America: Starting with Daily Intelligence

"He has such a huge background?"

Taking a sharp breath in surprise, everyone was astonished by the background of the General Sect Leader, yet relieved, "Luckily, he's not involved in the business world."

"Who are you?" the person next to him asked, puzzled.

"I am an assistant to the councilor of Zone 5." The man smiled slightly.

"Hello, hello. So you're the assistant." The man quickly started flattering, showing a smile.

The councilor's assistant smiled faintly, maintaining gentlemanly manners without rejecting the kindness of others.

He attended the Whale Auction at the councilor's hint, coming to support since the auction's chairman has a good relationship with Johnson, being very close. Each time the Whale Auction is held, he basically comes to sit in the VIP seats to add to the liveliness, representing the councilor's recognition and attention.

He constantly watched the direction of the General Sect Leader, also preparing to get acquainted.

Allen Zhang chatted and laughed with socialites and internet celebrities, receiving their business cards and phone numbers. Noticing that Pike's position was a bit awkward, he found an excuse to leave, and the socialites tactfully did the same.

He had barely walked a few steps when he saw a man rushing over quickly and greeted enthusiastically, "Hello Mr. Jin, Mr. Jackson sent me to say hello on his behalf."

Allen Zhang, having never seen this man before, asked puzzledly, "Who are you?"

"I am the councilor's administrative assistant. You can call me Kamo," said the other party with a smiling face.

"Hello." Allen Zhang, not one to snub a smiling face, also warmly shook his hand, "Did the councilor not come?"

"The councilor is still dealing with government affairs, so it's inconvenient for him to come. I usually attend these gatherings on his behalf," Kamo said modestly.

Many people noticed this scene, also understanding that the other party not only had money but also had significant power and connections, not to be trifled with.

Although many people also had money, having money alone was not enough without connections, not even being in the same circle, and unable to even step through the door. What was there to play at then?

"Great, I actually have a gift to give to the councilor. Could you take it back to him? It's not something rare, but it should be something he really needs." Allen Zhang smiled and took out an apartment card key from his pocket and handed it to him.

Pike watched this scene in astonishment and noticed that the card was exactly the one he had previously given to the General Sect Leader. Was it to be given to the councilor?

Kamo calmly accepted it, pressing it into his palm and pocketing it, smiling and saying, "Mr. Jin is really thoughtful. If there's anything you need in the future, just instruct me. I can act on your behalf. Here is my business card," presenting the business card very respectfully.

Allen Zhang casually took it, glanced at it, then smiled and said, "Since you work for the councilor, you must be quite familiar with Cooper, right?"

"Our duties are different, I am an assistant working directly with the councilor, while Cooper is in charge of managing the shelters' business, but I am also good friends with him privately," explained Kamo.

"Ok." Allen Zhang was not interested in delving deeper, only needing to know they represented the councilor in expressing political opinions and handling documents, a small trumpet assistant and a white glove.

However, the councilor having the assistant meet him also represented the possibility of in-depth cooperation.

In the future, any minor troubles would not necessarily require the councilor himself to decide; Kamo could handle them. Even if something went wrong, it would be Kamo's individual faulty decision, not involving the councilor.

In social circles, one must always be cautious when doing anything to prevent others from catching any leverage and always needing someone to take the blame. If you do not take the blame for the councilor, should the councilor take it himself? What then would he be keeping you for?

Work hard! After grinding at the grassroots level, once the councilor retires in a few years, use his connections to recommend you to compete for the new councilor position! The likelihood of success is high!

Even the current president climbed up step by step from being the vice-president.

Kamo was also a long-time classmate of the councilor's, having a very strong relationship. After all, the councilor started from scratch, transitioning from being a lawyer to competing for a councilor position, placing only trustworthy grassroots around him.

Going forward, Kamo was likely to become a councilor substitute, nominated for the next election.

Otherwise, if someone else, even a political opponent, took over, how would he handle being purged by the new administration after their ascent?

Allen Zhang chatted with Kamo for a few more moments, glanced at the time, and noticed that many were beginning to take their seats, also saying, "The auction is about to start, Mr. Kamo, I'll take my leave now. Pike, where are our reserved seats?" turning back to ask Pike.

The other party stood next to him like a lackey, completely lacking presence.

"At the front, I have already arranged it, Mr. Jin, please follow me," invited Pike, hurrying him to take his seat.

Kamo watched them leave, holding the heavy apartment card in his pocket, also sighing in admiration. He turned and ran back to the circle of retail tycoons nearby, enjoying the attention and admiration from many.

Allen Zhang and Pike sat in the front-row VIP seats, and the auctioneer, also a blonde, blue-eyed, long-legged beauty, politely greeted the guests, introduced the auction procedure and rules, and invited Kamo to give a speech on behalf of the councilor.

After spending a few minutes warming up, the formal auction began.
