Chapter 676: Mayor Benis
Jessica's decision to run for mayor of Fox came as a surprise not only to Link.
When she announced her resignation as president of the Beni Hans Group to run for election, the world thought she was joking.
Fox is not a big city like New York or Los Angeles, where the president of a multinational conglomerate worth tens of billions of dollars is running for mayor. What else could that be if it's not a joke?
However, the day after she announced her candidacy, the official website of the Benehans Group issued a notice that the board of directors of the group agreed to the resignation of Ms. Jessica Benis. It was also decided that Mr. Link Hans would take up the position of President of the Group.
Reporters also photographed Jessica submitting her candidacy application to the Fox Mayor Campaign Committee. At this time, the outside world believed that Jessica was really going to run for mayor of a small city with a population of less than 20,000.
Soon, the media immediately questioned that it was Link who asked Jessica to run, saying that he was authoritarian......
However, Jessica said in an interview with reporters after being qualified to submit her candidacy: "My husband supported my decision. Running for mayor of Fox was the right decision I made after careful consideration. As for saying that Link asked me to run, it was just a joke, and in fact, he didn't want me to run in the first place. ”
Link, who appeared with her, laughed in response to the same question: "Actually, I wish Jessica had more time with me and the kids, but I know I can't be so selfish." Of course, the kids were supportive when they heard that their mom wanted to be mayor. I have a couple of kids who want to vote for Jessica, and I'm bothered by that. ”
There were originally six candidates who signed up for the election. But two of them heard that Jessica was also running, and after winning the candidacy, they immediately announced that they would withdraw from the election.
It was two women.
Their reasoning for withdrawing from the election was: "The reason we ran was because we wanted to have a female mayor in Fox, and now Jessica is running. We must admit that she is more capable than we are, and we believe that she is a person of integrity. She is more likely to be elected than we are. We don't want to scatter the votes of women voters. Yes, we hope Jessica wins the election. We believe she can help manage Fox well and bring prosperity to Fox. ”
It has to be said that different candidates have different reasons for running for election, and they all have certain oddities.
In interviews, three other candidates also expressed hope that Jessica would win.
A strong man with a big beard in braids said: "I ran because I wanted more people to recognize the charm of my beard." Running for the election gives me more opportunities to showcase. I'll vote for Jessica, though. ”
Fox was only a small town and didn't have much time for the campaign, so the candidate committee arranged for four candidates to attend several campaign speeches together.
What made Jessica laugh and cry was that it seemed that only the speech she had prepared was about how to manage Fox. Everything else is about your own philosophy about what you're interested in.
In this case. Jessica was directly elected mayor of Fox with 88% of the vote after the first vote.
Because the mayor's position is vacant, Jessica will take office the day after the ballot results are announced.
Link saw Jessica in a black suit and dress looking in the mirror, then walked over with a smile and said, "Madam Mayor, I think you must be the most beautiful mayor ever seen by mankind." He said as he clipped a sapphire chest clip to the chest of her white shirt.
Jessica's dress is less flattering and more capable and serious.
She turned around her husband with her arms around his neck, gave him a hot kiss, and said, "The most beautiful mayor in the history of mankind is your wife!"
Link patted her ass lightly and said, "It's time for us to go." I think the kids will be looking forward to seeing you receive the cheers of the citizens. They must be in a hurry. ”
"I think the citizens are going to work. They didn't seem surprised at all that I had been elected. ”
Jessica was elected mayor of Fox, and the happiest seem to be the children. They had already dressed up in the living room. Link's two sons, Allen wore a small black suit with a light blue shirt and a small red bow tie. Evan was dressed in white, and he was pulling the youngest one who didn't know what to mutter.
Hannah wore her favorite crimson printed princess dress. On his feet was a pair of small black leather shoes. Caitlyn wears a white knee-length doll dress, and apparently she wears white thermal pants.
Link and Jessica came to the living room and said with a smile, "We're leaving!"
