Chapter 904 Focused Attention (Part 2)
The steaming soy milk and fried dough sticks were freshly baked, and the aroma spread throughout the restaurant. A waiter struggled to bring a bucket of soy milk and a box of fried dough sticks to the dining room on the third floor. More than ten tables were full of people. More than 50 members of parliament in parliamentary uniforms, men and women, were looking out the window at the subway station across the street. At this time, a large number of reporters who were allowed to interview had passed through the human wall built by the Operations Department and went to the Angus couple.
Lin Min was among them. She folded her hands and stared sharply, as if she was worried. She had a debate with Le Xiao in the Congress Hall before. At that time, she found that this girl was completely different from other high-ranking people in the Operations Department. She was more like an ignorant girl who could be seen everywhere on the streets of the lower class.
Lin Min showed a somewhat bitter smile at the corner of her mouth. Among the 60 lower-level districts, there were 600 members of parliament, two-thirds of whom relied on the middle and upper-level members and belonged to different factions.
The councillors gathered in the room are all non-factional councillors, and Lin Min is even more so. She was originally a representative of the 113th district councillor, but after the joint riots in 113 and 114, Lin Min had nothing. Fortunately, the term of a councillor in the 108th district had expired. In desperation, she asked for help from a former friend, the middle-level councillor Elena.
In the end, Elena's faction accepted her, and soon Lin Min went to the 109th district to succeed, but everything could only be done according to orders. In the last hearing in the Congress Hall, she was the first to be thrown out, and the people behind wanted to see Le Xiao's attitude, or to test the attitude of the Operations Department.
Although the last thing was somewhat bumpy, it was still completed, and Elena was satisfied. After this incident, Lin Min rarely participated in the gatherings of their faction councillors because she felt uncomfortable.
The reason why she chose to become a councillor was because Lin Min was also born in a slum. She had witnessed countless turmoil at the bottom. She wanted to change the situation at the bottom, but the reality was helpless and desperate. She had tried countless times, and had shouted and fought for everything in the neighborhood, but she had no power.
Lin Min looked around, and many of the councillors in the room hoped to come here through Le Xiao, get along well with her, and get something from Le Xiao. These councillors came from many districts at the bottom. Non-factional councillors were usually the mouthpieces of factional councillors or tools for certain periods of time, or more like a parliamentary vote. They received some financial assistance from factional councillors, and most people relied on this money to maintain their votes as councillors.
Once the general election began, these people would give some benefits to some people in the area, and they would naturally vote for these people.
Lin Min also spent such days. She once wanted to lift up some like-minded friends to realize reforms in the area, but she gave up many years ago, but now Lin Min's heart is hot.
"Hello, Miss Lin Min!"
A square-faced young man, Fei Xin, who was serving as a congressman for the first time, greeted Le Xiao in the congress hall before and talked about some things like the environment of the lower class. After that, he went to Le Xiao's place and waited for many days, but did not see Le Xiao.
"Can I sit next to you?"
Fei Xin brought two bowls of soy milk, a plate of fried dough sticks, and a box of sugar. Lin Min nodded. After sitting down, Fei Xin looked at the screen where the Angus couple were answering questions from reporters.
"The reason why my husband and I came here is to congratulate Secretary Le Xiao on her return to her hometown to carry out the congressional bill. This is also her first time to implement the bill. Our family has also said before that we are willing to support the establishment of the Barrier Zone Agricultural Experimental Base in Secretary Le Xiao's hands. We came here today in the hope of talking to Secretary Le Xiao about this issue when she is free."
"Miss Violet, there are rumors that the Angus family will invest in the lower class to a certain extent. Is it true or false?"
Violet smiled and shook her head.
"Our family doesn't want to make a large investment in the bottom layer."
At this time, there was a commotion behind him. A man wearing a white suit, holding a cigar, with a bloated figure, a big back hair, a dragon-shaped earring on his left ear, a big nose, a full forehead and a high hairline came up, followed by many people in formal clothes.
"Hey, isn't this Avano? What a coincidence."
The man glanced at Avano as soon as he came up, but didn't dare to look at Violet.
Avano walked over and shook hands with the man enthusiastically. Many people behind him greeted Avano. All of them had different camera patterns on their right arms. They were from the Film Association. Most of them were the bosses and some responsible persons of the film companies. The man in the lead was the chairman of Jiangshi Film Group, Jiang Hao, the head of the Jiang family, one of the eight major families in the city. He was a classmate and friend of Avano, but the two had not spoken to each other for a long time.
