The residents of the Bracken Tree Farm returned to their homes.

They flew on a charter flight from Naples International Airport to the nearest Swansea airport and back by taxi, albeit a slightly less modest final leg of the trip, costing £14,000 per person per day to what was probably the most expensive trip Lin had ever made.

Although Lin Yilong did not find the holiday very comfortable, the others had a good time: Lin's father even caught a flounder outside the harbor of Portoferaio, while Lin Mu and Madame Yeon kept arguing about chess, Mr. Yeon, who had just recovered from a serious illness, kept sunbathing on a deck chair by the pool, and the Yeon sisters took a good dip in the Mediterranean Sea - only Lin Yilong, from Livorno, pretended to be very busy and shut himself in his study to play games.

Back home, back to civilization, and make out with the Yeon sisters before the end of the holiday. On Saturday, Lin traveled to London, where Katie had stayed since her brief time at Talbot Steel.

In addition to her job as Lin Yilong's assistant, Katie is also preparing for her own campaign.

In some strongholds, the nomination of a party is often more important than all factors. As was the case with Mr. Fiskau in the districts of Scarborough and Viterby, the countryside was always the stronghold of the Tories, the areas of the urban poor were always the strongholds of the left-wing opposition, and the townsfolk were always supportive of the Whigs.

Lin Yilong was emotionally more supportive of the Whigs. The legal profession is divided into different factions according to the scope of practice because of the origin of their clients, most of the law firms rooted in the countryside support the Tories, most of the lawyers rooted in the main business area of the city center support the left-wing opposition party, and as for the multinational business and financial lawyers, they generally support the Whig Party - it just so happens that most of the employees of Lin's old employer, Alan Binghamton, are Whigs. This collection includes Miss Catherine Whitehouse.

For Katie, the timing was crucial: the by-election was held in a by-election in Kingston-on-Thames, where Lin had previously lived in London.

Lin bought a three-bedroom apartment in Kingston near the banks of the River Thames for Katie, who will live here in the future — an added benefit of running in Kingston, where the majority of voters are middle-class, and Kingston upon Thames has no worries when lawmakers from other districts try to package themselves as pro-people by driving only affordable cars.

"Why do you care so much about me?" asked Katie in a trembling tone, seeing the apartment that had been furnished to her custom.

The setting here is almost similar to Katie's villa on the waterfront in Bonas, with plates, quilts and even chocolate sauce that she only occasionally wants to eat but doesn't know where to put it, neatly arranged in the places where she often places them - as for the bedroom, the stereo, wardrobe and even the bedside tables are all in the same position as she is used to - in some places, Katie's parents have a hard time finding.

It's really terrifying when a person knows everything about you - even if Katie knows that she will hardly be able to get rid of Lin Yilong's control, but he has done his part, it makes her a little more frightened.

"We're so close, it's okay to care about something. Lin Yilong said in a rather generous tone, "You can understand." ”

"I just don't understand something, I'll at least let you confirm with me. Katie asked.

"Did you start thinking about getting someone you trusted into the Palace of Westminster from the moment you joined the Farmers' Club?" asked Katie.

"Never thought about it. "This matter cannot be admitted in any way, both in public and private," Katie, you also know that I don't really need a spokesperson in the Palace of Westminster right now, and even if I do, I can exchange it for influence in various forms. In the City of London, there are people who specialize in this kind of lobbying. Although it is a bit convenient, it means more to me than it does for you to realize your dreams. Lovers are willing to please each other, aren't they?"

This theory left Katie speechless, and she couldn't find an argument to refute Lin Yilong for a while.

"Even if people's dreams are changing all the time, there is always a yardstick, or they are confusing the ends and means, and we talked about this topic with Fatima before. Lin Yilong reminded Katie with a smile.

"And what if I don't want to do it anymore?" asked Katie, the bottom line she was most eager to know.

"It's good to return to the family and stay by my side to teach my husband and children. There was no one around, so Lin Yilong directly hugged Katie and kissed him, "This road is also open to Katie now, but I respect your choice, unless you feel bored or this path is wrong, it is not a necessary moment, I will not ask you to do it." I thought, you know what I'm trying to say, don't you?"

Katie didn't push Lin Yilong away without fun, but she was thinking about the future with her eyes open when she kissed - at least, Katie didn't have the idea of "returning to the family" at this time, and she wouldn't have any ambitions, with Lin Yilong behind her, it was much better than her fighting alone and smiling at the same time.

Katie doesn't intend to be a big wave maker, she just wants to be a submarine that doesn't go with the flow so much, and of course working for the electorate, which is what she has to do.

Normally, a newly elected MP will spend a considerable amount of time sitting in the back row of the debate table, and each time he arrives at the Palace of Westminster, he will only maintain the unity of a faction under the command of the "party whip", and act as a marionette. The level of involvement in the issue is far less than that of the members sitting in the front row. Powerful people in marginal constituencies have their own ways to participate in the discussion of issues. However, the likes of Mr. Fisk's Viterby and Katie's upcoming by-election Kingston don't really require the personal qualities of the elected members of the district, and voters' loyalty to a particular faction is far more important than their trust in the personal abilities of the councillors – even if the dominant faction nominates an intellectually impaired person, voters will vote for him and support the faction they support. This kind of work is exactly what Katie needs at this stage.

"Now, though, you need to have your own team and office. I can't help you directly in this regard, or it could easily turn into some kind of scandal, and I can't vote for you, because I'm not based in Kingston-on-Thames. Finally, congratulations, Your Excellency Councillor Katherine Whitehouse. ”
