Chapter 550, Young Man
The Anne Brooklyn Law Firm did not move. When Brooklyn arrived, he first went to see Anne, and seeing that Anne was still busy, he went to Winston for another walk, but he was disappointed.
According to his new secretary, Winston went out to do research again, supposedly to join a teacher's organization, presumably to hear what teachers think about the current education system.
Winston is not dead set on education reform! Brooklyn sighed secretly and returned to the law firm. Today, Anne Brooklyn has expanded into a medium-sized law firm, with a bustling office area and a bustling phone call and people rushing by.
Brooklyn carefully let busy employees go all the way into Annie's office. Anne was answering the phone.
Brooklyn had no choice but to flip through the papers on the table. When Anne hung up the phone, Brooklyn pointed to her watch and then to her stomach, reminding Anne that it was time to get off work, not to be so tired, she was still pregnant.
Anne rubbed her forehead and pointed to the tome spread out on the table
"Harold Eucalyptus, that lawyer named Harvey is appealing."
"What does this have to do with you?" Brooklyn asked, somewhat inexplicably. Harold Eucalyptus is indeed handled by Annie, but Annie is no longer a prosecutor, and the appeal is appealed, and there are no other prosecutors on the prosecutor's office, what does it have to do with Annie?
Anne said with some annoyance
"This damn Harvey is not only appealing, but also arguing that I have played a dishonorable role in this eucalyptus." The prosecutor can play a very large role in the case, and can even directly influence the outcome of the trial.
For example, as long as they are not afraid of trouble and investigation, prosecutors can unscrupulously destroy evidence and make it unusable due to procedural issues.
Prosecutors can unscrupulously fill in materials, falsify evidence, and turn suspicious documents into iron eucalyptus. As long as you are not afraid of death and have a future and future, the prosecutor can casually fiddle with a piece of eucalyptus into the shape he likes.
In practice, for various reasons, prosecutors will more or less step on the line when investigating the case.
In full accordance with the procedural requirements, things simply cannot move forward. This kind of stepping on the line is often tacitly approved by everyone.
Not only prosecutors, but also the police often do this.
"This case has nothing to do with you." Brooklyn reassured
"Let the prosecutor's office have a headache for themselves." Brooklyn speculated that Harvey probably tasted the sweetness of 'matching' with Anne in the first trial, and thought that instead of changing prosecutors, it would be better to keep Anne, his familiar opponent, and continue to 'match' in the circuit appeals court.
To say that Harvey really wanted to do something to Anne, Brooklyn thought it was unlikely. Harvey belongs to the law firm of Pearson Spector, one of the largest law firms in New York at the time, and has a lot of voice within the judicial system, and is very aware of changes at the top of the judicial system.
Brooklyn has passed its weakest period, driven out the forces that covet New York, and now Brooklyn can walk sideways in New York.
In this case, it is obviously not a good choice to offend Brooklyn again. Therefore, Brooklyn does not think that Harvey's purpose in saying this is to use the eucalyptus to attack Annie, do something to Annie, and replace Annie, and his behavior is more like putting pressure on the prosecutor's office to transfer Chandler Kane back to Annie.
This is a game that falls within the rules of the trial, and if Brooklyn jumps out to defend it just by putting pressure on Brooklyn to this extent, although everyone will not say anything, it will not be very good for Brooklyn and Anne's reputation.
Therefore, Brooklyn comforted Anne to ignore it, leaving Chandler Kane with a headache for himself. As long as Anne ignores it, Harvey can't do anything, only Chandler Kane is caught in the middle with a headache, and he can't force Anne to go back, and he can't do anything to Harvey.
It was enough for Chandler Kane to carry the pressure alone. Anne had only vented her emotions for a while, and now that she had calmed down, she sat back in her chair, stared at the open file for a while, and sighed.
Brooklyn's gaze shifted to Annie's movements, looking her up and down. Although Anne didn't want the child at first, she was always careful after being persuaded by Mark Mee to talk to Brooklyn.
