Chapter 57: The Great Reversal of the Situation
"Well said, Rex, we support you!" Derek, an old man in his sixties, shouted. He was retired, without a job, had very little monthly pension, and without the public welfare provided by the government, his quality of life would decline a lot. Of course, he supported the government to increase welfare.
"Well, taxpayers' money cannot be wasted."
"Money should be used on the poor." Rachel and others also agreed.
"Oh, these poor people are so cheap that they were bought by the little boy with a little favor." Semony shouted in pain in her heart. She, Jesse Brown and others were looking for residents who were very sensitive to welfare. Only they would feel angry and excited after hearing that Wang Lei was going to cut welfare, and then took to the streets to protest.
But they did not expect that Wang Lei would put forward a streamlining organization and then use the saved expenses to use the big bait for welfare. These people heard that the benefits will not only not be less, but will also increase, and it also sounds very credible, and they will immediately forget the original intention of the parade.
"Rex, I support you. We should not believe those conspiracies, being manipulated by conspiracies." A black man in his thirties suddenly raised the protest card in his hand and smashed it hard to the ground. The wooden card immediately split.
He smashed it twice, then threw the unrecognizable wooden sign on the ground and kicked it: "Haha, it's clean now, Rex, you are a good boy, you usually know how to help others. I believe you will make our lives better."
"Yes, Brooke, this is also my goal, and I will work hard to achieve them." Wang Lei nodded with a smile. As long as the residents can support him, he is confident of doing anything well.
"Bang!" Others also followed Brooke's appearance and smashed the protest cards in their hands. These cards were not their own, but were provided to them by someone, which seemed to make them believe that this was indeed a conspiracy.
"Oh, my god!"
Semony couldn't help but moaning in pain. These guys were so mean.
Because time was tight, they did not mobilize many people, but they also found some opponents of Wang Lei, such as the women's assist team who failed in the election.
According to their plan, when Wang Lei wanted to explain and clarify, these women would still protest regardless of the situation, leaving him unreasonable, including those cripple people.
They never expected that as soon as Wang Lei appeared, he beat the cripple's boss Udunis. Not only did he beat the cripple away, but he also made the women afraid to make trouble.
So, Wang Lei could calmly explain his true thoughts and make their conspiracy go bankrupt.
There were more than a hundred people gathered at the entrance of the town hall, except for those protesters and reporters, and some residents who joined the fun.
The reporters were excited to record everything, which was really a rare, ups and downs. Some even noticed that behind this parade, there were some inside stories they didn't know.
"Hi, Rex, I just heard you say the word conspiracy. I want to know, what kind of conspiracy is this, and whose conspiracy is it?" Devin, a reporter from the Pittsburgh Post who succeeded Rachel, is a white young man in his twenties. He heard that he admires Rachel very much, so he always seems very enthusiastic about Braddock and Wang Lei, because Rachel is also very concerned. This is the news she discovered and reported for the first time.
"Yes, I'm sure someone has joined forces in secret. They want to embarrass me and even kidnapped the entire Braddock because of this." Wang Lei nodded and said loudly.
The reporters were always interested in the conspiracy, so they immediately surrounded them and rushed to ask: "Who are they?"
"Why are you so sure?"
"What kind of conspiracy?"
Wang Lei raised his hand and pressed down, signaling everyone to be quiet: "Order, please pay attention to order. There are no policemen in Braddock today."
"Yes, I'm pretty sure."
"No matter when, the police station should not go on strike. This is stipulated by American laws, and every American should know. Moreover, I never understand the reason for their strike. Yesterday I told them that if Braddock only has one department, it must be the police station, because there are always people in our world who take advantage of opportunities and try to seek personal benefits through illegal means." Wang Lei waved his arm suddenly.
"However, they went on strike, and I don't know why. Without any negotiations, no demands, no omens, and even no sound, they went on strike."
"Is this a normal strike? Anyone with a normal mind can see the tricks."
"Dewen, what do you think?" Wang Lei asked suddenly.
"Uh, you're right, a normal strike shouldn't be like this." Devin frowned helplessly. He couldn't say that he didn't see it, so wouldn't he become a person with abnormal thinking?
This is true. Such a strike is indeed abnormal and full of conspiracy.
"Yes, conspiracy, this is a conspiracy." Brooke shouted angrily, some people encouraged them to demonstrate, and some people organized abnormal strikes. Hearing what Wang Lei said, combined with what they encountered, they felt increasingly used themselves, and some people used them to deal with a mayor who planned to increase their welfare.
They felt that they had been fooled, and the anger they had when they participated in the parade had turned the gun head from Wang Lei and pointed it at the conspirator.
"Damn it!" Semony felt scared when she saw the excited crowd and planned to leave here first. She had just turned around, but saw Marquis and Jeff Smith who were rushing to come.
"Oh, Semony, what's going on?" Jeff Smith asked loudly.
Semony had to stop, and she seemed to see a little hope again: "Residents protested Rex's reckless policy..."
"But why doesn't it look like it?" Jeff reached out and pointed at Wang Lei. What he saw was that Wang Lei was giving a speech to the gathering crowd, and then everyone responded enthusiastically instead of protesting.
"The little boy deceived them, and he said he would send them all the money saved by streamlining the organization..." Semony said.
"Oh, how could he say that?" Jeff was stunned.
Marquis glared at Semony coldly: "Semony, you're talking nonsense."
"Semoni, are you making trouble again?" Marquis and Jeff seemed to be familiar with Semoni's style and immediately raised questions.
"Oh, I don't..." Semony tried to explain, but her expression betrayed her with a hurry.

ps: The day before yesterday, my father-in-law who was doing business in another place came back, and my mother-in-law went back. The baby was at home and had no time to write during the day. I went to my father-in-law's house to drink at night. I drank too much, so I got up and wrote this chapter first. I apologized to everyone. If I have a baby at home, writing is always unstable. Please understand it first. In the future, the baby will be taken care of by my mother-in-law, and the situation will be better. I will definitely use stable updates to ask everyone for support.
