Chapter 207 White House Dinner

Early morning of June 27, 1997.

Upper West Side, Manhattan, New York.

Milo was awakened from his sleep by a strange feeling.

When he regained consciousness, Milo, who still had his eyes closed, curled up the corners of his mouth in a happy smile.

Charlize Theron snorted and jumped onto the horse.

"So good, such a good girl."

Milo stared at Charlize motionlessly, smiling and praising her.

Last night, Milo couldn't stand the loneliness anymore and called directly.

Six hours later, it was almost dawn in New York.

Charlize, the girlfriend he had just accepted, was supposed to be in Los Angeles.

He flew over here and saved him from the Crescent Moon Sky Strike.

Anyway, special training in Los Angeles is also special training, and special training in New York is also special training.

Paladin Media has corresponding film studios in Los Angeles and New York due to its acquisition of Universal Pictures.

In this case, Milo would not treat himself badly.

so……

A fierce battle in the early morning did not make Charlize depressed. Instead, her face was rosy and she looked energetic, looking like she was fully energized.

"Honey, you can actually see the Hudson Bay from here! Is that the Statue of Liberty in the distance?"

In the penthouse, Charlize was wearing only a large white shirt and a pair of red lace pants, with an excited look on her face as she helped Milo tie his tie.

She is now enjoying the benefits that Milo has brought her.

Whether it is material or in terms of various treatments around you.

Ever since she followed Milo, the role of the heroine in "The Matrix", for which she originally had to compete with five or six other people, became hers.

He originally lived in an apartment building in North Hollywood, but now lives directly above BlackRock's mansion.

In the past, when I went out, I could only take a taxi or drive my own Toyota Yaris.

Now when he goes out, he has bodyguards and drivers, and he drives luxury cars.

For example, she came to New York with her mother when she was eighteen years old.

Not to mention living in Manhattan, I can't even afford a good house in Queens.

The mother and daughter could only live in a small one-bedroom house in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

What is Williamsburg? That's where the two people from the American TV series "2 Broke Girls" stayed before it was released.

From this point, we can see what position Williamsburg plays in New York.

Now? In a penthouse on the Upper West Side!

Not to mention the material and treatment benefits.

In terms of physical needs, she can also get extreme satisfaction from Milo.

Charlize was very glad that she went to the cocktail party hosted by the crew of "The Matrix" that night.

Looking at her serving him like a little woman, she had none of the "Emperor" temperament that she would have in the future.

Milo grabbed her slender waist with pleasure, "You can stay here when you come to New York in the future. By the way, there will be an insurance contract later. Take a look at it and sign it if there is no problem."

"Insurance contract?"

"Yes, I bought you insurance. Very generous."

"Oh, dear, I don't know what to say!"

As she spoke, with exaggerated joy on her face, she put her arms around Milo's neck, covered Milo's lips with her red lips, and kissed him passionately.

But she didn't know that after she saw the insurance contract which was almost like a keeping contract.

Will I still be as happy as I am now?

Yes, she also aroused Milo's desire to collect.

No matter what, this is the future "King of Serbia", the famous South African gem.

It would be fine if I hadn’t encountered it before.

Now that I have encountered it and have tried it.

The taste is very good.

Of course, it is a private car and is kept in one's own "garage".

noon.

International Building at Rockefeller Center.

The atmosphere in the conference room was a little depressing.

The two parties stood behind their respective bosses, looking at Milo Blackburn and Jon Max, who were picking up pens and signing the documents at the long table. Jon Max was the chairman of Connor Oil and the management representative.

He came here today on behalf of a large number of Connor Petroleum shareholders to sign a stock transfer agreement with Milo.

That’s right, the acquisition battle between Connor Petroleum and Phillips Energy has come to an end.

After the Boston consortium had exchanged sufficient interests with Rockefeller, Morgan and Mellon.

The owner behind Connor Oil, the giant of American energy enterprises, the International Oil Cartel (Seven Sisters) gave the Boston Consortium an entry ticket.

The Boston consortium was able to get involved in oil energy.

But they sold some of their shares in arms companies and core settlement banks.

From the perspective of interests, it is actually hard to say who wins and who loses.

But it is certain that the two sides are more deeply entangled.

And Milo is the middleman who connects all the parties.

