On the 4th of the beginning of the month, as of 11 p.m., from the votes that have been drawn, Huang Wendao's vote rate has reached 47%. It can be said that it is a stable victory. The Democrats and Republicans see no hope. The candidate's withdrawal gave way to the situation, which led to a clearer situation.
According to California’s electoral law, the mayor’s information is divided into two stages: the primary election and the run-off. Of course, if you can win more than 50% of the votes in one fell swoop, there is no need for a second run-off.
Both the Los Angeles Times and the Gabonese TV station published a lot of reports on the news. This ending made almost everyone who paid attention to this event open their mouths.
Of course, many election forecasters, such as Darren Bent, a factual critic within the Democratic Party who is known for his iron teeth, also naturally acted as hindsight, and the former Los Angeles congressman made a big statement on the "Campaign Ring" talk show. There are various reasons for this situation.
"First of all, this election only had a *** rate of 30%. The former mayor Gates retired from illness and could not be re-elected, which caused the blindness of voters. In addition, there are hundreds of thousands of Chinese in Los Angeles. It's yellow..."
Darren Bent even cited the top media "I Have a Date with Zombies" to illustrate the huge role of media opinion in this election.
"Do you know that my daughter who is studying in Washington is now imitating the protagonist in this Chinese TV series with a wooden sword. To be honest, I also like this series. This TV series has greatly changed my view of tradition. Asian stereotypes, even I think I was a little prejudiced against them before. God must know that I feel guilty towards them. At this time, Huang appeared, as if God gave me a channel of atonement. Of course, I have to Vote for him~"
At this time, most people naturally forget that when "I Have a Date with Zombies" was broadcast, it caused a huge condemnation from the Christians.
Although the election is not over yet, anyone with a clear mind understands that the overall situation is set. After the last San Francisco city, Los Angeles finally has a mayor of Chinese descent born. Everyone knows this city of angels. Will usher in a new history.

While some people were celebrating, while others were frustrated and desperate, Yang Can was quietly looking at the text on the phone in his room **.
"Yang, thank you for everything you did. You saved our family. I still remember clearly that our two brothers overheard Jacky's pain when he had a brain tumor in the attic. We never thought that our father would leave at any time. We go away, you don't know how much we love him.
Later, when you said to be treated, we ignorantly cursed you countless times. In the middle of the night, I kept saying to myself,'If that lunatic from China kills Jacky, I will kill him with a gun."
Thank God, I did not do that.
Now, I never even dreamed that Jacky not only recovered from the illness, but also became the mayor of Los Angeles. I was so happy that I could finally get a good night’s sleep, Yang, I can’t express how I feel in words. , I can only say that I have read a lot of news about China on the Internet before. I hate Chinese people, but now I really want to be a person like you, a Chinese who brings hope and strength to people like you.
Thank you sincerely-Huang Guorong"
Yang Can was watching the email from Huang Wendao’s eldest son on his iPhone, and there was a warmth in his heart. These two stupid boys had already overheared everything. No wonder they looked at him a few times. Not very happy, I hated myself a long time ago.
Although Yang Can wanted to scold this ignorant boy for forgetting his roots, what dislikes Chinese people, isn't your abc father and your mother all Chinese? But the last sentence of the email comforted him a lot. When he answered the email, the phone rang, and it was Xue Qiyuan's.
Yang Can sat up with her back straight and picked up the phone: "Sister Xue, are you calling now to thank me?"
"The results haven't been announced yet. Don't be too happy. Ron Paul has already reported us through judicial procedures for our election bribery." Xue Qiyuan's voice was with an unconcealable smile, but it didn't seem to be too worried at all. , Everyone knows that this is just a dying struggle for competitors.
Yang Can couldn't help laughing: "Just tell the point."
"Well, the city council has passed the top application requirements and formally let you be the honorary principal of Irvine College." Xue Qiyuan heard Yang Canen's voice and immediately continued: "Grispie called me today, saying that he hopes to be able to Come back to our campaign team, what do you think?"
