While Sevillera confirmed that she could accompany Lynch to the event, she also arranged for someone to investigate Lynch's identity and whether he had received an invitation to participate in the presidential event.
This kind of investigation might be as simple as a phone call for someone who had reached a certain level of power.
Soon, the person whom Sevillera consulted gave her a satisfactory answer. Mr. Lynch of Sebin City had indeed received an invitation to the celebration organized by the president, and he was invited to join the celebration with his female companion.
Sevillera also learned a little about Lynch's current business and why he was invited by the president.
After learning about Lynch's current business situation, she lost interest. The reason was simple: it was too inconspicuous to interest Sevillera.
For a girl like her, the people at home basically talked about the big business. She didn't even want to know more about a small company like Lynch's that had a net market value of less than ten million.
As for starting from scratch, no one cared about this kind of thing. The beggars on the roadside also started from scratch. Those roadside car washers who carried a broken bucket and a piece of rag also started from scratch. However, people never paid attention to them.
Because people first cared about how much money he had, and then they would be interested in what he did and how he did it. People were willing to learn from the experience of "success," not those of failure.
But all in all, this was a good opportunity.
On the day of confirming this matter, Lynch bought a ticket to Bupenn. He would probably arrive at Bupenn tomorrow morning or noon.
To be honest, transportation in the Federation was really inconvenient now. This also made Lynch wonder if he should invest some money in the companies that were developing airplanes. This way, he could be one of the first people to enjoy air travel.
After arranging the other work, Lynch went to Bupenn alone and arrived in the afternoon of the next day. This was about three hours later than the planned time of arrival.
The specific reason was that the conductor of the train suddenly felt a little sleepy last night. He stopped at a small station for more than four hours to rest. Fortunately, this temporary stop didn't give any chance to any potential robbers. While Lynch was sweating profusely, the train finally started moving again.
Although this world had begun to enter the era of civilization, there were still many things that only existed in the past. Barbarism had not completely faded away.
After arriving at Bupenn, Lynch took the car that had come to pick him up and went to the Bupenn Hotel, which was the designated place for the guests to stay.
At the Bupenn Hotel, Lynch saw Sevillera with a suitcase. She was a very beautiful girl. Most children born in upper-class families were not ugly. Even if they were not outstanding, they were just relatively ordinary.
Their power and wealth allowed them to select the best genes to breed the next generation. Sevillera was such a girl who combined the best genes of both her parents.
She looked about five feet eight inches (about 170 centimeters) tall, with golden brown hair and a pair of dark blue eyes. Her face was delicate and her skin was very white.
She wore a ferret fur hat and a white fur coat. She was so clean that she looked like an elf in the snow!
She was quite a perfect girl, or at least an impressive girl.
When she saw Lynch, she waved at Lynch with a surprised expression on her face. "You are more handsome than those photos in the newspaper!"
Lin Qi reached out and shook her hand. The girl's hand was slender, soft, and well-maintained. What surprised Lin Qi was that the girl didn't have any long nails, nor did she apply the nail polish that had become popular recently.
"You are very beautiful too, Miss Sevillera."
"Call me Rilla. We talked about this on the phone!"
Perhaps it was because Lynch was very handsome, Sevillera corrected a question that she had never considered before.
Lin Qi smiled and called out "Rilla". Then, he glanced at the suitcase in the girl's hand. The girl was sharp enough to catch Lin Qi's gaze.
She half-turned her body and made a gesture to lead Lynch into the hotel. As she walked, she explained, "The cars arranged for the president's celebration will come here directly to pick us up. Someone will be in charge of everything. They will invite us out of the room, then get in the car and go to the event venue."
"During this process, we can't leave from other places, and we can't join the cars halfway. The purpose of this is to protect the president, so we need to stay in the same room for the next two days."
The girl seemed to not care too much. "Of course, if you think I will sleep in the same bed as you, then you are very wrong."
This was not a very funny joke, but Lynch was not angry. He did not care much about these things.
