Chapter 1231: The Chief of Staff's Victory
As soon as Li Mu and Wei Lan stayed in Kerry's room for a few minutes, they came out and went straight to the airport, and before they arrived at the airport, the news had already been transmitted back to the White House, and the chief of staff suddenly felt completely relieved and in a particularly comfortable mood.
Li Mu's behavior proves that his control of him and the whole thing is completely correct, and he analyzed Li Mu's attitude and chose the best and most labor-saving solution.
The other staff members and advisers around praised the chief of staff's wise decision, thinking that an emergency incident that would make everyone anxious and scrambling was solved perfectly by just making a little fuss about air traffic control.
A presidential adviser couldn't help but praise: "The chief of staff's trick is really powerful, and the whole thing was easily solved, Kerry flew all the way from Washington, but only met with Li Mu for five minutes, and now I'm afraid I'm going to die of depression!"
The chief of staff laughed and said: "Flying back and forth for seven or eight hours, just to see Li Mu for five minutes, Kerry is probably the one he hates most now." ”
As he spoke, the chief of staff said again: "By the way, you have to keep an eye on Li Mu, make sure he gets to the airport, make sure he gets on the plane, make sure he takes off, and report to me in time if there is any latest situation." ”
"Understood!"
One of them asked him: "Chief of Staff, when will we send someone to Huaxia to contact Li Mu?"
The chief of staff said: "I will report to His Excellency the President now, to see if he has any recommended candidates, the matter of going to Huaxia to meet Li Mu is more sensitive, it is not appropriate to send someone from the White House, if the president has a better candidate outside the White House system, it would be the best, go over in a private capacity, and convey his intentions on behalf of the president." ”
Subsequently, all Li Mu's movements in the United States were monitored by the White House, which was thousands of kilometers away and controlled Li Mu's every move with almost no delay.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Li Mu arrived at the airport and passed through the VIP channel for fast security;
At 6:20, Li Mu took the business car prepared by the airport for high-end business users and quickly went to the apron of the business jet;
At 6:30, Li Mu boarded the business jet he had been renting for the past few days;
At 6:40, the hatch closed and pushed out, entering the queue for take-off;
At seven o'clock, the plane took off on the runway of Los Angeles Airport and flew all the way west, arriving at Yanjing.
After Li Mu's plane took off, the White House think tanks were completely relieved, and at about the same time, Kerry came out of the hotel in Los Angeles with a lonely expression, and the CIA agent took a big close-up of his expression, and then sent it back to the White House.
After hearing about the chief of staff's handling of the crisis, President Bush greatly praised his way of operating, and in his exact words, this was an extremely wise way to solve the crisis.
The president's praise is the greatest praise and reward for the chief of staff, and then the chief of staff said his next step, saying: " Your Excellency the President, it can be seen from Li Mu's matter against the Keane family this time that Li Mu's influence in the Western world is now very large, and he has an unparalleled advantage in information dissemination, I believe that Kerry also took a fancy to this point and went thousands of miles to meet Li Mu, so I think that for the sake of insurance, we should also strive for Li Mu's support, whether it is to seek this re-election, or to seek greater development after the success of the re-election, Li Mu is a very high-quality partner!"
The president nodded approvingly, and said with a smile: "Li Mu's argument with the Kean family this time seems to have a great impact on the Kean family?"
The chief of staff nodded and said: "Paul Keane is still resisting, in order to exonerate his son, he wrote an article and published it, taking all the responsibility on himself, and also found a lobbyist in Silicon Valley to talk to Li Mu, hoping to shake hands with Li Mu, but I got the news that Li Mu has clearly rejected him." ”
The president laughed: "In terms of capital strength, after so many years of hard work, the Keane family has been able to enter the first-line family sequence except for the four major families, but now it seems that their efforts over the years are about to come to naught, offending Li Mu, causing such a big scandal, and wanting to become a member of the first-line club, it is already a fool's dream." ”
The chief of staff said approvingly: "That's right, I'm afraid the Keane family's desire to go to the next level has been dashed." ”
As he spoke, the chief of staff remembered something, and said: "By the way, Your Excellency President, I heard before that the reason why Paul Keane completely angered Li Mu was because he went to the airport to stop Li Mu's plane, and boarded the plane to coerce and lure Li Mu, but he didn't expect to provoke Li Mu. ”
The president shook his head and smiled: "Paul Keane is really not an ordinary stupid, in order to accumulate some resume capital for his son, he did not hesitate to offend Li Mu, he didn't want to think about it, Li Mu became an Internet giant in less than two years, how could such a capable person be controlled by him, if Li Mu's things were so easy to grab, Li Mu would not have today's achievements." ”
The chief of staff nodded: "Yes, it is said that he also brought a senator to pretend to be at that time, but Li Mu didn't buy it at all." ”
"Senator?" the president couldn't help but ask, "What's going on, tell me about it." ”
The chief of staff said: "Maybe he wanted to show his political strength to Li Mu, so he took a senator to stop Li Mu's plane." ”
The president's expression suddenly became much more ugly, and he blurted out: "This stupid donkey! If Li Mu attacks him for using his public power for private purposes, it will be a great blow to the reputation of our current government!"
