Overall, the scarcity of senators and the open-ended term of office make them relatively independent, and they often act as advocates for the interests of the states. You must know that the United States is a federal country, and each state enjoys a great deal of independent autonomy, has its own independent constitution, and has independent legislative, executive, and judicial departments.

Factors such as these determine that these senators have a very high status. A large number of candidates for the presidency are often senators, such as the current President Barack Obama, and the current favorite candidate Hillary Clinton, who was defeated by fellow Democratic senator Barack Obama in 2008 and later served as secretary of state in Obama's cabinet.

Therefore, as the leader of the Senate, Senator Alex Lopez can be described as a high authority. Not only did he thrive on Capitol Hill, but he was also very appealing. It can be said that he is one of the main goals of Li Kit to participate in these drinking parties.

"Come on, call me Alex, or Mr. Lopez, whatever you want." Alex Lopez responded to Li with a more enthusiastic attitude and introduced him to the two women around him. "My wife, Mia. Chief of Staff, Megan Brooks. ”

Alex Lopez's friendly attitude did not surprise Li Kit at all, money and power always go hand in hand. The presence of the other party here is also purposeful, mainly to win over wealthy people with large pockets, especially important donors like Li Kit who have super PACs, because they are likely to become funders of their own campaigns. Even if it is not now, it may be in the future.

Money politics, that's what it's all about.

Under the premise of such a hit, the two sides naturally communicate happily, and a harmonious scene, just like everyone else present, drinks to socialize and win over relationships. And around these high-ranking officials, rich and celebrities, there are many men in black suits, fierce eyes, and strong bodies mixed in the crowd, and these are naturally the bodyguards they brought.

Security is a very important part of such an occasion. However, there are too many people in the hall, and the composition of waiters, staff, security, stage, and media is very complex, and it is inevitable that there will be omissions and places that cannot be taken into account.

So when a man with a beard pulled out a small plastic bottle from his pocket and quickly splashed the liquid on Alex Lopez's side, the bodyguards present barely reacted.

And the reason why the word "almost" is used is because there is still one of the largest bodyguards who makes a timely move—Gus takes off his suit with agility that is not commensurate with his strong physique, and throws it with great force, just enough to block the large expanse of red liquid.

Among the people Alex was talking to, Li Jie and Gail happened to have their backs to the bearded man, but he seemed to have eyes behind his back, and with a slight horizontal of his arm, he burst out with unimaginable amazing power, pushing Alex and others out of the circle. Then he took Gale and took a step back, his movements almost so fast that when the residual liquid spilled down, no one was even touched.

"Poof!"

It was the dull sound of a large pool of liquid being stopped by a suit.

"Smack!"

The remaining liquid spilled on the floor.

Screams and exclamations rang out from all sides almost simultaneously.

At this time, Alex Lopez and others, who were pushed and staggered, reacted, and his wife Mia and Chief of Staff Megan Brooks were a little shocked, and their faces were full of surprise. Alex Lopez himself looked even more ugly at the small puddle of marks on the ground, and the viscous state and appearance indicated that the bright red liquid was mostly paint—the kind that was difficult to wash off. If this thing splashes itself all over his face, I'm afraid there will be no suspense in the headlines of the major media tomorrow morning.

Thinking of this, Alex looked fiercely at the initiator of this farce.

I have to say that this guy who splashed paint is quite good, and the direction of the attack is as accurate as a guided missile, which also leads to the fact that after being destroyed by Gus and Li Jie successively, the scope of the paint spilling did not affect too many people, only a few unlucky guys were stained a little bit on their clothes, and at this time they were all scolding their mothers and busy dealing with them, and the scene was also a mess.

"Alex Lopez! You bacus raised! The drone project will only fight the killing of innocent children, you executioner...... Fuckyou!”

After the bearded man splashed the paint, he threw away the bottle in his hand, and quickly peeled off his coat, revealing the white T-shirt he was wearing inside, only to see that it was written in bright red paint "Drone = butcher!" At the same time, his mouth began to greet Alex Lopez and his family.

However, he didn't have a chance to shout a second sentence, and at this time, Gus, who had no coat and only a white shirt left on his upper body, leaped up and threw him down, and grabbed him by the neck, so that he could no longer make a sound.

"You've got too much nonsense." Gus grinned and tore off the corner of the bearded man's T-shirt, stuffed his mouth tightly in a ball, and lifted him up with both hands like a chicken.

His suit jacket was thrown out in a hurry just now to block the paint, and at this time, the shirt on his body was tightened by the muscles, revealing an extremely majestic figure, exuding bursts of strong male hormones, and the people next to him were dizzy, and several middle-aged ladies were even more colorful ripples in their eyes, and even felt that their lower bodies were already a little wet.

casually plugged his mouth and shouted "woo woo" to the guards on the side, Gus slightly straightened his tie and walked back to Li Jie. Naturally, there were staff and security guards who arrived at the scene to clean up the mess, and this small harassment was quickly controlled.

"You're so fast, Bruce, you're unbelievably fast! Thanks, you have to know, there are so many idiots who like to find trouble these days, and if you hadn't reacted in time, I'm afraid I'd be in the headlines of tomorrow. The situation was brought under control and Alex Lopez quickly regained his composure. He previously proposed to revise the current drone management law and support giving greater autonomy to drone projects, this bearded man is probably a more extreme protester, and it is not uncommon for guys like him to want to be heroes because of all kinds of things, but today he almost succeeded.

If the embarrassed photo of his face covered in paint makes headlines, I am afraid that his future will be hit hard, which is not an exaggeration at all, and then it can only be seen whether the crisis public relations is not effective, and those competitors will not let go of such a good opportunity. So from the bottom of his heart, Alex Lopez is quite fortunate and really grateful to Li Jie.

"The man had a media pass, maybe there was a security breach, but it wasn't a big deal. Fortunately, he only splashed paint, not dangerous goods such as sulfuric acid, and no one was harmed. Li Jie originally had a bit of a desire to watch the excitement, and such an attacker is a reserved program in the United States. However, the target is on his own side, and it just gives him the opportunity to show favor to Alex Lopez.

"And this one." Alex smiled and turned to Gus, reaching out to pat him on the shoulder, but soon found that the height difference between the two was a little awkward, so he had to pat his arm instead. "Thanks, man. Bruce, your bodyguard is amazing, at first glance he is a very professional elite, how did you find such a great guy? ”

"Haha, Gus is really great. I happen to have some outlets, and if you need a better bodyguard, I can arrange it for you. Li Jie couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this, and whispered to him.

"That's it." Alex Lopez laughed and said again. "I owe you a personal favor, Bruce."

Li Jie smiled silently.

With such a small episode, the atmosphere between them is more harmonious. Next is the fixed process of the cocktail party, speeches, socializing, drinking and communicating, under the introduction of Alex, Li Jie took advantage of the situation to expand his social circle a little.

The reception wasn't very boring, and on the way back, Li Jie thought that at least the performance of popular artist Anyana Jones (aryana_jones) was quite exciting.
