America is in control

Chapter 207 Information Highway and Image Spokesperson

When Kane's impassioned speech came to an end, General Liu restrained his slightly greedy eyes.

When the other party finished speaking, he and the other guests on the platform clapped vigorously.

Next, the environmental protection tree planting activity officially begins, and Liu will follow everyone to the show that has been arranged in advance.

The reason why it is called a show could not be simpler. The pit has been dug long ago and the saplings have been thoughtfully placed in the pit.

All the guests took the white gloves handed by the on-site staff and put them on extremely elegantly.

Then they picked up the shovels that were spotless and seemed brand new from the factory, and each of them posed.

Kane took the lead and symbolically shoveled a handful of soil into the pit where the saplings were placed.

All the guests followed his movements and completed the show step by step.

White light flashed at the scene, reporters kept pressing the shutter, and the cameras faithfully recorded this scene.

After Kane filled in a shovelful of soil, he threw the shovel to the staff on the side, and then took off his white gloves smoothly.

He asked all the guests to follow him back to the venue, and the subsequent tree planting was naturally left to the volunteers.

After all, how could a noble man waste his time on labor!
General Liu went with the flow and followed the large troops closely.

Everyone returned to the venue and started their social activities.

"John, come with me, and I will introduce you to some celebrities who are passionate about environmental protection and public welfare activities!"

Claire took the initiative to find General Liu, and she wanted to introduce some of her connections to him.

The main reason why she did this was to win over the other party and show her strength at the same time.

Favors are like a big web, and Claire is the one at the center of the web.

"Okay, Ms. Claire."

General Liu did not reject the other party. These celebrities have great social influence, and there is no harm in getting to know a few more of them.

The two walked around the venue and started a hypocritical performance.

Claire gave full play to her dancing skills, and General Liu did not give in too much, blending into the crowd easily.

After an unknown amount of time, a burst of noise suddenly came from the door of the venue.

"It's Geer. Deputy Commander Geer is here!"

"Really? Why did he suddenly appear here!"

"Mr. Geer is passionate about environmental protection, and he is very concerned about a series of environmental issues such as global climate change."

Liu Jiang stood next to Claire, listening to the discussions of the people around him.

Deputy Commander? This is the second-ranked figure in the American series!

He actually came to participate in Chicago's environmental tree planting activities. Kane's reputation is really big!
The crowd around them began to slowly move towards the door, but Claire made no move.

When General Liu saw this, he felt a little confused and asked.

"Ms. Claire, don't we have to go greet the deputy commander?"

"That's not necessary! We can meet him later anyway!"

Claire smiled calmly and didn't move even a step.

Liu Jiang felt that the other party seemed to have some prejudice against Geer, or there was some conflict of interest between the two parties.

Since Claire didn't move, it was hard for him to leave the other party and go alone.

Geer slowly walked into the venue under the stars and the moon. He walked like a dragon and looked very imposing.

Wearing a straight and decent black suit, he showed his grace in every gesture.

He had a slicked back hair and a square face. He was tall and stood out from the crowd.

As the organizer of this environmentally friendly tree planting event, Kane greeted the event enthusiastically.

After the two chatted for a few words, Kane led the other party to the podium.

Geer spoke on the stage about a series of issues such as global climate change and environmental protection.

Although his speech was very exciting, General Liu really couldn't arouse any interest, and he was a little disinterested.

These politicians often talk nice, but in fact they don't do anything about it, and few actually implement it.

For example, to reduce carbon emissions, everyone in TM is firing cannons!

They do this not only for a good reputation, but more importantly because environmental issues can bring them huge benefits.

All forces are involved, wearing gorgeous clothes, and doing the sharing of food!

To put it simply, environmental protection is a Big Game, and everyone who participates in it is not a bad person!
Claire noticed that General Liu was absent-minded, so she leaned into his ear and asked in a low and unintelligible voice.

"John, do you also think that what our deputy commander said is a bit exaggerated?"

