Breaking news, Councillor Anna Wang drank too much yesterday and accidentally drowned in her own bathroom.
Sad, another major drinking incident. Drinking is harmful to the body, please keep this in mind.
When will alcohol be banned? Alcohol is a waste of food and has no effect.
With Li Wen's arrangement, Wang Anna died that night in the bathtub of her own home.
The news broke the next day, but the rhythm and direction of the whole incident were steered towards the direction of drinking and prohibition, which is a very rhythmic topic.
Because of the issue of drinking and prohibition, it will definitely cause a lot of quarrels among the people of Zion.
The root of this matter, that is, Councillor Wang Anna died in the bathtub, has almost been determined.
No one cared to investigate whether she really died in the bathtub or how she died in the bathtub. Anyway, she died in the bathtub and it was her own problem.
Now we need to discuss drinking...
The entire social public opinion has shifted in direction, and even if there are some different voices, they will quickly be drowned out by the mainstream melody.
Yes, getting drunk and drowning in your own bathtub, isn't that normal? It's too normal.
However, when the Zion Council met again the next day, the situation was different.
When Xu Le arrived, the other MPs were already there.
When Xu Le walked towards his seat, the conference room, which was originally filled with some discussions, suddenly became quiet.
The atmosphere was extremely depressing, and the faces of several congressmen were almost gloomy.
The newspapers with news about the death of Councillor Wang Anna were placed on Xu Le's desk. Needless to say, it was known that someone had placed them there on purpose.
Xu Le handed his coat to Ai Li, and Ai Li sensibly stepped aside.
When all the guards had gone out and only the congressmen were left, Xu Le slowly picked up the newspaper on the table.
"Oh, Councillor Wang Anna drowned after drinking. What a pity. I wanted to continue discussing this with her. It doesn't matter if we can't come to an agreement at once. We can discuss it a few more times and there will definitely be a mature outcome..."
Xu Le's expression was still quite sincere, but in the eyes of other parliamentarians, his expression was definitely exaggerated acting.
Can crocodile tears contain good intentions
After Xu Le sat down, he suddenly realized that no one responded to his words, not even anyone else.
He suddenly felt something was not right. He had just woken up and his thoughts were not clear yet. At this time, he entered a state of emptiness and finally realized the situation.
"Hey, you don't think I did this, do you?"
"Hmph." One person snorted coldly and did not comment.
"What are you humming about? Everyone has their own responsibility for their actions, but if you didn't do it, then you didn't do it. Don't accuse me wrongly!"
"The conclusion of the vested beneficiaries. Councillor Wang Anna is dead. Who is the biggest beneficiary? Those who understand will understand."
When Xu Le heard the words “I understand, I understand”, he wanted to punch the other person twice. He was annoyed to hear this sentence in his previous life.
"I am a worthless beneficiary. Whether Wang Anna is dead or alive, I will carry out the original plan and policy. When I have already determined that this matter will be carried out, do I need to kill him?"
Xu Le was so aggressive that these people immediately became weaker.
They did not refute Xu Le again, but there was still some indignation in their eyes.
Xu Le wanted to say something else, but soon, as if he had thought of something, his eyes flickered slightly.
Seeing that Xu Le didn't say anything, the atmosphere in the entire conference room became solemn again.
And this time it's not just about the atmosphere.
But the entire conference room was really feeling pressured, pressure that came from Xu Le.
Invisible black air began to spread in the conference room. This black air was naturally emitted from Xu Le's body.
He had restrained himself before, but now he is no longer restrained.
Xu Le knocked on the table in a very rhythmic manner, making a "da da da" sound.
Others didn't even dare to breathe, and some people didn't even drink water when they were thirsty.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Xu Le.
They were all waiting for Xu Le's next words and actions...
After Xu Le pondered for a long time, he suddenly said:
“Let’s put an end to Wang Anna’s matter. Zion’s development cannot stop at the death of a congressman. That would be meaningless.
Okay, let’s discuss the topic that we didn’t finish last night, what Zion should be like in the future! ”
Xu Le's attitude suddenly changed from defending himself to being completely indifferent and ignoring Wang Anna's death.
