Chapter 17 Why Don’t You Say It? Why Don’t You Ask? (Part 2)

Growth is sometimes not important to many people, but sometimes it is particularly important. Wu Qun quietly watched the two people who were taking a halftime break, and thought of his son in his mind.

The most profound feeling Wu Qun had from today's battle was growth. He saw the shadow of his son Wu Lei in Alpha, and Wu Lei's current situation was very similar to Alpha.

Since he was very young, Wu Qun often taught his son how to get along with others, because in such an era, the way to get along with others is the way to climb to the top in the future. Wu Qun knew this truth very well, so he always took Wu Lei to some banquets through some father-son games intentionally or unintentionally, and taught Wu Lei with his words and deeds.

Such Wu Lei has been likable in the eyes of others since he was a child, and he is well-behaved, sensible, and smart. When he reached a certain age, Wu Qun began to take his son Wu Lei to some places where power circles intersect, allowing him to witness everything with his own eyes.

Wu Qun knew that there was always a restless gene in his son's body. He realized it in the past, but he didn't care. However, at the first city meeting that Le Xiao attended as a newly employed secretary, Wu Qun noticed that this gene was about to break through the hard and cold soil and sprout.

Wu Qun gradually felt uneasy, because such an uneasy factor would have a great impact on a person's future path. Alpha in front of him was an example. Wu Qun watched Alpha grow up little by little.

In the past, the city was always full of everything about Alpha, part of which came from the power circle and part of which came from the people. In the eyes of many people in the power circle, Alpha was a troublemaker.

Wu Qun also looked at Alpha in this way, because she always did things that people hated, and these things were not pleasing in the eyes of people in the power circle, because they violated the principles of the power circle.

When Wu Qun was young and wanted to climb up, he also had Alpha's behavior, but such behavior hindered Wu Qun for many years. Climbing up was to change something, but when Wu Qun really climbed up, he found that he could no longer change anything.

Change means that the city will suffer from rounds of storms. Such storms often come from the top down. It only takes a moment to stir up everything in the city. After the storm, there will be wailing. In the end, it is the people at the bottom who bear everything.

The reason why the upper class wants to be as stable as possible is because they know that all this is in vain, and all of Alpha's actions are to make the city brighter.

Countless people have tried this approach, but in the end they returned to the starting point. Alpha also failed. Freya was the same in the past. She wanted to do something for the city's medical system, but when she came to her senses, everything was back to the starting point.

For most of the powerful, this starting point has been tried before. If you want to stabilize, you need to pay a price. This price is the unity and integrity of power. No one wants to face a lot of complicated problems after taking a new step.

Usually these problems are caused by unknown steps, but over the years, Wu Qun feels that everything Alpha has done in the past is correct, because the starting point is good, and the city at that time has just begun to solidify.

Alpha had already seen the problems in the city, so she wanted to cure some things, and in her rigidly customized framework, she had already seen what the future Brilliant City would be like.

So Alpha had been trying hard to reverse all this, but she failed. Perhaps she had a chance to succeed. After discovering everything about the Hillman family, she could have changed everything, but in the end she did that because of the uneasy factors in her body.

Because the brilliant era started by Alpha also collapsed and withered because of Alpha, until now, a series of chain reactions caused by the collapse of the Hillman family are still continuing.

In order to keep the city stable, the seven major associations had to divide the city. In the end, the city stabilized and the Brilliant City was completely solidified.

Wu Qun looked at Alpha, and the shadow of his son Wu Lei kept appearing in his mind. What he was most worried about now was the uneasy factors in Wu Lei's body. If these uneasy factors broke out one day in the future, Wu Lei might suffer unprecedented setbacks.

Since his son Wu Lei was very young, he had been smooth sailing all the way. Wu Qun immediately felt this after playing that game with Michelle.

Michelle is completely different from her son and Alpha. Although she is known as a genius, she has not had a smooth journey and has encountered many setbacks.

Her mother passed away very early, and she matured even earlier. She also raised her two younger brothers and one younger sister. Michelle, who lives in a large family, did not obey Charles's instructions, but walked along the path she could see.

All of this has its origin. Michelle's origin is pure. Like her mother Freya, Michelle has been constantly improving everything in the framework customized by Alpha over the years. Because of this, the power circle in Brilliant City can completely get rid of the corrupt things in the past.

Nowadays, Bright City has ushered in a real bright future in terms of the system, but everything left over from the past is very terrible. Although there are still things outside the system, it seems to Wu Qun that it is much better than in the past.

Wu Qun looked at the six people around him and really had to have a good talk with them. Over the years, the administrative department has been promoting reforms in various aspects, but the parliamentarians have begun to become more conservative and have better relations with businessmen. .

Businessmen need to maintain their own interests continuously and stably, and cities also need businessmen to stabilize the economy so that more people can have jobs and feed everyone. Reform and stability coexist, but at the same time they are very opposite. Relationship.

Such a paradoxical relationship makes it very difficult for legislators to handle it, because they know very well that reform means that problems will arise in the original stable interests, which businessmen will never allow.

If the interests of businessmen change, it will directly affect the interests of the parliamentarians and the economy of the region. Such reforms are not allowed in front of the parliamentarians.

Wu Qun also joined such a camp, but now Wu Qun's mind has changed. Such a rapid change only occurred in just a few months because of the appearance of Le Xiao.

