Party leader Lu Ming, party whip Wei Baozeng, party minister Du Jiahe, and party municipal committee member Dong Wenquan can be said to be the four giants of the Beiguan branch of the Grand Duke Party.
At this time, the four of them were secretly discussing something in the tea room of Tianzi No. 2 Courtyard of Wolong Xiaoguan.
Du Jiahe's expression was particularly solemn.
Bucklow's suspension under investigation is a shock to the entire municipal council and parliamentary system in Beiguan.
However, the Du Jiahe asked the Donghai Party Headquarters for information, but found nothing.
Now the outside world is saying everything. For example, the Beiguan Council will be dissolved and re-elected. For example, the remaining four municipal committee members will also be subject to strict scrutiny, etc.
None of this is impossible.
Because Bucklow's Liberal Party has always been very strong in the Donghai region, and it is also the largest party with the most seats in the regional parliament.
As the chief committee member of the most economically developed satellite town, Bucklow can also be regarded as a member of the Liberal Party.
Due to the pressure of public opinion and the continuous explosion of reporting materials, the Liberal Party seems to have given up on him.
But to reach such a compromise, other party alliances will inevitably make some concessions.
The political ecology of Beiguan was immediately in turmoil as Baclow temporarily lost his personal freedom.
Lu Ming sipped the tea slowly and sighed softly in his heart.
Everything is outside of my plan.
Originally, according to my plan, I would take advantage of Barcolo's economic crisis to weaken his prestige bit by bit, and use various means to moisturize things quietly. Step by step, almost by the end of the year, it would be logical for him to be imprisoned.
So I told Fourth Brother Wen that many things might change at the end of the year.
But who knew that the arrow had to be fired when it was on the string, and it became known to everyone that he must destroy Bucklo.
You can tell from the fact that Du Jiahe frowns at himself from time to time. He must feel that he is not suitable for this circle. He is young, too restless, and his methods are too radical.
In fact, it is not all without benefits if the cards are laid out now. No matter how meticulous your plan is, how can you guarantee that nothing will change in the past six months or so? Bucklo, this big tiger, is extremely threatening as long as he is still prancing around outside.
Knocking him down more than half a year in advance was also an unexpected surprise.
It's just that his reputation has been damaged to a certain extent. Of course, the reputation here is the reputation of being a qualified politician. The conservative older generation probably sees themselves in a similar mental state to the Du family today.
"Qianxing, what do you think?" When the Du family saw that Lu Ming had been silent, their tone was slightly dissatisfied, and they said to the world, you are really good.
"Wait, it's useless for us to sigh here, isn't it?" Lu Ming smiled.
Now I feel that the Du family and the party ministers are not very competent. They called a few people here, thinking that he had received some latest news. Who knows, because he had not received the news and was unsure, he asked everyone to do a summary.
But in fact, if a few of us just sit here and worry about something like this that is decided by the highest level of the East China Sea, nothing can be accomplished.
Looking at his watch, Lu Ming stood up and said, "Let's break up. I have an appointment to go hiking!"
climb mountains? The Du family frowned even more tightly, but Wei Baozeng and Dong Wenquan both agreed, "Let's break up then." They both needed to find out the news from their own channels.
Lu Ming came to the parking lot of Wolong Restaurant and got into a very ordinary car. There was only a black head in the car as the driver, and there were no other security personnel following him.
After Lu Ming got on the car, the car drove slowly.
…
Gulong Mountain is located in the most remote edge of the Donghai Administrative Region. It belongs to the satellite town of Nanzhai, but it is still far away from the urban area of Nanzhai.
Gulong Mountain is not high, and there are wild peach forests all over the mountain. Now is the time when the peach blossoms are in full bloom. The mountains and plains are covered with pink peach blossoms, and the scenery is extremely beautiful.
At this time, there were several cars parked on the foothill road.
Lu Ming was in a car, looking at the letter in his hand. Next to him, an old man with a white beard sat, smiling and talking to him.
