Chapter 1423 Distance
"Have you been with the president lately?"

When some things became normal, the voice that should have been full of emotions also became flat.

Sitting in front of the dressing table and looking at herself in the mirror, Ms. Chris, who planned to touch up a little makeup before dinner, looked at her husband through the reflection of the mirror, "I haven't had it for a while, what's wrong?"

Without waiting for her husband to answer, she continued to stare at herself in the mirror, began to touch up her makeup, and said directly, "I have already told you about you, and he will have to wait until after he is re-elected."

"He can kick out some of the people that the supporters stuffed in, so that there will be more places to arrange his own people, and then you will have a good place."

"I don't know much about this aspect, but it's only a year at most."

This year is the third year since the president won the election, and it is not long before the Chinese New Year.

Next year will be the fourth year, and it will also be a general election year.

According to the current public opinion support, there is basically no obstacle for Mr. President to be re-elected.

If it is said that the president needs to rely on more capital and external forces to win the election for the first time, then when he is re-elected, he will not need so many supporters if he has enough public support.

Having so few core supporters is enough to ensure that he can be re-elected.

The advantage of doing this is that he can transfer out all the people who were plugged in by the first batch of supporters, and replace them with real "own people" or people arranged in other ways.

It's a political payoff, why would a federal president look stupid in his first term?

Because the policies they want to release, or some ideas, are often interfered by some external factors.

Coupled with the fact that capitalists need returns, Mr. President must first satisfy the needs of these people, and then he can consider what he wants to do and what he can do.

Only after being re-elected, Mr. President's control over the federal government has been greatly improved. All departments and important positions are his own people, and the core capitalist team is also tied to his interests. At this time, the president's control over the federal government is Unprecedented power!

Just like the current Mr. President, if you want to arrange someone to take up some jobs in the Ministry of Justice, you need to consider the relationship between multiple parties.

But when he's re-elected, all he needs to do is sign it.

Whoever opposes him, get out!

Chrissy didn't quite know the relationship here, and her husband didn't know that much either.

In her opinion, this is the only thing her husband wants to talk to her, just like it has always been.

"I want to study with...professor, but he doesn't seem to want to choose me..."

"I'd like to start directly with the judges, but my mentor has a different view on this..."

"I want to be promoted, but my boss doesn't seem to care what I think..."

He always has all kinds of problems to solve by himself, and sometimes Chris will reflect on whether he is... a little too stupid, or... like his mother shuts everything down?
But that thought tended to fade from her mind very quickly, because now, this was her and her life, and she shouldn't be questioning it.

Questioning these is the biggest denial of her past, which is also what she fears the most.

I have come to this point, I can't tell myself that everything I did before was wrong, right?
That's not what her husband wanted, and he hesitated for a moment, considering how to speak.

"You know, I had an incident myself..."

He talked about himself and the gang family, but he slightly beautified his position in the whole thing, he didn't tell his wife, he told the woman that he would definitely be able to help the other party.

Nor did he tell his wife that he had a delicate relationship with that little woman.

In fact, the relationship between Ms. Chris and her husband is very strange, and it can be said to be twisted.

She helped her husband achieve unprecedented academic and professional success by sleeping with different characters, and it can be said that without her, her husband would not be able to reach the stage of state court justice.

She has slept with many men, but her husband has maintained a high degree of "purity" in this marriage relationship. To put it simply, they don't regard Chris's behavior as "derailment". In other words, it is a "betrayal" of marriage, which is just a means to seek more practical value.

Therefore, the marriage relationship between the two parties has not broken down, and no one has cheated or betrayed. He loves her deeply, and she loves him deeply. This is the core of their ability to maintain such a life and this way.

But if someone cheats, really cheats, then the relationship breaks down.

He knew this, so he didn't say that he had slept with the little woman a lot, only about money.

The other party just gave him tens of thousands of dollars at the beginning, hoping that he could move around and think of a solution to the case itself.

But later, without his knowledge, they sent him a lot of money, and now the other party says that if he can't handle these things, he will be paid high.

In the Commonwealth, crime on duty is a very serious crime.

