387. Why did you choose him?
() Nightfall.
Fitz Manor, villa living room.
The bright crystal chandelier exudes a bright glow.
A charcoal fire burns in the fireplace, and warmth spreads through the lavishly decorated rooms.
"Julie, what's wrong?"
Gu Meng walked in from the corridor with a plate of fruit.
On the white Italian sofa, Julia frowned, as if something was bothering, and she had become like this since returning from the chancellery.
Now that the two of them have taken a nap, Gu Meng sat down, ready to ask carefully.
Julia shook her head and sighed, "Rodwell is dead, the position of the head of the Trusteeship Bureau is vacant, and Cole wants me to temporarily act as the head of the Bureau."
"Cole wants you to be acting chairman?"
Cole is the current prime minister, an old guy who has been in office for two terms and will continue to be in office.
Julia nodded, "It's just that my qualifications are relatively shallow, and it will be easy to cause dissatisfaction among others if I directly take over the work of the bureau, so I have some doubts."
Gu Meng understood.
The Trusteeship Bureau is a super agency, and there is a lot of internal work.
The dead Rodwell was a chairman, and there were seven or eight vice-chairmen below him, and more than twenty directors at the same level as Julia, who were said to be the directors of asset project processing.
There are too many leaders in the bureau, and there are mixed ideas and voices.
Julia is just a director, because she has been the boss since she was in the limelight recently, and she will definitely be questioned by others.
The Trusteeship Board is a stove, and the chairman's position is a hot potato.
If you do it well, it is a golden qualification, and if you don't do it well, it will not only affect your future, but also risk your life, and the former chairman is a bad example.
I really don't know if Cole's bald head is well-intentioned or ill-intentioned.
"Honey, do you want to take on this burden?"
Gu Meng held her hand and asked.
Julia was silent and clenched her fists tightly, "I want to try!"
"Then let's do it, don't be afraid of anything, I will always support you!"
Julia smiled at the corner of her mouth, "Gu, do you think I can do this job?"
At this time, of course, he will not pour cold water, he said seriously, "Honey, you can do this job, I never doubt this, but after taking this job, you need to put in a lot of energy and time, have you decided?"
Julia nodded, "Although I have made a little contribution to the process of reunification between the East and the West, and at the same time have gained a lot of political capital, my foundation is too shallow.
Nominally, I am the vice chairman of the New Democratic League and one of the leaders of the party, but in fact I am just an empty name and do not have much say in the faction.
The reason why they asked me to sit in the vice-chair position is because I have some influence in the GDR and can win them votes in the general election, like a mascot, but it's not what I want..."
Gu Meng listened quietly, after coming to Germany for more than a month, he learned some internal things.
After the merger of East and West, not only the territory was merged, but many parties also arranged and combined.
After the merger, some forces from the eastern region were also brought in from the merged parties.
Julia is one of them.
The parties welcomed the GDR, and they needed the support of the GDR, or as a cover for the merger of East and West. But it was not enthusiastic, because most people were still suspicious of East Germans, fearing that the East Germans would take power and lead to a revival of doctrine.
"Julie, what are your goals for the future?"
Gu Meng listened for a while and asked seriously.
Julia paused, she raised her chin slightly, "They are all mountaineers, who doesn't want to stand on the top of the mountain and enjoy the scenery from the top of the mountain?"
Gu Meng's heart was stuck for two seconds, this is so familiar, who has ever said it?
Amy!
He suddenly remembered the woman who was on the shooting range, a woman who would rather be a widow than an abandoned woman.
Amy wants to be an empress, but unfortunately she hasn't cultivated a good helper, I don't know where she is now, I don't know if she still wants to be an empress?
He looked at Julia in front of him, remembering that when they first met, she was a little shy and unsociable in the crowd.
It's only been five or six years since she became so brave and extraordinary.
Compared to them, he really has no ambitions.
Gu Meng was a little ashamed, but could he become an old A?
Don't even think about it!
"Honey, will you support me?" said Julia, staring at him intensely.
Gu Meng nodded firmly, took her hand and put it on his chest, and testified with a surging heartbeat, "Dear, I will support you with my life!"
"Oh~"
Julia was instantly moved, and was about to offer a kiss when an old voice came out from the side.
"Oh~ what a pale promise, what an empty language, my wise daughter, when will you be able to keep your eyes open and take a serious look at the man in front of you.
What was left of him but useless muscles?
Sweet?
Sweet talk?
My wise daughter, you are a sane person, why did you become so irrational after meeting this man?"
Old Fitz walked slowly into the living room from the door, with his hands behind his back and a little hunched back.
