The next morning, Kevin struggled to wake up from the five girls who had worked hard all night. Looking at these girls who were still resting after working all night, Kevin was moved by their dedication. He knew that these girls could get money based on their own efforts. Regardless of whether he gave it to him or not, or whether Du Lin gave it to him or not, the parents of these girls would give them enough money. This is not to curry favor with anyone, but to protect one's own status and dominance.
But despite this, Kevin opened his wallet and took out five twenty-dollar bills from his wallet, placed them on the table and pressed them with a cup. This was a tip.
Everyone who works seriously is worthy of respect, no matter what they do, noble or humble, at least the income they receive from their labor.
After changing his clothes and walking out of the hotel, the strong autumn wind blew outside, making him feel refreshed and a little cold. After wrapping up his clothes, the doorman had already stopped a car for him.
The doorman didn't know Kevin, but he knew the man who came with Kevin last night. This was a guest entertained by the mayor. How dare he pretend he didn't see him
Kevin casually took out a few coins and put them in the doorman's hand. The doorman bent down and said thank you and wished him a pleasant stay in Otis.
He is a little different. The high-end hotel staff's attentive service seems to have penetrated into people's hearts, but it is rare to see someone like this who knows how to say a few nice words. This is the difference between loving work and not loving work. It can be seen that Otis City is a little different from other places. Kevin can feel this difference, but cannot tell it. It's too subtle to describe.
"Dear guest, where are you going?" The driver smiled and looked at Kevin through the reflection of the mirror in the car's rearview mirror, and pinched the brim of his hat to show respect.
Kevin glanced at him and saw that he was wearing the same clothes and hat. The car was also very clean. He also saw four bottles of bottled drinks on the armrest box. "Can I drink this?" he said. I asked, wanting to see what the driver would say.
"Of course, sir, this is for distinguished guests like you, and it is free of charge. Odis City MRT Taxi Company is at your service wholeheartedly!"
The very polite attitude and the words the driver said made Kevin stunned for a moment. He picked up a bottle of drink and unscrewed the cap. It was a bit sour and a bit astringent. They were obviously unpleasant tastes, but when mixed together, it gave people a very refreshing feeling.
"You know me?" He raised the drink in his hand and shook it.
The driver did not urge Kevin to say what he was asking for. Instead, he patiently replied, "No, sir, I don't know you."
"Then why are you so polite to me?"
"Because this is the city of Audis, sir!", the driver's eyes seemed to have a bright light, "It is our Audis people's honor that you come here, and it is also our responsibility to provide the best service to distinguished guests like you. Responsibility, sir.”
Kevin suddenly laughed. He finally knew what was different. He took another sip of his drink and said, "Go to the city hall."
"Okay, sir. Please sit still, I'm going to start."
Looking out the window at the streets that were even cleaner and tidier than those in the Imperial Capital, Kevin suddenly understood that Du Lin's goal was beyond his reach. Perhaps, as they once joked, one day Du Lin would visit the Imperial Capital in person and stand in the parliament. The mountains overlook the empire.
What about him
The picturesque street scene outside the window no longer seemed attractive, and Kevin fell into deep thought. He frowned, recalling the past.
He watched with his own eyes as Du Lin transformed from a little bastard who could be crushed to death to a great mayor, and even built the city of Otis into a state that made him feel scared. Du Lin has been moving towards a certain Great goals keep moving forward, but where is your goal
Best lawyer
He already was. During his revenge against Ordo, the firm called him more than once. Some wealthy people wanted to file a lawsuit and pointed out that Kevin must be the main defense lawyer and spent hundreds of thousands or millions of lawyers. cost.
Has this road come to an end? While others are still pursuing greater goals, have you already reached the end? Will he have to watch one person after another surpass him in the future and become a being that he needs to look up to
No, it shouldn't be like this.
When he was a student, he was the best student. After becoming a lawyer, he is the best lawyer, so what should he pursue to live up to the wisdom God gave him
Time always passed quickly when he was thinking. When the driver reminded him that he had arrived, he raised his head and looked at a very spacious square and the city hall building that shocked many people when they saw it for the first time.
He took out ten yuan to pay the taxi fare, and claimed that he didn't need to change it. He closed the door with the driver's kind words.
