Chapter 51: Governor, I Need Your Help
A quarter of an hour later, Zhou Ming's Buick arrived in the Vinda community, arriving before the governor's motorcade.
This situation is very normal, after all, the governor's motorcade will choose a safe main road to travel, and will maintain a uniform speed of progress, but Zhang Lin can take a small road to pass, and at the same time, the Vinda community is a place he is very familiar with, for these reasons, Zhang Lin can certainly catch up with the governor.
At the gate of the Vinda community, Omar was waiting here, and when he saw Zhou Ming coming, he immediately greeted him, because he had already passed the phone just now, so Omar went straight to the topic without nonsense: "Mr. Zhou Ming, the community is ready, I will talk to Mr. Governor alone later, and then you will be with me, I can leave all the time to you." ”
For Omar's generosity, Zhou Ming wanted to accept all the orders, but for the sake of safety, Zhou Ming still asked first: "Why did Mr. Governor come to you today? Is it about the work arrangements of the Vinda community, or do you usually have contact?"
Omar understood very well what Zhou Ming was worried about, so he replied very directly: "I don't know this, we don't usually have contact, but when I was young, Mr. Governor once came to my house and said that I am very politically talented, if I enter politics one day, he said that he will come to see me in person, I think...... Perhaps that's why. ”
Zhou Ming knew this reason, because Omar had mentioned in later books that there was a politician who had a great influence on him, and it seemed that it was the governor.
"In that case, thank you so much for giving me this opportunity, it's very important to me. Zhou Ming said.
"Compared to Mr. Zhou Ming, your help to me, I am only the most insignificant. Omar said.
Time was urgent, so Zhou Ming and Omar didn't have any extra courtesies, so they went back together to prepare, Alan followed behind Zhou Ming mechanically, for him, everything today was simply incredible.
As a lawyer who is good at calculating, Alan knows very well that Will Adams deliberately told Zhou Ming the news, the purpose is to give Zhou Ming a direction of hope, but this hope is full of difficulties and obstacles, very slim, a hundred people face this hope, I am afraid that ninety-nine will choose to give up, but Zhou Ming insisted on trying to the end.
Later, Zhou Ming found James through himself and came to the state government, but here he was told that the governor had set off early, and it was still under the interference of Old Brook.
This is undoubtedly another piece of news that makes people give up, because it is very similar to a game deliberately set up by Old Brooke and Will Adams, the purpose is to tease you, but Zhou Ming still did not give up and continued to chase the governor's convoy out.
If they followed the governor's motorcade all the way to their destination, it would be fine, but the point was that the governor's motorcade had already gone far by the time they reacted, and they caught up with it entirely by guessing, but in the end they were able to guess correctly. However, at this time, fate played a big joke again, a red light blocked their way, and they watched the governor's motorcade disappear at the end of the road.
Ordinary people have to jump to scold their mothers and complain at this time, but Zhou Ming still hasn't given up and continues to find a way to catch up.
Finally, God was moved by Zhou Ming's perseverance and asked Omar to bring the news of the governor.
The governor went to find Omar, and Omar took the initiative to call and tell Zhou Ming that he was very lucky, but if there was no Zhou Ming's previous insistence, if Zhou Ming gave up early, would there still be this luck? Alan didn't know, but he was sure that in a quarter of an hour at most, Zhou Ming would meet with the governor, so would the miracle he had been looking forward to really happen to Zhou Ming?
Maybe Zhou Ming has performed miracles before, and even got an amnesty from the president, but that was the result of finding the Chinese consulate.
But he is not the crown prince of China, let alone the emperor, so how can the Chinese consulate help him again and again? Moreover, on a case-by-case basis, relying on diplomatic means, he can get an amnesty order from the president, but he may not be able to get $7 million from the governor, after all, one is a federation and must consider the whole, while the other is only the governor and must be responsible to the state legislature.
In this series of ideas, Allen followed Zhou Ming to the community office, because according to the situation in the United States, there is no real grassroots organization like the neighborhood office, so the self-governing body of each elected member is the most basic management body.
The Vinda community was supposed to be Bother according to the election results, but because Omar set up a Meitong company with the help of Zhou Ming, he directly defeated Both, and finally under Bothb's compromise, although the nominal councilor of the Vinda community is still Bothb, in fact, it is Omar who manages everything in the community and formulates reform policies. Naturally, then, Botber's office was also taken over by Omar.
Originally, Botber sat in the position of the owner of the office, but when Zhou Ming and Omar pushed the door in, Boateb jumped up like a spring under his buttocks.
"It's okay, Bobble, you're the councillor for the community of Vida, so just sit there. ”
Zhou Ming said something to him casually, but this sentence sounded like a heavy slap in the face in Botbur's ears, making him want to jump out of the window immediately.
