Chapter XXVI "Presidential" Allegiance

The hall of the Chinese dormitory was dull, and Omar and Chen Shuye Ning Li Yang all looked at Zhou Ming intently, waiting for Zhou Ming's final answer.

Although Omar had already told all his stories just now, it was still a miracle that people couldn't believe for Chen Yening and Li Yang.

You must know that today is already May 23rd, and there are only two days left before the end of the candidacy registration, if Huang Yi was disqualified before, they still had the last glimmer of hope after Zhou Ming's meeting, then today, when they failed to find a new candidate, they completely gave up hope, otherwise Ye Ning would not have said anything to go back and persuade Omar.

Of course, they are not unavoidable to give up their election campaigns, after all, they are mainly here to learn about finance and economics, and the United States is a capitalist country, and everything is for commercial capital; as long as the laws of the United States support capital and commercial behavior, enterprises can live within the framework of the law.

So if others can, then they can too, and they are holding their breath in their hearts: why should we admit defeat to Old Brooke?

But the reality is cruel after all, due to racial discrimination and propaganda reasons, they hit a wall everywhere, and the people they are looking for are either unwilling to campaign for them, or they are not politically capable enough, so there has been no progress at all in three days;

When Omar suddenly appeared at the door just now, they were almost so happy that they jumped up, only Zhou Ming remained calm, and asked Omar to come in and sit down first, and then asked him what happened.

After a long time, Omar saw that Zhou Ming was still silent, and he couldn't help but say anymore: "Mr. Zhou Ming, classmate Zhou Ming, I know that my attitude was very bad before, and I can apologize to you for this." ”

Omar stood up and bowed to Zhou Ming as he spoke, then he turned to Ye Ning and said, "I can also apologize to this lady for my bad words that day." I don't ask you to forgive me, I just want to tell you that I still have value, I know that I will give a speech in the election, as long as you can support me, I can win a seat for you, please believe me!"

In the face of Omar's sincere words, Zhou Ming couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, because he was just a little distracted, after all, Zhou Ming never thought that this black president, who was destined to be recorded in the history of the United States and even the world, actually had such an unbearable period of time, not only lost the opportunity to be a judge, but was even cuckolded in his bed.

However, this also seems to explain why Omar chose only a job as a teacher after receiving his Ph.D. from Harvard Law School this year, and did not start his political career until six years later, with the encouragement of his wife.

Zhou Ming was just a little distracted when he thought of this, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that Omar was apologizing to himself and Ye Ning, and he also started self-promotion, which really made Zhou Ming a little helpless, but this can also show that Omar has really made up his mind to enter politics from another aspect.

Now that he has put his heart into his heart, it would be too boring to hold it by himself again, although he didn't want to hold it.

So Zhou Ming said to him: "Mr. Omar, I am very willing to believe you, if we support you, you will definitely help us win this election, but before that, I have a question, Mr. Omar, what is the purpose of your campaign? Is it to get power and then take revenge on your girlfriend and that opponent Kane, or do you have some other ideas?"

Zhou Ming's question made Omar stunned at the time, he shook his head and muttered: "I don't know, I just want to have power, I just don't get convinced, why are we all in the United States, they are higher than us? Why am I destined to be bullied just because I am black?"

"Do you think that you are an American, but the United States is not your home, and you are an African, but Africa is a stranger land?" Zhou Ming asked.

Omar was stunned for a moment, and then he silently recited Zhou Ming's words in his heart, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded desperately and said: "That's right, this is the feeling, Mr. Zhou Ming, you are really amazing, you actually said the feeling I can't describe in one sentence." Although you look young now, I think you must be a very intelligent and experienced person!"

Zhou Ming actually felt a little blushing at Omar's praise, because what he just said was what Omar wrote in the book in his later life, and Zhou Ming just told him his own summary in advance.

Zhou Ming waved his hand and said: "I'm not a writer, I just don't want the candidates I support to run aimlessly." And Omar, because of your identity experience, I think you must have the most say in the social structure of the United States, so what you have to do is not just to hold power, but you have to use this power to change them as much as you want. ”

Zhou Ming's words made Omar respect Zhou Ming, and subconsciously straightened his waist, although Zhou Ming was still sitting there, but in Omar's eyes, Zhou Ming was now as tall as a giant.

"Mr. Zhou Ming, you are the greatest of all the people I have met, not only because of your wisdom, but also because of your mind and your personality, you will want your followers to progress with you, not just use them, this is the sea and the sky, in the past I thought only God could do it, until I met you. ”

Omar continued, and at the same time clasped his right hand and solemnly bowed to Zhou Ming to give a knightly salute: "I know these words are not worth mentioning to you, but I still want to say that I will be loyal to you, and I will try to win every election for you!"

