Chapter 247

Chapter 247 DC District and the family party

What happened during this period was a disaster for the small and medium-sized entertainment media.

To these screaming paparazzi journalists, it was a prison disaster.

But for Abel, it was simply the result of a few phone calls, a few extra favors and a little extra money spent.

As a result, from then on, all entertainment media in America would become especially cautious when talking about Abel Smith.

The paparazzi reporters who were crazy about him before have become especially cautious about this. At this time, "American Sun" quietly stood up in the industry and obtained a no-materials business charter.

Journalists with charters here can enjoy a kind of immunity when reporting on certain data.

But the condition is that they and their newspapers must pass the American Sun's editorial test on this issue.

In the United States, there is indeed freedom of opinion.

But very often, freedom of public opinion occurs only between real capitalists and these elites. The freedom of public opinion of ordinary people is the freedom of public opinion that the upper class allows them to see.

Like figures like Buffett and Soros.

You can see content critical of both in some US media.

But as long as you observe carefully, you will see that this content is not painful at all.

When it comes to scandals, or making them big. Unless it is hostility during an election campaign, nothing can be reported.

This is the unwritten rule of the upper floors.

June 8.

Northeast United States.

Washington, District of Columbia. Night falls and the lights come on. The bright lights make downtown DC look beautiful and rustic.

About ten o'clock at night.

There were people coming one after another, from Columbia Center to Washington.

This person coming out of the White House symbolizes the supreme power on this planet. Among the arrivals were Abel and Laura Shrub Lauren, who had just arrived from New York for the day.

Today is the day that the owner of the White House, little Laura's uncle, holds a dinner at the White House.

On this day, there are more than 30 people across America, including workers, soldiers, athletes, entertainment stars, businessmen, engineers, scientists and even housewives.

These people were invited to Washington today to attend the banquet given by the Grand Commander this evening.

Of the more than 30 people, 11 received the Commander-in-Chief of Freedom today.

Three more people won the special version of the Outstanding Grand Commander's Medal of Freedom.

The difference between the two is that only one of the former has a collar badge.

While the latter has a higher level, there are also stars and great ribbons.

Abel, who came out of the white house, now wears the star and the great ribbon that are envied by all Americans and many people in the world.

This means that what he got was the Medal of Freedom for the Outstanding Grand Commander. At tonight's White House dinner, only about thirty people from American society were invited.

But everyone can bring a female partner or a male partner.

Abel's companion is little Laura.

At the beginning of the year, Shrub and Abel called and announced that he would receive the Medal of Freedom.

Not yet delivered, it's not like the little bush delayed too much. Every two years, successive US leaders award the Medal of Freedom.

There are often several at a time, and some have more than a dozen at a time.

After the award, under normal circumstances, such a dinner at the White House would be arranged.

Collect the winners and reward them at the same time.

Holding Laura's hand, Abel walked out, the two of them talking softly as they walked. ". I found the wild mushroom soup with black truffles not bad, the flavor was delicious. But I suspect they are not wild black truffles at all. Their flavor is a bit different from the wild black truffles I've had.

"They may not be wild mushrooms. I prefer the Colorado lamb with sauteed garlic. It's enough to keep me full for the whole dinner! »

"Ha~ You even ate my share."

"No way, the White House kitchen is so stingy, there's only one meal per person. You won't be able to finish your portion."

"."

Looking at the serious expression of her stingy boyfriend in the white house kitchen, little Laura was a little speechless.

She thought to herself: At such a party, perhaps he is the only one who can focus on the meal and ignore everyone else.

You know, this is dinner at the White House!

This is one of the most popular dinners in the world and one of the least known dinners in the world. Perhaps what is on the banquet table is not a delicacy. But all things beyond the dinner table can determine the direction of the world in many cases.

Dinners like this only happen a dozen or twenty times a year.

Most of them are used to entertain foreign heads of state as well as ministers.

The number of times a normal person can eat is really too few. But little Laura thought about it for a second, using her own family and Abel's strength.

And Abel's age.

As long as Abel is willing, it is estimated that he can eat it several times a year in the future.

This kind of party, beyond the reach of ordinary mortals, was not very difficult for Abel.

Thinking about it like that, it's understandable, he didn't do anything, that is, he received the medal and ate it forever. Chatting loudly, the two walked out of range of the White House.

Outside, under secret service surveillance, Edward went to meet Abel in his car.

"Alright." After bringing Abel here, little Laura gently kissed Abel's side, "I won't go with you."

She said: "I will play with you tomorrow!"

"Alright." Just before leaving, Abel knew she would stay at the White House tonight.

Baby Laura's parents were also present at the party tonight.

