Chapter 248: DC Special District and Family Banquet
What happened during this period was a catastrophe for those small and medium-sized entertainment media.
For those paparazzi reporters who are louder, it is a prison sentence.
But for Abel, it's just the result of a few more phone calls, a few more villains, and a little more money.
As a result, all entertainment media in the United States will become particularly cautious when it comes to Abel Smith.
The paparazzi reporters who were very crazy about him before have also become particularly cautious about this.
It was also at this time that the American Sun quietly stood up in the industry and got a charter with no physical objects.
Journalists who can get a charter here can only get some kind of exemption when they report on a big person.
But on the condition that they and their newspapers, their coverage in this area, must be reviewed by the editorial board of the American Sun.
In the United States, there is indeed freedom of opinion.
But in many cases, freedom of opinion is only between the real capitalists and the gatekeepers.
The freedom of opinion of ordinary people, that is the freedom of public opinion that the upper echelons let them see.
For example, figures like Warren Buffett and Soros.
You can see the content of scolding the two of them in some American media.
But if you look closely, you will find that these contents are painless.
When it comes to really getting into scandals, or getting them serious.
Unless it is a hostile election campaign, it is impossible to report on it.
This is an unspoken rule at the top.
June 8.
Northeast United States.
Washington, D.C.
As night falls, the lights come on. The bright lights render the center of the country of DC DC beautifully.
It was about ten o'clock in the evening.
One after another, there are people from the center of the Columbia Center in Washington.
The one on this planet, the symbol of supreme power, came out of the white house.
Among those who came out were Abel and Laura Bush Lauren, who had just arrived from New York during the day.
Today is the day when the owner of the White House, little Laura's uncle, initiates the White House Dinner.
On this day, there were more than 30 people across the United States, including workers, military personnel, athletes, entertainment stars, entrepreneurs, engineers, scientists, and even housewives.
These people are invited to Washington today to attend the banquet to be held by the Grand Commander this evening.
Eleven of the more than 30 people were awarded the Grand Commander Medal of Freedom today.
Three more people were awarded the Distinguished Grand Commander Medal of Freedom.
The difference between the two is that the former has only one collar and ribbon.
The latter has a higher rank, as well as a Star and a large ribbon.
Abel, who came out of the white house, was wearing the star and big ribbon that were the envy of all Americans and would be envied by many people all over the world.
This means that he received the Distinguished Grand Commander's Medal of Freedom.
At tonight's White House dinner, there were only about 30 American people invited.
However, everyone can bring a female or male companion.
Abel's female companion is little Laura.
At the beginning of the year, Little Bush and Abel called and said that they would award him the Medal of Freedom.
It has only been awarded now, and it's not that the little bush is too procrastinating.
Every year or two, the successive commanders of the United States award this Medal of Freedom.
Often, there are many at once, and some have more than a dozen at a time.
At the time of the award, under normal circumstances, such a white house dinner would be initiated.
Gather the winners and award them together all at once.
Holding little Laura's hand, Abel walked outside, and the two talked in a low voice as they walked.
「. I think the black truffle wild mushroom soup is not bad, and it tastes delicious. But I suspect it's not wild black truffles at all, they taste a little different from the wild black truffles I've tasted."
"Maybe it's not a wild mushroom. I prefer that Colorado lamb roast with pan-fried garlic. That's all I need to eat for the whole dinner!"
"Ha~ You still ate my share."
"No way, the kitchen in the White House is too stingy. There is only one copy for one person. And you can't finish your portion."
「.」
Looking at her boyfriend's serious appearance when she said that the kitchen of the white house was stingy, little Laura was a little speechless.
She thought to herself - at such a banquet, you are probably the only one who can concentrate on eating and ignore people.
You know, this is a white house dinner!
It's one of the most wanted dinners in the world, and one of the few people in the world can attend.
Perhaps it wasn't the great delicacies that were on the table. But what goes beyond the dinner table can often determine the direction of the world.
This kind of dinner party is only a dozen or twenty times a year.
Most of them are also used to entertain foreign heads of state, as well as cabinet ministers.
The number of times ordinary people can eat is too little and too little.
But little Laura thought about it, with the energy of her own family and Abel.
And Abel's age.
As long as Abel is willing, it is estimated that he will be able to eat several times a year in the future.
This kind of banquet, which was unattainable for ordinary people, was not very difficult for Abel.
Thinking about it this way, it is understandable that he didn't do anything, just receive the medal and then eat and eat.
Chatting and chatting, the two walked out of the confines of the white house.
Outside, under the watchful eye of the Secret Service, Edward had already arrived to greet Abel in his car.
"Alright." After sending Abel here, little Laura sweetly kissed Abel on the side of the cheek, "I won't go with you."
She said, "I'll play with you tomorrow!"
"Okay." Before she came out just now, Abel knew that she would stay in the white house tonight.
Little Laura's parents also attended the banquet tonight.
Three bush bosses showed up tonight.
