my husband is the leader
Chapter 38
In the afternoon of the second day, Stephen Steel, the initiator and organizer of the SBR competition, arrived in Washington by train and was allowed to meet with President Valentine.The entrance of the official residence was already full of journalists, in order to confirm whether the SBR competition was allowed to be held.
Mr. Steele was an elderly man, thin and ordinary-looking, but ambitious.He analyzed to the president one by one the benefits that the competition he wanted to bring to the United States, such as not only promoting cultural exchanges, but also bringing excellent talents to the United States, and the development of tourism to promote the economy.
At that time, the world's top horse racers will come to participate, because there is no restriction on the means of transportation that can be used, and people can even make their own tools. For example, a German applied to use "cars" to participate in the competition, which is also allowed.
Valentine patiently listened to Mr. Steele's introduction of the rules and risks of the competition. In order to reduce the risks as much as possible, their working group will follow the players in the air in a hot air balloon throughout the process, and they can withdraw from the competition at any time.And there are stages in the race, not all running, for the sake of fairness, players and horses will get enough rest time.
While doing shorthand, Jenna wondered that Valentine knew the game very well, but she had to pretend that she didn't.
But the most crucial thing Mr. Steele mentioned caught her attention.
"In order to attract outstanding talents from all over the world to actively participate in the SBR competition, we have set a prize of 5000 million US dollars for the champion!"
The pen she was writing quickly on the paper stopped, and she looked up at Mr. Steele in disbelief.
"Fifty million dollars?" she confirmed uncertainly.
"Yes, miss, this is the prize money for the champion."
Mr. Steele explained to her earnestly, "Of course the money is sponsored. As for where the sponsor comes from, I must keep it a secret."
"Is it true that everyone can participate? Regardless of age and gender?"
"Of course, miss. But because this is a tough competition, generally only the strongest men and the best stamina horses can survive, so no matter how many people sign up, they will all be eliminated in the early stage." Shi Mr. Till laughed.
After Valentine signed the agreement agreeing to hold the competition, and Jenna sent Mr. Steele away, she seemed completely absent-minded, sitting at the desk and biting the pen cap in a daze.
"What are you thinking?" Valentine suddenly interrupted Jenna's meditation, staring at her intently.
"Thinking about that game..." Jenna replied in a daze.
"Why, are you interested?" Valentine raised his eyebrows.
"Yeah... I want to sign up."
$5000 million is a lot of money in modern times!Not to mention America in the 19th century.Anyone who gets this money can buy a small Eastern European country, and Jenna is really excited.The competition is next year, so is it too late for her to learn how to ride a horse within a year?Otherwise, she would ask the German who wants to use the car for the blueprint, and she has a driver's license!
But after Jenna blurted out the joke, Valentine's expression suddenly turned serious.
"Are you kidding me?" His golden brow furrowed.
"Huh? Is there something wrong, sir?" Jenna still didn't understand the situation, and she looked very confused.
"Stupid! What do you want to do in that competition!"
His tone could almost be called fierce. Jenna was taken aback immediately, and she looked at him blankly, "Why can't I participate? After all, the prize money is so generous, I think people in the whole of America will want to participate... "
This competition sounds like a hunter exam, but the reality is much safer than the hunter exam, unless there is a psychopath like Hisoka among the contestants who kills people randomly.Of course, she also knew how could a rookie like herself, who was incapable of sports and could not ride a horse, win out from so many elites?It's just a dream...
"Do you want me to insult you? Are you abnormal or what's going on? Otherwise, I don't understand why you have such a ridiculous idea. I thought you weren't the kind of person who would lose himself for profit!"
"..."
Valentine had never been so cruel to her before, and he scolded her sharply, and his words were not polite.Jenna felt terribly wronged at once, but he just gave it a slap, and he acted like she was a disappointing idiot, or screwed up something important.
"...I'm sorry. But I don't understand why you are so angry. If I did something wrong, please tell me the reason directly instead of scolding me so excessively."
She also has a temper. Although she would not get angry at her benefactor, she began to keep silent, after all, what he said was really too much.
