A photo!

After opening the envelope, Senator Wells only saw one photo. The moment he saw the photo, his entire face changed instantly, his lips trembled slightly, and he felt his heart skip a beat.

If any normal person saw the scene in the photo, they would only find it extremely disgusting. But... at this moment, Senator Wells' phone rang. He had no intention of answering it.

He finally picked up the phone.

"Is that Senator Wells?"

He spoke to Yan, and it was a man's voice that was very unfamiliar. The call and the photo made Wells alert.

"Who are you?"

The man on the other end of the phone just smiled.

"Mr. Senator, don't ask me who I am, but I know you are a senator. One day, when I was staying in a hotel, I accidentally saw the pictures in the room you opened under a pseudonym. It happened to be that I

I had a camera in my hand, so I took a few photos!”

Although the man's voice on the phone was very calm, Wells was still frightened for a while. He tried to calm down his excited and angry mood and asked calmly.

"What do you want?"

Since the other party took the photo and gave it to him, he must be trying to get something from him, money or something? In short, no matter what he was trying to get, Wells knew that he could only satisfy the other party's request.

The man on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then said:

"I think? I want to send this photo to the newspaper so that everyone can see how Mrs. Wells's perfect, gentleman husband had a tryst with her lover, and that lover was still a man!

"

The other party's words only made Wells tremble with excitement, and asked him in a trembling voice:

"What do you want?"

He knew that this person must be using this to blackmail him and blackmail him.

The other party paused for a moment, thinking that his goal was achieved, and said coldly:

"I just need you to do me a small favor and give me ten thousand dollars! Wait for my call."

Small favor, what kind of small favor will it be?

His brows were furrowed and he was silent. As a senator, although Wells was very angry when this happened, he became extremely calm after the initial anger, even though his heart was already in chaos.

group.

"It's a small favor. It's okay to do the other person a favor, but for things like blackmail, how can you guarantee that he won't blackmail you the first time? Will there be a second time?"

"Then what should we do? We can't let him really ruin his reputation, right?"

If he really publishes the stuff, it will definitely cause a sensation and cause uproar in the city. Not only will his life be difficult, but his family will be humiliated because of it. His father, brothers, sisters, and daughter-in-law will all be unable to look up to others.

At first, as the heir to a political family, Wells knew the dangers of the news.

Now, Wells even hates his unusual and perverted "hobby."

Gay!

Not to mention for a politician, even for ordinary people, this is unacceptable and even illegal. Family reputation, personal career, social pressure, everything is placed in front of him at this time.

After pondering for a long time, Wells picked up a business card on the table. That business card was introduced to him by a friend. That person could help him solve a lot of troubles and keep it absolutely confidential. The only exchange condition was that when appropriate,

Give him some help when needed.

"Hello, is this Mr. Carlisle? I'm Tom Wells!"

Half an hour later, Wells and Carlisle met. After the two talked for a while, Carlisle looked at Wells with a smile and said.

"Don't worry, he won't do this until he gets the money. So after giving him one million, be sure to ask him to hand over his things."

After hearing what he said, Wells said,

"It's not convenient for me to do this..."

"Please rest assured, since you have found me, I will handle this matter!"

The next day, Wells gave Carlisle $10,000 in cash and asked him to handle it. He also told him to be careful.

After getting the cash from Wells, Carlisle smiled and put the money into his drawer. A few hours later, Carlisle personally sent the photo and the bottom line to Wells, along with the

Ten thousand yuan, and in his words, the matter has been resolved.

Yes, the facts have been solved. Only Carlisle knows the truth of the matter. The truth of the matter is - he asked someone to take the photos, the "blackmail" was ordered by him, and he is the instigator behind this matter.

As a public relations expert, Carlisle knew very well that if he personally came forward to blackmail, he would undoubtedly block his own path in Washington. Therefore, he chose another way to instruct others to carry out all this, while he was directing behind the scenes.

All he needs is to ensure that the other party comes to him for "crisis public relations". Through this kind of crisis public relations, he can not only achieve his own goals, but also develop his "public relations market" in Washington and establish a good relationship with Washington officials.

relation.

Just like now, a small thing gained him the friendship of Wells, and a few days later, Wells was able to support him on that issue.

“Build a network and then use it!”

As a "public relations expert" Carlisle has his own creed. In order to achieve the goal, he can do anything and use any means. Of course, these are just means, just means to achieve the goal.

