Chapter 49: On the necessity for young men to learn popular dance steps

In a nine-bedroom vacation home in the San Francisco Bay Area, Tommy changed into a white suit with sequins and a top hat on his head, looking like an entertainment host, and the sequins on his body sparkled under the laser lights around the villa, he took the microphone, walked to the guardrail on the second floor, and said condescendingly to more than 20 Stanford alumni in the lobby on the first floor:

"Good evening, gentlemen, and welcome to tonight's F*ckingParty hosted by Tommy Hawke! Allow me to introduce each other before the party starts, tonight, there are two classes of Stanford Vitality here, and the first thing to introduce is of course SSD! A group of Stanford elites with only belligerent and ** brains! I'm fortunate enough to be one of them, and now I'm holding up my hands to gather us Stanford maggots, the SSD leader Charles ~~~~~~~~~ Samon! ”

Charles turned to meet the cheers of the crowd.

"The other class is a group of old guys, they are all graduate students, and they only have the gang of litigants who play with the constitution and ** in their brains! Stanford Law School's White Shoes Club! It seems that these new friends don't know me well enough to come to my party and get dressed. Tommy teased, then pointed to one of them and introduced:

"That guy with black hair who looks like the illegitimate son of Italian movie star Dana Andrews is the president of the White Shoes Society, my fellow Italian countryman! Matt~~~~~ Brolin! ”

Matt, the president of the Law School's White Shoes Club, gave Tommy his middle finger, then smiled and shook his hand to the crowd, and shook Charles' hand.

"It saddens me that Stanford taught you two the scum of a hypocritical handshake and hello, and I swear that when the party begins, you will definitely forget the word friendship and just want to beat each other!" Tommy held the microphone and looked at the crowd below:

"I'm going to talk about tonight's play, the party is divided into four phases, the first three are two hours long, the first is about the necessity of young men learning popular dance steps, the second is about the principle of masculinity divergence, and the third is about the validation experiment of the aggressive creature of humans."

"What is the fourth stage?" A member of the White Shoes Club waited for a long time, and found that Tommy did not mention the fourth stage, and asked curiously.

Tommy shrugged: "This gentleman told us what happens if we don't pay attention!" I said it in the first sentence, this is Tommy Hawke's F*ckingParty, and the theme of the fourth stage is what else can be besides F******? Mr. Tommy will deduct your party credits, kid, you have to work hard, try to catch up with your grades as soon as possible before the start of the fourth stage, otherwise your grades are too bad, beware of being dissuaded by the party. ”

The crowd burst out laughing when they heard Tommy's explanation.

"Then why is the first stage called On the Necessity of Young Men Learning Pop Steps?" Ted, wearing a cowboy hat, asked unpleasantly, "Talk like a human!" Tommy! ”

"You'll soon understand, Silly Ted!" Tommy snapped his fingers after speaking, the laser light ball in the hall suddenly flashed, and pop disco dance music sounded in the stereo, and a dozen ladies dressed in various ordinary costumes, like girls next door, but with beautiful enough faces, rushed in, using the hall as a dance hall, dancing gently to the music, and from time to time responding to those Stanford students who had not yet come back to their senses an encouraging look, signaling them to come forward and dance with themselves.

It was only then that the fellows understood what Tommy was saying, that if they didn't know how to dance, they wouldn't have had a chance to talk to these girls, and there were only a dozen girls, but the two brothers together had twenty-six or seven, which meant that ten boys couldn't find a dance partner and had to drink alone.

Some of the boys who reacted quickly got off the stage and found their favorite dance partners, and as the music twisted, the villa hall suddenly turned into a dance hall full of twinkling lights and dynamic rhythms.

Tommy threw his hat down the hall below, turned and walked towards the stairs, and in the dimly lit corner next to him, Sophia walked out: "You asked me to introduce Matt to you, but you didn't say you'd have a sorority party, and...... It seems to be that kind of ...... A party that doesn't respect women very much. ”

"Or else? Let Matt and I sit face to face and have a boring conversation like I did to Delia, like an adult? Tommy glanced at Sophia:

"No kidding, Sophia, Matt must not want that kind of meeting, they are young college students, they don't have family troubles, they don't think about the future, they don't care about financial pressure, the only thing they want to do is have some fun after boring studies, alcohol, music, girls, what could be more important than these?"

"But you're not really interested in that, are you? You could have ......," Sophia said in an affirmative tone.

