Edward wondered, "Can ......?" ”

"Hey, why don't you understand? You're such a clever person!! Hefner looked very impatient, he didn't expect someone to be so unenlightened.

"Yes, you hate me, I hate Stanford, actually, 99% of Americans hate this bastard! But that's not something you need to think about. I can't understand why you were so happy to take Harry Remus's order, but I don't see this God-given opportunity at all. ”

"I know a little bit about Franklin's case, and the situation is that Stanford wants to fire him, but Franklin doesn't want to, he wants to get a good professor's salary and then coach a group of Mexicans to fight guerrilla warfare at Stanford. But there's one thing, we have to understand, Stanford didn't hold any of his handles."

"Yes. Although the university has made a lot of accusations against him, judging by my professional ability, he has not violated any relevant laws. Edward nodded.

"That's not the end of it, so we can assume that the only basis for President Lehmann to expel Franklin is the latter's so-called seditious remarks, Ed, I'm not a lawyer, but I also know that the school's move is absolutely unconstitutional."

"Indeed," Edward confirmed.

"yes, what's your major, isn't that the First Amendment? Now that Franklin is the victim, you should defend him! ”

"And," Hefner leaned closer to him and lowered his voice, "think about it, how many eyeballs it would bring to you that people all over America hate him, and yet you defend him because you respect the law?!" Do you understand? The nationwide media will focus on the case. You will become the defender of the maverick constitution that stands in opposition to the mediocrity! Of course you'll be under a lot of pressure, but it's worth it! Got it? In the face of everyone's doubts, a person resolutely decided to defend the Constitution, at any cost. ”

"I myself am engaged in the media, and I understand the virtues of the media! You're the media's favorite target! Think, Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, Joan Bezie! The media across the country liked it. And you will be the next of them. ”

"Is there still that white Hitler, Rockwell," Edward smiled wryly, "this is simply a model of clowns!" ”

"Stupid," Hefner shuddered with rage, "I didn't know that guy was a clown, did you?" But do you think about how miserable this bastard was at the beginning, and his subordinates relied on cat food to fill their stomachs, and after accepting Hailey's interview?! ”

"His 'racial hatred', Volkswagen station wagon, was burned down by Southern racists?" Edward continued to tell bad jokes, but he understood something in his heart.

"You bastard, just play fool on me! After that, there is no shortage of this bastard, not only has money and a house, but also has a brainless big-breasted girl to stick up, don't you envy this day? ”

"Envy" Edward nodded honestly, this was a habit in his previous life, in fact, now he has long achieved this corrupt life.

"So, that bastard can make money from the media when he is ugly, you are 10,000 times better than him! And it's not for you to be a clown, it's for you to defend the Constitution, and in our country, what title can be more noble than the defender of the Constitution! I can't wait to go to Yale and get a Juris Doctor right now, and then go out myself! ”

Hefner was heartbroken!

"You're actually in a much better position than Franklin, that bastard is going to give a lot of interviews to reporters, and then after this bastard talks too much, he's going to have a lot of self-contradictions, and those media vampires are waiting for this opportunity, and they're going to publish a series of questioning and refuting articles to try to 'reveal' the truth. Franklin will be burned by then, you know...... Journalists are much more difficult to deal with than judges, and the former has no moral bottom line......"

"So," Edward seemed to understand Hefner's thoughts

"And you, as long as you are loyal to the Constitution, no matter how the media tricks you, you will be in accordance with the dignity of the Constitution, isn't it over......"

"Then, no matter whether this case can be won or not, it will not hurt you, there is only exposure comparable to the president, I really can't think of why I don't take such a case?!"

"Hugh...... I'll admit you said a lot," Edward scratched his head, "but you may have a misunderstanding of us in this line of work. ”

"Misunderstanding?" Hefner flicked the hem of his pajamas and leaned back on the couch, motioning for Edward to explain.

