America is in control

Chapter 306 Charity Dinner Invitation and Renewal of the Relationship
"Old friend, environmental protection needs more young people's attention. I just want John to use his appeal."

Frank smiled at Kane and explained.

"Don't overuse our boxing champion! He has done enough. With him as the platform for this environmental tree planting event, his influence is far greater than before."

Kane shook hands with Frank, and he helped General Liu say a word.

"Young people need more exercise. I think John still has a lot of potential that has not been tapped."

"Just take it step by step! There's no need to be so anxious, right?"

The two of them completely regarded General Liu as a junior, and made future plans for him as if there was no one else around.

He felt a little unhappy, but General Liu's expression management was still quite good, and the standard smile on his face did not change at all.

He secretly sighed while flirting with Meredith in an extremely secretive manner.

No matter how bad you two foxes are, if I listen to a word of it, you will win.

As he interacts more and more with this group of shameless politicians in the United States, General Liu gradually understands some of the ways of power-money transactions in the beacon of capitalism.

These guys also play the trick of watching others do their bidding. The idea of ​​taking advantage of others and the method of applying extreme pressure have been engraved in the bones of these guys.

I crossed the class too quickly, rose too fast, had little background, and at the same time did not understand the twists and turns of the lighthouse country's power and money transactions.

The politicians he dealt with were all excellent people, and they were keenly aware of their youthfulness in this regard.

In line with the idea of ​​not taking advantage of the bastards, these politicians will of course take advantage of themselves in their transactions and seek greater benefits.

Fortunately, I woke up before it was too late, and nothing fell into the hands of these politicians.

In addition, I have adopted a strategy of diversifying investments and checking and balancing each other.

It has become increasingly difficult for Frank and Kane to continue to take advantage of themselves.

If he hadn't really been reluctant to part with the special experience of the two ladies, General Liu would have distanced himself from the two old gangsters Frank and Kane.

Now General Liu's idea is very simple. Fair transactions can be done. After all, it's better to be mature than raw. Who should I look for?

As for extra costs, extreme pressure, coercion and inducement, which are undesirable methods, it is best not to come at all, or at worst it will break up.

Anyway, he had no problem being caught by Frank and Kane. It would not be easy for the two of them to deal with the current General Liu.

General Liu's money has not been spent in vain these years. There are always some politicians who work well together to check and balance the two.

"John, at the beginning of next month, the Clean Water Project will hold a charity auction dinner in Washington, DC."

"When the time comes, come early and invite some friends from the Internet industry to attend this dinner together."

Frank and Kane seemed to sense that General Liu was a little distracted, and they stopped talking to themselves.

After the two looked at each other, Frank made an invitation to General Liu, but his tone was a little commanding.

"Mr. Underwood, I shouldn't have much time at the beginning of next month!"

"As you know, my first fight in the light heavyweight division is scheduled for the end of May."

"After finishing this environmental tree planting activity, I have to return to Los Angeles and devote all my energy to preparing for the competition!"

Liu Jiang found a very valid reason and declined Frank.

Charity auction dinner hosted by 'Clean Water Project'? It’s none of my business!
The last time Frank helped put pressure on Los Angeles County District Attorney General Lacey Harner.

Liu will have already accomplished this by donating money to support the Clean Water Project's expansion into Africa.

What's going on? Frank, you plan to eat two things with one fish, and catch me collecting wool by myself, right?
You old boy have a wonderful idea! But sorry, there is no door!

"John, don't forget who helped you scare Lacey Haner last time."

Frank's face suddenly turned ugly, and he said pitifully to General Liu.

"Mr. Underwood, I am very grateful to you for making a phone call for me last time, but I have already made a corresponding repayment!"

"You can't ask me to pay for the same thing over and over again!"

"Besides, you weren't the only one responsible for shocking Recy Hana, Mr. Kane, Vice Commander Geer, and Representative Pat Richa."

Liu Jiang looked calm and replied very calmly.

"John, you haven't done enough! Your reward is far less than what I have given."