Brush brush...

When the two men finished signing, they stood up and exchanged the contracts.

The subordinates behind Milo all had flushed faces, and clapped vigorously with excited expressions.

The people from Connor Oil looked at the chairman Jon Max's stiff face with bitter and complicated expressions.

"Congratulations, Mr. Blackburn..."

"Congratulations to you all, everyone has received a generous severance package."

After hearing this, Jon Max's face turned even darker.

Although the Golden Parachute Plan was successfully launched, these top executives of the group were able to gain many benefits.

But compared with staying in Connor Oil, this benefit is actually nothing.

What's more, I was actually driven away, which was a very uncomfortable feeling.

But the situation is stronger than people.

The masters behind them took the initiative to make peace and collude with each other.

Jon Max and his gang of wage earners.

The only thing to do is to resign.

You have no choice but to accept it.

After having Jon Max escorted away.

Walking out of the conference room, Milo exhaled.

"call……"

The acquisition battle that lasted more than a month finally ended.

Next, Connor Petroleum will merge with Phillips Energy.

After the merger, he only held 35.6% of the shares in the new company.

He spent nearly $35 billion on this.

Only part of this money is in cash, and most of it is borrowed from the bank.

However, the new company can pay the debt slowly in the future and use his share of the shares as dividends.

The other shares were divided among other families of the Boston consortium.

The second highest ranked family is the Lawrence family.

They will control 16% of the new company's shares through 11 banks and companies.

Adams, Lowell, Lodge...none were missed.

To be honest, in this acquisition war.

If he hadn't dragged the Boston consortium into the water.

That Milo could at best have a place at Phillips Energy.

But it’s not that easy to get your hands on Connor Oil.

Not to mention becoming the largest shareholder and chairman of the new company.

The probability is that the acquisition war is halfway through.

Many people will come out to persuade him and stop him.

He either refuses to listen or chooses to continue doing it recklessly.

In the end, the scene turned out to be very ugly.

And what you will get is an ambush and siege from all sides in the energy industry.

If pushed to the limit, one will have to use either bombs or bullets.

Don't think this is scary. Even Ariana's grandfather might be shot after encroaching on other people's interests.

Not to mention Milo Blackburn.

This is what makes America fair.

Between the same class.

Whether it's nico against nico, or lower-level redneck against redneck, or middle-level against middle-level, or top-level against top-level.

If they are really provoked, it is possible that people of the same class will perish together.

No compromise and no allies.

Then he might have taken profit and left the market halfway, making billions of dollars.

He was like a rising star in the officialdom of the late Ming Dynasty. It would be no problem for him to become a new upstart by writing some articles.

The senior ministers will also praise you and say good things about you.

But if you want to reform you want to eat other people's share.

If you don't make allies and give benefits to your friends, you will be crushed to pieces.

Back in his office, Milo was just about to ask Christina to show him the information of the life assistant who would replace Monica.

But Kenny suddenly took his number one phone.

Milo took a look and saw that it was a call from his father who worked in the Five Star Building.

"Hey, Dad, good afternoon. What's for lunch at the Five Star Building today? Sandwiches or hamburgers."

"The Texas barbecue made in the work kitchen is fragrant and juicy. The taste is okay, but the smoky taste is a bit strong, which I don't like very much."

"Oh, that sounds great. I really want to try it if I have the chance."

"Now is an opportunity."

"Um?"

"Dinner at the White House."

"White House Dinner?" Milo frowned slightly. "State Banquet?"

"No, it's the annual press conference dinner..."

"Wait." Milo stopped Joseph from continuing. He spoke uncertainly, "I remember the White House Press Conference Dinner. Isn't it usually held at the end of April every year? Now it's already the end of June."

"Yes."

Joseph said on the phone:

"But this year is an exception. At the end of April this year, the First Lady fell ill. She has been in charge of this aspect of the work so far. So the reception dinner has been postponed. This year it will be held at the end of June, um... the day after tomorrow."

“Do you have to participate?”

"Didn't you say you wanted to have a working meal at the Five Star Building?"

"Uh, I'm just saying. I kind of don't want to go to the White House."

At least before Zipperton retires and before his uncle takes over.

Milo really didn't want to go there.

