Chapter 1231 The Victory of the Chief of Staff

As soon as Li Mu and Wei Lan stayed in Kerry's room for a few minutes, they came out and went straight to the airport. Before the people arrived at the airport, the news had already been sent back to the White House. The chief of staff suddenly felt completely relieved, and his mood was particularly comfortable. .

Li Mu's behavior proved that his control over him and the whole thing was completely correct. He analyzed Li Mu's attitude and chose the best and most labor-saving solution.

The other staff members and advisors around him praised the Chief of Staff for his wise decision-making. They thought it would be an unexpected event that would make everyone scrambled and in a hurry. As a result, the Chief of Staff just made a brief comment on the air traffic control and solved it perfectly.

A presidential adviser couldn't help but admire: "The chief of staff's trick is really too powerful. The whole thing was easily solved. Kerry flew all the way from Washington, and only met Li Mu five times. In a few minutes, I'm afraid I'm going to die of depression now!"

The chief of staff laughed and said: "Flying back and forth for seven or eight hours, just to see Li Mu for five minutes, I am afraid that Kerry hates Li Mu the most now."

After speaking, 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 Huaxia to contact Li Mu?"

The chief of staff said: "I will report to His Excellency the President now to see if he has any recommended candidates. The matter of going to Huaxia to meet Li Mu is more sensitive, and it is not appropriate to send someone from the White House. A good candidate is the best, go there in a private capacity and convey his intentions on behalf of the president."

Afterwards, all Li Mu's movements in the United States were within the monitoring range of the White House. The White House was separated by thousands of kilometers and controlled Li Mu's every move without any delay.

At 6:00 pm, Li Mu arrived at the airport and went through the VIP channel for quick security check;

At 6:20, Li Mu took a commercial vehicle prepared by the airport for high-end business users and quickly went to the apron of the business jet;

At 6:30, Li Mu boarded the business jet that he had been renting these days;

At 6:40, the hatch was closed and pushed out, entering the queue for takeoff;

At seven o'clock, the plane took off on the runway of Los Angeles Airport and flew all the way west to 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 with a lonely expression. The CIA agent took a big close-up of his expression, and then sent it back to the White House. It was printed out and made into a mask to wear on the face, which became a joke for the entire staff for a while.

After hearing about the whole process of the chief of staff's handling of this crisis, President Bush greatly praised his operation method. In his original words, it was a very wise solution, and it was a typical four-two-point effort.

The president's praise is the biggest praise and reward for the chief of staff, and then the chief of staff said his next plan, saying: "Your Excellency, it can be seen from Li Mu's incident against the Keene family this time, Li Mu's influence in the Western world is now very large, and he has an unparalleled advantage in information dissemination. I believe Kerry also took a fancy to this point before he traveled a long way to meet Li Mu, so I think we are safe. , we should also win the support of Li Mu, whether it is seeking re-election this term or seeking greater development after a successful re-election, Li Mu is a very high-quality partner!"

The president nodded in agreement and said with a smile: "Li Mu's debate with the Keen family this time seems to have a great influence on the Keen family?"

The chief of staff nodded and said: "Paul Keane is still fighting. In order to absolve his son, he wrote an article and published it. He took all the responsibility on himself, and found a Silicon Valley company. The lobbyist went to talk to Li Mu, hoping to shake hands with Li Mu to make peace, but I got the news that Li Mu has clearly rejected him."

The president laughed: "In terms of capital strength, after so many years of hard work, the Keen family has been able to enter the first-tier family sequence except for the four major families, but now it seems that their efforts over the years will come to nothing. Offending Li Mu, causing such a big scandal, and wanting to be a member of the first-line club, is already a dream."

The chief of staff said in agreement: "Yes, the Keen family's desire to go to the next level is probably gone."

After speaking, the chief of staff remembered something and said again: "By the way, Your Excellency, 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. I coerced and lured Li Mu for a while, but I didn't expect to make Li Mu annoyed instead."

The president shook his head and smiled: "Paul Keane is really not an ordinary fool. In order to accumulate some resume capital for his son, he would not hesitate to offend Li Mu. He didn't think about it. Li Mu became an Internet giant in less than two years, so capable. How could it be possible for a person to be controlled by him, if Li Mu's things were so easy to grab, Li Mu wouldn't be able to have such an achievement today."

