money trouble

Chapter 734 Invitation

Wu Qian's identity is rather special and sensitive. If he is an out-and-out businessman from the United States, then he does not need to be so troublesome and cautious to meet Karma Harrison.

Because of his particularly sensitive status, he needs to be very, very careful, so as not to be caught by Kama Harrison's political opponents and make a big fuss.

After hearing Rosalind's arrangement, Wu Qian was very satisfied.

Choosing the meeting place in the apartment building where Karma Harrison is now renting can well avoid many suspicions, at least the reporters who "wait" outside the apartment building will not know at all.

He took a sip of the cocktail, then handed the glass to Rosalind, and said, "I reward you with a glass of wine. After drinking, go to rest. You have worked hard these two days."

Rosalind took the cocktail with a smile, raised her neck and drank it, put down the glass and was about to leave the room, but when she put the glass down, her wrist was caught, obviously, she couldn't leave.

The next morning, Kansas City was still sunny and sunny, and the temperature in early winter could be maintained at [-] to [-] degrees, which was a very comfortable climate.

At [-]:[-] in the morning, the sun shines on the Liberty Monument Square in Kansas City. It can be seen that the whole square is crowded with people. Many voters who support Karma Harrison gather here holding banners, waiting for Ms. Harrison's speech. The speech begins.

Among the crowd, there was a teenager wearing a cowboy hat, the brim of which was pulled down very low, perhaps because of the glare of the sun, the teenager not only wore a cowboy hat, but also a pair of sunglasses.

If you observe carefully, you can find that there are several strong men standing around the boy, but these strong men are disguised as Harrison's supporters, holding banners of support, and blending into the crowd, but in fact their attention has been focused on on the boy.

This young man disguised as a western cowboy was naturally Wu Qian who came to join in the fun. According to the original plan, he should be waiting in the apartment, but he wanted to experience the atmosphere of the campaign speech for himself.

The main characters hadn't appeared yet, and Wu Qian looked up at the landmarks of Kansas City.

The Liberty Monument was erected shortly after the end of World War I with funds raised by the Kansas government.

The monument has the architectural style of ancient Egyptian revival. Elements such as saw-cut granite, bronze pattern, travertine and terrazzo are harmoniously intertwined, making every corner solemn and solemn. It seems that every heavy brick and stone is telling people what the predecessors did The price paid for freedom.

The Freedom Monument is said to be a "monument", but it is actually a building nearly 70 meters high. People can climb to the top of the monument to have a bird's-eye view of Kansas City.

Wu Qian raised his head to look at the top of the stele. He wanted to go up to the top floor to have a look, but it was obviously not the right time.

The base of the monument has been expanded to include a cutting-edge technology museum and Edward Jones Research Center covering an area of ​​9000 million square meters.

The themed gallery "The World War, 1914-1919" shows visitors the detailed history of World War I for a long time, including surviving original documents, film and television materials, tank weapons, and six trench models reconstructed to the original size.

In one of the gallery's drawing rooms, Kama Harrison's campaign was in full swing.

"Ms. Harrison, the invited media has arrived..."

"Ms. Harrison, spare microphone equipment has been installed on your coat, please be careful in a moment..."

"Ms. Harrison, here are the props you need for your speech..."

The staff of the campaign team are busy, and Harrison is also not easy. She is sitting in front of a makeup mirror, and two professional makeup artists are doing her makeup.

On different occasions, facing different groups, different makeup needs to be matched, ranging from the style of clothing to the light and darkness of the corners of the eyebrows and eyes, which are quite particular. How can we better resonate with supporters and "swingers"? These are all knowledge.

Kama Harrison was sitting on a chair and was reciting the final speech with the prepared speech.

Speech without a script is the basic quality of a candidate. If you have to go on stage with a stack of speeches, the score will be lowered in an instant, making voters think that the candidate on the stage is giving an impromptu speech, which is the greatest success.

