Through the way a person eats, you can sense a certain aspect of his character.
For example, the mayor in front of us, the way he handled his knife and fork while eating was very simple, fast, and powerful, in two or three strokes he cut a piece of beef from the steak, and then he smeared it with sauce, stuffed it in his mouth, and swallowed it quickly.
In fact, some people will be more meticulous, they will cut more times, and the whole process will take longer.
This is because there is a saying that if the table knife cuts too fast and too roughly, it will dislocate and change the texture of the muscle fibers of the food, thus affecting the taste.
This type of person was probably more emotional and pursued things that were more idealized, while someone like His Excellency the Mayor was a representative of pragmatism, where efficiency, value, and results were the things they pursued.
As Lynch secretly watched, His Excellency the Mayor put down his knife and fork, picked up his napkin and dabbed at his lips, raised his wine glass and took a small sip of red wine, "To continue what we were saying, what do you think we should do to change the current situation?"
They had talked about isolationism and the changes in the international scene before, Lynch's mature perspective made it easy to overlook the fact that he was only twenty years old this year, and with the way he was dressed, he looked like he was twenty-four or twenty-five.
But even so, he was still a young man on the path of politics, many politicians were still working as office interns for certain people at the age of twenty-four or twenty-five, and they couldn't even figure out what was going on domestically, let alone internationally.
The more he chatted with Lynch, the more curious His Excellency the Mayor became about what more interesting remarks Lynch could make, and he was looking forward to it!
Lynch also put down his knife and fork at the right time, he wiped the sauce from his lips and thought for a moment before he started to answer: "I think if we, the Progressive Party, are able to get the next ruling power, first of all we have to participate more in the construction of the international community and give play to our strengths, the Baylor Federation may not be the most advanced country in terms of science and technology, but it is definitely at the forefront, and there are a lot of countries that need our help!
His Excellency the Mayor nodded noncommittally, "But have you thought about one question, why should they accept us, why should the international community accept us?" It was a question that was currently being pondered by some of the radicals in Baylor's Federal Society.
Before, the Baylor Federation closed its doors because of the Conservative Party, and now it has suddenly opened them again, and it also wants to participate in the activities of the international community to play an important role, why should they take you for a ride and still let you be the leader?
The leadership of the Progressive Party has also discussed a lot of countermeasures, they already have a series of plans, whether they can be implemented, whether they can be successful or not, it still needs to be verified, but on the whole it is very reassuring to have a concrete method.
His Excellency the Mayor also knew all this, and he asked this question just to see if Lynch's thoughts were the same as those of the Progressive Party's top brass.
The corner of Lynch's mouth twitched slightly, "Responsibility, His Excellency the Mayor, if we take more responsibility for the international community and make more countries realize that the Baylor Federation is a country willing to take more international responsibility, then we will be able to have more say.
His Excellency the Mayor nodded in agreement, and after pondering for a moment on what Lynch had said and the hidden meaning behind those words, his smile grew even wider as he asked, "So where do you think we should start taking on those responsibilities?"
"Start with international humanitarian aid!"
This was going to be a very meaningful lunch, firstly, His Excellency the Mayor and Lynch had aligned their stance and consciousness in certain aspects, laying the groundwork for the Mayor's next great political achievement.
Secondly, what Lynch talked about during the meal, there were words about the Baylor Federation and the international community in between, also gave the Mayor a great inspiration, he would organize these materials and then send them to the top management of the Progressive Party so that everyone can meet and discuss whether it is valuable and can be used by the Progressive Party.
If it could be used, it would be his achievement as well, whether he had contributed a talent to the Progressive Party or he had selflessly contributed these contents, he was doing credit to the Progressive Party as a whole.
If it's not useful, it's not a fault, as long as one doesn't make public statements against the Progressive Party, no one would think that talking could be a fault.
Anyway, things were about to change with this meal, and at the same time Lynch had an additional identity - a member of the Progressive Party.
On the way back, Ferrell drove the car, looking through the rearview mirror at Lynch, who was sitting in the back row, with a somewhat strange expression on his face.
When they left, His Excellency the Mayor had specifically instructed him to drive Lynch back, this kind of treatment wasn't seen many times a year, only the big shots or important guests could enjoy it, he hadn't expected Lynch to be subjected to it at such a young age.
What followed was some jealousy, but the jealousy soon faded away, as long as he maintained a proper friendship with Lynch, in the future, after the mayor was promoted, he would have the opportunity to be nominated and thus run for the party election and become the mayoral candidate of Sabine.
If he was going to go that route, it was imperative that he had a golden father behind him to support him; a candidate without money would always be just a candidate.
Thinking about this, he cleared his throat and opened his mouth to ask, "Do you have any difficulties that need to be solved for this mobile auction?" He said without forgetting to add a very considerate reminder, "For example, the venue issue?"
Although the open space in the warehouse district was large enough, the environment was still a bit poor, and if this matter was not related to His Excellency the Mayor, then no one would say anything even if he organized it in the toilet.
But the background of this matter was about to be linked to the Mayor's push, and it would be a bit inappropriate to hold it in the open space of the Warehouse District.
Lynch nodded and said, "There are indeed some new ideas, I want to borrow Sabine's gym, it's just that the formalities might be a bit cumbersome.
Special venues for special things, Sabine City's gym was not a normal financial allocation down the line, the state government didn't think Sabine City needed a good gym because there were no local professional sports teams.
With no professional sports teams, there was no need for a professional stadium, but apparently the city government had other ideas, and with some capitalists and the community at large pooling their money, the stadium was eventually built.
A few years ago a local businessman started a rugby team, but for many other reasons it didn't work out, and the stadium became a place for ordinary people to relax, in a semi-deserted state, the turf hasn't been changed for more than a year.
But even so, if you want to move the stadium for other purposes, even if it is only half a day a day, there will be a lot of resistance, individuals are not likely to be able to apply down.
Ferrell thought about it after hearing it, "This place is indeed a good place, but you ... have to pay some to plug some people's mouths.
Lynch nodded a little, "You know, money's not a problem for me."
Ferrell said with a flirtatious smile, "Then it's no problem!"
If the Mobile auction itself was the trigger that shocked the entire Sabine and even the entire state at the size of that Mobile auction, then Lynch's share of the profits to the businessman was the second trigger.
From what was revealed in some of the evening papers, some people actually got a share of eight thousand dollars, and this news exploded like a bomb in the crowd in the context of this economic downturn.
Immediately, the phone of Lynch's office was bursting with people, and many people were inquiring about the conditions of how to become a salesman of this company, and in their opinion, as long as they became a salesman of Star Trading Corporation, it would be the same as being able to lie down and make money!