Getting closer, Gu Meng smelled a strong smell of wine, and when he looked closely, the old man's face was flushed, and the whole person was a little drunk.
He shook his head as he walked, "My wise daughter, if you want to climb the highest mountain, the first thing you need to do is to throw away this useless man, he is a burden, a dangerous factor, and his presence will affect your political life, don't you understand?"
If I were you, now I would definitely choose a marriage that is the right match, and choose a husband with energy, not a... Athletes?hahaha~"
Gu Meng looked at the old man, his face became darker and darker, what is a useless man who is useless except muscles? This bad old man is very bad! If it weren't for the fact that he was drunk, Gu Meng really wanted to find him alone.
"Father, you are wrong!"
Julia spoke up immediately, her voice firm and her attitude resolute.
"Father, do you know why I've been where I'm now?"
"Haha, you're my old Fitz's daughter, isn't success inevitable?"
Old Fitz stepped on the brown carpet, walked in front of the two step by step, and said with some smugness.
Julia shook her head and said, "Before I met Gu, I imagined that in the future, I should be like the women of other families, marry a person who is the right person, or bravely pursue love, and then get married, have children, husband and children, relying on your father's gift, I can live a safe and prosperous life."
"Isn't that bad?"
Old Fitz took a pear and sat down on the sofa opposite, clicked it, and the juice from the bite splashed everywhere, and it all fell on his beard, and he didn't have the style of a billionaire at all.
"It's good, this kind of day is what countless women can't ask for, but it's not what I want!"
Julia said lightly.
Old Fitz knew what his daughter wanted, he stopped eating pears and glanced at someone with disdain, "What can he give you what you want?"
"No, Gu can show me the way forward!"
Gu Meng wondered, when did I become a 'compass'?
Julia smiled slightly, "My dear, do you remember those international events that were told to me? and those predictions, in the international situation, you have a unique vision, you are like a prophet, you can clear the fog of time, and see the truth of the future..."
"Haha!"
Before Julia finished speaking, Old Fitz couldn't help but laugh, pointed at Gu Meng and said, "My smart daughter, take a closer look, does a person like him seem to be a wise prophet?
Everything has a law to follow, and behind the turmoil are countless invisible hands manipulating the situation.
I've been with many times about the turmoil of the stock market, the rise and fall of companies, and in the end, it's all right, why don't you worship me?"
Julia smiled, "Father, I also admired you, you were invincible in business, but now, I admire the man I chose even more!"
Old Fitz's face darkened, and he glared at someone angrily, trying to find the killer to give him a bullet again.
"Julie, tell me what he predicted?"
Julia talked about two things, one is that Gu Meng once predicted the defeat of the Soviet Union in Afghanistan, as well as the impact on the Soviet Union, the impact on the Warsaw camp, and the future changes in Eastern Europe.
"Hehe~"
In this regard, the old man dismisses it, this kind of thing still needs to be predicted?
"In '86, when Gu predicted the changes in Eastern Europe, he believed that the Berlin Wall would inevitably fall, and the merger of East and West was an important part of it, and it was an inevitable trend!"
Old Fitz frowned when he heard this, "At the 84 joint conference, someone made a judgment, he just borrowed someone else's prejudgment, Julie, you chose this man because of this?"
He shook his head, a little disappointed, "My smart daughter, you really fell for it!"
Julia smiled lightly, "Even though he says much the same thing as others, I don't trust others, I only trust him, it's an indescribable and wonderful feeling!"
Old Fitz disagreed, "Love blinds!"
This time Julia nodded rarely, "It's a little, but after I followed his advice, I would bravely stand up, put forward my own ideas, and persist in various setbacks and doubts, and finally gain rich political capital, all of which was given to me by Gu." ”
Although the elder Fitz was not happy to hear this, he had to admit that in 87, Julia wanted to enter politics and stand up as the standard-bearer of unification, and he and Julia's uncle Nack did not approve of it at that time.
Many people know in their hearts that the Berlin Wall will inevitably collapse and the two Germany will inevitably be reunified.
But no one can predict the exact time, whether it will be ten years or a hundred years?
If you speak too early, you will be beaten off as a bird, and if you speak too late, it will be in vain.
So many people are waiting and hesitating?
But at this time, Julia, her own daughter, actually stood up bravely.
When old Fitz saw his daughter bravely standing in the crowd and speaking loudly, he couldn't help but burst into tears, he was very proud, proud, and a little admired, he admired a junior for the first time.
At that time, he didn't understand why his daughter chose this path, why she stubbornly persevered, but now he knows.
Because of a man?
**~, this pear is so sour!
