In the mobile manor in York State, the governor held a Crystal Goblet containing a bottle of wine worth over a thousand dollars. His face was slightly flushed; he had already been drinking for a while.
Drinking some alcohol in winter could warm the body and help with sleep.
He had been watching the final vote count, watching all the way until Mr. President won the election.
The next two years were practically secured. He could even seek another term! That was the benefit politicians gained when their party produced a president. The people would naturally gravitate toward governors from the "President's Faction," rather than governors from the Conservative Party.
This way of thinking was perfectly normal. Ordinary people did not understand how complicated Federal politics was. When faced with certain problems, they simply believed that "their own people" would be more reliable.
His sons, nephews, and several siblings were all sitting around him. The presidential election was also critically important to the governor's family.
Everyone wore relaxed smiles, and some of the younger people even suggested going out to have some fun.
The governor took a sip of wine and set the glass on the low table beside him. He raised his hand, and the family members' chatter in the room immediately fell silent.
Whether they were his juniors, his peers, or even uncles, aunts, and elderly relatives of his grandparents' generation, they all stopped and looked at him.
The entire family revolved around the governor. He was the true authority in the family.
He pursed his lips. After licking away some wine left on them, he said, "Tomorrow, make some arrangements. Set up Flower Cars in every city and organize celebrations for Mr. President's victory. Make it lively. The Television Station needs to report on it too..."
