Chapter 45: Stand Up for Justice
Tommy rested his head comfortably on the legs of his lawyer, a visiting professor at Stanford Law School, a partner at Davis Polk & Associates, and a veteran concubine, Delia Case.
"So, Otilia just left, you can't wait for me to come over and give you some maternal care, is it because you have become physically stronger because of your fitness?" Delia, dressed in a lady's suit, gently grabbed Tommy's hair with her hand and asked with a smile, "Speaking of which, I've always wondered if you prefer to spend time with women who are a little older than you because of your mother's departure?" Otileia, Sophia, Susan...... It seems like all the girls around you are older than you. ”
"Maybe, after all, what is missing in the heart will be what you want to gain." Tommy's palm lifted up and gently rubbed Delia's face: "So, what is missing in your heart, what is longing?" ”
Delia threw away the palm that caused her face to itch: "If you had taken out half of the resources that had supported Hillary Clinton in the past two years, I would have become a senior partner of Davis Polk & Associates by now." ”
"That woman tried to convince Otilia to convince me to arrange for her to replace you as the head of the EFF at least four times, but I refused without any hesitation, and then you now suspect that I support her more than you? Remember, I said that we are family and she is not. ”
Hearing Tommy's words, Delia laughed, she remembered that she took the initiative to return the honorarium paid by this guy that day, and was sold by him to Stanford and forced to become a Stanford family, now think about it, the Hillary couple have naturally enjoyed Tommy's contribution for so long, if one day he has to settle the account......
Tommy has never been a generous person, this guy always remembers the words of his life mentor Benjamin Benson, every piece of gold is marked with a price, but the price tag is hidden and will only be revealed when the owner of the gold needs it.
No one can guess what's going on in this guy's head, no one knows when this guy will show the gold price tag, even if Delia thinks she is very familiar with Tommy, and Tommy laughs at the family.
The only people who might know what he thinks are Jim Manz and Benjamin Benson, and Delia knows that those two are the people Tommy really trusts and relies on.
"But why am I ready to hand over my EFF job?" Delia then asked.
"Benjamin and Jason, they are full of praise for your work at EFF for so long, and they say that they are trying to create all kinds of opportunities for you, but because those big companies have their own families, they can't help you find enough opportunities for you to be promoted to senior partner of your firm." Tommy enjoyed Delia's scalp massage for a while before sitting up from the couch and picking up a cherry from the fruit bowl on the coffee table and putting it in his mouth:
"So I don't think you can always help Jason and Benjamin for their hard work and not get a reasonable reward because of their laziness or passivity, and besides, you have to go back to your family and come back to me."
Delia sat on top of her stockings, adjusted her sitting posture, moved her leg muscles and said: "The Lotus case has made me a legal expert in computer industry-related laws, if I leave EFF and leave the field I am familiar with, Tommy, I may not be that important to you, of course, I am not rejecting you, I just made it clear in advance." ”
Delia is now able to thrive in the California computer industry, and even moved her private office from Washington to Silicon Valley, mainly because she was deeply involved in the precedents of Actor and Lotus and the subsequent related bills.
"I know that when people leave the comfort of their environment, they will always panic subconsciously." Tommy swallowed the cherry and picked up another grape:
"In fact, Benjamin helped VOX find a group of new people from New York, the preliminary preparation period has ended, and the follow-up of VOX is some operation management, fly camp dog work, Wolf, who focuses on the quality of the program, lacks the vision and skill of a large company manager, he can't do these jobs, so VOX will usher in a personnel adjustment, originally Jim and Benjamin both wanted you to enter the board of directors of VOX as a director, but I thought about it for a long time and rejected their suggestions, do you want to hear their suggestions for your future development?"
"Benjamin and Jim have their own legal counsel, and we rarely talk about non-work-related topics." Delia said.
Tommy peeled the skin of the grape slowly: "They want you to join VOX, as VOX continues to grow, you will naturally become a senior partner, and then rely on VOX's high exposure to help you attract those politicians to reach cooperation, slowly look for opportunities, it is best to help you seek a position related to the legislation of the computer and network industry in a certain government, and after you take office, you can just use your energy to feed back and escort those companies we have in the computer industry in the Internet era, at that time, You're a newcomer to the Revolving Door Club network in America. ”
Delia subconsciously opened her mouth slightly, but listening to Tommy's understatement, she felt that Jim and Benjamin's proposal was too tempting for people to have no reason to refuse.
Isn't the ultimate goal of every American lawyer who wants to impact the senior partner of a well-known firm be to impact that revolving door?
If you advance, you will be above 10,000 people, and if you retreat, you will be rich and rival the country.
