School's Opening Day

Rui Ka looked up at Lin Qi, and Lin Qi looked back at him.

The idea of bringing more of the High Priest's family members to the Federal was actually decided from the beginning. Of course, this was definitely not because Lin Qi wanted to control the High Priest by controlling his family.

While it's possible to do so, it's unnecessary!

No matter how great the High Priest's influence was, no matter how many people he could incite to resist the Federal's large-scale development, he could not withstand the baptism of bullets.

Moreover, Lin Qi had many ways to prevent these things from happening, and he did so purely because he felt that he would have a good working relationship with this family in the future.

As a kind and responsible person, Lin Qi would naturally arrange everything for the other party so that they could work without any worries.

Rui Ka, however, did not quite understand Lin Qi's thoughts and sentiments. His eyes showed some pain, and he had struggled, but eventually calmed down in numbness.

"I will help you persuade my father..." His words stopped there as if he hadn't finished speaking.

Lin Qi nodded slightly. "Tell me your request. As long as it's not excessive, I will consider granting it."

Rui Ka didn't seem too excited. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I want to join the Federal."

Lin Qi spread his hands. "You're already here. If you hadn't had our permission, you would have been deported the day after you set foot here. The fact that you're doing well here is enough to prove that you're one of us."

Rui Ka shook her head. "That's not enough. What I want is for me to Bayer Federation, to become a true Federal citizen, and for all the money in my account to be legal."

The conditions he proposed weren't actually excessive; it was just citizenship. Every year, many people become citizens, and people only care about how many people will compete with them for their jobs. They never know that many more people are actually denied Federal citizenship.

His experience living here during this period taught him that in this place, money is omnipotent. No matter how strange or unusual a person's ideas are, as long as they have money, they can definitely achieve them.

If it hasn't been achieved, it's definitely not because money is no longer omnipotent, but because not enough money has been invested in this area.

This place is freer than other places, with a free and open environment and a social law that money can do everything. Rui Ka really doesn't want to leave.

Once he can become Federal citizen, he will be able to do many things that he cannot do now.

For example, preaching on television.

To be honest, before coming to the Federal, Rui Ka never imagined that something as sacred as religion could be brought to television, and that preaching and activities could be carried out on television in a proper manner. What he couldn't believe was that people actually believed in it! In a state with millions or tens of millions of people, even if only Ten Thousandth of them became his followers through television preaching, he could live a very comfortable life here.

For example, investing in politicians is what he wants to do most right now.

By donating money to politicians, one can obtain a tailor-made protection plan, expand one's influence, and even later use that influence to interfere with politicians' decisions.

Look at those church patriarchs; each of them lives like a King! There are many examples like this; for instance, they can purchase various Social Insurance and commercial Medical Insurance...

However, most of these "examples" only apply if the person is a legal citizen of the country. Non-citizens are prohibited from donating to politicians and from giving any religious speeches on television.

Even with Social Insurance and commercial insurance, the premiums paid are much higher than others, while the benefits are not as plentiful.

He is not a Federal citizen, but a foreigner who has obtained permanent residency status and seems to be no different from a citizen.

Lin Qi nodded slowly. This slow nodding gave the person making the request a false sense of security, such as "the other party agreed very reluctantly" or "this is not something that can be decided easily."

Sometimes it doesn't actually happen, but the effect is the same.

With Lin Qi's agreement, Rui Ka breathed a sigh of relief and seemed more relaxed. "When do we leave?"

"A boat ticket for the morning of September 3rd..."

The reason it was scheduled for September 3rd was because Lin Qi was to speak on behalf of the new students on September 2nd. The orientation activities for new students are a very important tradition for every school, and even though Lin Qi already had a great reputation, he still couldn't refuse.

It's important to know that a small percentage of those who graduate from this school will eventually become one of the top 5% of people in the country after they reach adulthood.

Except for a very few who lose their opportunities halfway through for various reasons, most are very stable.

The other group of students who cannot become the top 5% will become the top 10% of the 95%, serving the top 5% and remaining the backbone of Upper Class.

