Suddenly Noble

"Someone from the State Office just called me; they want to know more details as soon as possible..."

President Irene's expression turned serious. Less than 24 hours had passed since yesterday, and the State Office not only knew about it but also seemed very concerned about it.

Without a doubt, they were not trying to acknowledge the outstanding contributions of the Sabine City Women's Rights Protection Association, but rather to steal the credit that rightfully belonged to them.

Job opportunities are incredibly important; financial independence and freedom are the guarantees of Women's Rights, independence, and freedom, a fact that has already been proven.

If a woman cannot achieve financial independence, it will be difficult for her to break free from the important role that men play in her life. She will remain an appendage to a man unless she can prove that she can live well without a man, which, in terms of material needs, means achieving financial independence.

They talk about these things all day long, advocating for society to provide more job opportunities for women, but this cannot be achieved all at once.

Many of the major jobs are not suitable for women, such as heavy physical labor, and there are not many jobs that women can participate in.

With the current economic downturn and high unemployment rate, women face an even more awkward position in the workplace.

At this very moment, the emergence of hundreds, thousands, or even more job positions specifically for women is definitely big news. It could even shake the position of the state's Women's Rights Protection Association. No wonder the State Office is very nervous and wants to know more about the inside story.

"I didn't agree to their request..." Irene, standing by the window, looked through the bright light at the girls of all ages gathered below, a smile appearing on her face. "This is our victory."

With the support of these people and the thousands or more job opportunities Lin Qi mentioned, coupled with the sudden tension from the State Office, Irene realized that she might have a chance to take the next step.

Although the Women's Rights Protection Association is not an official organization in the strict sense, but a non-governmental, non-profit, and spontaneous civil society organization, it still possesses considerable power and influence.

Even some Noble Lady, socialites, and wives of politicians are members of this association, which gives you an idea of its political influence.

Although it is not an official organization, it is not much different from an official one.

From being the president of a second-tier city association, he has been promoted to an important position in the State Office, and may even be promoted to the association headquarters in the future, thus embarking on a new journey.

This is an important resource, and she will absolutely not let it go!

She glanced down at her watch; it was almost ten o'clock. After speaking with the State Office, she immediately called Lin Qi, hoping to meet and talk with Lin Qi.

On the one hand, it was to clear up the small misunderstanding between them that didn't exist, and on the other hand, it was to bring Lin Qi into their camp, so that he wouldn't be swayed by a few words from those bastards in the State Office.

Everyone needs supporters, and she needs them too.

"We want..."

Just as she was mobilizing these people, there was a knock on the office door, and a young girl stood outside with a flushed face. "Mr. Lin Qi has arrived..."

Irina was slightly taken aback. She was about to say that she hadn't seen Lin Qi's car yet and wondered how Lin Qi got here, but she quickly gave up on that question. Meeting Lin Qi was more important than figuring out how he got here.

"Let...no, let him in!" Irene straightened her clothes and walked behind the desk, and the other ladies also stood up.

About twenty seconds later, Lin Qi walked in from outside the door. It has to be said that a handsome young man instantly made the women in the room feel very fond of him.

Especially President Irene, her expression, in addition to the normal expressions one would expect, also showed a kind of surprise, the kind of surprise an elder would show when looking at children.

Lin Qi's appearance is deceptive, but what's even more frightening is that he doesn't try to prove his abilities far exceed his looks like an ordinary child.

There are always some children like this, whose minds seem to be not quite right. They always want to prove that their excellence has nothing to do with their appearance, but they ignore the fact that appearance is also a part of their excellence.

He never had such thoughts. Decades of social experience made him clearly realize that anything that can help him is a good thing.

Whether it's good looks or a sweet tongue, he doesn't mind attaching these labels to himself as long as they can bring him enough benefits.

In order to interact with the ladies in this room today, Lin Qi specially changed his look to make himself look younger.

"This is Ms. Irene, the president of the local Women's Rights Protection Association..." After being introduced by Conner (the male lawyer who suddenly had a name), Lin Qi greeted the others and stood in front of the desk.

He always had a smile on his face, and warmly extended his hand to shake hands with Ms. Irene. His smile was so clean and pure, as if he were not one of those capitalists people imagined.

At least capitalists rarely have such a clean smile; their smiles are usually ugly and filthy.

"You are very kind..." Lin Qi added, "Seeing you reminded me of some elders..." He paused, a look of nostalgia appearing on his face, but he quickly wiped it away. "I'm sorry, Ms. Irene, I was lost in thought."

Lin Qi's absent-mindedness didn't displease President Irene in the slightest. She smiled warmly, "To keep your elders in your heart at all times shows you're a good child..." She looked at Lin Qi, her face also full of smiles, "I'm sorry, my child is probably about your age, I shouldn't have said that to you..."

She meant that Lin Qi shouldn't be called a "child," since Lin Qi is a very important resource and a businessman, not just a child.

Lin Qi, however, seemed completely unperturbed. He held President Irene's hand tightly and said, "It's alright. I can do many things well enough, but I can never catch up with an elder in terms of age. Calling me a 'child' is a right that time and years have bestowed upon you, Ms. Irene!"

"What a Little Gentleman ..." President Irene was even happier. She let go of his hand and invited Lin Qi to sit down. "The main reason I invited you here today is to resolve some minor unpleasantness and misunderstandings that occurred between us yesterday."

Lin Qi slightly raised his hand to interrupt President Irene. If an adult man did this, and if he was even less attractive, she might think it was an inherent disrespect from men towards women.

But when a young, handsome Little Gentleman, whom she treated like her own child, did this, President Irene showed no displeasure whatsoever. Instead, she smiled and looked at him, wanting to know what he had to say.

Lin Qi first apologized for his rude behavior and received President Irene's forgiveness. Then he smiled and said, "Since this is a misunderstanding, let's put it behind us. Let's not let it continue to occupy our minds and control our emotions. Let's talk about serious matters."

"Very wise words..."

A group of women stared in disbelief at President Irene, whom they didn't recognize at all, as if they were meeting her for the first time. They watched as the young and handsome Lin Qi chatted and laughed across a desk.
