Chapter 368: Invitation

368

Taylor was very happy when he returned.

Because on the plane, Professor Fletcher was amazed as he carefully examined the legal documents.

You must know that they are all experts in the law, and they have the most direct understanding of the vast judicial documents.

Taylor also had a sky-high price for throwing everything to Edward, and both he and Fletcher felt that it was impossible to get it all done.

No one can prepare such a huge amount of documents in such a short period of time.

At that time, as long as some of the Jewish prisoners' files are complete, it will be fine, at least it will be handed over to Moscow as a formality.

However, someone did it, and it was a fledgling young man.

Listening to Fletcher's praise, Professor Taylor was of course happy, doesn't it mean that he has a good eye, and he can find a talent at will.

When you reach the position of Taylor, you don't have that kind of worldly desire.

The old man had already passed 73, and went straight to 84, the male wind was not there, and the urine was sitting on the toilet for a quarter of an hour, and the female color was simply a floating cloud to him.

The same goes for money, if you need to, just ask, not to mention that after he retired from the dean of Berkeley Law School, he also hung the title of honorary dean for life, and all the daily applications were contracted by Berkeley, and he didn't need to think about it at all.

Power, if he really has a desire for power, then after the Nuremberg trials, he took advantage of the hot iron between the two parties to sell, sold himself for a good price, and then sought a position such as the Minister of Justice or the Supreme Court Justice, with his legal literacy, professional experience, and social prestige, it is not difficult to become a justice, and it can even be said that it is expected by all.

Thalford Taylor is somewhat pure, free from the shackles of low taste.

He does not belong to any party and likewise has no political allies.

But both Democratic and Republican presidents treated him with great courtesy, let alone senators.

Relying on his huge number of students in the judicial field, Taylor has a high legal literacy and a first-class eye.

He seems to have a hobby of more than 20 years of law school and has produced numerous federal/state judges and government judicial officials, and he seems to have a knack for spotting young talent and then nurturing it to shine brighter.

This is a good thing, a good thing that no one else can ask for.

Lovely Dehua couldn't even leave the departure hall on his own after the plane took off, so Joel borrowed a wheelchair and pushed himself to the nearest airport hotel.

Inside, he staggered to his wheelchair to his feet, looking at least twenty years of stroke experience.

Then he threw himself into bed, and then there was a loud snoring.

……

I don't know how long he slept, but he opened his eyes in a daze, and suddenly woke up, because it was a completely unfamiliar environment.

The next second, he nervously sat up from the bed and groped for his body, fortunately, his shirt and pants were ......

Only then did he sigh.

Unfortunately, Edward didn't know that when Joel closed the door and left, he stared at his ass for a long time before he reluctantly left......

……

Taylor's second trip to Moscow was undoubtedly a great success, as the Soviet Union received the petition and the attached evidence as well as the proxy letter, although there were many uncertainties after that.

But at least one thing is that the Russians are willing to accept some degree of involvement.

All the members of the Soviet Jewish Legal Defense Project rejoiced at this, but regrettably, were still unable to make a big announcement.

The project is virtually confidential, and all participants have signed a confidentiality agreement and are not allowed to disclose the information to the outside world.

Often, this kind of confidentiality agreement is not strong, because there are always people who can't resist the temptation of reporters and quietly sell the news to the newspaper.

But this time it was an exception, probably because they were both Jews, and although they were very busy internally, the outside world did not know about it, at best, they knew that there was such an organization, and no one cared about what they were engaged in.

This is the United States, there are so many NGOs of all kinds, and they are usually backed by powerful people behind them, if every reporter stares at it, then it must not be exhausted to death?

Edward slept for 18 hours that day, and when he woke up, he still felt weak and softened, and lay in bed for more than an hour before relieving.

After moving to the restaurant for a big meal, I called a taxi and rushed back to Alparodo, and there was not enough time.

In those days, all the energy of those days was spent on Soviet Jews, and their research and academic work could never be stopped.

At the same time, he had to find time to continue to talk to Dean Donald Kennedy on the Shockley issue, and to instruct Joel on how to defend Franklin step by step with steadfastness and precision......