The old man is the consultant minister of Tulip Castle, named Freding.
What he was talking about was some changes that were coming to Beiguan.
The new Beiguan chief committee member nominated by Crown Prince Christine is also from the Liberal Party where Bucklow belongs. He is one of the Liberal Party's Donghai region members, named Scott Stewart.
Lu Ming knew that this person was also one of the heavyweight district councilors of the Liberal Party.
Judging from this name, it comes from the Stewart family, and the Pamela family may have been the same ancestor hundreds of years ago.
Although it was Christine who nominated this type of candidate, it was definitely not Christine's decision, but the consensus, or the result of a compromise, reached by several major parties in the East China Sea.
At the same time, he will voluntarily resign as a member of the Beiguan Municipal Committee.
Come to think of it, the Donghai Grand Duke Party Headquarters will notify me of this result tomorrow.
Freding sighed: "Master, Mr. Fang Shouwang, a colleague of yours, has already argued hard for reasons..."
Lu Ming nodded. He knew what kind of person Mr. Fang was from the last time they met.
As the whip of the Imperial Ecumenical Party and the leader of the Donghai Party Headquarters, he leads many Ecumenical Party members in one region, six states, and one province. His charisma is absolutely beyond words.
You know, he tried his best.
Because requiring oneself to voluntarily resign and leave the municipal committee should be the bottom line given by the Liberal Party.
He couldn't change the outcome.
"I understand..." Lu Ming smiled again: "Actually, this should be considered a step forward for me, right?"
Vladin smiled and said: "Young master, it's best if you can think like this!" His face was very pleased. The young man that the young lady valued was indeed different from other people. Not to mention such a young man, he was an old man who had been immersed in politics for a long time in his prime. Jing, if you were to be a local municipal committee member and suddenly asked to resign on your own initiative, you would have to change your face no matter what. When you hear the news, your complaints are lighthearted, and I have seen people wiping away tears.
As the saying goes, a man won’t shed tears easily, but it’s just not time to retire from office.
But this young man is different, he is very optimistic.
Of course, from a certain perspective, this young man can indeed be said to have taken a step further in the political arena.
But that is from a long-term perspective, and from a short-term perspective, many people will find it difficult to accept it.
The Donghai District Councilor has a higher political status than the municipal councilor of Beiguan, the wealthiest satellite town, but the actual power is much lower.
Vladin sighed thinking about it, but he didn't know that Lu Ming was really happy in his heart. This was a blessing in disguise.
It can be regarded as compensation for myself. After resigning as Beiguan Municipal Committee member, he will take over Bucklo's seat as a member of the Donghai District Council.
There are more than a dozen satellite towns in the eight districts of Donghai. Among them, the satellite towns only have one district councilor, and the chief municipal councilor automatically occupies this place.
There are more than 70 seats in the Donghai District Council, which is only a dozen seats in more than a dozen satellite towns. The remaining more than 60 seats are divided among the eight urban districts.
As for the population, the total population of these many satellite towns is three to four million, and the urban population is only five or six million.
Therefore, the topic of unbalanced distribution of district councilors will be hotly debated every election year.
Now, filling Bucklow's seat by himself can be regarded as a response from the upper levels to the call of the imbalance in the distribution of regional council seats.
Beiguan was the first to catch the crab, and since then, he has two seats in the Donghai District Council.
The chief has one seat, and he is the second seat.
I originally thought that I would not be able to enter the Donghai District Council in the next election year.
Unexpectedly, the goal was achieved more than three years ahead of schedule.
Many people may feel that a large district councilor is far less affordable than a municipal councilor in an economically developed satellite town like Beiguan.
After all, what would it be like if you became the chief committee member and then automatically became a district councilor?
But for myself, this problem does not exist.
"I want to thank Christine!" Lu Ming sighed sincerely. The one who knows me is my mother. She should know that she will like this arrangement.
Moreover, it seems that not only Mr. Fang is fighting for himself, but Christine should also find someone behind the scenes to coordinate.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to get such a "compensation".
