Chapter 911: Rotating Gears (Part 1)
In front of me was a dilapidated stone path, winding and twisting. The dilapidated and mottled khaki walls were covered with graffiti. This was an older residential area in District 118, nearly three kilometers away from the bustling central area.
The light was a little dazzling at the entrance of the alley. Le Xiao was speechless, and Le Ying beside her also became quiet. At this time, the world seemed to have fallen into silence. Le Xiao stopped and looked at the newly decorated blue three-story building in front of her. On the balcony on the second floor, there were pots of flowers that were delicate and beautiful in the sun.
The door of the house, which was originally just a muddy ground, had been covered with white patterned carved tiles. Reporters had been waiting on both sides, intending to take pictures of Le Xiao returning home.
Le Xiao walked quickly, and C let go of her hand, which was considered a relief. This girl did not take the usual road. C felt extremely uncomfortable several times along the way, but fortunately there was no problem on the road.
Nothing has changed!
The moment Le Xiao walked out of the alley, there were a lot of camera sounds on both sides. She looked at her mother standing at the door in a white floral dress, smiling at her. Le Xiao walked over quickly, still approached as usual, and took off her hat.
"Mom, I'm back."
Su Xin opened her arms excitedly and hugged her daughter in her arms. Le Xiao smiled and raised her head. Seeing her daughter's playful look, Su Xin hurriedly reminded her in a low voice.
"Le Le, be a little more serious in such an occasion!"
Le Xiao looked at her mother and shook her head.
"I just went home, what's there to take pictures of."
Su Xin was about to say something, but Le Xiao suddenly turned around and waved in all directions.
"Thank you all, thank you friends who accompanied me all the way, I'm home now"
Le Xiao blushed, took a deep breath, and then shouted loudly.
"I will definitely work hard to make life better for the lower classes!"
The thunderous cheers rang out again, and many lower-class people who followed along shouted. Le Xiao nodded in response to the cheers. She had already said what she wanted to say. It was enough to be simple and straightforward. She was not good at saying anything too complicated, nor would she say anything nice.
It must be done!
At this time, some reporters wanted to interview, but they were quickly stopped by the people from Section 5. Several directors went over to persuade the reporters to go back first. After all, Le Xiao had just returned home and would have to go to work later, so she would be very busy. The members of the Operations Section who were on alert around them also began to disperse the excited pedestrians.
Le Xiao immediately urged her mother Su Xin and C and Alpha who followed to hurry into the house. Some reporters were still filming.
"Finally it's quiet. Mom, I'm hungry. Is there anything to eat?"
Le Xiao just finished speaking, and her eyes widened. Everything in the house was beyond Le Xiao's imagination. On the red carpet with golden lace, there was a set of white wooden tables and chairs with gold edges. It looked very high-end. There were also access points for light and shadow materials on the ground. The kitchen was also full of high-level modern machinery.
The walls have been completely renovated, with walls with convertible wallpaper functions. Looking at the stairs on the left, they were completely replaced with wine-red solid wood stairs. Le Xiao was completely dumbfounded. This was not her home. Just now, she thought that no matter how the outside changed, the home would still be the same.
"Mom, what are these?"
Looking at Su Xin who walked into the kitchen and brought out something, C and Alpha looked at the breakfast for three people for a while.
"Thank you very much!"
Su Xin bowed to Alpha and C, and C hurried over.
"Aunt, what are you doing?"
C said and took another look at the strange yellow-brown paste on the plate, which was sprinkled with a lot of chopped green onions.
"Don't worry, my taste is different from this girl's."
"It's delicious."
Le Xiao has already started eating with a spoon. This kind of rice porridge is Le Xiao's favorite in childhood. It is fragrant and sweet. It is the best made by her mother.
Alpha and C started eating. They looked at each other in surprise. Su Xin sat on a chair beside them and laughed.
"My girl eats well. She used to pick up food crumbs dropped on the roadside when she was hungry."
Alpha and C looked at Le Xiao in surprise. Le Xiao's mouth was full of confusion. The food even splashed on her uniform. The two hurriedly looked at the curtains, which were all drawn.
"Mom, why are you talking about this? Has my room changed too?"
Su Xin shook her head with one hand.
"Nothing has changed."
"Ms. Su Xin, please help me prepare a room too."
Alpha said, and Su Xin nodded.
"It has been changed to a bunk bed according to the request of Lord Xue."
Le Xiao was a little confused, and then she patted her head and remembered.
"Mom, what's going on at home? There are so many things, so expensive."
c took a casual glance, not including the latest products and equipment upstairs and downstairs. To install them completely, including the renovation of the walls, it would cost at least 300,000.
"It was Lord Xue Wang's request. He said that this is the home of the secretary of the Operation Department after all. If it is still the same as before, it will make the Operation Department lose face, so he spent 1 million to renovate it."
Le Xiao stood up.
"1 million!"
At this moment, Le Xiao was completely shocked. This was 500 times her salary, but she immediately sat down and continued eating. It seemed that her stomach was more important.
Alpha and C looked at Le Xiao devouring the food and couldn't help but look at each other.
