37. We should keep in touch with Downey.
"Donny, try this steak cooked by Elena herself. It's not easy to eat such pure fried steak in Atlantic City!"
In a two-story villa, Downey and the Dorn couple were sitting in the dining room and enjoying dinner. The Dorn couple's children were playing with the toys that Downey brought, accompanied by the servants in the living room.
Although Brad Dorn is only thirty years old, the hair on his head is already thinning, and his slightly curly hairstyle gives him a lot of respect.
Looking at the enthusiastic Brad Dorn, Downey also smiled: "I haven't eaten pure steak for a long time. Thank you very much for Mrs. Dorn's hospitality!"
Elena Dorn had already taken off her apron at this time, with a polite smile on her face: "This is what we should do. Dorn once told me that every guest who comes to our house should be...
You can feel at home!"
Donnie laughed and said, "Then I'm not welcome!"
At the dinner table, the three of them did not talk about any key topics. After they finished eating, the servants began to clear away the dishes, and Downey and Dorn came to their study.
"Donny, what did Nucky say?"
At this time, Brad couldn't wait to ask Downey. After the words fell, Elena Dorn, who was sitting next to him, gently held Brad's hand.
Only then did Brad feel that what he had just done was a bit urgent.
"I have met with Nucky today, and he is very welcoming of the conditions we proposed. I would like to congratulate you, Mr. Dorn. I believe that soon, you will become our city judge in Atlantic City.
And the New Jersey state legislator!"
After getting a positive answer from Downey, Elena Dorn and Brad Dorn were truly relieved.
This is especially true for Elena Dorn. She served Downey twice in the office. If she still can't get the answer they want, then she will really explode!
"Thank you so much, Donnie!"
Brad Dorn stood up and enthusiastically held Downey's hands, thanking him seriously.
"This is what I should do, after all we are friends!"
Downey picked up his traditional speaking skills. Anyway, those who can use each other and cooperate with each other are friends.
"Yes, yes, we are friends, very good friends!"
Brad said enthusiastically.
Downey continued: "I have already made an agreement with Nucky. Tomorrow morning, Mr. Dorn...Brad, you are going to go to the Reitz Hotel to discuss the details with Nucky."
."
Although Nucky reluctantly agreed to Downey's conditions in the end, he definitely still wanted to see Brad Dorn, and Downey had already thought about what Nucky would say after meeting Brad Dorn.
.
It's just that I was very optimistic about Brad Dorn before. In fact, I had already decided on the idea of letting Brad Dorn be elected. It's just that I have been busy recently and I didn't bother to talk about some words for meeting Brad Dorn.
.
To put it simply, Nucky wants to minimize Downey's role in this matter.
Regarding this, Downey didn't have any worries. In fact, whether it was to deal with the Ku Klux Klan or the Dorn couple, Downey took advantage of Nucky's power. This is undisputed, and Downey also believes that if time passes,
With permission, Nucky will definitely be able to solve the troubles between the Klan and the WCTU.
But the problem is that Nucky is so busy in the current situation that he has no time at all.
This gives Downey a loophole to take advantage of. Now that he is the direct contact between Mobley and the Dorns, no matter what Nucky says, they will remember everything he has done.
And Donnie also understands that there are no eternal friends in this world, only eternal interests!
Therefore, Downey will also have common interests with the Dorns.
"No problem, I'll go find Nucky early tomorrow morning!" Brad said excitedly.
Downey waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't be too early. After all, everyone in Atlantic City knows that Nucky will not get up so early!"
Brad Dorn was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and Elena Dorn also smiled lightly.
"Mrs. Dorn, actually I came here tonight to discuss something with you. I hope I can get your support!"
Downey began to discuss cooperation with Elena Dorn.
Elena Dorn was slightly startled. Before, she and Downey were discussing the political future of their couple. Now that the matter has been declared to be over, what else is left?
"Donny, you said that we are friends, and your business is our husband and wife's business!"
"That's right!" Brad Dorn said excitedly.
Downey adjusted his sitting position, and then smiled: "I think Mrs. Donne, you must have known from Margaret that I am not only the owner of a tavern in Atlantic City, but also the president of the Mutual Aid and Friendship Association, but we
After all, the Mutual Aid and Friendship Association has just been established and has no foundation in Atlantic City. I personally don’t have much experience in this area.
So I want our Mutual Aid and Friendship Association to cooperate with WCTU, and you will send people to guide our work.
