Lisko’s American Life

This time I came to the banquet, but I didn't meet the person I wanted to see, and Mr. Governor was a little bit discouraged. Thinking of this, he bid farewell to Les.

"I have an appointment later, so I have to go first. You guys have fun, but don't delay the day after tomorrow's entry."

Patting Les on the shoulder, the governor bid farewell to Les with a gentle attitude. As an old politician, he used this method with proficiency.

Didn't you see that Les on the opposite side was already looking ready to die for him?

"correct."

The governor had just taken two steps before he stopped, and Les immediately went up to him, ready to listen to the instruction.

"Remember to say hello to the Liskot writer for me."

Les froze for a moment, he had no choice but to continue in this situation, and quickly nodded his head in response.

"Yes, I will."

Watching the governor's figure disappear at the entrance of the venue, Les wiped the sweat from his forehead. It seemed that he was still a long way from a mature politician, otherwise he would not feel the aura of the governor in front of the governor, and some legs soft.

Thinking about it, Les picked up the wine glass and drank it, trying to suppress his shock.

However, the governor mentioned Lisko's name several times, which made Les palpitate. It seems that Lisko's energy is not just what he saw. In the eyes of high-ranking politicians, Lisko is still very powerful. He regretted Lisko's attitude, thinking about a rescue plan in his heart.

"Mr Les, why are you here alone, you are the protagonist today."

A young Caucasian man in a suit and leather shoes was holding a wine glass and walking towards Les with a smile, his expression full of flattery.

The identity of this person is the owner of a local business in Denver, and he is mainly responsible for landscaping and the like. The biggest business of their company is to provide projects for the green areas planned by the government.

Therefore, dealing with the government is the biggest job of his boss every day. If he hadn't had a very good relationship with every member of the government, how could this simple and highly profitable job be transferred to him.

No, after today's election ended, he started to attend the celebration banquet of every congressman, hoping to build a relationship so that he could continue his behavior of clinging to the government and sucking blood.

Les has also heard about this person. His predecessors have told him that this person is not without roots. His father-in-law was a high-ranking official in the state before. It's just a worthless small project. In addition, he knows how to be a man. Every Christmas, he will send proposals to various government departments. Everyone is happy to continue to entrust this matter to him.

"Mr. Rubes, that's it. The governor just came, and I just had a few pleasantries with him. Now he has some things to go."

Les looked at Rubes with a neither far nor close attitude. Although this kind of person with a background is not afraid, after all, his father-in-law has retired, but the previous connections still exist. If there is a dispute, it will be a troublesome matter .

Pointing out the fact that the governor came here just now is also to show his deep background. After all, not every congressman's celebration party can have the governor in person.

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

Hearing Les' explanation, Rubes' eyes were full of regret. If he had seen the governor just now, had a drink or two with him, and then handed him a business card, then his future career would definitely be better.

However, he looked at Les with surprise in his eyes. He had heard that Les had a backer, otherwise he would not have been elected as a non-partisan. He did not expect the governor to come to congratulate him in person. It seems that It's a big fish in hiding.

Recently, Rubes has taken a fancy to the construction of a road that the city government is planning to plan. He wants to step in and earn some money to spend. Department, it's not suitable to meddle in such trivial matters, so he thought about finding a way from these new councilors.

Thinking of this, Lubes's attitude became a little more enthusiastic, and he stepped forward to support Les's arm, and pulled him forward.

"Mr. Congressman, in front are the heads of various departments in Denver, including the fire department and the chief of the police department. Let me introduce you. Everyone wants to talk to you very much."

"oh?"

Les looked at Rubes. He didn't expect the other party to have this ability. He has such a close relationship with the bosses of these powerful departments. Les knew that the chiefs of these departments came to show their closeness. If there is anything that needs help in the future, the other party will also There will definitely be no second words.

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

"Everyone, this is our Senator Les."

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

"Sir, congratulations on your election."

Les watched the other party raise his 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 police chief in Denver. That's not the way to treat yourself.

Les also raised his glass, responding to the other party.

Next, he got acquainted with the first and second leaders of the fire department, the health department, and the business department. These well-informed people knew that behind Les was the famous writer in his own state, and behind him was a Lisko writer with a lot of power.

Everyone was not stingy with their kindness, and went forward to celebrate with Les in person. If this situation was seen by other congressmen, they might be surprised from ear to ear.

Following the chatter, Les found that these people really couldn't do without Lisko's name. Everyone expressed their greetings to Lisko and asked him to help pass the word.

Les's face was not revealing, but he made a secret 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 dismissed his previous plan to repair the relationship with Lisko.

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

Wouldn't it be too embarrassing if he groveled to Lisko.

This is not to blame for the expansion of Les. A person who hastily rises from the bottom to a high position will happen. Such examples abound in our daily life.

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 on his body.

Seeing him rising from a tall building, seeing him entertaining guests, seeing his building collapse. . . . .
