Two days after Chen's release, the entire American society had completely returned to its previous calm, his lawyers had done all their duties, and the FBI's $50 million check had been returned to Rachel.
Originally, the matter was completely over, everyone was busy with their own business, and there was no need for him to meet those lawyers again.
However, Chen Kangjie took the time to meet with Ms. Rachel, a black lawyer, in a high-end café next to Monica Beach, where he came to inspect the construction of the exterior of the movie "Titanic".
The first time Chen Kangjie saw Rachel, he was stunned, although her image was not as amorous as the one he often saw on TV before his rebirth, but Chen Kangjie still recognized her at a glance.
Rachel is just an ordinary lawyer, at best, she looks a little special in the predominantly white lawyer circle, and it stands to reason that she can't have so much charm to attract Chen Kangjie.
However, some things are so magical, the two people who couldn't be beaten by the original eight poles were able to meet in this accident, and the real attraction to Chen Kangjie was actually Rachel's husband who had just been elected to the Senate not long ago, and now he is not a great celebrity, but ten years later, this guy will make history, he is Oba Niu, the first black president in American history, Chen Kangjie met Rachel, and it was for this Oba Niu.
"Miss Rachel, please be seated, and want to have a drink." , Chen Kangjie has already chartered the entire café, and Chen Kangjie was reading a newspaper when Rachel was introduced by Liu Deyi.
"Thanks, a cup of Italian coffee is all it takes," Rachel said, holding the corners of her long skirt and sitting down elegantly.
There is no need for Chen Kangjie to order, Liu Deyi will instruct the waiter to prepare according to her requirements.
After a few brief greetings between the two, Liu Deyi personally acted as a waiter, slowly put the coffee that Rachel needed in front of him, and then moved to a place two tables away to sit down and rest, and at the same time obeyed Chen Kangjie's instructions at any time.
"Long, thank you for inviting me to pour this beautiful beach, I was supposed to go back to Chicago today, the amount of compensation from the authorities has been paid, and we have been paid", Rahil said so much, the implication was to know why Chen Kangjie just invited her here, what was the purpose, but it was not good to ask directly, so I turned a big corner.
As lawyers, they not only get the normal remuneration, but they can also get a part of the compensation as a reward, only in this way, these lawyers will do their best to win the lawsuit for their clients and fight for more compensation.
Supposedly, Chen Kangjie's compensation lawyers did not take much credit, but Chen Kangjie still gave them $5 million as usual.
"Hehe, I invite you to come, in addition to thanking you for your wit and great help, I also want to express my gratitude and respect for your husband", said Chen Kangjie flipped over the English newspaper he had read before, as if it was a copy of the Chicago Tribune a few days ago, and the content he was reading was exactly the content of her husband Oba Niu's interview, with a picture next to it.
"Oh, he's the senator elected by the people, that's what he should say," Rachel said with shy humility.
"That's true, I'm proud to have a politician like him in Congress, as an African-American, it's very respectable to be able to achieve such an achievement, by the way, this is a gift from me, please accept it on your behalf," said Chen Kangjie, who took a beautiful gift box from the chair next to him and placed it on the coffee table.
"No, no, no, Long, he can't accept your gift, he ,,,,,。" , Rachel cautiously refused, and also nudged the gift box to Chen Kangjie's side.
"Lady Rahil, please listen to me, please listen to me,,,,,。" , Chen Kangjie stopped Rachel's words, and stared at her with both eyes, "I know the law of the United States, senators can't accept gifts casually, then there will be a suspicion of bribery, in fact, I also believe that your husband will not be like that, my gift is completely private, not valuable, inside is a Chinese calligraphy work written by myself, I dare to say that this is absolutely within the scope of the law, haha."
Rahil was immediately silent, he didn't expect Chen Kangjie to give such a gift, and then he was embarrassed by her refusal just now, and his expression was reserved.
"Don't believe it, then I'll open it for you to see", Chen Kangjie said as he moved his hand and took out a pair of scrolls from the gift box.
Liu Deyi, who saw the scene over there, hurriedly ran over to help.
The embarrassed Rachel actually wanted to refuse, but Chen Kangjie had already taken out the scroll in advance, so that the words she wanted to refuse were swallowed again, just right, she thought about it instantly, and by the way, she admired Chen Kangjie's calligraphy works.
