The shrub family has the atmosphere of such a large family.

Let Abel have a feeling of China. Compared with ordinary Ansa people or Europeans and Americans, the proportion of people who value family is not very large.

Not to be kicked out of the house at the age of eighteen, but among the common and poor classes.

Many families are really two families as soon as they reach adulthood.

Only the middle class and the elite class will have a heavier family concept.

The shrub family has such a heavy family concept, firstly, that the family really has a "throne" to inherit.

The second is mainly Herbert's wife Barbara, who is a good family, and Herbert himself is very capable.

Under the constraints of him and his wife, the Bush family was brought together by this generation.

The previous generation is united, and the next generation grows up in this atmosphere, and the relationship is naturally not too outrageous.

This atmosphere also infected the thin-minded Smith family.

Emily even whispered to Abel, "Actually, there are more children, and it may be nice to be lively."

She already knows that she now has three grandchildren, all of whom have not yet been born

Abel didn't hide this from her.

Abel glanced at her, and wanted to speak. It just so happened that little Laura was dressed up, and he naturally stopped the topic.

There is still an hour before the dinner and cocktail party begins.

In the first lady's living room, everyone eats something in advance to cushion their stomachs.

This is also the practice of many upper-class people in Europe and the United States when they participate in cocktail parties and banquets.

Eat first and be full, at least half full. In this way, it can be avoided later in the cocktail party and banquet.

Hungry, so focused on eating, that they forget the real purpose of these drinking parties.

Eating at this kind of drinking party you are never the main thing.

The important thing has always been to socialize.

The Smiths followed suit with a bit.

After eating almost, while it was still dark.

Little Laura suggests that Emily go out for a walk, and she wants to show Emily around the White House.

Little Laura could tell that Emily was curious about it.

This is also the curiosity of most people in this country, even Abel at the beginning.

George also smiled and supported Laura's approach, and Laura took the Smiths family and left the first lady's living room.

Little Laura holds Emily's arm intimately as she tours the White House.

Alexander did not go, he appeared on the south lawn, accompanied by Abel.

There are a lot of staff on the South Lawn setting up, and a large part of the evening drinks will be held here.

Tonight I used the buffet mode of the buffet because there may be too many people coming.

If you can't stay indoors, and the weather is good today, you can simply have an outdoor cold buffet.

There is still about half an hour before the guests arrive, and the wide south lawn is not only staffed.

Abel and his son walked among them.

"I think it's ordinary." Suddenly, Alexander said, "Your grandfather's house in Houston is more beautiful to me than here."

"The attraction here is not this house. It is the power of those who live in this house."

Abel looked at his father, "Ask yourself, my father. Haven't you ever thought that one day, you'd live in here?"

….

Faced with his son's question, Alexander looked up at several buildings across the lake.

It wasn't yet completely dark, and the buildings were already lit up.

"Of course, there is. American boy, who didn't have this fantasy when he was a child?"

This is just like Huaxia, when most children were young, they once fantasized about being xxx.

"That's right." Abel stood still and whispered to his father, "I hope that one day you will be able to move in."

Alexander stopped after him and looked sideways at his son

。

A year ago, Abel would have been surprised if he said these words to him.

Abel was now talking to him these words, and Alexander was not at all surprised.

A year ago, it was in a safe house under Smith Manor.

The secret conversation between father and son had already made Alexander understand Abel's thoughts and plans.

From that time on, Alexander decided to help his son.

Then Alexander would not be surprised to hear his son say this again.

"Father." Abel suddenly whispered, "Do you think you can become a councillor next November?"

Alexander looked at him, "Next year? Won't it be too rushed. I'm even just getting used to it."

"What's this? Some of them were senior executives in some companies last month. He will become finance minister next month." Abel doesn't care about the authentic way:

"You're more experienced."

Alexander guessed that his son was talking about George's finance minister.

Even if it's far away in Texas because of his son.

Uncle Alexandre's situation in the whole country, especially the situation in the Special Administrative Region.

In this way, Alexander was naturally aware of Paul Henry O'Neill, who was said to be at odds with George and the White House lately.

Alexander pondered the possibility of his own success next year.

Abel was also thinking.

Next year is 2002, and the end of next year will be a new round of selection.

