That being said, don’t worry about his campaign. The couple can’t be bosses and subordinates, but they can be consultants. Kenneth intentionally or unintentionally avoided her seeing Charlie. She sees Frank more now. Frank is only better than Ken.

Neath is five years older, and she met him when she was a master's student at Harvard. They were both fraternity buddies.

Frank is mainly responsible for the formulation of proposals, the selection of platforms and strategies, etc., and Charlie is responsible for the campaign schedule and finding money. The three people have disputes from time to time, but in the end Frank and Charlie will compromise. They can also listen to Zhang Wenya's opinions, and there is no such thing.

This is a traditional white man's arrogance. Of course, it is more likely that Kenneth requires them to pay attention to her opinions and suggestions.

As far as Zhang Wenya knows, most of the wives of congressmen will not get involved in their husbands' careers and just focus on being a good wife. Therefore, a strong woman like Laili is not a traditional "good wife". When she was in Arkansas

, Laili is often criticized by the media and voters, and the Democratic Party also believes that she is too strong, and is worried that she will give her husband a bad impression of being "unable to restrain his wife."

Zhang Wenya doesn’t want to be the wife of a full-time congressman, but she can’t be as sharp as Lai Li. The American people are still conservative. The mainstream concept, regardless of whether they are immigrants or what their ethnicity, is to see the country’s leaders have a happy family, a happy love, and a son.

One woman, and two dogs.

We have dogs and other pets, and we have a happy love. Now we only have a son and a daughter.

There are more and more pets at home. Insects include monarch butterflies, which are bought in boxes. There are special rooms to raise butterflies. In the backyards of villas in Washington and Philadelphia, glass greenhouses are being built. After they are covered, flowers and plants can be grown in the greenhouses.

Butterfly; both places also have rabbit houses, cat houses, and kennels. They often run around with cats, dogs, and rabbits, and they already need dedicated people to take care of the pets.

The cats and dogs were given new custom-made collars. The leather collar was engraved with the owner's surname, and also had a small sterling silver tag with the pet's name written on it.

Two pure black Egyptian cats have recently become Zhang Wenya’s favorites. She named them respectively, the male cat is Tutankhamun and the female cat is Nefertiti. When going out, she packs one of them in a leather bag, mostly

It was time for the more docile Nefertiti to accompany the hostess out. Nefertiti won the unanimous favor of the ladies. The ladies rushed to recommend Zhang Wenya cat food, cat scratching posts, and cat climbing frames. Without a cat,

If you scratch the board, the cat will scratch everywhere.

Zhang Wenya listened with great interest to the wives introducing their advanced experience, thinking that it was really interesting. Don't the ladies know that she doesn't care about these trivial matters? There is a waiter at home, and she can ask the waiter to do anything.

She had been struggling for a while, do I need so many people to serve me? Later, she was brainwashed by the butler. The butler stubbornly believed that Her Majesty the Queen should have so many service staff. In his opinion, it was too few! Later she thought about it.

Yes, this is actually providing employment opportunities, as long as you don't treat the waiters as human beings. So she also canceled the terms male servants and maids, and changed them to "domestic attendants".

Celebrities have their own troubles. Take President Kenneth's family for example. Jackie was used to being picky about employees. Back then, siblings Caroline and John had a British nanny. When Kenneth was about seven or eight years old, Jackie

Jackie fired the nanny, and then the nanny wrote a book about Jackie and her children. This incident was inevitable. Because employees have been with their employer day and night for many years and have first-hand information, they are most vulnerable to media scrutiny.

superior.

After the exam week ended, Kenneth took Zhang Wenya to Washington.

The Christmas holiday is coming soon again. This year Christmas is on a Sunday. Congress works until Friday. The Christmas holiday starts on Saturday and will last until Tuesday, January 1st and Tuesday next year.

Nothing happened this week. The general election was decided, and the entire Democratic Party dejectedly accepted the fact that Republican George W. Bush became president.

There are various opinions within the party. Some people complain that Gore did not admit defeat in time, causing voters to complain and dragging down the reputation of the Democratic Party. Some people complain that George W. Bush does not follow military ethics and clearly relies on his younger brother to overturn the situation, steal votes, and miss out.

There are rumors flying all over Florida. Some people say that ballot boxes are missing, and some people say that the number of spoiled ballots is much higher than the normal probability. It is said that Florida missed at least hundreds of thousands of ballots;

Some people complained that the top leaders of the party were still not ruthless enough and did not support Gore very much. But things are better now. Bush Jr. of the Republican Party came to power, and Kerry

These eight years of work will be in vain.

There are also smart people who are already looking at who will be the candidate in four years. Currently, Kenneth Jr. is the No. 1 candidate in the minds of every Democratic congressman; followed by Riley, but Riley was only elected to the Senate this year, and there was no one before.

Her experience as a member of parliament was parachute, and most members did not think highly of her.

According to the wishes of the old white men, they still want to select one or two white men from the senator or governor. The leadership's opinion is to recommend Kenneth Jr. during the primary election, and the other two will choose who is more popular.

As candidates for vice president, the president is young and popular, and the vice president is old and prestigious, which is the most ideal combination. It is also normal practice for the old to lead the new.

Zhang Wenya first objected, "I don't think it's good to choose a senior party cadre. Are you sure you won't be influenced by the other party?"

She said it tactfully, and both Kenneth and Frank understood it.

Kenneth pondered.

Frank said: "It is possible, so I hope... to choose someone who is obviously leaning towards John."

"Where's Riley?"

"Laili... If it was 2008, Laili would be a good fit. If it were 2004, it would be a little early. I'm not thinking about gender, and... can voters accept a female vice president? What I'm thinking about is Lai.

