Chapter 1: Beginning. Stagnant Time (Part 1) (Plot Continues From Chapter 1075)

10pm

Le Xiao dragged her exhausted body back to Gene's home. She felt like she was about to die. The other people from Section 13 were still in Area 29.

Le Xiao took off her uniform when she got home and lay face down on the sofa. After a while, she couldn't hold it anymore and got up quickly, breathing heavily.

"Really, it won't hurt to help others."

Le Xiao walked out of Michelle's office and called Gene for help. At this time, Le Xiao felt overwhelmed. A mountain of work had already been put on her.

She didn't know how many brains those section chiefs' secretaries had. So many things could be handled easily, but Le Xiao couldn't. Her mind seemed to be a mess. When she thought about something, Le Xiao felt that her head was about to explode.

"What should I do? What should I do?"

A few minutes later, Le Xiao got up and paced around the coffee table, anxious like an ant on a hot pot.

What she said could not be taken back. Le Xiao was very uncomfortable. Now the only person she could discuss with was Gu Ningning. Le Xiao hurriedly took her mobile phone.

"Ningning, help me, my head is about to..."

"Le Le, you can do it yourself, I haven't slept for three days and three nights."

After the phone was hung up, Le Xiao was petrified on the spot, and soon a dense sweat oozed out of his forehead.

"What should I do?"

It was still those three words, Le Xiao felt that he was about to finish.

The matter of the 10-department experimental store on the ground floor, and the arrangement of the activities of the 10 districts on the ground floor, these ten districts are exactly from District 111 to District 120.

And the construction proposal of the cinema on the ground floor, including the current trade and cooperation proposal on the ground floor, all have been thrown to Le Xiao alone.

"What should I do!"

Le Xiao grinned slightly, then directly tore off all his clothes, and walked into the bathroom with a silly smile. After a while, Le Xiao felt much fresher, humming the pig dance music and walked to the refrigerator, and took out a mustard-flavored popsicle from it.

"That's the taste."

Le Xiao pinched her nose, tears falling from her eyes. The spicy mustard popsicle made Le Xiao's drowsy brain feel like spring breeze, and those twisted things disappeared.

After a while, Le Xiao was panting, blushing and sitting comfortably on the sofa. It was still early, so Le Xiao turned on the light and shadow screen and clicked on the CBV movie station.

A movie called "Skull" was clearly visible. The poster was a skeleton in a dark environment with white light reflecting on it.

The horror index reached 8.5. Le Xiao excitedly clicked it and unlocked the movie directly. Le Xiao couldn't help but sigh at the beauty of being a privileged class now.

With an uneasy mood, Le Xiao swallowed a mouthful and read some non-film review comments first. They all said that this was the director's best work so far, and he had already decided to shoot the second one.

The director of this movie was the director who had directed "The Phantom of the Castle" in the past. Le Xiao thought that the movie was quite interesting, scary and interesting at the same time.

Le Xiao felt a chill on her spine before she even read the story. She swallowed a mouthful of the comments, but the enticing horror and suspense introduction in the story synopsis made her stand up straight.

"It's best to have something to eat at this time."

Le Xiao walked to the refrigerator, opened it and looked at it for a while, then opened her mobile phone. There was no money in her account, but she immediately took out the vault of Section 13.

Michelle's somewhat agitated voice became blurred, and Le Xiao smiled.

"It's okay. When I pass the formal clerk exam, the section officer exam, and the secretary exam, I will change all the debts in a short time."

Le Xiao opened the takeaway system, searched for half an hour, and ordered the barbecue she liked, as well as some cool drinks, for a total of 31 yuan.

With an uneasy mood, Le Xiao opened the movie called "Skeleton".

The opening is a cape under the gloomy sky. A man turned his back to the camera, seemed to be looking at something, and the man began a monologue.

Amid the sound of the waves, accompanied by the slow camera, the melancholy profile of the man, and the low music that sounded like someone whispering in the dark, Le Xiao clasped her big toes.

She kept swallowing, but at this moment, the camera began to enter the damp cave under the cape. Le Xiao swallowed, and at this moment a hand pressed on Le Xiao's shoulder.

Wow

Le Xiao screamed in horror, and had jumped three feet high, so scared that she held back tears. She swallowed with a pale face, and just as she turned her head, a hand pressed on her forehead. It turned out to be Ellie.

