Chapter 449: A Face Full of Gossip
Reagan laughed for a while and said:
“I participated in World War II. Although I was unable to go to the front due to my eyesight, I made due contributions to the war effort in the logistics and propaganda department with my talent and wisdom.
So, by chance, my former comrade-in-arms may be able to help you a little."
Reagan joined the army in 42. Due to his poor eyesight caused by long-term exposure to the camera, he was fortunately able to stay in the Army Air Forces (AAF) in the United States, where he worked in the public relations department and the First Motion Picture Unit, responsible for producing films about military training.
At the end of World War II and before his retirement, he produced more than 400 training films for the Army Air Corps.
It was also because of this experience that he became the president of the Screen Actors Guild and stimulated Reagan's desire for power.
At that time, his comrades-in-arms, after thirty years of development, all held high positions in the army! As the governor of California, he was also a high-ranking official, and he could talk about the past with those old comrades-in-arms and discuss some cooperation.
Wang Yuanchao had not expected such an unexpected surprise, and immediately thanked him:
"I will thank your comrades. Of course, if they have any special needs, they can also raise them. I have always believed that friendship is about mutual need and support."
I believe Reagan understood every word Wang Yuanchao said about needing and supporting each other.
Reagan laughed:
“I won’t be polite with you.
By the way, now that the Dow Jones Industrial Average has plummeted, do you have any suggestions?
You didn't buy those stocks before, and now it seems that you were wise, because they have all fallen below their issue price!"
[Reagan had asked Wang Yuanchao for his opinion on the stocks of Silicon Valley companies before, but Wang Yuanchao felt that it was not the right time yet, so he did not make a move.]
Wang Yuanchao knew that the end of the stock market crash would be at the end of 74, but that was caused by the oil crisis triggered by the Middle East War. The crisis had not yet broken out, so how could he predict it?
I can only say:
“I don’t know enough about the Dow Jones to comment on it.
I invest in gold.
You know, since the dollar and gold were decoupled, gold has been rising all the way.
However, once I have enough knowledge about the U.S. market, I will probably continue to invest in stocks.”
After the stock market crash, those companies will definitely be harvested.
Reagan nodded:
“Honest Adam!
However, your adventurous plan and the music festival that you caused have caused the president a lot of headaches!
I am a Republican, but my daughter and son-in-law are waving the flag for the Democratic Party, and I also left the Democratic Party back then.
Fortunately, the president was successfully re-elected.”
Wang Yuanchao did not explain. This topic is a bit sensitive. Reagan can easily say frankly that he is not suitable and he just wants to make money. This music festival is allowed in New York State, but not in California, which has suppressed the event.
Moreover, Reagan only mentioned the music festival and did not mention the anti-war songs he composed, which was already polite.
But those songs cater to the market!
The truth is that simple.
"You are just a businessman, but you can't be just a businessman." Reagan saw Wang Yuanchao was silent and reminded him.
Wang Yuanchao nodded:
“I certainly understand that.
When I was weak, anyone could ignore me, not see me, or even bite me.
But when I become stronger, everyone will come to cooperate with me and seek my support. And I also need their support.
Like I said, friendship is mutual.”
Reagan said:
“That’s enough!
All you need to know is that if you need my help, just let me know.
We are a family too!
In the future, maybe I will need your help too."
Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
"When you need me, I will do my best."
The father-in-law and son-in-law had a frank communication, and as soon as they came out of the study, they saw the brother-in-law leaning against the wall at the door.
"Adam, May 5th is my birthday..."
Wang Yuanchao's first reaction was, that's already past! But when he saw the child's expression, he knew that he was asking for a gift!
So he laughed and said:
"That's a shame...what gift would you like?"
My brother-in-law said happily:
"Lamborghini Miura P400SV..." Then seeing his father following his brother-in-law, Ron quickly added:
“A Miura P400S would work too!”
After saying that, he ran away to coax his nephew, little Ronan.
Lamborghini, what a familiar name, something that we could only look at before!
Reagan obviously heard it from behind. If it was before, he would think that his son Ron's request was too much, after all, it was tens of thousands of dollars! But if the son-in-law is a billionaire, then this is obviously not so exaggerated. After all, he just told his son-in-law to help each other.
So he just said:
"Boys of this age are either interested in pretty female classmates or cars."
Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
“Only a true family would express their feelings and demands in this way.”
It was just a car. Would his brother-in-law forget his kindness in the future? He didn't even know how long his marriage with Patricia would last, but he could always recognize this father-in-law, mother-in-law, and brother-in-law!
Wang Yuanchao stayed in Sacramento for two days and one night. Since his wife Patricia could not come back in time, he accompanied his son and ordered a Lamborghini Miura P400S for his brother-in-law. It was not that the Miura P400SV was expensive, but it had to be specially customized, which took too long. It could almost be Ron’s 16th birthday gift! The young man could not wait, so he chose the Miura P400S.
