Cosma Empire

At four o'clock in the afternoon, when Durin was preparing to have an early meal, Scott came. Not only did he come, but he also brought two people, an ordinary-looking man wearing glasses and a bit silly, and a coquettish woman.

If Du Lin often watched movies, he would know that this woman is currently a popular female star. Her name is Celine. People didn't know her through movies before they knew her, but three other things.

Body, gossip, topic!

She has a body that many women would envy, which conforms to the aesthetics of most men. A woman with such a figure will definitely have good luck, and then she has changed seventeen boyfriends in four years and has sex with her at every turn. Funny stories of other public figures attacking each other in the media. It wasn't until someone put a lot of effort into making her famous in the past two years that those things gradually disappeared and were replaced by her roles and performances.

"Do you want to have dinner together?" Dulin shook Scott's hand. He hadn't seen this guy for a while, and he didn't come to pick him up with Hoxton, including this time. Du Lin withdrew his hand, and led Scott into the side hall. After the three of them were arranged to sit down, Du Lin looked at Scott, "Tell me, what can you do with me? It seems that we had a very good time in the past." In terms of cooperation relationship, I will consider it as appropriate."

Scott didn't seem to care about what Dooling said at all. He knew that Doolin was a very serious person, but sometimes he joked, "This is how you receive old friends, it's so sad!", Room The atmosphere here was quite lively and peaceful. Scott's smile gradually subsided after a few laughs, and he introduced the two guests around him to Du Lin.

"This is Mr. Monte, one of the top five film companies, the gold medal producer of Winter Flower Films. If you have watched the movie..., sorry, I remembered that you don't watch movies. Anyway, Mr. Monte is very powerful. The eleven films he supervised have all achieved great success, and are known as the 'lighthouse' in the industry, which can bring sufficient returns to investors!"

Monte took the initiative to stand up. He pushed the glasses frame, bent down and reached out to shake Du Lin who was opposite the coffee table, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Du Lin."

Du Lin also nodded, and then Scott introduced that very special woman, Celine.

He has been working in the city hall, and often represents Hoxton to contact people from all walks of life. He has developed an eloquent mouth. Celine, who had no background and a bad private life, became white in Scott's mouth. A girl as holy as a lotus. Celine also took the initiative to shake hands with Du Lin, and then sat back very reservedly.

Du Linduo glanced at the woman. When he shook hands just now, he clearly felt that the woman scratched his palm with her fingers. If there was no mistake, this woman was hinting at one thing to him, that is, she was afraid of ghosts. Dirty things like that. Actors like the heroine are known to have a single room, and she's sure to be scared when night falls, so hopefully someone can accompany her through the night of terror.

Moreover, the weather is not very good now, and it is snowing heavily. It would be even better if we can keep warm together while encouraging each other to get through the dark night.

But it's a pity that Du Lin is also afraid of ghosts, so he basically doesn't go out at night.

Celine bit her lips in disappointment that she didn't get enough response. She was very charming when she made this little gesture. The producer and Scott actually saw it, but they pretended not to see it.

In fact, Celine is more connotative than her performance. She knows Frena, and the two of them once collaborated in a movie. They are the kind of passer-by girlfriends who look like a background board to set off the otherworldly protagonist. She also knew what happened to Frena later. To be honest, it was a good choice to have a young and rich man in her body, at least much better than the guy who was enough to be her father.

"That's it!" Scott drew everyone's attention to himself, "Mr. Monte and the others are shooting a romantic love movie,

We have also signed an agreement with the city hall, and we will help them to the greatest extent with the problems and difficulties they encounter in filming. They needed a building with a beautiful view to support the romance of the movie, and your estate is obviously the most suitable place. "

"That's right, Mr. Dooling." Monte's brown hair is a bit messy. Today he is wearing a brown red and white striped check coat and wearing a pair of wide-rimmed eyes, just like those unkempt professors in the college. . He pushed the frame of his glasses and looked at Du Lin sincerely, "When our movie is released, it will be enough to bring you and your estate a great reputation. I believe this is what you hope, and we will also Pay a handsome reward for your generosity."

Du Lin thought for a while and shook his head, "I'm not short of money, and I don't want people to understand me, so I'm sorry."

