Chapter 126: White House Dinner
When the war finally passed, peace returned to Chicago, and people who had previously taken refuge began to return to their homes, although their homes would need to be repaired for some time.
However, the president and the parliament were very face-saving in this regard, and a large number of materials and construction units came to Chicago as soon as possible to participate in the reconstruction work, and of course, the construction team of the Brotherhood received a lot of good work.
As for Lee, these heroes who fought against foreign enemies were also received by the president, but Lee made a little choice in the selection of people to meet, and aliens like Erwin, Finley, Alfred and Arnold naturally couldn't be brought, of course, they didn't necessarily want to go, and John, a problem child, also gave him a headache for a long time, and finally decided to take him, and in the end, it was these people from the fraternity who went to the White House together.
The government car took them to the door of the White House, and Mr. President greeted them down the stairs and grabbed the hand of Lee, who had just come out of the car, and kindly made him feel a little overwhelmed.
"Mr. Steve, I finally met you, I learned a little about you from David, thank you so much for what you and your teacher have done to the federal government and the people. And you, children, come, let's go in first, and talk slowly for a while. ”
David and Joe, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, stood on the stairs and smiled at Li and them, and followed the president towards the White House. John came to Lee's side and said to him in the smallest of voices: "So enthusiastic, is the president trying to recruit us?" ”
Li's smile didn't change at all, just squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Remember what I told you, your mouth is only used for eating today, if you say another word, I will let Fu Bo lock you up for a whole year, if you don't believe it, you can try." ”
John immediately shut his mouth and obediently followed the crowd inside.
At the same time, he also announced at the banquet that David would become the head of the Special Affairs Investigation Office, and the entire investigation room was upgraded to the Investigation Bureau, which was directly responsible to the President's Office, and David's former senior officer took over William's position and became the official FBI director.
Lee knew very well that after he made it clear that he did not intend to have an official status, His Excellency the President was courting him, and the two directors were his acquaintances, and as long as they did not intend to do the same thing as the Speaker, the federal government would not care about them at all, and if there was any trouble, most of them would have to help them.
Of course, in exchange, Lee also promised to accept a group of federal agents to his Thunder Security Company every year to strengthen the combat effectiveness of unnatural creatures, of course, the federal government will pay for this fee, as for the amount, Li Ke will not be polite to them.
Similarly, the government has set up a weapons room at Thunder to develop specialized weapons. Anyway, the whole dinner was spent in Lee's satisfaction and John's grumbling, and after the dinner, David and Joe took time out to get together with Lee and the others for a while.
"I didn't expect you to be in the presidency, Joe." Lee hugged them and teased the Demon Hunter in passing.
Joe was a little embarrassed and scratched his head, "Although it is our duty to eliminate demons, it is certainly better to be able to eat under this premise." ”
"Hahaha, then you've found a good job." "I won't stay here forever, I'll leave when David's department is established." "Well, by the way, if there is any difficulty in the future, we can still take care of at least a few meals. I heard David say that when he found you this time, you were eating overlord meal at a roadside shop. "That's not the case, I just forgot to give the money in time to track down the demon," Honest Joe hurriedly argued. Hahaha, okay, okay, I'm kidding, but to be honest, I can understand that your profession needs a detached position, but it's okay for a friend to invite you to a meal, I don't want to see someone in the demon slayer camp lose their staff because of hunger. "Okay, Lee, I accept your kindness." This is indeed a difficult step for Joe, the Demon Hunter profession has stipulated from the beginning that they cannot accept gifts and donations from any forces and individuals other than the church, because that will affect their fairness and justice, in the dark age of the past, there was indeed a thing where the Demon Hunter finally joined the dark camp.
But times are different, the mass death and hiding of dark creatures has made the church's funding for demon hunters weaker and weaker, and there have even been several times when Joe didn't catch up with his prey because of hunger, which made him very annoyed, Tong Guò fought side by side with Lee, plus Joe himself is not a stupid and rigid person, he still accepted Lee's kindness, of course, he will not accept the money from the US government, so the restrictions are too great. Mr. President can also see this, as long as the government does not develop dark creature weapons, Joe will not be their enemy.
Seeing that Joe accepted Lee's kindness, David couldn't help it, he took over the position of director for the first time, and he was very uncertain, especially when he knew how strong the real dark creature was.
"Li, we're old friends, you can't see death without help, and Joe, don't run away yet, you have to help me get through the difficulties first."
Li smiled and said: "Come on, our director, you are directly responsible to the president, your current power is as big as the director of the FBI and CIA, what are the difficulties." ”
"Okay, Li, don't make fun of me, a newly established department, you have to start from scratch, even if all the people in the original investigation room are assigned to my subordinates, but after a long time with you, I can understand what the real dark creature is dangerous. I don't care, as friends, you two can't die without help, especially you, Lee, you have received a lot of information from me, if you don't help me, I will immediately apply for the new Bureau of Investigation address to be placed in your BW building in Chicago. ”
Li looked at David with a smile, this Lai Pi Jin was very good at his demeanor back then, "Okay, I'll send Locke to you to be an instructor for a while, you can solve the weapons or stuff yourself, the drawings were given to you before, don't pretend that you didn't intercept them." ”
Seeing that Li agreed, David immediately smiled, patted his chest and promised, "Okay, that's not a problem." If you need anything in the future, just ask, my intelligence room here is open for you all year round. "Come on, one yard to one yard, don't think I don't know your little thoughts, my Thunder won't be a subordinate team of your Investigation Bureau, and Locke will not be able to stay with you all year round." "I'm not that kind of person" and "haha" friendship laughter echoed in the White House tonight, and Mr. President also had a good night's sleep.
