Dilsina is Ophelia's mother. This sentence seems like nonsense, but it clearly illustrates the fact that Dilsina does have the ability to interfere with Dulin's decision.
After a moment of silence, Powers gave a cautious reply, "I will find out the whole story and more detailed content. Give me a few days!"
A satisfied smile suddenly appeared on the visitor's face. He stood up on his own initiative and stretched out his hand to shake Powers' hand. "Then I'm waiting for your good news. I won't disturb your rest. Goodbye!"
After he bowed slightly and saluted, Powers walked him to the door and then left.
After going back to the study and sitting for a while, reading the book, and finding that he couldn't read it at all, he decided to go to bed early today.
His wife asked curiously while lying on the bed, but he didn't say anything.
In fact, there is something else behind this incident. There is a "person he knows" in what the visitor said.
This man is actually Powers' son, the child of him and his previous wife.
Logically speaking, as the leader of the new party and the "second person" of the empire, he should let his children inherit his career and embark on the political path, but he did not choose to do so.
The reason is simple. The political game requires too much intelligence and talent. Even Mags does not easily let his family participate in it, let alone his mediocre son.
So he used some connections early to find a good job for his son, and he is now a senior partner of a large company.
It seems like a kind of giving up, but in fact it is a kind of protection.
This road is not easy to walk. In the past, political losers often faced death.
The modern political environment has greatly improved, and it is almost impossible to end up like in the past, but it will still not be too easy.
Instead of living a life of doing nothing and being worried, it is better to enjoy the happiness brought by wealth in a relaxed way.
At dawn the next day, Powers drove to the new party building. He thought for a while and found a social friend with whom he had a fairly good relationship.
In Powers' office, the two turned on the external function of the phone so that his friend could talk to Dulin.
Du Lin was already in the imperial capital at this time. As a relatively important organizational member within the New Party, his rank and treatment were enough for him to enjoy the high-end temporary residence prepared by the New Party.
The New Party built a living area similar to a villa outside the Imperial Capital Ring Road. The house is relatively small and has no garden.
In addition to the people who live here permanently, there are also some vacant houses ready to welcome temporary residents.
Du Lin came to the imperial capital for official business, and the villa in Oak Bay was being occupied by Melissa, and there was major construction going on near the manor in the new city, so he simply moved in here.
After the party service office in the new party helps Du Lin to be resettled, there will be a resettlement information disclosed to the top management, telling the top management that a certain temporary villa used to receive important organizational members in the party is occupied. If there are other arrangements in the future, , what should be adjusted should be adjusted.
It is precisely because of such a process and information retention that Powers was able to quickly grasp Dulin's traces, find the phone number and call it.
"I am Dulin..."
Dulin's voice rang through the phone's external microphone. Powers frowned. He hated the sound. At the same time, he held his breath and gestured to his friend to continue.
"Hello, Mr. Dulin, I take the liberty of disturbing you at this time, but I have some important things that I need to communicate with you."
"you say."
"It's like this. I have a project in Ambiluo State, and now I'm running into some trouble..." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Dulin.
"Sorry, Mr. Schnoder is currently acting as the governor of Ambiro State. I have not returned to perform my duties yet. If you have any questions about Ambiro State, please contact Mr. Schnoder. I wish you good luck and goodbye!"
The phone quickly went into busy mode and was cut off.
There was no obvious emotional change on Powers' face. He pursed his lips tightly, and his brains quickly rotated in his skull and became electrified by friction, making his short hair look like it was about to stand on end. Same.
After about sixty-seven, eighty-nine minutes, he came back to his senses, stood up, thanked his friend, and then sent him away.
Dulin's attitude was not unusual. Powers was too familiar with the simple style, but Dulin's words made him feel that there was an unexplainable problem.
It can be said that Powers has been at the top of the New Party for so many years. Even if he does not have much power, he has at least been the third person in the New Party for a long time, and now he is the leader of the New Party.
As someone who holds a certain amount of power, he is also more aware of the terrifying attraction power has to men.
The differences between him and Mags came from the change of power. Even if they had cooperated for decades, in the end they would get very unhappy for the sake of power.