Frank abandoned his face and told lies with his eyes open.

"Oh! Is that so? It seems that the two of us have some misunderstandings about fair transactions!"

"But it doesn't matter, I can find a lot of trading partners now."

"Mr. Underwood, are you sure my reward is not as good as your effort?"

General Liu had long been accustomed to Frank's shamelessness, and he remained unmoved. Instead, he threatened the other party by terminating cooperation.

Frank frowned and was about to increase his intensity and apply extreme pressure.

Claire on the side quietly tugged his arm and interrupted.

"John, thank you very much for your generosity! The Clean Water Project's charity auction dinner is also part of the African expansion plan."

She explained to General Liu that the implication was that getting rid of Recy Hana and supporting the expansion of the "Clean Water Plan" were two equal things.

Just donating money is not enough! The platform must be a platform, call friends, and exert influence. Everything is indispensable.

Claire gave General Liu a look, asking him to calm down and she would give him a reasonable explanation later.

Liu Jiang's eyebrows were furrowed, and he felt particularly unhappy. Claire, a bitch like this, was not reliable at all. She had made her promise last time, but now she suddenly changed her mind.

He didn't want to suffer the loss of being dumb, nor did he want Claire to be unable to step down.

After all, the other party was very generous when he met him last time and let Liu Jiang eat to his heart's content.

"Mrs. Underwood, this is different from what we discussed before. I need time to think about it carefully."

Liu will resort to procrastination. If Claire's explanation does not satisfy him, he will never attend this charity auction dinner.

Kane and Meredith were having a good time eating melon on the side, the expressions on their faces were a bit playful.

They didn't expect that the relationship between the Underwoods and General Liu was far from as strong as it seemed.

Just because a deal has not been reached, Liu Jiang, as the financial backer, actually considered terminating the cooperation with the Underwoods. This does not look like a happy cooperation at all!
Frank also noticed something was wrong with the expressions on the faces of the Kanes. He felt vaguely regretful that he should not have discussed the charity dinner invitation with General Liu in front of the couple.

He originally thought that even if the other party disagreed, he would not show too much resistance. I didn’t expect that! Ever since Liu put this kid on Deputy Commander Geer's lap, his wings have become stiffer, and his confidence in speaking has also become stronger. Opening or closing your mouth means terminating cooperation!

It’s really a headache!
"John, there are only a few days left before the charity auction dinner! After you think about it carefully, tell me as soon as possible. I have to make arrangements in advance."

A fake smile appeared on Frank's face. He pretended to pat the other party's shoulder and said in a pretentious manner.

"Okay, Mr. Underwood!"

General Liu answered perfunctorily and nodded reluctantly.

When Frank saw this, he didn't say much. After greeting Kane for a few words, he left with Claire.

"John, don't be fooled by that guy Frank! It's just a pressure call, not as important as you think."

"Either donate some money, or support the activities supported by the other party, choose one of the two and it will be enough!"

"There is no point in donating money and standing up! He is just taking advantage of you."

Seeing the Underwoods walking away, Kane approached General Liu and said meaningfully.

He seems to be complaining about the other party, but in fact he is doing things to sow discord.

General Liu knew what the old boy Kane was up to. Didn't the other party just want to win over his potential financial backer?

What the hell! The competition among American politicians is really fierce! Campaign sponsors dug in and out, not shying away from anything!
However, if you want to form a strong political and business relationship, the funder cannot float around.

Diversification works! But if the funding is stopped halfway without any reason, this will undoubtedly offend politicians to death!

Claire hasn't given him an explanation yet, and General Liu doesn't want to reveal his intention to part ways with Frank for the time being.

"Mr. Kane, the Underwoods helped me a lot when I was growing up!"

"I'm a nostalgic person. There are just some minor issues between me and them that I didn't communicate well."

"I believe that as long as both parties talk to each other, this small problem can be easily solved!"

Liu Jiang said sincerely, indicating his attitude to the other party.

"John, I really don't know what to say to you. I have reminded you of everything I should have reminded you. I hope you won't regret it in the future!"

