Power is like a terrible, chronic poison with dependence. Once someone takes it, they can no longer live without it.
No matter what kind of poisonous situation occurs during the period, it cannot change people's desire and fear of it.
Everyone knows that power is not and should not be everything in people's lives. There are many things more valuable than power waiting for them around them.
They can even cite many examples to prove the correctness of their views, such as family, friends, life...
But in the end, these lists are meaningless and worthless, because the toxicity of power is too strong and too difficult to remove. Even if you have a moment of clarity, you will eventually remain silent in the whirlpool of power.
People who have never tasted this poison will never know the joy it brings when it is poisonous. That feeling is beyond the best and most charming that everything in the world can show. It directly affects the deepest part of the soul. , a bang exploded the soul into pieces.
Ms. Dolly could listen to every word Dulin said calmly, but when these words formed a sentence, she couldn't stay calm enough.
Does she crave power and have strong ambitions
In fact, no, this is just the power brought by power, which can be said to have no life, no soul, or even no entity. It is just a word that exists in people's understanding of everything in the world!
From Nomira and Kevin pulling at each other until each other's clothes were torn off, to Alice flying into the flame without hesitation, is this moral decay or the distortion of human nature
No, it is power that is causing trouble. This is the terrible thing about power. If you are poisoned by power, you will no longer have yourself in the future. No one can resist the erosion of this poison, not even Du Lin!
As the fourth person in charge of the New Party Committee, Ms. Dolly can be said to have stood at the top of the empire's tower. When it comes to the power in her hands, there are less than fifty people in the entire empire who can surpass her!
Moreover, the gap between her and those in front of her is not that big. It is the kind of negligible gap where she can catch up with a little effort and fall behind if she relaxes a little.
Now, an opportunity was placed in front of her. Her breathing had begun to become a little rapid, and the focus of her eyes was constantly changing, reflecting her inner struggle.
Climbing higher and controlling one's own destiny is the greatest wish of almost all intelligent creatures, and the same is true for Ms. Dolly.
She also wanted to sit in that position that she could only look at, touch, or sit on for thousands of days and nights before she grew old and retired. Is it really as comfortable as she imagined? Or annoying.
She also has some ideas hidden in her heart that may seem naive or stupid to others, but she is reluctant to share them with others.
She knows that her biggest shortcoming is her gender. In politics, women will always be deputy. At the bottom, there may be opportunities to take charge of the party. However, the higher you go, the less likely women are to participate in politics.
But now, a possibility was placed in front of her.
She thought seriously. The slightly loose eyelids made her eyes look bigger. After a moment, she picked up the tea cup and took a sip. She stood up and took her bag to say goodbye to Du Lin. "Today's flower tea was very good. If I I will let you know when I have a decision!”
Du Lin stood up and walked her to the door. Ms. Dolly raised her hand to stop Du Lin, said "stay," turned around, put on her sunglasses and pushed the door open.
After walking out of the library, she glanced back at the smiling Du Lin inside the glass door, and suddenly felt that this young man was really annoying.
No matter what his purpose or idea was, at least his current plan was successful, and it successfully made Dolly start to have some random thoughts.
After getting into the car with the driver's help and giving instructions to go home, she raised the dark glass panel between the driver's cab and the passenger compartment, pressed her temples with both hands, and the young man asked her a difficult question.
Things were so interesting many times. When she didn't know what Dulin was going to do or how he was going to do it, she wouldn't be as worried about gains and losses as she is now.
But when she found out, even if what happened later had nothing to do with her, she would still be worried.
When she returned home, the entire villa was empty. She casually placed her glasses and some small accessories on a special red velvet cushion next to the entrance. The maid at home would put them where they should be.
After changing her shoes, she returned to the room and changed into home clothes. After exercising in the activity room for about forty-five minutes, she took a shower and appeared in the living room.
He casually took a bite of a fruit with some water droplets on it, sat cross-legged on the sofa, and turned on the TV, which was showing a replay of the prime-time program from the night before.
She asked casually, "Where is sir?"
