Chapter 177 A Heavy Rain

In September, the weather is not so dry. Although it is still a little hot, there is a chill in the wind.

Two new branches have been established in succession and have achieved good transaction volume. Lynch has already started ordering Richard to prepare for the auction of second-hand goods in the capital of the state. As the Interstellar Trading Company gradually appears more frequently in people's eyes , Lynch gained a lot of wealth and prestige.

"Adelaide is the governor's chief of staff and also a relative of the governor..."

Sitting in the car belonging to the mayor, the mayor is explaining to Lynch about the situation of the person they are going to meet next, and by the way, he will also explain to Lynch some things to pay attention to.

The better Lynch's business is, the more successful the mayor's policy will be.

The more successful the mayor's policies, the more status he has within the state's Progressive Party, and it has been suggested that he may have a chance to run for governor.

This kind of opportunity is not available to every mayor, and it is impossible for the vast majority of mayors to get such an opportunity. They have a high probability of working as state councilors or congressmen until retirement, and some people even earn money from these. No, you can only mix up a party position.

Pushing a politician to run for governor is not an easy task and costs countless resources, so except for those who are sure, whether it is the progressive party or the conservative party, or it is always forgotten by people No Socialist Party would consider electing someone else for election.

The mayor may get this opportunity, but the premise is that some of the policies, ideas and practices he promotes can really and effectively make Sabine and the state better than others in the face of economic difficulties, and at the same time His policies must also be able to lead the movement of the entire Federation.

Only in this way can his huge reputation and appearance rate make up for his most important shortcoming - he is not a member of the Holy Peace Society!

So now he relies heavily on Lynch, and the two of them sat in his car to attend a small exchange meeting, which was held by Adelaide, the governor's chief of staff.

It's not just the city of Sabine that's facing the same problems that they've had in the entire state, it's all cities, and the governor's staff is going to work, they're looking around for solutions, and they're trying to find some of them that might work.

Why they didn't do it before, it's because they trusted their head to come up with a suitable solution.

Why they do it now is because they found that their brains are not as good as they thought.

Letting Adelaide go to Sabine City was also ordered by the governor behind the scenes. At least the auction of second-hand goods promoted in Sabine City has proved to be a good policy-there is a professional investigation agency behind it to conduct a questionnaire survey.

People often see some people doing surveys on the street with questionnaires, and there will be small gifts for answering the questions. These are the activists of professional survey agencies. Each street questionnaire is worth at least [-] cents, and more than one or two yuan (when targeting different groups of people).

So the governor wanted to know if the mayor of Sabine or his little friend Lynch had any other more constructive ideas.

"... Adelaide was born in a saintly family. He has firm beliefs, although he often does things without faith!", the mayor made a small sarcasm casually, and it can be seen that he is very fond of Adelaide Ryder doesn't have a cold.

After the sarcasm, the mayor's tone became slightly lower, "This is a very cunning man, he has the appearance of a priest, but don't be deceived by his appearance, he is just a cunning fox. "

Lynch found it very interesting, "No offense, is it between you...", he shrugged his shoulders and made small movements in his hands to let the mayor understand what he meant.

The mayor admitted it with some embarrassment. This is the role of "value". Lynch has this value, so they will be very close, and some more personal topics can be discussed.

But if one day Lynch is worthless, they will be like strangers outside the car window, obviously they can see each other, but no one is looking at the other.

"He once suggested that I skip my current job and go directly to the state senate as a member. These are not out of any pertinent suggestions. He just wants his nephew to do my current job!"

The mayor said with a smile on his face, "But I won this game!"

He didn't talk about the cost of winning the game, which must have been very heavy.

He said some of Adelaide's habits and details, and repeatedly told Lynch not to believe that bastard's nonsense, he is a liar.

In fact, everyone is a liar, but some people are still a little naive, and some people have deceived themselves, and those who are not up or down are still struggling.

The venue of this exchange meeting was set at a manor on the outskirts of Sabine City. The owner of the manor was Mr. Green, a member of the Progressive Party of a state senator. When Adelaide was coming to Sabine City, he took the initiative took the job.

