Chapter 499: Oscar's Invitation

……

Guo Shouyun, who inadvertently turned his head, happened to see the envious look on Wang Jue's face who was standing on the side.

"Why, you want to be a strong woman like Rebecca?"

"Of course!" After subconsciously agreeing, Wang Jue, who reacted, hurriedly shook his head, "Boss, I didn't...!"

After waving her hand, he interrupted, "No denial, I didn't mean to blame you. Actually, I wish you had that ambition. … Wang Jue, we have been together for a long time. Through the observation during this time, you are indeed a very good managerial talent. But if you want to be the CEO of a company, you don't have the experience right now. So, I want you to stay with me for a few more years, and when you feel mature enough, I'll give you a chance to be on your own. ”

Secretaries or assistants, because they have been with their bosses for a longer time, can not only understand the intentions of their bosses more deeply, but also have a closer relationship than ordinary employees, and have always been the best candidates for leaders to cultivate cronies. The same psychology, Guo Shouyun is no exception.

"Thank you, boss!"

Guo Shouyun nodded, "Go and inform us, we're ready to leave!"

"Yes!"

After Wang Jue went out, he picked up the phone and called George Roosevelt, which rang for a while before the latter answered.

"Hey, where are you?"

"Waldorf Astoria, but why did you call me on your own initiative?"

Listening to the indescribable murmur of the woman on the other side, Guo Shouyun frowned. But he didn't ask much.

"I'm done in Boston, I'll leave in the afternoon, and don't be late if you're going to be along. ”

"You're going back to New York?"

"No, I've taken care of New York. I'll stay in Chicago for a few days and then head back to San Francisco!"

"Forget it, I'll go straight back to Los Angeles, I can't take your private jet, it's a pity!"

"That's it, I'll hang up first!"

"Wait, someone asked me to send you something!"

"What?" Guo Shouyun said, raising his eyebrows.

"Invitation to the 75th Academy Awards!" (The plot needs to postpone the holding time to a certain extent.) ）

"Why don't you just give it to me, and instead go to you?"

"You're notoriously hard to invite, and those old-fashioned and good-looking guys at the film school. In order to avoid the embarrassment of your refusal, I was asked to hand it over!"

"Okay, you can send it to me." ”

"You promised?"

"The Clippers made it to the finals, and I'm going to Los Angeles to watch it. It just so happens that the Oscars are in front of us, so let's stop by!"

"Clippers? I forgot you had an NBA team under your command. ”

"What do you remember besides women?"

"Hey, hey, and all sorts of dollars. … Bruce, we're still young, and if we don't play more while we're still in the prime of life, do we have to wait until we retire to enjoy life? I'm afraid that you won't be able to play if you want to. Earn so much money, don't live up to life!"

The Tao is different, and it is not conspiratory. Guo Shouyun's concept of 'career-oriented, life including women is just a dispensing'. It is completely contrary to George Roosevelt's concept of "life is the main thing, and career is only the basis for living a good life".

This is also related to the growth environment of both parties, Guo Shouyun in his previous life tasted the hardships of life, and his career success has an unparalleled attraction to him. George Roosevelt was born with a golden key, not only had a top family to rely on, but also had no worries about food and clothing since he was a child, and no matter how hard he struggled, he could not surpass his great-grandfather's achievements and push the Roosevelt family to a higher peak. Therefore, enjoying life has become the most suitable choice for him.

"You've said the same thing to me more than once, and I'm annoyed if you're not annoyed. Okay, I'll hang up first. See you next time in Los Angeles!"

"OK, goodbye Los Angeles. ”

After hanging up the phone, Guo Shouyun called Lawrence Summers again to inform the other party of the news that he was about to leave, and received an invitation to the Oscars sent by George Roosevelt's bodyguards in the afternoon, and took his Kunpeng to Chicago, which had not arrived for a long time.

"Godfather!"

As soon as Guo Shouyun entered the door, Sasha, who was almost three years old, had already rushed over in front of his sister Maria.

picked up the little guy, took the small Nemo doll he had prepared in advance from Deng Feng in the back and handed it over.

"Godfather's gift, see if you like it or not!"

"Sasha loves Nemo!"

With the release of the first part of Pixar's "Finding Nemo", after receiving an astonishing $867 million at the global box office, Nemo, the clownfish, has naturally become the favorite cartoon character of American children.

"Uncle Guo, where's my gift?"

"Of course I can't forget you!" touched the little head of the six-year-old Maria, and handed over another gift box.

“iPad mini！”

With his suggestion, Apple's iPad mini was launched half a year earlier than the previous life, and the performance and human-computer interaction were also better than the previous life.

