Chapter 27: Rain
Looking at the beautiful lady in front of him, Rumpt was stumped by her question.
Lampt thought for a moment before he spoke: "If you just give dividends or profits to the federal government, there is no problem. But I think, beautiful lady, you need to come and talk to me about this in person, there must be strings attached. In that case, I have no right to accept conditional gifts to the state. No matter what industry your entry into industry will have an impact on, no matter how turbulent it is. But that's your businessman's business, even though I was a businessman before, and a very successful businessman. ”
Speaking of which, Rumpt has a bit of self-satisfaction, as a successful businessman, as the head of a great power who has gone from one peak to the next. He can stand tall in front of any woman and accept their submission and praise. It doesn't matter if it's a businesswoman or a strong woman, a beauty or a goddess.
But seeing that the other party didn't react at all, he didn't mean to compliment at all, so he had to continue: "As a referee, our government is only responsible for managing your football, and it is impossible to accept your bribes and sales, and then go down to help you settle your opponents." ”
"Oh, honorable Mr. President, you are wrong, what Shengshi wants in exchange is not to settle our opponents, but to solve your troubles with us." Lee, on the other side, spoke in a gentle tone and had a pleasant voice, but the content was not so pleasant.
Not only was it pointed out by the other side, but the other side turned the problems and the problems into the federal government, tsk, you listen, 'solve your problems with us,' just like how much trouble I, the president, faced.
Rumpt couldn't help but wave his hand violently, like opening a nasty fly flying in front of him, and said forcefully: "There is no room for negotiation in this." ”
"Is there really no room for negotiation?" Li on the other side looked forward to it, and Chu Chu continued movingly: "As the head of the United States, I believe that Mr. President has many ways to make this gift possible, a proposal, or a bill. Always available to help me. ”
looked at the begging look of Li on the other side, and almost agreed under her charm. Fortunately, I held back in time, but my mouth moved, and I couldn't help but be glad that I had consistently good self-control.
Looking directly into Lee's eyes on the other side, Lampt spoke slowly and sincerely, and in order to strengthen his tone, his customary right index finger and thumb were pointed straight forward, the other three fingers were bent, and the gesture of shaking his wrist came out inadvertently.
But his wrist shook and was raised to his ear, and the gesture became like an oath to the sky, making his whole paragraph like an oath: "Li, you are the most attractive Chinese woman I have ever seen, even the Song who conquered the people of the United States with beauty and elegance, courage and wisdom, blew the whirlwind of Song, and made the whole country fall for it, is not as good as your case." If it's something else, I'll do my best to help you out. But your request for the government to play football for you is contrary to the spirit of our great constitution, and it is not a problem that can be solved by a proposal or a bill. So, let's talk about something practical. ”
As he spoke, Lampt saw that the expression of the beautiful woman opposite changed from a faint joy when she was praised to a loss that her request was not met. Looking at the lost expression of the beautiful lady on the other side who wrote her emotions on her face like a little girl, even his mood also dropped, as if the oval office was darkened, and the bright sunlight outside the window seemed to lose its color.
After he finished speaking, suddenly, Li Zhanyan on the other side smiled, and in an instant, everything returned to a bright color.
I saw her smile and said, "Okay, let's put the problem aside first, why don't we play a game." ”
As he spoke, he took out his phone, got up, walked to Rumput, and sat down next to him. Lee's sudden proximity actually made Rumpt feel a little flattered.
Li stretched out his phone in front of him: "Mr. President, please choose one of these places!" ”
Rumpt looked at the pictures on the phone screen, which were maps of small towns, and asked, "What?" ”
Li Siyi chuckled: "An interesting game." ”
Rumpt ordered one at random, and Li Siyi said, "Well, the small town of Winston in Montana." ”
Rumpt was puzzled and asked again, "What?" ”
Li Siyi said: "This is the town chosen by Mr. President. ”
Rumpt looked at Li within reach, and couldn't help but admire, it was so perfect.
"Mr. President, California is such a welcoming place." Lee suddenly changed the subject.