A flash of light flashed in her eyes, and she looked at Liu Jiang without blinking, expecting the other party's answer.

"Uh! That's not the case. I'm just a little tired. I'm not used to staying in such situations for a long time."

Liu Jiang felt that Claire's question was a bit abrupt, and she seemed to mean something.

But for a while, he couldn't figure out what the other party was thinking.

Although there was physical intimacy between the two, Liu Jiang did not completely believe each other.

Of course he couldn't tell Claire what he was thinking.

To be cautious, Liu Jiang randomly found an excuse and tried to fool him.

After listening to General Liu's answer, Claire turned her head silently.

The expression on her face did not change at all, and she still maintained the standard smile, but she was not satisfied with the other party's attitude in her heart.

When Geer finished his speech, everyone applauded in unison.

The same is true for General Liu. This bit of face must be given to the other party.

Waving to the audience, Geer shouted a few words, "God Bless You! (God bless you!)"

Immediately afterwards, Kane led Geer to the audience and began to introduce the celebrities present to him.

The eyes of the whole audience were focused on these two big guys, and everyone tacitly left a path, waiting for the arrival of the other party.

"Deputy President, let me introduce you to you, this is John."

The two came to General Liu and Claire with their entourage. Kane patted General Liu on the shoulder and introduced them.

At the same time, he quietly gave General Liu a look, telling him to be careful in his words and actions.

"It's such an honor to meet you, Mr. Geer!"

Liu Jiang deliberately pretended to be excited, looking at the other party with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

His performance was impeccable. Geer smiled and extended his hand to General Liu.

"I know you, John, are the boxing champion with the best investment vision!"

Liu Jiang quickly shook hands with the other party and replied humbly.

"Mr. Geer, I'm just lucky."

Geer smiled heartily, and he turned to look at Claire.

"Mrs. Underwood, it's a pleasure to see you here. Your enthusiasm for environmental protection is admirable."

"Deputy President, student, I'm just doing my part!"

Claire also greeted him with a smile, and couldn't see anything unusual. After the two shook hands, Geer turned to look at General Liu and directly put Claire aside.

“John, I’m so happy to see young people like you getting involved in environmental causes!”

"Mr. Geer, environmental protection is closely connected with our lives. Every citizen should actively participate. This is our responsibility and obligation!"

Liu Jiang's face was not red, and his heart was not beating, and he started talking nonsense with the other party.

Geer was very satisfied with the other party's attitude. He smiled and nodded.

After the two chatted a few more words about the future development of the Internet and the computer industry, Kane took Geer and continued walking forward.

After the two bosses walked away, Claire quietly tugged at the corner of General Liu's clothes and whispered.

"John, come with me. I have something I want to talk to you in private."

Although he didn't know what the other party was trying to do, Liu Jiang had a vague feeling that Claire and Geer didn't seem to be dealing with each other very well.

But this has nothing to do with me, let’s listen to what Claire wants to say first!

The two came to a quiet corner, and Claire asked.

"John, do you know Geer?"

Liu Jiang shook his head. This was his first meeting with Geer. How could he possibly understand this person.

"This Geer is an anomaly among the Donkey Party, he is more like a conservative!"

"Ger is anti-abortion, anti-gay, and opposed to the interstate buying and selling of biubiubiu!"

"He supports environmental protection, supports foreign development to a limited extent, and supports the Internet and computer industry!"

"He advocated and promoted the 'information highway' plan and is a staunch supporter of the Internet and computer industry!"

“He is also a member of the Energy and Commerce Committee, the Science and Technology Committee, and the Armed Services Committee.”

Claire talked a lot, and Liu Jiang was confused.

"Wait, Claire, does this have anything to do with me?"

"It's just my first time meeting him. I've never had any dealings with him before!"

"What on earth are you worried about? You can just say it!"

Liu Jiang interrupted the other party's tirade and looked at her with some confusion.

"John, I feel like Geer is very interested in you, haven't you noticed? He spends far more time talking to you than anyone else!"

