Chapter 122: Calm winds, peace in and out
The weather is calm and quiet for most people, although there is nothing to do every day, things are going on and busy, but they are safe when entering and leaving. Even in the cold winter, it is the best time on earth.
At the intersection of Yongfeng Street, four or five large construction vehicles were parked on both sides of the road, and a speech stand was set up in front of the ruined intersection. On both sides of the speech stand were specially made flower basket shelves from the flower shop.
Flowers surrounded a red carpet. At this time, there were about twenty people in straight suits standing on the carpet. They were decorated with exquisite square scarves of various colors on their chests, paired with enthusiastic smiles on their faces, and were chatting with people they knew with cigars and champagne.
The red carpet and the flower stand are exquisite posters erected, and the posters are painted with the conception after the reconstruction of Yongfeng Road.
Mayor Rudy, who was having a good chat with Li Ming, patted Li Ming on the shoulder and said, "I'm very optimistic about you." Then he pointed to the person who greeted him in front, then turned around and left with the champagne in his hand.
Looking at Mayor Rudy's back as he left, Li Ming made two "tsk tsk" sounds, and then turned his eyes to the poster not far away.
Li Ming only felt a little ridiculed with the blue sky and white clouds, the birds singing and flowers singing, the neat streets, and the people walking leisurely on the streets.
Judging from the start-up ceremony of today's foundation [Yongfeng Business District] project, except for the political journalists and their own side, there were policemen who maintained order on the outside.
In order to arrange the ceremony, someone specially cleaned up the bouquets of candles and photos placed by people on the roadside, and moved the seats for the people holding cigars and cigarettes in front of him.
But after the block is built, how many survivors who originally lived here are qualified to continue living here?
Looking at a man who looked like a decent person in front of him, Li Ming turned his head and said to Li Xiaoshu, who was standing beside him with an uneasy face, "Xiaoshu, do you know how I got to this day step by step?"
"Ah?" Li Xiaoshu, who was confused and left nothing, said subconsciously, "I don't know."
Li Ming put his hand on Li Xiaoshu's head and touched it, stared at Li Xiaoshu's eyes and said, "Just eat it in big mouthfuls."
Looking at the black pupils in my sister's eyes, Li Ming paused and continued,
"Find people who can provide you with nutrients, and then eat it at the pixel level, and then the next one. The more people you eat, the better the people you eat, the faster you stand up, and the bigger your size will be."
"Ah? Eat... People?" Li Xiaoshu said in disbelief.
"In all senses, and the people in front of you are our strong nutrients." Li Ming looked at the already arranged speech seat and said indifferently, "You have memorized what I asked you to recite? Get ready."
As soon as he finished speaking, the host of the event stepped towards the right to speak, picked up the microphone with a spring breeze on his face, and then said,
"Gentlemen, ladies, everyone. Today we are here to celebrate the unfortunate deaths, and the Li Foundation is officially listed and the [Yongfeng Street] renovation project is held...
"Don't be nervous. Just think that you are running for the squad leader." Li Ming smiled at his sister whose calves were shaking with nervousness, "I'll tell you a small way. Press the thumb of a hand on the first joint of the ring finger. This handprint is called the sun seal, which can effectively relieve tension."
It is hard to say whether this handprint is available, but the placebo effect is indeed useful. The more trust the doctor who takes placebo trusts the doctor who prescribes the medicine, the more likely it is to accept the hint, the more obvious the effect of the placebo will be.
Li Xiaoshu raised her eyes and looked at her brother whom she trusted and admired extremely, and then completed the actions demonstrated by Li Ming.
"Very good." While Li Ming expressed his encouragement to his sister, the host's voice came from his ears, "Now I'm welcome to the first chairman of the Li Foundation, Ms. Li Xiaoshu, to give a speech, and everyone warmly welcomes it."
After the host finished speaking, Li Xiaoshu looked at Li Ming, then took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and walked towards the front of the stage.
Standing in front of the crowd, Li Xiaoshu put her left hand under the stage, holding the sun seal in her hand. Then she was silent for a moment, and then began to recite the manuscript that she had already been familiar with.
“Dear gentlemen, ladies, and directors.
Hello everyone.
It is of great significance to me to be able to speak here today.
Many people will wonder why a little girl like me is the chairman of the foundation.
I have asked myself many times about similar questions.
Why can I do it? Why is it me? Can I do it well?
After thinking for many days, I finally figured out the answer to this question.
If you ask me to treat the foundation as a career, I don’t think I can do it, but... the foundation is not a career, nor does it mean to achieve anything or benefit through it.
So I think that with the help of all the directors and the Town Hall, I will regard the foundation as a social love transit station, and I will also firmly believe without hesitation on the road of charity……………”
After Li Xiaoshu paused, Li Ming took the lead in applause, which caused a lot of applause.
Looking at his sister, he seemed to be much more confident and looked at himself, Li Ming smiled and then gave him a thumbs up.
After seeing his brother's encouragement, Li Xiaoshu suddenly felt much more relaxed and continued to say,
"Now, more and more people have become aware that public welfare and charity are the redistribution of social wealth and an irreplaceable means to eliminate conflicts.
However, the tax revenue of the city hall is limited, and the gap between the rich and the poor is gradually widening with the economic development. This requires some outstanding entrepreneurs with a sense of social responsibility and caring to take responsibility, give back to society, and carry forward their own advantages to alleviate social pressure.
Everyone is getting high firewood and using our greatest energy to help those in need. At the same time, I also feel that our wealth comes from society. Only by giving back to society, taking it from the people, and using it for the people can our ten thousand-year foundation be kept forever!
There are no rivers or waters, and heroes always have them. What makes me happy is that I see so many entrepreneurs and friends who are enthusiastic about charity are willing to join this big family, so that we can support each other on the road of charity, treat charity as a cause, and become our lifelong goal.
Finally, in order to thank the society for its support for the foundation and even for its attention and encouragement for charity, on behalf of the Li Foundation, I announced that 100 million yuan was officially invested in the first phase of the "Revival Alliance" composed of the victims of Yongfeng Street, and a reconstruction activity will be carried out from now on. I wish you all to return home as soon as possible and witness the new Yongfeng District! Thank you everyone!"

After the speech, the mayor gave a stinky and long speech. Li Xiaoshu rushed to Li Ming excitedly and shouted like a sparrow, "Brother, how did I behave, didn't disappoint you."
As soon as the phone vibrated, Li Ming took a casual look at the content on it.
I saw a line of words lying on the screen: [I am Li Xizhu's classmate. She was suddenly taken to the political review and asked me to tell you.]
