Chapter 1065 It’s time to reduce the power of the feudal lords
Jinju was slapped and her face felt hot.
She was almost mad with anger and wanted to cut Lei Zhen into pieces, but the problem was that his identity was there, so she could only endure it.
"Is it wrong?" Lei Zhen sat down again.
He crossed his legs, picked up the cup to drink some tea, and slowly lit a cigarette, giving Jinju, who was standing in front of him, an absolute sense of oppression from his low position.
"Wrong." Jinju gritted her teeth.
The arrogant Deputy Director Jin bowed his head and admitted his mistake, which made Yao Yu feel nervous.
Her status could not be compared with others, but Lei Zhen slapped the deputy director left and right, and made him submit.
This is status!
It is not the emperor who has the power of life and death, but the position of the emperor.
Anyone placed in this position could have the power of life and death.
"You idiot, why did I fuck you?" Lei Zhen pointed at Jin Ju's nose and cursed, "You're f*cking allying with the family faction? Are you crazy? What good will my downfall do you?"
He scolded her harshly without giving her any face, even digging out her privacy, without any hesitation towards Yao Yu who was beside her.
Jinju lowered her head, her eyes turned red, and she clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her flesh and causing bright red blood to flow out.
When had she ever been scolded like this?
After all, he is the deputy director of the Public Opinion Research Bureau and represents the traditionalists.
"What, you're not convinced?" Lei Zhen continued to curse, "Look at you, you idiot! What's the Public Opinion Bureau for? It's to check and balance the family! What do I do? I'm in charge of the Public Opinion Bureau!"
"Do you think I'm on the same page with the Jiang family just because I slept with a few women? That was a sacrifice I made to keep the Jiang family stable."
"I'm here to attract fire. You're trying to form an alliance with them to fight against the family-run empire. Don't you understand which side is more important? Do you think I'd be stupid enough to play the game here? Do you think the family-run empire can really be implemented here?"
"Jinju, I want to clean up the family and consolidate the power of the Public Opinion Research Bureau to the greatest extent! Why did I add two deputy directors? It's to check and balance the family. The Zhu family is the orthodox, and the Jiang family is the newcomer. There will be a lot of infighting between them..."
These words stunned Jinju. Her fists gradually loosened and her eyes gradually calmed down: Did I wrong him?
As a spokesperson for the traditionalists, he certainly hopes that the traditionalists can suppress family power, and he has been working hard to do so.
Unfortunately, as the family prospers, the old ways don't seem to work anymore.
As one grows while the other shrinks, the space for traditionalists will naturally be compressed, although it is not too obvious at the moment.
"Jinju, I may be lustful, but I'm definitely not a casual man." Lei Zhen said with a serious face, "Why did I have to have you when I first saw you? Some things don't need to be said, they just need to be done."
Not just any man?
Jin Ju couldn't help but glance at Yao Yu, expressing her absolute doubts about this statement.
He went to the Jiang family to find the four sisters, and when he arrived at the grassroots level, he took in the leader of the ninth group in the western region... Oh, this is not casually, it is casual.
"What a ridiculous alliance! You just saw it. If you give them even a little bait, they'll tear it apart immediately." Lei Zhen exhaled a puff of smoke and continued, "I won't investigate the reason for the Lu family's rebellion, but I hope it won't happen again."
Jinju's silence was tantamount to consent.
She re-evaluated the man in front of her in her heart and found that he was not rude and reckless at all, but was terrifyingly shrewd.
People had long seen that he had reached an alliance consensus with Old Man Jiang, and had also sensed the underlying reason for the Lu family's rebellion. At the same time, they had a complete plan for the whole.
etc--
He'd been loudly claiming from the beginning that he was going to establish a family empire, and I actually believed it? What family empire? It was just bait to manipulate the Public Opinion Bureau and the family!
No one wants to see a family dynasty, so everyone has to prepare, but no one expected that others were just using this as bait.
Throw out this concept, turn around and run to the grassroots level, jump outside the circle and watch them having fun.
"Mr. Lei, you have never thought about the family monarchy!" Jin Ju said.
"Hahahaha..." Lei Zhen laughed loudly, "My little Jinju, your cultivation is too shallow. Learn from Old Man Jiang, who can attack when advancing and defend when retreating, and always be invincible."
This is the wisdom of Old Man Jiang, who generously offered up the four women in his family.
If Lei Zhen succeeds in establishing a family empire, the Jiang family will have the upper hand and will surely remain the number one family; if Lei Zhen fails to establish a family empire, they will not suffer any loss.
"Jinju, do you think Old Man Jiang cares about the family monarchy? He doesn't care at all, but he can use this as an excuse to put the traditionalists against me."
"It's you and the Public Opinion Bureau who really care about the family's rule! I hit and scolded you just now, all for Old Man Jiang to see."
"You are my woman. I hit you twice and scolded you, which is just my own business. Do you still feel wronged now?"
The three elements of sincerity: beating, scolding, and coaxing.
The explanation of the truth in the middle swept away Jinju's anger, and instead she admired the young man's great wisdom.
She wasn't the only one who admired him. Yao Yu next to her also had eyes full of admiration.
Although they were good at setting up schemes, they suddenly discovered that Lei Zhen was the real master of setting up schemes. They didn't see what he had done before, but he used only the three words "family dynasty" to make the family faction and the traditional faction confused.
"Mr. Lei, I'm sorry. It was my stupidity." Jin Ju said sincerely, "You were right to hit me and to scold me. I have no complaints."
“You—”
Lei Zhen stood up, stretched out his hands and held her in his arms, his movements very gentle, as if he was holding his favorite piece of porcelain and was afraid of breaking it accidentally.
"Does it still hurt? Let me blow on you..."
"I'm new here and don't have any foundation in the polling bureau, so I can only act strong and take advantage of your understanding of my research to make arrangements."
"I'm not as powerful as you think. I'm just going with the flow. After all, I have to find a way to break the existing situation."
His tone was gentle and doting, and he actually blew it, which made Jinju feel very embarrassed and guilty for having the murderous intention just now.
"Xiao Jinju, the Public Opinion Bureau is our imperial court, and the major families are our vassal kings. Now is the time to reduce their power." Lei Zhen said earnestly, "Every step we take from now on is like walking on thin ice. We must be extremely careful, because if we fail, the Public Opinion Bureau will lose its control over the families."
This is a good analogy, and the situation is indeed like this.
The Jiang family, the Guo family, the Lu family, and so on, aren't they all major vassal kings? With the opening up and development of the economy, if we don't weaken them, it won't be long before we really can't control them.
From the beginning to the end, Lei Zhen always wanted to build his family first.
I won’t talk about the public aspect because it’s too big, but from a personal perspective he has to help the Zhu family get to power and establish a system that is loyal to him.
Therefore, it is necessary to weaken the power of the major families to the greatest extent possible in order to kill three birds with one stone: suppress the family faction, control the Public Opinion Bureau, and complete the family empire.
