Chapter 601

3005 Northwest 45th Street, Washington, DC. This is an exquisite villa with eight bedrooms and 13 bathrooms.

It is located in the middle of the city center and suburbs of DC. Many members of Congress and white house bureaucrats live here. It can be regarded as one of the top wealthy areas in Washington.

Councilor Neil Bush and his wife live here for many years now. Only when I'm busy will I live in an apartment in the city center, near the Capitol.

Speaking of the fact that Neil Bush became a member of Parliament, many of his friends when he was young and many people who knew his character found it a bit incredible.

This starts with the characteristics of each of Herbert's four sons.

The eldest son, George, had very poor grades since he was a child, but later he created the glory of father and son as great commanders, so the past is forgotten. The second son, Jeb, has been an excellent student since he was a child. He is "other people" in every sense of the word. "Children of the family" is now the governor of Florida; the fourth son is very low-key, a good boy who inherits the family's conservative tradition, not outstanding but not out of the ordinary.

The third son, Neil, is hard to talk about. First of all, he is a top student, much like his elder brother.

When he was young, he attended the most famous private boys' school in Washington. The school told his mother Barbara unceremoniously: Your son has problems with reading and writing and will never graduate...

If it hadn't been for the fact that there was already a big brother in front of him, "Zhuyu is ahead", Neil would probably have made his mother Barbara very angry.

Fortunately, at that time, the Shrub family had already spanned the political, financial, petroleum and publishing industries, so naturally they could not allow their son to fail to even graduate from middle school.

What's more, there is a big brother's template in front of him. He is steady and ruthless in everything. The third brother, Neil, improves his grades and enters Tulane University.

As for whether he really improved his grades, or whether his grades improved himself, that is another matter.

After that, his job was to work for his father and brothers, holding consultant titles in various companies, building relationships, earning millions of dollars, and exposing credit or economic scandals more than once.

That was it, until Abe Smith came out of Texas.

Since then, Neil Bush, who did not have his big brother's life but suffered from his big brother's disease, had his life changed.

From the original standard playboy who could only wait to die and rely on his father and brother to take care of him, he suddenly became a rising star in the country and one of the prominent figures.

All I can say is that he gave birth to a good daughter.

So why were Herbert and Neil so tolerant of Abel's "hobby" in certain aspects from the very beginning, when Abel was not as prominent as he is now?

From Herbert's perspective, he was very optimistic about Abel. At the same time, among the four sons, the eldest, second and youngest have been helped to take over by him. Even if he dies now, he will live a good life later.

Only this third child can't do anything. Fortunately, I married a beautiful wife and gave birth to a beautiful daughter.

If you lose your reputation, you will lose a granddaughter. In doing so, he could win over a new family with great potential, and also find a backer for the unreliable third child. At that time, Herbert acquiesced in Abel's philandering.

Not to mention Neil himself, who had relied on family arrangements since childhood to reach the status he had before meeting Abel. Now it's just that the former father and brother have been replaced by the daughter's husband and his son-in-law.

For him, who has been accustomed to everything going smoothly since childhood, there is nothing unacceptable for him.

So he is now one of the members of Capitol Hill, one of the members of the Imperial Glory.

In the early morning of October 12th, on the exquisite green lawn of the villa, the sunshine in Washington, which has become much milder after October, shone lazily.

As if looking at a supreme treasure, Neil carefully took Abel Bush Smith, a baby who had just turned 4 months old, from his daughter's hands.

"He looks really handsome." Mr. Congressman sighed, with an unhidden love for the baby in his eyes and brows, and this love definitely comes from the heart.

Because he knew very well that this was his future for the rest of his life, and even one of the great guarantees for his sons' future.

If this little baby grows up well, he and his descendants will always be helped.

Under such circumstances, how could Neil not really like his grandson?

"That goes without saying." His wife Maria Jaken Bush also said with a smile: "This is the child of Abel and Laura!"

Maria was a beauty when she was young and came from the Jackon family in Washington.

The Jaken family is not considered a wealthy family in the country, but it has been rooted in Washington for hundreds of years and has produced many establishment bureaucrats. They never get involved in the dispute between donkeys and elephants. They always work for whomever is in charge. They are equivalent to civil servants in the British civil service system. Their positions are much more stable than the chief officials who come and go in the white house.

Because no matter who is in charge, they must use these middle-level figures to do things, otherwise they will have to shut down.