Li has never been a member of the House of Representatives, her foundation in Congress is too shallow and she has no experience."

"Show Aniya your choice." Kenneth said. He held a tennis ball in his hand and kept throwing it to the floor. The tennis ball bounced off the floor, hit the wall, bounced back, and caught it.

.

Frank opened the folder in front of him and handed her two pieces of paper.

There are six people on the list, most of them in their forties or fifties, relatively young, including John Forbes, another senator from Massachusetts.

Forbes has a close relationship with the Kenneth family. He was born into a wealthy family and believed in Catholicism. His maternal grandfather Forbes became rich selling opium in China. His father was a diplomat. He went to boarding school in Europe when he was a child. When he was in college at Yale, Forbes was Edward.

·Working in Kenneth's campaign office, he got an invitation to go on vacation to Kenneth's compound in Hyannis Port, where he met President Kenneth.

It is said that from then on, young Forbes determined to become a politician like President Kenneth.

He also once pursued Jackie's half-sister Jenny and almost became Kenneth Jr.'s uncle.

Forbes is fifty-seven years old this year. He was successfully elected to the Massachusetts Senate at the age of forty-one. He has been re-elected for three terms and is also a long-standing name in the Senate. He once served as a member and chairman of the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee, and his attitude towards China has always been relatively friendly. In terms of qualifications and

In terms of friendship, it's very suitable.

John Forbes's name was first on the list and was the focus of consideration.

The second piece of paper is Forbes' personal information. He participated in the Vietnam War and received a combat medal. To the American people, being a combat hero always has a bonus.

Forbes is more suitable, but a little too arrogant. He is very rich. In addition to his own family's property, he married the widow of the former president of the Heinz Group after his divorce. This unfortunate wife brought a large fortune and three stepsons.

.

The Heinz Group is also a large American company. The second Mrs. Forbes has the right to control the income of her three sons' trust funds and earns a lot of money.

The sound of tennis balls hitting the floor and walls was endless.

“Won’t voters think you’re too ‘Boston’?”

Kenneth shrugged, "I was born in Washington, DC."

Zhang Wenya laughed, "So, you are a southerner?"

"You can say that. But I will not publicly say that I am a 'southern'."

"Forbes is pretty good, but isn't there a more suitable candidate?"

"He has a better resume than anyone else, and he is also very experienced. Voters will want an experienced vice president so that John's age will not be used to attack him."

Zhang Wenya shook his head, "There is nothing to be proud of in gerontocratic politics. Maybe it would be better to choose someone younger, less than fifty years old."

"There is still time, so we can take another look, but if you don't have any objections, John should wait until next summer at the latest to ask Senator Forbes what he wants.

"

Kenneth nodded, "Don't disclose this list to anyone for the time being. Next year I will meet with them one by one to talk to them individually, and then I will make the final decision after we have talked about it."

"The Democratic Party will also give you a choice for vice president, right?"

"Yes, but you have to agree with me." Kenneth caught the tennis ball again, opened the desk drawer, threw the tennis ball in and took out a jingle cake, "Anya, do you want some cake?"

Frank collected the list and left quickly.

Jingle cake is a popular snack that is round and wrapped in tin foil. It is filled with layer cake inside and covered with chocolate coating on the outside.

After being ill, Zhang Wenya was treated like a child by her husband. He always asked her about her physical condition, whether she was feeling better, whether she felt uncomfortable in any way, whether she was hungry or thirsty. In short, the care was a bit too detailed.

.

As the recess approaches, there is nothing major going on in the Capitol. However, I heard that the White House will rush to pass a bunch of proposals after the recess, because the current president is about to leave office and has to stand up for the last time. So this week, every member of the two houses of Congress is at the table

There is a pile of proposal documents on the table, and after the meeting resumes, intensive voting will begin to win approval.

Therefore, it is still a period of large-scale alliances between congressmen. Democratic congressmen have to secure the votes of their own comrades in the party and the votes of moderate Republicans in order to achieve smooth passage.

Little Kenneth, a big killer, also needs to be used.

Zhang Wenya didn't know how he "persuaded" others. He only knew that he often went to other congressmen's offices. Regardless of whether he could convince them or not to complete the task, the staff in the other congressman's office warmly welcomed Congressman Kenneth to come and give guidance. He was so popular

Unparalleled in height.

Caroline went to have heart-to-heart talks with female Republican congressmen, and usually she would get Zhang Wenya.

This week has been colorful, and Zhang Wenya has seen up close how members of Congress work.

She is one of the most special "party | outsiders" in the Capitol. She is not a member, but her role is equivalent to that of a member. When female members come to the Capitol, they are always smarter than male members, and it is harder to fool them.

It is difficult to exchange for actual benefits.

The leader and whip of the Democratic House of Representatives also met with Zhang Wenya respectively and told her some practical skills.

To achieve any goal in the two chambers, exchange of interests is essential. Economic interests, political interests and even "friendship" can be exchanged, and Zhang Wenya has a huge advantage over others: she can be knighted.

Zhang Wenya: Shocked! You Americans really take it seriously!

There are so many people in the Democratic Party who want a title that even Uncle Ted finds it incredible. Even the Republicans cannot escape the huge temptation of a title. They don't even care that it is just a title from an Eastern dynasty without a country and they are salivating over it.

.

——Probably because Aunt Ethel was awarded the title of "Marquisess of Pinn" in October and represented the Queen of the Great Zhou Kingdom at the coronation ceremony of the new Grand Duke of Luxembourg, the only Grand Duchy in Europe.

This means that not only the European royal family recognizes Zhang Wenya, the Queen of the Great Zhou Kingdom, but also recognizes the noble title awarded to her.
