Chapter 927 Two Lawyers Are They Going to Be Issued? (3 more)
Speaking of this, Matt turned his head to Fudge: "The purpose of this charitable donation is very clear, it is for the poor people in Clinton District who suffered losses in the last bombing." Fudge, did you mention Old Lady Elena to some people? ”
Fudge hurriedly shook his head and denied it, he didn't dare to take this kind of "big credit": "No, I really didn't do it, I don't know any rich people at all......"
Looking at Karen's suspicious eyes and Matt's swarthy lenses, he suddenly understood: "No, I know a lot of rich people, but none of them have a conscience like this, and I don't know them well." ”
Matt nodded.
He and Fudge had previously worked as interns at New York's top law firm of Landman Zucker, where they met many wealthy people.
But when the American supergiant Roxon Company filed a lawsuit with a sick worker in its company, the matter was handed over to both of them, and they demanded a counter-lawsuit against the sick worker who was waiting to die.
Matt and Fudge eventually chose to leave.
In fact, once that case is won, they can stay at the law firm of Landman Zucker and become full-fledged lawyers.
It was a good thing that countless law students dreamed of, and the annual salary of one million was just around the corner, but in the end, it was given up by the two.
Therefore, in the face of a huge donation that seemed to fall from the sky, the two of them fluctuated a lot, but they did not mean to be ecstatic.
Many times, the pie contains either poison or a fish hook.
But with the knowledge and legal knowledge of the two, they didn't find any problems in this donation agreement.
One is that they are doing a good deed, and they will not touch the donation.
Even if there is a problem with the source of the money donated afterwards, it can only go to the donor, not to an unrelated bona fide third party.
Second, the content of the agreement is very simple, there are absolutely no hidden pitfalls, but there are a lot of loopholes to exploit.
At the level of these two Columbia J.D., it's pretty certain that there will be no follow-up risk to this money.
But who would give so much money to their office and these people in the Clinton area for no reason?
For a moment, the three elders fell into silence.
In the end, it was Karen who broke it: "We, shouldn't we inform Elena, her family will reconnect the water and electricity now, and there is basically no money for anything else." If you want to apply for this money, it will take a few days, right? ”
Fudge and Matt woke up from their thoughts.
Instead of worrying about the 600,000 yuan given to the office, they should help the victims of the bombing apply for donations as soon as possible.
After all, the donation to the office can be used for the time being, but the bombing case has caused many poor families to break windows and walls, leaking wind and rain.
Thinking of this, Fudge took out a large stack of documents from his bag: "I have the information of those people here, I will give you the phone later, and you can notify them to come and fill out the application form." ”
Karen: "No problem. ”
Matt: "I'll look at their profiles first to find out the families in the worst situation, and I can put their applications first." ”
The three of them got to work as they spoke.
……
In the afternoon, Luke and Selena came home from work and drove past the downstairs of the office to find that there were people coming in and out.
The good thing is that a lot of people here don't have cars, so traffic jams don't happen.
Luke probably understood what was going on, but Selena was curious: "What is this for, Fudge and Matt are going to send it?" So many customers come to your door. ”
Luke nodded repeatedly: "This is definitely going to be sent." Well, let's go up and have a look, maybe there's something else going on. ”
Selena shook her head: "I don't look like it." Although these people looked a little anxious, most of them seemed very happy, and they were not those little gangsters, so it was impossible for them to rob the office. ”
Luke stopped the car on the side of the road: "As for the office, the most valuable thing in it is estimated that the only clothes on Matt and Karen's body are the clothes." ”
Selena pushed the door open and laughed, "It's the same, Fudge's clothes...... Ha ha. ”
The two of them walked up to the third floor, and there were people going up and down the stairs constantly, which felt like a community gathering.
The people who used to make a lot of noise together are now a lot calmer, at most they silently exchange their eyes, trying to stab each other to death with their eyes, but no one quarrels and fights.
When they reached the third floor, Luke and the others crossed the stairs and tried to go to the door of the office, but they were stopped by several people.
"Hey, don't cut the line."
"Those who cut in line will be pushed to the back."
"I'm young, why don't you know how to line up?"
Luke was not angry either, and smiled: "We are not here to do business. ”
As a result, a bunch of people cast contemptuous looks, and a fast-talking black man had already spoken in a rap tone: "Well, ha~ Someone has already said this before." Brother~ Your set won't work. Obediently~ Go to the back and line up. ”
Luke, Selena: ...... You should be a singer.
Luke stopped talking to these people and just called Fudge.
Moments later, Karen emerged from the office in a thin blue blouse.
In New York in November, she was sweating on her forehead and her cheeks were red as if she had just exercised vigorously.
Waving to Luke and the others, she explained to the people in line, "No, they're not here to fill out the application form, their family is fine." ”
When the people in line heard this, although they were a little reluctant, they reluctantly got out of the way.
The people who caused trouble here just now have been driven to the back of the queue, and you don't want to repeat the mistakes yourself.
In fact, they only spend more time in line before and after, and the actual order of submitting the application form will still be according to their family's situation.
Of course, Matt and Fudge wouldn't say that to these people.
It's better to let them have a little scruples, otherwise these people can all squeeze into the office, and then don't do anything.
It took Luke almost a minute to pass a short distance of more than twenty meters and enter Fudge and Matt's lawyer's office.
The two of them were busy, but they each said hello to Luke, and Fudge said straight, "Sorry, I'm too busy today, what's the matter?" ”
Luke laughed, "It's okay. I just saw a lot of people gathered here downstairs, and I was afraid that something would happen to you here, so I came to take a look. ”
Fudge: "Thank you so much, it's just that it's okay for the time being, we're taking care of a little bit of the business we just received." ”
Luke looked sideways at the long line outside the office and nodded, "You guys don't look like a little business, this is the rhythm of getting rich." ”
Both Fudge and Matt paused, smiling wryly almost at the same time.
I want to say that Luke is right, these people in front of me are here to ask for money, not to give money.
I want to say that Luke is wrong, the two of them have indeed just made a big windfall, although the check for the first month's $50,000 has not been cashed.
