A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 446 446: Aggressive and Overbearing

This expression appeared.

Dirk Carter suddenly guessed Fridolin Golding's intention.

Dwayne Yule was seen in a fluster for a moment.

His gaze secretly glanced at the nearby Mayor Wallace Fisher.

Wallace Fisher understood, just as he was about to speak, Fridolin Golding glared at him and asked, "What? Mayor Fisher, are you so keen to steal Secretary Yule's limelight?"

As a result.

Wallace Fisher dared not move.

Dwayne Yule stammered for a long time.

Fridolin Golding smiled and asked, "What? Secretary Yule, have you read so many books that you can't recall? Then why don't you explain what this sentence means?"

At this moment.

Cold sweat was already appearing on Dwayne Yule's forehead.

He stammered for a long time and could not utter a single word.

Fridolin Golding gave a chilly smile and said, "Secretary Yule, don't you have some calligraphy? Why not show it to Minister Carter?"

This reminder.

Allowed Dwayne Yule to breathe a sigh of relief.

He hurriedly nodded.

He took down a scroll from the bookshelf beside him.

He said, "Minister Carter, please appreciate it."

Dirk Carter opened the scroll, and when the writing appeared before him, he frowned.

In front of him were the words "Serenity brings vision," but to be honest, even an elementary school student could write better than this.

"Minister Carter, how is it?"

Thinking that Dirk Carter was impressed, Dwayne Yule asked happily.

Dirk Carter handed the scroll to the person beside him, feeling indescribable inside.

He really couldn't imagine how such a person could become the head of Blackstone Town.

Right then.

A middle-aged man suddenly stepped out from the crowd.

He walked up to Dirk Carter and said, "Minister Carter, hello, I am the director of the administrative office of Blackstone Town, my name is Byron Griffin, and this is my resignation letter."

After speaking, he handed an envelope to Dirk Carter.

"Oh? Resign? Why?"

Dirk Carter was stunned and asked.

Byron Griffin glanced at Dwayne Yule and said, "Ever since Secretary Yule was appointed as our town party secretary, the work content of the four of us in the administrative office has changed. Every day at work, the only thing we repeat doing is flipping through Secretary Yule's books."

"Flipping through books? What do you mean?"

Dirk Carter asked, a bit puzzled.

Byron Griffin picked up a book from the side.

As if demonstrating for Dirk Carter, he flipped it page by page.

He said, "Just like this."

"Why do you need to flip through books?"

Dirk Carter asked in confusion.

Byron Griffin said, "These books, when purchased, were all new. Secretary Yule said that if new books are placed here and not flipped through, it implies they haven't been read. So he asked us to flip through the books every day, making them naturally have signs of being read. As the director of the administrative office, I find it hard to endure such humiliation, so today coinciding with your visit, Minister Carter, I'm resigning. I can't do this kind of work."

As soon as these words were spoken.

Dwayne Yule's eyes widened.

It was clear that the sweat on his forehead was even more pronounced.

"Comrade Dwayne Yule, is this true?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Dwayne Yule wiped the sweat from his forehead, opened his mouth, but said nothing.

It was obvious he had already admitted it.

It could be seen that his earlier impassioned words were just nonsense.

The erudite facade he presented was all just a sham.

A person who puts on such a good front, it's needless to say, must be incompetent at work.

"Comrade Dwayne Yule, don't you have anything to explain?"

Dirk Carter asked again.

By now.

Dwayne Yule seemed to have regained his composure.

He shook his head and said, "There's nothing to explain. These things are true."

"Oh? You're quite self-righteous. Don't you see a problem here?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Dwayne Yule shook his head again and retorted, "What's the problem? Everyone has their hobbies. I'm the head of Blackstone Town, and I can't have a hobby?"

"Is this a matter of hobbies? This is deception and abuse of power. Do you still think there's no problem?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Dwayne Yule spread his hands.

Pursing his lips, he said, "So what if there is a problem? I'm Jeff Hughes' uncle. If there's a problem, go talk to Secretary Hughes."

When he finished these words.

Dirk Carter was stunned.

He suddenly looked at Fridolin Golding.

At this moment, Fridolin Golding also had a smug look on his face.

It turned out that Fridolin Golding was well aware of the inside story. It's quite possible that Byron Griffin, the administrative office director, was also specially set up by him, for the sole purpose of embarrassing him in front of the organizational department's investigation team.

If Dwayne Yule were dealt with, then on Dirk Carter's first day in office, it would mean directly crossing the line with Jeff Hughes' ally.

If not dealt with.

Then as the organizational minister, knowing there's a problem under him and ignoring it, where does that leave the authority of the organizational minister?

Genevieve's incident was related to Eladio Shelby.

If Eladio Shelby was indeed faking heroism.

Then certainly someone would try to block the investigation into Blackstone Town.

Dirk Carter expected not to gain much from this trip; the reason he still came was to force the hidden figure to reveal themselves.

Now Fridolin Golding indeed stepped forward.

It can be seen that Fridolin Golding was somehow connected to Eladio Shelby's affairs.

He resorted to such a tactic, possibly wanting Dirk Carter to be mired in this situation, tangled up in Dwayne Yule's matters, hence unable to proceed with Genevieve's investigation.

In a dilemma.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Dirk Carter.

Awaiting his first action since taking office.

Especially Fridolin Golding, the glee in his eyes was about to spill over.

At this moment.

Dirk Carter suddenly looked at Fridolin Golding and asked, "Minister Golding, how long have you been working in the organizational department?"

Fridolin Golding was taken aback, not knowing why Dirk Carter asked this question.

After thinking it over, he said, "Counting it, it should be eleven years."

"Oh, eleven years, then you must be considered an old-timer in the organizational department. As everyone here knows, I, Dirk Carter, am new to organizational work with no experience. Minister Golding, under such circumstances, what kind of handling should Comrade Dwayne Yule receive?"

In an instant.

Fridolin Golding's mind exploded.

Dirk Carter actually shifted the burden onto his shoulders by claiming unfamiliarity with the work.

If he couldn't give an answer, it would show incompetence, rendering his eleven years in the organization useless, akin to slapping himself in public.

If he did speak up, once word got out, wouldn't it be like going against Jeff Hughes?

Seeing Fridolin Golding hesitate.

Dirk Carter then asked, "What's wrong? Minister Golding, after eleven years in the organizational department, you can't decide how to handle this matter?"

Fridolin Golding's face turned beet red.

Either way, he was at a loss.

At this moment.

He started to regret it a little.

Had he known it would come to this, he wouldn't have deliberately "stirred the pot," leading to his own embarrassment now.
