Chapter 5: The Gray Entanglement: Ellie

Look back at the Support Division.

After Randy left, the atmosphere in the Support Section cooled down.

After all, it was originally a meeting, and one of the important participants suddenly left, so naturally it couldn't go on.

Everyone didn't know what to say for a while, so they could only eat silently.

It tasted the same earlier, but everyone felt that something had become strange.

You Chensi's expression was somewhat disappointed, but he was quickly hidden, his eyebrows fluttered, and he returned to his former confident look.

"Then, the morning meeting won't go on anyway, so I'll deal with the task first."

After saying hello like this, You Chensi smiled and waved his hand, and left the table first, this time, the atmosphere was even more indifferent.

"Yo? Support Division, are you still spirited? ā€

As if deliberately trying to break the awkward air, a young, somewhat flamboyant voice suddenly sounded. Dressed in a gorgeous white suit, with short light blue hair and an elegant temperament, the people who came were simply unrecognizable.

Ellie called out in an indescribable mood for a while, "Speaker Xiu." ā€

"Well, don't be polite."

Waving his hands casually, the Speaker walked to the table with a smile and sat down.

Before and after becoming the speaker, Xiu's temperament has changed.

The previous image of a high-flying, arrogant, and unscrupulous disciple is gone, and his whole person exudes the same atmosphere as if he has been an elite who has been in the political arena for many years.

However, judging from his disguise, which no one has seen through, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is an elite. After all, in politics, the main thing is deception and anti-deception.

Vincent stood quietly behind him, his insolent tomahawk-like spear resting on his shoulder.

"Speaker, what's the matter?"

Silence is always bad, and Lloyd took the initiative to talk with some nervousness.

"Hmm. Sort of. Mainly because I was too busy before, I couldn't greet you. Yo, support section, long time sparse greetings. ā€

"I guess it's the first time we met."

Theo's cold voice made Xiu laugh in a good mood, and he apologized half-truthfully: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, yes." The first meeting, of the Support Division. ā€

"Previous...... Is it really all acting? ā€

Lloyd was still a little unacceptable, he really felt a little scary, this person could hide his true heart so deeply, no matter what his heart was, it made people feel creepy.

So so did Joasim...... It's so hidden. Lloyd's expression darkened a little again.

"Haha, about 30% of it is fake."

"Seventy percent of them are true?"

Ellie was taken aback and got the reaction she wanted, and the Speaker waved her hand in a good mood to sit down.

"I came here today mainly to thank you for your efforts. Without you, the chaos caused by the D∓G Order would not have been able to subside so quickly. It is also thanks to you that I was able to successfully ascend to the top. Thank you very much. ā€

As he spoke, the Speaker stood up, bowed in a standard manner, and bent down his noble spine. If he had been a few months ago, he would never have done that.

Hearing him say this, Ellie felt a little uncomfortable, as if her job was only done in order to make the cultivation better. Moreover, Xiu squeezed down his grandfather, which made Ellie unable to congratulate him from the bottom of her heart. She hesitated for a while, and finally said a scene: "It's nothing, we're just for the autonomous prefecture." ā€

"Well said. I'm here today to inform you by the way. All officers were dismissed, but the following remained: I, as Speaker, and my vice-chair was Miss Ellie's grandfather, former Mayor McDowell. Mayor Dita, Commander Sonya. The deputy commander was Douglas, an instructor at the police station and a former member of the garrison. So, do you hear what's going on? ā€

After Xiu finished speaking, with a deep smile, he sat with his arms on his chin, looking at their worried faces with interest.

Actually, it's quite a simple question. Ellie reacted immediately.

"You want to say...... Understaffed? ā€

"That's right."

Yes. to an independent autonomous oblast...... No, even from the perspective of an ordinary subordinate state government, this personnel is a bit too refined. It's true that government agencies shouldn't be too large, but too few people are definitely not good for productivity.

