50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 305 The White House Stealing List
The White House opened for tours at 7:30 a.m. on Tuesday. Appointments were required and people lined up, which was essentially buying tickets, but the tours were free.

However, foreign tourists are prohibited from visiting this place, but Sun Zhiwei is not afraid. He is currently using an identity obtained from Xu Yimin, a genuine Bald Eagle.

This identity is real, and he doesn't know its origin, but it certainly came from a friendly person.

Chinese people are scattered all over the world, with overseas Chinese in almost every country. How many of these Chinese living abroad do not wish for their motherland to become strong?

Therefore, providing as much assistance as possible to the country is a conscious action for most people.

During World War II, so many overseas Chinese donated money and supplies, and some even sent their sons back to China to join the army, which is a testament to this.

Just like the song says: Same blood, same race, same tears, same pain.

With the same yellow skin and the same black eyes, the shared language and ethnicity are an inseparable bond.

Sun Zhiwei entered the White House using this type of identification. The parts of the White House open to the public free of charge include the first and second floors of the Main Room and the White House Gardens.

At the guard post at the side entrance of the White House, visitors need to go through security checks, and you are not allowed to bring cameras or bags.

The rule prohibiting cameras was abolished in July 2015 by then-First Lady Michelle Obama.

Afterwards, the White House posted a sign on the wall saying "Photos are welcome." Only then were later visitors allowed to leave the White House with their photos.

After passing through security, visitors received a free map of the White House with a tour route.

The cableway enters through the side gate and exits through the north gate; entry is prohibited in areas without cableway access.

In its early days, the White House was not called by this name; it was called the Presidential Palace or the Presidential Residence.

In the early 18th century, the Bald Eagle's territory was still small, so it was always focused on expanding its territory and coveted the Great Lakes region of Canada to the north.

So one year they attempted to take control of the Great Lakes region by force, but were met with strong resistance from the Anglo-Canadian coalition.

Even in 1814, after the Anglo-Canadian forces defeated the Bald Eagles' troops, they marched all the way to Washington and burned the presidential palace to the ground.

After that, the presidential palace was rebuilt, and the entire exterior wall was painted white. It was only later that people began to call it the 'White House'.

Sun Zhiwei followed the tourists into the White House through a side door. There were no guides, and tourists could freely visit the open areas.

He walked in following the map, while maximizing the space he could access.

The White House's main building is 51.51 meters wide and 25.75 meters deep. It appears to have three floors, but it actually has six floors because it also has three basement levels.

Deeper underground than the basement, there are complete nuclear defense facilities and escape tunnels.

Visitors can only tour the two floors on the ground floor; the third floor is the president's residence.

But that's enough. He just needs to follow the route indicated on the map and walk slowly. All the places he needs to see can be seen through the space.

As you walk along, you'll find a quiet library and map room, which contain 18th-century hand-drawn maps and valuable documents from past presidents.

There is also a porcelain room for storing exquisite porcelain and a gold and silver room for storing gold and silver utensils.

The Oval Office in the West Wing is the most popular view for every tourist, and Sun Zhiwei is no exception.

He saw the legendary desk there—the Desk of Steadfastness.

Out of curiosity, he actually used his spatial vision to examine the old table and indeed discovered several hidden storage spaces inside. Unfortunately, they were completely empty.

During his visit, he did not forget his purpose for the day. Every time he entered an office, he would examine the documents inside, looking for a possible list of candidates for the next cabinet.

However, he hadn't found such a document. With his 45-minute visit time almost up, he used his spatial ability to glance at the third floor with some impatience.

The third floor is still a bit messy. Many daily necessities and decorations are in a packaged state, waiting to be unpacked and rearranged.

Just as he was about to look away in disappointment, he found the document on Jimmy's bedside table.

The document was not a printed copy of an official order, but a handwritten draft listing a series of names and titles.

Sun Zhiwei was overjoyed. After confirming that no one was in the bedroom on the third floor, he immediately put the documents into his spatial storage.

Then, I went into an office that no one ever visited.

He quickly took out the draft and placed it on a desk, then took out his camera and snapped three photos in quick succession.

After taking the photos, he quickly put the camera away and returned the draft to the bedside table in his bedroom on the third floor.

With his mission accomplished, Sun Zhiwei finally relaxed and began to enjoy the final part of his tour.

It must be said that the Americans are doing quite well now, at least in some vanity projects.

This policy of opening the presidential residence to the public is truly unique to the United States.

It was just past 9 a.m. when Sun Zhiwei left the White House. He first changed his clothes and went back to the liaison office to hand over the task to Deputy Director Han.

Deputy Director Han was amazed that he was able to complete the task in such a short time.

However, Sun Zhiwei also reminded him that this list was obviously just a draft and not 100% accurate, and the final list might not have been released yet.

Deputy Director Han expressed his understanding, saying that even a finalized list could be changed due to various unforeseen circumstances, let alone a draft.

Therefore, Deputy Director Han told him not to worry. Even if it's just a draft, getting it in advance would be of great value.

Having completed the first task, Sun Zhiwei wanted the second one.

Unfortunately, Deputy Director Han said that the second task had not yet arrived, and asked him to take advantage of his free time these few days to settle down properly.

Since there were no new assignments, Sun Zhiwei left the liaison office and continued looking for work.

He scheduled an interview with the pharmaceutical company he met yesterday for tomorrow, and he's going to visit a few more companies today.

At noon, he simply bought a pizza to fill his stomach before starting his work journey.

During this time, he visited a mattress company, a toy company, and a real estate agency, but failed to reach an agreement with any of them.

He realized he had somewhat underestimated the difficulty of finding employment this year.

Realizing he was using the wrong approach to job hunting, he immediately adjusted his plan.

In recent years, the United States has been experiencing the dual pressures of stagnant growth and inflation, with a surge in unemployment and shrinking industries across the board.

Only a limited number of industries, such as insurance, secondhand goods, and entertainment, are developing against the trend.
