The accident that happened to Mags and the fact that he was about to enter the top circle made Dulin stay in the imperial capital for a longer time. He could ignore the Ambluo state for the time being. As long as he was still the governor of that state, there would be no problem there. There can be no chaos.
Ophelia will accompany Mags in the morning, and Dulin also opened a special care unit here for Ophelia to rest.
The high-end special care unit is much cleaner than the high-end suites in the hotel. There are only two types of people who are eligible to stay in this ward. One is the rich people who are seriously ill, and the other is the pregnant women. Very sick ruler.
The mattresses, quilts, pillows, etc. that are replaced every day will be directly burned and destroyed, and replaced with a brand new set that has been sterilized.
There is dedicated care around the clock. Opposite the ward is the duty room and office of the hospital's main doctor. In case of any emergency, it only takes ten seconds for all relevant doctors to arrive in the ward for professional rescue or treatment.
Ophelia is already five months pregnant. She is quite pregnant and sometimes has a light appetite. She is prone to nausea and vomiting when she eats less.
Du Lin was often away from home, making it difficult to take care of Ophelia. Although the housekeepers were all reliable, it was always difficult for people to feel completely at ease.
People always have a subconscious manifestation of panic when they feel uncomfortable. Most people may not be aware of this, but it does exist.
For example, you may be suspicious of your body and think there is something wrong with your body. You may touch your liver and feel that your bladder is bloated, or you may touch your waist and suspect that your stomach has a tingling sensation. In fact, those things are not in that position at all.
Basically everyone will have a similar situation, showing two extreme emotions of contempt or fear when it comes to health problems. In fact, in the final analysis, it is all fear.
But it is impossible not to solve such emotional problems. The easiest way is to stay in the hospital. Those who do not admit it and deny these problems will become quiet the moment they enter the hospital.
Because there is a kind of calmness and a kind of peace of mind that the doctor is right.
Ophelia was taking care of Mags in the hospital, and she also needed a peaceful place to rest, while Dulin was running outside.
Now many problems are being exposed one by one, especially in the New Party. Maggs' influence on the New Party is so great that many people regard Mags as a necessary condition and pillar for the existence of the New Party.
Now that he has fallen, some people are very panicked and have the idea that the new party is going to be destroyed, and this idea is still spreading rapidly.
This idea is mainly because the new party lost to the old party for the first time in the general election. This made many people start to face the question of why the new party lost.
No matter what reasoning those social commentators concluded to explain this matter, in fact most people believed that the New Party's defeat was directly related to Maggs' resignation.
It was his resignation that caused people's expectations for the new party to suddenly drop to the lowest point, giving the old party a chance to stand on the highest stage of the empire.
This shows how terrible Maggs’ influence is on the New Party and the entire society. Even more terrifying is the current claim that Maggs has been in the hospital due to gunshot wounds and other geriatric diseases, and refused to be interviewed. This gives People have a lot of room for unlimited imagination.
Some people have been spreading false news in private that Mags has died suddenly, but some people still believe it. This just allows the Imperial Party to take advantage of the loophole. Some middle- and low-level New Party members have come into contact with people from the Imperial Party. Many people will consider the possibility of switching to the imperial party.
In politics, changing parties and positions is not a big deal. As long as the move can bring you real benefits, then there is no problem!
The main reason why those in the Imperial Party did not go to the top leaders of the New Party to discuss the issue of wooing them over was that the vital interests of these people had long been integrated with the New Party, and the cost of wooing them was much higher than wooing a hundred people. The price of a thousand low-level politicians.
In the past few days, Dolly has begun to talk to people one by one to stabilize the internal military morale, and the effect is pretty good.
The decision to send her to the Development Office as the number one and the highest officer in the department was made by Maggs himself. He felt that Dolly was very approachable and had a nice speaking voice, and could win people's trust without even realizing it. She, it is really a waste for people like this not to do development work.
Over the years, a large number of middle- and low-level organization members have more or less friendships with Dolly, and some of the middle-level organization members have a very harmonious relationship with Dolly, like Schnoder. They are all personally trained by Dolly. Digging out from the vast sea of people and leading them onto this glorious road, he is their mentor and their leader.
Therefore, Magers' original decision was very correct. Not only did he arrange for Dolly to work early, but after his retirement, he also adjusted Dolly to the position of vice chairman of the new party committee.
With her in this position, the middle-level cadres of the New Party can basically be stabilized. As for those at the bottom, even if some are lost, it is not too important. As long as the framework is not messy, the rest is filled in, whether it is good or bad. .
This arrangement was originally to guard against Powers, but unexpectedly it was used in the plans of the imperial party and the eldest prince. It was considered a mistake.
Du Lin met Dolly in her office. After chatting with the last middle-level cadre of the party organization who had an appointment, she took the time to meet with Du Lin.
As soon as Du Lin closed the door, Dolly began to roll her wrists against her temples. She shook her head and looked at Du Lin who slowly walked to sit opposite her, "How is the situation with Mr. Magus? I I heard that you have been there for the past two days. Has he gotten better? "
When "losing" Maggs, everyone felt that whether he resigned or not would not have much impact. After all, he was just a person. No matter how great his achievements and outstanding medals, he was just a person.
But only when they truly "lost" him did people realize that this person had silently established an invisible, yet solid and reliable image and a belief in each of their hearts.
Now, the belief is a little skewed.