Of course, I also know that many female friends in WCTU are unemployed, which also puts them under a lot of pressure in their respective families.
It is precisely in view of this situation that I decided to donate $1,000 to WCTU every year, and I also decided that if I have the opportunity to expand my business, I will target women in WCTU as my main recruitment target!"
"Really?"
This time even Elena Dorn, who has always been calm, cannot remain calm.
In fact, this time, her compromise was more out of consideration for her husband. After all, choosing to compromise would cause someone within the WCTU to express dissatisfaction with her decision, and it might divide her rights in the WCTU.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
But now Downey's decision has truly given her a step up.
As mentioned before, for organizations like WCTU, all their activity funds and operating expenses come from social donations.
It’s easier to say something in other places. After all, there are still a large number of people in other places who support the prohibition of alcohol.
But in Atlantic City, no one supports Prohibition, so the WCTU in Atlantic City can be said to be struggling.
Although a donation of US$1,000 a year is not much, it can help Elena Dorn solve the work problems of women in some associations. For Elena Dorn, this is definitely the best way to attract people's hearts.
As for letting these women who hold high the banner of prohibition go to work in pubs... We prohibit alcohol, but it doesn't stop us from working in pubs!
Such an idea may not be understood in other places, especially in the East, but in the United States, such a situation is simply too normal.
"Of course, friends should be honest with each other. Isn't it the purpose of our association to love and help each other?"
Donnie said with a sincere face.
Elena was no longer as excited as before. She always felt that Donnie had other ideas about this matter, but she couldn't think of it for a while, so Elena decided not to think about it anymore and said to Donnie seriously.
"Donny, thank you very much for your generosity. I also believe that the entire WCTU Association will also be grateful for your generosity!"
"This is what I should do!" Downey said humbly.
Subsequently, the two parties had a detailed exchange on cooperation, but because Brad Dorn was here, they could not have in-depth exchanges.
When leaving the Dorn couple's home, Downey inadvertently put forward two conditions.
The first one is naturally to hope that Brad Dorn will casually talk about Robert when he meets Nucky tomorrow.
The second one is to hope that Elena Dorn can let Margaret serve as the liaison between the Mutual Aid and Friendship Association and WCTU!
Naturally, the Dorns have no objections to these two matters.
After Donnie left, Dawn walked back and forth in his study excitedly, and then held Elena's hand.
"Dear, I can finally realize my political ambitions!"
Elena said with tenderness in her eyes: "I always believe in you!"
"Fortunately, I have Downey's help this time. Otherwise, it would still be very difficult for me to complete this step!"
"DeDaoDuoZhu, dear, you deserve it!"
"Honey, I can feel that this Downey is a very ambitious and capable person. The two of us should keep in touch with him frequently in the future!"
"I thought so too!"
"But my identity will be somewhat special in the future, so I'll leave it to you to contact him!"
"This is what I should do!"
After leaving Dorn's house, Downey came to the hospital and saw Margaret lying on the hospital bed and reading a book.
Margaret was a little dazed when she saw Downey visiting late at night, and then smelled the smell of alcohol on Downey's body.
"Drinking?"
Margaret asked worriedly.
Downey nodded and sat next to Margaret's bed with a very tired look, "I did drink some, discussed some specific matters with Ms. Dorn and his wife, but didn't want to go back to the noisy place in the tavern.
I just wanted to come and sit here with you!"
Margaret blushed slightly, but still said happily: "How was your chat?"
"It went very smoothly!" Downey forced himself to smile brightly, and then chatted with Margaret about the cooperation between the Mutual Aid Association and WCTU that he had talked about with Elena Dorn.
Margaret's body had almost recovered at this time, and she was very happy after listening to Donnie's words, chattering endlessly about the plan for cooperation between the two parties.
When she felt her abdomen tighten, she saw that Downey had fallen asleep on her body.
Watching Downey sleeping, Margaret thought of all the past encounters between the two, and couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke Downey's head.
Downey opened his eyes and looked at Margaret with burning eyes.
This look in her eyes made Margaret look a little flustered, but she looked at Downey without evasion as if she was already prepared.
Then Donnie's head slowly moved forward, and finally he was pressed tightly against Margaret.
In the corridor outside the hospital, there were sounds of 'squeak, squeak', and the woman's deliberately lowered voice...
The next day, Downey returned to the Bullock Tavern refreshed. When he walked into the Bullock Tavern, he saw Robert drinking beer and sitting there proudly saying that he was in a security prison.
How to kill everyone.
