Chapter 7 House of Cards

"Miss Amidala is very serious, she learns very quickly, and..." Speaking of this, Kevin Spacey, or Frank Underwood smiled, "has her own bottom line. ︾︾,"

After pausing, he immediately shrugged again: "Of course, I have never taught an alien student, and I am not a good teacher, so I cannot accurately determine what level Miss Amidala has learned."

Having said that, just think about the pause before and the smile he hung on his face, it is just that he is modest and habitually putting a mask on himself.

"Don't worry, I brought Padme here to let her feel the political atmosphere close to the real as much as possible," Zhang Haoxuan shrugged, "After all, as I said, in all movies and TV, you, as the president, approaches the real timeline, are relatively closer to reality. Others are either brainless or idealistic. You are not a politician, but at least a politician."

"Yes, you said it," Underwood nodded, "Then, I should be proud of being the few in American movies and TV...what do you say? Oh, the few presidents with IQs online?"

"It's just in movies and TV," Zhang Haoxuan poured cold water. "Although "House of Cards" mentioned the relationship between Wall Street and the White House and Capitol Hill, it is far from enough. The actual situation is worse than this. Any bill that touches the interests of a large consortium is difficult to pass in the Senate, so everything Padme has experienced here can only be used as a reference."

As he said that, he turned to look at the middle-aged woman with blonde hair and beautiful facial features sitting with Amirada: "What do you think, Madam Secretary of State?"

The middle-aged woman was stunned. She sighed after a few seconds: "It's completely different from my world. Here... is too naked. Too many conspiracies and calculations, too many bayonets are red..."

She said several parallel sentences in a row before stopping, then smiled bitterly and rubbed her forehead: "I'm not ready yet."

"Don't worry, Ms. Elizabeth Faulkner McCord, that's the difference in our screenwriters' focus." Underwood said, "You and I have seen each other's works. "Ms. Secretary of State" obviously wants to balance life and politics, so everyone is... elegant. But I'm different here, we're all climbing up for power. Everyone is like this, so your discomfort is understandable."

I have to say that Frank Underwood is really a heroic character. Among all the movies and TV series worlds that Zhang Haoxuan has been to, he is one of the few who can accept the fact that he is just a character in a short time.

"Yes, Elizabeth, I brought you here just for your reference. The world of "House of Cards" may not be completely right, and the world of "Lady Secretary of State" may not be completely wrong. You just need to do the job I give you." Zhang Haoxuan said immediately.

"Yes, sir." Elizabeth nodded, and although there was still some sorrow between her eyebrows, she didn't say anything more.

Then, Underwood was about to speak when a knock on the door rang: "Mr. President?"

"Is there anything wrong?" Underwood immediately replied, and Zhang Haoxuan opened the invisible barrier as soon as possible. He included Amidala and Elizabeth.

"Yes, sir. There is a document here that you need to see." The person outside replied.

"I'll come." Underwood said as he nodded to the place where Zhang Haoxuan was originally sitting. Then he opened the door and went out.

"I remember when I came back last time, you had done two experiments here. Once he knew about it, and once he didn't know about it. What was the result?" Zhang Haoxuan asked at this time.

"Well...why? Let's say this. When this study is over, I will make a form for you to compare and see, which is more intuitive." Amidala said after thinking about it.

Zhang Haoxuan nodded and waited for her next sentence.

"In any case, this is not reality, so their reactions can only be used as reference, not as standard." Amidala continued.

"Padmé, even in reality, their reaction to the same thing will not be exactly the same." Zhang Haoxuan advised, "One person is smart, but it is hard to say for a group of people."

"I know, so we're all doing as sound as possible, aren't we?" Amidala spread her hands.

"So..." Zhang Haoxuan raised his eyebrows.

"I want to go to Ms. McCorder's world and do the same experiment." Amidala looked at Ms. Secretary of State.

"You want to go to my world?" McCord asked in surprise.

"Yes, not only your world, but other political movies and TV are going to go," Amidala nodded, "It will take another month for Zhang to take them out to see it, and we have enough time to do this."

"But...but..." McCord wanted to say something.

"It's okay, Elizabeth, it won't matter. Even the black comedy like "The Edge of Political Affairs", the Secretary of State is still reliable." Amidala said comfortingly, then looked at Zhang Haoxuan.

"I have no objection, it's up to you to judge everything. After all, I will never show up openly by then." Zhang Haoxuan raised his hands.

