Miss President wants to talk to you

A restaurant.

Several people were gathered around the newspaper, discussing it endlessly.

"So, are these children actually Hopkins'?"

One worker didn't quite understand.

"of course not."

Someone nearby remarked, "The child's biological father is sitting in the courtroom."

"Then why did Hopkins admit it?"

"To help them receive relief."

"Then why didn't he admit it in the first place?"

"Because he wants to uphold the dignity of the Federation."

Some people watched the newspaper being distributed and expressed their feelings.

"I used to think that Mr. Hopkins was young, promising, and incredibly successful, but now it seems that he also has many unspeakable difficulties."

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

Yes!

Mr. Hopkins, this is really tough!

The atmosphere at the scene gradually became somewhat heavy.

Suddenly, a person with a unique way of thinking broke the silence.

"If, I mean if!"

"If I encounter difficulties with government officials in the future, can I also say that I am Hopkins' illegitimate son?"

The person next to him looked him up and down.

He was in his forties and had a full beard.

Vieille herself looks at least twenty years older.

"also!"

The entire restaurant burst into laughter.

Similar jokes quickly spread throughout the Federation.

From this day forward.

Anything involving government offices is subject to scrutiny, even if it's slightly unreasonable.

People outside will ask:

"What, do you only get things done if my child has the Hopkins surname?"

That statement is incredibly damaging.

The staff member had no way of answering the question.

of course.

Not everyone likes Eleanor.

Conservative newspapers quickly found a new angle.

Hopkins openly incites the public to deceive the government.

Do White House officials have the privilege to trample on procedures?

Breaking the law in the name of goodwill is still breaking the law.

However, these reports seem so insignificant in the face of the current political climate.

……

Washington.

The White House mailroom has encountered an unprecedented disaster for the first time.

Countless letters poured in from all over the Federation.

Some people thanked Eleanor.

Some people are vehemently criticizing Eleanor.

Someone asked how they could officially become his child.

Some people even actually sent their birth certificates.

A 67-year-old woman from the west wrote a heartfelt letter.

She said she had always felt that her real father was someone else.

Now, seeing the newspaper, I finally found the answer.

I hope Eleanor will fulfill his responsibilities as a father as soon as possible.

The staff member responsible for sorting the mail fell into a long silence.

Finally, he made a comment on the letter.

Forwarded to the Special Assistant's Office.

Let Mr. Hopkins handle this matter himself.

Who can blame him for having so many children?

……

When Eleanor saw those letters, she felt both amused and exasperated.

But I don't have time to deal with these things right now.

The progress of the agricultural bill has already encountered significant resistance.

The hearings have been dragged on and have yet to be reconvened, and it seems that the members of the Agriculture Committee have not yet figured out how to obstruct the bill.

That being the case.

If you don't make a move, I will!

On Eleanor's desk lay a report.

An investigation into the Ellison Smith family situation.

Smith's family is small.

His wife passed away ten years ago.

Both daughters are married and live in Georgia and Virginia, respectively.

Her husbands are a banker and a lawyer.

They have little connection with politics and rarely appear in public except to attend charity banquets.

There's nothing noteworthy about it.

What truly piqued Eleanor's interest was Smith's only son.

Preston Smith.

Forty years old, married, with two daughters.

He graduated from an agricultural college in southern China.

He joined the Army Quartermaster Department during World War II, and after the war, he returned to his hometown and began to take over the Smith family’s land and property.

The resume is very clean.

According to those who have had contact with Smith, his conduct is simply a model for federal youth.

He is kind and honest, and has no bad habits.

I go to church every week and donate money to the county hospital every year.

The report also included several newspaper clippings.

"Labor, Not Charity: Mr. Smith on Rural Relief"

Preston in the photo is tall.

He wore a standard Southern gentleman's smile.

He was standing among a group of farm workers, personally handing out bread to a child.

No matter which angle you look at it from.

These are all outstanding entrepreneurs who care about rural areas, are passionate about charity, and are working hard to solve the unemployment problem.

"I never expected that Smith would be so good at educating children."

Eleanor marveled.

"That's true."

Edgar stood opposite Eleanor, a mysterious smile on his face.

"If you only look at these reports..."

Eleanor put the report aside.

"Since you say so, you obviously have some information."

He said, "Stop keeping me in suspense and bring out the main course!"

"It's not really a proper dish."

Edgar smiled and placed another document in front of Eleanor.

Compared to the glamorous family survey we just saw...