Tommy took the opportunity to put the peeled grapes into Delia's slightly open mouth, and gently applied the juice from his fingers to the other party's rosy lips:
"Benjamin and Jim's proposal is certainly good, it comes naturally, but I don't think so, it's too explicit to be suitable for a woman with a sense of justice like you, I want you to continue to go back to the office and devote yourself to your own work."
"Are you going to arrange for another person? Earl Rush? That black lawyer? Hearing Tommy's rejection of Jim and Benjamin's offer, Delia's pupils contracted slightly as she had just licked the liquid off her lips, and her voice was a little dissatisfied.
The two of them simply planned a perfect development route for her, but this guy actually refused? Not only to pull her out of the EFF, but also to let her continue to return to the firm to devote herself to high-intensity litigation work?
"Of course not, Earl is not my family, he is black, and his role is to wait for the most glorious moment of his life and then quickly annihilate." Tommy's fingers slowly moved down from Delia's lips and slid across her smooth chin:
"You're different, and I want everyone to see your sense of justice."
Delia sighed: "Let's be straight, Tommy, did you find some opponent's weakness, let me find a chance to bite it, and I will help you solve the other party, so that you are willing to agree to Benjamin and Jim's suggestion." ”
"Susan needs the help of a lawyer with a sense of justice, there are a few actresses who have signed under her umbrella and have worked for Twentieth Century Fox Films, and have encountered the ** of Fox executives, you know, Susan is a girl who climbed out of the bottom, and she empathizes with those girls, so she decided to bear all the legal costs of those girls, and she has to fight Fox Movies to the end, and she once said to me very seriously, her agency and Fox Films, in Hollywood, two can only live one." Tommy said to Delia righteously:
And I, as an American man, learned the news, of course, I couldn't sit idly by, so I chose to stand on the side of justice! After all, I can't watch an old Australian guy's film company unscrupulously spoil our American sweethearts like cheap prostitutes! I have to pay 700,000 yuan for sleeping with a female star, how can they not use it...... Forget it, the topic is a little far away, back to the point. ”
Speaking of Fox, Tommy's face was full of anger, and he couldn't help but say what happened even more angrily, why did the executives of Fox Film Company sleep on female stars and spend 700,000 yuan like a wronged boss?
After adjusting his mood, Tommy continued: "Back to the problem of Fox, not only the film company, FOX TV has a lot of fake news reports, in this regard, I can ask Earl to provide you with a lot of victim information, he has been silently collecting relevant information, in short, Murdoch, is simply a cancer of crime entrenched in the United States, we can't watch him ruin the great image of America, we must drive him out of the United States, this is what every American who has justice in his heart and loves this country should do." ”
When Delia heard Tommy's mouth full of words for justice and for the United States, she knew that this guy was going to do dirty things again, and she made a gesture with her hand to hold her forehead:
"In the name of justice again? Can't you just change the trick? ”
"The U.S. government told me not to change if the trick works, and it has always done this, so why should I, as its citizen, change the trick?" Tommy patted Delia on the shoulder with a serious expression:
"And I can swear to God in front of everyone that I'm really for America, for justice, and definitely not because I'm eyeing Fox's assets."
"That's what you said the last time you dealt with Lotus." Delia looked at Tommy speechlessly, and finally lowered her head and spoke helplessly.
Tommy took out a coin: "After we talk about business, guess whether you move or I move, I hope it's you, after all, I just separated from Otilia for two hours, I hope you give me some tolerance and understanding." ”
"For the sake of me, I'm going to fight for justice again, if you dare to let me take the initiative, I'll break your club." Delia said angrily.
Tommy put away the coin stupidly: "Okay, don't flip the coin this time, you win, I'm willing to stand up for justice." ”
"You bastard, Tommy." Delia scolded with a smile, "So, when will your righteous actions begin?" By the way, to put it mildly, I don't think just splashing dirty water is enough to bring down FOX. ”
"Of course, I know that justice alone is not enough to defeat evil, so we need to unite all the Americans who have justice in their hearts, so when it starts, it depends on how fast Wolf prepares, but don't worry, Wolf is very familiar with this kind of thing, he already has very, very rich experience in the preparation of TV networks, and when I finish moving on you, I will call him and ask him to contact the manpower arranged by Benjamin Benjamin Benson to carry out the work handover and devote himself to the new preparations." Tommy reached out and unbuttoned Delia's blazer, and said slowly:
"I swear to God even in Wolfe's absence, and I assure you that this preliminary work will be the last of my poor black friend, who has all the good qualities of his ancestors."
