Chapter 2505
In a large and private villa in the suburbs, about sixty people have gathered, all of them men.
There are no servants or housekeepers here, they have to do everything themselves.
After they leave, someone will come to clean up, but while these people are here, no one will disturb them.
Senator Langdon sat in the middle, surrounded by thirteen federal senators, and the outermost circle were all congressmen, as well as a small number of peripheral members who hoped to enter this circle.
This is the York Gang, one of the most powerful political groups in Congress. Normally, they would not actively work together to seek political power.
But no one can ignore their existence, let alone their political influence.
Everyone seemed very relaxed. Although the weather was cold in winter, today was a very unusual gathering.
For the peripheral members, all they can see and talk to today are the real members of Congress.
And the members of the House of Representatives are also very excited. The probability that they want to become a senator is actually very low. If they have a high probability, they will not become a representative.
But no matter what, there are still opportunities and channels for jumping from the House of Representatives to the Senate. For example, someone may appreciate you.
Federal elections are essentially elections for the people to watch and for them to choose for fun. Those who can truly control the results are hidden among the people!
For the senators, they are actually looking forward to it, because today not only the professor will come, but also Catherine, and Mr. Lynch.
As the current chairman of the committee of the Progressive Party, the professor has a very high status here. Regardless of whether she can keep her word in the committee, at least nominally she holds the initiative.
As one of the governors of the three special states of Nagaril, Catherine also controls Slem's huge tax revenue, which is an astonishing amount of wealth.
Even though she is about to step down in a year, in fact, her control over Slem, or Lynch's control over Slem, will continue.
How many times have capital forced the government to happen in the federation?
How many officials have resigned due to the anger of the capitalists, directly cutting off their promising political lives?
And Mr. Lynch, not to mention, a god-like man!
At nine-twenty in the morning, ten minutes earlier than his mother's time to go to work, everyone had already begun to pay attention to their clothes, because Mr. Lynch was about to arrive.
They have never been so serious about going to Congress to attend a Congress meeting, but the attitude they showed today has exceeded their attitude towards Congress.
A few minutes later, Senator Langdon opened the door and welcomed Lynch, Catherine and the professor.
The cold wind blew in through the open door, and no one felt the slightest bit of cold at this moment, but instead felt hot all over.
The senators stood at the front. They greeted Lynch one by one, shook hands, and said a few words with smiles.
Then came the members of the House of Representatives, who behaved a little more humbly, many of whom did not even dare to straighten their backs.
When the peripheral members arrived, they almost bent down to shake hands with Lynch. If the federal people didn't like kneeling, they would have knelt on the ground and looked up at Lynch to hold his hand to show respect!
When Lynch finished the tour, Catherine and the professor also met everyone relatively formally.
Many of them were met by professors in the committee, but they did not introduce themselves to each other in such a formal manner, just in a business-like manner.
Senators don't have to be too deferential to anyone but the people who control whether they can continue to be senators.
Because they can no longer find anyone to show respect to them, in this small and spacious federation!
Catherine acted very reserved, and the professor tried hard to be equally reserved, but it was obvious that she was still very excited.
After all, knowing someone doesn't mean being recognized. Today, she finally entered the top political circle in the federation.
To her... this is like an ordinary player suddenly joining the circle of high-level players, all of whom are masters!
The villa is specially designed for parties. There are not so many designs for daily life here, only large rooms filled with sofas or desks.
In a large room that looked like a conference room, Lynch and Cather sat in the middle, Senator Langdon sat on his left, and the professor sat on Katherine's right.
Others spread out in circles around the core according to their identity and status.
At this time, the peripheral members turned into waiters and began to serve everyone. Maybe this was one of the reasons why they were able to come.
They hold certain secrets, and their status is low enough to be manipulated by most people.
And these middle-aged people, who look to be in their forties, look honored when they start working in service. Perhaps this is the meaning of power and wealth.
"I heard that there was such a small gathering today, so I took the initiative to tell Langdon to come and have a look. I also introduced Ms. Catherine and the professor to everyone."
