my husband is the leader

"But can I really? Can non-white people really get a job in government these days..."

Jenna doubts this very much, after all, this is the nineteenth century, it is too difficult and too incredible.But Valentine didn't answer her question directly, but looked at her suddenly and asked calmly, "Jenna, which napkin do you think is the right one to pick up first?"

Which napkin do you pick up?What is the problem?table manners?Does it have anything to do with her eligibility for government service?

Jenna felt a little puzzled. She was at a round table with the president now. The manager did not take away the other tableware, but there were napkins on the left and right sides of the consecutive tableware.In fact, she couldn't figure this out even in modern dining etiquette. Although she thought the question was strange, she still answered casually, "...Is it the left side?"

"No, the correct one is the action performed by the first person."

Valentine replied gravely and sternly, "Once someone at the table picks up the right napkin first, everyone else has to pick up the right napkin, and if the left napkin goes first, Then everyone will also take the napkin on the left, and they must do so, and this is what is called society.” (Note [-])

"You mean..." Jenna suddenly understood something. She opened her eyes slightly and looked at the president in disbelief.

In other words, as long as the president intends to do this and set a precedent, others must not choose to follow and agree to give Asians a chance!

What a nice man he is!

"If you prove your ability, you can become the first Asian to play for your country."

"...Great, thank you, I will prepare to go to Washington again."

After Jenna finally came to her senses, she thanked Valentine sincerely and gratefully.

She really has a chance!She'd love to pack her bags and head out overnight, but she still has a lot to prepare.

Because she is not sure whether she will definitely be hired, in case something goes wrong, such as the White House... Of course it is not called the White House yet, and the person in charge of interviewing her is full of racial discrimination, so serious that even if it is recommended by the president, she is unwilling Give an Asian a job in a government department, and if you deliberately make excuses to say that she is terrible and get her out, then she really has nothing to do.

After all, she is not a relative or relative of the president. Valentine is just willing to give her a fair chance, but whether she can get a job still depends on her luck and ability.Once the person who interviewed her told the president that she was no good and said a lot of bad things about her, the president would have a bad impression of her.Generally speaking, you must give priority to trusting your staff, and think that she is really not good enough, and it is impossible to make an exception and give her a job.

Then she would have to keep looking for a job, take a train to Washington, and rent a house.If they can't find a job and have no money, they will probably starve to death. If they can't pay the rent, they can only live in those dirty and smelly guest houses separated by wooden boards.Infectious diseases are common in that kind of place, and there is no guarantee of safety. Even if he is murdered by Diego in the end, it would be more dignified to die in the manor.

So she must be well prepared to go to Washington.After returning home, save money while doing homework, write some job proposals, prepare for interview speeches, and use sharp and unique insights to impress others. At least this American history that seems to be different from the real history and Understand the social situation clearly.

Then bring enough money and you can go.

All the money that the original owner had worked for for so long was given to her family, and she didn't keep any money, otherwise she could resign and leave immediately.Of course, theft is absolutely unavoidable. In the 19th century, the crime of theft was very serious, and hands would be chopped off in the UK. Therefore, the current situation is that he can only continue to work in the manor and resign from Ms. Sansa before the end of the month.

As long as she doesn't really poison Sansa, at least the rich woman will not die for a month after she leaves, and what happens in the manor after that has nothing to do with her.At most, after she stabilized, she wrote an anonymous letter to tell the rich woman about her husband's attempt to kill her... It is very difficult for her to just try to live, and this is what she can do with kindness and righteousness.

"No problem at all."

Valentine nodded happily, and then he ordered the manager to bring the letter paper, and quickly wrote a paragraph on it with a pen.Jenna sat opposite the president with her back straight, holding her breath and waiting quietly.After the president finished writing the content, he signed his name Funny Valentine at the end, sealed the envelope with wax paint, and handed it to Jenna.

Every time she sees the president's name, Jenna also feels funny...but her conscience tells her not to care about the name, the president is really nice.

She accepted the letter of recommendation with great excitement, then rose from the table and bowed deeply to Valentine.

"Thank you very much! Mr. President! I will definitely live up to your expectations and work hard to repay the society!"

"I'm glad you think so."

Valentine replied flatly, and stared at Jenna for a while with sizing eyes.His gaze seemed to have penetrating power. It was the first time she sat face to face with such a high-status person. She tried her best to overcome the uneasiness in her heart and kept talking with him politely.

"Speaking of which, how old are you? You look very young."

"I'm an adult!"

Jenna actually didn't know the age of the original owner. She looked really young, but she was afraid of losing her job, so she quickly replied, "We Asians just look young. Don't worry, I will definitely hire you." It's legal!"

"I didn't say it was illegal."

Valentine's lips curled up, as if amused by her, and the words "lovely girl full of energy" appeared above his head again, and his firm blue eyes softened a little.

"Are you an immigrant? You look different from other Qing people. If you work as a maid in the manor, what about your family? What are they doing?"

"Yes, we came here half a year ago."

Jenna scratched her head embarrassingly. The rich ladies in this era are either pedantic, poor or timid. She is a modern person who has been liberated, so she is completely different from others!Although there is a bit of social fear, it is still healthy and uplifting overall, and it does not have the sense of depression and despair that people of this era have.