"Bruce, this gift is too expensive for Maria!"

"Michelle, I'm the boss of Apple, I can get it at cost. Also, I haven't seen Mary for a long time, so I always have to bring something decent. Otherwise, she wouldn't recognize me as an uncle!"

"I know I can't talk about you. ”

beckoned Guo Shouyun into the living room, "Hasn't Barack come back yet?"

"He's a new official, and he's been busy lately. But it's coming back soon!"

As he spoke, Michelle poured a glass of water and put it in front of Guo Shouyun.

"Thank you!"

"I almost forgot, you wait a minute!"

Michelle, who seemed to think of something, hurriedly went upstairs and came down with a stack of papers.

Here's a breakdown of the donations received by the Bruce Charitable Foundation last month, as well as the use of the charitable fund. Originally, I wanted to fax it to you, but since you're here now, let's take a look. ”

Guo Shouyun flipped through it briefly, and without looking at the detailed content, he changed it to her.

"You don't look?"

"Michelle, I don't have to look at me to know that you take good care of the Bruce Charitable Foundation. ”

"Bruce, I think you should finish it. Our personal feelings should not be involved in specific work. It's good for you, for me, and for the Blues Charitable Foundation. ”

Looking at her serious expression, Guo Shouyun, who had a certain understanding of her character, nodded.

"Alright then, I'll take this information back and read it. ”

Hearing this, Michelle's expression softened.

"One more thing. Michelle, I hope you can lead the 'Bruce Charitable Foundation' to donate more charity schools!"

"Charity school?"

"Yes! Charity schools including infants, primary schools, and secondary schools. In the future, the investment in such charitable schools will be the focus of the donation of the 'Bruce Charitable Foundation', and the proportion of funds used should account for at least 70%. ”

Michelle frowned slightly and nodded. Although the content of charity has changed, the nature is the same as before. So she did not object to Guo Shouyun's decision. It's just that she's a little curious as to why he's doing it. Just as Michelle was about to ask, Barack Oguanhai pushed the door and walked in.

"Daddy...!"

After comforting the two daughters who pounced on him, "Bruce, when I saw the car parked outside, I knew it was you!"

"Long time no see, Barack!"

After the two hugged warmly, "Aren't you in Boston, why did you come to Chicago?"

"I heard that you were nominated for the chair of the Illinois Health and Human Services Commission, so I made a point to say hello. ”

"Don't be sarcastic, my growth is nothing compared to your business achievements!" Although he said this, the hint of joy in the corners of Ao Guanhai's eyes and eyebrows still revealed his true inner feelings.

"Sometimes I really wonder who is from Huaxia, you are more modest than me!"

"Sit down, and I'll prepare dinner." Michelle stood up and laughed.

"I eat pasta!"

The two sides have been friends for many years, and Guo Shouyun is not polite.

"You eat this every time you come, needless to say, I know it!"

"Mom, I'm going to eat too!" called out Maria, raising her little hand.

"Mom, and me. ”

Martha, who is used to being her sister's little tail, also spoke.

"Got it, you two little trick-or-treaters, play here obediently, don't run around. ”

"Hmm!"

"Don't worry, Michelle, we'll watch!" Guo Shouyun smiled.

"I'm afraid you'll spoil them too much. ”

After a joke, she went to the dining room and beckoned the housemaid to start preparing dinner.

In the living room, Guo Shouyun hugged Martha, Ao Guanhai hugged Maria, and while letting them play with the toys in their hands, they also began to chat.

"How's it going, is the new position going well?"

"It's okay, it's a little hectic at first, but it's normal after getting acquainted!" Okukanhai replied.

"That's good!" After a pause, "next year is a new round of congressional elections, do you have any ideas?"

Ao Guanhai was stunned for a moment and quickly reflected, "You're talking about the federal senator?"

"That's right!"

"I think about it once in a while. But I'm just now the chair of the Illinois Health and Human Services Commission, and I haven't accomplished much. In addition, his status in the party is not high. Even if you run for election, you don't have much chance of success. ”

"Barack, I don't know you so forward-looking and cautious. ”

"The more people experience and understand, the less courage they have. Why don't people always say, 'young and frivolous'!" said Ao Guanhai with a hint of bitterness on his face.

"Looks like you're more mature than before!"

Ao Guanhai shook his head, "Why did you suddenly ask this question?"

"I met Edward Kennedy in Boston this time!"

"Which Edward Kennedy?"

Guo Shouyun smiled slightly, "It's Edward Kennedy, the current leader of the Democratic Party, the only one of the three Kennedy brothers who is still alive!"

Ao Guanhai was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes burst into a strange look.
