Chapter 538, August
It's hard to say no in Brooklyn.
Mark Milai showed great generosity, not caring about his behavior of taking advantage of the fire. If you refuse now, it is unreasonable.
With these two fetuses as a bond, the relationship between the two can go further. There is no need to oppose the matter of cooperation and mutual benefit.
"Michael."
Brooklyn said
"I need Michael."
Mark Milai nodded, not refusing.
"No problem."
"I've got a couple of nice guys here who just got back from the Middle East and want to go to Harvard."
"The military can't give them much, and the federal government can't even guarantee their lives after they retire. As their commander, I think it's my responsibility to solve this problem for them."
Brooklyn agreed.
The appearance of two fetuses provides a further opportunity for the two to work together.
The two also seized the opportunity - although there were some twists and turns in the process, and one of them even tried to take advantage of the opportunity to open his mouth, but the result was good.
Brooklyn and Mark Meaille have become more intimate, and they have opened up their resources to each other almost completely.
Now the only problem is Annie.
Mark Meeilla offered to talk to Anne and convince Anne to keep the fetus.
Faced with such an offer, Brooklyn had no reason to refuse.
He found out that Mark Mill had changed a lot since the wedding. It's even a little bit of a loss with "kindness".
In this conversation, Mark Millaine showed much more atmosphere than Brooklyn, fully embodying the "elder demeanor".
He didn't care about Brooklyn's previous offense, chose a more beneficial way, and selectively forgot about the unpleasant experience at the wedding.
Is there something else going on, or does the appearance of the youngest son really change Mark Milai?
Brooklyn walked behind Mark Millay, looking at the back in front of him and thinking.
Mark Milai seemed to notice the same, and smiled back at Brooklyn.
…………
Brooklyn didn't know what Mark Meaille had said to Anne, and that night, Anne's expression was not very good, but she agreed to keep the fetus.
However, with a little analysis, you can also guess that eight or nine are not far from ten.
Anne is not a girl with a love brain, she has a clear understanding of the world.
She knew that there were many factors involved in her marriage to Brooklyn.
Thinking down this logic, all Mark Meille can tell her is the resources in her hands and the damage to the relationship between the two parties by defeating the child.
Brooklyn didn't ask any questions about it, and life returned to normal.
The problem with the new house was eventually solved by Bob.
Originally, Brooklyn wanted Webster to look for a moving company, but the moving company was not found, and he and Anne went to see the house a few days ago, and the two were dissatisfied with the original decoration.
After a few days of tossing, Bob first helped Brooklyn find a renovation company to renovate the new home, which is expected to be completed by the end of August.
The renovation company is a subsidiary of a large New York construction company, the price is affordable, the quality is good, so the large area of the house, it only takes less than $20,000 to fit in their ideal condition in Brooklyn.
The construction company also owns a small furniture factory that specializes in high-end customization.
New house furniture in Brooklyn can be customized from this furniture factory.
Anne and Brooklyn spent the afternoon describing the furniture requirements to the designer, and the next day they got the prototypes, made some minor modifications, and began to make them.
You don't have to worry about the house anymore, you just need to wait for the renovation to be completed.
During this time, Brooklyn was still living on the side that he bought with Ray.
Ray hadn't been back for a long time, and after Anne agreed to keep the fetus, Brooklyn had called friends, Frank, Pol, and others congratulated him, and David even more so
Late he came back directly, hugged Brooklyn and got drunk, dragged Brooklyn and didn't let go, crying and laughing, yelling.
Ray still hasn't returned. He called Brooklyn that night, feeling guilty that he couldn't go back to New York at such a time to share with Brooklyn and David.
[In view of the general environment,
Brooklyn didn't say much, and didn't bother to ask where Ray was or what he was doing, just to comfort him and come back when he was born.
Ray tried to avoid too much contact with them in Brooklyn, for fear of implicating them if he failed.
When the house over there is renovated and they move in, Brooklyn may only have a tacit understanding that has been cultivated over a long period of time.
