Blackstone Code

For most federal officials at this time, there is actually no difference between work and life.

The cabinet chaired by Connor has aggressively cut down federal government agencies. Internal talk is to reduce the number of federal government workers to no more than 3,000 people.

It may sound incredible, but it is carefully calculated.

All unimportant departments, such as those responsible for the wild environment and those responsible for protecting endangered animals.

There is no need to keep this kind of department that may not be used for millions of years in the future, except that some existing documents and materials will be packaged and stored.

Everything about these departments will be simply erased.

Those departments that were still useful in the shelter era, such as the various departments responsible for shelter operations, the judicial department, etc., will still be maintained.

But the number of people maintained will not be too many. Although many departments have a purpose, they also do not need too many people.

More government workers refer to warehouse managers or archives managers.

So now everyone is very relaxed. Connor said at an internal working meeting of the federal government that federal government employees who transfer to enterprises can also enjoy a certain degree of seniority transfer.

There are also some other preferential welfare measures. It can be said that even if they find a job, they can live a good life.

But it's just not bad. It's not easy to live a moist life.

The staff member in charge of the Antitrust Investigation Office came to the office on Monday morning. He had just taken out the unfinished novels and pastries from his briefcase. Before he could make himself a cup of coffee, he discovered a document bag on the table.

He looked at the document list at a loss. He was the only one in the entire office. There were two staff members outside, but it didn't look like they had lost it.

He walked to the office door, opened it and asked outside, "Did anyone enter my office this morning?"

The young man who was cleaning the table straightened up and held his waist. His waist was very sore from bending down for a long time.

This actually has nothing to do with whether he is young or not. Long-term compression of his lumbar spine made his psoas muscles very tired.

"This morning... the gentleman came over. He said there was something on your desk."

The man wanted to ask the young guy why he didn't stop these people from entering his office.

But thinking that this young man did not have that ability and status, he finally managed a smile and said, "Well done."

Those who can work in this department either have the support of high-ranking politicians or are backed by large conglomerates.

He returned to the office, closed the door, sat on the chair and looked at the file for a while, then opened it while cursing.

The department is about to be abolished, why are there still people looking for trouble?

Starting from the first document, it gave a detailed overview of the means used by Blackstone Bank under Lynch's operation to annex the banking business of the five major banks and become a federal monopoly super bank.

The whistleblower believes that the Global Communication Platform also uses technology monopoly to highly overlap with the work areas of Wealth Bank, placing everyone under the management of the Global Communication Platform.

This kind of unsupervised power has seriously affected the development of society. We hope that the office can launch an antitrust investigation into Wealth Bank.

While reading this document, the gentleman kept wiping his hands because his palms were covered in sweat.

It's not hot, it's clammy, and there are some fine beads of sweat on my head!

He was frightened!

The names of some people listed in it made him feel that the god of death had put a noose around his neck, as an investigator specializing in corporate monopoly issues.

He actually knows very well that the federal government's investigation of whether a company is suspected of monopolistic behavior does not depend on whether it is actually suspected of being a monopoly!

Rather, it depends on whether it meets the interests of the big figures in the ruling class. For example, before the Great Depression, many foreign investors "overwintered" in the Federation.

When the outside world is in a cold winter, no one has ever said that these foreign investments may be suspected of monopoly or unfair competition.

The federal government and the conservative party are eager to enshrine these foreign investors in shrines as their biological fathers.

Because the jobs brought by these foreign investments can reduce people's uneasiness, everyone has a job to do, and even if the income is not that high, at least it will not breed other criminal thoughts.

But as the external war ended, world capital began to be reordered, and foreign capital began to flee the Federation.

When the ruling class was unable to retain these foreign capitals, antitrust investigations and unfair competition investigations on these foreign capitals began.

They never changed the way they did business, but their desire to leave angered the federation's ruling class.

Therefore, many of these foreign investments were lost to the Federation.

If there is really going to be an investigation into Wealth Bank, it is unlikely that Congress will pass it without saying whether the Presidential Office will agree to it.

And even if Congress can barely pass it, who would dare to actually investigate?

The man asked himself, he would rather write a resignation letter now than investigate Fortune Bank and Lynch.

