Miss President wants to talk to you

"If the plan fails, it will be a loss for the Federation, won't it?"

Louise was truly surprised that Eleanor would actually speak up for Zola.

She couldn't help but say, "It seems I underestimated you before. I thought that with your sharp and outspoken personality, you would definitely not be willing to let Zola provoke you like this."

what?

Showing off one's talents?

Eleanor never expected that Louise would see her in this way.

No, that's not it.

He's very approachable, okay?

“Ms. Louise, you’ve misunderstood me.”

Eleanor said, "I don't deny that there may be a strong side to my personality."

"But that strength is used to deal with enemies and opposition."

"The world has misjudged me."

"They misjudged me, Eleanor, yesterday, and they misjudged me again today, and perhaps they will misjudge me again tomorrow, but I am still me."

"No matter what, Ms. Zola is working with me for President Rosef."

"The so-called mutual forbearance is for the sake of the country."

"Why would I nitpick over such a trivial matter with her?"

Upon hearing these words, Louise's admiration became even more evident.

Eleanor's understanding and sensible behavior put her last bit of concern at ease.

It seems the time has come.

Now we can tell Eleanor that the decision has been made.

Thinking about this...

Louise's expression suddenly became extremely serious and formal.

“Eleanor, since you put it that way…”

She said, "The federal government has a difficult task for you, and I don't know if you can handle it."

This attitude made Eleanor sit up straight instinctively.

"I will do my duty whenever the Federation needs me!"

He asked almost without hesitation, "Ms. Louise, what exactly is the mission?"

Louise did not answer immediately.

She took out a document from the folder she had brought with her and placed it in front of Eleanor.

“Take a look,” she said.

Eleanor picked up the documents.

A striking title line on the cover immediately catches the eye.

Public Works and Construction Projects

Oh?

It seems the bill has passed.

Eleanor wasn't too surprised; he already knew about the project.

Public works were one of the new policies that Ms. Rosef had determined long before her assassination.

A few days ago, the bill, personally drafted by Louise, was submitted and passed by Congress.

The bill stipulates:

The federal government will establish a Public Works Bureau and allocate $3.3 billion to the agency for the construction of federal public projects.

Yes, that's right!

Three billion yuan!

This is the largest grant approved since Rosemary took office!

What does 3.3 billion yuan mean?

Highways, dams, schools, hospitals...

Those projects that originally only existed in the concept will all become reality.

Large numbers of unemployed people will regain their jobs because of these projects.

Numerous industrial orders will also be generated as a result.

Local land prices can also change instantly.

The entire country's production capacity will be revitalized by these 3.3 billion yuan.

Its impact can extend to the next generation.

That's the terrible thing about public works.

A highway passes through a county, and a dam is built on a river, affecting the livelihoods of countless people.

Even a declining city can be revitalized by new railways, highways, or docks.

After the bill was passed, state governments began their activities.

They're inquiring openly and secretly about who's in charge of this project.

It can be said.

Whoever is in charge of this organization will have control over the 3.3 billion.

A single stroke of his pen could determine the fate of a city for decades to come.

Eleanor finally understood why Louise was so serious.

"Ms. Louise."

He hesitated before asking, "Which part of the Public Works Department specifically do you want to assign me?"

Louise looked at him.

“All of them,” she said.

An eerie silence fell over the office.

"what?"

Eleanor doubted that she had heard correctly.

"All."

Louise repeated herself, emphasizing.

"I want to hand over all of this 3.3 billion yuan to you, so that you can manage it."

"Consider this compensation for what I promised you before!"

Eleanor suddenly froze on the spot.

he……

What did you hear?

Ms. Louise is going to hand over all 3.3 billion to me?!

Did you make a mistake!

Eleanor no longer knew how to respond.

He knew very well that even compensation couldn't go this far.

Louise was almost ready to hand over the largest undertaking of the new government to him.

That's 3.3 billion!

In 1932, the annual revenue of the Norton Federation was only 40 billion.

This decision was incredibly bold.

Eleanor is twenty-three years old.

He only spent a few months in the White House.

Anyone qualified to compete for this position has a resume dozens of times longer than his.

The entire federal government will be shaken if the White House announces that Eleanor will be in charge.

Those party bigwigs will certainly not remain silent.

Congress will also question why Rosemary would entrust such significant power to such a young person.

"...Ms. Louise."

Suddenly, Eleanor spoke up.

"Things are probably not that simple. Even you couldn't make this decision on your own."

Prior to this, Eleanor's position was merely a special assistant to the president.

They can participate in various federal affairs and provide guidance.

Occasionally, they help advance legislation, or rush to the scene to put out fires in case of emergencies.

However, he never held power independently and became the sole person in charge of any department or institution.

There is a world of difference between these two identities.

"It seems you haven't lost your head yet."

Louise smiled and said, "That's true. Of course, I can't decide everything based on just one sentence."

"But what if we add this?"
