Blackstone Code Chapter 790: Time has changed us
After a sumptuous and somewhat confusing dinner, Lynch and Katherine said goodbye to Ms. Tracey and returned to Lynch's residence.
"What do you think of the meal you had at night?" Katherine asked while nibbling on an apple while lying on the sofa. She wanted to hear Lynch's opinion.
The meal at night was indeed very artistic. It was obviously a simple grilled fish steak, but it was turned into a whale breathing on the sea by the cook.
The fish steak is the body of a whale. They also use a kind of fish skin, which is simply fried and then spread on the upper part of the fish steak. It looks like the blue-black color of the whale's back.
The soup used to serve the meal is paired with some vegetable leaves to become the sea. It does look very artistic and has a good fragrance.
But the taste... as those gourmets say, it's a good dinner if you don't think about the taste.
Lynch said unconcealedly, "I'm not full, the portion is too small."
The girl also laughed when she heard it, "Yes, the portion is too small, I feel like I can eat a little more."
Perhaps in order to create that sense of picture, each food is more used for the expressiveness of the picture than the food that really fills the stomach.
Lynch looked at Katherine, "What flavor of scones would you like?"
"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 pizza in another world, but in this world its name is not pizza, but "cheese round cake", which is simplified as scones, a very common filling stomach food.
In the past, when Katherine and Lynch were still living together, ordering a scones was equivalent to a big meal. After all, for them, who could only afford the cheap food processed by the supermarket, the four Ninety-nine cents is not a cheap price.
Every once in a while, Catherine would order one to comfort herself and Lynch. People always want to eat something intermittently.
She leaned on Lynch's shoulder and looked at the dark night outside the window, as if she was remembering something.
Lynch did not disturb her. After a while, her attention was recovered from the aimless and scattered thoughts and placed on Lynch.
"Do you really think that one day, women will also be able to take the political stage?" She asked a little suddenly, as if she was full of confusion about her future, "I mean, can we really go to an important position instead of being a vase?"
During this period of time, her internship experience at the Presidential Palace made her feel that the country, especially the high-level government, is still quite discriminatory against women.
There are not a single woman in the hundreds of seats in Congress, and there is not a single woman in the top government cabinet. 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.
It's discouraging that no woman is in an important, irreplaceable position.
She even discovered some other things that society didn't know about. For example, one of the most successful affirmative action programs of the feminist movement over the years, the military, has huge problems.
When some people used the statement "only men can defend the country, so men dominate the society" to attack some of the ideas of feminist organizations, feminist organizations fought back fiercely.
If a man can be a soldier, so can a woman!
So there is a female soldier in the federal military, yes, the "female soldier" branch.
They were doing training similar to that of the male soldiers, and they were not too far behind in some projects. At that time, the society also gave very positive reports.
But in reality, some things are bad.
Not long ago, Kathleen was also exposed to a Department of Defense report that spoke of violations within the military.
Because the army is a relatively closed field and quite dictatorial, the absolute obedience of subordinates to superiors can easily breed something that should not be breed.
Issues such as some female soldiers being asked to bathe with their male counterparts, to live in the same camp, and even other excessive demands were not disclosed.
After reading it, my heart stopped beating for half a beat, and every word and line of smeared descriptions made people have a fearful reverie.
Women, after all, do not occupy a dominant position in this society, let alone being strong, even being weak is an extravagant hope.
Can they really stand up?
Catherine is skeptical.
He seemed to be able to feel some changes in Catherine's inner emotions. Lynch didn't give her any answer right away. He thought about it for a while before slowly saying, "Of course!"
The tone is not strong, but full of unwavering strength.
"This is a trend that no one can stop. If you take the first step, you are ahead of the times!"
Others may not be so sure about these things, but after all, Lynch is a "come here", and even some "deserts" have been captured in the end, not to mention the Federation here, a country where the air is sweet and free?
The girl did not continue to speak, but just sat quietly.
It's not a job she likes, but she realizes that if she doesn't want to be left behind, she has to.
Sometimes there is always a choice.
"Do you like your life now?", the girl asked again after a while.
Lynch did not answer immediately, but thought for a while, "I don't hate the current life, this is enough for us."
"If you want to see the scenery on the top of the mountain, you must 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. It is not forced, but I think it should be the best choice."
"The best choice is probably the least we like!"
The girl was silent for a while and then stopped talking about the topic. She talked about some recent changes.
"You know, those classmates always tried to contact me in the past, but they actually wrote me a letter and mailed it to the Presidential Palace!" Maybe she had already made a decision in her heart, or she didn't want Lynch to worry about her , the topic she chose was somewhat interesting.
Of course, she also sighed, "Some of them are people I don't know. I can't even put their names on their faces, but they are very kind in the letter."
"Life is always so unexpected, and my brother, if you haven't forgotten him..."
It was Catherine's brother who came to take Catherine away. It was not her own brother, but her uncle's son. It could be said to be a cousin, but the federal people don't pay attention to this. complicated name.
Lynch nodded, "I remember him, he was a little bit beaten."
Katherine laughed, "Yes, that's him. He also called me and wanted to find a job here. Everyone thinks I'm an almighty little witch, wave a wand...", She raised her hand and made a waving motion, "...everything is settled."
Since Katherine was on TV and people knew she had interned at the Presidential Palace, she has become a complete "big man" in the eyes of those around her.
I can meet with Mr. President every day, what is not a big man?
So some people want to get in touch. If she can say two good words for herself in front of Mr. President, what can she get?
These changes also caused Catherine to be confused for a while, but she soon found a direction from the confusion. These people want to show affection not because of her, but because of her work.
People are very real life. Those who have never spoken to her do their best to express themselves in order to have a little possible power. This is probably the reason why people are keen on power, right?
Everyone was holding her, which wasn't a bad feeling.
It didn't take long for the sergeant to come back with scones. He and the other bodyguards also shared several copies.
Lynch is not a mean boss. Everyone came to thank Mr. Lynch for his generosity, and then took a piece and returned to his post.
It's not that they can't afford scones. Catherine knows very well that everyone's salary is enough for them to eat scones. It's just that this "boss treat" scones are not so easy to eat, and it's not just scones. It's just that, it contains the goodwill of the boss.
It's like...the President's scones, it's an honor and an honor to eat it.
Two people who achieved cheese freedom eat only the heart of the scones and the pit on top, and throw the edge back into the carton~IndoMTL.com~ They watch TV, discuss some plots, most of them When Katherine was talking, Lynch was listening, and he didn't watch TV much.
Inexplicably, this picture seems to overlap with a certain moment in the memory of the two of them. They just lived in that small room, ate cheap junk food, and fought for some TV dramas. Red face.
Now they eat better and live in a better environment, but there is no noise.
I was speechless all night.
The next day, after Lynch sent Katherine to work, he went to the financial center. He hadn't seen him for more than two months, and Lime had become a lot more docile.
I don't believe that Lynch made him a huge loss. The money he made since he followed Lynch was thrown back into it.
This also made him realize a truth. His experience may be useful to the bottom layer in the financial field, but it is still too naive for big players.
In order to avoid risks, split up a company and then file for bankruptcy. Whether the other party sues or not, they start the litigation first and drag the bankrupt company into the lawsuit.
Companies worth tens of millions of dollars are gone, just like a bubble that bursts as soon as it is punctured.
Lime, who has always been at the bottom, has never seen this kind of gameplay. He not only lost, but also lost badly. This tuition cost all his hard work in the past two years.
Fortunately, he was able to actively recognize his mistakes and move closer to Lynch, so that he would still have a place in Bupen.
