Mystery: Shadow of Order Chapter 105

"Some companies in which Earl Hall participated, such as the Constant Coal and Steel Consortium, the East Chester Railway Company, and the Baker Lancer Investment Bank, etc., the shareholders and directors of these companies have been holding frequent banquets and dances recently.

There were more than a dozen land nobles among the participants of the banquet, but they were not the same as those who participated in the bank. However, it was reported that they had reached a preliminary agreement at the banquet, agreeing that the landed nobles would invest in the company, but the two parties had not yet reached an agreement on the specific share. "

The butler, August, was wearing a black sun dress, his gray hair was neatly combed, his hands were naturally lowered, and he stood up straight. In addition to his accent, he also had a hint of Hai County. He was very much in line with the requirements of a noble housekeeper.

Today's Backlund ushered in a rare sunny day, the wind blew away the haze, the sun hung high in the air, and on the reclining chair on the balcony, Rawls' eyes were half-closed, quietly enjoying this moment of peace.

Earl Hall's actions were within Rawls' expectations. Although he brought some landed nobles into the New Party's industry, it was absolutely impossible for these nobles to be linked together.

Even the Marquis who appeared on the list only took shares in two banks, and maybe not even a fraction of Earl Hall's.

It is not so much that the New Party gave in, it is more that it lost its bones to the Conservative Party. Its core interests have not been damaged at all, but this has already caused many Conservative Party-leaning aristocrats to fight hard.

With this transaction, how long can the nobles who depend on the land to live on?

It's a matter of time before we fall to the New Party!

"I see, you go and book a ticket to Stour the day after tomorrow." Stoun is the capital of East Chester County.

"Sir, are you going to Ston the day after tomorrow?"

The housekeeper Augst looked surprised. He was Rawls' housekeeper. In theory, he had to be clear about all of Rawls's schedules, and he had to discuss any arrangements with his housekeeper.

This is a tacit agreement or an unwritten agreement between the employer and the housekeeper, and it is very important for the entire family or clan to keep running.

Of course, it is possible for the owner to temporarily change the itinerary in an emergency, but it is rare for Rawls to directly overturn his itinerary without any reason. This is not good for the master-servant relationship, but it will also affect Rawls's reputation, and it will offend many people who have already agreed with Rawls to meet and attend the party.

"Do you have something urgent to deal with?"

"No, I'm going to visit a local law firm in Stone and recruit a group of lawyers."

Butler August frowned and persuaded:

"Sir, I want to remind you that you have several banquets to attend next week, especially on Thursday afternoon, when you have an appointment for afternoon tea with Lord Philip Negan."

"I know that I will come to the door tomorrow to apologize. Except for Lord Philip, you will send the business cards for me today."

The housekeeper Augst was completely confused. He was very aware of Rawls's passion for politics and therefore hired him as his housekeeper.

After two or three months of hard work, Rawls finally entered the eyes of the Conservative Party bosses with the Werther Gold case, and even got into a relationship with Lord Philip, the son of Duke Negan.

And now, when it was time to stabilize the relationship, Rawls gave up when he said he gave up?

As a steward, even a steward with another purpose, August has the duty to dissuade him. He carefully considered his language:

"Sir, you need to know..."

"I know what you're going to say." Interrupting Augst's dissuasion, Rawls got up from the reclining chair and couldn't let Augst continue to speak, otherwise a "lawyer" was persuaded by an ordinary person, yes Doubtful, "Lord Philip and I will be rebuilding Hillston Police Station, so don't worry about me being forgotten.

But it is more important for them to remember that I am the owner of Adrian Law Firm than to let them remember that I am just a barrister. In their eyes, a barrister is unimportant, not even a royal barrister.

Only the owner of a large law firm can be valued by them. This is the identity I need them to remember. "

Rawls' opponent in the Werther Gold case is John Mueller, who has practiced for more than 30 years, the Royal Barrister, so what?

