Miss President wants to talk to you

Geller is finished, Erie County Council is finished, but that's not the most important thing.

The important thing is.

From this day forward, the name Elinor Hopkins will be known throughout the entire Federation!

Chapter Thirty-Four: Gloria and Maiceline

The first episode of "Ask the Government" has ended.

"Mr. Lyman, thank you for your hard work today."

After the show ended, Eleanor stood up and took the initiative to shake hands with Lyman.

"Not at all, you've worked hard too."

Lyman stood up and shook hands with Eleanor.

His attitude was extremely polite at this moment, and he regarded Eleanor as the person he could least afford to offend.

"I will personally follow up on the matter in Yili County to the very end!"

Lyman patted his chest and assured him, "This is no ordinary dereliction of duty; we must take strong measures!"

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Governor."

Eleanor laughed and said, "Of course, don't forget that Miss Donnelly is owed seventeen months' wages!"

"Definitely, otherwise I'm afraid I'd have to come to this show again!"

Lyman and Eleanor exchanged a smile.

Years later, in his memoir, Lyman described this memory as follows:

"You can't imagine how much Elino Hopkins has changed federal politics. Since 'The Federal Government' aired, it's like every public official has an extra pair of eyes watching them, making them never dare to let their guard down or be careless. This naturally includes me."

“I must admit that Eleanor changed me, just as he changed the world afterward.”

……

The next day, the same topic appeared on the front page of all the major federal newspapers.

"Ask the Federal Government"

The perspectives differ; some support it, some oppose it, and some simply provide an objective description of what happened last night.

Without exception, they all sold out.

Long lines formed at newsstands, a rare sight since the Great Depression.

The newspaper continued to print more copies, but demand still exceeded supply.

On every street corner, everyone is talking about "The Federal Government of Inquiry".

"Did the governor really make the call on the spot?"

"They hit him! And they even uncovered the embezzlement! Tsk tsk tsk, you didn't hear the crying yesterday..."

"It would be great if we could invite our governor to be on the show too."

Of course, some people are more concerned about Eleanor himself than the show itself.

"Eleanor Hopkins, who exactly is this guy, that he can get the governor to cooperate so much?"

"She must be one of President Rosef's confidants, otherwise she wouldn't be so confident."

"Confidant? Could it be her husband?"

……

Within the administrative systems of the federal states, this morning was unusually busy.

The phone kept ringing.

"Report on the implementation of that funding immediately! Every single one!"

"Has your county implemented these measures effectively? Have you encountered situations like those in Yili County?"

"Still not done? One more day, I'll give you one more day. If you still can't finish, you're fired!"

What happened on the show deeply shocked every federal public official.

In Hoffer's time, it was already quite remarkable that they could work step by step and not slack off at work.

But that's not possible now.

After "The Federal Government" aired, everyone realized that their previous work attitude was no longer effective.

If you slack off even a little, the public is very likely to complain, and then your boss will be invited onto the show.

Immediately afterwards, everyone suffered bad luck.

but

Those public officials couldn't really have any complaints about Eleanor.

Because everything he did last night was to ensure that the back wages owed to public officials were paid in full.

What else can be said?

Federal public officials can only have a love-hate relationship with Eleanor, while looking forward to the second episode of "Federal Government Affairs".

……

Rosef arrived at the White House office very early.

Now, everyone has accepted the fact that the president's legs have become less mobile due to the assassination attempt.

I wouldn't be too surprised to see Rosef in a wheelchair.

But for some reason, Rosef noticed today that the way people were looking at her was a little strange.

There's always an inexplicable sense of fear.

It's as if Rosef is some kind of terrible person.

"Louise, why are they looking at me like that?"

Once inside the office, Rosef couldn't help but ask, "I didn't yell at them or lose my temper."

She felt a little wronged.

I've always been nice to others, so how did things turn out like this?

Louise knew the reason, of course, and she smiled slightly.

"Because of Eleanor's show yesterday."

Louise said, "Now federal officials all think you have a special investigative system that allows you to monitor people without them noticing."

But I didn't!

"But they don't know that, and even if you say you didn't, no one will believe you."

Louise told Roseve not to be angry, "You're already the president, it's a good thing that people respect you more."

Is that right?

Rosef was skeptical.

Just then, Eleanor knocked on the door and came in.

Seeing the culprit, Rosef was furious.

"Eleanor!"

She yelled, "How did you investigate the truth about that funding? Now everyone thinks I did it!"

Louise looked over; she was also curious about how Eleanor had done it.

Eleanor, of course, had already thought of an explanation for this.

"Because I am from the Imperial State."

Eleanor said, "It's no secret that the Erie County Council has problems locally. I've known about it for a long time. The arrangement for the first episode was just to shoot arrows first and then draw the target."

That's half true and half false.

Eleanor is indeed from the Empire State, but has little to do with Erie County.

His explanation was that he heard it from a fellow villager when he was working as a construction worker in the metropolis.

Louise thought about it and felt there was no problem.

"So what are you going to do for the next episode?"

She asked, "If you can't find new topics, it will be difficult for your show to continue."

"So that's what I'm here for today too."

Eleanor took out an application and handed it to Louise.

"Ms. Louise, I request that Edgar Hoffer assist me in the next episode!"

Edgar Hoffer.

Although they share the same last name, Hoffer, they have no relation to that former president.

She is now the head of Norton's intelligence department, but she spends her days on the front lines of fighting gangs, which she finds tiresome and more eager for advancement than anyone else.

“Edgar…”

Louise thought for a moment, then her eyes lit up.

Eleanor did remind her.

Everyone now thinks the president has a secret investigative agency, but that's not actually the case.

Louise had considered actually establishing such an organization.

This will be very helpful for the implementation of the new policies.

However, Louise also understood that Congress would definitely try to sabotage this.
