A Bumpy Road to Power

"Leave? That easy? What is this, a marketplace? Come and go as you please? Since you're here, sit down obediently. You want to go —"

At this point.

Brynn Quincy picked up a bottle of white liquor and slammed it down in front of Dirk Carter.

Pointing at the bottle, he said, "Drink it all, drink it all and I'll let you go!"

Mona couldn't bear it anymore.

She was just about to stand up.

Wanda Griffin glared at her and shook her head, making it clear that, with Lane Quincy present, they had to give the Quincy Family some face. As for Dirk Carter, he was insignificant.

It's not that the Camden Family fears the Quincy Family.

But in the face of status.

Considering the cost of offending either side.

Of course.

Dirk Carter had another perspective.

In his view.

Alexander Camden did it on purpose.

He wanted Brynn Quincy to make a scene, as long as it got out of hand, he could go with the flow and nullify the engagement between Brynn Quincy and his daughter.

This might be the reason Alexander Camden had not intervened with Brynn Quincy's behavior.

"You're going too far."

Dirk Carter said.

Brynn Quincy laughed heartily, pointing at his own face and asking, "Too far? How am I going too far? Don't forget, I'm paying for this meal. If it weren't for me, you'd not be dining in such a fancy place. You should be grateful to me, yet you're calling me excessive, what's the saying... oh, something about 'biting the hand that feeds'..."

"That's right, young man. You're new to Novaria State, and Brynn is teaching you some life's lessons. If you don't appreciate it in officialdom, your career may not go far..."

Hannah Jacobson chimed in with a mocking tone.

"Alright then, since that's the case, I won't hold back..."

Dirk Carter snorted coldly.

He was just about to say something.

At that moment, the door suddenly swung open.

That young person who had been trailing behind them all along, looking like a secretary, suddenly walked in.

First, he bowed to everyone.

Then he went straight to Alexander Camden.

Bent down.

And whispered something in his ear.

Alexander Camden's expression changed, he asked, "When did he arrive?"

The secretary said, "The Organization Department said he arrived this afternoon, the office forgot to send a car to pick him up, so he's been settled in first."

"Which hotel is he staying at?"

Alexander Camden asked.

The secretary scratched his head and said, "I didn't ask that, but I managed to get his phone number."

"Hey Alexander, what's going on?"

Lane Quincy noticed and asked in surprise.

Alexander Camden said, "The new Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary has arrived."

Upon hearing this.

Lane Quincy focused immediately.

He said, "Oh? That soon?"

Alexander Camden nodded and said, "Since Comrade Heriberto Sutton's incident, Silverwood City's Discipline Inspection Commission hasn't had anyone to oversee operations. Since the 626 case happened, the case cannot proceed. The new Commission Secretary arriving is a real godsend."

Lane Quincy's face showed a fleeting glimpse of malice.

Then returned to normal.

He nodded in agreement, "Indeed, the 626 case has put enormous pressure on the Silverwood City Committee, I also strongly want to meet this Commission Secretary soon."

"Call, don't you have the phone number?"

Alexander Camden seemed to have a realization and said to his secretary.

The secretary nodded.

Took out his phone.

Just about to dial.

Hannah Jacobson suddenly interrupted him and said, "Alexander, you see, today is a family dinner, the matter between the two children hasn't been settled yet, work issues should be set aside for now."

Lane Quincy heard this.

Slapped his forehead and said, "Yes indeed Alexander, look at me, the two youngsters are still waiting, we can make the call after dinner."

These words.

Put a strained look on Alexander Camden's face.

He wanted to use the new Commission Secretary's arrival to disrupt the purpose of the dinner.

But since Lane Quincy and his wife had said so.

He couldn't easily refute.

He waved to the secretary, about to say something.

Suddenly.

Dirk Carter stood up.

"Secretary Camden, there's no need to make the call. I am the new Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary, Dirk Carter."

There was a sudden buzz.

The room fell silent.

Everyone turned their gaze to Dirk Carter.

After a few seconds of silence.

Brynn Quincy burst into laughter.

He said, "You're the Commission Secretary? How old are you? Why don't you say you're the Secretary General of the State Committee, hahaha..."

Witnessing this scene.

Mona became anxious.

She leaned in to tug at Dirk Carter a few times.

Whispered, "Mr. Carter, impersonating a leader is a crime, sit down... quickly sit down..."

In everyone's view.

Nobody believed Dirk Carter was the new Silverwood City Commission Secretary.

After all, he was too young.

At first glance, he did not appear suitable for a leadership role.

"Comrade Carter, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. You know that such words can ruin your future career, don't you?"

Wanda Griffin also kindly warned.

Dirk Carter smiled slightly.

Said to the exiting secretary, "Secretary mate, don't you have the new Commission Secretary's phone number? Just give it a call then."

"Secretary Hawthorne, call, do it now, don't you think we've never seen the world, that we can be fooled by your little tricks? Mona, take a good look, see if such a person is scheming something bad."

Brynn Quincy shouted.

That Secretary Hawthorne looked troubled.

After all, he was Alexander Camden's secretary.

His orders mattered most to him.

At this moment, Alexander Camden had already discerned something from Dirk Carter's eyes.

He nodded and said, "Hawthorne, make the call."

Secretary Hawthorne slightly nodded,

Took out his phone and dialed the number he got from the Organization Department of the State Committee.

In the midst of scornful looks.

Dirk Carter's phone rang.

He took out the phone and placed it directly on the table.

Asked, "Brynn, you wouldn't think this phone is stolen from the new leader, would you?"

Brynn Quincy was stunned.

Mona was also stunned.

Not only them, but the Camden and Quincy couple were also flabbergasted.

None of them could have imagined that this young man, whom their children encountered by chance on the train and who hadn't said much, was actually the new Silverwood City Committee Member, Standing Committee Member, Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary.

Moreover, the information they received indicated Dirk Carter should be traveling from Janton State to Novaria State, how could he be on the tranquility train from Serenity State to Novaria State?

Again, a deafening silence.

In the hearts of everyone present, little thoughts began to emerge.

Thinking of what Brynn Quincy had done to Dirk Carter earlier, both Alexander Camden and Lane Quincy felt a bit regretful now.

"Ah hahaha..."

Lane Quincy suddenly laughed.

Then, he who had remained seated all along, stood up.

Walked over to Dirk Carter with a big smile, extended his hand willingly, and said, "So it turns out you are Secretary Carter, our apologies, our apologies, why did you keep us in the dark like this, Alexander, don't you agree?"
