Chapter 215: The Final Chapter

"Wow, I can hear the girls cheering for you, well done, come, have a drink with grandpa." The Secretary of State happily came to his grandson's side, holding champagne in his hand, shaking even walking, and it seemed that he had drunk a lot before.

"Don't tease me, it's okay for this medal to bluff others, can you see it?" Chen Fang hurriedly hugged his grandfather.

"Boy, don't be too crazy, don't pay attention to anything, this is not good. The Order of Auga, I always dreamed of getting a piece, I'm afraid there is no hope in this life. And your father-in-law, if he could get this medal with all the guns he treasured, I bet he wouldn't hesitate. Grandpa smiled miserably.

"None of you?" Chen Fang sweated wildly.

"The Order of Augar is no different honor, and the recipients deserve it, and there are many restrictions. No matter how good you are in the Expedition, you will not be able to earn this honor. What made you win the award is anti-terrorism, you saved Illano, you saved the imperial capital, you saved Rock County, and you deservedly won the Order of Augar. What does Grandpa deserve to be commended? Commend me for expanding the territory of the Augar Empire sixfold in the past few decades? If you hear of a country that dares to take the liberty of awarding the highest honor to the bureaucrat who plotted the invasion, your father-in-law is even more useless, and the outside world calls him an executioner. "Standing at the heart of the empire's power with his grandson has been the dream of the secretary of state for many years, and this wish has become illusory because of Chen Fang's illness, but now it has finally become a reality, how can he not be relieved by his old feelings.

"Uh, don't you want me to keep a low profile? Everyone knows about such a big move. Chen Fang reminded weakly.

"First the expedition, then the anti-terrorism, every time you are the most in the limelight, you still want to keep a low profile? Since you can't hide it, you might as well show your edge. It was not my idea to award you the Order of Augar, the Cabinet does not have this right, it is proposed by the royal family, and the Cabinet is just an execution. I've asked someone to inquire, and it seems to be related to Abdino, do you know? The Secretary of State smiled.

"There was a one-sided relationship, in Rock County." Chen Fang was enlightened.

"That's right, Abdino is a member of the royal family. This person has never had a good impression of bureaucrats, and this initiative to award you the Order of Augar is also beyond everyone's expectations. In any case, your favor with the royal family is worth celebrating. There are three forces that cannot be ignored in the Auga Empire, the first is from the power of the big family, the second is from the people, and the third is from the royal family. The three forces contain each other and form a relative democracy. The power of the people is the strongest, but they are also the most blind, easily at the mercy of others, and cannot form a joint force. The royal family is the weakest, but the influence on the people is huge, and the combination of these two forces is enough to compete with the big family. You are a hero in the fight against terrorism, and you are deeply supported by the people, and Abdino proposed to award you the Order of Augar, which probably also represents the position of the royal family, and you are a member of a large family, and you are the first of the three forces to support you at the same time. The Secretary of State patted his grandson on the shoulder.

"So?" Chen Fang had a bad premonition.

"You have not only won the Order of Augar, but you are ranked sixth among the top ten people of the year in the Empire. Except for you, the rest of the people are either political darlings or stars in the entertainment industry. This is still in the case that you don't build momentum, you don't canvass for votes, in addition, if you have a noble identity, the ranking can still rise, although it is a boring selection made by a gossip organization, but it can show your popularity, such a hot popularity does not participate in the election, it seems too wasteful. The secretary of state patted his grandson on the shoulder.

"Leave me alone, politicians are not people's work, didn't one parliamentarian say that if you have a little human touch left, you can't be a good politician, I don't want to lose my human touch. Running for parliamentarians is nothing more than making some political capital and gilding, and with that sin, I might as well go to my father-in-law and become a battalion commander. In the army, the official title is the law, as Lu Beiyan's son-in-law, below is the emperor of the soil, and there is a cover above, which seems to be not bad.

"Battalion commander, it's a shame that this veteran ruffian opened his mouth. If you want to become a politician, you have to take a long-term view, you have to be ambitious, what's the use of fighting for a legislature, you don't know that the general election is in full swing right now, and it's still too late. The Secretary of State had an unfathomable look on his face, and before he knew it, the old man was engaged in his work.

"You have a lot of faith in me." Even people who have never cared about politics can feel the atmosphere of the election campaign from the overwhelming propaganda, and one can imagine how fierce the competition is, not to mention that Chen Fang has a subordinate of the director of the CIA.

