Chapter 1608 Normal Social Interaction
In fact, many people are wondering why those big shots, well-known big shots, are always pursuing peace.
Isn't peace... something easily available?
This may be because they don't really understand the people in the upper class and what happens to them.
It is a mistake to think that everyone is human, so... their needs should be roughly the same.
But, it's really different.
As soon as Lynch got home after a meeting at the Department of Defense, the maid told Lynch that Governor Tracy had called him and hoped that he would call back as soon as possible.
The little maid's attitude was a bit strange. Lin Qi glanced at her and then at the little maid standing aside, seeming to understand something.
For a period of time, the purpose of the little maid bringing her cousin over was to win over the job on her behalf. She did not naively want to win over Lynch, she just wanted to stabilize the job.
For this reason, she even pushed her little cousin into the fire pit.
Of course, this may be her own idea, but this kind of thing is a bit sorry for her little cousin.
But she suddenly discovered that some things didn't seem to need other people to take over. When her little cousin's existence not only could not help her, but might become a threat to herself, her attitude changed.
Everything started from that night.
Lin Qi didn't pay much attention to the changes in the little maid, just like you don't care whether the cat that walks by you and rubs against your leg is a sign of flattery or simply wants to leave a scent.
They should handle these matters themselves.
Lynch, who returned to the study, picked up the phone and dialed the number left by Ms. Tracey, which was a local number in Bupen.
At this time, Lynch felt a little tired. Since he returned to Bupen, he has been working, meeting, and meeting anytime and anywhere.
He thought he could take a break today, but Ms. Tracy came again.
The call was quickly connected, and Lynch introduced himself. Then Ms. Tracy expressed her hope to meet Lynch.
She came here for two reasons.
First, regarding the governor's election, her time is up and the next round of election is about to begin. Although her local support rate is not too low, no one can guarantee direct election by voters.
If politics wants to crush public opinion, it cannot lack the blessing of capital, just like capital wants to crush public opinion, it also needs the support of politics.
As for whether public opinion... no, that's a stupid question and we all know the answer.
To put it simply, it means money, influence, and of course maybe other things.
After making an appointment, I just hung up the phone when the phone rang again. It was Senator Langdon's.
"Mr. Lynch, are you free tonight?"
"We have some new friends here, you know..."
Senator Langdon did not finish what he said, but his meaning was fully expressed.
Lynch's political spokesperson, that is, he has welcomed new friends in the small circle of congressmen as the core.
These new friends have just completed their magnificent transformation and become members of the highest political palace of the Federation.
What these people need to do now is not to exert their influence and do something for this country, but to find a position where they are needed and where they can be placed as soon as possible.
Only if you find this position will you avoid becoming a marginalized person in Congress, and only if you find this position can you have large amounts of legal income remitted into your account on a regular basis.
Perhaps there are some lofty idealists among these people, but there is definitely no shortage of people who sneak into Congress for money.
As the potential core, Lynch needs to appear. This will help establish his status in the minds of this group of people, and it will also help Langdon control the entire circle!
As for whether Langdon will replace him?
Lynch is not worried about this, because in the federal government, in Congress, you can say "We are going to overthrow a senator" or even "We are going to overthrow the president."
It doesn't matter, no one will think you are bad, and there may be people who support your idea.
But if you say, "Let's kill the capitalists," then it's very likely that all the big capitalists will get the news in ten minutes.
Then you might drink too much at night, get electrocuted in your bathtub at home, and die in an accident.
If Langdon wants to surpass Lynch, then he must find someone to take over his small group. At the same time, this person or this force must be able to resist the revenge from Lynch.
No one is stupid enough to mess with someone like Lynch, at least not for the next ten years, and not before Mr. Trueman's influence wanes.
So Lynch was not worried at all. He actually did it, and the first people to report were the senators.
They didn't befriend Senator Landon because of his charisma, they were friends purely because of Lynch!
Lynch thought for a while, agreed, and called Ms. Tracy again, saying that he would have a brief meeting with the congressman in the evening.
If she doesn't mind, you can come along, or wait a little longer.
Ms. Tracy’s political influence mainly comes from three places. The first is the political influence of “her mayor father”. She has connections, but it cannot push her to become the first female governor in federal history.
