The next morning, Kevin struggled to wake up from five girls who had worked all night, and was touched by their dedication when he looked at the girls who were still resting after working all night. He knew that these girls could get money with their own efforts, whether he gave it or not, whether Durin gave it or not, these girls' superiors would give them enough money. It's not about settling with anyone, it's about protecting one's position and dominance.

But despite this, Kevin opened his wallet and took out five twenty-dollar bills from his wallet, and put them on the table and pressed them with a cup, which was a tip.

Every person who works hard is worthy of respect, no matter what they do, noble or lowly, at least the income they earn in exchange for their labor.

Changing his clothes and walking out of the hotel, the wind outside with a strong autumn mood blew, making him feel refreshed and a little cold. Wrapped in his clothes, the doorman had already stopped a car for him.

The doorman didn't know Kevin, but he knew the man who came with Kevin last night, this was a guest entertained by the mayor, how dare he pretend not to see it?

Kevin took out a few coins and placed them in the doorman's hand, who bent down and said thank you, wishing him a good time at Otis.

He is a little different, the attentive service of the senior hotel staff seems to have been deeply rooted in people's hearts, but it is rare to know how to say a few good words like this. That's the difference between loving work and not loving it, and you can see that Otis City is a little different from other places, and Kevin can feel it, but he can't say it. It's too subtle to describe.

"Honored guest, where are you going?", the driver in the rearview mirror smiled at Kevin through the reflection of the mirror, and pinched the brim of his hat to show respect.

Kevin glanced at him, and at first glance it was a uniform costume, a uniform hat, and the inside of the carriage was very clean, and he also saw four bottles of bottled drinks in the position of the armrest box, "Can I drink this?", he asked, wanting to see how the driver answered.

"Of course, sir, this is what is prepared for a distinguished guest like you, and free of charge. Otis City MRT Taxi Company is here to help!"

The polite attitude and the words of the driver made Kevin stunned for a moment. He picked up a bottle of drink and unscrewed the lid, it was a little sour, a little astringent, obviously it was not a good taste, but when mixed together, it gave people a very refreshing feeling.

"You know me?", he shook the drink in his hand.

The driver didn't urge Kevin to say what he was asking for, but patiently replied, "No, sir, I don't know you." ”

"Then why are you so polite to me?"

"Because this is the city of Otis, sir!", there seemed to be a translucent brilliance in the driver's eyes, "it is an honor for us Otis people to come here, and it is also our duty to provide the best service to distinguished guests like you, sir." ”

Kevin burst into laughter, he finally knew what was different, and took another sip of his drink, "Go to the city hall." ”

"Yes, sir. Sit tight, I'm about to start. ”

Looking out the window at the streets that were cleaner and tidier than the Imperial Capital, Kevin suddenly understood that Durin's goal was beyond his comprehension, and perhaps as they once joked, one day Dulin would come to the Imperial Capital and stand on the Capitol Hill to look down on the Empire.

And what about him?

The picturesque streetscape outside the window no longer seemed appealing, and Kevin fell into deep thought. He frowned, reminiscing about the past.

He watched Durin go from a little bastard who could be pinched to death to become an amazing mayor, and even built the city of Otis into a place that made him feel fear, Durin has been moving towards a great goal, but where is his goal?

The best lawyer?

He already is, during his revenge on Ordo, the firm called him more than once, and some rich people wanted to go to court, pointing out that Kevin must be the main defense lawyer, and pay hundreds of thousands of millions of lawyers.

Has this road come to an end? Has he come to the end when everyone else is still pursuing greater goals? Will he have to watch one person after another surpass him in the future and become an existence that he needs to look up to?

No, it shouldn't be like this.

As a student, he was the best student. After becoming a lawyer, he is the best lawyer, so what should he pursue to live up to the wisdom that God has given him?

Time flies when he thinks, and when the driver reminds him that he has arrived, he looks up at a very spacious plaza and the town hall building that shocks many people when they see it for the first time.

He paid for the taxi for ten dollars, and claimed that he didn't need to look for it, and closed the door in the driver's kind words.

