In the garage of Nine Liberty Boulevard, on Tommy's desk, there is the indictment sent to Actor by Lotus.

It states that they have filed a complaint with the Massachusetts state court over the infringement of computer software by Actor, and the court has filed a case and issued a subpoena.

The receipt of the complaint with the subpoena means that Actor has a 30-day time limit to respond, and the right to enter a default judgment if the court and L do not receive any response within 30 days.

"When Lotus first sent a lawyer's letter, I didn't see you pay so much attention to it." Holly walked over with two cups of coffee, put one of them in front of Tommy, and said.

Tommy picked up the phone and dialed a number: "Charles, I'm Tommy, I received that belated complaint, I need the help of the association, thank you very much, if you stand in front of me, you can feel my sincerity, good, California, mainly California chapters in the early stage, OK." ”

After hanging up the phone, Tommy picked up his coffee and took a sip, his eyes were still quietly looking at the indictment, and he said: "If I attach great importance to it the first time and reply seriously, how can the other party sue, if the lawyer's letter can scare people, the United States does not need the exaggerated system of the three-level court system, I am not legally illiterate, in high school, I have considered countless times whether I want to go to law school in college, and then become a lawyer in the future, but in the end, the computer is obviously more attractive, so I gave up my dream of becoming a lawyer." ”

"It's a pity that I didn't see you become a sven scum in a suit and leather shoes, I imagined in my mind what you look like as a lawyer, to be honest, it's still quite handsome, at least more pleasing to women than the current raunchy appearance." Holly didn't feel any nervousness in Tommy's tone and voice at all, and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

What she said just now was to test it, to see what Tommy said before, and when the other party really did it, would she be scared and overwhelmed, obviously Tommy Hawk's performance at the moment was very good, at least better than her Holly Keener, because when she got the news, she sat nervously in the bathroom for about half an hour, thinking about whether she would be affected if the Actor company finally lost the lawsuit.

Susan Curtis, with a women's suit taken from the dry cleaners, walked in from the outside, pulled down most of the garage shutters to cover up, took off the T-shirt and jeans on her body at this time, and began to change clothes only in her underwear.

"Didn't I prepare two sets of OL women's clothes for you?" Tommy looked up, leaned back in his chair, admired Susan's change of clothes, and asked, "I remember you brought back a set yesterday, why did you go to the laundry to get it again?" ”

Susan put on her white shirt and buttoned them one by one, as if she were saying a very common little thing: "Last night, I met two cops who were overturned, and I was forced to serve them for free in the back alley, and those two bastards stained my clothes. ”

"Oh my God......" Holly looked at Susan in shock, and then turned to look at Tommy, who was unresponsive: "Tommy, did you hear what Holly said?" We've got to do something, she...... She was intimidated by the police. ”

Tommy turned his gaze to Holly, "What we can do is to help her rent a place nearby, so that Susan doesn't have to go back to the slums of San Jose to live in it, so that she can avoid all the troubles." ”

It's not for nothing that California is now called a paradise, with the rich calling it a vacation paradise and another being a drug paradise, and while a small Cuban cigar can't be shipped to the United States because of the ban, tons of cocaine are being sent from Mexico to California every day, and then like coffee to all corners of the United States, to meet the needs of the American masses.

It's not just Stanford and other university students who start their own businesses in California, countless twelve or thirteen-year-old slum kids have also started their own businesses, as long as they take out two hundred dollars of principal and have a broken car that can run to the U.S.-Mexico border, then congratulations, you can open a small cocaine street convenience store and become an entrepreneur.

As long as you don't die from black and black, the business will be like a snowball, from earning a dozen yuan a day, it will soon grow to hundreds of yuan, and then to thousands of yuan in a single day.

People from Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and other places even made a special trip to California to buy goods, and the most exaggerated means of purchasing goods were strange, and the most exaggerated ones even drove school buses, carrying a bunch of poor children to pretend to be schools for long trips, all the way to California, directly filling the children's school bags with drugs, and then driving back to the state to sell them at high prices.

The drug business is so prosperous, in addition to the influx of drugs, Americans of all walks of life take it as a fashion, the most important thing is the performance of the California police officers.

