American Entertainment 1982

The private reception held by Bill was held at a small art gallery in Miami. The owner of the gallery, Gerald Arias, is a die-hard supporter of Bill Clinton. Another identity is the brother of Hillary's sister-in-law, Maria Rodham. .

Why does Bill rush here when there is a problem with the Democratic Party in Miami? Because there are two brothers of his wife Hillary here to maintain local connections for him. Hillary has two younger brothers. The first brother, Hugh Rodham, graduated. At Pennsylvania State University, he served as the chairman of the fraternity's stormtrooper club and was considered a popular figure on campus. After graduation, he originally wanted to become an ideal international teaching volunteer. To this end, he went to a country in South America that lacked education to teach. , if this continues, he may become a social activist and educator who can win many awards.

But unfortunately, he had a sister named Hillary. When Bill ran for Arkansas Attorney General for the first time, Hugh was called back from Columbia by Hillary and joined Bill's campaign team. Two years later, Bill ran again. Shortly after becoming the governor of Arkansas, Bill used his status as governor to help Hugh obtain an advanced law degree from the University of Arkansas. After receiving the degree, Hillary used her and Bill's connections in the legal world to arrange for Hugh to go to Florida. An investigator who serves as a public prosecutor in Texas County is now a public defender in the Miami Drug Court. His wife, Maria Rodham, is of Cuban origin and is a lawyer graduated from the University of Miami School of Law. She specializes in real estate-related laws. The two met in 1886. After getting married, the husband and wife team worked together tacitly. Hugh gained the gratitude of many drug addicts and even ordinary people in Miami by virtue of his status as a public defender, because his job was to prevent a large number of low-level drug addicts from being arrested, while his wife was arrested for her work in real estate law. He is proficient and has the trust of many wealthy people in Miami.

The two couples are already well-known people in Miami. What's even more bizarre is that the husband is a Democrat and the Cuban wife is a Republican, but this does not affect the relationship between the couple at all.

The second younger brother, Anthony Rodham, has a more legendary experience than his older brother. He participated in the future brother-in-law’s election team during college, and his academic qualifications are the same as his older brother’s, an advanced degree in law from the University of Arkansas, and he did not engage in law-related work after graduation. Instead of working, he first worked as a consultant for some companies, traveling all over the United States, from Texas, Arkansas, to Maine, and his hometown of Chicago. To put it simply, he worked for his sister and brother-in-law. Earning some money that they couldn't help themselves to, until one time he got into trouble in a Chicago public housing project and was shot. Fortunately, he didn't die. After that, Bill helped him arrange for a job as a Chicago prison corrections officer. However, this job made him very uncomfortable as he was used to big scenes. He finally contacted his brother Hugh and also went to Miami to work as an investigator and private detective for his brother.

It can be said that the metropolis of Miami is one of Bill Clinton's important bases.

Waiting for Page to help Tommy and Ottilia open the car door, the two walked arm in arm towards the main entrance of the gallery under the bright lights, and walked through the living room, where Bill and Hillary were waiting for every couple coming tonight The guests, when they saw Tommy and Otilia appear, both sides immediately showed surprised expressions. Bill and Tommy hugged each other, and Hilary and Otilia kissed each other affectionately. In exchange, Bill gently touched Otilia's cheek in a gentle manner, while Tommy needed to lean in and let his face touch Hilary's face lightly.

"Thank you for the compliment, Tommy." Bill always had that hearty smile on his face.

Tommy shrugged and responded with a smile: "Of course, you know, Otilia can't miss the topic of environmental protection. As her boyfriend, I must support her."

"Otilia, you are so beautiful tonight." Hilary next to her also praised Otilia in a heartfelt tone.

Otilia smiled and joked: "Diane, I bet you will say this to every female guest who comes to the party tonight."

"Yes, that's what she did." Bill next to him said.

All four of them laughed, and then Bill patted Tommy on the back: "Go in and ask the bartender to prepare a glass of special wine for you, enjoy the reception, and sit down and chat after Diane and I have finished receiving all the guests. .”