The seemingly chaotic temporary office, in fact, everything is going on in an orderly manner.

"Ms. Harrison, it's 55:[-] now, you can start preparing to enter the venue."

The staff reminded.

Kama Harrison took a last look at the speech, raised her head and stared at herself in the mirror, took a deep breath and stood up, put the speech on the chair, picked up the suit jacket carefully prepared by the staff, and put it on carefully , and then walked towards the gate.

Under the warm winter sun, Wu Qian stood in the crowd and listened to the chatter of the people around him. The noisy voice contained too much content, but because it was too noisy, he couldn't separate out all the useful information.

In short, the people who can come here are all supporters of Karma Harrison, and everyone comes with "sincerity". After the speech, there will be a fundraising, which is to reflect "sincerity" link.

Support and sincerity are really not just words, the expression of sincerity is donation, and the expression of support is voting!

The noisy crowd suddenly fell silent. Wu Qian knew that the protagonist should be on stage. He looked towards the high platform in the distance, and seven or eight people walked out from the gate at the bottom of the monument. The first one was Kama Harrison.

Rosalind came very early. She woke up before Wu Qian woke up. After tidying up lightly, she came to the Freedom Monument Square. Standing in the front row, she stood on tiptoe and looked back. With a glance, he spotted the boss very accurately.

And Wu Qian, who was looking carefully at Karma Harrison, also saw Rosalind and found that she was also wearing a cowboy hat, and the two nodded to each other.

"Hello, hey, go..."

On the stage, Kama Harrison greeted the voters in the audience with a very natural smile, and the speech officially began.

"I stand here today in front of the Freedom Monument built after the end of World War I, a century after the end of World War I, but our (minority) 'battle' continues, immigrant brothers of all nationalities, of all colors My sisters, I know very well the current situation of your life on this continent."

"In the United States today, four out of ten children of color live in poverty, and the unemployment rate of ethnic minorities is as high as 40.00%. This is a number that makes countless people distressed!"

"What scares me even more is that this ratio is slowly rising every quarter..."

The content of campaign speeches is very complex, involving many fields and all aspects of people, but the purpose remains the same, basically centering on economics and trade, public security, medical care, education, environmental protection, gun control and immigration.

Kama Harrison’s passionate and logical speech explained every issue very thoroughly, and at the same time, the mobilization of emotions was also in place. It can not only arouse the resonance in the hearts of supporters, but also lead them to look forward to a better future. s future.

Among the many political opinions, Harrison especially focused on the three aspects of people's livelihood economy, education and immigration, and hit the nail on the head. Every reform measure was very precisely aimed at the current pain points.

Regarding education, Harrison talked about her childhood story.

"I still remember when I was 11 years old, I finished elementary school and I was carefree, but my mother was worried all day long. I asked my mother, what's wrong with you, and she told me, son, you should have gone to school. Due to some special reasons, the middle school in your school may not be able to admit you, and we have to move to another county."

"At that time, I didn't know what the special reason was. I found out later that the so-called special reason was my nationality. My father's father's generation came from the Black Continent, Soso. Because of this reason, I almost lost my chance to receive education. Chance."

"In the end, my mother fought with the school's admissions officer with her fists. As a result... the matter went to the court. With the help of the judge, I was able to enter the school smoothly. But my mother also suffered from beating the school staff , was fined two hundred dollars, which is my mother's monthly salary."

"I don't want to see you defending your rights with your fists for the education of your children. I have my mother to fight for me, and you, believe me, you have me to fight for your rights. This is The power everyone deserves!"

It is difficult to verify the truth of this story, but it resonates perfectly in people's hearts. Children's education is always the most concerned thing for a family, because children are the future of a family, a nation, and a country.

Standing among the excited crowd, Wu Qian looked at Harrison on the stage, his eyes slightly squinted behind the sunglasses, and he thought to himself: To be able to embark on the campaign road and become the number three player in the faction, his strength really is not a guarantee.

