1886 Conversation

People become fragile when they have something to worry about.

Human beings are born invincible, but the more obstacles there are, the more vulnerable they become.

Joanna is not a fool, and of course she may not be very smart, but she will not feel stupid, nor will she be deceived so easily.

The doctor grasped most of her weaknesses, coupled with her twisted desire for health and her equally twisted fear of illness.

Between sex, pursuit, fear and emotion and chemistry, she agrees to give the doctor some investment.

In fact, this is very funny, but it is not that funny!

Lynch's mother, Sierra, shared Joanna's concerns.

She does charity and runs a factory, but she is also afraid of getting cancer.

For this reason, she even decided to cut off her breasts and the place where she raised her children!

Not just her, many upper-class women are afraid of the torture of these diseases. Pain and pain are only an insignificant part of their fears.

What they really fear is that these are terminal illnesses, which mean they will die.

Many people in the middle and lower classes of society will sigh with emotion when they are about to close their eyes while lying on the hospital bed - relief.

They will shed some tears, completely let go of their guarding against society, family, and everything as human beings, let go of their humility and caution, and be as they were when they came, no longer caring about anything.

It was clean and pure and made their souls jump for joy. Those were not tears of sadness, but tears of joy!

Finally, I no longer have to carry the burden of walking in this dirty world. Isn't this something that we should be happy about?

But for the rich, for the upper class of society, death means that everything they own, everything above society will be recycled, and they will lose it.

They are afraid of death. What they fear is not just death, but the fear of losing these privileges and status!

Contrary to the middle and lower classes of society, when the moment of death comes for the middle and upper classes of society, most of them are not peaceful, and some are even very twisted!

And the tears in the corners of their eyes were tears of fear!

Perhaps everything said in the myth of Nagaril is reflected at this moment, and the burden-bearers will unload their burdens and fly into the kingdom of God to enjoy eternal joy and well-being.

And those in power, those at the top, will fall into the abyss and suffer eternal torture...

The more powerful a person is, the richer he is, the more status he has, the more he fears death!

Joanna is also afraid of death, so investing can make you stronger, why not?

The doctor prescribed a figure of two hundred thousand, and then explained how the two hundred thousand would be used.

In fact, Joanna didn't know what many of the things in it were or what their uses were, but she liked the doctor's attitude very much, which showed that he was not trying to deceive her.

She took another drag on her cigarette and said, "Next month, if I take out a large amount right after the money arrives, some people will be dissatisfied."

The doctor just nodded and didn't force him to get it immediately. He knew very well that some things had to be done slowly.

In the evening, it was already after ten o'clock when Joanna returned to the Presidential Palace, and Mr. Trueman was sitting on the bed reading a book.

The weather was getting colder, and although there was heating in the room, Mr. Trueman didn't like to turn the heating up too high.

When he was younger he preferred cooler temperatures, and as he gets older, though he is not as resistant to freezing as he was in his youth.

But if you turn the heating on too high, you will get a headache when you go out.

The meteorological department predicts that next month, the temperature will drop to zero or below in Bupen, and the temperature will drop very quickly.

Sitting on the bed and covering yourself with a quilt is actually quite comfortable.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't make it to something today." Mr. Trueman originally said he was going to go, but things at Pengeo were delayed.

A large number of Lynch's night vision goggles have left Hong Kong. In five days at most, the war will completely break out.

The federal military intends to open up the situation at once, and soldiers are constantly taking boats to Pengeo.

There are already quite a few people there, and everyone else is waiting.

Once a battle breaks out, the one million army troops gathered in Nagaril will be transported quickly. By then, more than one million people will cooperate with the "internal" manpower, and they must be won in one battle.

The transfer of millions of people will involve many aspects, many of which require the signature of the president.

Mr. Trueman is an ideal politician, but he is also able to recognize reality. He did not completely delegate power because of his deep relationship with the military.

He would carefully read every document that required his signature.

This is responsible for the person who submitted the document and also for yourself.

So once you delay, you lose time.

Joanna was in a good mood today. She smiled and said indifferent words with an indifferent expression, "It doesn't matter, it went very successfully."

The subtext is that it doesn't matter whether Mr. Trueman goes or not, but it can also be seen as her consolation for Mr. Trueman's failure to make the appointment.

