Chapter 416: New and Old Forces
After Wang Tao arrived at the city hall, he happened to meet Gu Yun sending a group of people downstairs. Among this group of people, several are awakened persons from various major forces.
Wang Tao was not familiar with them, so when they met, they nodded slightly to show hello.
After a while, Gu Yun came back again.
"Mr. Wang, please come upstairs!"
"Mayor Gu is very busy today!"
Wang Tao said with a smile.
"Hey, what mayor! Acting mayor, acting mayor!" Gu Yun waved his hand, and then said, "I have made appointments with many awakened people today, and in addition to dealing with disaster relief matters, It’s really a bit busy.”
“They are all hired by others?”
Wang Tao raised his eyebrows.
"That's right! Please take a seat..."
Gu Yun brought Wang Tao to his mayor's office and personally made Wang Tao a cup of hot tea.
"You know, I have no interest in serving in the city hall or anything."
Wang Tao spoke directly.
"Hey, the situation now is different from before. Don't refuse in a hurry, just listen to what I have to say..."
Gu Yun sighed, and then explained carefully.
"The impact of Mayor Yao's death is far greater than I expected. For example, the fact that I can become the acting mayor is something I never expected before..."
“Although the city hall announced that Mayor Yao died accidentally, many people know that the matter is not that simple. "There is a high probability that Mayor Yao will be assassinated..."
"Even the top administrator in the base can be easily assassinated. What do you think other officials would think about being able to hang out in the city hall?" There are not many enemies! So in the past two days, everyone in the city hall felt in danger..."
" Oh, by the way, because I just took over Mayor Yao's job and my own lack of ability...so my work efficiency is far less than Mayor Yao. I agree, but I have to explain why the efficiency will be reduced. There are so many reasons, not only for me, but also for other people's reasons - because many people are worried about whether They were killed by their opponents during the mission, so they couldn't work hard. After all, Mayor Yao was still at home, and he froze to death in the snow in the yard, and they had to brave the wind and snow to carry out the mission. Yes, if there is a slight accident, he will definitely follow in the footsteps of Mayor Yao..."
"Although everyone is afraid of death, it is understandable. But it obviously affects the work efficiency of the city hall. And since the assassination is the first of its kind, it will definitely not be just once. If such an assassination occurs in the future, it will have a great impact on the base. The impact will definitely get bigger and bigger!”
“So it’s better to replace people now and let ordinary people do small jobs honestly. Although the upper limit is not high, at least there are few conflicts. Don't worry about being assassinated - even if they are assassinated, it will not affect the operation of the base, and some important positions in the base will have to be filled by people with powers, especially those of you who are powerful and are not afraid of assassinating the awakened ones!" br>
"If you are allowed to hold important positions, I believe no one will dare to take action against you, right? Taking a step back, even if someone really wants to pull out the tiger's teeth, it will definitely not be possible silently. At that time, as long as there is something If there is any movement, then he can't escape!"
"So...please! After all, we are all part of the base, and we should contribute to the base! You may not know, just because of Yao! The death of the mayor has caused how many people have died in the past two days..."
Gu Yun looked at Wang Tao seriously.
After listening to Gu Yun's words, Wang Tao didn't know what to say for a while.
As old as he is, he has never seen someone begging to be an official like this... But I have to say that what Gu Yun said makes sense. If someone is assassinated next time, causing the base to be paralyzed all of a sudden, it will be a very dangerous situation for the entire base. It is better to let some strong people take up important positions now, so that even if they are inferior in work ability, at least it will not cause the base to be paralyzed!
But understanding is understanding, Wang Tao still has some problems.
“What I’m more curious about is, if it really turns out to be what you said, with people with superpowers taking up key positions in the base, then this would be a big blood change! Such a big thing can be accomplished overnight ?”
There is a hidden meaning in Wang Tao’s words, and that is the issue of distribution of interest groups - although people are afraid of death and do not work hard, it does not mean that they are willing to leave this position!
After this disagreement, the person was replaced. How could he be willing?
