Lisco's American Life

When he came to the banquet this time, he didn't meet the person he wanted to see. The governor was also a little uninterested. Thinking of this, he said goodbye to Les.

"I have a date later, so I have to leave first. You guys have a good time, but don't delay your employment the day after tomorrow."

Patting Les on the shoulder, the governor said goodbye to Les in a gentle manner. As an old politician, he used this method with great proficiency.

Didn't you see that Les on the opposite side had an expression that was always ready to die for him?

"Right."

The governor had just taken two steps before he stopped. Les immediately stepped forward to greet him, ready to listen to his teachings.

"Remember to say hello to Writer Lisko for me."

Les was stunned for a moment. In this situation, he had no choice but to take the next step and quickly nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I will."

Watching the governor's figure disappear at the door of the venue, Les wiped the sweat from his forehead. It seemed that he was still some distance away from being a mature politician, otherwise he would not have felt the governor's momentum in front of him, and some legs

soft.

Les thought, picked up the glass and drank it to calm himself down.

However, the governor mentioned Lisko's name several times, which made Les a little nervous. It seemed that Lisko's energy was not just what he saw. In the eyes of upper-class politicians, Lisko was still very energetic. He couldn't help but feel sorry for himself before.

I felt a little regretful about Lisko's attitude, and I was thinking about a rescue plan.

"Congressman Les, why are you here alone? You are the protagonist today."

A young white man in a suit and tie walked towards Les with a wine glass in his hand and a smile on his face, his expression full of flattery.

This person is the owner of a local company in Denver, mainly responsible for landscaping and the like. Their company's biggest business is to provide projects for government-planned green areas.

Therefore, dealing well with the government is his biggest job every day as a boss. If he didn't have a very good relationship with every member of the government, how could this simple and highly profitable job be handed over to him.

No, after the election today, he started attending the celebration banquets of every congressman, hoping to build relationships so that he could continue his behavior of clinging to the government.

Les had also heard about this person. His predecessors had told him that this person was not without foundation. His father-in-law was a high-ranking official in the previous state. He had this passion and the greening itself.

Even though it is a small and worthless project, and because he is a good person, he will send proposals to various government departments every Christmas, and everyone is happy to continue to leave this matter to him.

"Mr. Lubbers, it's like this. The governor came here just now. I just exchanged greetings with him. Now he has something to do and needs to leave."

Les looked at Rubes, his attitude was neither far nor close. Although he was not afraid of such a person with a backing, after all, his father-in-law had retired, but his previous connections still existed. If there was a dispute, it would be a troublesome matter.

.

He pointed out what happened when the governor came just now to show off his profound background. After all, not every congressman’s celebration party can be attended by the governor in person.

"That's right. It's a pity that I couldn't toast Mr. Governor with a glass of wine."

Hearing Les's explanation, Rubes' eyes were full of regret. If he had just seen the governor, had two drinks together and handed him a business card, his career would have been better in the future.

However, he looked at Les with surprise in his eyes. He had heard that Les had a backer, otherwise he would not have been successfully elected as a non-party person. Unexpectedly, the governor came to celebrate in person. It seemed that

It's a big fish hiding.

Recently, Rubes has taken a fancy to the construction of a road that the city government is planning. He wants to get involved and earn some money to spend, but because some of the council members he has made friends with have expired, some have been promoted to higher positions.

The department was no longer suitable to interfere in such trivial matters, so he thought of finding a solution from these new congressmen.

Thinking of this, Rubes's attitude became a little more enthusiastic. He stepped forward to hold Les's arm and pulled him forward.

"Mr. Congressman, in front of you are the heads of various departments in Denver, including the fire department and the chief of the police department. Let me introduce you to them. We all really want to talk to you."

"oh?"

Les looked at Rubes. He didn't expect that the other party had the ability to have such a close relationship with the bosses of these powerful departments. Les knew that the chiefs of these departments were here to show their closeness. If he needed help with anything in the future, the other party would also

There will definitely be nothing to say.

He didn't mind this kind of contact, so he followed Rubes's strength and walked towards a group of people in suits in the middle of the venue.

"Everyone, this is our Mr. Les Congressman."

Rubes brought Les into the crowd and introduced him to a group of people.

"Sir, congratulations on your election."

Les watched the other person raise the glass to him, and then drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp. He knew this person. His livestock association had to deal with the police before, so he was really familiar with the Denver Police Chief. It was just that he had been there before.

This is not the attitude towards yourself.

Les also raised his glass and responded to the other party.

Next, he got to know the top and second-in-commands of the fire department, health department, and industrial and commercial department. These well-informed people all knew that behind Les was the famous writer in his state, the writer Lisko who had a lot of power behind him.

Everyone was generous with their kindness and personally came forward to celebrate with Les. If other congressmen saw this, they might be surprised and open their mouths from ear to ear.

As they chatted for a few words, Les found that these people really couldn't talk without Lisko's name. Everyone expressed their greetings to Lisko and asked him to help convey it.

Les's face showed no expression, but he secretly made a decision in his heart. He must get rid of Lisko's influence on him, otherwise wouldn't he become the opponent's puppet?

Thinking of this, Les also gave up his previous idea of ​​repairing the relationship with Lisko.

In his opinion, he is now a congressman and has entered the middle-level of American politics. Moreover, he is still very young and has plenty of time to develop in this political circle. He is like a rising star.

Wouldn't it be too shameful for me to grovel to Lisko?

This is not to blame for Leeds inflation. This will happen if a person rashly rises from the bottom to a high position. Such examples abound in our daily lives.

Lisko was not affected at all. He took a sip of orange juice, covered his forehead with a cowboy hat to block the sun, and lazily enjoyed the warmth of the sun shining on his body.

Watching his building rise, watching him entertaining guests, watching his building collapse...