He felt that the place must have been turned into a den of evil by the couple.

"You'd better come. After all, your status is different now. And the dinner will not be held in the White House. The place is too small."

"Come on, Dad, did David Rockefeller attend the White House dinner? Did Andrew Morgan attend? Did Soya Mellon attend? Of course, I can't be compared with them, but did Walter Kahn's cousin attend? Or would my grandmother's brother attend?" Milo asked confidently.

"I'm sorry, Milo. They did participate..." Joseph laughed, his laughter sounded a little cunning. After Milo was surprised, he added: "Although it was 20 years ago."

"You know that was 20 years ago," Milo argued again, "The real winners are those who hide behind the scenes, watching the world change and seizing the opportunities that suit them. I have been exposed too much."

"Don't you think this is a bit...like covering your ears to steal the bell? Even so, it doesn't change the fact that you are the chairman of the media group." Joseph shook his head.

As the boss of a media group, it is natural for them to focus on news.

Murdoch, Redstone, Newhouse, Hearst.

Even though they are not as dazzling as Milo, they appear in the media many times every year.

It is also hundreds of times that of other industry giants. This is a problem brought about by the industry.

"In fact, you know, even though we have a good relationship with the Zippertons, when it comes down to it, we are not real allies with him." Milo said deafly.

"Okay, Milo, I know you don't like Zipperton very much. But, come to Washington, okay? I need you." Joseph said softly.

"I..." Milo thought for a moment and sighed, "Okay."

His dad said so.

And Joseph is in the House of Representatives or in the Department of Defense.

Who did he help the most?

He is not my son.

Moreover, not long ago, I promised my father that I would go to Washington.

Dad finally spoke.

Then go ahead.

Now that he has decided to go, he is not the kind of person who would drag his feet.

We will hold the banquet the day after tomorrow, so there is no need to choose an auspicious day or anything.

At the command, the security team was ready.

The next evening, his Boeing 747-400Combi took off from Kennedy International Airport.

Washington DC is not far from New York.

Both are cities on the east coast of the United States, about 360 kilometers apart.

It only takes 3 to 4 hours by train, bus or car.

Not to mention taking a private jet.

So when Milo appears over DC.

It's not late yet.

Washington at night is far less brightly lit than Manhattan.

It was in the darkness, like a monster lurking on the earth, sucking blood.

Just like America, lying on the planet.

DC is the political center of the United States, the heart of the empire, and the most famous city in the world.

There is neither the glamour and prosperity of Los Angeles nor the extravagance and bustle of New York. There is only the art of compromise.

On the surface, the elites who founded the United States seemed to be practicing separation of powers.

In fact, in terms of the actual operation of government, they completely imitated their former overlords.

However, the system of their suzerain country is actually imitating that of the Qing Dynasty, the former sick man of East Asia.

Very unscientific, right?

How could the once great empire on which the sun never sets imitate the Qing Dynasty, which had been backward and beaten for so long? However, this is the fact.

The British Empire during the Victorian era copied the civil service system of the Qing Dynasty.

They divided the government into two types of officials: political officials and administrative officials.

Political officials are elected through voting, while administrative officials are elected through civil service examinations.

Compared with the political officials who are replaced from time to time, the position of the administrative officer should not be too stable.

America copied it directly, and the officials here are called establishment.

This group is outside the electoral process but holds real power in many policy areas.

The United States is actually in this situation of "directors governing the country" in many areas.

They are non-political.

Nominally, this is to avoid being influenced by electoral politics.

But it also exempts them from a great deal of political responsibility.

They maintain close ties with big business, Wall Street, and various special interest groups.

Maintaining the flow of connections, money and information within their circle.

Eventually, a "solitary camp" was formed in Washington, DC.

And those purely elected politicians are just a passing stream of officials to them.

The elected officials either collude with these civil servants.

Or you will become an "outsider" and can only perform under the spotlight.

Why can the Squid Man have more and more influence on this country, and it seems that even Rockefeller and Morgan can't stop him in the later period? The reason is that through long-term efforts, the Squid Man can not only influence the media and finance.

They are also very influential among the civil servants, and a large number of squid people have infiltrated them.

These people, together with the financial groups behind them, are the so-called “deep state.”

