Episode 8

Frank spent four years of his life full of challenges and opportunities at Santino Military Academy, the best military school in South Carolina.This academy not only taught him military skills, but also allowed him to experience the ups and downs of life.Recently, Frank was invited to attend the inauguration ceremony of the library of his alma mater. This was also a rare opportunity for him to return to campus.

Thinking back to his days at school, Frank couldn't help but feel emotional.He was almost expelled for volunteering for a Senate campaign, which affected his studies.However, it was this experience that strengthened his political ideals.Today, he has become an influential politician and donated a large sum of money to the school to build a library.The library will be named after Frank, witnessing his transformation from student to politician.

At the school dinner, Frank accidentally met Remy Denton, a representative of Sanko Company.Sancor has a pivotal position in the natural gas business, but the Pennsylvania Basin Act advocated by Peter Russell has had a big impact on Sancor's mining operations in the state.Remy came here to seek help from Frank, hoping that he could change his mind.However, Frank did not respond directly, but just excused himself by saying that he would not discuss official matters during the recess.

After the dinner, Frank went on an adventure with his three best friends from that year and entered the closed old library.They couldn't help but sigh with emotion as they recalled every bit of the past.At the same time, Carlisle, who was alone, could only chat with Adam on the phone to relieve his worries.Peter was preparing for his first battle in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, lobbying unemployed shipyard workers to support his new bill.His lobbying was not going well. Not only was his mother unwilling to talk to Peter, but his former friend Paul was also not interested in his new bill.

Frustrated, Peter returns to his childhood house and unexpectedly sees Christina.With Christina's support and comfort, Peter resolves to give it a go at a community meeting the next day.In the morning, Peter reviewed the key contents of the speech with Christina's help.At the conference, however, Peter's watershed bill received a lukewarm response from unemployed shipyard workers.They are more concerned about immediate livelihood issues than long-term planning two or three years from now.Faced with everyone's doubts and protests, Peter was temporarily in trouble.

At the same time, Frank, who had been fooling around in the library all night, was woken up by Carlisle's phone call.He hurriedly woke up the others and returned to the hotel to take a rest before attending the opening ceremony of the school library.During the ceremony, Frank's impromptu speech received a round of applause, but Carlisle heard that Frank had other things on his mind, but he was unwilling to tell outsiders.

After Peter won the first battle, he took Christina to visit his mother who lived in a nursing home.Although my mother is still reluctant to talk more, her attitude has improved.Before leaving, Peter used a strong attitude to ask the staff who had been lazy to replace the light tubes in his mother's house.Now he is full of confidence and full of expectations for the future.

After the ceremony, Frank said goodbye to everyone one by one.Looking at his name on the library, Frank wondered whether this building would be replaced by other buildings many years later, and whether the power in his hands would suffer the same fate as it.
