Cosma Empire

On the last day of August, there was still a trace of autumn bleakness hidden in the heat of midsummer. In a blink of an eye, a trace of yellow gray appeared on the edge of the green leaves. The pedestrians on the road were in a hurry, and no one realized that autumn had actually arrived in this midsummer.

Sometimes people are very tired, or most of the time they are very tired, because the three views of wisdom and morality make human beings bear many things imposed on human beings by their ancestors.

When everyone lives, he does not live entirely for himself, but for others.

The coughing man on the side of the road lowered his head and walked forward quickly. There was some sweat on his temples, which hung there without wiping, which made him feel a little weak.

He doesn't have any special name, a very common name, and he has parents, a wife, and two children like most people.

In fact, when he went from innocent childhood to adulthood and entered the society, he was already dead, and now he is not what he used to be, let alone the real him.

He is a husband who is barely qualified in the eyes of his wife, an omnipotent father in the eyes of his children, and a child who is getting a little strange in the eyes of his parents, but he is the only one who is not the real him.

He has lived the life that others need him to live. In the eyes of his colleagues, he is very desperate. In the eyes of his boss, he is quite reliable. In the eyes of relatives and friends around him, he is a man with a sense of responsibility. In the eyes of some people, he is just a symbol among all living beings.

However, he is the only one who is not what he wants himself to be.

It has been a long time since he laughed with unbridled happiness, he has not forgotten everything and only do what he really wants to do for a long time, he spends too much time and energy on piling up other people's needs, ignoring the fact that he is Be your own true master.

Perhaps, after his wife had in-depth exchanges to calm the excess hormones in the body, he turned off the light, lay his back on the loose pillow with his wife in the dark, and looked at the dark night sky outside the window, he would sigh, Say "very tired" silently.

Maybe in an inadvertent moment, I will recall my past happiness, a real smile inadvertently appeared on the corner of my mouth, and then put on the hypocritical masks as soon as possible.

I became what people wanted me to be, at the cost of being my truest self….

In an increasingly crowded street and an increasingly crazy society, his face that seems to be full of warmth but indifferent makes him perfectly integrated into this society and the crowd.

"I declare..."

Some familiar voices faintly heard in his ears and the crowds crowded at the entrance of the shopping mall not far away made him realize that something big must have happened.

Instead of watching the excitement, he quickened his pace, returned home earlier than before, and turned on the TV.

Many channels were discussing this matter. He opened a rebroadcast channel that seemed to have not started yet, and watched it seriously.

There are many reporters in the picture, and there is nothing on the empty podium except Ru Lin's microphone, until he widens his eyes and opens his mouth, like a fish lacking oxygen on a chopping board.

Time went back a bit. At 10:30 in the morning, Du Lin held a personal press conference at the Starlight Grand Theater. The invited media occupied all the seats early. People didn't know what Du Lin wanted to say, why? So much media will be called.

But what he said must have been shocking, otherwise he wouldn't have made this incident so shocking alone.

Before the press conference, the reporters at the scene were communicating in private. Everyone had their own different ideas, but the ideas of most of them can be roughly classified into one category, that is, the "provocation" of Holmes last night. There are relationships.

Holmes claimed in the program that even if the opponent was Dooling, he would not take it seriously, and would quickly defeat the opponent, which aroused Doolin's dissatisfaction. This press conference of Doolin may be a declaration, announcing He'll compete with Holmes for that big spot.

There are actually many people who hold this idea. After all, Du Lin is a person who never wants to suffer. It is impossible for him to watch Holmes stepping on him to gain more social attention without saying a word.

At 10:45, Du Lin pushed open the door of the lounge and walked out. The reporters immediately began to fiddle with the machine, and the live broadcast and recording were carried out at the same time.

It is not surprising that Du Lin did not have any speech scripts in his hand. Everyone knows that Du Lin is a person who likes impromptu speeches, which is why many people like him, because he is not hypocritical enough, although in some people This is precisely where he is most hypocritical.

Facing the camera and the reporters, he pursed his lips and frowned slightly. From his body shaking twice, it could be seen that he seemed very nervous, which had never happened before.

Du Lin first apologized to everyone, saying that he felt ashamed and apologetic for inviting everyone here at this busy time, and wasted everyone's time—Golden March is always a grand event for journalists, and they have enough news and scandals to please the public .

The reporters said it didn't matter. After all, Du Lin's press conferences have never been criticized by people. Du Lin not only invented the rule of "travel and horse fare", but also the most wealthy boss.

Everyone hopes to come to Durin's press conference, even if there is no invitation letter, they have to make one and squeeze in.

"There is only one thing I want to announce today, and there is only one sentence..." He looked at the reporters in the theater, then took two steps back, and bowed deeply.

This action made some reporters stand up in shock. Before they could ask questions, Du Lin straightened up and walked to the podium again, nodding slightly sideways, "From now on, I will withdraw from the New Party!" Added a "sorry".

It happened suddenly like a huge bomb exploded in the opera house, in front of every audience who watched the live broadcast, and in the ear of Holmes under the stars and moon, everyone lost the ability to speak and think for a moment. ability.

As the successor of Magus, the leader of the new generation of the new party, who is currently regarded by people as being able to solve the crisis within the party, and the well-deserved first person of the younger generation, unexpectedly announced...withdrawing from the new party?

The bomb exploded, but Du Lin didn't explode. After he said thank you, he quickly left through the side door. When he left, it took about 20 or 30 seconds for the reporters to react and rushed towards the side door.

This news is so explosive that it can definitely be regarded as the number one news in the world this month. Everyone wants to find out what happened so that Du Lin will quit the new party.

