In fact, the process of taking the mouser out was not difficult, after all, there was no reliable process when she was locked up.

The difficult part was the subsequent arrangements. It was also at this time that Weiwei learned that the City Hall had allocated housing with low rents and could be repaid. It was only provided to employees.

But why, as the mayor, does she have to live in a drafty lounge?

It happened that Millie had no roommate, so Vivi arranged for Sheila to live with Millie. During this time, they were flying over half of Gotham in a helicopter, but the girl sitting opposite Vivi did not show any longing for anything outside the window.

The setting sun slowly sank at the end of the coastline, and the birds flapped their wings. Before long, it was already evening in Gotan. Weiwei always felt that the game time seemed to have been sped up quietly, otherwise why did a day always seem to pass in a blink of an eye?

The airship painted with slogans flew past them, looking funny yet cute.

"She's really pretty, isn't she?"

She was referring to Gotan.

Weiwei let out a breath slowly, looking at the flags fluttering wildly in the wind in the distance, the crows perched on the dripping beasts, and the clouds dyed golden red. She didn't think about the mission or the gang for the time being, at this moment she just quietly enjoyed the happiness brought by the game itself.

"Yeah." Sheila was a little serious, obviously the kind of person who has to reply when someone talks to her. She thought for a moment, took out a one-eyed gray rat from her arms, and said, "Scott is also very cute."

Weiwei: “…Yeah.”

Let's just forget about this.

After getting off the plane, Vivi packed up Sheila and gave her secretary Millie to arrange, and then returned to her office. As expected, Sherk was waiting for her and handed Vivi a "dismissal list".

In addition to the 72 people Weiwei had marked, there were another 118 termites caught from other units. However, Sherk hesitated for a moment and put forward his own opinion:

"Boss, it might not be a good idea to fire them all at once."

Weiwei motioned for him to continue.

"Some of them embezzled public funds, some came in late and left early, some bullied other employees, and some were simply incapable of holding their current positions... But they are all local people from Gotan, which means that in addition to being employees, they are also the financial support of a Gotan family."

"The employment rate in Kotan is not high. Many migrant workers have taken up jobs of locals, and locals cannot receive adequate education due to economic reasons, which has created a vicious cycle. If they are fired, the unemployment rate will rise sharply. In order to make a living, these vicious parasites will become gangsters, or they will bully women at home because they have no livelihood..."

Sherk seemed to have guessed what Weiwei wanted to do. The IQ attribute in his panel was indeed not fake.

The central idea of ​​this admonition is that mass layoffs will cause social instability - although this city has always been unstable - the game design is detailed and reasonable, but Weiwei has her own thoughts: "Even if you continue to pay them wages in order to maintain stability, will the money go to their families and they will choose to raise their own children? Garbage will always be garbage, but... you did a good job."

Weiwei opened the document, and all the information was automatically loaded into her game panel and quickly categorized.

Sherk could say all this because he had already investigated these people's family information and even their private behavior habits. A reliable secretary would never let the boss tell him to do the same task twice.

——Millie still needs to learn a little in this regard.

Weiwei quickly scanned the messages and quickly checked the boxes on the document: "For those with C, they will be fired directly. For those with B, they will be fired and their wives or children will be notified to come to work, but their positions will be changed to temporary workers, with 70% of the basic salary. For those with A, they can choose to be temporary workers or be fired."

She fired the C-level employees directly on the panel, and she had to ask Sherk to send people to communicate with B and A, but they still had a chance to retain 70% of the minimum base salary. After all, Vivi was not a devil.

If you do well (the attribute panel is beautiful), you will have the opportunity to be promoted.

"I was originally going to call all of them over for a talk," Weiwei looked at the respectful man beside her, "but since you've done such a thorough investigation, there won't be any omissions, so I don't need to waste my time."

If you fire later, you will get an extra day's salary.

But to Sherk, these words were a warning. He thought they made perfect sense, and so he became even more respectful.

[City Government Property: 1.415 million gold (activated)]

[Month-end settlement [utilities and maintenance costs 100,000 gold]/[employee wages 1 million gold] fixed allocation]

[Fixed salary expenditure reduced from 1 million gold to 800,000 gold]

This is the first time that the hidden fixed salary is revealed, probably because Weiwei's behavior has significantly changed the amount of this fixed expense.

she:"……"

"As the mayor, I can only receive 5,000 gold at the end of the month..." Weiwei said weakly, "Why should I spend 800,000 gold to pay salaries?"

And this was after she laid off a batch of employees.

Sherk, who was working and didn't hear clearly: ?

Weiwei originally thought that the 70,000 gold she had was a lot, but now she thinks, what can she do with it?

The things refreshed in the gold mall are all small things. If a power plant or a nuclear bomb base is refreshed one day, she can't afford it, regardless of whether to buy it or not!

We can no longer save money, we must open up the source!

However——

"I remember there was a young man among the five members of the construction team. He was not a subordinate of Black Mask and did not participate in the previous riot, right? Did he work? Wasn't he paid?"

After all, there is no gold expenditure in the system records.

