The Less One Has, the More One Wants

In front of the TV, a well-dressed and elegant gentleman looked at the tit-for-tat confrontation between Lin Qi and Oula on the TV and showed some displeasure.

He picked up the phone at hand, dialed a number, and said into the phone after a moment, "Let them change the topic. She has offended so many people. This time, let her act like a normal host and ask some normal questions..."

As he said this, he hung up the phone and continued watching TV.

The phone was in his hand, right next to the sofa. In most home layouts, the phone wouldn't be placed next to the sofa. That's not the place for a phone.

For example, what should I do if the host is receiving guests and a sensitive phone call comes? Avoidance will make the guests feel that the relationship between them is not good enough, and they have to avoid each other even for a phone call.

Those who are sensitive may feel that this phone call has something to do with them. Maybe some people are talking bad about them, or something else.

Don't avoid it. Not all calls can be shown openly in front of irrelevant people. At the same time, it is also a very bad way to treat the caller. It is obviously a private call between two people, but there is a third party. This is not a good experience.

So the vast majority of households - and here we need to exclude those ordinary households, the reason why they install the phone next to the sofa is more to show off.

Except for these people, most families will install the phone in a corner farther away from the public area, or find a separate room to arrange it.

From the decoration of this house, it can be seen that the owner of the house is not a poor person. There is a flame burning in the fireplace beside the sofa. The male Deer Head hanging on the wall above is quite old. Its exaggerated horns always make some ladies scream.

There are also some lifelike heads of bears, lions and other animals on the surrounding walls. Without discussing the cost of hunting these animals, just making them into exquisite specimens and maintaining them is not a cheap expense.

The decoration in the room and several paintings worth tens to hundreds of thousands hanging on the other wall showed that this was not an ordinary family. The owner should not have made such a simple mistake of placing the phone next to the sofa.

But he did that because his job was so busy that he needed to answer calls anytime and anywhere.

This gentleman is a Congressman and occupies a position in Appropriations Committee.

In the parliamentary system of Federal, Appropriations Committee is one of the eight major Standing Committees, and it is a very important institution. It is responsible for the non-military financial budget allocation of the powerful, and it can be said that it has great power.

This old man is one of them and has strong social connections.

The program being played on TV, the host named Oula, is his daughter.

No matter how busy he is, as long as he has time, he will definitely watch this program to express his concern for his family members.

But only they themselves know what this is all about.

He continued to eat, grilling meat, grabbing it with his hands casually, and his hands were stained with oil. These characteristics he showed at this time did not look like a big shot at all.

There was a certain light in his eyes, as if he was remembering something.

In fact, it was not just him who was reminiscing, Oula on the TV was also caught in some unpleasant memories.

Lin Qi's words stirred her mind and brought her back to many years ago.

When Director from the program team told Lin Qi Oula that he was not easy to mess with and would provoke the program guests, Lin Qi took the time to make a phone call to National Security Committee.

He is now National Security Committee Special Advisor, and he has the authority to access non-privileged confidential documents - it should be pointed out that even non-privileged confidential documents will not be disclosed to the public.

The confidentiality and decryption mentioned by Federal Government have always been matters that have nothing to do with the public. Only people with special identities can access non-confidential documents and decrypted documents.

As for confidential documents, they require higher status and authority. The highest authority is the president himself.

Soon some of the most superficial information related to Oula entered Lin Qi's ears. As for more information, such as herself and her family, they were not authorized.

It's not that Lin Qi's qualifications are insufficient, but according to Federal's laws, no institution may file a case or investigate an individual who is engaged in public office, and members of the House of Representatives are also public officials.

This law was enacted to prevent both parties from unrestrainedly using state organs as weapons to attack and harm each other in the process of political strife. This did avoid many problems, but it also created many problems.

It is precisely because of this that Lin Qi knew that Oula's father was a Congressman, and Lin Qi could not transfer her and her family members without the approval of a higher authority. However, National Security Committee gave Lin Qi some additional gains, that is, Oula's uncle was sentenced to a heavy sentence for violating the Federal Law law.

