Blackstone Code

The woman on the TV screen is full of energy and radiant, and looks much younger than her actual age.

Her experience as a university professor gave her a temperament that is not easily seen in other politicians, a rational temperament.

The clothes that were not fancy but very decent made her look very "noble". She stood in front of the camera and calmly dealt with the reporters' simple or troublesome questions.

In front of the TV, a middle-aged man looked at the woman on the screen with a thoughtful expression.

He is the professor's ex-husband, a successful businessman.

From an ordinary person's perspective, he was successful.

He lives in a villa, drives a luxury car, and is surrounded by a fashionable girl who is more than twenty years younger than him.

He has several factories under his name and runs an enviable import and export trade. If he is not considered a successful businessman, then the word "success" must be redefined in the business field.

Someone has said that behind every glamorous person there is something invisible.

Sad, wronged, helpless...

There will always be some negative emotions, and this is certainly the case for this successful businessman.

His career had just started back then, and he was lucky enough to make a lot of money. He successfully squeezed into the upper class with the help of his reputation as a high-level intellectual like a professor——

Although the university where the professor works is not a Holy Peace Alliance institution, it is still a very famous school.

After all, at that time, there were not many universities in the entire Commonwealth, and it was not easy to go to university.

As one of the relatively few female university professors at that time, the professor’s social circle was actually much larger than people imagined.

Because her communication scope includes two major parts, one is the academic circle and the other is the social circle.

She is qualified to meet her colleagues, including some experts and scholars who are also experts in journalism.

Journalism is a very special subject, and its practical application value to society is much higher than some more cutting-edge or partial subjects.

Coupled with the characteristics of journalism, this academic circle is not just purely academic.

At the same time, among the students she has educated over the years, there will always be a few who do well, and these people have expanded their social circles both in school and outside school.

With the help of the professor, he easily got rid of his image as a nouveau riche and began to frequently attend various events in high society.

Although many activities were held by the lowest-end or marginalized people in upper class society at the time.

But that was at least the upper class, and you could always see some big shots.

After he realized his plans and goals, the marriage broke down due to emotional discord.

They have no children.

The professor is... a little disgusted with having children.

The objectionable part is that in the past, when women's status in society was not that high, giving birth meant that she was likely to lose her job.

The only thing she can rely on is her job and her identity, so she is relatively exclusive.

This successful businessman has no idea of ​​having children. He actually has one child of his own, and he doesn't really care if there are more.

He thought that this marriage had completely disappeared from his life, but what he didn't expect was that his ex-wife would suddenly appear in front of him in this way.

He had also seen the news about the professor being elected as the Speaker of the Nagaril Regional Assembly before. He didn't have much business in Nagaril, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

And that was Nagaril, not the center of the Federation, not Bupain, so he didn't care much.

But now, he couldn't help but care.

That is the chairman of the Progressive Party Committee. Even if the Progressive Party declares that it will carry out party affairs reform, after the reform, a large part of the power of the chairman of the Progressive Party Committee will be reduced.

But that’s still the Chairman of the Progressive Party Committee!

He had to find an opportunity to meet his ex-wife, catch up on old times, and see if there was any chance to get better resources.

The biggest difference between the capitalists of the Federation and the capitalists of Gaevra or Pengeo is.

Federal capitalists need to develop to a certain level before they need to find a political spokesperson for their interests.

And different stages correspond to different groups of people.

For example, if the business scale is within a city, they only need to maintain a close relationship with the city councillors.

When there are relatively many businesses in a region of a state, it is best to have someone in the state government or regional council.

When the scale of business becomes larger, it is necessary to have representatives of one's own interests in Congress.

Otherwise, just an afterthought proposal can make a capitalist’s decades of hard work come to nothing!

He made the acquaintance of a congressman, not a senator.

Even though the members of Congress are no different from being nothing more than cowards in front of the senator, in the eyes of ordinary capitalists, they are definitely big shots.

He needs to spend about tens of thousands of dollars every year to maintain their relationship, even though many times he doesn't need help from the other party.

And the congressman would occasionally provide some proposals waiting for voting that might be relevant to him, but could not really help him solve anything.