The appearance of Le Xiao completely caused cracks in the solidified system of Bright City. Such cracks were visible to the naked eye. Many people and things were dragged into the whirlpool by Le Xiao, and the city was bound to face an even more violent storm next. This storm It was still caused by Le Xiao. Wu Qun looked at Su Li. Chen Qiao was still trying to persuade her, but it was obvious that Su Li would never change her mind.

"Old Wu, what do you think?"

Pullman asked, Wu Qun smiled and shook his head, and Wang Ying spoke up.

"It depends on whether the head of the family will allow the Su family to continue as usual. If she makes some decisions that run counter to the businessmen, a violent storm will occur in the city."

Lin Xiao immediately answered.

"We have to do something. If we do nothing, the city is likely to fall into a new crisis."

Baozhen laughed.

"No matter what decision she makes, the Fashion Association will continue to develop as always."

Baozhen's words sounded a bit tough. Wu Qun looked at Baozhen and saw that this woman had also changed. The woman who used to be a bit upright had now become a fish in water with power.

Wu Qun sighed helplessly. Beckinsale took out a cigarette, handed one to Lin Xiao, and lit one himself.

"Hmph, it's true that if we don't do something, big problems will happen in the city, is that true?"

Beckinsale couldn't help but think of the past when Nia and Michelle conducted a thorough investigation of the film and television area. Beckinsale also wanted to do something at that time, but in the end she couldn't do anything and could only watch. There is a big problem in the film and television area.

But since then, the quality of many works in the film and television area has skyrocketed. In the past, this circle, which relied on various transactions, has become a place where no one can stand firm without ability. Even though there are still some transactions, it is obvious that , urban people will reject shoddy things.

"Have you already decided on something before things have been decided?"

Chris said with a smile, and Wu Qun looked at him. Chris is the only one among them who has not changed much over the years. He continues to contribute to basic education. Although he has to obey orders, Chris Always insisting on everything he had dreamed of achieving in the past, it was a pity that he was already alone.

Although Chris is nominally the president of the Education Association, in fact, what he says will fall on deaf ears. He has long been ignored. The reason why he can continue to be in this position is just because he knows more people. It is just because of some of the good things he did in basic education in the past that he is remembered by people who have grown up.

That's all. Wu Qun watched as several people began to argue. The reason why Pullman asked this question was that Wu Qun knew what he was thinking.

"How about we don't do anything this time?"

Wang Ying stood up excitedly.

"Don't be ridiculous, Old Wu. If you let that little girl mess around, there will be big problems in the city."

"Maybe it will be like what the little girl did in the business department last time. It may not be resolved smoothly."

None of the six people believed Wu Qun's words, including Chris.

"That girl is inexperienced and has already taken on such a position. She is lucky to be able to survive without any trouble."

Baozhen said, Wu Qun sat down helplessly. Pullman beside him was still thinking about something, so Wu Qun asked again.

"What method of doing things do you think can make the final result better?"

Lin Xiao shook his head.

"Old Wu, are you confused? At this time, elementary school students have returned to the problem. If there is no planning and foresight before doing things, including risk estimation, and you are crossing the river by feeling the stones when doing things, the success rate of such things should be low. to one percent.”

Wu Qun nodded, and Wang Ying immediately added.

"Just like the huge riot on the ground floor before, that girl was just lucky. Those people who wanted to cause commotion, because they were afraid of being evicted, happened to find the steps at that time, so they stopped. The girl’s speech is meaningless.”

Wu Qun recalled the situation that day and laughed. It seemed that they didn't see the truth. What they saw didn't exist. Everything was arranged by the Operations Department.

But Wu Qun didn't think so. After that, Le Xiao did accept some visits from the public every day when she was free. This practice was not planned.

"Maybe this is why she has been successful so many times and is loved by the public."

Pullman took off his glasses and smiled helplessly. This smile seemed a little bitter.

"Don't you understand such a simple truth?"

Pullman asked, and the other people didn't say anything. Wu Qun looked at Pullman and nodded in agreement.

"Many times when we think about the pros and cons of a thing, we are actually heading towards the worst result."

Wu Qun said and walked slowly to the secretary, and Pullman also stood up and followed.

"Old Wu, I didn't really believe it at first, or I didn't agree with it, but now I understand it a little bit."

"Yes, because the little girl is very sincere and doesn't hide her inner feelings at all, so her voice can reach the hearts of the people. Although this is the same as the Alpha in the past, it is deeply loved by the people, but it is completely different."

Pullman nodded, and the two came to the front row, looking at Le Xiao who was still talking to Gu Ningning beside him.

"Secretary Le Xiao, after today is over, I hope to formally invite you to dinner at home tomorrow."

After Wu Qun finished speaking, Le Xiao looked at Wu Qun suspiciously, and her suspicious expression was revealed.

"I won't go."

Le Xiao immediately refused, but it seemed that because her tone was a bit tough, she immediately said with a fake smile.

"That's not the case, Mr. Wu Qun, how should I put it, I am a secretary, a member of the Operations Department, and you are a member of the parliament, right, so it's better for us not to have dinner privately."

Pullman laughed at the side.

"Then I'll go to the General Affairs Department for dinner. We can talk while we eat. Do you remember the idea I told you last time?"

Le Xiao was a little surprised. It took her a long time to remember it, but she immediately looked back at Michelle. She didn't nod until Michelle nodded.

"Thank you."

Wu Qun bowed slightly and turned to leave. Pullman also smiled and gestured to leave.
