Blackstone Code

Chapter 790: Time changed us

After eating a sumptuous and confusing dinner, Lynch and Catherine bid farewell to Ms. Tracy and returned to Lynch’s residence.

   "What do you think of the meal you ate at night?", lying on the sofa, Catherine asked while eating an apple. She wanted to hear Lynch's opinion.

   That evening meal was indeed very artistic. It was obviously a simple grilled fish steak, but it was stunned by the cook that it turned into a whale breathing on the sea.

The    fish steak is the body of a whale. They also use some kind of fish skin, which is simply fried and spread on the upper part of the fish steak. It looks like the blue-black back of the whale.

  The soup used to serve the meal is paired with some vegetable leaves, and it becomes the sea. It looks really artistic and the fragrance is good.

   But the taste... just like what those gourmets say, if you don't consider the taste, it is indeed a good dinner.

   Lynch said without concealing, "I haven't eaten enough, the portion is too small."

   The girl laughed when she heard it, "Yes, the portion is too small, I feel I can eat something."

   Maybe it is to create that kind of picture. Each kind of food is more used for the expressiveness of the picture than the food really fills the stomach.

   Lynch looked at Catherine, "What kind of scones do you want?"

   "Onion beef!" The girl was a little surprised, "More cheese!"

   Lynch nodded and asked the sergeant to order some scones.

The so-called scones are actually pizzas from another world, but in this world its name is not pizza, but "cheese pie", simplified to be scones, a very common food used to fill the stomach .

In the past, when Catherine and Lynch were still living together, they could order a scone is equivalent to a big meal. Jiufen is also a not cheap price.

   Every once in a while, Catherine would order one to comfort herself and Lynch. People would always want to eat something intermittently.

   She leaned on Lynch’s shoulder and looked at the dark night outside the window, seeming to miss something.

   Lynch did not bother her. After a while, her attention was collected from the aimless and scattered thoughts and placed on Lynch's body.

"Do you really think that one day, women can also enter the political arena?" She asked a little suddenly, seeming to be full of confusion about her own future, "I mean, we can really come to an important Instead of becoming a vase?"

   Her internship experience at the Presidential Palace during this time made her feel that this country, especially the high-level government, is still quite discriminatory against women.

   There is not a single woman in the hundreds of seats in the Congress, and there is not a single woman in the top cabinet of the government. There are indeed some women in the presidential palace, but these women are doing some of the most common jobs that can be replaced at any time.

   No woman is in an important and irreplaceable position, which is very discouraging.

   She even discovered some other things that the society didn't understand. For example, one of the most successful affirmative projects of the feminist movement over the years, the military, has huge problems.

   At the beginning, some people used the phrase "only men can defend the country, so men dominate this society" to criticize some ideas of feminist organizations, and feminist organizations fought back fiercely.

   If a man can serve as a soldier, so can a woman!

   So there are female arms in the federal military, yes, they are "women" arms.

   They were doing training similar to that of male soldiers, and they were not too far behind in some items. At that time, the society also gave very positive reports.

   But in fact, some situations are terrible.

   Not long ago, Catherine also came into contact with a report from the Ministry of Defense, which talked about violations in the military.

  Because the military is a relatively closed field and quite dictatorial, the absolute obedience of subordinates to superiors can easily breed something that shouldn't breed.

   Like some female soldiers were asked to bathe with their partner male soldiers, live in the same camp, and even other excessive demands, these problems were not disclosed.

   After reading it, the heart stopped beating for half a beat. Every word and the description of the smeared lines made people have a frightening reverie.

   Women, after all, do not occupy a dominant position in this society, let alone strong, even weak is a luxury.

   Can they really stand up?

   Catherine was suspicious.

   seems to be able to feel some changes in Catherine's inner mood. Lynch did not immediately give her any answer. He thought about it for a while before slowly saying, "Of course!"

   The tone is not strong, but it is full of unwavering strength.

   "This is a trend, no one can stop it. If you go one step ahead, you are ahead of an era!"

   Others may not be so sure about these things, but Lynch is a "comer" after all, and even some "deserts" were eventually captured, let alone the Federation here, a country where the air is sweet and free?

