When Dulin decided to solve these problems for the mother and daughter..., he suddenly discovered that the development of things did not seem to be as he imagined.
Melissa kept looking at him. A person can pretend to be indifferent or enthusiastic, but his eyes cannot deceive.
Looks of disgust and looks of love can be felt without the person telling you.
Du Lin rubbed his temples, sat on the edge of the bed and looked down at the blanket under his feet, "I'm a little dizzy..." Melissa suddenly laughed and quickly closed her mouth, as if laughing out loud at this time was not the right thing. Good thing.
"When..." Du Lin shook his head as soon as he spoke, "I understand, let me calm down."
In fact, he felt a little strange that day... They slept together hugging each other that night, but they got up so early the next day, as if nothing had happened, and went out for a jog. This was something that was impossible in the past. .
Ophelia was very drunk the night before. He knew the girl's condition very well. Even if she drank a little bit of wine, she would fall into a deep sleep, let alone drink so much...
He just felt strange at the time, that's all, and didn't think deeply about it at all, but..., he looked up at Melissa and sighed, "Your youth punched me in the face and hit me. Don’t be angry.”
The corners of Melissa's mouth were slightly raised, but she didn't say anything. Dulin calmed down and stood up, "I don't want to say anything unnecessary. If that's what you really want, I will abide by your decision, but This secret is limited to the two of us, and it may be possible for Nadia to know."
The girl nodded without saying anything. She watched Du Lin leave, then closed the door and sat behind the dressing table next to the window sill. She held her chin in her hands and looked at the spring scenery outside the window, humming a tune silently in her heart.
Anyone who creates a secret will always want to share it with others and surprise them. Dulin's understanding made Melissa feel relaxed and indescribable, just like a naughty child knocking on the door. Opened the neighbor's door and trick-or-treated.
As he walked away, Du Lin didn't know how to explain to Nadia. You can't say that your daughter drank too much and made a wrong decision that day. Moreover, some time before making the wrong decision, Du Lin gave her an exemption from acceptance. Punitive medal of youth.
As soon as he got downstairs, Nadiya looked at him and blocked his perfunctory words.
"Actually... the situation at that time was like this!" Du Lin explained awkwardly.
After returning from the imperial capital, Nadia never gave Du Lin a good look. She even wanted to resign, but Du Lin rejected her offer.
There is no way to deal with this matter forcefully. We can only slowly put it aside and let it cool down, and then let time wash everything away and let it gradually calm down.
After returning to normal work, he quickly fell into busy work. Solving the gold digger's problem was only part of his job. There were many things waiting for him, such as the problem of the Chamber of Commerce.
The problem at the Ambiluo State Chamber of Commerce is not serious. It is not the hardest-hit area in the south. In the Southern City Chamber of Commerce, it can even interfere with the daily work of the state government.
That place was originally the place where the empire's commerce was most developed, and commerce and society as a whole were more closely integrated. It can be said that all aspects of society were kidnapped by commerce.
In a commercialized society, no one can do without these commercial activities. These individuals and forces who run large and small businesses are all members and peripheral members of the chamber of commerce. Once the chamber of commerce has certain demands, they will take action when necessary. They will also learn from what the workers' unions did in the past, and coerce local governments to adopt their demands by controlling social necessities.
Once people are unable to obtain the necessities of life from social commercial activities, their grievances will only be directed towards the city hall and state government, not those operators who refuse to provide goods.
You know, in this world, people are far from the society in Dulin's dream. People are willing to store a lot of social necessities at home, and they can survive even if there is a short-term shortage of supplies.
This gives the Chamber of Commerce great potential influence and power. Interfering with government policies is only part of their exercise of power. The Chamber of Commerce has little reputation among ordinary people, but it is closely related to people's lives.
The influence of the Ambiluo State Chamber of Commerce is not high, because this is the remote west, and commerce is not developed enough. Every household has its own fields or farms. As long as they are not short of bullets, they can get everything they need for survival from the wilderness of the west. thing.
The Chamber of Commerce's influence in Ambiro State is not as formidable as in other states, which happened to give Dulin such an opportunity.
Expelling the Chamber of Commerce is not an impulsive choice. Du Lin knows this very well. If the powers in the hands of the Chamber of Commerce are not subject to official constraints and supervision, the losses caused by the loss of control of these powers will far exceed those of expelling them today. The cost!