She came to work today wearing a pair of flat shoes and a loose-fitting dress with dark florals.
I didn't bring extra jewelry, and I didn't apply too much makeup, so I basically didn't wear makeup. The outfit made her look less like she was coming to work and more like she was at home, and Brooklyn smelled a surging aroma of shampoo at home.
He couldn't help but get up, stood behind Anne around the table, leaned down to wrap his arms around Anne, sniffed the ends of her hair, and asked softly
"What's wrong?" Anne closed the file and rubbed her forehead
"The Harolds are actually quite pitiful."
"I've seen families who have adopted Harold's daughter, and they're already preparing to have surgery on her. But this is only treatment with Harvey's intervention, if Harvey's family had not endured it silently and did not retaliate, they might have to live in a broken cardboard box for the rest of their lives. ”
"No, maybe it's more miserable. The Harolds simply don't make enough money to support their daughter's daily medical expenses, and it may not be long before they have to give up on treating their daughter. ”
"They killed these three families and bought a way out for their daughter." Brooklyn leaned against Anne's side cheek, kissed her lightly on the cheek, and said vaguely
"Why do you suddenly become sentimental? It's not like you'd say it. Perhaps it was Brooklyn's movements that tickled her, and Anne stepped aside, pulling away and currying
"What would I say? Although I am a prosecutor, that doesn't mean I don't have empathy. In your eyes, prosecutors are hard-hearted, right? Brooklyn paused in surprise as he posted it
"I didn't say that, how could I think that?"
"That's what you mean." Anne muttered quietly, as if thinking of something, and shook her head and began to collect the file.
The atmosphere was ruined, and Brooklyn straightened up and took a deep look at Anne. Anne finished tidying up her desk, stood up and began to pack up the papers she was going to take with her, only to get so close that she almost hit Brooklyn's chin.
"Get out of the way." Anne looked back, pushed her chair away and began to stuff papers into her bag. Brooklyn silently took a half step back, another half a step back as Anne pushed the chair away, and then a step back, her back almost against the window, looking thoughtfully at Anne's busy back.
It's only been three months, and the contrast is so big? It wasn't until Anne finished packing up and stuffing the bag that she put it in her hand, straightened up and tapped her back lightly with her other hand, and turned back to greet Brooklyn.
As soon as she turned around, she saw Brooklyn staring straight at her, looking down suspiciously
"What are you looking at?" Brooklyn came to her senses, took Anne's bag, grabbed the coat from the chair and put it on her, and when Anne lifted her handbag, they both left the office and walked outside.
Along the way through the office area, Anne would greet the staff in a friendly manner, telling them not to be too busy too late and to go home early.
Brooklyn silently stayed next to her, observing the staff of the law firm, and occasionally greeting him, and nodding politely in return.
He found that Anne's staff, with the exception of a few lawyers who had just been hired, were generally young. After going out, getting in the car, and telling Harrison to go around to the Chinese supermarket, Brooklyn and Anne sat in the back seat and chatted.
"Why do you think the employees you recruit here are so young?" Anne took out a mirror from her bag and looked at it, then took out a color that Brooklyn didn't know and the brand's lipstick and briefly touched up the makeup, gently wiped the color from the corners of her lips with her tail finger, took a left and right photo, and then put away the lipstick and mirror after confirming that the makeup was flawless, and then answered Brooklyn's question.
"Young people are more comfortable with the job."
"Young people are more adaptable?" Brooklyn was a little confused. He recalls the early days of e. Internship program in partnership with Harvard.
Those students don't look like they're more adaptable. They complained about almost the entire internship period, and they were still complaining on the day they left the party.
Because of this batch of interns, Harvard has partnered with E.. It was originally agreed that the internship program would be held once a year, but it was stopped after only this time.
Stopping things in Brooklyn. He found that the internship program seemed to change a lot for the interns, but in fact only a few were actually changed.