How can a congressman, not a senator, solve the problems with the proposal?

In all these years, the Federation has never had a president who was born in a member of the House of Representatives. This says it all!

With the boom in international trade, his business has also developed significantly. Export trade is really like picking up money with your eyes closed!

As long as the goods are produced, packaged, and transported to the port, and then the goods are signed and handed over, the money will be credited to the account!

The federal products have strong market competitiveness, and if we make some products with tax rebate subsidies, the profits will be even greater.

Everything looks great?

But in fact, he is also having a headache because of... environmental issues.

In the past two years, Senator Langdon passed the environmental protection bill in Congress, and then the federal environmental protection cause gradually became an unavoidable part of industrial issues.

In the past, failure to meet environmental standards could be solved by spending some money, and there were many ways to do this.

But it's different now.

Environmental protection is getting more and more attention, and as long as someone reports it, there will be big trouble.

For the federal small and medium-sized enterprises that are currently growing wildly, they have never considered issues such as environmental protection from the beginning!

His factory pollutes the environment a lot. If it weren't for the large number of jobs, there might have been a riot in the local area!

The mayor talked to him privately, and he ultimately had only two options.

The first path is to install some environmental protection equipment so that emissions comply with current federal industrial environmental standards.

This choice is damning, because the equipment added to meet this standard will almost wipe out his profits for one to two years.

If it was just a one-time expenditure, he gritted his teeth and took out a loan.

However, the subsequent consumables and losses will not stop, and part of his money will be taken away from him every once in a while, which is difficult for him to bear.

Another option is to relocate the factory further away from the city. This will greatly reduce the cost of investment in environmental protection equipment. Although it is necessary, it will not be as much as investing in the city!

However, there is also a problem, that is, the cost of relocation, subsequent investment, and additional transportation expenses.

So he didn't want to choose either, and the mayor told him that he couldn't do it.

Unless he can find someone big enough to help him speak in Congress.

In the final analysis, isn't it "people" who have the final say whether the pollution discharged exceeds the standard?

If ordinary people want to report a factory, they have to provide enough evidence, and this is not simple evidence.

People who can be affected by the pollution from his factories cannot afford the money.

And those who can afford this money will never live in polluted areas!

He asked a congressman for help, and the congressman told him that it would not work.

Senator Langdon now runs the Environmental Protection Committee as his own turf, and he is the only voice in the entire committee!

At the same time, this is the sharpest dagger in his hand. Without a strong enough relationship, it is impossible to persuade him to turn a blind eye.

He was still worried at first, but who knew that the problem seemed to be solved all of a sudden!

"Honey, what are you looking at?"

A girl who was similar to his son came down from the second floor and sat next to him. She naturally held his hand and placed it on her thigh.

He likes her body, and she likes his money. This is definitely a mutual liking, not a transaction.

He turned off the TV casually, and for the first time, he felt an indescribable... unhappiness in his heart.

Maybe it was because he kicked the professor away after taking advantage of him. He thought the professor would get worse and worse, but unexpectedly he got better and better.

She was so good that he wanted to beg her, which made him very unhappy inside!

He forced a smile and turned off the TV, feeling a little gritted, "Nothing, just watching some news."

At the same time, he put a little force on his hand on his "girlfriend's" leg, as if this was the only way to vent the unpleasant emotions.

His girlfriend's exclamation gave him some "relief". He used shopping as a way to apologize and obtained his girlfriend's forgiveness...

If the fact that the chairperson of the Progressive Party Committee is a woman is one of the hottest news at this stage, then another news is the telephone meeting between the Federal President and Emperor Pengio.

During the telephone meeting, Emperor Pengeo expressed his position very sincerely. He denied some rumors and repeatedly assured that the friendship between the Federation and Pengeo would be eternal!

At the same time, the two sides also talked about increasing bilateral trade, and President Connor even proposed the idea of ​​supporting Pengeo's construction.

For example, the federal government plans to support a batch of interest-free loans worth 3 billion federal soles to Pengeo to help Pengeo restore economic order.

As soon as this news came out, the whole society was in chaos!