"Really, why don't you reincarnate? Why do you always follow me? Do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"

Ellie smiled at Le Xiao, who was sweating profusely, and then said faintly.

"I have many unfulfilled wishes, and I will pester you for the rest of my life."

Le Xiao was so angry that the good atmosphere was destroyed. At this time, there were bursts of knocks on the door.

Le Xiao snorted coldly, and Ellie's giggle turned into spots of light and dissipated. Le Xiao stuck out her tongue and made a face.

"You always scare me like this, really, my heart almost stopped just now."

But Le Xiao immediately got rid of the terrifying atmosphere and opened the door happily. The next second, Le Xiao returned to the extremely terrifying atmosphere again. She felt that her hair was about to stand up by the current running up from the soles of her feet.

Michelle, who was standing at the door, looked at Le Xiao with a serious expression. Le Xiao's mind was blank at this time. She didn't know why Michelle came to her house.

"What are you doing."

Michelle asked in a cold tone. Le Xiao straightened up and bowed, but the next second Michelle had already come in, and Le Xiao remembered that a horror movie was still playing on the light and shadow screen. She hurried over to explain, Michelle has turned off the light and shadow screen.

"Secretary Le Xiao, please abide by the rules of the business department."

Le Xiao blushed in embarrassment, sweat bursting out on her back. This tigress was so scary every time she appeared. After experiencing two frightening scares tonight, Le Xiao felt as if there was something wrong with her heart.

"Secretary-General, this, that..."

"According to the regulations of the executive branch, department officials of director level or above are not allowed to order takeout, because the takeout may be poisoned on the way to delivery."

Le Xiao's eyes widened immediately, seeing that the money she had just paid had been returned. She lowered her head, but her expression was slightly stubborn.

Isn’t it just a takeaway?

Michelle originally wanted to go home. The work she had to do tonight had already been done last night. She had arranged some work for tomorrow. But when she thought about the big burden of Lexiao, Michelle planned to live in Lexiao. place and personally coached her to complete some proposals.

But she didn't expect that Le Xiao was actually watching a horror movie and ordered takeout. She looked like she planned to eat while watching the movie and then go to sleep. Michelle was too lazy to get angry with her.

"Pull out your recent bills, and I will tell you personally how to complete a report."

Although Le Xiao was reluctant, she still did as she was told, but at this time her stomach growled, and Michelle sighed.

"I've already told the General Affairs Department Canteen and they will send someone to deliver it later."

Le Xiao looked at Michelle excitedly, but Michelle already had a serious expression at this time.

Le Xiao hurriedly put away her smile and sat down quietly, but her stomach still growled unsatisfactorily.

Michelle relaxed her expression.

"We'll start after you finish eating."

Le Xiaohan smiled, and Michelle easily sat on the sofa beside her. She had been to this room countless times in the past, and every time she came here, she and Jean would deal with something together. Michelle couldn't be more familiar with everything here. .

It's just that there is a different atmosphere in this room now. The room looks a bit messy, but there is some relaxation in this mess.

Now Michelle somewhat understands why Jean pushed such a stupid girl up.

The city has indeed changed because of her existence. Nowadays, many people at the bottom are talking about Le Xiao, the secretary of Section 13.

In particular, Le Xiao's willingness to listen to some of the demands of ordinary people and small individual businessmen has been recognized by most people.

This was a rare thing in the past. The entire city, whether it was the lower, middle or upper class, was discussing the affairs of one person. Because of Le Xiao's series of actions, the entire lifeless city was stirred up.

dong dong dong

There was a knock on the door, and Le Xiao hurriedly ran over. As soon as she opened the door, she saw a bunch of people standing at the door. A short and fat man hurriedly took out his light and shadow business card.

"Master Le Xiao, I am the person in charge of Strange Company."

Le Xiao blinked in confusion, and then a mutant bodyguard next to him brought over a box of Strange Company's latest products.

This immediately aroused Le Xiao's interest. A group of people at the door nodded and bowed, hoping to invite Le Xiao to the store on Qinglong Street. But at this time, the expressions of a group of people seemed to be frozen because they saw Michelle.

"I still have something to do, I'll fix it some other time."

Michelle coughed, and Lexiao took the other person's box, then closed the door. Under Michelle's gaze, he opened the box and immediately started rummaging around for various popsicles and snacks with strange flavors. .

Michelle's expression became serious.

