"Of course, I heard that Jason Taylor is coming." Luka snatched the last piece of fried chicken from Wang Lei and said with a wide grin, showing his dazzling white teeth.
Wang Lei was stunned, looked up at the expressions of others, and understood something in his heart: "Luka, you are lying, the new NFL season will start next month, how can Jason be free to attend the homecoming? "
Jason Taylor was selected by the Miami Dolphins in the third round of the NFL draft two years ago and became the starter for the Miami team in his rookie season.
Jason is not a big star in the NFL, but he is the best football player in the history of Woodland Hills High School and the first alumnus to become a starter for an NFL team, so he is very popular in Woodland Hills High School. Very popular, although the team most students support is the Pittsburgh Steelers.
"Haha, I just heard." Luka smiled proudly and quickly ate a piece of fried chicken.
"Jason won't be coming, but Andre Tucker will be coming. As you know, he founded a Hope Foundation and is committed to promoting mathematics and science education." Colin's eyes were shining, he was An Admirers of Andre Tucker have often mentioned this person before, and even hope to join Andre Tucker's Hope Foundation after graduating from college.
Andre Tucker is also an alumnus of Woodland Hills High School. Wang Lei knows this person and the Hope Foundation. He didn¡¯t feel anything before. His math and science scores are very good and he doesn¡¯t need to participate in special training. Now, he has some new ideas.
¡°Colin, does the Hope Foundation want to open a special education school for math and science?¡±
"Yes, they have this idea, but it has not been successful yet. The Wilkinsburg School District does not support this plan." Colin spread his hands regretfully.
"Oh, is it placed in Wilkinsburg? Why not Braddock?" Wang Lei asked.
Colin shook his head: "The population density in Wilkinsburg is probably higher. The school district is in the town of Wilkinsburg. The work should be easier. The Woodland Hills School District is too big, with more than a dozen It¡¯s very difficult to coordinate a town.¡±
"How do you know if you don't try? Didn't they also fail in Wilkinsburg?" Wang Lei patted the table and suddenly had an idea in his mind: "Anyway, I want to get to know Andre and then recommend our company to him. Braddock, even if the school cannot be opened immediately, we can still organize some activities at the Carnegie Library."
"Rex, why are you interested in that special education in mathematics and science?" Emily smoothed her long flowing golden hair. She hated mathematics the most, especially trigonometric functions, which were completely from Mars. thing.
Wang Lei put the empty Coke cup on the table: "I'm interested in anything that can increase Braddock's popularity. I'm even thinking that if the homecoming day of Woodland Hills High School can be held on Braddock, Just gram it.¡±
"It would be great if all the middle schools were in Braddock!" Wang Hua curled her lips and said. The Woodland Hills School District includes more than a dozen towns. The school district only has one junior high school and one senior high school. They go there every day. You have to take a school bus, pass through several small towns, and cover seven or eight kilometers to get to the school.
There are more than 1,000 students in the four grades of Woodland Hills High School. If the school were in Braddock, just providing meals every day would create a lot of jobs and business opportunities.
Of course, it is not easy to move a high school, it is basically impossible, even on homecoming day. What is homecoming day if it is not in school? But it is possible to try to engage in some peripheral activities in Braddock. In addition, special education schools like those that the Hope Foundation wants to establish can also be fought for. Although their size and influence will not be too large, they can also add some popularity to the town.
"Huahua, that's impossible, let's talk about Homecoming, shall we?" Emily pouted her delicate lips and said, she seemed a little unhappy and not in high spirits.
Wang Lei reached out and rubbed Emily's head: "What's wrong? What's wrong with you?"
Emily turned sideways and knocked off Wang Lei's hand: "Don't touch my head, I'm almost an adult."
"Brother, you are a big piece of wood. Emily wants to be the queen." Wang Lei didn't touch Emily, but Wang Hua kicked her in the leg.
Wang Lei was stunned for a moment. He turned his head and looked at the expression on Emily's face carefully. He immediately knew that Wang Hua was not talking nonsense. He bit his finger and blew a sharp whistle: "Oh, Emily is going to do it." Queen, friends, do you hear me? We have something to do."
"Cool, I didn't say anything, let's do it." Luka was the first to roll up his sleeves to show his support.
"Emily should have been the queen a long time ago. We even defeated the big devil, not to mention the school's queen, she can definitely do it."??" Douglas said with a smile as well.
Wang Yang glanced at Wang Lei and Emily with his small eyes: "If Emily can become the queen and Rex can be elected the king, hehe that would be perfect."
After experiencing the vigorous election of the town mayor, Rex kept running around during this period, studying Braddock's situation and the town's governance strategy when he had time, while Luca and the others were idle and bored.
