Chapter 607: Something happened. Please vote for me at the end of the month!!!
The banquet will be held in three days. Kai will stay at Duke's house for these three days. The hotel is almost boring, but it is not as good as a friend's house.
Emily has been extremely excited since she learned that Kay was going to attend the White House state banquet and asked her to be his female companion. She spent the whole day holding the basic history books about the White House while looking for people to learn about things in the White House while preparing for herself that day.
Worrying about what to wear.
Of course, this was another form of showing off. In less than a day, all of Emily's friends and classmates knew that Emily was going to attend the White House state banquet. Children, they don't have a clear understanding of this kind of thing.
, I only knew that she was very powerful. So Emily became very popular all of a sudden. The little girl even brought many of her friends to her home, wanting to see what the uncle who took her to the White House state banquet looked like.
.
Duke was very helpless about this, fearing that these children would disturb Kay. He also severely criticized Emily.
But Kai spoke for Emily.
Children should be like this. If they are too well-behaved and obedient, they will make people feel distressed. It would be better if Emily was a little more childish.
Next came the issue of the dress. Emily insisted that she must wear a beautiful little dress to attend the state banquet. However, the sensible Emily knew that her father’s birth certificate was in a bad state. So the little girl decided to
Make yourself an evening dress.
The material is the curtains of my own home...
Duke didn't know anything about it at first. When he came back from shopping, he found that the curtains in his house had been taken down.
In the living room, Kai and Emily, one big and one small, used scissors to cut the curtains into a mess.
Duke couldn't laugh or cry about this. He had never seen his commander like a child so much before. Should he be proud of this?
Facts have proved that Emily obviously did not reach the level where she could use curtains to make an evening dress. After three curtains, she only made a small blue dress for Emily's bear, and the workmanship was quite poor.
However, Kai praised Emily's talent.
Kai didn't mean to deceive, but he really felt that way.
He is not a fan of happy education and wants to encourage and support everything. On the contrary, he has always felt that it is stupid. Many people like to say how good China’s education is and that they should learn from Britain and the United States. Indeed, Chinese education definitely has its own
question, but is Western education really as good as they say?
Not necessarily, China's education may have some problems. But it has one advantage that other Western countries can never match, and that is fairness!
It is open to all classes in China! And it treats everyone equally, only looking at scores and not people.
What about the West?
The most obvious examples are Japan and the United States (although Japan is not a Western country, their educational ideas are completely Western-style).
In Japan, schools are loosely managed, with a large number of interest clubs and very short class times. The courses taught in high schools are not helpful in getting into college. If you want to get into college well, you must have extracurricular tutoring. Therefore, there are not only many tutoring classes in Japan, but also
It’s very profitable. What if you don’t go to cram schools? It’s very, very difficult to get into college! Because the high school courses don’t teach so much content that’s needed to get into college…
Are Japanese students happy? It’s so cool! Is it useless? This results in the social discourse power always being in the hands of a few elites.
Japan is a capitalist society, and what their elites want is class consolidation. The elites will always be elites, and the common people will always be common people.
Although there are differences between the United States and Japan, the results are the same. Children from the middle and lower classes do not have good teachers in public schools, and happy education prevails, and they cannot learn much at all. Children from the middle and upper classes go to private schools and enjoy the best
Educational resources and the most rigorous elite education.
Children educated in the two ways are of course completely different.
The most obvious example is the segregation of classes in the United States. Those in the elite think completely differently from those in the middle and lower classes.
So Kai really thinks that Emily does have talent. Anyway, when he was so old, his hands-on ability was definitely not that strong. Being strong in hands-on skills is definitely an excellent talent, unlike today's children who don't even have a light bulb.
If you know how to change, you still need your lover to change.
In order to reward Emily, Kay decided to sponsor Emily so that she could buy an evening dress of her choice. The maximum amount of this sponsorship was three hundred dollars!
