Chapter 1,712 Do You Really Want to Choose?

By the time I finished talking to Li Xiaobin about the election campaign and the subsequent direction of governance, a long time had passed unknowingly, and the atmosphere at the scene was completely heated.

People sang and danced, and the reserve and image of the past, as well as the rebellion and indulgence imprisoned in their hearts, were all released at this time.

Seeing a group of people circling the dance floor, Li Zitao was about to join in the fun, but was stopped by Annie.

"Boss, General Eisenhower and Secretary Marshall are here." As he spoke, Li Zitao had already seen the two people walking not far away.

Taking the initiative to stand up, Li Zitao greeted him with open hands and a bright smile.

"My friend, I'm glad you came. I thought you had already gone on vacation." After hugging Marshall, Li Zitao turned a blind eye to Eisenhower beside him.

In the past, Eisenhower would have shown a gloomy expression of displeasure even if he didn't have an attack.

But now he could watch the two chatting with each other without changing his expression, as if he was not aware of the embarrassment in the air at all.

I have to say that there is a big difference between him as a soldier and him as a politician.

"I really want to take a vacation, but something always comes and gives me a headache." Marshall said in distress, shaking his head.

"You should let them go to the government, to the people who are in office, otherwise what's the point of their existence?"

Li Zitao said, putting his arm around his shoulders affectionately and leading him towards his seat.

"This season is perfect for winter hunting, or else go to Hawaii to bask in the sun."

"I have vacation villas in Cascade Resort and Hawaii. They have 24-hour butler service and the maids will take care of everything. I can arrange it now."

Li Zitao seems to be planning to make arrangements for Marshall directly, so that he can go on a happy vacation, enjoy his old age in peace, and stop worrying about these troublesome things.

"I'm already moved, Charlie..." Marshall smiled, looked at Eisenhower and said; "But, we have to wait until you and David finish talking."

"David?" Li Zitao looked at Eisenhower and said in surprise: "Do we have anything to talk about? He is a Morgan employee now. Who in the United States dares to despise his opinions."

"Don't be like this, Charlie." Marshall said soothingly: "Listen to what he has to say first, and then make a decision after listening. This is my rule of thumb."

Li Zitao shrugged indifferently, leaned back on the sofa, crossed his right leg on his left knee, and reached out to take the whiskey handed over by Annie.

"Charlie, I'm here to apologize for what happened last time." Eisenhower's attitude was very low, and he apologized directly without any excuse.

This actually made Li Zitao look at him high.

If they continue to deny everything and treat people like fools, there will really be nothing left to talk about between them.

"So?" Li Zitao opened his eyes, looked at him and smiled: "What are you saying so much to express, are you apologizing?"

"If it's just an apology, I get it."

Seeing his indifferent performance, Eisenhower's expression changed and he said solemnly: "Charlie, we have known each other for 20 years."

Li Zitao looked at him playfully and thought to himself, 'Is this going to start to be sensational? ’

Sure enough, Eisenhower began to recall the first meeting between the two, the initial pleasant cooperation and mutual assistance, and the various contacts since then...

Li Zitao felt sleepy after hearing this.

Even a little nauseous.

They are not confidants. From the beginning of their cooperation, the two parties have used each other, and there is no simple friendship.

Eisenhower needed him to solve the problems of retired soldiers. Li Zitao happened to be short of manpower and needed to establish relationships with the military.

To put it bluntly, they are working together to get what they need.

So what is there to stir up emotions and memories?

Li Zitao really can't do it!

"Charlie, I have always cherished this friendship, but sometimes I have to make some compromises and choices... I think you have also experienced it and can understand."

As soon as Eisenhower finished speaking, he couldn't wait to pick up the cup and drank the wine in the cup.

But looking at Li Zitao's indifferent expression, Eisenhower was full of frustration.

His mouth was dry and his throat was about to smoke when he said all this, but the other party didn't express his position at all, which was really disappointing.

Seeing that Li Zitao didn't express anything and was still tasting the whiskey in the glass with relish, Marshall had no choice but to speak.

"Charlie, misunderstandings occasionally occur between friends, but some things just need to be discussed... You have been friends for 20 years."

When Marshall spoke, Li Zitao could no longer pretend that he didn't hear.

Putting down the glass, he smiled and said, "I think there is no misunderstanding, we are good friends."

Marshall and Eisenhower both had smiles on their faces.

However, Li Zitao continued: "However, as David said, sometimes people have to make some choices and pay the price for these choices."

"Don't worry about being your president!" Li Zitao stood up and said condescendingly: "I won't do anything because of what happened before, but..."

"Morgan and Li are not friends. If you have to make a choice because of the interests arising from the business."

Li Zitao smiled sarcastically: "David, I hope you can understand my helplessness by then."

"Charlie!" Marshall stood up quickly.

Without giving him a chance to speak, Li Zitao put his arms around his shoulders and walked forward, saying enthusiastically as he walked; "I think Hawaii is more suitable for you, with suitable weather, relaxed environment, sunshine, beaches... If necessary, I'll call you again." Find some bikini girls, are you okay now? Haha——"

Talking and laughing, they 'kidnapped' Marshall and left, leaving Eisenhower with a livid face behind, slamming his clenched fists on the table.

"Do you have to do this? Charlie." Almost his whole body was lifted up, and only his toes were on the ground, pretending to be walking freely. Marshall smiled helplessly.

I couldn't help but be surprised in my heart: 'This guy's power is really a monster! ’

"Don't be so surprised, Marshall." Li Zitao said with a smile, "Didn't you expect it a long time ago?"

Marshall was silent for a moment and sighed: "Yes, after all, he..."

"That was his own choice, so you don't have to be a peacemaker anymore, Marshall. You have to pay the price for being a good guy who makes mistakes."

Marshall smiled heartily and said: "Haha, I am already an old man half buried in the soil, what else do I need to worry about."

"But you still have children and grandchildren, and they will also have children, and the children and grandchildren will continue to multiply, right?"

Seeing his expression become sharp, Li Zitao waved his hand and said, "Marshall, my old friend, this is not a threat, but a well-intentioned advice from a friend."

"You must know that you are involved in a battle between two financial monsters based on a consortium. Your actions can easily be misunderstood as choosing a side."

"If you choose Eisenhower, it means you have chosen the wealthy man behind him. Do you really want to do this? Marshall——"
