    "Smile, remember to smile. No matter what happens, you have to remember that our family will be with you. Failure is okay, you know?" When she was about to go out in the morning, her mother Hu Shuying hugged Wang Lei  shoulder, earnestly warned.

    "Thank you, Mom!" Wang Lei kissed his mother twice on the face and said with a smile.

    He is very grateful to his family for their support, but these words feel very harsh in his ears.

    I don¡¯t want to fail, I must win! Wang Lei reluctantly encouraged himself in his heart, then opened the door and walked out.

    Outside, the morning light illuminates the streets of Braddock. The tall sycamore branches on the roadside are leafy, the crowns of the trees are dark and entangled with each other - they look like they lack pruning.  An L-shaped old house is covered with green ivy, and even the doors and windows are hidden inside. This is an abandoned house. Its owner has left here long ago and is eager to sell the house.  , so as not to see its name on the tax stamps received every year.

    However, no one wants to buy. The house is nice, but if this place is destined to become a village, who will buy a house here?  Rich people go back to the mountains to build houses, like falling water villas.

    Wang Lei worked out early with his partners, and then continued to encourage them. Several more partners were added to his youth work team. They were all enthusiastic and motivated, but their work was more difficult than Hawke's women's team.  Many children under the age of 18 go to campaign for a boy who has just turned 18, and the results are bound to be bad.

    There are very few young people in their twenties in Braddock. They all go to college outside and will basically never come back after graduation. Braddock lacks attractive job opportunities.

    In the morning, Wang Lei took the time to visit several residents on the street and told them that he was going to run for office. He said countless times: "The election is not about age. You can take a look at my policy platform. I promise,  It will make a difference"

    "Oh, okay, you said it very well, but why do I feel that it won't appear in this world? Haha, everyone is for me and I am for everyone. It's really good, but I don't think it will happen.  It can be achieved," the middle-aged man with a full beard laughed and shook his head as if he was hearing a joke.

    "No, no, no, this is possible. We have established clubs and volunteer associations" Wang Lei patiently explained to him the specific actions and progress, but it was obvious that the other party did not want to hear it: "Oh, there are only a few dozen people.  , and why didn¡¯t I see you helping me? My job is terrible and my wife ran away"

    Wang Lei quickly said: "Do you have any questions? We can help you!"

    "Oh, go away, you are all liars, I don't need your help." The other party suddenly seemed to be in a bad mood, roughly pushed Wang Lei away, and hurried away angrily.

    Wang Lei followed him for a while and kept shouting: "Hey, I'm serious, we have many enthusiastic members who can help you plan your career and coordinate family disputes so that you can  Your life will get better, you can trust us"

    ¡°Go away, or I¡¯ll beat you up!¡± The man turned around, glared at Wang Lei viciously, and shouted loudly.

    Wang Lei spread his hands, he didn't want to give up, but looking at the situation, if he continued, a fight would probably break out, so he would have to find another opportunity.

    "I can do it, I really can, just give me time!" Wang Lei clenched his fists with both hands, so hard that his knuckles turned a little white.  They already have more than thirty volunteers, and new members join every day. As long as you give him time, the volunteer team will continue to grow, allowing every Braddock to benefit from it.

    However, he doesn't have much time. The voting day will be in two weeks. Braddock's town mayor election is special. It is not put together with the statutory voting days in the United States. It is in August. This is not  Common.

    Of course, local elections, especially those in small towns like Braddock, do not have a unified schedule. Most occur before and after statutory voting days, and there are local elections held almost every month or even every day.

    At nine o'clock in the morning, Wang Lei came to the library. Today was his day to do volunteer work. Although Emily said she could help take care of it, Wang Lei still came. He didn't want to delay his long-term job because of the election.  Long hours of voluntary work was not what he wanted.

    At ten o'clock, the "I Love Braddock" Volunteer Association met in the activity room on the second floor of the library. Wang Lei took the time to attend and gave a short campaign speech.  This is an association that he initiated and personally participated in organizing. Everyone is very fond of him and has many second- and third-level supporters.

    Wang Lei also developed several campaign volunteers.??, but most people are just volunteers, not campaign volunteers. This is a public organization, not an election campaign organization, and they cannot abolish public service for personal reasons.

    What¡¯s more, among these people, there are very few who actually support his candidacy and serve as mayor.

    "Rex, we all support you, but even if you don't become the mayor, our organization can still operate normally. We can do many things that the mayor can't" Fat Walker is almost more than two feet tall.  This is Wang Lei, he pulled Wang Lei enthusiastically and said.

    "You're right, we don't care about Mayor Laushizi, haha!" Eric opened his big mouth, and his voice could be heard by almost everyone in Braddock.

    "Oh, I know! Even if I don't become the mayor, I will still participate in everyone's activities, but I will be elected. Hawke can't bring us a better tomorrow!" Wang Lei frowned sadly,  He may not bother competing with Hawke to see who has more money, but Hawke's overwhelming and omnipresent publicity will still give everyone a psychological hint, as if he has a chance to win, while Wang Lei is unknown.

    Even his base camp has this attitude, how can he expect other residents?

    Wang Lei felt that he had fallen into the vast ocean created by Hawke. All he could see was Hawke's campaign information, but it was difficult for his own voice to be heard. It gave people the feeling that they were not in the same weight class at all.  opponent.

    The content that can be written on the flyer is very limited, and the persuasiveness is also very poor. Many people heard that Wang Lei was only 18 years old and a high school student, and they immediately thought it was a joke. No matter how beautiful the flyer was, they would not believe it.

    Wang Lei also did not have enough manpower to do ideological work for every resident. They could only explain as much as possible. More than a week had passed, and they had only contacted more than 300 people. Even if there were still two weeks, even if  They have gone through all the voters, but there will probably still be very few people who can really be convinced and will support them.

    Wang Lei doesn¡¯t want to give in, he wants to continue fighting.

    "Rex, you are a little brat who hasn't left school yet. Your parents have to worry about everything you eat, wear, and use every day. You can't control our lives. You should go back obediently.  Let's play games in school!" When Wang Lei was lobbying, he was even blocked in the street by Hawke's women's brigade. They were always talking about every resident in the town saying good things about Hawke and Wang Lei.  Bad words about Ray.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??

    "Aunt Riley, please pay attention to your words, otherwise, I can sue you and my competitors for age discrimination!" Wang Lei couldn't stand it anymore. This was not the first time he was harassed. These women's brigade members seemed to  Targeting him specifically, they tried their best to stuff promotional materials into his mailbox. The mailbox was filled to the brim every day, and they chased him all over the streets, often competing with him for lobbying targets.

    They have no regard for image at all and have no grace, but Wang Lei can't.

    But he couldn't bear it anymore: "Aunt Laili, I must say that I actually don't want to use my youth as a capital - I didn't intend to take advantage of my opponent's rigid thinking and moodiness in old age for political purposes.  "

    "Haha!" The residents who were blocked there laughed immediately. This counterattack was beautiful, humorous but not crude, but full of aggression.

    "Yeah, what can you bring to Braddock? Are you as sluggish as you, constantly heading towards death?" The emotional Emily also sprang out from behind Wang Lei, angrily spraying spit at these women.  .
