After watching Powers leave, under the adulation and compliments of many people, Schnoder did not appear particularly excited and always treated the people around him reservedly.
He did not leave immediately after the meeting. He first went to see the chairman of the committee. After Magers retired, the status of the three chairmen of the New Party Committee had been elevated to the same level as Powers.
The new party's external propaganda is to more balance the power structure within the party, but everyone can see that this is to reduce Powers' influence within the new party.
After all, the only "king" and a group of "kings" are completely different concepts, even if the only "king" is just a mascot.
Regardless of whether he is from Powers or not, if he can win such an important internal political election, he must thank the chairman of the committee. This is a potential rule system.
Without the affirmation and recognition of the committee chairman, how could he have achieved what he has achieved today, let alone being able to temporarily preside over the daily work of Ambiro State in place of Dulin.
Without the New Party providing him with sufficient certification resources, he would not have been able to reach this stage, so he must be grateful.
Although he could not thank the chairman of the committee for everything he has done for him, Schnoder is a very smart young man and he knows what he must do to maintain what he has now.
After meeting the committee chairman, Schnoder went to meet the two vice-chairmen.
He stayed in Dolly's office for a little longer. It was Dolly who found him and was willing to bear his expenses during his studies. He invited him to join the New Party, which changed his original destiny.
It can be said that Dolly is Schnaud's political guide. According to some of the current conventions in the empire, it is normal for Schnaud to call Dolly "teacher".
With such a relationship, the friendship between the two is much better than normal.
After Schnoder closed the door and sat down, the two said a few words to suit the occasion. Just as Schnoder was preparing to leave, Dolly gave him a few words of caution.
"The situation in Ambiluo State is not as good as some people imagine. Many people dare not show their teeth to Dulin, but they may not be afraid of you." These words are Dolly's true thoughts.
Schnoder can be said to be a very outstanding member among the younger generation of the party. Magers also talked about Schnoder more than once, thinking that he performed very well in the early days of his work and was not at all like young people. Impetuous and impulsive.
If it weren't for Schnoder's background and his close relationship with Powers, he might have had the opportunity to step into a whole new world.
But even so, as long as there are no problems in the general direction, his future will not be worse than Powers. At least the vice chairman of the committee cannot escape.
Such an outstanding young man is an important asset to the New Party. No matter what the reason is that his political career is interrupted, it will definitely be a great loss to the New Party. Therefore, before he leaves, Dolly must say good things and bad things. Say it all again.
"Also, don't interfere in the policies and development direction of Ambiro State. You should treat yourself as a guest. It is related to the host's family affairs. You can't solve them, and don't think about what you can do."
“Last point, you must remember that you must never touch the state government, including personnel transfer issues in the cities below. You are only the acting governor. You may have such power, but in the end all your efforts will be in vain. "
This was definitely not perfunctory, but a warning from the bottom of his heart. Schnoder listened very seriously, nodded his head repeatedly, and promised that he was just bringing a pair of eyes and ears, and that he would not take the initiative to interfere in any work within the state government.
At this time Dolly sighed, "I'm not worried about you, I'm worried about other people using something to make you compromise."
The figure of Powers popped up in their minds at the same time. He nominated Schnoder and moved him to be the acting mayor of Ambiluo State. It would definitely not be a whim move. He would definitely have his own interests to care about. On Schnoder's body.
Coupled with the conflict between him and Dulin that has long been spread outside, once Schnoder is involved in the differences between Dulin and Powers, he is likely to become cannon fodder, with people everywhere. kind of.
This is not unfounded nonsense, but speculation that is likely to turn into fact.
Dolly closed her mouth after saying this, and Schnoder also stood up and left.
That night, Schnoder received a call from Powers, inviting him to have dinner with him at his home.
It is absolutely a great honor to have dinner with the leader of the new party. Many lower-level members are not even qualified to shake hands with Powers, let alone a family dinner with special significance.
Schnoder thought about it for a while, but happily went to the appointment. His goals and ideas were very clear - I respect you, but I will not violate my own principles. Of course, this must be expressed more artistically.
