Withdrawal Symptoms

It turns out that women always have an advantage over men in some things, and it's an advantage that is unique and irresistible.

With very few exceptions, most men are no match for women in this regard.

After spending some time with Lin Qi, Penny had to start working. The unrest gradually subsided, and the whole country was calming down. Under the strong armed intervention, people finally remembered the horrors of the ruling class.

Those who have been forgotten have been freely shot anywhere. Only when they return home are they safe for the locals, to the point that there are hardly any locals on the streets now.

They were terrified that the Hunting Squad members would suddenly appear in front of them in their vehicles, then laugh horribly and pull the trigger, killing them on the road simply because they had left their homes.

After the unrest subsided, everything was recovering rapidly. More workers wearing red vests appeared on the streets. They were the first to appear on the main roads in the city center, working hard with some obviously second-hand old machines to clear the hard ground.

After being subjected to various harsh environmental conditions, those muddy grounds have become exceptionally hard. When you pound them with a hammer, some shiny spots will only leave a white mark.

These people are clearing the ground in preparation for the paving to begin.

After the torrential rain, a brand new world unfolded before people's eyes. People were filled with curiosity, anticipation, and trepidation as they prepared, or were already ready to welcome a completely new Nagaril.

So the film crew in the hotel naturally had to start working. Every extra day they stayed was a huge loss for the entire crew, since they had all signed contracts. Once the time stipulated in the contract was exceeded, they would have to pay additional fees to these contracted parties according to the standards in the contract.

Not only the actors, but everyone else in the crew also signed the agreement, so Little Fox was very anxious. To show his respect for Lin Qi and for some other reason, he personally went to Lin Qi's place to talk about it.

Lin Qi understood what he meant. This guy meant, "You guys have had your fun, so let that girl come back to work. Time waits for no one!" Of course, to avoid being too blatant, he also invited Lin Qi to visit the set if he needed anything.

Lin Qi agreed with this, saying that one should relax when it's time to relax and work when it's time to work, and not bring personal emotions into work. So after a night of hard work, the Auspicious Demon was finally defeated.

The girl's level has been improving rapidly lately, which is a woman's talent. She seemed very reluctant to part with him, just like a girl who is truly in love.

"I really don't want to work. Maybe after this job is over, I can ask the company for a super long vacation..." the girl said tentatively while waiting for the film crew's car at the coffee bar outside the hotel.

Lin Qi knew what these young girls wanted just by the way they stuck their butts out. He simply responded to the question naturally, "Everyone enjoys pleasure, but we should also have some pursuits beyond pleasure."

"Decades later, when you're lying in the yard basking in the sun, and your granddaughter or grandson asks you what memorable things happened when you were their age, you can't exactly tell them that you spent your days fooling around with a man!"

"You need to have some precious treasures that can shine like gold in your memory. It's not easy for a person to come into this world. We should leave something for ourselves and something for the world."

The girl's eyes were somewhat unfocused. "What you're saying is so profound, yet it makes so much sense. Is this what you're doing right now?"

Actually, Lin Qi wanted to tell her that all she wanted was to Withdrawal Symptoms her dependence on hormones and Dopamine, and that it would get better after a while. But he knew that would be useless, so he decided to say something she wouldn't understand.

Lin Qi nodded and said, "I'm changing the world!"

This made the girl laugh out loud. She then waved her hands repeatedly, "Sorry, I'm not making fun of you. I know you really are doing that. I just wanted to laugh."

She let out a sigh of relief, "Why don't you try being an actor? I think you could become a very great actor!"

"I really mean it!"

To Lin Qi, being a top-notch actor was a simple matter; his acting skills had long been honed and perfected, and he didn't like those things.

He pointed out the window, "The film crew's car is here!"

The girl looked back at the cars outside the hotel. In addition to two large cars reinforced with steel bars, there were two all-terrain off-road vehicles, also reinforced with steel bars, and there were people carrying guns on them.

These people are all employees of Blackstone Security. Their expenses are included in the film's investment costs. After the box office results are released, Lin Qi can get a larger share. Of course, this is just a joke. Nobody cares about such a small amount of money.

"The car is here..." Penny said with a soft sigh, as if she were talking to Lin Qi, or perhaps to herself. There was no attempt to stop her; she had known all along.

"I should go now. When will we meet again?"

Lin Qi stood up and helped the girl with her luggage. "I will be going back to China at the end of the year to take care of some things. If you make progress quickly, we may meet at that time."