Zhou Ming and Omar had no interest in Both's embarrassment, and sat down in the reception area of the office and began to discuss the details of the meeting with the governor, as if Bothb did not exist, and Botbury only learned that the governor was coming after eavesdropping on their conversation, which surprised Botb to almost fall off his chair. Imagine the state of mind of a street director who suddenly learns that the secretary of the provincial party committee will come in a quarter of an hour, and Botbur is like that.
Hearing the news, Botbury wanted to slap himself in the face, why did he have to fight with them for some parliamentarians in the first place, it turned out that they even knew the governor!
Botb didn't think the governor was coming for the Vida community, at least before Zhou Ming and Omar came, he didn't even have a mayor here, let alone a governor.
In Bobble's self-pity, a quarter of an hour passed quickly, and as news came from outside, Omar and Zhou Ming got up and went down to greet the governor. According to the information learned by Zhou Ming, the Massachusetts governor is named Edward, a Democrat, who was a journalist before entering the political circle, and because of his profession, after witnessing too many things, he became a very active politician for reform until he successfully ran for governor.
Zhou Ming didn't know much about Governor Edward's background, except that his father was a member of the board of directors of the New England Media Group and had invested in a lot of entertainment companies.
It is for this reason that when Edward moved from journalist to politics, he received very strong public support, and thus became a very famous social activist in Massachusetts in just a few years, and finally was elected to the legislature and finally the governor.
As long as you have listened to his speeches or read reports related to him, you can know that his core idea is to break the tradition and continue to change.
When these thoughts were spinning in Zhou Ming's mind, Governor Edward's motorcade had already arrived in the Vinda community, and the bodyguards first got out of the car to guard around, and then Edward got out of the car, and Omar hurriedly took two steps forward to take the initiative to shake hands. The governor is not a tall American, he is only about 1.6 meters tall, and he looks very short when standing with Omar, who is 1.8 meters tall.
Edward looked up at Omar and smiled, "I didn't expect Omar to grow so tall, I remember the last time I saw you, you were still hiding behind your mother!"
Omar smiled a little awkwardly, "Uncle Edward said it was a joke, the last time you saw me was nearly twenty years ago, and I wasn't in college yet!"
"Yes, not only did you not go to college at that time, but you were very naughty, which gave Uncle Edward, who had just been elected to the council at the time, a headache!" said Edward.
Just as Edward and Omar were catching up, the people of the nearby Vida community gathered around this side.
This is also normal, after all, such a large convoy of governors, coupled with a circle of bodyguards next to it, will definitely attract people's curiosity. At the same time, Edward, as the governor elected by the media, is himself a pioneer of reform, and has a very high support rating in the state, at least this Vida community, when the governor was running at that time, was one-sided in favor of Edward, even if they did not meet Edward once.
At this time, when they saw Governor Edward, they all cheered: "Governor Edward, we are your supporters, I said that I moved the whole family to vote for you! I support your health insurance reform bill very much, if it can be passed in Congress, we will never be afraid of getting sick in the future!"
As a politician, Edward also waved his hand to them: "Hello everyone, I am also very happy to meet you all here. ”
But that's where Edward's greeting ended, after all, he wasn't here to give a speech today, and after saying hello, he walked into Botber's office with Omar, but even so, there were bursts of cheers and screams behind him.
"You are Botbert, try to be your councillor, and exercise the power given to you by the people. ”
Walking into the office, Edward said to Bob, but Edward said the same thing to Bobble, and asked him out.
Edward and Omar sat down on the sofa in the reception area, Edward looked Omar up and down a few times and sighed: "I didn't expect that Omar, who was extremely averse to politics, would also get involved in politics today, but this is also a good thing, because I believe in my own vision, you are very politically minded." This time, although you failed in the Vida Community Council, you can gain experience and try to understand what is going on in the Councillor's election. ”
"Thank you, Uncle Edward, I will remember your words. Omar then changed the tone and continued, "But Uncle Edward, I wish to suspend our conversation, because I have a friend who needs to speak to you. ”
Saying that, Omar pushed out Zhou Ming, and Edward also shifted his attention to Zhou Ming in a timely manner.
"Chinese, is he the one who supported your campaign and later helped you set up Meitong Logistics?" Edward asked.
Omar nodded and replied, "That's right, he not only supported my candidacy, but even he persuaded me to run, his name is Zhou Ming." ”
This surprised Edward, but he quickly recovered and thanked Zhou Ming, and then asked: "Then this Mr. Zhou Ming, I'm very happy to meet you here today, it's really an accident, so what questions do you want to talk to me about?"
"Dear Mr. Governor Edward," Zhou Ming said, "first of all, I want to say that our meeting today is not an accident, I have been waiting for you here after learning the news that you are coming, and then I do not want to talk to you about anything, but I need you to do me a favor." ”
