Chapter 695: Appointment (Part 1)

At 4 pm, in District 18

There are houses with independent entrances and front and back yards, all with the same architectural pattern, three-story duplex buildings, and a large balcony on the third floor. The walls of each house are more or less planted with climbing plants. However, at this time, in the entire block, except for some women gathered on the balcony to brag and chat, there is no man to be seen.

There are signs at every intersection. This is the residence of officials above level 3 in the Operations Department. There are nearly 10,000 houses, occupying most of the district. At this time, the people in the Operations Department are busy, so there are almost no people in the block. Only the wives of each household gather to have some degree of entertainment activities.

"Who are you looking for?"

"The former head of the 5th Public Security Management Department!"

Ran Zai looked at Gene with some doubts and blurted out immediately.

"Tamayi?"

Gene smiled and nodded.

"It seems that you know very well!"

Ran Zai said with a pout.

"Currently, Niya is the fourth chief of Section 5, and the third chief retired due to illness. The first chief is in your Section 13. After thinking about it, only Tamayi can be the next one."

The two continued to walk in this long corridor. Gene glanced at the road sign on the right in front of him, 16-3. He stared quietly at a house in the distance. People from Section 1 were standing at the door.

"Whose wife is this? There is actually someone guarding the door. It's really a high-standard treatment!"

"Jewell!"

Gene said and continued to walk, and Ran Zai's eyes widened.

"Is it the cannon king of the Operations Department?"

Gene smiled helplessly and continued to walk quickly. Ran Zai continued to stare blankly for a while. Sure enough, the members of the Operations Department at the door also noticed him. Someone immediately started to open the light and shadow screen to confirm Ran Zai's identity, but after seeing that Ran Zai came with Gene, the members of Section 1 who wanted to come over to ask continued to stand at the door.

"It's really surprising that Jewell can get married. I think if this matter is made public, it will probably be more sensational than what happened today!"

"I think so too!"

Gene smiled and quickened his pace, and Ran Zai followed.

"I remember that the third section chief resigned because of the problems caused by my grandfather more than 30 years ago."

Gene nodded, and Ran Zai looked around. Many women were drinking tea alone on the balcony. After seeing them, they looked over in confusion. After seeing that it was Gene, they immediately stretched their heads to look happily.

Speaking of Tamayi, Ran Zai still remembered that his grandfather had taken him to find that guy before. In his impression, he was an absolute rotten man. The corruption in Section 5 was very serious more than 30 years ago, and it was getting worse.

The reason why his grandfather was able to gain a foothold had a lot to do with Tamayi. In the past, the Operations Section had higher welfare benefits than now, but people were not satisfied. If they could make money, anyone would be tempted to some extent.

But after the triangular area from the southeast to the south near the southwest was cleared, the administrative department began to reform, directly cutting off the welfare and giving monthly construction funds to the department according to the economic conditions of each district. Part of it was used for equipment purchases, public subsidies and miscellaneous expenses of each administrative department in each district, and part of it was directly included in the welfare benefits by the section chief.

After that, there was an investment and construction fund for each department. This item allowed the managers of each department to find ways to raise welfare security funds, but they must comply with regulations. It is no longer possible to give conveniences as in the past. If the giver does not meet the qualifications, there is no place to give money.

Many people in the administrative department have fallen on this. As the system becomes more and more perfect, now as long as businessmen win some urban construction proposals initiated by the administrative department, they will definitely give part of the construction funds. This depends on the means of the section chiefs of each department.

With the gradual change, the past corruption has become legitimate. The most critical thing is to directly cut the welfare benefits of the members of the Operation Section, and only give the most basic welfare deposit. After that, the welfare deposit is increased by ability and skill.

The whole process lasted for nearly 10 years. The period from 30 years ago to 20 years ago was particularly chaotic. Ran Zai was very clear about all this. Although his grandfather fell, the grassroots forces of all sizes have emerged.

The 5th Section has always been weak in its crackdown on crime, and the 5th Section has always been unqualified and incompetent in the eyes of the people. Until the woman Niya who shines like a comet appeared, the atmosphere of the 5th Section began to change.

Ran Zai still clearly remembers some reports from more than 20 years ago, which can be regarded as a booster for some people, because there is a crazy woman fighting crime at the grassroots level, and she will never show mercy. The people she offended ranged from congressmen, big businessmen, to the forces of some gangs.

At first, there was a flood of criticism, questioning the legitimacy and purpose of Niya's actions. There were even rumors that she dared to do such a thing because her family was already soaring.

