Chapter 227 The Night Before Departure (Part 1)

"Gene, this is called mousse, right?"

Jamie was holding the fruit mousse in his hand. This was a product recently launched by a store on the upper floor. As the previous fruit trees began to be gradually put on the market, fruits are no longer luxury goods, but can only be regarded as popular commodities.

It was just 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The temperature on the upper floor was the highest in the day. This cool and refreshing sweetness made Jamie very happy. After returning from the school experience these days, Jamie followed Gene to walk around the city, learning something new every day, and then memorizing some inherent nouns.

"Well, Jamie, what else do you want to eat?"

Gene asked, Jamie smiled and put the last bite of mousse into his mouth, shaking his head with satisfaction.

"That's enough, Gene, take me around and tell me some stories."

Jamie's favorite thing is to listen to Gene tell some stories. These stories seem very fresh and exciting to Jamie. Many of them, even if they are made up by Gene, can make Jamie happy.

Gene took care of this child because he found the same characteristics as Le Xiao in him. He could be greatly satisfied with simple things and did not want to ask for too much. This was very good in Gene's opinion.

In the past few days of school experience, Jamie also found that everyone wanted to please him, which was a little difficult for Jamie to adapt to. Whether it was classmates or teachers, as long as he had a little need or doubt, they would help as much as possible, but Jamie hated this feeling a little.

"Gene, why are you so nice to me? I'm not a powerful person."

Gene smiled and said.

"This is human society, because your guardian is the person with the highest power in the city."

"That is Sister Le Xiao's power, not mine."

Although Jamie's words were correct, this is human society. In human society, having power and money is always what humans yearn for the most.

"Then you should do everything seriously and become someone worthy of their kindness."

Jamie looked at Gene in astonishment.

"Yes, Gene. How did it become like this?"

"You remember, isn't there a kangaroo named Fredo?"

Jamie hummed, his eyes full of expectation. Gene looked at Jamie. He was going to see the child again. He didn't know how long this journey would take.

Because Jamie suddenly appeared, Guy and Witt would go together on this journey. They would go directly to the kangaroo country halfway to conduct a detailed and complete investigation.

And Gene would go alone to the country across the sea that was once the world's number one. Although it is still impossible to confirm whether there are still people on that land, from some of the things Jamie said, perhaps there is still civilization on that land.

And as long as the civilization can survive, the technology must be advanced. Jamie said one thing. In the past, they had moved some crops to a ship on the seaside. According to what Jamie said, the kangaroo country has no overseas territories, so from this point, Gene concluded that these food crops were transported to other countries.

So according to Jamie's words, it can be inferred that there should be a highly developed civilization on that land. Although they did not reveal other countries on the planet during the talks with the Sky Space Kingdom, many people keenly discovered one thing from the talks.

Brilliant City is not the only option for Asgard trade. This makes Gene and others sure that there are other countries on this planet, and they are countries other than the Kangaroo Kingdom.

Jamie looked at those novel and interesting things along the way. There are too many things that he needs to digest and absorb in this society in the future.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the middle level to make some money. I have to go to the headquarters of Section 5."

As Gene said, Jamie ran quickly to the alley. Gene had already arrived in the alley. Jamie lay on Gene's back, and then Gene jumped directly onto a building. Jamie cheered excitedly. This feeling is incomparably refreshing no matter how many times it happens.

The wind whistled past Jamie's ears, and the heat began to disappear because of the constant rapid movement. Soon Gene brought Jamie to Rose's shop, which was still crowded.

"Wait for me in Rose's shop."

Jamie nodded and walked in, waving his hand to greet.

"Rose, I'm here. Gene told me to wait here for a while."

Rose, who was processing some desserts at the bar, glanced at Jamie, then put the desserts on a plate and handed it to Jamie.

"Send it to table 9."

Jamie picked up the plate and looked around. He silently recited the numbers. Rose looked at the child with interest. Although she had already come into contact with him in Section 10, Rose always felt that this child was a little bit special.

Finally Jamie found table 9.

"Hello, this is table 9, right?"

Several women were stunned for a moment, then laughed, and one of them said.

"Little brother, how old are you? Can't you see such an obvious number?"

Jamie smiled awkwardly, put down his things and returned to the bar.

"What else do you want to send? If it's less than 20, Owen can still remember it clearly."

Rose hummed.

"This time, send it to No. 19, outside."

Rose initially disagreed with Jean's approach of letting the child come to the city. She originally planned to have Section 10 arrange personnel to teach the child, but Jean planned to let Le Xiao be the child's guardian, and then also let him He goes to school.

Soon Jamie was back.

"Any more?"

"No more for now. Come to the back kitchen and I'll teach you how to make noodles."

Jamie walked in and looked at everything in the kitchen with curiosity. Rose raised her hand and the orange sample was slowly released. Soon the flour and water were automatically placed on the workbench. Rose checked around He put down the desserts that were still being baked, and then began to teach Jamie step by step how to make dough.

Rose asked as Jamie studied very seriously.

"Is there anything you want?"

Jamie looked at Rose confused.

"It's already good, I don't need anything else."

Rose laughed.

"You seem to be easily satisfied."

Jamie smiled and shook his head.

"Fredo taught me that I must be in moderation, because he said moderation is the most difficult thing in the world."

Rose hummed.

At this time, Gene had arrived in Niya's office.

"Hurry up and help me deal with things."

Niya said angrily. There were three light and shadow screens in front of her, and many things were still queued up for her to handle. Gene smiled, rolled up his sleeves, sat over, and began to help Niya handle some internal affairs. .