Brooklyn was sure that Ray wouldn't even give him a phone when the time came.
Their only connection is their previous experience, and the city of New York, which is under the control of Brooklyn and others, will loosen its grip on Ray and his organization, discourage, not criticize, not report, not talk, pretend not to see, pretend that there is no such group in New York.
…………
Before you know it, it's late August.
August 21.
The New York affair has finally come to an end.
The people of New York didn't know what was happening, but they could feel it, and the whole of New York suddenly relaxed, as if the dark clouds overhead had suddenly dissipated.
Brooklyn held a small celebratory dinner at the Manhattan Hotel with Winston, Frank, Mark Millais, and two representatives of the military, Harvard representatives led by Lopez and Burke.
Not many people came, mainly to celebrate the victory internally.
Because they were all acquaintances, everyone was more relaxed, and they didn't talk about anything big, and the eating and drinking passed like this.
The next morning, Brooklyn had a brief meeting with Winston and Frank to decide on the cake.
At noon, Brooklyn took Harrison and Webster on a plane to Boston, while Bob stayed behind to represent Brooklyn in the distribution.
In addition, Burke and López have also been retained in New York, where they will represent Harvard in the New York assignment.
Brooklyn didn't want to leave New York, but Harvard really needed him. The full version of the press law proposal is about to be released, and it has attracted a lot of attention, and at this juncture, Brooklyn must go to Boston.
In the afternoon, I arrived in Boston, got a car to the campus, and met with Anthony in Brooklyn.
"How's it going?"
After shaking hands politely with Anthony, Brooklyn asked straight to the point.
Anthony took out a large tome from the back of his palm and handed it to Brooklyn.
"Yale didn't look for any more trouble. But we're a little bit of a stretch right now."
Seeing Brooklyn flip through the tome, Anthony also began to report to work.
"The research team has produced results, and the people you were attracted to contain the events in New York want to get in and get a piece of the action. There are also many members of the National Assembly who are concerned about this matter. We're almost overwhelmed."
"The garbage bin is going to be full."
I don't know if it's a delusion, but Brooklyn always felt that Anthony was a little gloating when he said this again.
Brooklyn closed the tome and placed it on the table, thinking for a moment and thinking, "Didn't you already press it down before?" When did it start again?"
The press law proposal is at least a million words, one ring after another, and it is impossible to read it in a short period of time, and it is useless to read two pages hastily, so it is better to care about the "right thing".
"Last weekend." Anthony said, "It probably started when it was completely over in New York."
"Do you think it has anything to do with Heather Gerken?" Brooklyn asked.
Anthony shook his head, "If Heather Gerken was the devil, he should have chosen New York before it ended, not now. Now we can free ourselves from the events in New York and concentrate on it, which is not quite like him
style."
Brooklyn nodded.
He didn't feel like it either.
However, before he asked Anthony to deal with Heather Gerken in Boston, he thought that Heather Gerken would continue to make moves, but who knew that only the last time was over. Heather Gerken remained silent for the rest of this time.
"So, isn't Heather Gerken agitating?"
Anthony thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "I'm not sure."
Brooklyn stood up, patted Anthony on the shoulder, and said in relief, "Good job. Now let's go meet the heroes."
Anthony's overall performance is not bad, and he does not feel sorry for himself because of Brooklyn's persecution, or make small moves, on the contrary, after the last beating, Anthony performed conscientiously, even if Burke came, he couldn't find anything wrong.
Anthony like this makes Brooklyn a little difficult to start.
Anthony got up and led Brooklyn out of the office building toward the familiar little auditorium.
The small auditorium has been completely transformed into a conference room, and the previously dense number of tables and chairs has been removed, and only a few conference tables have been placed in the center, on which are messily placed fruit plates and papers.
Around the conference table was a circle of chairs, and beyond that were large printers scattered around.
When Brooklyn came in, the printer was spitting out paper, and the people inside were gathering in groups to gossip.
When Brooklyn designed the "garbage dump" program, the goal was to sweep away the opposition at Harvard.