Joseph and Robin, Milo's parents, lived in the old Blackburn house on Pennsylvania Avenue.

This street is known as Main Street America, connecting the White House and the United States Capitol. Its total length within the city is only about ten kilometers.

More than 80% of the federal government’s official agencies are concentrated on both sides of the road.

The national headquarters of the Elephant Party and the Donkey Party are also here.

The convoy took Milo to his destination, where Joseph and Robin were already waiting to greet their son with smiles on their faces.

In fact, Robin wanted to go to the airport to pick up his son.

But DC doesn't have its own airport, and the three nearest airports are very far away.

Milo didn't ask his parents to run so far to pick him up, he just came by himself.

Hugs, affection, and greetings.

After a while.

In the living room on the top floor of this apartment building on Pennsylvania Avenue.

Milo came to the floor-to-ceiling window and pulled aside the curtains. Outside the curtains was a ceiling-high soundproof glass window.

Outside the window, you can see iconic buildings such as the White House, Capitol Hill, and the Washington Monument.

"This place is really nice! The view is wide. Did my grandfather live here too?" Milo said with emotion.

His father walked up to him and looked out the window with him at the Capitol Hill in the night.

"This is our ancestral home in Washington. In 1825, when Claude Blackburn first became a congressman, he bought this land for $500. It has been rebuilt twice."

Milo nodded, of course he knew that.

Claude Blackburn was the one of his ancestors who had been closest to the White House.

He was the Democratic Party's candidate for president in those years, but unfortunately he was unsuccessful.

Yes, the Donkey Party back then was different from the Donkey Party now.

In this century, the base of the Donkey Party and the Elephant Party has changed once.

At the beginning, the Donkey Party was a symbol of conservatism and tradition.

"Last time you told me to come only at your birthday party. Should I come again next month?"

Milo turned to look at his father, only to see Joseph shaking his head.

"That's not necessary. This is also an opportunity. At the dinner tomorrow night, those who want to see you will come to you on their own."

Milo breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I don't have to go to Washington again next month. By the way, I wish you a happy birthday in advance, my dear father."

Joseph smiled, and the father and son turned to talking about business.

They walked together to the sofa chair in the middle of the living room, and Robin arranged for the maids to serve coffee and snacks to the father and son.

Milo picked up a piece of caramel pudding. It was a little sticky to his fingers and very sweet.

Milo took one bite and didn't like it.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Your people, I mean the people from your security company. Did they go to the Gold Coast of Africa?"

"Yes, I have a little experiment I want to do."

"A small experiment? Overthrowing a country's regime? Zipperton complained to me privately. He said that if it goes wrong, it will easily cause trouble for others at the United Nations. Especially France."

"Haha, are we going to allow the Gauls to occupy black Africa? Don't you think about whether they still have the national strength they once had? Do they have another Charles de Gaulle or Joan of Arc?"

It would be fine if the French were not mentioned, but as soon as the French were mentioned, Milo got a little angry.

They actually wanted to bribe the women around them and put undercover agents around them! Although their motivation for doing so was probably because they had sent armed personnel to Sierra Leone.

After all, the Gallic roosters have always regarded black Africa as their own private territory.

But Sierra Leone is traditionally a British territory, the official language is English, and it is still a member of the Commonwealth.

London is not in a hurry, so what does it have to do with the Gauls!

Well, it's a bit hypocritical for him to think this way.

But people are like this. It is always the world that is wrong, not themselves.

"Ha..." Hearing his son say this, Joseph smiled, "I also said this to Zipperton in private. In fact, there are many people in the Five Star Building who want to see how far you can go."

"If it really opens up the situation, they will definitely be willing to join in, as long as you are willing to let them have a share."

"It's these disgusting guys again." Milo shook his head.

The United States later fell into that state.

A toilet seat costs tens of thousands of dollars, a mug costs thousands of dollars, and a sheep costs millions of dollars.

These generals in the Five-Star Building have made absolutely indispensable contributions.

Of course, the generals themselves cannot afford to spend trillions of dollars on military spending.

In fact, this was achieved with the joint efforts of the entire civil service group, the Five Star Building, and the consortiums behind it.

To be honest, the United States, which has been established for more than 200 years, is terrible everywhere!

