"I took it easy, but it doesn't seem difficult for a senator's assistant to find the residence of a famous person, right?"

"I'm glad to see you..." The other party's truth told, which made Edward relax.

"Call me Mickey, my friends call me that..." The person who came was an acquaintance, the assistant to Senator Marlow Cook of Kentucky Congress, the young Mr. McConnell.

"Please come in, Mickey, what do you want to drink?"

"Thank you, just coffee..."

Edward served coffee.

Mickey took a sip and said, "Hmm? The taste is good, but it seems that the origin is a bit strange."

"You are an expert," Edward smiled and said, "I gave it to you by my friend, from the distant Indochina Peninsula..."

"No wonder"

"He used to think that my coffee is only suitable for painting the wall..." Edward spread his hands, "So..."

"Fortunately I came late, of course I hope it's not too late," Mickey said seriously.

"I think it's too late..." Edward leaned against the sofa, crossing his legs, relaxing, but his tone was cold.

"You know why I came?"

"Of course, isn't it her?" Edward straightened up and stared at the other person, saying word by word.

"How did you know?" Mickey was obviously a little surprised, but she was not confused.

"If I could not guess at this time last year, but now it's different. I want to say, dear Mickey, you are already married, you are deliberately hiding this matter from her." Edward stood up from the sofa and looked at his ring finger, and he didn't even bring a ring. Listen to me, Mickey, you are an unknown person now, but you will eventually become a big shot. It's not good to play such a cleverness... it's really not good."

"Big man? That's my always dream." The other party was still frank and cute.

"Yes, so you have to marry a rich woman? Your current fiancée cannot satisfy your ambitions?"

This time it was the other party's turn to fall into a state of alertness, "Have you investigated me?"

"Of course" Edward sat back on the sofa, proud of his little plan: "There are many enthusiastic senator assistants, but it is rare for you to be as enthusiastic as you. When Beth and Elma come to ask for help for the first time, you can take a photo with Senator Marlow Cook."

"Is there anything wrong with this?"

"I don't think there is anything wrong, but my experience tells me that when you encounter this situation, as a young assistant, you will be a US champion who comes to your door, and may be a future world champion..." Edward frowned, obviously this is organizing vocabulary.

Mickey didn't say anything, looked at him calmly, and looked at him with a look of scrupulousness.

This made Edward feel very much about him... It was an emotion that was difficult to describe in words. It could be classified as awesomeness and creepy. This guy has a calmness that is not commensurate with his age, which is more in line with his old lady-like appearance.

No wonder there is a saying in the ancient Chinese saying that "boys and girls are very noble."

But it may also be because of this natural puffing mouth. If Miqi was born in China, she would probably become an excellent male old actress. Just like Gong Yunfu, she turned from an old man to an old man, and finally created a record of using an old man to sing the big scroll. The reason is his unique "old lady mouth".

Edward had seen photos of this senior in Liyuan in his previous life, and then looked at Mickey in front of him, and suddenly felt a sense of "It's a pity."

But the other party's calmness beyond his age and extremely sharp style of dealing with things left a deep impression on him. Such people must not be offended. Although they are just an assistant to the senator, as long as they are lucky, it is not a problem to go to Capitol Hill.

If you rely on your power to suppress others, it is difficult to guarantee that the other party will not say the harsh words of "Thirty years, Hedong and thirty years, Hexi, don't bully the young and poor" in the form of a sonnet.

That's a big problem.

As soon as he thought of this, he smiled: "Because you performed so well, there is an old Chinese saying that hoarding rare goods and waiting for high prices to be sold. It is said that an ancient businessman saw a down-and-out prince and immediately expressed this emotion, and then used his own money to fund the prince. In the end, the prince became an immortal king, and the businessman's investment was successful..."

Mickey continued not to speak.

This is not a silence in character, but a negotiation skill. Let the other party speak and wait until the other party has nothing to say before attacking, so that the position of the two parties during dialogue can be reversed in one fell swoop.

"This guy..." Edward smiled bitterly, "He's a talent."

He didn't understand these routines before, but now he understands them well.

"Actually, to solve the problem of Elma, you can just say hello to the Lexington Mental Hospital and the police station, and you can't use the senator at all. And this is equivalent to taking credit to yourself, and most young people will do this..."

"You are wrong," Mickey also replied with a smile. "I work for the senators and the senators work for the voters, so it is very appropriate to let the senators come forward to solve the problems of Beth and Elma. It is in line with professional norms and professional ethics, and of course more in line with human morality. I am proud of my actions."

"Tsk..." Edward smacked his lips. This guy was really difficult to deal with, and he said nothing.

This is more than enough to be the president of the House of Representatives or to become a majority leader in the Senate.

"Yes, I admit it," Edward shrugged, "but for someone who wrote on the blackboard when he was a political teacher, 'The three main factors in politics are: money! money! money!' and swearing to marry a wealthy wife, it seems a bit inconsistent with the heart?"

"Of course, I totally agree with you," Edward concluded.

"Your investigation was done very carefully." The other party remained silent.

"'Eyes' (Pinkerton) are not cheap. But worth it. I mean, although I paid a lot of money, I don't think it's a loss to use it on you."

