At twelve o'clock in the morning, Sophia yawned, with a small trolley case in front of her, standing on the side of the road outside her graduate dormitory building, looking like a young girl preparing to elope.

Tommy Hawk drove slowly from a distance in the tattered Stingray, and finally stopped in front of her, lowered the window and greeted Sophia: "Good evening, Sophia, it looks like going to meet an idol doesn't cheer you up." ”

"The main reason why I can't keep up my spirits is that you choose red-eye flights to save money." Sophia opened the trunk angrily, put her trolley box in it, and then sat in the co-pilot's seat and looked at the stingy Tommy Hawke next to her:

"You can't just fly over during the day, find a hotel for one night, and meet that lady Delia Keys the next day? Red-eye flights have strict requirements for what passengers can carry, and I can't even bring a few more sets of clothes. ”

I thought that this bastard should be as sleepy as himself, but at this time, Tommy's whole person looked radiant, with an angular face, coupled with a monotonous black suit, white shirt, and dark blue tie, which made him give people a very cold feeling, even with that blonde hair, Sophia still couldn't feel Tommy's sunny temperament.

"Luckily, you're still alive." Sophia put her finger in front of Tommy's nose to feel his breathing, and then shook the small cross hanging from the car to Tommy, making sure that Tommy was not reacting abnormally, and then buckled up her seatbelt and breathed a sigh of relief:

"Recently, "The Exorcist" was rebroadcast on TV, and your dress late at night made me think you were possessed by a demon."

After helping this guy do some legal related part-time work during this time, Sophia has noticed that this guy named Tommy Hawk has many faces, and the face he wears can be adjusted at any time according to the different circumstances he is in.

He looks like a friendly country boy in front of the camera in front of the ordinary people in Florida, and when the bastard even peddles software, he deliberately amplifies his Northeast accent just to add intimacy.

When he needs to accompany him to consult with his law school teacher, the bastard becomes an inquisitive and polite gentleman, adding honorifics to every word the teacher says.

In the face of his fellow brothers of the SSD Brotherhood, he is like an idiot who has let himself go.

If she hadn't seen the other side of him, Sophia wouldn't have believed that this guy could do the foolish act of setting up an inflatable pool in the front yard of the Brotherhood House and then diving wildly from the second-floor terrace with a bunch of fools.

Diving is not to participate in the Olympics, but to deliberately splash a large wave to wet the clothes of those girls who come to participate in the small public welfare exchange meeting, so that the girls' shirts are wet, and the temptation of wet body is staged, even if he is chased and beaten by a group of girls, he just laughs like an idiot, and he can't see that under the appearance of an idiot, there is a careerist soul who wants to overthrow Lotus.

With Holly, this guy always deliberately shows that he is a little smarter than Holly, so that Holly always wants to win a game not to be outdone.

With Susan, he is like Susan's father or brother, tolerating all the mistakes of that woman, and making Susan work harder in guilt.

Dealing with Mark is more like an instigator who constantly encourages him to do some potentially illegal data collection work that he would never do himself.

Get along with Jason...... Probably the relationship between these two guys is a bit complicated, they are each other's fathers and each other's sons, they are extremely disgusted with each other, and at the same time, when they need help, they think of each other for the first time.

And with himself, Tommy, the bastard, vividly illustrates the face of the capitalist who should be sent to the gallows, that is, absolutely stingy.

This bastard can even do a meeting with himself after a meeting, because he has to go on a date with his girlfriend, he has no change in his pocket, borrows money from his own unpaid self to buy Torjan, and then pays off his debts afterwards, he is obviously angry, but the bastard can always find all kinds of gimmicks to attract him and let him continue to help him.

"I think you're looking like a White House bodyguard for the Secret Service in the movie, are you going to see Delia Case, or are you going to see Ronald Reagan?" Sophia pushed the black-rimmed frame on the bridge of her nose and asked Tommy, who was driving.

"Do you know what is the most important thing about meeting a lawyer? Frankly, when many people meet a lawyer for the first time, because they feel that the lawyer is a stranger in their hearts, they habitually pretend to say something that I don't know, I don't know, and then the lawyer earns his consulting fee, goes around and investigates a lot, and finds that the evidence points to him It is not clear at all, it takes a long time, and finally returns to the situation when he first met the lawyer, and he will only say this time, yes, I have done it. Tommy Hawk turned off the car radio, didn't ask Sophia about any intention at all, and lit a cigarette himself:

"I dressed so simply, plainly, it was an attitude, and I didn't want to waste my time, money, and in the lawyer's mind, I only got the price that the employer was a fool."