"This case is really, really tricky...... You know, my peers are so greedy, and if there's a little bit of oil and water on the case, they'll fight for it like mad dogs anyway. But in the Franklin case, there were no lawyers in the whole of Stanford and all of California...... What does this mean? ”

Hefner lit a cigar and asked curiously, "What does that mean?" I really don't understand. ”

It means that no lawyer wants to offend Stanford...... None of them ......," Edward explained, "Stanford is the most famous private school in the country, and you should be aware of his influence, and this time it is obvious that Principal Lehmann has secretly let go of something." So, no one wants to make a move. If they don't do it, I'll just rush out, will it ......?"

"Huh?" Hefner laughed

"Dear Ed, did Stanford put a spell on you and made you dizzy? Even if Principal Lehman said, 'Whoever makes me unhappy for a while, I'll make him unhappy for the rest of my life'? ”

"You, Edward Young...... It's Yale's pride, and Attorney General Burke admires you very much. I said, even if Principal Lehman wants to target you, do you think New Haven will mess with him? Besides, Principal Lehman does have a lot of hands and eyes, but don't forget, your sphere of activity is New England and New York, and he's in California, across the American continent, to pick you up? I don't think he has the ability to do that. It's a big deal, you pat your ass and leave! Can he still hunt you down for thousands of miles? ”

"Besides, don't you have a good relationship with Solomon, this guy is a Democratic Party, and he has never looked down on the Republican Party. Think about it, if a conservative university president were to come to New York and attack you...... Well, New York is the stronghold of the Democratic Party, and if President Lehman insists on getting along with you, it will simply add prestige and honor to you! ”

"So what are you hesitating about?"

Edward: "I actually called the San Francisco ACLU before I came to you, and their former president directly advised me not to meddle...... Well, I know he used to teach at Stanford, but I have to show respect for such a person's opinion......"

"Hahahaha!" Hefner laughed, "What a stepping stone, don't be afraid, Eddard!" He's a head-on clash with this guy! ”

"This ......" Edward hurriedly shook his head, the boss of the ACLU's California can be regarded as a real power figure in a sense, and he is just facing him?

"Ed, it's still the same sentence, your main battlefield is on the East Coast! East Coast! I think you know that no one can touch you there, right? Hefner sneered, apparently thinking that Edward was too cowardly.

Edward could only nod his head to this, he had been taught in his previous life that the largest city in the Far East was an adventurer's paradise in a certain era, and now he found that shanghai to Shanghang (lowercase shanghai in English means kidnapped and lured to a distant land) is really small compared to the United States.

Don't look at Hefner's current extravagant style, Lovely Dehua is sure that this guy must have taken a huge risk when he made his fortune, not to mention wandering on the edge of the law, he is simply going deep into the law, and then withdrawing at high speed before the law reacts, back and forth, so that after a long time, the law is in the shape of Hefner......

As for the other big guy, Larry Flint, that's not to mention.

The singing and weeping work he did in "Larry's Hillbilly Paradise" was enough to make Fericht awe-inspired, knowing that the underworld does not like to use violence directly, it is costly and low-returning, and they are more proficient in all kinds of deception or intimidation...... Yet Larry ...... You must know that the ceiling of his bar looked like a giant shower head, all bullet holes......

Risk-taking is engraved in the genes of every American achiever, and of course, it is also in the genes of the loser......

In short, in Hefner's opinion, Edward is simply crazy, and he is still hesitant to make such a good deal with high returns and low risks......

"Hugh, listen to me, this, this is a little bit of that...... You know I was invited by Stanford to be a visiting scholar...... Right, people paid for my daily routine to be properly arranged, which was much more comfortable than my time in New York, thanks to Principal Lehman...... Now, you're making me ...... I, I'm really ......."

"My God...... "Hefner, in a rare vain call to the Lord's name, "are you an American...... Oh, by the way, I just remembered that you still have half Chinese blood in you, right...... That's understandable. ”

Hefner stuffed the cigar into his mouth and spread his hands out, looking helpless, "I'm very puzzled, those Oriental people's thoughts, it seems that they care a little too much about face, of course I don't mean to offend, in fact, I've always wondered, why don't you seize such a good opportunity, now I understand, your half of the yellow blood is making trouble......"