Federal The law is sometimes not so clear, and there are always some lawyer apostles who make the boundaries of the law waver, but on some issues, the law is very decisive and accurate - on the protection of children and women.

After playing Lin Qi combined some of the characteristics he observed, so he came to some terrible conclusions.

When Lin Qi put forward this hypothesis, Oula fell into memories.

There will always be many unsatisfactory things in life. God may give you wealth that others do not have, but it may take away your health. He may give you a strong body, but may forget to give you a rich life.

There are not so many perfect things in this world, and there will always be some shortcomings in life, no matter who it is.

Oula's childhood life was not very happy, but fortunately, those bad, angry or frightening things have become a thing of the past, and now she has escaped from those shadows.

After all these years of harassment, she has almost forgotten those past...

Almost!

If Lin Qi didn't mention this matter, she might still be able to pretend that she had forgotten it.

This made her feel scared, but also made her even more angry. She felt like she had been stripped naked by Lin Qi and then exposed in the public eye.

She subconsciously turned her head and glanced at the audience in the auditorium. She felt as if she had returned to that day! At this moment, she came back to her senses and subconsciously touched her hair. Her face was a little pale at first, but soon turned red with anger, "I just asked you some questions that may be more sensitive, but you attacked me in such a vicious way, Mr. Lin Qi, is this the attitude you learned in school towards treating ladies?"

"I heard that public schools are very chaotic. I have done related programs before. Puppy love, violence, attacks between students and students, and attacks between students and teachers?"

"It seems that you have learned a lot about public schools!" She said and added with a smile, "I heard that you had ambiguous relationships with many girls in high school. This is the advantage of being handsome. You don't need to have anything else."

Mean, vicious, all the guests who have participated in "Oula Ninety Minutes" feel this way. They hate this feeling, but there is no way to avoid it.

At this time, the program team member Director, who came back from outside, took a cue card and wrote some content to show to Oula on the stage. The program had just started. If it was paused now, it would probably cause unnecessary trouble. Therefore, the program had to go on, so he could only convey the congressman's words to Oula through the cue card.

Oula saw the prompt card in Director's hand, and Lin Qi also saw it. He also showed a meaningful smile to Oula. The smile made Oula feel a little uneasy, and at the same time he became even more angry.

Her childhood experiences made her very strong. She wanted to control everything, and believed that as long as she could control everything, she could control her own destiny.

She had always been able to do it before, and this time she felt that she could do it, and she wanted to take back the initiative.

She adjusted her hair, looked at Lin Qi, and decided not to obey her father's request, "What, do you think what I said is wrong, Mr. Lin Qi?"

When Oula raised this question, she still praised her wit. She invited Lin Qi to participate in the show. She must have a certain understanding of Lin Qi.

She knew that Lin Qi had attended the most common public school in Sabine City since Elementary School. What did public schools represent? There is never-ending chaos. In the education system of Federal, public education has always been regarded as the fig leaf of the education system. Public education and private education are always opposite extremes.

While school is over at three o'clock every afternoon, or at most half past three, there is no homework.

On the other hand, school doesn't end until five or six o'clock every night, and a lot of homework is assigned.

In addition to the differences in schools, children from Oula's background also had to receive tutoring from tutors. That was also a past that people don't want to recall.

However, these will become the pride of every Upper Class person.

She raised her chin slightly and looked at Lin Qi with a not-so-subtle pride and arrogance.

No matter how well Lin Qi develops now, he is just a person from a humble background, from the bottom of society. He will never be as good as Oula in terms of his background.

Such a sharp attack silenced the entire studio, and the show was full of gunpowder and excitement from the beginning.

People looked at Lin Qi, wanting to see how he would answer, but this time, people were not expecting him to answer as much as before.

Maybe it's empathy? I don't know, maybe there is.

People looked at Lin Qi, Lin Qi lowered his head and thought. Many people knew that if he did not answer this question well enough, he would not be the only one who would suffer losses.

A smile of victory appeared on the corner of Oula's mouth. She seemed to have won!