It's all time-hungry work......

It's not that this guy wants to live such an ascetic life.

But over the years, he has clearly felt that if he wants to become a master in this country, it is far from enough to have a little background in his own family.

This country has always maintained a channel for the upward circulation of talents, and once it is favored by the real bigwigs, then not only can individuals get class jumps, but also have the opportunity to form their own families and interest groups.

The premise is that it must be outstanding enough and there must be convincing evidence.

The law is the best way for ordinary people to advance, and there are countless young talents in the kingdom, and if you want to fight your way through it, there is no other way but to work hard.

It's just that as he became more and more famous, there were more and more sudden things.

……

I was busy for a week. So he was invited to the appointment.

It wasn't until I got in the car that I felt a little weird.

He returned to New York yesterday to see his mom and grandparents, and to mentor his new law firm on the spot.

At the same time, I had to discuss with my colleagues in the Defense of Soviet Jews in New York what to do next.

This was Taylor's job, but the old man was too old to fly back and forth between the east and west coasts, so with a stroke of the pen, Edward was promoted from an ordinary executive member to the secretary general of the organization, and became Taylor's personal representative, responsible for traveling back and forth between California and New York.

……

Yesterday Yelena appeared in front of him, and the two immediately left traces in all areas of this villa.

In the end, Elena sent him an invitation to the banquet on behalf of Congressman David Hill, and said sourly that this is a private banquet for Lord David, the one-on-one kind, not to mention that ordinary people may not be able to get an invitation even if they are big bosses, the banquet will be absolutely wonderful, and there will be unexpected dishes to entertain.

Now the car that came to pick him up was an ordinary Toyota, which looked very gray.

This is very abnormal.

Now that oil prices are starting to rise, Japanese cars are fuel-efficient and cheap, and they are popular in the United States.

It is very popular with the people, but it is still a luxury American brand that is used for business reception, such as Lincoln or something, at least the car is wide and big enough, and it looks magnificent.

Use Toyota's bare crown to pick up people, but I see it, this thing is obviously a B-class car positioning, but the external dimensions don't look much bigger than the A-class, and it looks pretty good, but ......

Forget it, if it comes, it will be safe.

At this time, instead of pondering the model, it is better to close your eyes.

Edward was surprised by this invitation, he had no relationship with David Hill, that is, he was indirectly related to him in the Bergman case.

After the case was over, the two parties had no contact, and occasionally met on business or official occasions, just nodding and saying hello.

Master David is a promising Republican political star, and there is always no shortage of sycophants around him.

Edward hates these things the most, so sometimes when he sees him, he avoids it.

Besides, although he is non-partisan at the moment, anyone with a discerning eye knows that he can probably be said to be a quasi-Democrat, and he has a lot to do with Solomon, and his mentor Ruth Berg is a hardcore member of the Democratic Party.

In this way, it is better for everyone to keep their distance tacitly.

He immediately asked Yelena last night, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of Master David?

Elena gritted her teeth and didn't say a word, of course, this was because Edward temporarily became a hero of the dry road from a hero of the waterway on a whim.

But then, she shook her head.

Apparently she probably didn't even know it herself.

I guess it's going to be important.

It's just a little rookie who hasn't intervened in any secrets, how can he be favored by Master David?

Could it be that the uncle is so good?

Edward shuddered.

immediately comforted himself, if that was the case, it was estimated that he would not be so fanfare.

It's nothing more than throwing money out, and then saying "You can be a ......" and that's it.

"Am I or not?" Someone is lost in thought.

……

After about half an hour, I turned around and came to a small four-story building, which looked very old, at least older than Edward.

The exterior walls are mottled and the houses are featureless, looking like they were once factories or warehouses.

The car drove cautiously into the garage, and Edward had a waiter in a black suit pull open the door and ask him to take the elevator.

In the elevator, Edward discovered that the elevator did not have floor buttons, apparently a direct elevator for entertaining VIPs.

Before he could come to his senses, the waiter said, "The second floor is here, sir." ”

On the second floor, he was stunned, this is not right.