Little Shrub, Texas Governor's Second Little Shrub, and Little Laura's Father Three Little Shrubs.
The Bush family has all come to this banquet tonight, except for the fourth child and Herbert.
"Here." Abel gestured to the other side of his face, "Here, you can kiss it too."
Little Laura smiled and offered a fragrant kiss, but was caught by Abel, and the two made out for a while.
After making her out of breath, Abel got in the car and left.
Little Laura walked to the white house with a relaxed pace and a happy mood.
After a while, she came to a small side hall.
By this time, the White House Dinner had long since ended.
Most of the guests, like Abel, left one after another.
In this small side hall, except for a few white house staff at this time.
The rest are all members of the shrub family.
Herbert's four sons, except for the youngest son, left the United States on a business trip.
The other three are all here.
They are also here with their wives and children.
Looking at little Laura who walked in with a smile on her face and a relaxed pace.
Laura Wales, the current mistress of the white house, the first lady of the United States, said with a smile:
"Oh~ look at our cute little Lauren. She seemed so happy, even the steps she walked around, as if she were playing a "Scottish Dance"~"
The Scottish Dance is a work by Beethoven, known for its extreme dance and upbeat rhythm.
The words of the first lady made the shrubs chatting in the small side hall pay attention to little Laura.
At this time, the wife of the second uncle of little Laura, Mexican Columba Ganica, also smiled and said:
"I can see it, it's the taste of happiness. Dear little Lauren, can you share your happiness with us? Let's be as happy as you are."
The friendly teasing of the two elders made little Laura laugh herself.
She replied coquettishly, "I'm happy because everyone is here today!"
"Hahaha~" The eldest brother who is the most witty and has the most generous personality among the brothers, Little Bush took the lead and laughed.
He, one of the leaders of the Bush family, smiled, and everyone laughed kindly.
The small side hall was filled with a happy atmosphere of the members of the shrub family.
The laughter was mostly friendly and happy.
Only Columba Ganica and Jeb's daughter, little Laura's cousin Enoch Bush, was a little unhappy.
Because today, for the first time, Ainoche met Abel's real person.
She didn't expect this Abel Smith to be so tall and handsome.
The reason why she was unhappy was because such a tall and handsome Abel seemed to her that it was possible to become her future husband!
Because in the interior of the bush family, there was an idea of marrying the Smith family.
As four women in the family who are not much different in age.
Little Laura and Inoche, as well as Little Bush's twin daughters, Barbara and Jenna, are all objects to choose from.
Because they were twins, and the little bush had already won the election at that time.
The identities of the two of them are more sensitive, and the twin sisters are passed.
The only people who will be used to marry the Smith family are Ainosh and Little Laura.
At that time, Inoche felt that it was probably himself.
In her opinion, little Laura is still a little small.
Little Laura was only sixteen years old, and she was less than sixteen years old at the time.
Ainoche is exactly the same age as Abel, and his age is the most suitable.
As a result, after the family asked the two for their opinions, it turned out that the grandfather Herbert asked for little Laura to marry each other.
Inos was very angry, but he didn't dare to lose his temper with his elders.
In the end, it was only after Christmas, during the fellowship between the Smiths and the Bushes that Ainoche deliberately lost his temper and did not participate.
She is not the heroine of the marriage of Little Laura, she didn't go, and the family didn't force her at that time.
Abel didn't see Inosh that day, and Anosh didn't see him.
But today, Ainos met Abel, who was holding little Laura's hand and attending a dinner party in the White House.
At first sight.
The tall and handsome Abel made Abel's mentality a little unbalanced.
At this moment, Inosh looked at his cousin who was surrounded by everyone with some jealousy.
Thanks to Herbert's tutoring, and most importantly, Barbara Sr.'s family restraints.
In addition, the shrub family, which was originally a very traditional Protestant Puritan family, attached great importance to family members and intra-family relationships.
This also makes the members of the shrub family have a good relationship with each other.
At this moment, little Laura is being teased by two female elders.
Even the two male elders will say a word or two from time to time.
and little Laura's own parents, who were also smiling and watching from the side.
Except for Inoche, who sulked beside him, the bushes were all happy at this moment.
On Abel's side, after little Laura left, he sat in the car.
The car made a few turns, and soon there was a vehicle behind it, coming over to form a convoy with his car.
At this time, he was at the center of power in the kingdom.
Washington District of Columbia, which is basically referred to as DC District in the United States.
Not Warner's DC.
In the world, it is often referred to as Huadu and Huadu
is the capital of the United States of America.
It is located near Virginia and Maryland, located in the northeastern part of the United States, in the Mid-Atlantic region, and is a special administrative division established as the capital in 1790 and under the direct jurisdiction of the United States Congress, so it does not belong to any state in the United States.
It has a small area, only more than 170 square kilometers and a population of hundreds of thousands.
It is home to most of the U.S. federal agencies and embassies in the U.S.
It is also home to the headquarters of international organizations such as the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the Organization of American States.
Then again, it doesn't matter if it's the original Abel or the current Abel.