The reason why it looks so glorious now is simply because everyone has eaten their fill from the fallen corpse of the red bear.

"My people have just arrived at the capital of that place."

After thinking about it, Milo decided to tell his father something.

If something really goes wrong, my dad will have to step in to rescue us.

"My people are now preparing to rescue their former leader. Only by rescuing him first can my people have a place to stay there."

"If anyone is willing to join in the future, I would welcome it."

"Of course, who is qualified and who is not. This matter is for you, father, to decide."

Hearing his son say this, Joseph nodded with satisfaction.

He was a little worried that his son would become complacent and do something stupid over there.

In the end, you not only don't get any benefits, but end up in trouble.

Now that his son is willing to share the profits, Joseph can form alliances in the Five-Star Building.

Get more people involved and join your son’s game.

Just in case, if you are lucky, the operation will be successful.

Not only can everyone eat meat.

The United States will also have an additional foothold in black Africa.

This will not only weaken Old Europe, but also boost its own voice in the Five-Star Building.

"By the way, Dad." Looking at Joseph, Milo suddenly remembered something.

He discovered this in his previous life when he was reading an online novel.

At that time, he checked the news and found that it was true.

After his rebirth, he had thought about giving it a try early on.

But I didn’t have the conditions, and later when the conditions came, I forgot about them.

Just now, the father and son were talking about things in Sierra Leone.

Milo was reminded by this incident. He whispered, "I now know that there is a treasure abroad. There may be tens of billions of dollars worth of gold products in that treasure. What do you think I should do?"

"Treasures from abroad?" Joseph was a little surprised and raised his eyebrows. "You didn't get any clues about the Nacui gold, did you?"

"Not this one," Milo said. "It's in Indu. I received information that there is a temple with gold and gold products worth billions..."

“…”

The next day, evening.

In the spacious hall, well-dressed gentlemen and ladies sat around a round table.

From time to time, they applauded and cheered for the man in the center of the stage's witty remarks.

However, this middle-aged man is not the chief steward of the United States, but the host of the most popular talk show on ABC TV: Jon Stewart.

"…Then the father found the president of the World Bank and said: I can recommend a vice president for you. The president replied: I already have enough vice presidents. The father immediately said: But this guy is Bill Gates' son-in-law. The president immediately said: That's great. You see, many deals in the world are negotiated this way."

Although Stewart's ridicule caused laughter and applause from the audience, the person being ridiculed also smiled, shook his head and applauded.

Bill Gates is not the first person he has made fun of.

Before him, countless people had been commented on by him.

The Zippertons did not escape either.

Although there were many celebrities at the scene and it was broadcast live on TV.

But the tone of the routine press conference was relaxed.

Selecting someone to do a talk show is also a routine program. As long as the topic is not too extreme, it can be discussed.

But Bill Gates would definitely be the last person to be teased by Stewart tonight.

After telling this joke, the routine talk show came to an end.

Then the TV station also paused the broadcast, and the next period was free time.

"Thank you for inviting me. William, I didn't expect this kind of party to be so relaxed. If it were more relaxed, it would feel no different from the Golden Globe Awards party or the Oscars party."

Milo, who was wearing a black suit with a bow tie at his collar, shook hands with Zipperton politely and spoke to him as if he was talking to an acquaintance.

"Haha~ I should be the one thanking you for coming. To be honest, Milo, I didn't expect you to come. It must be because of Joseph. It turned out that I did not make the wrong choice to let him be my minister!" Zipperton's face was flushed, and he looked very proud.

He is indeed entitled to be proud.

In addition to being the second Donald Trump president to be successfully re-elected after Roosevelt, he also has quite good luck.

With the disintegration of the Red Empire and the end of the Cold War, people began to focus more on their lives.

Coupled with being keenly aware of the rise of the IT industry, they seized the opportunity to promote the construction of the information highway.

America seemed to have never been better than it is now, and all this was his credit, except...

Milo glanced around secretly without any expression.

He had noticed it before, but unfortunately he didn't see the famous White House intern.

"Who is this?"

At this moment, Zipper looked at the beautiful girl who had her arm around him, and his eyes lit up.

"Let me introduce you. This is Charlize Theron, my assistant secretary." Milo immediately introduced her.

