"Master, Mr. Carlos is waiting for you in the living room!" On this day, the butler Rob reported to Tang Ning.
Because she was writing "Crazy Oil Painting", Tangning didn't react for a moment and asked casually: "Which Mr. Carlos?"
"That's Mr. Philip Carlos of the Constitutional Federalist Party!" Robert reminded.
Tangning immediately exclaimed, and at the same time she blamed herself, because a few years ago, she had asked someone to find connections to join the Constitutional Federal Party, and then ran for Congress. Why hadn't she seen each other in the past few years, and she almost forgot her name?
So he quickly came to the living room and greeted warmly: "Uncle Philip, long time no see!"
Phillip smiled kindly and replied: "It's really been a long time, Tony. What have you been busy with recently?"
"I just came back from New York a few days ago, and I'm currently busy writing a novel for City Paper." Tangning answered.
After a few pleasantries, Philip got down to business: "Tony, do you remember when you ran for Congress?"
Tangning nodded and replied, "Remember, it was Uncle Philip who gave me the opportunity back then!"
"So do you still have all those campaign materials from back then?" Philip asked again.
Tangning was stunned for a moment, and then replied with some uncertainty: "I have to look for this. After all, the gap has been too long, especially since there was a war in the middle!"
"Yes, this war has really changed so many things!" Philip said with emotion.
Then he asked: "Tony, do you still want to run for Congress this year?"
Tangning was stunned again, because not only was he not prepared for the question Phillip asked today, but he hadn't thought about it that way for several years, and he had almost forgotten about this person.
So after two seconds he replied: "To be honest, I haven't thought about it, but if you wish, Uncle Philip"
But before Tangning could finish her words, Phillip interrupted: "I guess Tony, you don't have time to run for election now. After all, you have so many businesses and you have to write novels. In fact, this is why I came here today.
My nephew Linton plans to run for Congress this year on behalf of our Constitutional Federalist Party. I remember that the issues you proposed back then seemed pretty good, but as you said, after all, it has been too long and we have experienced this damn war, so I
I can’t remember it clearly, I just wanted to see if Tony, you still have any drafts here.”
After hearing this, Tangning immediately understood why this old guy Felipe Carlos came to visit him. He was here to find information for his nephew to run for parliament. After thinking about it carefully, he was actually right.
It is definitely a good idea to use your own topic "Healing the Pain of War" to win over the votes of injured soldiers.
And no wonder he interrupted himself just now. If he said he wanted to run for office, how could he ask for information for his nephew? This cunning old guy!
Although she understood what the old man was thinking, Tangning still sent someone to search for it and gave Phillip some of the information that could still be found.
After the old man left, Tangning fell into deep thought. At this time, Heidi joked: "What, you regret it?"
Unexpectedly, Tangning nodded and replied, "Well, I regret it a bit!"
"Since you still want to run for election, why did you give the information to Philip just now?" Heidi asked in confusion.
Tangning spread her hands and said, "Because even if I want to run, it's too late this year. First of all, the Constitutional Federalist Party is definitely out of luck, because it's obvious that the old man intends to support his nephew. Now I'm temporarily changing the party and qualifying for the election.
It’s not a problem that can be solved in a short time, so we can only consider the next session.”
"Tony, you are right, it will definitely be too late this year!" Heidi agreed, but then changed the topic and said: "But it is actually a good thing not to be able to run for office, because politics is very troublesome, and there are often those who have to go
To socialize, say some true and false things, I don’t want you to become like that, writing novels and painting all day long like now!”
"It is true that there are many unpleasant things about being in politics, but if you really become a member of the parliament, there are also many benefits. If you don't believe me, just ask your brother!" Tang Ning replied with a smile.
Heidi chuckled and said: "He, he can't do this. In fact, my brother also tried it at the beginning. I only know what I just told you from his experience. Fortunately, he gave up later and concentrated on following
You’re in business!”
Tang Ning thought to herself that Brian was indeed not suitable for politics, but Heidi could say this, but it was not convenient for her as her brother-in-law. So she smiled and agreed, "If you didn't tell me, I really didn't know that Brian was also participating.
Pass the election!”
"He has never participated in an election, because he has not even passed the intra-party voting. In fact, you don't know, my brother has tried a lot of things back then." Heidi then told a lot of embarrassing things about Brian's past.
, Tangning listened with great interest.
Tangning originally thought that the matter would just go away, but she didn't expect that half a month later, Philip came over again and asked Tangning with a sad look on his face: "Tony, do you want to represent our Constitutional Federal Party in this year's parliamentary election?"
"But isn't Uncle Philip and your nephew Linton participating in this year's parliamentary election on behalf of our Constitutional Federalist Party?" Tangning asked in confusion.
Phillip sighed and said: "Hey, I originally wanted Linton to run for election, but I didn't expect that he suddenly became seriously ill and couldn't go, so I thought, this issue was originally raised by you Tony,
And I can see that you also have this intention, so it is better for Tony to represent our Constitutional Federal Party to participate in this year's parliamentary election. Otherwise, if no one runs for election this year, then there may not be such a quota in the next term.
Got it!"
Tang Ning was very surprised by this news. She didn't expect that this opportunity would come back to her in a roundabout way. However, although she was absolutely convinced in her heart, Tang Ning still hesitated on the surface: "Oh, Uncle Philip, you...
The news is a bit too sudden, can you give me some time to think about it?"
Although Phillip knew that Tangning was taking advantage of Qiao, he had no choice but to endure it: "Okay, but Tony, you have to think about it as soon as possible. After all, there is not much time before the election!"
"Don't worry, I will give you a definite answer within three days at most!" Tang Ning promised.
PS: I found out that Da Luoluo has opened a new book "1825 My New Ming Dynasty". This guy is really hard-working. If several books hadn't been banned, they would have already exceeded 20 million words, but to be honest, I like it the most
The most important one is his old book "Dream of the Celestial Dynasty"!