Yes, he could feel that as long as he was in the city, no matter where he stood or what he was doing, every local would treat him as a "noble lord". It's a city of wonders, and Kevin is willing to spend every piece of money in his pocket in order to constantly enjoy this wonderful feeling of being above all people.

Miraculous, but also terrifying.

He walked into the town hall with his head back on crutches, and he pushed open the door to Doolin's office after being received by the staff. He walked in with his head up, hung his hat and clothes on the hanger, and walked slowly to Doolin's desk, where he stood and looked at Doolin.

The two looked at each other for a while, and then Kevin said in a deep voice: "Hey, man, do you think it's better for me to run for the Attorney General, or to run for the Lord's Court for Life?"

This seemed like a joke, but it made Durin think seriously, he pursed his lips and pointed to the chair next to Kevin, "You can't do it, Justice, unless you are willing to serve as a judge in the city court in Otis City, and then spend twenty or thirty years or so, when you are fifty or sixty years old, compete for that position with about seven or eight old people with the same qualifications as you, or even better than you." ”

This sentence is not that Du Lin fooled Kevin, who is a lawyer himself and knows the judicial system very well. Judges basically go up step by step from the grassroots level, which takes a long time, and there is another criterion - the adjudication rate, to put it simply, a judge from the bottom to the upper level, needs to cumulatively try more than 3,000 cases, of which the judgment results recognized by both the plaintiff and the defendant must be more than 80%.

That is to say, if you take over ten cases at most, there will be no more than two cases, and someone will continue to appeal after the judgment, and then continue to expand according to this ratio, and after arriving at the state or even the ministry, even if you can hear ten cases a day, I am afraid that there will not be so many cases to try for you.

After waiting for a long time to pass the indicators, and then waiting for the current justices to retire, they will have a chance to fight. If you fail, everyone is about the same age, and if you boil each other to death, I'm afraid you will be about the same.

"Then the Minister of Justice, how long do you think it will take if I work in this direction?", he shrugged, "I don't know enough about the political side of things, give me a number that makes me happy." ”

Durin put down the pen in his hand and took out a box of cigarettes, took one for himself and threw it on the table, and the two old smoking guns suddenly began to swallow the clouds.

Pouring out a puff of smoke, Durin said with a smile: "It depends on when I can become prime minister." ”

The prime minister has the power to form a cabinet, for example, the current cabinet, which is basically nominated and then elected by Maggs, and generally no one will disgust the prime minister in this regard, nor will they disagree with the prime minister.

There are two reasons for this: First, if the people of the old party raise opposing views, then the old party will not be in power in the future? Once they come to power, I am afraid that the new party will retaliate and cause trouble for them, and instead of disgusting others and waiting for others to disgust themselves, it is better to let go of their hands in this kind of matter. The second point is that even if someone suddenly gets a position that should belong to someone else, it is actually meaningless.

Because the whole cabinet is like a machine, but you are not a supporting part of this set of machines, you can't get the role of the overall bonus, and there will be a lot of trouble at work, and if you are not careful, you will be impeached, and finally you can only resign voluntarily.

So what Durin said is not a problem at all, as long as he can become the prime minister, naming Kevin to be the Minister of Justice is just a matter of one sentence.

"It makes me feel like you're in control, it's too bad, it's a feeling!", Kevin complained habitually, only when he was with Doolin, "Then I'll call you boss or call you by your name in the future?"

"We're friends, Kevin. For friends, I will show my sincerity, and I am sad for you to say that. ”

"But why are you laughing, shouldn't you cry when you're sad?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the laughter gradually became louder.

After laughing for a while, Du Lin suppressed his voice, "If you're not kidding, then you can work under me first and mix up your qualifications." Next year and the year after, I will probably change places, and I will recommend you to Maggs when the time comes. ”

Kevin was stunned for a moment, "Change places, why change places, isn't this place good?", in Kevin's opinion, Otis City already has the potential to take off, once the city becomes a new model, Durin is very likely to cross a step and jump forward.

A confident smile appeared on Durin's face, and the sun of Dongsheng shone through the glass on his body, making him look irresistibly charming, "Life is short and long, I just chose the way I like the most, that's all." ”
