"Actually..." Frena glanced at Dulin, with a smile of remembrance and relief on her face, "We used to be couples."

"Oh wow, it's such a great news. Can you tell us in detail? I believe that the audience is very interested in these things, and it also helps people distinguish the authenticity of the rumors." Heather immediately asked what many people were wondering about, whether this was a reluctant explanation.

"Let me say it!" Dulin took over the topic and began to talk about some things about him when he was in Trère. "At that time, I was just an inconspicuous little person, and was making myself a useful person to society through my own efforts..." He shrugged, "It's a rich man. In this process, I met Frena. At that time, he was an opera actor at Trère Opera House. Because of some personal reasons, he was not liked by the operators of the opera house at that time. He had no works and was also an inconspicuous little actor."

"Excellent people always find it difficult to integrate into small groups that are closed and backward. She is isolated and cannot get better resources."

"In such a situation, we met by chance..."

When Dulin said this, Heather suddenly interrupted, "Sorry, interrupt me, you said you met, can you tell me and the audience how you met? For a more specific process, we are very interested in these!"

Dulin looked at Frena, who nodded, "Of course, I was washing the car for the gentleman who went to watch the opera at the entrance of the theater, and the kind that was washed once every few cents. Especially on nights where there were programs, there were many cars at the entrance of the theater, and my business was good. Then I met Frena there who needed help, and a man who was not so gentlemanly was pestering her..."

"And you helped her get rid of that man?"

"Yes, I did that." Dulin couldn't help laughing, "and then I threw away my power to wash my car at the door of the theater and they expelled me."

Heather shook his head and looked at Dulin and Frena with some disbelief, "I can't believe that the young man and a generation of actresses who are known as the best in the empire, and have such a past. Perhaps this is the reason why you can succeed, because you have suffered much more than others. So why are you separated later?"

Frena thought for a while, "Maybe it's too familiar. You know, you will never fall in love with a male who is in the family, because you are too familiar with each other, which will make life lack surprises and passion." She looked at Dulin with some affectionateness, "We are familiar with each other as if they were the same person. I know his preferences, and he also knows my preferences. We are more like family members, even now." She seemed very moved, "Our care for each other no longer needs to use a lover as a bridge. Even if we are not together, I believe that we are the most caring people."

"This is what I want to say!" Du Lin confirmed in time.

The following topics are more about Dulin's personal aspects. Of course, at the end, Heather did not forget to mention the two upcoming movies that Kinsale would be released, and his affirmation of Frena's work after she moved behind the scenes.

This is a very successful program, and it is not evaded or admitted. The way and attitude of presenting facts to let the audience think on their own makes some very malicious rumors disappear. There are indeed many people in society who are very short-sighted, not because they are stupid, but because they do not have enough sources of information to obtain too much information to comprehensively judge whether a thing is correct or not, which has led to many funny rumors becoming the so-called truth.

But this time, they finally got more content, stopped some rumors, and made Dulin's image fuller.

His relationship with Frena and the hardships during his entrepreneurship in Trère have almost become the reasons used by mainstream society to encourage losers to continue their journey.

Even Dulin thought that others were washing cars for a living, and was expelled. Why can't you stand up again after failure?

Because you are more successful than Dulin?

Or is it because you don’t even have the courage to fight again?

In addition, Dulin's interesting private lives have also become a topic of people. In Heather's program, everyone appreciates the wit and wit of Dulin. Moreover, Dulin's attitude towards refuting rumors is not as stiff and even unreasonable as a traditional politician, as if he wants to put a knife on someone else's neck to let them understand their position. But Dulin is different. He does not force anyone to listen to his explanation, he just makes himself clear.

The accusation of Dulin's decay of his private life was not true. In Dulin's words, he was still a young man, and before he got engaged to Ophelia, he was qualified to pursue the girl he liked and experience the passionate life. This is the power given to him by life. If a young man is full of passion for life, he is unstable, lacks upbringing and morally corrupt, then 99.99% of the people in the entire society are like Dulin.