At first, it went well, and the aroma of the bait of the press law proposal successfully fished out a large number of oppositionists, and last time some "senior legislators" were restless, and they were disposed of by Brooklyn.
Since then, the "garbage station" has never received a large amount of "garbage". In the last week, there was no increase in anyone.
It's not that the opposition has been swept away, it's that Brooklyn's prestige within the Harvard Parliament is growing day by day, and the remaining opposition is no longer afraid to show its head.
Burke is still censoring state by state, but censorship alone can at best pull out some moths, and it is impossible to distinguish which ones are opposition.
Until now, the research team has been unable to catch any "fish".
Brooklyn's arrival was quickly noticed by the research team, and the "experts" put down their things, stopped talking, and stood up.
Brooklyn walked over to the conference table, looked around, brewed emotions, and said with emotion
"Good work, everyone!"
Brooklyn looked around and made a speech, affirming and acknowledging the work of the research group and drawing a big pie for the "experts".
No words are as motivating as the last promise.
The atmosphere in the small hall reached its peak when Brooklyn praised the work of the panel and promised to count each person's contribution and later provide resources based on the contributions of the council.
The experts clapped excitedly and applauded loudly.
Cuomo, scalpers and others are impressively listed.
After giving the men a shot of chicken blood, Brooklyn left the auditorium satisfied.
If it weren't for the purpose of calming the emotions of the "research team" and making them better take the blame, this auditorium Brooklyn would not have bothered to stay for even a second.
Leaving the auditorium, Brooklyn did not rest, but met with several delegates under the leadership of Anthony.
They came to Brooklyn on behalf of a majority outside Harvard, and the main elements of the negotiations were the panel and the press law proposal.
The official version of the press law proposal has been compiled, and with the current popularity of the bill, it will definitely pass, at least in the early stage.
Members of Congress want to gain seniority through this proposal, and further, the parties also want to share some credit and increase the party's voice in Congress.
The federal constitution does not prohibit political parties, and the federal government is nominally multi-party and anyone can join or even form any party. And the federal constitution stipulates that citizens are published
When it comes to political opinions, you should not be convicted for your words.
Translated, even if a political party's platform is to support the secession of states and the arrival of aliens on Earth to rule over mankind, members of that party cannot be investigated for any crime, let alone arrested, as long as the members of that party claim to be expressing political opinions.
In other words, when expressing political opinions, one can say anything excessive, at least nominally, the federal government has no right to arrest or investigate the person.
But in fact, the main power of the federation has always been concentrated in the hands of the donkey elephant and the two parties, and the federation has essentially always maintained the two-party rule of the donkey and elephant.
Members of Congress are not all members of both parties, there are many other parties.
Because of their small party influence, these minority party members occupy far less seats than the donkey and elephant parties, and their influence in the Congress is pitiful, and the low influence will reduce the attractiveness of the party, and will make the party talent wither, and the lack of enough talent to occupy the seat will reduce the influence of their own party......
It's a vicious circle.
The activities of the two parties are very few, 99 percent of them are election campaigns, but there are many activities of other parties, and the smaller the parties, the more varied they are, the purpose of which is to gain attention and expand their influence.
The minority party in Congress is already going crazy for the sake of influence.
At present, the proposal for the press law is like a peerless beauty to them, a unique taste of the world, and just a glance at it is enough to make the eyes of countless minority parties red.
Therefore, the one who came to Brooklyn for negotiations was also the most violent, that is, the minority party.
Such a good opportunity to expand its influence, I don't know it, now that I already know, how can they let Harvard eat alone?
With the exception of a minority party, the two parties of the donkey elephant have had a mediocre response to the proposal.
They also took note of the proposal, but the two parties were overwhelmingly dominant, and they didn't know how many influential proposals they saw each year. Even the existing legal structure of the federation, the social system, all the proposals are funded by them.
They don't need to take action on a press law proposal, and when they wait for a public debate, or answer questions, and the parliament votes, Harvard itself will take the initiative to find them.
It has always been that way.
Because whether it passes or not, they have the final say.