At the hotel entrance, the girl turned and hugged Lin Qi, then got into the car with the help of her agent and drove away quickly.

Lin Qi stood at the hotel entrance, took out a pack of cigarettes, lit one, and watched the convoy disappear.

He doesn't like giving gifts, especially to acquaintances; the feeling of parting is unpleasant, and it doesn't feel as good as the feeling of making money.

The feeling of seeing those lovely numbers increase is much better than seeing someone go.

Shortly after, the car that was supposed to pick him up arrived.

Drag was also in the car, which surprised Lin Qi. "I thought you wouldn't come."

They were going to a meeting at the City Hall. The unrest had ended, but many wealthy people had been impacted, with their businesses and even their lives threatened.

A large number of them have returned to God's embrace, while others have been injured or frightened.

After this unrest, it would be most unbelievable if the City Hall didn't step forward to give an explanation and appease these people.

Lin Qi was also one of the foreign investors invited to the meeting, and he even wrote the core content of the mayor's speech himself. He didn't expect a stupid mayor to be able to organize this level of face-to-face dialogue, so he had to do it himself.

So, in a strict sense, Lin Qi was just going through the motions at the afternoon meeting.

He went there simply to set an example, to demonstrate something.

Drag smiled. "There's news from the Royal Capital that they want us to sit down and have a chat..."

The car started slowly, and he shut his mouth. After the car started moving, he continued, "The Federal put a lot of pressure on the royal family. Now it seems they can't withstand the pressure and are preparing to agree to the Federal's demands to increase the value of the Nagaril in the foreign exchange market."

Hearing this, Lin Qi roughly understood what was going on. Truman and his men had made a breakthrough in their work. He knew it, but he didn't show it on his face.

After observing Lin Qi for a while without gaining anything, the Provincial Governor Drag finally asked his second question, "What do you think I should do?" Boosting the value of Galil was not a simple matter, but it wasn't that complicated either. In the simplest terms, all it would take was to find an exploration team to produce a geological report recognized by a world-class authoritative exploration institution, indicating the discovery of a rich Mineral Deposit, and the value of Galil would increase.

However, this improvement is very slow. Resource-based power must be based on the rate of extraction and annual output, and there will be no change in the short term.

The real game that can bring about change is actually another approach, which was discussed by the Federal and Nagaril delegations before: taking over the Federal Sol.

As long as the Central Government takes in a certain amount of Federal Sol as a fixed amount of foreign exchange reserves, there will be sufficient conditions to push up the value of the Galil. If the Federal government also announces that it will take in a certain amount of Galil, the appreciation of the Galil will be just around the corner! And this is what the Provincial Governor Drag wants to consult about, what he should do.

The diplomatic mission and the Federal had previously failed to reach an agreement on this issue because the Federal Government required that this portion of foreign exchange be deposited in designated banks with certain national characteristics and be subject to Federal supervision and management, and that it not be withdrawn at will.

Nagaril's political power revolves around each province. If these Provincial Governor were to put their money into the royal family's pockets, they probably wouldn't be able to sleep at night. Only the royal family could sleep soundly and would wake up laughing.

Now this matter seems to have a workable basis again. The Provincial Governor doesn't know what to do to avoid harming his own interests while still gaining some benefits.

He now constantly reminds himself that he is now a member of the Federal and that he should think about himself and the Federal.

Lin Qi pondered for a moment, "I haven't communicated this matter with the domestic authorities yet, and the United Company hasn't told me anything either. But I have an idea. Do you know that the six major Federal banks have all moved in?"

The Provincial Governor Drag nodded; he had hosted these people before.

Lin Qi continued, "You could have all these people join forces with the Big Six Banks banks to establish a Nagaril International United Bank, deposit this foreign exchange reserve into it, and manage it jointly. Wouldn't that be a little more acceptable?"

After he finished speaking, he looked at the Provincial Governor Drag with a different expression. He did not simply think that the Provincial Governor Drag had become Federal citizen and that he was truly Federal citizen and was thinking about the interests of the federal government just because he had become Federal citizen.

It should be understood that even among Federal citizens, many only think of themselves and even profit by betraying their country.

When it comes to profits, nationality is unreliable. Businessmen will only recognize a nationality and country if they can bring them benefits!

It has been said that businessmen and capitalists are the world's largest group of anarchists!