When she was young, Maria Jaken worked as a secretary in a department related to the White House.

Later, by chance, she was spotted by Herbert, the then Elephant Party whip, and specially selected as the wife of his most incompetent son.

When facing ordinary people and ordinary social elites, the Jaken family is certainly very prominent and can even be said to be terrifying.

But compared to Shrub, who was already capable of participating in the party's internal elections at that time, it can only be said to be a small undertaking.

Coupled with the fact that Herbert was so popular at the time, the Jaken family naturally had no choice but to follow the elder's hints.

Maria Jaken became Neil Shrub's wife and gave birth to three children to Neil after eighteen years of marriage.

The eldest daughter is little Laura.

Since marrying Neil, Maria has always been low-key and reserved, and she can be regarded as a good wife for Neil. It must be said that Herbert is indeed a dragon among men, and his vision is indeed very good, and he has chosen such a good daughter-in-law.

However, in parallel time and space, there was no Abel Smith around Neil Bush. Little Laura was not told by her family who her future husband was when she was 14 or almost 15 years old.

In a parallel time and space, Neil and Maria divorced after 23 years of marriage.

At that time, an angry Maria Jaken stood up and shocked the Bush family in the media, exposing Neil's erotic stories, saying that he often looked for women while on business trips to Asia, and later even kept a "mistress" under her nose. , this mistress who has been raising for several years is also Neil's mother's secretary, and the woman is a married woman!

It must be said that little Laura's mother was not a soft character, as she dared to attack the Bush family when George was still the commander-in-chief.

Even at that time, there must be support behind her and the Jaken family.

She looks so tender and affectionate now, it's just that she hasn't been pushed into a hurry.

However, Neil Shrub now probably doesn't dare to force the main palace to leave the palace in order to help the mistress to rise to the top like in the parallel time and space.

Because he must consider the thoughts of his daughter and son-in-law, especially the son-in-law.

After all, little Laura would obviously side with her mother in this regard anyway.

As her man, even if he and his old father-in-law had a "common language" in this regard, Abel obviously couldn't stand on Neil's side.

So today, although Neil Shrub occasionally has the bad habit of eating wild game and tasting wild flowers - even his father has this little problem.

But like in the parallel time and space, he would never dare to raise a mistress under the nose of his wife, or even kick his wife away in order to help the mistress get a higher position.

Maria no longer has this problem. Her son-in-law is now so prominent, her husband has become a member of Congress, and her father-in-law, eldest uncle, and second uncle are both commander-in-chief and governor. Where can Maria Jaken Bush not be? satisfy?

Naturally, the relationship between husband and wife will be harmonious and everything will be prosperous.

At this time, she and her husband carefully held Abel Bush Smith and expressed their love for her grandma and grandpa.

Little Laura stood behind her mother and father, smiling and discussing interesting things about Abel II with them. Behind her, there were Abel's brother-in-law and sister-in-law, who were looking at her nephew eagerly, occasionally with awe or admiration. To my brother-in-law.

The eyes of awe came from my brother-in-law, and the eyes of admiration came from my sister-in-law.

Speaking of sisters-in-law, Laura, the 12-year-old sister, obviously inherited more of her father's genes, and her appearance is in the direction of George's two daughters.

I can't say it's ugly, but I can't say it's pretty either.

However, Abel remembered that ridiculous night four months ago.

I don't know if George really didn't know anything about his daughter, or if they didn't tell their father. Or maybe George knew about it and pretended not to know...

Anyway... Abel thinks it's a good experience to come here once in a while. After all, you have a young and beautiful body, and if the light is insufficient, your appearance will automatically increase by 30% BUFF.

Driven by the powerful male hormone secretion and reproductive instinct, it seems that it is not impossible to do it again... The premise is that there must be no trouble!

Looking at the warm scene of his wife, her family, and his children, Abel was thinking wildly.

Suddenly, "Dingdong——".

The message beep on his cell phone sounded, and Abel slowly took out a boxy candy bar cell phone from his pocket.

If anyone is discerning here, they will definitely notice at a glance that this phone is different from most of the phones currently on the market.

First of all, compared with many mobile phones on the market, it is very large. Not only is it large in size, but the screen on the front is also "exaggeratedly" large, at least twice as big as a normal mobile phone.

What's more striking is that there is only one button on the front, which is very unusual.

This mobile phone is what Apple has announced in advance and will be released early next year. It is said to be a super smart phone ahead of its time. Currently, it only has a codename and no model of the first-generation Apple mobile phone!

