Chapter 185: Seizing the Light (Part 1)
"Old man, why are you staring at the house opposite all day long?"
Leng Rui looked at the wise man with a serious look. He didn't believe what he said about the women in the small building opposite staring at them, because Leng Rui would play cards and chat with the women opposite from time to time.
Leng Rui was so tired recently that he couldn't even raise his hands to eat. Although the people from Section 10 were helping with the maintenance of the server, most of the bugs or the maintenance of some core parts required Leng Rui to do it himself. Although Prometheus would help, the workload was still very heavy.
It's just that the situation in District 29 is very good at present. Many women in the first batch of tests have obtained good levels. Section 4 has also begun to gradually conduct knowledge surveys on these tested women. If possible, Section 4 will soon establish a system similar to the game to allow these women to systematically and comprehensively learn medical and pharmaceutical knowledge.
Once a person builds up self-confidence, the body will be full of motivation, and he can get out of the current situation. This plan has a good start.
Leng Rui has been thinking about how to add more reasonable rules and attractive places to the game recently. He feels that he has aged a lot. Ran Zhi smiled. He always feels that his feeling is right. There is something wrong with the woman on the opposite building. They are indeed being watched.
"Don't look at the old man, go downstairs to eat."
Leng Rui muttered, Ran Zhi smiled, and the two went downstairs. It was past 11 o'clock in the evening, which was the busiest time in District 29. Many female staff members on the street were patrolling, and they would strictly order some women to clean up the garbage in front of their shops.
District 29 has changed a little now. The street is no longer as chaotic as before. There is a certain order. Some customers dare not make trouble at will, because once they cause trouble, they will be arrested immediately.
"I did a lot tonight. Mr. Wise, where is Mr. Ran Zai?"
"I don't know where that kid went to make a joke."
Ran Zhi yawned and looked at the street. It has completely changed. When he was young, he liked to come to this place, but most of the time he was on Qinglong Street.
At present, the city has begun to change. The biggest problem is still employment and potential hemangioma patients. Although the 4th department has developed a special vaccine, the medical staff can't keep up with the patients. Many patients need care and nursing. Many medical staff have not had a good sleep for more than a month.
The city's medical system is facing tremendous pressure, which is why many people now have a positive voice on the plan of the Department of Action to transform the 29th District.
Ran Zhi now only hopes that there will be no major problems with the construction proposals at the bottom and the agricultural base plan in the barrier area. Once the two constructions are completed, the city will usher in unprecedented light.
Recently, the businessmen and family members at the upper level have begun to change their direction. After all, there is a plan that is extremely attractive to them. Ran Zhi looked at his mechanical arm. He had completely adapted to the previous stiffness, but he still couldn't adapt to the fact that his arm didn't feel it.
This biochemical mechanical transformation technology is a way for cities that have gradually entered an aging society to regain their firepower. The first old man who accepted the transformation and worked in the supermarket attracted a lot of attention every day. He has adapted well to the work in the supermarket.
The second batch of transformed elderly people's list has been released today, with 21 people. After seeing such a miracle, the elderly in some nursing homes in various places have begun to respond to this body transformation technology.
This is unprecedented in Ran Zai's opinion. At this time, there was a commotion at the door of the store, and Ada walked in with a smile.
"Ms. Ada, have you eaten?"
Ada nodded slightly, but still sat down. Yu Fangfang brought her a pair of chopsticks, and Ada smiled slightly and said.
"Let's have a drink."
Ran Zai nodded, and Leng Rui quickly finished eating and got up.
"I won't participate in the conversation between the old man and the old lady. I'm going to rest."
"Smelly boy, you will also get old."
Leng Rui went upstairs with a smile, and Yu Fangfang followed him up.
"How is it?"
Ada looked at Ran Zhi's arm, and he nodded.
"I've completely adapted to it. It's an incredible technique."
"When I'm not well, I want to be transformed."
