8:29.
Alpha opened the door of Le Xiao's house. Jamie had already gone to school, and Locke and Michelle walked in.
"I thought that girl's house would be very messy."
Locke looked around with his hands behind his back. He used to come to this place often because Gene lived here.
"Tell me what is going on?"
Alpha asked, and Locke nodded: "I want to retire."
Alfa frowned slightly and said, "You are so young."
Locke smiled and said: "Do you still remember when you were in school? You were all seven or eight years old. I was already 20 at that time. Think about how many years it has been since I came here. It's just that I don't look old. In fact, I am almost the same as Old Man Ye.
I am different from Old Man Ye and Hawke."
Alfa smiled helplessly, took out the wine from the wine cabinet, and threw a bottle over. She probably knew what Locke was going to do here.
Locke unscrewed the wine bottle and took a big gulp. Michelle on the side frowned slightly.
"Manager, it's better to drink less."
Alfa took out some snacks from the cupboard and placed them on the table. After putting them down, Alfa unscrewed the wine bottle and took a sip before asking.
"When are you going to retire?"
Locke looked at Alfa with a serious expression and said.
"When you are willing to take over my position."
Alpha smiled helplessly and shook his head.
"There are so many complicated things in 13 subjects now, and..."
"There is no such thing as Alfa, because there is a precedent."
After Locke interrupted Alfa's words, Michelle understood. Indeed, Le Xiao was such a precedent. Le Xiao suddenly became the secretary of Section 13 from an ordinary person. In the beginning, all the senior executives of the Executive Section were worried about this situation.
They all felt very bad.
Such a change of power would lead to great chaos in the city, but what everyone predicted and guessed did not happen. Instead, the city underwent earth-shaking changes because of Le Xiao's appearance. Such a sudden change of power would indeed be very risky.
, but as a result the risk did not appear.
And now everyone finally understands why the city did not suffer huge chaos due to the huge change of power, because as long as what is done is correct from the beginning, then there is nothing to worry about.
"That girl Le Xiao!"
Alfa said and took a sip of wine. At this time, she was trembling in her heart, but at the same time she was a little hesitant. Locke had also mentioned this matter in the past, asking Alfa to go to the General Affairs Department and become the general manager of the Business Department.
But the city was in chaos at that time. Although Alpha had this idea, she couldn't do without Section 5. If something went wrong in Section 5, the city would collapse.
"Things are different now, Miss Alpha."
Michelle said, and Alfa hummed and asked.
"Michelle, what are you thinking?"
Alfa knew very well that Michelle had unparalleled talents. She relied on her talents to climb all the way to the position of secretary of the General Affairs Section.
"Although I will be a little dissatisfied, I will not be dissatisfied because the administrative department needs reform. How about continuing to complete the unfinished things in the past, Miss Alfa?"
Michelle had read Alpha's letters to the section chiefs before he did that kind of thing. Each letter was aimed at the improvement of each section, but many things ended up being left unsolved. These letters are currently sealed in Section 6.
.
Michelle carefully read the letter written by Alpha 50 years ago. Many of the issues above were aimed at the reform of the administrative department. However, it is obvious that after so many years, many of the things in the letter have still not been completed because no one can take the lead.
.
Locke is often more like a person who balances his career and the situation of all parties. The only thing he can do is to reconcile everything and restore calm when some violent conflicts occur.
Although this can stabilize the city very well, there will be no new changes in the city. At a time when the city is changing so drastically, it is time for a thorough reform.
Michelle has carefully read some of the reform bills that Alfa has made in the past. Many of the bills are forward-looking. Unfortunately, such bills cannot be promoted because the entire practice department has been solidified. This solidification cannot be achieved by just one or two people.
Broken ones can be solved.
Alpha took out a cigarette and lit it. She lowered her head and remained silent. Locke took another sip of wine and then said with a smile.
"In the past, if you made such a rash move, it might make many people in the city uneasy and even cause big problems, but it is different now, Alpha. In the past, you have been bound to Section 5 and the entire city, but
Now the things that bind you no longer exist. Over the years, I have actually thought about it a lot, and I have talked a lot with Gene. When he mentioned you many times, he felt extremely regretful."
Alfa blew out a puff of smoke, took a sip of wine, and then smiled.
"If it had really been successful at that time, maybe things wouldn't have come to this point, but it's okay now."
Locke stood up, looked at Alfa seriously, and then drank the wine in the bottle in one breath.
"Jean pushed that girl up because he was so desperate that he had no choice but to think of releasing you. In my opinion, everything you did in the past was not evil. It was just a
Things are wrong under the Order, and the Hillmans are responsible for most of the current problems. They've been out to take everything from the city's founding."
Alfa put out the cigarette butt, drank the wine in the bottle and nodded. She stood up and stretched out her hand, saying firmly with her eyes.
"I know, I'll get up there, if you'll let me."
Locke shook his hand, and Michelle stood up and bowed slightly. There was a certain joy in her eyes. The current affairs department does not need to be gentle. The city has begun to change dramatically. What the affairs department needs now is a strong leader.
, because big problems may occur again in cities in the future.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The problems created by the Hillman family and other business families in the city in the past would have exploded long ago if they hadn't.
"I will announce it tomorrow, just like that girl's inauguration ceremony, cutting through the mess with a sharp knife. Before the people in the city can react, I will end everything, and then everything will be left to you. I will hold a meeting tonight
A meeting attended by the section chief’s secretary and the gods.”
After Locke finished speaking, Michelle said.
"I will arrange the inauguration ceremony directly."
Alfa hummed and she said.
"I will continue to handle the work of Section 13 here until evening."
Locke smiled and hugged Alfa. The two have worked together for a long time, 70 years have passed since the beginning of the School of God.
During the 50 years of Alpha's absence, Locke thought countless times about the past when problems occurred, and he chose to remain silent. Many times when he saw Alpha who was full of anger, Locke could only comfort him.
But comfort can't solve any problems. In the end, the problems completely piled up and burst out in one breath.
After a while, Michelle stretched out her hand, Alpha held Michelle's hand, and Michelle said.
"I look forward to working with you in the future. Miss Alfa, my mother has often mentioned you since I was very young. Over time, I have regarded you as my role model."
Alpha nodded with sharp eyes, and Michelle held her fists on her chest and bowed in salute.
Locke nodded, and then the two of them went downstairs. Alfa sat in the living room, looking at her trembling hands. She knew exactly what this meant. In fact, during those days in prison, Alfa was a little regretful. She
Perhaps a gentler approach should have been adopted at that time, but it was obvious that the gods would not allow chaos in the city.
Soon Alpha returned downstairs, and everyone came up. Ran Zai looked solemn, Ran Zhi smiled helplessly, and Wu Lei sighed and asked.
"Miss Alfa, do you really want to go to the General Affairs Department?"
After Alpha was silent for a while, he lit a cigarette and said.
"I will become the second head of the business department."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was shocked. Wu Lei also looked at Alfa with a solemn expression. He originally thought that if Alfa was to work as a secretary in the General Affairs Department, Locke would retire, but what he didn't expect was that he would
It's the manager.
"Then Secretary-General..."
Alpha said.
"She said that although she is a little dissatisfied, she will not be dissatisfied."
Ran Zai took the lead in clapping, and everyone clapped, Ran Zhi said.
"Congratulations, I thought you would hesitate."
Alfa exhaled a puff of smoke and said.
"I will not hesitate, let alone flinch. This is what I left behind in the past. This road was cut off at some point in time, but now I will finish it."