Most of the interns were just too afraid to speak out because of the majesty of Brooklyn, and they relapsed as soon as they returned to Boston.
Probably the only thing they learned during their internship was not to express their dissatisfaction in front of their boss in the workplace...... Which one is more adaptable?
On the contrary, most of the places that Brooklyn specially opened for recruiting thunder were middle-aged, and these people adapted very well.
Even if e.. As office efficiency has improved, the 'number of receptions' has been climbing, and security has become more and more difficult, and no one has complained.
Most of them are conscientious and satisfied with the job. Anne saw Brooklyn's confusion and explained
"Our salaries are not high, we can't compare with the top law firms, and we can't attract good lawyers at all. However, large law firms prefer to recruit outstanding graduates who have graduated from prestigious schools, have experience, and have connections. Anne spread her hands
"Big law firms require young people to have work experience, but they don't give them job opportunities, where do young people get work experience?"
"Therefore, the larger the law firm, the less opportunities there are for young people. Young people can only go to small law firms for internships, and then be poached by big law firms after they have come to prominence. ”
"We can't impress the salaries of barristers, so we simply target young people who are not wanted by these big law firms and disliked by small law firms. Give them internships and nurture them slowly. ”
"The most important thing is that these students are more empathetic and more suitable for public welfare projects when they are just out of school. At least they don't pick and choose from their customers and pay for them. ”
"They value the satisfaction of public welfare projects more than remuneration. A heartfelt thank you from the person concerned can make them happy for a long time. If the person can send a pie of their own, it will be enough for them to show off in the office for a week. As she spoke, Anne couldn't help but sigh, and then threw two rolls of the eyes at Brooklyn.
"You elite students are very bad, we prefer ordinary people." Brooklyn was listening to it with relish, and he was pulled in coldly, and his face was suddenly inexplicable.
"What's the matter with me? I'm an ordinary person, too. I'm working so hard. "Brooklyn feels aggrieved.
"The last time we were hiring, a Harvard graduate came in for an interview." Anne began to give examples to prove that she did not slander Brooklyn
"From the moment I entered the door, I picked and choose, and I didn't say anything, sometimes saying that our lounge was small, sometimes saying that we didn't prepare a smoking room, sometimes thinking that we were not famous, and sometimes picking on the low salary we gave."
"As a result, I inquired, two years after graduating from Harvard, he did not work in related industries for two years, and his practicing certificate was obtained with the help of his congressman's mother."
"These are your 'good' students at Harvard."
"And what did you do?" Brooklyn wisely did not refute, but followed Anne's words and asked.
"I wrote a report letter and handed it to Winston's assistant at lunchtime." Anne said.
Brooklyn was tempted to say that this was also a 'back door', but given the recent change in Anne's personality, he wisely didn't say it.
He subconsciously looked up, and sure enough, he saw Harrison in the rearview mirror. The two looked at each other, confronted each other for a moment, and then moved away at the same time.
"What do you want to eat at night?" Brooklyn shifts the subject. Anne thought for a moment, but didn't know what came to mind, her expression began to distort gradually, her mouth opened slightly, her throat rolled, and then she let out a retching sound.
Brooklyn was stunned, and after reacting, he hurriedly rummaged through the container while looking around.
"Harrison, quick, pull over!" Anne covered her mouth and bent over retching.
Brooklyn rummaged for a long time but couldn't find the container, so he could only bend over, not knowing where to put his two hands.
Harrison, on the other hand, seemed to be very experienced in the matter, and did not hesitate to choose a place close to the mall to pull over.
Then he turned back to the Brooklyn duo who were opening the door and getting out of the car
"Walk straight into the mall and there is the bathroom on the right hand side. Boss, I can't park here, I'll have to drive a little further and I'll be back to pick you up right away. Brooklyn hurriedly helped Anne out of the car, and before she could speak, she saw Anne covering her mouth and her cheeks bulging.
Then he broke free from Brooklyn's support, crouched down, and threw up.
