Blackstone Code

Catherine, who came out of the apartment with Lynch, was still in some kind of "shock" at this time. She originally planned to go to a local media company in Curiland for an internship. The parents of one of her female classmates worked as a middle-level employee in this company.

Through this female classmate with whom she has a good relationship, she can easily get the intern card. After three months of internship, if she gets an excellent evaluation, she can go back to the library and continue reading.

This is the life that Catherine has arranged for herself for the next year. Three months will be used to complete the evaluation, and the remaining time will continue to enrich herself.

She had never considered the possibility of working as an intern in a place like the Presidential Palace. For God's sake, she had never dreamed of such a thing!

Looking at Lynch holding her hand, Catherine suddenly felt a little sad. The gap between her and Lynch was getting wider and wider, and she could almost lose sight of him!

Three years ago, when she and he were still living in that small shabby rental house, their fantasies about the future were limited to "having a house of their own," being able to "afford to raise children," and "both of them having a stable job." .

Who would have imagined that in just a short time, she would actually go to the Presidential Palace for an internship, and Lynch would write the letter of recommendation herself.

Although her hand was obviously held by him, it gave Catherine a very unreal feeling, as if she would be far away from him or be far away from him anytime and anywhere.

She used some strength and held Lin Qi's hand tightly. Only in this way could she feel that she would not get lost.

Lin Qi glanced at her, held it back, and smiled.

"Don't be nervous, it's easy!"

This idiot, the girl thought, but there was some smile on her face, at least Lynch also held her hand tightly, she took a deep breath, she was going to follow!

The two went to the bookstore first. In Lynch's words, you don't need to know how to handle national affairs when you intern in the presidential palace, but you must at least know how many states there are in the federation, what cities are in each state, and what is the name of the governor of each state? , what is the name of the speaker of the state House of Representatives?

Contents that are roughly equivalent to "geographical knowledge" are actually the most frequently asked questions in the presidential office. Some media have exposed a small scandal. The president or related people's first thought is often not "What should I do?" Or "How to refute rumors."

But “Where the fuck did this news come from?”

The federation is small, with seventeen states, but the federation is very large, with two to three hundred cities. No one can remember these people all the time, so there are secretaries and interns.

"Who is that, who is the mayor of such-and-such city in such-and-such state?" This kind of question often appears in the presidential palace. Really professional things are done by professional people, and interns only need to deal with these things.

Lynch selected books that are basically related to the division of federal administrative regions. They will introduce the division of federal states and cities in detail, and there are also some books on federal geography.

For example, where are the six major lakes in the federation, where are the five major national forest parks in the federation, how many volcanoes are there in the federation, etc. These sometimes become "casual questions."

While selecting books, Catherine unexpectedly met two schoolmates, a boy and a girl. It looked like they were also here to fall in love.

"Hey, Catherine!" A blond girl waved her hand. She was wearing a pink short navel-baring T-shirt and a pair of tight jeans underneath. She was very youthful and energetic.

Lynch suspected that there was something hidden in her clothes, otherwise she wouldn't look so... full.

Next to her was a big boy who looked similar to her, with slightly long and unruly hair, a vest, and an open shirt that was one size too big.

Because of his hair, I can't see clearly what he looks like. Boys at this time always have some inexplicable ideas. They can be said to be mavericks, but in fact they are more boring. They always feel that they can lead the trend.

"Hi, Jane..." Catherine also waved. Although some people who were choosing books looked up at the two girls, they did not show much displeasure.

Pretty girls always have privileges.

"Wow, is this your boyfriend?" The girl named "Jane" looked at Lynch with gleaming eyes, "I've never heard you say that... Wait, he looks familiar. !”

Not everyone pays attention to the news, especially these adolescent children whose family conditions are relatively good and their hormones are very rampant.

Well, around 20 years old, it’s the right time.

It was normal for her not to recognize Lin Qi, she just thought she had seen him somewhere.

After thinking for a while, unexpectedly, the girl stretched out her hand, "You are very handsome. Your girlfriend hides you very closely. Let's get to know each other, Jane."

Lynch held the girl's hand, shook it, and then shook it again, "Lynch."

The boy next to the girl was a little unhappy at first. There was no doubt that Lin Qi shook his hands twice, which made him instinctively resentful. After all, the girl next to him was his girlfriend. She was shaking so fiercely, and there was nothing special about him. Hobby.

