91, circle money, circle money, still circle money
The woman who can make Nucky care so much and be willing to let him be a Miss America judge is actually self-evident.
The mistress of future US President Harding!
"It seems that Miss Britton's ambition is not small!"
Donnie teased.
Nucky said disdainfully: "Women, sometimes they can't figure out their own situation."
Both Downey and Nucky have actually figured out that Britton just wants to use the increasingly popular Miss America to establish his own image in front of the American people.
Maybe this will give her a real chance to appear in public with Harding in the future.
Obviously, neither Downey nor Nucky are optimistic about this.
How could Harding, a child from a rural area and a tabloid reporter, eventually become the President of the United States? It was entirely because Harding found a powerful wife, Florence!
Florence's natal family is a member of the Cleveland Group, one of the top ten financial groups in the United States.
It was precisely because of the identity of the other party that Harding, who was as handsome as a Hollywood actor at the time, was willing to marry Florence, who was five years older than himself, divorced, and had a child... The most important thing was that he was divorced and had a child.
Still ugly!
After Harding became president, he thought about being able to escape the control of his wife, but the idea was beautiful, but the reality was skinny.
Harding never escaped the control of his wife throughout his life, and many tabloids later attributed Harding's death to Florence.
Nucky doesn't know this history, but he can judge from Florence's situation that it is impossible for Britton to replace Florence's position!
"No matter what, she is Harding's favorite, and we still have to give Harding some face!"
Nucky said to Downey.
Downey nodded. The original intention of hosting Miss America was to get in touch with senior executives in the United States. Now that Britton is on the line, Downey will naturally not give up.
"Of course, after all, she is one of the future president's women..."
After talking about Britton, Nucky talked to Donnie about the Miss America preliminary contest, "The old guys in the city are a little impatient. It seems that we don't have to worry about the preliminary contest in Atlantic City.
Got it!"
Downey nodded and said: "What I'm worried about has never been the situation here in Atlantic City, but the situation in several other cities."
Nucky smiled and said: "You can rest assured on this, I have already called several other cities, and they are very satisfied with the current situation. Only 80% of the tickets have been sold.
”
The rules set by Downey were the same in the preliminary rounds in several cities.
The event will be held in the most famous tavern in the local city, and invitations will be sent to wealthy businessmen in the city. Of course, an invitation is an invitation, and you still have to pay the money.
A $1,000 ticket is definitely a huge sum of money for ordinary people, but for those rich, $1,000 may be just a bargaining chip for them.
Downey and Nucky also get a commission from this fund, three out of ten!
Even so, the pubs in those cities are determined to do this.
In addition, Downey and Nucky also took 30% of the profits from the flowers purchased in the store on the day of the Miss America preliminary contest.
Each flower costs US$20, and all we want is for these rich Americans to become the first in the list.
After explaining the situation in several cities, Downey and Nucky left the office and came to the lobby.
Lucy and Britton were dancing on the dance floor at this time. Although there were people around them who would come up and dance together, nothing excessive would happen. Everyone didn't know Britton, but they knew Lucy.
.
Except for daring people like Downey, no one else would dare to provoke Lucy.
Seeing the two of them walking down the stairs, Lucy brought Briton to them. Although Britton didn't speak, his eyes looked directly at Downey. It was obvious that he wanted to know Downey's identity.
Decision.
"Welcome Miss Britton to become one of the judges of our Miss America finals. I hope Miss Britton can fight for greater rights and interests for the majority of women in the United States. After all, women can hold up half the sky!"
Because of the saying that a woman can hold up half the sky, Britton's eyes lit up, he stretched out his hand again, shook hands with Downey and said, "Mr. Bullock, do you really think so?"
Downey brought Nucky, Lucy, and Britten to an empty table. After sitting down, Downey smiled and said: "Of course, otherwise how could I have thought of holding the Miss America election? Actually, it's
I want more people to see independent American women in the new era.
American women in this era are no longer men's appendages. They have the right to vote and can work. In fact, many women now have taken on the responsibility of supporting their families.
But they don’t get the corresponding respect, which I can’t accept!”