"Well, the people of California are warm and kind, and it's a great place." Following Lee's words, Runtep agreed. But when it comes to California, he has a headache, and when he took office last year, California lit a fire to welcome him. This year it burned again, and the fire was getting out of control again.
Li's next words began to slap his face: "Yes, people are so enthusiastic that the forest has to be ignited by people's enthusiasm several times a year, and most of the forest fires in recent years in the United States have been ignited in California." Last year's fires caused immeasurable damage, and this year's fires are starting to strike again. If we continue like this, it won't take many years to burn all of California down. ”
I don't know how to take this, Rao is old Lampt is thick-skinned, but his face is still hot.
He laughed dryly twice, and said strongly: "California is densely forested, and it has always been the hardest hit area by fires, and there are many fires every year. But now that the fire is almost extinguished, it will be fine in no time. ”
Li Siyi looked at him sideways and said, "I heard that the fire is about to burn to Weaverville, and I heard that there are still temples in Huaxia there." So, Mr. President, I do you a small favor as a thank you for receiving me today, and we have put out the fire that belongs to Weaveville for you today. As for the area, or give our firefighters something to do, you say? ”
"Are you kidding me, Lee?" Rumpt was quite surprised, and somehow the topic changed to extinguishing the fire. More than 1,000 firefighters have now been mobilized in California to fight the fire, but to be honest, nothing has progressed. In the case of abnormal weather, extinguishing the fire seems to depend on God's mood. On the other hand, although the firefighters are well-trained, their equipment is outdated, their methods are outdated, and the firefighting system seems to be unable to keep up with the times. Although these problems are mainly caused by the governor of California, the fire has been burning and burning, and his face as the president of the Union has no glory.
But he didn't believe Li Siyi's statement at all.
"Of course not", Li Siyi seriously denied the joke. He also said with certainty: "As a Mi countryman, it is also my honor to contribute to the country when necessary." Before you leave work today, the fires in the Weaveville precinct will surely be extinguished. ”
Rumpt didn't know where her confidence came from, and if she was babbling gibberish because her request had been denied, it didn't match her appearance of rationality and calmness.
Li Siyi continued: "In addition, as a small game between us, the town of Winston, which was just lucky enough to be chosen by Mr. President, will be in the same mood as I am now, and it will continue to rain until the next time I meet Mr. President again." ”
Li Siyi stood up: "Dear Mr. President, if you decide to meet me, please call my secretary." ”
Rumpt was stunned by her words, he couldn't understand what Li Siyi meant, and was still thinking about her words. Unconsciously stood up, just because he saw the guest get up to say goodbye, out of politeness, he stood up to say goodbye.
Li Siyi stretched out his slender hand to shake hands with him and say goodbye, while shaking his mouth and still talking about the rain: "Oh, Mr. President, don't worry too much, although the rain keeps falling, it won't be a disaster." Local residents will also be the lucky ones, and they will see the most peculiar meteorological spectacle and witness the little games we play. Maybe it will become a great spectacle in the time that Mr. President is thinking. Goodbye, Mr. President. ”
When Li spoke, her slender jade hand did not withdraw and was held by him. It made him absent-minded, and until she finished speaking and turned to leave, he was still thinking about whether to give a kiss.
Looking at her departing back, the seductive back, I couldn't help but admire again, perfect, really perfect.
……
……
Not long after Li Siyi left the Oval Office in Rumput, on Weaver-Barry Road, two kilometers north of Weaverville, the capital of Trinity County, California, firefighter James Brown. Brown was anxiously waiting for the arrival of the fire engine with his companions, the forest fire was very close to them, although they could not see the fire yet, but they could already feel the heat of the fire, the wind was blowing wildly, the wind extinguishers they held were basically useless, only the fire trucks or fire helicopters could be of some use.
Their task was to suppress the fire on the northwest side of the road, and once the fire crossed the road, the residents of Weaveville would have to evacuate.
The fire truck finally came, but a cart of water was really useless, so the pipe was picked up, and the momentum of the fire going south was only slightly suppressed, and the water was gone.