At noon, two police officers appeared again at the office of the General Chamber of Commerce in Ambluo State. They showed the relevant legal documents issued by the state court to the front desk and asked the General Chamber of Commerce to provide relevant information about a registered company.
The front desk immediately forwarded the information to the duty manager, who had no authority to decide whether to agree to the two police officers' demands.
The manager was still the same manager as last time. He received the two police officers very warmly and carefully read the relevant legal documents accompanied by a lawyer.
After the reading, the manager and the lawyer went outside the building to talk alone for a while.
"Do we have to cooperate with their investigation and evidence collection?" the manager took out a pack of cigarettes, took two cigarettes, and asked.
The lawyer held the cigarette but did not smoke it. He held his chin and thought for a while before saying, "You can cooperate or not cooperate with their work. According to the relevant laws and regulations of the empire, there is no conclusive evidence to prove that the company they need to investigate has indeed violated the law." Imperial laws, and if the court finds them guilty, we can deny them investigation and evidence collection on the grounds of protecting important information of registered companies.”
This law applies to the two major institutions, the Chamber of Commerce and the Imperial Bank. The reason why this seemingly absurd law was born was actually a lot of games behind it.
When the power of capital was not strong enough, in order to ensure that their own interests were not infringed, they artificially created many leak cases, which caused some companies to be severely damaged and eventually went bankrupt.
It also caused a certain degree of social panic at the time. The power of capital has always been good at creating lies to deceive people who do not know the truth. They linked business information, depositor information and personal privacy information together to incite public opinion and pressure the cabinet.
In the years between when the New Party came to power and the past few years, the cabinet could not produce enough wealth to build the empire, and could only rely on the help of these capitalists for construction. In the Imperial Parliament, the "Secrecy Act" was finally passed. It is also regarded by the capital forces as the first victory of its rise.
The manager nodded. He still trusted the chamber of commerce's legal advisors for more professional legal matters. "So do you think I should cooperate with them or not?"
The lawyer thought carefully for a while again, "I think you should ask the Chamber of Commerce..."
The manager smiled and said, "This is indeed the most appropriate method."
Soon there was a reply from the Chamber of Commerce. They did not clearly state that they would resist the investigation and evidence collection, but they also did not clearly state that they must cooperate. Their answer was to try their best to deal with it. The Ambiro State Chamber of Commerce formed an investigation team. , conduct an internal investigation of this company first.
If the investigation results show that this company has indeed seriously violated the laws of the empire, the information will be sent to the local police station. If it is just some minor problems, then the police's investigation and evidence collection work will be rejected.
It is really just a small case that is not even considered a violation of the law. The Chamber of Commerce in Ambiro State must show its determination and image to fight against local justice in order to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of registered companies.
Only in this way will the capitalists trust the Chamber of Commerce and be willing to work with the Chamber of Commerce to maintain the empire's commercial foundation.
The manager who returned to the office brought some coffee and a fruit plate, and then said warmly, "I told your colleagues last time that according to the provisions of the Empire's "Secrecy Act", we have no right to disclose non-public information. The confidential information of registered enterprises, but the public information can be provided to you. If it is convenient, can you tell me the name or number of the enterprise that you need to investigate and collect evidence? I will ask someone to check whether the information of this enterprise is confidential. "
The two police officers looked at each other, and one of them shook his head, "Sorry, the investigation work is still being carried out secretly. We cannot disclose more details to the outside world. Only if you are sure that you can provide information, we will I will tell you the name of the company we need." The two police officers stood up without even drinking coffee. "Since you can't provide this information, we will leave first."
After watching the two police officers leave, the manager always felt that something was not right. The attitude of the local police station these two times was too gentle, not at all like the wild style of the Western Police Department. They were more like... just going through the motions!
It’s totally the kind of routine that doesn’t require any responsibility!
This made him feel a little uneasy, but it might not be a big problem. After all, there is a reason why the Chamber of Commerce has been able to stand firm despite countless attacks over the years since its establishment.
In the afternoon of the same day, Dulin made a phone call to Rani, the director of the Imperial Taxation Administration. Rani has been prospering for more than a year. What is even more unexpected is that no member of this new party came to power because of the old party. He was transferred, leaving many people waiting for the position dumbfounded.
Of course, Dulin already understood the secret at this time. This was the tacit understanding, or little secret, between Mags and Kubal.
The proud Lani burst into hearty laughter after receiving Du Lin's call. He felt that being able to stay in this position was mainly due to Du Lin's contribution.
