Chapter 658: Xixi's Promotion

Zhou Rong is a small intellectual and is rather self-centered by nature.

But it does not mean that we can tolerate others bullying or looking down on our family members.

There was nothing we could do in the past, we could only let it go or even ignore it.

Of course, there is no way to go back and slap himself in the face now. After all, Wang Yuanchao is a foreigner, not a member of the mainland.

But at least, now I don't have to endure that anger, right?

My eldest brother has his own aspirations, and the organization has also talked to him. He believes that we should serve the people wherever we are, and not limit ourselves to one family or one country. So he must take my eldest sister-in-law with him.

Sister-in-law doesn’t want to go?
impossible.

My sister-in-law is infertile, so who would want her except my silly brother?
Her father is also a man who won't help his own son-in-law, so who would want her?

My eldest brother and sister-in-law left, and I am leaving too, leaving only my parents and my younger brother's family of four at home.

My younger brothers and sisters don’t even have a regular job. If my eldest brother and I step in to convince this idiot, won’t it be easy?

If my younger brother is persuaded, his sister-in-law will definitely follow him. She is also a miserable and infatuated woman.

Now that all the children have run away, do parents have any choice?
It's a pity that I should go to Boro Country first. Otherwise, I wouldn't feel confident telling others that I want to be a foreigner.

But so many people went out and basically no one came back. From this point of view alone, that place should be good.

Then Wang Yuanchao agreed to take her to Hong Kong first, thinking that Boluo Kingdom and Hong Kong were similar.

……

Wang Yuanchao felt a little ashamed to face Zhu Lin's parents, after all, he was the one who lied first.

So he went back to Hong Kong first and left this burden to his wife Zhu Lin to deal with.

Zhu Lin is motivated, and she is their biological daughter. She takes the initiative to take on this responsibility. What can her parents do?
The grandson is already so big, what else can the old couple do?
After so many years, the whole family has adapted to the current life. What else can we do?
One can only sigh that girls grow up and become outward-looking.
-
Next year will be the year of the US presidential election.

Therefore, campaigns for the presidential nominations of the Republican and Democratic parties began in early 87.

Wang Yuanchao's father-in-law, Ronald Reagan, has already been re-elected as president for two terms and it is impossible for him to run for election again, so Vice President George Bush is naturally gearing up for a fight.

But at this time, the Iran-Contra scandal was gaining momentum, and George Bush did not make any statement for the time being in order to avoid being banned by the press.

But Wang Yuanchao knew who would win in the end, so after spending the Spring Festival in Hong Kong, he immediately rushed to the United States.

Because of the Iran-Contra affair, there was a wave of resignations from the White House from late 86 to early 87.

The morale of officials of all ranks plummeted, and they all made excuses to find other ways to make a living.

Turner, the White House drug abuse adviser, Daniels, the president's political adviser, Buchanan, the White House liaison director, and Spikes, the deputy press secretary, all resigned one after another. Even Wally Boom and Alshey, the two advisers who were responsible for helping Reagan deal with the Iran-Contra crisis, said they had no intention of "staying with him to the end."

But Reagan was able to rise from an actor to the president, not like the driver who had an empty stomach.

March 3th was the 4th wedding anniversary of Reagan and his wife Nancy.

Reagan once again gave a televised address to the national public.

In his speech, although Reagan "did not apologize" for the mistakes he made, "the entire tone of the speech constituted an apology."

Reagan's frank attitude and regretful expression alleviated the pressure of public opinion to some extent.

Polls showed that most of the public were satisfied with Reagan's speech.

The next day, The New York Times commented that "not since Kennedy accepted blame for the disastrous Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961 has an American president been so open to admitting mistakes."

Wang Yuanchao's media began to invite some Republicans to talk about their achievements over the years.

In fact, it is just a disguised list of a series of achievements since Reagan took office to remind the American people.

Of course, Democrats were also invited and interviewed.

The general election is about to begin, and it is not at all deliberate to interview people who are aspiring to move up.

Republicans talk about achievements, Democrats talk about problems.

Finally, the host compared the 70s and 80s:

In the past, the American people fought wars everywhere, fought desperately, the domestic unemployment rate was high, and ordinary people tightened their belts. What about now?
The United States has climbed out of its economic quagmire and is on the fast track of rapid development;
The confrontation with the Soviet Union gradually slowed down, and the Soviet Union even moved closer to the United States.

And so on and so forth, too numerous to mention.

No contrast, no harm.

The media did not say that all these were Reagan's achievements, but only talked about what achievements the United States had made since the 80s. Media people have to be neutral.

But Reagan was in power in the 80s, so isn't this just praising him without naming him?
Wang Yuanchao's wave of public opinion support, combined with Reagan's previous candid television speech, made people wonder if everyone was too harsh on the president.
The president is also wholeheartedly devoted to this country!

Wang Yuanchao did not give Reagan any advice, as he had solved the problem himself in history, so he could only quietly do what he could to add icing on the cake.