It stands to reason that it shouldn't be the highest floor, but when he thought that this dilapidated house was only four floors, he knew it in his heart.

It is estimated that Master David doesn't have much money, so he can only find this kind of small place to have a one-on-one meal, and he doesn't care about the amount of money, mainly to show his heart.

In fact, this is not bad, the environment is broken, but it can be opened, if you grill a skewer on the hour, a few cloves of fresh garlic, and two little girls wearing mink garlic...... No, old girl, this tastes right, it's better to have some more chicken racks......

Well, this is the United States, and it's all fantasy, and someone always thinks that he will be free that day, and he must open a restaurant like this......

Right now, maybe it's the black grilled steak that President Shimogi has hidden......

The moment the elevator door opened, he was stunned!

Inside, it is completely decorated according to the standards of the most luxurious restaurants in New York.

Wool carpets on the bare floors and dark blue velvet curtains by the windows are not commercially available, they are completely custom-made.

He is also an eye-opener now, no matter how luxurious it is, it is not enough to make him lose his temper, at most it is half a second, and then the whole energy can completely return to normal.

But now, he still can't help but "wow", but his mouth can no longer be closed.

The interior of the building has been completely opened, and it is actually a huge cube with three stories high, and an entire wall of it is a huge fish tank, or rather an aquarium, which is at least five meters high and 20 meters long, and the width is difficult to estimate because it is filled with water, but Edward estimates that it must be three meters......

It's not an exaggeration to say it's a swimming pool!

A variety of colorful tropical fish swim around gracefully.

The lighting in the whole room was quite dim, which was a high-end style, but the lighting of the fish tank was extremely bright, making him feel like he was in the underwater world, and Edward was a little breathless.

It's not that I haven't been to an aquarium in my previous life, and I've seen anything bigger than this.

But this was 50 years ago, and secondly, it seems that this is a private industry and is not open to the public!

It's winter, and winter in New York is hell cold, because the Alabachi Mountains and the Rocky Mountains run across the North American continent from right to left, and the cold winds from the north can drive straight in.

You know, in winter, the temperature in Washington is more exciting than in Moscow.

New York, of course, is no better.

It is often ten degrees below zero and snow, and the most terrible thing is that New York is close to the sea, and when the sea breeze blows, the humidity comes ashore...... If hell were in New York, it would never have been able to burn with a raging fire.

In this case, it is possible to maintain such a huge thermostatic aquarium and ensure that the temperature of the building is right, Edward is definitely a rich man now, but he has never seen such a waste of energy...... Or is it that the living habits of the traverser in the previous life still maintain inertia?

"Hey, Ed," David Hill walked out of the darkness.

Over forty years old, personable.

"Oh, oh, Mr. Ciel, it's an honor to meet you," Edward quickly gathered his thoughts.

But obviously he was seen by the other party just now, David Hill's eyes flashed a hint of triumph, but he still shook hands with him enthusiastically, "Just call me David...... Come and sit down."

With that, he was ushered into a dining table 20 feet from the fish tank.

"It's just the right distance from here, and we can eat and enjoy these beautiful fish...... David Hill said with a grin.

Nearby, a waiter took off Edward's coat and diligently pulled open the velvet upholstered seat.

He didn't know how to answer, so he smiled and sat down.

David Hill's hand really shook him.

"These fish are so beautiful," he said after a moment, complimenting him.

"Yes, I love the ocean and I love diving, but," David Hill shook his head, "I'm so busy, so I have to choose this way......"

"It's so expensive," Edward finally said.

"No, no, no, it's not expensive," David Hill smiled, "Well, let's order food first and talk while eating." Actually, there should be candlelight on the table today, but I think a candlelit dinner between two grown males, it seems, it seems, it seems"

"It's good, it's good" Edward hurriedly wiped his sweat, it seems that Brother David is also a straight man, this is easy to do.

It's good to be in the United States that this ubiquitous is unguardable, and you think you're meeting a like-minded friend, but the other party just wants to x you......

As for the dish, it is still like that, it is nothing more than steak and lamb chops, but the taste is really good, and it looks like blood and mush, but it is sweet and delicious in the mouth.
