Cosma Empire

Du Lin was also very surprised when he received the call. His Highness the First Prince has been very active recently, and it seems that he can be seen no matter where he is.

However, when he needed to be in touch with him at work, he often couldn't see anyone for various reasons.

Everyone knows that he is avoiding some people and avoiding talking about recent events.

Now that he took the initiative to appear in front of him, Du Lin couldn't figure out what the eldest prince was thinking for a while. Everyone knew that he was the successor supported by Magus, and he would definitely become the leader of the new party in the future. Opportunity to aspire to such a throne as Chancellor of the Empire.

His Royal Highness, a guy who digs the corners of the New Party, actually invites the rising stars of the New Party, no matter how you look at it, it makes people feel a little strange.

Du Lin would not think that this was His Highness the First Prince trying to win him over or even dig him into the Imperial Party, because his position in the New Party was definitely not something that the Imperial Party and the First Prince could give him.

Everyone knows that he represents the political continuation of Magus, and if nothing else, he will definitely be prime minister, and he is now a governor.

What can the imperial party give him?

Apart from giving him a worthless position in the party, he has no access to any actual power. Even if the other party offers him a very high price, it is not worthwhile for him.

After thinking about it, Du Lin felt that it would be better to meet His Royal Highness the First Prince. If he was kind, then everyone would naturally live in peace.

If he is malicious or has other intentions, he can learn some inside information as soon as possible, and then guard against him causing trouble in the future.

After agreeing to the request of the First Prince, Du Lin started to leave. Ophelia is currently in the hospital and does not need to say hello. One of the best hotels in Jiadidu...

The Empire Light Hotel is not a particularly famous hotel, and most of the time it hardly exists in the perception of most people. Unlike the Calorman Hotel or Dilin, the Empire Light Hotel is very low-key, so low-key that even Ordinary people in the imperial capital know very little.

This is mainly because the Light of Empire has stipulated that it does not accept civilian guests from the beginning of its operation. This is a five-story hotel hidden at No. 27 Empire Avenue, covering an area of ​​about 2,000 square meters. The Imperial Avenue is close to the regulatory area of ​​the Royal Palace.

Walking here needs to carry some valid identification, because at any time, agents of the Bureau of Investigation and agents of the Military Intelligence Bureau will stop pedestrians who may look very suspicious or very unsuspicious and ask for proof.

Once you can't prove your innocence, the people from the investigation bureau will invite you back to the investigation bureau very unceremoniously and have a feast of torture. Proven.

Most of those people have disappeared, and they have never been soft on the crackdown on spies. As long as they cannot prove themselves, there must be something wrong. It doesn't matter what the problem is. The important thing is that everyone with problems should die.

Therefore, most people in the imperial capital are unwilling to toss back and forth on this road. It is really not pleasant to be invited to drink coffee for free, even if they are locals of the imperial capital.

Of course, this does not mean that there are very few people on this road. In fact, there are not many people. Except for the section near the imperial palace, Imperial Avenue, that is, the section of First Avenue near the city center, is the busiest road in the imperial capital. Where the venue is located.

Almost all the luxury goods that can be seen and heard at home and abroad have their own directly-operated stores here. Every day, countless politicians, businessmen, celebrities, performing arts stars and other public figures appear here to shop. Of course, most of them will not be close to the section of the palace, after all, it is very troublesome.

This kind of environment made the Empire Light Hotel unknown. Even if someone passed by, they would soon forget that this hotel has a small door and does not look luxurious from the outside.

Those who have never entered,

You will never understand the luxury and dignity of this hotel, after all, it was once one of the assets of the royal family.

The car stopped at the guard for a while, and two guards who were transferred from the military came out of the sentry box, glanced at Du Lin who was sitting in the back seat, and then registered the words "Du Lin and his entourage, a total of three" and the time in the notebook. Finally, the brake was turned on, and the car slowly drove into the core of the Imperial Avenue.