"Then why don't you take Morris?"

Rawls said angrily:

"I'm on an inspection tour, not a vacation. I haven't been able to serve people everywhere."

Morris was going, how could he sneak back quietly.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk"

"Please come in."

Rawls pushed open the door and entered, smiling all over his face:

"Uncle Robert, it's me, Rawls."

Sitting behind the desk, Edmund Robert, who was looking at a document with his monocular, didn't look up, didn't say a word, didn't pay any attention to Rawls.

With an embarrassed smile on his face, Rawls moved a chair and sat directly opposite Edmund's desk, leaning forward, folded his hands to support his chin, didn't speak, just stared at the document in Edmund's hand.

It was an application list for trainee lawyers. Rawls rubbed his chin with his thumbs. It was the beginning of July, and this year's new batch of trainees at the Law School was coming.

Most schools in the Loen Kingdom have three vacations a year, from December to January, April, July to September. These three vacations correspond to the Evernight Goddess, the God of Steam and Machinery, and the God of Storms. Important period of the three gods of the Lord.

Most schools also start their semesters in mid-to-late September each year, and this group of lawyer interns from the Fourth Academy is now looking for an internship law firm.

"Uncle Robert, why do I think this place seems to be full of interns from Backlund's three major law schools? What about Lincoln College?"

Edmund looked up at Rawls, put the monocular on the table, and said angrily:

"It's not because of your agreement with Lincoln College to recruit 10 interns from their college each year. But for balance, and for our firm not to be targeted, I have to recruit more than a dozen interns from the three colleges every year. .

Rawls, you must know that many barristers are reluctant to bring interns, and we recruit more than 20 trainee lawyers every year, and the firm's staff is simply not enough. "

"So, I plan to recruit some barristers."

Seeing that Edmund finally answered, Rawls took advantage of the situation and put forward his own ideas.

Edmund rubbed his brows and felt that this was not bad, so he saved himself from wasting energy here:

"Where are you going to recruit? Backlund is so big, those firms won't let people go easily."

"Ston."

"Why?" Edmund's thin face showed a puzzled look. Although Stonne was the capital of East Chester County, it was still a local area, and there was a certain gap between him and Backlund's barrister.

In order to sneak back to play, Rawls thought for a long time yesterday before he thought of leaving Backlund under this name.

"I plan to recruit a group of well-known barristers from Stoin. Although there is a certain gap between them and Backlund's barristers, they are not particularly large, especially in terms of bringing in trainee lawyers, you can also learn while taking them. .

Moreover, I intend to take this opportunity to push forward the legal partnership plan and distribute some of the firm's shares to several senior counsel.

After the senior lawyers in the firm get their shares, there must be many lawyers in Backlund who want to join our firm. Together with the recruited Stone's barristers, at least three levels can be formed.

In this way, from trainee lawyers to senior counsel with shares, there are always five or six levels, so that they have the motivation to continue to work hard. "

Edmund kept rubbing his temples while Rawls told his thoughts, looking at the lawyer-partner plan that Rawls had written earlier, and when Rawls finished speaking, he leaned back in his chair and looked for a long time. Take a breath:

"When are you going to go to Ston?"

"Uh...ah" Rawls was stunned for a moment, a little embarrassed, "The day after tomorrow."

"The day after tomorrow, huh, are you discussing this with me?" Edmund threw the partner plan on the table and looked at Rawls with a half-smile, "You have already made your plan, I What if you don't agree?"

Rawls showed a pleasing smile and said righteously:

"Negotiation, definitely negotiation."

Edmund breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the partnership plan, and shook it:

"Okay, you are the boss of this firm, and everything is up to you. I will make up your plan for you, but you have to be considerate of me, a nearly sixty-year-old old man, don't be me every time. To solve it for you, it is also time for you to find a suitable assistant to help you run the office."

Rawls began to panic a little. He had all the memories and emotions of getting along with Edmund. It was with Edmund that he could concentrate on doing what he wanted to do.