Violet stared at Jiang Hao coldly, walked over and grabbed Avano and was about to leave. Jiang Hao nodded and smiled hurriedly. Violet turned around and walked away. Some reporters followed him, and some reporters began to surround Jiang Hao, and the crowd began to separate.
There were also many people who showed up, all of them were some celebrities from the upper class, including some stars. Jiang Hao was still talking in front of the camera.
"We came here mainly to discuss the construction proposal of the cinema while Her Excellency Le Xiao was free. After all, she is a busy person and has no time to talk about these things recently."
"Mr. Jiang Hao, there are rumors that you are planning to make some small-budget movies, and these movies are too explicit..."
Jiang Hao's face immediately turned unhappy and he stared at the reporter who asked the question. He had already started to curse in his heart.
Which guy who doesn't know how to live or die? Dare to spread the news!
"Okay, we plan to go to the reserved place in advance. Please forgive us."
Jiang Hao said and walked quickly with his people.
Lin Min and Fei Xin, who were sitting on the third floor of the restaurant opposite, quietly watched the people pouring out of the subway station.
"Wow, my head hurts so much, but it's okay. It smells so good that I want to eat soy milk!"
Accompanied by a burst of exclamations, a beautiful and cute girl in a light blue skirt came out of the subway station, followed by Wu Qun and Xingyuan. For a while, the crowd began to stir again. Some reporters were about to approach, and immediately three directors of Section 1 directly rejected their interview requests.
Many people were puzzled because they had never seen this little girl before. The people around this little girl were the leader of the parliamentarian faction, the famous writer Xingyuan, and the director guard of Section 1. It was a very strange and puzzling combination.
"I didn't expect Wu Qun to come too."
Fei Xin said, and Lin Min nodded.
"Your term is about to end in two months. Do you plan to make a final effort?"
Lin Min said with a smile, and Fei Xin hummed.
"Although I only talked to Secretary Le Xiao for a few words, I always feel that I can talk to her about the problem of the ground floor environment."
It was already past 7 o'clock, and the sun's rays had only spread to the ground floor at this time. The street lights on the street began to go out one by one.
At this time, there was a commotion downstairs. The little girl entered the store. The entire 118th District began to become more and more popular with the continuous outflow of people from the subway station.
"It's over, I overslept."
After Le Xiao finished washing up in Michelle's office, she hurriedly turned on the light and shadow screen. The time was almost up, and she had to go to make up.
"Forget it, no need to look at it. You can say whatever you want. After all, you should know District 118 very well."
Michelle said, and Le Xiao's face immediately relaxed.
"Of course, Mr. Secretary General, I grew up there, and..."
Alpha dragged Le Xiao out of the office. Michelle frowned slightly. The makeup artist was waiting at the door. Le Xiao was immediately taken to a room that had been prepared for a long time. She sat on a chair and started to make up. She felt a little complicated at this time.
It's just a trip home. Is it necessary to do this?
Alpha watched the news quietly. From the look of Le Xiao, she probably didn't know that District 118 was as popular as the festival at the end of the year. All kinds of people flocked to District 118, and things became more complicated.
There are still many people who want to enter District 118, but dozens of minutes ago, Section 3 had blocked the entrance. Now there are more than 300,000 people in District 118.
Alpha pressed her forehead with one hand. After seeing her parents and the people from the film company, she looked at Le Xiao again.
The day after tomorrow, Le Xiao will go to the mutant exam site to serve as an examiner. Originally, Michelle planned to tell Le Xiao something in person tomorrow, but it seems that time may not allow it. Michelle asked Alpha to watch the whole process directly and find time to tell Le Xiao, and go directly to the mutant exam site the day after tomorrow morning.
"This is the only way now."
Alpha felt a little tired, inexplicably tired. At this time, Michelle came out and handed him a bottle of energy supplement.
"Drinking a little will make you more awake."
After Alpha said thank you, Michelle walked quickly to Locke's office.
Alpha unscrewed the bottle and quickly drank the whole bottle. The taste was a bit complicated, but not bad. She smiled and looked at Michelle who pushed the door of Locke's office rudely.
"Mr. General Manager, can you please get up?"
