In the security room on the first floor of the shopping mall, there are two patrol officers in black uniforms. Looking at the epaulettes, there is a deputy police chief, an old man in his fifties or sixties. His face is serious, and he has a posture of being distant from others. He also has a scolding tone towards the security guards.
Lu Ming and Jennifer came in. The old man looked over, looked Jennifer up and down, and frowned slightly, "Miss, there are complaints from residents of the community opposite the shopping mall about your advertising poster, which has caused mental oppression to them. Please take it down.
, it’s so dark, I think it’s also unsightly!”
Apparently, the security guard said that the person placing the advertisement would be here soon, so he naturally thought that the two people who came in must be this Western aristocratic lady.
"Ah..." Except for Lu Ming, no one had ever spoken to her in such a harsh manner. Jennifer was startled and said cautiously: "I'm sorry, I, I don't know,..."
After all, she has always been surrounded by many people to protect her, and ordinary people can't talk to her.
Now that he is by Lu Ming's side, he has no protective layer.
Lu Ming frowned slightly, and Yang Yanran, who had been following closely, immediately took two steps forward with a arrogant look on his face, "Pay attention to the way you speak. Where is your ID?"
The old police chief took out his ID, Yang Yanran took it, handed it to Lu Ming with both hands, and stared at the old police chief, "Let me tell you, do you know how many of you the taxes our mall pays in a year can support? We are here
Private buildings have the right to place any advertisements. Is it useful to complain? Do you have a court injunction to remove our advertisements? You are a little stinky patrol, who gave you the courage to tell us to remove our advertisements? "
Obviously, after working in the chairman's secretary's office for almost a year, Yang Yanran is no longer the same Yang Yanran as before. She has greatly improved in knowledge, etc., and she has become more domineering, bullying good and fearing evil.
Of course, the "goodness" she is bullying now may be someone that most people cannot afford to offend.
Lu Ming looked at the ID. The old police chief's name was Xu Sanzhi. The rule of naming for the lower class people of the previous generation was that he should be the third eldest child in the family.
At this time, the old police chief stared at Yang Yanran, "What did you call me?"
"Stinky Foot Patrol" was a scornful name given by the people in the East China Sea when there were first patrols. However, today, the status of patrol police is far different from what it was back then.
"Don't you know what you are?" Yang Yanran's eyes widened.
The old police chief stretched out his hand, looking like he was about to slap Yang Yanran, but something was stuffed into his hand. It was Lu Ming who stuffed his police officer ID card back.
Glancing at the young patrolman behind the old police chief who was looking on and gloating, Lu Ming smiled at the old police chief: "Chief Xu, I've never seen you before, oh, I don't have a business card with me."
Outside the security room, a beautiful girl in a rose-red dress immediately ran in and handed a business card to the old police chief.
Lu Ming pointed at the girl in the red dress. He didn't know her name. There were always a lot of men and women traveling. The male and female affairs officers accompanying them changed like a revolving door, taking turns to be on duty. It was all arranged by the office, or in other words, it was Murong Xuehe.
Arranged by Master Gong.
The security room was too small, except for Uncle Sun, all the entourage stayed outside.
Pointing at the girl in the red dress, "You, follow me from now on..." He glanced at Jennifer and said, "Follow Miss Jennifer."
He looked at Jennifer again and said helplessly: "If you want to find me in the future, tell her that the office will notify her of my schedule. Don't just drive around with a driver. I haven't been pointed at the nose before.
Have you scolded me? Now you have experienced everything, right?"
"Okay!" Jennifer's delicate little face looked a little happy.
Lu Ming thought in his heart, oh, there is such a barrier between a woman and a man. He has only been there for a few days and he can't bear it anymore.
The girl in the red dress was beaming with joy and immediately came to Jennifer's side. She chattered in a Western language and seemed to be introducing herself.
Lu Ming rolled his eyes. The affairs officers in the office seemed to have outstanding academic qualifications. In future generations, the worst would be 985. Hidden dragons and crouching tigers. There are many academic masters. Murong Xue is the best among them, and all of them are fluent.
Western language is the minimum requirement.
Seeing that Jennifer soon became happy by what she said, it seemed that she had heard the word "fifteen" in Western language, and she knew some simple words, including number calculations.
In addition, there is also a faint pronunciation of "aunt", and Western transliterations are used for "aunt".
Maybe this guy calls Jennifer the fifteenth aunt?
"It turns out that you are Lawyer Lu who is running for the third district council member. I didn't expect that you were the direct publisher of the advertisement. I thought it was your supporters who placed it." The old police chief looked at the business card and then looked at Lu Ming.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Yes, this advertisement was submitted by me."
