Chapter 218 Aunts Wedding

"Inspector Claire..."

This female FBI detective has been promoted to become a detective in the FBI's New York office. She presides over the behavioral psychology laboratory and has become an authority on serial killers in the industry. However, she still wears an FBI vest and maintains her simple character.

.

"Ha, Ronald, we meet again. I watched your new movie Working Girl and I really liked it." The detective also recognized that women and men have the same opportunities for career development, so he said to Ronald

Germany's film was highly praised.

"Do you remember her?" Ronald let Diane out from behind.

"Oh, you must be Diane who was rescued by Ronald..." Detective Claire had a good memory and hugged Diane. She observed people very carefully and immediately knew what the relationship between the two was, so she pulled him

She talked for a long time.

"This is Mr. Jonathan Demme, the director of the new movie with an FBI agent as the heroine. We are here to visit this time, and we would like to ask you to serve as a consultant for the movie and provide some details of the FBI's work to make the movie more realistic.

." Ronald introduced Demi again, and quickly chatted about FBI training, promotions and other details, especially how women can stand out in this male-dominated work atmosphere.

"I think you're right..." After chatting with this real FBI elite, Demi agreed with Ronald's opinion that Jodie Foster's temperament is better than Michelle Pfeiffer's.

She is more like a daughter educated by a father who died in a disciplinary unit.

"Very good. Judy has already heard the news about Michelle Pfeiffer's withdrawal. She called me several times to recommend herself... It would be great if you can agree to her audition."

After Jodie Foster won the Oscar, her life changed a lot. First, she moved out of McGillis' home, ending the years when the two lived together. This assassination murderer

The little actress who had no filming years after graduating from college has an extremely determined heart.

She rejected four or five scripts that her agent found for her, and refused to take roles that would bring easy money. She had to decide by herself what roles to take. She originally liked the script of "Silence of the Lambs" and when she heard about the choice

There was a change in the role. That was because I used all my connections and public relations with Ronald to get this role.

"Have you finished talking to Detective Claire?" Ronald looked at Diane who was saying goodbye to the detective, and took her hand, "Jonathan, Diane and I have something else to do. We are going to Staten Island.

I asked Richard to book a commercial flight for you, so I won’t take you back this time.”

"What are you going to do? If you don't mind asking, I've always wanted to see the filming location of The Godfather. I know it's on Staten Island."

"My aunt is getting married..." Ronald didn't dislike Jonathan Demme wanting to attend. Although Demme had become famous, his life still remained the same as before. He sympathized with the poor and also

You must work hard on your own, and you must be able to talk to Aunt Karen.

"Of course you are welcome, come over anytime..." Demi's home is in Manhattan, and she will be happy to have more personal friends attend her aunt's wedding.



"Oh, Ronald, you are finally here. I was worried that you would be late and not be able to catch up with the speech of the former commander..." Aunt Karen was chatting with Donna at home. Her wedding would be a small private ceremony.

Wedding, for her in middle age, wedding is a ceremony. In fact, she values ​​​​more the speeches that the former commander-in-chief Ronald and his wife promised to come to Toteville.

"I won't miss it..." Ronald replied with a smile, "I'm very happy that you can marry Eric, he is a good uncle."

"I'm very happy to have your and Donna's blessings..." Aunt Karen showed Diane the diamond ring on her hand. It was given to her by her boyfriend when he proposed that day. Although it was not big, it made her feel very happy.

"Oh, it's so beautiful..." Diane exclaimed, and she and Donna talked around Aunt Karen.

The family got dressed up and took the van driven by Little Bud to the auditorium of the Hansen family in Toteville. The town's entrepreneurs, engineers, sales executives, and worker representatives all sat neatly to greet their predecessors.

The Grand Commander’s lecture tour after his retirement.

"This is a photo of Nancy and I visiting China after taking office. Hey, there are so many people there..." The energy of the former commander-in-chief has visibly declined, and the humorous eloquence of the past is gone. He just looks at Microsoft Powerpoint software.

I use the photos to remember, and sometimes I have to be reminded by Nancy around me.

"Thank you so much... We all really hope to see you speak on TV again, and today we finally got our wish." After the half-hour speech, the former commander-in-chief and his wife had to catch a flight. Aunt Karen

On behalf of the residents of Toteville Town, I quickly went up to thank them and gave them gifts. The photographers below were busy taking photos as souvenirs.