Of course you need a female companion to attend a dinner party, especially one that used to be related to politics.

He usually brings Monica with him.

But Monica is now in Los Angeles to take care of her baby.

Charlize, like him, wore a black, partially translucent, wide-shouldered evening gown tonight, with long gloves and some jewelry decorations. She looked mysterious and beautiful but also dignified and generous.

Well, it's an honor to be able to attend a dinner at the White House, even if the dinner is not held at the White House...

They are now in the InterContinental Hotel. The white house is so small that it cannot accommodate so many guests.

If not in a hotel, where else should we hold it? Should we hold a BBQ on the grass? Although the US president has indeed done this.

But the question is, who is the right person for Milo to take? It is not appropriate to take the eldest sister-in-law, because her status is not suitable.

Ariana can't do it either, she's too young.

In terms of fame and qualifications, Zeta-Jones has basically reached the status of a first-line female star.

In terms of intimacy, Sophie even gave birth to two of his daughters, and there is currently no one in Hollywood who is closer than she and Milo.

Originally Monica was the best choice, but unfortunately she couldn't come.

Besides, even if the other women are not suitable, they will inevitably be jealous.

This is just like who you choose to spend an important holiday with. If the choice is not good enough and not convincing enough, it will inevitably cause some unnecessary troubles...

This is the trouble with having too many women, but Milo has always liked this kind of trouble.

But more importantly, the regular cocktail party is broadcast live on TV.

No matter who Milo brings to the event, it's likely that they'll make the gossip headlines the next day.

So after much thought, I decided not to take anyone else and chose Charlize.

When the women asked him about it, he would say that she was the only one around him at that time.

If the media is going to hype it up, then let's focus on "The Matrix".

And there is another benefit to bringing Charlize here at this time.

She just signed the insurance agreement.

Bringing her to a banquet of this level at this time.

It is undoubtedly telling her - girl, your choice is right.

Comfort her mind.

However, when facing parents, there is still a time to enter the scene.

Milo assigned Charlize the identity of being his temporary assistant secretary.

You can't say she's just one of his many girlfriends.

"No wonder you are where you are now. Dear Milo, you even brought your assistant secretary with you to the party!"

Zipperton said half-jokingly, and then held out his hand to Charlize:

"I'm glad you can come to the party, Miss Theron. I hope you are satisfied with everything. Frankly speaking, you are really very beautiful, like a pure white pearl."

"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. President." Charlize was excited, but she had prepared herself mentally for two days in advance.

She was still able to control herself and pulled her hand back calmly.

"I'm sorry to say that I don't agree with you, William," Milo said with a smile, "Pearls are not enough to describe Charlie's beauty. I usually call her 'South African Diamond'. By the way, she is from South Africa."

"Really? That's indeed a very appropriate adjective, Milo. You are truly an outstanding and talented writer." At this point, Zipperton actually winked at him.

Milo was slightly stunned, but then he understood what he meant.

Everyone knows each other well, and Zipperton must know that he and Charlize have had several affairs.

Just like Zipperton knew that Milo knew about his "romantic affairs".

He was not a good man to begin with, and the intern in the White House was just one of his many casual lovers.

Naturally, there will be a feeling of mutual appreciation that only belongs to men.

"Obviously, some things were not done covertly enough. Fortunately, no one questioned me with evidence. Otherwise, if I denied it, I don't know how bad it would be."

Milo smiled and gave an irrelevant answer.

At the same time, he gave him a meaningful look, and a hint of realization flashed across La Zipperton's face.

Recently, the Zipton scandal has begun to appear in the media again.

It’s the same thing from last year.

But last year, because he was running for re-election, it was effectively covered up.

This year the scandal could no longer be covered up, or the people behind him didn't want to help him cover it up anymore.

Things are beginning to come to light again, and there are signs that they are getting worse.

To be honest, the impeachment of Zipperton was completely unwarranted.

It is one of the unspoken rules here that interns in Washington provide services to certain big shots.

Of course, these are also under the guise of one-night stands.

Just like the red couches of Hollywood girls.

This is very common in the United States.

However, Zipperton was later impeached for lying.

Instead of playing a White House intern, which celebrity doesn't have a few lovers? Bill Gates also has a so-called confidante.

But who made him infringe on the interests of certain people?

