Chapter 106:

"The people from the state office just called me. They hope to get more detailed information as soon as possible..."

President Elena's expression became more serious. From yesterday until now, not more than twenty-four hours had passed, yet the state office not only knew about it but seemed very concerned about the matter.

There was no doubt that they weren't looking to encourage the Sabin City Women's Rights Protection Association for their outstanding contributions but rather to steal the credit that rightfully belonged to them.

Job opportunities were indeed crucial; financial independence and freedom were the guarantee of women's rights and freedom. This had been verified.

If a woman couldn't achieve financial independence, it would be difficult for her to break free from the significant role men played in her life. She would still be dependent on men unless she could prove that she could live well without them, which, in terms of material needs, meant achieving financial independence.

They talked about these things all day, advocating for society to provide more job opportunities for women, but this couldn't be achieved all at once.

Many of the major jobs were ones that women couldn't engage in, such as heavy physical labor, limiting the jobs available to them.

Moreover, with the current economic downturn and high unemployment rates, women faced even more challenges in the workplace.

At this moment, the appearance of hundreds, even thousands, or more job positions specifically tailored for women was undoubtedly big news. It could even shake the structure of the state's Women's Rights Protection Association. It was no wonder the state office was so nervous and eager to learn more about the situation.

"I didn't tell them..." Elena, standing by the window, looked through the bright window at the girls of various ages gathered downstairs, a hint of a smile appearing on her face. "This is our victory."

With the support of these people and the thousands or more job opportunities mentioned by Lin Qi, coupled with the sudden enthusiasm from the state office, Elena only now realized that she might have a chance to move up the ladder.

Although the Women's Rights Protection Association was not an official organization in a strict sense, and it was just a non-official, non-profit, grassroots organization, it still possessed considerable power and influence.

Even some socialites, celebrities, and wives of politicians were members of this association, indicating its political influence.

Though not an official organization, it was hardly distinguishable from one.

From being the president of a second-tier city's association to taking on a significant role in the state office, with the potential to ascend to the headquarters of the association in the future, thus embarking on a new journey.

This was a crucial opportunity, one she would definitely not let slip away!

Glancing at the watch on her wrist, Elena saw it was almost ten o'clock. After speaking with the state office over the phone, she immediately called Lin Qi, hoping to meet and talk with him.

On one hand, she wanted to dispel any misunderstandings that might exist between them, and on the other hand, she wanted to bring Lin Qi into her camp, or at least made him not to be easily swayed by a few words from those despicable individuals in the state office.

Everyone needed supporters, and she did too.

"As for us..."

As she was rallying these people, there was a knock on the office door. A young girl, blushing, stood outside. "Mr. Lin Qi has arrived..."

Elena was slightly taken aback. She was about to ask how Lin Qi had arrived since she hadn't seen his car, but she quickly dismissed the question. Meeting Lin Qi was more important than pondering how he got here.

"Let... no, please let him in." Elena straightened her attire and walked to her desk. Other people in the office also stood up.

About twenty seconds later, Lin Qi walked in from the door. It must be said that the appearance of a handsome young man instantly made the women in the room have a good impression of him.

Especially President Elena. Besides her usual expressions, there was a hint of surprise, the kind of surprise an elder would have toward children.

Lin Qi's appearance was deceptive. What was more frightening was that he was not one of those ordinary kids trying to prove his abilities were far beyond his appearance.

There were always some children like that. Their minds didn't seem to be very bright, always trying to prove that their excellence had nothing to do with their appearance, but they ignored that appearance was also part of their excellence.

Lin Qi never had such thoughts. Decades of social experience made him very clear that anything that could help him was a good thing.

Whether it was good looks or sweet words, as long as he could gain enough benefits, he didn't mind being labeled with these tags.

In order to communicate with the ladies in the room today, Lin Qi deliberately changed his appearance to make himself look younger.

"This is Ms. Elena, the president of the local Women's Rights Protection Association..." Introduced by Conor (??), Lin Qi greeted everyone and stood in front of the desk.

He always wore a smile on his face, warmly extending his hand to shake hands with Ms. Elena. His smile was so clean, so pure, as if he were not one of those capitalists people imagined.

At least capitalists would rarely have such a clean smile; theirs were ugly and dirty.

"Nice to meet you..." Lin Qi added, "Seeing you reminds me of some elders..." He paused for a moment, a nostalgic look appearing on his face, but he quickly wiped it away. "Sorry, Ms. Elena, I got slightly distracted."

Lin Qi's distraction didn't cause any dissatisfaction in President Elena. She smiled amiably. "To have elders in your heart all the time shows that you're a good kid..." She looked at Lin Qi with smiles on her face. "Sorry, my child is probably your age. I shouldn't call you that..."

She meant she shouldn't address Lin Qi as "kid" since he was an important resource and a businessman, not just a child.

Lin Qi seemed to feel no offense whatsoever. He didn't let go of President Elena's hand and said, "It's okay. I can do many things well enough, but I can never catch up with elders in age. Calling me kid is the right given to you by time and years, Ms. Elena."

"A true young gentleman..." President Elena was even happier. She let go of his hand and invited Lin Qi to sit down. "Today, I asked you to come here mainly to resolve some small misunderstandings and disagreements between us yesterday."

Lin Qi raised his hand slightly to interrupt President Elena's words. If an adult man did this, and if he were a bit uglier, she might think it was a lack of respect for women by men.

But when a young, handsome "little gentleman" like him did it, President Elena didn't feel the slightest discomfort. Instead, she smiled at him, curious about what he was going to say.

Lin Qi first apologized for his rudeness and received forgiveness from President Elena. Then he smiled and said, "Since these are misunderstandings, let's put an end to them. Don't let them continue to occupy our minds and dominate our emotions. Let's talk about the real issue."Please vote for this novel at /series/blackstone-code/There are advance chapters available nowAccess will be granted 24 hours after the donationTier 1: 7 Advance chapters Link