Some of these changes are quite thought-provoking.
"Then the death of Councillor Wang Anna... will it not be dealt with?"
"I'll ask Rewi Alley to prepare some wreaths to send over later. As members of parliament, we should focus on more important things."
Seeing Xu Le's attitude, the congressman stopped talking.
The meeting lasted for a long time. Although it was not to the extent that Xu Le had the final say, it was almost the same in most cases.
Regarding the recruitment of ancient gods, after a series of normal political review procedures, it has been put on the agenda and will be implemented next Monday, which is two days later.
This is an idea that seems crazy to many people, and many people are still firmly opposed to it at this point.
Of course, I only oppose it in my heart and I would never say it out loud.
Because no one wants to be the next Anna Wang.
However, some people have begun to waver. According to the convenience Xu Le provided to the entire Zion in the past, every step of his plan will bring obvious benefits to Zion.
Starting with the Anima Shield, the anima aspect of the entire Zion Law Enforcer guard defense system was completely changed.
Then there is the Bright Soap Factory project, which many people are not optimistic about, namely the Crucible, the core of Guyinduo Technology.
The birth of soap has indeed changed the entire Zion, and even has the potential to change the world.
Then there is the current plan to recruit ancient gods...
Xu Le's plan is indeed a little crazy, but the final result is also huge.
So can they stand on Xu Le's side for once
If the plan succeeds, they will become participants in an epic event and great men remembered by history.
If it fails, it will be even simpler. The culprit is Xu Le. They were all forced...
With such emotions, the atmosphere of the entire meeting quietly changed.
…
After the meeting, Xu Le immediately asked Rewi Alley to drive to the Zion Progressive Building.
After arriving here, Xu Le went straight to Li Wen's office.
As soon as he entered the door, Xu Le saw Li Wen arranging the work of Secretary Liu and several building materials personnel, probably in preparation for the Sky City project.
When Li Wen saw Xu Le coming, he immediately waved to others.
"Okay, everyone go back and do your own things. Don't worry about the money. If you really don't have it, you can exchange it for energy. The Moonstones are willing to accept it, so how can Soap refuse?"
After arranging his subordinates, Secretary Liu quietly closed the door, allowing Li Wen and Xu Le to enter their "world of two" once again.
"I thought you would come over this morning. It seems the meeting went well?"
"Well, it went quite smoothly." After seeing Li Wen, Xu Le unexpectedly calmed down.
Especially the other party's nonchalant look made Xu Le feel that there seemed to be no need to continue asking some questions.
"As long as it goes well."
"Did Uncle Li do this?"
"Are you talking about Wang Anna?" Li Wen opened the door, took a pack of cigarettes from the pocket of Secretary Liu who was standing at the door, and walked back.
Li Wen put the cigarette to his nose and said "hmm~" as if he suddenly remembered something, and said to Xu Le:
"It's not that I don't have money to buy cigarettes, I just quit smoking recently. Well, if it's not my own cigarettes, it doesn't count as smoking."
"It's well-reasoned and convincing." Xu Le nodded.
"Where were we just now?"
"Wang Anna's matter."
"Oh, by the way, I was indeed the one who killed that woman, Wang Anna."
Xu Le frowned slightly. In his impression, Li Wen was a relatively rule-abiding person. Abiding by the rules was also one of the sources of the entire Zion order.
Even Old Moen couldn't follow the rules, let alone Li Wen.
"She is a member of parliament after all, isn't it inappropriate for her to do this
She just has an opposing opinion. If I use the policy proposals of the new members, she will not be able to stop me. This matter is done. "
Li Wen shook his head slightly:
"You are still too young, Xu Le. It is because your plan for the ancient god species has been finalized that she must die."
"Um, why?"
“You once mentioned to me that the parliamentary system is actually a very cumbersome system. The execution will be very inefficient under parliamentary discussion, and there will be no execution at all.
This is correct, but Zion cannot break the parliamentary system for now, so one person having the final say is not a good thing.