It is for this reason that Abel wants Alexander to come out next year.

Because only relying on the prestige of the Smith family in the local area, plus the support of the next bush family.

There is also Abel's investment from last year to next year, a total of two years, Abel feels that Alexander has a high probability of being elected.

And it doesn't matter if he can't be elected, he can still continue to be his county magistrate.

It won't be until the general election three years later, if you don't get elected, there will be no county magistrate.

Like George, if he lost the election last year. He could go back and continue to be his Texas governor.

It was not until December, when victory was almost certain, that George resigned from the governor's position and gave it to his deputy.

For example, if a senator or governor is in the general election.

If you are elected, you can just resign from the position of governor or senator when you are about to take office.

If you can't be elected, you can continue to be your governor or senator, and you can continue to be a governor or senator as long as your term is not over.

That's what Abel had in mind, and he wanted Daddy to try it next year.

If they succeed in becoming one of the members of the House of Representatives, then the Smith family will really start to make a name for themselves in Congress.

….

In the face of his son's eager eyes, even Alexander felt that it was too fast.

After all, at this time last year, he was just a farmer. This year, it's all the county commissioners of Tarrant.

If he succeeds next year, he will be one of the members of the National Assembly the year after.

The identity span is too large, and Daddy Smith is a little unaccustomed.

"Okay. I'll think about it." Alexander finally said this to his son.

Able chuckled.

Because Abel knew, with his father's character. He never thinks about things he doesn't want to do, and what he can think about means that he has actually agreed.

The father and son began to walk back slowly, and they met Emily and little Laura coming out of the room.

It is estimated that Emily has finished visiting the white house.

Abel estimates that it may not have been finished.

Because, according to Ms. Wales, except for the second floor.

There are many places inside here that she can't go.

It's boring.

Wales can't go, and little Laura and Emily certainly don't have anywhere to go

。

It's like the treatment of Abel during the day.

Two generations of the Smith family met in the middle of the South Lawn.

"How, my dear mother. What do you think of this house compared to our Smith Manor?" Abel said with a smile.

Emily had a smile on her face, "I'm honestly a little disappointed. There are a lot of places I can't go, it's too serious, I don't like it."

Little Laura laughed softly beside her, "This is how this place is. I lived here when I was a kid, and the only place I could play was outside!"

Emily couldn't help but look at little Laura, who was about the same height as her, and the latter smiled sweetly at her.

Emily actually liked Charlize a little more in her heart.

After all, Charlize still has Abel's child, and his belly is getting bigger and bigger.

Every time, Emily accompanied her to the check-up.

Through various means of examination, watching the child in her belly grow bigger and bigger, Emily also has a sense of participation in watching her grandson grow up.

She loves Wu and Wu, and she prefers Charlize a little more.

Little Laura has only met her for the third time today.

The first time was at a family gathering after Christmas last year.

At that time, little Laura had not yet confirmed the relationship, and the two parties were in the "blind date stage".

The second time was when little Laura took the initiative to come to the door, and Emily was very nervous at the time, worried that little Laura would ask for guilt.

Because little Laura had already been to Charlize at that time.

But Emily didn't expect little Laura to be very gentle, and didn't mention Charlize at all. Instead, they took the initiative to please Emily, which surprised Emily.

couldn't help but make Emily feel good about little Laura.

Today is the third time Emily has seen little Laura, and little Laura has been enthusiastic and active to accompany her, which makes Emily like her even more.

In addition, little Laura will obviously be the identity of her son's wife, at this time, Emily actually doesn't know whether she likes Charlize a little more, or she likes little Laura a little more.

Abel's mother was entangled in her heart.

Abel naturally didn't know this, so he beckoned his parents and little Laura to leave the South Lawn first, because the drinking party was about to begin.

….

Later, George's deputy, Cheney, and his wife will be in charge of greeting the guests outside.

Mr. and Mrs. George entertained their guests directly there.

It's also a guest, if it's just Abel and Little Laura, you can just stay here.

But now there are Alexander and his wife, and it is better to walk through the main entrance, so that you can get to know more people.

Abel didn't need it, but Alexander, who was destined to go this way, needed it.

Under the leadership of little Laura, the four of them came to the side of the road outside the cocktail party.

