Chapter 2398

In the office, Gladstone signed the document and handed it to the secretary, then pushed the table.

As the chair with pulleys moved him backwards, he also turned around, faced the window, and took out a cigarette.

There is a breeze blowing outside the window, and there is an imperceptible but definitely present in the air, the ultimate amorous feelings belonging to this era!

It’s hard to describe this feeling, it’s like waking up and going back to that summer of youth, wearing leather sandals and walking on the streets in the hot summer.

A wave of flames blows along with the smell that can only be found in nostalgic old records, and every pore is swollen from the inside out!
The style of an era!

People in this era may not feel it, but in the future, when he thinks back, there will be a kind of shock, nostalgia, and yearning that cannot be described in words!

The metal reed of the lighter vibrated with a "ding", the sound was long and full of charm.

Ever since Lynch started appearing frequently in front of the media, some of his favorite things have become trendy.

The trend of the federation...it's actually that simple, people worship the rich, and naturally they are willing to use what the rich use.

The Longsheng lighter, driven by Lynch, is becoming a lighter favored by the federal upper class.

Its very charming vibrato has even evolved into many types!
Just so suddenly, all of a sudden, people started liking it.

The lighter in Gladstone's hand costs more than 2000 yuan, which belongs to the middle and low-end lighters.

He could actually use a better one, seven to eight thousand or tens of thousands, but he is a "public figure" and people don't want power and wealth to have no boundaries, so he uses a mid- to low-end one, which is enough.

It will be a bit troublesome if you use a better one.

After Connor came to power, the voices of opposition within the Progressive Party became much smaller, and Gladstone successfully demonstrated his ability to those who were not convinced.

He can also run the president to power, so his chairmanship of the committee is not a disaster for the Progressive Party.

On the contrary, it is the beginning of the Progressive Party's long-term ruling!
The only thing that made him uncomfortable was that Connor was not close to him after he took the stage, but he was very close to Lynch.

It made him... a little uncomfortable.

Although Lynch did help Connor a lot during his campaign, but...

Gladstone does not think that Connor and Lynch are getting close, and it is his own problem to "break up" with himself.

Although he admits that he is very strict about some things, it is all for the good of everyone, not for himself.

Smoking a cigarette, thinking about a lot of things that have nothing to do, the Progressive Party has been in power for at least four years, and it may be eight years.

The role and importance of the Progressive Party in the Federation is also dominant. It is no exaggeration to say that the era of the Progressive Party has arrived!
As chairman of the Progressive Party committee, Gladstone already had big plans in mind.

The first thing is to find another office building.

The current office building of the Progressive Party is still an old building, only a few floors high, although it seems to have certain traces of history.

Moreover, the Conservative Party office building is not far away, and it happens to be on both sides of the road. Many people think that this is a more specific "opposite image" of the federal political arena.

But Gladstone doesn't like this old building very much. Although it has many good things in people's eyes, he just doesn't like it.

It's too old and not atmospheric enough.

Someone has donated a sum of money, willing to build a new office building for the Progressive Party, and there are plans to build at least fifteen floors or more.

The key is free!
Once he goes to the new office building, his traces will be completely imprinted in the genes of the Progressive Party.

When people talk about the new Progressive House in the future, they can't help but think of the chairman of the committee who made it happen!

Thinking of this, the corners of Gladstone's mouth twitched slightly, and the good news came one after another, and Connor could no longer annoy him.

After smoking the cigarette, he sighed deeply, and then went back to work.

By one o'clock, the morning work is almost over.

Normally, he would probably eat a sandwich, drink a cup of coffee, and sleep in the lounge at the back of the office.

But today, he had to go out to meet someone.

An old man".

The place where the two met was in a park near the outer ring in the middle ring. There are usually not many people in the park, and there are many homeless people gathered here, basically no one comes.

Beside a deck chair in the park, Gladstone met the person he was going to meet this time, an elderly Progressive Party member who was "transferred to provide for the elderly" by him.

This old guy was the former chairman of the committee, and he was quickly "cleaned" by Gladstone after the short old man left.

