Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After his 18th birthday, Wang Lei will be an adult. From then on, he will have the right to vote and hold government office as stipulated by law. He will also become a person with full capacity to make decisions about all his actions and bear corresponding responsibilities.  responsibility.

    Before this day, he is still a minor and must accept parental supervision.

    Rome couldn't be built in a day, and minors can't mature in a day. The dividing line of the eighteenth birthday is more of a legal significance, and it does not mean that the ability and mind of the eighteen-year-old are the same as those of twenty or thirty.  Year-old people are the same.

    In the eyes of others, the eighteen-year-old Wang Lei is still an immature child, including today¡¯s guests. They affirmed some of Wang Lei¡¯s views, his sincerity and hard work, and helped them solve problems. Even he  His performance is also very good, but they are not sure that Wang Lei can be qualified as the mayor of the town.

    As for leading Braddock out of the predicament, that is a myth, even if Clinton comes.

    Wang Lei also knows that to change everyone¡¯s opinions and their ¡°discrimination¡± against age, it¡¯s not enough to just say it with words, it must be proven with actions.

    "However, "speaking" will not be without its effect. Speech is the most magical and can confuse people's hearts.  Historically, those famous speeches can be passed down for hundreds of years and are talked about by everyone.  Lincoln's speech at Gettysburg inspired the spirit of Americans and directly announced the demise of his opponents.

    Wang Lei can recite every sentence of Lincoln's speech. "Eighty-seven years ago, our forefathers created a new country on this continent. It was conceived in freedom and pursued the principle that all men are created equal."  We are here to make the utmost determination not to let these dead sacrifices be in vain; we will give the country a new life of freedom under the blessing of God, and make this government of the people, by the people, and for the people last forever."

    And Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream", "I have a dream that one day this nation will stand up and truly live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident: That man shall live  And equality'.

    For today's fundraising dinner, Wang Lei made full preparations. He even had the pain to use up a politician's badge that he had just brightened up. He got it after arguing with Hawke in the medical center. He changed to a junior one.  The "halo of speech",

    "After the "Speech Halo" is turned on, his speech effect can be increased and can be used three times in total.

    There were a little few people here tonight, so the scope of influence of the speech was destined to be very limited, but Wang Lei decided to use a "speech halo".

    "The speech halo" can increase the effect of the speech, but it cannot immediately improve his speech level, as well as his on-the-spot performance. Looking at everyone's eager eyes, Wang Lei suddenly felt a little nervous.

    Wang Lei likes to give speeches, no matter what form or occasion, but he has never encountered this situation before.

    Pressure, disappointment, nervousnessthese negative emotions made him look very embarrassed, and he changed his standing position uneasily.

    "Everyone, please believe me, I won't mess things up" He kept telling himself, don't be nervous, there is nothing to be nervous about. He gave a speech in school and faced hundreds of people. There was only a small window in front of him.  The scene is a piece of cake.  However, the meaning of today is indeed different. This is his coming-of-age ceremony and his first formal campaign speech. He will embark on the road to politics, so he must behave better and strive for perfection!

    "I won't mess it up, I definitely won't" Wang Lei had already drafted the speech for the evening, but he actually forgot the words. What's next?  He raised his hand and put it down again, but still couldn't remember.

    "Rex" Emily crossed her hands and held her smooth chin. She sensitively noticed that something was wrong with Wang Lei's performance. He was too nervous. The pressure he had to bear on the adult stage was different from the pressure in school.  It's really different.

    This is really too bad! Emily is very anxious. She knows that Wang Lei attaches great importance to today's speech, so he seems nervous. If he messes up, he will be very, very disappointed, even lose confidence, and become depressed.

    Emily was also nervous. She had to find a way to make Wang Lei relax and stop thinking so much, but at this time, she couldn't do anything.  Yes, she couldn't do anything. She hated herself a little. She couldn't help normally, but couldn't do it at this critical moment?

    Give it your all! Emily suddenly stamped her feet, raised her arms high, and waved her head twice: "Rex, we believe in you! You are smarter than those politicians, you are going to Harvard, you  I like to eat chili the most, it can make you energetic and aphrodisiac"

    Emily shouted loudly, but she didn't know what she was shouting.

    "Oh, yes, I'm better than thoseCustomers are smarter" Wang Lei suddenly wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in. Oh my God, Emily really dared to say anything, but he quickly understood that Emily wanted to help him.

    Wang Lei seemed to have caught something, and an ugly smile appeared on his face: "Yes, don't newspapers often say that officials are all as stupid as pigs? I am very sure that my IQ is definitely that much better than pigs.  A little bit¡­¡­"

    "Hahaha" The guest and Luca burst into laughter. Fortunately, they didn't eat anything at this time, otherwise they would have to spray it off.

    Only Brady and Donna looked a little ugly, while Hu Shuying and Wang Jiaming also looked embarrassed.

    After reacting, Emily covered her face with her hands and was about to squat down to look for a crack in the ground. Halfway through the squat, she suddenly stood up again and took her hands away. She blushed with shame and forced herself to raise her head and look at Wang in front of her.  thunder.

    Emily! Wang Lei suddenly felt sad. It was his stupidity that embarrassed Emily. He could no longer let the girl down.

    Wang Lei took a long breath, then nodded to Emily, with a forced but obvious smile on his face: "Of course, I also know very well that just being a little better than a pig is not enough  Braddock is getting better, I need to be a little smarter, and"

    Wang Lei tried to resolve the embarrassment just now by comparing pigs with politicians. Such self-deprecation will obviously not damage his image, but will make people discover his humor.

    The laws in the United States are trivial and strict. If you satirize others, you may be sued in court for defamation. However, this article does not apply to politicians. You can scold those who are officials, including the President of the United States.

    If you want to choose the most scolded person in the United States right now, it would definitely be the current President Clinton, and then his very active first lady, Hillary Clinton.

    Everyone laughed kindly, and Wang Lei gradually found some feeling. He extended his palms to everyone, and then said: "With everyone's strength, I am sure that building Braddock will not be my job alone. Everyone will do it."  Help me, and I will rely on everyone. As long as we unite, we will definitely make Braddock's tomorrow better, definitely!"

    "So, if I can be elected as the mayor of Braddock, the first item of my policy agenda is to revive the community life of Braddock and let all people participate in the construction of Braddock  "Wang Lei began to elaborate on his policy agenda.

    This was the first time he gave a complete explanation. He thought about this part many times. Every detail was deeply engraved in his mind, and his speech gradually became more and more fluent.

    "Oh, great, we all support you!" Eric's big mouth shouted and clapped his hands hard.

    Like most people here, he was attracted by Wang Lei's "community theory". They did not think that Wang Lei could be qualified to serve as Braddock's mayor. It was impossible for him to defeat the wealthy and experienced Hawke.  .

    The speech just now is proof that Wang Lei has talent, ideas, passion and drive, but it is obvious that he has never experienced such a scene and lacks experience, which is fatal.

    They only hope that Wang Lei¡¯s vitality can bring new things to the town, and that the volunteer organizations, community clubs, etc. he advocates can be successfully realized and help everyone.

    "Yes, as Braddocks, we have a duty to do so!" Brady and others also nodded in agreement, and the applause finally broke out. Wang Lei's face showed a relaxed smile for the first time, feeling relieved.
