Chapter 2056

On the other side, O'Grain was in panic.

Maybe he actually knows what needs to be done in his heart, but his rationality is still in the final dying struggle.

He called Senator Langdon and told him about his conversation with Lynch.

Now the only one he can rely on is Senator Langdon.

If you don't even help yourself with this person, then you will die!

There was a kind of mournful request in his tone, as if he was asking for mercy.

After listening to what he said, Senator Langdon said pointedly, "Mr. Lynch does not lack your favor, but he lacks a friend who will do anything for him at any time."

"You also know how troublesome this matter of yours is, and we all know that."

"The only one who can help you now is Lynch. If you think it's just a favor, then you can find someone else to try."

"Sometimes, our patience is not much, maybe your hesitation now is pushing you into the abyss, my friend!"

Senator Langdon was also a little impatient, "You don't have much time left, either refuse or accept."

"The longer you delay, the more dangerous you are."

After hanging up the phone, O'Brien sat by the phone for a while.

He recalled the past.

Some people say that he is very arrogant, and he always gives people a feeling that... he seems to look down on others.

He knew that it wasn't arrogance, or rather it was his own arrogance, it was his pride—essentially a kind of inferiority arrogance.

As a "successful person" without a particularly prominent family background, he entered the Congress all the way by relying on his own efforts and management.

This made him feel unreal, because most of the people around him had prominent backgrounds.

Their fathers, family members, were once either governors, members of Congress, and even ancestors who were presidents.

And what about him?
An ordinary middle-class family may be called excellent in front of the bottom of society, but compared with the people here, it is far worse.

In addition, there are various gangs in Congress itself, and if you don't belong to any of them, it will be difficult to integrate into it!
It's like the York Gang, no one is invited, and no one can join in.

Everyone is a senator, why should I be inferior?
Why do I have to cater to others in order to get into other people's circles?
To O'Brien it was a blasphemy of all his past efforts, so he chose someone.

He insisted on his poor dignity in a way that seemed arrogant but actually inferior.

And now, dignity and survival, he must choose one.

On the one hand, it is a lifetime of hard work, and on the other hand, it is a moment of joy.

He patted his forehead and sighed. With this breath, the dignity he used to maintain was thrown to the ground, and his body was smashed to pieces.

Then he picked up the phone and dialed Lynch's number.

Luckily for him, Lynch had just arrived home.

"Mr. Lynch, I'm O'Grien, and I've already made up my mind."

"I am willing to serve you..."

When Lynch heard such a dialogue, he knew that this idiot had figured it out, and since he had figured it out, he was not an idiot.

"You are not serving anyone, we are a team, and being yourself is the best answer."

He paused as he said, "I have almost settled your matter, you can usually chat with Senator Langdon and the others more."

"They're different from what you know and other senators in Congress, and most of them don't have any particularly prominent backgrounds."

"Everything about us is based on our hands. We are a natural team."

"You have made a perfect choice, Senator O'Brien."

Lynch's words made O'Brien a little encouraged and moved, anyway, the emotions are very complicated now.

He thought about it carefully, indeed.

The core of the York Gang is Lynch and Senator Langdon, and these two people can almost be said to be representatives of the common people.

And especially Senator Langdon, he didn't inherit any political legacy at all, but he still climbed to such a high position.

Some people say that he relied on Lynch, but what happened behind Lynch?
Isn't there anyone?

Sure enough, they should be in the same group, because they can only rely on themselves.

But now, they can rely on each other.

"I know what to do, Mr. Lynch."

Lynch seemed to have remembered something, "By the way, ask Senator Langdon to give you your share later. Don't refuse, it's all legal..."

A little later, O'Brien found Senator Langdon, who had already made preparations and gave him a subscription letter.

"This is a subscription agreement for financial commodities, more generally speaking, it is like a bond."

"You don't need to pay anything, about 25 will be transferred to your account every quarter."

"Because you just came here, you can't get much. After a few years, you can get up to 40 to 50 a quarter."

O'Brien was silent for a while and signed the subscription form.

He actually has a little money, but not much, and his popularity is not very good. When there is a "good deal", it is basically not his turn.

Only those businesses worth [-] to [-] yuan, or more than [-] yuan and some risks, would come to him.

