Chapter 16 is to call the police and arrest you
At five o'clock in the afternoon of May 19th, Zhou Ming took Huang Yi and all the students of the finance class to the Vinda community by bus, opened the luggage compartment after getting off the bus, took out folding tables and chairs and some promotional slogans and leaflets from it, and then the students were divided into two groups, one group set up a booth in the same place to distribute leaflets and introduce candidates to passers-by, and the other group went deep into the community to knock on doors to publicize.
These were all prepared for a long time, and when Zhou Ming came back on the 16th, he held a meeting with his classmates to discuss the next thing to sign in the Vinda community. Then on the 17th and 18th, we prepared slogans and flyers, and finally on the 19th, we went directly to the community after class.
In fact, these days are not weekends, so this arrangement seems a little unreasonable, but there is no way, who will let the election registration take such a few days? Of course, you can continue to skip class, but Zhou Ming doesn't want to do it, not only because he promised Jie La not to skip class, but also for the sake of these students in the finance class.
Zhou Ming himself naturally doesn't care about the diploma of Harvard University, but he can't delay these students in the finance class! This is not only because he promised Yang Lao and Chairman Du, but also because these students support and trust him so much, he has no reason to give up on them.
"Teacher, none of us have ever run for office, these are all experiences in running clubs in the university, can you persuade those Americans to sign autographs for us?" Li Yang asked Zhou Ming while directing the setting of the table.
In the face of Li Yang's inquiry, Zhou Ming did not answer, but asked him instead: "Then what good solution have you come up with?"
Li Yang shook his head blankly: "Teacher, I don't have any good ideas, if I have it, I will bring it up as early as the 16th meeting." ”
"Since you can't help it, why are you still complaining here?" Zhou Ming scolded him angrily, and then said with a straight face, "Li Yang, you have to know, now that the decision has been made and implemented, then do it well and don't think about those useless, instead of worrying about that, you might as well put more thought into today's things and see what problems we have encountered, so as to summarize and prepare for the next time." ”
"Teacher, don't worry, I'm just nagging, and I won't delay things......"
Li Yang's words stopped at this point, because he noticed another important point, and he asked Zhou Ming again: "Teacher, do you mean that we may not succeed today?"
"How can we succeed so casually, we can really cross the river by feeling the stones. ”
Zhou Ming laughed and teased, and then didn't say anything more, Li Yang didn't continue to ask, and silently commanded to work, Zhou Ming believed that he would be more attentive. But at this time, another cowardly voice came: "Teacher, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have ...... that day I should have agreed to let Gentle-sensei help us. ”
Hearing her say this, Zhou Ming didn't need to look back to know that it was Ye Ning, Zhou Ming pretended to be angry and criticized: "Ye Ning, why did you talk about this again?
"But after all, Ms. Zyra has worked in Speaker Anthony's campaign team, and she is very familiar with the entire campaign process, and if she helps, we will definitely be able to do more with half the effort. Ye Ning hurriedly explained, "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have been so willful that day, and as a result, Teacher Jiela was angry and left, so we have to cross the river by feeling the stones now." ”
It will be very fierce to Li Yang and Zhou Ming, but to Ye Ning, Zhou Ming really can't be angry, after all, he likes his female students so much.
"But Ye Ning, didn't you also say that Speaker Anthony and Councillor Old Brooke have a very close relationship, and at this time, Teacher Zyra suddenly took the initiative to come up, it's hard to say whether she really wants to help us, or has some other purpose. And besides, we will always have to face the election campaign independently in the future, and we can't always rely on the help of others, right?"
Zhou Ming saw that Ye Ning still wanted to say something, and he immediately continued: "Okay Ye Ning, you don't always put the responsibility on yourself, it's not your fault, it's me who makes the decision, not you." ”
After speaking, Zhou Ming thought for a while and added: "And I don't blame you." ”
Originally, Ye Ning still looked very self-blaming, but when she heard Zhou Ming's last sentence, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Really, teacher, you really don't blame me?"
Zhou Ming actually added that sentence at the end of the sentence was also an inspiration, because maybe for a man, it is necessary to explain the reason clearly with him, but for a girl, the most important thing is what the people she cares about think of her. Zhou Ming just tried Ye Ning, but he didn't expect to really guess for himself.
It seems that after experiencing so many girls, I am no longer the dick who didn't understand the girl's mind at the beginning, and I am slowly getting closer to the playboy, I really don't know if it's good or bad.
Zhou Ming sighed in his heart, and said to Ye Ning with a very serious face: "Of course, I know that Ye Ning is thinking about me, how can I blame you?" But if you don't ask me for a few more autographs today, then I'm really going to be angry!"
Zhou Ming said and deliberately straightened her face again, although Ye Ning knew it very smartly, she still nodded vigorously.