The chief of staff nodded: "Yes, it is said that he also 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, tell me."

The chief of staff said, "Maybe he wanted to show Li Mu his political strength, so he stopped Li Mu's plane with a senator."

The president's expression suddenly became a lot ugly, and he blurted out: "This stupid donkey! If Li Mu attacks his public power for private use, it will be a great blow to the reputation of our government!"

The chief of staff said, "Li Mu didn't expose the senator's affairs. He must have considered it."

The president said: "It is precisely because he has not been exposed that I scolded Paul Keane. If Li Mu exposed this matter, I would have killed Paul Keane."

After that, the president said again: "You go directly to the person in charge of the Keane family and tell him that if Paul Keane with the senator to stop Li Mu's plane leaks, the Keene family will be completely removed from the Republican Party, I don't care. What method does he use, he must ensure this for me, otherwise I can't spare him!"

"Okay." The chief of staff said, "I'll go and call Todd Keane later."

As the chief of staff of the entire White House, he has a detailed understanding of the vast majority of large families in the United States. These families can provide the money and manpower needed for the campaign during the campaign. If nothing else, in terms of campaign funds, Basically, it all depends on the help of these big families, but this does not prevent the president's absolute status in these families. There are very few families that can offend the president, and they are all core members of the four major families.

The chief of staff said again: "Your Excellency President, we will cooperate with Li Mu next. Who do you think would be better for him to go to Huaxia to communicate with him?"

The president hesitated for a while and said, "I have a college classmate who is very suitable for this. I will give him a call to see if he can take a picture of Huaxia for me."

...

Twelve hours later, Li Mu's plane landed at Yanjing International Airport. Due to the time difference, Li Mu took off at 7:00 pm local time of the shakeout machine, and landed in Yanjing on the second night of China time. ten o'clock.

Since the rest on the plane was not very good, after the 12-hour flight, everyone was a little tired, so Li Mu and Wei Lan returned to the villa in Ziyun Villa together, ready to take advantage of this tiredness and hurry up again. Take a good rest, get a good night's sleep, get up in the morning, and you don't even need to fall off the jet lag.

On the way back to the villa, Li Mu said to Wei Lan with a tired face: "Tomorrow I will go to see Chen Ze and talk to him about my uncle. I rarely deal with officials, so I asked him to learn from him, and then I went to Shanghai. City, try to get Uncle's business done."

The first thing Li Mu did after landing was to help his father solve the problem, which made Wei Lan feel extra warm. He just wanted to bury his head in Li Mu's arms like a little woman who was being cared for, but it was because the driver and bodyguard were there. She just thanked him very gratefully, and then asked him, "I'll go with you. I know many details of this matter better than you."

Li Mu shook his head and said, "For things like asking someone to do things, it's best to show up who owes favors. Since I want to exchange favors for this matter, it would be better if I 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 others favors, but also that you owe favors to others, so it is better for me to communicate with him face-to-face directly, so that after the matter is resolved, he will never think that you are I owe him nothing."

Wei Lan felt that what Li Mu said made sense. If Li Mu really brought him to talk to each other about his father at the dinner table or the tea table, the favor on the spot would indeed be twofold, it would not be as simple and direct as he came alone. .

So Wei Lan said, "Then I'll accompany you to the Shanghai market. I won't go with you when I'm doing business."

"Row."

Back at Ziyun Villa, Li Mu took a hot bath. Although he was tired, he couldn't fall asleep. Although it had been a long time since the press conference in Hollywood yesterday, he still had those things in his mind. The appearance of a veteran, he had planned to do a charity plan for veterans at the beginning, but he couldn't find someone who could fully entrust it at that time. Now it is time to think about this issue.

Wei Lan, who was lying in Li Mu's arms, felt that Li Mu had not fallen asleep. He looked up at his profile and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Li Mu said: "I was thinking about something that I started to think about when I was in the United States yesterday."

After speaking, Li Mu said again: "I want to create a welfare project similar to the immortality of veterans, which is specially used to fund the anti-Japanese veterans who are facing difficulties in life across the country. What do you think?"