The two walked into the elevator, and the girl reached out her hand. "Can I have a look at the invitation?"
"Of course!"
Lynch handed the invitation over. After the girl flipped through it, she pressed a floor button and returned the invitation to Lynch. She then explained, "Actually, from now on, we have already entered the pre-event."
"There's a floor above where we'll be staying and a designated dining area. At night, we'll meet some guests who were also invited by the president to participate in the celebration. If you're interested, you can chat with them. This is also to warm up the atmosphere during the celebration."
For an event held by the president, the invited guests came from all over the country, and even some foreign forces. Most people may have only heard of each other's names, but they did not know each other well.
If they were not given a chance to meet before the event, it might make the event a bit awkward. People did not want to be rude in front of the public, the media, and the president, so they would be more careful when choosing the topics and the people to talk to.
This would make the scene very quiet, and people would only stand in their own positions, making the event lack vitality.
Therefore, an early warm-up event like a meet-and-greet was needed. When the time came, people who had a short contact with each other would quickly form a circle, making everything orderly and lively.
The two of them were led to their room by a waiter who was obviously an FBI agent disguised as a waiter. As for why they were able to see through the waiter's identity at a glance, it was probably due to the specialty of the Federation, as well as the unconcealable aura of the agents.
Many times, when they needed to arrange undercover work, they had to find people who met their requirements, such as people who had just entered the organization or were still students, to be undercover. These people did not have the arrogance in their bones, so it was not easy to see through them.
For example, Wood, who had been lurking around Lynch and had begun to study seriously.
After entering the room, the girl divided the rooms for the two. It was a suite with enough bedrooms, a living room, and a study. After doing this, the girl asked Lynch to show her the clothes he had brought.
When she saw that Lynch had only brought two sets of clothes, she could not help but complain a little. "You should have brought at least four or five sets of clothes and accessories. You can't wear the clothes you wore today before the event ends..."
The girl looked at Lin Qi seriously and suddenly asked, "Don't tell me you think I'm …" She made a chattering gesture, "… noisy?"
Lynch shook his head. "This is why I invited you. I have never participated in an event like this. I have to find someone who knows the business to help me."
The girl let out a sigh of relief. "Then we will make two new sets of clothes for you. The dark color of your two sets is very good. We will keep it for the day of the event, but you still lack two sets of clothes for when you interact with others in the hotel."
"Fortunately, these are not a problem. I will ask the tailor to come as soon as possible and find a designer to design a new look for you!"
There was a smile on her face. "You look so old-fashioned now!"
In the following time, Lynch was like a rag doll in the girl's hand. Under her manipulation, he quickly changed and became dazzling.
The designer Sevillera found was the best in Boone and even in the entire Federation. He easily found Lynch's characteristics.
In the words of the teacher named Tony, youth and handsomeness were Lynch's greatest strengths. This was also what he wanted to show.
Low-key and steady were not suitable for the event they were about to attend. People would not remember him because of his low-key and steady manner. They would only forget him.
However, people would remember him because of his sharpness. There was a very special young man at the event held by the president. He was showing off his abilities and was admirable.
During dinner in the evening, Lynch had completed his transformation. After dinner in the hall, they exchanged business cards with many people, some of whom often appeared on TV.
With the help of the girl, Lynch easily opened the door among these people. Especially when people found out that the girl's father was Mr. Vaudric, their attitude towards Lynch and the girl became more enthusiastic.
This kind of social interaction lasted until 9: 30 in the evening, when people returned to their rooms. This situation would continue for another day.
The situation on the second day was more or less the same as that night. People had breakfast in their rooms, lunch and dinner in the restaurant.
They ate there, and after dinner, they would go to a nearby bar or lounge to chat. This reminded Lynch of a philosopher's evaluation of the upper class. They never did anything practical. Their only job was to stand there and brag for each other, saying worthless nonsense to show their noble characteristics. What was more ridiculous was that this group of people who did not work always asked the workers to work according to their methods!
