United states tax collector

White House, Office of the President.

"Farke, Farke, damn David, I knew he still had more of me in his hands!"

Seeing how bad the situation suddenly became, Paiden was also very angry.

Sullivan, who was standing aside, didn't look much better at this time.

It seems that he still underestimated David. Not only has this guy investigated the president, he has also obtained so much powerful black material.

In addition, the level of the two attack articles published by Pinkman is really high.

If the other party had sent it all directly, they would definitely not handle it this way.

But now the other party has sent out the first article first, leading them to refute it in front of the whole country.

After they finished their refutation, they published the second article. This was like putting their previous refutation back in their faces in front of the world, making their refutation instantly a joke. !

"I've warned you before that you have to be cautious when confronting him. Okay now, how can we get off the ground?"

Paden looked at Sullivan slightly complaining.

If Sullivan hadn't immediately persuaded him to attack David as soon as he returned here, no matter how dissatisfied he was, he would definitely not be so direct.

After all, too many people fell at David's hands.

Well now, the other party has indeed got more dirty information about him. Now they are in trouble.

At this moment, Sullivan also had a sad look on his face. He did not expect that David really had so much powerful black information about Paden himself.

Now that all the information has exploded, it has indeed caused them a bit of chaos.

…

Meanwhile, Senado Island.

"What is going on? Didn't we remind Paden to be careful? Why did it happen like this?"

Seeing that the situation suddenly became like this, the faces of the Freemasons were equally ugly.

When they had conflicts with David before, the White House had been trying to fish in troubled waters.

Now they finally managed to drag the White House into their camp, but in the blink of an eye they were dealt with by David. If Paden was forced to resign like the Watergate incident, it would be even more difficult for them.

You know, if Paden is forced to resign now, the person who will be in charge will be Vice President Katira, and Katira has already expressed her position on the last foreign tax avoidance bill, and has obviously become David's lackey.

So once this woman takes office and David controls both Congress and the president, what else do they have to do?

Better prepare to die!

"It's meaningless to say this now. In this situation, Paidon absolutely cannot afford to lose anything. Let's think about how to settle this matter for him!"

As the backbone of the Freemasons, Henrietta was also very angry about this matter, but at the same time, he also knew that keeping Paden was the most important thing now.

"Mr. Henrietta, the second article listed a large amount of black evidence against Paiden's son. It is impossible to refute it, and the people across the country are still angry at being fooled. Therefore, I think Paiden's It would be best for Deng to come forward in person and make a sincere apology to the people across the country!”

Prescott stood up and said.

After the zipper door scandal broke out, it was because of Kerlinton's sincere apology that he finally gained the people's forgiveness and averted the danger.

Now if Paideng comes out to be more sincere and admits his mistake to the people, then there is still a high chance that this matter can be saved.

"What do you think of Prescott's proposal?"

Henrietta looked around at the crowd.

Everyone looked at each other, but in the end no one made any suggestions or refutations, obviously acquiescing to this approach.

"Since everyone has no objections, then call Paidon and give him this suggestion!"

…

White House, Office of the President.

Paden put down the phone with a gloomy look.

The Freemasons asked him to hold a press conference to admit his mistake, and after some discussion just now, Sullivan and his think tank team also came up with this plan.

It seems that this is the only way to do it.

"Let's hold a press conference!"

"Yes, Mr. President!"

Half an hour later, a new press conference was held.

The difference from last time was that Wilder was the host last time, but this time it was Paden himself.

Under all the spotlight, Paden walked to Taichung and said with a regretful expression: "Hello everyone, in view of the accusations and criticisms made against me by the Washington Post, I deeply realize my mistake."

"Actually, when I saw the first article posted by Bauchman, I wanted to hold a press conference to apologize to everyone, but everyone knows that I... I have an unscrupulous son."

"As soon as I heard the news, I ran to my office and cried and begged me not to make it public, so I...I..."

When he said this, Paiden suddenly became choked up and his eyes began to turn red.

At this time, Wilder in the audience also had a tacit understanding. He immediately took out a few tissues and walked up the stage and handed them to Paden.

Paden took the tissue, wiped his wet eyes, and continued: "Originally I didn't want to agree, but my unfilial son actually wanted to threaten me with death. It's called a son's fault for not teaching his father. So it has a lot to do with me and my becoming president.”

"Even if he says this, it's all because of me!"

"In order to make up for this debt, my brain was driven by impulse and I made such a confused decision. I am sorry to the American people..."

At the same time, the Manhattan branch of New York City.

"Haha, our president's performance is really good. It would be a pity not to go to Hollywood!"

Seeing Pai's tearful performance at the press conference, Munson couldn't help but make a sarcastic comment.

"Don't tell me, this is still very effective. At least the pressure on him online has been reduced a lot now!"

"It's normal. After all, he is the president. For such a noble person to apologize tearfully in front of the whole country, this will invisibly give the people a lot of psychological comfort and reduce their criticism of him!"

Jerry and Larin also spoke out one after another.

"Is the third document ready?"

At this time, David, who was sitting, spoke.

"Ready Inspector General."

"Okay, after our Mr. President's 'performance' is over, send it to Pinkman immediately!"

"clear!"

…

The White House, after Paden's tearful apology for nearly an hour, did achieve better results.

