Personal Attendant, this is a respectful title for a certain high-profile figure’s staff officer, and it also reflects these people’s special status.
They have a close relationship with the high-profile figure, and can to so extent influence their thoughts and decisions, yet they remain inconspicuous.
It’s a very unique job, but also not entirely advantageous, with nurous downsides—many.
But now is not the ti to discuss these things; Ferrari is facing a decision, Lynch’s perspective is spot-on and straightforward. He requires nothing from Ferrari beyond "consultancy" services, not even for him to advocate for Lynch in certain areas. He simply needs occasional answers to Lynch’s questions or his opinions.
This is legitimate inco; no one can label it as illegal. The purpose of today’s eting was to make Lynch compromise, yet unexpectedly... ultimately, the one who had to compromise was himself.
The atmosphere in the room fell into a kind of silence, with only the sound of gradually shallow breathing remaining. Lynch looked at Ferrari, Ferrari looked at the check on the table.
He needed to give himself a reason that could strengthen his thoughts, to persuade himself not to pick up this check. But if he failed to persuade himself...
Actually, from the mont he started thinking of persuading himself not to pick it up, he had already lost.
Everyone knows that when a person finds reasons for themselves, anything can beco an excuse.
After about four to five minutes, Ferrari picked up the check from the table, folded it a little, and slipped it into his jacket pocket. Lynch stood up voluntarily and extended his hand, with so gratitude on his face, to shake hands with Ferrari, "With your joining, I believe my company will continually be creating miracles."
Looking at Lynch, it seed as if he had exerted trendous effort to persuade Ferrari to help him, as if Ferrari’s assistance was his honor. But both knew internally that this was the hardest to grasp, yet the most crucial thing in society—performance.
After the "deep gratitude" ended, the two re-seated themselves, the atmosphere in the room had subtly changed.
"Advisor, I’m currently facing so difficulties..." Lynch leaned back a bit, "Soone told that gatherings of more than fifty people in Sabin City require prior application to the Social Services Bureau, and timing-wise, it’s no longer feasible for us. Do we have other ways to solve this issue and ensure our auction tomorrow is not delayed?"
At this mont, Ferrari deeply felt a powerful aura emanating robustly from Lynch, seemingly elegant, but in essence, fierce.
He had encountered many people, mayors, heads of various departnts, so celebrities in Sabin City, large capitalists, people of various kinds.
Indeed, so people possess a certain aura, but none can compare to Lynch. He seed young, yet gave an impression as facing a well-esteed high-profile figure of about fifty years old, celebrated in the Federation and renowned internationally.
Just language, tone, eye contact, attitude; even a subtle gesture would instinctively straighten one’s spine and hold their breath.
He moved instinctively, which made him sowhat uneasy, but the check was now in his pocket. From the mont he picked up the check, so things began to change.
This ti, his purpose here wasn’t actually to find fault with Lynch; rather, it could be said he was here to offer Lynch benefits.
Perhaps the young man wasn’t aware how much his flyers stirred this small city. Although it was just a belt, many people paid attention and planned to participate, even in so places, people were discussing it.
This was the first unprecedented approach—a free belt giveaway. The mayor’s office outside City Hall—every leader has a personal office separate from the Federation Governnt, responsible for various other aspects of work and business.
Including so comrcial activities, which are inevitable. In Bail Federal, one cannot accomplish things without the President’s Cabinet’s support or the capitalists’ backing.
So matters still have ways without the President’s Cabinet’s support; however, without the capitalists’ backing...
The office noticed Lynch’s auction had already caused a sensation, potentially drawing at least two to three thousand people, possibly more.
If the mayor wanted to gather such a large crowd, it might require many resources, including reaching agreents with so capitalists. This isn’t easy and might take two to three months to prepare.
But Lynch managed to gather these people within a week; the office imdiately had so thoughts.
Sabin City, like other cities within the Federation, faced nurous troubles—economic recession, increased unemploynt, heightened cri rates, rising urban unrest... Before this, the mayor already had so new ideas and planned to hold an open public speech outdoors.
On one hand, to boost morale for all Sabin City citizens; on the other hand, to announce so newly promulgated policies to appease public panic.
Surely, Lynch’s auction would not beco the mayor’s speech venue—that would be too lowbrow. It’s rely a warm-up, and the office’s staff have a further idea: portraying Lynch’s large-scale second-hand goods auction as one of the mayor’s initiatives aiding the populace.
The staff in the office had already discussed that this is indeed an effective thod. Even amidst economic decline, people’s consur desires wouldn’t entirely extinguish.
Using so good-quality, affordable second-hand goods to satisfy so people’s latent consur desires could not only calm public sentint but also solve a part of social issues.
More importantly, they noticed sothing overlooked by everyone on the flyers: Lynch’s company also recycles various second-hand items!
Revitalizing the second-hand economy, whether it can solve the lower classes’ living needs, remains an unverified proposition, yet it represents hope. The sky steadily darkens, even if this "star" isn’t very bright, it can surely shine so light.
If Lynch and his team could accomplish this task well, without a doubt, it would beco one of the mayor’s significant achievents while governing Sabin City.
If Lynch fails to do this job, lets it slip through or encounters issues, it would rely prove an eternal truth: policies are good but issues arise during execution.
As for whether Lynch would agree?
No need to consider this minor issue—they have already investigated Lynch; indeed, he recently made so money, but rely so money which they could easily squash.
Lynch didn’t apply for a gathering permit from the Social Services Bureau, which is just a temporary excuse. If he refuses, even if he postpones the auction, he wouldn’t get any permit or venue.
Ways to corner an ordinary person are abundant.
However, Ferrari hadn’t thought that before doing the job, he already got trapped. But soon, a hint of delight arose: if Lynch realized his intention might not be a bad thing, would he regret the five thousand in his pocket?
He looked forward to it, so he cooperatively gave the answer to Lynch’s concerns.
Just cooperate with City Hall for a series of promotions. When the ti cos, City Hall will dispatch soone to stage an unveiling event, describing it as a policy helping the populace. Then Lynch won’t need to declare to the Social Services Bureau—the authority and function of City Hall supersedes the Social Services Bureau, notifying them afterward will suffice.
He also discussed so benefits within, then seriously observed Lynch, but he was destined to be disappointed.
Lynch didn’t show any sign of lanting the extra five thousand spent; he just asked another question, "Is there a subsidy?"
This statent montarily startled Ferrari; he sowhat doubted if he had misheard sothing, slightly leaning his body forward as if getting closer to ask, "Sorry, what did you just say?"
"I said, is there a subsidy?" Lynch slowed down his speech a bit, making each word clearer, "If the auction is considered a City Hall-promoted initiative, or even an important decision, then there should be corresponding subsidies, right?"
"How much, how to apply, and to whom should one apply?"
Suddenly, Ferrari felt this consultancy fee wasn’t easy to earn, Lynch imdiately presented him with a problem.
