Brad Dorn smoothly integrated himself into their circle.
With one of our own involved, the next steps became much easier to manage.
When Donnie returned to the hotel, he saw Helen nestling on the sofa, reading a book.
"It seems like your plan worked!"
Donnie hadn't shared his plan with Helen, but she had cleverly guessed his intentions.
Donnie sat down on the sofa and said to Helen, "Pour me a glass of warm water!"
Although Donnie hadn't been drinking competitively throughout the whole process, he had still consumed quite a bit.
Helen passed the water glass that was beside her to Donnie, "I had it prepared for you already!"
After taking a sip of the hot water, Donnie truly started to feel a bit more comfortable.
At that moment, Helen sat next to Donnie, placing his head on her lap and gently massaged it, "There are two days left until the competition. You've only solved today's problem; what about the next two days?"
Enjoying the soft comfort of Helen's thighs, Donnie spoke contentedly, "Don't worry, your brother got to know Brad Dorn well tonight. I'm sure they'll continue to do so tomorrow. And let me tell you, your brother is very competitive. The woman I arranged for him today didn't give in, and you know how men are—the less they get, the more they want.
Helen shook her head helplessly, "Even if you have arranged things on Robert's end, what about Martha? I remember telling you, Martha is a very smart woman. Once Robert sobers up tomorrow, she'll definitely try to stop him."
Donnie said, "I heard your conversation today, she seems to be somewhat interested in the WRPA. Tomorrow, I'll have South Brenton accompany Martha with you. We just need to get through these few days!"
"Alright!" Helen nodded. After thinking it over, she said to Donnie, "But you can't drag this on too long. You'll have to make a decision sooner or later!"
Donnie, with his eyes closed, didn't respond to Helen's words, and a slight snoring sound emanated from him.
Seeing Donnie's reaction, Helen sighed helplessly and continued, "Even if you don't want to make a decision now, you'll have to eventually. The longer you drag this out, the more intense the backlash will be!"
Donnie continued not to respond to Helen.
The next day, Helen still went to find Martha, while Donnie, accompanied by Alice, along with Walker and Maholi, entertained Theodore Roosevelt and Eleanor Ross.
"Donnie, even though our families are related here, you can't just show up now. It's embarrassing for me!"
Theodore Roosevelt teased Donnie at the dining table.
Donnie laughed and said, "You've already said it, our families' relationship is there, so naturally I won't treat you as an outsider. It's better to take good care of the others first, then we can more happily sit down together with our own people!"
"Haha!" Theodore Roosevelt laughed heartily, and seeing his reaction, Donnie really worried that he might do something like Xu Zhisheng and shake off the hair in front of his hairline. But then he thought, at this time, there probably weren't any hairpieces, so he stopped worrying about it! New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on NovᴇlFire(.)nᴇt
"Donnie, I have already spoken to my mother about you and Alice. She's very welcoming to you coming to visit New York!"
Donnie explained, "There's been so much going on lately. Once things settle down, I will definitely come over!"
After some pleasantries, Theodore Roosevelt asked Donnie, "So, how are those cargo ships?"
The cargo ships acquired from the navy hadn't yet arrived at Atlantic City but were instead turned over to Roosevelt Shipyard for modifications, though Donnie had already gone to see them.
"Speaking of that, I really should thank you properly!" Donnie lifted his glass and said, "I didn't expect you to give me such a gift. It's something I really needed!"
Normally, if military ships were purchased from the navy, the weapons on board would have to be removed by naval personnel.
Now, the five cargo ships that Theodore Roosevelt had prepared for Donnie had indeed had their more destructive large weapons removed. However, some were left behind, which was more than enough for a merchant ship.
Theodore Roosevelt said with a smile, "I know you bought a batch of weapons from the army. What I've done is just the icing on the cake!" Your adventure continues at My Virtual Library Empire
Theodore Roosevelt was initially shocked to learn about Donnie's deal with Pan Xing, surprised at the extent of Donnie's connections with the army that allowed direct contact with General Pan Xing.
Just two days ago, Pan Xing had been officially appointed as the Army Chief of Staff, becoming the top person in the army.
But after the initial shock, Theodore Roosevelt was very happy. In his heart, Donnie was already his brother-in-law, and the better his brother-in-law's business went, the more beneficial it was for them.
"It was also a bit of luck; during the war, I had served as a soldier under Marshall for some time, and through him, I got to know General Pan Xing!"
Donnie said modestly.
"Marshall?" Theodore Roosevelt simply thought for a moment and then recognized the figure, "General Pan Xing's chief aide?"
Donnie nodded, "Yes, that's him!"
Theodore Roosevelt exclaimed, "I've heard that General Pan Xing thinks highly of Marshall!"