"Thank you again for coming tonight, Tommy." Hillary said as well.

Leaving the politician couple as ushers, Tommy continued to walk into the hall with Otilia on his arm. Because it is an exhibition hall of a gallery, it looks more artistic than an ordinary reception, but the procedure is no different , a small band in the corner played soothing dance music, and there were more than a dozen couples of men and women dancing ballroom dances to the music, and some guests were sitting on the sofa next to them, or drinking and chatting in the cigar and cigarette area.

Ottilia knew more people than Tommy, at least as soon as he entered the hall, before Tommy poured a glass of mead from the waiter's tray, two women came up to greet Ottilia, obviously Ottilia Otilia introduced Tommy to them, and then the husbands of the two women appeared in due course, and the six of them started chatting nonsense like old friends.

Fortunately, this situation didn't last long, and Stephen also came. The only thing that surprised Tommy was that this guy brought Jeff's sister-in-law Gina to the reception. Tommy thought that this guy could find an identity to look More noble women attended him.

Leaving Otilia, who had long been used to it, chatting with a few people about the recent arrangements of the New Century Foundation, Tommy and Stephen sat in the cigar area, watching Gina, a big girl from the country, look at the entire reception venue curiously, according to Sample a variety of drinks and food based on the waiter's recommendations.

"Why did you bring Gina here? Once the boy is in your hands, your relationship with her will be over, understand?" Tommy said to Stephen, taking a sip of mead.

Stephen picked a cigar under the recommendation of the waiter, and said in his mouth: "It doesn't matter, anyway, Bill and Diane don't need to maintain a relationship with my female companion. It doesn't matter who my wife is, what they need is from the Binn family. support."

"I'm not worried about your impolite behavior, buddy, I'm worried that Gina is a cheerful and simple silly girl, don't let this hypocritical high-class wine ruin her." Tommy said: "Jeff's family are pure good people, they Not suitable for this kind of place.”

Before he could say a few words, Hugh, Hillary's younger brother, appeared. He and Stephen were more familiar, and he came to say hello. Tommy got up after exchanging greetings with him. Otilia, who had no chance to dance with her, had no choice but to walk to the bar.

Put the wine glass in his hand on the bar, then leaned back on the bar, looking at the guests tonight boredly, Bill and his wife have already entered the venue, chatting with some people very friendly, Tommy knew that it would not be long before Bill should Show up and talk to yourself about Rosario Kennedy.

Just as he was thinking about how to tell the other party about this matter, when he subconsciously reached for the wine glass on the bar, he found nothing. He turned his head and realized that at some point, a brown man in a light evening dress The pretty girl appeared next to him, holding his half-empty glass of wine in her hand, observing him with a half-smile.

"If I remember correctly, that glass is my wine." Tommy said with a smile at the other party.

The woman nodded: "I know."

Then he raised the remaining glass of wine to his mouth and drank it in one gulp. While drinking, his eyes continued to look at Tommy, full of provocation.

"Louise de Vere, from..."

"From Illinois, graduated from the State University of New York, majoring in political science, currently serving as the external communications secretary for the Rosario-Kennedy campaign team." Tommy continued the other person's self-introduction and finished in one breath.

The provocative expression on the woman's face suddenly turned awkward.

"Before you know who Jeff Lavine is, his campaign manager has already figured out the general information about the campaign team members of all the powerful candidates in the 18th district." Tommy turned around and looked towards the person behind the bar. The bartender snapped his fingers, signaling the other party to prepare another drink for him, and then continued.

Louise Deville quickly returned to her previous bright expression, and she said to Tommy with playful eyes: "I just got the information about you yesterday, Tommy Hawke, Vox TV Network, BT TV Network, EFF Fund Yes, Actor Company, Hailine..."