Don't think that Kai is stingy. In fact, no matter how expensive an evening dress is, it is a trivial matter to Kai. It's just that he doesn't want Emily to develop a bad concept of consumption. In fact, Duke thinks that three hundred dollars is a bit too much.
In order to get Duke to agree that she could accept Kay's sponsorship, Emily agreed to a series of jumps. For example, she had to get straight A's in her next exam, otherwise the three hundred dollars would be deducted from her pocket money.
buckle!
Emily agreed to the conditions, so she happily took Duke to buy a dress for herself. She originally wanted to take Kai with her, but Kai firmly refused.
It's okay for Kai to accompany his sister-in-law Liang to go shopping.
But if he went with Duke and the children, he wouldn't want to.
After all, it is not uncommon for homosexuals to adopt children and form families these days. Kai didn't want to be looked at strangely, as that would test his nerves too much.
Just when Kai was lying on the sofa alone watching TV.
Suddenly a piece of news broke.
State banquets have changed dramatically.
At this state banquet, the president will host two heads of state for the first time.
One is naturally the previous Prime Minister of India, and the other, quite unexpectedly, is the President of South Korea.
South Korea's status has always been critical, but because of the existence of Japan, South Korea's status is not as important as imagined. And there is also the existence of North Korea, so the United States cannot say that it attaches too much importance to South Korea, but it is definitely not as important as Japan.
Therefore, the sudden banquet with the South Korean president at this juncture really exceeded the expectations of many political observers.
So a bunch of people are analyzing why the government is doing this at this time.
Kai didn't care much about this, so he changed the channel casually.
He also did not expect that the South Korean president would lead to a series of subsequent events.
…
The day before the state banquet, Kai couldn't bear Emily's pleading, so he decided to take Emily to the White House first and decided to familiarize himself with the venue. Although Kai didn't understand what was so familiar about this kind of thing.
Kai guessed that this was Emily giving encouragement to her father.
Because today is Duke interview time.
Early in the morning, they drove to the White House.
That's right, the interview took place at the White House.
The White House is not just the president's office and residence. The White House is very large, and there are many ancillary buildings next to it, including the offices of the Secret Service.
After Duke drove his daughter and eldest son to the White House, he went to the Secret Service alone. Kay had already spoken to Margaret on the phone a few days ago, and she gave a positive reply.
So overall, they are very confident about this interview.
Unexpectedly, half an hour later, Duke came back with a normal expression. Emily did not ask Duke what the result was, but clamored to go to the toilet.
So the two grown men could only take Emily to find the toilet.
Wait until Emily leaves.
"They refused..." Duke said frustratedly.
Kai was puzzled by this and a little angry. He obviously said it well yesterday, why did he do this today?
Kay was ready to call Margaret and find out.
But Duke stopped him.
"It seems to be my own problem..." Duke said with a bit of embarrassment.
"What do you mean? What did you say that you shouldn't have said?" Kai said, glaring at him.
"Tsk...how do I put it..." Duke became even more embarrassed: "The person who interviewed me was an agent in charge...she is Carol Fennity."
"Who is that?" Kai was not familiar with the Secret Service. He only knew that the Secret Service had an agent in charge named Banning. He was a very stinky guy.
"My high school girlfriend..."
Kai didn't understand. This shouldn't be too bad, right? It's easy to do things with acquaintances.
Duke continued with difficulty: "I am her first love..."
"So?" Thinking about Duke's past virtues, Kai felt bad.
"When we broke up, it was a bit ugly...she caught me and the cheerleader..." Duke made a very subtle expression as he said: "Well, especially that girl is her best friend..."
Kai whistled.
He really had nothing to say.
Can he blame Duke? This happened so many years ago.
You can't blame others. If you were that Carol Fennity, what would you do?
Seeing that Kai was not angry, Duke also relaxed. After all, things were already like this, what else could be done?
"She said my education was too low, so she rejected me."
