Hearing that Roosevelt wanted to see him, Li Junhao's heart was indeed shaken, but there was no pause in his hands, and he still poured water and made tea smoothly.

Ailes, who was watching him next to him, nodded with satisfaction and praised secretly.

Li Junhao poured two cups of tea, held a cup to Ayrs, he picked up a cup, tasted it, nodded, this Ceylon black tea is not bad, and then asked, "Mr. Roosevelt wants to see me?" Why do you want me to be vice president? ”

"Ahem...... Ayers almost squirted the tea out of his mouth, trying to swallow the tea, but choked himself and coughed, fortunately the problem was not serious, and he coughed a few times and got his breath. Seeing Li Junhao get up to come over, he waved his hand to signal that it was okay, and took two more breaths before he said angrily: "You stinky boy, you're talking nonsense again!" ”

Li Junhao saw that he was fine, so he smiled and drank tea, but he didn't make a sound, but he thought to himself: Roosevelt has just been successfully re-elected, what are you looking for yourself?

Ayres put down his teacup and said with some seriousness: "Little Auger, next month, President Roosevelt will announce a new staff team, and I will be the national security adviser...... In fact, this is all thanks to the war situation analysis reports you wrote to me before......" As he spoke, he talked about everything that happened during the election campaign before.

Hearing that Ayres was going to be the national security adviser, Li Junhao's eyes lit up, this is a great thing!

Of course, he knows what this position means, although the name of this adviser sounds a bit of a retreat, but in fact his authority is amazingly large, and it is generally held by the person most trusted by the president, providing key advice for the president's military decision-making, and can be said to be a military adviser and think tank in the presidential team, and even if necessary, he can take over the head of the War Department, or the Navy Department, or the Joint Chiefs of Staff according to the president's authorization, and is one of the most important positions in the presidential team.

At this point, Ayres continued: "I have proposed that you be the principal assistant to the national security adviser, and the president has agreed. After saying this, he wanted to see little Og's reaction.

Li Junhao let out an "oh" and said, "Okay, isn't it just an assistant for you, no problem!" However, I don't want to leave Shanghai, and I don't expect me to work as an assistant in Washington, D.C., as I did before, and write you an analysis report once in a while...... By the way, Uncle, will I be able to get a double pay? ”

Ayers felt that it was the right thing to do before he spoke after putting down the teacup just now, otherwise he would really be angry this time - after a long time, this kid has no idea what this position represents! Originally, he wanted to explain to him, but now he feels so tired, so he still won't talk about it, drink tea!

——

That night, Li Junhao and the two guards stayed at Ayers's house, where there were enough rooms for everyone to have a good rest, and the outside guard was very thorough, so that everyone could relax and rest.

Before going to bed, Li Junhao was thinking about the conversation with Ayres just now, looking at the old man's expression, the position of "Chief Assistant to the National Security Adviser" is not as he thought before, as if it has a special meaning, but it should be that he made the old man angry, and he ignored himself! Well, ask Mrs. Brown tomorrow! ——

It should be because of the time difference, Li Junhao and the three of them did not get up early the next morning, after all, Washington was 13 hours slower than China time, and the previous flight of more than 15,000 kilometers consumed their physical strength and energy!

Li Junhao's physical fitness is much stronger than ordinary people, and he didn't wake up until almost ten o'clock, but Nick and Avne slept directly until noon. However, Afne woke up at half past eleven, but Nick slept until almost one o'clock in the afternoon, which shows that Avne's physical fitness is even stronger than Nick, which makes Li Junhao a little surprised!

Today is the weekend, and Ayres didn't go to work, of course, staying at home is not idle, and some of the documents sorted out by Mrs. Brown still need him to review and process, and it is not much easier.

Li Junhao noticed a phenomenon, that is, Mrs. Brown used to live here! Think about it for 12 years as a secretary with Ayles...... In addition, Ayers' wife seems to have died a long time ago......

Hey? There seems to be a story in this!

Yesterday it was a little late, but after getting up today, Li Junhao took a good look at this villa, the new modern architectural style of the three-story brick and wood structure, covering an area of more than 200 square meters, with a courtyard of 100 square meters in front of the house and behind the house, and the lawn is neatly maintained.

Li Junhao already knew at this time that this house was actually an official residence, not Ailes' private; The entire villa is owned by the government to house high-ranking officials whose families are out of town, the perimeter is guarded by the Marines, and the security of the villa is provided by the Department of Justice's Security Service, and the black suits are actually professional secret agents.

In this villa, in addition to Ayles, Mrs. Brown, and his personal bodyguard White, there is a cook, a maid, a gardener, and a guard and driver. It seems that the old man's life in Washington is still very good.

When he was moving in the yard, he chatted with White for a while, although the two often met in Huhai, they really didn't say a few words, but now they feel very cordial when they meet, and the chat is still very warm.

White's personality is actually very introverted, and he basically doesn't talk to people he doesn't know well, but he has known Li Junhao for a long time, and he knows his status in Ailes's mind very well, so he is naturally willing to say a few more words.

One was interested in inquiring, and the other was willing to tell him, so Li Junhao quickly learned a lot of information he wanted to know.

Ayers' wife died young, and he has a son and a daughter, both in their thirties, who live in New York after they get married, but they are able to take care of each other; The old man himself has been engaged in diplomacy for nearly a decade, mostly abroad, and has few opportunities to meet his children, which is the norm in American families.

Secretary Alyssa Brown, 41 years old, Brown is her husband's surname, her real name is Karaman, and her husband died in a car accident shortly after marriage; Alyssa did not remarry, but devoted herself to her work, from being a secretary to Ayres 12 years ago, until now, she is Ayers' most effective assistant.

Since this was the case, Li Junhao felt that it was inappropriate to call Mrs. Brown again, so he began to call her Alyssa directly when he saw her again later, and after making her surprised, he was overjoyed.

Ailes, who was next to him, noticed the title and didn't say anything, which was considered acquiescence.
