In the government office, Maupassant took Lin Zhiming to visit various departments.
Lin Zhiming actually felt that Maupassant's actions were meaningless at all. He was indeed very good in the Dragon Kingdom, but he was not an official and had never been an official. He could not give any opinions or suggestions on the operation of the government. Go
It was just a matter of recognizing people, recognizing faces with this official or that, etc., and then taking a few group photos, and then went to Maupassant's office to have a cordial chat with Maupassant.
Lin Zhiming also couldn't understand why these officials did this. It seems that this kind of thing often happens in China. The leader of a certain place invites a certain star to come to the local area for guidance. You said he can act and sing.
What can we do to guide local people?
At this time, in Maupassant's office.
"Mr. Lin, do you smoke?" Maupassant asked.
"Sometimes!" Lin Zhiming nodded.
"Then you must try the cigars from my private collection, the finest cigars from the country of cigars!" Maupassant said as he opened one of his lockers and took out a box from it.
"This was given to me by an important friend in the cigar country!" Maupassant opened the cigar box, took out a cigar and handed it to Lin Zhiming.
After Lin Zhiming handled the cigar in a decent manner, he lit the cigar and took a puff.
"Not bad!" Lin Zhiming smiled.
Maupassant also lit a cigar like Lin Zhiming and said with a smile, "I have wanted to introduce cigars to our city of York for a while and build a cigar factory there to create more jobs for our local residents in York City.
opportunity, but the idea was never implemented.”
"Why?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"The main reason is that Mr. Duke does not support it. He feels that our place is not suitable for cigar business." Maupassant said.
"Is it possible that Mr. Duke can influence the government's will?" Lin Zhiming asked in surprise.
"That's not true, but it will be difficult to do things in York without the support of Mr. Duke." Maupassant smiled and shook his head.
Lin Zhiming raised his eyebrows. Maupassant's simple sentence revealed a lot of meaning.
No wonder Maupassant asked him to guide the work today. After Natalie becomes a duke in the future, he will be the duke’s husband. As a person who can blow the wind and please himself, to a certain extent, it will deepen his relationship with the duke.
Duke's relationship.
Lin Zhiming smiled, looked around and said, "Mr. Mayor's office looks quite exquisite. Why don't you show me around?"
"If you want to visit, then of course I am willing to take you to visit!" Maupassant said, stood up and introduced the things in the office to Lin Zhiming.
The most common ones are photos with various important figures, just like many local officials.
It seems that knowing more important people has become a kind of capital for them.
While introducing, Maupassant vaguely revealed his intention to run for the next leader of the corrupt country.
It's obvious that he is a very motivated person.
However, this is not good news for Lin Zhiming. A motivated person will take important things around him very seriously and rigorously. The key to the lithography machine is a very important thing. Maupassant will definitely treat it
This kind of thing is well hidden, and nothing will happen to it.
The two of them were chatting casually, while Lin Zhiming observed the entire office.
The area of the office is only about 40 to 50 square meters. There is a large desk. Behind the desk is a bookcase against the wall. The bookcase is very large. There are books on it, as well as some certificates and so on. The other side of the wall is with various
There are group photos of big shots, and a set of sofas are placed opposite the desk, which is used to receive visitors.
After walking around the office, Lin Zhiming and Maupassant sat back on the sofa.
"This time I came to visit Mr. Mayor, and I also brought a gift to Mr. Mayor!" Lin Zhiming said with a smile.
"Really? Thank you so much, Mr. Lin!" Maupassant said in surprise.
Lin Zhiming glanced at Ye Shan, who took out a cube-shaped transparent box from the bag she carried with her.
Inside the box is a golden Buddha.
Seeing this golden Buddha, Maupassant was stunned.
It's not that he has never received gifts from visitors, but they are basically relatively elegant things, such as calligraphy, paintings, porcelain, etc. It's really unprecedented for Lin Zhiming to take out a golden Buddha in one go.
.
"I believe in Buddhism, so I often carry Buddha statues with me. This is a golden Buddha made by an artist from our Dragon Kingdom. The entire body is made of pure gold. It can be a good decoration at home!" Lin
Zhiming said.
Ye Shan walked up to Maupassant holding the golden Buddha in both hands.
"This, Mr. Lin, this is a bit too expensive!" Maupassant waved his hand and declined.
"Mr. Mayor, you also know that for me, money is already an external possession, so I never consider the price when giving gifts. I only consider the value. For me, the value of this golden Buddha has exceeded the value of faith.
His own value, so... please must accept him. According to our Dragon Kingdom, if you don't accept him, you won't give me face." Lin Zhiming said seriously.
"This..." Maupassant was a little embarrassed. Such a big golden Buddha must be worth millions. Accepting this thing is definitely considered a bribe. He didn't want to accept it, but if he didn't accept it, it would mean that he
If Lin Zhiming, the future husband of the Bauhinia Duke, is not given face, then he will have no hope of getting the support of the Bauhinia Duke.
