A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 468 Don’t humiliate my IQ

"How should I put it, Senator Harry, in my opinion, Harding still has a chance."

"Haha, you support Mr. Wood, Mr. Thompson."

Thompson looked at Harry's playful smile and said seriously:

"I think he and Lawton will continue to stalemate. In that case, both of them will basically have no chance. However, don't expect Harding to win quickly, but by the fifth or sixth round of voting , those fed-up delegates will hope someone wins, and when that happens, I'll have the Jersey delegation vote for Harding."

Seeing that the chat between the two finally turned into a political deal that made him excited, Harry asked with a smile:

"The condition is that Ai Zhi nominates the vice president?"

Yes, people in this circle are very aware of the relationship between Thompson and Ai Zhi.

This term, Senator Ai Chi is very promising.

However, Thompson's answer made Harry's jaw drop.

"No, it's to make sure Edge doesn't get nominated for vice president."

"Did I hear you correctly?" At this time, Harry looked at Thompson in confusion, so much so that he didn't even notice the expression of appreciation on Arthur's face who was sitting next to him.

"Gentlemen, don't think of me as a little guy who stabbed his friends in the back. Walter Edge was a despicable liar. He gave all my road funds to Frank."

Harry knew about the 3000 million road grant. Both Jersey City and Atlantic City were competing for this grant, but theoretically it shouldn't have been finalized yet, right?

"How do you know he did this?" Harry asked.

"All you need to know is that Frank is a meaner bastard."

Thompson had no intention of going all out with Harry.

Harry and Thompson reached a deal so quickly, which is not to say that it was a temporary move. After all, in the plan, after Thompson visited Arthur, he would go to the party conference and meet Harry at the meeting. I proposed this deal, but I just happened to meet it here, and it was solved by the way.

"It seems that neither of you regards me as an outsider?" Arthur said with a smile.

"Mr. Morgan, stop joking. This means that you don't want to get involved too much. Otherwise, why is it so complicated?"

Listening to Harry flattering Arthur, Thompson, who was used to being a local emperor, was still somewhat dismissive in his heart.

But he said honestly:
"Since Senator Harry specially came to visit Mr. Morgan before the meeting, he is obviously not an outsider."

Arthur smiled and shook his head and said:
"Actually, the Senator Walter Edge you mentioned has also come to visit me. It seems that your conference location is not far from here? Anyway, he is in the guest room now..."

At this point, Arthur said no more. Harry and Thompson must have understood it.

Harry stood up, buttoned his suit, and said:

"Mr. Morgan, I believe you have other things to talk about, so I won't interrupt you for now."

"Please do it. As for what you just told me, I will let Hans contact you." Arthur nodded and said.

After Harry left, Thompson took out a cigarette after indicating his consent.

"Mr. Morgan, first of all, the purpose of my trip is to thank you for your support and help."

"Do you mean?"

"Mr. McGuire and your son, Geraint, and the dealer you have chosen to make me your business..."

"Nucky, can I call you that?" Arthur interrupted.

"Of course." "If you want to thank me, forget it. In fact, these have nothing to do with me. I'm just a retired old man."

Hearing what Arthur said, Thompson did not refute, but said:

"Concerning your daughter's candidacy, I can provide her with some minor conveniences."

"Then what do you want?"

"Edge deceived me and treated me like a fool. I found out he was a partner in a road construction company. I didn't need to know if the road company was headquartered in Jersey City, but I was pretty sure it wasn't. Atlantic City." There was an uncontrollable anger in Thompson's tone, the anger after being played.

"Nucky, is it possible this is a..."

Before Arthur finished speaking, there was a knock on the door outside. The butler reminded Arthur that Senator Edge wanted to see him. In response, Arthur turned his head and glanced at Thompson. After confirming that there was no problem, Arthur Then he signaled for the housekeeper to invite people in.

"Morgan...ah? Nucky, why are you here? Shouldn't you be on your way to the conference now?" Ai Zhi's tone was full of surprise.

"I'm not going, Aiji, Senator." Thompson's expression showed a coldness.

"You're not going? Who will handle those representatives? How can we ensure that they vote the way we want? Who will handle our affairs?"

Ai Zhi glanced at Arthur apologetically as he spoke. If Thompson's absence was not very important to him, he would not be very willing to say this in front of Arthur.

"Hey, why don't you go and ask Frank to help you do it?" Thompson said sarcastically.

"Frank?" Ai Zhi asked with confusion on his face:

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Ai Zhi pretending to be innocent and confused, Thompson mocked mercilessly: "We have known each other for so long, idiot, why can't you be more direct?"

Hearing this, Ai Zhi turned away unhappily, rolled his eyes, then turned back, stared at Thompson and asked:

"You're calling me an idiot? You're talking to a U.S. Senator."

"Oh, you can only climb to this position, idiot. You and Frank teamed up to trick me..."

"Nucky." Edge interrupted Thompson's accusation and continued to explain:

"I don't understand what you are talking about..."

"Don't fucking insult my intelligence," Thompson interrupted loudly, looking straight into Edge's eyes.

Ai Zhi was silent for a while, and finally showed a standard politician's smile. He seemed helpless and explained:

"This is just political necessity, Nucky. I will make it up to you later."

"How long will it take?"

Thompson didn't believe a word of what Ai Zhi said.

"After I enter the White House..."

"Mr. Senator, your only chance to get into the White House is to take a fucking tour with a tour guide."

After saying this, no matter how high Ai Zhi's political literacy was, he began to feel a little unbearable.

Although Thompson can ignore Arthur who is watching the excitement, he can't. Losing Jersey's vote may not necessarily prevent him from entering the White House, but if Arthur is disgusted, then he may really only be able to travel while traveling. Went to the White House.
