At the end of February, Lynch took Penny to participate in the spring tasting in the Federation's Northern State.
The road from Bupain to Marillo was not easy. The biggest obstacle on the long journey was the mountains in the north. If they took a train to Marillo, they would have to change trains at least three or four times to reach the border between the Federation and Marillo.
This was only a problem on the road. The last part of the journey in the Federation and the first part in Marillo was very dangerous.
Crazy smugglers, stowaways, and some thugs often attacked the train.
They would make things to block the tracks and force the train to stop. After that, they would rob or even hijack the train. Therefore, the road was not only slow, but also stupid.
In order to give the distinguished customers of the Federation a supreme level of enjoyment, the company spent a lot of money to buy a very luxurious cruise ship. This cruise ship would arrive at the open port of Marillo in 15 days. However, during these 15 days, they would go south and then west, from the west coast of the Federation, and finally reach their destination.
The luxurious cruise ship had an opera house, a cinema, a casino, and a sports field.
No one needed to pay any extra for the entire journey. Everything was covered by the company.
Of course, they did not have to pay for the gambling in the casino.
Such a trip was called the "Golden Journey" in the Federation. It was also the ultimate dream of countless people!
As long as they were invited to board the cruise ship, it meant that they had a place of their own in this country where money was paramount!
In order to show their influence at every moment, they even held a boarding ceremony. They made the boarding process look like the scene of an award ceremony.
People sat in luxury cars under the cruise ship, then stepped on the red carpet and boarded the cruise ship under the flashing lights.
Every person who made it to the top would be published in a special issue that would be published every moment of the week.
Yes, they also had their own publication, which was distributed to the whole world. The publication was not free.
It was published every two months, and the main content was related to Ke Lefu. For example, some perfumers had created new fragrances, and some big shots in the Golden Solid Color Club were introduced to the taste preferences of some big shots.
The power of capital was limitless. Just like that, magazines that were meaningless in the eyes of ordinary people at the bottom of society were selling like hotcakes among the middle class.
There was even a very interesting saying —
Even the big shots in Golden Pure Color didn't know as much as the middle class!
Therefore, nicotine was no longer a necessity to satisfy people's need for nicotine. It was more like a culture of capital.
Being able to be published in the supplement was the dream of many young people.
The real big shots might not come in person. They would let their juniors come here, and the young people would be willing to come.
"Remember to walk faster later …"
Lynch and Penny were about to board the ship. Looking at the well-dressed Penny, Lynch suddenly felt that she would definitely slow them down.
The girl did not resist forcefully. She only looked at Lynch with her pure face and clear eyes. "My butt hurts."
Tsk …
Lynch laughed a few times. The girl ignored his laughter and just looked at him seriously. After a while, Lynch sighed. "Okay, but don't walk too slowly."
"Actually, you have to understand that the length of time you stay there doesn't help you enter a certain class. On the contrary, the person next to you is the most important one."
"Whether we finish it quickly or not, as long as you stand next to me, you will definitely be in the headlines tomorrow!"
Strong confidence hit her in the face like a gust of wind. However, in the narrow interior of the car with the windows closed, where could a gust of wind come from?
The girl was lost for a moment. She actually understood this principle, but when Lynch said it, she really realized what was important.
"Oh …" This was her answer. She didn't say yes, no, and didn't say anything further.
Seven or eight minutes later, the car slowly moved forward and steadily stopped after a distance.
The car door was opened, and Lynch's personal manager greeted him outside the door. In the endless flash, Lynch signed his name on the sign-in book, then held Penny's hand and walked toward the cruise ship.
Their pace wasn't slow, but it wasn't fast either. It was a normal pace.
"Do you want to slow down a little?"
Lynch asked as they walked.
The girl didn't say anything, but she didn't slow down either.
The reporters followed them crazily. Compared to the old rich people who had "settled down", people were more interested in the private life of Lynch, the new millionaire.
The youngest Mr. Billionaire in history and the pure goddess of the new generation of the Federation. This was definitely a combination that most people liked to see.
People always speculated about all the things they liked or didn't like and then moved themselves.
They boarded the cruise ship, and under the guidance of the waiter, the two of them went to the upper deck.
This cruise ship wouldn't just sit there and do nothing. Apart from the annual spring fair, it would be rented to some tourism companies for various cruise projects.