"Not interested? I don't know how much I envy them, how much I want to forget how mature, how smart, how sensible, how much I want to be like these happy boys, carefree, with only the girl in front of me in my eyes, and all I can think of coaxing each other with sweet words so that she can spend the night with me, and the atmosphere fascinates me. Tommy looked with envy at the men and women who were dancing downstairs:

"Their lives haven't been set yet, and I've been destined to be a bastard since I came into this fucking world, and I'm not interested? I envy them to death, and I may be the only one in the world who knows how happy it is to be carefree and be a fool*. ”

Noticing Tommy's inadvertent look of envy, Sophia realized that this guy was even younger than herself.

It's just that I've known Tommy Hawk for so long, and his thoughts and behaviors make Sophia always subconsciously regard Tommy as a mature and cold-blooded middle-aged person, and it wasn't until now that Tommy's envious eyes and tone that couldn't be concealed made Sophia understand that there is actually something like emotion in this guy's body.

"Want to dance?" Sophia hesitated for a few seconds and smiled at Tommy and asked, "I haven't danced at a party in a long time either." ”

Seeing the happy men and women below, Sophia suddenly remembered that since she helped this guy part-time, she had lost a lot of opportunities that should have been used to relax and find fun.

"I don't want to." Tommy decisively rejects Sophia's offer and motions for Sophia to look at the stairs.

Following Tommy's gaze, Sophia saw that Matt, the president of the White Shoes Society, was walking up the stairs accompanied by Charles, apparently to meet Tommy.

"Stand still, Matt!" Tommy suddenly said loudly to the two people who were going upstairs.

The two who were going upstairs were stunned for a moment, and looked at Tommy at the staircase in confusion, Tommy smiled and said, "You're not a, are you?" There are so many girls down there, why do you have to chase my ass if you don't dance! ”

"See? This guy is the bastard of the new generation of SSD. Charles patted Matt on the shoulder and said beside him.

Matthew nodded and smiled at Tommy, "Sophia didn't mention you as funny when she told me about you, Tommy, you'd better pray I'm not, or you'll be miserable." ”

"Don't worry about not being able to grab the girl, I have an arrangement, come on, the three of us go to the quiet terrace on the rooftop, enjoy the moonlight, drink a few glasses of strong, and talk about cooperation by the way." Tommy waited for Matt to walk up and shook his hand vigorously, followed by an Italian hug.

Matt looked at Sophia and then at Tommy: "Arrangement?" Sophia? ”

"No, no, no, don't get me wrong~" Seeing Matt's puzzled gaze, Tommy slowed down his speech and said in an accentuated tone:

"Sophia is not in the arrangement you should consider, although she is not very good in mind and her figure is so-so, but she is my person, and I have other arrangements for you."

"You can always trust Tommy, the bastard, for parties like that, let's go, Matt." Charles led Matt in the direction of the terrace.

Tommy turned to Sophia, who had a strange expression, and said, "I told Eric that he will help me temporarily manage the person tonight, and he won't drink tonight, so if there is any problem on the scene, find him to solve it." ”

"Hey, so-so? My figure is so-so? Sophia said disgruntled as she saw Tommy walking straight towards the terrace.

"No need to thank me for not telling anyone the truth that your chest can take off and land strategic bombers." Tommy didn't stop walking, he didn't even look back, and said in a calm voice:

"If you really want to thank me, like my Florida family, you can donate to the Actor and support my great cause, cash, checks, and even loans."

……

On the terrace of the villa, Tommy sat on a deck chair and shook his wine glass: "Sophia should tell you that my company has encountered some minor troubles. ”

"She said that Delia Case, a partner at Davis Polk's firm, is an elite lawyer at a long-established whiteshoe firm and a professional icon in the eyes of us law students." Matt took a sip of wine and looked at Tommy, "But Sophia didn't say anything specific about your trouble?" ”

Tommy looked at Charles, who smiled, lowered his voice and whispered a few words in Matt's ear, and then gave the other party an affirmative look.

