Who Should Envy Whom

Double standards have always existed. Since the feudal period, people have been deeply aware of the benefits of double standards, especially for rulers.

Lin Qi doesn't have the weight to use double standards yet. In the eyes of the mayor, he is still too immature. Even if he can make the business as big as he said, he doesn't have the weight to use double standards.

For things like "《Minimum Wage Law》", "《Employment Act》", and "《Workers' Rights Protection Act》", even the most powerful capitalists are unwilling to change them easily. It's not that they don't have the ability, but that the costs and consequences of changing these things are too serious.

The little Lin Qi actually wanted to change something. This made the mayor's frown suddenly relax, and there was even a smile on his face. After all, he was still a young man.

He doesn't understand this world at all, and he doesn't know that he needs to be in awe when facing this seemingly simple world.

However, this kind of momentum is very touching, and it makes the mayor recall that when he just graduated, he wanted to change the world. But now, he is in his forties, but he is still just a mayor.

Maybe he can eventually reach the position of governor, but this is still far from the "arrogant" dream of his youth.

Everyone has had such moments, but reality will teach them how to face the world correctly.

Thinking of this, the mayor may have been moved by some emotion. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip. The process of sobering up had actually started before the two of them arrived at the restaurant. The ice cubes in the dry ice bucket ensured that the wine was at the most suitable drinking temperature. At the same time, the full contact of the wine with the air made its astringent taste so weak that it could no longer be felt.

A bottle of good wine. The mayor raised his eyebrows when he put down the glass. At this time, when he looked at the bright red wine in the glass, he was not as disgusted as before.

It was actually a very interesting and complicated thing to have so many psychological changes in a very short period of time. He didn't want to think about it too much and focused his attention on other places.

"Compared to this, I have an idea. I wonder if you would like to listen to it?" Being a good teacher is always something in people's bones. In fact, by imparting some knowledge and experience to others to support one's own greater vanity is the true essence of being a good teacher.

It's an instinct, but the consequences aren't bad, so that's a good thing.

Lin Qi nodded slightly, and the mayor continued, "I suggest you donate a sum of money to the university, and then go back to school..." He paused, and then explained, "What I mean is that you need some connections of your own. This is the advice I give you."

"There are nine top private universities in Federal. These universities were once donated and established by a private organization called Saint and Harmony Society. If you can become a student of these nine universities, you will have access to the top resources of Federal."

"If you can become an alternate member of Saint and Harmony Society, or even become a formal member of Saint and Harmony Society..." The mayor smiled, with an indescribable weirdness behind his smile, "Then congratulations, you will be with Federal Governors of most states, senior leaders of the three political parties, His Excellency the President, Cabinet Member, Lifetime Justice and other people who can determine the direction of this society have become alumni, and even belong to Saint and Harmony Society members."

The mayor's emotion may come from his emotion about the momentum in Lin Qi. He was once such a boy, but now his edges have been chipped away by time and reality, and he has become more realistic.

So he wanted to give Lin Qi some life advice. If he had been willing to lower his head and choose someone he didn't like in exchange for attending Saint and Harmony Society Alliance's school, maybe he would be the governor now.

The governor of this state is about the same age as him, but the other party is already the governor and occupies a very important position in the party. All this is because he, the leader of Progressive Party, and the senior officials are all from Saint and Harmony Society.

This is a way to get promoted quickly. People are willing to give him a chance because they are all alumni and members of the alliance, but they are unwilling to give the mayor a chance because he does not have the school badge of the nine major universities.

Lin Qi nodded in agreement and kept the matter in mind, and the next topic became much more relaxed. Lin Qi stopped discussing his two big troubles, and the mayor did not continue to be an annoying teacher. They started to talk about some fashionable things and things related to life.

"I heard that your friends are planning to shoot a movie in Sabine City. Let them contact Social Services Bureau. At that time, Social Services Bureau will come forward to coordinate some work and make the shooting smoother." The mayor said as he talked about what Fox and his son were doing recently.

They didn't know where they got a script, and they thought the script was good. Plus they had some money, so they decided to turn the script into a movie.

In fact, both ordinary people and people who have realized their self-worth will have an impulsive desire to spend money, as if money is hot and putting it in the bank will make people feel uncomfortable. Only spending money can make people satisfied.

Especially the moment when I spend money, the joy... is simply beyond words.

Lin Qi really hadn't heard of this matter, but that didn't stop him from dealing with it with the mayor, "I heard that every place has some subsidies for filming?"

This is also a common practice. For example, Bayer Federation, people mainly shoot movies in the two major film and television cities. On the one hand, these cities have very good supporting work, and at the same time, many places similar to movie theaters have been built to facilitate filming.

