Chapter 287 SHP

"You can always think of some little tricks on how to make women more attracted to you." Taking advantage of the recording of the TV camera, the host of this event was introducing to more than 20 women the many dogs having fun on the sports field in the distance. At this time, Delia slowly approached Tommy, who seemed to have nothing to do with everything in front of him. He was like an outsider, looking forward, with a decent smile on his face, and spoke softly.

She had known this **** since he was a student at Stanford, but after all this time, she still felt that Tommy's image in front of her was hazy. Even if she was close at hand, she could not really see the blond young man clearly.

Tommy took the initiative to call Susan and asked how many women were willing to come forward after being hurt. He then carefully wrote down the number of people. After some time, he told Susan that he was going to jointly launch a foundation with others. .

Then he asked Susan and her to take the girls to the Marshall Country Club to relax. He had asked Otilia to contact the best psychologists in the name of the foundation and formulated a plan to cure the fear and anxiety of the victim women. of adjuvant therapy.

Hearing Delia's words in his ear, Tommy looked at the dogs in the distance who were guided by the dog trainers and cautiously approached the ladies present, and said: "My mother once said, God walks in the world. , not to cheer for the people, but to come for salvation.”

After hearing Tommy's words, Delia was silent for a moment, and then sighed softly: "Your mother must regret teaching you these things. She hopes to use these words to influence you to become a kind lamb, rather than using these words her mother said. A **** who incites others."

The host of today's event at Marshall Country Club squatted down, stroking a gray-white hound with one hand, holding a microphone in the other hand, and introduced to the women who were surprised and delighted by the dogs' affectionate gestures: "Ladies, I solemnly Let me introduce, these dogs in front of me are all athletes from Australian greyhound racing, no, they are retired athletes. Please feel free to reach out and say hello to them. Don’t worry, each of them has been carefully trained by the dog trainer. Mild, intelligent and well-behaved.”

“I have learned about the very unfortunate experiences of all the ladies through the introduction of Ms. Susan Curtis. I deeply sympathize with this, and I admire your courage to speak out in public about your past painful experiences.”

"But please don't worry, today we are not asking you ladies to recall embarrassing and tragic past events. Instead, top psychology experts from Stanford University, University of Southern California and other universities in the United States have been invited by the SheHerdPower Foundation to specially prepare a product called Human Today is a therapeutic experience with the auxiliary therapy of Pet Two-way Redemption Therapy. The purpose is to help all ladies get out of the haze as soon as possible."

"Every dog ​​you are petting right now comes from Australia and was rescued by the Australian Animal Welfare Association, the California Chapter of the American Society for the Protection of Animals, and the SheHerdPower Foundation after going through untold hardships and overcoming many obstacles. You may not know , why I use the word rescue, I need to explain this, in fact, every dog ​​present at this moment is a greyhound, which is a very fast dog. In Australia, they are bred by people. They are used to hold various competitions, such as rabbit hunting or racing. Each of them has won countless prizes and medals for their previous owners. The owners will also treat them as treasures and prepare expensive dog food and various maintenance drugs for them. , dedicated veterinarians or even dentists, until it is injured during the game. In Australia, if a dog is injured and can no longer bring honor to its owner, it may not even survive before the audience leaves the audience. It may be beaten by the owner with a wooden stick as soon as it returns to the backstage. Smash your head, end your life.”

Hearing the last words of the host, the women present couldn't help but exclaimed as they withdrew their palms from stroking the dogs. They carefully observed the dogs around them at this moment, lest they might use a little force. Petting or looking too fierce will frighten them.

“Perhaps some ladies will say that a dog’s injury can be treated. That’s true, but in the eyes of Australians, spending a lot of money to treat its injuries will not bring it back to its previous peak level, so why not buy a new one? What about hounds? Anyway, they are just tools for making money. It is more in the interests of those people to throw them away after use. The normal life span of greyhounds is as long as 14 years, but of these dogs in front of us, the oldest is three years old and the youngest is only one year and nine months. , due to long-term use of hormonal drugs, their lifespan is only about eight years, which is roughly equivalent to humans dying at the age of forty. The reason why their lifespan is six years shorter than that of their peers is so cruel, because they are better than their peers."

"It's not easy to save these dogs. The SheHerdPower Foundation pays Australian butchers more than a new racing dog to put down the butcher's knife, hand the dogs over to volunteers, and arrange for veterinarians to treat their injuries. , and then shipped to the United States, and hired dog trainers to teach them how to communicate with humans normally. They are very smart, and each one can now understand at least thirty words. However, when we rescued them, they could only understand the word "Go". "

“I think of this, all ladies should also have a general understanding of this auxiliary therapy. Yes, you can adopt a dog and take care of it when it has been hurt, or conversely, let it heal you who have been in pain.”

“The SheHerdPower Foundation promises that all the dog’s living expenses, including dog food, regular veterinary check-ups and even chewing gum, will be paid for by the foundation. You don’t need to prepare anything, you just need to choose a dog and let it accompany you. I will embrace you, and then you will spend a warm and non-lonely journey of psychotherapy together.”

"Finally, please allow me to solemnly introduce to you the SheHerdPower Foundation, or SHP, which provides legal assistance to save these dogs. It is led by Ms. Susan Curtis, CEO of Pathfinder Agency, Stanford University Politics A public welfare organization focusing on women initiated by Professor Condoleezza Rice, well-known legal expert, female social activist Otilia Farrell, well-known Washington news photographer Tipper Gore and others The charity foundation is committed to promoting the elimination of gender discrimination and violence in society, encouraging and helping injured women to step out of the shadows, and helping them gain the dignity and fairness that their lives deserve."