"Hello sir, we are from the Wharton Campaign Foundation, we are ready to help a Chinese councillor to run for election, we hope to get your help, of course, in return, our councillor will also be very considerate of the Vida community, and we will fight for the interests of the residents of the Vida community. ”
"It's very rare for a Chinese to run for parliament in Brighton, but we Chinese are the most conscientious and responsible, and there are a lot of Chinese people living in the Vinda community, and you can tell from them that we are very worthy of help. ”
"We will pay more attention to the health and medical problems of the community, and we have noticed that there will be some gaps in the sanitary conditions here, which may not be able to be dealt with in the hands of the current councillors, but if it is handed over to us, I believe we will be able to deal with it, and we can also introduce very generous insurance for the residents of the community, so that the residents of the community can enjoy the maximum benefit, which is our commitment." ”
"Sir, you have to believe that by supporting our campaign you are supporting your own happiness!"
......
All the finance students pulled pedestrians on the streets to do a desperate job of publicity, recommending elector Huang Yi to them, explaining their campaign policies to them, and inviting them to sign support forms.
The students worked very hard, and it can be said that they did their best, but in the end, as Zhou Ming initially expected, there was no result, most of them just stayed for a moment because of curiosity, and finally shook their heads and left, and only a few actually signed the form.
"Teacher, it seems that the situation is not optimistic. Li Yang said to Zhou Ming with a frown.
Ye Ning also came over and said: "You are really nonsense, we have all seen this, and now we can only wait for the results of the squad leader's side, I hope that their door-to-door knocking can bring good results." ”
"It's not me pouring cold water, Chen Shu's side, I advise you not to think about hope. Zhou Ming said.
Zhou Ming became a prophecy, and as his words fell, Chen Shu hurriedly ran out over there, Ye Ning and Li Yang were in a low mood, but they still went over to inquire about the situation for the first time, but Chen Shu did not answer, just shook his head at them again and again, and then went straight to Zhou Ming, and said to Zhou Ming breathlessly: "The teacher is not good, let's go quickly, someone in the community has called the police!"
Chen Shu's words were like a bombshell, which made Ye Ning and Li Yang, who came over, stunned.
"What, call the police? Why is this, we are just here to promote our campaign, why should they call the police?" Li Yang, who could not hold back his words, immediately shouted.
Ye Ning was also surprised: "Yes, we are just doing campaign propaganda, is this also illegal?"
Originally, Ye Ning and Li Yang were mentally prepared to accept Chen Shu's futile under Zhou Ming's preventive injection, and in their minds, this was also the worst situation, but who would have thought that reality could still have such a lower limit, and they made such a joke, even Zhou Ming didn't expect it at all.
Chen Shu took two breaths, and before he could say anything, he saw a few middle-aged sisters in their forties chased out of the community, and they pointed at Zhou Ming while trotting and scolded: "Sure enough, it's you people again, I know when I see him, don't run if you don't run, I tell you that I have called the police, you just wait to go to prison!"
Hearing what the aunt said, Ye Ning and Li Yang panicked at the time, but Zhou Ming finally stood up and asked: "This eldest sister, we are just here to promote the campaign, which is allowed by the law, why do you call the police?"
With Zhou Ming taking the lead, Ye Ning and Li Yang also followed: "That's it, you said that you don't support our Chinese candidacy for parliament, just forget it, what do you mean by making trouble here and calling the police? Do you deliberately not want us Chinese to be councilors? Is there any national consciousness anymore?"
Hearing Ye Ning and Li Yang say this, the eldest sisters immediately became annoyed, and one by one they ran over and poked Li Yang and Chen Shu's chests and said, "Oh, you little red guys are still reasonable? Can you still talk about us? Let me tell you, we eat more salt than you have ever eaten, and you little red guys were going to be thrown into the Atlantic Ocean twenty years ago, how can you still have the face to come to the United States, so let's go back to China!"
Another street worker next to him chimed in: "That's right, what do you say you are doing in the United States, isn't that embarrassing us? I just want to call the police to arrest you, so you should hurry back to China and be poor!"
Zhou Ming pulled Chen Shu and Li Yang back two steps, distanced himself from each other, and said, "Eldest sister has something to say, don't do it, okay? Since it is in the United States, it must be a bit of a civilized person, and we are just promoting it here, I don't think we have offended you, right?"
Facing Zhou Ming's question, the eldest sister Binhai shouted again: "Oh, you little red guy, I don't say you, you still have the face to talk about me?"
"I have no opinion that you want to campaign and publicize, but what are you looking for our children to do? Their first task now is to study hard, but you are good, what kind of election is it for them, they don't want to do anything else all day, they just think about what election, and they want us to elect, do you think you are a scourge?" Sister Binhai pointed at Zhou Ming and said with a foaming mouth, "Last time I let you go, today you still dare to come, it's really the toilet lantern to find!"
Another person on the street next to him said: "That's right, we called the police to arrest you, tell me what other Americans are doing campaigns, do you know what election is? Do you know what the results of the election are? That is not your kind of trick to deceive children, you should study hard when you come to study, don't make so many moths, otherwise if you come once, we will call the police and arrest you once!"
