Shadow Spy

Chapter 333 The chief assistant has meaning

Hearing that Roosevelt wanted to see him, Li Junhao was really shocked, but his hands did not pause at all and continued to pour water and make tea smoothly.

Ayers, who was looking at him from the side, nodded with satisfaction and secretly praised him.

Li Junhao poured two cups of tea and gave one to Ayers. He then picked up a cup, tasted it, nodded, this Ceylon black tea is not bad, and then asked: "Mr. Roosevelt wants to see me? Why? Invite me." Be the vice president?"

"Ahem..." Ayers almost spit out the tea in his mouth. He tried to swallow the tea, but he choked and coughed. Fortunately, the problem was not serious, and he recovered after coughing a few times.Seeing Li Junhao getting up to come over, he waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, took two more breaths, and then said angrily: "You stinky boy, you are talking nonsense again!"

Seeing that he was fine, Li Junhao smiled and drank tea without saying anything, but he was thinking: Roosevelt had just been re-elected, what was he doing to him?
Ayers put down his tea cup and said seriously: "Little Ogg, next month, President Roosevelt will announce a new staff team, and I will serve as the National Security Advisor... This is actually all thanks to the war situations you wrote to me before. Analysis report..." As he spoke, he recounted everything that had happened during the campaign.

Li Junhao's eyes lit up when he heard that Ayers was going to be the national security adviser. This is a great thing!
He certainly knows what this position means. Although the name of this consultant sounds a bit pragmatic, in fact its powers are astonishing. They are usually held by the president's most trusted people, providing key to the president's military decision-making. The military advisor can be said to be the military adviser and think tank in the presidential team, and can even take over the chief officer of the Army Department, Navy Department, or Joint Chiefs of Staff when necessary under the authorization of the president. It is one of the most important positions in the presidential team.

At this time, Ayers continued: "I have proposed that you serve as the principal assistant to the national security adviser, and the president has agreed." After saying this, he wanted to see Little Ogg's reaction.

Li Junhao said "Oh" and said: "Okay, I'm just going to be your assistant, no problem! However, I don't want to leave Shanghai, and don't expect me to work as an assistant in Washington in the future. Like before, occasionally I just need to write you an analysis report or something... By the way, Uncle, can I get double salary like this?"

Ayres felt that it was the right thing for him to say something after putting down the teacup, otherwise he would really be so angry this time - after making a fuss for a long time, this kid had no idea what this position meant!Originally, he wanted to explain it to him, but now he felt so tired, so he decided not to say anything and just drink tea!
-
That night, Li Junhao and two guards stayed at Ayers' home. There were enough rooms here for everyone to have a good rest, and the security outside was very thorough, allowing everyone to relax and rest.

Before going to bed, Li Junhao was thinking about the conversation he had just had with Ayers. Looking at the old man's expression, he realized that the position of "Principal Assistant to the National Security Advisor" was not what he thought before. It seemed to have a special meaning, but it should be I made the old man angry, and he actually ignored me!Well, ask Mrs. Brown tomorrow! ——
Probably because of the time difference, Li Junhao and the others did not get up early the next morning. After all, Washington is 13 hours behind China time. In addition, the previous flight of more than 1.5 kilometers consumed a lot of their physical strength and energy. !
Li Junhao's physical fitness was much better than ordinary people, and he didn't wake up until almost ten o'clock, but Nick and Avni slept until noon.However, Avni woke up at 11:[-], but Nick slept until almost [-] pm, which shows that Avni's physical fitness is actually better than Nick, which surprised Li Junhao!

Today is the weekend, and Ayers has not gone to work. Of course, he is not idle at home. Some documents compiled by Mrs. Brown still need to be reviewed and processed by him, which is not much easier.

Li Junhao noticed a phenomenon, that is, Mrs. Brown also lived here!Then think about the fact that he worked as a secretary with Ayers for 12 years... plus Ayers' wife seems to have passed away a long time ago... Huh?There seems to be a story in this!
It was a little late yesterday. After getting up today, Li Junhao took a good look at the villa. It is a new modern architectural style with a three-story brick and wood structure. It covers an area of ​​more than [-] square meters. There are [-] square meters of courtyards in front of and behind the house. The lawn is neatly taken care of.

Li Junhao already knew at this time that this house was actually an official residence, not Ayres's private property; the entire villa area was owned by the government and was used to house senior officials whose families were out of town. The surrounding area was guarded by the Marine Corps. The security in the villa area is handled by the Security Bureau of the Ministry of Justice, and those black suits actually belong to professional agents.

In this villa, in addition to Ayers, Mrs. Brown, and personal bodyguard White, there is also a cook, a maid, a gardener, a guard and driver.It seems that the old man's life in Washington is taken care of very well.

While he was exercising in the yard, he chatted with White for a while. Although the two of them met frequently in Shanghai in the past, they really didn't exchange a few words. Now when they meet, they feel very cordial and their chats are lively.

White's character is actually very introverted and he basically doesn't talk to people he doesn't know well. However, he has known Li Junhao for a long time and is very aware of his status in Ayers' mind, so he is naturally willing to say a few more words.

One wanted to inquire and the other was willing to tell him, so Li Junhao quickly learned a lot of information he wanted to know.

Ayres's wife died young, and they have a son and a daughter, both in their 30s. After getting married, they both lived in New York, and they were able to take care of each other; while the old man himself has been engaged in diplomatic work for the past ten years, most of the time. Being abroad, there are very few opportunities to meet the children, which is the norm for American families.

Secretary Alyssa Brown is 41 years old this year. Brown is her husband’s surname, and her real surname is Karaman. Her husband died in a car accident shortly after the marriage. Alyssa did not remarry, but devoted herself to her work. From being a secretary to Ayers 12 years ago, he has been Ayers' most capable assistant until now.

In this case, Li Junhao felt that it was inappropriate to call her Mrs. Brown, so when he saw her again, he started to call her Alyssa directly. After surprising her, he was overjoyed.

Ayers, who was next to him, noticed the title and didn't say anything, so he acquiesced.