Yang Can couldn't help but feel funny when he heard Xue Qiyuan's tone. When did Miss Xue talk to people so lowly.
Grispi... It is true that Huang Wendao lacks a powerful helper. When he leaves, Xue Qiyuan has to deal with too many things. Although Grispi's anti-skeletal boy is not loyal, he still has the ability and can be used. , Just asked strangely:
"It's weird, it doesn't look like your style, so you shouldn't slap this traitor in the face, right?"
Xue Qiyuan snorted on the phone: "Well, if he is alone, I should toss him, but Gris brought his fiancée to my house and begged for love all night. His fiancée is pregnant, and he still needs to pay it back. For the loan, Grispi left because of her before..."
Yang Can smiled and nodded. He probably guessed it. Miss Xue has always been cold-blooded for men, and she is extremely sympathetic to female "sex" compatriots. Grispi can be regarded as the right "medicine", too, here it is. At this stage, the other candidates were all trees falling and scattered. It's strange that those people didn't rush to climb Huangwendao's high branches.
For a new mayor, how many people in the city's "government" will have to be replaced, and how many positions will be vacated, you can imagine the turmoil in this huge city of angels.
In the morning in Washington Vice President Van Gundy, he also sent a congratulatory video email from the White House, inviting Huang Wendao to join the Los Angeles campaign team to participate in a celebration banquet in Washington, but he couldn't get out of it now and turned it off.
"I... Grandpa is coming to America... Can you meet him."
Hearing Xue Qiyuan suddenly became hesitating, Yang Can felt agitated in his heart, and suddenly remembered that the chain reaction of what he did was not only that simple. The Xue family did not expect Xue Qiyuan to revive the deadlock in Los Angeles. , Xue Qiyuan is now pushing Huang Wendao to the throne of mayor in one fell swoop. It is hard to say what huge changes will happen to her status in the Xue family. East Asia Satellite TV...
At this time, Yang Can vaguely felt that he had helped his competitors indirectly? Thinking of this, I didn't feel much regret, but when I saw Xue Guoji, I made the matter complicated and resolutely rejected this proposal:
"I don't have time to be busy, so be it, I'm hung up~"
"Are you busy!? My grandfather..." In Xue Qiyuan's surprised voice, Yang Can quickly hung up the phone.
After lunch, Yang Can and Xu Xiaoxiao all got in the car, and Xu Xiaoxiao in the car going to Owen College kept looking at Yang Can's quiet side face. With such a simple face, his brows were frowning like a cliff.
In the past few days, she followed Yang Can in various campaign occasions and met almost all the upper-level figures in Los Angeles. Her immediate boss really made people feel unfathomable, and the ordinary impression of the first meeting. Already feels like two people.
Somehow she always inadvertently thought of the situation when Yang Can and President Ma were embracing and lingering in the office when she bumped into each other that day. There were strange emotions flowing in their hearts, and the ease when Yang Can fell asleep before. The demeanor, it all made her feel red and heartbeat.
Xu Xiaoxiao shook her head slightly, trying to drive these thoughts out of her mind; as a qualified translator, one should not explore the secrets of the boss's private life.
"What are you thinking?" Yang Can asked when seeing Xu Xiaoxiao shaking his head.
"Nothing." Xu Xiaoxiao avoided Yang Can's eyes: "I just think that Mr. Yang's experience these days can be written in a book..."
"Really?" Yang Can asked, but he didn't think so, and wanted to talk a little more, and then Owen College arrived.
Today, the college has arranged a meeting of the board of directors under the communication of the city's "government". Although the new mayor has not formally taken office, it is not a problem at all that the parliament passes such a small, trivial vote.
When he arrived at Irving’s office building, the driver drove the car into the parking lot where the employees were diverted. Yang Can and Xu Xiaoxiao walked out of the parking lot and entered the lobby. They saw the principal of Irving College, Woodrow Jackson, walking alongside him. There are several school directors of Irvine College.
