After waiting ten minutes, I got a reply from the secretary.

At noon lunch time, Gerrard brought an envelope to the restaurant where the volunteers had lunch.

The itinerary of the volunteers in the United States at this time is very different from the future.

Basically, from Christmas to before April of the following year, they usually gather in Washington, where various committees hold closed-door meetings to discuss and settle many things.

Only after the spring can they return to work in their own states and districts and win voters.

The advantage of this is that the speed of solving the problem will not be too slow, and whether it is an elephant or a donkey, or even the righteous members of the same faction, they have been getting along for a long time.

Even if it's just playing golf and drinking beer, there are time and opportunities to increase understanding.

Once a personal relationship is established, there will be more opportunities to make direct calls when there are differences and problems.

After all, many things can be solved by face-to-face communication. The division between elephants and donkeys will not be as great as in the future.

Gerrard swept his gaze several times and found Francis Wood, who was having a meal with his head down. He then assuredly ordered a lunch, and then walked directly over.

Asked, "Can I sit here?"

Francis raised his head and frowned when he saw that it was a volunteer from New York.

I have only been a rookie for a year and 3 months. Although he will not be underestimated because of his voting rights, he will be restricted by the party whip and senior committee members.

Also, no one knows whether these rookies who have not spent their two-year tenure will be elected again after the two-year tenure ends, so it is true that they are not taken seriously.

Now that I am a veteran of the 8th New York City Volunteer, I actually found myself directly, and after thinking about it, I knew it was troublesome.

"Sit down, Mr. Sanders, this is the first time we have met alone."

Gerald Sanders smiled slightly, regardless of whether Francis's words were dissatisfied or not.

Before sitting down with a knife and fork, he took Li Changheng's letter from his suit pocket and placed it on the dining table.

"I suggest you take a look."

Francis silently looked at Gerald who picked up a knife and fork and ate a fruit salad.

And Gerrard also seemed to have nothing to do with this letter. It took ten minutes to finish eating before he smiled and looked at Francis, who had been hesitating.

The two were silent again for 5 or 6 minutes. Gerrard smiled and shook his head, "You missed a very good opportunity."

But when he reached out, he wanted to get the envelope back. Francis slammed his hand on the envelope first, then stared at him and asked, "You know what principles we have to follow, right?"

"Humph", Gerald looked at the 31-year-old man in front of him who was elected as a volunteer with contempt. "When I was a volunteer, you were still in middle school, kid."

Watching Gerrard leave, Francis was relieved.

If the letter is not taken away, it means that Gerald knows that the letter is okay, and he is not worried that it will be handled.

I picked up the envelope and looked at it, and I saw that the envelope had been opened long ago.

After taking out the envelope, Francis wrinkled his head deeper as he looked at it.

Judging from the content of the letter, it is just a test report of Nanka Orange as a large customer who purchases 600 tons of Panda Restaurant every year.

The indicators of pesticides on the report are shown in red, and needless to say, they must exceed the standards.

On the second page, the sweetness, moisture and price are compared with Spanish and California oranges.

What's more, the whole report didn't mention whether the oranges from Spain and California also exceeded the pesticide standards.

Francis knew without thinking that this report was warning himself.

Moreover, what makes him unable to fight back is that if the data is leaked, the first wave of media reports will not care whether California and Spain also have pesticide problems.

As for whether there will be a second wave of reports, Francis will know for a little bit that orange farmers and volunteers in California will definitely be public relations media.

Then, at the beginning of the Spring Festival, there was no time to fight the pesticides, and the testing agency was secretly secured.

Even as Francis himself knows, the several institutions that can detect oranges in the United States are located in California and South Carolina.

Moreover, this matter has long been no secret in the upper echelons of the United States.

After all, even the major pharmaceutical companies in the United States have established their own testing agencies and even persuaded the US to fund their testing agencies for more than 30 years.

Even the largest seed and agricultural scientific research company in the U.S. actually recognized it and promoted the phrase ‘synthetic substances equal to natural substances’ to the entire U.S.

To really make Americans pay attention to food safety, it will take 7 or 8 years to discover a certain chemical additive used to fatten up cattle and use it on a large scale.

After causing obesity in a large number of people, reducing children's intelligence and causing cancer, it took more than ten years to slowly establish a perfect mechanism.

But there is still a problem here. Even if companies such as Du Tien are found to have problems with their products, they still have relationships and money that drag the lawsuit for more than ten years.

Until they invented substitutes, they stopped producing old ones.

So not to mention whether Francis has the guts to lift the table, but what makes him helpless is that even if he desperately pulls Spain ~lightnovelpub.net~ and even California oranges into the water.

Nor will it change the situation in which the sales of South Carolina oranges will definitely plummet this year.

damn it.

Francis wanted to slap himself.

Annoyed and regretted, why didn't he think about it, and offended the super rich young man.

The American Gray Hand Party and the Truck Drivers Guild made him helpless again.

I can't afford to offend here, and I can't afford to offend there.

After forcing himself to calm down, Francis suddenly discovered that the Grays could indeed affect the sales of oranges.

After all, Florida and Texas occupy the 6th and 7th floor market share.

But no matter how great their energy is, they are far from being unscrupulous.

Under pressure and constraints from all parties, at most, about 30% of the shares of the 6th and 7th tiers will be affected.

But on Henry Lee's side, one shot was to destroy the entire orange market in South Carolina.

There are also California orange farmers and volunteers who are already strong.

In other words, Henry Lee doesn't need to come forward himself, some people are willing to jump out and step on the entire South Carolina oranges in the mud.

He also sent his handle directly to Gerald Sanders.

Even if I remind the orange farmers in South Carolina that they no longer use so many pesticides above the standard.

But this not only takes time, but some orange farmers who are trying to save costs will not care about his reminders before there are really big problems.

Fortunately, the other party gives the letter to himself, which means that there is still talk about everything.

Since there are talks, it is nothing more than going over there, which is more beneficial to oneself.

Thinking of this, Francis couldn't take care of his unfinished lunch.

Tuck the letter and envelope in your pocket, and walk quickly to Gerald Sanders' office.