So far, it was the first time I had come to DC.
It's late at night, and I have an appointment with little Laura tomorrow.
Abel didn't leave the DC D.C. and simply stayed here.
He stayed at the Waldorf Astoria in DC, D.C., a top five-star hotel.
It is so luxurious that it is only a kilometer or two away from the white house, and the straight-line distance is only separated by a large lake, and the white house is on the other side of the big lake.
At the same time, this hotel is also one of the most preferred hotels for a large number of foreign nationals who come to Washington and do not stay at the embassy.
Abel was suspicious of this hotel so close to the White House.
It may even be in the foreground, disguised by FBl or ClA agents.
Otherwise, the guests staying at this hotel.
You can even swim directly across the lake to the white house opposite.
Abel lives, naturally, is the congressional suite on the top floor, which is about $10,000 a night.
The standard of service and amenities is as Waldorf Astoria as ever.
There's not much else to say.
Because he was in DC, Abel always felt that he was surrounded by cameras, bugs, and agents from various agencies.
This made him not even make more phone calls after moving in.
After checking into the hotel, he first ran on the treadmill in his room for a while.
Then wash up and fall asleep peacefully.
The next day, his biological clock woke him up early, after exercising and washing up in his suite.
He didn't eat breakfast either, and soon in front of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in D.C., he was in a Secret Service car sent out by the White House.
After recognizing the identity of this car, even Abel was a little surprised.
Because the car sent by the white house to pick him up has a nickname, it is called "No. 1 car".
This is a modified Cadillac model, which was identified as the Grand Commander by the White House in 1993, and has been equipped with many safety devices to protect the safety of the driver and passengers.
The difference is the real No. 1 car, which will have a flag on it like a red flag.
The No. 1 car that came to pick up Abel, the place where it planted its flag was empty.
It may be that I am afraid that the impact will not be good, and it is not necessary to pull down the flag in advance.
After all, on the outside, if you don't plant a flag, it looks like a Cadillac car with modified tires.
Abel saw that the one who came to pick him up was Marcus, who was more familiar, and the security director of the little bush.
Abel also explained a few words to Edward, and then got into the No. 1 car.
Protected by two other Cadillac SUVs, Car No. 1 left the Waldorf Astoria Hotel and slowly drove into the white house, which was not far away.
Turning around in the courtyard of the garden of the sprawling white house, car number one finally came to a doorway.
Marcus came over to open the door for Abel and said respectfully, "Mr. Smith, please go this way. The Grand Commander and Mr. and Mrs. Bush, and Miss Bush are waiting for you."
Abel patted Marcus lightly, and suddenly whispered to him, "If you retire in the future, you can consider coming to the rock security work." Edward has already told me."
Marcus was stunned, then looked surprised.
Marcus said, "I will, I will, thank you very much, Smith
Raw."
"But until then, I want you to protect Lauren. She's my lover, keeping her safe and being part of the job of the rock security." Abel said with a smile to Marcus.
Marcus smiled and said, "I understand that Miss Lauren is also my safer."
"Alright. Excuse me, Marcus, take me in now. I haven't eaten breakfast yet, I'm already hungry."
"Oh oh ~ this way, please, Mr. Smith." Marcus hurried to lead the way.
The leader of this secret service team is obviously familiar with the inner workings of the White House.
After a while, Marcus took Abel to a small dining room.
In this dining room, there is a long, long table.
The long table is covered with a white cloth and filled with a variety of Western-style tableware.
On either side of the long table, when Abel entered, it was already full of members of the Bush family.
The little bush sat on the main seat, and Abel was talking to his second brother Jeb when he came in.
As soon as he saw Abel coming in, George even looked up and beckoned to Abel directly:
"Hey, Abel, it's finally here. We're all waiting for you, hurry up. You didn't come, little Lauren wouldn't let us move! If you don't come again, we'll all starve!"
Little Laura, who was sitting at her mother's hand, immediately whispered, "I didn't."
"Hahaha~"
To George's happy laughter, Able was seated next to little Laura.
Just across the street is the Anosh Bush.
Once seated, Able looked around.
It was found that in addition to the small family of the fourth bush, there were also Herberts and others who did not come.
Today's breakfast is a small internal gathering of the bush family.
Obviously, looking at this scene, the bush family has now regarded Abel as their internal member.
As soon as Abel came, the morning began.
The content of breakfast is actually no different from those Americans with well-to-do families outside.
It's sandwiches, eggs, milk, slices of bread, petit fours and sausages.
Everyone ate the same with relish.
Americans don't pay attention to food, and when the bush family gathers for breakfast, they also talk their own words.
Like George, he has been chatting with the second and third brothers sitting on his left and right.
From a short distance, what Abel could hear was that their conversation was basically related to the business of Florida and Neil.
On Abel's side, he was also talking softly to little Laura.
Originally, he wrote more than 2,000 words of white X
The dinner, which was later found dangerous, was deleted and rewritten, and it is like this.
