An ancient looking small courtyard with simple and unadorned street lamps hung inside. A dark path led straight to a pavilion.

The pavilion was located in the center of the lotus pond. This season, the lotus flowers had yet to bloom, leaving only a clear lake.

Bamboo curtains hung around the pavilion, and a bright light could faintly be seen from inside.

"Mr. Wayne, this way please!" A man in a suit respectfully bowed and led Edwards forward.

Edwards's thin lips curled up. Looking at his surroundings, he imagined that the friend who was as warm as jade would be meeting him again, and it would be another time.

After passing through the beautiful scenery of the garden, he finally stepped into the corridor that led to the pavilion by himself. He was almost to the door when the curtain was pushed aside by a pair of men's hands. A handsome, picturesque face, with a gentle smile, looked at him.

"If I didn't understand you, I would have definitely felt that you were too poetic. But, luckily, I knew that you were a quiet person." Edwards smiled faintly and directly entered the pavilion. Under the bright light, the Mr. Vice-President that was dressed in casual attire had a face full of smiles.

Joseph was sizing up Edwards, and of course, Edwards also wanted to get to know his friends that he had not seen for a while. Time and years had tempered their faces and demeanor, and they no longer had that youthful and immature look back then, but they had become more mature and steady, and were filled with the charm of a man's self-confidence.

"Haven't you seen enough of me on TV?" Joseph smirked.

"You are not the real one on TV." Edwards unceremoniously insulted him.

"There's no other way. If I don't pretend to be profound and let others see through my thoughts, that would be scary." Joseph said while taking a cup, he poured a cup of tea that he had brewed and gave it to Edwards: "You haven't changed, you're still looking full of spirit."

"Who said that? "I've already become so old that I can't even recognize myself anymore. Back then, the person I hated the most was that old fox in the mall. But now, I've forced myself to that state step by step." Edwards laughed at himself.

"We're both the same. Back then, when my father was the President, I didn't like him either, and every day, I even went against him. But now, I want to become him." Joseph was laughing at himself. "Don't worry about it too much, you always think that your eyes are the best. You want to look down on everyone, including those strong people, after entering society, then you realize that you also want to become a strong person. The strong have no enemies, you can protect those that are important to you, and you can decide anything you want." Edwards carried the cup of tea and drank it with a smile. Joseph nodded in agreement.

"You can't blame me for not being there when you were married last time, right?" Joseph could not help but ask.

"You even didn't show up, but I've accepted your luxury gift. Since you're giving me such a expensive gift, I won't mind. Worst case scenario, I won't go when you get married!" Edwards joked. "Marry? I never thought of it, and to be honest, I'm surprised. How did you get married? It seems to be the kind of person who gets in the car first to make up the bill.

You have a pair of beautiful phoenix fetus, I really don't know if I should be envious or jealous of you. "Although Joseph did not interact with him often, Joseph would always pay attention to any rumors and rumors about him.

"Whatever. You will also get married and have children. This is something that every man will experience. I am just a step ahead of you." When his wife and children were mentioned, Edwards's face was full of gentleness.

"I won't consider getting married and having children right now. I just want to snatch my father's position and give him an explanation. Before he leaves, he shook my hand and asked for my guarantee." Joseph smiled bitterly as he shook his head, looking like he had no interest in getting married and having children.

"A year ago, my thoughts were the same as yours: getting married and having a child would be even more troublesome, but now, I've changed my mind. You might not know that when you return home tired after working for the entire day, there will be people concerned about you. As a father now, Edwards was getting more and more emotional when talking about this things.

"Maybe, when I have made a name for myself, I will be like you, trying to build a family, having one child and one daughter. When I am free, I will take my family out to play and relax my mind. But not everyone is lucky to have it. " Joseph self-deprecatingly lowered his head, his eyes staring blankly for a moment.

Edwards knew that he was definitely thinking about his late father again. He could only change the topic and change the topic to work.

His father was the former President, and should have been the one to succeed the position of President. Unfortunately, before the succession, a major event happened, causing the succession to fail. Joseph lost his position as President, became the subordinate and took on the role of a deputy.

However, Joseph's family had always been unwilling. They pushed Joseph to snatch the position of president back, and thus, a political war broke out.

Joseph had the halo of his father, the momentum of this election was very strong, it was already a huge threat to the current party. On the surface, it was calm, but the waves of darkness had already spread throughout the entire country.

Edwards could now be considered the strongest supporter of Joseph. His wealth and influence the Family was enough to reshuffle the entire country's politics and economy.

The two of them chatted as they ate, from politics to economics. In the blink of an eye, it was already past ten in the evening.

Since he didn't have enough, he could only bid farewell for now.

"If you have the chance in the future, introduce me to your wife and your two adroble children." Joseph said with a sincere face.

"Alright, after you succeed in the election, we will have a lot of chances to meet. At that time, I might even introduce you to a girlfriend!" Edwards joked.

"Alright, all the women you know will surely be outstanding. I'll look forward to it!" Joseph nodded with a humorous smile, and agreed.

"You have such high standards, I'm afraid no woman would be able to meet your standards!" Edwards laughed.

"My mom might want me to marry a woman. I'm thinking about this right now!" Joseph's handsome face was filled with helplessness.
