Chapter 549, You Asked Me to Say ......
After deciding to let Winston help him meet Mr. President, Brooklyn instead persuaded Winston to come to him.
Although he does have the right to choose, he chooses to cooperate with Mr. President to maximize the benefits or to follow the original plan step by step. But in fact, there is not much room for choice.
He is now the de facto leader of the Harvard School, and thousands of people throughout the Harvard School are watching him.
Thousands of people were waiting to be fed, waiting for him to lead the Harvard faction to bring back "food".
If he doesn't bring back much "food", the waiters may divide it up and re-elect someone who can bring back more "food".
Even López couldn't help him with that.
As the Harvard Speaker, his power essentially comes from how much benefit he can bring to everyone.
Therefore, if you can bring back more "food" with a small amount of money, so that you can have a full meal for the hungry people, Brooklyn will definitely choose to give it a try.
He is now in the ascendant of prestige, and he can afford to lose once.
But Winston is different.
According to Winston, Mr. President is not even a unified voice within the party.
Winston has never been involved in such disputes, remaining neutral, developing honestly, not borrowing too much from the party's resources, and not getting too involved in the factional struggles within the party, which is the foundation of his thriving to the present.
Now he can't stay neutral.
The collaborator is also a potential psychopath.
It was a terrible situation for Winston.
Brooklyn has the capital of trial and error and even failure, and can afford to fail once, Winston can't afford it.
One failure can devastate him.
Winston didn't think much about Brooklyn's persuasion and directly refused.
"Even if you're not looking for me, I've been thinking about it lately."
"Now the struggle is getting worse and it's out of control, make sure it doesn't spread out of Washington. It's only a matter of time before it ripples across the Federation."
"That means I can't be neutral anymore. Soon no one will be able to remain neutral."
"Instead of passively waiting, it is better to choose actively."
"So you chose this one?" Brooklyn raised his voice slightly, causing Nelly and the others outside to look sideways.
Winston was silent for a moment, then said, "I'm still hesitating, isn't it just in time for you to call."
It was Brooklyn's turn to be silent.
Winston chose Mr. President because he chose him.
Brooklyn was in a mixed mood, and wanted to say something thankful, but he felt a little hypocritical, and he couldn't say anything.
In the end, he could only "snort", utter a syllable with an unknown meaning, and then changed the subject to Jerry.
He carefully introduced Jerry's current work status, colleague relationships, etc., to Winston, and chatted for more than ten minutes before hanging up the phone.
When the fairy tale ended, Brooklyn stood in front of the window for a moment with the phone in his hand, and silently turned back to his place.
He still has a lot to do every day, and it doesn't leave him much time to be lyrical.
Just write down any emotions.
By the time he called, Webster had already delivered three stacks of papers, neatly arranged in front right of Brooklyn.
Brooklyn opened the first stack of first papers.
This stack is a leave slip.
Not only judges, clerks, bailiffs, security guards, cleaners, judges' assistants...... There are leave requests for each position.
Brooklyn flipped down and beckoned.
Moments later, Nelly walked in.
Brooklyn pointed to the first stack of leave slips and asked, "Why are so many people applying for leave all of a sudden?"
E.. Y's benefits are very good, in addition to statutory holidays and holidays, there are also various categories such as "annual leave", "personal leave", "sick leave" and so on. In Brooklyn, for example, he has nearly 20 extra days off a year
to Hugh.
This kind of vacation is paid and can be chosen to rest anytime and anywhere.
"Is there any activity I don't know about?"
Nelly shook her head, "I haven't heard of it."
Brooklyn rolled her eyes and pushed the entire first stack to Nelly.
"Take these away, pick them well, and negotiate with the courts to make leave arrangements to ensure that there is no situation where the work cannot be carried out due to leave."
"Which court is unable to carry out its work because there are too many people on leave, and even dragged it back, let him go to the committee to explain it himself."
Actually, there is nothing to explain at all.
Staff leave is legal and reasonable, and it is justified.
But Harvard is influential on the committee, and at least it is more than enough to support Brooklyn's words.
"Also, they won't fill out e-forms?" Brooklyn asked, "Our intranet and server have been built very well, and after more than half a year of optimization and feedback, they are almost fool-like operations, and anyone else will not?"
[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]
His suggestions often contain words such as "should", "must", "must", and "otherwise".
Brooklyn flipped through the system and took a general look at E. Person Y, looking through the number of cases accepted by each court, found that it was on the rise every month.
It's no wonder that the same number of people is now more nervous than before.
"Webster."
Brooklyn shouted.
After a while, Webster trotted out in front of Brooklyn.
Brooklyn explained, "You go and count the number of people needed for each position in each court."
"Remember to tell them that this time they must fill in the system, and all paper submissions will be considered invalid."
"After all the positions in the court are reported, you can count them and give me the results, we really need to recruit people."