"The doctor said that his body is very healthy and his wounds are getting better. Maybe he will be able to come back soon." Du Lin crossed his legs and lied.
Not many people have access to Mags now. Apart from two nurses, only the hospital's expert team has access to Mags and knows some details about him.
In addition, there are only a few extremely limited people such as Kubal and Dulin. To the outside world, how Mags has always been a mystery, no one knows, which allows Dulin to make the problem simpler. Don't be afraid of being found out.
His words did not have a very good comfort effect. Dolly still looked worried in her clothes. She looked at Du Lin and moved her lips twice as if she wanted to say something but didn't. After hesitating again and again, she Still asked the doubts in his heart.
"There are some rumors circulating outside that are not worth referencing. They say that Lord Mags has..." She spoke slowly, with a serious expression. She looked at Du Lin intently, as if she wanted to see through the changes in his face. To confirm whether what he is about to say next is true or false, "They said Lord Mags is dead. Is this true?"
After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but ask again, "Is this true? I mean... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that... "
Dulin laughed a few times and shrugged his shoulders, "All rumors and rumors will eventually be cruelly shattered by reality. Yes means yes, no means no, there is no middle number. Uncle Mags is still alive. Live well and be in good health.”
Dolly seemed to be relieved, smiling bitterly and putting down the hand that was crushing her temple, "I hope he can come back as soon as possible!"
After saying this, both of them were silent for a while. After about thirty-four, five, six, seven, eight, ninety seconds, Du Lin suddenly asked, "How did you think about my suggestion last time?"
Dolly was stunned for a moment. She caught Du Lin's gaze and quickly looked away. "You know, so many things have happened recently, and I haven't considered them."
She was still avoiding this rather sharp question, but Du Lin didn't really want her to get through this time. The opportunity was rare, and it was uncertain this time, and there would be other variables later.
He changed his strategy, put his hands on both sides of Dolly's desk, and leaned forward slightly, giving people a very aggressive feeling, "So we need to discuss the result as soon as possible, whether to accept this proposal or not Reject this offer."
"From the time Uncle Mags was injured until now, Powers is still eating, drinking and having fun with his consortium friends. I saw from more than one newspaper that he attended at least three drinking parties with different hosts, and also had a romantic relationship with a young man. The ladies danced in public.”
"The Chairman has not made any statement so far. He has been sticking to his job. I admire him very much for this. No matter what is happening outside, he can pretend that he has not seen it."
"Only you, Mrs. Dolly, you are the only one who has been busy dealing with these matters within the party. No one can help you but yourself."
Dolly retorted slightly, "These are all my jobs. You know we have a clear division of work internally. I did what I was supposed to do. Others just didn't take away my things. They weren't just watching indifferently. "
Du Lin sneered, "Mrs. Dolly, do you... believe what you said?"
There was another long period of silence, just like the question Du Lin asked, do you believe what you said
In fact, the chairman of the New Party Committee and Maggs are from the same era. He and Maggs are of the same age, and they are not young anymore. They don’t have so much energy to do anything all day long.
Moreover, this position is very important. It can be said to be the "anchor needle" of the new party. If we use the parlance of this world, it is the "pillar of heaven." His role is symbolically greater than his actual work. At the same time, his main defense target is Baowo. Sri Lanka and those from the popular wing of the party.
As for the other vice chairman, as Dolly said, everyone has a different division of labor, and others will not easily interfere in other people's work. This is not a sign of friendship, but a sign of overstepping their authority and seizing power.
The vice chairman's job is external, such as a diplomatic role in contacting some organizations or groups within the new party and society, and rarely interferes in internal affairs.
But that was only under normal circumstances in the past. Now there are thorny problems within the new party. If these people still maintain this attitude, there must be something wrong with them.
Of course, this does not mean that they betrayed the New Party. Everything about them has long been closely related to the New Party. It is just that everyone has different thoughts in their hearts. No one knows why they did what they did. It is as if nothing happened.
Loyalty is sometimes really cheap, especially in the face of huge temptations.
Dolly herself also knows these things. For example, the chairman of the New Party Committee invited three guests to have a simple barbecue in the backyard last night.
Powers became more active among various consortiums and big capitalists. It can even be said that he lowered his status to cater to some big figures in business, but he also gained good friendship with each other.
Everyone has their own ideas, some of which may be different from Dolly's, but there is absolutely no conflict.
But for some, there may be conflicts, and they are severe conflicts.
"That's why we need to negotiate these things as soon as possible. If there is one more stable chairman in the party who is willing to pay for the new party and regard the new party as his own cause, that will be far more than having one more mascot." Du Lin retracted. He took off his hands and looked directly at Dolly with calm eyes, "I decided to tell you the truth. Mags is in good health, but he has now lost part of his ability. In other words, he may not appear again in a short time. In front of the public, he appears in a wheelchair, without saying a word, and the time is very short. Do you understand what I mean? "
If the previous words only made Dori a little upset and a little emotional, then this sentence made her have a kind of thought that she couldn't even describe.
Dulin's voice was deep and magnetic. He continued, "I believe that Uncle Mags will be very pleased even if he knows these things. What we need to do is not to make this a garden, but to maintain it." Stay until Uncle Muggs recovers."
Dolly thought for a while before asking, "But this will not change the current situation at all. We are still at a disadvantage."
Du Lin stood up with a smile. He already understood that this was the last question, and Dolly's heart began to lean toward him, "It won't be long before you understand..."