Yes, he could feel that as long as he was in this city, no matter where he stood or what he was doing, every local would treat him sincerely as a "noble lord". This is a city of miracles. In such a city, Kevin is willing to spend every penny in his pocket in order to continue to enjoy this wonderful feeling that surpasses tens of thousands of people.
Miraculous and terrifying.
He walked into the city hall with his head tilted up and leaning on a cane. Under the reception of the staff, he opened the door of Dulin's office. He walked in with his head raised, hung his hat and clothes on the hangers, walked slowly to Du Lin's desk, and stood there, looking at Du Lin.
The two looked at each other for a while, and then Kevin said in a deep voice: "Hey, buddy, do you think it's better for me to run for the Minister of Justice, or for the lifetime justice of the Supreme Court of the Empire?"
This seemed like a joke, but it made Dulin think seriously. He pursed his lips and pointed to the chair next to Kevin, "You can't do it, Justice, unless you are willing to serve as the city court in Otis City." As a judge, you will spend about twenty or thirty years competing for that position with about seven or eight older people who have the same qualifications as you or even better looks than you when you are in your fifties or sixties.”
This sentence is not due to Du Lin fooling Kevin. Kevin is a lawyer himself and knows the judicial system very well. Judges basically work their way up from the grassroots level, which takes a long time, and there is also a standard - the referee rate. To put it simply, a judge needs to adjudicate more than 3,000 cases cumulatively from the bottom to the next level. , among which the verdict results recognized by both the plaintiff and the defendant must be more than 80%.
In other words, no more than two cases can be heard from ten cases, and people will continue to appeal after the verdict, and then continue to expand according to this ratio. After reaching the state or even the ministry, even if ten cases can be heard in a day, I am afraid there will not be that many cases. Let me review it for you.
We have to wait for a long time to meet the quota, and then we have to wait for the current justice to retire before we have a chance to fight. If it fails, everyone is about the same age, and if they beat each other to death, I am afraid that I will be about the same age.
"Then Minister of Justice, how long do you think it will take if I work in this direction?", he shrugged, "I don't know the political aspects thoroughly enough, give me a number that makes me happy."
Du Lin put down the pen in his hand and took out a box of cigarettes. He took one and threw it on the table. The two old smokers immediately started puffing away.
After blowing out a puff of smoke, Du Lin said with a half-smile: "It depends on when I can become prime minister."
The prime minister has the power to form a cabinet. For example, the current cabinet is basically nominated and elected by Maggs. Generally speaking, no one will dislike the prime minister in this regard, nor will they oppose the prime minister.
There are two reasons. First, if people from the old party raise objections, will the old party no longer be in power? Once they are in power, I am afraid that the new party will retaliate and cause trouble for them. Instead of disgusting others and waiting for others to disgust themselves, it is better to let go of this kind of thing. Second point, even if someone suddenly emerges and gets a position that should belong to someone else, it is actually meaningless.
Because the entire cabinet is like a machine, but you are not a supporting part in this machine. You will not get the overall bonus effect, and you will have a lot of troubles at work. If you are not careful, you will be impeached. In the end, you can only Take the initiative to resign.
So there is nothing wrong with what Dulin said. As long as he can become Prime Minister, naming Kevin as Minister of Justice is just a matter of words.
"It makes me feel like I'm being controlled by you. It's too bad. This feeling!" Kevin complained habitually. He would only do this when he was with Du Lin. "Then I'll still call you boss from now on." Your name? You won’t embarrass me when I take office because I don’t call you boss?”
"We are friends, Kevin. I will show my sincerity to my friends. I am very sad that you said that."
"But why are you laughing? Shouldn't you cry when you are sad?"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and their laughter gradually became louder.
After laughing for a while, Du Lin stopped his voice and said, "If you are not joking, then you can work under me first to get some experience. From next year to the year after, I may change places, and then I will You recommend it to Mags.”
Kevin was stunned for a moment, "Change the place? Why change the place? Isn't it good here?" In Kevin's opinion, Otis City already has the potential to take off. Once this city becomes a new model, Dulin will It is possible to cross a step and jump forward.
A confident smile appeared on Du Lin's face. The rising sunlight penetrated the glass and shone on him, making him look irresistibly charming. "Life is both short and long. I just chose My favorite way, that’s all.”