"Couldn't they be here to pick us up?" Xu Xiaoxiao asked in surprise, because she was still a student who had some psychological shadows on the seniors of these schools.
"Hehe, when I was a student, I felt that the most refreshing thing was to let the principal see me and lower his head." Yang Can smiled and shook his head and exclaimed, "I didn't expect this goal to be achieved at this time. Up."
This board meeting was very simple. It was not so much a meeting as it was an announcement of a resolution. Yang Can’s equity plus the part of the fund’s equity under the trusteeship of the “government” listed on the stock market, together they have absolute decision-making power. "Government" means to make Yang Can an honorary principal.
Originally, Yang Can was reluctant to hold such a title, but he only served as a so-called "professor emeritus" who wanted to be responsible for all the projects of the new promotion project Fengshenbang of Irvine College. He had all the priority coordinator assignment rights, and he was a bit ultra vires. Had to accept the title of the principal.
Yang Can’s transfer list really made everyone's eyes jump. Thomas Raymond, the tempered lecturer in the screenwriting department, James Walker, the alcoholic professor in the photography department, and the most influential beauty professor in the college to teach stage manners. La wait, more than ten people, almost one-third of the teachers in the academy have been transferred to the stage play.
"So many people are transferred all at once, what about the arranged courses?" A person in charge of the human resources department took a deep breath and asked.
"It's less than two months. During this time, you can go outside the school to ask for a substitute teacher. It shouldn't be difficult to hire a few substitute teachers in Los Angeles." Yang Can flicked the soot and was unmoved. Explanation:
"This project is mainly for the admissions promotion of Irvine College. This year's enrollment rate has dropped a lot from last year."
One sentence hits the other's death "point", and several opponents also "faced" stiffly not daring to say anything. Yang Can possesses mind-reading skills, as long as he wants anyone here to want to reason with them. I was depressed when I moved the data, and I was blocked by Yang Can almost without a word.
Principal Woodrow was obviously an old fried dough stick, squinting his eyes to look at Yang Can, his eyes seemed to penetrate people's hearts.
"I think things still have to think about the long-term, but you shouldn't be at a loss because of too much consideration. I think Yang's plan this time is good, but I want to know whether the actors of the stage play have Yang Xiuya and Lu Zibo involved."
"Yes." Yang Can said affirmatively. This Woodrow is a sensible person, knowing the benefits to Owen if this matter is really done.
Woodrow's attitude shows that there is no opposition from other people, and these professors are all discussing in private:
"Why did the city's "government" send such a person to set up a stage crew, and even said that they would use their own scripts, the Fengshen Bang, have you heard of it?"
"I heard that it is an oriental myth, similar to the dusk of the gods, right?"
"God knows what he thinks, we will have to be busy during this time." Everyone can only smile bitterly at each other.
*****
At half past one in the afternoon, Irvine College has a lunch break.
"Lu Zibo." Mai Weijian never be far away waved to Lu Zibo, who was just about to go to the classroom.
"Director Mai, why are you here?" Lu Zibo tapped on his wrist watch: "I'm going to class with Han Ting and Yang Xiuya, so I can't talk with you more. A new professor came in the afternoon. What kind of selection activities are you going to do? "
The news on the bulletin board of Irvine College in the morning caused a shock throughout the school. The college said that it would organize a stage play club within a week to perform tours throughout Los Angeles. More than a dozen professors have joined this temporary theater company. In the afternoon, we started to recruit actors from the academy.
Although it is not limited to Irvine College, but only promoted within the campus, so naturally there will be no more competitors.
Lu Zibo was also "forced" to come to this training course. He just wanted to mix it up during this period of time. Fortunately, there were a lot of thin-skinned boys in the school, so he could have nothing to do with him.
Mai Weijian put his arms around his shoulders with a peculiar smile and said: "Don't worry, you have been selected."
