“Chan, being a Senator is no puppet show.

The position in the California Senate is no less powerful than that of a Congressman, it might even be greater.”

These Senators, each with their own political views, they are not actors!

Chunchun talking nonsense with eyes wide open, Cheng Daqi was speechless.

“Is it appropriate for you, as a member of the California Clique, to say such things, Will?”

The comment was too cutting; the California Clique is a well-known parliamentary political force within the Democratic Party, and their core figures can win in their districts forever.

By asking this, Cheng Daqi pointed to the most unspoken part of American political and business relations.

Stop acting, we’re all carnivores here.

You’re wolves, and I’m a tiger or a leopard, OK?

“You can’t be too obvious, everyone has their own dignity, especially politicians as public figures.

We should respect each other, Chan.”

Will: I’ve been honest, don’t interrogate me.

Cheng Daqi smiled but said no more—it was enough.

In the conference room, a Senator with a head full of white hair coughed twice and began to speak.

“Alright then, the application for New Era’s transition to a nonprofit, um, Domis, you’re in charge, right?”

“That’s the Councilman.” Geweil whispered to Cheng Daqi.

“Yes, Mr.

Councilman, I was also in charge of overseeing the last approval.”

Domis glanced at Lisa and, while pushing up his glasses, spoke with righteous indignation.

“Begin, please.”

The blonde sitting opposite the Senators looked back at the spectator seats and saw Cheng Daqi chatting with Geweil.

One was her own boss, and the other the Governor’s shadow; their presence made her feel much calmer.

In fact, Lisa didn’t know that most of the Senators questioning were also distracted; today, they were not the protagonists, just there to make up the numbers.

Domis pretentiously reviewed the document in his hand and asked:

“Ms.

Lisa, may I ask…”

“Point of order, I am a biological woman, but today I am here as the General Manager of New Era; I would prefer not to be addressed from a gender perspective, Senator Domis!”

Silence, silence is today’s California Senate.

No one dared to daydream anymore; even those Senators who partied until eight in the morning had snapped awake.

Verifying the facts—this does not bode well!

“Chan, is this her strategy?”

Geweil was somewhat impressed.

Lisa indeed had some interesting ideas.

“No, it’s my strategy.

Although we’re Republicans, Will, you understand that, living in California requires some political savvy.”

There are no sides to take; at Cheng Daqi’s level, it’s about hedging bets.

The alignment with Niusen is part of this play, as is revealing a certain stance through Lisa, which is also related to New Era’s response to the inquiry.

“It’s crazy, your ideas are very unusual…

I have a question,” Will hesitated.

“What is it?”

“Wolf is to marry into either a political family or clan of the Republican Party, why would you think to have us help?

Didn’t you consider, doing so might give us leverage over you?”

“Niusen should not have put you in charge of this, Will.

The American pie is only so big, and too many people want a piece of it.

Banding together is the best strategy.

As to why we turned to the California Clique…

ha, your brother should know, ask him.”

Will gave a sheepish smile, not daring to keep questioning.

Of course, he knew his brother understood, but since he pretended to be in the know and took on the task, asking now would only get him scolded.

Alas, to be a less talented individual living amongst the clever, Will’s heart was weary.

“…OC is even less suitable.

It’s a highly commercial perfume company.

I’d like to know, Lisa, how OC will operate within New Era—handing out perfume on the streets?”

They avoided discussing gender issues further, and during the formal inquiry phase, a series of sharp questions were asked by the Senators.

A nonprofit organization, by definition, cannot operate commercially.

A charitable foundation operates with a fixed annual donation for charity, while a nonprofit goes further, requiring a significant public nature in its operations.

That is, selflessly creating value for society.

“Yes, handing out perfume on the streets; that’s what we’ve always done.

Do you have a problem with that?”

The blonde’s response gave the Senators a bit of a shock.

Wait, are you serious?

Going head-to-head with us like this?

Wasn’t it just supposed to be a bit of back-and-forth, and that would be enough?

Unfortunately, Lisa did not agree, and neither did Cheng Daqi!

“Please refer to pages seventy-three to one hundred thirty-five of the materials, which show related imagery.

Especially on pages ninety-one to ninety-six, showing the efforts OC has made in the ‘Perfume Equality’ campaign over the years.

With a total investment of over one hundred million dollars, the number of activities held has surpassed two hundred times.

We’ve been dedicatedly fulfilling our corporate mission, gentlemen!”

Hearing Lisa mention perfume equality, Cheng Daqi lightly sighed from the spectator seats.
