Durin stayed in Turner for several days, and on the afternoon of the fourth day, all the celebrities of Turner received an invitation from Mason to dinner.

After all, Turnier is not a big city, the market is limited, and there are no business celebrities who can make a name for themselves in the empire, and even if there is, they will not stay in the small place of Turnell, so the number of people will naturally not be so large. When Durin didn't leave Turnaire, there were only twenty or thirty people from all walks of life, and some of them were wild dogs like Peter and Godol who were put in cages with their fangs removed, and they couldn't make it to the climate.

After so many years of development, the number of the upper class in the city not only did not increase, but showed signs of decreasing. The change in the Empire's foreign policy caused Turner's pillar industries to encounter some problems, especially after the establishment of the Special Zone. Part of the trade has begun to go from the special foreign zone, perhaps in terms of transportation costs, but a variety of preferential tax exemption and tax rebate policies can allow the import and export of some bulk commodities to get more preferential treatment.

Coupled with the gradual decline of the moonshine industry and some other gray industries, and the migration of people from remote and backward areas to developed areas, the city is somewhat bleak compared to the increasingly prosperous cities in the central and southern regions.

Originally, there were some people who wanted to refuse Mason's call, but when they heard that Durin would also participate, all of them said that they had time and hoped to be able to participate in such a banquet.

Doolin is a big shot out of Turner City, and with the fact that he's going to run for governor of the West, it's definitely a huge temptation for these people. No one dislikes that their social circle is too wide and their connections are too strong, and if they can get in touch with Durin, they may be able to use this person's energy to make a career at some point.

In the evening, Durin chartered the hotel opposite the town hall, this hotel used to be a hotel run by the former mayor Peter's mistress, it was crowded every day, and it was known that Peter's family had some problems, and he preferred this mistress, and often stayed with her for the night, which gave these people some opportunities, even if it was just a normal meal, maybe they could get acquainted.

After Peter's assassination, the woman mysteriously disappeared, and there is a theory that she left Turnaire with some of the money Peter left behind, found an honest man in a foreign city, started a family, and lived an ordinary life. At that time, some gangs went to collect clues, not for the woman, but for the money in her bank, but unfortunately in the end, they found nothing.

After Peter's mistress disappeared, the hotel was resubcontracted by the town hall to another businessman, and after the redecoration and opening, the business performance was average, but it was not too bad, as long as it did not lose money, it could be regarded as a façade.

This time, when Doolin wanted to charter the hotel, the manager of the hotel also said that Doolin did not need to pay for it, and they were willing to provide the venue for free. At this point, Du Lin was no longer thinking about how to take advantage of others, but how not to be taken advantage of by others, and he still gave a lot of money in the end.

At night, many luxury cars parked outside the hotel also added a lot of color to the hotel, and most of the passers-by will look curiously to see what is going on, which will actually bring together the thunderous big people in Turnaire City, but these people are destined to not know everything that happened here today.

The class is always a ruthless and cold city wall, there is no reason to say that there is no human affection, and if the level is not enough, the level is not enough!

There are still more than twenty minutes before the start of dinner, and the people invited by Mason have already arrived, and now Mason and Durin are no longer the inconspicuous little characters they used to be, if these people still have to step on the point before entering the door, it is to give Durin a look. Everyone knows very well that Durin is not a good person, he is a ruthless person, and it is the stupidest thing to provoke such a guy who wants people's lives at every turn, and with Durin's current status and identity, it is not their turn to despise him.

While dinner had not yet begun, and everyone was gathered in the lounge, Durin appeared, and there was a very temperamental woman beside him, some of whom looked away with a tangle of curiosity, and some of whom kept looking at this woman with some curiosity, as if they had seen her somewhere.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Durin smiled and nodded, and immediately there were people cheering, he smiled and greeted everyone, some of whom he knew, others who were very strange, he moved some distance a little, and introduced the female companion beside him, "I had the pleasure of inviting a very special guest to dinner with us tonight, it was the lady next to me, Lady Vivien. ”

At the same time as he said this, those who didn't understand suddenly came to their senses, and the eyes of these people looking at Mason also changed somewhat. They all know what Mason is going to run for, and they have always maintained a good relationship with Mason, but the problem is that this city is a city within the influence of the old party, and there are rules for every step. It's not impossible if you want to jump through the ranks, but you have to come up with something that is enough to convince everyone, otherwise you have to obey the rules of the game.

