Suddenly, the phone on the desk of the most capable assistant rang. Everyone’s eyes were focused on him. He had never hated the ringing of the phone as much as he did now. The most capable assistant felt his scalp go numb when he heard the ringing of the phone.
The person who made the call was really persistent. No one picked up the phone on this side, but his phone was ringing one after another.
“Still not picking up?” The voice of the person at the top sounded like the voice of the devil to his right-hand man, but it also sounded like the voice of someone who was trying to save his life. He let out a sigh of relief.
“I’ll pick it up, I’ll pick it up.” The most capable assistant quickly picked up the phone that was still ringing non-stop.
However, when he picked up the phone and heard the news from the other end, he felt that the receiver in his hand was a hot potato. He had already cursed himself in his heart. He should have pretended that he did not hear the ringing of the phone just now. He should not have picked up the phone.
Now, he did not even dare think about what was waiting for him once he told his chief about this news. He couldn’t help but raise his head and carefully look at the person at the top.
He just so happened to meet the gaze of the person at the top. “Why are you looking at me? Hurry up and tell me who’s calling and what’s the latest news?” Needless to say, the person at the top had a pretty strong premonition and he had really guessed it right.
“Chief, t-that…” The assistant looked at the person at the top and stuttered, unable to come up with a reason for a long time.
Seeing the assistant who used to be very efficient and had won his heart, was now like this, the heart of the person at the top turned cold. He knew in his heart that the call just now must have been bad news.
“You’re not allowed to stutter. If there’s anything, tell me.” The person at the top looked at his most capable assistant with a sharp gaze.
His most capable assistant instantly felt the hairs on his body stand up. How could he still dare stutter and not say it clearly. “Yes, Chief. The phone call just now said that the Qu family will participate in this general election.”
“What? Did you mishear? The Qu family is going to participate in this election? How is that possible?” Everyone in the capital knew about the unwritten family rule of the Qu family.
In the past, the Qu family did not participate in the power struggle, but many families made fun of the Qu family behind their backs. They did not know how to advance. However, no matter how many people made fun of the Qu family behind their backs, the Qu family’s rule still allowed the Qu family’s descendants to stay away from the center of the power struggle.
It was no wonder that the person at the top, after hearing his assistant’s words, had a face full of disbelief.
“Chief, it’s true. This news was just released this morning. I’m afraid that it has already spread throughout the entire circle of the capital.”
“Oh? is that so? If that’s really the case, then it will be really troublesome.” Originally, the person at the top was not 100% confident that he could be re-elected. It was also because there were too many competitors this time, and they were too strong. That was why he was in a mess for a moment.
That was why the Lu family found him and threatened him. If he didn’t help the Lu family get through this difficult time, the Lu family would expose everything he had done in the past.