From south to north, from east to west, Magus, Kubal, Odgar, Holmes in front of the TV, countless famous politicians in the empire wanted to figure out what Durin wanted to do almost at the same time !

Leaving these things aside, Du Lin got into the car from behind the theater and left the theater directly. He loosened his bow tie and took off his cufflinks. The hot weather made these decorations less comfortable.

He is very satisfied with everyone's performance just now, and he is also very satisfied with his plan.

Stay on the front line?

Maybe there will be such an opportunity in society. Leaving the last trace of decency to the enemy can not only sublimate one's kindness, but also gain a chance when encountering the same situation.

But in politics, leaving a way out for others is tantamount to climbing a mountain and breaking your own legs.

This is a very ordinary election battle among internal candidates. If Holmes does not take the lead, Du Lin does not mind having a fair vote with him, although Holmes will definitely lose.

But when Holmes decided to use some off-court tricks to decide the outcome of this rivalry, Dooling was free to play.

Compared with off-court tricks, Du Lin is the father!

The car he was riding in quickly disappeared into the city's traffic flow, but the impact of this incident will continue to ferment, eventually forming a storm of public opinion.

Magus, who was lying in the hospital, tried to get up several times, but he still didn't move in the end. He believed that in this empire, among the politicians he knew, Durin might not be able to win the game with integrity, but playing with these messy Yes, Durin will never lose.

Maggs trusted Durin, but Kubal might not. He didn't connect the phone to Durin until after one o'clock in the afternoon.

The first time Du Lin's voice rang on the other side of the phone, he tore his collar and roared, "Do you know what you are doing?"

In this sentence, he uses the preposition of greeting the other party's parents to express his strong inner emotions, and expresses his dissatisfaction by adding verbs, but for some reason these uncivilized words will not be expressed in writing superior.

Du Lin was still very shocked, "I know, sir, I am an adult, and I know what I have done."

Kubal was gasping for breath, and it took him a while to calm down while pinching his forehead, "You withdrew from the New Party, but you didn't say hello to me. You destroyed the most important things for me and Magus!"

He tried his best to keep his tone calm. The new party and the old party are a system proposed by Magus to stabilize the society and the political environment of the empire. In any case, there must be reliable people controlling the two parties in the two-party system.

Kubal already has a candidate for the old party, and Dulin is basically already a candidate for the new party, but Dulin's sudden decision will change many things and affect many people and interests, which makes Kubal surprised and angry .

Du Lin smiled and comforted, "It will be fine, believe me, sir, within a week, I will become the vice chairman of the new party. This is just a small plan."

Kubal was stunned for a moment, then fell silent. After a long time, he said, "You'd better not lie to me!"

"Of course, sir..."

After hanging up the phone, the phone rang again. He looked at it, didn't answer it, and got up and left. During this time, he will temporarily disappear from the public's sight, waiting for the matter to continue to ferment.

The bomb he dropped has already taken effect, and the strategy of taking retreat as an advance is actually very useful in many cases. As long as the society has a bottom line and the other party has a bottom line, there is no need to worry about not being able to solve these problems.

Holmes may not be a "gentleman", but he will definitely not be a "little man". In the end, he will personally invite Du Lin back to the new party and put him in the position of vice chairman, unless he wants to be Abandoned by the entire empire!

It was very easy for Du Lin to leave, and he got more directly, but this worried many people who wanted to make a fuss about what happened, including Holmes.

Holmes couldn't understand Dulling's operation at all. To be precise, there are very few tricks of retreating into advance in Western values. People are more advocating to show their own advantages and crush their opponents.

So Du Lin's move was beyond everyone's expectations, and even Magus was taken aback.

Holmes couldn't figure out what Du Lin wanted to do. He didn't know what to do, and when he didn't know what to do, it would make people uneasy. The only thing he could do at this time was to contact more people as soon as possible, and send his vice chairman's The location is determined.

Only in this way can one be able to deal with Du Lin's move. No matter what he did, as long as his buttocks are stable, even if he does something more astonishing, it will not change the final outcome.

The seriousness of politics far outweighs other things, sometimes even if everyone knows it's wrong, but in order to maintain the image, maintain the dignity, maintain some consistent accuracy, correctness, even if it is wrong people will obey it, until some time later.

For three days in a row, it seemed that time did not reverse, and when even Magus began to become suspicious, suddenly a gossip began to circulate, saying that Holmes had the handle or evidence to kill Durin. Using this as a threat to force Du Lin to withdraw from the competition and the new party, so as to gain opportunities in the next job transfer within the new party.

Although this news caused people to spread it, everyone didn't particularly believe that Holmes was also considered a successful governor and a qualified public figure, and there was not much market for splashing dirty water.

Moreover, Du Lin's press conference was thoughtless, he only talked about the result but not the reason. Random guesses could not arouse the close attention of the society, but this news has attracted the attention of many politicians.

There is no doubt that Du Lin made a move, but...many people feel that if it is just these moves, the plane is not good enough, the risk is too great, and they will lose money!

But that night, the Empire Daily News and Empire Cable One Channel both obtained a piece of information, which caused a sensation in the entire society.

It was a recording, and there was a very familiar voice in the recording. After all, this guy, that person and an important woman were all on TV a few days ago and these days, almost shamelessly talking about how to frame Durin, and intends to put it into action.

No wonder Du Lin would quit the competition and quit the new party, but this also makes people a little puzzled. If it's just these, there is no need to make trouble to the point of quitting the new party, right?

How could Du Lin, who has always been strong, surrender so decisively and completely, and was defeated?

There must have been something that people didn't know about. This kind of doubt only lasted until the moment when Du Lin appeared in front of the camera in the prime time of the next night.
