"Actually..." Frena glanced at Dulin, with a nostalgic and relieved smile on her face, "We used to be lovers."
"Oh wow, this is really great news. Can you tell us more about it? I believe the audience is very interested in this, and it will also help people distinguish the authenticity of the rumors." Heather immediately answered. He asked something that many people were wondering about, whether this was a forced explanation.
"Let me tell you!" Dulin took over the topic and began to talk about some things that happened when he was in Tenel. "At that time, I was just an inconspicuous little person, and I was working hard to make myself a useful person to society. He shrugged his shoulders, "They are rich people. During this process, I met Frena. At that time, he was still an opera singer at the Turnel Opera House. Due to some personal reasons, he was not accepted by the public. At that time, the operator of the opera house liked him. He had no works and was an inconspicuous little actor. "
"Excellent people always find it difficult to integrate into small, closed and backward groups. She is isolated and does not get better resources."
"Under such circumstances, we met by chance..."
When Du Lin said this, Heather suddenly interjected, "Sorry to interrupt, you said that you have met each other. Can you tell me and the audience how you met? For a more specific process, we have very interested!"
Du Lin glanced at Frena, who nodded, "Of course, I was washing the car of the gentleman who went to watch the opera at the entrance of the theater. It cost a few cents to wash the car. Especially on nights when there were shows, I washed the car in front of the theater. There will be a lot of cars, and my business is also good, and then I met Frena there who needed help. There was a man who was not so gentlemanly and was pestering her... "
"And you helped her get rid of that man?"
"Yes, I did." Dulin couldn't help but laugh, "Then I lost my right to wash the car in front of the theater, and they expelled me."
Heather shook her head and looked at Dulin and Frena in disbelief, "I simply can't believe that the most outstanding young man and movie queen in the empire actually has such a past. Maybe this is The reason why you are successful is because you have suffered much more than others. So why did you separate later?"
Frena thought for a while, "Maybe it's because we are too familiar. You know, you will never fall in love with the man who leads the household, because you are too familiar with each other, which will make life lack surprise and passion." She was a little affectionate. Looking at Du Lin, "We are so familiar with each other that we are like one person. I know his preferences and he also knows my preferences. We are more like family members, even now." She seemed to be very emotional, "We We no longer need to be lovers as a bridge to care for each other. Even if we are not together, I still believe that we are the most caring people for each other. "
"This is what I want to say!" Du Lin confirmed in time.
The following topics were more about Dulin's personal aspects. Of course, at the end, Heather did not forget to mention Kinsale's two upcoming movies and her recognition of Frena's work after moving behind the scenes. .
This is a very successful program. It neither avoids nor admits. The way and attitude of presenting the facts and letting the audience think for themselves has made some very malicious rumors disappear. There are indeed many people in society who are very short-sighted, not because they are stupid, but because their sources of information are not sufficient. They do not have the opportunity to get too much information to comprehensively judge whether something is correct or not, which leads to many problems. Funny rumors become so-called truth.
But this time, they finally have more content, put an end to some rumors, and make Dulin's image fuller.
The love affair between him and Frena and the hardships during the start-up period in Tenel have almost become the reasons used by mainstream society to encourage losers to continue on the journey.
Even Du Lin made a living washing other people's cars for a while and was expelled. Why can't you stand up again after failure
Because you are more successful than Dulin
Or is it because you don’t even have the courage to fight anymore
In addition, Dulin's interesting private life has also become a topic of discussion. In Heather's program, everyone admired Dulin's humor and wit very much, and Dulin's attitude towards refuting rumors was not as good as that of others. Traditional politicians are so blunt and even unreasonable, as if they want to hold a knife to other people's necks to make them understand their position. But Du Lin is different. He doesn't force anyone to listen to his explanation. He just wants to have a clear conscience.
The accusation of Du Lin's private life being corrupt is not true. In Du Lin's words, he is still a young man and a bachelor before he got engaged to Ophelia. He is qualified to pursue the girl he likes and experience a passionate life. . This is the power given to him by life. If a young man is said to be unstable, lacking in education and morally corrupt because he is full of passion for life, then 99.99% of the people in the entire society , all the same as Dulin.