When the car was about to arrive at the manor, it suddenly rained heavily. The sudden heavy rain lowered the temperature a bit, and it also made Lynch, who was dressed up to attend, feel a little cool.

In fact, his back is almost wet with sweat, but in order to ensure that the wearer will not lose face due to sweat, they will do some "hands and feet" on the pony clip, and the wet one will always be the pony clip, but Will not affect the dress.

This timely rain made the air clean. Of course, the driver's experience may not be so good. Everything in the rain has become slightly blurred, and the speed of the car has slowed down a lot.

About ten minutes after the scheduled arrival time, the two arrived at the manor. The butler of the manor immediately asked the two guests, namely Lynch and Mayor Langdon, to take their two guests to their own guest room for a refreshment. By the way, they reminded each other , Because of the heavy rain, the exchange meeting was postponed until 40:[-] p.m., and they still had about [-] minutes to rest.

The unplanned heavy rain may make them a little embarrassed, so this time is not really for them to rest and sleep, but for them to solve some problems that they need to solve.

For example, if the clothes are wet, there are special servants in the manor who can help the guests dry the clothes.

For example, the leather shoes were stained with a lot of mud, and the servants could quickly help them deal with it.

Even the mason stains on the socks and the not-so-clean cuffs can all be fixed before the meeting starts.

In fact, even if these problems are not solved, no one will say anything, and no one will sing in front of people in an opera-like tone, "Aha, look at that idiot's ass, is it mud or shit?"

But people always want to protect their face, especially in some important occasions.

After Lynch and the maid arrived at the guest room, the maid asked if he needed to clean some of his clothes. Lynch thought about it and took off his dress to look. There was no dust or rain on it, but it was his. There is some dampness at the bottom of the trousers, but it is not noticeable.

He changed a pair of shoes and asked the maid to help him clean up the splashed mud on the leather shoes, then sat in the room enjoying some snacks, some mellow coffee, and some newspapers.

After more than ten minutes, his leather shoes were sent back. The servants wiped off the dust on them, re-oiled them, and polished them with lambskin to make them look like new.

For the rest of the time, Lynch was reading newspapers or watching TV. It was after eight o'clock when the ratings of TV programs peaked. Many people would choose to lie on the sofa at this time and eat cheap food full of fat and sugar. Good things, the pursuit of rare spiritual enjoyment.

Lynch flipped through a few channels casually, and there was not much content related to the current situation. On the contrary, several institutional sections on the "Trading News" unanimously increased the exchange risks of various war bonds, and the situation worsened. Very fast.

Many people may feel that since they did not buy war bonds, this matter has nothing to do with them. It is obviously not wrong to treat these matters as isolated matters.

But the question is how many isolated events exist in this world, and how many isolated events can be truly completely isolated?

Hard!

Lynch walked to the window, and the earth and sky in the distance were mixed together. In the heavy rain, it was hard to tell which was the sky and which was the ground. They were all pitch black, swallowing all the light.

At [-]:[-], the housekeeper knocked on the door in person, reminding Lynch that the exchange meeting would be held in the conference room of the manor later, and arranged for a special person to lead Lynch there.

While walking through the long corridor, Lynch noticed some oil paintings hanging on the walls of the corridor. He didn't know much about oil paintings, but he could tell that these oil paintings were not cheap.

Art is resonant because real art itself is an expression of emotion.

It can be seen that Congressman Green is not just a simple congressman, he is also very rich.

In the conference room, after Lynch greeted the mayor, the two sat in the first row, because today they were the protagonists among the protagonists.

At 59:[-], very punctual, when the second slipped past [-] seconds and the minute hand moved forward a little, the door of the meeting room opened again, and a smiling man with silver hair came in from outside the room.

Dressed in relatively modest clothes, he looks more sensually a teacher than a politician, without much in common.

One is teaching and educating people, telling people the necessity of pursuing the truth and teaching them the methods.

One is to play tricks and make up as many stories as possible to satisfy one's own interests.

But they are contradictoryly integrated in this person. Mr. Adelaide is just like the mayor said, like a pastor, or a teacher, who can make people relax their vigilance.
