The hardwood door of the study opened and closed suddenly.

Colin breathed a sigh of relief, and then raised his hand to greet his father and brother who were staring at him, "Hey, what are you talking about?

"Mother's mouth is getting worse and stronger, and I hope Dora and Dorothy will hold on. ”

Colin said as he took off the coat he was still wearing for shelter.

Evan smiled lightly and said, "Mother's anger hasn't subsided, my sisters are so pitiful." ”

"You guys...... As an elder brother, shouldn't you protect your sister?" Earl shook his head.

"No!" the brothers said in unison.

"Why?"

They looked at each other and smiled, and Evan gestured to his brother with a "you come", and Colin didn't give in, "Because Mother can't be wrong." ”

The corners of Earl's mouth curled slightly, and he sighed helplessly, then remembered something, and asked casually, "Where have you been today?" How do you feel about that Patricia?"

Hearing this, Evan immediately showed an expression of enthusiastic crowd onlookers.

Colin sat down in the chair next to Evan, loosened his tie, and said, "We didn't go anywhere, we just had a meal together and walked outside. ”

Colin said something casually, then changed the subject, "By the way, you two haven't said what you were talking about?"

Evan keenly noticed that Colin was not the kind of person who was not interested in avoiding it, but had a feeling of hiding it in front of his parents. He and his father looked at each other, and that look told Evan that Earl seemed to have a similar opinion.

"It looks like there's a spark coming out of the rubbing.

Let's talk about Colin first. ”

The father and son unexpectedly had a tacit understanding, and they reached an agreement between the silent lightning. Evan followed Colin's wishes, didn't chase his appointment, and said, "We were just commenting on the gentlemen at 1600 Northwest Avenue in Pennsylvania (i.e., the Capitol), by the way, Colin, you've been there, and you can tell me how popular our former congressman and current Senator Mr. Nixon is in the building?"

Colin looked at Evan with a look of surprise, "Evan, I'm surprised that you're starting to care about these things. ”

"Sure enough, after graduating from college, it's different. ”

Evan shrugged, pointed out the door, and said, "Don't get me wrong, Colin, we're just ...... Nothing to do. ”

Colin smiled knowingly and said, "I didn't get me wrong, politics and business are inseparable, and it doesn't hurt to know more." ”

"Speaking of Mr. Nixon, the 'cunning Dick' (nickname Nixon was given after winning the Senate race) was very supportive of conservatives because of his 'opposition'. ”

"He seems to have a good relationship with Mr. Joe Mak......"

I don't know if it's to avoid being asked about the progress of today's date, or if I think it's rare for the father and son to get together to talk about this kind of topic, as soon as Colin opens his mouth, it's like a dam that opens the floodgates, chattering non-stop, regardless of whether there is or not.

Saying this, before I knew it, it was dark.

After dinner, Colin seemed to be unsatisfied, and pulled his father to talk again. This time, Evan was not in the mood for this, so he did not participate.

At around eleven o'clock in the evening, Colin yawned and returned to the bedroom shared by his brothers, and found that Evan had not yet fallen asleep, although he was already lying under the covers.

"Why don't you sleep yet?"

Colin knew that Evan usually had a regular schedule, and that he would have fallen asleep at this point unless he had to.

Evan propped up his upper body, leaned against the head of the bed with a soft pillow on his back, and said, "You leave tomorrow, I have to tell you about the progress of the Four Seasons project." ”

"Uh......" Colin sat on the edge of his bed, and was about to say that there was no need to do more, when he had communicated with Higgins and them, he reacted that what Evan himself introduced was completely different from what he had heard from elsewhere.

At least, someone else might have lied to him, but Evan didn't have to do that at all.

"You say, I'll listen. ”

"This project is going well, and your friend Paul Higgins is quite capable......"

Evan began with a list of information that he thought Colin needed to know. Although he didn't have any written materials on hand, but he had an excellent memory, Evan said that the figures on the project report submitted by Silver Mountain Capital were not far behind.

The Four Seasons Hotel is divided into two branches, Motel and Hotel, and the current business is mainly developed by the former. Under the auspices of Paul Higgins, the first Four Seasons Motel opened in September. Subsequently, the Four Seasons Hotel team took this as the foundation, while summarizing the operation experience, while improving the service content, and at the same time, with the financial support provided by Silver Mountain, actively purchased suitable locations and even real estate as reserves. Paul Higgins is a cautious man, and the first Four Seasons Motel performed well, but he still postponed the opening of the second hotel until the team polished the quality of the Four Seasons Motel, from the quality of service to the decoration style to the staff training system, before approving the start of the preparation of the second hotel.

By the time the second Four Seasons Motel opened, Christmas was barely weeks away.

There are not many people traveling by car during the Christmas season because of the temperature, but this hotel has a full opening because of the location.

This result made Silver Mountain Capital once again raise its evaluation of Paul Higgins.

The motel business here is in order, and the hotel business over there has not been forgotten. Evan once told Colin that the area around the airport was suitable for opening a hotel, and Colin himself was too busy with his studies and internships to take care of anything else, so he relayed Evan's suggestion to Paul Higgins. When Paul found out, he found it reasonable and used some of the money that had been used for East Coast development to buy a building near the Los Angeles airport. It will be the No. 1 store of the Four Seasons Hotel.

In this regard, although Colin, who is the head of the hotel business, is a little embarrassed, he does not feel that there is anything wrong.

Seeing this, Evan had to remind: "Colin, it is very taboo to work together and not to work. ”

"If you don't want to do this, I advise you to quit the company as soon as possible, and it's better to be an investor. ”

Colin pondered for a moment, then nodded.

The next afternoon, Colin left home.

A woman was on the same train that Colin was riding at the same time.

The second to say goodbye to his parents and leave home was Evan.

Instead of going straight back to Los Angeles, he took a detour to San Francisco and then Highway 1 back to Los Angeles.

I did this just to experience the service of the Four Seasons Motel and to be a messenger for Colin by the way.

When Colin enters politics, he will most likely follow Earle's old path, starting as a prosecutor, and all he needs to do now is accumulate experience, knowledge and connections.

Putting energy into money is neither necessary nor a waste of time.