After thinking about it, Maupassant finally reached out his hand and took the golden Buddha.
This golden Buddha is very heavy to buy, and you can tell at a glance that it is definitely made of pure gold.
Maupassant put the golden Buddha on the table and said to Lin Zhiming, "Mr. Lin, thank you so much for giving me such an expensive gift. I don't even know what gift I should give you in return!"
"No need!" Lin Zhiming shook his head and said, "Just think of this gift as a symbol of our friendship!"
"I am very happy to become friends with Mr. Lin!" Maupassant said seriously.
Lin Zhiming smiled and said, "I'm very happy too."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Shan, who was standing next to Lin Zhiming, suddenly changed her expression and staggered a few steps.
This staggered, and the high heels on Ye Shan's feet made several heavy sounds on the ground.
Lin Zhiming and Maupassant looked at Ye Shan at the same time.
"What's wrong with you?!" Lin Zhiming asked in surprise.
At this moment, Ye Shan's face turned extremely pale in an instant, without any blood.
"What's wrong, ma'am?" Maupassant asked hurriedly when he saw Ye Shan looking like this.
"My chest is a little, a little tight." Ye Shan said with rapid breathing.
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Shan's feet went weak and she fainted on the ground.
This frightened Lin Zhiming and Maupassant. Lin Zhiming rushed to Ye Shan's side, squatted down and put his hand under Ye Shan's nose.
"What's going on?!" Maupassant asked.
"Oops, myocardial infarction!" Lin Zhiming turned to Maupassant and shouted, "Quick, call the doctor!"
"Okay, okay!" Maupassant nodded, rushed to the door, opened the door and shouted, "Let the doctor come over, hurry up!"
The staff at the door heard Maupassant calling and hurriedly called the doctor. Some other people ran towards Maupassant's office.
Maupassant turned and rushed back to Lin Zhiming and said, "Mr. Lin, I have learned some first aid knowledge. I will give her CPR!"
"No need, I can do it, I'll do it!" Lin Zhiming said, crossing his hands and pressing them in the middle of Ye Shan's chest.
Ye Shan, who was lying on the ground and seemed to have lost consciousness, twitched her brows slightly.
Afterwards, Lin Zhiming began to press Ye Shan's chest regularly.
"Mr. Lin, not only do you need to compress your chest, but you also need to perform artificial respiration!" Maupassant said excitedly.
Artificial respiration?!
Lin Zhiming and Ye Shan's hearts trembled slightly.
Lin Zhiming didn't expect that Maupassant had so much first aid knowledge and even knew about artificial respiration!
Lin Zhiming didn't have time to think too much, so he could only move towards Ye Shan's mouth.
Ye Shan's body trembled uncontrollably when Lin Zhiming's lips touched hers, and then Lin Zhiming blew into Ye Shan's mouth.
Ye Shan's face turned red uncontrollably.
"It works, it works!" Maupassant said excitedly.
Lin Zhiming quickly let go of his mouth and continued to help Ye Shan press her chest.
Maupassant stood behind, watching the color return to Ye Shan's face, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Maupassant suddenly noticed the golden Buddha on the table.
His expression changed slightly.
At this time, someone was running toward him outside the door. It would be terrible if those people saw the golden Buddha on his table. Then he might be labeled as a bribe-taker.
At this moment, Lin Zhiming picked up Ye Shan.
"After some heartbeat recovery, send him to the infirmary quickly!" Lin Zhiming said as he ran towards the door.
Maupassant quickly followed Lin Zhiming and ran to the door.
Lin Zhiming was very fast and rushed out of Maupassant's office, just in time to stop those who were about to run into Maupassant's office.
"What's wrong, Mr. Lin?!" someone asked.
"My secretary suffered a myocardial infarction. Where is your infirmary? I will send her there!" Lin Zhiming said.
"I'll take you there!" Someone immediately volunteered.
So, Lin Zhiming, led by the other party, hugged Ye Shan and ran to the infirmary.
Seeing Lin Zhiming running away, Maupassant quickly turned around and walked back to his office, locking the door of the office at the same time. After that, Maupassant ran to the table and picked up the golden Buddha on the table.
Now he had to hide the golden Buddha and find Lin Zhiming as soon as possible to avoid anyone noticing anything strange.
Therefore, Maupassant took the golden Buddha and walked to his desk immediately, intending to put the golden Buddha in the drawer.
But then I thought about it, it didn't seem very safe to put it in a drawer.
So Maupassant looked at a painting on the wall.
Maupassant walked in front of the painting and pushed it away.
Behind the painting, there is a safe.
After Maupassant entered a long series of passwords on the safe, the safe opened with a bang.
Maupassant put the golden Buddha into the safe, closed the safe, and covered the painting again. After that, Maupassant turned and ran out of his office.