"You may think that he seems very powerful now, but in fact, this man cherishes feathers very much and will not take action easily for the sake of donors!"

"I suggest you don't get too close to him. It's best to keep a certain distance, otherwise no one will be willing to help you."

Claire's face looked a little ugly, and she spoke righteously to General Liu.

She felt a huge threat from Geer, and his attempt to win over General Liu was too obvious.

How could the potential sponsor that he had finally found be cut off by Geer?

Although there is nothing you can do about Geer, you can influence General Liu to make him wary of Geer.

Claire's words are both true and false, and their purpose is quite clear.

After listening to what the other party said, Liu Jiang became even more confused.

Although Geer seemed to have a very good attitude towards him, he couldn't trust someone he met for the first time so easily.

The most I can do is donate some money to the other party. This is the limit of what I can do at the moment!
Why would Claire threaten her with words to affect her perception of Geer?

Besides, since when did Claire care so much about her own situation! This is too abrupt!

Is it because the conflict between the other party and Geer is irreconcilable?

The other party is worried that he will switch to Geer's camp, causing an imbalance of power between the two sides!

This is unlikely! My size is not that big, and it is far less important!

Is it because he is currently Claire’s biggest financial sponsor? That's why she values ​​herself so much.

Liu Jiang felt that he had vaguely guessed Claire's thoughts.

After thinking for a moment, he spoke.

"Claire, I have no intention of getting close to Geer for the time being, but I will donate a sum of money to his foundation."

"After all, he was the initiator of the 'Information Superhighway' project, and I made a lot of money from the Internet wave."

"No matter what, I have to think about it!"

Liu will decide to carry the water on both sides to make a balance, which can also encourage Claire to work more carefully for herself.

"John, my advice has been given. As for what you do, I have no way to interfere!"

Claire was shocked, but remained calm on the surface. She gave the other party a meaningful look and spoke slowly.

He felt that the other party was a little unhappy, and General Liu didn't care. The relationship between the two was just a matter of interest.

Liu Jiang never felt that he owed anything to Claire.

After the two were silent for a while, they separated.

When the environmental protection tree planting event ended, Liu Jiang did not take the initiative to communicate with Claire.

Liu Jiang was generous and didn't think there was anything wrong.

But something was different about Claire. She felt like she had made a wrong calculation and shot herself in the foot.

After Liu Jiang heard his introduction to Geer, he started to think about contacting him.

What a good thing!

If the other party is really attracted by Geer, what should I do?
By the way, didn’t I discover General Liu’s true preference earlier?

Perhaps we can think of a way to completely win over the other party at this point.

As for the child in her belly, she has no plans to use this killer weapon for the time being.

After the environmental tree planting event, Kane invited all the celebrities present to attend today's dinner.

Geer had already left early because of his busy schedule.

General Liu followed the crowd and came to a banquet hall.

“John, would you be interested in becoming the face of our environmental campaign in the City of Chicago?”

Liu Jiang was enjoying a meal in the buffet area, but unexpectedly, Kane and Meredith suddenly came to him.

"Mr. Kane, I personally am very willing to support environmental protection!"

"But my career has just started to pick up at the moment, and I'm busy with all kinds of mundane things, so I don't have much time at all!"

"I'm very sorry that I can't be the spokesperson for environmental protection activities in Chicago! But I am willing to dedicate myself to the cause of environmental protection!"

Kane tried to take out the checkbook from his pocket, but Kane stopped General Liu from making further moves.

"John, you are very generous. You have donated a large amount before!"

“I know it’s a bit presumptuous to ask to be the face of Chicago’s environmental campaign, but I want you to give it some thought!”

“Save your check for your next environmental event!”

Kane originally had the intention of stabbing him three times, and the reputation of the other party was of great help to him in promoting environmental protection policies.

This is beyond what a small donation can match!
Seeing that the other party stopped his move, Liu Jiang was a little confused. He didn't want to be bound to the other party.
