Power is like a terrible chronic poison of dependence, once it is taken, it can no longer be separated from it.

No matter what kind of poison occurs during the period, it cannot change people's thirst and fear for it.

Everyone knows that power is not and should not be the whole of people's lives, and that there are many things around them that are more valuable than power.

They can even cite many examples to prove the correctness of their views, such as family, friends, life, .......

But in the end, these enumerations are meaningless and worthless, because the toxicity of power is too fierce and too difficult to remove, and even if there is a moment of sobriety, it will eventually be silent in the whirlpool of power.

Those who have not tasted this poison will never know the joy that it brings, and the feeling that surpasses all that is beyond all that is possible in the world is the most beautiful and fascinating, and it acts directly on the deepest part of the soul, blasting the soul to pieces with a bang.

Lady Dolly listened calmly to every word that Durin said, but when the words were put together in a sentence, she could not remain calm enough.

Is it because she craves power and has strong ambitions?

Actually, it's not, it's just power, which can be said to have no life, no soul, not even a substance, just a word that exists in people's perception of everything in the world!

From Nomira and Kevin pulling each other to each other's clothes being ripped off, to Alice's unhesitating moth to the fire, is it moral degradation or a distortion of human nature?

No, it's power that's at work, that's the terrible thing about power, if you fall into the poison of power, you will have no ego in the future, no one can resist the erosion of this poison, not even Durin!

As the fourth person in the New Party Committee, Ms. Dolly can be said to be standing at the top of the Empire's tower, and in terms of power in her hands, the entire Empire can surpass her by less than fifty people!

And there is not much gap between her and those in front of her, they all belong to the kind of insignificant gap that can catch up with a little effort, and fall behind if you slack a little.

Now, an opportunity was in front of her, her breathing had begun to rapidize a little, and the focus of her gaze was constantly changing, reflecting her inner struggle.

Climbing higher and taking control of one's own destiny is the greatest wish of almost all intelligent beings, and neither does Lady Dolly.

She also wants to sit in the position where she can only watch, touch, and sit on the position where she can only watch for tens of thousands of days and nights, and can't touch or sit on it, whether it is really as comfortable or awkward as she imagined.

She also has some thoughts that may seem naïve and stupid to others, and she is reluctant to share them with others.

She knows that her biggest shortcoming is her gender, in politics women will always be deputies, and there may be opportunities to dominate the political side at the bottom, but the higher she goes, the lower the possibility of women participating in politics.

But now, one may be placed in front of her.

She thought seriously, the slightly loose eyelids made her eyes look bigger, and after a moment she picked up the teacup and took a sip, stood up and took the bag and said goodbye to Durin, "Today's flower tea is very good, if I have a decision, I will tell you!"

Durin stood up and sent her to the end, and Lady Dolly raised her hand to stop Durin, said a word to stay, turned around and put on her sunglasses and pushed the door away.

Walking out of the library, she glanced back at the smiling Durin inside the glass door, and suddenly felt that this young man was really annoying.

Whatever his purpose or thoughts, at least his current plan was successful, and success made Dolly start to think a little cranky.

With the help of the driver, she got into the car, and after giving the order to go home, she raised the dark glass pane between the cab and the passenger compartment, pressed her temples with both hands, and the young man gave her a problem.

A lot of times things are so interesting, when she doesn't know what Durin is going to do or what to do, she doesn't have the heart to gain and lose as much as she does now.

But when she found out, she would be worried, even if the rest of the story had nothing to do with her.

When she returned home, the villa was empty, and she casually placed her glasses and some small accessories on a special red velvet cushion next to the entrance, and the maid of the house would put them where they should be.

After changing her shoes, she went back to her room and changed into her home clothes, and after about forty-five minutes of exercising in the activity room, she took a shower and appeared in the living room.

He took a bite of a fruit with some droplets on it, sat cross-legged on the couch, and turned on the TV, which was being replayed the prime-time show the night before.