“All the funds for the two-way auxiliary therapy of Renpet that you are participating in this time are provided by Mr. Tommy Hawke, a well-known alumnus of Stanford University, Mr. Stephen Bean, a well-known investor in California, Mr. Ted Turner, the founder of Turner Television Network, Mr. Steve Ross, President of Warner Pictures, donated to the SHP Foundation."

In front of the camera, the women squatted down and hugged the dogs, smiling brightly in the sunshine.

Delia smiled and said to Tommy: "I can't believe that a person like Turner would donate money to injured dogs in Australia. How did you convince him? As far as I know, he is more willing to use money to save American bison. "

"I didn't convince him, I just told him that there are more than a dozen popular greyhound racing newspapers in Australia owned by Murdoch, and Murdoch himself also likes to bet on greyhound racing. He once raised seventeen greyhounds. What a pity. We didn't save any of them, but we didn't find anything. Animal protection volunteers secretly filmed the scene of one of the injured hounds owned by Murdoch being injected to death. Although Murdoch didn't do it himself, but...who the **** cares about the execution? Whoever it is, it’s enough that the dog belongs to him." Tommy said with a smile. Delia nodded understandingly after hearing this: "So Turner agreed to take out the money. Yes, he couldn't calm down after hearing Murdoch."

"In addition to taking out the money, Mr. Turner is also preparing to premiere it on his TV network. The broadcast arrangement is like this. First, it will show Stalin killing people for ten minutes, and then show Murdoch killing dogs for ten minutes." Tommy recalled the old Turner After hearing what he said, he looked so excited that he could have a heart attack at any time, and said:

"The last ten minutes show how we Americans worked so hard to save Australia's dogs, women and pets from dire straits, just like landing on Omaha Beach. In psychology, it is easy for men to have a strong desire for conquest and sympathy. Biology, right now, Murdoch is hurting both groups in America."

While the ladies were playing with the dogs and cultivating their feelings, Susan also walked up to Tommy and looked at Tommy with worried eyes: "Are you okay?"

"Of course, why do you think I'm in a bad situation?" Tommy asked with a smile.

Susan stood side by side with him, looking at the scenery under the bright sunshine in the distance: "I thought about it for a long time and thought of a question, Tommy."

"Susie's treatment for you seems useless, Susan, your political science professor didn't teach you, don't always do some ineffective strategic thinking that is not in line with your height." Tommy responded speechlessly.

He doesn't like the feeling of being cared about by others, especially when someone who is not as good as him cares about him. He can understand that Susan's concern is definitely sincere, but for him, this kind of concern is an invalid emotion, because he knows that the other party must have noticed it again. I want to remind myself of any major mistakes.

"Even if you really succeed, the three major television networks, Turner, and Steve Ross will be more qualified to receive Fox assets than you. If you compete with them for the fruits of victory, you will be the second Murdoch in their eyes. They will target you. If you give in, you have been arranging it for so long and the gains are not worth the losses. You will not be willing to do so." Susan ignored Tommy's speechless expression and said seriously: "I only learned the first thing in political science. The higher the angle of standing, the greedier people will become, do you want to keep biting like this?"

Tommy rolled his eyes, took out his wallet, counted out a few bills and handed them to Susan: "You are the first and only woman around me who allows me to take out my wallet and pay. Susan, don't refuse. Take it and go find Susie for a few treatments.”

"I'm being pretentious again, right?" When Susan saw Tommy's actions, she lost her worries. She smiled and took the banknotes and put them in her pocket. She didn't care whether Tommy disliked her attitude. She wanted to see this scene even more, that is, her young godfather would always look one step ahead of her. He had already figured out the problem she had thought about for a long time.

“Is there no one you can trust to help you share some of your work?” Delia couldn’t help but ask Tommy when she saw Tommy passing the banknotes to Susan and teasing the other person’s kindness.

The smarter and harder people work around this bastard, the more they will find that Tommy is actually a **** who seriously lacks trust in his friends, such as Jason, Susan and Delia.

Often they want to tell Tommy that he can trust them, that they can help him share the burden, no matter what he is going to do. When these words are heard, this **** will turn a deaf ear and will never say a word more. He only needs you to follow his arrangements. Just do it. As for discovering possible problems and telling him how to prevent them, he will tell them like handing Susan money to treat her brain. That is not a problem you should consider.

On the contrary, people like Sophia, Otilia and Martin have completely different images of Tommy. In their eyes, Tommy Hawke is definitely the most trustworthy person in America and is willing to help others. Many times they think about problems. If there are any shortcomings, Tommy will take the initiative to speak up and remind them like a best friend. He will not ridicule, but only encourage them.

Looking at the two women Sofia and Otilia, you will know how terrible Tommy's brainwashing is. One helps Tommy take care of his money bag, and the other works hard to help Tommy mend his shiny coat.

“It’s not that there is nothing, it’s that you are not worthy yet.” Tommy lowered his head and lit a cigarette, then took out a puff and looked at Delia:

"Think about it, the most basic question is, you are women, you have been dealing with those victims for so long, but you even have the idea of ​​setting up a foundation to help these victims get out of the haze of life. You need me, an absolutely macho man in your eyes. Why do you think you can share my work when a jingoistic **** designs it?”
