Chapter 427: The Iron Fist President (Medium)
For the next two and a half days, Chu Tianjiang and the others had nothing to do.
During the day, Nicol and his wife mostly bask in the sun on the top deck. Because Carroll had been here once, Stewart was very interested in not going to the top deck. At night, after the others had gone to bed, Nicol and the others were much freer.
On the first night, they swam more than 100 kilometers away and caught a 50-kilogram tuna, which filled Clara with sashimi. This night, Chu Tianjiang and Clara were together, making dozens of exquisite diamond jewelry, and also made an extremely exquisite diamond necklace for Clara.
The next night, under the auspices of Chu Tianjiang and Clara, a not-so-grand wedding was held for Stuart and Carol, and Clara gave the newlyweds a gift on behalf of Chu Tianjiang, that is, a pair of wedding rings set with red and blue diamonds, as well as a diamond jewelry that Nicole and his wife each gave to the bride, which made the wedding very perfect, and Stewart and Carol were even more ecstatic.
On the third night, at Rachel's strong request, after the others fell asleep, Chu Tianjiang took Clara and Nichol to enjoy the beautiful scenery under the sea. Unlike the Arctic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico has more marine life and is home to a wide variety of fish. Before the cataclysm, the Gulf of Mexico was known for its fishing grounds, where thousands of fishing boats caught millions of tons of marine fish each year.
Without the bonds, Nicole and the others had a great time.
Chu Tianjiang also relaxed, taking Clara to enjoy the comfort and pleasure of swimming in the deep sea.
Estimating the time, in the early hours of the morning, Chu Tianjiang took Nicol and the others back to the yacht.
"Husband, if we can, let's build an undersea home."
"Home under the sea?" Chu Tianjiang was very surprised by Nicole's whim.
"Make an undersea city with a closed ecosystem where Clara and Anna can live in it, use energy bodies to create a light source in it, build a house, and reclaim some land. In this way, we can live in it forever. ”
"Isolated?"
"Do you think the current world is very beautiful?"
Chu Tianjiang sighed and said, "It is undeniable that the current world is not beautiful at all, let alone the United States, no country is beautiful. But we must believe that with the efforts of us, all of us, this world will become a better place. ”
"I don't dare think so, and we may not live to that day."
Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "This is not necessarily. Have you felt older these months? ”
"It's only been a few months, and who's to say we won't get old?"
Chu Tianjiang shook his head with a smile and said, "Also, people are social animals, no one can leave the group, everyone has to live in society. ”
"Aren't we just a group?"
"It's just a small group, or a group, far from being a group, let alone a society." Chu Tianjiang let out a long sigh and said, "When we have children, do you want them to grow up in an isolated environment, and hope that they will never be able to find a wife for the rest of their lives, or they will not be able to find a husband?" ”
"Then count Andre and them."
Chu Tianjiang rolled his eyes and said, "Nichol, I know what you're thinking, and I can understand your thoughts. If possible, we can build an undersea home, but we won't live in it forever. Believe me, it's definitely not going to be me who will come out to see the excitement when the time comes. ”
"It won't be me."
"You say so, that's me?" Rachel, who had not spoken, spoke.
Clara smiled and said, "Rachel, I'm just like you. ”
"That's pretty much it."
"Alright, let's all get on board. Before the others woke up, they would go to their own room. ”
Chu Tianjiang first jumped onto the deck with Clara on his back, and then sent her back to the bedroom. By the time Clara put on her pajamas and lay down in bed and fall asleep, it was already dark.
Nicol and the others didn't sleep, and went to the top deck again.
In Rachel's words, they had to fight to get their skin sunburned. What made Chu Tianjiang speechless was that they didn't need to sunbathe at all, and they could turn their skin wheat-colored at any time. Chu Tianjiang prefers girls with fairer skin, but he doesn't dare to say it to Nichol.
Hearing the sound of the helicopter, Chu Tianjiang immediately went to the top open-air deck.
Luckily, Nicole and the others heard it, and they both put on their tights, and after making the tights invisible, they put on their bikini swimsuits.
Stewart's ears weren't as sharp, and he only made his way to the top deck when the helicopter approached.
It was a Bell 430 commercial helicopter that was used to transport personnel to offshore drilling platforms before the catastrophe. Because the Gulf of Mexico is the most important oil-producing region in the United States and has a large number of offshore oil extraction platforms, there are many commercial helicopters of this type in the region.
