Chapter 1231 The Chief of Staff's Victory

Li Mu and Wei Lan stayed in Kerry's room for a few minutes and then went straight to the airport. Before they arrived at the airport, the news had already been sent back to the White House. .

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

The other staff and consultants around all praised the wise decision of the chief of staff. They thought it would be an unexpected incident that would cause everyone to be overwhelmed and confused. In the end, the chief of staff just made a fuss about the air traffic control and solved it perfectly.

A presidential adviser couldn't help admiring: "The chief of staff's trick is really powerful, and it solved the whole thing with ease. Kerry flew all the way from Washington, only to meet with Li Mu for five days. Minutes later, I'm afraid I'm going to die of depression now!"

The chief of staff laughed loudly 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 most now."

As he said that, the chief of staff said again: "By the way, you have to 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 the President now to see if he has any recommended candidates. The matter of going to Huaxia to meet Li Mu is more sensitive. It is not appropriate to send someone from the White House. If the President has more information outside the White House system It’s best to have a good candidate, go 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, controlling Li Mu's every move almost without any delay.

At 6:00 p.m., Li Mu arrived at the airport and went through a quick security check through the VIP channel;

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

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

At 6:40, the cabin door is closed and pushed out, entering the queuing sequence for takeoff;

At exactly seven o'clock, the plane took off on the runway of Los Angeles Airport and flew westward to Yanjing.

After Li Mu's plane took off, the think tanks of the White House 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 When it was sent back to the White House, Kerry's dejected and lonely appearance was printed out by a White House aide with a color jet printer and made into a mask to wear on his face, which became the laughing stock of the entire aide.

After President Bush heard about the whole process of the chief of staff's handling of the crisis, he greatly praised his operation method. In his own words, this is a very wise solution, which is a typical way of making decisions.

The president's praise is the greatest praise and reward for the chief of staff, and then the chief of staff stated his next plan, saying: "Your Excellency, from Li Mu's incident against the Keen family this time, we can see that, Li Mu's influence in the Western world is already very large now, and he has an unparalleled advantage in information dissemination. I believe that Kerry also took a fancy to this and traveled thousands of miles to meet Li Mu. So I think we just want to be on the safe side , we should also seek Li Mu's support, whether it is seeking re-election this term or seeking greater development after re-election, Li Mu is a very high-quality partner!"

The president nodded in agreement, and said with a smile: "The dispute between Li Mu and 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 stubbornly resisting. In order to excuse his son from responsibility, he wrote an article and published it. He took all the responsibilities on himself and found a Silicon Valley The lobbyist went to spread a message to Li Mu, hoping to shake hands with Li Mu and make peace.

But I got the news that Li Mu had 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-line family sequence other than the four major families, but now it seems that their efforts over the years will come to naught again. Offending Li Mu, causing such a big scandal, and wanting to become a member of the first-line club is already a dream."

The chief of staff agreed, "That's right, the Keen family's wish to go to the next level may have been wiped out."

As he said that, the chief of staff thought of 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 tried to coerce and lure Li Mu, but I didn't expect to piss off Li Mu instead."

The president shook his head and smiled: "Paul Keane is really not ordinary stupid. He didn't hesitate to offend Li Mu in order to accumulate some experience capital for his son. He didn't even think about it. It took Li Mu less than two years to become an Internet giant. If Li Mu's things are so easy to grab, it is impossible for Li Mu to have the achievements he has today."

The chief of staff nodded: "Yes, it is said that he even brought a senator to pretend at that time, but Li Mu didn't buy it at all."

"Senator?" The president couldn't help asking: "What's going on, let me introduce you."

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

The president's expression suddenly turned ugly, and he blurted out: "This stupid ass! If Li Mu attacks him for using public power for private purposes, it will be a huge blow to the reputation of our government!"

The chief of staff said: "Li Mu didn't expose the matter of the senator. He should have thought about it."

The president said: "It is precisely because he has not been exposed that I scold Paul Keane. If Li Mu exposes this matter, I have the heart to kill Paul Keane."

After all, the president said again: "You go directly to the person in charge of the Keene family and tell him that if Paul Keane and the senator stopped Li Mu's plane and leaked it, 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 will not be able to spare him!"

"Okay." The chief of staff said, "I'll make a phone call with Todd Keane later."

As the chief of staff of the entire White House, he has a detailed understanding of most of the large families in the United States. These families can provide the money and manpower needed for the campaign during the campaign. Among other things, in terms of campaign funds, Basically, they have to rely on the help of these big families, but this does not hinder the absolute status of the president in these families. There are not many families that can provoke the president, and they are all core members of the four big families.

The chief of staff said again: "Your Excellency, for our next cooperation with Li Mu, who do you think would be better for us to go to Huaxia to communicate with him?"

The president hesitated for a moment, and said: "I have a college classmate who is very suitable for this job. I will call him and see if he can take a photo of Huaxia for me."

...

Twelve hours later, Li Mu's plane landed at Yanjing International Airport. Because of the time difference, Li Mu took off at 7:00 p.m. local time on the shakeout machine, and it was the second night in China time when he landed in Yanjing. 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 went back to the villa in Ziyun Villa, ready to take advantage of this tiredness, and hurry up again. Take a good rest, get a good night's sleep and wake up tomorrow morning without 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 will ask him to learn from him, and then I will go to Shanghai. City, try to get things done with uncle."

The first thing Li Mu did after he landed was to help his father solve the problem, which made Wei Lan's heart very warm. She just wanted to bury her head in Li Mu's arms like a cared-for little woman, but because of the presence of the driver and bodyguards, She just thanked him very gratefully, and then asked him: "I'll go with you, I know a lot of details about this matter better than you."

Li Mu shook his head and said: "For things like asking for help, it's best to show up whoever owes the favor. Since I want to trade favors for this matter, it's 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 him a favor, but also that you owe him a favor, so it is better for me to communicate with him face to face, so that after the matter is resolved, he will never think that you I owe him something too."

Wei Lan felt that what Li Mu said made sense. If Li Mu really brought her to chat with him about his father at the dinner table or the tea table, the favors he got on the spot would indeed be two shares. It would be better if he came alone. .

So Wei Lan said: "Then I will go to the Shanghai stock market with you. I just don't go with you when I am doing business."

"Row."

Back at Ziyun Villa, Li Mu took a hot bath. Although he was tired all over, he couldn't fall asleep. The appearance of a veteran, he had planned a charity plan for veterans at the beginning, but he couldn't find anyone who could fully entrust it to him. Now it's time to think about this issue.

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

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

As he said that, Li Mu said again: "I want to set up a welfare project similar to Veterans' Immortality, which is specially used to subsidize those anti-Japanese veterans who have encountered difficulties in life across the country. What do you think?"
