0806 Lots of Luck

Early the next morning, the doorbell rang.

The postman from the post office was standing outside the yard pushing a trolley, as were community workers.

"What are these?" Lynch got up early and finished his morning exercise. He picked up the top box and took a look.

"To the one you love most..."

Lynch's name was on it, along with the sender's name, which was Penny.

Lynch suddenly thought of something. Although the people of the Federation did not have the custom of "New Year greetings", they would also give each other things to express their affection.

Those who live farther away will send out New Year gifts in advance, and those who live closer, such as those in the same city, will send them out on the last day of last year in advance to ensure that the things can be delivered to people on January 1st.

Of course, delivering gifts to your door in person is also a good option, but then fewer people can visit, so most people still choose to let the post office and postman help them.

Penny was still in Bupen. She could deliver the things herself, but she still went through the postman.

In addition to Penny's, there are also Catherine's, Vera's, and a large number of individuals or companies that have a cooperative relationship with Lynch.

Sometimes being a "big shot" is also an interesting thing. Regardless of issues such as busy work, just receiving various gifts during holidays can also make people happy physically and mentally.

After asking the postman to deliver all these things to the room, Lynch opened some gifts sent by the girls. Most of them were wrapped small pastries, mostly biscuits.

The price is not high, but... it still has some value. After all, the word "handmade" is always given a lot of special meaning.

During the process of unpacking the "blind box", Lynch discovered a very interesting phenomenon. People who are not very rich always give some "affectionate" things, almost all of which are handmade products.

For example, Vera's child gave Lynch a painting, which showed mother and son and Lynch, three people standing on the grass.

You can say that this painting is not valuable, but it is very valuable and cannot even be bought with money.

Those who have achieved financial freedom will give some exquisite small gifts, such as tie clips, cuff links, belts and wallets.

At nine o'clock, the whole family had already gotten up. After everyone had a hearty breakfast together, Sera said goodbye.

On the one hand, she didn't want to see Nel with the two girls dangling in front of her eyes, and on the other hand, she and Coleman did have a plan.

"We are going to the south for the winter, and will wait until the end of the month or next month before returning to Sabine City. It depends on when the weather gets warmer..." Sera's current outfits are very well-matched. She and her rich wives Our relationship is getting better and better.

Of course, this is also related to Lynch's growing influence. Lynch even heard about the opening of a store and invited Serra to attend the opening ceremony, and gave Serra some fees for this.

This time, Sierra was not going to spend the winter in the south alone, but also with her friends.

Life is so interesting. Three years ago, Sera would not even consider going to a warm place in the south to spend the winter. Now when she talks about it, it is like talking about an extremely small thing.

Lynch nodded, knowing this, and then looked at Nell.

"What are your plans today?" Nel asked this question first.

The Federation has a day off every January 1st. He planned to take the two girls out for a walk, but he had to take Lynch's ideas into consideration.

As a parent, Nell is not as normal as Sera when it comes to his attitude towards Lynch.

Lynch thought for a while, "I'm going to a party at Mr. President's house in the afternoon, you know, a New Year's party."

Koeman, who was sitting on the side reading the newspaper, suddenly raised his head and looked at Lynch. Only by truly coming into contact with the life of such a big shot can one feel the difference in this life.

Mr. President invited Lynch to a party. When this kind of plot that can only appear or in movies happens around you, the shock is really indescribable.

He also wanted to go, but Sera glanced at him sideways, and he could only lower his head again.

Nell breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I won't disturb you. I will wander around. I don't know when I will come next time."

After the conversation, everyone left the table. Lynch took Sierra's hand and sent her to the gate of the community. Her boat ticket was for the afternoon.

"If anything happens, call me at any time." Lynch warned.

Sierra did not refuse, "Don't worry, I will do it."

Lynch hugged Serra, and then watched Koeman busy helping Serra get into the car. He suddenly felt a little funny.

This kind of funny content may feel a little disrespectful, because what Lynch is thinking about at this time is the relationship between Serra and Koeman. Who is playing with whom?

After a while, Nell also took the two girls out, and only Lynch, a few maids, and his temporary housekeeper were left in the house.

Lynch originally wanted to find Catherine, but then gave up the idea after thinking about it.

Catherine attended a very important event last night, and Lynch even saw her on TV.

Federal folk may not pay much attention to the night of December 31st, but for the church, the last day of the year is obviously very meaningful.

