Chapter 1231 The victory of the chief of staff
Li Mu and Wei Lan stayed in Kerry's room for a few minutes before they came out and headed straight for the airport. Before the person arrived at the airport, the news had already been sent back to the White House. The chief of staff suddenly felt completely relieved and felt particularly comfortable.
Li Mu's behavior proved that he was completely correct in his control of him and the whole thing. After analyzing Li Mu's attitude correctly, he also chose the best and most labor-saving solution.
Other staff members and consultants around praised the chief of staff's wise decision. They thought it would make everyone anxious and busy, but the chief of staff members solved the problem perfectly by just writing a little article on the air traffic control.
A presidential adviser couldn't help but exclaim: "The chief of staff's move is really amazing. He easily solved the whole thing. Kerry flew from Washington from afar, but only met Li Mu for five minutes. Now he is probably depressed!"
The chief of staff laughed and said, "Flying back and forth for seven or eight hours, just to see Li Mu for five minutes. Kerry probably hates Li Mu the one he most now."
As he said that, the chief of staff said again: "By the way, you must keep an eye on Li Mu, make sure he arrives at the airport, make sure he gets on the plane, make sure he takes off, and report to me in time if there is any latest situation."
"clear!"
One person asked him: "Chief of Staff, when will we send someone to China to contact Li Mu?"
The chief of staff said: "I will report to the President now to see if he has recommended candidates. It is more sensitive to going to China to meet Li Mu. It is not appropriate to send people from the White House. It would be best if the president has better candidates outside the White House system. Go over as a private person and convey his intentions instead of the president."
Afterwards, all Li Mu's movements in the United States were within the White House's surveillance range. The White House controlled Li Mu's every move without any delay, thousands of kilometers away.
At 6 pm, Li Mu arrived at the airport and quickly checked through the VIP channel;
At 6:20, Li Mu took the business car prepared by the airport to a high-end business user and quickly went to the business apron;
At 6:30, Li Mu boarded the business jet that he had been renting these days;
At six forty, the hatch door closed and pushed out, entering the queue and takeoff sequence;
At about seven o'clock, the plane soared into the air on the Los Angeles airport runway and flew westward, with its destination in Yanjing.
After Li Mu's plane took off, the White House think tanks were completely relieved. At about the same time, Kerry came out of the hotel in Los Angeles alone with a lonely expression. Agent Cia took a big close-up of his expression and then sent back to the White House. Kerry's depressed and lonely appearance was printed out by a White House staff member with a color spray printer, made into a mask and put on his face, and became a joke for the entire staff member for a while.
After hearing about the entire process of the chief of staff handling this crisis, President Bush praised his operation method. In his original words, this is a very wise solution, a typical way to achieve a big leap.
The president's praise is the greatest praise and reward for the chief of staff. Then the chief of staff expressed his next plan and said: "Your Excellency the President, from the matters against the Keen family this time, it can be seen that Li Mu's influence in the Western world is already very great, and he has an unparalleled advantage in information dissemination. I believe Kerry also took this interest and went thousands of miles to meet Li Mu. So I think that for the sake of security, we should also seek Li Mu's support. Whether it is seeking re-election in this term or seeking greater development after successful re-election, Li Mu is a very high-quality partner!"
The president nodded in agreement and smiled: "Li Mu's argument with the Keen family this time seems to have a great impact on the Keen family?"
The chief of staff nodded and said, "Paul Keane is still fighting stubbornly. In order to excuse his son, he wrote an article and published it, taking all the responsibilities on his own. He also found a Silicon Valley lobbyist to send a message to Li Mu, hoping to shake hands with Li Mu and make peace. However, I received the news, Li Mu had clearly rejected him."
The president laughed: "In terms of capital strength, after so many years of hard work, the Keen family can enter the first-line family sequence except for the four major families. But now it seems that their efforts over the years are about to be vain again, offending Li Mu, causing such a big scandal, and wanting to become a member of the front-line Lub is already a dream."
The chief of staff agreed and said: "Yes, the Keen family's desire to go to a higher level is probably ruined."
As he said that, the chief of staff remembered something and said, "By the way, President, I heard before that the reason why Paul Keane completely angered Li Mu was because he went to the airport to stop Li Mu's plane and boarded the plane to threaten and tempt Li Mu, but he didn't expect to make Li Mu angry."