The one Abel got was a prototype, a specially tuned version, with signals and other aspects enhanced and encrypted.

Costing tens of thousands of dollars each, it was something he specially took from Steve Jobs to try out.

However, he took a dozen of them and had them specially prepared and transformed. He kept one for himself and gave the others to his women.

Although in the eyes of Abel, who has experienced the glorious era of smartphones, due to technological development and the limitations of the times, it is ridiculously crude.

It is much worse than the HTC g3 and iPhone 3g in parallel time and space.

But now in 2003, Nokia's flagship is still the flip phone 7280, and the system is Symbian 20.

No matter how crude it is in Abel's eyes, compared with other mobile phones of the same era, it is still almost like a product in a science fiction movie.

Not only in appearance, but also in terms of functionality, it is much better than flip phones at this time.

Thanks to the vigorous promotion of 3G networks by several major telecom operators in the United States, it is very fast in receiving MMS messages that can send photos.

At the same time, the screen is larger than that of ordinary mobile phones, which also gives it more advantages in viewing pictures.

Just because everything is too advanced, its current cost cannot be reduced at all. Because the development of the industrial chain has not kept up, most of the accessories were customized by Jobs at a large price, and even Apple was directly involved in the research and development.

It is not a product that comes naturally, and the price of raw materials and accessories is a flaw.

Even if it goes on the market in January next year, sales probably won't be very good.

It's one thing that the price is very high, but it has all the problems that the iPhone 3g has in parallel time and space, and it also has some problems that it doesn't have due to technological development issues.

For example, the signal is not very good, there is no software that can be used, there are many bugs in the software that can be used, and so on.

In this regard, it is destined that its sales volume will not be very good, and it may be a product that is not well received.

Apple's shareholders will probably be very dissatisfied with this, because they spent a lot of money but made no profit at all, and even suffered losses.

But Jobs didn't care either.

First of all, Apple's board of directors belongs to him. If shareholders want to object, they must first hold a shareholders' meeting to deal with the board of directors before they can attack him.

Just think of a way to delay it in the meantime, and it took a few months.

More importantly, the largest shareholder among the shareholders is very supportive of him. This shareholder is even the initiator of Apple's early research on mobile phones...

With the support of this shareholder, Jobs was really not afraid of dissatisfaction from other shareholders.

This shareholder is naturally Abel.

So even if the first generation may not sell well, Jobs, a madman, will definitely continue to develop the second or even third generation.

Using an Apple prototype that was ordinary in his own eyes but might have been considered very high-end in the eyes of contemporary people, Abel unlocked it and looked at the contents inside.

It's a picture message.

Looking at the contents of the MMS message, Abel's already warm face became even gentler.

What he received was from Charlize, who was using the same cell phone as him, a photo of her and little Aaliyah on the beach in Hawaii.

Wearing a cute children's swimsuit, little Alia, who is more than one year old and almost two years old, is sitting on the beach and playing in the sand. Standing next to her is a straw hat, sunglasses, and a one-piece swimsuit, with her upper body tightly wrapped. Theron, who was tight and facing the sea, showed off her good figure. She was absolutely shining on the beach, so beautiful!

I have to say that Charlize's figure is indeed impressive. Abel looked through the photos with a smile on his face, looking at little Aria's innocent smile and Charlize's confident smile.

Looking up, there was little Laura looking at him, talking to her parents and smiling gently at him, and Abel II in her arms.

To be honest, Abel felt very warm in his heart at this time.

He has never regretted being so indiscriminate, let alone getting pregnant with so many women and letting them give birth to his children.

To live a new life, with so many resources at his disposal, he would definitely live a vigorous and exciting life without leaving any regrets.

Not only did he become the foreign version of King Jing of Zhongshan, but he also wanted to have many descendants and leave his indelible mark on the world.

Otherwise, why make so much money?

As animals, what is the essence of survival? Isn't it to better spread one's genetic material in this world?

So he doesn't think there's anything wrong with doing this, because this is the most powerful instinct of human beings - to let genes be passed on as long as possible.

For this reason, the cells in your body can even directly launch an immune storm to kill you and the viruses in your body for the safety of your entire group...

Not only humans are like this, but other animals and plants on the earth are also like eggs.

It can be said that this is the eternal theme of carbon-based organisms on earth.

So I was right, because reproduction is the essence of living things!
