    In addition to a few organizations such as the Public Library Board, more than thirty bureaus, boards, and committees of the Braddock Forest Office were housed in the town hall house, including the police station and tax collector's office.

    The employees of the town did not see the news on TV, but they quickly learned what happened at the council meeting. The new town mayor wanted to streamline government agencies and lay off half of the government employees.

    "That little brat wants to lay off us. What does he think? Does he only know how to sensationalize and please those damn media?" From their standpoint, almost everyone's first reaction is to complain.

    "Mike, I told you a long time ago that that kid is unreliable."

    ¡°Oh my God, I voted for him and he¡¯s so ungrateful to us.¡±

    They originally wanted to see Wang Lei¡¯s joke, but they didn¡¯t expect that they themselves would become the joke.

    "Are we going to watch that little kid drive us away? No, we are going to go to him and ask him why he laid us off, and why is he? He is only eighteen years old, and he doesn't understand the work we do at all.  "

    After Wang Lei answered several questions raised by the reporters, he asked them to leave the conference room on the grounds that it would affect their work. The reporters were eager to publish reports or dig up more exciting content. They asked Brady and the residents who were watching.  After asking a few questions, I left with satisfaction.

    Things are about to turn into a fierce conflict. Some people are excited, some are happy, some are worried, and some are angry.  Brady walked over and patted Wang Lei on the shoulder: "Rex, you are very courageous, but this is just the beginning. Your staff are the biggest resistance. You have to ensure the normal operation of the government, otherwise it will  It¡¯s very troublesome.¡±

    "I know, I touched their cheese, but I have to return the stolen cheese to the residents." Wang Lei nodded, he knew very well that this was just the beginning.

    "Rex, if you need anything, you can call me." Cynthia also stood up, holding a white Herm¨¨s handbag in her hand, her movements were elegant, and her soft voice always made people feel encouraged.

    Wang Lei nodded to her: "Thank you."

    Jeff spread his hands and shrugged: "Well, I hope nothing will happen. It won't be possible to open now, so I'll leave first."

    Jeff, Brady, and Cynthia left one after another, and the residents who were listening also took the opportunity to come over. Someone gave Wang Lei a thumbs up: "Rex, good job."

    Others opened their arms and gave Wang Lei a warm hug: "Don't worry, we all support you."

    Wang Lei patted his back: "Thank you, I am the mayor elected by the people, so whoever touches your cheese, I will touch his cheese."

    "Rex, you are too impulsive. You have not considered the consequences of doing this at all. You will make the town unstable." Not everyone supports Wang Lei. Some town residents only want a peaceful life. The government  It is not intuitive to them how many people are used. On the contrary, if the government operates in a chaotic manner, it may make some things more troublesome.

    Wang Lei smiled: "Sarah, Braddock is like a patient who has been ill for a long time. Without a large dose of specific medicine, it cannot be cured. As for turmoil and chaos, as long as we are united, they will not be cured."  will happen."

    "Do you think you are a doctor? You don't know anything. You don't know how hard Brooke and the others work every day. He is the breadwinner of the family. What should we do if he loses his job?" said a man in his forties.  A 20-year-old black woman rushed to Wang Lei and shouted to him.

    "Gabriella, don't worry, not every employee will lose his job. As long as he does his job seriously and does not get paid for nothing, we will definitely retain his position and even take on more important work. Brooke made a contribution to Braddock  For his contribution, neither I nor the residents of Braddock will forget him." Wang Lei explained patiently that he is the elected mayor, and his power is given to him by the voters. In front of them, he not only does not have any privileges,  The only duty is to serve them.

    "Really?" Gabriella's eyes were red, with tears in her eyes. She felt poor and humble, and she was really worried that her husband would lose his job.

    "Yes, I promise." Wang Lei nodded vigorously: "I just hope that Braddock will become better. You and Brooke think so too, right?"