It's normal to be designed like this.

As Milo said, the President of the United States is just a steward.

It is not particularly difficult to get him out of office.

However, there are also people supporting Zipperton, not to mention high-level figures like Rockefeller.

There are also people under the zipper.

For example, Milo is now considered to be one of the IT companies that has benefited from the Information Highway Construction Act.

Coupled with the fact that the public had a good impression of him, as well as a variety of other factors, the impeachment case ultimately came to nothing.

But now, the impeachment case has not yet been revealed.

The scandal is still brewing, but this time there is no one to dampen the heat.

"I think Miss Theron must be very capable, Mr. Blackburn would keep her with him."

A voice interrupted from the side, and without looking, one could tell that it was Zipperton's wife, Shilani, who was speaking.

She said with a smile, then glanced at her husband nonchalantly.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Zipperton's eyes, but he adjusted himself immediately.

"Yes, I often tell Charlie that I can't imagine what it would be like without her. She is my best assistant," Milo said, holding Charlize's hand on his arm and patting it gently. Then he suddenly changed the subject: "Just like William can't live without you, Diane. Without you, a capable and virtuous wife, William would definitely have a lot more things to do."

"Who knows?"

Shilani said with a smile, but the pride in her eyes showed that she was very pleased with Milo's compliment.

La Zipperton said nothing more and soon left with his wife.

"Mr. President seems to be a little henpecked."

Looking at the departing American butler, Charlize suddenly said this, and then looked at Milo thoughtfully: "And you didn't say that to me just now, did you?"

"Which one?"

"You can't imagine your life without me by your side."

"Really? Then I can tell you again now."

"The person you're referring to is probably Miss Monica Bellucci, right?"

"Hmm? You know her?"

"certainly."

Charlize whispered, "No one would not know her."

Monica appears around Milo all year round.

And he often took her to some public banquets.

Many of them were photographed by the media, so her identity was certainly no secret.

She is Milo Blackburn's personal assistant and head of the secretarial team.

But because she is beautiful and has a great figure.

She used to be a model and also acted in Hollywood.

So people outside certainly wouldn't think her relationship with Milo was innocent.

She was dubbed "Blackburn's secretary-mistress" by some tabloids.

"So..." Milo smiled: "Charlie, do you still want to hear me say this?"

"Yes, but not now."

She looked up at Milo seriously and said softly, "When you really feel that you can't live without me, say this to me again. I will be very happy then!"

Quite ambitious and a little clever.

The cocktail party continued with a relaxed tone.

It is no different from any other cocktail party, except that it has a political flavor so it is somewhat similar to a campaign fundraising cocktail party.

However, Milo quickly became the busy man at the party.

Because under the leadership of his father, many people came to know and talk to Milo.

For example, Jack McCain, the confidential secretary of the Five Star Building, and his uncle John McCain.

The former is irrelevant; the latter is the senior senator from Arizona.

The word "senior" is usually used in front of members of Congress.

It often means that the congressman has been re-elected for more than two terms.

For example, John McCain is here.

He is now being re-elected to his third term as a senator from Arizona.

"I think I should ask my film company to make a movie about your deeds, Mr. McCain. The new generation of young people in the United States should watch the experiences of heroes like you."

After Joseph's introduction.

After Milo had a few words with the uncle and nephew, he said in a joking tone:

"That's great. I will definitely support it, and I'd even be fine with appearing on camera myself," McCain replied with a smile.

When he was young, he served as a naval pilot and performed combat missions in the Vietnam War. He was captured and detained for five and a half years.

This also made him a nationally renowned figure and a powerful political asset for him.

Because it was a banquet, the two sides did not have a deep conversation.

It's just a meeting, if there is really any intention of cooperation next.

We will naturally contact each other privately when the time comes.

But to be honest, if it weren't for McCain's power in the military.

Milo really doesn't think highly of McCain's Arizona.

Arizona is also known as the "Grand Canyon State". Its state flower is the columnar cactus and its state bird is the wren.

It can be seen from this that this is a deserted place.

This is also the reason why the McCain family can never get over it.

They have too much military influence and too little local support.

The state's population is only about five million, not even as large as the population of New York City...

Besides McCain, there are many people who want to meet Milo tonight...