But at this moment, Lynch's name stunned him.

Unlike girls who put too much energy on various fashion magazines and TV movies, boys occasionally pay a little attention to those influential figures.

It's not that they are really eager to learn, they just want to compare with these people and see where they lose.

The girl seemed to know Lynch's bad taste, and she was not very disgusted. She smiled and said to Catherine, "Your boyfriend is not a good person."

Catherine nodded with a smile, "He's always been like this."

Well, obviously he is not the quarterback, but the female cousins ​​on the cheerleading team are eager to cheat on him, which makes the quarterback in the school always wonder if he is playing a match-fixing game.

Lynch's bad jokes are always frequent. In fact, he is not making fun of people, nor does he want to make anyone look embarrassed. He is just "innocent" and "simple".

When Lynch reached out to the boy next to Jane, the big boy became nervous.

He rubbed his right hand on his body and wiped the sweat off his palm before holding Lynch's hand, "Mr. Lynch, my name is Kevin."

"Kevin, hello!"

Kevin's performance, his attitude was a bit...indescribably awkward, hard to put it, like he was inexplicably arrogant.

Jane, who was not angry even after Lynch made a joke, was a little angry now because her boyfriend behaved so badly that she felt she had lost face.

She quietly nudged her boyfriend with her elbow. The latter rolled his eyes at her and then retracted his hand, but he was still a little embarrassed.

Lynch knew that the young man recognized him, and he smiled and said, "It seems that you are here for a date, and so are we, so let's..."

Jane quickly smiled and said goodbye to the two of them. When she watched Lynch and Catherine go to check out, she said with some displeasure, "You are so disappointing!"

"Disappointed?" Kevin returned to normal at this time, "Oh my god, haven't you recognized who he is yet?"

The girl seemed to realize something, "Who is he?"

"Lynch, the youngest Mr. Ten Billionaire, my God, have you never watched the news?" He said as if he thought of something, "How is your relationship with Catherine?"

The girl curled her lips and said, "Just so so, she is a bit unsociable."

Not gregarious, not joining various sororities, not smoking, not drinking, not being promiscuous, not taking off my clothes and surfing on the grass.

In fact, the girl group is not very welcoming of this kind of "good girl". They prefer those who can have fun, not nerds.

However, although the relationship is very ordinary, we can still talk.

The older boy sighed, "If you have a good relationship, maybe we can get Mr. Lynch to write us a letter of recommendation..." He glanced at his girlfriend, "But it doesn't look like that."

…

This was just a small episode. After buying the book, the two of them walked around, and Lynch bought some new season clothes for Catherine.

The clothes looked a bit rigid and less flashy, but that was exactly what she needed most.

It is not easy to be an intern at the Presidential Palace, and the dress code is also very strict. More than one person wants to get some promotion in a place like the Presidential Palace in some way, so the dress code for female staff has become strict. The dress code is stricter than that of high school and college.

Various women's rights organizations have protested against this matter, believing that the federal government's requirement that female federal civil servants' clothing must meet certain standards is discriminatory against women, but so far, the protests are just protests.

Taking the order, the two watched a movie outside and had a sumptuous dinner before returning to the apartment.

The manager of the apartment has been replaced by another guy. The young man resigned and left inexplicably. The management company had to urgently transfer someone.

When Lynch and others came back, the manager of the management company was telling the new administrator some special things to pay attention to.

The heat of summer makes people sweat profusely, so they naturally need to take a shower after returning to the apartment, and there is only one bed in the apartment...

Sometimes some things are so interesting. Even if they have been separated for a while, the familiar feeling of facing themselves is still the same as before.

A night of silence.

Lynch stayed here for several days, mainly to explain to Catherine some preparations that needed to be made first. In fact, it didn't matter if she didn't prepare.

As a die-hard "presidential" person, Lynch will not be fired even if the people he recommends make mistakes.

But it is better to be prepared than not to be prepared, because opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.

At the same time, some old news began to circulate among the student community, such as Catherine's boyfriend.

This is not a new topic. In fact, it has been reported twice before. Someone saw Lynch and Catherine together, but Lynch did not appear again for a long time.

A female classmate with whom Katherine was close came to visit her the day after Lynch left.

She just wanted to tell her best friend that she must hold on this time and not be deceived by that stinky man Lynch!