There were many reasons why Ms. Tracey did not leave Bupen. One of the most important reasons was to attend the New Year's Eve ceremony of the Holy Cathedral of Bupen.

They would pray together around the Patriarch, perform religious rituals together, sing together, and enter the new year under the watchful eye of God.

There are three holy cathedrals in the Federation. This "holy" is not a name, but a title similar to an official rank. This also indicates that this is one of the highest-level churches.

Patriarchs and important religious figures from the central pastoral areas of the empire will gather at the Holy Cathedral on this day. Starting at eight o'clock in the evening, religious ceremonies will begin until the arrival of the New Year.

There are many believers in the Federation, and it is impossible for everyone to participate in person, so many people participate through live broadcasts. Even live broadcasts of evangelism are accepted by people. This method of watching live broadcasts in the living room to participate in religious activities is also accepted by believers. .

After all, God is holy and almighty. There is no difference between attending a ceremony in a church and attending a ceremony in a living room for the Holy and Almighty God.

This also means that at least 20 million people watched the religious New Year's Eve in the Holy Cathedral of Bupen last night.

Ms. Tracy's uncle is one of the central patriarchs. His status can be said to be very high, so he is naturally one of the main presiding officers.

As the niece of the Patriarch, Ms. Tracey is naturally qualified to stand at the front, and as Catherine is the link between Ms. Tracey and Lynch, she is also qualified to stand by Ms. Tracey's side.

More than 20 million people could see her for four or five hours. The impact this brought was absolutely unprecedented, and this opportunity was also very rare.

The ceremony lasted until midnight. Catherine should still be resting. Going at this time would disturb her rest. She would have to work tomorrow.

This appearance will be of great help to her future career in politics. Politics and religion are always inseparable.

After thinking about it, Lynch decided to go out for a walk, take a casual stroll, and buy a suitable gift for the evening party.

Bupen on January 1st is not as leisurely as January 1st in other places, and people here are still busy.

Maybe the holidays give work a break, but money doesn't.

As long as money keeps coming, there will naturally be those who chase money and those who are chased by money.

Lynch walked around and ate a scone at noon to fool him. In the afternoon, he arrived at the president's house at the agreed time.

It's home, not where he lives.

Mr. President has a relatively secluded large house in the suburbs of Bupen. When he was not the president, he would come back to live there every day. After he became the president, he would have to live in the presidential palace.

Naturally, this party cannot be held in the presidential palace. Maybe some media will make a big news about "live broadcast of the president's party" by then, and the venue will be his own home.

After verifying his identity, Lynch's car was allowed to enter. Austin was left in the house, while Lynch followed the housekeeper's guidance to the garden behind the house.

It's not quite a garden. In addition to the huge gardens and lawns, there is also a small golf course and a huge artificial lake.

It is said that not long after Mr. President paid a down payment to buy this house, the developer responsible for developing this residential area had some problems.

After they had just completed the construction of supporting facilities in the community, including multiple small golf courses and an artificial lake, they had to stop the sales work.

It seems that the construction plan they implemented is different from the project plan they applied for, and it also involves some funding issues.

In the end, the project was shelved indefinitely. As for the several houses that had been sold, the federal government had no right to take them back according to federal law, so it could only remain in a stalemate.

Later, the developer was involved in a series of lawsuits, but so far there have been no results, which has also led to the fact that the project has not been unblocked to this day.

Mr. President has repeatedly proposed to fulfill his obligation to buy a house and hand over the remaining payment to the developer, but because all the developers' banks have been frozen, his idea has not been successful.

Only after all lawsuits are over can he continue to pay.

Mr. President moved in without spending any money and enjoyed complete supporting services. This is the obligation of the developer. He must fulfill his service obligations for the house that has been sold.

There are not many people as lucky as Mr. President. There are only a few of them. The houses they bought are far apart. If they don't take the initiative to disturb each other, they are unlikely to meet each other in their lifetime.

Except for occasionally saying hello from afar when we are boating and fishing on the lake, most of the time we don't see each other.

Some people say this is profit transfer. Some capitalists have occupied large tracts of land in secret ways and then built this paradise-like place for so few people.

It's just that these speculations lack evidence, and in the end they have to be left alone. I can only say that Mr. President is really lucky!

By the way, before running for president, Mr. President was a senator in Congress...

Of course, his status at the time had nothing to do with whether he could buy such a house. It was purely his luck.

That's all.

After all, the Federation is a fair and just country, and everyone abides by the law and respects the law!
