"Let's get married!" (Congratulations to several book friends for guessing the correct answer, 666)
Alice was stunned for a moment by the young man's words. Wasn't this man's brain caught in the door
How could he say such rash words
Alice, who was about to hang up the phone, gave up the idea of hanging up the phone immediately after hearing what the young man said next.
"Please listen to what I have to say. Your mother called me at night..." Perhaps the key word Alice's mother played a role, which made Alice patiently continue to listen. "She asked me how we got along. Well, I answered her, although it’s not true, but it also made me think of another question, one that you need to look at directly, Alice.”
"You cannot tell everyone publicly that you are not in love or what is the fundamental reason why you are not married. You cannot tell your parents, your friends, and the entire society because you are Dulin's mistress, so you must Stay single."
"You have to face this problem. There is no point in escaping. And you should also understand that as a government worker, you must maintain your social image. The most important one is family issues."
Alice's brows gradually furrowed. She turned around and leaned against the wall, and said in a low tone, "Go on...".
She had been deliberately ignoring these inevitable problems. She felt that she was still very young and there might not be any problem in delaying for another three to five years. However, the young man's words made Alice realize that even if she could delay for that long, it would not be possible. It takes longer.
Because all this must have an explanation and a result, this is indeed a thorny issue, her marital status.
For government officials, family is a very sacred thing, because the integrity of the family means a more stable personal status and the courage to assume social responsibilities. Maintaining family relationships well has been regarded as an official, or A symbol of the qualifications of a politician. In this world that attaches great importance to family, getting married and starting a family has almost become a symbol of everyone's transition from youth to maturity, and it is a manifestation of responsibility and ability.
If Alice does not get married and remains single, she will not be able to go far in the future political arena. She will always be able to occupy a secondary position. It is simply impossible to take charge of the political party. Alice, who has begun to develop an inexplicable and fanatical pursuit of power, obviously does not want to see this happen. The expression on her face at this time is not at all like the calmness, rationality and maturity that a twenty-two-year-old girl can show.
The young man on the other end of the phone breathed a sigh of relief. This was a very good sign. Alice did not hang up the phone, which meant that there was a possibility of success.
"We can get married, just a symbolic marriage, and then I will live my life and you will live yours. You don't need to worry about the tsunami of public opinion that will be caused when your secret is discovered one day. Your parents will no longer To urge you to get married, you don't need to make up all kinds of lies to deceive them. You can even give birth to a child for Du Lin, which is not an illegitimate child. At least there is a 'father' to cover his true identity. "
Alice suddenly interrupted the young man and asked a more pointed question, "We all know that society's tolerance for women's cheating is far lower than chaotic behavior before marriage. Do you understand what I mean?"
The social atmosphere of Yaoxing Empire is sometimes very open, but sometimes very conservative. Before marriage, people don't mind how chaotic the private lives of boys and girls or those who are single are, even if they are naked. The appearance of the naked body on the street will only attract a lot of people to watch, or it will be on the news.
But once you get married and form a family, each family member must restrain their own nature and remain loyal to the family, because marriage is sacred and blessed by God.
A chaotic private life before marriage will be regarded as young people being ignorant, but cheating after marriage will be very scary, especially for women.
Men are more relaxed in this regard. Perhaps this is what feminist organizations want to tell people. Men's cheating can be regarded as romantic, but women's cheating is despicable...
Faced with the question suddenly raised by Alice, the young man was speechless. However, excellent people will show excellence in all aspects. His quick wit found the answer for him, "I will be a very bad husband." , the main responsibility for finding women outside and staying up all night is on me. And when you need to have a tryst with Du Lin, I can rest nearby, and we are just visiting friends."
Alice asked, "What do you want?!"
The young man took a deep breath, suppressed the ripples in his heart, and said softly, "Opportunity, I want a chance!"
After a moment, Alice gave him an answer that required him to guess, "You are such a scumbag, sir!"
Alice is obviously moved, but it may take some time for her to accept it, and to think about more details.
While Alice was troubled by the young man's proposal, Dulin was also talking on the phone.
"Someone's messing with me!"
When Dulin received the call, he was shocked by the content. He quickly laughed, "I heard that because the feminist organizations are making great progress, the Gay Alliance also wants to do something big. Have you joined them? "
His little joking sarcasm did not distract Harry. The call came from Harry, "I won't let them be interested in my butthole, and I won't be in the mood to do that. I It means that my being punished this time was premeditated.”
Du Lin was about to rest, but because of Harry's words, he sat up from the bed. He put a pillow behind him to make himself more comfortable, took a cigarette to light the wound, and asked after a moment , "Sorry, I didn't understand."
"I investigated those two contractors. They suddenly obtained a large amount of funds in the middle of the year before last, and then they bit me. In other words, they did abscond with the money, but Someone gave them a sum of money to deceive me and gave them the illusion of successful financing. It was because of these things that I was taken down by those bastards in Powers." Harry became more and more angry as he spoke. His rapid breathing was clearly heard, "These sons of bitches, they made up a lie in order to remove me from power, and used such harsh means to achieve their goal, but I will not give in."
Du Lin took a few puffs of cigarette and thought for a while.
Harry himself comes from a noble family and is also a governor. It can be said that his future is bright and he is one of the most worthy investments in the family. Now that he has lost his position as governor due to official crimes, and his party rating has been lowered a lot. After he and his family have suffered huge losses, they will definitely want to know how all this happened and look for possible clues. Chance.
Then they found out some things. Even if Harry lost his position as governor, with his undiminished connections and his family's influence, it was very simple to find out the bank details of a few little people.
In fact, when you think about it, this is quite normal. The entire family invested a lot of resources in Harry, but on the eve of victory, he was suddenly dismissed. The investment of seven or eight years, maybe even longer, was wasted in one day. No one can bear such a result, and it is inevitable to figure out why such a thing happened.
Du Lin talked about the cigarette ashes for a while and asked in a calm tone, "Then what are you going to do?"
"I know that you have a very prominent position in some aspects. I need you to help me find those two people and the investors behind them. I think they should all be in the same group. As long as I find them, I will know who they are. Who is messing with me behind my back? I can’t find anyone capable in this area, so I can only ask you.”
Du Lin pondered for a moment and agreed to his request, "I will help you pay attention to this matter, but even if you find them, it will be meaningless to your current situation. No matter whether they have instructions to deliberately frame you, you charge Money breaks certain rules. The things themselves don't change, they're just triggers."
"I know, I know, I have never considered relying on these people to stand up...", Harry's tone gradually became more serious, "But! But I can't know nothing and be punished for no reason, at least let me know my Whoever the opponent is, I can repay their attention to me."
This was what prompted Harry to call Dulin. He wanted to find out why it was him, whether there had been any conflicts between him and them, and then take revenge.
As for the rest, he is still young and has plenty of time to wait for the next opportunity.
After hanging up the phone, Dulin put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray. He didn't expect Harry to care so much about this matter, which caused a little trouble. But the good news is that Harry entrusted this matter to himself, which gave Dulin more room for maneuver. If he found someone else, it might become a time bomb.
After thinking about some countermeasures, Du Lin turned off the light, covered himself with a quilt and fell into sleep.
Early the next morning, he embarked on a journey back to the Imperial Capital. He had many things to do in the Imperial Capital in the near future, including the transfer procedures for the property in Odis City and the completion of the engagement ceremony with Ophelia.
It is said that people from the royal family will also come to attend the engagement ceremony, which will inevitably become a hot topic in society in the near future. This also means that Du Lin will truly enter a new circle - the aristocratic circle.
They are all annoying things...
