In September, the weather is not so dry, although it is still a little hot, but there is already a trace of chilling coolness in the wind.

Two new branches were established in quick succession and achieved good trading results, and Lynch began to instruct Richard to prepare for the second-hand goods auction in the state's capital, and as the interstellar trading company gradually appeared more and more frequently, Lynch reaped a great deal of wealth and prestige.

"Adelaide is the Governor's Chief of Staff and a relative of the Governor......"

Sitting in the car belonging to the mayor, the mayor is explaining to Lynch about the person they are going to meet next, and by the way, he also has to explain some things to Lynch to pay attention to.

The better Lynch's business is, the more successful the mayor's policies will be.

The more successful the mayor's policies became, the more prominent he would be within the state's Progressive Party, and it has been suggested that he would have a chance to run for governor.

This kind of opportunity is not available to every mayor, and the vast majority of mayors are unlikely to get such an opportunity, and they will most likely work as state legislators or congressmen until they retire, and some people can't even get these things, so they can only mix up party positions.

Pushing a politician to run for governor is not an easy task, and there are so many resources that no one other than those who are sure that the Progressives, the Conservatives, or the Socialists, who are always forgotten, will consider running for office.

The mayor may have this opportunity, but only if he pursues some policies, ideas and practices that are effective in making the city of Sabin, and the state, better than others in the face of economic difficulties, and if his policies are able to lead the movement of the whole federation.

Only in this way can his huge prestige and appearance rate make up for his most important shortcoming—he is not a member of the Holy Peace Order!

So he's now very reliant on Lynch, and the two of them ride together in his car to a small exchange meeting hosted by Adelaide, the governor's chief of staff.

The city of Sabin was not the only district in the entire state that was facing these problems that they had already encountered, but all the cities, and the governor's staff began to work, looking for solutions everywhere and then trying to find something that might succeed.

The reason why they didn't do it before was because they believed their brains could come up with the right solution.

The reason why they are doing it now is because they find that their brains are not as good as they thought they were.

Letting Adelaide go to Sabine was also instructed by the governor behind his back, at least the second-hand auction of second-hand goods in Sabine proved to be a good policy - there was a professional survey agency behind the questionnaire.

People often see some people taking questionnaires on the street to do surveys, answering questions and giving small gifts, these are the operators of professional survey agencies, each street questionnaire is worth at least 50 points, and more than one or two yuan (for different groups of people).

So the governor wondered if the mayor of Sabin, or his little buddy Lynch, had some other, more constructive ideas.

“...... Adelaide was born into a holy family, and he has a strong faith, although he often does things that he has no faith in!", the mayor casually sneered, and it was clear that he was not interested in Adelaide.

After the sarcasm, the mayor's tone became a little lower, "This is a very cunning man, he has a priest-like appearance, but don't be deceived by his appearance, he is a cunning fox." ”

Lynch sounded amused, "No offense, isn't there ...... between you", he shrugged his shoulders and supplemented the small movements in his hands, so that the mayor understood what he meant.

The mayor admitted with some embarrassment that this is the role of "value", and Lynch has this value, so they will be very close, and some more personal topics can be discussed.

But if one day Lynch is worthless, they will be like strangers outside the car window, they can both see each other, but neither of them looks at each other.

"He once proposed that I skip my current job and go to the state Senate to become a member of the Senate, and that wasn't out of any kind of pertinent suggestion, he just wanted his nephew to do what I was doing!"

The mayor said with a smile on his face, "But I won this game!"

He didn't talk about the cost of winning the game, which must have been very heavy.

He went on to say a few more Adelaide habits and details, and repeatedly told Lynch not to believe that bastard's bullshit, he was a liar.

In fact, everyone is a liar, but some people are still naïve, some people have deceived themselves, and those who can't go up are still struggling.

The meeting was held at a manor on the outskirts of Sabin, owned by a state senator, Mr. Green, a Progressive MP who took the job when Adelaide was coming to Sabin.

