Chapter 336: Feng Shui
In the White House, in the president's office, Ivanka was quietly looking at the tablet, maybe looking at the progress of the mission, maybe looking at the book.
Donald, who had long since left the tablet aside, had gone back and forth between the resolute table and the reception couch for an unknown number of times, and finally he stopped in the middle of the oval room.
Standing in the middle of the carpet, his gaze was fixed on the oil painting of Washington on the opposite wall, the icon of the Father of the Nation hanging above the fireplace.
Washington, dressed in formal attire, looked back at him deeply, his mouth as if about to open and spit out a barrage of expletives, a waste of national shame......
Why can I be blamed for this?
Didn't you get almost wiped out by the British, and you had to ask the French for help?
After a wordless speech, Donald lowered his head in shame and found that it was the golden presidential emblem at his feet.
It was an eagle surrounded by fifty stars, and his feet were very close to his head, like an eagle holding his wings high to hold him up.
Taking a few steps back, he looked around at the office, the room where he had been owner for a year.
"Neoclassical Baroque, Georgian tradition." He raised his chin slightly, muttered to himself, and took another step back, his ass touching something hard.
It was the four chairs that were gathered around the resolute table, which were specially used for his cronies to report on their work at close range, and he turned and glanced at the motto on the table, which read: "Here is the final responsibility."
Then his gaze was cast from the window behind the desk, this direction was south, Donald sighed slightly, then the direction he usually sat was to sit south and face north.
The Oval Office is the main place of office of the President of the United States, and the reason why it is not square is entirely the personal idea of the designer:
In the plane figure, the contact area of the circle is the largest, and since it is the highest-ranking official of the country, the natural contact area must also be the largest, and it must be a little rounder.
It's also the backdrop for the president's televised speeches to the nation, where he meets visiting foreign leaders, and has become a symbol of presidential power and prestige in the minds of people in the United States and around the world.
Behind the president's desk, there are three large windows facing south. There are also four doors that lead to the West Wing of the White House.
All in all, the location of this office is good, very close to the staff working in the west wing, go to check, it is very convenient to come over there to send a newspaper, and it is also very close to go back to the bedroom on the third floor to sleep... But!
"It's... Feng Shui is wrong! Donald thought sulkingly.
While the president is legally allowed to furnish his office according to personal preference, this only includes choosing new furniture, new curtains, and designing an oval rug that takes up most of the floor.
You can also pick a painting from your personal collection in the White House, or you can borrow one from the museum and hang it on the wall during your tenure.
The only thing that can't be changed is the layout of this room, the tables and chairs all have to be the same.
And the icon of President Washington, which must not be moved.
Donald has been unhappy about this for almost a year, as a real estate developer, he believes in feng shui theory very much, he has always had to hire a feng shui consultant to build a house, otherwise how can the property sell so well?
The first thing he did after becoming president was to renovate this garbage dump, and the place where he would live for eight years could not be much worse than his home in New York, otherwise he would not want to work for four years.
After spending more than $3 million, the most noticeable change to outsiders, except for the bedroom on the third floor, is the new wallpaper in the Oval Office.
In addition, the carpets in the lobby of the Roosevelt conference room and the staff office in the West Wing are also new, and the staff who usually walk briskly in high-end leather shoes have to step on tens of thousands of feet a day.
Donald could feel the pain of the carpet every time he thought about it, and he could faintly hear the heartache cry of something rubbing against the ground.
In addition, the stone steps on the south side of the White House have also been renovated for the first time in 63 years.
The same goes for the exterior of the heating and cooling system, which has been updated for the first time in 27 years, and has been used for 81 years on the grounds that the White House has been in use and has not had time to change it, which is simply absurd.
Of course, by the way, the electronic communication system has also been upgraded, which is a need for safety and efficiency, and after nine years, it should also be upgraded to a major level.
Anyway, it all changes every nine days, which is a natural law and a social law.
After spending a small four million dollars, Donald felt that he could barely handle world affairs here, but in less than a year, it seemed like a lot of trouble.
The United Nations is disobedient and talks about arrears every day, and this organization and that organization are also disobedient, so the United States must bear its due responsibility.
It's my ex's business to owe money, I don't care, and I owe it!
What kind of organization, that organization, useless will be returned!
Anyway, Donald has long emphasized his governing philosophy: the United States is not ready to be responsible for the world, and now we are more concerned about our own affairs, we want better incomes, higher jobs, and a safer environment.
Of course, the hand that has been stretched out must not be retracted until it gets back the good things it wants, and the White House tradition must be adhered to.
To sum it up: no promise, no refusal, no responsibility.
Although we lie and do bad things to the detriment of others and self-interest, we are a democracy, is this not enough?
Who's for and who's against?
As soon as Ma's dumb voice appeared in his mind, he was also swept away by the cold eyes of the dead bald head.
In the evening, when it was time to talk about cooperation, Donald's heart tightened and he looked at the window behind the table.
The back of a person cannot be suspended in the air, and it makes sense in Feng Shui that if it is a large glass behind the desk, it is definitely unlucky.
Facing north, unlucky.
The back glass is unlucky.
Donald looked left and right, and the pattern on the ceiling above his head seemed to be a little wrong.
Of course, the worst thing is the placement of these furniture.
He had thought about changing the pattern of this place, but all the staff members were shocked when he heard this, this tradition must not be broken.
In the end, someone gave him an explanation that allowed him to cancel the idea: the president of the United States is the most powerful person in the world (well, nominal), so there is no need to worry about whether he has a backer.
Being able to become president means that there are not only countless powerful people behind you, but also the whole country, you are the monster of the fourth and ninth level of Daboshi, and you are all supporting others......
What else are you looking for?
Do you still need to look for it?
Donald was convinced right then!
In retrospect, this is all nonsense,......
No, a big pie smashed down with his head covered in the face, and he didn't know if he would be crushed to death or be able to eat it to death.
........
