Martin hurriedly pushed open the door to Tommy's office and plunged into Tommy's office, Tommy was sitting behind his desk looking through a document in his hand, while Louise Deville was standing slightly behind Tommy, her chest pressed against Tommy's arm, and her fingers swiping across the papers, as if helping Tommy point out a few words to look out for.

"The Cuban woman from the Republican Party has made a move, and she's running in the party primaries today, so she's going to use Jeff, who was bright enough on TV yesterday, as a stepping stone to give her own TV appearance some impression points." Martin tried to ignore Louise's posture and walked over to Tommy's desk and spoke.

Tommy dropped the information on the table: "I'm still thinking about how to move forward and from which angle to roll out the spread of AIDS in Florida to Cuban smugglers." ”

"That was three minutes ago, boss, and now it's a multi-community eruption......," Martin said of what he had just received when he heard Tommy still figuring out how to throw dirt on Cuban stowaways.

"Veterans, homeless people, under the banner of being influenced by Jeff Lavin, beat Cubans." Tommy said, "Louise just told me about it. ”

Martin took the opportunity to sit down in his seat and glanced at Louise: "Hey, girl, it's an important meeting of the senior management of Hart Consulting, don't you think you should avoid it when you are in the rookie inspection period?" ”

"I'll just say, if you keep a cold face on him, he will definitely target you." Tommy gentleman pulled his arm out of Louise's pectorals and teased: "Martin is a simple big boy, love and hate, by the way, when we go out, let the administration help us bring two cups of coffee, if you go to prepare it yourself, maybe Martin and I will be even more moved." ”

Louise stood up and walked out of the office, waiting for the woman to leave, Martin lay on the desk, his chin against the table: "Boss, we were framed, Jeff and I definitely didn't let those veterans ...... Do those things. ”

"You and Jeff have framed others, others can naturally frame you, you can't ask this world only you can be unscrupulous." Tommy leaned back and rested his feet on the table, just in time for Martin to show his shoes with that deadly expression.

"Jeff hasn't done anything like that, and we can't get Jeff to admit that he has anything to do with those veterans in this matter, but...... No matter how you cut it, it may make the veteran group ...... There was some resentment towards Jeff. Martin lifted his head off the table and said with a bit of a headache.

During this time, life as Jeff's campaign manager was so smooth that Martin felt that the election was secured, and even when Tommy went to deal with the messy sects and left him to deal with all the chores of Jeff's campaign, he felt that he was in good order, and even before today, he felt that he was doing his job as a campaign manager, that he was born to do this kind of work, and that he was about to be on the Miami Post news page and that he was about to become a real big man.

Until the news of the damned veteran beating Cubans broke.

When he heard the news, he suddenly realized that his brain was not like Tommy, who could come up with various solutions to emergencies at any time, he was just a miller, he didn't have the ability to decide how much flour to grind, and he always needed Tommy to tell him how many guests had come to the manor, how much bread needed to be prepared in the kitchen, and how much flour he Martin Hart needed to provide.

He couldn't think of any follow-up solution other than to understand that Jeff couldn't be allowed to have anything to do with the veteran beating Cubans.

But he knew that if there was anyone in Miami who could think of a solution at this time, it would be his boss Tommy.

"You know denying Jeff's relationship with those veterans will make the veteran community unhappy with Jeff, but are you still prepared to do it?" Tommy couldn't understand Martin's thoughts, he picked up a mint candy and put it in his mouth and said, "Why did you make this decision if you didn't think you should do it?" ”

Martin looked at Tommy, not understanding why the boss didn't understand his thoughts, he spread his hands weakly: "Deliberately hurt others, boss, a group of drunkards who used to be soldiers, poisonous insects, homeless people, beat Cubans in front of the eyes of everyone on the street, of course it is impossible for Jeff to have anything to do with this kind of thing, I don't say the reaction of the white people, it's just the black community, if Jeff doesn't cut off the relationship with these old bastards, I'm afraid the black people won't consider voting for him." ”

"You think it's Ilyana-Letty, that Republican woman." Tommy's mint plastic wrappers clumped into a small ball and bounced towards the decorative paintings on the walls.

It was a fake decorative painting, a classic by Picasso, The Woman of Algiers.

