"It doesn't count this time, the result is too small..."

"This time it's pretty good, barely okay..."

"I can't always make it happen again, so let's do it this time!"

Sometimes the rolls of the dice were so small that Connor would be gracious not to count the roll as an attempt, feeling that those small numbers were unfair to those people.

If only the big numbers were kept, and no one was clearly ahead of the others, Connor felt that it would be obviously unfair to choose the one with the highest value.

Because others may be only two or three points behind him, this is not a distance that cannot be made up, and the next throw will definitely be different.

Finally, after re-rolling several times, he tore the paper recording the points into shreds.

"This time, I will never do it again. Whatever I throw out will be the same!"

He started throwing the dice seriously, but everyone has their own preferences. No one can be absolutely fair. No one has ever been able to do this!
After the "last" throw, Connor felt that he should throw another round to make "fate" more fair, and then there was the third round, the fourth round, and... the final round.

"This is my last round, no matter what, I can't add more!"

He made up his mind and started throwing with his eyes closed. It didn't take long to throw seven times.

This is not one of those bizarre TV shows where a few seconds can drag on an entire episode, and a few months can drag on for years.

It's just grabbing the dice in your hand and throwing it out, it's that simple!
Those dice will not keep spinning in place, they will jump to a complete stop after a few jumps.

At the end of the last round, Connor was immediately satisfied when he saw that the name of the winner was not the one he hated.

He tore the paper that recorded the points into pieces again, then picked up the phone and pressed the secretary's button, "Bring over the file of..., the one I just read a few days ago."

Not long after, the secretary sent over a candidate’s thick portfolio.

It contains various records of this candidate since middle school, including his grades, his hobbies, his communication level, etc. Everything that can be recorded and is worth recording.

Things like the fact that he made a classmate pregnant in high school would definitely not be recorded in the file. Even if someone did that, it would eventually be erased.

For a political family, it is easy to get a perfect "answer sheet"!
After reading the files and remembering some of the things he could say, Connor took out an official document appointing the governor and filled in the man's name under the line "Appointed _______ as..." .

Use a more formal and comprehensive title, full name.

Then at the end of the document, underlined, he signed his name.

So far, the governors of the three states of Nagalir have been settled.

Connor is very satisfied with this gubernatorial campaign. He has received a lot of benefits, not just in terms of money.

In a short time, he and his family will not be short of money, what they get is connections.

In a society as free-spirited as the Federation, people would hardly admit "I owe you", which sounds... a bit incredible.

In fact it is!
Lynch helped Connor many times, but Connor only vaguely admitted twice that he owed Lynch a favor.

More often than not, he just thanked Lynch, rather than admitting that he owed Lynch a favor.

It's not that the relationship between the two is good enough to avoid formally acknowledging this fact, but in a liberalized society, it will be very troublesome to admit that you owe others.

Because you don’t know when or on what issue the other party will ask you to pay off the debt you owe!
No one knows, can’t guess, and doesn’t dare to let it go!
So even if someone does help Connor, Connor will not admit "I owe you a favor." He will only say thank you, making it look more like a transaction or unilateral free help.

And these people have made it clear that they owe him a favor, no matter at any time or for any problem, as long as he says "Hey, it's your turn to return the favor to me."

Even if Connor's appeal was completely opposite to their position, they could only stand by Connor's side with curses.

Because these are the rules of the game, you can cheat, but the consequences of cheating are often something people cannot afford.

With money and a few favors, Connor made a lot of money!
Later, people from the press office of the Federal Presidential Palace explained to the outside world the results of the gubernatorial elections in the three states of Nagali. Some were happy, while others were disappointed.

In an instant, the federal phone line experienced a brief glitch, and dialing numbers often failed to go out.

Too many people have to pass on information at this time. They need to let the people in Slem know as soon as possible that this game is over!
After the results were announced, Connor himself seemed very relaxed. He found a few people and made an appointment to play golf together.

Although the president's life is boring and monotonous, he can always find some time to relax.

The best grass, the best clubs, the best balls.

There are holes.

