United States. Washington. At more than ten o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Xiaotian's iconic plane landed at Washington International Airport, Lin Xiaotian's car had been driven to the airport by the security company, waiting for Lin Xiaotian's use, the hatch opened, Lin Xiaotian was dressed in formal clothes, Jane was also dressed in light blue professional clothes, George and others were in black suits, wearing black eyepieces, and headphones on their ears, and they got off the plane around Lin Xiaotian.

There was no superfluous nonsense, Lin Xiaotian got into the car directly, "Jane, contact Edward, I'll go to him now" Lin Xiaotian said directly after getting in the car, Jane picked up the phone and began to connect, the convoy began to start, went directly to the road, and entered the vast traffic.

It didn't take long for Jane to put down the phone, "Boss, I've already contacted Mr. Edward, he is waiting for you at home" Lin Xiaotian nodded, pressed the button, and the window separating the cab in front opened, "George, go directly to Edward's house" Lin Xiaotian said calmly, George nodded, picked up the walkie-talkie and began to set it up, changing the route.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Lin Xiaotian's rare head was empty, just looking at the scenery outside the window, the carriage was very stuffy, and the convoy was moving forward quickly, at the same time, Hughes, Ermaar, Sartre, Lawrence, and the four of them also arrived in Washington, and the four of them received a call from Wynne, very simple, just two words, [talk] must be discussed, if there are differences, they must be discussed, invite them to Washington, have to come.

Edward's manor covers a large area, the guards were obviously notified, after a rough verification, Lin Xiaotian's motorcade drove into the manor, after getting off the car, Lin Xiaotian went straight to the villa, familiar with the road, has been here a few times, and knows how to go.

Edward waited for Lin Xiaotian at the door of the house, shook hands with Lin Xiaotian, and the two of them went upstairs together, just the two of them, no one else, "What to drink" Edward asked.

"Anything is fine" Lin Xiaotian said indifferently, what to drink Lin Xiaotian really doesn't care now.

Edward poured two glasses of red wine, handed Lin Xiaotian a glass, the two of them sat there, and took a sip, "The election is over, we lost" Edward said bluntly, Lin Xiaotian was stunned, looked at Edward, Edward closed his eyes and leaned on the sofa, exhausted.

It took a long time to do a good job, "There is a consortium involved, there is no way, his support object is the Republican candidate" Edward's spirit is very low, his efforts have failed again, three times, I don't know if there is a chance for the fourth one.

Lin Xiaotian is no longer the little white he was at the beginning, what does the oil consortium represent, now he knows very well, sitting there is also a closed eye, and after a long time he opened his eyes.

"You gave up" stared at Edward, Lin Xiaotian figured it out, unless Edward gave up, otherwise the election has not yet ended, at least not now.

"Yes, I gave up" Edward did not hide it, and admitted it directly, Lin Xiaotian's face was gloomy, and he stared at Edward with a flicker of his eyes, and the meaning in his eyes was very complicated.

"What is the reason" Lin Xiaotian suppressed his anger and asked this sentence, he must know what the reason is.

Edward smiled, did not hide it, and directly talked about what he talked to Huai En that day, Lin Xiaotian was silent, how could he never have thought that such a turn would happen, Edward cannot be blamed for this matter, external force is a factor, but his own strength is the fundamental reason, and the weakness of the Democratic Party candidates cannot be changed, but Lin Xiaotian is a little pity in his heart.

"You don't have to worry about Jeff Bush, he will officially retire next year, the news has come out, he himself said it" Edward added, Lin Xiaotian smiled after hearing it, although Jeff Bush said that it was a big mountain, but this mountain can't crush the umbrella, Lin Xiaotian cares about Edward's fighting spirit, and it is obvious that Edward's fighting spirit is not much left.

smiled a little, "Since you have given up, then just notify me, there is no need for me to come here in person" Lin Xiaotian keenly discovered the problem here, if it was just that simple, there was no need to let yourself come over, there was no need for this.

"It's very simple, the people in the oil consortium need you and the arms dealers to meet with Bush Sr., everyone will spread out the unpleasant things, and solve the conflict in a comprehensive way, which is also an opportunity for you," Edward said with a glass of wine.

Lin Xiaotian nodded, and understood in his heart that when he talked to Bush Sr. with the arms dealer, the election could be over, this was the final deal, Lin Xiaotian smiled, when did he have this weight.