Tonight three forest chiefs came. Little Bush, Governor of Texas 2 Little Bush and father of little Laura 3 Little Bush.

The Bush family comes to the party tonight except for the fourth child and Herbert.

"This." Abel pointed to the other side of his face: "Here, you can kiss me too."

Little Laura smiled and asked for a kiss, but Abel caught her and the two kissed for a while.

After blowing her away, Abel got in the car and left.

Little Laura walked towards the white house with a relaxed and happy step. A moment later, she came to a small side hallway.

At this time, the dinner at the White House was over.

Most of the guests, like Abel, left one by one.

In this small room next door, except for a few White House staff.

The others are all members of the shrub family. Herbert's four sons, except the youngest, left the United States on business.

The remaining three are here.

These are their wives and children.

I watched little Laura walk in with a smile on her face and walking leisurely.

Currently, the hostess of the White House, Laura Wales, first lady of the United States, smiled and said:

"Oh~ look at our adorable little Lauren. She looks so happy, even her walk is like playing a "Scottish Dance"~"

"Scotch Dance" is a work by Beethoven, famous for its extremely joyful and flexible rhythm.

The first lady's words caused the chattering bushes in the small hallway to focus on little Laura.

At this time, Uncle Laura's wife, Columba Ganica, a man of Mexican origin, also smiled and said:

"I see, that's the taste of happiness. Dear little Lauren, can you share your happiness with us? Let's be as happy as you."

The friendly teasing of the two adults also made little Laura laugh. She replied seductively: "I'm so glad everyone is here today!"

"Hahaha~" Among the brothers, the witty and kindest brother Xiaoshu took the lead and laughed.

One of the heads of his bush family smiled and everyone laughed amicably.

In the small side hall, a cheerful atmosphere reigned among the members of the shrub family.

These laughs are mostly friendly and fun.

Only Janica and Jeb, Columba's daughters, and Ainosh Bush, Laura's cousin, were a little unhappy. Because today, Ainosh met the real Abel for the first time.

She didn't expect Abe Smith to be so tall and handsome.

The reason she was unhappy was because Abel was so tall and handsome, and according to her, could become her future husband!

Because there was a time in the bush family when they came up with the idea of ​​marrying into the Smith family.

Like four women in a family without much difference in age.

Little Laura's twin daughters, Ainosh and Little Bush, Barbara and Jenna, are both options. Because they were twins, the little bush had already won the election at that time.

With both their identities more sensitive, the twins were abandoned.

The only people who will marry into the Smith family are Ainosh and Little Laura.

At that time, Ainosh felt there was a high possibility that it was him.

Little Laura was a little too small for her. Little Laura was only sixteen years old, at that time she was not even sixteen years old.

Ainosh is the same age as Abel so he is the most suitable age.

As a result, after the family asked for their opinions, grandfather Herbert asked little Laura to marry the other person.

Ainosh was very angry but did not dare to anger the elders.

Finally, right after Christmas, during the fellowship between the Smith family and the Bush family, Ainosh deliberately appeared angry and did not participate. She wasn't the married heroine of Little Laura, she didn't go there, and her family didn't force her at that time.

Abel did not see Ainosh that day and Ainosh did not see him either.

But today, Ainosh saw Abel holding little Laura's hand while attending a dinner at the White House.

In one look.

Abel was tall and handsome, making Ainosh feel a bit off balance. At this moment, Ainosh looked at his cousin who was surrounded by everyone with a bit of jealousy.

Thanks to the education of the Herbert family, the most important thing is the bonds of the old Barbara family.

In addition to the shrub family, this is a very traditional Protestant Puritan family that places great importance on family members and internal relationships.

This also allows members of the shrub family to maintain good internal relationships.

Currently, little Laura is being teased by two adults. Even the two elders occasionally said a word or two.

Little Laura's parents were also looking on with smiles of their own.

Except for Ainosh who was sulking next to him, the bushes were all very happy right now.

As for Abel, after little Laura left, he sat in the car.

The car turned a few times, and soon a car behind approached to form a convoy with its car. Currently, he is the center of power in this country.

Washington, District of Columbia, is essentially known to Americans as the District of Washington.

Not Warner's DC.

Internationally, it is commonly known as Huadu, Washington and is the capital of the United States of America.

It is close to Virginia and Maryland, located in the northeastern United States and the Mid-Atlantic region. It was established as the capital in 1790 and is a special administrative division under the jurisdiction of the United States Congress. Therefore, it does not belong to any state in the US.

Its area is small, just over 170 square kilometers, with a population of hundreds of thousands of people.

It is home to most US federal government agencies and the embassies of many different countries in the United States.

It is also the headquarters of international organizations such as the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the Organization of American States.

Having said that, it doesn't matter whether it is the original Abel or the current Abel.