Gu Yun obviously knew what Wang Tao meant, and he immediately whispered:
"This matter cannot be that simple, but it is a foregone conclusion, even if someone objects. ——To tell you the truth, the committee has been arguing for two days about this matter! Finally, with a slight advantage of one vote, the resolution of 'big change' was finally passed..."
"The committee actually Passed?”
Wang Tao suddenly looked surprised.
"That's for sure! If the committee hadn't passed the resolution and issued specific instructions, I wouldn't have dared to invite so many superpowers to hold important positions!"
Gu Yun said immediately.
"That's it..."
Wang Tao originally thought that this was just Gu Yun's idea, or the idea of Gu Yun and other senior officials of the city hall. After all, theoretically, the city of the base The leader is qualified to appoint all positions in the base except the committee... But unexpectedly, the committee has already voted!
He remembers that there don’t seem to be any awakened people among these 23 committee members, right?
In the eyes of the awakened, in terms of strength alone, these committee members are no different from ordinary people!
In other words, if the awakened people can hold important positions in the city hall today, wouldn't they be able to directly become committee members tomorrow?
After all, these committee members are not very strong personally. If someone were to assassinate them, wouldn't it affect the development of the base? Wouldn't it be more reasonable to let the awakened people serve as committee members...
That's why Wang Tao was so surprised.
If this is just the idea of Gu Yun and the city hall, it means that they even do not hesitate to touch the interests of the committee for the sake of reform. Wang Tao thinks they are very talented.
But if this is the decision of the committee members, then this is not only a reform, but also a knife cut by the committee on itself first! Because they have vested interests!
Wang Tao had to admire his courage!
Although, Wang Tao also thinks that this reform path is right - after all, when the strength of superpowers becomes stronger in the future, they will definitely feel that these weak people are not qualified to order powerful people. People, even in the future, there should be many people who have this idea now - but you know, you know, this is a matter that affects your vital interests after all!
If they pass this resolution, it means that they may be replaced by someone stronger! It is indeed very courageous for people like them who are already at the top of the base to be willing to pass such a resolution.
This illustrates a problem - they are not thinking about themselves, but the entire base!
However, Gu Yun also said just now that the committee passed this decision with a slight advantage of one vote. Obviously, at least half of the committee members are unwilling to pass this decision - wait, they have a total of 23 committee members, but they only have one more vote, which means that 12 committee members voted in favor...
< br>Wang Tao suddenly frowned and looked at Gu Yun. "Which 12 committee members agreed? Could it be..."
Gu Yun didn't say anything because it was confidential, but he didn't deny it either. He knew what Wang Tao was talking about. What.
“Sure enough!”
Wang Tao suddenly realized.
He said how come these committee members are so courageous and aware, and are willing to sacrifice their own interests for the sake of the base! It turns out that -
The base has a total of 23 committee members. Within the six major legions, each legion has 2 committee members, so the six major legions have a total of 12 committee members! The remaining 11 committee members were distributed among other forces.
So in other words, the 12 committee members who agreed are all from the six major legions!
At this critical moment, these ideologically aware old comrades are indeed reliable!
Wang Tao sincerely admires that most people cannot be selfless, including Wang Tao himself, but they can do it!
Of course, although their personal strength is not strong, the six legions are ridiculously strong. With the six legions here, even if the awakened ones want to deal with them and replace them, they have to weigh it. So they don’t have to worry about being replaced so quickly now. They are preparing in advance for the future of the base...
"The future development of the base still depends on you powerful awakeners! Please ask the king Sir, you must come to the city hall to serve!"
Gu Yun looked at Wang Tao seriously.
Looking at Gu Yun's sincere expression, Wang Tao fell into deep thought.
After he understood these things, he could probably understand why Gu Yun always wanted him to serve. It was most likely because of the other 11 committee members.
Although this resolution was passed, there were still 11 committee members who opposed it. If Gu Yun wants to implement this policy in the future, it will most likely not go smoothly, so Gu Yun needs someone to support him!
Now in various positions in the city hall, those who are weak but still hold important positions have contributed to the base since its establishment. They have their current status, and most of them use the fruits of their own labor. exchanged.
Objectively speaking, they have indeed brought a lot of benefits to the development of the base and they have made great contributions.