Powers's home is not on Empire Avenue. After all, he is not the Prime Minister, and he is not qualified to live in Villa No. 1, let alone own his own house in this area that originally belonged only to the aristocracy. This is not a question of whether there is a vacancy, but He is not qualified to live here.
Even if a noble needs to sell their property, they will only choose to transfer it to a noble of the same class. No matter how much money others give, they will not sell their house to ordinary people.
However, his house was not very far from the city center, and he arrived at Powers' house in time before dinner.
Compared with the luxurious villas and mansions of high-level aristocrats, Powers' home is a bit shabby.
The area is not small, but the most expensive furnishings from inside to outside may cost only a few hundred yuan, while the others cost tens of yuan, or one or two hundred yuan for handicrafts.
"Here we come!" Powers took the initiative to reach out and shake Schnoder's hand, and invited him into the house, "I'm waiting for you, we can have dinner first, and I have something to say to you after dinner. "
He glanced at the wine bottle handed over by Schnoder, smiled and told him that he didn't need to bring a gift, but that was all.
There are actually a lot of social etiquette involved in participating in family banquets in this country, but they have been downplayed in recent years. If it were during the period of aristocracy, the family banquet would definitely not be a simple matter of eating and drinking.
Now that the etiquette has been simplified, just give a bottle of wine or other things related to the table, such as bringing some homemade snacks or various pies with you.
The two entered the house. Powers took out a wine opener, opened the wine brought by Schnoder and put it on the table. After inviting him to sit down, the simple family dinner began.
Neither of them talked about anything related to work at the dinner table. They talked more about some recent anecdotes.
After finishing the meal, while Powers' wife began to clear the table, two men walked into Powers' study.
After the two sat down separately, Powers said with a smile, "I want to hear your opinion about your next work."
Schnoder expressed his thoughts happily, "His Excellency Governor Dulin has grasped the development direction of Ambiro State very accurately, and I heard that some propaganda methods have also begun to be put into use. From the collected information The data shows that this is indeed feasible.”
"After I went there, it was more about learning and feeling the management methods of the state government and accumulating experience in daily work. I believe I may not be required to do other things."
The empire has many evaluation agencies, some of which are similar to questionnaire collection to test satisfaction. As long as money is spent, they will send out questionnaire teams to conduct social surveys.
In the questionnaire survey of tourists who have been to Ambiluan State in recent times, most people think that Ambiluan State is a thrilling and exciting area, full of novelty and a unique charm.
If they have time and enough funds, they are willing to travel to Ambiro State again, instead of mainly chasing stars and traveling on the side.
With such a questionnaire as a basis, even if Schnoder wanted to do something, he might not have enough room to intervene, which would ruin Dulin's entire plan.
Powers was actually not satisfied with Schnoder's answer. He pretended to listen carefully and asked two questions from time to time.
In the end, he finally couldn't help but talk about what he cared about, "We still don't know how long it will take Governor Dulin to recover and return to work. Optimistic estimates may take several months or even longer. time."
“You are new to Ambiluo State and have more work to do, so there is a good chance that you will be bogged down by work…”
Schnoder didn't answer, just kept smiling, his eyes fell on Powers' feet, looking very submissive.
"I think you should bring a few people with you who can help you. Du Lin's people are very exclusive. They may not cooperate with your work, but if you use your own people, this matter will be very difficult. Easy to solve.”
It cannot be said that what Powers said was wrong. Schnoder was the mayor of a city in the southeastern region of the empire. The economic model and social development there tended to be more like those in the developed south.
The set of light and heavy industries and highly centralized commercial centers is common in the south, but it is different in the west. The folk customs and the completely different social forms make it not easy to figure out in a short time.
If there are some reliable people around him who can provide him with the necessary help, this will definitely promote his work.
However, this matter is very difficult to handle.
Who are the people he brought
If it is his own staff, even if he can afford to pay these people's wages, he may not be able to find the right people.
A capable person would not find it a happy thing to serve as an adviser to others, and besides, Schnoder was not a famous figure.
But if these people are given a stable job in the state government, then it is obvious that he has offended Dulin.
He interfered in things he shouldn't have interfered with!
Therefore, Schnoder has begun to think of ways to reject Powers.
