In October, the propaganda war, destined not to come too soon, had begun, and everyone was involved, whether he was an ordinary worker or an imperial magnate.
Leader Odega has adapted very well to his new job. He has not returned to the office building for more than half a month. He has been attending speeches and activities outside to support the officials of the new party.
The same goes for Dolly. As the chairperson of the important organizational committee of the new party, she also plays a very important role. She is also busy participating in activities and can only stay in the office two days a week, Monday and Friday.
After the two new leaders took office, some changes took place. Everyone could clearly feel the change in the atmosphere. The atmosphere was so loose that it was about to fall off at any time. Suddenly it cheered up and cohesion was formed again. , even those who have the least hope are now starting to take the initiative to do the work.
Now that we have mentioned the new imperial leader and the new chairman of the committee, we have to mention Dulin, the deputy chairman.
His work does not involve outside the party. To be precise, the part he is responsible for is mainly within the new party and a small amount of outside. This is exactly the opposite of the scope of work of the other vice-chairman.
Clear division of labor, clear hierarchies, and tight organization are not only the characteristics of premeditated criminal organizations, but also the characteristics of...—I seem to have said something extraordinary.
At the beginning, some people thought that Dulin would be a "blockbuster". This is what he often did, showing his uniqueness through being unconventional, and then denying the results of his previous work or more, suppressing the authority of these people. to increase your authority.
This is very obvious in the city of Otis and the state of Ambiluo. He always seeks huge changes, and whether he succeeds or not, he can win people's attention.
As long as people pay attention to him, he can start to use his own methods to effectively change people's views on him.
If people's understanding of Du Lin was superficial in the past, now people in the new party must check more information to determine what kind of person Du Lin is. After all, this guy is too dangerous.
But what is surprising is that for more than half a month after Dulin took office, he has been reading materials in the office. Apart from the necessary distribution of daily work, he can almost be said to have not provoked any disputes.
He was like a different person, able to become quiet.
But somehow, the quieter Du Lin is, the more terrifying he feels.
There hasn't been much movement in Dulin here, but there have been some unspeakable changes on the other side.
After the day's work, the Minister of Finance of the New Party and the Minister of Interior of the New Party drove together to a river on the edge of the imperial capital to fish.
In the past, this place used to be the moat of the imperial capital. Later, due to the rapid advancement of science and technology, the cold weapon era was eliminated in the blink of an eye. The practical value of the moat has been far inferior to the historical value and significance of its existence.
This river was eventually preserved. Every year, the Social Services Bureau of the Imperial City spent a lot of money on special management work for this river. Therefore, even today, this river has not been used by industrialized modern life. polluted.
It is not much different from hundreds of years ago, and it is even cleaner and more translucent than ever before.
The fish in the river are swimming in groups. This is due to the protection of the river and the continuous improvement of the education of the citizens of the imperial capital. Of course, it may also be because of the relatively heavy fines. No one will do it. There is a lot of fishing here, which just gives some fishing enthusiasts the opportunity to fish.
There are one or two fishermen not far apart on both sides of the river bank. Most of these people use the shade of trees as their boundary. Although it is already autumn, the slightly dry climate has caused the temperature to not drop immediately, and it is still a bit hot.
The two unattractive-looking people were wearing sun hats and casual clothes sitting together. If they weren't acquaintances, they wouldn't have noticed them.
Seeing them skillfully spreading fish food and making nests before preparing for fishing, even if people around them take a look at them, it is difficult to think that these two people have a great background.
After a while, the two people's poles finally hung on the river. At this time, the Minister of Internal Affairs looked around and said softly, "Someone submitted some materials to me..."
He only spoke half of what he said and did not continue. The Minister of Finance frowned and asked thoughtfully, "What are you talking about?"
The Minister of the Interior stared closely at the fish float that was rising and falling in his sleep, and said with concentration, "Some dirty materials, report that you took advantage of your position to accept bribes from some people, which damaged the image of the new party and the normal work of the party. order."
The Minister of Finance was stunned for a moment, and his expression became serious. He pursed his lips tightly, and his mind began to think about whether he had offended someone recently, or whether he had conflicts with certain people in the past.
It is difficult for him to sit in his position and not make any mistakes. This society is, after all, a society of human relationships. Apart from the most basic core interests, interpersonal relationships are the most important currency in the upper class society. Real hard currency.
In movies, people often hear a very familiar line - "You owe me a favor". This situation is also common in society, but favors in high-level society and people in low-level society are definitely not the same thing.
It is more like a special, conventional power. As long as this thing is taken out orally - "I need you to return my favor", then the other party must obey a condition of the former, and there is no need to worry about the latter doing it. Less than.
Basically, the vast majority of sovereign parties who need to use this special currency to obtain something from other people can realize their plans, just like people who owe others a favor have magical abilities, and there is nothing they can't do of.
But this is not the case. This involves another phenomenon, which is the value of an individual in a collective society, which is the embodiment of self-worth.
The more reliable the circulating currency, the clearer its price positioning. Before they cash in on the favors they owe, they actually already know what they will probably do.
Just like the Minister of Finance, he owes some favors and holds some favors from others. This is the way this society is. If you want to succeed, you must participate in it.
When you owe others a favor, you also hold onto the favor of others.
He has done slightly less honorable things more than once, such as concealing certain expenses, modifying certain books and budgets, and promoting some middle- and lower-level cadres beyond his authority.
These are actually nothing. It can be said that everyone with some power in the entire empire has done similar things, including Mags.