Vladin smiled again and said: "In addition, as the leader of the Beiguan Party Department of the Ecumenical Party, you resigned from the position of municipal committee member. The Ecumenical Party and its party alliance have a large number of people in the Beiguan Assembly. Therefore, the deputy speaker of the Beiguan Assembly You must be the only one."
Lu Ming nodded, as it should be.
"Also, the Liberal Party firmly disagrees with the candidate to replace you as a municipal councilor, because the Grand Public Party already has a municipal councilor in the Beiguan Committee. If you leave and become a regional councilor, the municipal councilor will no longer be a council member. If your party takes over, then... Master, don't you think so?" Vladin smiled bitterly.
Lu Ming nodded. That was true. From a party perspective, all the benefits were taken by the Grand Duke Party.
"Master, do you have any suitable candidates, someone who is relatively neutral?" Vladin smiled gently.
Lu Ming was slightly startled, and glanced at Vladin. He thought that this old gentleman was just Christine's servant, with the name of consultant minister. It seemed that he could participate in such personnel changes?
Of course, there must have been a dispute between the two parties, and Vladin or other people from the duke's side had to mediate.
Lu Ming thought for a while and said: "Member Meng Dezhu, he is not a member of the Ecumenical Party and has very senior qualifications. He is a good candidate."
The five brothers who had just arrived in Beiguan were himself, Liu Laocai, Fourth Brother Wen, Zhao Xingwang and Meng Dezhu.
Zhao Xingwang almost turned against himself and has retired.
Liu Laocai now earns hundreds of millions this year and has become a god. Of course, this billion is based on the standards of future generations.
Fourth Brother Wen has also been completely cleansed and is on the road to entering politics.
Meng Dezhu, on the other hand, has been actively moving closer to himself since he became a member of the Beiguan Municipal Committee.
Compared with the other three brothers, he is somewhat less shrewd and more snobbish, but this is also normal for ordinary people, and he cannot ask for too much.
He is the leader of the Beiguan Small Group Educators Alliance. He is not a member of the Ecumenical Party, but he is considered an allied party of the Ecumenical Party.
Therefore, the Liberal Party is definitely opposed to it, but at least it should not touch their bottom line. It depends on how the upper management plays the game.
This kind of midway addition of municipal committee members and councilors is usually decided by the upper management and then voted through.
"Well, my name is Meng Dezhu, right?" Vladin picked up the small book and wrote down the name, and smiled again: "Master, you must have been anxious for a long time. The old man has already said what he wanted to say!"
Lu Ming smiled: "No, I haven't talked to you enough yet, let's talk about ten yuan more!"
The old man was stunned, but he saw that Lu Ming had already opened the door and got out of the car with a smile. The old man smiled helplessly, looking at Lu Ming's back, his eyes were a little kinder, and he sighed softly: "No wonder the young lady is very happy every time she sees him. , alas...what a pity..."
…
Over there, the car Vladin was sitting in slowly drove away.
Lu Ming came to the big rock on the path. Christine was wearing a snow-white mountaineering suit and sunglasses, looking casual and fashionable.
The sunglasses blocked her always majestic gaze, which made people dare not look directly at her. Lu Ming immediately felt very relaxed. It felt like he was hiking with female friends for an outing. The feeling of needing to look up to her was much lighter.
"Mountain climbing?! Are you serious?" Christine glanced up and down at Lu Ming with a half-smile, her beautiful eyes in her sunglasses seemed a bit funny.
Lu Ming coughed, how much did she look down on his small body? But it is true that she was beaten to death while playing tennis and even sprained her ankle. And because of some reversal of her scales, she almost cried in pain. It was right to despise herself.
I had practiced tennis very much, and my physical strength had increased dramatically recently, so I wanted to win back with her.
But she didn't expect that Christine had been officially awarded the title of Earl of Bohanli, confirming the status of public princess. From then on, she was under the focus of thousands of eyes.