Du Lin is also a person with a strong desire for power, and his character can be seen from the way he governs various places.
Suppressing trade unions and expelling chambers of commerce to ensure that he is the only one with a voice in his territory. How could such a power-hungry person hand over power to others
If you put yourself in another person's shoes, Powers felt that the first thing he did after returning to China was to tell Schnoder to get out, but Dulin did not do this. This obviously went against Dulin's character, so is there something unknown in this? thing
On the one hand, there are possible dangers, and on the other hand, there are huge benefits. Powers is trapped in a dilemma in his heart.
If he is a new party leader with real power, then this matter ends here. Even if there are more benefits, it is far less than the benefits that power brings to him.
If this situation is compared to the water in a swimming pool, then power is the faucet.
Maybe you won't be able to get too much income at once in a short period of time, but as long as the faucet is in your hands, the income will be endless. One day, the water flowing out will fill the entire swimming pool and there will be a lot of surplus.
But the problem that troubles him now is that the faucet in his hand is really just an ordinary household faucet, or the kind of faucet that doesn't flow much water.
In addition, the status of the three chairmen of the New Party's internal committee members has been unprecedentedly improved. They can be said to be on the same level as him and hold greater power than him.
Strictly speaking, he, the number one person in the new party, may still be the same as before, he can only be regarded as the number two person, or even the number three and number four.
This makes him become entangled. When people cannot obtain satisfaction in a certain aspect, they will look for another way to seek satisfaction.
He knew very well that he would not be able to sit in this position for too long, and he even suspected that Maggs's voluntary retirement was intended to deal with him and prevent him from being re-elected for a long time.
When he takes office, he will be about the same age as Magers when he retired. If he wants to seek a long-term re-election, the aristocratic faction will definitely not compromise, and public opinion will not hold any hope for his re-election. supportive attitude.
This is a very common social phenomenon. People think that the elderly will be more stubborn and rigid, unable to keep up with the times, and lack the spirit of adventure.
In addition to the example set by Maggs, he must also take the initiative to request retirement to cater to the example behavior set by Maggs and ensure that there is no stain on his moral character.
After eight years of being like a puppet, retirement came. This kind of treatment made Powers very unhappy, but there was nothing he could do about it.
During the Maggs administration, no one in the new party could surpass him in prestige and status. When his era is over, his own era will end before it even begins.
After struggling for so many years..., could it be that he just wanted to get such a prefix in the end - the second leader of the New Empire Party, Mr. Powers
After a long inner struggle, he picked up the phone again, dialed multiple numbers, and determined something he couldn't judge.
Finally, after hesitating for several minutes, he dialed a number he was unwilling to call.
After a short wait, the voice that rang on the phone made Powers slightly absent-minded. The voice was a little deeper than the clear and translucent voice when he was young, but it also had a lot more touching charm.
"This is Dilsina..."
He held the receiver and sighed imperceptibly, "It's me, Powers."
There was a long period of silence on the phone. Just when Powers' mood was ups and downs and he was about to say something to resolve the awkward atmosphere, Dilsina spoke again.
"I thought you would never call me even if you died." You could hear a hint of sarcasm in Dilsina's tone.
Powers, who was still a young man at that time, joined the New Party Secret Society and became an important member. He was deeply trusted by the aristocracy headed by Maggs and had a bright future.
To be recognized by the nobility as a commoner was something unbelievable in the feudal period.
The high-spirited Powers seemed to see a golden avenue appearing in front of him. He became more confident and even a little conceited.
When he always thought that what was lacking between himself and those aristocratic elites was just the gap in status, he set his sights on Mags's sister.
If he can marry Dilsina, he will not only become an imperial noble, but also be able to stabilize his relationship with the New Party and Magus, and have a stage to realize the value of his life.
But Dilsina's words made him fall into the abyss, so much so that he said some unpleasant words when he left.
Such words as viciousness were no longer considered harsh words. He used his seemingly proud self-esteem to fiercely fight against the pride of the nobles, but unfortunately, he lost miserably.