A program, interviews from several newspapers, and the attacks on Dulin in public opinion were suddenly reversed by him. Of course, it was impossible to completely eliminate these attacks. Dulin never considered doing that. Just like what he said to Helsman before, you force others to bow your head, except to prove that you are guilty and panic, it has no value.

The solution he gave was to continue to make up stories and spread them. Only one of the 100 stories used to blackmail him was really smearing himself. The other ninety-nine were based on entertainment and could find three versions of gossip news clearly, and one percent would naturally be eliminated by the market. Since they could not shut up, let them follow their own rules!

A seemingly terrible political infighting was quietly resolved in Dulin's personal style of response, and there was no trace of deliberateness. Helsmann could not say anything except convinced.

As the weather gets colder and colder, the New Year is approaching, at this moment, Dulin suddenly receives an invitation from Thomas - an invitation from the top naval executives.

As one of the most reliable partners of the Navy, Dulin provides a large amount of military expenditure to the Navy every year. It can be said that the Navy can survive until today without the military expenditure allocation of the Ministry of Defense. Among them, Dulin has made a lot of contributions.

His business not only maintained all the expenses of the two naval bases, but also was able to take care of other places. For two consecutive years, the Navy's senior management invited Du Lin to participate in the Navy's annual meeting, but he was unable to come for various reasons. This was the third time the Navy sent a letter to invite him to the Navy's annual meeting, and it was also the last time!

It’s not that Du Lin’s rejection of the Navy’s invitation made them angry, but Du Lin is about to become a politician with a specific position. According to the laws of the empire, local officials cannot contact the top military leaders at will during their tenure, and this requirement is the same for the military. They cannot easily interact with the current officials. Of course, how to distinguish this degree is another matter, but at least it is obvious that foul acts like participating in the annual meeting of the Navy’s senior officials will not happen in the future.

So this is the last chance, and if you don’t go, you won’t have a chance.

Du Lin happily made an appointment for this, and he had long wanted to have some contact with the top naval leaders.

The Imperial Ministry of Defense actually started to contact the navy for a long time. When Dulin retreated after the financial tsunami, he was sensitively aware that several Navy bases were no different on the surface from the past. They were all passively defending, but in fact they were all actively preparing for war. This means that they may have established new communication channels with the Ministry of Defense, which also means that the issue of naval smuggling may have some impact. Dulin must have more accurately grasp some of the information here.

The Navy's annual meeting was scheduled for the first week of December, and Thomas and Dulin went to the Navy's largest base, the Shitavik Naval Base.

This is the largest base of the Imperial Navy and the last barrier in the Imperial Sea. The most distinctive part of the Shitavik Naval Base is that the largest building here is built in the shape of a warship, but it is many, many times larger than an ordinary warship!

After three posts to inspect, Dulin finally entered here and welcomed him by Lieutenant General Chris, an old soldier in his sixties.

"Mr. Du Lin, we finally meet. I am very happy that you can come to attend this year's annual meeting. We have been looking forward to it for a long time!" The old man stretched out his hand, and Du Lin took the initiative to walk up and shook with him, expressing his expectations and joy for this trip.

Dulin noticed some details. The military spirit of this Lieutenant General Chris was not that strong. He was not as military as those generals of the army, but rather had a bit of a familiar taste and a businessman.

"I want to apologize for the previous two times, but fortunately I can finally come this time!" After Lieutenant General Dulin and Lieutenant General Chris let go, they began to walk into the warship-like building, chatting while walking.

So far, the Navy's annual expenditure has been more than 100 million yuan, which is an amazing number. Especially without financial appropriations, it can still be self-sufficient in the annual military expenditure of 100 million yuan. It can only be said that the Navy's ability to make money is much better than their ability to fight wars.

Of course, what's even more amazing is Dulin. The annual expenses he provides for the Navy have exceeded eight million, which is close to ten percent of the Navy's annual demand, which is why he can stand here.
