Fortunately, these two bronze Buddhas were originally gifts prepared by Kate for pathfinding, since Ashley has bitten the hook, then two hundred, two hundred yuan, as long as she swallows this fast fat meat, then I am not afraid that she will not accept her fiddling. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

As the saying goes, the mouth of eating people is short, and the hands of taking people are short, as long as she accepts her own gifts, then the next thing will be much easier.

"Well, since you have to insist, then you're welcome."

Kate said to Ashley with a smile, and when she heard Kate agree, Ashley immediately turned out her wallet, took out two hundred dollars in cash from it, and slapped it into Kate's hand, for fear that she would regret it.

"Well, now that the thing is yours, then I'll send you home. You didn't come by car, and it wasn't that easy to come home with two bronze Buddhas, and it wasn't so easy to call a taxi here. ”

Kate smiled and put the two hundred dollars into her purse, and then said to Ashley, and Ashley pretended again, and finally nodded and agreed that Kate sent him home.

Ashley's family lives in the Bay Area of San Francisco, which is the most famous rich area in San Francisco, backed by the Rocky Mountain and facing the Pacific Ocean, with a particularly good scenery.

Ashley's home is located in the middle of the mountain, deep in the dense forest, and the area is very large, a three-storey villa with a large swimming pool in front of it, plus a basketball court.

However, it is obviously impossible for this old lady to play basketball, this basketball court is for her beloved son, but when her son grew up, he moved out of the villa and usually does not come home often.

And her husband, a senior director of Pan American Airlines, also flies around in other places all the year round because of his own work problems, and he is not often at home, so such a large mansion, usually only this old lady and a golden retriever she raises live together.

Kate drove the car directly into the parking lot in front of the villa, and then the two of them moved the two bronze Buddhas from the car and moved them directly to the living room of the villa, and under the command of the impatient Ashley, they were placed in the living room before stopping.

"Something to drink? Kate, I've got soda, whiskey, and beer, what do you like? ”

After setting up the two bronze Buddhas, Ashley felt very satisfied, and looked at Kate more and more satisfied, this woman has been able to approach her for many days, but she has never given her any good looks.

And always deliberately kept a certain distance from her, but today she did it beautifully, and Ashley decided to give him a chance.

Look at what she wants from herself, she can be regarded as taking the benefits of others, and she should help others do something.

"Then let's have a glass of whiskey with rocks, haha, isn't it a little early to drink at this time."

Kate smiled and said to Ashley, and Ashley smiled slightly: "It's not early, dear, it's not early at all, it's just the right time." ”

With that, she turned and went to the kitchen, and after a while she took out a bottle of pure Scottish malt whisky, then took out another ice bucket, poured a glass for Kate and herself, and added two ice cubes.

Kate took the whiskey, took a sip, and raised her glass like Ashley, "You really reciprocate, Ashley." ”

"Haha, of course, I've been drinking this wine for many years, and although it's not well-known, it has always tasted good."

"Yes, I've drunk a lot of whisky before, but the smoky one is so good that I really have to say Scots."

Kate complimented Ashley and said, and at this time Ashley put down the wine glass in her hand, stared at Kate with both eyes, and looked at it for a long time, until Kate felt that she was a little hairy by her, she laughed.

"Haha, okay, Kate, let's stop going around in circles, just say anything. I know who sent you and what you want, so you can make it clear what your boss thinks. ”

Ashley suddenly went straight to the point at this time, showing her methods as a veteran politician, fortunately, Kate, as a police detective, has also experienced a lot of big scenes, and quickly calmed down at this time, if it were someone else, it was likely to be messed up by the sudden attack of this old fox.

"Well, I'm not going around in circles, Ashley, we all know that at the end of this month, there will be McKinsey in the California Congress, and there will be a proposal to build a high-speed rail from San Francisco to Los Angeles, and this proposal will be pushed by the governor, and there is an 80 to 90 percent chance that it will pass in the state legislature, and what I want to make sure now is that when this bill is passed in the state legislature, there will be no hindrance on the side of the Department of Environmental Protection."

Kate looked at Ashley and said very seriously, and at this time Ashley was staring at Kate's eyes very seriously, and after a while, she laughed again.

"That's of course, why should I oppose this proposal, it's a good thing for California, and of course I'm going to promote the implementation of this project in California, which is a good thing for California's employment growth."

Kate was stunned when she heard Ashley say this, Ashley agreed to her proposal so happily, she was really a little unexpected.

Because in her impression, and the intelligence they have gathered, this Ashley is a staunch opponent of the high-speed rail project, and this guy is a very difficult person to deal with.

Once she decides to oppose this project, even if the governor puts pressure on her, she may not be able to bow her head, and now she has agreed to her proposal so easily, there must be something wrong with it.

At this time, Ashley also saw Kate's surprise, and then laughed again: "Honey, do you think I will oppose this proposal?" ”

"That's right, we knew a little bit about you before we came, and as far as we know, you were a serious opponent of the high-speed rail construction plan in California. Before this high-speed rail proposal, there was actually a similar proposal in California to build a rail project from San Francisco to Los Angeles, and that project passed the state legislature, but it ended up in the hands of your Department of Environmental Protection, so we initially thought that you would be the main obstacle to this issue. ”

As a seasoned police detective, Kate knows that with an old fritter politician like Ashley, there's no need to go around in circles with her, if she treats you as a friend, you don't want to waste time, she'll definitely be able to tell you what she can say, and if she decides to keep things secret, even if you're her best friend, she won't tell you.

So at this time with this Ashley, don't go around in circles, if there is anything to ask, she is willing to tell you, she will definitely say.

"Haha, the world is changing, everything will change, including me, I really hated this kind of railway project before, because this kind of railway project is completely useless to the United States and California, and the most important thing is that such a railway project will affect the operation of my husband's airline. But now it's different ... ”

Ashley paused at this point, and then smiled playfully.

"Oh? So now, are you no longer afraid that this high-speed rail project will affect the normal operation of your husband's airline? ”

Kate was very surprised by Ashley's confession, she didn't expect her to tell herself so bluntly that she had vetoed the project before because she was afraid that it would affect his husband's income.

So what now? Why would she approve of it?

"Haha, the reason is also very simple, because recently my son happened to be with a guy named Chris. The Furrell guy became friends, and they plan to join forces to set up a company that plans to introduce high-speed rail locomotive technology from abroad in the future, and then apply it to this high-speed rail line in California... ”

Ashley's confession has already stunned Kate, these politicians are really shameless enough.

In the past, Kate also knew that these politicians did not have many good things, but now after really contacting these politicians, she realized that these politicians can blatantly play with interests to such a point, and from this moment on, her confidence in the American system has begun to shake a little.

"You're surprised, aren't you? I know you're shocked, why I'm so honest with you, so I'll be straight with you, but the reason I'm telling you this is because I know who your representatives are, and you're in the same league with those guys, and the Friel brothers are in the same league as you. I think when you go back, tell them, especially which Forrell, I can agree to start the construction of the first high-speed rail in the United States in California through your proposal, but the premise is that you must ensure that the locomotive technology introduction project must cooperate with my son, and this joint venture company must be located in California in the future, whether it is San Francisco, or Los Angeles, or Sacramento, anyway, this company must be established in California, and it must not be built in other states. If you don't agree to this condition for me, hehe, you know, I have 10,000 ways to make your high-speed rail not work. ”

The old lady said so much to Kate in one breath, and Kate was stunned at this time, it seems that the American people occupied Wall Street back then, and they could only say that their horizons were too narrow, and the cysts of these politicians were actually no more noble than the parasites on Wall Street.