It wasn't just the media reporters at the scene who felt some sympathy for Pat himself.

And the same is true for many people online.

Of course, the main reason for achieving such good results is that Paiden is really a bit of a "hole".

Yes, he put all the blame on his son.

When describing his son as a heinous playboy, it also brought out his helplessness as a father, which led to such a result.

Of course, it was just a mistake caused by helplessness. It was not his original intention to do this. There is a big difference between the two!

"Okay, that's all Mr. President has to say, let me add a few more words!"

At this time, Wilder walked onto the stage, took over Paden's baton, and continued: "Everyone already knows that our president is over eighty years old. At this age, most people are already retiring at home and enjoying family life. It’s so funny, but our president is still working hard in this position and trying to bring benefits to the American people.”

"Of course, as the saying goes, there are gains and losses. As I said before, our president has given all his attention to the country, so it is inevitable that we will lose something!"

"For example, caring for your family, and disciplining your son!"

"This is what makes everyone angry. In this regard, I once again implore everyone to understand our president!"

"Because while he is your president, you must also remember that he is also an old man and a father!"

"I've finished speaking. Thank you all friends from the media for coming!"

As Wilder finished speaking, the press conference officially came to an end.

But regarding the discussion of this incident, the trend on the Internet has slowly begun to change.

"It seems that although President Paden deceived us, it was also a helpless act!"

"Yes, every family has a hard time to recite. Who made our president have such an unfilial son in his family? This is really helpless."

"In front of the country and family, our president ultimately chooses the country. This must be understood!"

"..."

It is said that first-class actors are in the political arena, and Paden can aspire to the presidential throne, and his acting skills are naturally not inferior. Under his tearful speech, he indeed moved many people.

Coupled with the guidance of Facebook, YouTube and other major social software controlled by the Freemasons, the direction of the trend has begun to change significantly compared with the previous overwhelming accusations.

Of course, in addition to this, the White House’s professional public relations team also played a big role.

After returning to the Oval Office.

Paden slumped on his chair weakly, and then asked the public relations manager: "How is the public opinion situation now?"

"This is the right move, Mr. President. According to our preliminary public opinion statistics, due to your emotional apology, the rate of forgiveness among the people has reached 52%."

The person in charge of the public relations department answered truthfully.

After hearing these words, Paiden finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that such efforts are rewarded!

But soon, he seemed to have thought of something, and quickly looked at Wilder and said, "What's going on at the Washington Post?"

First the first article came out, then the second one. What he was worried about was that there wouldn't be a third article, right?

If there really is a third article, and like the second article, it contains extremely unfavorable evidence against him, then it will really be over.

"Don't worry, Mr. President, I have sent someone to find their boss with 'sincerity'. I think there will be some results!"

Pinkman was nothing more than an editor-in-chief.

So Wilder's plan is very simple, that is, to find the boss of the Washington Post and have a good 'negotiation' with him to see how to eliminate the next hidden dangers.

"very good."

Paden looked at Sullivan again and said, "The FBI needs to get it done as soon as possible, so that we won't be so passive."

If control of the FBI is still in their hands, there is no way they will be caught off guard by these two articles.

Therefore, he believes that control of this organization must be taken back as soon as possible.

"Don't worry, sir, I have already made an appointment with the leaders of the majority and minority parties in Congress, and I will ask them to support Newland in taking office as soon as possible."

"Then let's talk!"

…

In an office on the top floor of the Washington Post headquarters.

"Mr. Fofana, this is what the president means. Your post has earned such a large amount of traffic now. It's time to stop. If you stop now, then Mr. President has said that bygones are bygones. If you still If you want to continue..."

The representative sent by Wilder did not continue, but the threat was already obvious.

Sitting opposite him was Fofana Ranson, the boss of the Washington Post.

After hearing these threatening words, Fofana's brows knitted into a Sichuan shape.

Although Pinkman had assured him that this time their newspaper would be able to take advantage of this big news to take its position in the industry to a higher level.

But now that the president's representatives have come to threaten him in person, it is impossible to say that he has no scruples.

"I know Mr. Nishizawa, I will consider it!"

"Then you need to think carefully about it, Mr. Fofana. This is the 21st century. Incidents like Watergate will never happen again!"

Of course, the representative known as Nishizawa knew this very well. The reason why the Washington Post went out of its way to report such a gambling news was simply to restore the glory of the Watergate incident.

So now he directly exposes it as a warning!

Sure enough, Fofana was very upset when his thoughts were exposed, but since the other party was a representative sent by the president, he could not refute anything, so he could only wave his hand and issue an eviction order.

After Caesar left, Fofana immediately picked up the landline phone on the table: "Ask Pinkman to come to my office!"

"Mr. President, are you looking for me?"

A few minutes later, Pinkman came to the office dusty.

However, his expression seemed a little impatient at this time. Since the two previous articles were published, his reputation has grown like a rocket, and now he has become a presence that everyone in the industry knows.

And his social media attention originally increased from a few tens of thousands to millions in a short period of time. This huge fame and fortune almost made him crazy with excitement.

Just now, he had received the third document from David and was about to sharpen his sword, but unexpectedly he was interrupted by Mel calling over. This naturally made him Somewhat unhappy. (End of chapter)
