"Rex, actually the cripple is not a thug who does all kinds of evil." Luka couldn't help but explain.
The members of the Crips are all local black teenagers in Braddock. Some of them behave violently, but most of them are very friendly to the local black residents and are very straightforward. They just don't have jobs and spend all day on the streets. They sway and like to fight with the c-walk dance steps, and sometimes they get into fights.
Wang Lei turned his head and glanced at Luka: "I know that they are not more hateful than some sanctimonious guys, but they have reached a very dangerous edge. If they cross the line, they will become thugs. I will not Allowed."
The distance to Emily's house was not far. Wang Lei and the others rode their bicycles and crossed several streets in less than ten minutes to arrive at the door of Emily's house. They did not encounter any members of the Crips or other accidents on the way.
But Wang Lei did not relax his vigilance. He always felt that something was brewing in the darkness.
It wasn¡¯t until he saw Emily walking into the house that Wang Lei said hello to Luca and then went back to their respective homes.
When he returned to his room, the first thing Wang Lei did was to turn on his computer and log in to "Face to Face". By this time, the Internet peak had passed and the website could finally be opened again, but the speed was still very slow.
Wang Lei¡¯s account on ¡°Face to Face¡± is the most followed on the entire website, with more than 300 fans, including Braddock residents, media reporters, and some people who follow him, the youngest mayor in the United States.
"Oh!"
Today's messages were very enthusiastic. Everyone mentioned the "reform plan" proposed by Wang Lei. Some people applauded his decisiveness and determination for reform; some were worried, thinking that he was not yet capable of controlling this plan; and those who had been smearing him As usual, people keep belittling and even insulting him, thinking that he "knows nothing", is "reckless", "doesn't know the bounds of heaven and earth" and so on.
Someone even left a message on it: "Small-eyed man, tomorrow is your death day, just wait and see the good show!"
Wang Lei selectively ignored these insults, and those pertinent opinions were recorded by him for comparison and reflection. He is very aware of his own shortcomings, which is his lack of experience, and he also knows how to use his strengths and avoid weaknesses, which is to pay attention to learning.
"Cause chaos and strikes? No, I have visited most departments this afternoon, and their attitude is pretty good. After all, this is for Braddock. The fact that the organization is bloated is in front of us, and we can only accept it."
Wang Lei chooses those more typical messages and replies one by one. In this way, he can also make his ideas known to more people, promote and persuade.
"What's the next step? We already have a plan, but even the best plan requires people to do it, so we must deal with people's affairs first."
"Why are you so anxious? It's not that I want to be anxious, but the contracts of the officials have just expired. If we can't handle it well at this time, we must sign new contracts with them. When we lay off them in the future, we will have to pay More compensation. And I don't think it's going to help if they stay where they are."
"Yes, we will consider the interests of ordinary employees and try our best to let them get new positions, as long as there are no problems with their work attitude."
Wang Lei answered more than a dozen questions, and finally posted the "Report to Employees" above. This short speech contained many of his thoughts.
After watching "Face to Face", Wang Lei dealt with a few more emails. Most of them were sent by media reporters whom he knew well. They wanted to conduct an exclusive interview with him or asked some questions. In addition, Rachel, who was far away in Canada, actually knew that he was there. Taking office today, I specially sent him an email to congratulate him and ask him how it feels to be the mayor of the town.
¡°It feels great.¡±
Wang Lei replied an email to Rachel, and also responded to other reporters' emails one by one. One of the reporters happened to be online. The two parties exchanged several questions and answers by email. By the time these were all processed, time had passed. In the early morning of the next day.
Lying on the bed, Wang Lei did not fall asleep immediately. He opened the presidential book in his mind again.
In the past month or so, the president's profile has also undergone some changes. He originally had three auras: youth leader, friend of the community, and town star. After being elected as the mayor of Braddock, he also Earn a reward from the Presidential Book, a new aura of charisma - that of a small town leader.
Among them, the town star halo has been upgraded to level two. After he was elected as the mayor of Braddock and became the youngest mayor, many media reported on his deeds. He also accepted some interviews and even participated in several A talk show quickly increased his popularity, and his reputation as a "small town star" also increased rapidly.The drama soared.
In addition to upgrading the town star halo to level two, there are now five lighted badges, but to upgrade to level three, four general politician badges are required, which costs a lot, and he is not in a hurry to redeem them.
The function of the newly added "town leader" halo is to inspire the residents of the town and increase their recognition of Wang Lei as the mayor. It is still at the initial level.
Wang Lei clicked on the "Small Town Leader" halo on the President's book and looked at the picture that appeared. He almost jumped out of bed. It was almost completely black. The original white and red dots were almost all black. It's gone, which means that almost no one recognizes him as the mayor who has just been in office for a day, and there are almost no white spots that represent a neutral attitude.
Before that, there were still a lot of white dots and some red dots supporting him. Now they have almost all disappeared and turned black. This means that what he said and did today was not recognized by everyone. , not only did it fail to win more support and recognition, even people who were originally neutral and on the sidelines began to turn around.
"Oh, **! What's going on?" Wang Lei pulled his hair and sat up from the bed. He really couldn't understand why the policy he launched for Braddock's sake had this result.
He could understand the objections of government employees whose interests had been harmed, but why didn¡¯t the residents of the small town agree? He always felt that his actions would be supported by the residents of the town. This was his greatest confidence and reliance, but the result was that no one supported him.
This made him feel very painful and confused, as if someone had stabbed his heart with a sharp knife, and the pain was severe.
"It shouldn't be like this, it can't be like this!" Wang Lei murmured, his eyes were so bright that it was scary. Pain and confusion could not make him feel depressed, let alone give up. He had to figure this out. What the hell is going on, what the hell is going on with this damn recognition?
Is the presidential book broken? Wang Lei quickly shook his head and rejected the idea. The presidential book is magical and it should not go wrong.
No matter what, he can¡¯t unreasonably think that there is something wrong with the President¡¯s book. That is laziness and irresponsibility. If it is not the president's book that is wrong but the reality, he will be in a desperate situation.
That is because everyone does not think he can control this plan and are afraid that he will mess things up. Yes, that should be the reason. Many comments on the Internet also said the same. If it were just like this, the problem would not be big. He would prove to everyone that he has the ability to do things well.
There are also some people who don¡¯t understand his plan and may be worried about the decline in the quality of public services. Some people on the Internet have said so. Although the number of people is small, they do have such worries.
This problem is not a big one. He does not intend to reduce the quality of public services, but will strengthen them. As long as he explains and publicizes them well, everyone will understand.
Tomorrow he will contact the reporters in the media and talk to them about his detailed plan. He can also reprint a copy of the tabloid "The Braddock Man". He will let everyone understand that things are not what they think. That way.
He originally took it for granted, thinking that once a policy such as eliminating redundant employees was announced, it would naturally receive response and support from the residents of the small town. Now it seems that things are not that simple. The reality is always very complicated, and all aspects of the reaction must be taken into consideration. Fortunately, he discovered this in time and still has a chance to save it.
Wang Lei went over his plan in his mind again and added some new methods, trying to be foolproof.
But he always felt that something was wrong, as if something big was about to happen, and he felt restless. He didn't fall asleep until it was getting dark.