She casually asked, "Where's the gentleman?"

The maid, who was busy cleaning up, hurriedly replied, "Mr. said that he won't be back tonight, Madame......"

There was no disappointment on Dolly's face, which had become almost normal for four days a week.

Her husband is a businessman and a broker, and his main job is to get some approvals or urgently needed materials through some special means, and then sell them to other people.

In this way, he can run his business without investing any capital, and at the same time make enough profits without any risk.

Every year, those who once had unlimited scenery are telling everyone with the fact of their own death that not doing business is not really as people say, it is definitely not a loss, and there is a great risk, but what people often see are those who are glamorous and successful in the spotlight, and no one will pay attention to the homeless or beggars on the side of the road, whether they were once a rich person.

The sound of such a change of hands made Dolly's husband have a certain reputation in the imperial capital and even in the central and southern business circles, and he was known as "Mr. No Problem with a Very Methodical Way", as long as the money was in place, he could basically make the impossible possible.

Of course, this is not more about his own skills, but on Dolly's status as the current vice chairman of the New Party Committee, even in the past, she was not as powerful as she is now, but she also has the label of "Maggs's important confidant", and that is better.

Because Mr. No Problem is no problem at work, this makes many people deliberately maintain a relationship with him, starting in the morning, the party will continue until he is lying in bed and ready to rest.

Even sometimes when he was lying in bed, the party was not over, and he had to sweat to barely get through the day.

It has become customary not to come home or to come home late, and Dolly herself often comes home late, or sometimes not at home – her office has breakouts where she can rest in the evenings.

There are exceptions, though, as the duo chooses to return home by 5 p.m. every Friday at noon, and then wait for their children to come back for the weekend.

Many people call them "model couples", never quarrel, let alone fight, and often go out with the family on weekends to play or go out, there is no more harmonious family than them.

But only they know that all this is just an illusion.

In this family, Dolly is arrogant, since she entered the society, all the people she has come into contact with are the top elites of this society, each of whom not only has strong personal ability, but also this admirable identity background.

Growing up in such an environment, Dolly doesn't look down on her husband, it's just an ordinary husband who doesn't have anything to be proud of, and their union is just to fulfill her own social responsibility.

Compared to Dolly's arrogance, Mr. No Problem treats his family coldly, maybe he was once enthusiastic and wanted to change some things through hard work, but he couldn't do it, and Dolly didn't give him such a chance.

Gradually, he understood his position and value in this family and society, and he found a new goal and direction in life, and family was just a precondition for maintaining his status in society.

As for their children, that could be the beginning of a tragedy, and whether it will end in tragedy is another matter.

The chandeliers over the hall made it impossible to find any shadow on the floor, and the sound from the TV echoed in the empty room, and Dolly sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, watching the TV intently, laughing a few times from time to time, and then the smile quickly faded and the laughter would stop.

A little cold, this is her idea, she watched the TV, inexplicably thought of the simple words that Durin said to her, and thought a little distracted, and even time was ignored by her.

By the time she got out of her thoughts, it was already dark outside.

Sitting alone in a large dining room, I finished a small bowl of low-calorie dinner by myself, freshened up and lay down on the bed.

Turning off the lights and looking at the decorations on the ceiling, her lips moved before she entered her dream.

Chairman...... Is it?

She seemed to have forgotten that in her plan she was supposed to talk to Maggs on the phone and tell Maggs about Doolin's behavior.

Compared to Dorin, she actually believed that Magus could control everything, the whole empire revolved around that man for thirty years, nothing could stump him, and nothing could defeat him!

But inexplicably, Dolly seemed to have forgotten her previous thoughts, and until the moment she closed her eyes, she didn't remember the call she needed to make.

She closed her eyes and fell asleep, in which people humbly hovered around her, including her husband, including her children, who all called her ......

"Chairman Dolly!"