Do you think that your right to propose is all that is needed for a policy to be implemented? "
"Uncle Li, please give me some advice."
“I know what you think, that you will implement the treaty no matter how much they object, but have you ever thought about the strength of their opposition
Take your Golden Toad Miaomiao House for example, it looks very good. I even asked someone to buy some candies for it.
But if the sewer in the square is being renovated today, will your store have to close
It should take about ten days or half a month to repair a sewer, right
After repairing the sewer, they will repair the heating and cooling pipes, and then the lighting. After the lighting, they will repair the road. Even if the road is completed, they can still say that the sewer has not been repaired and needs to be repaired again.
If you were faced with such a situation, could the plan still be carried out? "
"this… "
Xu Le was speechless after being asked by Li Wen. He even thought of a road in front of his house in his previous life, which was repaired every six months.
Eventually, almost all the shops on that street closed down.
He was simply dragged to death. This was not a joke; he saw it with his own eyes.
“Many times, the benefits of acting on one’s own will are far less effective than using both kindness and force. You created the melting pot, which is the greatest gift to Zion.
If they were killed for stopping your plan, it would touch your dignity. If they do this, even if someone else wants to hinder you, they will carefully consider the risks involved. "
"I see, but is it really okay to kill a congressman?"
“Wang Anna herself is not clean either. She is an official in Zion, but she transferred a large amount of her property to the Red Moon Temple.
They are sucking the blood of the people of Zion and hindering the development of the entire Zion. They are complete capitalist-roaders.
If such a person doesn't die, who will die?"
After Li Wen's explanation, Xu Le felt much better.
"Thank you Uncle Li for your support."
"I've never supported a particular person, but Zion, and making Zion greater is never just an empty statement.
It took a lot of researchers, workers, resources, and countless people to get to where we are today. I hope you understand. "
"Sure." Xu Le nodded heavily.
…
After leaving the Zion Progressor, Xu Le did not rush back to the Crucible, but came to the Zion Tour Plaza.
There were quite a lot of people in the square. Xu Le got off the car from a distance and didn't walk too close. He just stood at the edge of the square and looked at the tall figure.
A golden toad wearing a white chef's hat is playing with some children.
Some children stood on the golden toad's head. There were some traces of cream on its white hat, which seemed to have been smeared there by some naughty children.
Although many parents are still on the sidelines, after a few days of contact, some people have begun to accept Jinchan.
Considering the size of the entire city of Zion, these people are so few that they can almost be ignored.
But is this approach useless
Of course not, on the contrary, it is a very useful practice.
The fact that there are few people in contact does not prevent the spread of the tone of contact with the ancient gods.
This kind of novel thing always attracts a lot of people's interest and then spreads from person to person.
By then, the implementation of the plan will be much smoother.
Xu Le walked towards the viewing square from the back of the golden toad and soon arrived in front of the golden toad.
"Mr. Jinchan, I want an ice cream."
"Hmm?" Hearing Xu Le's familiar voice, Toad's eyebrows instantly stood up.
It turned its head and stared at Xu Le viciously, its expression changing from fierce and domineering at the beginning to one as if tears were about to fall.
It feels like I've been greatly wronged.
"Wow, Xu Le... Why are you here at this time?"
"Hey? You're a grown man, why are you crying?"
Can toads cry? Xu Le didn't know this before, but now he knows that they can cry.
As for why it was bitter, he was not very clear.
"Do you know how difficult it is to take care of children? I'm so big and they're so small. If I move, I might squash them. I have to be very careful in everything I do. I..."
Looking at Toad's aggrieved face, Xu Le also felt a little emotional.
It is really amazing that Toad was able to hold out for several days under the siege of so many children and even get along well with them.
"Okay, okay, no matter what, you are contributing to the future of the Ancient Gods."
"Stop promising me hopeless things. Tonight..." The toad raised his finger.
"I understand. Arrange the fruits."
…
While Toad and Golden Toad were talking, a pair of very good-looking men and women appeared at the end of the square. One of them pointed at Xu Le and said:
"That's him, mom is talking about, right?"
"It should be, his name is Xu Le."