Some young pedestrians on the road glanced at the driving car curiously, guessing who was sitting in it and what kind of important position they occupied, otherwise how could they drive the car in here?

But those older people didn't make any fuss. They have worked here or lived nearby for a long time. Such prominent figures have long been numb and accustomed to it.

The car slowly stopped outside the door of the Imperial Light Hotel, and the doorman stood outside the door and waited for about ten seconds.

Sometimes due to some special reasons, when there are more than one passenger and a driver in the car, the identity of the person sitting in the main seat is often more important and special, and the person sitting in the co-pilot will take the initiative to help the more important person to pull away. car door.

At this time, if the doorman opened the car door one step earlier, he would definitely offend someone, because his identity and status might not match the guest behind him.

Some people don't care about these things that emphasize ritual, but some people take it as the principle of daily life, and if they make a mistake, they will get angry and lose their temper.

Small doormen may not be afraid, but they have nothing to do when they encounter big people, so the best way is to wait.

If the passenger is a little upset, regardless of whether he feels neglected or not, the doorman will immediately say "the car has stopped, sir, please get out of the car" when opening the door.

As soon as this sentence was explained, even if those people felt a little unhappy, it was over.

While he was waiting, the co-pilot's door opened, the doorman smiled and bent lower, and stepped aside, this is the benefit of being cautious.

Dufer opened the door of the back seat, and Du Lin stepped out. This time, he only brought Duffer alone. The main reason is that it is not convenient to enter here, especially when there are many people with him.

After getting out of the car, Du Lin stretched his shoulders and walked towards the hotel. Dufo stood still and took out a stack of two-dollar banknotes from his pocket, counted five and pulled them out.

The five banknotes fluttered to the ground, and he followed Du Lin's pace for a few steps without looking back.

The stooped doorman squatted down, picked up the scattered money on the ground, and put it in his pocket properly.

Only 50% of this tip really belongs to him, 20% is from the manager on duty today, 15% is from the head waiter, and the last 15% will be distributed to The rest of his team, this is the rule.

Although every time there is a tip, others have to share a lot, but this job is really too profitable, even if half of it is taken away, they have no complaints.

Entering the lobby of the hotel, the deep red carpet is laid on the yellow and white floor tiles inlaid with gold edges. It is not the gold edges that people describe, but the real gold edges. The gaps between the bricks are covered with gold to achieve aesthetic purpose.

Gold, white and yellow are complemented by a bright red carpet, which immediately sets off the noble style.

As soon as the two came in, the lobby manager immediately greeted her. It was a girl in her twenties, wearing neutral formal attire, with a good face and good looks, but she would not make people feel coquettish.

The guests here are all real big shots. These people have never seen any kind of occasion in their life, and have never done any kind of charitable deeds. It is better to dress rigorously and formally than to dress less here.

The more high-end the place, the harder it is to see girls who can't afford to wear clothes. After all, these places are too high-end and poor girls can't come in.

"Mr. Du Lin, Your Highness, they have arrived, please follow me..." The manager's voice was pleasant, she walked in front of Du Lin, and the three of them passed through the lobby and entered the elevator room. There are five elevators in total. doors, respectively, to only five single floors.

After entering the elevator, the manager asked with a smile, "If you are not busy, I would like to introduce you to the history of Empire Light..."

This is of course inevitable, the girl... Actually, she should be older than Du Lin, but she looks smaller after makeup, and her face is also smaller. She has been introducing the history of the light of the empire during the process of leading Du Lin to the room. The whole process About three minutes.

In three minutes, I introduced the construction of Empire Light, the celebrities who have been entertained here in history, and some of the current developments. The introduction is also finished.

The girl knocked on the door, and about ten seconds later, the door was opened from the inside. She bent down and stretched out her hand to guide Du Lin and Dufo in, while she stayed outside.

There were two girls in the room to greet Du Lin, and then led him through several doors before seeing His Highness the First Prince.

Everything is fine here, it's just a bit too big.

