Chapter 256: The Little Matter of Adoption
The sea is empty and open.
Han Xuan stood on the seaside, and always felt that it was beautiful, with blue sky and white clouds, with the blue sea, it made people feel refreshed.
Seagulls flutter and circle the sky, cargo ships whistle as they approach the pier, and the waves in the distance turn into a line, from far to near, slapping heavily on the beach full of broken shells, becoming soft and slowly receding.
I went back to the car and picked up my phone, lowered my head and pressed the quick button to call Anthony, saw Harris dozing and closed his eyes, and whispered, "Have you found a good lawyer?"
"Okay, Mr. Schultz helped to find it, we are on our way to the animal police station, and the lawyer is also rushing over, when will you arrive?"
"Get in the car, go over now, where is the address of the animal police station?"
"What animal are you going to adopt near Seattle University?"
"Two red pandas, you first ask them what adoption documents they need, and I asked my dad to prepare ......"
Seattle, a seaside city without the hustle and bustle of a big city or the tranquility of a small town, has developed its own unique style in an awkward position that is not up or down.
The old building is shabby, but clean, the new building is new next to it, and the construction site sign reads: If it disturbs your work and rest, sorry, we have done our best to reduce the noise, 8:30 to 12 in the morning, 3 to 6 in the afternoon, to ensure that you have a quiet time for lunch break and dinner, sorry again.
Advertisements are posted on one wall, and their shadows are not visible elsewhere, and dog walkers will pick up feces, wrap them up and throw them in the trash, even if there is a second left at the red light, and pedestrians will not cross the street first.
Occasionally, if there is an immoral person, then it is better to spit on him collectively, and the company may hire a lazy person. But no company would want a fare evader.
Quality and courtesy are more indicative of a city, which is built by the people of Seattle, and money is sometimes just a trivial thing.
The sunset fills the sky very early, with a beautiful pale gold.
The Rainier Snow Mountains are illuminated by it.
The Snow Mountain Ranch that lives on the east side of the Snow Mountain Ranch suffers very much, and when the sun goes down, you can only see the backlit black shadows of those Snow Mountains, otherwise Han Xuan can pass through the cracks of the tall buildings. When you see the Rainier Snow Mountain, you won't be so surprised by its beauty.
There are a lot of students around Seattle University during the school day, and you can occasionally see female students in nurse uniforms, and it seems that Seattle University also has a nursing professional course, which Brown University does not have.
Harris took a deep breath, and his sleepiness suddenly dissipated, and the small eyes under his glasses were dripping with a thief light, and he rolled down the window and rested on the window.
Not only spring, but also autumn is a suitable season for spring.
In the United States, a cow was seen lying on the side of the road. A few minutes later, police cars with sirens whistled in, and police officers wearing body armor and carrying pistols at their waists stepped out of the car, took pictures, collected evidence, called nearby residents to an investigation meeting, and then posted a notice in the media to find the owner of the cow This weird thing is that don't worry, it's the animal police who are coming.
They are law enforcement officers from the Law Enforcement Division of the Society Against Cruelty to Animals, not police in the true sense of the word.
Staff wear uniforms of similar colors and styles to police uniforms, and are also equipped with special equipment such as handcuffs, pistols, and police lights. The power of arrest can also be exercised in accordance with the law, etc., so it is not much different from other police officers.
The main responsibility is to keep all kinds of animals safe. Punishing animal cruelty also requires the disposal of abandoned animals, which is mostly carried out by caring people, so women account for more than half of the population, and it is one of the respected professions.
Han Xuan didn't expect Anthony to invite a group of lawyers, yes. A gang, there were more than a dozen in total, all carrying briefcases, black suits and white shirts, ties and leather shoes of different colors.
Confused, "There are so many lawyers in Seattle who practice animal adoption?"
Anthony shook his head. "No, there's only one professional, Mr. Bob, and there are other private lawyers, civil rights lawyers, public interest attorneys, and other private lawyers, civil rights lawyers, and public interest attorneys who know how to deal with this aspect of the contract, and we don't live in Seattle for fear of getting into trouble," he said. ”
There are millions of lawyers in the United States, that is to say, one in 300 people is engaged in law-related professions, and their public participation in the improvement of society and the legal system is an indispensable part of the social supervision of the rule of law.
Han Xuan rolled his eyes, he couldn't adopt it now, waved his hand forward, and said, "I'm sorry for you, come in with me......"
Awa, a trainee animal policeman, got two cute big toys today, and her boss told her to take care of them.
