general. At first, Wu Qun thought that Wu Qun's son Wu Lei was competent. His work ability and interpersonal relationships were the best in the entire General Affairs Department, but Michelle shook her head. She said that Wu Lei had fatal shortcomings.

Locke felt that Michelle was too mature a long time ago. She knew everything at a young age. Her heart was hot, but it was wrapped in a cold appearance, which was difficult to see.

When secretly helping Niya to pass the beginning, Locke saw that this girl was not unkind. Looking at what Michelle and Niya were talking about, the two were still as usual, not in tune.

But Locke knew better than anyone that Michelle would be extremely strict with those she recognized.

"What's the matter, Michelle? We just want to have a good drink today."

"Please go back to work, Chief Nia. Today's big event is bound to cause some problems, so I hope that all the chiefs can stick to their positions."

Michelle said, looking at Leona who wanted to leave early, and she smiled awkwardly.

"We will definitely stick to our posts, don't worry, Michelle."
