Blackstone Code

2403

In the office, Gladstone casually signed the documents in his hand and handed them to his secretary, then pushed the table.

As the chair with pulleys moved him backwards, he turned around, faced the window, and took out a cigarette.

There is a breeze blowing outside the window, and there is an ultimate style of this era in the air that people cannot detect, but it definitely exists!

It’s hard to describe this feeling, it’s like waking up and going back to that summer of youth, wearing leather sandals and walking on the streets in the hot summer.

A wave of heat blew over at the same time, accompanied by the smell that can only be found in nostalgic old records, and every pore swelled from the inside out!

The style of an era!

People in this era may not feel it, but in the future, when they think back, they will have a kind of shock, nostalgia, and yearning that cannot be described in words!

The yellow metal piece of the lighter trembled with a "ding" sound, a long and charming sound.

Since Lynch began to appear frequently in front of the media, some of his favorite things have begun to become trends.

The trend in the Federation... is actually that simple. People worship those who are rich, and naturally they are willing to use things that rich people use.

The Longsheng lighter, driven by Lynch, is becoming a lighter loved by the federal upper class.

Its extremely charming vibrato has even evolved into many types!

Just all of a sudden, all of a sudden, people started liking it.

The lighter in Gladstone's hand costs more than 2,000 yuan and is a mid- to low-end lighter.

He could actually use a better one, seven to eight thousand or tens of thousands, but he is a "public figure" and people don't want power and wealth to have no boundaries, so he uses a mid- to low-end one, which is enough.

If you use something better, it will be a bit troublesome.

After Connor came to power, the opposition within the Progressive Party became much smaller, and Gladstone successfully demonstrated his abilities to those who were unconvinced.

He can also run the president into power, so him being the committee chairman is not a disaster for the Progressive Party.

On the contrary, it is the beginning of the Progressive Party’s long-term rule!

The only thing that made him unhappy was that Connor didn't get close to him after he came on stage. Instead, he got very close to Lynch.

This made him...a little uncomfortable.

Although Lynch did help Connor a lot during his campaign,...

Gladstone did not think that Connor and Lynch were getting close and that "breaking up" with him was his own problem.

Although he admits that he has very strict requirements on some things, this is all for the good of everyone, not for himself.

Smoking a cigarette and thinking about many innocent things, the Progressive Party's time in power has once again been extended to at least four years, possibly eight years.

The Progressive Party also plays a dominant role and importance in the federation. It is no exaggeration to say that the era of the Progressive Party has arrived!

As chairman of the Progressive Party Committee, Gladstone already had many big plans in mind.

The first thing is to find a new office building.

The current office building of the Progressive Party is still the same building from a long time ago, only a few floors high, although it looks like it has some traces of history.

Moreover, the Conservative Party Office Building is not far away, and happens to be on both sides of the road. Many people believe that this is a more concrete "opposition image" in the federal political arena.

But Gladstone didn't like this old building very much. Although it had many good qualities in people's eyes, he just didn't like it.

It's too old and not atmospheric enough.

Someone donated a sum of money and was willing to build a new office building for the Progressive Party, and it was planned to build one with at least fifteen floors or more.

The key is free!

Once he goes to the new office building, his traces will be completely imprinted on the DNA of the Progressive Party.

When people talk about the future new Progressive Party Building, they can't help but think of the committee chairman who made it possible!

Thinking of this, the corners of Gladstone's mouth raised slightly. The good news came one after another. Connor could no longer make him worry.

After smoking, he took a deep breath and returned to work.

By one o'clock the morning's work was almost over.

On a typical day, he would probably eat a sandwich, drink a cup of coffee, and take a nap in the break room behind the office.

But today, he had to go out to meet someone.

An old man".

The place where the two met was in a park near the outer ring road in Central. There were usually not many people in the park, and there were also many homeless people gathering here, so basically no one came.

At a lounge chair in the park, Gladstone met the person he was going to meet this time, an old man from the Progressive Party who he had "transferred for retirement".

