Chapter 207: stand up for justice

  Chapter 207 Stand up for justice

  Tommy rested his head comfortably on the legs of his lawyer, visiting professor at Stanford Law School, partner at Davis Polk LLP, and old mistress Delia Case.

"So, just after Otilia left, you couldn't wait for me to come over to give you some maternal care. Did you become stronger because of keeping fit?" Delia, who was dressed in a lady's suit, gently grabbed He stroked Tommy's hair, and asked with a smile: "Speaking of which, I've always wondered, is it because of your mother's departure that you prefer to get along with women who are slightly older than you? Otilia, Sophia, Susan... it seems like all the girls around you are older than you."

   "Maybe, after all, what is missing in your heart is what you want to get." Tommy raised his palm and gently stroked Delia's face: "So, what is missing in your heart, what do you desire?"

  Delia threw away the palm that caused her itching face: "If you had spent half of the resources supporting Hillary in the past two years, I would have already become a senior partner of Davis Polk & Associates."

"That woman tried to get Otilia to convince me to arrange for her to replace you, and served as the legal director of EFF at least four times, but I rejected them without any hesitation, and now you suspect that I support her more than you? Remember, I said we were family and she wasn't."

Hearing Tommy's words, Delia laughed. She remembered the past when she voluntarily refunded the reward paid by this guy, and was sold to Stanford by him and forced to become a Stanford family. After enjoying Tommy's sacrifice for so long, if one day he has to pay the bills...

Tommy has never been a generous person. This guy always keeps in mind the words of his life mentor Benjamin Benson. Every piece of gold is marked with a price, but the price tag is hidden and will only be displayed when the owner of the gold needs it. come out.

No one can guess what is going on in this guy's head, and no one knows when this guy will show the gold price tag, even if Delia thinks she is very familiar with Tommy, and Tommy laughs and calls her a family. clear.

  Maybe the only ones who can know his thoughts are Jim Manzi and Benjamin Benson. Delia knows that those two are the people Tommy really trusts and relies on.

   "But why did you make me prepare to hand over the work of EFF?" Delia asked afterward.

"Benjamin and Jason, they have been full of praise for your EFF work for so long. They said that they tried to create various opportunities for you, but because those big companies have their own families, they have not been able to find enough for you for the time being. You have the opportunity to be promoted to the senior partner of your firm." Tommy sat up from the sofa after enjoying Delia's scalp massage for a while, and took a cherry from the fruit plate on the coffee table and put it into his mouth:

   "So I think, you can't always help Jason, Benjamin and the others work hard, but because of their laziness or passivity, you can't get a reasonable return. Moreover, you must return to your family and me after all."

Delia sat with her legs covered in stockings stacked, adjusted her sitting posture, and moved her sore leg muscles and said: "The Lotus case made me a legal expert in laws related to the computer industry. If I leave EFF, leave The field I am familiar with, Tommy, I may not be that important to you, of course, I am not rejecting you, I just made it clear in advance."

Delia is now able to thrive in the computer industry in California, and even moved her private office from Washington to Silicon Valley, mainly due to her deep participation in the Actor and Lotus case and the introduction of subsequent related laws. If Tommy hadn’t Any plan to call her in would probably not be as effective as Tommy going to a lawyer with more experience in television-related law.

   "I know that once people leave a comfortable and comfortable environment, people will always panic subconsciously." Tommy swallowed the cherry and picked up another grape:

"Actually, Benjamin helped VOX find a group of new recruits from New York. The preparatory period has ended. VOX's follow-up is all about operations management. Wolfe, who focuses on program quality, lacks the vision and skills of a large company manager. , he can’t do these jobs, so VOX will usher in a personnel adjustment. Originally, both Jim and Benjamin wanted you to join the board of directors of VOX, but I thought for a long time and rejected their suggestions. I want to hear their opinions on your future. Planning proposals for development?"

   "Benjamin and Jim have their own legal counsel, and we rarely talk about topics that are not related to work." Delia said.

Tommy peeled the skin of the grape slowly: "They want you to join VOX. As VOX continues to grow, you will naturally become a senior partner, and then rely on VOX's high exposure to help you attract those politicians to reach cooperation. Slowly look for opportunities, it is best to help you find a position related to computer and Internet industry legislation in a certain government. After you take office, you can just use energy to feed back and protect those companies we have deployed in the computer industry in the Internet age. , and by then, you’re a newcomer to the revolving door club of America’s networking industry.”

  Delia opened her mouth slightly subconsciously. Just hearing Tommy's understatement, she felt that Jim and Benjamin's proposal was too attractive, and there was absolutely no reason to refuse it.

