Maria changed the subject, a sly look flashed in her eyes, and said with a smile: "Mr. President, since you are so rich, please support our family a little. Besides, you and that old guy Scott are still friends, so even more We can’t just watch our family starve because we can’t open the pot.”
Speaking of this, a sad look flashed in her eyes.
Even though Scott has been the commander of the United States Federation for a long time and has been in the army for half a century, he has not given much help to his family. Maria has always supported the family. After Scott retired, the situation at home did not improve. The family is still poor. In fact, this phenomenon is not surprising. In history, six presidents of the United States died of poverty and did not pay off their debts until their death.
The president of the United States is still like this. Scott, a veteran who worked hard, never thought about himself, and devoted himself to the country after leaving office, his family's assets, let alone his family's assets, were extremely poor.
Li Zhen spread his hands and said helplessly: "Madam, I do have money, but I don't have much money in the United States Commonwealth, because after I came to the United States Commonwealth, everything was arranged by Mr. President's people, so I really don't have any dollars. .”
Maria smiled slightly and said, "You can find someone. With your relationship, it must be easy to solve the problem."
The corner of Li Zhen's mouth twitched. Scott's wife was really a person who would never give up until she reached her goal. Looking at Maria's expectant eyes, Li Zhen could only nod and said: "I will try my best."
Maria said: "President Lee agreed, so there must be no problem."
The look she looked at Li Zhen was even more cordial.
The look on his face was as if he had been a friend for many years, or even that Li Zhen was his biological son.
Li Zhen was not an economical person. After giving the money, he immediately said: "Madam, I am here to visit Mr. Scott this time. I also want to ask for something from Mr. Scott. Unfortunately, Mr. Scott..." These words When he came out, Scott immediately stood up from the kitchen, shook his head repeatedly, and stared at Li Zhen fiercely.
That look seemed to say, Li Zhen, you are too cruel, you actually brought the matter to Maria.
Scott was really afraid that Li Zhen would tell the story, so he hurriedly walked out and said with a smile: "President Li, we will discuss our matters another day. You can go back first."
He drove them away without politeness, not wanting Li Zhen to stay.
Scott knew his wife very well. Maria was a woman who worked hard for the family's livelihood and was somewhat powerful. However, Maria was definitely a very good person. Li Zhen came with a purpose and was not a good thing.
Li Zhen smiled slightly and remained as still as a mountain.
Maria became angry and shouted: "Scott, go back and prepare lunch for me."
"Go away."
When Maria acted up, Scott was helpless and had no choice but to retreat unconditionally.
At home, Maria is the boss.
Maria snorted and murmured: "You dare to be arrogant in front of me, it's outrageous."
Li Zhenxin said, you are so powerful, only Scott can bear it.
Maria glared at Scott and said: "President Li is such an old-fashioned and warm-hearted person, and you actually want to drive him away. Are there any people like this? There is no etiquette at all. Normally, when your friends come to the house, they only want to eat and drink. Regardless of the situation at home, I don't like to see them, but you insist on keeping them here, and you can't even push them away. Now, here comes someone who is willing to solve the family's problems and is willing to help us, but you have to push them out. How courageous are you? You must be fat."
Scott returned to the kitchen door, affectionate and resentful, still staring at Li Zhen fiercely.
Unfortunately, Li Zhen ignored Scott.
After listening to Maria's words, Li Zhen already understood that Maria had the final say in Scott's family. If he could convince Maria, this matter would probably be resolved.
Maria put on a smile again and said: "President Li, please tell me."
Li Zhen nodded and said seriously: "The thing is like this. I learned that Mr. Scott has retired from the army and no longer serves, so I want to ask Mr. Scott to come out to work. China is building a military academy. Mr. Scott is talented. Outstanding, rich in experience, and outstanding wisdom, so I want to ask Mr. Scott to be a teacher. Of course, I prefer that my wife can go with Mr. Scott. Unfortunately, Mr. Scott wants to stay in the United States and wait for the end of the Civil War. I have no plans to travel to China for the time being.”
Maria frowned and fell into thought.
She also needs to think carefully about this.
Although Maria loves money, that is because her family needs livelihood and money to live. Really involving relocation of the family is not a small matter, and Maria will not make the decision easily.
She loves money, but she is not someone who is obsessed with money.
Li Zhen decided to add fuel to the fire and said: "Mr. Scott and Mrs. Scott are willing to go to China with me. After arriving in China, I will prepare a separate residence for you, prepare a maid, and give Mr. Scott The monthly salary is a high amount. If Madam wants to work, I am willing to arrange things for Madam so that you can teach Chinese students to learn English and also receive salary."
"Really, can I do it too?" Maria looked expectant.
Li Zhen said with certainty: "Of course, you can definitely do it. Then, madam, you won't need to worry about life at home. Please rest assured, madam, I have no bad intentions. I really hope that there will be wise men who understand the military to teach in the school." Mr. Cotter has a lot of experience and is a wise man, so I thought of him."
Maria frowned and said, "It's not easy to come back after going to China."
Li Zhen shook his head and said with a smile: "If Madam is willing, I can send someone to take you back to the American Federation every year. Moreover, China already has churches and there are many federal citizens in China. You will not be lonely after you go."
Maria nodded and started to get excited.
She was really fed up with the poor life and deeply hated her current life.
Maria suddenly said: "Can my family follow me?"
Li Zhen immediately said: "If your family is willing to go with you, I would be happy to ask for it."
"Okay, our whole family will go to China." Maria nodded.
Scott came out, sat down next to Maria, and said seriously: "Madam, can you not go?"
Maria stared at Scott, with murderous intent looming, and said in a deep voice: "President Li invites you to go with great sincerity, why don't you go? Are you going to let the whole family starve to death? Or, let you My children are suffering, and I am tired of my current life. I have to worry about what to eat next every day, but you don’t care about this. What’s the point of staying, you say.”
Scott sighed and said, "President Lee, you win."
He didn't expect that Li Zhen would actually persuade Maria.
Li Zhen said: "Mr. Scott, it's not me who won. As the words I gave you describe, the martyrs are full of ambition in their old age. Although you are in your seventies, your wisdom is even more brilliant." , is becoming more and more dazzling. If it remains unknown, it will be a waste of your full talent. I think Madam has made a wise decision."
Maria was also very happy when she heard Li Zhen praise Scott.
The more Li Zhen respected Scott, the better their treatment in China would be.
