About ten minutes before the meeting started, Powers called a young man in his thirties to a VIP room aside.
In fact, whether it is within the party or outside the party, as long as it involves politics, things will become a little strange.
Even if most companies have VIP rooms where VIPs can rest alone, there will not be too many of them. Two or three is the limit, because it is impossible for so many VIPs to come together.
But in the building of the New Party Committee, there are fifteen VIP rooms, each space is less than thirty square meters. The furnishings inside are very simple, but the sound insulation effect is very good.
Not only does the new party do this, the old party actually does this too, and they have more VIP rooms than the new party, and they also have more secrets that need to be communicated privately.
After closing the door and making sure it was locked, Powers asked the young man to sit down. "I have something to explain, and I hope you won't be too surprised when you hear it."
This young man is called Schnoder, one of the representatives of the populist wing of the New Party.
He came from a very ordinary background, like most civilians, he was born into an ordinary family. After his parents divorced during his childhood, he lived with his mother.
Affected by his living environment, he left school after high school and integrated into society to earn some meager salary to support his family.
After working in the society for two years, Schnoder discovered that in formal enterprises, the higher the education level, the more money one can get, especially because he had attended high school and graduated, stood out from the assembly line and became a work group leader, and After managing half of the workshop, this idea became even more apparent.
When he was about to be promoted to workshop manager for the second time, he chose to go home and re-study. With excellent results, he was invited to the South Staley Engineering College and became an outstanding college student.
Later, he was discovered by the New Party Development Office, and he was invited to join the New Party with the help of student funds.
After completing his studies at university, Schnoder began his political career, initially as a clerk in the town hall of a small coastal town in the southeastern part of the empire.
Thanks to the favor of Powers and other popular leaders, his political career was very smooth. He became a mayor in only fourteen years.
This was a success that was unimaginable to most people in the past and even now.
In addition to the attention and care from senior officials such as Powers, his own abilities are also very outstanding. Perhaps because he comes from the bottom of society, he has a better understanding of what ordinary people need in society, which makes him in charge of government. The city is very popular.
Some citizens even suggested erecting a bronze statue in Schnoder's honor to thank him for his efforts over the years, although it was not erected in the end.
The civilian faction has already regarded him as one of Powers' future successors, and is likely to go further. This is why Powers found him alone.
Schnoder may have a breakthrough in his own unfinished business, and he will also become his successor in politics, moving towards a brighter future with his own ideals and ambitions.
"You know, Dulin was assassinated a few days ago and fell into a coma..." When Powers said these words, he was very happy both on his face and in his heart. As for why he was happy, that was another question.
Schnoder nodded. People all over the world were about to know about this. It was impossible for him not to know.
But at this moment, his heart began to surge, and his heartbeat accelerated little by little.
After Dulin fell into a coma, his assistant applied to send an acting governor from within the new party to temporarily replace Dulin in presiding over the daily work of Ambiro State. Everyone was talking about who was more hopeful of getting this good opportunity and thus reaching a higher level.
Although the acting governor is only a short-term job similar to a "temporary worker", who can guarantee that Dulin will wake up and recover as soon as possible. Maybe he will need more time to recuperate physically and mentally!
What's more, what if... what if Du Lin can't wake up
No matter what the situation is, this choice as acting governor has only advantages and no disadvantages.
Not only can you get the management work and experience of presiding over a state, but you can also have the opportunity to do it for a long time. During this period, the seemingly peaceful new party has already been undercurrents within the party, and there are people everywhere who want to get this key opportunity. .
Schnoder already had a hint of understanding in his heart. He licked his lips and said, "Yes, I feel sad for Mr. Dulin's injury, and I am also angry for the murderers."
Powers laughed a few times, and there was something strange in his laughter. "I plan to nominate you to temporarily take charge of the daily work of Ambiluo State on Dulin's behalf. You know, you are the best here, so I also I am willing to give you the best opportunity.”
Schnoder suddenly became excited. When he wanted to say something, Powers raised his hand and pressed it softly, making him sit back. "I am old. I know what I am capable of in politics and work." And prestige is not enough to convince everyone.”
"The real reason why they elected me as the leader of the New Party for this term is because I have served the New Party for nearly thirty years. They want to give me some comfort before I grow old. At least my whole life fighting for the New Party is not It’s meaningless.”
"It's no one's fault. They didn't have to give me this opportunity, but they still chose me." Powers felt a little lonely when he said these words.
Magers had already started a secret society before the Civil War. Magers met Powers when he was just a civilian and invited him to join his secret society.
From then until this year, he had devoted almost his whole life to the New Party and Magus, but in exchange for eight years of his career as a puppet, he would never be willing to accept it no matter what.
Maggs would rather let the old party win the general election than let him ascend to the position of prime minister. He never understood what kind of hatred could make Maggs do this.
His complex eyes turned away and stared closely at Schnoder, "I have no chance to show my political ambitions, but you are still young and you still have a chance."
"Even without this emergency, you can still become the governor when you are forty years old, so this is just an experience for you, an attempt, and a very good work experience accumulation. Do you understand what I mean?"
Schnoder nodded, with a vivid expression and sincere enthusiasm from the inside out, "Mr. Powers, I am very, very grateful for your personal appreciation of me. I have the confidence and ability to complete the tasks assigned by you within this period of time." All my tasks!”
This sentence made Powers feel much more comfortable, because Schnoder knew exactly who gave him this opportunity, which was very important. He patted Schnode on the shoulder with satisfaction and continued, "You don't have to either. I’m so happy. After all, this is just my idea. Whether it can be passed at the party meeting is still a question.”
"In addition, we assume that it passes..." When they said this, the two looked at each other and smiled. Some words did not need to be said, and they knew it well. "Then you will leave your current job for a period of time. You Do you have any ideas about who will take over your job temporarily?”
What is politics
This is politics, so what is the essence of politics
Exchange, trade!
Powers has given Schnoder a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it is also because he is very optimistic about this young man. So at this time, Schnoder has obtained greater benefits, and he cannot give nothing, otherwise That is against the rules.
Therefore, this young and outstanding politician with more political potential made the most appropriate choice, "I don't have any better suggestions in this regard, so why don't you make the arrangements?"
Does he really have no good candidates
Definitely not. Whether they are his local assistants, secretaries, or close companions within the party, he can nominate these people and give them a good opportunity to temporarily take over the daily work of the local government on his behalf.
But he did not do that. Instead, he gave the nomination opportunity to Powers as payment for being "acting governor."
As for Powers, not only did he handle the issue of acting governor, but he also held the position of acting mayor. No matter how long the time was, for some people with lower positions than members, they could exchange it for anything. .
Not only did he complete his plan, improve his authority within the new party and the civilian faction, and maintain his status, he also showed a certain "ability."
This ability happens to be the favorite of all politicians, which is enough to erase his poor performance during this period and obtain a positive score.
Schnoder's performance can be given full marks. Powers patted his arm and stood up, "I will help you firmly if I can help you with this matter. There are still some things that you need to solve by yourself. You know what I mean." ?"
The former's face was filled with a bright smile, "Of course, Mr. Powers, then please excuse me for a moment..."
Powers walked to the door and opened it, stretched out his hand to make a "please" gesture, and watched Schnoder disappear out the door as he thanked him.
As long as this matter can be handled, the road ahead will be much easier than it is now, and Schnoder is a very smart kid, he will know some of his ideas and how to complete them.
In fact, speaking of it, this is also the tragedy of every "successor", because before they become the next person who can speak loudly and make decisions, they often cannot have independent action and can only act like a puppet.
It's like... my old self.