"So popularity is very important, you are a hero against terrorism, you have been in the limelight recently, you are young, you look good, you can definitely be welcomed, and then there is the propaganda offensive, just now, all the citizens of the Augar Empire met you in the short film of the awards, this is the real record of your award, it is far better than paying money for publicity, you look at the many people who participated in the campaign, who has you who are blessed? I bet you'll be the favourite as soon as you announce your candidacy. "The Secretary of State is swearing.

"When it comes to running for the head of state, being young is indeed an advantage, but you can't be too young, who can trust a person in his early twenties, I haven't heard of anyone running for office before the age of thirty, grandpa, have you drunk too much? Kidding around with me? Chen Fang cried.

"Have you ever seen me joking? That's because they don't have enough leverage before they are thirty years old, they don't have enough capital to win the trust of others, and I have never seen anyone under the age of seventy receive the Order of Augar, and as a politician you must believe that anything is possible. Grandpa glared at his grandson, then swallowed all the wine in his cup.

"Whatever, anyway, the empire is ruled by a few of your important ministers, and it makes no difference who is the head of state." Indeed, his grandfather's decision will never change, let alone joke, and Chen Fang no longer insists. If you want to take over the position of the head of the Chen family, you must be capable and have enough chips, and having served as the head of the empire is definitely the heaviest chip, although this position is just a puppet, but it is absolutely dazzling.

"Put the cart before the horse! Listen to me, the Führer of the past was indeed a role at the mercy of others, but from this term, starting with you, it is no more! The Augar Empire is on the verge of a catastrophe and needs an iron-fisted head who can turn the tide. As I said earlier, there are three kinds of power in the Auga Empire, and the person who masters these three powers is the real master of the empire, and this person is you, and only you can do it, and our old guys are just your auxiliaries. When people reach my age, they often think about life, what they have done right, what they have done wrong, and whether their efforts are meaningful? Life is only 100 years, what if you win the head of the family? To be able to save the country from danger and be a person who changes history, the position of the head of the family is not enough to worry about, of course, if you do this, the position of the head of the family must also be yours. The fate of the Chen family has always been closely linked to the Aojia Empire, and it is precisely because of this that the Chen family has an unbreakable status. Your surname is Chen, and you are not only responsible for the Chen family, but also responsible for the Aojia Empire, and in this regard, Chen Bowei and I have the same understanding. "The Secretary of State looked excited, and although he has done a lot over the years, it has been more of a compromise, and at best, he is a good Secretary of State. There are many things that the Secretary of State cannot do, even if he has a monopoly on power, and to change the status quo of the Empire, he needs a real and responsive Führer.

After the banquet, in his grandfather's office, Chen Fang saw what it means to be a hundred responses.

Director of National Security, Director of the CIA, Director of Investigation, these are all familiar faces, no need to introduce, when they see Chen Fang, they all smile in understanding, in addition, there are more than ten new faces, needless to say, these people are all supporting Chen Fang's position, and they are doing their best to support them.

"When you become the head of the Empire, these people will be members of your cabinet." Grandpa sat on the chair and explained calmly that it was uncommon to remove the cabinet list in advance, and to make such an arrangement, on the one hand, because Chen Fang was very sure of winning the election, and on the other hand, these people were carefully selected, capable, backgrounded, and influential, and they were included in the cabinet list in advance, so that they could support their grandson desperately.

As my grandfather said, Chen has unparalleled popularity among the people, and the Chen family is the overlord of the big family, plus the support of the royal family, it is difficult for such a person to lose the election.

Even so, the means still have to be used, and it is the next policy to show up to solicit votes, and the people are tired of seeing it. The Secretary of State's instruction is to use marriage, first of all, to announce Chen Fang's identity in a high-profile manner, Chen Sangongzi's wedding with the flower of the empire will definitely attract the attention of the public, and Chen Fang will once again show it in front of the people of the Aojia Empire, which is the best policy.

Chen Gongzi doesn't like to canvass for votes in a low voice, and the trivial work was handed over to his grandfather, and his main task at the moment is to find Lu Lingxue.

"I've been engaged for more than ten years, and you're still proposing? Wouldn't you just say hello to the Lu family, and you still have to be so solemn? Hearing that he was going to propose in public, Chen Fang shook his head again and again.

