"If you are not very busy, I hope you can come to the Imperial Capital as soon as possible. There are some things we need to discuss before we can make a decision."
When Kevin said this, Dulin knew that he believed that the phone line was not secure, that some things were not suitable to be said on the phone, and that it might involve some things that wandered in the gray area.
The phone calls at this time were indeed not that safe. The operator only needed to plug the earphone plug into the monitoring port to hear the conversation between the two people, or even record it.
Du Lin agreed immediately. He didn't have much else to do in his current job except signing, so he could get away with it.
"I'll be in the Imperial Capital tomorrow night at the latest. Remember to pick me up, bastard!"
After simply arranging the work at hand, Dulin went to the Imperial Capital alone. This was his first time coming to the core area of the Empire. From the moment he set foot on the ground of the Imperial Capital Station, what he saw and heard , all subverted his understanding of this empire.
It was already past eight o'clock in the evening when he arrived at the Imperial Capital. The entire station was brightly lit. Dozens of huge light bulbs made it impossible for passengers walking in the station to even see a shadow under their feet. Cleaners everywhere are constantly patrolling their "territory" to ensure that no garbage is found anywhere in the station.
All passengers seemed very polite, even those who were rude became polite in the context and atmosphere of this occasion.
That's not all. The moment he walked out of the station, a colorful city suddenly came into view in the dark night. It was as prosperous as the world in his dream. There was a moment of trance, and he was almost lost in this shocking scenery. It was not until Kevin came up to him that he came back to his senses.
"How is it? Are you shocked? When I first came here, I stood here like you for more than ten minutes. I was much more excited than you at that time. I kept asking myself, is this the place where I will fight in the future? Do you know what I was thinking at that time?" Du Lin shook his head cooperatively, giving Kevin enough room to play. He turned around and walked into this amazing city with Du Lin, and said softly: "I swear, I want my name to fill every corner of this city, and when anyone talks about the profession of lawyer, they will use the name Kevin to represent it.”
"A very great dream, isn't it?" He took out a cigarette and lit it, and gave one to Du Lin, "Where is your dream?"
Du Lin took the cigarette and came to Kevin and lit the cigarette with the fire in his hand. After taking a puff, he slowly exhaled, "Me?" He breathed a sigh of relief with a half-smile, "One day I will be standing there On Parliament Hill, hold this city in the palm of your hand!”
"Yes, very inspiring. A sinful guy wants to rule this empire. Have you asked Mags?" Kevin patted Du Lin on the shoulder. The two were well-dressed on the outside, but they were so bad in their bones that they were bleeding. The guys walked down the steps together.
Kevin's car is not bad, not a shiny luxury car like Luwei Haos, but a more stable sedan. The appearance of this car has begun to approach the sedans in the world in Dulin's dream. The floor is lower and the cabin is correspondingly lower. The black piano paint shell looks heavy and steady without looking too old-fashioned.
"The special car assigned to me by the firm, they have some conscience." After the two got in the car, Kevin explained that as the lawyer who brought down An Pu, no matter whether he used tricks or not, he was no less important to the lawyer industry. A super earthquake. This lawyer from the countryside has slapped the prosecutor in the face twice in a row, making his colleagues look embarrassed. It is said that because of Anpu's conviction, the lawyers' fees have been slightly increased by half a step.
Dulin only said that the car was nice. His attention was not on the car, but on the street outside.
After coming out of the station, he entered this city that never sleeps. The streets were full of fashionably dressed people, which did not fit well with the serious imperial city he imagined. In Dulin's imagination, the cultural and historical heritage and royal style of the imperial capital should make the city more solemn, instead of the city waking up at night like Ilian and Montel.
"Let's go have something to eat first, and then find a place to rest for a while. We can talk about the hearing tomorrow."
Now that he had arrived at this place, Dulin naturally followed Kevin's advice. At Kevin's request, the driver drove to a restaurant outside the center of the imperial capital, a barbecue restaurant.
The owner of the restaurant knew Kevin and greeted him when he came in, and personally took them to a nice location.
After the two sat down, Kevin introduced: "The boss is from Tenel. Only here can you eat the most authentic Canles barbecue, and it is also Tenel style."
