Heavy snow fell at Fort Laramie in October.

Abraham tightened his fur coat, which Lorqin had bought for him after he arrived at Fort Laramie.

I haven't seen him in thirty years, and his good friend is still his good friend.

Abraham couldn't help but think that he had come to the right place on his trip north.

"Hi Abraham!" Lorqin stood at the door of the city courthouse and greeted Abraham.

"Hi, Lorrin!" Abraham took two quick steps, "Why did you arrive so early?" ”

"Work ethic!" Lorqin handed the briefcase to Abraham and asked him to carry it for him, saying, "The reason why I am where I am today is because of my work ethic. For me, the customer is God, and I will always think a little more than them, go the extra mile than them, and create more value for them. ”

"Is that the secret of your success?" Abraham asked.

"No, it's much more than that." Lorqin pushed open the door of the courthouse, and the policemen on either side waved to him, and Lorqin smiled politely at them, saying to Abraham: "Passion, responsibility, innovation and ownership are the only way to success." ”

"Can you elaborate on that?" Abraham said.

"Of course, you're my best friend, and I'm certainly happy to share it with you." Lorchen led Abraham into the courtroom and sat down on the defense bench.

It's only 9 o'clock in the morning, and the court hasn't yet opened.

They have at least 1 hour left for small talk.

"Is your law firm really going to work?" Lorqin asked.

"Don't mention it, it sucks!" Abraham complained, "The court in Springfield is a mess, and the judges are always changing around, and I really don't know what they want to hear." Even though I know the law by heart, that's not what they want to hear – I'll tell you the truth, I took over three deals last year, and I lost them all. ”

"Haha!" Lorchess laughed and patted Abraham on the shoulder, "That's because you didn't find the right way!" In today's debate, I will give you an idea of what a real debate should look like. ”

"Uh...... I have a question that I don't know if to ask. ”

"Ask!"

"Have you ever been in a lawsuit before?" Abraham asked.

"No," Lorchen replied without hesitation. "But, my brother Abraham, what does it matter? I have no experience in litigation, but I know what it takes to win a lawsuit. ”

Abraham flipped through the file in his hand, "I still think ...... It's a bit of a hang! ”

"Be confident, man!" Lorqin said: "Don't look at the useless things, all you have to do is actually quite simple, is to stand there after the trial-"

Lorqin pointed to the defense bench, which was still empty, and said, "You have to use your loudest voice, the most confident tone, to tell everyone loudly: your client is innocent—"

"Not guilty? How can it be? Abraham said.

"—and then it's time for you to perform, listen, don't worry about why, you just have to be accountable to your clients! You have to tell everyone that your client is a brave gladiator, a man with a strong sense of justice, and a hero who saved Fort Laramie! The 12 witnesses in court are the props for your performance, and if you use them well, this will definitely be the best speech of your career! ”

"Uh, what if I still mess up?" Abraham asked.

Lorqin looked at him and smiled, "You overestimate your energy, Abraham!" I'll put it this way, even if you're a stammer, even if you're too nervous to say a word today, there's no way you're going to mess up this. You're destined to succeed today! ”

Abraham took a deep breath and asked, "What ......is this?" It's against my work ethic! ”

"Wake up, Abraham!" Lorqin took the coffee from the waiter, handed Abraham a cup to warm his hands, and continued: "I repeat, passion, responsibility, innovation and ownership, this is our work ethic!" You're not a three-year-old anymore, what's fair in the world? Where are the laws? Where is there any justice and goodness? If you don't eat people, others will eat you! ”

Abraham leaned intently in his chair, clutching the cup tightly in his hand.

He was a little nervous indeed.

He wanted to refute something, but thirty years of failure made him really unable to say anything.

Is he going to tell Lorqin how to become a destitute low-level garbage who has gone bankrupt countless times?

This cup of coffee in his hand, if converted into dollars, is his income from the first half of the month.

What else does he have to say.

After a long silence, he finally found a reason that was not a reason.

"But, Lorcel, my client, he's an Indian!"

