An Unexpected Opportunity

If there had been no external interference, and the story between Bennett and the stripper Annie had simply happened between the two of them, then perhaps this story could have become one of the countless treasures buried under the sands of history.

Many years later, perhaps people will have the opportunity to let the public know about this story full of warmth and redemption through a diary or other people's oral accounts.

Filmmakers will love this subject matter. They can use the phrase "based on a true story" to draw countless young men and women and middle-aged men into the cinema, making them shed tears or laugh, and of course, empty their wallets.

Many years later, when people compile a list of all the classic films of the past century, it is likely that it will be one that most filmmakers cannot ignore—"Annie's Redemption".

if...

There aren't so many "what ifs." If there were, the world would have been perfect long ago.

The plan proceeded smoothly. Qiao Geliman did not show any anticipation, arrogance, or any other attitude. He simply became more low-key than before. He even told his department that he had been sick recently and that he would not object to handing the materials directly to Mr. Bennett, as he would not object to Mr. Bennett's signature on the documents.

Qiao Geliman's "concessions" in the workplace, coupled with Qiao Geliman new cohabitation with Annie, suddenly ignited a new fighting spirit and passion in Bennett, this middle-aged man.

He held absolute power at work, and people had even forgotten that their real boss was Qiao Geliman; they only had eyes for Bennett.

In life, he brought the girl to another level. He would teach her the etiquette of Upper Class, take her to buy exquisite clothes, and take her on a boat ride on the river to enjoy the delicacies carefully prepared by the chef.

He felt his youth had returned, and he had never felt so good in his life. He never knew he still possessed such vitality.

It turns out that those things from our youth haven't disappeared; they've just been hidden away, waiting to reappear when the time is right.

It was during these seemingly peaceful days that Gepu, who had disappeared for some time, surrendered to the police, becoming the final straw that broke the camel's back for the Listoan Group.

During this time, Gepu thought about many things. He worked for farmers in the countryside—he made up an excuse to tell them about his miserable experiences, and the kind farmers took him in, but he had to work.

During this time, he had been pondering a question: should he hide and wait for things to calm down before quietly returning, or should he turn himself in to the police directly?

After much deliberation, he decided to turn himself in. As long as he lived, the fact that the Listoan Group had altered its books would remain a threat to them. Regardless of whether Neo became the group's president in the future, they would not allow someone who could easily cause a company worth hundreds of millions to decline to live. Eliminating him had become the fundamental requirement for Listoan's continued existence.

In this situation, he had no choice, so turning himself in was the best option.

He may face a long prison sentence, but at least he is safe.

The already precarious situation made great progress thanks to Mr. Key's voluntary surrender. Even the mayor had a smile on his face and became more agreeable.

Suddenly, things seemed to go smoothly. In the first collective meeting of the first month of the new year, Congress passed the Impeachment Proposal against the president by a large majority for the second time. The fact that the process had reached this point already foreshadowed a new era for the Federal.

According to the requirements of the Federal Charter, once Congress passes two large votes to impeach the president, the president and his Presidential Cabinet must complete the handover within two weeks and then orderly withdraw from the Presidential Palace.

The Vice President and the First Chief Officer or Vice Minister of various departments will then serve as Cabinet Member, forming a provisional Presidential Cabinet.

In other words, the president has less than two weeks left in office.

The entire Bu Peien and even the entire Federal were immersed in a sea of joy. Early in the morning, Lin Qi was awakened by the noisy singing outside before he had even woken up.

He rubbed his eyes and sat up in bed. He glanced at the small clock on the bedside table. It was only a little past six. People had just received their newspapers and confirmed the news again from them. Many people spontaneously took to the streets and began a strange carnival.

People held hands and sang "Long Live the Free Federation" in the streets, as if the president's resignation would change the current situation facing the Federal.

After exercising, Lin Qi sat down at a table in the restaurant, eating his food while watching TV.

The television broadcast footage of last night's parliamentary session. After multiple rounds of voting and various shady tactics, the resolution was finally passed in a second plenary vote.