"That's right! From now on, you can only tell me about small things like putting pressure on you!"

"I promise to help you do it beautifully, you just need to pay a certain amount in return."

When Kane heard what General Liu said, he shook his head with regret. Then, he changed the topic and started soliciting business.

"Okay, Mr. Kane, if I encounter any trouble in the future, I will tell you as soon as possible!"

General Liu nodded and agreed with the other party.

Next, the three of them started chatting. After a lot of nonsense, the Kanes said goodbye.

Liu Jiang looked at Meredith's charming and elegant back and felt itchy in his heart.

There were so many people just now, so he didn't dare to do anything too blatantly. After bumping into each other several times with extremely hidden eyes, the two of them pretended to be serious in unison.

After socializing with the celebrities present, General Liu managed to wait until the environmental protection tree planting activity was over.

Like last year, Kane invited all the celebrities present to the dinner.

Liu Jiang changed into the dress he had prepared in advance and arrived at the banquet on time.

Compared with the environmental tree planting activities during the day, there were significantly more guests attending the dinner.

After greeting some celebrities, Liu Jiang went to the buffet dining area alone and began to feast.

After spending the day talking to a group of people, he had consumed too much energy. If he didn't seize the time to make up for it now, he would wait until later.

"Keke! John, I really didn't expect! You are so handsome in appearance, but you can be so unrestrained in your eating and facial expressions!"

A burst of laughter sounded behind him, and the gentle and familiar voice reached Liu Jiang's ears.

Stopping his eager eating movements, Liu Jiang turned around and looked at the place where the sound came from.

Meredith was wearing a burgundy backless suspender evening dress and a pair of red high heels, and she looked over with an affectionate look.

Her blond hair, which was originally tied into a delicate bun, was let down and spread over her delicate, white shoulders.

A smooth and full forehead, curved willow eyebrows, and a pair of bright eyes like emeralds.

Long eyelashes, a straight and beautiful nose, and two thin lips as bright red as flames.

The white and slender swan neck, the charming collarbone, and the burgundy backless suspender evening dress wrap around her exquisite, translucent and amazingly undulating figure.

The skirt of the evening dress floated in the wind, and a pair of slender and beautiful legs were unwilling to be left alone, looming there.

Liu rolled his Adam's apple, his eyes went straight, and he swallowed secretly.

"Mrs. Kane, you also know that I am a boxer and have a large appetite. I am usually used to eating quickly."

Liu Jiang explained smoothly as his eyes kept wandering over Meredith's delicate body.

"Just call me Meredith, John. I'm a little curious. Did you get this good figure from food?"

Sensing the somewhat unscrupulous look in the other person's eyes, a faint blush appeared on Meredith's pretty face.

She gritted her teeth and bravely met Liu General's wanton gaze.

After the two looked at each other for a moment, Meredith raised the corner of her mouth. She moved lightly towards the other person and started looking for something to say.

"How is that possible! I do have a good foundation, but I can't build a good body just by eating! This requires scientific and long-lasting high-intensity training."

When General Liu saw this, he immediately understood that Mrs. Kane obviously couldn't stand it any longer. The other party wanted to take the initiative to launch an offensive against him!

How embarrassing is this! He had a charming and bright smile on his face, his eyes were sparkling, and he gave the other party an encouraging look while speaking softly.

"Your girlfriend must be very happy! By the way, why don't you take your girlfriend to participate in this environmental protection tree planting event? Is she not interested in environmental protection? Or does she not like this kind of occasion?"

Meredith's eyes kept glancing at General Liu's broad, strong chest and the thick arms that bulged out the sleeves of his dress.

With her mind wandering, she began to speak indiscriminately, even speaking out like a tiger or a wolf.

"I think she should be very happy! She just begs for mercy too many times! She is an actor and is currently participating in special training for a movie. She can't spare time for the time being."

When Liu Jiang heard the words of tiger and wolf from the other party, he raised his eyebrows and responded without any sign of weakness.
