Chapter 40: Strong Rebound
In addition to a few organizations such as the Public Library Council, Braddock Clint has more than 30 bureaus, and the councils and committees work in the town hall houses, including the police station and the tax office.
The town employees did not see the news on TV, but they soon learned what happened at the council meeting, and the new town mayor wanted to streamline government agencies and eliminate half of the government employees.
"What did he think about that little brat wants to cut us off? Does he only know how to attract attention and please those damn media?" From their standpoint, almost everyone's first reaction was to complain.
"Mike, I've said a long time ago that kid is not reliable."
"Oh my god, I voted for him, but he was so ungrateful to us."
They originally wanted to see Wang Lei's joke, but they didn't expect that they themselves became jokes.
"Are we going to watch the little brat drive us away? No, we are going to find him and ask him why he cut us and why he? He is only eighteen years old and he doesn't understand the work we do."
After answering several questions raised by the reporters, Wang Lei asked them to leave the conference room on the grounds of affecting work. The reporters were anxious to publish articles or dig out more exciting content. After looking for Brady and the residents who were attending the audience asked a few questions, they left with satisfaction.
Things are about to turn into a fierce conflict, some are excited, some are happy, some are worried, and some are angry. Brady walked over and patted Wang Lei on the shoulder: "Rex, you are very courageous, but this is just the beginning. The staff under your command are the biggest resistance. You have to ensure the normal operation of the government, otherwise it will be very troublesome."
"I know, I moved their cheese, but I have to return the stolen cheese to them." Wang Lei nodded. He understood very well that this was just the beginning.
"Rex, if you need anything, you can call me." Cynthia also stood up, holding a Hermes white clutch in her hand, her movements were elegant and her gentle voice always felt inspired.
Wang Lei nodded to her: "Thank you."
Jeff spread his hands and shrugged: "Okay, I hope nothing happens. This will not be able to open, so I'll leave first."
Jeff, Brady, and Cynthia left one after another, and the residents who were listening also took the opportunity to come over. Someone gave Wang Lei a thumbs up: "Rex, good."
Someone opened his arms and gave Wang Lei a warm hug: "Don't worry, we all support you."
Wang Lei patted his back: "Thank you, I am the mayor of Min., so whoever moves your cheese will move his cheese."
"Rex, you are too impulsive and you don't consider the consequences of doing so at all. You will make the town turbulent." Not everyone supports Wang Lei. Some town residents only want a peaceful life. How many people the government uses does not have an intuitive feeling for them. On the contrary, if the government operates in a chaotic manner, some things may become more troublesome.
Wang Lei smiled: "Sarah, Braddock is like a patient who has been sick for a long time. Without a large dose of special medicine, it cannot be cured. As for turmoil and chaos, as long as we unite, they will not happen."
"Do you think you are a doctor? You don't know anything. You don't know how hard Brooke and his team work every day. He is the pillar of the family. What should we do if he loses this job?" A black woman in her forties rushed to Wang Lei and shouted to him.
"Gabriela, don't worry, not every employee will lose his job. As long as he does things seriously and does not get a salary in vain, we will definitely retain his position and even undertake more important jobs. Brooke has contributed to Braddock, and I and the residents of Braddock will not forget him." Wang Lei patiently explained that he is the elected mayor, and his power is given to him by the voters. In front of them, he not only has no privileges, but his only responsibility is to serve them.
"Really?" Gabriela's eyes were red, with tears in her eyes. She was sad about her poverty and humbleness. She was really worried that her husband would lose his job.
"Yes, I promise." Wang Lei nodded vigorously: "I just hope Braddock gets better. You, Brooke, thinks so too, right?"
"Don't believe him, he's a liar, politicians are all liars. Can you guarantee that every employee who has lost his job can find a job?" A white woman in her thirties and forties suddenly grabbed Gabriela and yelled at Wang Lei.
Wang Lei knew her. She was one of the members of Hawke's women's brigade. She once insulted him in person as a little brat. She did not attend the meeting just now, but broke in after hearing the news.
Wang Lei frowned. Seeing this woman, he felt so disgusting that he wanted to vomit, but he had to endure it. The other party was a citizen and he was the elected mayor: "I'm sorry, I really can't make such a guarantee. In my opinion, everyone's job opportunities should be achieved through their own efforts, and the government's responsibility is only to ensure that everyone has equal opportunities."
"It's equality of opportunities, not gaining without effort."
"Haha, what did you do for nothing? You did nothing and didn't know anything. Why should you point fingers at other people's work? You little brat, slim-eyed guy..." The woman shouted wildly, and she even rushed over with her teeth and claws. Wang Lei quickly flashed to the side, and she fell to the ground, then sat there unable to get up, kicking her feet, slapped the ground with both hands, crying and making a fuss.
"**!" Wang Lei slapped his forehead. He could hardly help but go wild. If anyone said he was a slim man in school, he would definitely beat him so that even his mother could not recognize him. But now, he could only keep telling himself: I am the mayor, I am the mayor of Braddock, and I cannot hit her.
He found that he still thought things too simple. The parliament opposed it, employees went on strike, and even the government temporarily stopped operating. He had thought about all possible situations and planned a response strategy, but he really didn't expect this kind of nonsense like being stupid.
He originally thought that no matter how loud the opposition was or how fierce the boycott was, he mastered absolute justice, represented the interests of most residents, and did things according to the law, plus a little political means, all opposition was just a paper tiger, and the final victory would definitely belong to him.
However, when facing a shrew, you cannot beat or scold her, and let her make trouble here? That would turn Braddock into a joke, and it would also affect the work of the town hall, threatening his prestige and progress of his work.
"Her husband Rashad is the director of the Reconstruction Bureau." Someone next to him said in a sarcastic tone.
Wang Lei immediately understood why this woman was so crazy. The Reconstruction Bureau was the repetitive function he clearly mentioned. The department with no achievements would definitely be in the ranks of laid-offs.
Want to use this method to stop me? A shrew wants me to shake it? Wang Lei sneered in his heart. His determination was not shaken. Even if he encounters something more ridiculous, even if he is in danger, he will continue to work.
His determination is as solid as a rock.
The most important thing now is to solve the problem in front of you, and then use thunder to knock all the little ones back to their original form. Wang Lei looked at the woman on the ground coldly, then looked at the crowd watching the fun in the conference room, some of whom were standing on his side and supporting him to eliminate government redundant staff.
"I reiterate that nothing is more important than the well-being of all residents of Braddock. Every cent of the income from the government budget comes from taxpayers and must be used in real places. The government hires staff to provide the best service to residents. This is not a welfare home, and the salary paid to employees is not unemployment insurance. They should use it in places where they need it more."
"No one, no behavior, can shake my determination." Wang Lei threw down this sentence, turned around and left. He was not easy to use any means to this unreasonable crazy woman, but he had other ways.
Behind him, some residents couldn't help but applaud him for what he had just said: "Okay!"
"Well said!"
“The taxes we pay should not be abused.”
"Small eyes, stop me!" The woman was shocked by Wang Lei's words. When she realized that, Wang Lei had already walked out of the conference room. She was rushing to get up from the ground and wanted to chase after him, but was pulled by other residents watching.
"Tamika, you're too selfish, the government's money belongs to all of us."
