Chapter 102 It’s the New Year
"That's what you have to do this afternoon, look at it all and tell me what you think."
"Gorask, you are very smart, very smart, so I won't hide it from you. Although you are my secretary, your rights, especially the projects you are responsible for in Zaun, only have the rights and weight of Li Li. "Ke, I am truly the fourth person in Zaun under Fandral."
"But now, I need to examine you. Remember, my eyes are always watching you."
"Thank you, Sir Hilko."
"Just call me sir, there are no gangs in Zaun now." Hilko said seriously while looking at Lenata who was sitting at the small desk and put her hand on the table.
Lenata smiled, shrugged and said nothing.
Doesn't she understand?
She is disgusting with Hilko!
She was telling Hilko, you have obviously done more bad things than me, but now you are pretending like this, are you embarrassed?
Hilko also understood what Lenata meant, sneered, put on his clothes and went out. He still had something to say to Li Ke.
Lenata looked at the room after Hilko left, snorted coldly, stood up from the small desk, and walked straight to the large desk that belonged to Hilko in the room.
Sitting down on the soft and comfortable chair, Lenata touched her chin, thinking about what she should do to pull Hilko off the stage, and then sit in this position. No. If possible, she wanted to sit in another office. inside.
But at this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Lenata stood up quickly, and Hilko looked at her with a half-smile.
"Why, you've just adapted to the secretarial work? Are you trying to help me clean my desk?"
"Uh, yes, I see the table is a bit messy." Lenata said immediately.
"Hmm~ That's great. I'll trouble you, my secretary. When I come back, I hope to see that the room is spotless and the items on the table are neatly arranged. Of course, the work I just assigned to you cannot be left behind. .”
"Yes."
Hilko and Renata looked at each other, and then he closed the door.
Lenata sighed.
"Fuck you."
She had always wanted to stay elegant and learn good manners, but she finally couldn't help it and cursed Hilko in this room.
Conversations between smart people often do not require enlightenment.
Lenata knew what Hilko meant, and Hilko also understood what Lenata was doing.
But so what?
——————
"Why did she become your secretary?"
"Li Ke, Lenata is indeed a talent, but she is so similar to me, so similar. People like her are not easy to control." In the snack shop outside the parliament building, Hilko and Li Ke Having afternoon tea.
Two glasses of wine with lemon juice, a plate of baked cookies, and a pile of fragrant barbecue.
Regardless of how the barbecue and drinks appear in the dim sum shop, as long as you know that this is the style of the Zaun people, this is Taizuan!
"People like us can use any means to achieve our goals, and we happen to be very capable, so in your words, there is no morality at all, and human life is not worth anything in front of us. Mention, she and I are both bombs." Hilko drank the wine, the sourness of the lemon juice made him frown, and he continued:
"But I have restraints. The one who restrains me is Zu An. Everything I do is to make Zu An better. So no matter how much I explode, it is impossible to affect the current Zu An. But Li Ke, she has no restraints. Yes, everything she does is for herself, so if she is not properly controlled, Lenata will bring big trouble to Zaun.”
"It makes sense, so how should we manage it?" Li Ke nodded.
Just learn from my father-in-law’s life experience!
"It's like your behavior of trying to give her a position today when you come up. That's not okay. It won't make her appreciate you and think you value her. Instead, it will make her look down on you and think you are easy to control. So, you have to suppress it first. Let her understand who is in power in Zu An."
"If a dog does something well, he will be rewarded with bones. If he cannot do something well, he will give him a kick. This is my experience in training dogs. People are complicated, but the theory is the same." Silko said calmly: "Sticks and dates, Not one less.”
"Forget it, I can't understand even if you tell me." Li Ke sighed and ate.
He really couldn't learn these things. In his previous life, he was an ordinary office worker. He liked to play League of Legends, watch live broadcasts, and read novels. This kind of "elite concept" Li Ke had never been exposed to.
Silko smiled and said: "You don't need to learn anything, you just need to be like this." "You are already the true leader of Zaun in everyone's eyes. Those things are important to you." It’s not a good thing, I appreciate and like you more now.”
"Oh, are you praising me, uncle?" Li Ke became amused.
Hilko basically doesn't praise people. His mouth is like making an agreement. Praising people seems to shorten his life. So no matter how well a person does, he will just give a few perfunctory words, give the rewards that should be given, and then Silent.
Even for Jinx, he seldom praises her.
"That's right." Hilko did not refute, nor was he embarrassed, but started eating along with Li Ke.
However, he was laughing in his heart.
Li Ke doesn't need to change, he is already the perfect leader now.
Delegating power is what every leader should do. It took Hilko decades to do this. He gave his rights to Severka, but he always suppressed the Alchemy Baron because of his rights. It's really fascinating. Almost no one can truly share their rights and status.
But Li Ke did it.
And he is also very powerful. This is why Hilko said that Li Ke does not need to make changes, because even if Li Ke delegates power, the people below will be afraid of Li Ke while gaining power and being changed by power.
After seeing his extraordinary strength, no one would have any second thoughts. No one would think that his head is harder than steel, right?
So in the end, in Runeterra, one's own strength is the real confidence.

"I'm going back to see Lenata's work later, what about you?"
"I'll go back to Jinx, otherwise where else can I go?" Li Ke said after finishing the food in front of him.
"What about the work at hand? You should have a lot of paper manuscripts that require your signature, right?"
"It's all passed through your hands, so I'll just sign it." Li Ke said casually.
Hilko was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and smiled.
"Okay."
After a moment, Hilko looked up again and said as if he had thought of something: "It's almost the Chinese New Year, Li Ke."
"Well, for this year's Evolution Day, Zaun will make some changes." Li Ke replied.
Every year during the New Year, Zaun becomes lifeless. Compared with Piltover, it looks like the entire Zaan is deserted.
But, not this year.
And Hilko smiled and said: "It's not just the New Year, Jinx is also celebrating her birthday soon."
"Birthday?" Li Ke was stunned, and then immediately looked at Hilko, "When is it?"
Jinx and Li Ke talked about everything, but she really didn't tell Li Ke about her birthday.
Therefore, when Hilko said that Jinx was having a birthday, Li Ke immediately became excited.
A birthday for Jinx? Of course you can!
"Well, just a few days after the evolution day?"
Hilko said calmly.
"I understand, don't tell anyone about this matter, I will make good preparations." Li Ke said loudly.
Hilko nodded, looking at Li Ke's excitement, he lowered his head and took another big bite of meat.
When you are in a good mood, your appetite will be good.
In the past, he and Severka helped organize Jinx's birthday, but in the end, Severka was often kicked away, and then Hilko helped Jinx celebrate her birthday alone.
Cream cake, a few candles, dolls and small toys as gifts.
But this time... it will be different.
Hilko believed in this.