Happy went to the supermarket to buy some organic dates and apples as food, and put a basin of water on the table for them to wash their hands and face after eating.
Red pandas and baby raccoons have similar living habits, they both love to be clean, and they look similar, but Ava thinks they are much cuter than baby raccoons, because red pandas are rounder and cuter.
Holding a red panda and teasing it, the other stood up and looked around, the corners of his mouth just curled, and he found a group of men breaking in, and he could smell the smell of lawyers on them through the glass.
I guessed if there was another big man who abused animals, and he still had the face to come and make trouble, so he opened the door and shouted, "Who are you looking for?"
The eyes of the two red pandas lit up, and they jumped down and ran towards Han Xuan at the same time, Han Xuan found them, smiled and bent down to pick them up, "I found it." ”
"Red pandas?" Ava looked wary, "they are protected animals and cannot be raised at will, and besides, did you not eat for them?
"Be careful with your words and actions, ma'am.
My client is still a minor, and if I scare him, I will complain to your boss, please don't frame him before I have evidence. ”
After the lawyer finished speaking, Han Xuan and Ava rolled their eyes at the same time, one thought how could he be so vulnerable, and the other secretly scolded the damn lawyer who was really annoying.
"I'm not their owner, I just happened to see them smuggled in at customs and wanted to adopt them. Han Xuan looked at the young girl in front of him and said.
"Adoption, the little raccoon isn't on the list of people who can adopt, I'm sorry, I can't promise you. ”
One lawyer asked, "What is your position?"
"Assistant, assistant superintendent. ”
"Then please ask your boss to come over, is the superintendent here?"
Seeing the expression of "you are not qualified" on his face, Ava was half angry, "The first room upstairs!"
A lawyer was familiar with opening the door of the conference room and inviting Han Xuan to come in as if he were at home, and the middle-aged lawyer standing at the door went upstairs to call the director.
In person at your office?
I'm sorry, but you are using our taxpayers' money and have an arrogant attitude, so I will sue you for insulting the personality of citizens and not coming forward to deal with it, and I will also sue you for perfunctory.
The footsteps going upstairs were hurried, but it was only more than ten seconds, and the footsteps downstairs were also hurried.
The director, an old man in his fifties, saw a group of people sitting at the round table, and a child at the top was teasing the red panda sent by customs in the afternoon.
I didn't know why, so I asked, "Gentlemen, what is the matter here?"
The full-time lawyer named Bob stood up and put a stack of documents in front of him, "My client wants to adopt these two smuggled and ownerless red pandas out of love, these are the documents that prove that he has the conditions for adoption, the law stipulates that in the absence of care conditions, citizens can be allowed to adopt animals, and sending them to the zoo is simply a crime, and can only become playthings for show."
And my party Han Xuan is different, as far as I know, red pandas are suitable for living at high altitudes, his family happens to have a 149,746-acre ranch in Montana, and the climatic conditions can meet all the survival needs of red pandas, and a copy faxed from Montana is in front of you.
He also has a number of animals, including a Kodiak Island brown bear, which has an autographed copy from the local park police chief, proving that he is a very caring boy who is willing to give his own strength to the cause of animal conservation.
Flathead Forest Park has professional animal protection staff, and my client promised to ask them to help take care of the red panda and build the most suitable environment for the red panda.
You can't give any of that, I'm fighting for these two red pandas, and lo and behold, sir, how much they like him. ”?
Han Xuan's mouth opened slightly, and the two red pandas stood cutely and slowly raised their hands.
The director knew Bob, and he hadn't seen him go to court so wholeheartedly, so he looked down at the copy, and the local branch would check it, and no one dared to fake it.
Flipping through an asset certificate document sent from the Morgan Bank of Great Falls City, with Han Qianshan's name written on it, he opened his eyes and said, "Twenty-nine million!?"
I secretly thought that the ranchers were really rich.
Flipping back further, on the asset certificate sent by East West Bank, the string of zeros made the director have a heart attack, choking inexplicably, and coughing non-stop.
Ava also planned to be the director of the bureau, but at the moment, her image was weak, and she stretched out her head to look at the boy's proof of assets.
"One, two, three...... Two hundred and fifty-seven million?
No! $2.5 billion!?"
"How about it? can I adopt them?" Bob poured himself a glass of water, thinking about putting it in front of Han Xuan, and poured a cup for Anthony and Harris before finally it was his turn.
"It should be no problem, there are still a lot of red pandas in the world, and I think they can live happily in Montana. ”
"The documents have been drawn up, please sign them, sir. (To be continued.) )
