Chapter 405, a little contradiction inside
Obviously, Brooklyn doesn't intend to be eaten by brain-eating bugs, let alone become anyone's puppet.
If the speculation comes true, Burke Forsman is looking for a new 'host'. Brooklyn wasn't going to be Burke Forsman's new toy.
"Do you know why Lenie Crewe and I walked with John Manning?" Burke Forsman asked.
Brooklyn shook her head and responded cooperatively
"I don't know, why?"
"Because we have the same goal." Burke Forsman Dao. Brooklyn stared at the walls on either side of the hallway.
Nelly suggested putting wallpaper on the renovated walls, saying it would be more aesthetically pleasing. Brooklyn agrees with the idea of beauty, but it's also more expensive...... Shaking his head to shake the inexplicable thoughts out of his head, Brooklyn replied
"What is it?" If someone asks Brooklyn bluntly, 'Hey, Brooklyn, what's your ideal,' if it's just an interview or a show, Brooklyn can handle it, but if it's a casual conversation, especially if it's someone who knows him well, Brooklyn can't handle it.
He would be ashamed to talk about the word ideal. But Burke apparently did not have this difficulty.
"Let Harvard be glorious again." Burke looked calm, even a little excited
"Brooklyn, I told you about what it takes to be a good leader. You can't be ashamed to talk about your ideals. Ideals are the easiest way to gather like-minded followers. β
"They don't need any real effort to be loyal to you, and they're the ones who want the most."
"So, this is your 'great ideal'?" Brooklyn asked.
"Yes."
"With this great ideal, you have the support of the majority?" Brooklyn continued to ask.
This time Burke's answer was much longer.
"You're getting one thing wrong, Brooklyn."
"Harvardians have always been the best. Harvardians will always be the most loyal to Harvard. β
"John once glorified Harvard, and his contributions to Harvard are indelible, and everyone at Harvard respects him and will always remember his contributions to Harvard."
"But when John couldn't make sure that Harvard was on the right track, when Harvard was on the right track, when Harvard was on a downward spiral under John, even though he had brought Harvard glory again, the people of Harvard understood that Harvard needed another John Manning, not the same one."
"Harvardians still respect John, and this choice has nothing to do with loyalty, nothing to do with betrayal."
"Brooklyn, that's the noble ideal." After a moment's pause, Burke continued
"Brooklyn, I hope you can lead Harvard back to glory, just as we did decades ago."
"The future belongs to you young people, and I am already old. I'm old, Brooklyn. John and I are of the same era. Burke's words reveal to Brooklyn why so many people no longer supported John Manning in the first round of voting.
However, whether this explanation is true or false, and whether it should be believed or not, depends on Brooklyn's own choice.
"I'll go back and look at the work, and the contact information will be sent to you with the email." Burke was disappointed that he didn't get an answer.
"Okay."
"You can call me if you have something in the future."
"Hmm." After a brief silence on the phone, the two hung up silently. Back in the office, Brooklyn carefully checked his email.
The email was very informative and detailed, and it was clear that this was not in Brooklyn.
It first gives a general introduction to the activities of Harvard each year, and then summarizes the activities that the council should be responsible for.
The following is a detailed list of the various aspects of the work that the council is responsible for, and distinguishes them by different colors.
The yellow ones are for Burke Forsman, the blue ones are for Brooklyn, and the crossovers and some major decisions are marked in red, which are reserved for Anthony Kennedy.
After the introduction of the work content, a list of all members of Harvard, their identities, and their responsibilities are attached.
The email was long and contented, and Brooklyn had only seen half of it, and it was already lunch time, and in the face of Bob's repeated calls, he had to turn off his computer first and go to lunch.
For lunch, I still choose the Mexican restaurant next door. New York hasn't been quiet lately, but business in Mexican restaurants is still booming and doesn't seem to be affected at all.
But this seems understandable given the Mexican restaurant's horrific fan count and fan status.
