Miss President wants to talk to you

Meimei is hiding, right? Meimei is hiding?

at this time

"Madam Minister!"

The secretary suddenly pushed open the door. "The House of Representatives has sent an official document."

Hattie looked up.

The secretary was holding an envelope with the Congressional logo on it.

Upon seeing that thing, she immediately had a bad feeling.

really!

Inside the envelope was a formal subpoena from the House Agriculture Committee.

The committee will hold a hearing on the Agricultural Adjustment and Rural Security Act in three days.

Agriculture Minister Hattie Wallace must attend.

The notice required her to bring:

[Complete revision record of the draft], [Statistical data of the Ministry of Agriculture on various types of farm operators], [Calculation basis of the guarantee fund standard], [Implementation plan of the Ministry of Agriculture on how to verify the identity of actual farmers]...

There's much more to come.

Hattie looked at each item one by one.

His complexion grew increasingly pale.

The other party left her no room to maneuver.

It is clear that her attendance at this hearing is no different from being on trial.

Furthermore, and most notably...

She was the only government official on the entire summons list.

All the artillery fire was aimed at her alone.

Hattie stared at the empty list and remained silent for a long time.

Finally, a decision was made.

No!

This time, we absolutely cannot let her shoulder the pressure alone!

That bastard won't get away with this!

Hattie promptly picked up the phone.

"Get me to the office of the President's Special Assistant."

……

After half an hour.

Eleanor returned to the Ministry of Agriculture.

As soon as I stepped into the minister's office, a document flew towards me.

Eleanor reached out and caught it.

"What?"

"look by youself!"

Hattie rested her hands on the table, her eyes showing dark circles from lack of rest over the past few days.

And an indescribable feeling of grievance.

"They only summoned me!"

"Oh, it really is!"

Eleanor glanced at the list, her tone surprised but her expression unsurprised.

"Aren't you surprised at all?"

Why be surprised?

Eleanor put the notice back on the table.

"At the last bank hearing, I displayed such formidable fighting spirit that any moderate member of Congress would know to avoid my attacks!"

Eleanor was extremely proud when he said those words.

"So, it's normal for them not to want me to show up."

"This is basic respect for the strong!"

It's more than just respect.

The members of Congress who attended the hearings back then now avoid Eleanor whenever they see her.

It's no different from seeing a plague god.

Hattie was very dissatisfied with this answer.

"Then what should I do?"

"I do not know."

Eleanor shrugged. "Don't look at me like that. I really don't know. After all, you were the one who gave them the wrong impression, making them think you were weak."

"They probably think that if you put enough pressure on you, you will revise the draft yourself."

It's not that we can't afford to mess with Eleanor.

Instead, the Rehati is more cost-effective.

Hattie was immediately displeased upon hearing this.

"What makes them think that way?"

"Because that's how the Minister of Agriculture is."

Eleanor thought for a moment and then said.

"I am the president's special assistant. All I have to do is stand on the hearing stand, spout nonsense, offend everyone, and then walk away."

"But you are the Minister of Agriculture."

"There are many things to consider."

Although that's a really rude thing to say.

But Hattie had to admit that it made sense.

Compared to Eleanor, she certainly has many weaknesses.

The Ministry of Agriculture cannot operate independently of local agricultural agencies, so the two sides cannot afford to have a falling out.

Those Southern lawmakers don't need to make her completely abandon the bill.

All you need to do is force her to give in.

This logic is flawless; even Hattie herself admits it.

But

Hattie was struck by how those Southern congressmen who were targeting her looked down on her.

She felt really angry!

"no!"

Hattie clenched her little fist and slammed it hard on the desk.

"hiss"

She immediately felt a sharp pain, withdrew her fist, and her previous imposing manner completely collapsed.

Eleanor walked up to her.

"How about it, you're furious, aren't you?"

"Didn't I show it?"

Hattie clutched her fist, grimacing.

He certainly looked very angry.

"Of course it was shown."

Eleanor said, "But anger alone is not enough. You need to have unwavering determination and flexible methods to make those congressmen who look down on you pay the price!"

Hattie barely hesitated.

"Then what should I do?"

She said, "I originally wanted to get along well with those members of parliament and talk things out, but I didn't expect them to target me like this!"

"Since that's the case, then I won't pretend anymore!"

I'm coming clean!

"I will fight them to the bitter end!"

At this moment, Hattie's dark circles were still visible.

The fatigue hadn't disappeared.

But the panic he felt when he received the summons was gone.

Eleanor looked at her and finally smiled.

Smith and his team did indeed make a very careful choice.

They avoided Hopkins.

Only the Minister of Agriculture was summoned.
