Chapter 2400

The old man felt very ridiculous.

It was so funny that he obviously wanted to laugh out loud, but for some reason, he only felt sad.

This, presumably, is politics, and its immediacy.

When he has the power in his hands, all bring out the best in them.

Gladstone is a humble "student", he has an excellent family background, outstanding personal ability, and has some unique political opinions of his own.

And those political allies revolved around him.

They will firmly and never question to carry out all the tasks he ordered, and show their hearts to him from time to time.

Sometimes recalling that time in the past, he felt that he was a "god" in a certain way.

Because in the political field, his role and what he can do are similar to "gods"!

But at this moment, when he lost power, Gladstone showed his minions, and those close allies who surrounded him also betrayed their friendship.

Countless memories flashed crazily in his mind like the water of a waterfall, and he thought of a conversation he had with a capitalist.

The capitalists found him, hoping that he could help them regain what they had lost in business competition.

wealth.

At that time, the old man asked the capitalist a question, "Is wealth really so important?"

He still remembers his tone at that time, he was sitting behind the table, holding the teacup dog who was not dead in his arms, and scratching the back of its head with his hand, "Think about your family, think about others, and you will find, There are many things that deserve your attention more than wealth!"

He rejected the guy who was fascinated by wealth, of course not because he was unwilling to help, but because he couldn't get what he wanted in return, so he refused.

Now he finds it very funny, because the scene at that time seems to be directly applicable to this moment.

He asked himself, "Is power really that important?"

"Why don't you think about your family, why don't you think about your own life?"

"There are so many things more important than power, why only think about power and not others?"

He was lost in thought, holding the receiver of the phone.

He thought of his family members and his recent leisurely life. In fact, losing power would not change his life and everything at all for him now!
but!
He clenched the phone receiver in his hand, the feeling after losing his power was really bad!

Even if everything is false, he still hopes that he can hold power!

"Lynch, I need your help." His tone changed slightly, and it could be heard that his emotions and mentality seemed to have changed.

Lynch said softly, "Of course, we are friends, what do you want?"

Help is definitely not free. Lynch understands this truth, and the old man also understands this truth, especially at this time.

He thought for a while, "Send more people to protect me. In addition, I may need a lot of money."

He was actually afraid that Gladstone would run over and kill him. This was the easiest way, and it was also very effective.

No one would offend the current Chairman of the Progressive Party Committee for a dead person, and he also believed that Gladstone would protect himself.

As for money, the most touching thing in the federation is money.

And he has not only money, but also some promises, and the goodwill of the future Progressive Party committee chairman!
These requests seemed like nothing to Lynch, and he immediately agreed.

"Tomorrow, there will be an elite team of about 50 people to provide you with a full range of security services. In addition, I will give you an account with 2000 million in it, is it enough?"

2000 million.

He can actually give more, but this amount is enough, and there is no need to give more, this money is only used to deal with some greedy people.

Not everyone is that greedy, and not everyone is greedy for money.

The old man was very satisfied, "I don't even know how to thank you. When these things are over, I must treat you to a big meal!"

After hanging up the phone, the old man began to think about who could take over from Gladstone, or take his place again.

His own sons, nephews, grandchildren were no outstanding candidates.

In fact, from a certain point of view, Gladstone is a very qualified political heir, because he is ruthless and changeable.

But he used ruthlessness and changeability in the wrong place. If the old man died, or those old guys had retired, and he became ruthless again, the old man would not say anything.

But the old man couldn't accept that he did this just after he came to power, although he also knew that Gladstone had actually done a good job.

This is a very contradictory question, like "We are hanging on a rope, and now the rope is about to break, just let me fall and you will be rescued, if you don't, we will die together" such a problem.

Intellectually speaking, "giving up" is the most appropriate ending, and even those who have been abandoned will think that giving up on themselves is the best result.

But when the person above really did this, his sanity would disappear!

The people below will think of how good they are to the people above, and now he has given up on himself without hesitation, how rational he was before, how much he will hate now!

He suddenly needs to find a suitable "heir", which is really not an easy task. In the past, he hardly paid attention to whether there were other suitable candidates.

Because Gladstone is really good and loyal to him.

Many names flashed through his mind, but most were rejected.

Old people, too old is not suitable.

For example, those of his age will retire within a few years.

It doesn't matter if you are too young. Without certain political achievements, you can't suppress those clowns in the party.

40 to 50 years old, able to maintain power for at least 15 years, such a person...

Many people's faces flashed in his mind again, and people's faces kept disappearing from his mind, all of which were eliminated by him.

In the end, there were not many people left!

As for the rest, there were only three people who met all his requirements.

One is the former chief executive of the Development Office, a lady. Although she doesn't have any outstanding achievements, she is very popular in the party.

With a foundation, it will be easy to climb up, but the shortcomings are also obvious.

She doesn't have any outstanding achievements in politics, and she is not strong enough, otherwise she would not be easily eliminated by Gladstone, and it is very risky for her to come to power.

The situation of the other two people is similar. They have always been middle-level cadres in the party, and they must have a certain foundation, but they may not be able to control them if they are given such great power!
Power is not for everyone.

Some people have gained power and can become a remarkable existence in the history books.

But there are also some people who, after gaining power, are just buffoons in the history books!
Meanwhile, on the other side of town, the professor has just returned home.

The professor is single, married, but divorced, and has no children.

A small businessman, he took a fancy to her "status" and had a wife of a high intellectual, which was of great help to him entering the upper class.

Later, the professor found out that he had mistresses outside, and more than one, and they divorced after a big fight.

She got a property of about 70 and is single until now.

Being single has the advantages of being single. For example, she sometimes finds some young guys to have fun. If she is married, she will not be able to enjoy such fun.

No one will tell her what to do, she can do whatever she wants.

I just took off my coat and sat on the sofa, thinking about going out for a walk on the weekend, when the phone rang.

Private telephones are a "special resource" in the Federation. There are probably less than ten people in the regional council who can call her home.

Those who can call her in private time are usually people who are very close.

This is also a very... special manifestation of the federal society. People exchange business cards, or exchange phone numbers, which are often the contact information of public officials.

Only when the relationship is further advanced, will the private phone call be left.

"Here is...", she tilted her head, holding the phone between her hands, and turned on the TV.

The TV was playing "Lucky Kid," or "Lucky Stupid," on a [-]/[-] roll.

It's a TV show with local ties, a sitcom about a young country guy who's sensual in Salem.

The protagonist is lucky enough to win money no matter what game he plays.

A rich, lucky country boy, and a series of funny stories triggered by the collision of this metropolis.

The script is very good. To put it bluntly, it is the playboy life of a very obscene low-level teenager, which is very attractive!

And his way of success is at Slem's gaming table. This is actually a TV series that promotes Slem Casino and various gambling games, but the ratings are very high.

After all, the vast majority of tourists who come here hope that they can become that lucky boy. It is said that some people say that after watching the lucky boy every day and then going to the casino, the probability of winning money will be higher than not watching it...

Before the professor could concentrate, the familiar voice from the receiver made her body tremble slightly, and then she held the receiver with both hands.

"Any orders, Mr. Lynch?"

Three men played very special roles in the professor's life.

One is her father. When she was young, her father was willing to take out a loan to let her go to college, which is almost impossible for other families.

Because she is a girl.

The second guy is her ex-husband. He gave the professor a good living environment. He doesn’t need to worry about money, even after divorce, he doesn’t need to think about financial issues. Although it’s impossible to want, a carefree life is enough up.

And the third person is Lynch...
