Chapter 839: 287. Take Charge of the Cabinet_2

These people were all recruited by Donnie and Robert from Ivy League universities in the United States!

Although Donnie admits that some people’s abilities may not lie in academics, so judging whether a young person is capable should not be solely based on their education, Donnie did not have the time, nor the energy, to look for those who didn’t go to college but were capable.

The effort would not be proportional to the reward, so Donnie would rather choose those who graduated from Ivy League schools.

To avoid having too many people, Donnie divided these people into different groups, each responsible for different projects.

“Still a bit green, but good, everyone is working very hard!” Robert said with a smile.

Donnie nodded, looked at the time, and said: “Free for lunch? Shall we have lunch together?”

And the morning passed just like that!

Robert stood up, smiling, and said: “You should find someone else, I have a date at noon!”

Donnie looked at Robert teasingly: “You rascal, you’re finally planning to seriously date a girlfriend?”

Robert laughed and said, “If that idiot John can get married, why can’t I?”

John is already married, but his wedding was not grand, he only invited his family and friends, not other unrelated people!

Suddenly, Donnie thought of something, then said to Robert: “I think you can study international relations, it may be useful in the future!”

Donnie suddenly bringing up the matter stopped Robert in his tracks, who curiously asked: “Why do this?”

Donnie chuckled and said: “Didn’t you say you were going to meet a beautiful woman? Let’s talk about it some other time when you’re free!”

Robert went back to the couch, with a sycophantic smile, he said: “Women, they can only slow down my sword-drawing speed, I’m more interested in hearing your thoughts!”

Donnie looked at Robert’s ingratiating expression and said with a smile: “Alright, but you’re treating today’s lunch!”

Robert immediately took out his wallet and slapped it on the table generously, “Eat whatever you like!”

Donnie laughed heartily and picked up Robert’s wallet.

At the restaurant in Surf Hotel, Donnie elegantly ate the lobster in front of him with a knife and fork.

Yet Robert was like an ant on a hot pan, yet he didn’t dare to disturb Donnie.

“The wine is gone!”

Donnie didn’t even lift his head.

“I’ll pour it for you!” Robert, like a lackey, got up bending forward, holding a bottle of red wine in both hands to pour for Donnie.

“I want a soft drink!” Donnie then said.

“I’ll get it for you!” Robert got up immediately and went to the restaurant counter, asking the server for a bottle of cola.

“Why isn’t it cold?” Donnie said dissatisfied.

Robert stood there, took a deep breath, and then managed to force out a smile: “I’ll go get you some ice cubes!”

By the time Robert came back, Donnie suddenly said, “Now I feel like having it at room temperature!”

“Me!” Robert could no longer restrain himself and regardless of the environment, he pounced on Donnie.

Some people in the restaurant looked dissatisfied at Donnie and Robert’s frolicking and called a waiter, wanting them to ask Donnie and Robert to leave!

But when they learned of Donnie’s identity, they immediately fell silent!

After a while, Donnie and Robert returned to their seats.

“Although we have deep relations in the White House, these ties are ultimately outsiders, so in some future White House Cabinet, get into the Cabinet!”

Donnie revealed his thought.

This is America’s unique political system!

The U.S. Cabinet can be said to be the center of power in America, but its members are different from the East, where members of the cabinet need to climb up in politics step by step.

Every climb can be described as crossing a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops.

However, members of the U.S. Cabinet are directly appointed by the President of the United States, which of course has prerequisites: either a member of the president’s campaign team or an American consortium’s spokesperson in the White House!

Andrew Mellon was such an example; before becoming the United States Secretary of the Treasury, Andrew Mellon did not hold a formal government position, but still could become one of Harding’s Cabinet members.

The same applies to Albert Furr, although he also muddled through politics, before Harding became President, he was just a nobody in politics.

While in Washington, Donnie saw the influence of Andrew Mellon, Jack Morgan, and Old Rockefeller in the White House and Congress, which made Donnie even more determined to have his own spokesperson become a Cabinet member, which would serve him better!

Donnie made it sound simple, but Robert was shocked.

“To be honest, I would be delighted to enter the Cabinet, but haven’t you always wanted to groom Cameron for politics? Moreover, among our team, Fei Jackson would seem to fit the bill more, right?”

Robert asked seriously.

Donnie said: “Cameron is definitely going to enter the political arena, but his goal is Congress, not the White House. As for Fei Jackson, he’s the one to pave the way for you!”

Robert understood what Donnie meant; Fei Jackson was older than them, and he should be the first one from Donnie’s New Jersey Consortium to enter the government, followed by himself, while Cameron would start from the ground up!

“The President has time constraints, but Cabinet members don’t, so this is good!” Donnie continued.