This is why, given the chance, Middle Class families will go to great lengths, even if it means incurring huge debts, to get their children into the Saint and Harmony Society Federal's schools—if their children are truly outstanding.

Once they achieve this, it's equivalent to giving their children a bright future. Their children will be qualified to serve the true ruling class, and even if it's just serving the ruling class, that's a height that many people can only dream of.

So Lin Qi couldn't refuse, not to mention he took the initiative to do it.

At 8:30 a. m. on September 2, the Saint Secheka College became lively again after a quiet summer vacation.

The guards, who had been slacking off during the entire holiday, put on their brand-new uniforms and showed their best spirits. Even the cleaning staff worked very hard.

There were many cars parked outside the college gate, but none of them were allowed to enter the college. Even the President had to get out of his car outside the college gate and walk into the college. This is a tradition of the Saint and Harmony Society Alliance Colleges.

Lin Qi also came, and... he even changed into the school's summer uniform, looking a little embarrassed.

Despite his youthful appearance, this guy has lived for over fifty years, and he's still a bit unaccustomed to suddenly wearing a school uniform.

Actually, this school uniform is quite nice. Although it's a summer uniform, it's a two-piece set. The inner layer is a pure white shirt with platinum trim and a small floral collar, and even the buttons are platinum trimmed with gemstones.

The Flower Collar also features white and gold silk trim. The semi-openwork collar flower doesn't look too cumbersome; it's both beautiful and breathable, ensuring comfort.

The outer garment is a relatively light and thin fitted formal suit. It is made of a gauze fabric, which is also very breathable. It won't feel stuffy or uncomfortable to wear, and you won't even feel it.

The traditional formal trousers paired with shiny leather shoes not only accentuate the youthful energy but also exude elegance; the designer is truly talented.

It is said that initially people did not focus on the design of the school uniforms. It was not until the first female principal of the Saint and Harmony Society Alliance Colleges was born that a strange trend began to spread in the then somewhat conservative alliance schools.

Schools would compete to see whose school uniforms were better looking, and whose student representatives were more handsome or beautiful...

This trend has continued to this day. Every year, each alliance school redesigns its school uniforms for the four seasons (spring, summer, autumn, and winter) based on the previous design. The Student Union of the alliance schools will then select the best design of the year from the uniforms of other schools.

Of course, the design of the school uniform was also overseen by the Student Union. Although the school administration appeared indifferent to the competition between student groups, they actually provided a lot of support behind the scenes, since no one wants to be told that they are inferior to other alliance schools.

Before Lin Qi entered, some female students came to chat him up, but the moment he stepped through the door, the female students who had been lingering around him dispersed.

"Were you waiting for me?" Lin Qi asked casually, looking at Anna standing by the door.

"Yes!" Anna readily admitted. After their encounter that day, she discovered that Sai Weiruila's weakness was Lin Qi.

After she returned, she used her own channels to find out some things that she hadn't really cared about before, such as Sai Weiruila's private life.

In fact, not many people in this circle would pry into other people's private lives. It's not only impolite, but it could also cause a "war." So Anna didn't consciously pay attention to anyone's private life.

As a result, her people told her that in her twenty-four years of life, Sai Weiruila had never been in a real relationship, and she had never even liked anyone.

Those guys who used to fawn over her only wanted to get her pregnant so they could inherit Wo Delike's business, but Wo Delike saw through that long ago and struck swiftly, breaking several of their legs. After that, no one dared to harass Sai Weiruila again.

A girl who grows up in a family with a near-perfect father will more or less have a father complex, which means that she can't find many men she likes.

Anna was thrilled by the discovery; perhaps this fated duel was about to come to an end.

Because of these ideas, Anna acted very boldly, staring intently at Lin Qi's handsome face, her cheeks slightly flushed.

She told herself that it was all fake, and all she had to do was use Lin Qi to defeat Sai Weiruila. But somehow, it was as if Lin Qi's face had a magnet, firmly attracting Anna's gaze and making it impossible for her to look away from Lin Qi!