Sophia leaned her head back in her chair and looked out the window at the Stanford night view: "Do you think you are really sure to convince Ms. Delia Keys to take your order?" As far as I know, those large white-shoe firms rarely take on business that is not well-known, such as a small company like Actor, which is not well-known. ”

"Miss, at the beginning, everyone else in the Actor Company thought that it was impossible for me to sell a set of software in Florida, but now in the past two weeks, 8,000 sets have been sold, and the poor ghost has the best money, what is the next sentence?" Tommy asked rhetorically as he held the steering wheel.

Sophia replied casually: "The rich man's money is the hardest to make?" ”

"No, I'd rather change it, the heart of the litigator is the most greedy, and it may be difficult to earn money from the litigator, but it can satisfy the greed in her heart, ask her for a favor, it's not too difficult, it's nothing more than a conversation completely different from fooling the poor ghost." Tommy said in a calm tone:

"A process of filling each other's inner desires."

Davis Polk & Associates, headquartered in New York, has 12 offices in the United States, and California, a land full of wealthy people, has two exclusive locations, so that the wealthy can choose nearby.

The Northern California office is in San Francisco, and the Southern California office is in Los Angeles, but Tommy didn't choose these two offices, instead, he flew to Washington with Sophia, because the partner, Delia Keys, was not in California, but in Washington, D.C.

Delia Case, after Holly's initial communication with her, expressed some interest in this business, but hoped to talk to him in person, but for a little minion like Tommy, it is tantamount to a fool's dream to expect a partner of a white-shoe law firm to deign to fly to talk to him, and the best way is not to think of yourself as a potential employer, but to have a small role that asks for others, and obediently flies to Washington.

So Tommy thoughtfully chose a cheap red-eye flight for himself and Sophia that took off late at night, so that he slept in the economy class of the plane for five or six hours, landed in Washington just in time for dawn, and went to the office on K Street at nine o'clock to meet Delia Case.

When the two of them boarded the plane and sat down, Sophia was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, she looked out the dark window, and then looked at Tommy, who was sitting next to her, as if thinking about something, and asked:

"What are you thinking?"

"Aren't you sleepy? Miss Sophia? Tommy asked, turning his head to look at the brown-haired girl who looked a bit like Otileia, and smiled.

He couldn't understand why women like Sophia and Otilia who looked silly and cute would run off to study boring jurisprudence, and this kind of woman seemed to be completely impossible to become a litigator in a courtroom, but at most a clerk or a judge's assistant in a certain courtroom.

"Not too sleepy, if you want to talk about the dos and don'ts when you arrive in Washington, I don't have a problem." Sophia struggled to drive away the drowsiness and smiled at Tommy, but she actually had another plan in her heart, and chatting with Tommy was just a foreshadowing for another thing.

It's just that Tommy didn't give her any chance to lay the groundwork, this guy simply took out the blindfold and put it on his head, and said to Sophia sincerely:

"I'm dying, if you're not sleepy, can I lend your shoulder to sleep for a while? The back of the plane is too hard, my cervical spine is not very good, and you don't want me to see Delia with my neck crooked, not like the founder of the company, but more like the victim of some kind of case. ”

"You're such a bastard, Tommy Hawk, and managed to finish the lines I was meant to say." Sophia's voice was so desperate that she was about to cry:

"I wanted to listen to you perfunctorily, and then tactfully suggested that the back of the chair was too hard, can I sleep on your shoulder for a while, you knew early on that I was going to do that, so I deliberately said it first, right?"

"Next time remember to talk to the countryman, it's better to be direct, although I don't have the money to pay you, I don't mind being a gentleman." Tommy reached out and took off the glasses on Sophia's face, and then took off his own blindfold, helping the other party put them on carefully, making sure that the blindfold covered the other party's eyes and would not be stimulated by the light again, and gently leaned the other's head on his shoulder:

"Good night, Miss Sophia."

This one will be the one tonight, and the three will be tomorrow...... Thank you for your understanding

It's not that I'm lazy, it's just that I'm going to work hard to find out the details of some legal information, as well as the information of the software industry, after all, fooling lawyers is different from fooling ordinary people.