The president shook his head and smiled, "Paul Keane is really not ordinary stupid. He can offend Li Mu in order to accumulate some resume capital for his son. He didn't think about it. Li Mu became an Internet giant in less than two years. How could such a capable person be controlled by him? If Li Mu's things were so easy to grab, Li Mu would not have achieved the same achievements as he has today."
The chief of staff nodded: "Yes, it is said that he brought a senator to pretend, but Li Mu didn't buy it at all."
"Senator?" the president couldn't help asking, "What's going on, let me introduce it."
The chief of staff said: "Maybe he wanted to show his political strength with Li Mu, so he took a senator to stop Li Mu's plane."
The president's expression suddenly became much ugly, and he blurted out: "This stupid donkey! If Li Mu attacked him for public power and private use, it would be a huge blow to the reputation of our government!"
The chief of staff said: "Li Mu did not expose the Senator's affairs, he should have considered it."
The president said: "It is precisely because he has not been exposed yet that I scolded Paul Keane. If Li Mu exposed this, I will have the heart to kill Paul Keane."
After saying that, the president said: "You go and contact the head of the Keen family directly and tell him that if Paul Keen takes the Senator to stop Li Mu's plane and leak it, the Keen family will be completely removed from the Republican Party. No matter what method he uses, I must ensure this for me, otherwise I will not be able to spare him!"
"Okay." said the chief of staff: "I'll go and talk to Todd Keane later."
As the chief of staff of the entire White House, he has a very detailed understanding of most large families in the United States. These families can provide the money and manpower required for the election when they are running. Not to mention anything else, in terms of campaign funds, they basically rely on these big families for help. However, this does not hinder the president's absolute status in these families. There are not many families that can afford the president, and they are also core members of the four big families.
The chief of staff said again: "His Excellency President, we will cooperate with Li Mu next time. Who do you think will be better for us to go to China to communicate with him?"
The president hesitated and said, "I have a college classmate who is very suitable for this. I will call him to see if he can take a photo of China for me."
...
Twelve hours later, the plane Li Mu was riding landed at Yanjing International Airport. Due to the jet lag, Li Mu took off at 7 pm local time on the sand desiccating plane. When he landed in Yanjing, it was ten pm the next day in Chinese time.
Since the rest on the plane was not very good, after the twelve hours of flight, everyone was a little tired. Li Mu and Wei Lan returned to the villa of Ziyun Villa together, preparing to take advantage of this tiredness to take a good rest and have a good sleep and get up tomorrow morning, so that they don’t even have to fall off.
On the way back to the villa, Li Mu said to Wei Lan: "I will go to see Chen Ze tomorrow and communicate with him about my uncle's affairs. I rarely deal with officials, so I will ask him to learn from the scriptures, and then I will go to the Shanghai Stock Exchange to try to get things done."
The first thing Li Mu did after landing was to help his father solve the problem, which made Wei Lan feel particularly warm. He just wanted to bury his head in Li Mu's arms like a cared woman. But because there was a driver and bodyguard, she just thanked him very gratefully and asked him: "I'll go with you. I'm clearer about many details of this matter than you."
Li Mu shook his head and said, "If you ask for help, it is best for anyone to owe someone to show up. Since I want to exchange for favors for this matter, it would be better for me to go by myself. Otherwise, if I take you to ask for help, if the other party agrees to help, he will not only feel that I owe someone else, but also feel that you owe someone else. So it is better for me to communicate with him face to face directly. After the matter is resolved, he will never think that you owe him anything."
Wei Lan felt that what Li Mu said made sense. If Li Mu really brought him to talk to him about his father at the dinner table or on the tea table, the favors he brought in on the spot were indeed two kinds of, which was not as simple and direct as he would come alone.
So Wei Lan said, "Then I will accompany you to the Shanghai Stock Exchange. I won't go with you when doing the business."
"OK."
Back at Ziyun Villa, Li Mu took a hot bath. Although he was tired, he couldn't sleep no matter how much he was. Although it had been a long time since the press conference held in Hollywood yesterday, the appearance of those veterans still circling in his mind. He had to do a charity plan for veterans at the beginning, but he didn't find anyone who could fully entrust. Now it's time to think about this problem.
Wei Lan, who was lying in Li Mu's arms, felt that Li Mu had not fallen asleep. She looked up at his side face and asked, "What are you thinking?"
Li Mu said: "I thought about something I started thinking about when I was in the United States yesterday."
