Chapter 400: Taking stock of harvest, the reason why Lacey is short of money

 Special Investigation Team, office area.

Luo An left the team leader’s office, answered the landline phone, and found that the person on the other side was John Rodriguez (Chapter 384)

Under Luo An’s introduction, the other party successfully met with Mr. Clement from the FBI headquarters in Washington, DC.

Luo An didn't know exactly what the two talked about or what conditions they exchanged, but when he heard John's hearty laughter on the phone, Luo An knew that this trip to the other party was definitely not in vain.

 “Congratulations, President John.”

 Luo An chuckled. In the country of the Federation, the connection between businessmen and politicians is far closer than ordinary people imagine. The two help each other and restrain each other.

In the past, when John Rodriguez was working in the CIA, Clement didn't have to meet him, but now that John has become the president of the Muller Group, there is a lot more maneuverability, and Clement Sir, he wouldn't mind solving some minor CIA problems for John.

Hearing what Luo An said, John Rodriguez on the other end of the phone laughed loudly and said a few words of modesty. After chatting with Luo An for a while, he finally revealed the purpose of his call:

John and John’s wife, as well as their daughter Carla, reserved a table at a French restaurant in Los Angeles on the weekend and wanted to invite Roan to have a casual dinner.

"no problem."

Luo An thought about it and immediately figured out that the other party's purpose was to have a relationship with him. Luo An happened to also think of something that the other party could help with, so he smiled and nodded and agreed.

After continuing to chat for a while, the two hung up the phone. John, who was far away, immediately called his wife with a smile on his face to explain the situation. Luo An turned around and returned to his team leader's office. He still had some unfinished work.

While dealing with the work, Luo An also calculated the gains during this period.

　　Starting from the [Hollywood tycoon shot case] to the [Judge Hotel Sports Murder Case] ​​which was handled a few days ago, Luo An handled a total of 4 cases during this period.

Each case was solved and there was a bonus of US$2,000. In two of the cases, the bonus was doubled afterwards. In addition to the salary of US$1,000 per week, Luo An's basic income during this period was US$16,000.

After the [Hollywood tycoon shot case] was solved, the father of the 18-year-old female killer Lacosa O'Dell (Chapter 337), 86-year-old "oldmoney" Puranna O'Dell, donated $1 million to the Special Investigation Team , and "purchased" $4 million worth of stocks in Luo An.

The $1 million has been divided equally among the other three people in the special investigation team. Luo An received 250,000. Adding the 4 million, Luo An gained a total of 4.25 million U.S. dollars in this case.

In the next [Case of Missing Girls in Villa Area], John Rodriguez donated 1 million US dollars to the Special Investigation Team. According to past situations, the four members of the Special Investigation Team once again shared the money equally. In addition, John also donated Luo An was given a personal thank you payment of US$3 million and a reward of US$2 million for helping to meet Mr. Clement.

[Los Angeles Assembly Speaker Physical Secession Case], the smuggling case encountered in the middle, the special investigation team received a total of 2.23 million US dollars. Five other new agents participated in this case to assist, so the money was also given to Luo An afterwards. They divided a small part, and most of the rest was merged into the special investigation team's case handling funds. The four Luo An only divided a small part.

  Adding up the gains during this period, Luo An’s accumulation reached 9.56 million US dollars.

  9 million US dollars of which was used by Luo An to buy Netflix stock, and the remaining 560,000 US dollars was set aside by him as a reserve fund for emergencies.

As for the [judge hotel movement was sniped] case that Luo An is currently dealing with, the post-event harvest from the companies that bought and sold illegal income could not be obtained within a year and a half, so Luo An chose to wait quietly.

　After taking care of his harvest, Luo An also simply distributed the portion that belonged to Mona, Michelle and Lacey.

Looking at the 506,000 US dollars that belonged to him in the folder, Michelle's eyes looked at Luo An with a bright light. Then there was never a shortage of water in Luo An's teacup. Except for the documents that Luo An had to handle himself, other documents It has never appeared on Luo An's desk.

When Mona saw this number, her breathing became rapid and her eyes widened with ripples. Luo An, who was familiar with Mona, could tell at a glance that she couldn't hold it in any longer, but this was the office area of ​​the Special Investigation Team after all. An had no choice but to give her a look, telling her to endure it until she got home in the evening.

When Lacey saw this number, she cheered and became excited again. The listlessness she usually felt when dealing with documents disappeared in an instant. She gave Luo An a big hug and waved her hand, taking Luo An for the next three months... one month. lunch. Luo An: “…”

Seeing the speechless expression on Luo An's face, Lacey chuckled, walked behind Luo An and massaged his shoulders, and explained with a smile:

 “You know, I am short of money.”

 Luo An turned around with doubts on his face:

 “What on earth are you doing? Why are you so short of money?”

　　Based on Lacey’s ridiculously low daily expenses, coupled with the gains she has gained from the Special Investigation Team for such a long time, Luo An judged that her gains combined must exceed one million.

 “Well...I plan to prepare more pension money for myself.”

Facing Luo An’s question, Lacey was silent for a few seconds and explained with a low smile:

“The chance that the federal court will support same-sex marriage is very low, and I don’t know what will happen in the future. There is a high chance that I will be alone until I grow old, so it is absolutely right to prepare more pension funds.

 I plan to save money to buy a house, buy a car, and buy some pension insurance. "

　　　…”

 Looking at Lacey, who was now making plans for retirement, Luo An licked his lips and said nothing.

He remembered that not long after 2005 in his previous life, several state courts in the federation passed bills allowing same-sex marriage. If Lacey wanted to marry a girl, she could go to that state at that time.

However, Luo An had no way to tell Lacey this kind of thing, and he couldn't say that he had the ability to predict the future, so he had no choice but to pat Lacey's arm to express his support for her. Living in the country of the Federation, saving money is always the most important thing. a good thing.

"Thanks."

Hearing that Luo An supported her, Lacey smiled and thanked her as usual, and her gratitude to Luo An increased even more in her heart.

 This is another reason why Lacey likes to stay in the Special Investigation Team and work under Luo An:

 Luo An does not discriminate against Lacey's orientation, and he has never shown any discrimination against Lacey in his speech or behavior. He has always treated Lacey as a normal person.

This is not easy. In 2005, the federation was still dominated by conservatism, not to mention the FBI, a law enforcement agency where conservative personnel accounted for the vast majority.

"You're welcome."

Roan smiled and replied. He had roughly understood Lacey's thoughts for a long time, and he didn't want to do anything specifically. He just let nature take its course, so he pointed to his left shoulder and said:

 “Go on, use a little more force here.”

 Lacie: “…”

The time soon came to get off work. Luo An and Mona played a game of poker on Friday night and stayed at home for a day off the next day. At 8:30 on Sunday night, Luo An drove Mona with him. They both accepted the invitation and went there. What John Rodriguez calls a high-end French restaurant.