Webers nodded, confirmed that there were no other instructions for the time being, and turned to leave, while Brooklyn finished processing the paper documents, turned on the system, and began to process the electronic documents.
Due to his semi-mandatory requirements, currently E. Most of the office is carried out on the intranet, and only the occasional forgetfulness will print out the forms and documents.
As a result, there are far more documents to be processed in the system than paper documents.
As soon as Brooklyn logged in, he frowned at the on-to-do items that filled the screen.
Webster and Nelly had filtered it for him.
It's not that he has to deal with a large number of files every day, but the main thing is that he ran around some time ago and was delayed, which caused the to-do list to accumulate all the time, which is why he has this screen full of to-do items.
Sighing silently, Brooklyn plunged headlong into the sea of documents.
…………
After a long day, Brooklyn sat at his desk and didn't move anywhere except for eating and going to the bathroom, and finally cleared the backlog of pending matters.
With a long sigh of relief, Brooklyn rubbed his neck and greeted Nelly and the others one by one, and came to the parking lot.
It's finally time to get off work!
"Pick up Anne."
Brooklyn crossed his legs without a figure, half-lying in the back seat, and said to Harrison.
Harrison answered, started the car, and followed the navigation to set off.
Brooklyn felt like his neck was going to stiffen, and he collapsed in the back seat and kept hitting the back of his neck with his fists, and it took a long time to relieve himself.
By this time they were stuck on Hoover Avenue.
Glancing out the window and silently calculating the speed at which the current speed of the turtle was going, it would take at least forty minutes to drive out of Hoover Avenue, Brooklyn took out his phone and looked at it, a little uncomfortable with this rare leisure.
After swiping the social platform on his mobile phone for a while, Mr. President publicly ridiculed a party congressman on his social account as "his mother forgot to bring his brain when he gave birth to him".
Someone edited a classic quote from Mr. President on a TV show: "My net worth is now 8 billion, and it will soon rise to 10 billion, net worth, not total assets, excluding debts, I am not bragging, believe it or not, I don't brag."
Brooklyn clicked on the video and watched it, couldn't help but open the comments, typed a lot of words, and finally deleted them all.
He didn't know what the hell was going on in Mr. President's mind. He wanted to complain, but considering that he might need further cooperation with Mr. President in the future, he could only complain silently in his heart.
So Brooklyn simply put away his phone directly, out of sight.
"Harrison, what do you think of Mr. President?"
Brooklyn asked.
Harrison, who was driving, glanced at Brooklyn and replied, "Not much."
"Don't think anything?"
"What do you think if you don't have any opinions?" Brooklyn didn't let go, "It's just small talk, talk about it."
Harrison hesitated for a moment, then said, "He's wasting taxpayer money on a useless project."
This is the North American version of the "Berlin Wall" of Mr. President.
In February, Congress passed a bipartisan agreement to provide about $1.4 billion for the construction of "physical barriers" at the border. The border wall is located between California and the Mexican city of Tijuana, on the Pacific coast, stretching from the outskirts of Tijuana to the sea.
The purpose is to deter illegal immigrants smuggling into the Commonwealth from the U.S.-Mexico border.
This is also one of the major achievements of the current president.
But the deal didn't start with the current president's term. As early as 2006, the Federal President signed the Security Fence Law and began the construction of the border wall.
The original intention was also to control the growing number of illegal immigrants in the Federation.
It's just that there are many reasons such as attacks by political opponents, which lead people to think that this is a "blind operation" of the current president.
"That wall was not proposed by the current Mr. President."
Brooklyn couldn't help but ask Harrison about the history of the Border Wall.
Harrison retorted, "But he allocated $1.4 billion for the project. The money could have been used elsewhere."
"If illegal immigrants are not restricted, it will lead to a large influx of immigrants into the federation and increase the burden on the federal society." Brooklyn explained.
Harrison argued, "But we can clearly create more value with the money."
At the end, he added, "You asked me to say it."
Brooklyn was silent.
From a brief conversation with Harrison, it can be seen that the popular support of the current president, Mr. President, is really not optimistic.
Harrison had been with him for a while, and his vision and insight were not comparable to those of ordinary people.
Brooklyn takes Harrison with him wherever he goes, goes to meetings, plots, and never avoids him.
But even so, Harrison is still very unfavorable to the current president, believing that many of his policies are problematic.
What about the others?
What about those who don't have as much insight as Harrison?
It's not that Mr. President is so wise and that many of his policies are debatable, but at least he should be viewed objectively, right?
Under the efforts and propaganda of the media, it is impossible to maintain even a fair and objective view, so what is the talk of re-election?
Thinking of the video he just saw on social platforms, Brooklyn suddenly felt that Mr. President really owed a beating......
I don't know how dangerous my situation is, and I'm still showing off my wealth there!