"Professor may be familiar to everyone. After all, there was a period at the end of last year when she appeared frequently in newspapers, more than Connor..."
There was a soft chuckle, not harsh or sarcastic.
The position of chairman of the Progressive Party Committee is only a party position. If we look at the official positions of the federal government, the professor is an ordinary person without a position.
But the chairperson of the party committee is not really an ordinary person. She has a very high political status, which is not much worse than the federal president, if it is those people before her.
For example, the short old man has a much higher status than the president.
The emergence of a woman in such an important position. Many people believe that this is an inevitable process for the federal political arena to become enlightened!
Some people regard the professor's rise to power as a victory for Ms. Tracey's struggle!
In short, for the first time, women have stood in a political position higher than the governor. This is the first great victory in the fight for women’s rights!
So she was in the newspapers a lot more than Connor, and people wanted to know what the committee chairwoman was talking about and what she was trying to do.
Many people have seen her at committee meetings, so she is actually familiar to most people here.
She still stood up and continued to bend around to express her attitude.
After she turned several directions, Lynch raised his hand and pressed her softly, asking her to sit down, and then introduced Catherine.
"Catherine was my first official girlfriend and my motivation to reach the top."
"At that time, we had just graduated and lived in a small and cramped rental house. We could not spend more than five yuan a day. As long as we spent more than five yuan, we would be very miserable at the end of the month."
"At first, I felt that it was me who was wrong, because I didn't work hard enough, because I wasn't good enough, so I, and we, faced such a difficult life."
"But one day I suddenly understood that it was not me, not us, but the world that was wrong!"
"From that day on, I wanted to use my own power to change the world."
"Almost most of us come from the common people, which is one of the reasons why we can stick together and not be looked down upon by others."
"We must use our own strength to change the world and make it a better place!"
"Make it truly fair, just and free!"
"In short, she is very important to me, and if nothing happens, there will be no accidents. She will enter the Congress next year and become colleagues with everyone. I hope everyone can help her more at work."
Catherine also stood up at this time, and like the professor, she bowed and saluted to express her gratitude and greetings.
Some people are thoughtful, and some people say flattering words. This world is really unfair.
Some are in their forties and still working as waiters for others.
And some people who are in their thirties, let alone those who did not graduate from Holy Peace College, will be able to enter the Senate next year.
Perhaps, Mr. Lynch is right, this world needs to change!
As he spoke, Lynch began to talk about some work matters, such as some attitudes towards the Socialist Party and some views on some bills that are waiting to be passed.
Everyone listened and discussed attentively, and at the same time sighed in their hearts how powerful Lynch was!
A lot of what they discussed was actually the daily work of Congress, who submitted what proposal, and the contents of these proposals were really messy.
For example, someone submitted a proposal to ban farts and burps in public places, and impose fines and short-term detention on those who engage in inappropriate behavior.
But some people have also raised more formal issues, such as the idea of policy regulation regarding the current conflict of interests between native indigenous and immigrant groups.
No matter what the proposal is, Lynch can stand in a further position and put forward constructive suggestions that make them feel inspired!
He is like almighty, knows everything, knows everything!
The conversation lasted until about four o'clock in the afternoon. For lunch, the peripheral members went to a designated place to pick up meals. There were large insulated trucks specially used to transport food. This was not the first time that they had done this.
After the conversation was almost over, Lynch started to talk about the new issue of profit distribution.
"The federal minimum hourly wage standard is raised every year, and we have developed very well in the past few years, economically and financially, so this year our share will also increase a lot."
"Gentlemen at the senatorial level and above can get a share of no less than 350,000 yuan this year."
"A gentleman at the level of a representative can probably get a share of 200,000."
"As for..." Lynch glanced at the peripheral personnel. Originally, there were no such people.
Who they follow will be responsible for their income, but since it comes to this, he won't be too stingy. "We can't be too stingy in terms of peripheral members. We can't let them contribute their own efforts and have to pay themselves."
"Let's start with 30,000 per year. Langdon, please register..."
