Blackstone Code

The little maid stood up in confusion, walked to the door and looked outside through the peephole.

This is just her subconscious habit.

In fact, you don't need to worry too much about meeting "bad people" when you live in the Mid-Levels villa area, because not everyone can come in here.

Either you have registered or you have a certain social reputation, otherwise it will be difficult to get in.

Just such a look made the little maid return to the restaurant in surprise and asked Lynch for permission.

Then Lynch took the napkin, stood up on his own initiative, walked to the door, and opened it.

He stretched out his hands, and the next second, a woman outside the door threw herself into his arms. The two hugged deeply for a while before she let him go.

Penny and Miriam, who were standing not far away, couldn't see clearly the appearance of the person coming. She was blocked by Lynch, and both of them were a little curious.

The woman who can let Lynch open the door for her in person must be a very special woman, right?

Penny was a little jealous because Lynch had never opened the door for her in person, and this woman seemed to be the only one who did so.

When Lynch turned around and entered the entrance hall with her, Penny's expression changed a little. She was a little depressed at first, but she quickly cheered up and smiled more.

"Catherine..."

She was ready to say hello but didn't know how.

Many times she showed off that she was Lynch's girlfriend, but she knew that if she could only choose one person to stand by Lynch's side, she might just be the second option.

Because the first option belongs to Catherine.

Being a "loser," she called out Catherine's name, but couldn't continue.

Catherine wore a very decent camel coat. After she took off her clothes, she wore a high-necked cardigan, which highlighted her perfect curvy figure.

The people of the Federation have not yet begun to like uncontrolled size, and Catherine's figure can only be said to be just right, just right.

After she handed the coat to the little maid, she hugged Petunia and said hello, and then looked at Miriam who was so tender that she could squeeze water out of her mouth.

She turned to look at Lin Qi, raised her eyebrows, and said, "Won't you introduce this lady to me?"

Lynch walked up to her and hugged her waist, "Millian, the granddaughter of His Excellency the Governor who was deceived."

At first, when Catherine saw this little girl, she thought she was Lynch's new love.

But when she learned that this girl had a grandfather with a prominent status, she thought of many things.

Politics matures people because it allows you to come into contact with the darkest things in the world, and it also allows you to see things that you could not otherwise see.

After Catherine and Miriam shook hands, Lynch asked the little maid to add another chair, right next to his seat.

"Why do you want to come back for the New Year?" After sitting down again, Lin Qi was a little confused.

Catherine flipped the collar down so that her neck was exposed.

Although a woolen sweater with a high neckline protects the neck and is very warm, it can also compress the neck and make swallowing slightly difficult.

"My parents want to meet me, and my uncle is dead."

Her uncle was her father's brother and the father of her cousin, the boy who took her away from Lynch.

This guy is sixty-nine years old this year, and this age is not too bad according to the average life expectancy of people in the Federation at this time.

In fact, many people can only live to be in their fifties or sixties. It is not easy to live to seventy.

Environment, disease, work, any problem can cause people to leave this world early.

Her uncle actually started enjoying life early because of Catherine, but those things left behind by his work when he was young cannot disappear just because Catherine is the governor.

The more suppressed these hidden diseases were, the more violent they became when they broke out. He was unable to survive this winter, and he was not even able to survive the New Year.

As the closest elder in the family dies, Catherine will definitely come back.

"Besides that, I also want to talk to the professor, and by the way, I also want to talk to you."

"My term is almost over."

It has been almost four years, and there is less than a year left. In other words, Catherine will be transferred back to the Federation from Nagaril.

And the next stop is Congress.

Lynch looked at Catherine's face in a daze, and thirteen years passed in the blink of an eye.

Time flies so fast. It feels like only a few years have passed to him, but in fact, more than ten years have passed.

He nodded, a little heavily.

Such "blink of an eye" will constantly appear on his body. He is very afraid of death and accidental death, but he actually doesn't have much feeling about old age and death.

But now, he was suddenly eager to know how far the Eternal Life Organization had progressed towards eternal life, and whether he could solve the problem of eternal life before he died!

Human beings are always like this. If the tip of feces doesn't poke the sphincter, they will never think of going to the toilet.

It is always at the end that people begin to realize that time is running out.

Miriam didn't understand this, so she could only open her eyes and try to play the role of the vase.