This old guy was the former chairman of the committee. After the short old man left, he was quickly "purged" by Gladstone.

Gladstone found a reason to believe that he was taking advantage of his position in the party to benefit himself, not only wealth, but also arranged for some people to enter government units.

The two had an argument and he was suspended while the Progressive Party's internal office launched an investigation.

Although nothing was found, he was transferred to the consultant's office.

Not only was the salary not less, but it was more than a hundred yuan more.

But his power was almost completely gone.

But what people don’t know is that this is actually just... a performance, a transaction!

At the cost of "secretly obeying orders and leaving his job," the old man obtained some promises and deals from Gladstone, including that his nephew would have a better start and have more wealth.

But outsiders don't know, they always think that the two are hostile.

Only they understand that one gives too much and cannot be refused.

One is very smart and knows that times have changed, so he takes the initiative to give up power in exchange for benefits.

The old man would sometimes provide Gladstone with some information.

This time, he called Gladstone to tell him that he had important news to tell him.

"Although this place is very remote, I don't want us to stay too long. I don't care if someone discovers it. It will definitely not be interesting to you."

Gladstone has been paying attention to the surrounding situation. This old guy is still useful to him, and he doesn't want to expose him for the time being.

The old man chuckled twice and did not talk about the topic that Gladstone was concerned about. Instead, he talked about his son, "... He plans to win the state assembly next year, but we are not very sure."

"You know, for an old guy like me, they don't care much about me. Even if I take the initiative to call, I will only embarrass myself."

On the surface, the election of members of the regional house of representatives is also a direct election. Depending on the size of the state, geographical environment and population density, different numbers of state members are directly elected.

But what to say about this kind of thing?

It seems fair, there is no way to cheat the direct election, there are still many ways to interfere with it.

In the eyes of the people, every regional council member is elected by themselves, but in the eyes of the big shots, they have a list before the election of state council members begins.

Of course, this list only serves as a "reference"!

With Gladstone's current energy, it was not a big problem to decide who a regional councilor would be, but he didn't want to make a "deal" so easily.

He stood up suddenly, which made the old man sitting on the other side of the bench look at him in confusion.

"If you think you have a way to blackmail me into agreeing to all your conditions, then you must have guessed wrong about the most crucial point!"

He looked at the other party and said, "That means you think I will definitely agree."

"You're not the only one who knows the truth, and I don't like what you did."

"If you don't want to say it, I think I can go back. You wasted my whole afternoon!"

The old man didn't expect Gladstone to be so strong. Maybe he thought his power was very stable?

There was a hint of sarcasm on the old man's face, but he quickly cleared up his expression.

Gladstone could leave him, but he could not leave Gladstone's help.

"You still have such a bad temper, I will treat it as if you agreed to my request."

"He... plans to take you down."

Gladstone sneered, "Him?"

"Which one?"

I don’t know how many people have tried to unseat him since he came to power, but he is still the chairman of the Progressive Party Committee today.

Those who had such plans have disappeared from the Progressive Party.

He is not afraid of any challengers. He has taken control of the Progressive Party and almost all the important positions are filled by his own people.

As long as these people don't oppose him, there is no way the Progressive Party will lose control!

The old man was not anxious at all and said with a smile, "Of course it's your teacher, the former Chairman of the Progressive Party Committee."

"He contacted me and asked me to stand by him and publicly express my dissatisfaction with you if necessary."

"Gladstone, you are in trouble!"

The old man approached him and put a hand on his back, "Don't forget to promise me what you promised me. I believe you can get through this difficulty!"

After speaking, the old man left quickly.

Gladstone's expression changed again and again, and he thought of many people.

He has offended many people in the past two years in order to consolidate his power.

But what he didn't expect was that the person who planned to remove him was the person who promoted him to this position!

Even the reason why he did this, Gladstone had roughly guessed it——

He sent some old people to take care of themselves!

But don’t they understand?

An era has ended!

It has ended!

Now is his time, his time!

No one can take everything here away from him, neither his enemies, nor his friends, nor his partners.

Still his teacher!
