Blackstone Code

It was not until Lynch left that Senator Langdon solemnly expressed his gratitude again at the door, and this time there was not so much auxiliary narrative, only one simple word——

Thanks!

Lynch patted him on the arm, finally got back in the car and left.

Ten years ago, Senator Langdon would not have said this thank you so easily.

After all, it is a human life!

At that time, he may not have had as much power as he does now, and he had never seen the scenery above the mountain.

It is unlikely that he will kill someone just because he has offended him.

He might punish him and torment him, but now he doesn't think so.

People have different behaviors and thoughts at different times. The person who saves people may be the person who kills people at another time and from another angle.

Everyone had a good sleep and had a good dream at night.

Lynch was reading the newspaper the next morning when Connor's phone call came to him.

"If I don't call you, are you not going to take the initiative to call me?"

"Please, can't you act like I'm important?"

The cheerful energy in his words made it difficult for Lynch to regard this opening statement as a complaint. He smiled and explained some recent events.

It is said to be an explanation, but in fact it is to give both parties a decent step - the fact that I don't call you is not because you are not important enough, but because I am tied up.

In fact, both Lynch and Connor knew this was an excuse, but...who cares?

Lynch was more or less perfunctory, and Connor actually didn't care.

"So are you free today?"

"Come over for dinner tonight. It just so happens that we can chat. There are some things I want to discuss."

Connor chose his words carefully, using discussion rather than discussion.

Lynch is a very special person, and he will not accommodate him in anything just because he is the president.

Sometimes it will give him a little embarrassment, of course when there is no one else around.

This made Lynch different from everyone else, everyone else close to him.

Compared with those who only know how to accommodate, Lynch is obviously more three-dimensional and vivid in Connor's mind.

It's like he wouldn't apologize first and then find a reason, but would give a reason very perfunctorily. But Connor just fell for this trick and couldn't get angry. Instead, he felt that Lynch was really one of his own.

After the two exchanged a few words, they hung up the phone.

The weather in Bupen in September is as hot as a small stove, and the cool-dressed girls on the street are becoming one of the most important sights on the street.

Lynch had nothing to do today, so he wandered around the streets.

Some media always accuse him of lacking necessary protection, but in fact there are many people around him secretly protecting his safety.

And this kind of unplanned wandering is actually quite safe.

Lynch noticed some new posters appearing on the streets with bold slogans such as "War Remembrance Day."

There are many young officers on the poster, handsome or beautiful, and at the bottom of the poster, there is a military club marked.

This is a large-scale event initiated by the military and hosted by the military club.

The Ministry of National Defense is said to have approved a total of 20 million to go to military clubs in major cities across the country, and they plan to do a good job.

It looks... quite like that.

After wandering around outside for about forty minutes, the team leader responsible for Lynch's safety told him that he had been exposed to the outside world for long enough, and if he stayed any longer, his safety factor would be greatly reduced.

Lynch is afraid of death to some extent. He doesn't know if he will have a new journey after his death this time.

Or will it completely return to nothingness? He doesn't hope it will be the latter, because intelligent creatures regard living as the first priority for survival.

It is a very contradictory statement that the purpose of living is to live, but this is the ultimate goal engraved in the genes of all living things, to live longer!

The day passed by so quickly that many people may not even notice that it was dark.

In fact, time is also another kind of "fairness".

For those wealthy people who live a superior life, time seems to have become the most luxurious thing in the world.

Every day flies by for them, and is extremely short. In the blink of an eye, they grow up, and in the blink of an eye, they grow old!

Every day is more concretely stripped away from their lives. They long for more time and enjoy more time, so there is an organization like eternal life.

But for those with little wealth, every day is long.

Especially those who work hard in the workshop. Every time they look up at the clock exhausted, they find that a whole day has passed, but in fact only half an hour has passed since the last time they looked up.

Poor people can feel every minute and second better, which is something that rich people cannot enjoy anyway.

In the evening, Lynch sat at the dining table in the living area of ​​the Presidential Palace. Connor's daughter expressed her gratitude to Lynch. She walked to Lynch and gave him a hug.

