Earl Warren's voice was full and bright, and Evan felt that in this relatively closed space, even if he didn't need a microphone, everyone in the venue could hear what he said clearly. Perhaps, this kind of speaking ability can be regarded as a standard for outstanding politicians.

Governor Warren's speech was not long, about ten minutes before and after. In addition to the auspicious words at the beginning and end, the content can be divided into three parts in a nutshell: First, thank all walks of life for winning the war for the United States; Second, explain the plan of the California government next year, including the proposal to form the California Aviation Commission, focusing on improving housing and providing vocational training for more people; Third, in response to the intensifying labor-management conflict, the relevant parties in California called on relevant parties to put aside their disputes and try to reach consensus through negotiations, so that the wave of strikes cannot spread to California and affect California's social order.

Governor Warren's speech received warm applause from the audience. Of course, some people were sincere, while others were not seen.

After listening to the governor's speech, Evan vaguely understood the real intention of the banquet tonight.

The three parts of Warren talked about, the real focus is the least focused on labor-management conflict.

Less than half a year after World War II, due to the decrease in wages and rapid rise in prices, organized strikes have been staged in many places. Among them, the oil workers' strikes in October and November have not yet ended. The number of auto workers' strikes has been the most powerful. The former has reached 43,000, while the latter has reached 220,000. Affected by this, General Motors' factory has been shut down to date.

Under the influence of these huge strikes, more and more workers "resurrected" to raise wages, and California has naturally suffered some impact.

The strikes can indeed unite relatively vulnerable workers to achieve their desired goals, but they have a great impact on society and economy. It is precisely because of this that I am worried that California's social and economic order will be destroyed that Warren held this Christmas dinner specifically, hoping to take this opportunity to convey his attitude to all parties to promote consensus.

This is why two almost opposing organizations, the American Manufacturers Association and the Labor Federation, appear in one place at the same time.

Governor Warren mentioned the government plan for the coming year is exactly the "bait" he put forward to promote the joint settlement of labor and capital.

The so-called improvement of housing actually implies that the government will increase investment in public works, which is good news for entrepreneurs, capitalists, and bankers.

Through public works, the economy can be driven, and business owners can make money, so there is room for raising workers' wages.

As for providing vocational training, it means that the government will increase its education expenditure, which is of course a good thing for workers.

Thinking about this, Evan secretly gave a big praise to the governor in his heart.

"If this goal can be achieved tonight, I think the result of next year's governor election will be a foregone conclusion."

As Evan guessed, after the governor's speech, several famous California bigwigs came to the stage and said a few words. Most of them expressed support for the governor's proposal.

The speech session ends, and then enters the "free activity" session.

This stage is still important for those who "spend money". Whether they can get in touch with an important person depends on this. Once they succeed, it may be too exaggerated to describe it as a success, but "changing destiny" is absolutely appropriate. If they fail, it means that the time and money tonight are in vain.

For flowers and angels like Virginia and Dora who are used to embellish dinners, it is a real free time. As long as you don’t leave casually, they can do whatever they want. They can get together with a few sisters, chatting, and talking about which young guy in the gossip venue is the most handsome, while tasting the freshly made cakes. From time to time, there will be successful young people who think they are handsome and come uninvited. After a "funny" conversation, if someone looks at each other, the couple will leave the group and continue to develop on the other hand.

However, as two "golden flowers" at the banquet, no one has been able to enter their "blue eyes" from beginning to end.

Not only is Virginia's "age" flower entangled by "bees", but also Dora and Dorothy, the buds of the flower are no exception.

Now, they were entangled by a little boy who was almost the same as them.

The little boy was holding a small plate with donuts and showed kindness to the two sisters: "Dorah, Dorothy, I brought you a donut, it's delicious..."

Dora seemed very annoyed by this little man with a skewed head, and didn't look at the snacks he brought. He twisted his head and wanted to pull Dorothy to find food by himself. Dorothy hid behind Dora timidly, pursed his lips, and held one hand tightly in his chest.

The two sisters were leaving, but the little boy didn't want to let go, and he flexibly blocked Dora.

Dora raised her eyebrows unhappily and screamed: "Jerry, get out of the way. I don't want what you have in your hands."

The little boy Jerry asked strangely: "Why, aren't donuts delicious?"

Dora said in a sharp tone: "No, no matter how delicious the donut is, I won't want it. It's just because it passes through your hands."

"Dora, I'm very sad to say that." Jerry said, his pitiful gaze turned to Dorothy, "Dorthy..."

Jerry's words were interrupted by Dora again before he could say them. "It's not only me, but Dorothy's thoughts are the same. Jerry, stay away from us."

After saying that, Dora pulled Dorothy around Jerry. This time they did not walk to the self-service area where they were snacking, but went over the middle area and towards the dining table area.

Both of their brothers were there.

Robert's voice was hoarse and he didn't want to speak, so he never moved his seat since he took the food and sat down.

As for Evan, it was purely because he was too lazy to move. The plate in front of him was full of food, as if he was about to eat enough.

The girls passing by looked at each other and smiled after seeing it, which made Robert, who was sitting next to him, feel a little embarrassed, but he has no choice but to sit and sulk.

Dora and Dorothy wanted to stay away from Jerry, but they didn't expect Jerry was a rock-solid child. Although he couldn't send the donut out, he was not discouraged and threw away the donut and followed him.

"Dora, Dora, wait for me, let's play together..."

Dora and Dorothy quickly walked to Robert. Dorara pulled the corner of Robert's clothes, then pointed his little hand at Jerry behind him, and said nothing.

Robert looked at the expressions of Dora and Dorothy, and then looked at the little boy who was yelling all the way, and knew it. Robert did not do anything, but turned his head and pulled the hem of Evan's suit like Dora. After Evan looked at him, he pointed to Dora and the excited little boy respectively.

Evan immediately frowned, put down his knife and fork, and stood up.

Jerry came to Dora's place a few steps in front of him. Just as he was about to say hello, a figure from a high school suddenly flashed in front of him. The person who came looked at Jerry with a cold eyes and said to him in a gloomy tone: "Young man, if you want to talk to my baby, you have to ask me if I agree or not!"

Jerry was frightened by him and his body was stiff, as if he was in an iceberg, but he still asked with a trembling trembling: "Then do you agree?"

Evan said word by word: "Where are you... saying...?"

"Don't agree? Well... goodbye!" After saying that, Jerry disappeared.

"Tsk!" Successfully settled Jerry, Evan sorted out his collar and felt a sense of accomplishment.

"Evan, you're too serious about a child!"

At this moment, Carl, who suddenly appeared, said with a smile.

Evan waved his hands at Dora and Dorothy, who were smiling and smiling, and replied, "What if you don't be serious? That's my sister."