"Don't be kidding Mr. Mike." Lu Zibo didn't take it seriously and ran to the classroom. Seeing that there were people pouring into classroom 201, Mai Weijian could only shake his head and walk in.
It is natural for everyone to be so enthusiastic. It is not difficult to know that it is not difficult to get the opportunity to perform in the United States. There is a "Theatre Association Group" (tcg) organization, which specializes in promoting non-profit performance projects across the country. Many young actors are very Get some chances to appear in stage plays.
However, this organization charges a certain fee every year, and it does not guarantee that those who join will get the opportunity. Most of the people who can play are selected from a hundred, and even if they can be selected, they are only on the stage of some small communities, or The school performed, but the bulletin board said that this stage play is a formal performance that can be performed in more than a dozen theaters in Los Angeles.
What's more, all the cast members still have proportional remuneration dividends to get, and everyone's excitement is natural.
A 300-square-meter classroom was crowded with students from Irvine College who came to seek opportunities, and some other people who heard the news also came to seek opportunities.
Christina, the blonde beauty in the crowd, and their friends also squeezed over, and a few people whispered whether they had a chance. She was the most experienced in the school.
Sitting on the other side, Yang Xiuya and Lu Zibo are very popular among the students. It is rare to have a chance to meet. Many people ask for their autographs. Christina who watched became unspeakable and stared. there.
In the anticipation of everyone, headed by President Woodrow and Professor Baghding, a group of Irving’s elite lecturers walked in from the door, but behind them were three strange Eastern faces, looking from the student seat. The distance is too far is not too clear.
Yang Xiuya, Lu Zibo, and Han Ting were surprised when they saw each other, and they all looked at each other with uncertainty.
In the noisy atmosphere of the classroom, Woodrow picked up the microphone on the podium and coughed dryly: "Everyone, today is the day for the selection of the stage crew of the Irvine College, please keep quiet." He waved his hand and pointed to the other side.
"This is Mr. Yang Can, the new honorary principal of our college, who is solely responsible for all the stage plays this time."
Amidst the discussions among hundreds of Owen students, Yang Xiuya, Lu Zibo, and Han Ting all looked silly. They wore a pair of glasses and a formal suit. Yang Can looked completely different from usual gentle manners, and looked at this calmly. By the side, there were Mai Weijian and another man who didn't know him.
Due to the closed training in Irving during this period, the three actors didn’t know what Yang Can was planning. In fact, the three of them were more or less ignorant of Yang Can’s arrangement. Although the training was not a bad thing, it was so. Being trained in a system for a short period of time makes people suspicious of being a little bit frustrated.
They didn't expect that Yang Can hadn't been in charge of them for so long, and he would become the honorary principal of Irvine College when he "showed" his face again. This really gave them a feeling of surprise.
Probably after the introduction, it officially started. The actor recruitment conference this time did not have the expected assessment. Those Chinese people just asked all the students who came to sign up to fill in their own information in front of him, so that everyone was a bit " Feeling confused.
After the whole process was completed, everyone gradually dispersed. Yang Xiuya probably guessed what Yang Can wanted to do. She leaned to their side and gently pushed his elbow and asked:
"Have you planned it before? What are you up to? I haven't seen people all day." Yang Xiuya always feels a little strange about the 180-degree turn of Yang Can's entire image.
Yang Can calmly lifted his glasses. They were put on by Yiyi before going out in the morning. After all, he still needs to pay attention to the collar dress of an academy, which made him a little restrained and didn't speak yet.
"Yang, come, come, come... This girl is one of the best students I have told you in our school. I will introduce you to it." Principal Woodrow eagerly took Christina's shoulder Help her introduce.
"Woodrow, no, it's not the first time I met Christina..." Yang Can smiled calmly.
Christina and a few guys who could play football next to her were on the side of her shoulders, and they had forgotten to pull them back. The blonde beauty looked at Yang Can and stammered: "You...you... why are you?"