Then he flew to New York to visit the school. If nothing goes wrong, he will graduate this year!
It was Xixi who came to pick him up. She drove her little Beetle as usual.
"Why don't you buy a new car?" Wang Yuanchao couldn't help but ask, thinking that his brother-in-law already has a Lamborghini sports car, but Xixi still wants a Beetle worth several thousand dollars.
Xixi drove the car attentively and said:
"This car is suitable for my current role. If I change to a luxury car, I am worried that there will be a gap between me and my classmates and teachers, which is not conducive to my work.
Of course, the company has provided me with a car, but I don’t use it unless I go out to negotiate business on behalf of the company.”
The Adventure Project Company's consecutive music festivals were all a great success, becoming the top music festival IP in the United States, and they were not short of money at all. As one of the persons in charge designated by the big boss Wang Yuanchao, and also the hub for communication between the company and the Democrats, Xixi's configuration must not be low.
Wang Yuanchao stretched out his big hands nakedly and rubbed her. Thinking about Xixi's future status and the huge contrast, Wang Yuanchao felt excited.
Xixi was so annoyed by him that she stopped the car on the side of the road and lifted up her skirt.
……
"We seem to have done this on this road quite a few times." Wang Yuanchao recalled.
"That's because you can never wait to get back to your room..." Xixi rolled her eyes.
But being on the road is indeed much more exciting than being in the room.
In school, she is a traditional and gentle female student. In the company, she is a decisive female leader. Only on this road can she indulge herself unscrupulously, releasing every shout and scream in her identity to the wilderness of heaven and earth.
Only at this time did she feel that she was just herself, without having to care about anyone's opinion or wear any mask.
The man in front of me has a child and doesn’t need to pretend because they are the best partners!
Wang Yuanchao laughed heartily, feeling very pleased with himself:
"You sound like you're not enjoying it!"
Xixi said:
"Look at my face, there's nothing unusual, right? It would be embarrassing if someone saw anything!"
Wang Yuanchao glanced at it casually and said:
"You have water and towels in the car, and they have all been washed!"
Xixi said:
"There might be residue on the ends of your hair and temples. You are such a fool. Can't you just use your mouth? You have to get it all over your face!"
She had a pretty good idea of this man's quirks, so although she seemed to be scolding him, she was actually flirting with him.
Wang Yuanchao curled his lips and said:
"It's too late!"
Xixi restarted the car and glanced at the guy. That nasty smile! What do you mean it's too late! He did it on purpose!
"It seems that LaZipperton and Karen are having some conflicts and may break up." She changed the subject. After all, Adam really took good care of LaZipperton, so she and LaZipperton had a lot of daily interactions and often cooperated with each other.
Wang Yuanchao was not surprised to hear this. He guessed that either they were apart more often than they were together, or one of them was having affairs and the other couldn't stand it. Karen was a singer, and singers were always a little different from ordinary people. The fact that they had been together for so long was already beyond his expectation.
"Do you know the reason?"
Xixi snorted and said:
"It seems that Zipper slept with Karen's fans..."
Wang Yuanchao had a lot of black lines in his head. The stock market mentioned in these words was too rich!
"Wait a minute, I don't quite understand. Zipperton, did you sleep with Karen's fans?"
Xixi said:
“What’s so hard to understand?
Zipperton often asks Karen to show off to him, but they rarely see each other. There was a female fan of Karen who wanted to eat the same hot dog as her idol... so she got together with Zipperton.
"So has this matter been exposed?" Wang Yuanchao asked with a gossipy look on his face.
Xixi took a look:
"You're not, with that look on your face, uh...yeah. Karen came to surprise Zipperton after the show, and, you know."
Wang Yuanchao said:
"Don't give people surprises. That will turn into shocks. I'll call you in advance every time I come to see you."
Xixi patted Wang Yuanchao's arm and said:
"Did I mess around?"
After a moment of silence, he added:
"If I really want to do something, I will definitely tell you in advance! It has nothing to do with love, you know."
Wang Yuanchao chuckled twice and said:
"How about we go and comfort Zipperton?"
Xixi said:
"He still needs comforting? I guess he's too busy comforting Karen!"
"It's come to this, and he still doesn't want to break up?" Wang Yuanchao was very surprised. How could he still have the face to do that after being caught cheating?
“Why does he want to break up?
Do you know that his girlfriend is the lead singer of the Carpenters band, who is famous throughout the United States. How much popularity she has helped him increase?
He and I are of the same kind!
He couldn't bear to do that." Xixi said confidently.
Wang Yuanchao thought about it and realized that politicians had no chance of maintaining their dignity. It was all about interests.
"Maybe once they know you're back, they'll ask you to help mediate!" Xixi said again. After all, Adam is Karen's boss and a good friend of La Zipton, so it's only right for him to mediate.
Wang Yuanchao sighed:
"Wait until he finds me."
History has become unrecognizable, and he doesn't know if he can predict the future.
