Chapter 938 The String of Fate and Power (Super long chapter, please vote for it)

"What is this?"

As the documents were flipped, some surprised whispers came from the crowd.

"Mr. Lin En,"

At this time, the Minister of Finance, who was sitting on He Ao's right, had already raised his head in a hurry and looked at He Ao, "My daughter passed the entrance examination and entered that high school normally. I didn't use any illegal means. I didn't even write a letter of recommendation for her."

He Ao raised his hand and motioned him to be quiet first.

"Mayor Lynn," Vettel, who was sitting behind the conference table, said nervously and angrily, "This is a false accusation. I just drank too much that day. The suitcase contained a custom-made suit that my wife had asked someone to order. It just happened to arrive, so I asked him to deliver it." "Lynn, although Vettel has a somewhat eccentric personality and likes to play," Lant, who was sitting next to Howe, stood up slightly and stood next to Howe, whispering, "But he still knows right from wrong and won't do this." "They can testify for me." At this time, Vettel also looked at the two "friends" who were just laughing together, "We went to the bar together that day, and they also saw the person who delivered the suit. I joked with them that the suit was packed in a suitcase, which was quite exquisite." He looked at his silent friend beside him, "Are you talking?" "That day, it was true. We were with Vettel," At this time, the man on his left slowly spoke, "But we went to the bathroom halfway, and when we came back, we saw that he had a The suitcase is said to be a suit, but... the weight doesn't seem to be a suit. " Vettel was a little relaxed after hearing the first half, but after hearing the second half, "What do you mean?" Then he immediately realized something and grabbed the collar of the person next to him angrily, "You did it on purpose? You took me to that bar on purpose? ! Are you framing me?" "Vettel, don't spit blood!" The man whose collar was grabbed immediately said, and he tapped the screen, "Look, it's clearly written in this material. The bureaucrats of Kopes said that you accepted their bribes and approved a separate power line to the mining area for them." Vettel's face turned red instantly, and he pulled up the collar of the person in front of him and shouted angrily, "Asshole, they followed the normal procedure, all the conditions were met, and I didn't turn on the electricity for them, how do you let those miners work? Are they forced by those bastards of Kopes to use dangerous small fuel cell machinery to mine?" "Okay." A calm and old voice rang in the conference room with a weird atmosphere. Vettel took a deep breath, his chest heaving as he let go of his hand, and looked at Howe, "Mayor Lynn, Mr. Lant, I'm sorry, I was impulsive." The man whose collar was grabbed glanced at Vettel and wanted to say something, but when he raised his head and looked at the old man standing in front of the main seat with cold eyes, he shuddered subconsciously and swallowed his words. "At the Ministry of Education," Howe looked to the left and glanced at the man with a mustache sitting on the left, "Are there any cases of illegal admission?" "Each school has its own admission standards, some look at exams, and some look at comprehensive qualities. We don't know." The man with a mustache sat up straight and shook his head and said, "There may be some students who can't meet the standards and have to use some other means to enroll. As long as the school approves, we all consider it normal admission." "I heard that before the admission results came out, the principal of Nord Private Middle School visited the Minister of Finance?" The fat man next to the man with a mustache raised his head and looked at the Minister of Finance. "I refused directly. No one in my family has contacted the so-called principal." The Minister of Finance shook his head immediately. "So, is this true?" The fat man asked with a smile. The Minister of Finance turned his head and looked at He Ao, "Mr. Lin En, I didn't expect things to go this far. My daughter has always had good grades. She likes that school very much. I have no choice. I tried to persuade her. She hid it from us when she took the exam. There was nothing wrong with her grades. She told me that she checked the answers... I..." "So if your daughter likes it, you should find a way to get her..." Someone in the crowd spoke up. But he didn't finish his words because the old man standing in the main seat raised his hand. He was not afraid of the old man before, because the other party was easy to talk to, even if he offended him, it would be fine, but today, seeing that old and calm face and looking at the deep brown-gray eyes, he somehow felt a little palpitation. In the end, he closed his mouth and kept quiet. At this moment, Howe's eyes also swept over the people sitting at the conference table with different expressions. He slowly said, "Minister of Finance Loesser, Minister of Energy Vettel, please stand up for a moment." Hearing his words, the two turned pale, but still stood up slowly. The mustache man sitting on the left looked up at Vettel who stood up, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, but he quickly hid it. At this time, Howe also looked at the rest of the people sitting, looking at their expressions of joy or ridicule, and said calmly, "The things to be announced at today's meeting are very simple, and it won't take up too much time for everyone." Hearing his words, everyone's eyes gathered on him again. Vettel and Loesser's breathing was a little rapid.

"Everyone here except those who are standing,"

He Ao slowly picked up the brass cane and said in a natural and steady tone, "You are all fired."

The patter of rain hits the glazed windows painted with ancient paintings, and it seems to hit everyone's heart, making a crackling sound.

This dripping sound is like sharp knives, shattering the panic of the standing person and the charming dreams of the sitting person.

silence.

An eerie silence spread in the vast hall.

Time seems to have stopped at this moment.

The gray-haired old man stood in front of the conference table, holding an exquisitely carved brass cane in the air.