"Lawyer Lu, if you are sincere for the residents of the third district, you should withdraw the advertisement!" The old police chief said sincerely, "Yes, I don't have a court injunction, and I probably won't be able to get an injunction before the end of your campaign.
You have many ways to delay the judge, but if you do this, you will only offend the residents of your district. Moreover, although there is no court injunction, our community can hold an owners meeting and demonstrate in front of the shopping mall. If it gets to this point, it will be very unfair to you.
It’s also a kind of damage to your reputation.”
After a pause, he said, "To tell you the truth, I am also a resident of the community opposite, Lawyer Lu. I have never voted in a parliamentary election, but now, I want to vote against you."
Lu Ming smiled: "Seeing the pictures in the advertisement makes you uncomfortable and you want to oppose me. What if the pictures in the advertisement become real?"
The old police chief laughed: "Lawyer Lu, I am not a three-year-old child. I still know some of your campaign tactics. But there is a black kid in St. Anton Middle School. Lawyer Lu, you have to exaggerate."
Lu Ming nodded: "Many major events in history, when they first happened, most people didn't take it seriously. The so-called fair education plan of St. Anton Middle School will continue to be implemented in the future. Next year, the enrollment number will be expanded. Did you know? If next year
No one has stopped it yet, so you can imagine that the year after tomorrow, the year after tomorrow... and this is just a school. In the future, a large number of foreigners will come into the East China Sea. Have you ever thought about it? The East China Sea has grown from a ruin to an empire.
The richest place, and the fact that we in Central Continent account for the absolute majority of the population is because since we became a free city-state, our laws and regulations, etc., are determined by our people's sentiments. The geographical location is certainly one thing, but over the past two hundred years,
Freedom and openness are another aspect, but from the core, our laws are actually very conservative. Protecting the way to make progress through one's own efforts is one of the essences. Although the class is becoming more and more solidified, there will still be some concessions after all.
The window for the general public to enter the upper floor, even if this window is getting smaller and smaller."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "But what are people like Cao Ying doing? They artificially divide this window into two, and one of them is specially provided for them.
Recognize the vulnerable groups they have labeled, and the windows through which they can branch out will become wider and wider. For them, they will be overflowing with a sense of happiness that they have helped the poor people, and feel that they are compassionate and detached from the problem.
Race, class, and a sense of mission, an alternative kind of equalization of wealth and poverty. However, this kind of equalization of wealth and poverty definitely does not involve the class in which he lives, but is..." After a pause, Lu
Ming smiled: "Chief Xu, in fact, it is to equalize the wealth and poverty of your class, deprive you of opportunities, and give them to the weaker and more sympathetic classes in their eyes to satisfy their emotional needs for a sense of mission."
The old police chief frowned. He understood some words but not others.
"Chief Xu, you can go back and think about what I said. As for this advertisement, I will still keep it. If you can persuade people in the community to demonstrate, that would be great. I happen to have a lot to say to you.
explain."
Lu Ming smiled and stretched out his hand: "Chief Xu, shall we meet again?"
"Okay, okay, Lawyer Lu, goodbye." The old police chief stretched out his hands to shake hands with Lu Ming.
Lu Ming nodded inwardly, he was a stubborn old man, the typical kind of person who respects you a foot, and he respects you a foot.
Moreover, he has a hot temper, and he almost reached out and slapped Yang Yanran just now.
You can see that he is still working as a deputy police chief even though he is about to retire. He just got through it with age.
After all, according to the patrol police rank regulations, ordinary patrol officers who have served for forty years will be directly awarded the title of deputy police chief, which is a kind of commendation to the dedicated elderly patrol officers.
I came to check the billboard, and it was obvious that it was being used as a gun.
Looking at his back, Lu Ming smiled, but this stubborn old man was quite interesting.
…
When Lu Ming returned to the Freedom Building, the second round of consultations had already broken up.
At noon, we invited all the staff in the campaign office to have a working meal. It was obvious that everyone was worried. After all, it was already December 10th, and there were only 10 days left until the local council election voting.
If the election is successful, most of them have a good chance of staying and becoming clerks in the parliamentarian's office. If they fail, they will need to find a new job.
There are three rows of long tables, and the dishes are extremely rich. After all, this office should be the most well-funded office for local council elections. It is said that the political donations to support Lawyer Lu have reached one million levels, but in more than a month, we have experienced
Too many things.
Perhaps, the idea of outsiders entering the political ranks is simply fanciful.
Even for someone as proud as Lawyer Lu.
This is the No. 1 restaurant in the South District of the Liberty Building. It is also the largest restaurant in the South District. It can be used to hold cocktail parties. From the dining table to the decoration, it is very luxurious. There are bright and gorgeous chandeliers hanging high, and the hall is resplendent.