However, she answered the president's question honestly, "My family members are just like other Chinese workers. They work in digging railways or factories, and their income is barely enough to make ends meet. Thank you for your concern."

She suspects that this is the same as the leader caring about the people, asking casually for research.But considering that this is a capitalist society, don’t expect them to be able to find out with conscience that they should be thankful that there is no Chinese Exclusion Act in this ugly country of time and space, although people of yellow race are still discriminated against.

"Are they all as smart as you?"

Valentine looked at her and said, "Your English is very fluent, and your insights on some issues are also very rational and unique. It is completely different from other immigrants I have seen. For example, your self-introduction part is like a person who read University, words written by talented people."

"I did study." She was a little guilty, but still replied ambiguously, "Actually, if I have the opportunity, I would like to go to university. Of course, this is just a dream. I know I can't afford the tuition."

If you can get an American university degree, you don’t have to worry about not being able to find any job, but she remembers that in this era, colleges seem to require a letter of recommendation, and the tuition is very expensive, which is definitely not affordable for a person like her. .

No matter how you think about it, in this dark and narrow nineteenth century, the most developed countries in the world are Britain and the United States.Even if she is not familiar with the place, it is much better than staying in the Qing Dynasty. She really has no interest in braided bald people at all!If she hadn't immigrated here, she would have been forced to marry by now, and she might have a child!To some extent, it is also fortunate, at least I have the right to pursue freedom.

It's a pity that there are many dangers around her, and she must first find a way to pass Diego's level...

"You are a hardworking girl." Valentine looked at Jenna approvingly, "I like people who are serious and uplifting. Anyone can get a better life through their hard work, courage, creativity, and determination. This is the American Dream." .” (Note [-])

American dream?Jenna subconsciously wants to complain, before solving the problem of discrimination against people of color, he can go to his American dream...

But she does see hope in herself now.

"I'll take your words to heart, Mr. President, and it gave me a lot of courage."

Jenna smiled shyly, while the president still kept a generous smile and stared at her intently.At this time, the manager finally brought the food.

A delicious steak wrapped in butter and toasted golden soft bread, and a vegetable salad that smelled of nothing.

Jenna suddenly felt a little guilty. When the president picked up the napkin, she quickly cut half of her steak and tried to share it with him.

"Why don't you also have some... If you just finished exercising, you need protein to build muscle. If you only eat vegetables, you will not only lose weight, but also lose muscle."

"You know a lot about nutrition, and my personal doctor really suggested that."

Valentine glanced at her unexpectedly, but didn't accept the steak, he shook his head, "But I need to keep in shape, I didn't pay attention to body management for a while, excessive drinking of cola and beer made me gain weight, now through fitness Restored the physique I was in the military, you know, I was a soldier, and I ran for president after I got out of the army."

"Really? You can't see it at all." Jenna looked at him in surprise and sighed, "Your appearance is perfect now, and you look very young, at most 30 years old."

"Then I shall take it as a compliment."

Then Valentine calmly ate the vegetable salad with a knife and fork.

...he is a ruthless man with a strong willpower!Jenna looked at him with admiration. He was able to remain unmoved by the delicious meat and choose to eat grass in a hungry state. With this perseverance and determination, he is definitely worthy of being elected president!

"I want to go to the bathroom once." Jenna finally relaxed and asked with a blushing face.

"of course."

So he ran to the bathroom to solve the problem, but when he returned to the dining table, he found something was wrong at Valentine's dining table.

A beautiful woman slapped the table angrily and kept asking Valentine for an explanation.The displeased eyes of the men around were focused on the woman, the manager tried to persuade her to no avail, but Valentine looked at her indifferently, and replied calmly, "I have made a decision, Scarlett, in fact, you and I know It is clear that neither of them has any desire for each other."

"But it's not a reason to cancel the engagement, and you also have something that attracts me. Apart from me, there is no better choice for you!"

Scarlett looked very unwilling, her lips were painted as scarlet as her name.Valentine didn't seem to have much interest in talking to her, and was always indifferent.

Scarlett suddenly became even angrier, "Do you have a new love? Otherwise, I don't think that absurd rumor is a reason to cancel the engagement. You made us all a joke!"

"Who is that woman you're dating here with? I heard you made your decision after listening to her advice!"

...What, what to do!

It really wasn't her instigation! !

Jenna was extremely guilty for a moment, mainly because the president's ex-fiancee felt that she had a background. If she was angered, she felt that she was really finished, and she might die faster than Diego.

Valentine's ex-fiancée looks very agitated, and Jenna sees the words "I'm going to kill her" popping out of Scarlett's head.She was so frightened that she stopped immediately, hesitating whether she should go back to her seat, but at this moment, Scarlett suddenly turned her head and looked over, and suddenly someone covered her mouth and dragged her behind the pillar.

"!!"

"Be careful, honey, you really shouldn't be here again."

That chocolate-smooth and sweet voice rang in Jenna's ears, but this time it wasn't the gentleness he pretended to be in Jenna's impression.She suddenly turned her head in horror, and saw the handsome blond man staring at her with a slightly mocking expression.

"Look, you accidentally ran into trouble, didn't you?"
