Chapter 609

"...Do you think he is really just worried about your election next year when he said these things to us?"

It was still in the Oval Office, but this time only Shrub and his son were left.

It was now 3 p.m., and Abel Smith left the white house with his wife, son, and parents.

The fathers and sons in the office began to have real secret conversations between father and son.

George didn't like the way his father asked questions to students as a teacher.

But he didn't dare to disobey his father, because he had always been like this since he was a child.

It can even be said that without such a father, even if he was 10 times more capable than he is now, he would not be able to work in this office today.

The current T&T leading students know this very well.

He is such a self-aware person, which is one of his greatest strengths.

"Father, what do you mean? Does he have his own purpose? So what is Abel's purpose?"

George answered seriously like a student answering a teacher's question.

Herbert sighed inwardly, feeling that it was really difficult for him to ask this kind of question to his eldest son.

There are rumors outside that George's IQ is not high enough. At most, he is only at the level of an ordinary person. He is still a very standard American red-necked person.

What level is this? This is now the 21st century, and many of them still believe that the earth is not round and that the sun revolves around the earth...

If you take out a world map and ask them to find where the Maoist countries are on it, half of them will refer to Africa as Maozi. At most, only half of the remaining half can be chosen correctly.

As a father, Herbert knew that this was the case.

His son is really not that smart, much worse than his second son.

Of course, although he is not particularly smart, he is not stupid or lacks IQ. At most, he is just ordinary.

The key is that there are also advantages, such as the incomparable admiration for myself as a father and obedience to his words.

This allowed George to become an extension of Herbert in terms of governance, allowing Herbert to complete ideas that he had not completed in the past, and also allowed Herbert to push the Bush family further.

Who said that he lost to Zipperton back then? He clearly won the most beautiful war since the founding of the United States by his own hands. He clearly defeated the most powerful enemy in the history of the United States by his own hands.

The result is that because of bullshit economic problems, he actually lost to Rockefeller's illegitimate son!

To this day, Herbert still hates thinking about this incident.

"I don't know, maybe he has some selfish motives. When the economic crisis comes, it's just a carnival in another sense for them."

Herbert thought for a while and continued: "But I'm pretty sure that we are now tied to Abel. Before Alexander publicly participates in the election, he will only stand on our side. So we don't have to go into this aspect. Think about it, what you need to consider is next year's issue that Abel said."

George nodded, "What do you mean, father?"

Herbert usually liked his son's submissive attitude, but now he felt it was a bit of a headache.

Because the bad situation that Abel said might happen next year happens to be the problem that Herbert is least good at and hates.

Economic issues...

He lost too many points in this area back then.

So much so that it was a bit embarrassing to be pulled down by a young man and to speak out.

To this day, whenever someone talks about Zipperton, they like to pull him out and talk about it.

As far as Herbert was concerned, the Arkansas bastard was just lucky. It happened to coincide with the Internet craze in the years when the U.S. economy was booming.

So much so that under certain circumstances, he, who was doing relatively poorly financially, felt like he had become the background of Zipperton.

Herbert hated this feeling, but there was nothing he could do about it.

He's really not very good at this aspect, otherwise he wouldn't have lost so much points that year.

Now that his son had brought up this question, it was hard for him not to answer.

After thinking about it, Herbert could only say softly: "Let the staff and think tanks collect information first and let them make suggestions and judgments in this direction. We will make a decision after referring to it."

This can be considered mature and prudent, after all, Herbert is not very good at this aspect.

What makes Herbert outstanding is mainly in the control of people's hearts and the intrigues in Washington.

In fact, the same is true for many top officials in the United States. They are not good at real governance.

In terms of governance, except for the occasional outstanding figure, most of the time American officials need the help of civilian officials in this regard.

Of course, George listened to his father unconditionally and nodded: "Okay, I'll let them do it!"

Herbert nodded and breathed a sigh of relief, wanting to go for a walk to rest and relax his mind.

After all, I am old, and I have been undergoing strenuous brain activities from morning to now, which consumes a lot of energy.

Unexpectedly, after George finished speaking, he suddenly whispered: "Now I am also his father-in-law. I think Abel can actually provide better advice in this regard..."