"Really?" There was a look of disappointment on Monte's face. He liked this manor on the cliff by the sea very much. The blue sea sets off the nobility and mystery of this manor, which is very in line with the artistic conception in the script. However, he also knew who Du Lin was. The refusal on the phone led him to find Scott. Scott also had a problem that had not been resolved, so there was really no way to solve it.

The two left quickly, and Scott stayed. He sighed first, and then said with a wry smile: "A very presumptuous question, if one day I go to Odis to join you , will you take me in?"

His words made Du Lin a little confused. Scott has always been Hoxton's most capable assistant in his impression. On certain occasions in the past, Hoxton used a suggestive tone to tell others , if he leaves Illian, then he will definitely nominate Scott to succeed him as mayor. Many people know his thoughts, and think this is the best choice. After all, the probability of appearing in the entire city is the highest. It is not the mayor that everyone is familiar with, but it represents that he is outside every day. Scott on the run.

Based on Scott's understanding of Illian and the business community here, it would definitely be good news if he could become the mayor.

But now it seems that this is not the case.

Scott leaned back on the sofa, rubbed his face a little frustrated, "I know what you're trying to say, in fact, sometimes it's not a good thing for someone to be too good!" After saying this obviously self-flattering sentence He laughed first, "Can you believe it, Hoxton actually plans to take me into office after successfully running for governor, this is completely different from what we said before."

"He lied to me!"

Now Du Lin completely understood, in the final analysis, it was because of power. If the mayor and the governor's secretary are simply divided by their status within the party, the two are actually similar. Many of the governor's secretaries later became mayors or congressmen, but in terms of actual power, the difference between the two is too great.

The governor's secretary is still just a secretary, not the one who really makes decisions. Others take you seriously because of the governor's face. If you really meet that kind of unambiguous official, what is the governor's secretary?

The mayor is different. He holds the power and is the king of a city. He can manage and build a city according to his own ideas and political ambitions. How can this be done by the secretary of the governor?

Scott has done a great job these years, and made Hoston so comfortable. He has done all the good and bad things, and he has done all the difficult things, so that Hoston can just sit in the office and sign, or adjust the city's The direction of development is enough, as for the rest, teach Scott to complete. With such a capable subordinate, Hoxton is definitely unwilling to let go, so he plans to take him with him to take office in Isennas State.

In addition, his relationship with Dooling is not bad, and he can reconcile in the play when he gets there to avoid conflicts between himself and Doolin. This gives Hoxton more reasons to bring Scott to open this City.

Originally, these were all Hoxton's own thoughts, but after seeing Du Lin yesterday, he was a little uneasy, so he called Harry to verify some things, and it turned out that Scott heard part of it, and in the past six months Hoxton did not continue to hint that someone else Scott would take over, which immediately made Scott suspicious. Then he asked for proof very cleverly—to put it simply, he wanted to show his loyalty. As a result, Hoxton took it seriously and immediately told him that he was willing to take him with him.

It's not that Hoxton is stupid. The two of them have been together for six years, they are too familiar with each other, and their daily cooperation is full of tacit understanding. Hoxton never thought that Scott was testing him, so he said something that shouldn't be said. out.

Feeling cheated, Scott suddenly became mentally unbalanced. He tried his best to do things for Hoxton in the past few years, not because Hoxton had such a charisma, nor because there was something beyond friendship between the two of them, it was purely It's Scott who wants to be a mayor, it's Power!

Now everything he'd worked so hard for was in vain, so he set out to find a way for himself.

Dooling wasn't his best choice, but at the same time he was his best choice.

From a political perspective, Du Lin does not have the necessary conditions to become a high-level empire. He is not a graduate of the Royal Academy, does not have a terrifying social network, and is not of noble origin. His political future is extremely limited. This is a The bad side. But Doolin is the best choice because Scott knows Doolin. The biggest difference between Doolin and Hoxton is that he can let go.

As long as he gained Du Lin's trust, he would be able to deliver all aspects, and he would not intervene unless something major happened. Scott, who has had enough of being a secretary, wants to gain some actual power, so Dooling is the best choice.
