Cosma Empire

Du Lin stayed in Tener for several days, and on the afternoon of the fourth day, all the prominent socialites in Tener City received an invitation from Mason to have dinner with them.

After all, Tenel is not a big city, the market is limited, and there are no business celebrities who can become famous in the empire. Even if there are, they will not stay in the small place of Tenel, so the number of people will not be so large. When Du Lin didn't leave Tenel, there were only twenty or thirty famous people from all walks of life, and some of them were wild dogs like Peter and Gedor who had their fangs removed and put in cages. Nothing like the climate.

After so many years of development, not only has the number of the upper class in this city not increased, but it has shown signs of decreasing. The changes in the empire's foreign policy have caused some problems for Tenel's pillar industries, especially after the establishment of the special zone. Part of the trade has started to go from the foreign special zones, and the transportation fee may have to be increased, but the various preferential tax exemption and tax refund policies can actually allow the import and export of some bulk commodities to obtain more preferential treatment.

Coupled with the gradual decline of the bootlegging industry and some other gray industries, and the population flow from remote and backward areas to developed areas, this city is somewhat bleak compared with the increasingly prosperous cities in the central and southern cities.

Originally, some people wanted to refuse Mason's phone call, but when they heard that Du Lin would also attend, none of them said that they had time and hoped to attend such a banquet.

Dooling is a big shot coming out of Tenell City, plus he is going to run for governor of the western region, this is definitely a huge temptation for these people. No one would dislike that their social circle is too wide and their connections are too strong. If they can establish a relationship with Du Lin, they might be able to use this person's energy to achieve a career at some point.

In the evening, Du Lin booked the hotel opposite the city hall. This hotel used to be run by the former mayor Peter's mistress. It was overcrowded every day. People knew that Peter's family had some problems. The mistress stayed here overnight, which gave these people some opportunities, even if it was just a normal meal, they might be able to get acquainted.

After Peter was assassinated and killed, the woman disappeared mysteriously. There is a saying that she left Tenell with some money left by Peter, and found an honest man in a certain city to start a family and live a happy life. ordinary life. At that time, some gangs went to collect clues, not for the woman, but for the money in her bank, but unfortunately they found nothing in the end.

After Peter's mistress disappeared, the hotel was resubcontracted by the city hall to another businessman. After the renovation and opening, the business performance was mediocre, but it wasn't too bad. As long as it didn't lose money, it could be regarded as a facade.

When Du Lin wanted to book the hotel this time, the manager of the hotel also said that he didn't need Du Lin's money, and they were willing to provide the place for free. At Du Lin's stage, he no longer considered how to take advantage of others, but how not to be taken advantage of by others. He still gave a lot of money in the end.

Many luxury cars parked outside the hotel at night also added a lot of color to the hotel. Most passers-by would look at it curiously, wanting to see what happened, and it would actually bring together those famous and famous people in Tener City. But these people are destined to know everything that happened here today.

Class is always a ruthless and cold city wall, there is no reason to speak of human feelings, if the level is not enough, the level is not enough!

There are still about 20 minutes before the dinner starts, and the people Mason invited have already arrived. Now Mason and Du Lin are no longer the inconspicuous little characters they used to be. If these people have to step on the door before entering , that is to show Du Lin's face. Everyone knew very well that Du Lin was not a good person, but a ruthless person. It was the most stupid thing to provoke such a guy who would easily kill someone, and with Du Lin's current status and identity, it was not their turn to belittle them.

Before dinner started, when everyone gathered in the lounge,

Du Lin appeared, and there was a very temperamental woman beside him. Some people looked away with a flick of their eyelids, and some kept looking at this woman with some curiosity, as if they had seen it somewhere .

"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening." Du Lin smiled and nodded, and immediately there were people cheering. He greeted everyone with a smile. Some people he knew, and some people were very strange. He stepped aside a little After some distance, he introduced his female companion, "Tonight, I have the honor to invite a very special guest to have dinner with us, the lady next to me, Mrs. Vivienne."

When he said these words, those who didn't understand suddenly realized, and the way these people looked at Mason also changed. They were very clear about Mason's campaign, and it was fine that they had maintained a good relationship with Mason, but the problem was that this city was within the sphere of influence of the old party, and there were corresponding rules for every step. If you want to leapfrog promotion, it is not impossible, but you must come up with something that is enough to convince everyone, otherwise you must obey the rules of the game.

