"It's so big here!" Helen stood next to Lin Qi and sighed at what she saw. Even in the middle of winter, the huge yard still felt like midsummer. Moreover, she also noticed that it was not too cold here, and there seemed to be a heating system under the floor tiles.

There is a huge swimming pool on the side of the yard, and some girls in simple clothes are playing in the pool.

The swimming pool radiates heat and steam, and it seems to be quite cold. In fact, with the help of the constant temperature equipment, the water in the swimming pool is stabilized at around 28 degrees, which is not cold at all.

These girls are the kind of girls who can stir up the atmosphere. Some people always describe these girls as "beautiful vases", and now is the best time to verify this statement.

They don't need to perform more in the entire celebration, they just need to be responsible for pleasing the eyes in the looming water vapor.

The entire courtyard was extremely luxurious, and Helen couldn't help but sigh, this is life, the life of the rich.

Every guest who comes and goes is polite, and money has given them a higher level of self-cultivation. Even if it is an ordinary-looking Little Assistant, when their eyes meet her, some people will smile and nod to her.

There is a huge screen in this yard, and what is being played on the screen is the real-time signal from the State Election vote counting site. People's eyes and attention are focused on this screen, watching the staff counting votes quickly under numerous supervisions, as if something is becoming more and more nervous.

When the last votes were counted and the entire box was emptied and displayed, the results were about to be announced. The governor stood under the big screen, his face no longer smiling and becoming very serious.

No matter how much he claimed to have great confidence in the election results, he was still a little uneasy before the results actually came out.

Soon, two staff members handed the results to the justice, and the justice stood up after reading it.

At this moment, there seemed to be less air in the courtyard - people took a deep breath.

Next, it was time to announce the results. When Chief Justice pressed his hand on the code to announce that the governor had been re-elected, the champagne corks flew everywhere, and the entire manor suddenly fell into a sea of joy.

People held their wine glasses high and shouted loudly, "Here's to the governor!"

The governor, who stood in the most conspicuous place in the crowd, also raised his glass and drank the champagne to celebrate the victory together.

The victory was expected, but it is also satisfying enough. It means that the interest groups surrounding the governor will have a good life in the next few years, rather than an embarrassing withdrawal.

Federal Politics and capital are difficult to separate to some extent, especially after reaching the level of governor. Regardless of whether politicians are willing to form an interest group around themselves as the core, this interest group still exists.

Just like this election, without the donations from supporters holding wine glasses high in the manor, it is unlikely that the governor will spend hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars to run for the election.

Without a campaign and without letting the public know his political views and policy agenda, people would not vote for him, and he would not be able to gain people's support, thus missing out on victory.

This is a bottomless pit, and the governor's salary is simply not enough to support his squandering, but it happens every few years, which also destined Federal politicians to have a group of die-hard supporters, so it is difficult to separate politicians and capitalists.

The victory of the governor is the victory of these capitalists, so they are more excited than the governor. More policy inclinations can make their lives as nourishing as before, and these are the returns on their investment!

At this time, a phone rang suddenly, and the governor suddenly made a silent movement. He explained with a smile, "It should be Mr. President calling to congratulate me on my victory. Please be quiet for a while..."

In the eyes of some people with envy and hatred, the governor answered the phone with a smile on his face. Although the current situation is indeed not good, and he may receive some criticism and criticism during the next term of office, his power and reputation have increased to a higher level. Compared with those unimportant losses, this is still worth it.

During the short phone call, people only noticed the title he said - "Mr. President", which also made people keep quiet for fear of disturbing the call between the governor and Mr. President.

Lin Qi, who was standing outside the crowd, held a glass of wine and looked at the governor who was putting on a show. There was not much expression on his face, neither envy, jealousy nor disgust.

Adelaide, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but explain, "This is a necessary process. It may not have been done before, but it must be..."

"Understandable!" Lin Qi nodded, accepting Adelaide's explanation.

In fact, sometimes this approach is a bit... shameless, but as Adelaide said, in the past, everyone was elected based on their ability. There were no problems with society and the economy. It didn't matter whether there was a call from the President.

