Miss President wants to talk to you

The door was suddenly pushed open forcefully.

A tall woman dressed in an old-fashioned military uniform strode in.

She looked to be around thirty years old, with a high ponytail and an extremely sharp demeanor.

It was Zola Johnson.

"Hopkins!"

As soon as Zola entered, he shouted angrily, "Did you spread rumors to Louise, saying that my plan would definitely not succeed?"

The visitor is not good.

Waters, who was sitting, stood up immediately without hesitation and stood in front of Eleanor.

His muscles bulged all over his body, making him look very imposing.

Want to mess with Mr. Hopkins?

You'll have to get past me first!

At that moment, the secretary followed Zola into the office.

She looked terrified and kept apologizing to Eleanor.

“Mr. Hopkins, I couldn’t stop her…”

"Do not blame you."

Eleanor waved his hand, telling his secretary not to worry and to go back to work.

"Waters, you don't need to do this. Please go out first. Ms. Zola just has something to discuss with me."

"Can"

Waters hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

He was not unaware of Zola's reputation.

Back when Waters was just a private during World War II, the other man was already a brigadier general.

Moreover, he was promoted based on his military achievements.

Despite being such a difficult person, Eleanor wanted to face her alone.

Is everything really okay?

"Don't worry, Waters, you can go out now!"

Eleanor remained calm and unperturbed, showing no signs of pressure whatsoever.

He couldn't understand what there was to be afraid of.

Zola is a soldier, that's true, but would she dare to lay a hand on me?

Even if it comes to taking action, Eleanor is not afraid.

There's still a magic pistol that Edgar gave him lying in his drawer!

Chapter 105: Eleanor's 3.3 Billion

Waters hesitated for a moment, but obeyed and left the office.

The secretary quickly left and closed the door behind her.

Only two people remained in the office.

Zola stood in front of the table, her chest rising and falling slightly.

She stormed in, her anger showing no sign of abating.

"Hopkins!"

She slapped several sheets of paper on the table.

"You wrote these things, didn't you?"

Elinor looked at it and realized it was the suggestion he had asked Louise to pass on earlier.

But it's not the original handwritten document.

It was a reprinted version.

It seems that Ms. Louise had considered the potential conflict and did not mention her name in front of Zola.

Not showing Zola the original document directly was also to prevent her from recognizing the handwriting.

But clearly, these attempts did not work.

Zola still figured it out.

Eleanor didn't bother to deny it; he simply nodded and said, "I wrote it."

really!

"Hopkins!"

Zola sneered, "Are you trying to teach me how to do things?"

what?

Because the rhetorical question was so classic, Eleanor didn't react immediately.

"Wait, Ms. Zola!"

Eleanor raised her hand and asked, "I was just giving you some advice, there's no need to get so angry!"

"Just a suggestion?"

Zola seemed to see through everything. "Hopkins, don't think I don't know. You were kicked out of the industrial sector, and you're not happy about it, are you?"

"I was thinking of giving some advice beforehand so that we could share in the glory of our success later?"

"I'm telling you, dream on!"

"You're just a bricklayer, what gives you the right to point fingers and tell people what to do?"

"The industrial revitalization plan has absolutely nothing to do with you!"

Eleanor was both amused and exasperated.

He didn't understand why Zola would misinterpret his intentions in this way.

Do I really look like a cunning or deceitful person?

"Ms. Zola, have you read my suggestion?"

"I've seen it, it's completely worthless!"

Zola crumpled the paper in his hand into a ball and threw it directly in front of Eleanor.

"What investigative power? What supervisory power?"

"You've only been in the White House for a few months?"

"Is it your turn to tell me how industry should be managed?"

“You weren’t even born when I was working on the Wartime Industrial Committee!”

Zola didn't even bother to explain why he was so opposed to federal forces directly intervening in the industry.

Because she felt that Eleanor was not worthy of listening.

True regulation should come from society and the public.

As long as it can create a widespread social wave, no company will dare to go against the tide.

Only a despicable person like Eleanor would always be thinking about investigation and regulation.

Every industry has its own vitality and deserves respect.

If federal forces were to forcibly intervene, it would only turn the situation into a stagnant pool.

"In short, mind your own business from now on and don't get involved in industry again!"

Zola concluded by warning, “When the industrial revival is successful, everyone will know that it was I, Zola Johnson, who brought the federal industry back to its feet!”

"It has absolutely nothing to do with you, Eleanor Hopkins."

After saying that, Zola turned and left, not wanting to stay a moment longer.

……

That afternoon, Louise went to Eleanor's office again.

She already knew what had happened that morning.

"I'm sorry, Eleanor."

She sat down opposite Eleanor.

“I underestimated Zola a bit. I didn’t mention your name, but she still guessed it.”

"Perhaps it's because my style is more distinctive."

Eleanor thought for a moment and said, "Those suggestions sound like they were made by me, so it's not surprising that Ms. Zola guessed it."

"But she still went a bit too far."

Louise said, "No matter what, it's too impolite to just barge into your office."

"Eleanor, don't worry, I'll teach her a lesson later."

Upon hearing this, Eleanor shook his head.

"No, Ms. Louise."

He said, "Now that Ms. Zola has become the head of the industrial revitalization plan, you should be upholding her prestige."

"Otherwise, once the news leaks out, people will think that there is a rift between the White House and Ms. Zola."

"If that's the case, her subsequent work will be very difficult."