As the car was about to arrive at the manor, it suddenly rained heavily, which lowered the temperature a little and made Lynch, who was dressed up, feel a little cool.

In fact, his back is about to get wet with sweat, but in order to ensure that the wearer will not lose his dignity due to sweat, they will do some "hands and feet" on the pony clip, and the wet will always be the pony clip, but it will not affect the dress.

The well-timed rain also made the air cleaner, but of course the driver's experience may not have been so good, everything in the rain became a little blurry, and the speed of the car was much slower.

About ten minutes after the scheduled arrival time, the two arrived at the manor, and the housekeeper of the manor immediately asked the two guests, Lynch and Mayor Langdon, to go to their own guest room to repair it, and by the way, remind each other that because of the heavy rain, the exchange meeting was postponed to nine o'clock in the evening, and they still had about forty minutes to rest.

Unplanned heavy rain can make them a little embarrassed, so this time is not really for them to rest, to sleep, but to let them solve some problems that they need to solve.

For example, if the clothes are wet, there are special servants in the manor who can help the guests dry the clothes.

For example, there is a lot of mud on the shoes, and the servants can quickly help them deal with it.

Even socks stained with masonry and cuffs that are not so clean can be addressed before the meeting starts.

In fact, even if these problems are not solved, no one will say anything, and no one will sing in front of people in an opera-like tone, "Aha, look at that idiot's ass, is it mud or shit?"

But people always want to save their face, especially in some important occasions.

After Lynch and the maid arrived at the guest room, the maid asked if he needed to clean some of his clothes, Lynch thought about it for a while and took off his dress to see that there was no dust or rain on it, but his trouser legs were a little damp, but inconspicuous.

He changed his shoes and asked the maid to help him clean up the splatters of dirt from his shoes, and then sat in his room enjoying some snacks, some good coffee, and some newspapers.

After more than ten minutes, his shoes were returned, and the servants wiped them clean of dust, re-oiled them, and polished them in lambskin to make them look like new.

For the rest of the time, Lynch was reading the newspaper or watching TV, and after eight o'clock was the peak of TV program ratings, many people would choose to lie on the sofa at this time and eat cheap and beautiful things full of fat and sugar, pursuing rare spiritual enjoyment.

Lynch casually flipped through a few channels, and there was not much content related to the current situation, but several institutional sections of the "Transaction News" coincidentally increased the exchange risk of various war bonds, and the speed of deterioration of the situation was very fast.

Many people may feel that they have not bought war bonds, and this matter has nothing to do with them, and it is obviously not wrong to treat these things as isolated things.

But the question is how many isolated events exist in this world, and how many isolated events can be truly completely isolated?

Hard!

Lynch walked to the window, and the earth and sky in the distance were one color, and in the heavy rain it was impossible to distinguish where the sky was and where was the earth, they were all pitch black, swallowing all the light.

At 8:50, the butler personally knocked on the door, suggesting that Lynch's exchange meeting would be held in the manor's conference room later, and arranged for a special person to lead Lynch there.

As he walked through the long hallway, Lynch noticed some oil paintings hanging on the walls of the hallway, which he didn't know much about, but he could see that they weren't cheap.

Art is resonant because true art itself is an expression of emotions.

It can be seen that Congressman Green is not just a member of parliament, he is also very rich.

In the conference room, Lynch said hello to the mayor, and the two sat in the first row, because today they were the protagonists of the protagonists.

At nine o'clock and one o'clock, very punctually, when the seconds slipped past fifty-nine seconds and the minute hand moved forward a little, the door to the conference room opened again, and a smiling, silver-haired man walked in from outside the room.

He wears relatively modest clothes, and sensually he is more of a teacher than a politician, and there is not much in common between the two.

One is to teach and educate people, to tell people about the necessity of pursuing the truth and to teach them how to do so.

One is to play tricks and make up some stories as much as possible to satisfy their own interests.

But they are very contradictory in this person, and Mr. Adelaide is, as the mayor would say, like a priest, or a teacher, who can make people let their guard down.