At least half of the legal practitioners in New York are fans of this restaurant! Maybe they're just getting used to it, or maybe they don't even know the owner of a Mexican restaurant, let alone have any friendship.
But if the Mexican restaurant is really smashed or robbed, they will be very disappointed, and the person who happens to rob or smash the restaurant will fall into their hands...... Still sitting in the corner by the window, the waiter came over with the menu and ordered.
"Hi, Judge Brooklyn." Since they often came, the waiter already knew each other, and greeted them one by one skillfully, and took out a small notebook from his chest and asked
"Still the same?" Brooklyn nodded. Ray, Nelly, Bob, Jerry nodded. Little Joseph hesitated, shook his head, and said
"I'd like to try something else. Yesterday's pie almost threw me up. β
"Okay, then...... Or am I going to recommend? The waiter asked. After Joseph Jr. nodded, the waiter quickly jotted down the recommended dishes in his notebook, and then looked at the last one.
Everyone else at the table looked at Peter Adams. Little Joseph quietly nudged him with his elbow.
"Hey, buddy!"
"Don't touch me!" Peter stood up abruptly and shouted impatiently at Joseph Jr. Immediately reacted, it was in the restaurant.
The waiter was stunned. Little Joseph was also stunned. The rest of Court 9 was not too surprised.
The movement here has already attracted the attention of several tables around it.
"Hey, man, I'm just asking what you're going to eat." Little Joseph stretched out his hands and made a downward gesture and said with an embarrassed smile.
He wanted to defuse the awkward atmosphere that was right now. Brooklyn sat across from Peter and Joseph, silently breaking the pre-dinner bread into crumbs and putting it in his mouth to chew on β though the oddity of having pre-dinner bread in Mexican restaurants was there.
I don't even have a look. Ray glanced at Peter, and then stopped. Nelly looked at little Joseph with a cold face and distress.
Jerry looked at Peter with a complicated look in his eyes. Bob...... Bob was busy exchanging feelings with his brother at the next table.
"You don't need to be pretending! It's disgusting! The unlucky ghost of the Kennedys! Peter blushed and exclaimed.
Little Joseph froze in embarrassment, caught between a dilemma. Jerry patted him on the back and got up to change positions with him.
"Why do you always help this unlucky Kennedy ghost!" Jerry's behavior infuriates Peter, who points at little Joseph and asks loudly
"You don't know the ...... of the Kennedys"
"Sit down." Brooklyn stopped crushing the pre-dinner bread and said indifferently. Peter paused, looking at Brooklyn's poker face, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.
"The unlucky devil of the Kennedy family! Be careful to kill you! He cried out loudly, pointing at little Joseph, and said viciously.
Bob suddenly stood up and came to Peter.
"Brooklyn told you to sit down, man." As he spoke, he pressed his hands on Peter's shoulders and pressed down hard.
"You ......" Peter blushed and turned his head to glare at Bob before being forced to sit down.
"Don't be so angry, man." With that, Bob pushed Jerry away and put his arms around Peter, holding him between his arms
"For the sake of you helping me choose Lego, I'll teach you a lesson today."
"In the workplace, never disobey your boss." As he spoke, he lifted his other hand and looked around
"Especially in this kind of public place, don't embarrass your boss."
"Do you know why?" Bob leaned in to Peter, grabbed his arm and began to push hard.
"Because your boss can torture you in ten thousand ways, and you can't do anything about it." With that, he let go of Peter and patted him the back
"Now, go and apologize to your boss and ask for his forgiveness." Peter looked up and looked at Brooklyn with an emotionless pair of eyes.
"Why did you replace me?" He regained his courage and asked.
"What am I inferior to that poor ghost?" Brooklyn raised an eyebrow. Is this talking about the three intern slots in the moot court?
Brooklyn recalled, vaguely remembering that he seemed to cross him out.
"Because she's better than you."
"At least she won't go crazy like you do, regardless of the occasion." Peter had something to say, but Brooklyn was not interested in continuing to listen.