Even he, an outsider who has nothing to do with the content of the speech, can be a little excited by the emotional speech, not to mention the people who are suffering from such unequal treatment in it, they are looking forward to having Such a figure came to help them do justice.

The speech continued, interspersed with questions, and someone raised the issue of campaign finance.

Facing this sensitive, sharp and annoying question, Kama Harrison did not evade. She showed a confident smile and said: "The strength that supports me to move forward comes from the voters who support me. It is you who have given me unlimited power. motivation."

"The temporary shortage of campaign funds will not cause me any trouble. I am not a billionaire, and I may not be able to spread my political views to every corner of the United States, but I can absolutely guarantee that the people who hear my voice are all People who need my help!"

What you think in your heart is not so important at this moment. Let others think what you think in your heart is the most important thing. At least this, Kama Harrison has done it perfectly.

Towards the end of the speech, Kama Harrison made a very neat closing speech. It was not convenient for her to be present during the rest of the fundraising process, and then left the square.

While Harrison was leaving, Rosalind and Wu Qian's party also disappeared into the crowd.

When Kama Harrison returned to the gallery, she let out a long breath, like the breath she took when she left the drawing room to start a speech, and she kept holding it until now.

What you inhale is courage and cheer, and what you exhale is stress and tension.

"How am I doing today, Nancy?"

Harrison asked the assistant beside him while loosening the collar of his shirt.

Nancy is Harrison's personal bodyguard and assistant, similar to Rosalind's role next to Wu Qian, a Latina woman, about thirty years old, with tight muscles hidden under a loose suit.

Nancy said with a smile: "It's great, Karma, your condition is unprecedentedly good today. I believe this speech will give Jordan and Bloomberg a headache."

Regarding Nancy's words, Harrison didn't know whether she could say such targeted words, and people around her could say them, but she couldn't say them easily.

The two walked towards the bathroom next to the living room. The passionate speech for more than an hour not only made people nervous, but also tensed their bladders.

While chatting, Nancy found a woman wearing a cowboy hat not far behind her, but she didn't take it too seriously. After all, Harrison rented only the living room of the gallery, not the entire gallery. There were other people Also normal.

Harrison went straight to the bathroom, while Nancy stood guard at the door of the bathroom. She watched the woman in the cowboy hat walking towards her.

Rosalind walked to the door of the bathroom and saw Nancy guarding the door like a door god, and said, "Hello, I am a supporter of Ms. Use the bathroom."

Nancy frowned slightly, logically such things were common, but the woman opposite gave her a very dangerous feeling, and it was this intuition that kept her from moving away.

What Rosalind and Nancy said was heard by Harrison who had just walked past the blocking wall. She leaned out and said to Nancy, "Nancy, what are you doing, make way for this lady."

No matter what you think in your heart, you must not disappoint your supporters at this time.

When Nancy heard Harrison's order, she had to retreat a few steps into the bathroom.

Rosalind turned her head and glanced at the empty gallery corridor. She knew that there was a camera just above her head at three o'clock, and that cowboy hat was used to block her face.

She walked into the bathroom slowly, and when she passed by Nancy, she raised her head and smiled as a greeting.

Bypassing the barrier, just as Harrison was about to open the compartment door, Rosalind said leisurely: "Ms. Harrison, not only am I your supporter, but my boss is also your supporter, and I The BOSS wants to talk to you alone."

With a few simple words, the scene froze instantly.

Nancy walked into the bathroom very nervously and looked at Rosalind. She was worried that the woman in the cowboy hat was sent by Kama Harrison's political opponents.

Kama Harrison was not as sensitive as Nancy. The arm that was stiff on the doorknob relaxed, looked at the eyes under the cowboy hat, and said with a smile: "I need to send an invitation in such a hidden place, I'm afraid we have to talk about it." The content will not be simple, will it?"