"Tsk...you are so lucky...you have no one else." The Secret Service is not an Army soldier. As long as you are healthy, you can join it. Anyway, most of the Army soldiers are cannon fodder and worthless. Others' Secret Service protects the president's dignitaries.
, a scumbag is not qualified to protect them.
What others said was reasonable, even if Margaret came.
Although there is no saying in the United States that a harem cannot interfere with politics, generally speaking, presidential wives and mascots are similar. It is estimated that no president would do anything to a Secret Service agent because of his wife's pillow style.
The president can't do whatever he wants.
So when the other party is justified, Kai can't do anything...
"Then what to do now?"
Kai was a little worried about Emily. As for Duke...he was a grown man who wouldn't starve to death anyway, so why worry about his hair?
"Why don't you come to Los Angeles with me? Being a police officer is a bit tiring and the salary isn't as high as that of a special agent, but it's not bad." Kai asked.
"This is the only way...it's Emily's side...she needs to move and change schools. I don't know if she will be sad." Duke is actually quite responsible, but he is a bit careless.
"It's okay, Emily is a good child, she can adapt." It seems that this is all she can do now. Kai can only comfort her.
While the two people were discussing, on the other side, the South Korean president had arrived in front of the White House.
Benjamin took Margaret to greet him at the gate of the White House according to etiquette.
This time, the arrival of the South Korean president seemed very sudden, and the White House did not even have time to make adequate preparations, especially since today is still a visit day.
Originally, today's visit day should be canceled according to reason, but no one expected that the South Korean president notified the United States out of nowhere, saying that no special arrangements were needed, and even the visit day was not cancelled...
Probably because he wanted to appear friendly to the people.
The presidential cabinet and staff are very controversial about this. Some people do not agree with this arrangement. After all, security issues are very important. Mainly for cabinet members.
The staff team needs to consider not only the president's personal safety, they also need to help the president win over voters.
Yes, the people who serve the staff are mainly the president, and they care more about the president's approval rating so that the president can be re-elected smoothly. Even if the president's term has only just begun.
In the end, the resolution was passed with the assurance of Special Agent in Charge of Presidential Security Walker of the Secret Service, and the visit day would not be cancelled.
It's just that when the South Korean president arrives, there are some protective measures.
It was difficult for the two grown men to block the door of the women's restroom, so they waited outside the corridor outside the restroom.
From a distance, they could also see President Benjamin entering the White House living room from the gate with an Asian man with a pig kidney face.
There were also many people wearing black suits and sunglasses standing in the crowd.
"It seems that the President of South Korea is visiting today." Duke stepped on his feet and took a look.
"It seems so." Kai didn't care. He had never heard of the president of South Korea.
The South Korean president was not as nervous as the security personnel on both sides. Instead, he kept waving to the people around him.
"What is this idiot doing? Is he being targeted?" Kai asked in disbelief as he watched the South Korean president choke.
Public figures like them should actually be careful when they are exposed to the public like now. It is best not to stop and give the hotshot time to shoot.
"You don't know?" Duke asked in surprise.
"what do you know?"
"This guy is facing corruption charges in his own country, and now he comes to the United States, probably because he wants to use the power of the U.S. government to suppress domestic opposition. Now of course he has to appear close to the people so that Americans will have a favorable impression of him." Duke
The analysis is straightforward.
"You did do your homework well." Kai was still not very interested in this.
After waiting for almost ten minutes, the stupid South Korean president finally left with the White House staff satisfied.
Emily also came out.
I want to visit the White House.
Kay and Duke naturally have every opinion.
But a few minutes later, when the three of them were following a tour group and listening to the tour guide's nonsense, they suddenly saw a group of Secret Service agents rushing into the White House from all directions and running in the direction of the president.
Kai and Duke looked at each other and immediately felt something was wrong.
"Something happened!" Kai grabbed Emily and pushed her into Duke's arms. Then he ran to the window.
Above the sky, a large AC130 military aircraft is launching interference bombs!