    "Don't believe what he says. He is a liar. Politicians are all liars. Can you guarantee that every employee who loses his job can find a job?" A white woman in her thirties or forties suddenly rushed to Gabriella and asked  Wang Lei yelled.

    Wang Lei knew her. She was one of the members of Hawke's women's campaign team and she once insulted him in person as a brat.  She did not observe the meeting just now,But he broke in after hearing the news.

    Wang Lei frowned. Seeing this woman, he felt so sick that he wanted to vomit, but he couldn't help but hold it back. The other person was a citizen, and he was the elected mayor: "I'm sorry, I really can't make such a guarantee.  , in my opinion, everyone¡¯s job opportunities should be earned through their own efforts, and the government¡¯s responsibility is only to ensure that everyone has equal opportunities.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s equality of opportunity, not getting something for nothing.¡±

    "Haha, you got something for nothing, what have you done? You haven't done anything, you don't understand anything, why should you dictate other people's work? You little brat, you narrow-eyed guy" The woman yelled crazily.  , she even bared her teeth and claws and rushed towards her. Wang Lei quickly dodged to the side and she fell to the ground. Then she sat there unable to get up, kicking her feet and slapping the ground with her hands, crying and fussing.

    "**!" Wang Lei slapped his forehead. He couldn't help but go berserk. If anyone in school said he was a narrow-eyed guy, he would beat them until they couldn't even recognize his mother.  But now, he could only keep telling himself: I am the mayor, I am Braddock's mayor, and I cannot hit her.

    He found that he still thought of things too simply. Parliamentary opposition, employee strikes, and even the government temporarily shut down. He had thought about various possible situations and planned response strategies, but this kind of nonsense was like acting like a fool.  , he really didn¡¯t expect it.

    He originally thought that no matter how loud the opposition was and how fierce the resistance below was, he held absolute justice, represented the interests of most residents, acted in accordance with the law, and with a little political means, all opposition would be overcome.  He is just a paper tiger, and the final victory will definitely belong to him.

    ¡°But, facing a shrew, you can¡¯t hit or scold her, but let her run wild here?  That would turn Braddock into a joke, affect the work of the town hall, and threaten his prestige and work progress.

    ¡°Her husband Rashad is the director of the Reconstruction Bureau.¡± Someone next to him said in a mocking tone.

    Wang Lei immediately understood why this woman was so crazy. The Reconstruction Bureau was a department he clearly mentioned with duplicate functions and no results, and it would definitely be on the line of being cut.

    You want to stop me in this way?  A bitch trying to shake me up?  Wang Lei sneered in his heart, his determination has not wavered, even if he encounters more ridiculous things, even if he is in danger, he will continue to push forward this work.

    His determination is as solid as a rock.

    The most important thing now is to solve the trouble at hand, and then use thunderous means to bring all the little ones back to their original shape.  Wang Lei glanced coldly at the woman on the ground, and then at the crowd watching the excitement in the conference room. Some residents among them stood on his side and supported him in reducing redundant government staff.

    ¡°I reiterate once again that nothing is more important than the well-being of all residents of Braddock. Every penny of revenue in the government budget comes from taxpayers and must be used in real places. The government hires staff to provide  The residents provide the best services, this is not a welfare institution, and the salaries paid to employees are not unemployment insurance benefits, they should be used where they are needed more."

    "No one or any behavior can shake my determination." Wang Lei threw down these words, turned around and left. He couldn't use any means to deal with this unreasonable crazy woman, but he had other methods.

    Behind him, some residents couldn¡¯t help but applaud what he just said: ¡°Okay!¡±

    "well said!"

    ¡°The taxes we pay should not be misused.¡±

    "Small-eyed man, stop!" The woman was shocked by Wang Lei's words. By the time she reacted, Wang Lei had already walked out of the conference room.  She scrambled to get up from the ground and wanted to catch up, but was held back by other residents who were watching.

    "Tamika, you are so selfish. The government's money belongs to all of us."
