America 1919-Chapter 1110 - 379, Washington’s Gunshots_2

"I don’t care if it’s federal or not!" Trey Layman expressed his loyalty to Edgar Hoover: "All I know is that everything I have now is given by you, Mr. Hoover, so I will only do things that benefit you!"

Edgar Hoover revealed a satisfied smile and said: "Remember to be careful, Donnie is always surrounded by bodyguards, those people are battle-hardened soldiers from the battlefield, very alert!"

Trey Layman nodded and said: "I understand!"

Just when Edgar Hoover was about to leave, Trey Layman suddenly spoke: "Mr. Hoover, about what I mentioned to you before, expanding my business to other districts?"

Edgar Hoover returned to the sofa and chuckled softly: "Once this matter is completed, the benefits you will receive are unimaginable!"

Trey Layman spoke with delight: "Thank you, Mr. Hoover, rest assured, I will perfectly accomplish what you have entrusted to me!"

Edgar Hoover instructed Trey Layman: "Remember, without my further orders, there should be nothing beyond tracking!"

"Understood!"

.

In the evening, Donnie drove into the White House under the escort of the motorcade.

Led by the chief stewards of the White House, Donnie arrived at the White House banquet hall!

Here, the lights were bright, and Coolidge and the others were already seated.

"Apologies for being late!"

Donnie entered slowly with a smile!

"Hahaha, a hero’s entrance is always unique!"

Coolidge laughed as he spoke.

Present were President Coolidge, Commerce Secretary Herbert Hoover, Treasurer Andrew Mellon, Chief of Staff of the Army John Hines, and several national congress members.

Coolidge had now completed the transition from Harding to himself.

Changes in Coolidge’s cabinet also occurred at this time.

During the Harding era, the Secretary of the Interior Albert Furr was now in prison, Attorney General Harry D’Agostino had resigned, and now serves as a special advisor to the Venus Consortium’s legal team, receiving an annual salary of 500,000 US Dollars, mainly responsible for Donnie’s private liquor business!

Secretary of State Charles Hughes had also resigned, currently a member of the Permanent Court of Arbitration, also serving as a special advisor to the Venus Consortium’s legal team with the same salary as Harry D’Agostino, mainly responsible for some Venus Bank businesses with the U.S. Government.

Donnie took his seat, Andrew Mellon smiled and said: "Block, you really scared us recently, but you should have told us earlier about the radium radiation hazard!"

The others nodded as they heard Andrew Mellon speak.

They had already learned about the danger of radium radiation through the newspapers, especially after seeing those photos, they all were terrified!

No one expected the harm of radium radiation to be so powerful.

"Mr. Mellon, would you have believed me if I had told you the severity of radium radiation’s danger back then?"

Donnie held his wine glass, also smiling.

After hearing Donnie speak, Andrew Mellon and the others shook their heads helplessly. Despite their trust in Donnie, they couldn’t believe such things!

"However, after this incident, we also know your capability, Donnie. Next time, if something similar happens, you must inform us!"

Andrew Mellon raised his wine glass towards Donnie from his seat!

Donnie laughed: "No problem, as long as you trust me!"

"Of course, we believe!" Everyone spoke up.

Donnie wouldn’t completely trust what these people said, but he wouldn’t think much about it either. At this time, the interests of those seated were tightly bound!

Take the issue of radium radiation hazard, for example. Even though Donnie didn’t notify them of the exact situation earlier, he still called them after receiving the accurate report from Professor Thomson.

Every person present had gained quite some benefits, more or less, from this event.

Especially Coolidge, seated at the forefront. Before Professor Thomson’s report was released, he submitted a proposal to Congress that completely banned civilian radium-containing products.

This move seemed inconsequential at the time, and it even brought Coolidge some negative impact.

Yet, with Atlantic City Post, ABC’s continuous reports on radium radiation hazards, and other media following up, Coolidge’s previous proposal was brought up again.

This led to Coolidge’s favorability among the American public skyrocketing.

Before this, when people mentioned President Coolidge, they often said he was a lucky president, as he became President of the United States without an election.

Also, he was in office during a period of rapid economic growth in the United States.

However, now, when recalling Coolidge, Americans began to give more positive evaluations!

For a political figure destined to be recorded in history, this is indeed something that brings him immense happiness.

Tonight’s banquet, for many present, was actually a celebration feast.

Donnie didn’t bring up other matters in the early stages.

But as the banquet advanced, Donnie clinked glasses with John Garner individually: "Mr. Garner, regarding our investment in Venus Bank in Texas, we hope for your assistance!"

As a member of the Democratic Party, John Garner’s attendance at the banquet was actually related to the matter Donnie mentioned!
