Chapter 928 Return Gifts, Treats, Suggestions (1 more)
Fudge thought for a moment and explained, "This is legal aid, and there is no charge. ”
Luke sighed, "Well, it looks like you'll have to wait a little longer for a treat." ”
The two paused again, and Fudge hurriedly said, "In the evening, just tonight, after work, we will invite you and Selena to the bar." ”
Luke smiled and nodded, "Okay, we won't bother you guys, bye!" ”
At this time, Karen happened to stand at the door with two boxes of things, and when she heard this, she said, "Luke, the cake you gave us last time was very good." You just happened to be here today, so you can bring this back. ”
As she spoke, she handed the item in her hand to him.
When Luke saw it, it was two boxes of doughnuts.
Looking at the obviously ordinary packaging, as well as the brand that I have never heard of, it should be a "thank you gift" from those neighbors to Fudge.
He couldn't laugh or cry, but he couldn't refuse.
I made a joke, and I could only accept it even if I gritted my teeth.
Saying thank you, he said to Fudge and Matt, "You'll be in touch after work in the evening." Well, by the way, I wish you all a prosperous business. ”
Then he took these two boxes of donuts and hurried to flash people, otherwise Karen would still feel that this "return gift" was too light, and it would be troublesome to bring him two more boxes.
Leaving Fudge and Matt to smile wryly again.
In the next few days, their "business" here will definitely be prosperous, but these "businesses" are all unprofitable.
Why does a certain police detective always like to say such heart-piercing things?
Luke and Selena squeezed out of the office all the way, and when they got into the car outside the building, Selena wiped her forehead: "There are too many people, I am sweating hot." ”
Luke handed her two boxes of doughnuts, "Try them." ”
"What kind of brand is this, why haven't I seen it?" Selena said and opened the box casually, picked up one and took a bite: "emumu!" The taste is average, and it's too sweet. ”
Luke: "Give it the nuggets, doesn't it like sweets?" ”
Selena thought about it, and casually threw the two boxes of doughnuts into the back seat: "Gold nuggets, these are all yours." ”
Nuggets: "Huh? ”
Selena: "Stop complaining, it's sweet. ”
The nugget hesitated, but still kept his mouth shut.
It is now increasingly picky about its food, but mainly for savory and raw seafood.
Something like a doughnut, as a person with severe sweetenlustre, still can't refuse.
After successfully throwing two boxes of sweet doughnuts into the bottomless pit level gold nuggets, Selena asked: "Fudge, they don't like helping people fight lawsuits, but like doing volunteer work, and if they don't make money, what will they use to pay rent, water, electricity, and property management." You seem to have said yesterday that their bills were full? ”
Luke drove the car through the back door and parked in the first-floor garage: "Just ask them at night." ”
Selena: "You seem to appreciate both of them?" ”
Luke hehe: "Among the lawyers we have met, the character of these two should be ranked in the top three, and the most lacking thing in American lawyers is character." ”
Selena was speechless.
To use that common saying, it is to say: American lawyers, all of them are shot and some are wronged, and half of them are shot, but there will be too many fish that slip through the net.
Lawyers with good character are just as rare as capitalists who don't want to make money.
At half past seven in the evening, Luke receives a call from Fudge inviting him and Selena to go for a drink at Jesse's bar on the corner.
Luke and Selena quickly went out and walked for less than two minutes before entering the nearest bar.
The bar business is average, there are not many people, and the business in the Clinton area is not very good.
The Big Three were at the bar, and Luke and the two walked over and sat down next to them.
The three of them all looked a little tired, but they were in good spirits, and they were talking and laughing happily.
Seeing Luke and the two, all three smiled and greeted each other.
Fudge waved his hand boldly: "Whatever you want, I'll treat you tonight." ”
Luke's nose took a slight breath and he could smell the high imitation smell of the whiskey in front of Fudge.
Looking at the glass, there was a gray-black "olive" thrown around, and Luke thought that it was either an olive moldy, or it was not an olive at all.
He hurriedly spoke: "Corona beer, two bottles." ”
The proprietress in a red and black plaid shirt turned her head to look at him: "Are you an adult?" I think I need to see your driver's license first, and you don't need a student ID card. ”
Luke, looking at Fudge.
Fudge: "Jesse, he's my friend, how can he be underage, just drink." ”
Jesse pouted, "You don't look like an adult either." Except, of course, faces. ”
Fudge: "......"
After critting Fudge once, the proprietress Jesse opened two bottles of Corona and put them in front of Luke and the others.
She also had a good impression of Luke's tender face, so she said something.
Otherwise, in this place in Clinton District, no one cares about the underage hi grass, and the ghost cares whether Luke drinks or not.
The five of them chatted and talked about the "unprecedented pomp" of today's office.
Luke listened and suddenly spoke, "According to you, most of them mainly want to repair the house, right?" ”
Fudge took a sip of his whiskey: "That's right. ”
Luckmore rubbed his chin: "You say, wouldn't it be better to help them find a cheap home repair company?" ”
Fudge shook his head when he heard this: "Impossible. There is no cheap repair company in New York, and it will cost at least one or two hundred dollars to repair a door, which is not cheap. ”
Luke: "So, what about forming your own and finding a few more locals?" ”
Both Fudge and Matt were puzzled: "Locals? ”
What does this have to do with the locals? Locals work to make money, and it is impossible for them to do good deeds.
Luke: "The fact is that maintenance companies need profits to keep themselves afloat and hire workers, and the price can't be too low, and we can cut expenses in both ways. ”
Fudge: "Tell me about it. ”
Luke: "If you find some locals to help, and then hire a few skilled workers from outside, then there is no maintenance company to make money from it, and you can simply hire workers, and the maintenance cost can be much lower." ”
Fudge shook his head again and again: "Impossible." Even if you hire someone here, it won't be much cheaper. ”
Luke smiled: "I know two candidates, I can let them do it, and they are also very familiar with transporting and loading and unloading construction materials." ”
Fudge didn't understand for a while, but Matt's expression moved: "You mean, Charlie and Raka?" ”
Luke nodded: "That's them, and this matter can be directly talked to Temple and Raqqa's mother, and let them work in the name of being community volunteers, which happens to be a charity fund this time." ”
Matt and Fudge both frowned in thought.
Luke suggested this because Charlie and Raqqa were minors, and if they didn't get them right, they would get into trouble.
Once this starts, it's going to be a big and formal project.
Fudge and his firm also need to come forward, so they have to consider these legal issues even more.