But after the committee made this decision, these people will be asked to leave their posts and retire directly... Even if the remuneration after retirement is very generous, it still feels a bit like killing the donkey. After all, no matter how generous it is, The treatment is not as good as the real power in hand.
And to be honest, they were a little aggrieved because no one knew there was such a thing as awakening at that time. Did they not want to awaken? They are out of luck!
So it is normal for them not to want to retire. After all, not everyone has a selfless heart. These people are considered "traditional forces".
Now these powerful supernatural beings and awakened ones belong to the "new forces".
The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the new forces are destined to beat the traditional forces to death on the beach. It is just a matter of time. But... isn't it still early!
Besides, as long as they can stay in their position for a long time and find ways to get all kinds of good things through their own rights, they might be able to awaken and become a new force!
The so-called traditional forces and new forces are not the focus. The focus is one's own power, identity and status.
Wang Tao’s goal is very clear, which is to become stronger and his own strength will continue to grow! And if you become stronger, you will be able to have any status.
But this is not necessarily the case for others. After all, it is dangerous to become powerful, and you may die outside one day. If you can hold a good position in the base, you can usually go to work, fish, and harvest. Wouldn't it be nice to receive gifts and occasionally unspoken rules for your subordinates?
So, this reform matter is bound to cause a big disturbance, and both new forces and traditional forces will fight for their own interests. Gu Yun may feel that he is a little out of control. He needs powerful allies, such as Wang Tao...
Wang Tao is not optimistic about those traditional forces. He believes that strength speaks for itself. Although you need to abide by the rules in the base, if you don't abide by the rules, for example, if you, an awakened person, kill someone on the street, you will also be judged. Although you are strong, the six legions are not vegetarians, and the current awakened ones cannot withstand bullets.
But as long as you are strong, you can completely avoid the so-called rules! Yao Guodong's backstabbing is a good example. The murderer has not been caught so far - of course, he will be caught by Wang Tao soon because the murderer is not strong enough.
However, Gu Yun is still a little unsure. Wang Tao can also guess the reason for his lack of confidence, because he is only a third-level superpower user.
Theoretically, only those who are awakened or those with awakening potential can be called new forces. Gu Yun is actually considered a traditional force because he is neither an awakened person nor one with awakening potential. He definitely wanted to become an awakened person in his heart, but he also knew that he would not have any chance in a short time. So he needs the Awakened allies to give him confidence...
"Then what positions do you have here?"
Wang Tao asked curiously.
This meant asking Gu Yun where he planned to serve.
“There are so many positions now!”
Gu Yun immediately brought a notebook and wrote a lot of them densely, both important and ordinary ones, but most of the positions were written in the back All have names.
“Good guy, you are planning to directly change the blood of the city hall!”
Wang Tao was a little surprised. Although he thought that the traditional forces would be slowly replaced, what if this happened all at once? Is it a bit too aggressive to replace so many people? Let’s not talk about whether they are willing or not. Of course, they can force the change if they don’t want to, but the question is, if there are so many people suddenly changed, can they manage the base well?
"Ahem, this is just my plan. It is definitely not possible to change everything for the time being. I can only take my time. I personally think you can hold this position again..."
Gu Yun pointed out some important positions. These Positions are currently occupied.
Gu Yun obviously has his own little thoughts. If Wang Tao chooses this, to a certain extent, it can be regarded as transferring the conflict to Wang Tao. However, he said it directly and did not deliberately deceive people. After all, these are important positions.
Wang Tao didn't care if there was anyone. He didn't believe that anyone would dare to trip him up, but he really wasn't interested.
But at the end, when Wang Tao found a temporarily vacant position, he thought for a moment, then pointed:
"Then I'll give you a favor, let's do this."
"Huh? The principal of Changhe Awakening School? This is a project that is still under planning. It is not certain whether the committee will approve it..."
Gu Yun suddenly frowned.
“It doesn’t matter, that’s it.”
Wang Tao waved his hand.
He came to "work" for the city hall, which already gave Gu Yun a lot of face, so he couldn't choose a place where it was easy to fish? Of course, the focus is not on fishing, but on Wang Tao’s ability, which seems to be able to be used here...