When I meet her again, I have to do it openly and openly. The kind of secretly meeting her for dinner and play dates in the past will definitely cause an uproar if someone discovers her.
It’s better not to go to tennis halls or equestrian venues.
Therefore, during this meeting, he and she proposed to go hiking in this inaccessible place.
Mainly, she was probably worried that her psychology would fluctuate, and wanted to take her to relax. After all, a good municipal committee member had to take the initiative to resign, so she agreed to her secret date.
When it comes to Vladin talking to herself, she still hopes that her relationship with her can be simpler, just like before, without involving anything else.
She is not used to talking to herself in political terminology and political topics, and neither is she.
Of course, Vladin just communicated with him in advance, and everything had to wait for notification from the East China Sea Party Headquarters.
"Are you really good at it?" Christine asked again when they were about to enter the hiking trail.
The tone was very concerned, not sarcastic, but really worried about Lu Ming. After all, he was out of breath and almost crying in pain after playing tennis for half an hour.
"I think you are insulting me." Lu Ming said dullly.
Kristine pursed her lips and smiled, "I care about you."
Lu Ming held it in for a while and said: "Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to climb!"
"Oh? Okay, let's go!" Kristine walked upwards with light steps, and her small white and green hiking shoes were also very elegant and beautiful.
Lu Ming followed.
There was also a black head and another female bodyguard with blond hair and blue eyes, all walking at the end. After all, we were climbing a mountain. If we walked in front of the master, the master would lose the fun of climbing the mountain.
Peach blossoms bloomed brilliantly on both sides, and occasionally wild monkeys jumped around and chirped.
"Listen to Isabel, have you given them lessons?" Christine broke the silence.
Lu Ming smiled: "Yes."
It was already the last month of the military academy training. I had to teach the course "Interpretation of the Model Law: Responsibilities and Obligations of the Internal Security Forces". Although I found someone to teach on my behalf, I still went there twice. Anyway, because of the Bakluo incident, I can't leave Donghai for the time being.
Moreover, the officers who come out of here will be my students in the future. They have to get familiar with them no matter what, and they also find outstanding talents who can be mentored.
However, my time is limited, so I give them large classes with 1,500 people, that is, all students in the school.
The effect seems to be quite good. Every time during the break, students are surrounded by students asking themselves many questions.
Because he may already be a legend in the eyes of some young people who know his deeds.
As the education specialist of the military school, he is also the leader of the teaching team. Therefore, the school will naturally publicize his glorious deeds to show the strength of the school's teachers. In the law class, they are all top-notch practical lawyers, earning a thousand dollars a minute. The rates are standard, not some academic who only understands theory.
I was too embarrassed to read the flattery of myself on the school's bulletin board.
The myth of a successful person is always simple.
However, there were too many people in a large class of 1,500 people, and I really didn’t know if my little niece went to class.
Or, if you are still biased, you will teach yourself and not go at all.
"Isabel, I had dinner with me yesterday and said that your lectures were good." Christine smiled slightly.
"Oh, that's good..." Lu Ming wiped his sweat, "It seems that my eldest niece is still very reasonable and will not be prejudicial. She resisted my class and criticized me for nothing."
"Isabel is very smart..." Christine sounded slightly dissatisfied.
Even if there are any problems in the relationship between mother and daughter, the daughter will always be the mother's treasure.
Lu Ming coughed, "Yes..." The impression he pieced together from various rumors seemed to be quite reckless, the kind of character of Zhang Fei who likes to play with spears? In the class where she was the monitor, none of the teachers dared to take the lead, so she ended up taking the blame herself.
Kristine frowned slightly: "Apologise!"
"Ah, the scenery is so beautiful!" Lu Ming looked into the distance.
In the mountain col, there is a sea of pink peach blossoms, and it seems to be shrouded in light clouds and mist. At the foot of the mountain, a silver belt is like the Wolong River circling past, and the mountains and rivers are like a peaceful picture of time.
Kristine stood next to Lu Ming, taking off her sunglasses and looking at the beautiful scenery, her beautiful eyes were a little blurry.
