Miss President wants to talk to you

“Come in,” Louise said.

The door opened, and Eleanor walked in, holding a letter in her hand.

Upon discovering that the visitor was Eleanor, Rosef immediately put on a stern face and concealed her true feelings.

However, since she doesn't usually have this aloof image, her sudden attempt at this role made her look a bit dull.

Seeing this, Eleanor couldn't help but think to himself.

What's wrong with the white hamster this time?

He could clearly sense that Rosef was very happy.

If he weren't in a wheelchair, he probably would have jumped up on the spot.

But why make such a tense expression?

"Cough cough!"

Louise coughed twice, drawing Eleanor's attention.

If he continues to stare at Rosef, Rosef's carefully constructed aloof demeanor will likely crumble on the spot.

"Eleanor, what brings you here?"

Louise looked at the letter in his hand. "What's that?"

Oh right, I came here to do something important.

"This is Wu Ding's resignation letter that he asked me to deliver."

Eleanor said, "He said he had let the president down and caused such a huge scandal."

"He has no face to see you again, nor is he qualified to continue serving the president."

"Therefore, I wish to resign from my position as Minister of Finance and hope you will find someone more suitable."

Is Wu Ding going to resign?

Louise was not surprised; Woodin was, after all, a traditional, old-fashioned politician.

After getting into a scandal, the first thing they think of is resigning and apologizing.

Ultimately, I wasn't thick-skinned enough.

but

"No!"

Louise said, "While Woodin did accept the preferred stock from Morgan Stanley, he drafted the Banking Act and brought charges against Morgan Stanley at the hearings."

"These are all undeniable achievements."

“Go tell Wu Ding that the president still trusts him and tells him to keep up the good work.”

"If he insists on resigning and leaves behind a mess, he will truly betray the president's trust."

Louise did not intend to pursue Woodin's responsibility further.

On the one hand, although Wu Ding made mistakes, he also made contributions, and his contributions should not be completely negated.

On the other hand, the old man is in his sixties this year, and he will retire after working for a few more years at most.

His health isn't very good either, and he might even pass away before Louise.

Since that's the case, it's better to maintain Wu Ding's dignity and give him a chance for a smooth retirement.

Eleanor nodded and put the resignation letter away.

"I will tell him."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

"Wait a minute!"

Louise called out to Eleanor, "Don't rush off yet, I have something to tell you."

Eleanor stopped and turned around again.

"Ms. Louise, is there anything else?"

Louise glanced helplessly at Rosef, who was still in meditation.

The other party clearly hadn't decided what kind of surprise they wanted to give Eleanor from a personal perspective.

Forget it.

Louise decided to go first.

On behalf of the president, to officially recognize Eleanor's contributions.

That's right.

Louise said, "You did very well at this hearing. Although the Banking Act has not been formally passed yet, there are no obstacles now."

"Therefore, in order to recognize your achievements, Xiao Fu strongly suggested to me that we should give you more responsibilities."

Oh?

Adding more responsibilities? Is this a promotion for me?

To be fair, Eleanor wasn't particularly excited about it.

His current position is Special Assistant to the President.

Although the position wasn't very high, it was the closest position to Rosef's, besides Louise's.

The extent of power depends on distance from the center of power.

Eleanor didn't think there was any position he could look forward to.

However, he also understood.

Power can come from both the top down and the bottom up.

Louise's involvement in various jobs was also a way for her to build up his skills and network.

Eleanor then stated on the spot:

“Serving the Union is my duty, Ms. Louise. But which aspect of that duty are you referring to?”

"Well..."

Louise stated frankly, "In fact, I don't intend to assign you a job directly, but rather give you several options and let you choose for yourself."

"Which direction do you prefer: industry, agriculture, or diplomacy?"

Which direction do you prefer?

Eleanor couldn't really say for sure; he knew that all three directions were actually quite difficult.

In terms of industry, the federal government currently has a complete overcapacity and a collapse in consumer spending, making it extremely difficult to revive industry.

The agricultural sector was completely misguided, with agricultural products piling up and costs and income not commensurate.

Farmers would rather destroy their crops than sell them.

As for diplomacy?

The federal government's diplomacy these days basically consists of others coming to borrow money or the government itself coming to collect debts.

No matter what Eleanor chooses, it's destined to be a tough job.

Since that's the case, let's just do it all at once.

“Ms. Louise, I have no choice.”

Eleanor said, "Just send me wherever the situation is most difficult and where I'm most needed."

Chapter 74: Then I'll give you a market of 100 million people.

Elinor's words immediately caught Louise's eye.

What a spirit!

The more she looked at Eleanor, the more pleasing he became to her eyes.

How can there be such a good young man?

He is capable, responsible, and handsome!

"Tsk tsk tsk," Louise couldn't help but sigh as she looked at Eleanor's face.

This person was born to be an exceptional individual!

On the other side, Rosef was also affected by Eleanor's words.

She couldn't help but clap her hands softly.

When Eleanor heard the applause, she turned around and saw Rosef immediately put on a stern face again.

What's wrong with this guy today?

Eleanor couldn't understand it at all, so she simply ignored her.

Louise said, "Eleanor, since you have this intention, I won't stop you."

"To be honest, although all three directions are difficult, the most difficult one is the industrial direction."

"Now agriculture is overseen by Agriculture Secretary Wallace, and in foreign affairs, Secretary of State Hull is doing a good job as well."

"Only in the industrial sector, to be honest, we are at a loss."

Is that right?

"Then I'll go into the industrial field."

Eleanor asked, "Why are they at a loss?"

"I just don't know where to start."

Louise sighed, "The Federation's industry is now trapped in a vicious cycle."
