Miss President wants to talk to you

One question after another.

Richard was furious.

His lawyer rushed forward to try and shield him from the reporters' view.

But the reporters kept pushing forward.

The scene became chaotic for a moment.

The documents on the table next to me were accidentally knocked over.

A thick stack of draft "Banking Law" was spread out, and the pages fell to the ground.

Richard took a step back, his heel landing right on the edge of the paper, and slipped.

He suddenly lost his balance.

To maintain appearances, Richard instinctively reached out and held onto the edge of the table.

It's too late.

boom!

A loud bang.

Richard knelt down on one knee.

In front of him was a scattered draft of the Banking Law.

The hearing room fell silent.

The next second, the spotlights went off like crazy.

Click, click, click!

"No filming! No filming! Please don't film!"

The lawyer tried desperately to stop it, but to no avail.

Richard's disheveled appearance was captured in a final, unforgettable moment.

it's over...

This is Richard's only thought right now.

He could already foresee what kind of headlines would appear on tomorrow's newspapers.

Morgan Stanley bows down to the Banking Act!

Chapter 72: Full of Vitality

People were surprised to find out when Morgan struggled to his feet.

It turns out that a person's face can turn this red, almost like it's been boiled.

"...Let's go!"

Richard was at a loss for how to handle the situation.

He abandoned all decorum, bowed his head, pushed through the crowd, and hurried away.

He refused to respond to any further questions from reporters.

Richard is gone.

People watched his retreating figure, recalling his astonishing kneeling gesture just moments before.

They all had the same idea, without prior arrangement.

From this day forward, Morgan Stanley will never rise again.

Boom boom boom!

Chairman Fletcher struck the gavel.

"Today's hearing is now concluded."

He announced, "The committee will include all the evidence submitted by Mr. Hopkins, as well as the testimony of Minister Woodin, in the official record."

"As for the Banking Act itself, the committee will begin internal deliberations after the hearings."

Two hours later.

The closed-door meeting of the Banking Committee has concluded.

The Banking Act passed the committee's review by an overwhelming majority and was submitted to the full Senate.

This is a huge victory for the White House.

A single hearing was enough to bring the Banking Act back to Congress.

Such powerful potential energy, and this is just the result of a simple hearing.

Everyone understands.

Once the hearing proceedings are published and made public, public opinion will take hold.

The Banking Act will be unstoppable from now on.

……

The next morning.

On the streets of the metropolis.

The newsboy waved the newspaper, his voice nearly hoarse from shouting.

"Extra number! Extra number!"

Morgan Stanley's preferred list revealed!

"Former president, Supreme Court justice, and finance secretary are all involved!"

Richard Morgan kneels during hearing!

These messages are all incredibly explosive.

Pedestrians who were hurrying along the street suddenly stopped in their tracks.

"What priority list?"

"Morgan kneels down? You mean that Morgan from Wall Street?!"

"Give me a newspaper!"

"I want one too!"

"Don't push! I was here first!"

Within minutes, the bundle of newspapers was sold out.

When they opened the newspaper and saw the photo, their entire worldview seemed to be turned upside down.

In the photo, Richard Morgan is kneeling on one knee.

The draft of the Banking Law was scattered in front of me.

The lawyer standing nearby reached out to stop him, his face filled with terror.

The reporters' flashlights almost overwhelmed him.

The scene was incredibly impactful.

Morgan Stanley bows down to the Banking Act!

Some newspapers didn't even clearly describe the details of the hearing, but simply filled half a page with the photo.

It goes without saying, and is obvious at a glance.

Morgan Group lost.

And the loss was quite humiliating!

Only then did people begin to read the main text.

As he watched, the smile on his face gradually froze and faded until it disappeared completely.

"Scoundrels! They're all a bunch of scum!"

"How can it be considered legal to not pay taxes for several years in a row?!"

"By channeling profits to so many people, is the Morgan Group trying to rebel?"

Public opinion was in an uproar.

They couldn't understand why the Morgan Group had done so many outrageous things.

Are all the results legal?

How could this not cause one's blood pressure to spike?

So, during the Great Depression, it was always ordinary people who suffered and lost out?

Those financial giants have a million ways to do evil, and as a result, even the law cannot punish them.

Why?

How can the federal government be so unfair!

The law must be amended!

The public has finally taken notice of the Banking Act, though they may not be able to fully understand all of the complex technical terms in it.

There is only one instinctive cognition.

Since financial giants like Morgan Stanley are so opposed to this bill.

Then it must be good!

They should support whatever the enemy opposes!

"When will the Banking Act finally pass? I can't wait!"