Ada said, picking up the wine and pouring a glass for Ran Zhi. After they drank a glass, they both laughed. This was the first time they had a normal chat. When Ran Zhi went to Qinglong Street before, Ada brought some women with him, and Ran Zhi gave Ada a lot of benefits in private, and she helped Ran Zhi to connect with some high-level businessmen.
"Before, I had a chance to change, but unfortunately I gave up."
Ran Zhi nodded.
"In fact, if you follow Beckinsale, the result will be different, but maybe the process will be somewhat similar."
Things in the entertainment industry are always exactly the same. In the past, under the control of capital, even if Beckinsale could stand on his own, people would always choose capital when faced with the temptation of capital.
Ada, who had just started to make some progress in Beckinsale's performance studio, was tempted by capital and immediately turned to the arms of capital, willing to become a slave of capital.
Although the control of business affairs is very strict now, if you are found to have improper transactions in body or money for profit, it is a very serious crime. Although the entertainment industry has restrained, as long as capital exists, in order to become famous for money, there will definitely be Some people take risks.
Ada certainly understands this truth. People always like shiny things, and no one likes dilapidation and poverty. The two of them felt helpless when they talked about some things in the past.
"That would be really crazy."
Ran Zhi said and Ada laughed.
"Indeed, I have done so many bad things for you."
Ran Zhi hummed, and the two drank another drink. Ran Zhi looked at the small building across the street, and whispered to Ada. He suspected that there was something wrong with the woman inside, and asked Ada to find some when she had time. Check it out with a woman you can trust.
Ada agreed immediately. She believed in Ran Zhi's intuition, because his intuition was 100%. Ada remembered the idea Ran Zhi had given her before and followed Ran Zhi's words. It really made her happy. Ada made a lot of money and successfully boarded a big ship.
"We have clearly marked the prices. Where is the fraud? You ordered so many things. From the beginning, I told you not to order so much that you can't finish it. You can't return what you've bought."
There was a commotion on the street. Ada and Ran Zhi walked out. In a barbecue restaurant next door to them, several men were arguing with a female shopkeeper because they had to rush back and there was still a lot left. I wanted to return the food on the baking sheet, but the female shop owner insisted that I couldn't return it.
Seeing the people from the business department coming over, several men immediately paid and planned to leave, not wanting to ask for food.
"Wait, Sasha."
Ada walked over, and the female shopkeeper named Shasha looked very annoyed. This kind of thing happened not only once or twice, but also for the women here. They were absolutely not allowed to return the items in their shop, even though there were so many left. Food, this is actually a bit over the top.
"Ms. Ada."
Ada stopped a few men, and they immediately said they had no intention of leaving, but Ada still shouted loudly.
"I asked you to wait."
More than a dozen female staff from Section 5 gathered around. After understanding the situation, they looked at Shasha with some annoyance.
"Give it back to them, Sasha. These things are still fresh. Store them quickly or let them take them away."
Shasha spoke unconvinced, Ada nodded and looked at several men.
"Get your wallets out."
A man could only do as he was told. After Ada asked about the price, she gave the men the money for the uneaten food and then let them leave.
"Ms. Ada, I'm sorry..."
Many women talked about why they couldn't retreat. Ada nodded, glanced at the women and said.
"For a long time, the income of the shops we operate in District 29 has been getting lower and lower. Why is this? Just like these untouched foods, it is just fine to keep them. It is not convenient for the guests just now to take them back, so they naturally withdraw. Dropping is the best choice. I believe you know better than me what people outside say about our District 29."
Many women lowered their heads, and a female clerk also bluntly said that their behavior was suspected of violating sales laws.
"I will draw up a product sales description for District 29 over time."
Ada was a little helpless, and then asked Shasha to bake the food just now and take it to Yu Fangfang's shop.
"Can we finish eating?"
Ran Zhi said awkwardly, and Ada laughed.
"I'll call some people over."
