Miss President wants to talk to you

So what do you do?

Ms. Rosef actually agreed to share this most sublime honor with you?

Looking at Eleanor's young, handsome, and energetic face, Woody's clever mind started working, and he pondered for a long time.

Finally, I came up with a reason that could convince myself.

She must be Ms. Rosef's close associate!

Not bad, kid.

How did you manage to get on the good side of this guy with long legs?

"Hello, Mr. Wu Ding!"

Eleanor had no idea what kind of nonsense Woodin was thinking.

He got straight to the point and started talking about the plan to instill confidence.

"All your concerns stem from the public's distrust of banks and even the federal government."

"But as you saw in the President's speech, she established an image that the public could absolutely trust."

"Perhaps, in the short term, we really cannot regain the public's trust in the government, especially before we have produced any results."

"But we can take it one step at a time, first by gaining the people's trust in one person!"

Oh?

Woody realized what Eleanor meant.

Could it be that...

Eleanor continued, "Next, we will have the president give a speech, addressing the entire nation directly."

"Use Ms. Rosef's personal charm to awaken the people's confidence in the Federation!"

This is what later became known as the Fireside Chats.

However, Eleanor now prefers to call it

In order to save the Federation's economy, Miss Rosef has decided to debut as an idol!

Chapter Twenty-Two: A Young Man Arrives at the White House

"Will this... work?"

Wu Ding was, after all, an old-fashioned banker, and he was simply not quite ready to grasp these trendy gadgets.

If someone had told him before that all it takes is for one person to stand up and say a few words, the pressure on the entire financial system could be reversed instantly.

Wu Ding would definitely scoff at it.

What kind of fantasy is this!

but

He is now facing Rosef.

He won the election by a landslide and just declared a tough war on the old financial system in his inaugural address.

Maybe……

Can we really believe in her charm?

Wu Ding gritted his teeth and still voiced his concerns.

After all, this relates to his historical standing, so we must be cautious.

"Mr. Eleanor, may I ask how the President intends to deliver his speech?"

Wu Ding said, "If it's just a speech to Congress or a speech in a public square, frankly speaking, the effect will probably be very limited."

“If it’s written in a newspaper, it will only be worse, as many federal citizens don’t like reading political newspapers.”

There was one thing Wu Ding didn't say.

Rosef's previous speech has likely offended various figures in the financial world.

Newspapers, on the other hand, are often closely linked to capital.

Will they fully cooperate with the president's arrangements? Won't they secretly sabotage things in some way?

I just finished scolding them, and now I need their help. Isn't that a bit much?

But what Eleanor said next took Woodin by surprise.

"We don't use any of these methods."

He said, "The president will use the radio to speak directly to the people."

"She will be on the radio explaining to the public how banks operate and what kind of help the president needs."

what! ?

Wu Ding was no stranger to radio; he had a radio at home.

Not only him, but at least six million households across the United States now have this.

This already covers one-third of the federal population.

The remaining people could mostly hear about it through radios in their neighbors' homes, pubs, and shops.

in other words

The president's voice can be heard throughout the entire federal government at the same time.

Wu Ding's breathing gradually became heavy.

He vaguely realized that he seemed to be witnessing a transformation.

A complete revolution in the way we communicate!

"I understand!"

Wu Ding's attitude changed instantly; he became exceptionally proactive.

I can't wait to leave my mark at this historic turning point.

"I will personally write the speeches for the president! I guarantee that the language will be professional enough to avoid any misunderstandings among the public."

He stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence.

Because he saw Eleanor shaking her head.

"On the contrary."

"The less professional this speech is, the better," Elino said.

"……what?"

Wu Ding was confused again.

"We don't need a perfect speech."

Eleanor explained, "What we need is a close conversation between the president and the people, so the president can't put on airs or use difficult technical terms."

"She wants to use the most accessible language, like a neighbor having a casual chat, to speak to the people!"

This statement almost overturned Wu Ding's decades-long understanding.

He frowned: "But wouldn't that weaken the president's authority?"

This is what Wu Ding is really worried about.

The president is the pinnacle of the federal elite and should be seen as the most professional figure by the public.

If you become just like an ordinary person, how can you convince others?

Seeing Wuding's reaction, Eleanor shook his head slightly in his heart.

He's definitely an old-fashioned politician; his thinking is still stuck in the old era.

At every critical juncture of an era, there is never a shortage of such people.

This is how Woody is now, and it's also how Nixon, who lost the election to Kennedy because of his unappealing appearance, was portrayed in later television promotions.

Not to mention a candidate who was defeated by his opponent using Twitter.

Times are changing.

The new world has no ships to carry old fogies like you!

"Mr. Wu Ding, you can rest assured!"

Eleanor smiled, dispelling Woodin's doubts.

"What a president needs now is not a sense of authority, but a sense of security that he can bring to the people."

"Doesn't a president who can make everyone understand how banks work, regardless of whether his language is professional or not, prove that he understands economics?"

This

Wu Ding pondered for a moment.

Although I still can't completely convince myself, Eleanor's words do make a lot of sense.

Is it really because I'm getting old? I can't understand what people like these days?

Is the White House about to become the era of these young people?

……

Finally, Wu Ding said he had no further questions and left the office.

He will go and inform bankers across the country of the president's decision to order banks to close.

Once Wu Ding left, the atmosphere in the office immediately relaxed.

Rosef could no longer maintain her tense state and collapsed onto the table with a thud.

Now everyone in the office knows the truth, so she no longer needs to hide it.