Sometimes people always ignore the things around them, and the things they take for granted have become unimportant and have little value in people's eyes. But only when you leave the place where you live, leave your hometown and go to a farther place, do you realize how precious those things that were once dispensable to you are. Just because of a name or a gimmick, it is very likely that people will develop a sense of intimacy.
In anticipation, the chef brought up two huge grilled beef ribs and explained that this meal was a treat from the boss, asking them to enjoy the food with ease.
Du Lin glanced at Kevin with some surprise. In his impression, Kevin was the kind of guy who is a good friend when you have money and is very busy when you don't have money. How could he be such a petty person? Do you have a relationship with the shop owner
"Have you ever helped him with a lawsuit?" Du Lin asked while tucking the napkin under his collar.
Kevin smiled and shrugged, "Do you know the term celebrity effect? I am a celebrity now. Every time I come here to dine, I am promoting this restaurant, so it is not normal to eat something for free. Something?"
Dulin immediately understood that this was a deal, not a favor.
I have to say that the roasted beef ribs in this restaurant are indeed as Kevin said, they taste very authentic and have a generous portion. The shop is not very big, with only seven or eight tables, and each table is full of people. It can be seen that the business is not bad.
After the two of them devoured their half-full meal, they slowed down and Kevin suddenly asked, "Do you have any favorite movies recently?"
Du Lin wiped the grease on his hands with the hand towel at the table. He shook his head and said, "I don't watch movies." After saying this, he thought for a moment, "Does the one I shot myself count?"
Kevin had a disappointed expression on his face, "I originally planned to treat you to a good time, but I didn't expect you to be so disrespectful. I believe Frena, you're going to vomit because you're so familiar with it. Do you want to try a different flavor?"
Dulin objected seriously: "Please don't slander the pure friendship between me and Ms. Frena. I am not your kind of person!"
"What's wrong with me?" Kevin asked back, "If it is a mistake for me as a man to pursue some women, then everyone in this world will be sentenced. By the way, do you like men?"
In the first half of the sentence, Du Lin's expression was normal, but in the second half of the sentence, he almost picked up the beef ribs and hit Kevin on the head, "Do you want to die? I also like women, and I'm good. "
"Then prove it to me." Kevin took off the napkin from his collar and wiped the grease stains on his lips. "I have never seen you having fun every time we meet. To be honest, I really thought you were If you like men, you don’t have to avoid anything. I won’t discriminate against you. This is normal. Everyone has the right to pursue their own preferences. This is a gift given to mankind by God. There is no right or wrong.”
Du Lin listened to him quietly, and then began to touch his pockets one by one. Kevin immediately took out the cigarette box and handed it over, "Are you looking for cigarettes? Smoke mine!"
Dulin answered him seriously, "No, I'm looking for a gun!"
The two slandered each other for a while, laughing and scolding each other, which made each other feel relaxed and not burdened at all. The two of them don't spend much time in contact with each other, and when they do, one of them is in trouble, but they are like good friends for decades, and they don't take anything they say to heart. Both Kevin and Du Lin actually cherish this friendship, because this friendship has a particularly pure aspect - money.
After dinner, Kevin took Du Lin to the largest song and dance theater in the imperial capital. There was a stage play at half past nine. After buying the tickets, Kevin took Du Lin in and found seats for the two of them. Then sat down. About five minutes later, the lights in the theater went out and the stage suddenly lit up.
"I said, are you sure I will like this kind of art?" Dulin asked in the dark.
Kevin turned his head to look at him strangely, his reflective eyes full of curiosity, "Don't you know we're not here to listen to the opera?"
This time it was Du Lin's turn to be curious, "Then what are we doing here? Are we going to eat after the meal?"
Kevin smiled mysteriously and whispered in Dulin's ear.
He brought Du Lin here to have some fun.
Those beautiful actors on the stage all have a price. Fifty-five minutes, six acts in total, nearly forty female actors. As long as they are interested, these actors will choose a successful person who is interested in her to leave after the show, and We will also bring costumes for performances.
There is no doubt that this approach of the theater has made stage plays, which have begun to decline in recent years, become "hot" again, with three performances a day almost being sold out. Not only do actresses have opportunities, but so do male actors.
What kind of beauties, what kind of candidates, what kind of actors, what kind of auditions, I don’t know what you are talking about!