Gladstone found a reason to believe that he was using his position in the party to benefit himself, not just wealth, but also arranged for some people to enter government units.

The pair got into an argument and he was suspended while the Progress Party's internal office launched an investigation.

Although nothing was investigated, he was also transferred to the consultant's office.

Not only did the salary not decrease, but it increased by more than 100 yuan.

But his power is almost completely gone.

It's just that what people don't know is that this is actually just... a performance, a transaction!
At the cost of "sadly obeying orders and leaving his job", the old man obtained some promises and deals from Gladstone, including a better start for his nephew and greater wealth.

But outsiders don't know, they always think that the two are hostile.

Only they themselves understand that one offer is too much to be refused.

One is very smart, knowing that the times have changed, he voluntarily gave up power in exchange for benefits.

The old man sometimes gave Gladstone some news.

This time, he called Gladstone and said he had important news for him.

"Although it's very remote here, I don't want us to stay too long. I don't care if someone finds out. It's definitely not something interesting for you."

Gladstone has been watching the surrounding situation. This old guy is still useful to him, and he doesn't want to expose him for the time being.

The old man laughed softly, and instead of talking about the topic that Gladstone cared about, he talked about his son, "...he plans to try to win the state legislature next year, but we are not very sure."

"You know, for an old guy like me, they don't really sell my face. Even if I take the initiative to call, I can only embarrass myself."

On the surface, the election of members of the District House is also a direct election. According to the size, geographical environment and population density of the state, different numbers of state members are directly elected.

But what to say about this kind of thing?

Seemingly fair, there is no direct election that can be cheated, and there are still many ways to intervene.

In the eyes of the people, each regional councilor is elected by themselves, but in the eyes of the big shots, they have a list before the election of state councilors begins.

Of course, this list only serves as a "reference"!
With Gladstone's current energy, it is not a big problem to determine the ownership of a district councilor, but he does not want to make a "deal" so easily.

He stood up suddenly, which made the old man sitting at the other end of the bench look at him inexplicably.

"If you think you have a way to blackmail me and make me agree to all your conditions, then you must have guessed the most important point wrong!"

He looked at the other party, "That's why you think I will definitely agree."

"You're not the only one who knows the truth, and I don't like what you're doing."

"If you don't want to say it, I think I can go back, you wasted my time at noon!"

The old man didn't expect Gladstone to act so strong, maybe he thought his power was solid?
There was a hint of sarcasm on the old man's face, but he quickly recovered his expression.

Gladstone could leave him, but he couldn't leave Gladstone's help.

"Your temper is still so bad, I'll take it as you agreed to my request."

"He... intends to get you out of power."

Gladstone sneered, "Him?"

"Which him?"

Since he came to power, there are countless people who intend to get him out of power, but he is still the chairman of the Progressive Party Committee today.

Those who had such plans have disappeared from the Progressive Party.

He is not afraid of any challengers, and he already has the Progressive Party in his hands, with almost all of his own in key positions.

As long as these people don't oppose him, the Progressive Party cannot lose control!

The old man was not in a hurry, and said with a smile, "Of course it is your teacher, the former Chairman of the Progressive Party Committee."

"He contacted me and asked me to take his side and publicly express my displeasure with you if necessary."

"Gladstone, you're in trouble!"

The old man approached him and put one hand on his back, "Don't forget what you promised me, I believe you can get through this difficult time!"

After speaking, the old man left quickly.

Gladstone's expression changed again and again, and he thought of many people.

He has offended many people, in order to stabilize his power in the past two years.

But what he didn't expect was that the person who planned to let him step down was the one who promoted him to this position!

Even the reason why he did this, Gladstone has roughly guessed——

He sent some old people to retire!

But don't they understand?
An era is over!

It has ended!
Now is his time, belongs to his time!
No one can take everything here from him, whether it is his enemy, friend, or partner.

Still his teacher!

both are not!
He turned and walked towards the car parked on the side of the road. Since they want to take him down, let them try!

He didn't believe that he would be brought down, nor did he believe that they had such ability!