Lorchen gave him a strange look and said, "Aren't the Indians people?" Isn't he your customer? He didn't pay you enough dollars? Or are you getting counterfeit money? ”

"No, I didn't mean it......," Abraham twisted his ass uneasily, before finally saying categorically, "Well, I'm fine!" ”

"That's right!" "All men are created equal—I remember what our laws say, right?" Lorqin said. ”

"Well," said Abraham, "there is a saying in the Declaration of Independence: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, and that their Creator has endowed them with certain inalienable rights, including the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." ”

"That's right!" Lorqin said, "Do a good job, Abraham! When this business is done, I will buy you a carriage and let you go back to Springfield in style, so that your wife who hates the poor and loves the rich has a good look! ”

"Yes, Lorrin! Thank you, Lorqin! ”

"You're welcome, we're brothers!" Lorchen said. "When this order is completed, I plan to open a consulting company, and you can follow me when the time comes!"

……

Abraham had a miraculous ability, and no matter how nervous he was before, when he stood in front of everyone, many magical words naturally came out of his mind.

It allowed him to go on and on for hours!

His wife, Mary Todd, once mocked him about it: "Abraham, you really should run for president!" I can guarantee that none of those dog-like guys in Washington are your opponents! ”

In the trial debate at Fort Laramie, Abraham didn't even show his skills.

In fact, he only spoke for a short time on the defense bench.

His client did not show up at today's trial, and he didn't even know what his client looked like.

It wasn't until near the end of his speech that he remembered that he hadn't even mentioned a word of the law.

"Uh...... This ......," he stammered a little, "and we consider these truths to be self-evident...... That's ...... Uh, my client ......"

The courtroom erupted in thunderous applause, drowning out his next words.

And so the trial ended!

……

The morning after the trial, Lorchen came to his hotel and took him to a carriage.

"Look, do you like it?"

That's a pretty carriage!

Abraham could have imagined that when he drove the carriage back to Springfield, his wife would rush out of the house and shout at him, "Oh, my dear Mr. Lincoln, you are wonderful!" I knew I wasn't marrying the wrong person! In the future, you must learn from Mr. Lorqin and strive to earn more money! ”

Lorqin pushed Abraham into the carriage, "Go up! I've got you! ”

On the wheel of the carriage sat a little Indian, shivering in the snow, like a poor little mole.

Abraham half-pushed, half-got into the carriage.

He was curious and groped around, he couldn't imagine that such a simple business could bring him such a huge income!

"Lorqin, I'm still a little un......sure," Abraham pulled Lorqin aside and asked quietly, "Why would they choose me if any lawyer could win a eucalyptus like this?" When I think about it, I still have some doubts. ”

Loerchen patted him on the shoulder, "You ordinary poor bastard, can they still try to do anything to you?" - We are friends, we have money to earn together, okay? ”

Abraham looked at Lorqin and nodded incredulously.

"Sir, are you ready to go?" The little Indian on the wheel asked.

"Let's go!" Abraham said.

He leaned out of the car window and said goodbye to Lorqin.

Yesterday, while they were still in the courthouse, they made an agreement that when they were back in Springfield and settled in, Abraham would return to Fort Laramie and join Lorqin's consulting firm.

From now on, I don't want to have anything and nothing, and it's serious to work honestly.

"Have a nice trip!" Lorkin waved his hand at the departing carriage.

"Wait until I'll get back!" Abraham shouted at Lorqin in the snow.

……

Four days later, the turtledoves in White Rock City received news from Kuaimalai.

The lawyer named Abraham Lincoln...... Because the carriage he was riding in slid into the cliff and unfortunately died.

The sturgeon and smoked fish who came back to report the news were a little heartbroken.

"Alas, turtledove, I only thought that the road would be slippery on a rainy day, but I didn't expect that the road would be so slippery on a snowy day......"

The beaver next to him coughed.

The sturgeon and smoked fish hurriedly said: "Don't worry, don't worry, I......'m making up for it."