The torn wall was not repaired, but dark curtains were hung inside and outside, temporarily separating the inside and outside. The corpse and bloodstains were cleaned up, and only the spray-painted patterns under the wool carpet bore witness to what had happened here.

When Sherk heard Weiwei mention Peter, he came back to his senses. "Although he is a temporary worker, he does not have a stamped certificate, so he does not meet the procedures for issuing work subsidies. However, he followed the logistics department to complete the tasks you assigned. He said frankly that this work experience is more important than any money."

It’s free. Peter’s name is terrible but he has a long list of attributes. Vivi’s favor towards him has increased again.

I hope there will be more employees like this.

However, she did not want to repair this disastrous wall. It would not cost the mayor a month's salary (5,000 gold) to repair a normal wall. It was only because of the artistic bonus of the town hall building itself that an engineering team with special skills had to be hired to do the work. Anyway, it was not impossible to have no wall, so just leave it as it was.

…After Weiwei looked at the fixed monthly expenses, every gold coin in the City Hall had to be spent carefully.

Savings have reached their limit, and we must open up.

Weiwei took a deep breath and opened [Fund Allocation-Business Investment]——

【1. Become a shareholder of AT Construction Company】

[2. Become a supporter of the Sionis family]

【3. Achieved cooperative investment with Wayne Enterprise】

【4. Become one of the directors of Gotan College】

[5. Create your own spray paint art museum]

[6. Create a sewer rat catching housekeeping company]

[7. Become one of the shareholders of Iceberg Restaurant]

Each activated business investment corresponds to Weiwei's game behavior, summoning the construction team, Black Mask Sionis, Wayne learned through the computer, temporary workers from Gotham College, spray paint and banners, subdued ratcatchers, and the penguin man who was angered by her... She clicked on the last item directly. She was quite interested in both Black Mask and Penguin Man.

【Become one of the shareholders of Iceberg Restaurant】

[You can choose to invest with your real name or anonymously. Under the notarization of the game, neither party can violate the investment contract]

[Introduction: The Iceberg Restaurant is owned by Mr. Cobert, the penguin man. It is located in the Diamond District, the richest area in Gothenburg. It has a large customer flow and a very high economic effect (the current comprehensive evaluation of the city is too low and taxes cannot be collected)]

[Other information please explore by yourself]

【Recommended investment level: five stars】

“…Huh?”

Cobert...why does this last name sound so familiar?

The room was filled with the lingering smell of blood. Sherk had returned to the secretary's office to do the rest of his work (and would most likely have to work overtime tonight), and Millie hadn't brought Sheila back yet, so Vivi was the only one here.

She walked around the room and chose to go to the study, where she took out her first well-preserved corpse from under the bookcase.

[An unknown corpse with the word "VV" engraved on the back of its neck]

[Players can choose -

a. Spend 1000 gold (personal property) to burn

b. Spend 2000 gold (personal property) to buy a normal tombstone

c. Spend 5,000 gold (personal property) to buy a luxurious tombstone (there is a chance to meet investor Cobert)

d. Spend 50 diamonds (personal property) to buy a super luxurious tombstone and place an advertisement in all newspapers in Kotan (there is a chance to meet investor Wayne)]

[Current personal assets: 78,200 gold coins]

Wow.

Is this the Cobert?

Peter had a not-so-special day in his life today.

Well, although a lot of things happened today, from the day he was bitten by the spider, every day from then on was a special day.

So there is no number available for today.

After learning that the dead were not good people, Peter's guilt of "they died next to me" was slightly reduced, but he was still not very interested. He intuitively felt that something was wrong, and his pure sense of justice made him hope that those guys would be punished by law rather than die in a gunfight due to a ridiculous misunderstanding, uh, a gunfight in the city hall.

...Both the beginning and the stage where things developed seemed a little strange.

And he still couldn't find the girl from last night, even though he had... a little guess in his mind.

call……

At this time they were in the logistics department's car, and Peter was just there to help, painting slogans or something like that somewhere in the city.

Anyway, he was relatively free, and for some reason, he was very happy when he helped install curtains and delivered tools in the mayor's office. This even diluted the unhappiness caused by the "accident", so he naturally blended in with the logistics department.

Just... huh!?

"It seems that the front is ..."

"Ah," the senior who led him patted his shoulder vigorously, "Naihe Island is just ahead!"

Peter: “?”

As we all know, there are only two famous buildings on the Island of Death, Arkham Asylum and Gotham Institute.

Peter swallowed.

"Of course we're not going to Arkham, that's too dangerous. The next stop is the last place where we need to paint slogans. Oh, that's Gotham College. Have you been there?"

Peter:?!

Wait a minute——

"Oh, sorry, do you have a mask or a hat or anything? Please lend it to me!"

How could he explain to his classmates, who he didn't know very well, that he didn't go to the library to study on weekends and turned down the invitation to join the academic competition team in order to work as a temporary painter at the city government?

...or the kind that doesn't cost money.

Half an hour later, wearing a large stuffed rabbit mask, Peter silently got out of the car.

Even the back is sad.