This made Reagan feel that his son-in-law supported him and was not an ungrateful person.

His original plan was to promote the slogan "serving the country and the people, without selfish motives", "subordinates with good intentions did bad things", and "management responsibility is on me". Of course, he also reached a consensus with the people involved in the incident. Now with the help of the media, everyone feels more that they are "serving the country and the people", and there are only flaws in the procedures. As long as the next government is still in the hands of the Republicans, this will resist and the result will not be bad.

This made it even more important for Reagan to ensure that the next government would remain in power.

Before the cunning Vice President George H.W. Bush expressed his opinion, Wang Yuanchao told Reagan that this was a favor suitable for him to do, and it would seem cheap if the president offered it voluntarily.

Reagan agreed.

He believed that no one would not be tempted by this position, and his support was the political legacy of these years. Whoever took over would have to be promoted three levels on the spot!

Wang Yuanchao and Bush Sr. had been in cahoots for a long time. After all, this was related to the guarantee of food tickets for the next four years.

Bush Sr. was deeply moved by Earl Wang's optimism and investment.

The other party had been optimistic about President Reagan and had supported him unstintingly when President Reagan was still the governor. Now, the other party had clearly expressed its support for him. Bush Sr. felt that his chances of winning had greatly increased.

The two had been in an affair for many years, and Bush Sr. would not hide his thoughts from Wang Yuanchao.

Because he was Reagan's deputy, he knew the power behind Adam. If such a financial sponsor clearly expressed his support for you and you were still hiding it, he would turn around and look for the next target.

What do you think of losing such financial support?

You know, since 1836, no incumbent vice president of the United States has successfully run for election. Bush Sr. is setting a new record, and the pressure is huge.

In addition to public policy issues and the candidates' own abilities, two other factors are more important to each vice presidential candidate:
One is whether the incumbent president is popular; the other is whether the relationship between the president and the vice president is good.

Because the two are a governing partner, in the past four years, the president and vice president have been seen as one in the eyes of voters.

How could George H.W. Bush not covet Reagan’s political legacy?
He already had a good relationship with President Reagan, and with Adam's words of peace, it was like adding another layer of insurance.

Everyone gets what they need, which is great.

So this is also the reason why the Democrats tried to attack Reagan's actions in the Iran-Contra incident, trying to get Reagan fired like the Watergate scandal.

In this way, the Republican Party will collapse without a fight.

But with the media's interference, the Republicans talked about achievements and the Democrats picked out problems. Later, the Democrats reacted, stopped accepting interviews, and kept their mouths shut.

The situation finally rebounded from the bottom.

Xixi stood up, took the mineral water and gulped it down, just as if she was rinsing her mouth, and said:

"You told me not to get involved in the Iran-Contra affair, and I was very dissatisfied with you."

Xixi first emerged in the system by actively participating in the Watergate scandal.

She was eager to charge into battle again, even though Reagan was the grandfather of Adam's children.

But after following Adam for so many years, she was well aware of his skills and abilities, so she held back in the end.

Because she found that Zipperton was also not moving. Wang Yuanchao had invested much more energy in Zipperton than in her.

Then I saw the Democrats making a lot of trouble, which seemed lively but was almost in vain.

The more you jump around, the more of a clown you become in the eyes of the public.

"But I believe in your judgment!" Xixi showed off her eloquence again.

Wang Yuanchao patted the woman's head and said:
"I've found you a position in the next government."

Xixi opened her eyes wide and just looked at Wang Yuanchao.

"President Reagan is going to make some personnel changes. I've asked for a deputy minister position for you. This way, the next administration can nominate you for a cabinet-level position, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations."

Wang Yuanchao said calmly.

Xixi works harder!

Cabinet level!

Cabinet level!

After finishing his work as an ambassador, wouldn't it be natural for him to return to the United States and run for the Senate?

Childhood dreams are within reach.

Her springs were straining as far as they could in the increasingly smaller space; otherwise, she would not be able to express her excitement.

Nowadays, whether the Republicans or Democrats are in power, there will be candidates from the other party in the cabinet, demonstrating the unity and cooperation between the two parties. It is not the clear division that will occur decades later.

As a big money sponsor, Wang Yuanchao didn't need to explain anything when he asked his father-in-law for a small position. Reagan just asked him which position he was interested in. Is adding a deputy minister a big deal?
He is the US ambassador to the United Nations. He is not a cabinet member, but it is a cabinet-level position. He had a good deal with George H.W. Bush. This is for Wang Yuanchao himself, not a representative pushed forward by the consortium.

This is a mini version of the Secretary of State. George H.W. Bush also came from this position. After a brief thought, he agreed to Wang Yuanchao's request.

Even if Adam is not the representative of the consortium, he alone is also the representative of a small consortium. In addition, due to the long-term cooperation between everyone, it is already very restrained for him to ask for such a position.
