Blackstone Code

Connor doesn't have many contacts with the Director-General, and most work matters are communicated and handed over by the President's Office in a public-to-public manner.

After all, the Director-General has been in that position for too long, and Connor is more or less... wary of him.

This kind of mentality is actually normal. After all, the FBI is not an ordinary power department. It is completely different from the police department.

The fact that few general directors in the past have ended well is enough to illustrate the special nature of this department. If it weren't for Lin Qi's strong guarantee, the general director would still be in this position.

He may now have challenged the world's longest breath-holding record on the bottom of the Eastern Ocean.

Those who control too many powerful people and the privacy of the upper class will not live long without strong backing.

But fortunately, the person behind him is Lynch, so Connor still has some trust in him——

If it doesn't work, let Lynch take action.

"You must have watched the news these days, right?" Connor's opening remarks were very concise, and the director-general naturally gave a positive response.

"Yes, Mr. President, I haven't missed any news these days."

Connor licked his lips, "I have a list here. Some of them are just code names, but I believe you can find them all, right?"

"Yes, Mr. President, I can guarantee that."

"very good……"

Connor was just about to give the names he had recorded to the Director-General on the phone, but suddenly he thought of something, "Lynch will come over to have dinner with me tonight. You can come too. There will be no one else, just the three of us."

The Director-General knew from the beginning that Connor would definitely call him. Every leak of government secrets is actually a slap in the face of the existing government and the Presidential Palace.

The FBI has cooperated with the federal government to arrest these leakers more than once, and this time will be no exception.

What he didn't expect was that he would have the opportunity to have dinner with the president. This was definitely good news.

This means that he has been able to enter Connor's core circle of interests!

He agreed immediately and hung up the phone after confirming the time and location.

After hanging up the phone, he waited for about twenty minutes and called Lynch's residence.

During this time, Lynch has been at home and has not gone anywhere.

As soon as Lynch hung up the call from Connor, the chief called.

Although Lynch had already heard about it from Connor, and the chief knew that Connor must have been angry with Lynch, he still "reported" the non-work matters first.

"Mr. Lynch, Mr. President said he would invite me to your dinner tonight..."

This attitude made Lynch very satisfied. They usually didn't have much contact, and their relationship didn't seem to be very strong except for their interests.

But in fact, they all know that Lynch can make the director-general lose everything he has at any time and at any time, just because Lynch can determine the presidential office's attitude towards the candidate for director of the FBI!

So the director-general reported it immediately, and Lin Qi smiled and expressed that he already knew it, and at the same time asked the director-general to prepare a bottle of good wine.

As the "lower one" among the three people, the director-general must be the "gift giver".

When Lynch usually has dinner with Connor alone, he plays this role, even though neither Connor nor himself consider him a "lower person."

But some of the rules in federal society are like this. Even if capital has long been on the head of the political arena, at least in daily social interactions, it still has to show a posture of political supremacy.

This is an attitude, a result of mutual compromise, and it is also what the people want to see.

At least this can make them believe that there is still hope for the future of the Federation. Although the hope is slim, at least it exists.

If capitalists act condescending, people will be angry and politicians will lose support.

Voters will be looking for a politician who is not willing to stand down.

But with the third person, it's different. No matter what, he is just a "director". He is naturally the lowest status among the three people, and this is also a fact.

The director-general said that he would satisfy Lynch and Connor, and then hung up the phone after chatting for a few words.

This phone call seems unnecessary, but in fact it is necessary. The director-general is expressing his position in this way——

Even if he enters the president's core circle of interests, he is still Mr. Lynch's person.

Until after get off work in the evening, the cabinet did not come up with any good plan. They just tried to confuse the public and made several other big news to suppress this news.

Connor rejected the proposal because it was stupid and useless.

If it is just small news, this method can be said to be very useful, replacing the old ones with new public opinion hot spots.

But now it is a government project involving a total price of hundreds of billions, and taxpayers are already boiling!

As a qualified politician, you will learn a very important lesson——

Don’t fucking let taxpayers feel that you are wasting their money, even if each of them only pays one or two thousand yuan a year, and there is even tax evasion.

