Chapter XXXVII
Lying on the bed, Edward tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, and the alpaca inside was in a big meeting:
What is this Broken World? How come there is no reward for completing such a big task?
If you don't have a reward, forget it.
At least while Burke was talking to George, George Duffy's peache-picking guys were supposed to be showing off their might in the makeshift campaign office in East Haven, and Chris couldn't hold them back, so he had to call me back to town.
Then the old lady, no, the old man, deliberately pretended to be submissive and begged them for a few days, or let me take away those precious rosters and other work results, but the other party blatantly refused, and insulted me by the way, a scene of "a big daughter-in-law scolded a foolish husband for three years and has no interest".
Then, at the critical moment, George Duffy made a phone call, explaining that thanks to Lao Tzu's wisdom and martial arts, he won the election, and from now on, those two goods will completely obey my call, and then Lao Tzu smiled slightly, the corner of his left mouth turned up to the lower eyelid, and the cup was broken, and the knife and axe hand led by Fericher poured into the door, no, the United States has to call a gunner, with all kinds of controlled weapons, and stood in front of me with a brush and bowed his head together, "Please give the order of the Dragon King/Young Master/Tiger Shuai/God of War/Shura/Jun!" ”
Although the author will write very unpleasantly in this way, the book will probably sell better?
……
The days that followed returned to normal.
Every day when he went to school and left school in the library apartment, he went to the district traffic court and paid several fines, which was naturally Hansen's masterpiece, but fortunately, it was all speeding or illegal turns, and the prohibited items he was worried about hitting the police and being found in the car did not happen.
The benefits of the election are also coming.
It's quite generous.
Although there is no system that does not open the treasure chest, there is no inexplicable subordinate who calls himself a tiger handsome/dragon king.
But the real world has a real reward.
George Duffy naturally reimbursed the money in full, and specially sent a professional accountant over.
Not to check the accounts, but to teach him how to do them.
This is the United States, the IRS is the biggest black hand, everything must be done according to their rules, otherwise it will be a prison + syphilis warning, George Duffy is old and sophisticated, and he knows the truth of giving people fish, which can be regarded as mentioning this kid by the way.
After a while, Edward's account had a full ten thousand dollars more - tax-exempt, as usual, two to one, five to the big one, thrown to the black big five thousand, I don't know why, he looked at this black guy very pleasing to the eye.
As for the handling of the Pondiak chieftain, it is even more indicative of the accountant's strong business skills and high work ethic: the car keys were given to Hansen as a reward.
The vehicle was sold to George Duffy for 1500, and the name was a special vehicle for the election - as for why the price is so expensive, this thing has been modified, specially used for elections, and it is a customized product, of course, it cannot be priced according to the ordinary large-scale industrial assembly line products.
So Edward has more money, Hansen has more cars, and George Duffy ...... Well, $1,300 in income tax deductible.
The car is still the same car, and the US government has not suffered a loss, with a GNP of 1,500 US dollars more, and continues to stride on the road to the world's largest economic power.
One chicken and three eats, to achieve a win-win situation, even if the IRS comes to the door, they can't find fault, not to mention that when the vehicle is transferred, they paid the stamp duty on the transaction according to the appraised price of $1,500.
As a result, the Ministry of Finance's revenues have increased...... $10, directly into the treasury.
Benefiting the country and the people, a proper double ...... Oh...... Five-win.
When I thought of contributing to the great Milican Empire, I suddenly felt a red ...... on my chest The tie is a little more colorful.
In addition, George Duffy also gave Edward and Chris an entry procedure in the company he partnered with Burke Kongsberg Jr., and as soon as the contract was signed, he was a nominal legal consultant, and he could get a thousand dollars for sitting in the office for a few hours a month, which was the average salary in this era, which was not low.
In return, Edward introduced Hansen to George Duffy and his team, and George's old subordinates began to infiltrate.
Chris was a little indignant about this, but Edward was not worried.
Hansen's gang is a rabble, that is, in this dark years of Yale, they have the opportunity to make waves, and when the social environment is roughly restored, they are good babies in the classroom, and the future legal elite, of course, is also worthy of George Duffy, but now it is worth exchanging them for a good price, which is the best use for Edward.
Anyway, he and Hansen are brothers, if it weren't for the moral cleanliness fetish, they might have been "buddies cave brothers" a long time ago, with this personal friendship, I believe they may not necessarily do things that are not good for themselves, and in the future, everyone will work under The Honorable George Duffy, maybe there will be a chance to work together to make some benefits.
Besides, after all, everyone is a newcomer and a good brother, so support each other so that they won't be turned around by the original group.
The big black man was so surprised by his way of eating and wiping clean without spitting out his bones that he was sullen for several days.