He dare not accept anything, and his current annual income is only 30 to [-] yuan.

Of course, this is for a person with the status of a senator in Congress, two to three million a year, which is really not much.

Many senators, especially those on important institutional committees, can easily make an additional income of 500 million a year.

Even the military expenses, they dare to spend a fortune, one can imagine how rich they are.

O'Brien knew about it before, but he didn't know about it in detail. Sometimes he would be a little envious, but most of the time he remained silent.

He once thought that his personality would not allow him to accept such a depraved thing, and that his ability to accept ordinary unspoken rules was already the limit.

But at this moment, he just wanted to say, it's nice to have money.

The income has doubled, no longer worry about being "eliminated", and I have my own "ally" in Congress. Is there anything more gratifying than this?
O'Brien signed the subscription form and gave Senator Langdon his bank account number.

After hesitating for a few seconds, "Will you go fishing on weekends?"

As he spoke, he added, "Call everyone!"

If he wanted to integrate into this small group, he naturally had to establish a good relationship with other people first.

Senator Langdon kept his initial smile and nodded briskly, "No problem, but we have a lot of people, you have to be mentally prepared."

O'Brien, who seemed to have completely let go, was no longer restrained, "It doesn't matter, the more people the better, this can prove that we are very strong!"

"I like your choice of words, O'Brien."

O'Brien also replied with a smile, "You can call me Aoun, that's what my family calls me..."

Sometimes people are very afraid of taking the first step, because changing themselves and changing the world often requires great courage.

But after taking the first step, you will find that changing is not so difficult, let alone painful!
At a later date, Senator Langdon called Lynch and told him that there was another member of the York Gang.

In fact, Senator Langdon knew much better about O'Brien's situation than Lynch, but he still decided to recruit this guy.

What they need is a seat and influence. It doesn't matter whether the seat is an excellent senator or a pig.

Lynch expressed his satisfaction that O'Brien could quickly and actively integrate into this small group. As for fishing, he would not go.

Don't expect him to fish all day until at least 60!

When talking to Gladstone about some of the changes in Marillo, Lynch had realized that it was time to find some new partners and spokespersons.

In fact, that young man is a good choice, but everyone's eyes are focused on him, so it's not easy to deal with.

And those local militants that Lynch used before have been quietly cleaned up.

Whether it's Sanchez, or his damn sister.

He had to use the young man's wedding to find a reliable person for himself. Even if the governor of only one state turned to him, this would still be at least two Senate seats.

Including the current ones, he has a firm hold on seven seats. If there are two more, the York Gang will become an unavoidable part of the Senate.

Meanwhile, the ex-Mr. President's expression is not so good.

After the "scandal" broke out, he was able to land safely, which shows that even his "enemies" are willing to give him a chance to exit with dignity.

This also means that he has good popularity in the federation.

Yeah, can it be bad?

Easy to be persuaded, doesn't seem to have any assertiveness, always smiles at everyone, and sometimes looks a little confused.

Polite, without airs, with a prominent background and good upbringing, even his enemies are willing to reserve the last decency for him.

How could such a person not be popular?
Good popularity also means that he needs to maintain these relationships, and the benefits of maintaining these relationships are obvious.

For example, the capitalists spent seven figures for him to talk to Mr. Truman, without any results, just a talk.

Not only did he give him a seven-figure reward, but he also promised to owe him a favor.

How can you justify this kind of thing?
He is popular, rich, and able to maintain it. Naturally, some people are willing to maintain friendship with him, at least occasionally saying hello or something.

Someone passed him word that someone was investigating him and his wife.

And his accountant who disappeared suddenly may also have a direct relationship with these investigations.

This frightened and angered the good old Mr. President!
His accountant knew a lot of things that he couldn't disclose, but he was gone now, and he didn't know if he was dead or robbed.

What's more terrible is that those who are hiding in the dark are investigating themselves.

What the hell are they trying to do!
　It developed rapidly, and I still had a cough before. After Chapter 1, I suddenly developed fever in the eye sockets, sore joints in the lower limbs, and started to have a fever.

Everything came unexpectedly.I thought I was asymptomatic, reality taught me to be human.

I can't guarantee the update in the next few days, but as long as the person is not dead and can still code, try to code as much as possible.

I really can’t figure it out and I hope everyone can forgive me.