Listening to Omar's solemn oath, Zhou Ming just wanted to laugh out loud: God testified, he really didn't want to pretend to be B, he just wanted to simply put Omar on an equal footing with himself, and wanted to do a win-win cooperation with him, who knew that such a pure idea would actually let him do this; it seems that he is too equal, forgetting that Omar is not the president of the United States now, just a black student who has been bullied.

Who is Omar? He is the future president of the United States, and the first black president of the United States in the 230 years since the founding of the United States.

The fact that such a person has now sworn allegiance to himself is definitely something that makes people howl with excitement!

Maybe I don't know how American capital colludes with politicians to create benefits, but now I am only in my twenties, and the time is still very long, Omar has not even obtained a doctorate, and I have time to understand this game of capital and power to slowly understand.

It's just that now Zhou Ming can't howl and laugh, after all, the B he pretended to be unconsciously had to be finished no matter what, so Zhou Ming deliberately sighed and said: "Omar, I know that if I say anything to you now to cooperate or not to do this, it will be an insult to you, so I won't say it, I only say to you, your allegiance, I accept it." ”

After receiving Zhou Ming's affirmative reply, Omar smiled and said, "Thank you very much!"

What is this called? In 90 years, he could still accept the oath of allegiance of such a Harvard elite, and he could be regarded as a strange flower.

Zhou Ming slandered in his heart, but for Chen Shuye Ning and Li Yang next to him, although everything in front of him happened very suddenly, it was a matter of course in their hearts, after all, it was none other than their teacher Zhou Ming! No matter who it was, even if Omar was now the president of the United States, it was not unacceptable to swear allegiance to Zhou Ming, right?

For Zhou Ming, allegiance was just an unexpected episode, and Zhou Ming quickly skipped this paragraph, and he said to Omar: "Don't talk nonsense, what I want to tell you is that we are going to run for the House of Representatives of the Vida community, not the city councilor of Brighton or the Massachusetts councilor, starting from the most basic councilor, are you willing to do this Harvard doctor?"

Omar replied: "Of course, no problem, Mr. Zhou Ming, I have already pledged my allegiance to you, and I hope you will not doubt my loyalty." ”

Zhou Ming nodded silently and said: "I'm sorry, I won't doubt it, but I still need to remind you that because I have also been targeted, in your campaign, in addition to the first two hundred voter signatures, I am afraid that I will not be able to give you too much other support, you need to raise funds and make your own propaganda slogans and hire people to publicize." ”

"Is Senator Brooke?" asked Omar tentatively.

"It seems that you also know?" Zhou Ming asked rhetorically.

Omar scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "After Mr. Zhou Ming came to me, I went to find out a little more. ”

"I see, yes, it's the veteran senator from Massachusetts who is targeting me. Zhou Ming said.

Omar thought for a moment and asked, "In that case...... Mr. Zhou Ming, if you can, I wonder if you can give me a list of rich people? After all, I have been studying in school, and my social connections are not so wide, but as long as I have a list and a phone number, I believe I can raise money. ”

"All you need is a list and a phone number? You're asking a stranger for money. Zhou Ming was curious.

"Of course, because this is not how the electors are funded? That's why I used to call these politicians professional beggars, but I didn't expect that I would have such a day. Omar said.

For Omar's relaxed words, Zhou Ming felt a little helpless, it seems that this is the surprise of culture, for Chinese people, in addition to beggars and liars, it is always difficult to ask a stranger for money, so Zhou Ming will take the money himself to help Huang Yi campaign. But now listening to Omar, in their eyes, it is natural for them to ask strangers for money.

After teasing himself, Omar then asked: "Mr. Zhou Ming, although I am very presumptuous, I still want to read your previous campaign pamphlets." ”

Faced with Omar's request, Ye Ning was the first to react, and she took the initiative to run to get the brochure after answering.

Omar took it and closed it after just one glance, he looked up and said to Zhou Ming: "I'm sorry to say, Mr. Zhou Ming, this brochure of yours is too long-winded, I think the best propaganda sentence is enough." ”

Zhou Ming nodded silently: "It seems that I didn't choose the wrong person, Omar, you are really very politically talented, indeed, this political propaganda is advertising, too many words will make people unable to remember, and the best propaganda that can be remembered is only one sentence, so what are you going to do, Omar?"

Omar pondered for a while and replied: "If I'm not mistaken, the Vinda community belongs to the Fenway district, and the election time for this district will end in two days, I can go to the community tomorrow to sign up, and then go to the community to visit and investigate and decide on the slogan, and on the last day, I will go with the slogan to ask for 200 voters to sign it, Mr. Zhou Ming, do you think I can arrange it this way?"

"Don't ask me, just do as you say. Zhou Ming said with a wave of his hand.