Edward thought he was still in the throes of losing Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and didn't pay much attention.
As a result, one night the big black man quietly entered the bedroom, poured half a bottle of holy water on his head, and looked at Edward in a rage, but he did not smoke all over his body, nor did he show peculiarities such as sheep's horns and hooves, but because of his anger, the hooked nose appeared more massive and his expression was distorted, but on the whole, this skin was the original form, Chris was immediately extremely happy, hugged him and shouted praise to God, finally did not have to worry about making friends with the devil.
Angry that Edward blackmailed him for $50 on the spot for cleaning up the bedding, the big black man happily threw out a Franklin card, said that he didn't need to look for it, and strode away.
Edward was secretly overjoyed that he had picked up $100 for nothing, but the black guy didn't look back and said, "Let's get some oyster sauce beef with slices tonight...... The kind of fresh pickles are sold in supermarkets in Chinatown......"
"I wish I could grow sheep's hooves now...... Edward's face darkened, and it didn't bode well as the Barbarian in Sequence 8 who seemed to be turning into a gourmet.
George Duffy also gave them a bigger and more unexpected surprise, two letters of recommendation, sent directly to the editorial office of the Yale Law Review.
Yale Law Review is a "school" publication, and the reason why it is called a school is because it is a reading group of students and professors at Yale Law School, and the editing work is all led by students, and the only participation of the school is to provide timely funding support every year.
But the status of this thing in the legal community of the United States and even the world is unbelievable and amazing, the editor is a student, but the author is not!
Each issue will feature articles written by professors and experts, including senior government officials or well-known barristers.
This is actually a top-notch professional publication.
Editors are selected from among the second-year students, and in the third-year students can be promoted to editor-in-chief.
Those who can become the editors of Yale Law Review are all outstanding among their classmates, and they are glorious events that can be highlighted in bold letters on their job resumes and even on their resumes.
Because it means that you can spare enough time to work as a social worker in addition to coping with heavy studies, which shows that you have full marks for professional ability, and the strict selection of manuscripts makes the editor's vision far beyond that of your peers, not to mention the operation of making useful contacts in advance to open the way for your future career.
This thing is really dazzling than the average scholarship.
There isn't a law student who doesn't want to be an editor.
But!
There are many monks and few porridges, and the selection requirements are strict, and the admission work can only be done after the editorial department meets and discusses it unanimously.
This is a typical aristocratic black-box politics, obviously Tom is as good as Jerry, and he is equally capable, but Tom was admitted, and Jerry is famous, the reason may be that Tom's family has produced a federal senator, and Jerry's family only has a federal representative.
Everyone knows about these dark disk operations, but they will never say anything, even if they are victims, they just think they are unlucky, and they will not stupidly jump out and shout injustice.
The reason is also very simple, this is the rule, either you don't enter, and if you enter, you must abide by it, otherwise you will be kicked out, and you will never have a chance to enter the game again.
When they got the news from the editorial department, the two jumped excitedly for half a day!
This battle has made a lot of money!
George Duffy is a good lawyer and a first-rate businessman, and he will definitely be a good politician in the future, oh no, a politician.
Edward's commotion helped him get a seat on Capitol Hill, and the reward he gave was not unrich, and it could even be said that it was greatly exceeded, not that Mr. George was a good man, but that he recognized the potential of Edward and Chris, and was willing to throw resources at them, and every dollar invested now would be rewarded tenfold or even a hundred times in the future, and by the way, it would also prevent his old friend Burke Kongsberg Jr. from digging into the wall.
What is the most valuable thing in Millican? Talent!
This strengthened Edward's belief in becoming an overtime worker in a capitalist society, using the law to protect this pool of vibrant dirty water, and to allow himself to ...... Fish more!
By the way, the trophy also included a very beautiful sepiolite pipe and Alicia's contact information, as well as a box of Havana cigars given to him by George Duffy, which is said to be Castro's favorite brand.
Until June, the days were very reassuring.
Hansen's gang also thought that they had climbed the high branches and did not bother Edward much, and the two people in the apartment were so grateful that even Edward thanked God that he could finally calm down and review.
It is worth mentioning that George Duffy is obviously a careful person, and after "buying" Chief Pondiak, he knew that the two brothers had no means of transportation, and generously "lent" two old cars to them.
Now when Edward drives a red Volvo P1800 two-door two-seater sports car back to Polo Park to visit relatives, he can always arouse envious eyes, claiming to be an old car that he has driven, but the odometer has only traveled 1000 kilometers, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a new car.
Fericher was very interested, and soon he bought a sky blue P1800 convertible, which is said to be very efficient and can already compete with Dammy.