Lu Ming toasted the staff with a round of wine, and drank water himself. He came back to the dark golden velvet round table where the chief seat was, and smiled at Master Gong, "Why are you also dejected?"
Master Gong laughed and said, "This guy Cao Ying is very cunning!"
Indeed, that guy is a natural born politician. He looks polite and likable, but he is extremely clear-headed and knows how to tolerate it. When he got into lawsuits, the outside world gradually began to criticize him, but according to the polls, he was still at 6%.
If the number exceeds 10, he will definitely not agree to any TV debate.
"Where is Chief Murong?" Master Gong looked around and saw that Murong Xue had disappeared since lunch.
Lu Ming smiled. At this time, an affairs officer hurried in, came to Master Gong's side, and whispered something.
Master Gong was startled and looked at Lu Ming: "Boss, Cao Ying just called and agreed to have a TV debate with you on the 12th.
The 12th is the last day of the second week. Originally, the planned TV debate was planned to be held on a certain day in the second week of December.
Lu Ming nodded.
Master Gong smiled bitterly: "You expected everything?" The little eyes blinked, "When it was almost lunch, I heard that Chief Murong was contacting schools in Western States? Is this related to this?"
"Just do your best and obey fate." Lu Ming stood up, "Okay, it seems that you will have a lot of work!"
In the restaurant, word quickly spread that the boss would go on TV with Cao Ying on the 12th, the day after tomorrow, to discuss their campaign policies. To put it bluntly, it was a TV debate.
But there is a vague feeling that the boss wants to attack Cao Ying by supporting the apartheid policy. Generally speaking, Donghai has always prided itself on being the most open and free autonomous city-state. It is fashionable for elites to criticize the imperial apartheid policy. If the boss turns
As for supporting the imperial apartheid policy, I feel that it is a bit out of date and does not conform to the political correctness of the mainstream public opinion atmosphere in the East China Sea.
…
In the office, Lu Ming looked through the program process and the conditions proposed by Cao Ying.
In front of the table, sat several heavyweight program producers and hosts from Kunlun TV.
Political debates over local council elections will appear on television for the first time, to a television audience of 20 million.
In Donghai alone, the number of households with TVs is close to two million.
From the perspective of the entire empire, even TV viewers who have nothing to do with Donghai Beiguan Third District should be very interested in this.
Kunlun Channel's branch in the Imperial Capital hopes to use this as a key battle to further expand Kunlun Channel's influence and ratings in the Imperial Capital.
Even the people closest to Lu Ming might not have thought that, in fact, for Lu Ming, if this TV debate could be held, it would be a big win.
None of the Kunlun TV program producers and presenters sitting in Lu Ming's office knew that the candidate congressman in front of them was actually their big boss behind the scenes.
In order to produce this heavyweight program, Kunlun Station has specially established a public policy program production department.
The four people who came to see Lu Ming were the minister, deputy minister and two hosts of the department.
Minister Relf is a fat old man in his fifties with very impressive qualifications. He is one of the veterans who specializes in political programs.
The deputy minister's surname is Wang. She looks like a very independent and individual woman. She has a beige skirt and short hairstyle. She looks fresh, smart and capable.
Both hosts are men. Today’s political commentary programs rarely see female hosts.
"The other party has too many taboos!" Lu Ming shook his head, "However, I am very satisfied with the flow of your program and the two hosts. I can see that you have put a lot of thought into it."
Ralph breathed a sigh of relief and after in-depth research, he realized that this lawyer Lu was truly a legend in the legal profession.
And, you’re only nineteen years old? Are you kidding me? It’s so blinding.
It’s incredible. Also, at the age of nineteen, he became famous in the legal profession and entered politics?
I feel like this is an alien lost in space, right?
Not quite human.
Such people are usually very eccentric, right? If you don't know, you may be kicked out directly.
However, he didn't expect that he was just not interested in some of Cao Ying's demands, but he was very satisfied with the arrangements made by the Taiwanese side he represented.
Ralph secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said: "Which topics do you want not to be included in the prohibited issues? Please list them down and we will communicate with candidate Cao."
"Well, thank you for your hard work. As for other matters, our Chief Murong will communicate with you directly!"
Murong Xue, who was sitting next to her, stood up and made a gesture of invitation.
Lu Ming looked at the backs of these people and shook his head. Although he had already given Taiwanese opinions on how to do this program and the general idea, the process arrangement and so on were still not satisfactory. However, due to the limitations of the times, he could not
Forcing them to have the acumen of a 21st century producer and presenter.
If they hadn't taken this into consideration, they would have been scolded to death.
Of course, this is from the perspective of a TV station owner, not a debater.