A program, several newspaper interviews, and public opinion attacks on Du Lin were suddenly reversed by him. Of course, it was impossible to completely eliminate these attacks, and Du Lin had never considered doing so. Just like what he said to Hersman before, forcing others to bow their heads has no value other than proving that you are guilty and panicked.
The solution he gave was to continue to make up stories and spread them out. Only one of the one hundred stories used to smear himself was actually smearing himself. The other ninety-nine were based on entertainment and could be explained clearly with sufficient reasons. When publishing gossip news, the one percent will naturally be eliminated by the market. Since you can't shut them up, let them follow their own rules!
A seemingly terrifying political dispute was quietly resolved in Dulin's unique way of dealing with it, without even leaving any deliberate traces. Helsman could say nothing more except that he was convinced.
As the weather became colder and colder, and the New Year was approaching, at this time, Dulin suddenly received an invitation from Thomas—an invitation from the top brass of the Navy.
As one of the Navy's most reliable partners, Dulin provides the Navy with a large amount of military expenditures every year. It can be said that the Navy has been able to survive to this day despite losing the military funding allocation from the Ministry of National Defense. Dulin has contributed a lot to this. credit.
His business not only maintains all the expenses of the two naval bases, but can also take care of other places. For two consecutive years, the Navy's top brass invited Dulin to attend the Navy's annual meeting, but due to various reasons he was unable to come. This is the third time the Navy has sent a letter inviting him to attend the Navy Annual Meeting, and it is also the last time!
It was not that they were angry that Dulin had rejected the navy's invitation twice before, but that Dulin was about to become a politician with a specific position. According to the laws of the empire, local officials are not allowed to have free contact with senior military officials for non-official duties while they are in office. This requirement is also true for the military. They cannot easily have excessive interactions with serving officials. Of course, how to distinguish this degree is another matter, but at least such obviously illegal behavior as participating in the annual meeting of Navy senior leaders will not happen in the future.
So this is the last chance, if you don't go there will be no chance.
Du Lin happily went to the appointment, and he had long wanted to have contact with the top brass of the Navy.
The Imperial Ministry of Defense has actually been in contact with the Navy for a long time. When Dulin retreated after the financial tsunami, he was already sensitively aware that on the surface, several naval bases were no different from the past. They were all passively defending, but in fact they were all actively defending. Prepare for war. This means that they may have established a new communication channel with the Ministry of Defense, which also means that the issue of smuggling using the navy may have an impact, and Dulin must grasp some of the information more accurately.
The Navy's annual meeting was scheduled for the first week of December, and Thomas and Dulin went to the Navy's largest base, Štavik Naval Base.
This is the largest base of the Imperial Navy and the last barrier in the Imperial waters. The most distinctive thing about Shtavik Naval Base is that the largest building here is built in the shape of a warship, but it is larger than an ordinary warship. Many, many times!
After passing inspections at three sentries, Dulin finally entered. He was greeted by Vice Admiral Chris, an old soldier in his sixties.
"Mr. Du Lin, we finally meet. I'm very glad that you can come to this year's annual meeting. We have been looking forward to it for a long time!" The old man stretched out his hand, and Du Lin took the initiative to go up and shake his hand, expressing his appreciation for this trip. Anticipation and joy.
Dulin noticed some details. Lieutenant General Chris didn't have a strong military flavor. He didn't have a military temperament like those army generals. Instead, he had something familiar to him, a businessman.
"I want to apologize for the previous two times. Fortunately, I was finally able to come this time!" After Dulin and Lieutenant General Chris let go of their hands, they began to walk towards the warship-like building, chatting as they walked.
So far, the Navy's annual expenditure is more than 100 million. This is an astonishing number, especially when there is no financial allocation. It can still be self-sufficient with an annual military expenditure of 100 million. It can only be said that the people in the Navy are capable of making money. Much more powerful than their ability to fight.
Of course, Dulin is even more powerful. His annual expenses for the Navy have exceeded 8 million, which is close to 10% of the Navy's annual needs. This is why he is able to stand here.
Everyone always maintains a kind attitude toward generous people!