In the silent and dim void, there seemed to be countless fluttering illusory strings, passing through the void. One end was held above the heads of everyone in the conference room, and the other end was held on the brass cane horizontally in the air.

Just like the fate of this world being dragged.

The cold wind seemed to blow through the closed doors and windows, blowing into the seemingly warm room, solidifying the faces of everyone sitting there.

"Your first deputy minister will temporarily take over your duties until your successor is determined."

The old man's eyes calmly scanned everyone's face, and he took back the brass cane in his hand.

"Okay, the meeting is over, you can prepare for the handover."

boom--

As if the thread of fate was pulled into the void, the invisible sound trembled in everyone's heart, awakening the lost soul.

Panic, confusion, surprise, fear, doubt, countless expressions appeared on the faces of people who finally reacted.

"Mr. Lynn!"

The Minister of Education with a mustache stood up immediately. He looked at He Ao with a slightly angry and disbelieving expression. He took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress his emotions.

"What are you doing? You've almost dismissed the entire cabinet! The city government will collapse!"

"Well, are you done?"

He Ao looked at the Minister of Education.

It was like a bucket of ice water falling from the sky, dousing all the anger and anger.

The Minister of Education stared blankly at the old man with calm eyes in front of him.

Although the mayor's eyes fell on him, he knew that he was not in his eyes at all.

Executive power rests with the Mayor of Ilan.

This is the first sentence of Article 2, Article 2 of the Ilan City Constitution, which lays the foundation for all the mayor's powers.

Executive power rests with the mayor and not the city government.

The city government and the city cabinet are just instrumental institutions derived from the mayor to better implement his administrative powers.

When the mayor wants to cut these tools without any scruples, the tools have no room to speak or resist.

After all, they are just tools that rely on the mayor.

One word determines life and death, one word determines rise and fall. This is power.

Silent silence once again spread across the conference room.

The Minister of Education opened his mouth to say something more, but no sound came out.

He has clearly realized that the mayor in front of him doesn't care about him at all, just like the gods don't care about humble insects.

No matter what he said, it would just be the death struggle of the dying fish on the shore, which would only add to the laughter.

The mayor in front of him seemed to have changed after experiencing life and death, but the changes were not what he expected.

The soft-spoken, soft-spoken mayor who was 'good at accepting advice' has disappeared, replaced by a tough, decisive leader who is as cold and resolute as an arbitrary king.

"Okay, then the meeting is dismissed,"

He Ao withdrew his gaze and glanced at everyone again, "Thank you for your cooperation over the past year. The staff of the Secretariat will assist you in the handover of work after the meeting."

Then he turned around and walked towards the door of the conference room.

The closed door opened automatically as he arrived, leaving an open passage for him.

The blond chief of staff was still standing at the door waiting.

He Ao nodded slightly to her, and then continued walking deeper into the corridor, and the blond chief of staff immediately followed him.

At this time, the Minister of Education standing in the conference room weakly supported the conference table with his hands, and thin beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

The gold pocket watch slipped from the watch pocket on his chest and swayed on his chest.

"Is Lynn crazy?"

The man who was sitting next to Vettel knocked on the table angrily, "Tyrant, he is a shameless, illogical, willful tyrant!"

"The city government is going to collapse, he's crazy, he must be crazy!"

Another angry roar followed.

Amid the mournful roars of the crowd, Vettel, who still had an angry flush on his face, raised his head and looked blankly at Rant, who was standing next to the main seat and was still unresponsive.

Apart from the mayor, there were only three people standing in the conference room just now, Deputy Mayor Lant, him, and Finance Minister Lowe. They were not on the list of 'fired'.

And he and Finance Minister Lowther were the ones attacked during the meeting.

The people who were supposed to be ‘fighted down’ in this meeting escaped unscathed, while the surrounding ‘predators’ who thought they had power lost everything.

The change of situation has completely exceeded Vettel's expectations, leaving him a little overwhelmed.

Faced with the look he cast, Lant also shook his head, saying that he didn't know.

Boom——

At this time, with a soft sound, the Finance Minister got out of his seat, rushed to the door, rushed out, and followed the footsteps of the leaving old man.

Rant quickly gave Vettel a wink.

Vettel also reacted immediately and rushed out following Loser's footsteps.

······

"The location of the live broadcast speech is arranged in the mayor's office according to your instructions. Is this arrangement okay?"

The chief of staff handed the tablet in his hand to He Ao and showed the live broadcast inside.

The content in the picture is very simple. Close to the picture is a smooth white marble desk, with a pendulum clock made of gold and gemstones placed on the table.

Behind the table, there is a translucent old-fashioned glass window. The gold-embroidered silk curtains of the window are opened to both sides, and the wind and rain outside the window are stretched into thin strips.

Two flags were planted on both sides of the window. The one on the left is the Union's olive stars flag, and the one on the right is the white jasmine flag of the city of Elan.

The entire decorative arrangement generally retains the scene of the mayor's office.

However, these decorations were not determined by Lin En. After he took office, he had too many things to do, and he liked to work in the conference room and basically had no time to come to the conference room. This was a decoration that his previous office director helped him determine, and he did not decorate it after it was finished. Come take a look.

