Before the speech officially started, many people visited Jenkins who was waiting in the lounge. He didn't know most of them, but they received them warmly.
Finally, I saw the flower girls who were specially invited. They entered the venue with the Church of the Sages together with Fenny, but according to Jenkins' request, they specially wore the clothes they wore when they sold flowers on the street.
The girls looked a little nervous, it was the first time they entered the city hall, and it was also the first time they saw so many "big shots". Jenkins reassured them, saying that their lives would be very different after today's events were over.
The priesthood of [Guardian of the Flower Girl] was working, and his words made the little girls calm down very quickly. Another goal today is to announce the formation of the Flower Girls Union as a means of handling the tulip affair. Perhaps this is not enough to condense the divinity, but if they can live a better life, Jenkins is also very satisfied.
In order to show their identities as flower girls, the girls all carry flower baskets, which contain flowers sent from flower gardens outside the city today. Jenkins picked a tulip in his hand and was about to say something more when there was a knock on the door.
The priest of the church came in and handed Jenkins a note.
Jenkins opened it and glanced at it. It said that about ten minutes ago, a mechanized corpse wounded people in the east of the city. Because the mechanized curse of corpses can spread, the church has dispatched demigods to lead a team to deal with it.
According to the current intelligence, it is not very serious now, so Jenkins was just notified of this incident, and he is not required to suppress it for the time being.
"Sir, if there is another earthquake suddenly during your speech, will the speech continue?"
Seeing that Jenkins didn't show any unhappy expression after reading the note, Fenny knew that the content of the note didn't matter, so she asked again.
"Earthquakes? Oh, yes, earthquakes, there have been a lot of earthquakes in Nolan recently."
Every earthquake is accompanied by the rise of the metal tower, which is the most troublesome.
"However, the probability of an earthquake today is not high. I asked a professional fortune teller to do the divination, so I chose today."
This is the result of Miss Audrey's divination. When Alexia went deep underground yesterday, she asked the machine to confirm that the probability of the Black Tower rising on Sunday is very low, so there is no need to worry.
"All right then."
He took out the pocket watch from his pocket, saw that it was the one given by his younger brother John, put it back again, and took out Alexia's lady's pocket watch to check the time again:
"It's almost time, I'm going to go on stage."
He put the tulip in the breast pocket of the suit, and then lifted the kerosene lamp on the table, which was an important prop for a while.
"Sir, you will surely succeed!"
Fenny encouraged Jenkins with her fists clenched, and the other girls also encouraged Jenkins. Although their words were immature, they all came from their hearts. Jenkins smiled, picked up the cat and put it on his shoulders, and then adjusted the hem of his jacket and dress in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror at the door:
"I will succeed."
He said to himself in the mirror.
Standing at the front door of the lecture hall, he took a deep breath and let it out slowly. After relaxing, he nodded to the servant at the door. The two people on the left and the right immediately pushed the two doors open, and the flashing lights exploded in front of them. Let Jenkins worry about scaring his own cat.
He stepped on the red carpet and walked into the hall. Everyone in the stepped lecture hall stood up and applauded to welcome Jenkins' arrival. The sound like a waterfall made the ground seem to be shaking. This scene was a bit spectacular. Everyone was looking at this young man. Whether they liked him or disliked him, everyone knew that he would be the political star of the future kingdom. It may even be the owner of the land under everyone's feet for the next few decades.
The applause after getting up did not stop until Jenkins walked from the door to the podium at the end of the red carpet. He raised his hands and pushed his palms forward, and the people stopped applauding.
After that, the well-dressed gentlemen and ladies took their seats. Only the flash facing the podium is still flashing continuously. Due to the heat dissipation of the flash, contemporary cameras cannot achieve continuous shooting, otherwise the spotlight will have problems. Therefore, the newspaper has mobilized more cameras to ensure that at least one Desk can work.
Originally, the city hall wanted to arrange a host for Jenkins's speech, at least to introduce him very seriously before he appeared on the stage. But Jenkins declined, so when everyone was seated, it was up to him to start with the "very happy today...it's my pleasure... about financial reform and Bank Negara..." kind of opening, and then took the time to tell you all The guests listening to the speech are welcomed.
Only Queen Isabella, Salhi II, and the second prince of Tarquin the Proud were worthy of his mentioning names, and the others were classified as "all other people who came".
The southern prince who stayed in Nolan for a while, the heir of the Aresio family sat with the other two kings. Compared with Salhi II and Queen Isabella, he was quite young, so he was more imposing than the other two around him. A king is much worse.
He hugged the cat on his shoulders with both hands on his side, pinched its waist and put the cat on the table in front of him. Chocolate immediately sauntered to the corner of the table closest to Jenkins and lay down, apparently determined not to get up before noon.
"Thank you again to everyone and to Mr. Mayor for providing this lecture hall."
He greeted Mr Sax Ruto in the fourth row, who returned the salute.
"The speech this time is mainly about financial reform. I have noticed that since the beginning of this year, national banks, churches and some large industrial and commercial associations are actively preparing for a new order in various countries. But the current China's financial laws and regulations are not perfect, the financial departments of various countries have uneven levels, and they also have different attitudes and views when dealing with different fiscal actions, which makes some illegal and criminal activities rampant."
Behind him was a specially installed giant blackboard. Jenkins took out a piece of chalk from the cardboard box in front of him, tapped it on the table in front of him, and wrote the word "financial" behind him.
"Then Viscount, do you want to talk about some examples of financial crimes today? I have heard your speech in Beldyland, and your views on exchange rate issues are very unique."
Someone from the audience said loudly. Of course, this is a pre-arranged "trust". Such a formal large-scale speech event is generally not allowed to interrupt at will.