Penny on the side knew about Catherine's development. As her "love rival", she actually knew Catherine quite well.

She knew what Catherine's return from Nagaril represented, and what the first female member of Congress represented.

In fact, it didn't take long for Tracy to go in, and her goal was to become a congresswoman.

She compared herself with Catherine again in her mind, and found that there was still no way to compare. She was a little frustrated, and even her back was not straight.

The dinner was lively, falsely lively, and Catherine was able to maintain the atmosphere at the table, acting as if she were the hostess.

After dinner, Catherine called the professor, and then the professor drove over and the three of them entered the study together.

The professor was also surprised that Catherine would come back at this time, but she was still very happy.

The only person she could call an "ally" politically was Catherine.

Others are either using her, or she is using others.

Only Catherine is the only one who can always support her!

As long as she doesn't act recklessly or do anything treacherous!

"It's a good opportunity to come back this time. When will you return to Sabine City?"

Catherine's family still lives in Sabine City.

Her father still works in the warehouse, but now as a warehouse manager rather than an administrator.

He manages a huge warehouse district and has made no mistakes so far.

Catherine's mother is still working as a full-time housewife. In fact, it is not correct to say full-time. Her only job is to wander around.

For people at the bottom of society, after achieving financial freedom, the only thing that still interests them is passing time on the streets.

This may be the only way for people at the bottom of society to prove to the people around them that they or their children are excellent - by constantly talking about them with people they know well!

Catherine thought for a while, "The day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, tomorrow is the first day of the New Year. The funeral will definitely not be arranged for tomorrow, maybe on the 3rd or 4th?"

"I can ask them to change the time!"

This is the change brought about by the improvement of status. She would not say or do this before, but now, there is no pressure at all.

"Then change it to after the third day." Lynch nodded, "Tomorrow I will ask Langdon to invite all the people from the York Gang out. Let's sit down and chat, so we can get familiar with each other first."

"We will invite some other members of Congress out the day after tomorrow. On the 3rd, we will meet with people from the Progressive Party in the morning and with people from the Conservative Party in the afternoon."

Catherine looked surprised, "Do you still have contact with the Conservative Party?"

She didn't know this, and the professor was a little surprised, while Lynch acted calmly, "My eggs are never in one basket."

"I pay the Conservative Party the same large sum of money every year, but in the name of a different company."

"For me it's not about who I support, but who selects the candidate, which is more appropriate."

In fact, this is what most consortiums do. They are relatively neutral on the surface, and then the subsidiaries are divided into two groups to take sides.

Regardless of whether the Progressive Party or the Conservative Party wins, they will not be affected by the storm caused by political changes.

Catherine and the professor looked at each other, but still underestimated Lynch's caution.

Lynch went on to say, "If you want Congress to accept you, it's not enough to have the Progressive Party and the York Gang. You also have to mobilize the power of Conservative MPs. They have taken so much money from me over the years, but they have done nothing for me. After everything has happened, it’s time to give them a little shake.”

Is it so easy to get money from capitalists?

Obviously not!

No one can take Mr. Lin’s money and not do things for Mr. Lin. There may have been some in the past and there may be some in the future, but it won’t always be the case.

Because as long as it appears, it will disappear!

These three days can be said to be a large-scale political event, but it is relatively secretive. Lynch will bring the professor with him, which makes the professor's face turn red with excitement!

It was too cold, so Lynch did not let the professor go back. Not only was it dangerous to drive back in the middle of the night, it also seemed ungentlemanly.

In the evening, Lynch and Catherine's in-depth communication ended, and Catherine gained a lot. She lay on the bed with some beads of sweat on her body.

She looked at Lin Qi with a half-smile, "A seventeen-year-old girl is very young, isn't she?"

Miriam is very beautiful, especially her platinum hair, which makes her temperament even more outstanding!

There was no doubt that Lynch had slept with the little girl, and that was what Catherine knew about Lynch.

The girl is not just a girl, she is actually a bridge between Lynch and the Governor.

This is what the lobbying team often does. They verbally promise to cooperate. No matter how much they say, it is useless. As long as they don't take money, they will not think that the person has been persuaded.

The girl is a signal. Once Lynch has a relationship with her, the Governor will put his mind at ease, or trust him more.

Lynch glanced sideways at her and slapped her on the butt, "You were seventeen once..."