"Say hello? Boy, marriage is a big event once in your life, you are once, and the daughter of the Lu family is also once, is it too hasty to say hello? Looking at your virtue, you will inevitably be like me in the future, and from time to time you will go hunting in foreign lands. "The secretary of state has a wicked smile on his face, don't look at his grandson is excellent in all aspects, after all, he is still young, he is young and shallow, and he does not understand many things.

"Hunting." Chen Fang frowned, it took a long time to come to his senses, and said seriously: "I'm not a person who cares, and I have a mercenary errand." ”

After a whole night of ideological struggle, at dawn, Chen Fang drove to Lu's house.

"Brother-in-law." The goblin had seen him from afar and trotted all the way.

My brother-in-law has called out and proposed? I hope Lu Lingxue is so happy, Chen thought secretly, dealt with a few sentences casually, and asked, "What about your sister?" ”

"As soon as we met, I said that I was looking for my sister, what do you owe me for the gift? I won't see you without a gift. "The little goblin was put on a side by him in Rock County, and the alienation of people and land has only been reined in, and now it is her territory, so it is strange not to take the opportunity to retaliate.

"What gift?" Chen Fang couldn't help but be stunned, it was normal to buy a gift for his sister-in-law, how could he owe her.

"You said last time you were going to give me a better gun." The goblins don't give up.

"Next time." Chen Fang sweated wildly, she was just fooling children at the beginning, and when she said it casually, who knew that she would take it seriously. The gun is not worth much, and it doesn't hurt to send her as much as possible, the question is, what should I do if I hit someone?

"Why not now." Leprechauns are not easy to deceive.

"Don't look for it, have you heard of anyone who visited his father-in-law's house with a gun?" Chen Fang couldn't cry or laugh.

Where is the goblin willing to follow, insisting on searching him again before he is willing to let go.

Finally got rid of the little goblin, Chen Fang encountered a smiling mother-in-law again, her husband and son went on the expedition together, Lu Lingxue is a daughter after all, the only thing she can rely on is her son-in-law, Chen Fang sent the goblin home safely, and did not disappoint her.

Once the woman chatted, it was endless, an hour passed in a blink of an eye, and finally, Lu Lingxue appeared at the corner of the stairs, and Chen Fang had a feeling of the rest of his life.

"You young people speak." The mother-in-law also realized that she talked too much, and let Chen Fang go with a smile.

In order to find a convenient place to talk, he pulled Lu Lingxue all the way to the kitchen, Chen Fang cautiously looked out of the door, and was relieved to make sure that there was no one around.

"What the hell are you doing? You seem to have been drinking. Lu Lingxue was obviously not used to this atmosphere.

"I drank some before I came here, and I was brave." Chen Fang rummaged through his pockets, but couldn't find the ring.

"What the hell are you going to do? What are you looking for again? Lu Lingxue asked curiously.

"Forget it, I'm here to propose." Chen Fang simply gave up his efforts.

"If you're a woman, and there's a man who drinks early in the morning and runs to your house, sneakily pulls you to the kitchen, and then proposes to you, can you accept it?" Lu Lingxue asked rhetorically.

"I'm prepared and sincere." Chen Fang was full of grievances.

"Sincerity, at the very least, should there be flowers for the proposal?" Lu Lingxue reminded.

With the relationship between the two, it doesn't matter if the steps of the marriage proposal are omitted, but since it has been done, it should not be perfunctory, and it is too bad to admit it without flowers, and to propose in the kitchen.

"What flowers are eclipsed in front of you." Chen Fang tried his best to squeeze out a smile, and finally surrendered obediently: "Okay, I forgot it in the car, if you don't believe it, I'll take you to see it." ”

There are flowers in the car, but it's not that I forgot it, Chen Fang was embarrassed to take it out.

"Where's the ring? Forgot in the car too? Lu Lingxue seemed to understand what he was looking for just now.

"I'm not sure, maybe it was snatched by your sister." Chen Fang's innocent explanation.

"It's a shame that she still likes you so much, she talks about your good all day long, and urges me to ask you to play, and you actually use her as a shield." Just as Lu Lingxue was looking disgusted and teaching her fiancé a lesson, there was a protest from the goblin in the living room.

"I'm not a puppy love, the ring was given to me by my brother-in-law!"