Taking advantage of the guests in front of him, he was talking to Cheney and his wife.

Abel took his parents and girlfriend to join the queue and walked to the main entrance of the drinking party.

Coincidentally, the guest behind Abel was Warren Buffett, one of his old acquaintances and friends.

Buffett called twice in the back, and Abel turned around and saw that it was Buffett.

"Oh, Warren is here." Abel said, "Let's wait for him."

Alexander also saw the god behind him, and he also stopped with Emily.

"Hey, how did you and Miss Bush come out of the side? Oh, this is."

Warren Buffett brought a woman about his age, and that was supposed to be his wife.

As an aside, Warren Buffett has two wives – a former wife and a current wife.

The problem is that after Warren divorced his ex-wife, his ex-wife never left.

He later took another wife.

Warren Buffett's first wife is named Susan, and his second wife is Susan's best friend!

What's more, yes. The three of them live together from beginning to end!

Abel Jue

Yes, this may also be the reason why I and Warren Buffett can talk.

Because Warren is as fraternal as he is.

It's just that Warren's body is an ordinary person's body, and there can only be two at most.

It's not like capping twenty-five at a time!

Thinking like this, Abel didn't know if this was Susan, and he smiled and introduced his family to Buffett-

"This is my father, Alexander Smith."

"This is my mother, Emily Koch Smith."

"This is Miss Laura Bush."

Warren Buffett smiled and hugged Alexander, shaking hands with Emily and Little Laura.

Abel also smiled and hugged the old woman who didn't know if it was Susan.

Because he doesn't know his identity, he is still waiting for Buffett's introduction.

"Astrid Monks Buffett." Warren Buffett smiled and introduced his wife, "My wife."

Oh, that's not my ex-wife Susan, it's my current wife and second wife.

A new guest was approaching from behind, and Able suggested going inside first.

It's always bad to get stuck in traffic jams and affect other guests.

Buffett naturally won't refuse, and the six of them went inside together.

Walking to the door of the main hall of the reception, George's deputy, Deputy Commander Cheney, greeted them with a smile.

Whether it's Warren Buffett or Abel, Cheney knows each other.

Not to mention that among them, there is also Laura Bush.

It was another simple greeting, and there were guests coming over, and Abel and the others went in first.

Entering the door is a large living room.

There were a lot of people in the living room, and the back door of the living room was wide open, and outside the door was the south lawn.

….

There were already quite a few people coming, and in the antechamber of this living room, Abel saw a few acquaintances.

Like Paulson of Goldman Sachs, Richard Fored of Lehman Brothers -

That's right, tonight's cocktail party was the main audience for the people at the meeting held by Paul Henry O'Neill that day.

In other words, the guests invited by the White House today are mainly "friends" of the American financial community.

Of course, this kind of hierarchical gathering.

Naturally, everyone knows the importance of Wall Street and finance in this country.

With so many important figures in finance gathered, who would refuse to attend as long as the members of Congress had the time and could come in.

So tonight's guests, including the female companions brought in, may exceed four or five hundred.

Even if it is a white house, there is no indoor banquet hall that is so large and can accommodate so many people.

Fortunately, the South Lawn is large enough, and the South Lawn, plus this vestibule, can accommodate almost six or seven hundred guests.

In addition, it is a buffet mode, but it is completely entertained.

With his parents and little Laura, and Abel accompanied by Warren and his wife, Abel naturally attracted more attention.

Like Paulson, he was the first to come and say hello.

Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, not to mention that the Smith family really wants to go up. It is always better to have more friends and fewer enemies.

Abel introduced again, and someone came later, he was a little annoyed, so he simply took the initiative to attack.

He took his parents for a walk, and met people he didn't know.

After a circle, Alexander, Abel's father, can be regarded as brushing his face on Wall Street, and he is finally not an unknown person in this country in the future.

At least when someone introduces Alexander Smith to him later, they'll say, "Oh, this is Abel Smith's father."

Walk around like this for half an hour.

The Buffetts have long since left to find their own circle.

So in the end, little Laura and Abel were left, and Alexander and his wife were left.

As time went by, more and more guests came.

At about seven o'clock, the George couple appeared.

The American Road to Wealth.