"I just think you are praising me..."

"It's indeed a compliment." Edward seemed very relaxed. This routine was learned and sold immediately. Solomon praised him like this. He didn't show any expression and was indifferent, but it made people very comfortable. Both sides were not embarrassed. "I have seen many excellent peers, but you are the most special one."

"Oh? Where is it especially?"

"As you surpass your age, you are low-key, introverted, but you are never cowardly. Once the time needs it, you will make surprising moves, just like you come to me to show off today."

"Yes," Mickey smiled bitterly, her expression naturally did not look like a fake. "You know that in the United States, this is not an advantage or even a flaw. We worship aggressive heroes."

"Yes" Edward took out a bottle of 18-year-old single-mill whiskey from the wine cabinet and poured two glasses "Wait for me to get the ice."

"No, I don't like ice, the stock liquid makes people feel more exciting and pleasant."

"Yes, I just happen to think so!"

Edward handed the AMERIC glass carefully made of Czech crystal glass to the other party. The amber wine looked clearer and more unpredictable under the dim light.

"bite"

The two of them clinked their glasses lightly and took a sip.

"But, Mickey" This is the first time Edward calls the other party with a nickname. "You know I have half Chinese descent. My mother has lived in that country for a long time. She told me that there, your moral character is excellent and can achieve great things. And based on their physiognomy, you will have a great future..."

Edward said it very sincerely.

Usually, feelings can affect the other party, especially the party that has the advantage in status and power. If the party that shows a slight attitude, the party that has a lower status will probably be grateful.

Speaking of which, Solomon is his enlightenment teacher in this regard.

Facts have also proved that there is no need to say harsh words when fighting, killing, killing, and even stupid.

When facing problems, it is the most important thing to analyze the situation in a timely manner and make a decision about additional investment or stop loss immediately.

After the matter is finished, all emotions and thoughts will go with the wind. The next time is a brand new beginning. Both parties are still the objects that can be traded and cooperated, as long as they have common interests.

McConnell became an assistant to the senator at a young age, and he was a leader among his peers, but it depends on who he compared.

It is true that Marlowe Cook is a senator, but he is a relatively shallow connection with his abilities, qualifications and connections. It is hard to say whether he can be re-elected in six years.

The same Senator is so pissing compared to Fulbright, who is Colinton and is really annoying.

Of course, at least it is better than Nancy's boss who was forced to resign halfway.

If Edward had only looked up to such a person a year ago.

It's different now. Edward believes that he can fight the other side, although his side has a disadvantage - he doesn't have a Senate master on his own line.

But the advantages are also obvious. He is from Yale. He naturally has countless seniors and teachers in the legal system. These people will not come forward for him. But when these people stand behind him, a graduate of the University of Kentucky Law School who is a legislative assistant to the Senate, obviously a little timid.

Although he has five people under his command, and is also responsible for writing speeches for the Senate and receiving voters, this is considered a confidant, but compared with Edward, who comes from a well-off family, it is still a bit too good to read.

Secondly, over the past year, he has become stronger in both black and white, political and commercial terms. These characters will not make him famous, but as a weaver of a network of connections, he has a stronger ability to allocate and integrate resources.

Adding up the two, at least for the moment, Edward is in a comprehensive advantage against Mickey, psychologically, and actually.

Since McConnell can come, it means that he has also investigated Edward's background. The reason why he came to the door was probably because he wanted to cheat or ask for some resources to write in exchange.

If he can marry Beth Harmon, it will be very beneficial to his future political career.

At least it can greatly increase exposure, and as the husband of the "anti-Soviet hero", the United States is also a natural golden sign at this moment.

If Beth Harmon killed Pietross, he would naturally be a meritorious as a "goddess".

On the contrary, if he loses, he will not lose.

Even if he makes more money, as long as he shows his love in public, he will say a few words such as "No matter what the warrior is outside, she will always be my heart at home. Others only pay attention to how many enemies the warrior has cut down, and I will always want her to be happy..."

This is the most delicious thing for the American people.

"That girl obviously didn't tell me the truth, at least she didn't explain all the problems she faced." He was a little angry when he thought of this, but then he felt relieved. He was a person who wanted to do big things and would definitely face various sudden challenges from all sides in the future. Those enemies were much harder to deal with than the young and old ladies in front of him.

If this guy can't handle it, haha, I'd better disband the army quickly and find a corner to be an otaku.

The guy in front of me will definitely be a big crocodile in the future, but now he is a little stronger than the Yangtze crocodile and looks scary, but in fact it is still easier to deal with.

If the method is appropriate, you might be able to attract yourself a future ally.

"So, Mickey, do you think Senator Marlow Cook can continue to be re-elected in five years?" he asked. "I'm asking this question very seriously."

"I have full confidence in him!"

"Puchi" Edward laughed out loud.

"Come on, Mickey, there are no outsiders here... You and I are still young, we have an unlimited future and prospects, and there is no need to hang ourselves on a tree."

"I know, you have ambitions, but you are from an average family. Although your wife is from a good family, she is not a big rich man. So you need money to practice your political approach - money! money! money!"

McConnell remained silent.
To be continued...