Tommy was a little sorry.

Martin glanced at the decorative painting, he did not understand what the name of the painting had to do with the content of the painting, and even he thought that there were normal human beings on it, and said in an affirmative tone:

"Who else could it be? Today was the woman's party primary, and the veteran was beating Cubans outside the TV station, and I can now guess what the woman would say, and she would take the opportunity to rally all Cubans under her banner. ”

"What do you think will happen to Jeff if he doesn't take care of this?" Tommy did not dismiss his opinion, but continued to ask questions in an indifferent tone.

Martin spat out turbidity: "The election failed. ”

"The first thing you think of me when you encounter this kind of thing is because you think I'm a little clever, right?" Tommy smiled and looked at Martin.

Martin rubbed his face vigorously: "It's not just cleverness, Boss, now is not the time for you to show modesty, just the two of us, what should we do?" ”

"What do you see in that painting?" Tommy asked, pointing to the decorative painting on the wall.

Martin joked absentmindedly: "Humanity was contaminated by nuclear bombing after atomic bombing? ”

"There's also one hanging in your room, another version of the same work, and I'm guessing you've never really admired it." Tommy smiled and said, "Otilia told me that to appreciate Picasso's paintings, you have to look at them from multiple angles, three-dimensional, perspective, and deconstruction. Actually, I want to say that my girlfriend can use three-dimensional, perspective, structure and other methods to appreciate a painting, if she knows how to observe politics in the same way, how good, then she is really a perfect angel, so, you have to learn to think from multiple angles, Martin, if Jeff doesn't solve this matter perfectly, how can the end be so easy to lose the election? ”

"Isn't it?" Hearing what Tommy was serious, Martin turned his head to look at the painting again, and retracted his gaze after observing it for a few seconds: "I still stick to my opinion, I think Otilia likes this painting, probably because it is an ugly woman on it, she doesn't have to worry about you doing something to this painting, Boss." ”

Tommy cleared his voice: "You think too kindly of politicians, Martin, let's put it this way, if Jeff doesn't get this done, he will be suspended from the party and all activities in the party by the Democratic Party office on the grounds of egregious racial discrimination, that is, even if he gets the first place in the primary party, it won't help, because the Democrats won't let him continue to run on behalf of the Democratic Party, if Jeff quits the Democratic Party in anger and runs as an independent individual, without the support of the Democrats, How many votes can be snatched from Rhona of the Democratic Party and Ileana Letty of the Republican Party? There are 100,000 people in this district, and there are nearly 50,000 people from both parties, and more than half of the remaining half of the ordinary voters who are not members of the two parties are Cubans. ”

"So I can't admit that this matter is related to Jeff, and I will immediately explain it clearly." Martin emphasized.

Tommy pulled his feet down and sat up straight: "Before you came in, I had already called the staff around Page and Jeff to do some preparations. ”

Martin breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Tommy had arranged for Jeff to hold a press conference to complete the cut with the veterans, denying that he had any connection with the veterans in this matter, and at this moment he finally had a smile on his face:

"How to prepare a speech and make it as ...... as possible"

"What speech?" Tommy asked, looking at Martin suspiciously.

Martin also glared at Tommy suspiciously: "The speech of the press conference." ”

"I didn't say I was going to have a press conference." Tommy spread his hands.

The relaxed smile on Martin's face immediately disappeared: "But you just told me that you called the staff around Page and Jeff to ask them to do some preparations. ”

"Jessica was scared by the Cubans arranged by Page, and was injured in a traffic accident and hospitalized, and Jeff and the staff generously went to the police station to get some applications for some public welfare activities to interact with the veterans." Tommy looked at Martin innocently, "I didn't say I would hold a press conference. ”

A drop of cold sweat oozed from Martin's forehead: "The veterans just beat the Cubans, and you asked Jeff to rally with them?" Boss, are you going to have Jeff lead the veterans in a special military operation to drive all the Cubans in the 18th district back to Cuba? ”

"You don't need to drive Cubans into the sea, but you have to understand one thing, you better really do it when your Republican opponents and your Democratic opponents accuse you of inciting veterans to discriminate against Cubans." Tommy said to Martin:

"Otherwise, when they realize that you don't have enough control over the veteran community, you're dead."