As for how to analyze it, it depends on what Mr. Trueman thinks at this time.

Joanna took off her clothes and put on a nightgown that was convenient for home, and then walked to the bathroom.

Not long after, she was sitting in front of the dressing table taking care of her skin.

Today she discovered that compared to her peers, her skin, although not bad, was not very good either.

She has a sense of urgency.

In the first forty years of her life, she never did anything she wanted to do. Now, she has to live for herself.

Mr. Trueman didn't want to continue to waste energy on the relationship between husband and wife. He was tired enough and he would just ask if he had anything.

“How much money did you raise today?”

Joanna glanced at Mr. Trueman through the mirror, then looked at the number and said, "More than ten million."

"So much?" Mr. Trueman was a little surprised. He thought it was only a few million at most, but he didn't expect it to be more than 10 million.

Seeing how surprised he was, Joanna had another smile on her face, "Those arms dealers have donated a lot!"

Mr. Trueman's expression was a little solemn, "How much did Lynch donate?"

Joanna thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth. She couldn't hide this kind of thing from others, let alone her husband who was now the President of the Federation.

Two seconds later, he said the shocking number, "Five million!"

As smart as Mr. Trueman was, he understood what Lynch meant in an instant. He was doing good in many ways, in a very special way.

It also gave Mr. Trueman some bad feelings because it was too much money, and because there was so much money, the fundraising became more high-profile.

In fact, he initially disagreed with Joanna's charity of helping veterans in need. This group of people was not like homeless people, the unemployed, or the elderly living alone who could not afford to eat.

The above-mentioned groups are not large in number, and they are also disadvantaged groups in society. They have no voice channels.

If some scandal occurs, or something needs to be covered up, these people can shut up immediately as soon as someone with a little energy says hello.

What's more important is that they don't have a strong background behind them. Even if they are bullied to death, there is nothing they can do!

What kind of background can a tramp have? If he really has a background, he won't become a tramp.

But soldiers are different, even veterans or disabled soldiers.

These people have their backs to the military. If you interfere in some military matters, it may seem like you have helped the military solve a lot of problems, but the military may not appreciate it.

Because in the eyes of the military, these actions are like mocking the military for not doing a good enough job!

Secondly, if some accident occurs, they only need to contact veterans clubs everywhere, and the matter will soon alert the top military officials, if the matter is really big.

You know, soldiers have comrades, and comrades have comrades. Just like him, Mr. Trueman, he is familiar with many generals in the military, but he is just a colonel.

Once the military is involved, it will be difficult to end the matter, even with his connections.

So he didn't agree with Joanna making a fuss about these things at first, but later Joanna did point out some problems.

There were indeed things that this special group couldn't take care of. He thought that as long as he was not too high-profile, there wouldn't be any big problems.

Obviously, the situation is completely different now. A donation of more than 10 million is enough for media coverage, and soon a group of real or fake veterans will come to ask for help.

The military club may also have some opinions.

The change in his expression was noticed by Joanna, and she frowned, "What's wrong?"

"You don't look very happy."

Mr. Trueman sighed, more than unhappy?

But the thing was done, and there was no chance to look back. "It's nothing, I thought of something else."

"For the next work of the foundation, you'd better go to the Veterans Office and talk to them. Maybe they can give some good suggestions."

There are veterans' offices everywhere, as well as veterans' clubs, the military's own quasi-official body.

After veterans return to their own cities, they can report to these two places with their discharge certificates. They will first register at the veterans office and then join the veterans club. There will be regular activities.

The Veterans Club is essentially engaged in helping veterans deal with their psychological and spiritual distress.

It wouldn't be bad if we could reach some cooperative relationships with these two organizations.

By spending the money through them, the military won't feel the slightest resentment, and the foundation won't have much responsibility.

He briefly explained the matter, and Joanna nodded repeatedly and took it to heart.

She is not very interested in this aspect, because this part is always only a small part, and only 30% of the donations can be specifically used for these people.

What she cares about is the other 50% and her new life.

Mr. Trueman saw that Joanna was listening very seriously, and stopped paying attention after she finished speaking.

With him and Peleus here, even if something is not done well, it will not be irreversible.

He always feels that he owes a lot to his family, and he is always in a relatively passive position when facing his wife and daughter.