"Ronald, it's nice to meet you..." Mrs. Nancy shook Ronald's hand to express her gratitude. Such a speech can earn the couple one hundred thousand dollars. They don't have much savings, and they don't have much.

While the people have not completely forgotten their duties, they can save some money for their retirement.

"Yes, I will always remember that the students at T&T helped me speak up and I won the role of director of Top Gun." Ronald was still very grateful to the couple.

"I would like to thank you on behalf of old Ronald about the memorial library." Nancy was very grateful to this young director whose horoscope matched her husband very well, and always wanted to say a few more words to him. Ronald not only organized

This speech also donated a large sum of money to the Memorial Library.

Stanford University, which originally promised to build a library named for her husband on campus, canceled the construction plan last year due to protests from teachers and students. Party politics is profoundly affecting the university. Nowadays, university teachers and students are increasingly leaning towards the Donkey Party, and

They couldn't really argue with Stanford when they were so tired.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Fortunately, the beneficiaries of Ronald Elephant Party Economics quickly found a new location in Simi Valley, 40 miles away from Los Angeles, and started using donated money.

The construction of the new library was blocked, but as a result, the opening of the library that could have been completed after Ronald Sr. left office had to be postponed.

Moreover, the federal government did not allocate funds for the Imperial Memorial Library, and the previous construction costs were not obtained from Stanford’s Hoover Institution. The new library relied entirely on donations. Fortunately, among old Ronald’s old friends, there are also Hollywood tycoons

Lew Wasserman, he went out to solicit donations from many old friends and has raised $30 million.

But among the new generation in Hollywood, many people did not donate. Ronald also quietly made a donation in the name of Douglas Jr. Nancy understood that the new Hollywood did not treat their couple well, and saw that they were not welcome.

The couple are very friendly Hollywood newcomers and feel good.

During Ronald Sr.'s two terms, the economy developed rapidly. However, the intellectual community had a poor impression of him. He was still criticized by workers and white-collar workers who made money in Toteville, a new production base for the film and television industry.

Cheers and thanks.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you..." Old Ronald was surrounded by people, shaking hands with them one by one, and regained some feeling, "Nancy, Nancy..." Feeling tired, he turned around and called out

wife.

"Sorry, he tires easily now"

"I asked them to drive you..." The retired commander-in-chief still has the protection of the guards, but it has been reduced to a minimum. Ronald specially rented a long luxury car to make the retired commander-in-chief more comfortable.



"Karen Parker, do you accept... as your husband?"

"I would like to..."

"Now the groom can kiss the bride." The newly built Quaker church belongs to the very traditional Pennsylvania Quakers. Unlike the evangelical Quakers to which Richard, another former general, belongs, this new Quaker church

In fact, the Quakers in England do not have pastors. Every Sunday, members spontaneously come to the church to pray silently. Everyone does not speak and remains silent.

But the wedding seemed too monotonous without a priest presiding over it. Anyway, everyone was not that devout Quaker, so Donna specially invited a priest from Manhattan to preside over the wedding. This priest named Robert Castle was very

Be open and don't mind coming over to host Aunt Karen's wedding. In fact, on the east and west coasts, this kind of wedding ceremony has gradually become a commercial operation rather than a traditional religious ceremony.

Aunt Karen and her newlywed husband kissed passionately, and everyone lit up the fireworks. The couple happily thanked everyone, ran outside the church, got into their aunt's old SUV, and went on their honeymoon.

Empty cans clinked in the back of the SUV, with the words "Just Married" written on the back. Ronald and Donna couldn't help but hug. It was this car that my aunt drove as a waitress in a restaurant to support two young people.

.

"Oh, they are so happy. Have you seen the proposal video? It's so romantic." Diane shouted beside her, and Donna hugged her and went to the side to mutter something shared by her best friend.

Already.

Ronald and little Doug looked at each other, both of them thinking about their own thoughts.

Little Doug was thinking about when to propose to Donna. His grandfather found out about Donna using his own money to invest in funds. He looked at her highly and urged his grandson several times. Ronald, on the other hand, didn't know how to answer Diane's endless questions.

I had to pretend to be deaf and dumb and didn't understand the hint.

"Bobby, is that you?" Jonathan Demme looked at the pastor who was officiating the wedding. He looked more and more familiar and couldn't help shouting.

"Cousin Jonathan?" The pastor was also stunned for a moment and recognized his cousin Demi, who was very close to him back then.

Unexpectedly, the two of them were still related, but they lost contact when they grew up. Ronald felt funny and quickly arranged for the two of them to find a place to reminisce.