   The girl didn't continue talking, but just sat quietly.

   This is not a job she likes, but she realizes that if she doesn't want to fall behind, she has to do it.

  Some things always have to be decided.

   "Do you like your life now?" the girl asked again after a while.

   Lynch didn’t answer immediately, but thought about it for a while, “I don’t hate the life now. This is enough for us.”

   "If you want to see the scenery on the top of the mountain, you have to bear the exhaustion of climbing the mountain. To gain something, you must pay."

   "No matter how you choose, I will support and respect your decision. This is not forced, but I think it should be the best choice."

   "The best choice, it may be our least favorite!"

   The girl stopped talking about this topic after being silent for a while. She talked about some recent changes.

"You know, those classmates always tried to contact me before, they actually wrote to me and mailed it to the presidential palace!" It may be that she has already made a decision in her heart, or she did not want Lynch to worry about her, she chose The topic is somewhat interesting.

   Of course, she sighed a little herself, "Some of them are people I don't know. I can't even match their names with their faces, but they are very kind in the letter."

   "Life is always so unexpected, and my brother, if you don't forget him..."

It was Catherine’s brother who came to take Catherine away. It was not her brother, but her uncle’s son. It could be said that he was a cousin, but the federal people didn’t pay attention to this. It was either elder brother or younger brother. There were not so many complicated titles. .

   Lynch nodded, "I remember him, a bit owed."

Catherine laughed loudly, "Yes, it's him, he also called me and wanted to find a job here. Everyone thinks I am an almighty little witch, wave a magic wand...", she lifted up The hand made a waving motion, "...just everything is solved."

   Since Catherine went on TV and people knew that she had been intern at the Presidential Palace, she had become a full "big man" in the eyes of those around her.

  What is it that you can meet with Mr. President every day, not a big shot?

   So there are some people who want to have a relationship. If she can say a few good things in front of Mr. President for herself, what can she not get?

   These changes also left Catherine with a brief period of confusion, but she soon found a direction from the confusion. These people wanted to show affection not because of her, but because of her work.

   People are a very real life. Those who have never spoken to her try their best to express themselves in order to have a little possible power. This is probably the reason why people are keen on power?

   Everyone is holding her, the feeling is actually not bad.

   It didn't take long for the sergeant to return with scones. There were several copies, and he and the other bodyguards also had shares.

   Lynch is not a mean boss. Everyone came to thank Mr. Lynch for his generosity, then took a piece and returned to his post.

It's not that they can't afford scones. Catherine knows that everyone's salary is enough for them to eat scones. It's just that this kind of "boss treats" scones is not so easy to eat. It is not just scones, but more. Contains the goodwill of the boss.

   is like... the president’s scones. It is an honor and an honor to eat.

Two people who realized the freedom of cheese only ate the heart of the scones and the trap on the top, and threw all the edges back into the carton~lightnovelpub.net~ They watched TV and discussed some plots, most of the time Catherine was talking, Lynch was listening, and he didn't watch TV much.

   Inexplicably, this picture seems to overlap with a moment in the memory of the two people. They just lived in that small room, eating cheap junk food, and were blushing for some TV plots.

   Now they eat better and live in a better environment, but there is no noise.

   No words for a night.

   The next day, Lynch went to the financial center after sending Catherine to work. He hadn't seen each other for more than two months, and Lyme had become a lot more docile.

   I don't believe that Lynch has caused him a huge loss, and the money he has made since following Lynch has been lost again.

   This also made him realize a truth, his experience may be a little useful to the bottom in the financial field, but for the big players, it is still too naive.

   In order to avoid risks, split a company and file for bankruptcy. Regardless of whether the other party sues or not, they start the proceedings first and drag the bankrupt company into the lawsuit.

   There is no such thing as a company worth tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars, just like a bubble that bursts with a single poke.

  Lime, who has always been at the bottom, has never seen this kind of gameplay. Not only did he lose, but he also lost miserably. This tuition fee caused all his hard work in the past two years to be ruined.

   Fortunately, he was able to positively recognize his mistakes and move closer to Lynch, so that he would have a place in Buppen.