The second is the local subsidy policy. Shooting movies in these two cities can get more subsidies, including tax exemptions. This is what really attracts those film workers.

But this does not mean that other cities have given up their efforts in this area, especially the rulers in the City Hall. A movie can drive more passengers than people imagine, and it is very helpful in improving the overall cultural environment of a city, so every city still retains the subsidy policy.

The mayor pursed his lips, "Sometimes I feel that you don't look like a twenty-year-old young man at all. Your friends are not as smart as you."

He means that Fox and his son have never thought of contacting Social Services Bureau until now. If they contact Social Services Bureau, not only will the official come forward to coordinate part of the work, but they can also help them apply for subsidies.

An old guy who has been in society for more than 20 years doesn't know, but a young man who has only been out of school for two years knows what's going on here. It's really surprising.

The mayor fiddled with the napkin on the table and said, "You know, the situation in the entire society is not good now, and City Hall's finances are also very tight, so the maximum subsidy can be no more than 100,000 yuan. However, the usage fees for all public facilities can be waived, and if road closures are needed, they can be negotiated."

The money is not a lot, but the important thing is not the money, but the mayor's attitude.

When filming a movie, it is often necessary to close a road or evacuate a certain building. There was once a famous filming team who wanted to film a scene of a road chase, a series of collisions, and a big explosion.

Citing "threat to public safety" as an excuse, the local government not only failed to provide convenience for them to use the already built urban ring road, but also requested a re-examination of the safety of their scripts.

In the end, the crew had no choice but to go to some abandoned remote countryside and use the existing abandoned roads to rebuild a road to shoot these scenes.

Money is secondary, but prolonging the movie's release time is the big problem.

As he spoke, the mayor coughed lightly and said calmly, "My little daughter likes watching movies very much. She was very excited when she heard that someone was going to film a movie locally. Do you think she can go to the scene and watch it, or play a cameo role?"

"Why not?"

Several problems were solved in one meal, and two problems remained unresolved. For the mayor, this meal was valuable. He and Lin Qi had a closer relationship, and at the same time, the problem of a thousand jobs was solved.

Yes, eight hundred turned into a thousand. Lin Qi did not refute. Everyone knew that this kind of thing was just talk. If he could do it, Lin Qi would do it. If he couldn't do it, it didn't matter.

But whether it is Lin Qi or Mayor, it seems that the two big troubles of Lin Qi have not been mentioned again, but neither of them has forgotten it. Maybe people will mention it again at some time.

After dinner, Lin Qi was a little curious. Instead of going home directly, he asked the driver to drive him to the place where Mr. Fox currently lives.

As soon as you enter the room, you can feel the artistic atmosphere of creation. A group of guys who obviously look like cultural people are surrounding the table and discussing some story details. Little Fox is also participating.

The arrival of Lin Qi made everyone stunned, but they quickly returned their attention to work.

Under the guidance of the servant, Lin Qi met old Mr. Fox on the open-air platform on the second floor. This Old Gentleman was playing cards with several elderly people of similar age. There were not many chips in front of him, but everyone was very happy.

"Wait a moment, it will be ready soon...", Mr. Fox nodded, and soon the game was over. These little old men looked at Lin Qi with some curiosity, and soon smiled and said goodbye to Mr. Fox after paying off their chips.

Watching these people leave, Mr. Fox breathed a sigh of relief, stood by the guardrail at the edge of the platform, patted the handrail with both hands, "This is life!"

He felt a little emotional, then looked back at Lin Qi, "Did you see it?"

Lin Qi nodded, "Of course, we all know that Mr. Fox is an old fox, especially when it comes to money, but this is also a kind of fun, at least it is healthy!"

Mr. Fox laughed loudly after hearing this, "I knew you could see through it at a glance. Sometimes I envy your parents for having such a smart child like you!"

Lin Qi didn't care very much, "I think they will be more envious of your wealth, Mr. Fox."

Some book friends asked how to add updates, please explain. The method of adding chapters to this book is based on "333 Bonus Chapter Principle". The total amount of rewards every month divided by the integer of 333 is the number of chapters to be added next month. The remaining reward amount less than 333 will be carried over to the next issue's bounty pool.

Among them, the alliance leader has an extra +2 (Naming Rights alone), silver has an extra +25 (Naming Rights alone), and the gold alliance is rejected.

The Naming Rights method is based on the reward ranking list in the monthly summary of each month. For example, if five additional chapters are added to the reward this month, the top four chapters will be individually Naming Rights ed by each of the four additional chapters, and the last chapter will be jointly Naming Rights ed by 5-10 people.

Having said so much, I mainly hope that everyone can just say whatever they want, and always leave some time for the author to play games.