After being disappointed and telling these idiots to get lost, Connor cleaned up and left the presidential palace in a low-key car in the night.

Outside of working hours, Connor also has the right to use his own private time, although he doesn't have much personal time.

Dinner was at his suburban villa, and the cook was a native federal cook.

The popularity of Gaevra's noble cooks is fading. Over the past few years, people have gradually become less interested in Gaevra's noble or royal cooking.

Even in the innovation of some dishes, they are far inferior to the federal chefs.

"Inheritance" is very important to aristocratic cooks, and this style is very suitable for a relatively closed and traditional society.

But for a society that is open, free and full of free spirit, innovation and leaping are its essence.

Lynch was the last one to arrive here. As soon as he entered the door, the director came up to him, took the coat he took off, hung it on the hanger by the door, and prepared a hot towel for Lynch to wipe his hands and face.

Connor stood in the living room and looked at him, "You're too late, Lynch, but we will have a nice dinner tonight."

"The director-general brought a very good bottle of wine, which is worth tasting."

Lynch handed the towel that he wiped his face and hands to the Chief, said thank you, and then walked towards Connor.

"oh?"

"What wine deserves your high praise?"

The director-general put the towel back into a basin by the door, then followed Lynch and explained.

A bottle of Royal Cellar, not Gevra's Royal Cellar.

Nowadays, there are many cellars in society claiming to be from the Gefra royal family or nobles. In fact, these are all fake, but there are also many people who believe them.

The manufacturers and sellers of these fake wines are very good at telling stories. If the royal family's stock of wine was not much lower than what they have sold, they might be able to deceive more people!

This is a wine treasured by the royal family of a small country. The director-general used his position and power to obtain it.

He casually revealed to the two of them how he roughly used the power in his hands to force an old nobleman who wanted to keep his son from being imprisoned to take out these good things.

This is not a self-destruction, but a "warrant of surrender". He needs to give Connor a "handle" so that Connor can make the director lose his job and put him in a cell at any time and at any time.

Only in this way will Connor regard the Chief as one of his own, instead of always being separated by something.

The Director-General himself is also a "superior". For the FBI, he is the emperor in this field, so he also knows very well who he will trust and whom he will reserve his attitude towards.

Sometimes some people think it's stupid for those in power to use "flawed" people, and they're not sure if they are really stupid or if they are blinded by others.

But really, this is the art of domination!

Just like those idiots in the cabinet, Connor clearly knows that they are stupid and is tired of these idiots. Why does he keep these people?

In addition to the fact that there may be some capitalists behind these people, he also needs some fools to set off his image and take the blame for his mistakes anytime and anywhere.

For example, in the last two years of a presidential term, why do cabinet members frequently resign?

In the final analysis, it is just wiping the president's butt for some of the "stupid things" he did during his term of office. It's just that other people wipe their butts with paper, and the president wipes his butt with the resignation letters of cabinet members.

Neither Lynch nor Connor cared about the director's abuse of power, and Connor even allowed him to have more flaws.

It was almost time for the meal, and the three of them got to the table.

The chief opened the bottle and poured wine for Connor and Lynch. It was indeed very fragrant. The two tasted it briefly and found that it was indeed good wine.

You can tell whether the wine is good or not by tasting it, of course, for those who like to drink.

Their topics quickly ranged from drinks, food, weather, to leaks.

"There are always some people who want to obtain more federal government secrets without restraint. Their thoughts and practices are very dangerous."

"I don't understand why some of them keep thinking the federal government has some conspiracy against ordinary people, but I have to say, we can't let it go anymore."

Connor looked at Lynch and said, "I plan to add some responsibilities to the FBI in the next period of time, and of course I will also add more rights to you."

In the second half of the sentence, he looked at the director general and said, "You know, the situation now is different from the past. We can no longer treat the current situation the same way we did in the past."

"The matter is very urgent and does not leave us with more time and opportunities for trial and error. We must resolutely put an end to some issues that may be right or wrong and prevent people from trying to touch them..."
