Chapter 399: Taking Stock of the Harvest, the Reason for Lacey's Lack of Money
Special Investigation Unit, Office Area.
Luo Ann leaves the team leader's office, picks up the landline phone, and discovers that the person opposite is John Rodriguez (Chapter 384)
Under the recommendation of Roan, the other party successfully met with Mr. Clement at the FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C.
What the two talked about and what conditions they exchanged, Luo An didn't know, but hearing John's hearty laughter on the phone, Luo An knew that the other party definitely didn't run in vain this time.
"Then congratulations, President John."
Luo An smiled, in the federal country, businessmen and politicians are far more connected than ordinary people think, and the two help and restrain each other.
In the past, when John Rodriguez was working in the CIA, Clement didn't need to meet him, but now that John is the president of the Mueller Group, there is a lot more operability, and Mr. Clement doesn't mind solving some of the CIA problems for John.
Hearing Roan's words, John Rodriguez on the other end of the phone laughed, said a few words of modesty, and after greeting Roan for a while, he finally said the purpose of his call:
John and John's wife, along with their daughter, Carla, booked a table at a French restaurant in Los Angeles on a weekend to invite Roan over for a light meal.
"No problem."
Luo An turned his brain, and immediately understood that the other party's purpose was to pull into a relationship with him, and it happened that Luo An also thought of some things that the other party could help, so he smiled and nodded and agreed.
After continuing to greet for a while, the two hung up the phone, John in the distance immediately called his wife with a smile on his face to explain the situation, and Luo An turned around and returned to his team leader's office directly, he still had some work to do.
While processing the work, Luo An also calculated the gains during this time.
Starting from the [Hollywood Rich Guy Shooting Case] to the [Judge Hotel Movement Murder Case] that was completed a few days ago, Luo An has handled a total of 4 cases during this time.
There was a $2,000 bonus for each case solved, and two of the cases were doubled after the fact, plus a weekly salary of $1,000, and Luo An's base harvest during this period was $16,000.
After the [Hollywood Rich Guy Shot Case] was solved, the father of the 18-year-old female killer Rexa O'Dell (Chapter 337), 86-year-old "old money" Prinna O'Deal, donated $1 million to the Special Investigation Team and "bought" $4 million worth of shares from Roan.
The $1 million, Luo An has been divided equally among the other three members of the special investigation team, Luo An got 250,000 yuan, plus the 4 million, Luo An received a total of 4.25 million US dollars in this case.
In the following [Missing Girl in the Villa District], John Rodriguez donated $1 million to the Special Investigation Team, and according to the past, the money was divided equally among the four members of the Special Investigation Team again, in addition to John also gave Roan a personal $3 million thank you and $2 million to help meet Mr. Clement.
[Los Angeles Speaker Physical Split Case], the smuggling case encountered in the middle, the special investigation team received a total of 2.23 million US dollars, and there were five other new agents involved in this case, so Luo An also gave them a small part of the money afterwards, and most of the rest was merged into the special investigation team's case handling funds, and Luo An and the four only shared a small part.
The harvest of this period adds up, and Luo An's accumulation reaches 9.56 million US dollars.
Of that amount, $9 million was taken by Luo Ann to buy shares in Netflix, and the remaining $560,000 was set aside by him for emergencies.
As for the [Judge Hotel Movement Sniper Case] that Luo An is dealing with now, the after-the-fact gains of those companies that buy and sell illegal gains cannot be obtained at all in a year and a half, so Luo An chooses to wait quietly.
After dealing with his own gains, Luo An also simply sent the part belonging to Mona, Michelle and Lacey.
Looking at the $506,000 that belonged to him in the folder, Michelle's gaze at Luo An was instantly extremely bright, and then Luo An's teacup was never short of water, except for the documents that had to be handled by Luo An himself, other documents never appeared on Luo An's desk.
When Mona saw this number, her breathing was instantly short, her eyes widened and rippled, and Luo An, who was familiar with Mona, could see at a glance that she couldn't bear it anymore, but after all, this was the office area of the special investigation team, so Luo An had to give her a look and let her endure it first, and then go home at night.
Lacey cheered and excited again when she saw this number, and the listlessness she had when she was dealing with documents disappeared instantly, and she gave Luo An a big hug, and with a big wave of her hand, she took Luo An for the next three months...... Lunch for a month.
Ann: "......"
Seeing the speechless expression on Luo An's face, Lacey smiled, walked behind Luo An to help him massage his shoulders, and explained with a smile:
"You know, I'm short on money."
Luo An turned his head with a puzzled face:
"What the hell are you doing? How can you be so short of money? ”
Based on Recy's ridiculously low expenses on weekdays, coupled with the gains she has gained in the Special Investigations Team for so long, Luo An judged that her gains definitely added up to more than one million.
"Uh...... I'm going to give myself more money for my retirement. ”
In the face of Luo An's question, Lacey was silent for a few seconds, and explained with a low smile:
"The chances of the federal court supporting same-sex marriage are very low, and I don't know what will happen in the future, and there is a high probability that I will be alone in my old age, so it is absolutely right to prepare more pension money.
I'm going to save up to buy a house, a car, and some insurance for the elderly. ”
“……”
Looking at Lacey, who was planning for retirement now, Luo An licked his lips and did not speak.
He remembered that not long after 05 years in his previous life, a few years later, the state courts in several states in the federal government passed a bill to allow same-sex marriage, and if Lacey wanted to marry a certain girl, she could go to that state at that time.
However, Luo Ann had no way to say this kind of thing to Lacey, and he couldn't say that he had the ability to predict the future, so he had to pat Lacey's arm to show his support for her, living in the country of the Federation, saving money is always a good thing.
"Thank you."
Hearing that Luo An supported her, Lacey smiled and thanked her as before, and her gratitude to Luo An increased a little more in her heart.
This is another reason why Lacey likes to stay in the Special Investigations Unit and work under Roan:
Luo An does not discriminate against Lacey's orientation, and has never shown discrimination against Lacey in his words and deeds, and has always treated Lacey as a normal person.
This is not easy, the federal in '05 is still a world of conservatism, not to mention the law enforcement agencies like the FBI, where conservative personnel account for the vast majority.
"No thanks."
Luo An replied with a smile, he had roughly figured out Lacey's thoughts for so long, and he didn't want to do anything on purpose, just let it be, so he then pointed to his left shoulder and said:
"Go on, use some force here."
Lacey: "......"
It was time to get off work quickly, and on Friday night Roan played a game of poker with Mona, stayed at home the next day for a day off, and at half past eight on Sunday night, Roan drove Mona and the two of them were invited to what John Rodriguez called an upscale French restaurant.