It cost a lot to maintain a cruise ship, but it was only used once a year. It was better to rent it to someone else.
The cruise ship was divided into two levels. The upper level was full of individual rooms. Each room was large enough, more than 300 square meters. There were individual bedrooms, guest rooms, study rooms, living rooms, side halls, and many washrooms.
This was specially prepared for VIPs. The lower level was a small room of 15 square meters, where ordinary people stayed.
They might spend a thousand yuan to squeeze into a small room, telling themselves in the dark that they were enjoying the same treatment as the guests on the upper level …
This trip wouldn't be open to the public on the lower level. Everyone was VIPs, so they were all on the upper level.
Not long after, the two of them arrived at their room. The waiter handed them two sets of keys.
Not only were there the keys to the room, but there was also the key to the safe inside. Of course, the safe had a password.
"No matter what the two of you request, just mention any phone number you see. Our operator will arrange it for you as soon as possible!"
"Finally, I wish the two of you a pleasant trip!"
After entering the room, the girl walked silently to the bedroom and lay on the bed. Her eyes were still a little red.
Before they arrived, the staff had already brought their luggage over and hung it up.
She tilted her head and looked at Lynch, who was changing his clothes, and said pitifully, "My butt hurts!"
Lynch took off his tie, rolled it up, and put it into the tie box. He picked out two bow ties, turned to look at the girl, and gestured the bow ties to his chest. "Which one do you think looks better?"
Most of the time, Lynch was flawless. He knew too much, but there were also things he couldn't do, such as picking out small accessories like bow ties.
Two colors that looked similar to him were completely different in the eyes of others, so he needed an assistant.
He didn't need to know these things himself. He didn't know about fashion design and color matching. He just needed someone to know.
The young and fashionable girl was obviously one of them.
"You're holding it in your right hand. It looks like you're more mature …" Penny answered subconsciously. She soon realized and slapped the bed sheet. "My butt hurts!"
Lynch changed into his evening gown in front of the mirror. The clothes he wore outside were different from the clothes he wore on the ship and at the party.
You could be less sensitive about color matching, but you couldn't be wrong about what you wore.
"Then you don't have to go. We'll have a party tonight. There will be a lot of people, and our own reporters will be there at all times!"
At the mention of this, the girl's butt suddenly stopped hurting. She rolled and crawled to the wardrobe and began to pick out clothes for herself.
It was a little overboard to describe her actions, but it was very appropriate.
The publication was not only for the Federation, but also for the whole world. This was a good opportunity to show her face in the world's upper class. She couldn't let go of this opportunity.
With a whoosh, the girl's dress fell to the ground. This dress that many people could only rent for six thousand dollars fell on the carpet.
She began to pick out clothes for the party in her underwear. Lynch leaned back and glanced down at the girl's butt. There were still some marks.
The corner of his mouth lifted slightly, and he began to dress himself up.
Naughty girls had to be punished. He heard that there were nuns in the noble Guevara family who specialized in this.
They would make the children who made mistakes take off their pants and whip their buttocks in front of everyone with soft whips made of multiple layers of cowhide that were glued together.
Every whip would leave a swollen mark. Not only was it painful, but it was also humiliating.
However, the process of the girl's injury was not humiliating. The only audience was chosen by herself. It was all her fault!
Lin Qi straightened the bow tie with a clear conscience. He also tidied up the sapphire collar and cuffs with a platinum base. It looked great!
At the same time, in a smelly room, a fierce-looking guy was watching TV.
On the TV, pairs of rich people were boarding the ship. Every time the TV host introduced a pair of guests, the guy in front of the TV became more ferocious.
It was not that there were no enemies in Marillo at all times. Countless people were jealous of their property in the Federation.
It was just that they were too powerful at all times. They used the money they earned in the Federation to stabilize their rule in Marillo.
Ordinary small groups were not their opponents. They were not on the same level at all.
Those who could go back and forth with them were not willing to rashly start a war.
This also led to the most interesting situation in Marillo.
The few big forces rarely started wars for expansion. On the contrary, the small warlords were constantly fighting each other.
However, there were always accidents. Some people were afraid of every moment, but some were not.
They did not intend to have a direct confrontation with the warlords behind every moment. They only wanted to hijack the cruise ship and make a lot of money!