The old party does not advocate free competition like the new party. The stubborn and corrupt system allows everyone to follow every step, but there are also many people who like this system, because compared with free competition, competitiveness under this system smaller.

If you have achieved the few points required for promotion, then you will be able to be promoted. You don’t need to compete with others for a place. There is no life-and-death struggle. It gives people an illusion that as long as I work hard, I will definitely be able to achieve it. There will always be people who like it. this.

As the daughter of the last governor, Vivienne has enough influence to cover the entire Canles state, and even higher levels. The governor and the governor are not the same concept. In the decadent old society, the governor means the military and political power. Without a strong enough background and background, it is impossible to think of being able to achieve this step. This is enough to say that it is the top of the old party.

When the old governor was buried, even Kubal, the leader of the old party, personally sent a telegram to mourn the old governor, which is enough to illustrate the reputation of the governor.

Vivienne is the only direct descendant of His Excellency the Governor who survives in the world, and is also one of the most famous and charismatic few women's rights fighters, and has publicly stated that she will run for the mayor of Al Odo Pay attention to the news in this area, most of you here have heard of it. The way they looked at Mason changed slightly at this time. With Du Lin's financial support and Vivienne's support as an iconic figure in the old party, Mason's chances of successfully running for councilor or mayor will be extremely high. skyrocketed.

People who were vacillating at first also began to weigh the pros and cons. Some people lost their appetite before dinner. A huge change in the ruling class of a city also means that the structure of the entire city may change. If you can't keep up with the rhythm, you will be eliminated. This is terrible!

As the inviters of this dinner, Mason, Du Lin, and Vivienne kept wandering in the lounge, had a cordial conversation with each invitee, and summed up a few words in a thousand words to support Mason, Support Vivian.

After the dinner, Du Lin left Mason to greet those celebrities. He and Vivienne found a more private place, such as the Delille Museum of Art, to discuss other matters.

Inviting Vivienne to stand for Mason this time, Du Lin did not do nothing. Vivienne herself is in a relatively sensitive period. At this time, actively creating political interference or influence is not a good thing for her to participate in the election. This will make people feel that this woman is too strong and difficult to get along with. Before she became the mayor of Alodo, she began to intervene in some work in the following cities, and it was inevitable that she would be artificially created obstacles in the election.

So the appearance of Vivienne this time is also due to Du Lin's work.

"Actually, the current situation is not clear..." Vivienne asked De Lier to send some drinks and fruit and then drove him out. I haven't seen this sissy become less sissy for several years. It was a little bit normal, but Du Lin didn't recognize it at the first time. He came back to his senses at this time, looked at Vivienne, who took a sip of red wine with her glass, paused for a moment, and continued, "Some small troubles are not troublesome, the biggest trouble now lies in the state government. The attitude, you know, the governor is a new party guy."

Kanles State is not the most staunch vote base of a certain party. Four cities support the reform of the new party, and three cities support the old party. on the governor's throne. Some people have always questioned that the new party cheated during the vote counting process. Otherwise, how could the old party be defeated by only a few votes. Whether the governor's power is fair and just has always been controversial.

In addition, after the governor came to power, he launched a vigorous political offensive to weaken the influence of the old party in Kanles State, and it has already achieved initial results. If Al Odo, the mayor of the capital city of the state, is taken down by the old party at this time, it will There is no doubt that it is equivalent to a slap in the face of the governor.

It is the biggest negation of his eight years of work, so Vivienne's campaign is not so smooth, and this is also the main reason why she wants to visit abroad, to find help from the outside world to break the current shackles, and give her a chance to sit on that Location.

"So, what do I need to do?" Du Lin glanced at Dufo who was beside Vivienne. There were eight apples lying on the plate in his hand. Just as he was about to reach for half of them, he stuffed them into his mouth one by one. Li, with some embarrassment, retracted his arm.

The corners of Vivian's eyes twitched. She wanted to take it too, but when Du Lin reached out her hand, she waited politely. Unexpectedly, she ate it all...

After deliberating for a while, she said, "I need your support for my campaign, from the top, and other aspects!"