"Uncle Robert, if you don't want to, I can revise or cancel this plan. The firm was established by you and your father..."

"Okay." Edmund waved his hand with a kind smile on his face. "Your plan is very good, and I'm very satisfied. It's just that I just said that I'm almost sixty years old, if it weren't for Mason suddenly I passed away due to illness, and I have already lived in Dixi Bay. You must know that the weather in Backlund is not suitable for an old man like me, so you can't let me help you all the time, can you?"

"But…"

"Okay, do what you should do! I can still help you for a while."

Edmund waved his hand, but saw the strange expression on Rawls' face, he frowned and asked:

"What's the matter, is there anything else?"

Rawls was a little embarrassed and cleared his throat:

"Uncle Robert, I'm going to remove some of the funds from the firm's account. I don't have enough money. You know, the banquet costs too much. I only have more than a thousand pounds in my account."

"There is not much money in the firm's account. If you want your plan to be implemented, the account must be clean. I will call you how much you need. I still have five or six thousand pounds in my hand. No more."

"Uh, is this okay?" Rawls had the impression that he only took Edmund's money when he was a child.

Edmund stared at Rawls and pretended to be unhappy:

"Hmph, aren't you going to support me when I get old?"

"How come? I promised you."

"Then my property still needs to be in your hands. What's the difference between earlier and later? How much?"

Rawls had nothing to say. Edmund had a wife, but his wife passed away early and had no children, so he gave all his father's love to Rawls.

Raising a finger, Rawls whispered:

"1,000 pounds will do."

"I'll call your bank account when I get back. Is there anything else? Hurry up, I still have things to deal with."

Alas, it's obviously his own law firm, making him look like an outsider, but looking at the documents to be processed on the table, Rawls left the office witty.

After saying hello to a few familiar barristers who passed by, Rawls walked out of his office. As soon as he walked out of the office, Rawls began to sigh.

Okay now, originally I just wanted to find an excuse to go out, but the excuse was too perfect.

There are plans for Rawls to expand the size of the firm, and there are plans to recruit local barristers, but not now. Instead, they waited two months later, when the Tingen incident ended, and went to Tingen with Jurgen to discuss the matter with the head of Lincoln Law School, that is, the supervisor.

The barristers in Loen are often from Lincoln Law School~www.mtlnovel.com~ If you want to find a good barrister, it is naturally best to go to Tingen.

But I really don't have the guts to go to Tingen now. Ince Zangwill holds 0-08. As long as he steps into Tingen's range, the possibility of being arranged is too great.

And 0-08 is likely to be one of the deals between the goddess and Adam. He didn't have a crush on me, destroying the goddess's plan, and making you feel what is called "the queen of adversity and fear" in minutes.

Now Tingen can't go, and Uncle Robert is planning to implement a partnership plan, so Stoun's recruiting lawyers is a must.

Find a private detective and ask him to help him inquire about a relatively famous local lawyer in Stonne, and then go to Stonne to have a look when you are almost done playing the role.

In more than a month, the acting should make some progress. At that time, it happened to be when the clues of Hermothein's manuscript appeared, and I just stepped in again to see if I could gain something.

Although Uncle Robert can give himself money, it's not always a good idea to keep taking it, and it's not easy to make up excuses!

"Go to Hillston Police Station."

Rawls boarded his carriage and told the driver of his next destination. During this time, Lord Philip should be at Hillston Police Station.

Since speaking with Lord Philip on Friday, the duke's son has been following the plan agreed upon by the two.

Originally, Monday was the time when he officially took office. But yesterday he had already moved into the Hillston Police Station and directly arrested a senior superintendent for dereliction of duty and accepting bribes.

With Duke Negan's backing, no one dared to say anything about it. What's more, although they didn't know the saying that the new official took office as the three fires, the truth was the same.

Most importantly, Hillston Police Station has been abandoned by the New Party.