Maybe job crimes won't have too long sentences, and it won't start for decades like murder, but that doesn't mean it's not a serious crime.

Most of those who were tried and sentenced for duty-related crimes find it difficult to find suitable jobs after release. This is the common will of the entire society.

Especially the middle and lower classes are extremely disgusted with the exchange of money and power. They don't know that this is just the norm in the upper class society.

But they just resent such behavior, and they will not give any chance to those who may have persecuted the people at the bottom of society. Those people can only work at the bottom of the society, which is also a kind of punishment.

If Kris's husband was accused, his life would be over.

She looked at her husband in the mirror and opened her mouth wide. After a while, she asked, "Don't we have any money?"

When he was working in the state court, his way of making money was no different from Bu Paine's, investing, or holding certain stocks, or creating a company by himself to get a small patent and then being acquired.

They may not be as rich as big capitalists, such as Lynch, but they are still richer than ordinary people.

In addition to all kinds of real estate, there are deposits of 80 million. In addition, both of them have their own jobs now and do not need to use this money, so they are not short of money at all.

She really couldn't figure out why her husband would be so stupid to do such a thing.

You obviously can't do it, but you have to promise, so that you are now facing a terrible situation.

The man remained silent, but Chris couldn't sit still, "Return the money to those people, and explain the matter clearly..."

She shook her husband and yelled loudly.

But all it got was silence.

After a burst of emotional outbursts, the room returned to calm.

"Sir, madam, dinner is ready..."

The voice of the maid outside the door made Chris feel extremely haggard. She couldn't say that she had been busy with her husband's affairs, at least she didn't talk less about it with Mr. President.

It is not easy to talk about this matter every time, and I have to play bowling with Mr. President.

The higher the status of the person, sometimes they... She doesn't know if this is abnormal, but the more disturbing it is.

She endured all of this, and now seeing that everything was about to get better, he made such a move, which almost made Chris collapse!
She can't ask Mr. President to release a group of criminals, can she?
This is simply impossible. Even if she has a relationship with Mr. President that goes beyond golf friends, she is also very clear about her position. It is impossible for her to make some excessive demands, and it is even less likely that she will be granted.

"Let's eat first..." the man said.

The husband and wife ate a dinner without "taste". After finishing the dinner in a hurry, they gave the maid a day off and then returned to the bedroom.

After a long silence, the man said, "Actually, I have a solution to solve the current trouble, but this matter... requires your cooperation."

Chris looked at her husband very resentfully, with anger in her eyes, blame, sigh, and some disgust, "Tell me, who am I going to sleep with again this time?"

She felt that if anything could solve the problem, without a doubt, it would be the "traditional way".

The man shook his head, "Do you know the Duncan family?"

Chris shook her head, "I don't know, I seem to have heard someone say it."

The man popularized the basic knowledge of the Duncan family for her, and then said, "They have encountered some troubles recently, and they have a relationship with Mr. President. They promised that as long as I can get the photo of you sleeping with Mr. President, they will not only help me solve the trouble , and will also help me sit on the position of lifelong justice..."

Chris looked at her husband in disbelief, "Are you crazy or am I crazy?"

"I'm your wife, do you understand?"

"I'm not one of your tools!"

The man frowned, "Is this any different from before?"

"No, no."

"To be honest, I'm very dissatisfied with that old man's perfunctory attitude towards us. Do the math yourself. It's been two years. Has he promised anything and achieved it?"

"no!"

"He never gave us a clear answer. He only came to you when he needed to vent. We should have gotten rid of him long ago."

"There is a good opportunity now, and the other party is very sincere, and directly promised us the position of a lifetime justice."

"At that time, you will be the wife of the chief justice for life. We have done the best we can. Isn't this better than being perfunctory by that old man now?"

This may be the dissatisfaction in the man's heart. Mr. President's lack of a clear answer has become an important factor that prompted him to make a decision.

Chris also fell into silence. From a certain point of view, the man was not wrong...

Whenever she talked about this matter, Mr. President would never give her a clear answer.

In an instant, she suddenly wasn't as dissatisfied as before...