The old party did not advocate free competition like the new party, and the stubborn and rotten system made every step of the way for everyone to follow, but there were many people who liked this system because it was less competitive than free competition.

If you achieve the requirements of the promotion, then you will be able to be promoted, you don't need to compete with others for places, there is no life-and-death struggle, giving people the illusion that as long as I work hard, I will be able to achieve it, and there will always be people who like this.

As the daughter of the last governor, Vivien's influence was strong enough to reach the entire state of Canles and beyond. Governors and governors are not the same concept, in the decaying old society, the governor means that the military and political power is grasped, and without a strong enough backstage and background, it is enough to think that it can be done at all, which is enough to say that it is the top of the old party.

When the old Governor was buried, even the leader of the old party, Kubar, personally sent a telegram to mourn and remember the old Governor, which is enough to show the prestige of His Excellency the Governor.

Vivien is the only surviving direct descendant of His Excellency the Governor in the world, and at the same time one of the few most famous and appealing feminist fighters, and has publicly stated that she wants to run for mayor of Ordo, even if you don't pay attention to the news about it, most of you have heard of it. There was a slight change in the way they looked at Mason at this time, with Doolin's financial support and Vivien's support as an iconic figure of the old party, Mason's chances of successfully running for councilor or mayor would skyrocket.

People who were originally wavering also began to weigh the pros and cons, and before dinner was over, some people became unappetizing. A huge change in the ruling layer of a city also means that the structure of the entire city may change, and if you can't keep up with the rhythm, you will inevitably be eliminated, which is terrible!

As the invitees of this dinner, Mason and Dulin and Vivian kept wandering around the lounge, chatting cordially with each invitee, and summed up two sentences in a thousand words, support Mason, support Vivian.

After the dinner, Durin left Mason to greet the celebrities, and he and Vivien found a more intimate place, such as the Delier Art Gallery, to discuss other matters.

This time he invited Vivian to come over and stand for Mason, and Durin did not pay for nothing. Vivien herself was in a sensitive period, and it was not a good thing for her to actively interfere or influence politics at this time. This will make people think that this woman is too strong and difficult to get along with, and before she has become the mayor of Ordo, she has begun to meddle in some work in the following cities, which will inevitably be artificially created in the election.

So this time Vivian's appearance is also behind Durin's work.

"Actually, the current situation is not clear......", Vivien asked Delier to bring some drinks and fruit and kicked him out, I haven't seen this sissy become less sissy for several years, a little more normal, which made Durin not recognize it at the first time. He came back to his senses at this point and looked at Vivian, who took a sip of red wine from her glass, paused slightly, and continued, "Some minor troubles are not considered troubles, and the biggest trouble now is the attitude of the state government, you know, the governor is from the New Party. ”

Canles is not the strongest vote base of any one party, with four cities supporting the New Party reforms and three supporting the Old Party, and the incumbent governor narrowly won the key votes in the last general election. There have always been doubts about the fact that the new party cheated in the process of counting votes, otherwise how could the old party lose the election with only a few votes, and whether the governor's power came fairly and justly has been controversial.

In addition, after the governor came to power, he vigorously launched a political offensive to weaken the influence of the old party in Canles, which has achieved initial results, and if the mayor of Ordo, the capital city of a state, is taken down by the old party at this time, this will undoubtedly be equivalent to a slap in the face of the governor.

is the biggest denial of his work in the past eight years, so Vivian's campaign road is not so smooth, which is also the main reason why she wants to visit abroad, looking for help from the outside world to break the current shackles and give her a chance to sit in that position.

"So, what do you need me to do?", Durin glanced at Dufo beside Vivien, there were exactly eight cloves of apples lying on the plate in his hand, and just as he wanted to reach out and take half of them, he stuffed them into his mouth one by one, and withdrew his arm a little embarrassed.

The corner of Vivian's eyes twitched, she wanted to take it too, but seeing that Du Lin stretched out her hand and waited politely, she didn't expect Du Buddha to eat all .......

After a little deliberation, she said, "I need you to support my campaign, from above, and beyond!"