The richer the police in charge of the slums, the richer they are, and they can unscrupulously collect black money from every cocaine convenience store and bully the poor poor people, while the drug dealers who are getting bigger and bigger, in order to maintain stability, will take the initiative to help the police subdue those who are bullied.

So Susan said that she was forced to serve for free by two high-profile police officers last night, which is normal for California.

In the eyes of those police, the people in the slums are not human, and those poor people don't even know where to complain about themselves, even if they call 911 to call the police, there will be friends in the police force who will notify them in time, and then as long as they find those local snakes in the slums, they will be happy to shut up the other party completely.

"Tommy is right, Holly." After Susan put on her shirt, she walked to the side and pulled out the seat belonging to Jason, lifted her legs, took out her stockings and put them on, and said with a smile to Holly: "Don't worry, Mark is looking for a suitable house nearby, and when I share a house with him and move out of there, this problem will be solved." ”

“…… But those two cops ......," Holly said, a little shocked.

"They're just like that in the ghetto, as long as they leave those areas, they're all perfect gentlemen, and as long as I don't go into the slums, I don't know my police, they're all very kind to me, so I don't want to be like that again, I just have to try to make myself rich." After putting on her stockings and dress, Susan walked up to Tommy, picked up a cigarette and lit one:

"Is there anything scheduled for today? I didn't have any flowers, so I went to the training classroom to continue to teach those people some issues that should be paid attention to in formal work, and then called various companies to ask about the women's work performance. ”

"The human resources department at AMD headquarters contacted me and said that they also wanted to have five female clerks in the secretariat, and the ten clerks we sent before performed very well, at least from the documents and reports, they were completely different from university students, and they would only be exposed when they talked." Holly struggled to break free from the previous shock and said to Susan:

"But they don't care about that, they don't go out of their way to chat with them anyway, and besides, they want their headquarters to be like the White House, and there are four women with signs in charge of the front desk."

"That's nine of them, and four of them are prettier, right?" After listening to this, Susan asked Holly.

Holly nodded: "That's right, but there's another company called ECDA that also needs five clerks, women, and it's better to put up with the taciturn or nervousness of the nerdy engineers, because ECDA will send them to their company's engineering and R&D department to help those engineers make coffee and solve all kinds of trivial entry work to ensure that they focus on product development and design." ”

"Engineers are the best men to deal with compared to the guests, and when I interned at Symantec, I felt like I was in heaven, surrounded by polite men, and even if they were interested in you, they would only walk by when you went to the pantry, chat while you were making coffee, and then carefully ask the woman to go to the movies on the weekend." Susan spewed smoke out of her nose with skillful movements, and said with a smile:

"I'm curious, is there only one option for engineers to date women and watch movies?"

"You'd better get those women used to their boredom, and get some guy out there to go to a movie with her, suddenly become a millionaire, and then muster up the courage to get ready to have a formal relationship with her." Tommy smiled at Susan.

"Thank you for the kind reminder, Tommy, I'm going to work." Susan twisted out the cigarette butt and threw another piece of gum in her mouth before exiting the garage.

When Susan left, leaving only Holly and Tommy in the garage, Tommy looked back at the complaint: "How's our human resources company's small business doing?" ”

"Seventy-nine women have been sent to nine companies, large and small, doing the most basic computer clerk work, and there are still 40 training classrooms in progress, and Gary Goode has asked me several times if I am considering increasing the number of classrooms and computers." Holly sat down on the desk table in front of Tommy, gently removed the high heels from her feet, put one foot on Tommy's knee, and bent the other foot to her calf, gently massaging her calf.

Tommy leaned back and kicked his feet on the ground, pulling the chair back a bit, distancing himself from Holly, and said, "I don't care how many prostitutes are sent to Silicon Valley, I mean how much money is on the account?" ”

"Counting the blank paper expenses that have not been settled to the other party, if you count the salaries that have not been settled to the women, it will be about 100,000 yuan." Holly stared at Tommy with a playful look: "You just watched Susan change her clothes, I thought you would be a little interested." ”

"You contact Sophia and ask her to settle the terms and the like, in short, use the loan to transfer the money from the human resources company to Actor." Tommy ignored Holly's teasing and said to himself.

