On the last day of August, there was still a hint of autumn in the heat of midsummer, and in the blink of an eye, a trace of yellow ash had appeared on the edge of the green leaves, and the pedestrians on the road were in a hurry, and no one noticed that autumn had actually arrived in the middle of summer.

Sometimes people are tired, or most of the time they are tired, because the three views of human wisdom and morality make human beings carry a lot of things that were imposed on human beings by their ancestors.

Everyone lives not entirely for themselves, but for others.

Some coughing men on the side of the road lowered their heads and walked quickly forward, his sideburns were a little sweaty, and they hung there without wiping them, which made him feel a little weak.

He didn't have a special name, a very ordinary name, and like most people, he had parents, a wife, and two children.

In fact, when he went from an innocent childhood to an adult and entered society, he was already dead, and he is not the same person he used to be, let alone the real him.

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

He lived as others needed him to live, he was very desperate in the eyes of his colleagues, he was quite reliable in the eyes of his superiors, he was a responsible man in the eyes of his relatives and friends, and in the eyes of people who were more distant, he was just a symbol among all living beings.

However, he is not the person he wants.

It's been a long time since he's laughing out loud with unbridled happiness, it's been a long time since he's forgotten everything and only doing what he really wants to do, he's spending too much time and energy on piling up other people's needs, ignoring that he's actually the real master of himself.

Perhaps, after his wife had an in-depth communication to calm down the excess hormones in his body, he turned off the light, and when he turned his back to his wife in the dark and pillowed on the pillow that was already a little loose, and looked at the dark night sky outside the window, he would sigh and silently say "I'm so tired".

Maybe in a casual moment, I will recall my happiness, a real smile inadvertently appears on the corner of my mouth, and then put back on the mask of hypocrisy as soon as possible.

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

The streets are getting more and more crowded, the society is getting more and more crazy, and his seemingly warm but indifferent face makes him perfectly integrated into this society and the crowd.

"I declare ......"

There were some familiar voices in his ears and the crowd at the entrance of the mall not far away, which made him realize that something big must have happened, and instead of going to see the excitement, he quickened his pace, returned home a little earlier than usual, and turned on the TV.

Many channels were discussing this, and he opened a rebroadcast channel that didn't seem to have started yet, and watched it seriously.

There were a lot of reporters in the picture, and there was nothing on the empty podium except for Rulin's microphone, until his eyes widened and his mouth opened wide, like an oxygen-starved fish on a chopping board.

Rewind the clock a bit, at half past ten in the morning, Durin held a personal press conference at the Starlight Theater, and the invited media occupied all the seats early, and people didn't know what Durin wanted to say or why so many media were gathered.

But what he said must have been shocking, otherwise he wouldn't have made it so shocking on his own.

Before the press conference, the reporters at the scene were communicating privately, and everyone had their own different ideas, but most of them could be roughly grouped into one category, that is, it had something to do with Holmes's "provocation" last night.

Holmes claimed on the show that he would not take it to heart even if his opponent was Doolin, and would quickly defeat his opponent neatly, which caused Doolin's displeasure, and Doolin's press conference could be a declaration that he would compete with Holmes for that important position.

There are actually many people who think this way, after all, Durin is a man who never wants to lose, and he can't just watch Holmes step on him to get more social attention and not say a word.

The clock ticked to 10:45, and Durin pushed open the door to the break room and walked out, and the reporters immediately began to fiddle with the machines, and the live broadcast and recording were going on at the same time.

It is not surprising that Durin does not have any speeches in his hand, and everyone knows that Durin is a person who likes to give impromptu speeches, which is why many people like him because he is not hypocritical enough, although in some people's eyes this is precisely what makes him the most hypocritical.

He looked at the camera, at the reporters, pursed his lips, his brow furrowed slightly, and it was clear from his body that he had shaken twice that he seemed nervous, which had never happened before.

Du Lin apologized to everyone, saying that he felt ashamed and sorry for inviting everyone over at this busy time and delaying everyone's time - Golden March will always be a grand event for the journalists, and they have enough news and scandals to please the public.

The reporters said that it didn't matter, after all, Duhring's press conference was never criticized, and Doolin not only invented the rule of "carriage and horse fare", but also the most arrogant boss, not one of them.

Everyone wants to come to Doolin's press conference, even if they don't have an invitation, and they have to make their own and squeeze in.

"There's only one thing I'm going to announce today, and it's just ......one sentence," he said, looking at the reporters in the theater, then took two steps back and bowed deeply.

This action made some reporters stand up in fright, and before they could ask questions, Du Lin straightened up and walked back to the side of the podium, bowing his head slightly, "From now on, I will quit the new party!" After a pause, he added "I'm sorry."

Suddenly, like a huge bomb exploded in the opera house, in front of everyone who watched the live broadcast, and exploded in the ears of Holmes under the stars and moon, and everyone lost the ability to speak and think in an instant.

As the successor of Maggs, the leader of the new generation of the New Party, who is now regarded as the first person to be able to resolve the crisis within the party, the younger generation deserves to announce ...... Quitting the New Party?

The bomb exploded, but Durin didn't, he said thank you and quickly left through the side door, and when he left, it took about twenty or thirty seconds for the reporters to react and rush towards the side door.