When the news reached Slem, it actually had little impact on the city. The gubernatorial campaign was over, and the Department of Social Services and the Department of Environmental Health began cleaning up the various trash left over from the campaign.

Like pasted posters, balloons, scraps of paper on the ground...

It is said that some people have printed their faces on condoms, and the condoms have been used... Maybe this is the "sense of participation" that the federal people love, no matter what, we are all together!
Lynch also knew the result immediately. There was no doubt that it was not anyone he guessed. Connor's choice went against his code of conduct.

Connor is not a refined egoist and does not choose the option that is best for him on every issue.

In other words, he can actually maintain a neutral attitude most of the time, which is rare.

The more such a person is, the more he has a code of conduct, a habit, and a logic.

In the past, Lynch often came into contact with these when analyzing customer groups. You have to figure out when and why your customers will transfer money into your account.

Otherwise, this is a coincidence and luck that cannot be replicated, and is not suitable for doubling and expanding wealth as quickly as the self-replication of a virus.

Connor has been dismantled by Lynch so that there are no secrets, so Lynch believes that this may be the result of drawing lots or throwing dice.

At least, not the result of his careful consideration.

The victorious governor has already started celebrating at the Lynch Center Hotel. After all, it is the most luxurious, largest and best-located super-large resort hotel in Slem.

Right in the heart of downtown!
Unlike the losers who sadly packed up their things and prepared to return to the federal homeland, the winner's champagne had already been sprayed to the ceiling!
All participants are cheering for victory, cheering for power, and cheering for wealth!
20 billion in annual tax revenue... This money is so damn easy to get your hands on!

The governor also invited Lynch, but Lynch declined. Since he chose to let go and not participate in the election here, he will definitely do it thoroughly.

He will not let people think that he has interfered in the outcome of the election. The best way is not to appear at the celebration ceremony.

Just like when Lynch attended the celebration ceremony of President Bowling, he was labeled as one of the Bowling Presidents.

His current status and status are different from those in the past. If he goes, he will only mess up the original matter.

But it wouldn't do without congratulations, so he picked up the phone.

On the other side, the new governor, who has taken off his suit, torn off his tie, and rolled up his shirt sleeves, is laughing and chatting with the guests.

He was so happy and excited that he was in a state of excitement after knowing the result.

Excited, hot, sweaty, but happy!
Just as he was chatting with a group of people about his next thoughts, suddenly, his butler walked into the celebration scene with a ringing landline phone.

The slightly harsh ringing of the phone silenced the celebration scene for an instant. People were a little surprised or looked at the still ringing phone thoughtfully.

The butler said in a voice that was not very loud, but loud enough for many people to hear, "Sir, it's Mr. Lynch's phone number."

The governor was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately. He made a silencing gesture, "Yes, we talked before, and he said he would call me at this time."

"Sorry, everyone, I'll take Mr. Lynch's call."

In fact, he doesn't have to do this, but it is very necessary for him to do it!

There is no need to do this because he is an important official of the federal government and the actual ruler of the state government.

According to medieval parlance, he is now equivalent to the grand duke of a principality, with a status second only to the emperor.

Even the federal president or members of Congress are equal before him.

When they encounter those with bad tempers, they even dare to confront them directly without giving face to the President or Congress!
It is necessary because this is Slem, Lynch's Slem, not the federal government's Slem.

While everyone knew it was under federal jurisdiction, it was also known that no one could work here without Lynch's support.

Everyone shut their mouths, and even the orchestra stopped under the conductor's voice.

The governor raised the receiver and said with a smile, "Mr. Lynch, it's me,... (his name), I'm very happy to be able to share my happiness with you at this important moment."

"You should really come here..."

"Yes, yes, I understand..."

"I know very well what you said. Although I was not born here, this is like my second home..."

"Yes, you are right, you will see the results soon."

"Okay, also wish you have a nice day, see you later, bye!"

The governor hung up the phone and asked the butler to take it away. He looked at the people around him with a very obvious smile on his face that he wanted people to see.

"Mr. Lynch congratulated me on my victory and invited me to come and chat with him tomorrow..."

The quiet crowd suddenly became lively again!
