Chapter 11 The results of the secret conversation between father and son

After listening to my son.

Alexander's first reaction was that this boy was doing business in New York and had lost a lot of money.

Why do they come home and ask about the family's wealth?

After asking clearly,

Please help yourself too.

While Alexander was speculating, he heard his son say:

"Dad. I've been in New York for ten months and I'm in Manhattan all the time."

"I make a lot of money, I'm afraid you don't know how much money I have."

"Let's put it this way. The amount of money I have earned in the past ten months.

Equal to him, plus my grandfather and great-grandfather, the lifetime earnings are ten times greater. "

What was said before,

Alexander could still listen. Later, I heard my son say that in New York he earned ten times more money than his grandparents and grandchildren earned in ten months.

Even though he was stunned, Alexandre still couldn't help but stand up:

"Son, boasting is not a good habit, you didn't like to brag before.

伱 The thing I hated the most before was also "Boss Johnson" next to me. "

"I didn't expect you to come to New York and encounter this problem!"

"Boss Johnson" owns a farm next door.

Texans, especially those who operate farms and ranches, or who simply call themselves Texas farmers.

I especially like giving people nicknames.

Taking a nickname is also very direct and crude, being a first or last name, plus a meaning.

Abel laughed and said: "How can you trust me?

"I believe."

To his great surprise, Alexander's reaction was very direct. "Because you are my son, because you don't have to lie to me."

Abel was not surprised or surprised by this answer.

"Tell me. You say you want me to help you, but how do you really want me to help you." Alexander looked at his son seriously.

In fact, Alexander still doesn't believe his son made that much money in New York.

But its logic is very simple. He is the father and Abel is his son.

A father will always help his son.

These are its simple values.

Looking into Alexander's steady eyes, Abel took a deep breath.

Then he expressed his thoughts to Alexander. after an hour.

Alexander looked shocked and sounded confused.

"It's absolutely not my concern. It's hard for me to do things like this," he said.

Abel's answer was:

"Help me, Father. I just trust you for that."

"And it doesn't necessarily work."

Alexander remained silent.

His son's plan was too exaggerated and he really didn't like it.

Until now,

He still didn't believe what his son said.

But if what the son said is true then it seems to be so.

In this country, the son really needs such help. Don't look at Alexander Smith, he looks like a Texas roughneck.

But he was one of the best students at Rice University.

Although he was able to get into Rice University, it was thanks to his father's letter of recommendation.

Like Abel.

But at school he also learned something. So he's different from the average farmer in Texas. He knew what his son said and it could be done.

The premise is that boys have actually reached this point.

I can also get there smoothly.

"Like you said. This probably won't work. But." Alexander said:

"Because you are my son, I am willing to help you."

"Thank you, Alexander." Abel spoke sincerely for the first time. He stood up and hugged the man tightly like a bear.

"Well. I don't guarantee success." Here is Alexander's answer. Secret conversation between father and son

also ends here.

After the conversation, Alexandre walked a bit heavily.

Close the door to the safe house, watch your son leave, then go back to sleep in your son's room.

Alexandre then entered his room, the room was very large and even had a small living room outside.

The living room has a sofa and TV. In the living room, Emily is watching TV in her pajamas.

Seeing her husband return, she quickly stood up.

"Is the discussion over yet?" What are you talking about, can't even I hear it?

Emily stepped forward, squeezed her husband's arm and spoke.

Alexandre smiled gently at his wife and said:

"Honey, it looks like we've got a great guy."

Emilie: "????"

"Your son told me a very exaggerated plan. I think this plan has no chance of success."

Alexander said:

"But after all, he is my son, so I will try."

"What's going on? What's the plan, why can't it be possible?" Emily asked curiously.

Alexander happily did not answer directly but asked his wife to help him drain the water and prepare clothes for bathing.

After getting ready, he went to take a shower.

Emily thoughtfully stepped in to rub his back. Alexandre seems to be very happy, lying in the bathtub, closing his eyes.

Emily didn't speak, and neither did he.

Husband and wife enjoy the peace between husband and wife.

Alexander's voice finally broke the silence.

"My darling. District Chief Tarrant Randy has been here for eight years, right?

Hearing her husband's sudden voice, Emily was very surprised.

In the United States, a county is a second-level administrative unit, above which the first-level administrative unit is the state.

Below the district are towns and villages, below that are the districts.

The state has a governor, but the county previously had no chief executive.

Previously, legislative and executive powers were usually exercised by district administrative officers committees or governance committees. This model has worked well in the past.

But with the development of the economy and population, this model is increasingly outdated.

Thus, over the past 10 years, in order to overcome the overlap, wastefulness and ineffectiveness of this form of administration.

State legislatures began filling county executive positions.

That means district. Randin is Tarrant County's chief administrative officer. He was re-elected for two terms and held this position for 8 years.

Different from General.

The United States Constitution does not provide that a county executive cannot be re-elected to two consecutive terms.

So if you have the ability,

The chief executives of more than 3,000 counties in the United States, many were even re-elected to death!

Emily wondered why her husband suddenly asked this question. "Yes. He's served two consecutive terms. He's running for a third term now," Emily said.

This year is an election year.

Generally speaking,

America has an election year every two years. One is the general election and the other is the midterm election.

The three levels of administrative units, state, county and city, were also kept in place during these two election years.

As in Tarrant County, the election year coincides with the general election year.

It's just a matter of time, it will be a little later.

The Grand Commander will decide the winner at the end of November, and the ministerial election will decide the winner at the end of December. It's August and the Tarrant County election is about to begin.
