Chapter 48 Return
"Your Excellency, Mr. Prime Minister, today, our preliminary inspection is coming to an end. Thank you for allowing us to spend two very pleasant days in Kingston. However, there are still some questions that I would like to ask. For example, if our summer The summit is really going to launch a simulated government affairs activity for American high school students as proposed by the two, how much do we need to pay to get the two or your country to cooperate with us?"
Kingston Government Building, a reception room that is even simpler than the oldest meeting room in Lincoln High School, Tommy Hawke asked the two leaders of this mini country.
Seeing Tommy Hawk looking at him first, the sixty-nine-year-old Governor Allen Lewis sat on the sofa and laughed. Instead of speaking, he exaggeratedly pointed at Prime Minister Madoff-Compton next to him, reminding Tom Mi, he is only the head of state in name and etiquette, and Madouf next to him is in charge of specific affairs.
"Mr. Prime Minister?" Following his movements, Tommy turned his attention to Prime Minister Madouf.
Madouf-Compton was expressionless, as if he was in deep thought. It took him a few seconds before he spoke: "I'm still thinking about it, maybe I need to look it up in a dictionary to understand better."
"Need a dictionary to explain what a summer summit is?" Dennis asked beside him.
Madouf-Compton shook his head: "No, what is a high school student."
This answer made the four Yankees stunned. Seeing the dull expressions of the four, Madouf laughed happily. Surprise them!"
Then he proudly said to Tommy Hawke: "I know, on American talk shows, black performers often use this technique..."
"I know, of course I know, Mr. Prime Minister, but I didn't expect the leader of a country to use this kind of technique." Tommy Hawke finally realized that the two old black men in front of him just sang and sang and opened fire with the four of them. joke.
Madouf laughed before saying: "No payment is required. You are helping us to let more people know about this country, let those people come here to visit, travel, and learn about our history. Why should we accept payment?"
"I think so too." Allen Lewis also looked at the four people: "This is a good thing for St. Vincent."
Surprised and grateful expressions appeared on the faces of the other three, but Tommy Hawk frowned immediately: "No need to pay? Why?"
"In the United States, after your president or foreign minister takes office, do you need to pay the country a sum of money or receive a salary from the country on a monthly basis?" Madouf asked with a puzzled face.
Tommy Hawke nodded: "There is no doubt, of course... to receive a salary."
"Children, we are in line with Americans. We are also human beings, not aliens, and obey the normal rules of human beings. So there is no need for compensation, I am not kidding, and we will pay salaries for American high school students who are employed, of course, Not too much, only a national coin of commemorative significance, and you may not even be able to buy a bunch of bananas." Madouf said to Tommy.
Principal Susan Ryan, who was sitting next to him and never spoke, looked at Tommy, who was frowning, and reminded him softly: "However, this is on the premise that you agree to help our middle school raise funds. Tommy Hawk Don't forget what you promised, sir."
"Of course I won't forget." Tommy Hawke promised Susan with a perfunctory smile, then lowered his head in silence for a moment, and looked at Prime Minister Madouf: "Mr Prime Minister, can we first sign a contract of intent to finalize the general framework? Regarding this summer camp, I hope everything is formal, not a simple verbal agreement."
"Of course there is no problem. The last time I signed a contract was a year ago. Draw up the contract, son. You can draw up the contract. I know that the contract must be abided by when it is signed. Don't worry, we won't ask for compensation." Madouf told Tommy- Hawk said seriously.
Seeing Tommy Hawk's performance, Otilia frowned slightly, while Dennis and Pam were a little surprised. Although their expressions were different, they obviously felt that Tommy's performance at the moment was a bit too much, and his current performance was clearly right. The two old men in front of them were very distrustful.
"Of course." Madouf still looked friendly and nodded to Tommy: "You are right, Tommy, the leader must have the spirit of contract."
…
It wasn’t until the prime minister who was pushing a bicycle in this country was waving his hands off, and got on the return plane without anyone else, that Otilia said to Tommy who was still reading the contract of intent next to him:
"Tommy, I think your previous questions in the conference room were very rude, what's wrong with you, you are acting completely abnormal."
"Miss Farrell, I can tell you what is normal. It's like the plane we are flying at this time. The price is low, so there is no airport service, and even basic meals will not be provided during the flight. Only the cup of hard food in front of me Drink the coffee to death, because the airline will not let itself lose money in business, this is called normal." Tommy Hawke stared fixedly at the contract in his hand, then raised his hand and gestured to Otilia:
"It's not normal, it's your godfather, and Prime Minister Madouf, they paid far less than what they gained. For example, now I have a question. Your godfather is an alumnus of Princeton and the director of public education in Rhode Island. Why? Didn't a letter of recommendation get you into Princeton?"
Otilia thought for a while, and gave her own answer: "I think it might be that he was only a state congressman at that time, and he hadn't been appointed by the governor as the director of public education?"
"If he really loves you as shown in this incident, he can definitely send you to Princeton back then. What is the difference between you a few years ago and you now? Think about it. Miss Riel." Tommy Hawke shook his head affirmatively, and continued to ask.
Otilia turned her eyes left and right a few times, indicating that she was thinking, and then looked at Tommy, shaking her head blankly.
"Because Miss Farrell now has an American youth student leader headed by Dennis Hobbs." Dennis Hobbs turned around from the front row, took off the blindfold and said.
"Dennis, sit down obediently during the flight, don't let me remind you a second time." Otilia didn't care about Dennis's teasing, but reminded Dennis to pay attention to safety.
Tommy Hawk stared at Dennis's face, thoughtful: "I think what Dennis said just now makes sense."
"Yeah, I know it's because we..."
Otilia stared at Dennis and said, "Sit down, Dennis, don't be sentimental."
Seeing Ottilia's serious face, Dennis sat back in his seat, but then turned around: "As Pam's best friend, I want to remind you, Mr. Farrell, maybe you need to care about the students' spirits state?"
"What's wrong with Pam?" Otilia heard what Dennis said, and wanted to get up and look at Pam who was sitting in the row with Dennis.
"Pam is fine, that guy is sleeping soundly holding a picture of Carly." Dennis discouraged Otilia's behavior: "I want to say that Pam has a girlfriend, and as his best friend, I would have I should congratulate him, but in fact, my conscience keeps reminding me that I can't do it, and I may need psychological counseling."
Tommy Hawk next to him slowly looked at Ottilia, and repeated to himself: "What Dennis said makes sense."