In fact, in the past, this place could only accommodate four guests at a time, living on the second, third, fourth and fifth floors respectively. Now, some changes have taken place in the operation. The first floor is still used as a restaurant and some supporting facilities, and the second and third floors have been split It became six suites on each floor, the fourth floor was divided into three suites, and the fifth floor maintained a super suite with a total of 2,000 square meters!

This time the eldest prince's banquet was held on the fifth floor, which used to be the property of the royal family. Naturally, members of the royal family would have discounts that others didn't have when they came here, but even if there was a discount, 20,000 to 30,000 yuan would be lost.

"Mr. Du Lin, haha, I'm just waiting for you!", His Highness the First Prince was very enthusiastic, lively, and enthusiastic. He laughed and walked towards Du Lin, with a very familiar feeling.

In fact, the two people didn't have such a good relationship before, and they didn't even say a few words. Most of the time, the so-called "meeting" means looking at each other from a long distance in certain activities and occasions. look at the head.

But now, he acts like Du Lin's good friend for many years, and he is extremely enthusiastic.

He also glanced at Dufo, patted Dufo's arm, and threw the unpacked paradise in his hand, "Duofo, right, it's fun, if you need anything today, just talk to these few A girl said, anything is fine!", he even raised his eyebrows, the meaning is self-evident.

Du Fu is a little bit puzzled, but when someone smiles at you and shows good wishes to you, even if you are a boss, you won't give him a fist right away, not to mention that there has been no conflict between them so far.

He turned his head, put his arm around Du Lin's shoulder and led him inside.

This room is about 100 square meters. In addition to the dance floor and bar, there is also a large sofa set and a coffee table.

There were already seven men and one woman standing by the sofa, and three other girls were serving in the room.

As soon as the three of them came in, these people all had sincere and hypocritical smiles on their faces. They said they were sincere because they saw the benefits and benefits in Du Lin, and they said they were hypocritical because they definitely did not do it because they wanted to. I know Du Lin and want to be friends with Du Lin.

Among them, Du Lin knew two people. One was the vice chairman of the board of directors of the Bondica Military Industry Group. He represented the group company to handle some matters facing the public. It could be regarded as a role similar to that of a spokesperson.

The other is a very famous female editor-in-chief of the Imperial Daily, and one of the initiators of the feminist movement, enjoying a high reputation among feminist fighters.

As for the others, I don't know any of them, but the fact that these people can appear on such an occasion means that they are definitely not simple.

"Come, come, let me introduce to you, our new friend, Governor of Ambiluo State, Mr. Du Lin!" His Royal Highness was very active and made the atmosphere very warm, and then began to introduce these guests to Du Lin one by one. .

Except for the vice chairman of Bondica and the editor-in-chief of the Imperial Daily, the other six people are all celebrities, wealthy businessmen, and very famous and influential social activists.

Among them, the social activist Saul, Du Lin also cooperated with him, nothing more than giving him money to let him bring the rhythm of public opinion.

This guy pays great attention to maintaining his image, and a considerable part of the money he earns is used in charity activities. He presents himself as a heroic and unyielding fighter against injustice and shady crimes. There are a large number of people in the society. Everyone adores him.

If those people know the deal behind him and see him appearing on such an occasion, I am afraid that this fighter is also a joker.

After introducing these people, everyone sat down separately, and Du Lin sat next to His Highness the First Prince, which was also requested by the First Prince, which shows how much he attaches importance to Du Lin.

The atmosphere on the table became active with the first glass of wine, and everyone chatted about the situation of the imperial party.

Because the imperial party was still in its infancy, the eldest prince announced the establishment of the imperial party, but after all, it was only a temporary choice. Now it needs a process to truly establish it. On the contrary, the labor party has completed the transformation from a trade union to a political party. There is a framework, just change the name.

"I have encountered a lot of troubles in the process of forming a party recently, so I just took this opportunity to ask you for advice..." The First Prince picked up the wine glass and looked at Du Lin with a half-smile.