This is faster than courting death!

Without a long mental struggle, he walked to the window and tightened the blinds, and then made a phone call.

"Mr. Lynch, I'm from...the office...that's right, I saw a file when I came to the office this morning."

"...Yes, there is reporting material on Wealth Bank's alleged industry monopoly."

"...Yes, it was...sent. The intern at the door saw him sending the materials in."

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone right away... No, I'll deliver it myself."

"...Thank you very much for your trust, Mr. Lynch, this is what I should do!"

With a flattering smile, the man put the phone receiver respectfully back on the phone base with both hands. If the phone base had a mind of its own, it might think that this minute is the pinnacle of its life!

How could someone respect it so much and show that disgusting smile!

The man let out a breath after hanging up the phone, then took the files and clothes and hurriedly left the office.

About twenty minutes later, his car stopped outside Lynch's large villa.

Under the guidance of a housekeeper - he thought it was a housekeeper who didn't look like an ordinary servant, judging from the way she received him.

He followed the housekeeper into the villa and waited for a while in Lynch's living room before Lin Qi opened the door and entered.

He immediately stood up, took the initiative to go over and hold Lynch's hand, "Mr. Lynch, I just talked to you on the phone..."

Lynch patted the back of his hand and said, "Yes, I remember your presence."

He glanced at the coffee table and asked, "What would you like to drink?"

"Black tea, coffee, or some wine?"

"Although it may be a little too early to drink alcohol in the morning, I believe those taxpayers will not come to your office to trouble you."

The man chose to have some wine, and he really needed to relax.

Lin Qi found a bottle of good wine, poured him some, and drank some for himself.

"Is this the report document?" he asked, looking at the file bag on the coffee table as he handed over the square cup of wine.

The man nodded repeatedly, "Yes, that's it."

"I should be able to take a look, right?"

"Would it violate the rules?"

It was the first time that a man shook his head so fast. If he moved slower, he could see the little fat on his face being shaken out in waves under the skin.

"How could there be such a rule?"

"As a party, of course you have the right to view this document!"

Lynch picked up the portfolio and took out the documents, "Then I'll excuse you for a moment."

After watching Lin Qi leave, the man couldn't help but light a cigarette. It probably didn't have much to do with him now.

Lin Qi took the file and went directly to the study. After opening it, he didn't read it very carefully.

Most of the evidence and basis listed in the document are true, if someone supports it, or if the five major industries have not fallen yet, they are still struggling.

It is possible that they will unite to push for this investigation to open a case and collect evidence.

But now, it's too late.

Lynch pulled out a separate page listing the names of some of the witnesses and left it on the table.

Then he picked up other documents and put them back, and returned to the living room.

"I just looked at it and accidentally soiled two pages. I'll have someone clean it up and send it to you."

"I think the report here is all slander and false accusation. I don't admit that it truthfully describes the development and current situation of Wealth Bank."

The man also agreed with this point, "I see it this way too, so I plan not to file a case. You see..."

Lynch leaned back slightly, crossed his legs, and took out a cigarette.

The man immediately took out his lighter, bent over and leaned over with his butt raised, and carefully lit a cigarette for Lynch before sitting back down.

"Why not file a case?"

Seeing the astonishment on the man's face, Lynch did not let him fall into "torture time". Some people have a bad taste and like to make people suffer without knowing how to choose.

But Lynch is not such a person. This kind of person must hold the scepter tightly at all times. Once he loses the power in his hand, he will most likely die miserably.

“The federal government established the Office of Antitrust Investigation with the purpose of preventing antitrust phenomena.”

"I don't think Wealth Bank and Global Communications are involved in monopoly, and some of the testimonies and witnesses mentioned may be untrue."

"Considering the corporate image, you can announce to the outside world that you have filed a case and investigated. I, as well as the whole society, will look forward to the results of the investigation."

The man immediately understood what Lynch meant, "So... which step is best for me to investigate?"

Lynch half-smiled, "Logically speaking, I shouldn't tell you these work-related matters, but I think that when you find out that some of the key witnesses and evidence they listed are forged, you should be able to prove it to the whole society. This accusation is completely false..."