"Edward, I don't care who wins or loses in the election, what I care about is you, the Edward I know is a fighting spirit, now, what is Edward in front of me, a puddle of mud, failure is failure, it's not that there has been no failure, I don't believe that the oil consortium will always support him, my information is not as comprehensive as yours, but your performance makes me very disappointed, I flew all the way for more than 20 hours just to see a mess of Edward, where did the scrappy Edward go, you think about it, I'll go first" After Lin Xiaotian finished these last words, he stood up and left, not looking at Edward at all, Edward without fighting spirit is not Edward.

smiled bitterly, walked to the window, watched Lin Xiaotian get in the car and leave, and then sat back on the sofa alone, with his eyes closed, and he didn't know how long, a pair of hands massaged his head, bringing Edward a burst of comfort.

Edward opened his eyes, and did not turn his head to look at "Madame, you are here" and said a word, the expression on his face was very ordinary.

"Why, didn't you negotiate with Lin?" asked Lady Edward

Edward smiled bitterly and repeated Lin Xiaotian's words, his wife Linda had already come to his side at this time, took the red wine in his hand, put it on the table, and did it to his side.

"Linda, I feel a little tired, really, very tired" Edward's face really revealed a kind of exhaustion, deep exhaustion, this matter is impossible without a blow to him, how can he be willing to achieve his heart in a lifetime, but the waves of blows from reality really make Edward feel tired.

Let Edward lie on the sofa, pillowed his legs, Linda then spoke, "Edward, I don't think what Lin said is wrong, it's not terrible to fail, it's not that we haven't failed, but it's terrible that your fighting spirit disappears, I guess he said it when he saw your lack of fighting spirit, his original intention should be to cheer you up, first of all, you can't give up on yourself."

"I know, so I don't blame him, if I had my previous temper, I would at least drop a cup, let me rest, I'll get better in a few days" Edward didn't open his eyes, just closed his eyes and fell asleep, it can be seen that he is really physically and mentally exhausted.

Lin Xiaotian left Edward's house, and he had a breath of anger in his heart, how could things be like this, the Republican Party won, what impact it will have on his Southeast Asian strategy, no one knows this, if the Republican-controlled US government directly intervenes in Southeast Asian affairs, his hard work will really be in vain, how can he be willing, absolutely unwilling.

"Jane, contact West for me" Lin Xiaotian sat there and closed his eyes and said, Jane immediately began to get busy, although she didn't know what the boss talked about with Edward, but it could be seen from the boss's face that it was not good news.

"Boss, the phone is on" Jane said softly, Lin Xiaotian opened his eyes and took the phone in Jane's hand.

"West, I'm Lin Xiaotian," Lin Xiaotian said directly.

"Lin, how did you remember to call me today" West is now in his office in New York, although he doesn't have any work, but when he arrives at the company, he can have a certain utility.

"West, I propose to convene a core meeting, the venue is in Washington, D.C., and I myself am in Washington now" Lin Xiaotian said expressionlessly, West on the other side of the phone was stunned, he didn't expect Lin Xiaotian to arrive in Washington.

"Lin, what's wrong," West asked.

"It's not good, let's discuss it when we get there" Lin Xiaotian didn't say what it was directly, this matter was too big, and it was not clear on the phone.

"Okay, I'll inform them" West didn't delay, since Lin Xiaotian said that he was going to hold a core meeting, then something urgent must have happened, and the matter was not small.

"Okay, be fast, it's best if everyone will come tomorrow" Lin Xiaotian added, and there was a burst of irritability in his heart.

"Don't worry, everyone will be in Washington tomorrow, just meet at Sartre" West said seriously, Sartre is Washington's head snake, and it is very safe to go to his home.

"Okay, West, I'm on fire in my stomach now, I'll see you tomorrow" Lin Xiaotian finally said to West, his heart was indeed very irritable, and a nameless fire was getting bigger and bigger.

The phone hung up, Lin Xiaotian's motorcade went straight to the hotel, the Hilton Hotel, which is the hotel where Lin Xiaotian stayed, had already booked a room, high-rise, Chaoyang, the area was not small, it was a large suite, George After they checked, Lin Xiaotian moved in.

After West hung up the phone, he started to call, first called Sartre, Washington is Sartre's territory, Lin Xiaotian is now in Washington, and it can be heard from the phone that Lin Xiaotian is not small now, if he can't control himself, something will happen, so he first notified Sartre to let him be prepared.

"What, Lin is in Washington now, are you sure" Sartre didn't believe it very much, he was unhappy about the oil consortium, so he didn't go out today, and he would never have thought that Lin Xiaotian would come to Washington.

"I'm sure, and I'm sure that Lin is angry now, I guess there is something that makes him very unhappy, you pay attention, don't let him have any accidents, Lin proposes to hold a core meeting tomorrow, the location is yours, is there a problem" West explained in particular, Sarthorn nodded.

"I don't have a problem, but West, don't worry too much, there aren't many people who can fly Lin from Hong Kong to Washington," Sutter said calmly, and now his mind was already spinning in high speed.
