In the end, Earl Kazlier met with Mr. Truman. The two talked for a while, but reached no definite result.
Later, after hearing from his secretary that Earl Kazlier had been referred by Lin Qi, he moved the earl's appointment slightly forward.
Now that the day's work was over, he suddenly remembered the matter and wanted to ask Lin Qi about his relationship with the man.
Lin Qi did not avoid the subject and mentioned their past relationship.
"We're ordinary friends. He supported my work in the past, so I returned the favor by making a call to arrange an appointment for him."
"He's a factor you don't need to consider at all. I've already repaid what I owed him."
At the time, Lin Qi had promoted Women's Professional Sports to give himself a layer of feminist cover, along with various other economic and political demands.
In short, Earl Kazlier had indeed helped him a great deal back then. Without Earl Kazlier pushing the matter forward, it would not have been resolved so easily.
That was why, in the Federation, a person could be without anything—but they absolutely could not be without money.
Without money, everything would be extremely difficult.
But if you had money, you would discover that everyone around you was not only a good person, but that everything seemed to become extremely simple as well! After hearing this, Mr. Truman understood, but he had not called Lin Qi about that matter.
Sometimes people were simply like that. When they wanted to say something to someone else, they would pick up the phone without getting straight to the point.
Instead, they would first ask about the other person's recent situation or inquire about something else, then slowly steer the conversation toward the real subject.