Didn’t you just eat it?
L
Su Xin looked at her daughter clearly, tears kept falling from her eyes, and fell into confusion, while she sucked her nose and ate with big mouthfuls.
"delicious!"
Alpha smiled and put one hand on the back of Lexiao's head, and C immediately said with a smile.
"Lele, what's wrong with you?"
"Mom, I want to eat soy milk puff pastry with adzuki bean rice for lunch today."
Su Xin immediately slapped him.
"I've just had breakfast, and I'm thinking about lunch."
After Le Xiao had eaten and drank, she stood up, stretched and went straight upstairs.
"Sister Alpha, I'll go up first and have a look at my room."
Alpha smiled and lit a cigarette. At this time, C took a cigarette directly from Alpha's hand. When Le Xiao went up, he lit it directly, revealing his original posture, crossing his legs and still smiling gracefully. But his eyes and demeanor changed completely. Alpha immediately understood that it seemed that Le Xiao's mother knew that C was not Le Ying. The only one who didn't know was the stupid girl who went upstairs excitedly.
Su Xin brought three cups of tea, stroking the edges of the teacups with both hands, looking a little serious.
"Are you worried? That child."
Su Xin shook his head.
"I can't tell, Ms. Alpha. I just hope that you can help that child more in the future. It should be very hard, but"
"Mr. Jean has told me that I will do my best to help that girl, so I also want to confirm with your mother today. Is it really okay? I will be responsible for all the teachings of that girl in the future. Work."
Su Xin looked at Alpha with some surprise. This woman who was about the same age as herself was like a bright gem among women of their age.
"Of course, I'll leave everything to Miss Alpha."
As soon as she ran up the folding stairs, Le Xiao took a gulp. The corridor had indeed been renovated, with fresh and beautiful colors. It looked very comfortable. The wind was fluttering the curtains on the door leading to the balcony on the left. At the end was It used to be my parents' room, and the first one on the right is my bedroom.
With some uneasiness, Le Xiao held the light blue door handle, turned it open, and walked in in surprise.
"Let me just say, if my room was also changed, I would feel uncomfortable."
The room is not big, only 20 square meters. On the left is an old wooden bookshelf. The white paint on it has peeled off and faded. Le Xiao still remembers that this was a writing desk that her mother made for herself by a nearby carpenter when she was in elementary school. , there are wooden boards connected on both sides, and there is a flat surface on which there are many painted little clay figurines, there are a large row of red and green ones, this is also Le Xiao's only toy when she was a child.
On the right side was a brand new double loft bed. The previous small wooden bed was gone. Le Xiao walked over and found that this latest style loft bed had a large number of light and shadow function keys. There was a button on the left corner next to the window opposite the door. Le Xiao opened a large, somewhat black wooden box in a hurry. All the clothes made of real plant fibers were neatly arranged inside. Many of them were old clothes, and there were also some gadgets, mainly stones. There were more than ten cute little animal carvings. Le Xiao held them in her hands and felt a little overwhelmed. When she was an ignorant child, she was attracted to a boy, the same boy she was with in elementary school. The male classmate with whom I have a good relationship often plays with him. He made these sculptures as a gift to me when the male classmate went to the middle level with his parents.
"What's that man's name?"
Le Xiao was a little confused for a moment. After thinking about it, she clapped her hands, turned around and sat on the edge of the bed. Just as she was about to sit down, the automatic recognition scanner analyzed Le Xiao's body behavior in an instant. It was originally just steel. White light suddenly emitted from the bed board, and a white and soft bed appeared. Le Xiao lay down on it and kicked off her shoes.
"Just close your eyes and relax for ten minutes!"
In a certain bar, K held hands with the boss, looking enthusiastic and excited, and the pretty and petite woman next to him finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Leave it to me, boss. Our company's wine will never be mixed with too much water to ensure purity and taste! Our Lion Beer is definitely the best beer in the city."
The boss looked at K in disbelief.
"never heard of that."
The woman next to him kicked K.
"That's for sure, boss. Our beer is usually only sold on the upper floor, but now the flow of people on the bottom floor has not surged, so we need some high-end products."
In the end, the boss doubtfully signed the contract to supply 3,000 bottles of Lion beer within the next three months.
It was clearly broad daylight, but the bar was already full of people. Today was like a celebration, with everyone discussing their hopes for a better future.
When k walked out of the bar, he was pulled into the alley by the beautiful woman next to him. The beautiful woman put her hands on her hips and weighed her feet, looking at k angrily.
"When you brag, at least remember to make a draft. If you are found out, we will be in trouble."
K smiled and shook his head.
"This is why I brought you here, Xiao Miao, haven't you noticed that the boss has been staring at your chest?"
The woman named Xiao Miao suddenly punched K in the abdomen. K pretended to be in pain and bent over. Xiao Miao walked out of the alley.
"Hurry up, we have only run 3 stores, and we need to run 7 more."
The moment Xiao Miao moved out of his sight, K's eyes became sharp and he pressed his forehead with one hand.
"I have an important date tonight. It's really troublesome. I might as well get her drunk."
