Rise of an Empire

Linda Johnson, Lyndon Johnson's eldest daughter, is nineteen years old this year.

No, it is already Christmas 1963. According to European habits, it should be twenty

Sitting in the car, Conrad flipped through the information about the other party.

Judging from the information, the other party's resume is quite satisfactory. He grew up in the Johnson family and attended a women's college. He has never had any scandals and has not done anything out of the ordinary.

After all, even in the 21st century, those authentic wealthy ladies would not do anything truly degrading to their family tradition.

Those women who are exposed in the news from time to time that they have changed a few men and sell meat everywhere when they have nothing to do are just fake socialites. They are still far away from the real rich families.

The girl in the photo is a girl with a hearty smile. Although her appearance is not stunning, she is of an above-average level, the kind that she can safely leave at home and not be embarrassed to take out.

Although Linda's beauty is a bit low for Conrad, she can make do with it. Otherwise, even if he offends Lyndon to death, Conrad will never be willing to do it.

Although a political marriage does not place too many requirements on the other half, it should at least be watched at home so as not to cause any upset.

Christmas is probably the busiest day for the President of the United States every year.

Because the White House is open to people from all walks of life starting at 8 o'clock in the morning. There is no complete statistics. At least 20,000 people visit the White House every Christmas. As the owners of the White House, the President and the First Lady cannot say much. to receive a quarter of them

There are more than 5,000 people. Just nodding and smiling will make your facial muscles stiff from laughter.

So Conrad really doesn’t understand why there are so many people competing for such a position that is so deceiving.

Fortunately, although the president and the first lady are busy as crazy during the day, after the White House closes at 4 p.m., they still have some time to take a vacation for themselves.

Basically, no president will spend the Christmas vacation in the White House. They will basically return to their comfortable residences. Lyndon chose his villa next to the National Opera House in Upper Manhattan for the holidays.

"Welcome, Duke Wetting, please come this way." After taking the gift from Ito Ichijo, the Linden family's butler saluted Conrad with a smile.

"Did Uncle Lyndon invite any other guests?" Conrad asked, following behind the butler.

"No, apart from the madam and the two young ladies, I only invited you, Duke Wetting." The old butler turned back with a smile, as if he had seen through everything.

During the day, thousands of people would be invited to banquets inside the White House, but Conrad didn't bother to attend those occasions to join in the fun, and sent Natasha directly.

And this meal in the evening is the real dinner.

"Conrad, Merry Christmas" followed the butler's footsteps into the main hall, and saw Lyndon Johnson and his wife standing in the hall, waiting for his arrival.

"Uncle Lyndon, Mrs. Johnson, Merry Christmas," Conrad also nodded and saluted the two couples.

Although this old fox was definitely not a good person, seeing the other person's attitude still made Conrad feel very good.

Even if the president of the other party is just a product of expediency, he is still a serious president of the United States, the leader of the most violent organization in the world. It is indeed very rare for him to be so courteous to a young man like himself.

Although he knew that the other party had an agenda, Conrad felt that this old fox was still worth getting along with.

People are like this. Sometimes you know that the other person wants to benefit from you, but the other person's attitude really makes you disgusted.

"Let me introduce to you, this is my eldest daughter Linda. Linda is about your age this year and is studying finance at Austin College." Linden pointed to the girl next to him and introduced to Conrad.

"Hello, Miss Linda." It can be seen that Miss Linda Johnson has specially dressed up today. Her fluffy wavy hair hangs below her shoulders. There is a slight blush on her fair face, but the other party does not dare to do so at all. He raised his head after hearing Linden's introduction.

"Hello, Duke Weting." Linda seemed a little embarrassed as soon as she opened her mouth, and she almost bit her tongue.

"Ahem, Linda is a little nervous. You must know that Conrad, you are now a legend in the financial industry. The professors at Linda's college are now preparing to open a new financial lecture and prepare to study your legendary story." Seeing her daughter His performance was a bit out of control, and Linden quickly started to save the situation.

"Uncle Lyndon, you're welcome. I'm just lucky." Conrad wouldn't care about such a trivial matter, not to mention that a girl with this kind of personality is easy to handle.

After all, if you are that kind of fierce and fierce person, you won't have a fight after entering the house.

"Conrad, you don't have to be modest. If you were just lucky, then all those guys in the Commerce Department should just pack up and get out." Linden generously pulled Conrad and laughed, and brought him to the dining table without leaving a trace. .

As the parent, Linden sat directly above him. As a guest, Conrad should have sat opposite him, but just now Linden pulled him directly to the first seat on the left.

Lyndon's wife sat in the first seat on the right, right across from Conrad, while Linda was placed in the second seat on the left, shoulder to shoulder with Conrad.

It is not difficult to see from the allocation of seats that Lyndon, an old fox, really understands people's hearts.

Based on Linda's performance just now, if she were to sit across from Conrad, she would definitely be nervous and make mistakes. It would be terrible if she didn't make a good first impression.

And now that her daughter is placed next to Conrad, of course she will also be nervous and make mistakes, but because Conrad's main sight needs to stay on Linden, he will not pay too much attention to the situation around him.

At a dinner party, everyone was worried. Linda was a little nervous around Conrad, but fortunately, her good upbringing meant that although she was nervous, no funny things like breaking plates and bowls happened.

After dinner, at Lyndon's signal, Conrad had no choice but to take Linda for a walk in the garden.

To be honest, he really felt that this situation was very silly. It was freezing to death in this winter, so why take a walk?

Besides, who else doesn't know what kind of medicine you are selling in the gourd? Why is it so troublesome? Let's meet in person to discuss the terms of cooperation and find a good day to get married. Isn't it so complicated?

Anyway, it's just a political marriage. As long as he agrees and Lyndon agrees, Linda's opinion, to be honest, doesn't really matter.