He raised his hand to stop Peter from continuing, and spoke
"Before complaining about other people's injustice, look at yourself."
"Don't always look at what others have gained, and see how much others have paid for what they have gained."
"Now, sit down and eat, or go back to Boston." β¦β¦β¦β¦ The episode of lunch was obviously not a left-hand meal, and it was even a little spoiled.
But the good thing is that Peter is still a student who hasn't left school. After lunch, back in the office, Brooklyn continued to check the mail.
Through the email, it is clear that the Harvard School has been completely bound to Harvard Law School.
The daily work of the Harvard School even includes teaching! Not only that, but also organizing student activities, providing support to students, looking for scholars to hold open classes, etc., all belong to the daily work of the Harvard school.
Fortunately, most of these jobs were taken over by Burke on his own initiative. Brooklyn was more about organizing the activities and 'diplomacy' of the Harvard faction.
Burke is roughly divided according to the inside and outside, in short, Burke is in charge of the main and Brooklyn is in charge of the outside of the main house.
This seems fair and reasonable. But in fact, during the time of John Manning, Burke was the one in charge of the outside world.
But if Burke Forsman continues to be out of the mains and Brooklyn is in charge of the indoors, even those teaching and other things, Brooklyn people in New York will not be able to respond to what is happening in Boston in a timely manner.
It looks like Brooklyn can only be assigned off-home work. Brooklyn thought for a moment and sent Burke an email.
The content of the email is mainly to admit that I don't have much experience, and I am responsible for so much work at the beginning, which is likely to cause some omissions and confusion.
It's better to start with a part of the work, and then slowly increase it when you get used to it. After the email, Brooklyn enclosed the job he had chosen, as well as Bob's contact information.
After sending the email, Brooklyn called Bob over. Bob's status has now risen with Brooklyn, and he can be said to be the number one person in the whole of New York.
Don't look at Bob's most of the time as a naΓ―ve, unresponsive fool, but he's not stupid at all.
Anyone who understands the situation in New York will nod politely when they see Bob, and be the first to show kindness. Bob was a small bailiff with no family background and no one behind him, but he was a friend of Brooklyn's.
Brooklyn treats Bob as a friend. Even if this relationship is not discussed, at work, Bob is an assistant in Brooklyn and is one of the people who knows Brooklyn best.
Such a person, generally no one wants to offend him. Bob never took on the name of Brooklyn, and he always behaved honestly, even less boldly and intelligently than when he first met Brooklyn.
Only on rare occasions does Bob have a flash of inspiration and make an amazingly brilliant choice by mistake.
For example, the words in the restaurant at noon...... Brooklyn told Bob about Harvard, and before he could finish speaking, he was greeted by Bob who shouted "ohmygod" in a series of mouths.
Bob looked excited. , kept patting Brooklyn's back and shoulders, making him roll his eyes.
When Bob finally calmed down, Brooklyn had a chance to continue. He has given Bob's contact information to Burke, and Bob will need to contact Burke's assistant for the handover work in the future.
Harvard Jobs, e.. Y's work will be mixed up in the future, and Bob will arrange the time uniformly.
Simple e.. Y's job is troublesome enough, plus Harvard's job...... Brooklyn didn't know if he had that much time to get work done.
Maybe you won't need to sleep at night from now on? He didn't know. We can only wait for it to really work and see Bob's schedule.
After saying this, Brooklyn's expression turned solemn. He said earnestly
"At the time of handover, you have to figure out the essence of the work. We can't work for nothing, and we can't say what others say, you know? Bob patted his chest and smiled innocently
"Of course!" Brooklyn nodded. Bob looked silly, but whenever he gave up his work, Bob never missed.
His work schedule is always in order, and all the work is properly organized. Even if he changes temporarily, he will adjust back in the shortest possible time.
Bob just looks silly because he is obese, so he is also happy to give people the impression of being silly and deceitful.
But in reality, Bob has always been the Bob who dared to stop the judge from negotiating terms.