Now those who can travel by helicopter are definitely powerful and powerful people.
"Your president?"
"yes, it's finally here."
"Let's go, let's go to the helicopter deck."
"They're ......," Stewart looked at Nichole and the others who were still lying on their beach chairs.
"Leave them alone, you guys won't come here to see beautiful women, will you?"
Stewart smiled reluctantly, didn't say anything more, and followed Chu Tianjiang to the helicopter take-off and landing platform located at the tail of the yacht.
It was not only the president of the Houston Chamber of Commerce who came, but also two young and beautiful female secretaries and four tall and strong bodyguards. The president of the Houston Chamber of Commerce is a middle-aged man, who appears to be about forty-five years old, and may be a little older, around fifty. He is not very tall, not fat, and has a tough appearance, giving the first impression that he does not look like a businessman at all.
Stewart has long mentioned that the president served in the Army as a young man, fought in Operation Desert Storm and later fought in the Iraq War. Fifteen years ago, shortly before the U.S. war on terror, he retired from the military and returned to Houston to become a city police officer.
A few years later, he became a detective and almost single-handedly dismantled some of Houston's largest crime syndicates, earning him a high local reputation.
Prior to the catastrophe, he was called upon by the federal government to assist the National Guard in the evacuation and became the head of policing in a settlement in the north.
Before the invasion, the federal government issued a return order, and most of the civilians in the settlements returned to the cities, but he believed that the cities were not safe enough and left the civilians in the settlements. In this way, the civilians of his settlement avoided the DNA virus that had spread throughout the city. Before the invaders arrived, a hurricane from the sea washed away the DNA virus, and the men in the settlement were not infected.
However, after the invaders evacuated, when he returned to Houston with the survivors, it was already occupied by the white group.
After several large-scale shopping battles and heavy casualties on both sides, he reached a compromise with the local white group, that is, he formed the Houston Chamber of Commerce, which monopolized all of Houston's foreign trade and half of the market transactions, and he paid taxes to the white group according to the agreement.
In just a few months, under his iron fist, the Houston Chamber of Commerce became one of the five largest chambers of commerce in the western region.
Obviously, this guy is an out-and-out legend.
"Mr. Chu!"
"President Craig, it's been a privilege to meet you." Chu Tianjiang showed due courtesy.
"When I heard that you selflessly supported Stewart, I really wanted to know what kind of person you are." Craig smiled and said, "Now that I see you, I have to admit that God favored Stuart so much that he let him meet you and become your partner." ”
"It's called fate, the president won't have prejudices against me because he was dug into a corner by me, right?"
Craig smiled and said, "Where, you are Stewart's partner, that is, my partner." Stewart, am I right? ”
Stewart was embarrassed and hurriedly said, "Let's go inside and talk about it." ”
"Okay." Craig nodded, and said to Chu Tianjiang again, "Mr. Chu, listen to what Stewart said, you not only have a wife who is amazing, but also several subordinates who are so beautiful that the angel can be embarrassed. ”
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the president."
"Oh?"
"The inner person is pregnant, I'm afraid I'm still in bed. Those subordinates are usually not bound by me at all, and now I'm afraid they are all busy with other things. Chu Tianjiang was also a little embarrassed, and said with a smile, "Let's go to the restaurant, breakfast should be ready." The president came overnight, so he must still be hungry, right? ”
Craig obviously learned about the relationship between Chu Tianjiang and Nichol from Stewart, so he didn't object.
Breakfast was ready, just not plentiful. The main reason is that Chu Tianjiang and Nichol usually eat to cope, and in order to take care of Clara, they prepare some foods that are lighter and more suitable for pregnant women, such as milk, cakes and fresh fruits.
It seems that Craig has already filled his belly on the way here, so he doesn't show much interest in food.
"Get out of here, all of you." After Carol and the others had brought in early and left the restaurant, Craig gave an order to the five attendants who had followed. "Stewart, you're out of the way, too."
"President, I'm ......"
"I want to talk to Mr. Chu alone, if I need you, I will call you in."
Stewart didn't dare to hesitate and quickly followed the entourage out of the restaurant.
Obviously, Craig is a relatively straightforward person, and his experience shows that he is not good at beating around the bush, and Chu Tianjiang also likes to deal with such people. If Craig was a person like Monica, Chu Tianjiang would not have waited for these few days, not even coming to Houston.