After the two returned to the store, Ada was a little helpless. She had told the women in the area once or twice that they should not just think about making money through special services. They can also make money with goods, as well as catering. However, the products and catering in the entire 29th District are very unpleasant to people in the outside area.
First of all, the price will be a bit more expensive, and the taste of the food and drinks is completely unpalatable. Many customers eat here because they are too lazy to go too far after having fun here. Many of the things made by the women in the 29th District are not even sold by themselves. I can't even eat it, let alone feed it to the guests.
In addition to special services, the biggest problem here is the lack of progress in other aspects. Many of them don't pay attention at all, so the sales tax of goods in the entire 29th district is up to 1 million a month, and even less than 1 million in many cases.
A district with a permanent population of nearly 200,000 actually has only such a small amount of sales tax, which is even lower than that of several districts with slums at the bottom.
"No matter what you do, I think it will be difficult to change in the short term."
Ada naturally knows that this is for sure, but she has to continue doing these things. Some women who see hope will leave this district after completing their studies. What will happen to this district in the future? Ada dare not She thought, but what she was sure of was that the Business Department would definitely take action one day.
"I know what you are worried about. Once the city changes to a certain stage, this special service will definitely be banned."
Ran Zhi is very clear that because the special service industry has affected fertility rates and family marriages, this problem will definitely be solved in the future. There is no one-size-fits-all approach just because if we do this, many women will be unemployed.
"I have wanted to catch the light countless times, but unfortunately I have never been able to do so, but this time I think I can."
Ran Zhi hummed.
"Call someone quickly."
Ada smiled and nodded, took out the phone, and planned to call a few clerks from the district office. They were all women who used to work in the special service industry in this district. Now they are actively preparing for the exam and intend to pass the qualification of parliamentarians. In the examination, Wu Qun also returned the seat of the 29th district council member to Ada.
At this time Ran Zai walked in, stretching comfortably and smelling of alcohol, Ran Zhi asked.
"Where did the brat go?"
Ran Zai sat over, picked up the food on the table and started eating.
"There's nothing you can do about being dragged into drinking."
Ran Zai glanced at Ada, and the two of them looked at each other.
"I take back what I said before. I'm sorry. I thought you really had no achievements before."
Ada laughed.
"No matter how others evaluate me or talk about me, it doesn't matter to me anymore."
Ada really doesn't care anymore. Face is meaningless to her who has completely hit rock bottom in the past. Living with hope and accomplishing what she wants to do is Ada's current spiritual support.
"Did you get something done?"
Ran Zhi asked and Ran Zai nodded.
"We'll talk about it later. Let's drink first."
Ran Zai's running these past two days was not in vain. He asked Hydra and the others to help and got a lot of information. Indeed, he did not believe Ran Zhi's conjecture at first, but after getting more specific information, Ran Zai felt Some things are developing quietly.
"In the worst case, this mechanical and biochemical transformation plan may have to be stopped."
Ran Zhi seemed to have thought of something when he heard his grandson murmuring, but the two of them did not say anything. The clerks called by Ada all sat in. 14 people came, and the shop was crowded. Ada went again Ordered something from Shasha's store.
At this time, upstairs, Leng Rui smiled and pointed at Yu Fangfang's character, talking about some hidden elements that only he knew, so that he could get more money.
"This is not good, Xiao Leng, this doesn't mean I'm cheating."
"What are you afraid of? I'm not telling anyone else, I'm just telling you. What does it matter?"
The relationship between the two has been very good recently and they have gotten closer. Although Leng Rui has not spoken, he knows that one day he will.
"By the way, Xiao Leng, is your sister feeling better over there?"
Leng Rui hummed. His sister was still the same. He didn't know what to do. The people in Department 4 also said they would treat her slowly. Leng Rui didn't know what his sister had gone through. He hated it very much now. Those rioters.
But now Leng Rui felt that this distress message hidden on the Internet that he could understand might indeed be related to the rioters. He planned to take the time to confirm something in detail before telling Mo Xiaolan.