"Emily's chance of being elected queen is 50%. If we run it like the mayor's election, it can reach 80%." Colin was silent for a while and then said slowly.
"Wow, 80%, that means you are definitely going to be elected." Wang Hua jumped up excitedly. She didn't understand what the odds were, but 80%, that means she is definitely the most likely to be elected. of.
"Very good, then let's set a time, call Alvin, and discuss a plan together to start as soon as possible. There is not much time left before the homecoming day. Let us continue to write our own legend!" Wang Lei He slapped the table and said loudly. Turning around, he saw Emily's pretty face blushing slightly and looking very excited. She couldn't help but smile and said, "Emily, I want to be the king. You, the queen, don't want to be the queen."
"Rashad, you are really useless. You are afraid of that little boy, but I am not."
¡°While Wang Lei was talking about homecoming with everyone, in the fast food restaurant next door, Tamika was pointing at the nose of her husband, Rashad, the director of the Redevelopment Agency and cursing.
"But you can't really watch me get fired, right?" Rashad waved his hand angrily.
"He dares." Tamika slapped the table. Fortunately, they were in a private room, otherwise, the sound might have been transmitted to the restaurant next door.
This restaurant is larger than the one next door. In addition to the fast food restaurant outside, there are also two small private rooms inside, which are very suitable for discussing matters. At this moment, in addition to Tamika and Rashad, there were three people in the private room, Planning Board Chairman Jesse Brown, Education Committee Chairman Joakim Humphries, and Councilman Simon who had just left the council meeting in protest. Ni.
If Hawke were here, he would definitely feel a headache. Jesse Brown, Joakim Humphries, and Simone are the iron triangle of Braddock's political circles. They have great influence, and anything that cannot be supported by them will become very troublesome.
Seeing Tamika making trouble again, the three of them frowned. Jesse Brown stood up angrily and shouted loudly: "Stop, you two shut up. The most important thing now is to stop it." We all know that boy, he is a fool, young and energetic, and can do anything."
Jesse Brown is a white man in his thirties. He is tall and has a heroic appearance. His light blue eyes are bright and sharp. When he stared at him, the fierce Tamika couldn't help shrinking. I don't dare to make trouble anymore.
"Jesse, just tell me what you want to do. Last time we were able to force Hawke to give in. Rex is just a little boy, so it won't be any harder."
Joakim Humphries played with the goblet in his hand. He was a black man in his fifties, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He was neatly dressed and had a red oak badge on his chest. That was a The badge of the "Field of Hope", a volunteer organization for educators, is said to have many branches across the United States.
Jesse Brown shook his head: "Qiao Jin, this time is different from last time. Hawke is cautious and hesitant, so he was forced by us. Seeing the huge resistance, Mashan adopted a relaxed attitude. Rex is a Young man, you can say that it¡¯s okay for him to be young and young, or to be young and vigorous. We are just making a fuss, and I¡¯m afraid he will have a more tempered temper.¡±
"Then what do you mean, just watch him lay us off?" Rashad was anxious.
Jesse Brown picked up the goblet on the table, took a sip of the red wine in it, and then shook his head gently: "No, no, no, I mean, this time we can't make a fuss like last time. Just stop, Hawke is an adult and knows that it is just a warning. To deal with a young man like Rex who doesn't know how to advance or retreat, only by beating him until it hurts and scares him will he know how to restrain himself."
"So, this time we won't move. If we want to move, we will do it harshly and push the matter out of control, lest the referendum will be held in two months and the matter will be difficult to control."
"Oh, is that a big event?" Joakim Humphries also put down his wine glass, with a cold and cold look like a cobra flowing in his black and white eyes.
"Okay, we want to let that child know how powerful it is. I want to see him hugging his mother and crying." Simone slapped the table and stood up, the expression on her face was twisted and full of hatred.

ps: Khan, the efforts to change the update time were ultimately unsuccessful. First, because of the plot change, it was difficult to search for information. Although this book is written in the United States, as a novel with a foreign background, it is necessary to strive for authenticity. , otherwise it will become empty. If you pay attention, you will know that the town of Braddock is real, and the background information involved is also as real as possible. Of course, due to limited information, the characters are basically fictional, and only this chapter appears. Two real names were given, Jason Taylor and Jesse Brown.
In addition, my father came back from the construction site in the past two days and suffered a minor injury, so he stayed with me. My mother-in-law has gone back, and there is no one to take care of the children, which also affects the coding. Of course, I will try my best to update it twice a day, but the update time cannot be fixed. I can only upload it after the coding is completed, modified and approved. The votes this week are not very good, and I am too embarrassed to ask for them. I hope everyone is satisfied with the story.
