Chapter 16: Speeches (1)

With an overwhelming campaign of posters and spontaneous gossip from the public, the weekend has finally arrived. Since more than 6 o'clock in the morning, container trucks have arrived around the renovated Sigma Building. The entire building was re-cleaned in just a few days, and although it looked a little shabby, the graffiti on the walls was completely invisible. T-shirts of different styles and sizes were removed from the car by the staff, neatly stacked aside, while dozens of mobile food trucks were parked on the other side, and the dining cars were also surrounded by simple tables and chairs.

There is also a large rostrum in the square in front of the Sigma Building, and all kinds of sound equipment are neatly arranged. Countless people are busy in this square, as prosperous as the rising sun.

And the protagonist of this large-scale rally, Dad, is nervously preparing in the background, muttering in his mouth, and looking at the manuscript in his hand from time to time. Bang, a slender hand slapped on his shoulder, scared him a little, turned around with an angry face and was about to scold, seeing the person behind him clearly, Dad immediately nodded and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, why did you come here so early." ”

Li looked at his father with interest, smiled and said, "Anyway, it's nothing, come and see the preparations, what's the matter, you haven't memorized it yet?" "No, it's not, it's memorized." Dad sneered, "I'm just a little nervous, I'm afraid that something will leak in a while." "Haha, come on." Li took his father to the window, asked him to look at the black people who came to the square in twos and threes, and said to him, "Look at them, you have been in the United States for more than ten years, and you have been in contact with them, I think you know them better than others, are they really that bad, are they really so hopeless?" I think every race has its strengths and weaknesses, but no one gives them the opportunity to show their strengths. You are different, you understand them, you don't discriminate against them, and you don't have to lead them to fight for any rights like those so-called human rights fighters, you are just giving them a chance, a chance to live a little better, a little happier. You have been working in our sect all these years, and you should have fully understood our teachings, which may not make them rich, but will they not be able to get them out of the way they are now? And I think you have a great talent for getting along with these people, it's talent. Now, with such an opportunity for you to show your talent, don't you want to stand on a higher stage? It's not just their chance, it's yours too. ”

With Li's words, Daddy's eyes were firm, and the speech in his hand was also crumpled into a ball of waste paper by him, he looked at the black people below and nodded: "Yes, Mr. Li, I understand, you are right, this is their opportunity, and it is also mine, we should all have the right and opportunity to pursue a better life." Daddy turned his head and looked at Li with a hot gaze, "Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Mr. Li, you are our guide." ”

Li smiled and shook his head: "I am just your guide, and you will be their guide, this is your glory, go, today is your glorious day." ”

As time went by, gradually, there were more and more people in the square, and a big white fat policeman, while wiping the sweat on his head, hurriedly ran to the second floor and came to Li: "Huh, huh, Mr. Li, there are too many people coming, we don't have enough manpower, it's very dangerous here, you better leave first." "I can't stop scolding in my heart, these rich bastards, they have nothing to do in this evil place, these niggers may make trouble at any time. After the belly was finished, the big fat man's eyes couldn't stop glancing at Jessica, who was snuggled next to Lee, and the squinting eyes made her frown, and quietly flicked a stream of powder on him.

Li watched the two groups of black people with old grudges in the crowd scuffle, and the policeman next to him only dared to look at it from a distance and did not dare to step forward, smiled, did not look at the big fat man, and said lightly: "It's okay, Sheriff Blake, you can just stay around with your people, as for the security at the scene, my security guards will maintain it." The fat man Blake was stunned for a moment, and his eyes couldn't help but look downstairs. At the scene of the conflict below, several strong men in the crowd wearing the same style of clothing passed through the crowd watching the excitement next to them to the battle, and dragged the troublemakers to the outside of the field with one punch, and the fierce form and style immediately calmed the scene, the black people are not stupid, at a glance, they know that these people are not government people, they act unscrupulously, and at this time they are looking for death if they make trouble again.

Sergeant Blake swallowed and spitted, looked at the black and white yin-yang fish logo on the security guards, immediately understood the identity of Li and them, muttered a few words, and quietly walked downstairs to order his subordinates.

Finally, when the time came, Daddy tidied up his suit and walked onto the rostrum. Clearing his throat, he spoke into the microphone and began his life-changing speech in his deep voice. "Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. First of all, let me introduce myself, my name is Derek. Day, you can call me Derek. Some friends may know me, here I want to apologize to the friends who know me, when I came to the United States, English is not very good, so tell everyone that my name is 'dad', in fact, this word in Chinese means father, I am sorry, this name you have called me for a long time, although I am very cool, but you still don't call me that. ”

There was a slight commotion in the crowd, but everyone still gave the humorous guy a tolerant applause. Dad waited for the applause to stop, and continued with a straight expression: "Inviting everyone here today, I want to discuss with you a problem, a problem that has been around us since our fathers. What is our life like now, why do we live this life, and can we change our lives? From the founding of the United States to its independence and even to the present becoming a powerful country, we blacks and Chinese are everywhere, but now, how are we living? Violence, drugs, crime, still surround us, surround our children."