But Valentine's attitude quickly softened, he seemed to feel Jenna's emotions, he stared at her for a moment, and then explained very calmly, "Really? I thought you had seen what was in my heart I know the real purpose of this competition."
"No, I haven't seen it."
Jenna was a little surprised, and then quickly explained to Valentine, "I haven't been peeking at your thoughts, sir, as long as you don't tell me about confidential matters, I won't peep. I'm very sensible and know what to do." Know what not to."
"It turns out that I misunderstood you."
Valentine nodded, his eyes gradually softened, and at the same time he gently apologized to Jenna, "I just don't want you to do stupid things, because you are very important to me, now I will tell you the truth about this contest you."
"Can I know these secrets?" Jenna asked uncertainly.
She felt that she smelled a conspiracy, and suddenly realized that this matter might not be that simple.
"Of course, because I trust you, you will definitely stand on the same side as me."
Valentine was full of confidence, he got up and closed the door of the office, and ordered that no one should come into the office to disturb him for the time being.Then he came back, put his leather-gloved hand on the North American plate map on the office wall, and announced to Jenna with deep and piercing eyes.
"The real purpose of the government's permission to hold this 6000-kilometer race across the North American continent is to collect the 'sage remains' scattered everywhere!"
"what?!"
Jenna's eyes widened immediately, and she subconsciously covered her mouth, almost screaming.
This is a completely unexpected answer!
"Because the corpse will choose the target fusion by itself. You and I are the chosen ones, but besides us, there are also many people who are also eligible to be selected by the corpse. The remains of the saints are scattered all over the North American continent. If you want to use the normal It may take decades or even a hundred years to collect all the remains. But once the remains of the saints are collected, the remains will bless those who own them."
Valentine explained rationally and calmly, "This is a difficult business, and I am not collecting the remains for selfish desires or the idea of dominating others. I have a 'patriotic heart', and everything is to make the country permanent. Prosperity and prosperity will bring eternal peace to the world, so collecting the remains of the saints is an indispensable part of the plan! Even if it costs a lot, even if I have to sacrifice my own life, I will not hesitate."
"..."
After he finished speaking, there was a long silence in the president's office.Jenna stared at Valentine in astonishment, completely shocked by the impassioned speech.
[My heart and my deeds are as clear as a mirror, and everything I do is just. 】
Especially through mind reading, she could see that he had only one very clear idea in his mind and nothing else, which made her more sure that Valentine was a selfless person.
He is a great patriot!A truly fine politician!
"I'm sorry that I misunderstood you... I was so superficial that I didn't realize your real intention at all."
Jenna immediately apologized to him in shame, for having completely misunderstood him, and for being mad at him for her selfish thoughts.But Valentine didn't care at all. He put his hand on Jenna's shoulder, looked at her gently and said, "It's okay, because I believe that you will definitely stand by my side after knowing the truth. Are you willing to do this for this Are you working hard in your career? Of course, I don’t want you to make sacrifices, but I hope you can be of use to me, so that together we can make this country and the whole world a better place.”
"Yes, sir!"
Jenna seems to be emotionally infected by him, and only a truly selfless person can use this power correctly.If Valentine's great goal can be realized, perhaps the history of this fictional world will be different, and even World War I and World War II may not happen again!He must be able to prevent all misfortunes!
"Yes, I'm glad you agreed."
Valentine laughed again, and at the same time he came to Jenna's side, staring at her intently and said.
"For this great goal, I need you to be my wife. I feel that my body has an instinct for you, and I have been deeply attracted by you."
"........."
Jenna opened her mouth, staring at Valentine uncertainly, suddenly at a loss for an answer.
Did she get it wrong?Had Mr. Valentine said something strange to her?
Is this a confession from an American man or what?
Mr. Steele was an elderly man, thin and ordinary-looking, but ambitious.He analyzed to the president one by one the benefits that the competition he wanted to bring to the United States, such as not only promoting cultural exchanges, but also bringing excellent talents to the United States, and the development of tourism to promote the economy.