When Isabel saw them, she broke free of her brother's hand and rushed towards Jessica. They are a family of seven, and all they need is a zeppelin. Alan is very big brother, carefully gearing up the top of the main door, letting Hannah get into the car, and then helping Caitlin into the car, he looked back at Evan: "Evan, let's get in the car." ”
Evan shook his head and said, "Isabel goes first!"
Jessica smiled as she put her little daughter in the car. Evan jumped in the car and sat down next to his sister. Link didn't know what to say when he saw it, this kid was getting more and more controlled.
Link waited for Alan to get into the car, and then escorted his wife into the car before he got into the car.
As soon as he got into the car, he heard Evan coaxing Isabel: "Isabel, I'm holding you." So that you don't fall. He struggled to hold his sister to his lap.
Even though it was in my own home, it was inevitable that I would encounter deer that suddenly came out of the woods on the way. Link reached out and sat his little daughter on his lap.
Evan is the only one who can't do anything about this daddy who will rob him of his sister. In particular, my sister also likes to stick to daddy. He had no choice but to retreat and pouted to Alan who was sitting next to Link, "Alan, can we change places?"
This little guy also knows how to negotiate with others if he wants to get other people's things.
Alan was already twelve years old, and of course he knew that this younger brother wanted to sit next to Isabel. He smiled and hunched over and stood up and said, "Okay, let's change seats." "He's grown to a little over 1.4 meters.
Evan still pouted and said thank you, then sat down next to Link, and before he sat down, he reached out and took Isabel's hand and said to Link, "Daddy, you have to protect Isabel!"
Link reached out and patted him on the head and said, "Of course Daddy will!" This kid is now so arrogant that he thinks he is the only one who can protect his sister?
Tiger turned back to Link, and only after getting permission did he start the car.
Fox is only a small city, but today is the inauguration ceremony of Fox's new mayor. The streets are lined with colorful flags and American flags as if they were a holiday. Of course, this is also a decision made by the representatives of the citizens. Because they found it to be a great opportunity to showcase Fox — with more journalists and tourists than they could have imagined for the inauguration of the new mayor.
By the time the Link family's car arrived at City Hall, the courtyard outside City Hall was already full of people, many of them Fox citizens and many tourists. Of course, there are quite a few journalists.
Zeppelin stopped on the side of the road in front of the city hall, and Jessica got out of the car first, and the cheers of the citizens in front of the city hall were shocking, and many people held signs with her portrait chanting her name.
Link could swear that wasn't the one he paid for.
Jessica waved to her supporters. He and Link carried the children out of the car, and then led the two children with Link to the city hall. Alan was the eldest child, so he walked in front of Link after Jessica. Behind Link is Tiger and to the left and right are two other bodyguards.
The family walked up to the crowd, and the citizens automatically parted the road. Someone shouted, "Jessica, you can do it, I voted for you!"
Someone else laughed and shouted, "Jessica, thank you for making us have a nice mayor." ”
Jessica held the child in her hand, and could only thank her with a smile on her face and nod her head.
Fortunately, these citizens just shouted slogans in support and were not too crazy. Even the reporters didn't block the road, allowing the Link family to walk to the front of City Hall.
Fourteen citizen deputies were already waiting there. Jessica is swearing-in.
The ceremony is fixed, and the oath is also recited alongside. The ceremony was quickly completed. Amid a burst of cheers, citizen representatives announced Jessica as Mayor of Fox.
Then came Jessica's inaugural speech: "Thank you, thank you to all the citizens who have trusted and supported me. I am thrilled to be Mayor of Fox and excited to have the opportunity to serve all of the citizens of Fox. There are a lot of journalists here today, and this is a small proof that you have chosen me correctly. She said with a smile as she stretched out her palm to the reporters. "My inauguration gave Fox a little bit more of a reputation. ”
After the laughter of the citizens had subsided, she continued to complete her inaugural speech.
