The next morning, Kevin struggled to wake up from 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 with their own efforts. Whether he gave it or not, and whether durin gave it or not, their families would give them enough money. This is not to curry favor with anyone, but to protect their status and dominance.
Nevertheless, kevin opened his wallet, took out five twenty dollar bills from his wallet, put them on the table and pressed them with a cup. This is a tip.
Every person who works hard is worthy of respect, no matter what they do, noble or low, at least their income in exchange for labor.
He put on his clothes and walked out of the hotel. There was a strong autumn wind outside, which made him feel refreshed and a little cold. Wrapped in his clothes, the doorman had stopped a car for him.
The doorman doesn''t know Kevin, but he knows the man who came with Kevin last night. This is the guest entertained by the mayor. How dare he not see it?
Kevin took out some coins and put them in the doorman''s hand. The doorman bent over and said thank you and wished him a happy stay in Otis.
He is a little different. The service of senior hotel staff is very considerate, which seems to have gone deep into people''s hearts, but it is rare to know how to say a few words of good obedience like this. This is the difference between loving work and not loving work. We can see that Otis is a little different from other places. Kevin can feel this difference, but he can''t say it. It''s too subtle to describe.
"Dear guest, where are you going?" in the interior rearview mirror, the driver smiled, looked at Kevin through the reflection of the mirror and pinched the brim of his hat to show his respect.
Kevin looked at him. He saw the uniform clothes and hats. The car was also very clean. He saw four bottles of bottled drinks on the armrest box. "Can I drink this?" he asked to see what the driver said.
"Of course, sir, this is for a distinguished guest like you, and it''s free. Otis MRT taxi company will serve you wholeheartedly!"
Kevin was stunned by his polite attitude and what the driver said. He picked up a bottle of drink and unscrewed the lid. It was a little sour and astringent. It was obviously a bad taste, but it gave people a very refreshing feeling when mixed together.
"Do you know me?" he raised his drink and shook it.
The driver didn''t urge Kevin to say what he wanted. Instead, he replied patiently, "no, sir, I don''t know you."
"Then why are you so polite to me?"
"Because this is Otis City, sir!" the driver seemed to have a bright luster in his eyes. "It''s our honor for Otis people to come here. It''s also our responsibility to provide the best service for distinguished guests like you, sir."
Kevin suddenly laughed. He finally knew what was different. He took another sip of drink and said, "go to the city hall."
"Yes, sir. Please sit down and I''ll start."
Looking out the window at the street cleaner than the imperial capital, Kevin suddenly realized that Turin''s goal was beyond his estimation. Perhaps, as they joked, one day Turin would visit the imperial capital and stand on the parliament mountain to look down on the Empire.
What about him?
The picturesque street view outside the window no longer seemed attractive, and Kevin fell into meditation. He frowned and recalled the past.
He saw with his own eyes that Du Lin had changed from a little bastard who could be crushed to death into a great mayor, and built Otis into a city that made him feel scared. Du Lin has been moving forward towards a great goal, but where is his goal?
The best lawyer?
He is already. During his revenge in Orlando, the firm called him more than once. Some rich people want to file a lawsuit, pointing out that Kevin must be the main defense lawyer, and took out hundreds of thousands of millions of lawyer fees.
Has this road come to an end? Have you come to the end when others are still pursuing greater goals? Does he want to see one person after another surpass him and become the existence he needs to look up to in the future?
No, it shouldn''t be like this.
As 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 has given him?
Time always passed quickly when thinking. When the driver reminded him that he had arrived, he looked up at a very spacious square and the city hall building that shocked many people for the first time.
He took out ten yuan to pay for the taxi and claimed that he didn''t have to change it. In the driver''s nice words, he closed the door.
Yes, he can feel that as long as in this city, no matter where he stands and what he is doing, every local people will treat him sincerely as a "noble master". This is a miracle city. In such a city, Kevin is willing to spend every money in his pocket in order to continue to enjoy the wonderful feeling of thousands of people.
Magical and terrible.
He walked into the city hall with his crutch on his back. Under the reception of the staff, he pushed open the door of Dooling''s office. He walked in with his head up, hung his hat and clothes on the hanger, walked slowly to Turin''s desk, stood there and looked at Turin.
After they looked at each other for a while, Kevin said in a deep voice, "Hey, man, do you think it''s better for me to run for the Minister of justice, or for the lifetime justice of the imperial Supreme Court?"
This seems like a joke, but it makes Dulin think seriously. He pursed his mouth and pointed to the chair next to Kevin, "Chief justice, you can''t do it unless you are willing to serve as a judge of the city court in Otis, and then compete for that position with about seven or eight old people with the same qualifications as you or even better looking than you in about twenty or thirty years."
This sentence is not to deceive Kevin. Kevin himself is a lawyer and knows a lot about the judicial system. Judges basically go step by step from the grass-roots level, which takes a long time, and there is another standard - judgment rate. In short, a judge needs to try more than 3000 cases from the bottom to the upper level, including both plaintiffs and defendants The approved referee result should be more than 80%.
In other words, you can''t take over more than two of the ten cases. Someone will continue to appeal after the referee, and then continue to expand according to this proportion. Even if you can hear ten cases a day in the state or even the Ministry, I''m afraid there won''t be so many cases for you to try.
After a long time waiting for the indicators to be qualified, we have to wait until the current chief justice retires before we have a chance to compete. If we fail, we are almost old and kill each other. I''m afraid we are almost the same.
"The Minister of justice, how long do you think it will take if I work in this direction?" he shrugged. "I don''t know enough about politics. Give me a number that makes me happy."
Du Lin put down his pen, took out a box of cigarettes, took one of them and threw it on the table. The two old cigarette guns immediately began to swallow clouds and smoke.
Pouring out a mouthful of smoke, durin said with a 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 MARGES. Generally speaking, we will not disgust the prime minister in this regard, nor will we disagree with the prime minister.
There are two reasons. First, if people in the old party raise objections, the old party will not be in power in the future? Once they are in power, I''m afraid the new party will retaliate and make trouble for them. Instead of disgusting others and waiting for others to disgust themselves, it''s better to let go of this kind of thing. Second, even if someone suddenly rises and gets a position that should belong to others, it will be difficult for them It''s meaningless.
Because the whole cabinet is like a machine, but you are not the supporting parts in this machine. You can''t get the role of overall bonus, and there will be a lot of trouble at work. If you are not careful, you will be impeached, and finally you can only resign on your own initiative.
So there is no problem with what durin said. As long as he can become prime minister, naming Kevin as Minister of justice is just a one sentence thing.
"It makes me feel like I''m under your control. It''s too bad. This feeling!" Kevin habitually complains. He will only do this when he is with Turin. "Shall I call you boss or your name? You won''t embarrass me when I take office because I don''t call you boss?"
"We are friends, Kevin. For friends, I will show my sincerity. I''m sad to hear you say that."
"But why do you laugh? Shouldn''t you cry when you are sad?"
They looked at each other and smiled, and the laughter gradually burst out.
After laughing for a while, Du Lin stopped his voice, "if you''re not kidding, you can work under me first and mix up your qualifications. Next year to the next year, I may change a place, and then I''ll recommend you to MARGES."
Kevin was stunned. "Change places? Why change places? Isn''t it good here?". In Kevin''s opinion, Otis has the potential to take off. Once the city becomes a new model, Turin is likely to cross a step and jump forward.
A confident smile appeared on Du Lin''s face. Dongsheng''s sunshine penetrated the glass and shone on him, making him look irresistible. "Life is short and long. I just chose my favorite way, that''s all."