There is no way, the battle line is too long, and there are too few fire trucks.
They retreated back onto the pavement.
At that moment, Brown looked up and saw a lot of clouds drifting over.
This is a good sign, if it can rain, even if it is a light rain, it can run dozens of times on top of the fire truck.
Soon, the clouds were gathering, and it looked like it was all black clouds over Weaveville, and the rain was sure to fall. Brown shouted excitedly as he called his seated companion to get up and look at the black clouds.
The black cloud quickly pushed over from Weaveville.
It was dark.
Brown and his companions watched as the black cloud approached where they were standing, and then came to the top of them. As they watched, they chanted as if begging: "Down, down, down......"
They rhythmically repeated their begging.
The black clouds quickly crossed the road, but the expected raindrops still did not fall.
They were all a little disappointed, such a dark cloud, it should have rained a long time ago. But if you look at the direction of Weaveville, the black clouds are only drifting by, and no rain is falling.
They shouted: "Down, down, down......"
Finally, above the fire, about ten meters from the road, as if the switch was suddenly turned on, heavy rain poured down.
And not a drop of rain fell from the tops of the trees above their heads, on the tops of the trees that had not yet been burned by the fire, though the black clouds themselves hung so low as if they were about to fall directly to the ground.
In an instant, the loud sound of countless rains hitting the scorching flames and boiling came over. The white mist quickly spread out.
The white mist with a scorching breath engulfed the two of Brown, and the man stood nearby, but it was no longer visible. With one breath, a large amount of water with a scorched breath filled his lungs, and Brown coughed violently.
I can't stay here anymore.
Brown stretched out his hand, groped his way up his companion, jumped off the road in three steps and two steps, and rushed forward a few more paces, finally out of the mist's sphere of influence.
Then, they found an open spot and looked at the breathtaking spectacle on the mountain.
I saw that the rain and mist were intertwined, like a solid wall of water. It was no longer clear whether the water was going to fall or to rise.
The boiling sound faded away, the nearest fire to Brown had been extinguished, the fog had dissipated, and soon they saw the pitch-black sewage flowing down from the woods pooling in the drainage ditches by the side of the road, and then quickly filling the drainage ditches and spilling onto the pavement.
Brown and his companions looked at each other's faces, grinned, and raised their palms together.
On this day, hundreds of nearly 1,000 California firefighters saw a spectacle that they would continue to tell their children and grandchildren when they were old, and the downpour of rain advanced precisely along the fire line as if they knew where there was fire, extinguishing all the wildfires in the jurisdiction of Weaverville.
……
……
Just as the fire in Weaverville, California, was pouring rain, far away in the small town of Winston, Montana.
It's a quiet, slow-paced town, and there are no more than a hundred people living in the town.
Fifty-five-year-old Andrew? Davis frowned as he listened to the rustling of the rain, he just wanted to go out. Didn't this ghost weather say that there was no rain? Why did it suddenly start raining?
He took out his phone and looked, and the weather forecast showed that it was sunny.
What's the use of this kind of weather forecast, it's just that the heavy rain and light rain can't figure it out, and the rain and rain will be wrong, it's really convincing those who use their butts to forecast the weather.
He got up and was thinking about whether to take an umbrella or run to the car in the rain, but he saw that twenty or thirty meters outside the window, the sun was still shining.
When he walked out the door, he saw that it was only on the rooftops and on the road, and there was not a trace of rain on the lawn farther away.
He closed the door, took a step, and rushed out into the rain in a few steps.
He turned around and took a few steps back, and was surprised to find that the rain had only shrouded the town in it, and a little away from the town, and a little dark cloud covered it. And farther away, the sun is still shining.
He looked at the town that was shrouded in rain and thought it was really interesting.
Slowly, he noticed that more people had rushed out of the town, standing outside the town, watching the rain fall in the town.
Some people laughed in amazement, and then more laughed.
There were children running happily outside the town along a circle surrounded by rain lines.
