The core content of Wang Lei’s policy program is two: “rebuilding communities” and “economic revitalization”.

Yes, Wang Lei also proposed the plan of "economic revitalization". The economy is the foundation. If Braddock's economy continues to decline, the population of the town will become smaller and smaller, and eventually become a "village". It makes no sense to talk about anything else.

There are many such towns in the United States. Some of them are constantly weakening, and in the end there are only a few households, or even one or two families. Their family meeting is the town council.

However, unlike Hawke's "new neighborhood" plan, Wang Lei proposed that "we should inherit Braddock's long history and fine traditions, and rely on these traditions to seek new development opportunities." He opposed closing the ancient public facilities and tearing down historic buildings.

"That's Braddock's memories and traditions, we can't lose them." Wang Lei waved his arm and ended the entire speech.

In the final stage of his speech, he regained his confidence and acted more and more freely. Everyone began to applaud, but they were not as enthusiastic as before. They were very interested in this topic.

Due to time and occasions, Wang Lei did not make a long speech. His speech required strength. Lincoln's speech at Gettysburg was only two minutes, but it was enough to become a classic.

"Haha, Rex, you said great, we will support you, hurry up and set up a mutual aid club and a club, I can't wait!" The old man Eric, who had a big mouth, was the first to come forward to express his support. He waved his fist and pounded Wang Lei twice.

Wang Lei endured the pain with a smile on his face: "Thank you, I need everyone's support, spiritually, action, and... financially, as everyone knows, the campaign costs a lot."

Wang Lei said frankly that there was no problem with this. Everyone is used to using votes and tickets to support their favorite candidates. When Clinton was running for re-election, Wang Lei received a fundraising call from his Pittsburgh campaign headquarters, and then took out his pocket money and donated five US dollars.

"Haha, no problem, this is ten dollars, please keep it, you must keep working hard!" Eric took out a US dollar bill, and Wang Lei quickly asked Colin to take it and recorded it in the account.

Eric is in his sixties and has retired from his job and relies on government pensions to live. Today he spent ten dollars to buy admission tickets and donated another ten dollars, spending a total of twenty dollars. It is almost his usual weekly expenses, and it is not less.

Others also donated money, ranging from ten yuan to twenty yuan to fifty yuan. Most of them were Brady and Wang Yang's parents each donated 100 US dollars. When the last guest had donated the money, Colin immediately told Wang Lei's ear: There were 530 US dollars in total.

This little money is not enough for the flyer that Hawke sent out on the first day.

"It's not as expected, but it's enough for us to do something!" After seeing off more than a dozen guests, Wang Lei returned to the garden. His friends were still there, waiting for him to blow candles and eat cakes.

"Yes, no matter what, we have some funds." Emily lit the match and lit the candle on the cake: "Lei, make a wish quickly, and then blow off the candle, we are all waiting to eat the cake!"

Everyone knows that there is not much money, especially when compared to Hawk, it will make people desperate, and they don’t want to continue this frustrating topic.

"Haha, OK!" Wang Lei glanced at Emily opposite him. In the swaying candlelight, the girl's youthful face looked very beautiful. He felt the beating in his heart suddenly accelerate, and a strange feeling kept surging on his body.

I am eighteen years old! Wang Lei felt that he seemed to have really grown up. He took a deep breath, then turned his head and looked at the others, his parents, sisters, and best friends. They all patted their hands gently and sang "Happy Birthday".

This is not the birthday party of previous years, it is the most special one. No matter what, everyone is supporting him.

Wang Lei closed his eyes and made a wish silently. After a while, he opened his eyes, suffocated his breath, and blew the candles on the cake. His friends also came up and everyone blew out all the eighteen candles in one breath.

"Papapapapapapapa!" Everyone applauded vigorously and congratulated Wang Lei on a happy birthday. Wang Lei began to split the cake, and then was slapped with cream on the face by Luka. He pounced on it, overturning the tall Luka to the ground, giving him a painful lesson.

After the simple birthday ceremony, everyone was making a fuss for a while, and Wang Lei once again summoned everyone to discuss the election in his bedroom.

"Oh, Rex, you're an adult. Do you want to arrange some special programs tonight?" Luca's body was covered with grass chips, but he couldn't help but joke with Wang Lei.

This time, Wang Lei did not get angry. He smiled and gestured to Luka with a contemptuous move: "Of course, I need to prove the power of adults, so, Luka, you will stay alone later."

"no,no,no! My mother is still waiting at home, I think I should go back soon!" Luca's face turned darker and said with a hurry.

Everyone laughed and made fun of Luca.

Wang Lei waited for a while before clapping his hands to let everyone see: "Okay, it's getting late. Let's talk about it for a long time. We raise 530 US dollars tonight. There is no way to compare this money with the Great Demon King. Of course, we don't need to compare with him. The election has never been compared to who can win everyone's support, but to see who can win everyone's support, so there is nothing to worry about."

"Hawke's actions are crazy, and we have to hurry up. With this money, some of the things we originally planned can officially begin. Guys, come on, let us work together to kill the big devil who burns money crazy. I believe that it will be an unforgettable experience in our lives." Wang Lei said loudly. Although the influence of the speaker's halo has ended, facing his familiar partners, Wang Lei showed his best performance, which made these partners who were a little depressed because the fundraising was not as good as expected.

In addition to today's guests, Colin and the others had to take out their pocket money, especially Wang Hua and Emily, who took out all the pocket money they had saved for many years. But Wang Lei did not ask for it all, he only charged five dollars each.

"Your help in action is the greatest support for me!" Wang Lei said.

With the 400 US dollars given by Hu Shuying and Wang Jiaming, the funds his campaign committee has almost reached nearly 1,000 US dollars. This amount of money is incomparable to Hawk, but he can do some things.

Wang Lei always wanted to find an opportunity to say thank you to Emily alone, but until everyone left, he had no chance - Brady and Donna were waiting outside, as if they were really worried about what Wang Lei, as an adult, would do.

At night, Wang Lei was lying on the bed alone, with Emily's beautiful face in front of her. Her every frown and smile was so beautiful that it made people's heartbeat.

It's really annoying. Is this the price of adulthood? Wang Lei was sadly aware that he actually had insomnia. He simply opened the presidential book and checked out what he had gained today.

Wow, there are so many good things!