But the current situation is not very good. After winning the election, some people will definitely stand up and criticize some of the governor's actions and the results of his election victory.

It has become a tradition in every election, whether for mayor, governor or president, for the candidates to continue hurling insults at each other for a long time before stopping.

But this year the governor's opponents have done almost nothing, and this has become a point for people to attack the governor - there is a conspiracy in the election.

It would be better to have Mr. President on the phone at this time. At least those stupid people will not become fools under the manipulation of some well-intentioned people to attack the governor and the so-called election shady.

Lin Qi noticed it early on, but then again, this is politics, and there are hidden opportunities everywhere.

After a while, the governor hung up the phone. He loudly told others the content of the call with the president, and the fact that the president congratulated him on his victory and his blessings. The atmosphere at the scene became better.

The governor keeps walking among the crowd, and those who received his invitation to attend this celebration today are all his supporters, who have donated a lot of money to him.

He must thank these people, because next time State Election, he will still have to rely on these people's donations to help him win the election.

About an hour later, the governor came to Lin Qi. The governor seemed to have drunk a lot of wine, and his face was a little rosy. He took the initiative to hold out his hand before others came close.

Lin Qi gave the wine glass to Helen, stretched out his hand and shook it with the governor, "Thank you very much for coming, Lin Qi!" The governor's hand was very warm, very hot, and gave people a very reliable and safe feeling.

Lin Qi smiled and responded, "There is no one more suitable for this position than you in the entire state, and I am very grateful to you for inviting me!"

The governor couldn't help laughing after hearing this, "I know, this is just to make me happy, but I really thank you. If you hadn't supported me, I might not have been able to win this election!"

This sentence is correct. It is one thing that the governor's opponent has no desire to fight, but if the governor's performance is really unbearable, the opponent will not give the governor a chance to be re-elected.

After skipping this very ordinary opening remarks, the two let go of their hands, but the governor did not leave, but talked about some off-topic topics with Lin Qi.

"You are doing a good job at Nagaril. In the next month or so, I will arrange for some government personnel in the state and some company bosses to form a group to Nagaril. I may trouble you to receive them then."

As he spoke, he glanced at the people celebrating in other places and lowered his voice. "The situation in the state is still severe. Some places are better, but the good ones are very leisurely. I think it is impossible to rely on the market to improve on its own. We can only let them go out and look for opportunities."

The governor smiled with a firm look in his eyes. Continuing to wait for the domestic situation to improve will only lead to a dead end. Only by looking for development opportunities abroad can the domestic situation be saved.

And this has been proven to be effective and valuable, then he will force those who are unwilling to go out.

"I will cooperate."

"Anyway, thank you, thank you!", the governor stretched out his hand and shook Lin Qi again, "I'll leave for a while, there are others who need me to greet, we will talk in detail later.", he said and glanced at Adelaide and Little Assistant Helen, smiled and nodded, and then said goodbye to Lin Qi.

After the governor left, Mr. Adelaide made a "walk and talk" invitation and walked towards the back of the courtyard with Lin Qi.

Helen thought for a while, but did not follow. There were only two people, Mr. Adelaide and Lin Qi.

"Recently, some companies have declared bankruptcy..." Adelaide started with bad news. "Limited orders cannot solve the problems of the entire environment, so the governor plans to adopt the method you mentioned before and develop outside."

"But you know, people always have certain prejudices against this practice. No matter how we explain it, there will always be some people who think that this is Federal Government colluding with some businessmen to transfer assets."

When talking about this phenomenon, Adelaide had a sarcastic smile on his face, "So we can't be too obvious and direct. It would be best if someone could send an invitation letter from Nagaril and invite us to go over for inspection. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I'll ask someone to prepare it. Do you need a provincial-level invitation letter, or do you want their royal family to send a letter?"

Lin Qi definitely understands this truth, just take off your pants and fart, but don't think that taking off your pants and farting is really unnecessary.

When you are healthy and have no problems, you know whether what you are brewing is a fart or a poop.

But when you're not in good health, you don't know what's coming out next, and you don't dare to take a gamble, so taking off your pants and farting becomes the best option.

Even though it's stupid, at least it won't be in first gear.