Matt subconsciously sat up straight and looked at Tommy with an inquiring gaze, Tommy shrugged his shoulders: "That's what Charles said." ”

"After hearing the news, I think it's up to us old guys to pay for it tonight." Matt laughed at Tommy:

"I'll tell you what's next, the alumni directory of the Stanford Chapter of the White Shoe Society, the list of visiting professors at Stanford Law School with practicing qualifications, and they will appear in your company on time tomorrow evening, a girl of Sophia's level, you can be kind and let her go home, because along with the list, there are two male elites of the White Shoe Club, and they will start to be your assistants tomorrow, and you can do whatever you tell them to do, but the main job is to help you choose those suitable candidates, when you are in doubt, Be the first to give you detailed information about those people. ”

Tommy raised his glass and touched it with Matt: "I like the Stanford family more than Delia, this attitude warms my heart, but Sophia I won't let go of it, I like to have a law girl next to me to give me a sense of security, and besides, I'm curious about the cost." ”

"If I find out that the lawyer you picked out from the list doesn't want to be free, the White Shoes Society can use the fraternity funds to help you convince them." Matt drank the tequila from the cup, put a slice of lemon into his mouth to digest the strong aroma, and said to Tommy.

Tommy nodded affirmatively with a cigarette in his mouth: "I just said that I was touched by your warm words, Matt, you have to be more generous, like a big man in law school, not a childish woman, like Delia Case, she is a bad example." ”

"Do you want us to pay you the money and help you with this lawsuit?" Matt frowned slightly:

"It's better to think differently, if that's the case, your behavior can no longer be called greed, but chronic suicide, Tommy."

Charles roasted his cigar over the fire and said, "Don't get excited, Matt, Tommy is not stupid. ”

"That's right, I'm a bastard, but I wouldn't do that to my brothers at Stanford." Tommy put down his glass, toasted his cigar with Charles, and said to Matt:

"I mean, you're going to show kindness to the world, for example, there are dozens of small studios that have been shut down by Lotus, and I think you should find a way to reach out and reach out to some less well-known free lawyers who are also willing to get involved to help them remember the details of their grievances with Lotus, and find any clues that can be unearthed that can make Lotus anxious."

"Of course~" took a cigar handed over by Charles, Matt put it in his mouth, and said as a matter of course: "The alumni of our White Shoes Club are purer than the ingredients of your SSD, all alumni are either a lawyer who challenges the darkness of justice, or a judge who upholds judicial fairness, or is on the way to become both, in short, they are all good people who are full of justice and do not hesitate to release goodwill to the world." ”

"I like smart people, especially smart men." Tommy said to Matt, "It saves a lot of time. ”

"It's not a problem, Tommy, maybe we're divided into a lot of fraternities, various organizations, but in the eyes of outsiders, the Stanford people are a family, and when we look at outsiders, we shouldn't carefully explain that you are the White Robe Society, I am the White Shoe Society, and the difference between us." Matt let out a puff of pale blue smoke:

"Instead, we should tell the whole of America that even if God comes to Boston, it can't stop the Stanford alumni from uniting and helping our dear junior Tommy defeat Lotus, which is the end of sending a lawyer's letter to the Stanforders."

"You just said that tonight's consumer white shoe club will pay for it, right? I can send you the bill for tonight's consumption. Tommy said suddenly.

Matt cursed and said to Tommy, "You really know when to say the worst thing, Tommy." ”

"yes, Tommy is very good at this kind of thing." Charles said with a smile next to him.

"I just think that what you said just now is too sensational, and you are preparing a lawsuit, I am afraid that after you say that sentence, you will start brainwashing me, and let me take the initiative to pay as soon as I am excited." Tommy said to Matt, "Because I do that to Sophia a lot. ”

"I'm sorry that there are girls like Sophia in law school." Matt exhaled and said depressedly.

Tommy got up from the recliner: "All the business is easily talked about like this, what else can you do this night, of course, enjoy the party, so the two of you, are you ready to be hoarse and even fight tonight?" ”

"I don't believe it." Matt said with a smile, "Law students will remain rational even if they are drunk. ”

Charles looked at Tommy: "Teach these self-proclaimed sane law school bastards a lesson, Tommy, let them see the party level of SSD, if you mess up, I guarantee that the 20,000 living alumni of SSD will never see any news from you." ”

"If I were you, Matt, I'd run away quietly by myself now, so as not to be embarrassed." Tommy gulped down the wine: "You don't know anything about parties. ”

Yesterday's second was blocked, and some of them were modified, and then the current situation is, I really want to write some fun and relax, practice my hands, but I'm afraid of being blocked, in fact, there are still 2,000 words, that is, I finished the normal two chapters of 6,000 words, but I decided to send 4,000 words first, save the 2,000 words that I think may have some problems, and wait for me to finish the whole party in one breath tomorrow, ask the editor to see if there will be any problems, and then release it......