The chief of staff said: "Li Mu did not expose the senator's matter, it should be that he also considered it." ”
The president said: "It is precisely because he has not been exposed that I scolded Paul Keane, and if Li Mu exposed this matter, I would have the heart to kill Paul Keane." ”
After that, the president said: "You go and contact the head of the Keane family directly and tell him that if Paul Keane leaks out with the senator to stop Li Mu's plane, the Keane family will be completely removed from the Republican Party, and I don't care what method he uses, I must ensure this, otherwise I can't spare him!"
"Okay. The chief of staff said, "I'll talk to Todd Keane later." ”
As the chief of staff of the entire White House, he has a very detailed understanding of the vast majority of large families in the United States, and these families can provide the money and manpower needed for the election when they are campaigning, not to mention, as far as campaign funds are concerned, they basically rely on the help of these big families, but this does not prevent the president's absolute status in these families, and there are few families that can afford to provoke the president, and they are all core members of the four major families.
The chief of staff said: "Your Excellency the President, our next cooperation with Li Mu, who do you think will be better to let go to Huaxia to communicate with him?"
The president hesitated for a moment and said, "I have a college classmate who is very suitable for this, so I'll give him a call and see if he can take a trip to China for me." ”
……
Twelve hours later, Li Mu's plane landed at Yanjing International Airport, because of the time difference, Li Mu took off at 7 p.m. local time in the sand machine, and it was 10 p.m. the next day when he landed in Yanjing.
Since the rest on the plane was not very good, after the twelve hours of the flight, everyone was a little tired, Li Mu and Wei Lan went back to the villa of Ziyun Villa together, ready to take advantage of this tiredness, hurry up and have a good rest, sleep well and get up tomorrow morning, and even don't need to fall down from jet lag.
On the way back to the villa, Li Mu said to Wei Lan with a tired face: "Tomorrow I will go to see Chen Ze and communicate with him about my uncle's affairs. ”
The first thing Li Mu did after landing was to help his father solve the problem, which made Wei Lan's heart extra warm, and she just wanted to bury her head in Li Mu's arms like a little woman who was cared for, but because of the presence of the driver and bodyguard, she just thanked him very gratefully, and then asked him: "I'll go with you, I know many details of this matter better than you." ”
Li Mu shook his head and said: "Asking people to do this kind of thing, it is best to show up who owes favors, since I want to exchange favors for this matter, then it would be better for me to go myself, otherwise if I take you to ask for help, if the other party agrees to help, he will not only feel that I owe him favors, but also feel that you also owe favors, so it is better for me to communicate with him directly face-to-face, so that after the matter is resolved, he will never think that you owe him anything." ”
Wei Lan felt that what Li Mu said made sense, if it was really Li Mu who took him to talk to the other party about his father at the dinner table or tea table, the favor that he took in on the spot was indeed two, and it was not as simple and direct as he went alone.
So Wei Lan said: "Then I'll accompany you to Shanghai, I won't go with you when I'm doing business." ”
"Okay. ”
Back to Ziyun Villa, Li Mu took a hot bath, although he was tired, but he couldn't sleep, although it had been a long time since yesterday's press conference in Hollywood, he still had the appearance of those veterans circling in his mind, he wanted to make a charity plan for veterans, but he didn't find someone who could be fully entrusted at that time, and now it's time to think about this problem.
Wei Lan, who was lying in Li Mu's arms, felt that Li Mu had not fallen asleep, looked up at his side face, and asked, "What are you thinking?"
Li Mu said: "I started thinking about one thing when I was in the United States yesterday. ”
Saying that, Li Mu said again: "I want to build a welfare project similar to the immortality of veterans, which is specially used to fund those anti-Japanese veterans who are experiencing difficulties in life across the country, what do you think?"