Herbert was so angry that he couldn't help gritting his teeth, stopped and said seriously: "Didn't we say it last night? Don't mention it at all, just treat it as if you don't know!"

Do you really think these elders don't know what little Laura did last night?

Oh, these two people are the former ClA boss and former commander. One is the current commander-in-chief, the owner of this white palace.

How could something like this happen in a white house be hidden from the two of them?

Even little Laura can do it so smoothly because of the help of the two of them.

When his father said this, George felt a little aggrieved. He felt that his two young and beautiful daughters were given to that guy like this...

Can't you say a few words now?

However, George had been accustomed to obeying his father since he was a child, so he could only say:

"Okay, okay, I understand. Father, I just mentioned it in front of you. I swear, I will never mention it even in front of Laura."

Herbert nodded and thought about it for a while, feeling a little worried. He explained to his son: "Don't feel sorry for Jenna and Barbara. You know, Barbara is a little better, but Jenna is definitely very serious about this kind of thing." I'm happy to. I still remember the look of disappointment on Jenna's face when I announced that little Laura would marry Smith."

"So when something like this happens, it's even a good thing from their point of view. All we need to do is help cover it up. If you really want to do your daughter's good, this is the right thing to do."

George has never been an infatuated person. It can be said that what Neil used to be is what he used to be.

The two brothers were very bad in this regard. The difference was that George was being watched by Herbert, and the requirements in all aspects were stricter. After all, he was the eldest son who wanted to inherit the family business, so he was not as bad as Neil when he was young.

In this regard, George is really not some kind of virtuous man or a mysophobic.

It is impossible for such a person to escape in the United States today.

The same goes for the great Eastern countries. The so-called Dirty Tang Dynasty and the Dirty Feudal Dynasty were precisely the times when the East was the strongest in ancient times.

There is a reason for this!

"I know, I know." George shrugged. "I understand, Father. I know what to do."

Herbert glanced at his son again and found that his expression did indeed look like he was thinking the same thing.

The old shrub nodded with relief, got up and walked outside.

"In short, you have to know that there are disadvantages, but there are more advantages. If you put yourself in Jeb's shoes, he would be more proactive than you. It's a pity that Noash has no brains, and it's a pity that she has been in Florida for a long time. I can't control it."

Before walking out of the office, he turned back to his son.

"Even...if Neil knew about this, I think he might want to push Noli to little Laura..."

With that, Herbert opened the door and left, leaving George to ponder the possibility.

After thinking about it for a while, George felt that it was most likely true.

That guy Neil, as the eldest brother, George understands his character so well.

In the late 1980s, while working at Silverado Bank in Denver, Neal co-founded an oil and gas exploration company, an old Bush family tradition.

Neil probably wanted to cosplay Dad at the time, because that's how Herbert made his fortune in business in the first place.

It's a pity that Neil doesn't have Herbert's abilities.

The company eventually collapsed, and Neil not only had to pay compensation to the bank, but also worked hard to reduce the negative impact of his actions on the surname "Shrub."

At that time, the person responsible for wiping the butt of the third shrub was him, the boss, who was already doing quite well.

In addition, George also felt that Neil was more outrageous than himself.

His third brother even publicly admitted: "I have indeed had extramarital sex with many women. As for the specific number, I can't remember the exact number."

Could this be said by an important member of the Zhengji family?

George has never felt that he is the worst among the four brothers, because there is another one who is worse...

But it was precisely because of Neil's character that George really felt that it was possible as his father said - Neil also gave away his youngest daughter, Laura's sister, Nolly Bush, who was only 12 years old this year. .

Don't think that this kind of thing won't happen. This kind of thing is really not a rare thing in Washington, or in the political circles of the United States.

The nastiness and filthiness in this industry are only worse than those in the entertainment industry.

As George knew, Mrs. Zipper had a close relationship with her husband's real biological father.

Even a wife can... a daughter or something is really not a problem.

"It seems like I'm still taking advantage? Rockefeller is an old guy, and he doesn't mind zippers. And they still have that kind of relationship."

"Abel is young and handsome, and my daughter still likes him..."

Thinking of this, the last trace of grievance in George's heart disappeared.

He shifted his focus from this trivial matter to the issue hihis father and Abel talked about next year.