In just half an hour, Niya lay comfortably on the chair, and then lit a cigarette. The matter was almost settled. She didn't know what Jean was going to do when he came over today. If she handled it alone, at least until It won't be processed until after 5 o'clock.

"Tell me, what are you doing here, mother?"

Jean said after thinking for a moment.

"I hope you can help take care of the child after I leave."

"Is that the kid from outside?"

Gene nodded and Niya asked in confusion.

"Is there anything special about him that deserves your attention?"

"That's right. After a while, after his physical treatment is completed, he will be officially injected with the life-span vaccine. I hope you can take care of the child if you are free."

Niya laughed.

"Why should I take it?"

"He has a strong heart for power, and you should know that better than anyone else."

Niya waved her hands and said.

"I know, I will go to Le Xiao more often after a while. After all, that girl also needs to be taken care of, right?"

Gene laughed.

Niya said with some emotion.

"I don't know how long you'll be going this time. If you go for a long time and come back, I might be old."

Gene nodded.

"It's true that I don't know how long I have to go. This time I want to walk around more and investigate everything clearly."

"Did you know something?"

Niya looked at Jean suspiciously, because she had known Jean for too long, and looking at Jean's expression, she seemed to have something on her mind.

"If possible, I would like to visit Ozhou."

"Is this where you lose your memory?"

Gene hummed and Niya smiled.

"Wouldn't it be nice to take a leisurely rest?"

Gene smiled and shook his head as he stood up and walked to the window.

"We don't have much time. We must arrange everything properly so that I can leave with peace of mind."

Nia got up and walked over, but Gene had already jumped to the window.

"Are you planning to go back? Don't you want to have a drink together? I happen to be free today."

Gene said with a smile.

"Then you go shopping for groceries later and come to my house."

Nia nodded, but asked anyway.

"Where are you going?"

"Go to King Xue."

Niya was a little surprised, but Jean had already jumped down. Looking at Jean leaving, Niya closed the window. She smiled a little disappointedly, because it might be a long time before we were separated this time, and Jean had often been seen in the past. Some news in the city, but nothing about Jean has been seen recently.

"That guy probably won't come back."

Niya muttered, feeling vaguely uneasy. For some reason, she always felt that after Gene left this time, he might not return to this city for a long time.

4:20pm

King Xue had just finished a meeting with some directors and returned to the office with Zi Yuer.

"Section Chief, why are those guys so honest lately?"

King Xue smiled, took off his glasses and wiped them.

"Is not it good?"

Zi Yuer sighed.

"I just feel a little uncomfortable."

"Because they already know clearly that the future benefits will be huge, so it doesn't matter even if they bleed some blood now. This is the nature of businessmen."

Zi Yuer said with a giggle.

"I hope they can continue to be as well-behaved as ever."

At this moment, Zi Yuer saw Jean suddenly jumping up from the window. She was startled. The window was opened after the light blue particles entered.

"Lord Jean."

Zi Yuer bowed respectfully, and Jean stepped in with a smile.

"Zi Yu'er, you go down and deal with things first."

King Xue put on his glasses, and Zi Yuer bowed again and left the office.

"Principal, you came here because of the kid named Jamie."

Gene nodded.

"You really like to pin your future on these things."

Gene laughed. King Xue came to the wine cabinet and took out a bottle of red wine, and then poured a glass for Gene.

"You will be leaving soon, principal."

Gene nodded.

“The city is so quiet right now.”

"This way you won't be too exhausted, okay?"

King Xue laughed.

"Zi Yu'er just told me that she wasn't used to it."

Gene took the red wine and took a sip before saying.

"This city no longer needs you to contain anything. The next step can be to do it freely, especially when it comes to education."

When Le Xiao came back last night, she talked to Jean about education. In the future, a large number of schools will need to be opened and a large number of teachers will be trained, because the city's population will continue to grow.

"Maybe, but we still have to wait and see."

"Indeed, just do as you always have. After I leave, I hope you can take the time to teach that child well."

In Gene's mind, Niya and King Xue are the two best candidates. As Jamie's teachers, these two are the most suitable.

"I know, principal, how long will you be leaving this time?"

"Maybe a few years, but I'm not sure."

King Xue nodded and sat next to Jean. He had not seen Jean so relaxed for a long time. The current city has completely exceeded their imagination. He can do something so quickly and solve the problem of the city. Most of the problems that have been going on for a long time.

"Why don't you have a drink tonight?"

King Xue suggested, and Gene shook his head.

"I have made an appointment with Niya. It will be another day. I will have a good drink with you before leaving. I hope you can do your best for Whit."

King Xue was a little surprised.

"You don't have to worry about this, principal. She comes over from time to time recently, and I always have a good get-together with her."

Jean nodded, drank the wine in the glass, and left. King Xue looked at Jean who left, thought for a while with some secret sadness, and drank the remaining wine in his hand.

"Good luck to you principal."

Jean stood on a tall building. The next person he wanted to find was Heathcote. The city had begun to change, and legal matters were always what Jean was worried about, especially the acceptance of people from the barrier area. , there are still certain obstacles at present. This obstacle is not caused by the people in the city, but by the system and past laws.

In the past, in order to curb various crimes and many tax evasion problems in the city, a referendum had to be held because of some things. But obviously this approach was wrong, because many problems in Bright City have been solved over the years. It is inseparable from the barrier zone. Many things that cannot be done are also related to the barrier zone.

Jean took another look at the barrier area. Now he could see a lot of light gathering outside the ravine. Jean felt extremely relieved. He was a little regretful that he could not see the day when the changes would have good results, but maybe next time When you come back, this city will really be filled with flowers and laughter.