As of today, this is the first time I have come to DC.

It's late at night, and I have an appointment with little Laura tomorrow.

Abel didn't leave DC, so he just stayed here.

He lived in the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in DC, a top five-star hotel.

It is so luxurious that it is only one or two kilometers away from the white house, and the straight-line distance is only separated by a big lake. The white house is opposite the big lake.

At the same time, this hotel is also one of the most preferred hotels for a large number of foreign personnel who come to Washington and do not stay at the embassy.

Abel suspected that this hotel was so close to the white house.

It may even be the front desk, which is disguised as an agent of FBl or CLA. Otherwise, guests stay at this hotel.

You can even swim across the big lake to get to the white house on the other side.

Abel lives in the Congress Suite on the top floor, which costs about $10,000 a night.

Service and installation standards are at Waldorf Astoria levels.

There is nothing to say about other aspects. Because he was in DC, Abel always felt like there were cameras, bugs, and agents from many different agencies around him.

This made it impossible for him to make even a few phone calls after recording.

After checking into the hotel, he first ran for a while on the treadmill in the room.

Then take a bath, then go to sleep peacefully.

His body clock made him wake up early the next day, after exercising and showering afterward. He didn't even eat breakfast, and right before the entrance to the Waldorf Astoria hotel in Washington, he got into the secret service car sent by the White House.

After realizing the identity of this car, even Abel was a little surprised.

Because it was sent by the White House, the car that came to pick him up was nicknamed "Car No. 1".

This is a reused Cadillac Fleetwood model, identified by the White House as a Command Vehicle in 1993, and many safety features have been added to protect the safety of the driver and passengers.

The difference is that the real number 1 car will have a flag similar to a red flag. Car #1 that came to pick up Abel's flag was empty.

This may be due to fear of adverse effects and it may not be necessary to remove the flag first.

After all, from the outside, without the flag, it looks like a Cadillac Fleetwood with modified tires.

Abel saw that the person who came to pick him up was the familiar Marcus and the security director of the small bush.

Abel also explained a few things to Edward and then got on car number 1. Car No. 1, under the protection of two other Cadillac SUVs, left the Waldorf Astoria hotel and slowly headed towards the White House not far away.

Turning around in the garden of the giant white house, car number 1 finally arrived in front of a door.

Marcus went to open the door for Abel and said respectfully: "Mr. Smith, please come this way." Commander, Mr. Bush, Mrs. and ladies are waiting for you.

Abel patted Marcus and suddenly said in a low voice: "If you retire in the future, you can consider working at Rock Security." Edward already told me that.

Marcus was stunned for a moment then looked surprised.

Marcus said, "I will, I will, thank you very much, Mr. Smith."

"But before that, I also hope you can protect Lauren. She is my lover, ensuring her safety is also one of the most important security tasks." Abel smiled and said to Marcus.

Marcus smiled and said: "I understand, Ms. Lauren is also my safe guard."

"Okay. Please, Marcus, take me now. I haven't had breakfast yet, I'm hungry."

"Oh oh oh ~ please come this way, Mr. Smith." Marcus quickly led the way.

The Secret Service captain clearly knows the internal structure of the White House.

Soon after, Marcus took Abel to a small restaurant.

In this restaurant there is a long table.

The long table was covered with a clean white cloth and filled with all kinds of Western tableware. Both sides of the long table, when Abel entered, were filled with members of the bush family.

Little Bush is sitting in the main seat. He was talking to his second brother Jeb when Abel entered.

As soon as he saw Abel come in, George even raised his head and waved to Abel:

"Hey, Abel, he's finally here. We are waiting for you, hurry up. Little Lauren won't let us start if you don't come! If you don't come, we will all starve! »

Little Laura, sitting next to her mother, immediately protested in a low voice: "I didn't do that."

"Hahaha~"

Amid George's cheerful laughter, Abel was placed next to little Laura.

Opposite is the Ainosh bush.

After sitting down, Abel looked around.

It is known that, besides the small family of Shushu's fourth child, Herbert and his wife and others were not present.

Today's breakfast is a small internal gathering of the bush family. Clearly looking at this scene, the bush family considered Abel to be its inner member.

When Abel arrived, the morning had already begun.

What they eat for breakfast is actually no different from Americans whose wealthy families live far away from home.

These are bread, eggs, milk, slices of bread, small pastries and small sausages.

Everyone also ate very well. Americans don't really pay attention to eating without talking. When the Bush family gathered for breakfast, they spoke in their own way.

Like George, he conversed with the second and third brothers sitting to his left and right.

From afar, Abel could hear them talking, mostly related to Florida and Neal's business.

As for Abel, he also gently spoke to little Laura. To be