"Secretary Le Xiao, if you accept gifts from businessmen in front of me, you have committed the crime of accepting bribes."

Le Xiao was startled, then smiled awkwardly and took out a bag of stinky tofu-flavored potato chips.

"This, that, I..."

Michelle pressed her forehead. She didn't know what was wrong with this girl and her taste was so strange. At this time, people from the canteen of the General Affairs Department also delivered prepared meals, and more than ten people came with a set of kitchen utensils.

"Uncle Zhang, why did you come directly?"

"Oh, Mr. Le Xiao, you don't know that some things have to be ready-made to taste, so we brought all the tools."

This is the boss of the canteen of the General Affairs Department. He has been working for almost 30 years. A group of chefs immediately bowed and saluted after seeing Michelle.

"Ms. Michelle is here too. Would you like to try our sizzling dishes? It's very delicious."

Michelle refused. It was obvious that Le Xiao had a good relationship with these chefs. They were all talking and laughing, and there was no distinction between superior and inferior chefs.

"If you are hungry at night from now on, just call me and I will have someone prepare it for you, Master Le Xiao."

Le Xiao looked at Michelle awkwardly. She would indeed eat at the General Affairs Department whenever she had the chance. After all, the food there was delicious and plentiful, and the most important thing was that it didn't cost a penny.

Michelle didn't want to say anything anymore. It was already 11:20 when Le Xiao finished eating and drinking.

Then the work officially started. Michelle first called up the mechanical ball experiment proposal in area 108 where Le Xiao was located at the bottom. The current situation is that the mechanical ball has collected a lot of data, but these data have not been sorted out. It doesn't look like it is Made by Le Xiao.

Michelle gave detailed instructions, and Le Xiao listened and took notes.

However, time passed by, until 1 a.m., Le Xiao suddenly fell forward and fell asleep. Michelle held her with one hand and lifted her to the bedroom with telekinesis.

After a while, Michelle left and returned to the General Affairs Department again, planning to rest in the General Affairs Department tonight.

After all, Gene will have a battle with Alpha early tomorrow morning. This battle is very important, and the section chief and secretary will go.

In Michelle's eyes, this master and apprentice are really great. She has watched them since she was very young. However, after the Hillman family incident, the whole city fell into an unprecedented difficult situation.

And from the beginning, Alpha laid the foundation for the Operations Department, which has gradually stabilized the city over the past few decades.

Especially after knowing Gene's identity, Michelle felt that everything that happened in the past was very meaningful.

Just as he was thinking, a loud laugh rang out. Niya and Tianhen came in. As soon as they came in, they sat at the food counter with some directors. Michelle bowed slightly, and Niya came over and hooked Michelle.

"Don't you want to eat something together?"

Michelle refused again. She planned to go back to deal with some documents and go to bed.

Watching Michelle leaving, Niya took Tianhen to Locke's private rest area. After the two went in, they robbed Locke's drunkard and planned to have a drink in the General Affairs Department and wait until dawn.

"My sister should have become stronger over the years."

Niya muttered after sitting down. Tianhen didn't know what Niya meant by strong, although he had heard that Alpha was very strong in the past, but Tianhen had never seen it.

Niya smiled a little melancholy, tilted her head and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

"It's finally about to start. It's been stagnant for too long, Alpha!"

2:09 a.m.

Alpha sat quietly beside the construction site of the new learning house in District 29, holding a bottle of wine, with deep eyes and a complicated expression. She took a sip of wine from time to time, but there was no sign of drunkenness on her face.

Quasimodo sat quietly beside him.

"It will start soon."

Alpha said, Quasimodo nodded, and Alpha's expression became terrible at this time.

Alpha raised his fist, and the black particles began to stretch at this time, turning into black lightning.

"I won't leave any room for Quasimodo."

Quasimodo nodded slightly, Alpha stood up, drank the wine in the bottle in one gulp, and suddenly let go of his hand. The other hand had already clenched into a fist and hit it, but Alpha did not hit the bottle.

Creaky

Accompanied by a violent and harsh sound, the space in front of him was distorted. The bottle was directly distorted in front of the distorted space. After the distortion disappeared, the flying ashes of the business were scattered in the wind to the distance.

"You... are stronger."

Quasimodo muttered, and Alpha sneered, his expression becoming evil.

"Yes, I am stronger, Mr. Gene!"
