Chapter 1175 (1/2)
On a sunny day in early April in Chicago, hundreds of people gathered in front of the two buildings of Littman media and a + records. There was a small temporary stage directly opposite them, with the lectern in front and a row of American flags waving in the back.
”Mr. Peter flock, governor of Illinois.”
Sloane had just finished her speech when she introduced the governor out loud, and the flash and camera moved to the center of the front row.
Peter buckled up his suit, stood up, laughed and waved to the left, right and left with a smile. The tall man had been governor for nearly four years, and his style became more and more sufficient. He took his time to shake hands with little Daley, mayor of Chicago, and Underwood, the whip, not far away. Then
As if there was an accident, Alicia, his wife, was sitting still, not aware of everything.
Peter had to continue to wave to the people to resolve the embarrassment and quickly bent over Alicia's ear to say something.
Alicia then recollected, got up and hugged her husband. At the same time, she stood side by side to accept people's applause. The two hugged little Daley and Underwood.
”Thank you, Ms. Sloan...”
Peter put his arm around Alicia's shoulder and went down to the stage, kissing her face to face, and openly showed his love. Just under Alicia's tender eyes, Peter trotted onto the stage, took over the microphone in Sloan's hand, and began to make a long speech.
”Hee hee.”
Song ya, who was hiding in the president's office on the ground floor of a + records, watched the whole scene, and was amused by the couple's small movements. ”Why didn't your father come?”
He put down his telescope and asked Melissa, the assistant behind him.
”He's busy with governor flock's campaign. He's gone to the countryside.”
Melissa replied. Her father, Eli, is Peter's chief of staff in the governor's office and is also an election year campaign manager.
”Is Peter OK this year?” Song Ya asked.
”Well, it should be stable.”
The post of governor of this term is more important than that of the previous one, because the term of office will span the whole number of ten years, and the constituencies of the whole state will be re divided in 2000, which is a matter of life and death for both parties.
In 1812, the governor of Massachusetts first discovered the mystery of the election game. This method of using the number game to keep the majority of voters in the constituencies to maintain an advantage was ironically called Jerry salamander. Nearly 200 years later, this method still works, and with the help of scientific techniques such as statistics, the federal system has become more sophisticated The governor with great autonomy is the key person from the beginning to the end.
Peter has hardly solved any practical problems in the past four years, but his good-looking appearance and iron fist style are satisfactory to the voters, and the support rate is also moderate. The donkey party does not want to take the risk of replacing people in front of the battle. However, Illinois is the territory of the donkey party. As long as there is no big trouble in the primary election, it is not a big problem for him to be re elected.
”That's good.”
Because Peter sent the National Guard to the city to ”suppress the rebellion” when he was shot unconscious. As the gold Lord and bitter master, song Ya deliberately avoided appearing in the same frame with him, otherwise, some black people at the bottom would be disappointed.
Sloan, Linda, Gordon and other leading political and business figures from all over the country who were invited to attend the ceremony.
He also raised his telescope to observe the mayor, Daley. Nearly four years later, the relationship between him and Peter has become more and more delicate. For example, after he was shot, Peter publicly accused little Daley of failing to maintain order in downtown Chicago in time. There were also some small conflicts and tosses of power, public opinion and party support, and election funds. Peter became stronger and stronger Potential, small Dali hidden needle, two people gradually away, seemingly inseparable.
Of course, senior politician little Daley's facial expression management is a master. Song Ya saw that he always kept smiling, and from time to time, he clapped, laughed, and nodded his head in response to Peter's speech.
It seems that Daley, the real king of Chicago, will have to endure Peter for the next four years.
, because of Melissa's identity, song Ya make complaints about her.
Little Daley and Underwood had spoken long or short before. Peter said it was his turn to preacher, politician and black equal leader Jesse Jackson.
In any case, the two buildings and their surrounding facilities, high-end jobs in the media and record industry, suburban development, taxes, and the long-term appreciation of surrounding real estate are all good places for politicians to come and ask for credit. Everyone is talking about how hard they worked to persuade investors to put the company's headquarters in their own state, city or city Constituency.
With the end of Jesse Jackson's passionate sermon style speech, the scene broke out the most enthusiastic applause.
Song Ya saw Sloan begin to call on reporters, let them shift positions, ready to visit the Littman media headquarters building with the audience politicians.
Peter and Alicia, Underwood and Claire, as well as little Daly, were laughing and talking, and walked into the building opposite, surrounded by cameras and flashlights.
”No more to watch.”
Song Ya put the telescope on the boss's desk.
”It shouldn't be long.” Melissa picked up the schedule. ”Peter flock and his wife will be here early. We can go downstairs in 15 minutes.””Well.”
Song ya, the big gold master who sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, nodded.
”Hey, Mr. governor, Mrs. flock.”
When she went down on time to meet the couple who had left the reporter, song Ya was smiling and said, ”take you to visit?”
”OK.”