The Toulouse Hotel adjacent to Capitol Hill serves "politically incorrect" delicacies such as veal and red meat with béchamel sauce, which makes this restaurant the first choice for working breakfast meetings of Washington's elite. It is really ridiculous. This morning

, the Toulouse Hotel was busy again - the harsh clang of silverware, the rotation of the coffee machine, and the chatter of Washington elites were all intertwined in the atmosphere.

While Wells was enjoying a sumptuous lunch, a reporter appeared next to him. Facing the reporter from the "Washington Post", Senator Wells suddenly showed a hypocritical smile and answered the reporter's interview in a sophisticated manner.

.

The reporter took out a palm-sized notepad, opened it, and asked:

"Mr. Senator, you have called for legislation to ensure the prohibition of child labor and to achieve equal pay for men and women for equal work... and to introduce tax breaks for newly formed families. Can you tell me why you want to do this?"

"Of course. I think that as a civilized country, the United States should never employ child labor. To a certain extent, the connotation of child labor is equivalent to barbarism. As for equal pay for equal work for men and women, this question is very simple. Why do they do the same job? Just because she

A woman only gets $15 an hour, but a man gets $25? This is extremely unfair and also an extremely abnormal phenomenon. The reason why America is great is precisely reflected in his

If fairness no longer exists, then what is great about America?"

Senator Wells' answer obviously satisfied the reporter. The reporter nodded in agreement and asked other questions.

"Also, on family matters,"

After Senator Wells answered one by one, the reporter continued to ask,

"You've spoken a lot about education. You've proposed cutting some controversial budgets to allocate more money to our nation's schools."

"I believe that children are our future. If our future does not have a good education, then the United States will have no future. For the future of the United States, the United States must invest more in education. Now the United States is the world's largest

The richest country, but our investment in education is lower than that of Germany. This needs every American to reflect. If this phenomenon continues, then one day, our children and grandchildren will provide the education for our generation today.

You will pay the price for your stupidity and shortsightedness.”

In front of reporters, any senator will use the most beautiful words in the world to say "righteousness". As for behind the scenes, who cares whether they can do it or not?

"Sir, I have another question."

The Washington Post reporter continued to ask,

"Your votes have surged over the past few weeks, which has been quite nerve-wracking for the president. What do you think of your recent success?"

"I think this is all inseparable from the word integrity. The American people have now seen that the president appears to be very naive and slow in dealing with the difficult issues facing the country. When our merchant ships were sunk, our people were harmed.

At that time, our president was still talking about peace, and people have realized that it is time for the United States to change its attitude in this war.

Obviously, Wells, like many Republicans at this time, stood in support of the war. To be precise, he stood on the opposite side of the Democrats. Moreover, the upper echelons of the United States were originally dissatisfied with Wilson's "lateness" in the European war.

"Dun" was very dissatisfied. At this time, Wells's words were just an expression. The reporter stared at Senator Wells and suddenly asked:

"Sir, may I ask, what do you think of the proposal that Chairman Johnson of the Foreign Affairs Committee submitted to Congress to give China equal status?"

This reporter's question is actually a somewhat difficult question. Senator Wells' previous remarks put him in an extremely disadvantageous position on this question, but now Wells has already prepared his lines for the question.

.

Wells coughed lightly and said with an embarrassed look:

"this……."

Senator Wells' attitude immediately softened, and he laughed heartily:

"First of all, as a Republican, I also support equal treatment of China. In fact, in my opinion, giving equal status to any country is something that the United States should have done long ago. This is the same as the values ​​of the United States. The United States

The reason for the rebellion is precisely because the United Kingdom cannot grant us equal status. Even if the United States' rebellion is to strive for freedom and equality, why can't we grant equal status to other countries? The White House is different. The White House is witnessing

China's rise, for example, last year's Chinese army defeated the Japanese army and elite navy, this decision was made under the premise, which fully shows that the White House's diplomatic thinking is based on the backward concept of "strength diplomacy".

In terms of foreign policy that is barbaric and full of colonialism. The reason why I support giving equal status to China is because the basic belief of this country we love is to give equal status to every country without any objection.

Equality between countries, this is the basic international principle that all countries must abide by since the development of human civilization. But now..."

Senator Wells paused, looked at the reporter in front of him and then said,

"In fact, we are just making up for the mistakes we made before. When it comes to dealing with China and many backward countries, the United States, which we believe in freedom and equality, has made many mistakes. What is gratifying is that today we will have

Opportunity to right this wrong! What do you think? Mr. Henrys”

At this time, "Washington Post" reporter Henrys was obviously stunned by Senator Wells's remarks. If he remembered correctly, just three days ago, Wells still held an opposing position.