Of course, the chief of staff had just been fired.

He Ao quickly took in the scene in the picture, and then immediately asked, "Replace the curtains with ordinary cloth curtains, the color should be lighter, replace the gold and gemstone pendulum clock with books related to the history of Yilan City, Make it into a bookend and put it on the table.”

Then he glanced at the arrangement again, "The camera is too low. It should be higher so that I can look straight at the camera."

"OK."

The chief of staff nodded slightly and took back the tablet.

"Mr. Lynn,"

At this time, Finance Minister Lowe also chased after him. He was panting and looking up at He Ao, "I will withdraw my daughter from the school in Nolde. This time it is my problem..." ·”

"It's not your problem,"

He Ao shook his head slightly, "The best schools in Yilan City are all private schools owned by consortiums. It is the city government's problem that outstanding children can only go to consortium schools."

"I···"

Finance Minister Lowe opened his mouth slightly.

"You don't have any problems, don't worry, the city government still needs you very much."

He Ao patted his elbow and said seriously.

Looking at the old man's face in front of him, Loser took a deep breath and nodded gently, "Yes."

"Mr. Lynn..."

At this time, Vettel also rushed over panting, but his body was obviously better than Loser. He looked at He Ao and asked quickly, "I..."

"You're doing a great job, young man, just be careful to identify who your true friends are,"

Ho looked at Vettel and smiled, "Do a good job."

Vettel raised his head, his face slightly embarrassed, but he looked at the kind and calm eyes of the old man in front of him, and all his words and explanations seemed to disappear at this moment.

Finally, he nodded heavily, "Okay!"

To convince your subordinates, sometimes you just need to see his dedication and efforts and give him recognition.

It's both simple and difficult.

At this time, a figure also chased after the two of them, it was Deputy Mayor Lant.

"The next task will be more difficult, go and do your work."

After patting his two subordinates on the shoulders and saying goodbye to them, He Ao looked at Lant who was walking towards him.

"I feel like my people are going to be poached by your words."

Walking to He Ao, Lanter glanced at the back of Vettel who was leaving with some excitement, and said with a smile.

"This is a very capable young man, isn't he?"

He Ao smiled, turned around, and continued moving forward.

"What you did today...is a bit 'radical',"

Lant walked beside He Ao and sighed softly, "Although most of these cabinet ministers are not good people and may have colluded with the consortium, but if you directly fired most of the cabinet ministers, aren't you afraid of causing turmoil in the city government? ?”

"There will be turbulence, but it may be easier to cut the knot with a quick knife than to treat the disease after it has penetrated deep into the bone marrow."

He Ao shook his head slightly and continued to move forward, "And it is not the ministers I elected who maintain the basic operation of the city government, but those government employees who have been employed for more than ten years or even decades.

“Compared with cabinet bureaucrats who change every few years, or even every one or two years, they know their departments better and what they do.

"Although they have blocked the pace of reformers in many cases, they also serve as the cornerstone of the city government. As long as they maintain stability, there will be no major chaos in the city government."

"It seems you have figured it out?"

Rant took a deep breath, stopped, looked at He Ao, and smiled, "I know why you are willing to talk to me here. I will try to get it done for you on the conservative side of the parliament, even if you fire Conservative cabinet officials, but as long as I'm here, they won't have much of an issue."

"Trouble."

He Ao stopped and nodded slightly.

Then he looked up at the door ahead. At this moment, the two of them had arrived at the door of the mayor's office.

At this time, Lant also glanced at the door of the mayor's office. He hesitated and said slowly, "No matter what you do, protect your own safety. This city still needs you."

"I can only do what I can."

He Ao shook his head slightly, held the brass cane in one hand, and pushed open the door with the other.

Bright lights instantly shined into his eyes, and the dense light filled the spacious circular office.

Staff members holding equipment have gathered around the desk.

The curtains have been replaced with gray plain cloth, and the ornaments on the table have become several books placed together. The most eye-catching one is a book with a white cover and a white jasmine emblem printed on it, "Elan Ba" century".

"Mr. Lynn"

"Mr. Lynn"

He seemed to hear the sound of the door opening. A figure holding a device turned around and looked at He Ao standing at the door with some excitement.

He Ao nodded lightly to them, walked through the passage that the crowd had given way to, and walked behind the desk.

He placed his brass cane upright on his desk and sat in a chair.

Buzz——

However, before he could look at the camera, a soft sound sounded on his bracelet.

He lowered his head and looked at the bracelet.

It was a coded message, from Covey.

The content of the message is very simple,

[The Wilderness Sentinel reported that the mercenary group of the Ivis Space System is rapidly approaching the wilderness outside the south gate. ]

He Ao took a deep breath and quickly answered [know].

Then he raised his head, glanced at the staff who were already standing outside, and nodded lightly to them,

The lights on both sides were slowly lit, and He Ao looked towards the camera, his face majestic, but his tone calm,

"I'm glad that I can still sit here today. I hope to spend a few minutes talking to the people of Yilan about my assassination, about this city, and about some things we should know."