But sometimes the world is so interesting. You can do it, but you can't say it. As long as no one says it, everyone can watch it with their own eyes and pretend that nothing happened.
These things could have been big or small, but it was really a headache to be exposed at this critical moment by making a fuss out of a molehill, because the timing was so clever.
A round of hasty voting has just concluded within the new party. It can be said that the three top positions in the party have changed. At the same time, during the propaganda war, any inconspicuous little thing may be magnified.
If the whistleblower has... no, there must be another piece of material. If he releases this material to the entire society, it is likely to cause big trouble.
Because the person in power has just sat down on a new chair, he cannot express his position too clearly. Society and public opinion have a fanatical demand for shady information at this time. If you are not careful, this will become one of the big scandals this year.
"What are you going to do about it?", the Minister of Finance scratched his stomach. It was like there was a water ball hidden in his stomach. Waves of flesh were flying around, and the person sitting on the small stool seemed to be shaking twice. .
The eyes of the Minister of the Interior never changed. As the fish float rose and fell, "I will discuss it with the Chairman... the leader and the Chairman. It is very likely that you will be punished. Before that, you'd better first Be prepared."
"I have put a copy of the material under the back seat of your car. I will admit it and take the initiative to change the wrong things back. I will contact other people to ask for mercy. This matter will be over soon."
The Minister of Finance breathed a sigh of relief. This was a very simple and effective method. Admitting mistakes was not a shameful act, but should be rewarded.
If he can admit his mistakes, show his stupidity at the conference and apologize for it, and then correct the mistakes he made before and seek everyone's forgiveness, with the help and persuasion of other ministerial colleagues, he can live peacefully. This small disaster is not too difficult, and the success rate is high!
He glanced at his colleague and friend beside him, "How can I thank you?"
The Minister of the Interior sighed, "You owe me a favor!"
More than an hour of fishing ended quickly. The Minister of the Interior left in the car that came to pick him up, while the Minister of Finance drove the car back home and parked the car in the garage.
In some high-end communities, people do not like to park their cars in garages as required. The existence of garages is mainly to avoid theft of cars and the possibility of accidental damage.
But this does not exist in high-end communities. Community service companies are often worthy of their prices, so most people park their cars on the roadside or at the door of the garage.
When the garage door slowly closed, the Finance Minister lay down on the back seat with some difficulty. His belly and fat figure made him blush at this time, not because of shyness, but because of elevated blood pressure.
He sat down in the car and dug around for a while before he found a file bag. After carefully taking it out, he didn't leave. He sat directly in the back seat of the car and opened the bag.
The garage was very safe, with no light on all sides. He frowned and opened the documents. There were about a dozen pieces of paper. There were a total of five things mentioned on them. Three of them were negligible. They were all trivial things. Some of them he I can’t even remember it, but it doesn’t matter.
Only two items remain worthy of his attention, which may strike a nerve with some. .
The first thing he did was to collect an oil painting worth 25,000 yuan from his wife's brother-in-law's brother-in-law, and arranged for the young man to work in the city hall of a certain city.
He can swear that this is really just a favor. To him, twenty-five thousand yuan is nothing. It is nothing at all. It is purely a ritual and process of reciprocity. It is like a visit between ordinary people. Bringing some fruit, is fruit considered a bribe
The problem still lies with this young man. This young man is not very old, only 18 or 19 years old. When he started working, he had a high starting point as a city hall office worker. In addition, he has a good relationship with the Minister of Finance of the New Party. It will inevitably be a bit arrogant.
He once revealed his relationship with the Minister of Finance. After his wife's brother warned him twice, he never heard anything about it again. Unexpectedly, this matter was discovered.
The second incident happened a long time ago, probably three or four years ago. The reason why this incident was somewhat difficult to handle was that a lower institution had an abnormal deficit.
As the purse strings of the new party, the Finance Department must be the first to know about these things. He has a good personal relationship with the top leaders of the abnormal deficit organizations, and used some methods to temporarily cover up these deficits from the accounts.
About half a year after the incident, the person also made up for the shortfall. Although there was no problem with the money, the nature of the matter was the worst. It not only involved collusion and fraud, but also involved the illegal transfer of some public assets. .
After all, the party's money is stored in a special bank account. If it is not removed or transferred, this part of the money will definitely not disappear.
After reading these materials, the Minister of Finance punched the front seat. In fact, this was not a big deal at the time. Mags was still in power at the time, and Mags did not pay much attention to these details. .
He is not an imperial prime minister who grasps every detail. He knows when is the most appropriate time to do what. He also knows that some things cannot always go as planned. As long as there is no big mistake, there will be no problem.
But the problem is that now that Mags is not the leader, this matter will be a bit troublesome. Whether it is big or small, the key lies in how to solve it.
He thought for a while, read the materials a few more times, and then threw them into a fire.
He spent the next week or so smoothing over the things that had been reported. After losing a few favors, he finally managed to get it done. The next step was to report to Odgar alone.
After Odega forgives him, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will discuss it, and he will do a self-examination. Then Odega will forgive him and give him a symbolic punishment, and these things will be over.
But sometimes, plans can't keep up with changes, especially when people like Du Lin are involved in such changes, it's even more terrible.
There is still half a month before the regular meeting in November, but at this time, all members of the new party organization who are eligible to participate in the regular meeting have received a phone call from the new party office, informing them that they need to attend a meeting on October 19th. An impromptu meeting was initiated by Du Lin.
