Zhong Tiyun's expression changed slightly, and she asked, "Wanwan, what exactly happened to Mayor Lu?"
Zhou Shuwan gently patted the back of her hand and comforted her, "Mom, don't worry too much. I'm not very clear about the specific situation, but Mingyue said that Mayor Lu and some officials are now completely out of contact. Xiao Xiao has already sent people to J City to check on the situation."
She paused and continued, "Right now, the top management of the new base is ready to make a move and is discussing the selection of a new leader."
This is probably the reality of officialdom.
While the person's life or death is still unknown, people here are already impatiently trying to elect a new leader.
Zhong Tiyun frowned slightly. "This...what should we do? Mayor Lu is a very good man. At least he personally takes care of us people. If it weren't for him, the number of survivors would be at least two-thirds less than it is now. If it were someone else, I don't know whether it would be a blessing or a curse..."
Zhou Shuwan didn't say anything, but looked out the window, with a complicated look in his eyes.
In fact, she had a vague understanding of the future trend. After Mayor Lu's death in her previous life, the young and promising Xiao Xiao took over and became the leader of the new base.
He was shrewd and capable, not interested in the complicated bureaucracy and the complex power dynamics, but only in his ability. In addition, Xiao Xiao had made great contributions to the establishment of the new base in this life, and he had a strong sense of cohesion among the people in the new base.
Therefore, in this life, there is a great possibility that Xiao Xiao will ascend to the throne.
If that day really comes, Mingyue, she and Qi Mingyu will definitely support Xiao Xiao!
Thinking of this, Zhou Shuwan retracted his gaze and looked at his mother, saying in a calm tone, "Mom, the situation is unclear right now, so we still have to be careful."
"Our Zhou family has a very close relationship with Xiao Xiao, and Qi Mingyu is in charge of the security team. Ultimately, the leadership of the base will require us to take sides... However, it's always better to be cautious."
She didn't say anything extra.
But Zhong Tiyun felt even more anxious after hearing this, and she just nodded: "You're right, it's better to be safe than sorry."
In the evening, Qi Mingyu came late with a hint of fatigue on his face.
After entering the door, he took off his heavy air-conditioned clothes and rubbed his hands which were a little red from the cold.
"Grandma, Dad, Mom, I'm back."
Zhou Shuwan quickly stood up and took his air-conditioning suit. "Why are you back so late today? Is everything okay at the base?"
The current situation of the base has been discussed at home.
So as soon as these words were spoken, everyone, including Mu Mu and Grandma Pang, immediately looked at Qi Mingyu.
Qi Mingyu sat on the sofa, his tone solemn: "Ever since Mayor Lu lost contact, the situation at the base is complicated, and various forces are vying for leadership."
He glanced at everyone present and said, "For safety reasons, I've decided that our entire family should resume security precautions. From today on, we will take turns guarding the villa every night to ensure the safety of our family."
"Okay." Zhou Jianghai put down the teacup in his hand and said firmly, "In extraordinary times, safety comes first. Let's take turns on duty."
Grandma Pang also nodded in agreement: "Although I am old, my ears are still sharp, and I can help listen for any noises at night."
Mu Mu nodded silently.
Qi Mingyu arranged the order and precautions for the night shift in detail: "It's still the same old rules. Dad, you and grandma will be on duty from 12 to 2 o'clock. Mom, you and Mumu will be on duty from 2 to 4 o'clock. Wanwan and I will be on duty from 4 to 6 o'clock."
