Chapter 1373 The First Season Finals

On the day of the college admissions interview, thousands of people paid their tuition fees, confirming their future college student status.

According to Lynch and the principal's initial plan, because this is the first year of the school's founding, many things have not spread out, such as influence.

There are some professors, proper college teachers, faculty members and the like who are a little bit on the fence about this school.

This year's enrollment target is 500 people, but now it is said that there are already 3000 people who have reached their intentions, which has seriously exceeded the plan.

Fortunately, Lynch said that if you can squeeze, then squeeze, and eventually the school will keep the 3000 or [-] students who paid the tuition first.

And those people before this... Unfortunately, I can only say sorry to them.

Sometimes there is no absolute fairness in some things, even the fairness itself is not absolutely fair.

In the early morning, Lynch and Catherine got up, changed their clothes, and started running in the morning.

A self-disciplined life is actually a process of self-sublimation and transformation. Although most ugly ducklings are still ugly ducklings after sublimation and transformation, at least they have gained a lot in this process.

Good exercise can make people's body and mood clearer. The two ran in the green shade of the city's Central Park under the first ray of sunshine in the morning.

For them, running has become a part of their life, and they are not out of breath.

“…sometimes I can’t believe how complicated a city’s political issues can be!”

While running, Catherine whispered about some political struggles in Sabine City. She was just an ordinary city councilor. She had to leave the office by herself and hire people to serve her with her own money. The annual salary given to her by the city hall might be the minimum salary level.

Sounds like... city council is a thankless job?
If you just look at what it does and how it's hired, then it does.

Most of the federal councilors have to deal with some things related to the city, such as the pollution caused by the factory that causes the death of fish in the city or the surrounding rivers and lakes.

Or if a safety accident occurred in a certain factory, they are responsible for participating in the investigation process to ensure that capitalists will not use wealth to manipulate judicial justice.

Most of the time, members of parliament are doing dirty and tiring work, and they don't have much salary, even an ordinary worker may not be comparable.

But in fact, the income of most of the councilors does not come from wages, but from the situation that people least want to see, the transfer of interests from capitalists.

Of course they won't know.

In addition to being tired from work, MPs sometimes have conflicts with other MPs.

For example, member A and member B belong to different capital camps, and the business of the two companies may overlap or even conflict in some parts.

In order to defend the interests of the capitalists, both parties must attack each other.

Catherine received a pollution case. When she was investigating, someone suddenly said that her investigation was illegal, that there were problems with the procedures and procedures, and that it must be terminated.

She didn't understand it at the time, and it was only two days later when her staff reminded her that she was involved in the confrontation between two local companies.

The two sides reported each other's violations, and tried their best to keep those congressmen and the investigation team from going around them. They used all means.

Catherine felt for the first time that MPs had more than responsibility.

She talked a lot with Lynch. When she was an intern in the presidential palace, it was not as complicated as it is now.

After all, being an intern in the Presidential Palace is just doing errands, and after becoming a city councilor, she can put forward her own suggestions to the mayor, speak out on behalf of the people, and even find ways to push certain cases to pass!

From an outsider to an insider, she finally saw the complexity of politics.

"Everyone wears a mask, you don't know if they're talking nonsense, and you don't know who to trust!"

Catherine was very emotional when she said these words. She thought she had imagined the job to be very complicated, but she was still too naive and miscalculated the complexity of politics.

Lynch passed on some experience while running, "Actually, politics is simpler than you think."

"All actions have a purpose, and this purpose, for the politicians at the bottom, is to gain more support from capitalists."

"So when they choose to do something, they will show their bottom line more clearly than upper-level politicians."

"When we talk about the sanctity of politics, we mean that you already have a high political status, so you can have such characteristics!"

"Just like Mr. President, we will push education reform very slowly and face many difficulties, but when Mr. President decides to do so, it will become very easy..."

Catherine was thoughtful.

In fact, Lynch has lied. Even when he is in the position of Mr. President, there are many things that he cannot do or touch.

