The cabbages were divided into two groups. One group consisted of cabbages, Goudan, Alice, and old Joseph returning to Houston to try to recruit cutting-edge biologists to join them…

The other group consisted of Dogdad and liver emperor trying to contact the existing developers in the base to see if they could directly recruit a high-level developer player to join them.

Although the latter was more ideal, the situation that they could recruit was actually not optimistic.

The reason was very simple… … the shares of the little cabbages were distributed too much at the beginning. …

At the beginning, little cabbages generously distributed 30% of the shares to the liver emperor. Although the liver emperor felt embarrassed to take the initiative to reduce 10% , it still took up 20% of the shares. Wang Goudan, Alice, and old Joseph all had 10% .

Now, if little cabbage wanted to remain the largest shareholder, he had to have at least 30% of the shares. In other words, he could only take out 10% of the shares in the future…

After realizing this, little cabbage realized that it seemed like he had been too eager to recruit people previously, as if he had promised too much. However, since the contract had been signed, he naturally could not go back on his word.

Recruiting new people was not a big problem. With this condition, even if the shares were 0.1, presumably, smart people would still know how to choose.

However, recruiting insiders was obviously not enough, especially for the current developers in the base.

In fact, many developers knew that after the opening of a private lord, it was less likely for research players like them to become private lords. Normally, they would have to cooperate with warriors. However, as top-notch talents, they.., how could they agree to join the cabbages with only 10% of the shares?

Although the value of developers had not exploded yet, and many players did not care, these developers were not stupid. They knew their value, and they did not panic. They were all waiting for the players to come after them.

Therefore, dog dad himself knew that the possibility of him convincing a developer player to join was very low…

On the other side, old Joseph contacted the police station as soon as he returned, and he immediately refuted the rumors of his kidnapping at a press conference.

It had been three days since Old Joseph returned from the New World. The news of his sudden disappearance had caused a stir in the news. Knowing that it was not convenient to cause panic, he immediately refuted the rumors and emphasized that he had not been kidnapped.

The local police had even come to investigate. Even his partner had come to persuade him that he had been kidnapped. This would be the greatest blow to Morey.

However, what they did not expect was that old Joseph had told them that he was withdrawing from the election… …

This made the people in his behind-the-scenes team extremely puzzled!

“Why is that, Joseph? “You have such a huge advantage now. The votes of the districts are good. As long as you don’t make mistakes, Morey will not be re-elected. Many people in Houston Miss You, the old mayor. Don’t you want to return to that position?”

The one who asked was John, the lead lawyer of the behind-the-scenes team of Old Joseph. He looked at Old Joseph with great confusion.

Most of the staff of the behind-the-scenes team were also puzzled. Some people even wondered if old Joseph was a relative who had been kidnapped. However, John knew that old Joseph did not have any relatives…

He had a bad lifestyle in his early years. In addition, his work required him to sit for a long time. His prostate had long been removed. Later, when he found out that his son was a wife and a secretary, he directly divorced. Since then, old Joseph had never had a second wife… …

And Old Joseph’s parents had passed away as early as the third year after he became the mayor…

Faced with John’s puzzled question, Old Joseph smiled and shook his head. His expression was a little complicated. To be honest, he did not think that life would be so wonderful. Perhaps these people could not think of the things that he had experienced in the past two days even if they racked their brains?

Thinking of this, he did not explain further. He shook his head and sighed. “It’s nothing. I just suddenly feel… unable to do what I want to do. I feel… that there’s no more meaning…”

“No more meaning?”Faced with this reason, John only felt an evil fire rise in his heart. “We have worked so hard for so long and helped you do so many things. Are you going to answer me with this kind of reason?”

Faced with John’s anger, a trace of guilt rose in Old Joseph’s heart. He had failed the last time he was re-elected, and everyone thought that he had come to the end. The people who had helped him had all left, only John thought highly of himself and thought that he could make a comeback.

In the past three years, he had diligently helped him collect data and prepare for the election. This time, he had put in a lot of effort to pressure Morey.

John’s foresight and decisiveness were not bad, but unfortunately, his luck was a little bad… …

“I’ll give you an explanation…”old Joseph patted his shoulder and smiled. “But I won’t change my mind!”

John looked at the old man’s eyes and suddenly felt powerless. He had worked with old Joseph for four years, and he knew that the old man’s eyes were not a joke… …

After coming out of the temporary fundraising office, Old Joseph quickened his pace, and the feeling of weakness and powerlessness once again enveloped his entire body.

If he had not returned for an important matter, he would not have wanted to stay here for even a minute. The poor air was filled with exhaust fumes, and his body was so weak that he would be panting and sweating after taking a few steps. He really didn’t want to prolong his days for even a second longer…

After this matter was over, he would abandon his body, and he would never have to see his old and ugly appearance again…

“Is that the John you mentioned?”Alice asked curiously.

Old Joseph nodded and glanced at Alice. This woman was very wary of him, and she knew his background very well.

“How are you going to explain it to him?”Alice smiled.

Beside him, little cabbage also looked over curiously.

“This is a very good young man. His ability is very strong. I will recommend him to Morey. I believe that he will be willing to accept him. With Morey as a political resource, with his ability, I believe that he will do well in the future…”

“Oh…”Bai cai nodded and asked, “Why didn’t you consider bringing him to us? Didn’t you say that he is very capable? Moreover, you are very familiar with him.”

Joseph shook his head. “His performance-to-price ratio is not as good as a scientific researcher being useful to us…”

“Uh…”Bai Cai was stunned for a moment. Then, he smiled and said, “Actually, we also need a legal person to establish some judicial system…”

“I can do that too…”

“You also study law?”Bai Cai asked in surprise.

Joseph smiled and said, “In North America, 70% of politicians are born as lawyers…”

Bai Cai’s eyes twitched when he heard that. In China, persuading people to study law and medicine were both lightning strikes, but in foreign countries, these two fields were quite high and mighty…

“I thought you would try to get him to join us because of guilt…”alice smiled and said, “After all, he helped you for so many years when you were at your most powerless…”

Old Joseph paused for a moment and said calmly, “Favors are favors, benefits are benefits…”

“AH…”Alice narrowed her eyes when she heard that. “You really have the face of an old politician…”