The news was so explosive that it was definitely the first international news of the month, and everyone wanted to figure out what had happened so that Doolin would quit the new party.

From south to north, from east to west, Magus, Kubal, Odega, Homs in front of the TV...... , countless politicians who shook the empire almost at the same time wanted to figure out what Durin wanted to do!

Leaving that aside, Durin got out of the car and left the theater, unbuttoning his bow tie and removing the cufflinks, which the heat made less comfortable.

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

Be a man and leave a line?

It may be that there will be such an opportunity in society, leaving the last vestiges of dignity for the enemy, not only to sublimate one's own benevolence, but also to gain a chance when encountering the same situation.

But in politics, leaving someone else a way back is the equivalent of climbing to the top of a mountain and breaking your own leg.

It would have been a very ordinary internal election battle, and if Holmes didn't go off the beaten track, Doolin wouldn't mind having a fair vote with him, even though Holmes would definitely lose.

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

Compared with the routine of off-the-field recruitment, Du Lin is the father!

The car he was riding in soon disappeared into the city's traffic, but because of the impact of this incident, it will continue to ferment and eventually form a storm of public opinion.

Lying in the hospital, Maggs tried to get up several times, but in the end he still did not move, he believed that in this empire, among those politicians he knew, playing above board, Durin may not be able to win, but playing these messes, Durin will definitely not lose.

Mags trusted Doolin, but Coobal not, and it was about one o'clock in the afternoon that he got the phone to Doolin.

As soon as Durin's voice rang on the other side of the phone, he tore at his collar and roared, "Do you know what you're doing?"

He uses prepositions to greet the other parent's parents to express his strong emotions and to express his dissatisfaction by adding verbs, but for some reason these less civilized words are not put into writing.

Durin was always shocked, "I know, sir, I'm an adult and I know what I've done. ”

Kubal hula hula panted, and it took a while for him to pinch his forehead and calm down, "You quit the new party, but you didn't say hello to me, you ruined the most important thing for me and Mags!"

He tried to keep his tone as calm as possible, the new party and the old party were a system of stable social and imperial political environment proposed by Maggs, and in any case there must be reliable people controlling both parties within the two-party system.

Kubar already has a candidate on the side of the old party, and the new party is basically already Dulin, but Dulin's sudden decision will change a lot of things, affecting many people and interests, which makes Kubar shocked and angry.

Durin smiled and comforted, "It's going to be fine, believe me, sir, in less than a week I'll be the vice chairman of the new party, it's just a small plan." ”

Kubal was stunned for a moment before falling silent, and 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, didn't answer, got up and left directly, during this time he would temporarily disappear from the sight of the people, waiting for things to continue to ferment.

The bomb he dropped has already worked, and the trick of retreating 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 worry about solving these problems.

Holmes may not be a "gentleman", but he definitely can't be a "villain", and eventually, he will personally invite Durin back to the New Party and personally send him to the position of vice chairman, unless he wants to be abandoned by the whole empire!

Durin walked very easily, he went straight up, but this upset a lot of people who wanted to find out what was going on, including Holmes.

Holmes was completely incomprehensible to Duhring's actions, and to be precise, there were very few retreats in Western values, and people were more interested in showing their superiority and crushing their opponents.

So Durin's move surprised everyone, and even Maggs was taken aback.

Holmes couldn't guess what Durin wanted to do, he didn't have a bottom in his heart, and often when he didn't have a bottom in his heart, it would make people uneasy, and the only thing he could do at this time was to contact more people as soon as possible and determine the position of his vice chairman.

Only in this way can he deal with Durin's move, no matter what he did, as long as his ass sat firm, even if he did something more amazing, it couldn't change the final outcome.

Politics is so serious that sometimes even if everybody knows it's wrong, but in order to maintain the image, to maintain the majesty, to maintain some consistent accuracy, to be right, even the wrong people will follow it until after a while.

For three days in a row, there seemed to be no reversal of time, and even Maggs began to be suspicious, when suddenly a piece of gossip began to circulate, saying that Holmes had the handle or evidence of Doolin's death, and used this as a threat to force Dührin to withdraw from the competition and quit the new party, so as to get an opportunity in the next job transfer within the new party.

Although this news sparked people's spread, everyone did not particularly believe that Holmes was also a successful governor, a qualified public figure, and there was not much market for splashing dirty water.

Moreover, Dulin's press conference was brainless, only the results were said without saying the reason, and the random speculation could not arouse the close attention of the society, but this news attracted the attention of many politicians.

There is no doubt that Durin made a move, but it was just ...... Many people feel that if it is just these tricks, the plane is not enough to see, the risk is too great, and they will lose money!

But that night, both the Imperial Daily and Imperial Cable Channel 1 obtained a piece of information, which caused a sensation in the whole society.

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

No wonder Durin will withdraw from the competition and quit the new party, but this also makes people a little puzzled, if it is just this, there is no need to make trouble to the point of quitting the new party, right?

How could Durin's consistent strength be so decisive and complete that he would admit defeat and surrender and be defeated?

There must have been something that people didn't know about, and this doubt only lasted until the prime time of the next night, when Durin himself appeared in front of the camera.