So this is not the key.
The second one, from her uncle who was the Patriarch, was one of the keys.
Eighty-one percent of the people in the Federation currently believe in religion—this number has increased by nearly ten percent from the past because of the outbreak of the war.
Young people, especially those who went to war, began to believe in God and believed that they could enter the Kingdom of Heaven after sacrificing their lives for their country.
What does eighty-one percent of believers represent?
It means that the Federation now has at least 50 million believers, and among them there are about 3 to 4 million believers and voters who will be influenced by her uncle.
And then there’s the third one, feminist organizations.
Ms. Tracy's rise to power was not a "political victory" in the strict sense. She just became one of people's needs at the right time, and she was the most suitable one.
Therefore, it is very reasonable for the two parties to agree that she will come to power. There is nothing particularly unreasonable. Her victory represents the advancement of the Federation in terms of social form and system!
It is a victory for the free will of the people of the Federation!
To both parties, nothing more than a female governor!
This has also led to the fact that even though Ms. Tracy has become a female governor, she still lacks high-level political resources.
She is not the kind of female politician who rises step by step. She can probably count the number of people she knows in Congress on one hand, and it's not even close to being familiar with them.
So when Lynch said that he wanted to chat with the gentlemen in Congress and he didn't mind taking Ms. Tracey with him, she immediately agreed.
At 7:15 in the evening, it was dinner time, and Lynch came outside the restaurant they had reserved.
The second floor we visited today was reserved and only received one table of guests.
Ms. Tracy had been waiting here for a while. She immediately came up to meet Lynch after he got off the car. There was another lady with her.
Being thirty years old or a little over, Lynch has the impression that he is very white, even at night!
"This is Randa..." Ms. Tracy briefly introduced, Lynch shook hands with her, and then the three of them entered the elevator.
Ms. Tracey and this Ms. Landa both smell great, and the natural aroma makes the fragrance not cheap at all and feels great.
After arriving on the second floor, Senator Langdon, who had received the news, had already appeared at the elevator entrance. He took the initiative to say hello to Lynch, and then greeted Ms. Tracy.
He knows Ms. Tracey, the first female governor of the Federation, and he doesn’t need to pretend not to know her in front of Lynch. That’s stupid!
But he really didn't know Landa, but neither Lynch nor Ms. Tracy introduced her idea, so Senator Langdon didn't have anything to do.
Lynch noticed that Senator Langdon's demeanor and appearance had changed a lot.
He has begun to develop into a real top politician, wearing very low-key but definitely not cheap clothes.
Many ordinary people may feel that there is no difference between what the big shots wear and what they wear, but they would never expect that there is no difference in their eyes. In fact, the difference is very big.
The formal styles of the Federation tend to be loose, which is also influenced by the Federal people's pursuit of freedom and enjoyment.
They are not like Gevra's formal clothes, which are a bit suffocating, whether for men or women.
It is indeed difficult to tell the difference between expensive and cheap in a slightly loose formal suit, and this is precisely what upper-level federal politicians like most.
Low-key luxury, they think it is the hot excellence hidden in the body, Lynch summed it up as "sultry", if there is such a word as "sultry" in this world.
With the arrival of Lynch, the people who were chatting stood up one after another. The appearance of these big names who could only be seen on TV in front of Ms. Tracy and Ms. Landa had already given them a great impact.
What makes them feel even more incredible and reasonable is that Lynch is not a foil, he is the protagonist.
"This is...Senator!"
"This is...Congressman!"
In front of outsiders, they can all be collectively referred to as members of Congress, but only members of Congress know in their hearts that senators and representatives are never the same thing.
You must introduce them separately to warn those congressmen that although they are also members of Congress, they are at the bottom!
This is a rule, and the power of rules is extremely powerful!
Lynch reservedly shook hands with everyone and chatted for a few words, then sat down with everyone to eat something and talked about the current situation at home and abroad. He stayed for less than twenty minutes before getting up and leaving.
Everyone walked him to the elevator entrance and then watched the elevator door close.
Senator Langdon also takes these people out to relieve their stress at night. This is also considered as a custom to welcome new friends!
At this time, in the elevator room, Lynch looked at Ms. Landa with some confusion, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"I heard your breathing was rapid!"