After Donnie finished speaking, a bunny girl came over with a drink.
Britton looked at the bunny girl who put down her drink and left, and asked with a smile: "But Mr. Bullock, your pub is still using women's bodies to attract customers. Is this what you advocate for making women independent?"
Downey showed a dissatisfied look, and Nucky and Lucy thought that Downey was dissatisfied because Britton had touched on his hurt points.
Britton thought he saw Downey's hypocrisy.
"Miss Britton, I thought you were a person who really considers women, but now it seems that you are not like this, which makes me very disappointed in you."
"Did I say something wrong somewhere?"
Britton was a little dissatisfied with Downey's accusations, and he did not hide his dissatisfaction at all.
Looking at Braeden's performance, Nucky shook his head slightly. With such a mind, Donnie showed his true inner thoughts with just one sentence. Under such circumstances, do you still want to compete with Florence?
"Of course!" Downey shouted: "Miss Britton, do you know the lady just now? Do you know her name? Her experience? Her family? You have given your opinion on her work. What do you think?
Her job is to get paid by selling her body?"
Britton's face turned red, obviously he was a little annoyed by Downey's series of questions.
"No matter what kind of problems she has, they should not be the reason why you let her do this job!"
A woman who works as a mistress for the president and fantasizes about replacing her first wife, is she self-righteously criticizing a bunny girl for her work?
Fortunately, Downey knows enough about a woman like Braeden, otherwise he would be really angry, not because of the other party's identity, nor because of the other party's behavior. After all, Downey is not a moral person. Downey is so angry
I think it's entirely because this woman is stupid enough.
"Susie Bening came to Atlantic City with her parents five years ago and lived in the West Side, which was second only to the North Side at that time. In order to support the family, Susie's father had to work on the dock, but just like this, Susie still
Susie received a good education and became a student at Columbia University this year. However, the high tuition fees at Columbia University discouraged Susie. Now she does not work two jobs a day. She works in a bakery in the morning and in the afternoon.
At night, I would come to work at Block Tavern in order to earn enough money to go to college.
She has never despised her work, and she is full of energy when she comes every day. Moreover, Susie also understands that only if she has worked at the real bottom, after she graduates from college, can she work for women in the same situation as her.
Speak up.
For such a determined, ideal and ambitious woman, I really can’t understand why, Britton, as a woman who aims to speak out for women, you look down on her work!?”
Downey's words made Britten feel ashamed, and he even stood up immediately: "Mr. Bullock, I apologize to you for my inappropriate remarks just now, and I hope to get your forgiveness!"
Donnie shook his head and said: "You should not apologize to me, but to apologize to Susie, who was looked down upon by you. If she knew what you just said, she would be very sad!"
"This is indeed what you should do!"
After saying that, Britton stood up and walked in the direction of Britton.
"It's okay, not hopelessly stupid!"
Nucky looked at Britton's reaction and said with a smile.
Tang Fei said: "After all, I have been with Harding for a while."
"What do you two mean?" Lucy did not understand what Donnie and Nucky meant.
Donnie and Nucky looked at each other and smiled, instead of answering Lucy's question, they clinked glasses with each other.
Lucy curled her lips when she saw the two people's actions, and then said to Downey: "I didn't expect you to be so caring, Downey. Are all the bunny girls in Block Tavern like this?"
Donnie laughed and said: "Only Susie is in this situation. In fact, Susie has already earned her four-year college expenses!"
Although Lucy is not as smart as Downey and Nucky, she is still smarter than Britton. After hearing this, she understood what Nucky meant.
"Poor Britton!"
Since Britton is followed by Harding, according to Downey and Nucky's characters, if they don't squeeze out all the value of this woman, it will definitely not be in line with their characters.
"Donnie, thank you very much for everything you have done for Susie. You are a man who truly takes action to fight for more rights for us women!"
At this time, Britten had returned to Susie's side. Susie, who was standing in the distance, looked confused. The woman just now must be sick. She came over and said "Come on" to him inexplicably, and then inexplicably
I talked about some things that are available and not available.
