49 Second Coming
The official by-election will take place in mid-October, and in September, of course, someone from the Whig office will help Katie with her work.
Katie set up her own office in Kingston's business district, and all of her predecessors were retained — two dedicated secretaries and an adviser to liaise with voters. In addition to the three full-time employees who receive a salary from Katie, there are also a number of unpaid but subsidized volunteers: part-time volunteers from factions in the constituency, and some college student volunteers who want to make her resume look better.
It's just a gradual takeover, and Katie's unexpected rise to prominence requires all employees to re-embrace that it will take some time.
Because most of the time for the Palace of Westminster to decide important issues is Thursday and Friday, and some less important issues are scheduled from Monday to Wednesday, Katie does not need to attend, just read the daily record - this is also the way most people who eat this bowl of rice - Katie does not have to meet with possible voters in her constituency office these days, in order to adapt, she still has time to go on a summer trip with Lin Yilong.
Sisters Amy and Yeon have both been to Monaco, and it would be unfair that Katie didn't come alone. Lin Yilong then took Katie on a walk-and-go trip, Katie finished work at seven o'clock, returned to her home and hurriedly changed her clothes, and went to Heathrow, flying to the Blue Coast.
British Airways operates a product called "European Club" on short-haul routes in Europe - the method is to divide the middle seat of the economy class of three seats into two "business class" slightly apart by a special table, because there are not many additional services, Lin Yilong chose the economy class priced at 69 pounds.
There were quite a few people on this plane, most of whom had the same purpose as Lin Yilong, to go to Monte Carlo to see the Monaco Yacht Show, of which the media personnel accounted for the vast majority.
"It reminds me a little bit of a time when I was traveling with my classmates when I was at school. While waiting for takeoff, Katie suddenly came up with this sentence.
"Hmm, why do you say that?" Lin Yilong asked.
"Because before that, it was either a business trip or a family trip. Katie replied, "This is the first time the two of us have flown like this." ”
"That's how you sat with Tom at that time?" Lin Yilong deliberately mentioned Tom and watched Katie's reaction.
"Because you're going to be in the same room with the girls over there, no. Katie glared at Lin Yilong, and when she saw that calm face, she was a little congested, but she couldn't say anything.
"I didn't have a school trip when I was in middle school. Lin Yilong said, "No, at that time, it was probably in junior high school, and the school organized a summer camp to go to neon during the summer vacation, but the fee was very expensive, around 7,000 soft girl coins - considering that my parents only had a meager salary of 700 yuan at the time, so I didn't make it." I'm a little envious of the trips organized by these schools in the West. ”
"We also paid extra for these trips. "We departed from Belfast and crossed the Irish Sea to Bordeaux via Brest. The whole journey was about £550 – my father was a mid-level prison guard at the time, and my mother had to do odd jobs outside the home to support the family, which added up to £2,500 a month, just enough to break even, which was close to £600 for them. ”
"Is the two thousand five real income or nominal income?"
"Actual income, of course. "But house prices weren't as crazy as they are now, and my parents bought a house for about £80,000, so they could barely make ends meet." ”
"So, Katie is also trying to feel what her parents were feeling at that time?" Lin Yilong confirmed her thoughts to Katie, who remembered that Katie wanted her own child because of the encouragement of the Yeon sisters and Mrs. Fisk.
Of course, the idea hasn't changed since the beginning. Katie replied with a blush on her face, "I recently read a story about working women, 'If women want to achieve something, the sooner they have children, the better.'" ”
Lin Yilong lost a roll of his eyes at Katie's opinion, but this was Katie's decision, and as a lover, he had no way to refuse.
Lin Yilong's neighbor heard the sweet conversation between the two, and turned his face to the side of the aisle in a playful manner.
Two hours later, the plane arrived in Nice. It took another 1 hour to take the convenience of platinum membership provided by the "resort group" to arrive at the hotel booked by Lin Yilong in advance.
Hotel rooms are in high demand during the yacht show, and Lin Yilong's apartment building is still not renovated, so he can't live there. The hotel that Lin Yilong had booked when he took the residents of Bracken Tree Farm from Monaco a month ago came in handy.
After a simple wash and makeup, Katie accompanied Lin Yilong into the private game room again, but the two did not serve the table, but just took some light food for dinner in the dining area on the side.
Everything is expensive here. Not to mention the comparison with South Wales, just the City of London. A 14-pound sandwich set costs 32 euros here. A burger in the same price range as a sandwich costs 35 euros and doesn't count as a set menu. As for the drinks, although they are not so outrageously expensive, they are also a little unbelievable. In the exclusive game room for Monte-Carlo Resorts Platinum members, a number of light sandwiches are available to members. In the wee hours of the morning, when the main restaurants are closed, this is the only place where you can get a "bedtime snack".
There are a few familiar faces in the game room for Katie, most of them artists with familiar faces on the screen.
"There are so many people in front of everyone right now, and there are even quite a few paparazzi, so there are hardly any political and economic dignitaries or big stars here tonight, and they are more likely to be seen chatting in the relaxed living room. Lin Yilong introduced, "I believe Katie you also know that the period after the exhibition is the 'real trading time', and you have to give people room to think about it." Most of the people who appear here are entrusted agents or lawyers, so it is not too much of a problem for us to show up like this. ”
Because of the by-election, Katie fears that her trip to the Côte d'Azur will be known to the press, especially since there is a relationship between her and Lin Yilong that cannot be exposed to the media. I have to say that Katie still had a lot of pressure when she came here, although she knew that Lin Yilong had probably solved some problems.
Lin Yilong's previous consultant lady appeared and greeted him like a great enemy—but he didn't expect that the female companion next to Lin Yilong was no longer Amy, and he still greeted Katie very naturally.
"Do you need a place for Mr. Lin?" asked the consultant.
"No, I'm just here to get some free dinner sandwiches. Lin Yilong replied, "I hope to get tickets to the yacht show and an invitation to a special cocktail party tomorrow morning, I believe there should be no problem." ”
"Of course, your orders are my actions. Seeing that the time had passed, the consultant seemed to be afraid that Lin Yilong would continue to call for wind and rain at the gambling table here, so she hurriedly agreed.