"The response to her movie has been good, and the box office is said to be decent. We have no plans to shoot a second movie yet, and we say this is an unexpected attempt."

“But there are still many directors who send us scripts, and it’s useless for us to reject them!”

With a proud expression on his face that said, "My daughter is an acting genius," Connor talked about the girl's development in the film industry.

Lynch responded with a smile and praised the girl's hard work and dedication, but did not praise her acting ability.

In fact, when everyone knew that this girl was Connor's daughter, several major production companies all made the same decision!

While they were buying tickets, they handed the girls new scripts.

It doesn't matter if she turns into a piece of shit, what they need is not the financial reward of the girl appearing in the movie, but the friendship of Connor behind her.

Even this is actually a transfer of benefits!

The number of federally approved films each year exceeds 5,000, but less than one-tenth of them are released.

Some of them were not filmed after the project was established. It may be that issues such as personnel, technology, and funds have been put on hold for the time being.

There are also some that were filmed but not released.

Films that are not released do not mean that the actors who star in them are free labor. Their income is paid the moment the filming of the film is completed, or even before the filming is completed.

As for whether it will be released publicly or not, that is a matter for the producer.

They could have invited Connor's daughter to shoot some movies but not release them, in order to achieve the purpose of transferring profits.

And there's nothing wrong with it.

As an ordinary professional, a girl, it is her job to make movies with the remuneration she deserves.

It is obviously not tenable to call this a transfer of benefits.

From Connor's proud expression, Lynch knew that there must be many people sending scripts.

Dinner with two guys can be boring, but having a girl to spice things up makes it much better.

She talked about some embarrassing things she encountered during the performance. What happened to her also showed that she is a very confident girl.

In the Federation, whether a person is confident and mentally strong depends on whether he can make fun of himself.

The fact that federal people like self-deprecating humor is not because they really like to watch other people make themselves embarrassed, but because they like the self-confidence behind these people's humor, and they are infected by the self-confidence!

Just like Lynch, his self-deprecation will only make people like him more. It's not that those things are really attractive, but that he uses his personality charm to infect other people in this way.

After dinner the girl hugged Lynch again and left. She had to read the script. She was interested in acting.

She can try a life she has never experienced before, earn a lot of money, and become a star and be popular with people. She likes this state.

After watching the girl leave, the two men went to where they should go.

"I was walking around outside today and saw some propaganda posters about War Memorial Day..."

As Lynch spoke, he suddenly tilted his head and used the lighter in Connor's hand to light the cigarette in his mouth.

Connor also lit a cigarette. "Yes, the Ministry of National Defense reported it to me."

"Patriotic education is very important, and I also invited Pengeo people as guests to participate in the commemorative activities here in Bupen..."

Speaking of this, Connor couldn't help but laugh, his smile was treacherous and a little malicious.

The defeated country participates in the war anniversary of the victorious country. This is something that only Connor can do.

As for President Bowling, he is actually much more conservative than people think. He will not do such things that are obviously not in line with the status of a president of a major power. He also has to pay attention to diplomatic issues.

Mr. Trueman, as the first president in the history of the Union to wage war abroad and achieve significant victory, would not and did not bother to use these little tricks to do these things.

Only Connor can do it.

He didn't really want to be president at the beginning, so his psychological construction may be somewhat different from other presidents.

Lynch gave him another suggestion, "You can take photos of the day's activities and send them to the Emperor of Pengeo for his evaluation."

Connor's eyes lit up, "This is a good idea. I can ask him to write a review or something. The teachers always asked us to do this when we were in school."

I hope that His Majesty the Emperor does not have high blood pressure or other diseases!

After the chat ended, Connor began to talk about the reason why he came to Lynch - the reform of the medical insurance system.

He actually does not have a complete plan for reforming the medical security system. It was just added to his election manifesto as a campaign strategy.

But after Connor became the president, he must find a way to do it. It doesn't matter even if he fails, the important thing is to do it!

How many of the grand aspirations promised by so many presidents have come true?

Aren’t we all still willing to be deceived and then admit failure?