"Yellow blood...... "Edward's face is full of black lines, Hugh, don't make up any new words, it sounds like it should be given to Larry Flint......"

"Hahahaha," Hefner laughed, "It seems that you haven't lost your sense of humor, which proves that your wisdom is still there, so I'll just say it." I have dealt with Huaxia people, so I know some ways of thinking, from the perspective of Huaxia people, Principal Lehman is equivalent to the master, and warmly invites you to his house as a guest, but you find out that the master is abusing his son, you consider that the master treats you, although your sense of justice makes you unaccustomed to his behavior, but in the end you still choose to be silent, I am right......"

"That's true" Edward was convinced, Hefner's results were not accidental, and his analysis of the human heart alone was already a top man.

"But," Hefner got serious, "listen to me!" I love my teacher, but I love the truth even more...... This sentence is almost the spiritual foundation of the Americans, and in the same way, I know that there are people in the Chinese who advocate the spirit of seeking truth from facts, and you don't care how I know this word. But have you noticed that the two are almost the same expression......"

"So, what are you waiting for? Listen to me, since the former president of the San Francisco ALCU doesn't advise you to meddle, then challenge him! Defeat him! ”

"Thank you, Hugh!" Edward expressed his sincere gratitude.

Hefner's words did not make him make up his mind, but at least they relieved him of many doubts.

Yes, seek truth from facts, just talk about things!

No matter how bastard Franklin is, Principal Lyman's actions do violate the spirit of the First Amendment.

Bastards also have human rights, and bastards are also within the constitutional protection of the United States, which sounds like a fucked person, but since the founding sages designed it this way, then just do it!

Whoever Tmd dares to make irresponsible remarks about Lao Tzu's defense of Franklin, who is to make irresponsible remarks about the concept of the founding sages, and even the founding sages dare to question it, I think you must have received rubles from the Soviet Union!

Master Hoover, you want to be a grass people...... Ay...... No, you have to call the shots for the citizens! Look at this co-spy is big and round! How can it be worth 500,000!

Tsk, figured out a logic Edward was relaxed.

But there is one more thing that needs to be solved before you can really make up your mind.

So, he turned down Hefner's carefully selected "rabbit" who was very enthusiastic about him, and only asked for a single room.

It's getting late, and there's no need to rush back, so it's better to wait until tomorrow morning.

Moreover, he was anxious to make a phone call, and if the matter was not properly handled, he would rather go back and get rid of this lawsuit that would bring him huge benefits.

After taking a shower, he put on his pajamas, leaned against the head of the bed, and dialed the familiar number.

"Hey, Ruth, it's me ......"

"Ed? Haven't slept yet? How are you doing in California? ”

"God, I forgot about jet lag...... I'll see, it's 11 o'clock here, and it's almost 2 o'clock here, so I shouldn't disturb your sleep......"

Edward remembered that there was a three-hour time difference between the East and West Coasts.

"You know, I'm usually working at this time, okay, tell me, what's important about you calling?"

"Of course I miss you...... Hey hey"

"Hmm...... I want you to ...... too," Roseberg's answer surprised Edward, and then he was overjoyed.

In the past, when he spoke like this, Rushberg usually listened to it and never answered directly.

"Ed, I really miss you...... Actually, I missed you like this a long time ago, but I didn't realize it myself at the time, because you were always there for me...... But now ......"

Ruth...... I, I ......" He didn't know what to say, if he could, he would fly to her at once, gently hug her, and do nothing, just sit quietly and willingly.

"I'm sorry, I'm sentimental again......" Rushberg's voice quickly returned to its usual calm

There was a lot of ridicule in her tone: "Got into trouble?" Thinking of your teacher? ”

Rustberg herself did not realize that this way of speaking and tone was typical of Edward's style, and before she knew it, she had become completely accustomed to his presence, and her words were also affected.

In a way, Rustberg's inside is already in the shape of Edward, but unfortunately in his mind......

And not a place where someone thinks day and night.
