Dang Dang Dang
In the dark night, the bell rang, and the people who were still jubilating on the street stopped. The crowd began to gradually subside, and everyone invariably looked in the direction where the bell gradually became clearer.
Gradually, the human voices began to disappear, and the bells became clearer and clearer, beating rhythmically. There was only one place that could emit such clear and crisp bells, which was the Bell Tower Square outside the 1st Section Headquarters on the middle floor.
This sound appears every New Year, and can be heard even from the edge. The ringing of the bell heralds the arrival of the new year. However, this year's festival did not come as scheduled. The extinguishing of the sun made everyone sink into
into the darkness.
At 4 o'clock in the morning, there are still two hours before the sun rises. People standing on the cold streets unconsciously look towards the place where the bell is ringing. According to the custom of Bright City, the bell will ring one more every year until
The hammering is over, and this year happens to be the 100th anniversary of the establishment of Bright City.
January 1, 2146, was the day when Brilliant City was officially established. The gods integrated all the forces on this land and based on the highest peak on this land, Brilliant City was officially established.
This bell tower was also built a century ago. The bell sound is steady and powerful, as if it has spanned from the past to the present. The bell is still ringing, and it seems particularly clear and distant in such a silent night, as if it is telling something, many.
Everyone was silent.
100 years is neither long nor short. For humans in the past, these 100 years were very long. After experiencing countless wars and famines, humans finally established a decent land in the decades after the end.
For today's humans, 100 years may be fleeting.
Everyone was waiting silently for the bell to ring, and some people spontaneously observed silence. Congress has still not given a clear explanation of this incident, but it is certain that many people died.
The bloody conflict was inevitable. After several hours of gunfire, everyone knew what happened. According to the latest news, reporters were blocked outside and could only interview some officials from the peripheral departments.
No one knows what happened to the 11 occupied districts.
News about this incident has been completely blocked. Everyone is waiting for more specific instructions, but they are more worried about whether the artificial sun will be able to light up the city as promised tomorrow.
The headquarters of Section 1, located next to the Bell Tower Square, was brightly lit at this time. Most of the businessmen were here, waiting to apply for a new round of qualification certificates. Most of them were food-related businessmen.
King Xue stood quietly in the office, facing the square, holding a glass of wine in his hand, and the big clock was still beating. Today's qualifications are issued very quickly, because this is a special season, and the review of some items has been reduced.
standard.
Julia sat quietly aside, she was still busy in front of the light and shadow screen, planning to write her resignation letter.
"Are you really not thinking about it?"
King Xue asked, and Julia shook her head. For her, things and people here have changed. Although she knew this was inevitable, Julia had thought about this issue from the first day the business department was established.
, what will it be like when you retire?
Julia had fantasized about the results countless times, but each time it was just a fantasy. With enthusiasm and dreams, they devoted themselves to the business department with only one purpose: to manage the city well and make the city better. However,
Things went against expectations. Everything now was far different from what had been discussed in school countless times in the past, maybe not even one tenth.
Julia is very aware that she is a very emotional person. Every time some major problems arise, she feels very sad, especially as big problems break out again and again, and they can only run around and finally look at the past relationship.
The classmates who were good friends fell apart, and finally retreated one by one. Until Alpha left, Julia felt unprecedentedly uncomfortable.
Julia couldn't stay in this place anymore. She had discussed this issue with King Xue before this incident started, but King Xue just kept delaying it. Until today, Julia couldn't bear it anymore. She wanted to
Leave this place that makes her sad.
"Sorry!"
Julia said, King Xue took off his glasses, put them aside, looked back at Julia, and took a sip of wine.
"It's me who should apologize, Julia. You've done a good job over the years, but sometimes things become beyond what we can handle and get worse. No one wants to let things get that bad."
It’s terrible, but there is no other way. People cannot fight against the times. Once they are involved in the torrent of the times, no one can survive alone.”
King Xue said with emotion, walked to Julia, and poured wine for her.
"What about you? What are you going to do? The coming era will only be full of difficulties, aren't you tired?"
King Xue sat down slightly tiredly.
"It's very tiring. There are too many things to handle every day, but someone has to handle them. Instead of leaving them to those without talent, I might as well do it myself."