The person on the podium excitedly read out the results, announcing in front of everyone that the impeachment of the president had been successful...

The scene then shifts to a somewhat unfamiliar person appearing on television. This person, who doesn't have much of a presence in the eyes of many, is the Vice President of the Progressive Party.

However, he was very lucky, and soon he would become the second president in the Federal to suffer a crushing defeat in the election but still be able to move into the Presidential Palace and form Presidential Cabinet.

Watching the new president deliver his passionate speech on television soon, Lin Qi could already sense a peculiar atmosphere: a brand new, yet also barbaric and cruel era was about to begin.

Over the next few days, everything seemed to be developing rapidly under the impetus of some great will, with people both cursing the Conservative Party President's stupidity and dreaming about the future.

The biggest change is that after the new president formed his cabinet, many countries sent congratulatory messages, saying that the appointment of the "President of Destiny" was God's choice, the Federal's choice, and the People's Choice...

In short, this atmosphere really boosted the morale of the Federal society during this period of continuous economic decline. Even the Byler Federal Industrial Index showed an increase for the first time after a continuous decline, which relieved those who were worried about the complete collapse of the Financial Market.

Immediately after the new president took office, a lot of good news came out. It seemed that the Federal, which had been isolated from the world, was suddenly integrated into the new world again because of the new president's rise to power.

Some countries have placed orders with the Federal, and some countries have opened up Free Trade to the Federal. In fact, the Presidential Cabinet has even established a brand new department and abolished the previous Foreign Trade Approval Office for this purpose.

This new department is called the International Affairs Trade Department. To a certain extent, its functions overlap with those of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, while it also controls the Federal's power to approve foreign trade.

Everything seems to be getting better.

In the latter half of the month, the mayor arranged to meet with Lin Qi. After they met, the mayor looked at Lin Qi with a strange expression, as if he was envious and somewhat sentimental.

After a long pause, he sighed, "You're lucky. The president will be hosting a party celebration next month, and many important party figures will be there. You're among the invitees."

This question startled Lin Qi, who had maintained his composure throughout. He quickly recovered and, instead of being overjoyed, asked a question, "Why?"

The president couldn't possibly know someone as insignificant as him, and he also believed that no one would be so kind as to give him this opportunity. There must have been something he didn't know about that led to his invitation.

The mayor shook his head slightly. "I've spoken with the governor about what you said..." Seeing that Lin Qi hadn't quite grasped the point, he offered a brief reminder, "What you told me was that the Federal should shoulder more International Community responsibility!"

Lin Qi nodded upon hearing this, stating that taking on more International Community was the simplest and most effective way to enhance the Federal's distinctive image in the International Community.

Some countries may be weak, but people know about them and don't reject them because of their activity in the International Community, which is what the Federal currently lacks the most.

Although people have accepted the Federal's integration into the international community and increased interaction, they still don't know much about the Federal, and these issues must be changed to improve Federal current situation.

"If you watched the president's speech carefully, you would have noticed that he also raised this point."

"The governor submitted it to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a document as advice on international affairs, and then the president thought the word was good, so he used it."

Sometimes, people's luck is truly admirable; it's something that hard work can't achieve. The mayor hadn't expected Lin Qi to be able to participate, while he, as the head of a city, wasn't even qualified to go!

"But you don't need to worry too much. This invitation is just based on some practical need..." For politicians, they can confuse many things: black and white, fairness, morality, ethics, law, social order...

There are almost nothing they cannot confuse, but there are some things they cannot and dare not confuse: their political stance and political platform.

The president's statement came from the governor's documents, and part of the governor's documents that the president quoted came from Lin Qi, so he invited people he didn't know at all to his celebrations to show others that he had always followed those rules.

He would not take away other people's political programs and make them his own, nor would he take away other people's political theories and achievements. He would respect everyone's thoughts and decisions, which is in line with his status and only in this way can his style be reflected.

As for whether he will have a brief exchange with Lin Qi? Who knows!