Even if changes in these things would be of great benefit to the people!

Because at the level of Mr. President, there are capital forces or political forces at the same level as him, or even higher.

No one can do everything the way they want.

After encouraging Catherine to continue to work hard, Lynch had a brief chat with her staff, and the university journalism class really made the professor feel bored.

She likes her current job, even if it's just a low-level politician, it makes her feel the heartbeat brought about by that kind of game.

She asked Lynch a question in private, if one day Catherine can go higher, not limited to a certain city or a certain region, will she have the opportunity to enter politics.

This is like a kind of appeal, a desire for benefits. What she needs is not a salary, but an achievement!
Lynch gave her a positive answer. If Catherine could really grow to that height, it would not be a big deal for Lynch to win a mayor!

Catherine is now in Sabine, very popular in York State, many families with children will thank her for everything she has done for the people of the state, and this is what every politician needs most - popular support.

This will provide indescribable support for her future mayor campaign and governor campaign.

But this is something that every politician can't do on their own, because without the intervention and help of capital, they can only start with "I have an ideal..." every time they are in front of the public!
At noon, Lynch had a meal with the mayor of Sabine, the nephew of the governor.

Thanks to the re-election of the governor, he was also re-elected.

Of course, his re-election is not because he left the governor's relationship, it is entirely because the people of Sabine City are willing to continue to believe in him and give him the opportunity to continue to show himself.

In the evening, Lynch and Catherine sat together in front of the TV, watching the finals of the first season of "The Rich Maker".

After four months of selection and competition, the premiere season has come to the end, and countless people are crazy about these contestants.

According to what Momo told Lynch, at least thousands of letters from all over the country were sent to the TV station every day.

Some of them are self-recommendations, hoping to be on the show, and the other part are letters full of anger scolding the TV station for being stupid.

This is understandable, their favorite player is eliminated, or the player they bet on is eliminated, it is normal for them to be angry.

Yes, gambling is a legal business in the Federation, and all registered gaming companies have discovered a new business opportunity.

This time, they don't need to spend their own money to organize such a competitive and suspenseful game. Someone has done it for them, and they just need to offer the odds.

Every player can bet, and the betting on the finals champion is always going on.

According to the statistics made by some consulting companies of Bu Paine, the total off-site bets of the program "Millionaire" currently exceeds [-] million!

This is the case that the bookmaker only discovered and opened betting after nearly one-third of the TV broadcast.

If bets are made from the beginning of the season, it is possible that the total bets will be higher!

In the evening, the two sat on the sofa eating snacks, drinking drinks, and watching TV.

Now the studio hall has been expanded several times. In order to reflect the tension and authenticity of the game, the TV station allowed more viewers to enter the scene, and made sure that the whole game process was not shady.

"Who will win?" Catherine, who was eating dried fruit, couldn't help asking curiously.

This season's competition has a lot to watch, and the program team has mastered Lynch's essence in selecting contestants.

That is, every player has a reason to win, and everyone is very sympathetic and even pitiful.

It's like the girl who was eliminated in the first month. Although she was resurrected later, she was eliminated in the end.

Everyone has certain luminous points, which can be said to be some kind of "pain" at the bottom of society.

They are not the glamorous middle class, they are part of the general public. Many of the problems they exhibit are actually common in many families, but they are not as extreme as they appear.

It is precisely because of this that every contestant has a large number of supporters, and every contestant is eliminated, there will be a large number of letters sent to the TV station to criticize the organizer for losing humanity.

But it is undeniable that it has also brought unprecedented heat.

Even if other TV stations followed suit, not to mention shoulder to shoulder, it can only be the kind of gap that even the taillights cannot be seen.

Lynch shook his head, "I don't know either."

Catherine continued to ask, "Didn't you decide who is the champion?"

Lynch shook his head again, "They considered it, but I refused. This is not a carnival for a certain person, or a small group of people. What I hope is to truly let the fate of some people participate in this program After that, changes happen!"