"But it can't be helped. Different conditions require different medications. Now Cross Bell is terminally ill, and ordinary drugs can't work at all, so he can only use severe drugs and work hard...... I can't help it. ā€

Although Xiu was talking about serious topics, he added with a relaxed expression on his face: "But don't worry, the **** of each department will start today." There is also the selection of new recruits for the police station and the garrison. It will be reorganized in about a week, but it will take about a month to get started, considering the handover of work and the training of new employees. Until then...... It's a lot of work. ā€

Xiu's eyes glanced at Ellie, intentionally or unintentionally, and Ellie opened her eyes sideways to look at him. Xiu's meaning is very clear, and he hopes that Ellie can enter politics to alleviate the current shortage of manpower.

However, this also means that Ellie may not be able to participate in the work of the Support Division.

It made it difficult for her to choose.

Once, when Mayor McDowell was attacked, she also thought about quitting her job in the Support Section to assist her grandfather. But now and then it's different. Ellie was in a dilemma.

I still remember that at that time, my grandfather hoped that he could make a choice, instead of blindly following the crowd and giving up his current job because of his injury.

But now, what should you do?

Perhaps sensing Ellie's entanglement, Theo kindly diverted the topic and asked, "Why did the Speaker do this?" ā€

"What?"

"Why are you doing this? Including pretending to be the second ancestor, and being so tough as soon as he came to power. ā€

"Hmm...... That's a good question. ā€

Xiu touched his chin, his bright eyes turning around flexibly.

"Probably, it's because I want to be in the spotlight."

"Focus?"

Xiu's words made everyone stunned, and they didn't quite understand what he was talking about.

Generally speaking, the son of Speaker Harman, this status alone is enough to become the focus of all classes. Moreover, even if he didn't want to be shrouded in his father's brilliance, Xiu didn't necessarily have to do such a thing.

"Throughout history, those who can leave a name among them are either unparalleled brave generals in the world, or wise ministers in the world, or politicians who turn the tide. In short, it will not be a mediocre person. In the case of the Harman family, history will remember the man who made the name of Harman a nobleman. But earlier, and those who came after him would be gradually forgotten. I discovered this problem when I was a kid looking at family genealogy. Moreover, I was born in a bad era. The place of birth is also not good. If I had been thirty years earlier, I would have reformed the empire and become the pioneer of Erebonia, and if I hadn't been born in Crossbell, I might have had the opportunity to make a difference. It's a pity, though. I was born in a period when the empire was at its peak and had begun to divide the faction into infighting, and I was also born in a political darkness that could not be turned back, Ellie, you didn't choose to enter politics, is it also because politicians really have no way out? ā€

Without waiting for Ellie to answer, Xiu licked her tongue and continued:

"So, when I was very young, I decided. I want to lead Crossbell to prosperity, free from the interference of the two great powers, and become a truly independent country. Accept the writing of history as President of the State as Cross Bell. When you are born in the world, you have to leave something behind. This is the path I have chosen, it is the only one I can do, and only when I do it, will I recognize my own path. ā€

Ending with a light-hearted shrug, the Speaker ended the conversation, but everyone was immersed in his rhetoric and could not let go for a long time.

It has to be said that, the approach aside, his idea is very grandiose. If he wants to leave his name in history and write his own value, he must first climb to the top. But in front of him, the father, the imperialists, the republicans, are all enemies. Moreover, in normal times, even if you climb to the top, it is impossible to carry out a purge like a dictatorship.

He can do this, and it is inseparable from the previous Klos Bell ****. Joachim's crazy move directly reduced the government's WeChat to a minimum, so that everyone in the two factions was in danger, and they panicked and launched Xiu as a shield, and tried in vain to continue to consolidate their power, but they didn't expect that all this was expected by Xiu.

This easy-going young man, a boy who looks about the same age as Theo, is actually the biggest winner of Cross Bell ****. If Joachim is the messy dealer (the dealer in the casino), then Xiu is the casino owner. No matter how much money the dealer makes, in the end, it is to make money for the boss.

Xiu's words shocked Ellie's heart, and she suddenly realized that she didn't know her way out.

Can he be like him, so convinced of his future and dedicate his youth to it?

After all, what is your goal?

At first, Ellie's goal in joining the Support Division was just to see the political situation from another perspective, and in the end, she still wanted to enter politics.

So now is not the best chance?

In the end, should I accept this invitation?