But all the rumors were shattered by Niya's tough measures. Ran Zai knew it best. The rumors against the 5th Department that began this morning were shattered because the woman had really been fighting crime every day since 30 years ago.

At this time, Gene stopped and walked over to the left entrance of 23-10. When he turned around, Ran Zai smelled the smell of barbecue.

At No. 2398, Gene stopped and pressed the doorbell. Ran Zai looked through the iron gate and saw a man doing barbecue under a big tree on the right side of the yard. He was wearing a waistcoat, casual pants, slippers, and other items. He has long broken hair and an unkempt beard that has not been trimmed for many days. His cheeks are wide and full, and his figure is very tall. He is about 2 meters tall, about the same as Jean. The look on his face looks very comfortable, and he is shaking the sauce, as if Didn't hear the doorbell.

Jean jumped in directly, and Ran Zai looked around helplessly before jumping in too.

"Hey, why is Mr. Jean here free?"

Tamai turned his head, and at this moment he noticed Ran Zai, and the relaxed look on his face immediately disappeared.

"Long time no see, young man, you have grown so big!"

Ran Zai just smiled and said nothing. He and his grandfather had been to Tamayi's house before, but not here. He still remembered that this man had fun with two women outdoors in broad daylight. His grandfather even gave him several women as gifts. .

"I came to see you for something, Tamai."

Tamai nodded, took down the barbecue from the grill, invited Jean and Ran Zai to sit over, then turned around and entered the house, taking out a whole box of cold beer.

"Can I stop drinking?"

Ran Zai asked, and Gene turned his head. He could only stand up and take a bottle.

"I have been dismissed, Mr. Jean. If you want me to help you, there may be some problems!"

Ran Zai took a sip of cold beer, and his sleepy body immediately regained its energy. He looked at Tamai in confusion. This was the first time he had heard of such a thing. There were only six people who had the ability to dismiss section chiefs. God.

"Help me select some capable mutants, and then go out with me for a run in November!"

Gene said, and Tamai's eyes widened in shock.

"I am serious about such a big thing"

"I believe in your vision, your ability to do things, and your trading skills."

Tamai lowered his head and sighed in embarrassment.

"Mr. Jean, I am alive now because of your mercy. Otherwise, I would have starved to death on the streets."

Tamai now lives on a sum of money regularly distributed by the Congress. He is not allowed to engage in any business activities or work part-time. He must report to Section 5 regularly every month and accept questioning.

"It's really miserable!"

Ran Zai smiled and murmured, thinking about how Tamayi spent money like water in the past, but now I am afraid that life will not be easy in his old age.

"It wasn't your grandpa who did it. Young man, if your grandpa hadn't been greedy, he wouldn't have caused such a big fuss. He actually wanted to establish a country in the city, haha!"

Ran Zai waved his hand helplessly.

"You should talk about this to my grandfather who has half his foot in the coffin. It has nothing to do with me!"

"I can give you a special temporary appointment as a member of Section 13, which is limited to the completion of the work I asked you to do. I will also give you 10 million as funds. I need at least 8 mutants to form a team outside the barrier. The action team can provide you with the condition that you don’t need to pay taxes until you die.”

Tamai nodded.

"You might not be able to come back if you go out."

Ran Zai nodded.

"It's better that you prepare more. I'll take you to Section 10 when I have time."

"Hey Mr. Jean, don't joke with me, you really want me to follow you!"

Ran Zai choked on the beer in his throat and beat his chest.

"The world is very vast. Wouldn't it be nice to take you out to see it?"

"I'd rather stay at home and play games! The world in games is so vast, isn't it!"

Gene put a hand on Ran Zai's forehead and pressed on the scar. Ran Zai immediately squatted on the ground holding his head.

Tamai's expression was a little solemn and seemed a little tangled. He lowered his head and was still thinking about something.

"Mr. Jean, do you really want my help? You are not afraid that I will get in trouble."

"If you dare to do this, I promise to push your head into the mud!"

Tamai laughed heartily.

"I heard that Wise Man and Sister Alpha have both come out. I would like to get together with the three of them when I have time. After all, one is the bastard who put me in this situation, and the other is the benefactor who lifted me up with one hand. !”

Ran Zai glanced back at the sky behind him, with a hint of solemnity on his expression. He knew very well what was going on outside the barrier. Although Congress blocked most of the information, he still obtained a lot of information.