Holly didn't care to continue to provoke Tommy, and after a moment of stunnedness, she asked, "Loan?" ”

"Of course, it's a loan, so that even if Actor loses the lawsuit, take out an IOU of 100,000 yuan to ensure that there is a debt dispute, and the end result is that Lotus can't even get a piece of toilet paper." Tommy Hawk said to Holly.

"Didn't you keep saying that Actors don't need a lot of money? What's more, even if it loses, this company has nothing to lose to Lotus. ”

"It's not very likely to lose, but we have to be prepared so that even if Lotus wants to forcibly take our company assets, we will have to wait until the HR company settles the debt first, and then the HR company will throw them a few computers to make sure they can't find any of the data they want." Tommy put his fingers on his forehead, lowered his eyelids, and said:

"And the actor must have at least twenty or thirty thousand yuan to deal with the court, Sophia wrote a letter of defense and sent it to the Massachusetts court, the letter of defense was written by herself, but she just needed to borrow the name of a law firm, and the other party charged four hundred yuan, and this kind of litigation has multiple stages, the lawyer's letter is the first stage, we don't have to spend money if we don't respond, it is currently the second stage, the case is filed, we also chose the cheapest defense, because only about a few hundred dollars is enough, otherwise it will be jurisdictional, The other party's allegations were flawed and other issues were filed, and the delay required professional lawyers to fly to the Massachusetts courts to deal with those judges, and the fees were probably at least a few thousand dollars, and we were required to charter a round-trip airfare. ”

"You're like a litigator now, Tommy." Holly looked at Tommy's appearance and said with a smile.

Tommy exhales and gulps down the coffee in his cup:

"And what we need to hold onto, that is, the third stage, is the disclosure of evidence, that is, the lawyers on both sides have begun to collect evidence, and they have begun to accumulate strength, ready to kill the opponent or force the other party to compromise completely."

"I still have a question, you just said that you need 20,000 or 30,000 yuan to deal with, why did you borrow 100,000 yuan, most of that money is a blank paper income that needs to be settled." Holly continued.

"Suspend the settlement of the company's blank sheet income, lend it to the Actor, and then the Actor will use the money to buy a batch of the cheapest computers that can run MS-DOS, support the training courses held by those SSDs at other universities, and a symbolic donation of one or two to each family is enough, and remember to ask the school TV station and the school newspaper to help you take pictures." Tommy looked at Holly and said in a calm tone.

"You're not afraid of those companies getting you in trouble?" Hearing Tommy say that he would stop settling the fees that should have been returned to the accounts of the human resources directors or founders of those employing companies, and that he would embezzle the money to buy computers, Holly's eyes widened, and the movement of bending up and massaging subconsciously stopped, and a pair of long legs also subconsciously straightened.

This bastard is really bold enough to stop the settlement of the blank paper income that should be returned to some people in those companies and divert it for other purposes!

"Be honest and tell them that we're in trouble, they'll understand, it's just a pause, and it's not that they owe them money, and those companies enjoy the beautiful female clerks I provide to them, and they save so much money, they should understand that everything has a fucking price, and from the day they reach the cooperation, they know that this is the consciousness that adults should have." Tommy rubbed his chin for two days without taking care of it, and there was some stubble on his hands:

"What's more, I'm still going to wait for the training courses in various schools in California to appear to be operating, and then I will let you stop the salaries of these women who have just worked steadily, on the grounds that the company has been sued and entered the stage of evidence disclosure investigation by both parties, in order to avoid trouble, we want to mediate, in order to survive, express submission, so we need to hand over accounts, data, etc., including capital flow for the other party to check, so the salary is suspended, if you are unhappy, you should know which company to teach them to greet."

Holly sat motionless on the desk, just stupidly looked at Tommy Hawk who said these words, and saw her show this expression that was more shocked than Susan being bullied by the police, Tommy seemed to be interested, he walked over to Holly, parted the other party's legs, put her on the desk, looked down at Holly condescendingly and said:

"When Lotus first sent a lawyer's letter, I didn't pay as much attention as I do now? I'm not paying attention, I'm excited right now, but don't worry, I'll help you pay for your laundry. ”