Chen Kangjie has not participated in a similar competition since he participated in a calligraphy competition in elementary school and won a prize, and the experience of that competition unexpectedly made him know Zhao Zhibang, a big man, but Chen Kangjie's practice of calligraphy has never stopped, as long as he is at home, he will write a few strokes when he has free time.
Chen Kangjie is not a calligrapher, but he has an advantage in practicing martial arts, that is, the words written are very powerful, not to mention the power through the back of the paper, at least it is easy to feel that there is a majestic momentum in it.
Rachel has never had any contact with Chinese calligraphy before, and her understanding of Chinese culture is also very weak, and in her imagination, Chen Kangjie is the representative and embodiment of Chinese culture.
When the scroll with a length of one meter eight is opened, four vigorous and powerful, majestic "carry on the past and forge ahead" four big characters come into view, this is a central hall, can be hung in the office as decorations.
Rachel doesn't know these four Chinese characters, but she can feel from their flowing strokes and vigorous momentum that they can definitely be regarded as a work of art.
In order to let Rahil understand the meaning of these four words, Chen Kangjie gave her a detailed explanation and explanation.
Knowing that these four words represent a kind of sustenance and wishes and expectations for greater achievements, inheriting the career of his predecessors and opening up the road for the future, Rachel happily accepted Chen Kangjie's gift on behalf of his husband, and his understanding of Chen Kangjie was deepened.
"Actually, my husband and I are both fans of yours, and when he learned that I was going to be your lawyer, he told me to ask for an autograph for you," Rachel said kindly, taking a sip of his coffee as he sat down.
Because of Chen Kangjie's gift, the distance between the two has been shortened all of a sudden, and it is no longer a simple employment relationship, but more like friends, which happens to be the effect that Chen Kangjie hopes to create.
"Hehe, then why didn't you mention it?" , Chen Kangjie asked.
"Because you don't have time, every time I see you, the timing and atmosphere are not right, plus my professional habits, so I didn't mention it, but now that I got your autograph, he will be very happy to know it," Chen Kangjie explained.
"Hehe, that's good, I hope it didn't cost me all my effort, haha, if I have the opportunity to go to Los Angeles, I will visit you at home", Chen Kangjie said very relaxed and casual, and no one would notice what purpose he would have.
"Very good, very welcome, I believe this news makes him happier than that gift, then we are waiting for you to come", Rachel invited at the right time, and made Oba Niu a typical fan of Chen Kangjie.
"By the way, I want to ask you for one thing, to see if it is convenient for you", Chen Kangjie put away his smile and said with an extremely serious expression.
"Long, what's the matter, please say, I will not shirk if I can help", seeing the change in Chen Kangjie's expression, Rachel also became stern.
"That's right, I'm not promising to make a Long Fund, but I don't have the right person to help me manage it, you are a top student at Harvard University, and you are a member of the legal profession, so I want to invite you to be the chairman of my foundation and help me spend the money I donated reasonably", this is Chen Kangjie's idea temporarily, just an ordinary personal relationship, Chen Kangjie feels that it is not enough to make the two sides get close, so he wants to attack Rahil from the aspect of working relationship.
Oba Niu Chen Kangjie is not up to his mind, he still has to continue to follow his political path, but Rahil is a completely available candidate.
"Long, no, no, I'm afraid not, I'm not good at managing funds, maybe you really have to find a more professional person", Rahil listened to Chen Kangjie's invitation, and immediately nervously refused.
"You don't have to be so quick to refuse, it's not too late for you to say no after I finish my idea, first, about the treatment, the treatment I give will not be lower than that of you as a lawyer, it can ensure your annual salary of 500,000 US dollars a year, and secondly, I will donate more than just 50 million dollars, maybe I will donate most of the proceeds I get every year from music, movies, sports competitions and advertisements, and the scope is not limited to the rescue of the victims of this wave of protests, I plan to expand the scope to fund the human rights movement in the United States, support minority groups, rescue African refugees, support medical research, promote global infant disease prevention, etc., I believe that this job will be more meaningful than you being a lawyer, as a lawyer, you uphold the dignity of the law, do charity, you are benefiting thousands of people at the lower levels,,,,,。 In order to keep her, Chen Kangjie took the trouble to carefully introduce his thoughts to Rachel.
