January 22nd, 2 PM.
In the huge conference hall of the parliament building, the members of parliament were voting on Andy's appointment.
The Minister of Science and Technology, the Minister of Energy, the Minister of Finance, the Director of the Blue Palace Office, and even the Deputy Minister of State for Military Affairs were all voted to approve Andy's appointment.
However, when it came to the final appointment of the National Martial Official, there was a dispute.
Andy participated in the presidential election as a member of the Republic Party. His success in the election represented the success of the Republic Party.
From past history, the president and the Minister of State Affairs usually belonged to two parties.
If both the president and the Minister of State Affairs belonged to the same party, then it was almost equivalent to a one-party government.
The dispute was intense. The Morgan Consortium's Senators firmly supported Andy's decision, even though some of them were from the Liberal Party and some were from the Liberal Party.
However, the interests they represented were Morgan Financial Group.
Only a large consortium could place a large number of their own people in the Senate.
This was also why some people said that the US president was just a wage earner for the top ten consortiums in the US. It was because they had the ability to mobilize the Senate to remove the president!
There had been a dispute over the candidate for the National Martial Affairs Minister.
Some people agreed with Andy's appointment, while others expressed that Greece would continue to serve as the Minister of State.
The final vote was coincidentally maintained at 50:50!
In this case, the president of the Senate, who did not have the right to vote previously, was needed to vote.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Vice President Baibo.
Baibo looked at Andy, who was sitting in his seat with his eyes closed and didn't say a word.
Voting their own opinions.
"I agree with President Andy's appointment as the National Martial Arts Commissioner!”
Perhaps the Senators were still unaware of what had happened on Pennsylvania Avenue.
However, as the vice president, he had received the news long ago.
This was a very strong and iron-blooded president. If she went against him, she would have to make things difficult for herself in the future.
After the vote was passed, Andy, who had been resting with his eyes closed, finally opened them.
He looked at Vice President Baibo and smiled at him.
Bai Bo didn't know why, but he quickly smiled.
……
On the way back to the Blue Palace, Si Jiali, her personal bodyguard and temporary assistant, said to Andy,"
"Mr. President, just now, a middle-aged man who has been unemployed for four months in the State of Arizona committed suicide by jumping off a building.”
"Before he committed suicide, he left a suicide note saying that you killed him. If it weren't for you, Lucian's re-election as president would have brought him a position. And all you brought to him was despair.”
"This matter has caused a heated discussion on the Internet. Countless people are criticizing you. He said that an 18-year-old youth becoming the president was the beginning of the country's decline. He also said that you only know how to brag about working hard to achieve a free economy and that you don't understand economics at all.
People are calling on the internet for the Senate to remove you from the position of president and let Lucian or Greece take over.”
After listening to Scarlet's report, Andy's expression did not change at all.
It was normal for an 18-year-old Asian boy to be the president of the United States.
When Lu Xi'an was the president, he was also opposed by many people.
Only by taking action could he shut these people up.
Otherwise, no matter how much you said, no one would believe you.
"I understand."
Andy said indifferently and continued to close his eyes to rest.
Last night, he had been too crazy with Jessica. Fortunately, his body had been strengthened by the system.
Otherwise, how could he have the energy to deal with all kinds of government affairs now?
He revealed a contemptuous smile and said softly,""You said I don't understand economics? I wonder what reason you will use to criticize me when the only nomination list for the Nobel Prize in Economics is released tomorrow?”
A year ago, Andy published an economic theory that caused a sensation in Europe and the United States.
At one point, Citicorp even wanted to take this economic theory for itself.
This also led Andy to resign from the bank and join the Morgan Consortium.
He just didn't expect that his economic theory from back then would actually get him nominated for this year's Nobel Prize in Economics, and he was the only one nominated.
One could imagine the expressions of those who said he didn't understand economics when the Nobel Committee announced the nominees for the Nobel Prize tomorrow.
……
As soon as they returned to the Blue Palace presidential office, Jessica took her seat and Andy brought over a pot of tea that she had brewed herself.
Jessica didn't have much to do recently, so she planned to stay here for three to five days. Andy naturally agreed with her.
Holding Andy's hand, Jessica looked into Andy's eyes and said,""Andy, I know what happened today. Fortunately, you're fine.”
Andy smiled." Jessica, you've known me for two years. When have you ever seen me suffer?"”
"That's true." Jessica chuckled." Every time someone offends you, there's always someone who'll help you solve the problem without you needing to step in. I couldn't understand it before, but now that I think about it, this is probably the wisdom my father often talks about.”
Taking a sip of the Da Hong Pao that Jessica had personally brewed, Andy said,""Alright, Jessica, I think Uncle Jeff has told you who organized today's demonstration, right?”
The connections and power of the top ten consortiums in the United States were too strong. They could not be underestimated.
There were some things that they knew before the US President.
There were also some things that they could not even let the US President know.
This was because almost all the officials under the president were filled with their manpower.
The title of the president of the United States was not a joke.
Jessica pouted." I really can't hide anything from you.”
"My dad said that the consortium is behind this demonstration. The specific planner is Smith, who lost a leg to you last time.”
"Hehe, it really is this old fellow."But this time, it's not something that can be solved with a broken leg."”
"I wanted to wait until I was familiar with the country's government affairs before I attacked you. Now it seems that I have to teach you a heavy lesson first.”