   Every American lawyer who wants to hit the senior partner of a well-known firm, isn’t the ultimate goal to hit that revolving door?

  If you advance, you will be above ten thousand people, if you retreat, you will be rich and rival the country.

  Tommy sent the peeled grapes into Delia's slightly opened mouth, and gently smeared the juice stained on his fingers on the other's rosy lips:

  "Benjamin and Jim's proposal is of course good, and it will come to fruition, but I don't think so. The eating is too explicit, and it is not suitable for a woman with a strong sense of justice like you. I want you to continue to return to the office and devote yourself to your own work."

"Are you planning to arrange another person? Earl Rush? That black lawyer?" Delia, who had just licked off the liquid from her lips, shrank slightly when Tommy rejected Jim and Benjamin's proposal. Some dissatisfaction.

  The two of them planned a perfect development path for her, but this guy actually refused? Not only to pull her out of EFF, but also let her continue to return to the firm to engage in high-intensity litigation work?

"Of course not. Earl is not my family. He is black. His function is to wait for the most glorious moment in his life, and then quickly disappear." Tommy's finger slowly moved down from Delia's lips, sliding over her clean chin:

   "You are different, I want everyone to see your sense of justice."

  Delia sighed: "Say it straight, Tommy, did you find another weakness in your opponent, let me find a chance to bite it, and I will help you solve the opponent, so you agree to Benjamin and Jim's suggestion."

"Susan needs the help of a lawyer with a sense of justice. There are several actresses who have signed contracts with her. They have worked for the 20th Century Fox Film Company before and have been raped by Fox executives. You know, Susan is from the bottom. The girl who crawled out, she felt the same for those girls, so she decided to bear all the legal costs of those girls, and fight Fox Films to the end, she once said to me very seriously, her agency and Fox Films, in Hollywood, two Only one can live." Tommy said righteously to Delia:

"And I, as an American man, after hearing the news, of course I couldn't sit idly by, so I chose to stand on the side of justice! After all, I can't just watch an old Australian guy's film company unscrupulously put us in the United States. The sweethearts and beauties are ruined as cheap prostitutes! I have to pay 700,000 yuan to sleep with a female star, how can they not use it...Forget it, the topic is a bit far away, let’s go back to the point.”

Speaking of Fox, Tommy's face was full of anger, and he couldn't help telling the more angry experience, why the executives of Fox Film Company slept with female stars for no money, but he had to spend 700,000 yuan like a fool ?

After adjusting his emotions, Tommy continued: "Back to the issue of Fox, not only the film company, there are many fake news reports on Fox TV. In this regard, I can ask Earl to provide you with a lot of victim information. He has been silent Collect relevant information. In short, Murdoch is simply a malignant tumor entrenched in the United States. We cannot just watch him ruin the great image of the United States. We must drive him out of the United States. what Americans should do.”

  Delia heard that Tommy was full of words for justice and America, and she knew that this guy was going to do dirty things again. She made a gesture of resting her forehead with her hand:

   "Under the banner of justice again? Can't you change your tactics?"

   "The U.S. government told me not to change the tricks if they work well. It has been doing this all the time. As its citizen, why should I change the tricks?" Tommy patted Delia on the shoulder with a serious expression:

   "And I can swear to God in front of everyone, I am really for the United States, for justice, and definitely not because of targeting Fox assets."

   "You said the same thing when you dealt with Lotus last time." Delia looked at Tommy speechlessly, and finally lowered her head and said helplessly.

Tommy took out a coin: "After the business is over, guess whether you will move or I will move. I hope it is you. After all, I just separated from Otilia for two hours. I hope you will give me some tolerance and understanding." .”

   "Seeing that I'm about to fight for justice again, if you still dare to let me take the initiative, I'll break your club." Delia said angrily.

  Tommy put away the coin resentfully: "Well, if you don't toss the coin this time, you win, and I am willing to stand up for justice."

"You bastard, Tommy." Delia scolded with a smile: "So, when are you going to start your righteous action? By the way, let's talk about an issue that shouldn't be my concern. I don't think that simply splashing dirty water is enough to strike a blow." Destroy FOX."

"Of course I know that justice alone is not enough to defeat evil, so we need to unite all righteous Americans, so when it starts depends on Wolfe's preparation speed, but don't worry, Wolfe is familiar with this kind of thing, He already has very, very rich experience in the pre-production preparations for TV networks. When I finish working on you, I will call him and ask him to contact the staff arranged by Benjamin Benson for the handover of work, and devote himself to the new preparations. " Tommy reached out and unbuttoned Delia's suit jacket, and said slowly:

   "Even if Wolfe is not around, I will swear to God that this preparatory work will definitely be the last of my poor black friend with all the good qualities of his ancestors."