Locke groaned and climbed up with difficulty. He walked out of the light and shadow compartment first. His wife was still sleeping soundly. He sat on the sofa in red and blue spotted pajamas with a painful expression.
"You'll feel better if you drink it."
Pah
Michelle passed a bottle of energy supplement over to him. After Locke drank it bitterly, he looked bewildered.
"You go to sleep until 10 o'clock, Michelle. I will do my next work well."
Michelle shook her head.
"Area 79 has sent a lot of information to the General Affairs Department, and we need to review it."
Locke woke up and stood up with sharp eyes.
"How many people are there in Area 118?"
"It's more than 300,000, and the viewing range has almost covered the entire city."
Locke hummed.
"That's good. I just hope that the little girl can bear it."
"It's not up to her whether she wants to or not!"
"Except for the three-day New Year's Eve celebration at the end of the year, the city hasn't had such a sensation for many years."
Tang Rao exhaled a puff of smoke slowly. Witt and Li Chu beside him nodded one after another. The three of them walked down a winding path. The two planned to accompany Tang Rao to pay tribute today.
Tang Rao looked a little bitter. The three of them were watching the live broadcast of Area 118.
"Everyone's attention has been drawn to it. Isn't this good? What happened last night is no longer worth mentioning."
Tang Rao chuckled.
"Why didn't that bastard Jean go?"
Werther shook his head.
"That idiot should be sunning himself on top of some building right now."
"I have already told the section chiefs to briefly explain what happened in Area 79 last night as soon as possible. However, that guy Le Wen has appeared recently. Do you want to capture him first? After all, he should already have a lot of good things in his hands. The result is right, otherwise he would not dare to show up so blatantly. "
As Li Chu said this, Tang Rao and Werther both stopped and looked at him.
"You guy, at least wait until Jean leaves. Besides, his daughter is now the secretary of Section 13. Sooner or later he will hand it over voluntarily. After all, which father in the world is unwilling to support his daughter's work?"
Witte said and Li Chu nodded.
"That's right, it depends on when he and his daughter recognize each other. I'll ask that boy King Xue to formulate a countermeasure first, in case the father and daughter recognize each other one day. After all, that stupid girl's father is a criminal, and he must be punished. Only if his identity as a criminal is cleared."
Tang Rao laughed and walked quickly.
"Do you really think it's laundry detergent? Just wash it. How much harm those reformers who rioted from Bincai Company caused to the city back then have been completely exposed to the public. This matter will temporarily let King Xue know Let me take care of it, I'll feel more at ease."
Located on the top floor of No. 1 Phoebes Resort Hotel Manor, Gene sat comfortably on the roof, holding a cigarette in one hand and pressing it on his left knee, looking northwest at the rooftop entrance behind him. Chu Ranzai walked up yawning.
"Are you really not going to go? Mr. Jean, that's..."
"Can you tell me why you helped Le Wen back then?"
Ran Zai scratched his head and sat over.
"Good people are rewarded, Mr. Jean. I often think about this question. What would have been the consequences if I had chosen to turn a blind eye?"
"Lewen is probably dead or controlled by the rioters, or he may still be in an underground prison."
Ran Zai hummed.
"Do you remember that after my grandfather was arrested, I used to hide from you on the street for a while?"
Gene nodded.
"Why run away?"
Ran Zai asked with an evil smile.
"Why can't you run away?"
"Have you found a way out?"
Ran Zai nodded.
"I remember it was a bit cold that day. I was cold and hungry. I had been hungry for a long time. I was thinking that it would be better to end this meaningless life as soon as possible. After all, no one passed by on the street stopped. , after all, this is how the world is, but maybe it was my survival instinct that made me not want to find a place to die silently. I only remember that the uncle put down a can of liquid food at that time, and said that the only thing that could help me was this meal. "If I feel full and strong, I will go to the nearby orphanage. The director there is nice."
Gene laughed and blew out a puff of smoke.
"Is it really just because of this?"
"Mr. Jean, many things in this world are so careless. If you have been immersed in darkness for too long, as long as there is a glimmer of light, no matter who you are, you will want to catch it. Isn't that the same for you!"
Gene stood up, and a gust of breeze blew violently on his face. He raised his head slightly, and the golden sunlight hit the side of his face.
“Would you like seafood for breakfast?”
"No! It's better to eat liquid food."
Ran Zai took out two cans of liquid food from his pocket and threw them to Jean. After Jean caught them, the two opened the cans and started eating...
