The White House chief of staff knew very well that when Ai Kerry had already arrived in Los Angeles before and was in the same hotel as Li Mu, it was basically impossible to stop him from meeting Li Mu. Now, if you send someone or rush over to him personally, you will inevitably fall behind Kerry when you meet with Li Mu on behalf of the president, so it is too late.

In his opinion, the only way at the moment is to find a way to shorten the meeting time between the two, and letting Li Mu's plane take off early is a good solution.

According to his analysis, Li Mu actually didn't want to meet Kerry very much, or he was not very interested in Kerry, otherwise he would not have compressed it so urgently, and only left Kerry with more than an hour window. So in this case, as long as he brought a little urgency to Li Mu's itinerary, he would definitely choose to compress the time he met Kerry.

To be on the safe side, the chief of staff decided to let Li Mu's plane take off early, and then send him a signal that either takes off early or delays at least one day, forcing him to fly away early.

If Li Mu flew ahead of time, his time with Kerry would be compressed to a point that it might be only ten minutes or even shorter. In such a short time, it would be difficult for Kerry to reach in-depth cooperation with Li Mu. In this way, Li Mu would fly back to China from Los Angeles, and then send someone to secretly fly from Washington to China. In this way, his side would be able to rush in front of Kerry and meet Li Mu in China.

If Li Mu doesn't fly today, he will set off for Los Angeles immediately. Even if Kerry first meets Li Mu, it doesn't matter. He will talk to Li Mu on behalf of the president. In the end, there is a way to attract Li Mu.

Li Mu had just finished his discussion with the main creators and members of the Flying Tigers, and discussed Kerry with Wei Lan in the lounge next door. Li Mu said: "Kerry is now upstairs. I promised Spielberg to meet him and chat for about an hour. Do you want to meet him with me later?"

Wei Lan said: "It's not appropriate for such a big person to come to see you so far, is it right for me to get involved?"

Li Mu waved his hand: "There is nothing wrong. It's because he asks me, not because I ask him. Even if he wants to run for president, it has nothing to do with us, let alone he is the one with the least chance of winning."

Wei Lan smiled and said, "Then I will be your personal assistant and serve tea and water next to you."

As he was talking, Li Ziwei knocked on the door and saw Li Mu and Wei Lan together, so she closed the door and said, "Mr. Li, Sister Wei, the captain just called and said that the airport informed him that there was flow control tonight. The airport gave us two choices, either take off at 7 o'clock today or fly again at 8:30 tomorrow night."

Li Mu frowned and asked subconsciously: "The United States also engages in flow control?"

China often has flow control. Li Mu was used to it in his previous life, but he rarely heard that the US airports would have flow control, and the flow control will last until tomorrow night, which is really outrageous.

Li Ziwei said: "The captain is not very understandable, but this is the requirement of the airport. It may have something to do with our business aircraft and the route resources to give way to civil aviation passenger aircraft, so he asked me to ask you what you mean. If you want to fly today, then you should be ready to go to the airport now. If you want to fly tomorrow, I will arrange for a renewal."

Li Mu said: "You say to the captain and say I will give him a final reply at half past five and ask him to ask if it is still time."

"Okay." Li Ziwei nodded and said, "Mr. Li, Sister Wei, you guys chat first, I'm out."

As soon as Li Ziwei left, Wei Lan said to Li Mu: "Suddenly, the flow control seems a bit abnormal at this time."

Li Mu said: "Yes, it's a good flow control. Is there a big man coming to Los Angeles? But this is not reasonable. No matter how big a big man comes, it's impossible to keep flow control until tomorrow."

Wei Lan speculated: "I always feel that this flow control is for you."

"Is that true?" Li Mu just felt the flow control was surprised, but he didn't think about it. After all, he felt that the US airport flow control had anything to do with him.

Wei Lan said at this time: "Look, first of all, it was a good flow control, and it was extremely abnormal in itself. If something happened abnormal, there would be something wrong. I think there was something about this matter."

Li Mu nodded: "It makes sense."

Wei Lan continued, "You are going to meet Kerry at five o'clock, but now there are only more than ten minutes left. Suddenly, the flow control will ask you to take off at seven o'clock, which basically forces you to hurry up and prepare to go to the airport."

Li Mu nodded again and said, "What do you mean is that someone doesn't want me to meet Kerry, or doesn't want me to have a deep chat with Kerry?"

"That's right." Wei Lan analyzed: "If you decide to take off at 7 o'clock, then you can't talk about anything important with Kerry. If Kerry wants you to support his campaign, such a big thing will be difficult to solve in a very short time. The basic rules for big things are like a large portion of food, just like a large portion of food must take longer to finish. Once there is not enough time, the problem will not be solved."

Li Mu frowned and thought for a while, and asked her: "Is it the White House that is stopping me from meeting Kerry?"

"It should be." Wei Lan said: "Only they have this motivation, and only they have the ability to figure out Kerry's whereabouts."

Li Mu couldn't help but smile and said, "This situation is a bit big. It seems that they are really worried that I will get involved."

Wei Lan nodded and said, "It must be that's what it means. The possibility of re-election of the Bush administration is relatively high, so they may not necessarily cooperate with you, but they must not want to see you cooperate with Kerry, block you from meeting Kerry, or minimize the possibility of you two reaching cooperation today. This should be the most urgent goal they want to achieve."

Li Mu shrugged and said, "Since they want me to leave, we won't leave today. I will have a long talk with Kerry to see what they will react."

"Don't!" Wei Lan hurriedly stopped him: "Don't provoke the White House at this time, and don't let the White House feel your hostility, otherwise if you really get targeted, it will inevitably cause trouble."

Li Mu asked Wei Lan: "What do you think is the best way now?"

Wei Lan smiled and said, "The best way is to be good at everything. The White House is afraid that you will be in a relationship with Kerry now. Since this is the case, you might as well show your indifference and indifferentness towards Kerry, so we will take off on time at 7 o'clock, but you can still fight for more than ten or twenty minutes to meet Kerry. Even if you cannot reach a certain intention of cooperation with Kerry during this period, showing goodwill is enough. When you talk to Kerry privately, you can leave with him a more private contact information, such as the yy number, and let him apply for a small account to add you, so that he can feel your sincerity. It is just that you have to leave as soon as possible. In this way, it will give Kerry enough hope."