"Ronald, Donna told me that little Doug might propose to him..." Diane ran over again, leaned against Ronald and whispered in his ear.

"Ah...um...oh...", Ronald really didn't know what to say, and the divorce experiences of Spielberg, Lucas, Cameron and others came to mind again.

In the evening, my aunt and her newlywed husband returned home again. Their driving trip was just a formality. They had already booked tickets for a round-the-world trip, and their first stop was Japan.

"Aunt, what should I do?" Ronald went to Aunt Karen privately and told her his troubles. It's not that he doesn't love Diane and Helen. It's just that after people achieve great success, they will always be more suspicious.

Some don't, and you can't talk to others about this kind of thing. You can only talk to your aunt.

"Ronnie, I remember you were not like this before. When Antonia came to the island, you really wanted to marry her."

"Hey, maybe I have changed, I have become complicated and sophisticated."

"Don't be like this, Ronald, you are still the good boy. God will reveal to you when you should do some things. Originally, I didn't want to get married again, but that day he came to my house to bring me food, and I sat down with him.

I was knitting a sweater on the chair, and suddenly a strange feeling came to me, as if my ex-husband was back. He told me that you raised Donna and Ronald well, and he was very grateful for the memory and life he had with me.

Exit Donna, it's just that it's time to move on..."

"Really?", Ronald got a typical Aunt Karen answer.

"Yes, God will give you the inspiration to do the right thing at the right time. At that time, you just need to follow your heart..." The aunt touched Ronald's hair tenderly.

However, the revelation did not come yet. Ronald watched his aunt go to the airport the next day, and returned to Manhattan with Diane.

"I hope your newspaper will stand by me during the election..."

In an Italian restaurant in Manhattan, prosecutor Rudy, a candidate for mayor, met Ronald and Little Doug again.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Of course, the Staten Island Advance will support you." Little Doug replied.

"No, I'm talking about the New York Daily News. Don't tell me you're not their anonymous sponsor." Of course Rudy didn't care much about the Staten Island newspaper. No one read it in Manhattan.

"It seems that we don't have any secrets in front of you?" Ronald muttered.

‘Don’t worry, I have a busy election schedule right now and I don’t have time to beat around the bush.”

"Okay, but we are not the real owners of the newspaper and have no influence on the editorial team. The most I can do is pull the strings and let you talk to the editorial team...you know those reporters..."

"I know, the uncrowned king, freedom... shit..." Rudy cursed. The New York Times supported his opponent, the black candidate of the Donkey Party, Dinkins, for the sake of their advertising sponsors and readers.

The preference has nothing to do with freedom.

The New York Post, another newspaper with a large circulation, supported Rudy. His base is the NYPD and other disciplinary forces, firefighters, and correctional officers, who are all readers of the Post.

This year's mayoral election showed a different scene from previous years. Rudy, who participated in the Elephant Party primary election, unexpectedly did not embrace the right wing as per tradition, but chose the middle road.

In order to win over middle voters, Rudy abandoned the extreme ideas of conservatives and evangelicals, opposed any abortion, opposed affirmative action, opposed gay rights, opposed gun control, supported prayer in public schools, etc...

The election in New York is similar to the presidential election. Embracing the conservative far-right may allow you to easily win the nomination, but in the mayoral election, if you lose the support of the middle voters, you will definitely lose.

Ronald is unwilling to interfere too much with the editorial team of the Daily News, at least not now. He now wants to try his best to show that he respects the tradition of the newspaper and wants the Daily News to tide over the difficulties. He does not want to expose his secrets too early.

Ambition.

The circulation of the Daily News continues to suffer losses. Although the circulation is large, the more it circulates, the more it loses. It is estimated that by the time of the New York mayoral election, if there is no improvement in advertising, it will really declare bankruptcy.

, when the time comes, Ronald will be able to use this good reputation to dominate the daily news.

After arranging all matters and preparing to return to Los Angeles, Ronald received another call from Sony's Norio Ohga.

"Ronald, I'm in New York, can you have an interview? We found the person who secretly contacted the Colombian minority shareholders we gave up and wanted to step in to acquire their shares..."

"I asked little Doug to come with me. The Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra has a performance at Carnegie Hall." Ronald understood that this was Dahe who wanted to continue to contact little George. Their Sony and Japanese companies were in suspicion, so they should go through themselves.

Insurance from the connector.

"Who is bidding against you for Colombia?" Ronald asked.

"Australian guy, Christopher Scars, president of Qinte Group."