Julia laughed. King Xue was still the same. He was perhaps the person with the strongest sense of responsibility among all his classmates. In order to take back the medical industry, he almost devoted all his efforts and finally completed the move to nationalize the medical industry.
.
King Xue is perhaps the most capable person in the field besides Alpha, and to this day, he is still working hard and has not retreated because of fatigue or the times that are about to worsen in the future.
"Originally, I wanted you to go to Section 5, Julia."
Julia shook her head.
"Fifth subject? Don't be kidding me. I'm not that type of person, but what happened to those two children is really surprising and shocking."
King Xue's face darkened a little. He did not agree with Jean's approach. Let's not mention Michelle. Her ability is obvious to all. King Xue originally hoped to let Michelle come to Department 1 as Julia's successor.
The person became the secretary of Section 1, but the gods had already issued the order.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Michelle is now the official secretary of Section 5. She independently handles everything in Section 5 and is very efficient. After the war,
In just a few hours, I have sorted out the important things that need to be handed over to various subjects.
This kind of processing power is like a sophisticated humanoid machine. There is no other person in the bright city. King Xue doesn't know what the next era will be like, but what is certain is that it is impossible to predict.
Times will become more and more changing, especially when Niya becomes the section chief of Section 5. Basically, most people in the Executive Section are opposed to it, and the benefits of doing so are also relatively large.
First of all, Niya is a member of the Angus family, and most of the citizens have seen everything the Angus family has done for the city over the years. This is why they can continue to be the richest family in Brilliant City.
For this reason, the people unknowingly responded to their kindness to the Angus family with practical actions in their daily lives.
The second point is that Niya’s sister Alpha was once the section chief of Section 5, and many of the things Niya has dealt with over the years have become the talk of many middle- and lower-class people on the streets, especially her relationship with gang leaders.
The fight that lasted for several months added a beautiful color to her.
This seems a bit incredible to King Xue. This child who has always caused trouble in the past can subtly receive so much support. In King Xue's opinion, the probability of this happening is almost zero.
"I think this girl Niya will one day become the mainstay of this city."
King Xue looked at Julia with a smile on his face with some surprise.
"It's surprising, isn't it? Because everything she does has only one starting point, goodwill! This is the reason why many people can accept Niya nowadays. It is not the labels of the past, the disobedient second son of the Angus family.
Daughter, Alpha’s naughty sister, these labels are no longer useful to her, you must have used AI.”
King Xue said yes. He had indeed used AI to conduct a large-scale survey of almost the entire city. The person who talked about the 5 subjects the most was Niya.
Some topics related to Niya were discussed the most in the city. In front of these data, King Xue felt very surprised and shocked.
"What on earth did we get into?"
King Xue smiled helplessly. The matter has become a foregone conclusion. We can only wait and see what kind of approach the girl will take in the future. But there is another thing that surprised King Xue. Michelle should not act in 13
Ke has been waiting for a long time, and the position of an executive with a 5.5 is simply tailor-made for her.
"The future may not be as difficult as you think, and the business department will become a whole."
Julia smiled and nodded.
"I hope so!"
This has been said for many years. The business department needs to form a complete whole to be able to manage all aspects of the city. However, over the years, almost all the business departments have never been unified on many things. Alpha has worked hard, but everything
Subtle changes have occurred.
Although the gods have not yet announced that Niya will become the chief of Section 5, they probably want to wait until the city's resumption of work is completed before announcing it. After all, the pain period of resumption of work will come soon. This is a long-term question.
Not a short period of time.
King Xue can basically imagine that during this period, many people should be in despair, and Niya's succession can bring some hope to these desperate people. I believe this is brought by the Angus family.
It was brought by Alpha.
"Let's wait and see!"
clang.........
4:10
The last bell ended, the reverberating sound gradually dissipated, the human voice began to come back again, the crowd began to get excited again, and it would be dawn in less than 2 hours.
A lift slowly landed on the lawn of Angus' house, and Ling Hong carried Niya out. Niya looked extremely tired.
"Mom, get me something to eat and drink."
Niya shouted as soon as she entered the room, but the next second Niya was surprised to see that the house was full of people, including most of the uncles and uncles from the Angus family, as well as her classmates. Suli was sitting with her mother.
, the two looked at themselves with smiles.