Then he looked at McCord again: "That's it, Madam Secretary of State."

"Yes, sir." McCord had no choice but to agree.

The door opened again at this time, and Underwood walked in and made a safe gesture.

"I have something to do tonight, and I will continue to work hard. I may not be able to give guidance to Miss Amidala and Ms. McCourd." After Zhang Haoxuan and the others showed up, the other party said.

"No problem, I just come in and take a look," Zhang Haoxuan waved his hand, "Then let's go to your wife's place first, is she still outside?"

"Yes." When it comes to this, Underwood's face that seems to be smiling forever became a little gloomy.

"Even if she has watched three seasons of "House of Cards", is still the case?" Zhang Haoxuan raised his eyebrows.

"You have also watched three seasons of "House of Cards", so naturally I know what kind of person she is, and what kind of relationship I have with her." Underwood said slowly.

Zhang Haoxuan shrugged and called Amidala and McCourd to leave, then he came to Underwood's ear again: "To be honest, if she was younger, maybe I would consider taking her away."

"You won't," Underwood smiled, "first, if the first lady is missing, the world will become very troublesome; second, Robin White and Tia Leonie are the same year, so you just have no interest in her."

Zhang Haoxuan couldn't help laughing and then gave him a thumbs up.

"If you want to take Zoe or Christina away, remember to remind me first." He then said.

"No," Zhang Haoxuan patted his shoulder, "I need you as president, not anything else. There are countless people in the outside world, younger, more beautiful and more obedient, so there is no need to worry."

The old fox is the old fox. If Zhang Haoxuan had no such thoughts in his mind, it was impossible at that time. Tia Leonie was indeed more beautiful than Robin White, but this was definitely not the main reason why he gave up taking Claire Underwood out.

It is said that the heroine Elizabeth McCord in "Lady Secretary of State" is Hillary Clinton, but in fact, Claire Underwood in "House of Cards" is the closest character to that image.

Tough, decisive, full of desire for power, marriage with your husband is more like a deal, and these can be matched one by one in Hillary Clinton.

You should know that men or women who are full of career will not find equally powerful characters when looking for partners. Even if they can support each other for a period of time, once there are differences in ideas, the final result will basically be a parting.

They are all powerful characters, all with full personality, no one is willing to compromise, no one is willing to retreat, unless they have bigger goals, such as Hillary's desire for the presidential throne, if this is not the case, I am afraid that Clinton will kick him out with a low profile once he leaves office.

Okay, the topic is too far-reaching. According to Zhang Haoxuan's plan, if there is a person who has both means and decisive and knows American politics to help, everything will go smoothly.

But in this case, I am afraid that Amidala can't control her again. After all, he cannot be by Amidala's side at any time and order Claire to do anything and not do anything.

If you have complete mental control, it will make it seem too rigid and difficult to adapt to, so it is better to change to McCord. As a political drama, "Ms. Secretary of State", it is indeed a bit... too elegant, and all characters hold it. Even if they disagree, they will stop when they oppose it.

But that's good. At least at a shallow level, McCord will be very obedient. Anyway, Zhang Haoxuan is just to add a deputy to Amidala.

In addition, Underwood, who is currently the president of the United States, continues to guide Amidala's political aspects. Although Underwood was not very satisfied with Claire's performance after watching the third season, and Claire was also not satisfied with Underwood after watching it, they were husband and wife after all, and they were complementary couples.

Underwood couldn't let her leave her, nor would she be happy to be pried out by someone. After a few comparisons, Claire was eliminated.

Zhang Haoxuan spoke to him so before, just to tell him that he would not take his wife away, although her wife had several hints.

It's normal. After knowing that they are just a role in a TV series, they also see the story that will happen under the arrangement of the screenwriter. And because of that damn political correctness, their ending will definitely not be good, and they will all feel angry and unwilling.

Of course, as politicians who do not show their emotions, they will not show them clearly and test them for themselves. Just like Underwood, even if he has agreed to use the method of guiding Amidala to exchange for the possibility of the world's continuation, he is still thinking about it.

He mentioned Zoe and Christina, on the one hand, to remind Zhang Haoxuan that he had to become president without any hidden dangers, and on the other hand, he was also to test how likely it would be to destroy bridges across the river.

Of course, for Zhang Haoxuan, this is to judge a gentleman by his villain's heart. (To be continued...)