"If you want to remind me how many shares of the company I hold, I don't think it is necessary. I have a special company to handle my investments, and my accounting is also handed over to KPMG. If I think so, they can tell you more clearly than you. Tommy took the wine glass handed by the bartender: "It's better to get straight to the point, and let me introduce you. Did you see the lady who was surrounded by four women and still attracted many men to look at her? My girlfriend, generally Wherever she appears with me, no other woman can tempt me."

"are you sure?"

"I'm very sure." Tommy took a sip of wine: "Even if a more beautiful woman does appear, I won't be tempted, because she and I were in bed a few hours before coming here, just to make sure there would be no accidents. .”

"A cautious man."

"You can also just say that I have been squeezed dry. Not to mention you, beautiful Miss Louise Deville. Even if the American beauty pageant champion appears at the reception tonight, I will still be a genuine gentleman."

"Tommy, wow, I think you've met Louise?" Bill came over with a drink and joined the conversation: "Louise and Lorna are Maria's good friends. Do you know Maria? Hugh's wife."

As he talked lightly with Tommy, Hillary's brother Hugh Rodham, who had been waiting nearby, had already walked over holding the hand of his wife Maria. At this time, the Cuban female lawyer named Maria stretched out her hand to Tommy. : "Mr. Hawke, nice to meet you."

Tommy shook hands with the other person, looked at Bill and smiled: "What should I say?"

Bill is a very charming guy, tall, handsome, and likes to be in the limelight. Whether you need a man to be your buddy, or a woman needs a man with a big body and a good job to have an affair, he is the best choice.

When this guy ran for governor of Arkansas, his campaign philosophy was actually not friendly enough to female voters. This allowed his opponents to seize on the flaws and attack him, which made female voters resent him. However, Bill couldn't deny it head-on because he was doing it for his donors. Support must persist, but in order to regain the impression points, this guy planned a news incident. He and his wife went to a restaurant to eat, and suddenly the chandelier fell. Bill's first reaction at that time was to throw his wife under him, and the chandelier hit him hard. His back was smashed to pieces.

This news made all the headlines in the state, as well as Hillary's post-event interview as a wife, thanking her for having such a caring, reliable, and brave husband, and then Bill took advantage of the situation and told women in general that he would protect Arkansas as much as he protects his wife. All women in the state.

This incident caused Bill's support rate among female voters to rise almost linearly. All women felt that he was a truly good man. After all, when the accident came, he desperately threw his wife under him and blocked the dangerous attack. one strike.

But in fact, the chandelier was specially made of candies, and cameras were used in the restaurant under various reasonable excuses to ensure that his actions were captured immediately, and even to make his and Hillary's reactions at the time look more real. The team hired professional acting teachers to guide them.

What’s even more bizarre is that this idea came up when a female advertising planner was having an affair with him. If a lover who was cheating on him could help him win the election and attract female voters to support him, you would know that this guy was interested in him. How scary is the charm of women.

Anyway, Tommy once told the bodyguards around Otilia that when Otilia meets this guy, the security will be twice as strong as in Africa to prevent this bastard who can't control zippers from seducing his wife.

Bill waved his hand, and the others took a few steps back, leaving space for the two of them. Then he smiled at Tommy and said, "If you want to set up some business in Miami, Rona is obviously the one you choose better than Jeff." -Laven's better choice, see the couple chatting with Diane on the sofa in the distance? That's Lorna and her ex-husband David, they are both good people who are willing to help others, especially David, He sacrificed his political life for his friends, and this kind of good man deserves something in return, Tommy."

"What did this guy do? Bill, you'd better listen to your wife, stop fooling around with this guy, and pay attention to your image." Tommy couldn't help hearing Bill seriously telling him that the couple were good people worth investing in. joked.

Bill lowered his voice slightly: "David was the mayor of Miami before. He also served as the campaign manager for Boch Behe ​​when he ran for president. He had deep connections in politics and was willing to help others, but this also ruined him. When he contacted a state judge in an attempt to reduce the sentence of a senator's son, he was wiretapped by the police and was eventually arrested on charges of conspiracy to commit bribery. However, he did not betray anyone and took all the charges himself, because His political life is over, so he is getting divorced. In fact, David is Rhona's real campaign manager. Tom Chaffee, the apparent campaign manager, was David's secretary when he was mayor. He hopes that Rhona can inherit his political legacy."