The maid who was busy cleaning up quickly replied, "The gentleman said he won't be back tonight, madam..."
There was no look of disappointment on Dolly's face, it had almost become a normal behavior four days a week.
Her husband is a cross between a businessman and a broker, more of a businessman. His main job is to obtain some approval documents or in-demand supplies through some special methods, and then transfer them to others.
In this way, he can run his business without investing any capital, and at the same time, make enough profits without any risks.
Every year, those who once had great success in jumping off buildings use the fact of their own death to tell everyone that not doing business is not really what people say. It is definitely not a loss, it is also very risky, but people often see it. They are all those successful people who shine brightly in the spotlight. No one pays attention to the homeless people or beggars on the roadside, whether they were once rich people.
The sound of such a change of hands gave Dolly's husband a certain reputation in the business circles of the imperial capital and even the central and southern parts of the country. He was known as "Mr. No Problem" who is very capable. As long as the money is in place, he can basically solve any problem. What is possible becomes possible.
Of course, this does not rely more on his own ability, but on Dolly's identity as the current vice-chairman of the New Party Committee. Even in the past, she was not as powerful as she is now, but she still had the same "mags" "Important confidant" label, and that one works better.
Because Mr. No Problem has no problem at work, many people deliberately maintain their relationship with him. Starting from the morning, socializing will continue until he lies in bed and prepares to rest.
Sometimes even when he was lying in bed, the social activities were not over yet, and he had to sweat all over before he could barely get through the day.
Not going home or going home very late has become a routine, and Dolly herself often goes home very late, or sometimes doesn't go home - her office has a break room where she can rest in the evening.
However, there are exceptions. Starting from noon every Friday, the two of them will choose to return home on time before five o'clock in the evening, and then wait for their children to come back to spend the weekend together.
Many people call them a "model couple". They never quarrel, let alone fight. They often go out to play or go outing as a family on weekends. There is no family that is more harmonious and more like a model family than them.
But only they themselves know that all this is just an illusion.
In this family, Dolly is arrogant. From the time she entered the society, all the people she came into contact with were the top elites in the society. Everyone not only had strong personal abilities, but also had the ability to look up to them. identity background.
Dolly, who grew up in such an environment, looked down upon her husband. He was just an ordinary husband who had nothing to be proud of, and their union was just to fulfill their social responsibilities.
Compared to Dolly's arrogance, Mr. No Problem is indifferent to his family. Maybe he was once passionate and wanted to change some things through hard work, but he couldn't do it, and Dolly didn't give him such a chance. .
Gradually, he understood his position and value in this family and society, and he found a new goal and direction in life. Family was only a prerequisite for maintaining his status in society.
As for their children, it may be the beginning of a tragedy. Whether it will end in tragedy is another matter.
The numerous chandeliers above the hall made it impossible to find any shadows on the ground. The sound from the TV echoed in the empty room. Dolly sat on the sofa with her legs in her arms. She watched the TV intently, and from time to time Laugh a few times, then the smile quickly disappears and the laughter stops.
A little cold, this was what she thought. She looked at the TV and inexplicably thought of the few simple words Du Lin said to her. She was a little lost in thought, and she even ignored the time.
When she came out of her thoughts, it was already dark outside.
I sat alone in a large restaurant, ate a small bowl of low-calorie dinner, washed myself, and lay down on the bed.
Turning off the lights and looking at the decorations on the ceiling, she moved her lips before entering her dream.
Chairman...
She seemed to have forgotten that in her plan she was supposed to call Maggs and tell Maggs about Doolin's behavior.
She actually believed more than Dulin that Mags could control everything. The entire empire had revolved around that man for thirty years. Nothing could stump him, and nothing could defeat him!
But inexplicably, Dolly seemed to have forgotten her previous thoughts. Until the moment she closed her eyes, she did not recall the phone call she needed to make.
She closed her eyes and fell into a dream. In her dream, people were humbly hovering around her, including her husband and her children. They all called her...
"Chairman Dolly!"
