Miss President wants to talk to you

Then, he saw it.

William Woodin, his own name was prominently written on it!

Wow

The documents in Wu Ding's hands immediately spilled onto the ground.

"Eleanor, I, I..."

Wu Ding was already rambling incoherently. He wanted to explain, but didn't know where to begin.

What can that explain?

Did he not acquire Morgan Stanley's preferred stock?

No.

There's no point in making excuses; we acquired them ourselves, and we acquired a lot of them.

"me……"

Wu Ding stammered, and his whole demeanor visibly declined.

Eleanor didn't urge him.

He simply bent down and picked up the scattered documents one by one.

"I wasn't the Minister of Finance back then!"

Finally, Wu Ding managed to utter an answer.

"Moreover, although I received money from the Morgan Group, I never did anything for them!"

"On this point, I have a clear conscience!"

Upon hearing Woodin's repentant reply, Eleanor did not rush to respond.

He first slowly and methodically organized the scattered testimonies.

Then he slowly opened his mouth.

“I know, Minister.”

Minister?

Wu Ding suddenly looked up, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes.

Is Eleanor still calling himself minister?

He also admitted that he...

Eleanor put the organized documents back on the table.

“Minister, I’m showing you this statement not to put you on trial, nor to humiliate you.”

"On the contrary, when I found your name on the list, my first reaction was indescribable joy."

"This means that the Banking Law can proceed without any obstacles."

Eleanor's gentle tone dispelled Woodin's unease.

This is indeed his true thought, and speaking frankly at this moment will earn him sincerity in return.

When Wu Ding acquired Morgan Stanley's shares, he was not yet the Minister of Finance and had no opposition to Morgan Stanley.

Upon becoming Finance Minister, Wu Ding immediately adapted to his new role.

They began to diligently cooperate with the president's new policies, targeting those banks.

"The Banking Law" is Wu Ding's work.

Eleanor saw all of this.

He was willing to give Wu Ding a chance to prove himself.

Woody understood what Eleanor meant.

It turned out to be the case.

As long as the Banking Act can be successfully implemented, the acquisition of preferred shares can be completed smoothly.

if so.

Then Wu Ding knew what to do.

……

My thoughts drifted back to the hearing.

From the White House representative's seat, Woody looked at the crowd in the room.

The surrounding area was in complete chaos.

Shock, anger, schadenfreude...

Countless emotions intertwined.

There were some sounds, as if they were coming from a very, very far place.

"The finance minister is on the list too!"

"What right does the White House have to push for the Banking Act?"

"This is clearly a political scandal!"

Wu Ding kept his head down, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Meanwhile, Richard realized that his chance to strike back had come!

Eleanor, Eleanor, I never thought you would make such a basic mistake.

You can, of course, publish anyone's name on the list.

But the one thing they shouldn't have mentioned was Wu Ding!

He is the federal finance minister and the one who submits the Banking Act to Congress.

If he has a problem.

The authority of the Banking Law will inevitably be impacted!

Richard knew what to do.

Woodin.

Attack Wuding with all your might!

Once Wu Ding's image is brought down from its pedestal, his "Banking Law" will naturally become a joke!

With that in mind, Richard prepared to get up and launch into a long-winded speech.

However, before he could stand up,

Wu Ding had already stood up first.

The entire hearing room fell silent instantly, and everyone looked at Wu Ding.

This includes the committee chairman, Fletcher.

"Minister Wu Ding?"

"You stood up, is there something you want to say?" Fletcher asked.

Wu Ding straightened his collar.

His face still looked tired, even somewhat ashen.

But his overall aura exuded a fearless courage.

"Mr. Chairman."

Wu Ding looked at the podium and said, "Since Mr. Hopkins has called my name, I would like to request to speak."

Fletcher paused for a moment, then nodded.

"The request is reasonable."

Fletcher said, "You may speak."

Wu Ding nodded.

Then, he looked around the entire venue.

"The list is real."

The moment the first sentence was uttered, the venue erupted in chaos.

"He admitted it!?"

"The finance minister actually has a problem!"

"Then, is the bill he submitted still credible?"

Wu Ding ignored the harsh noises.

He calmly stated, "I did receive a priority subscription opportunity from Morgan Stanley before I entered the cabinet."

"This matter was not explicitly prohibited by law at the time."

"No one used this as an excuse to ask me to do anything specific for the Morgan Group."

"They just said that I was someone worth befriending, and these stocks were just a way to make friends."

Upon hearing this, some members of parliament nodded in agreement.

They faced the same explanation back then.

Since they've already said that, how can you possibly refuse?

Is it wrong to make friends?

Wu Ding's statement continued.

"I remember that Morgan Group sold me shares worth 1.8 million yuan for 150,000 yuan."