"I said, Bill, Jeff was an accident. Didn't Stephen tell you about his artistic dream?" Tom took out the cigarette, lit it, and took a puff: "I didn't choose the candidate at all, it was just a game."

Bill sighed. He also knew that this young man would not treat him badly, because their relationship was much closer than it seemed to outsiders. Not to mention that Tommy provided funds for him to be active in politics, it was just the Vox and BT that Tommy currently held. Two TV networks are enough to provide him with extremely amazing communication power during his election campaign. Let’s put it this way, if the conflict between Lorna and Tommy is really irreconcilable this time, Bill will definitely choose to support Tommy and select Jack for Tommy. Hu-Raven stood on the platform, abandoning the helpful good friend he just mentioned.

But before the worst situation occurs, he must try to solve the problem as much as possible to avoid a real break.

"Stephen did say so, okay, now can you change the doll to play your game, replace Jeff with Lorna, what joy can that plumber bring to you, I'll ask Lorna and David to help you provide double ." He said with a wry smile.

Tommy and Bill clinked their glasses, drank the remaining wine, motioned to the bartender for a refill, and then said to Bill, "Give me a glass of wine and let me think about it?"

Bill patted Tommy on the shoulder, then walked away, heading towards where Rosario and David were.

"I'm sorry, Tommy." As soon as Tommy picked up the wine glass and handed it back, Hillary came over, looked at Tommy sincerely and said:

"I'm sorry to ask you to accompany Otilia, but Bill always found him very charming, and I don't think that a handwritten invitation from him will be more attractive to you than Otilia." "We cannot afford to lose such a seat, especially when Hugh, Maria and Anthony are in Miami and they need the help of David and Lorna."

Tommy took out his cigarette case and handed it to Hillary. Hillary took it in her mouth skillfully and lit it. Her smoking habit was rarely known to outsiders. This small cocktail party tonight was basically a close relationship between Bill and her in Miami. Don’t worry. Side story, so I ordered one.

"Want to hear what I say?" Tommy asked with a smile as he helped the other party get a glass of wine.

Hillary took the wine glass with the hand holding the cigarette and took a sip, looking at her husband who was taking over her at this moment and comforting Lorna and David: "Otilia and I were chatting just now, saying that she was about to end her work at KeyBank."

"So?"

Hillary turned to look at Tommy: "I can introduce you to a law professor from my alma mater, Yale Law School, to help your saintly wife start her new job from a higher starting point."

"Compared to Bill, I still like you who are more pragmatic, Diane." Tommy smiled:

"Rosario is saved, but he can only inherit Jeff's political legacy. Jeff must be elected to fulfill his dream, but don't worry, he will resign from Congress soon, because I have new arrangements for him, According to the Constitution, after Jeff resigns, the 18th District Democratic Office can recruit Rosario to replace Jeff's seat."

After Hillary heard Tommy agreeing to the matter in a relaxed manner, she did not show any expression of joy. Instead, she blew out a puff of smoke, and then took a sip of wine irritably: "He also graduated from Yale. He can actually handle it on his own. You said what I just said, but he lacks the courage to go further, why is it that I make the sacrifice for him every time."

Tommy smiled and looked at Otilia, who was walking towards him: "Because of love, Diane, look at Otilia, I am also selfless for her, this is love."

"Before love really comes to you, is there anything else you need me to convey?" Hilary smiled at Otilia and asked with a smile.

Tommy glanced at the worried brown-haired pretty girl Louise Deville next to him: "Ms. Rosario Kennedy no longer has to work hard during this period, but someone has to carry the weight behind her. Do you think I asked someone to invite that person?" What is the success rate for Ms. Deville to join Jeff’s campaign?”

"Go to hell, Tommy." Hilary cursed in a low voice, and then walked towards Otilia: "You are as good as that bastard Bill."