…
On the top of Gulong Mountain, there is a platform with picnic mats, white and green plaid, very beautiful.
From this platform, you can see the scenery in the distance, and the scenery in the distance is even more beautiful.
Lu Ming lay comfortably on the floor and rubbed his belly. He had just eaten a lot. The various Central Asian delicacies made by Christine were so delicious.
There is even more indescribable warmth in her heart. It is obvious that Christine attaches great importance to this outing. The delicacies are all her favorites. She seems to be attentive and calm, but she eats with her many times. Gradually, what she likes to eat and what she doesn't like to eat are all in her mind.
"Is it nice here? How did you find out?" Looking at Lu Ming who was lying lazily aside, Christine's beautiful eyes were filled with kindness as she sat hugging her knees. When the elders are well fed and satisfied, it is the happiest time for the elders.
"I figured it out with my fingers!" Lu Ming smiled. In fact, it was his most trusted subordinates who searched all the remote mountains in the East China Sea and finally selected this mountain.
"Tch..." Christine shook her head, looked at the blue sky, and sighed softly.
"Mom, you should lie down too, feel comfortable!" Lu Ming said with a smile. It could be seen that Christine probably wanted to be like him, completely relaxed, lying next to the clear spring and bamboo forest on the top of the mountain, watching The blue and white clouds are lingering, which is very comfortable.
Since she became a competitor for the public reserve, she must have been very tired from traveling all the way, and she had no one to talk to.
But Kristine shook her head and smiled slightly: "Am I very much like your mother?"
Lu Ming was startled. Instinctively, Christine was afraid that she would recognize him as mother and son with her next words. He coughed and said, "That's not what I meant. For example, when I was in school, in a small team of several of us, one girl was She is also famous for taking care of us, and considers everything very carefully, so we all call her mom!"
"Oh..." Kristine didn't say much, looking into the distance, wondering if she was a little disappointed.
Lu Ming looked at the white clouds drifting slowly in the sky, and beside him, there was a protector-level existence like Christine, and he felt extremely relaxed in his heart, and his eyelids gradually became heavy.
Dimly, I suddenly heard Kristine shouting in a low voice: "What are you doing?!"
Um? Lu Ming slowly opened his eyes, "What's wrong?"
But he saw Christine staring at him with a frosty face, her beautiful eyes already filled with murderous intent.
Lu Ming woke up immediately and thought to himself, "Oh, I'm still holding on to the stone." He grabbed it hard and threw it back.
Looking over, Lu Ming was startled and sat up suddenly, completely awake.
Half asleep and half awake, it seemed as if my hand touched a hard stone. For my obsessive-compulsive disorder, I wanted to pick it up and throw it away.
But now, I saw that the part that my hand was grasping was Christine's buttocks, and it was grasped tightly.
"Still not letting go?!" Christine's eyes were about to burst into flames, but she glanced at the two bodyguards not far away. If she tried to break free, they would notice her.
Lu Ming's head was foggy and he was completely frightened. It even seemed that his whole body was numb. At this moment, he even lost control of his palm. The arm was no longer his. How to let go? The brain's The command could not be conveyed at all, and it seemed that the wrong message was conveyed, so I squeezed hard again.
Then, he suddenly knew how to let go of his hand, quickly let go, and retracted it.
Kristine bit her red lips, probably a little confused, not knowing how to deal with it.
"I fell asleep just now. I thought I grabbed a rock. It was hard and I wanted to pull it away..." Lu Ming quickly stopped. After all, Christine is also a woman. When talking about other people's body parts, it might be... The part I'm proud of is as hard as a rock, this...
You want to say that my whole body is wooden and it doesn’t feel normal at all. Do you believe it?
Kristine had already stood up and walked down the mountain path.
Lu Ming didn't dare to follow her, didn't even dare to get up, and could only watch her figure gradually go away.
Then, Hei Tou came over confused, with a confused look on his face.
Lu Ming could only smile bitterly.
Comrades, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
