Chapter 14 14

"Hey, I've won a big case." The London doctor didn't even say a word of congratulations.But he also knows that this lawsuit is not an ordinary one, because I have mentioned this case in the previous conversations with him.Since he didn't say anything, I'll just have to go through the whole Channing v. Riverside Building case again.The Riverside Building is a high-end apartment building on East Side Avenue that can be sold separately. Channing's full name is Charles F. Channing Jr. He is the president of Chaoda Textile Group and a former Penn State University player who was selected for the All-American team. Varsity player, a well-known Republican, and a... black celebrity.He wanted to buy the luxurious top floor of the riverside building, but for some strange reason, the real estate company refused to sell it to him.For this reason, he asked a lawyer to file a lawsuit with them.He found us at Jonas & Marsh law firm.Old man Jonas turned the case over to me.

We won our case with little effort because instead of invoking the newly enacted open housing statutes — which are rather vague and open to ambiguity — we simply brought up Jones v. Meyer, which the High Court heard last year. One case (392 US409) as a basis.In its decision in the case, the court affirmed that under the Civil Rights Act of 1866, everyone has the freedom to purchase real estate.This is completely in line with the spirit of the first amendment to the Constitution, and there is nothing to say.The real estate company of the riverside building also lost nothing to say.It took only thirty days for my client to move into the new house.

① The so-called open housing in the United States refers to the prohibition of discrimination such as racial discrimination or religious discrimination in the sale and lease of housing. "This is the first time I have not only won a lawsuit for our firm, but also made a lot of money," I added after I finished. "Channing's a millionaire." But the London doctor remained silent. "Old man Jonas invited me to the restaurant at noon. Marsh—that other boss—also came to see me and had a cup of coffee together. Listening to their voices, it seems that they intend to invite me to buy shares..."

Still nothing.This guy, what should he say to make him tempted? "I'm going to get Marcy Nash tonight." aha!He couldn't help coughing. "Don't you want to know why I am doing this?" I completely forced him to answer. He replied calmly, "You like her." I laughed out loud.He didn't understand after all.I then told him that there was no other way than to find out the answer to the question.This method sounds a little too nasty (and a little too vicious), but if you want to find out the bottom line of the matter, you must get her.Once I've found out what Marcie's tricks are, I'll be honest, give her a scolding first, and then leave her and go to me, which will be my pleasure.

Now if a London doctor dares to come to me again and ask "how is it according to your imagination", I will definitely walk away. He didn't ask.He asked me to ask myself why I was so complacent.Why did I keep showing off myself when I talked today, showing off like a peacock?I have repeatedly boasted that I won a big lawsuit, is it intentional to divert attention?Is there something... that you can't let go of? what to say.What can't I let go of? She was just a girl after all. Could this be the problem? "Hey, I'm naked, Marcy." "What do you mean by that?"

"Your call is unlucky, I'm in the shower." "I'll call back later? You only have a routine once a month, so it's not good for me to disturb you." "Then don't worry about it," I ignored her and yelled at her. "Just tell me: where the hell are you right now?" "At White Plains Mall. Binningdale store." "Then you will wait outside the store in twenty minutes, and I will pick you up." "Oliver," she said, "you've come fifteen miles!" "No mistake," I casually replied. "Then I'll be there in fifteen minutes, just wait for me to pick you up."

"But Oliver, there is one little thing, please do me a favor." "What's the matter?" I asked her. "You must put on your clothes." One is due to the superior performance of my "Taga 911S", and the other is because I am quite creative in driving (I even clearly crossed the white line in the middle of the road - the police often just admire it, didn't bother to stop me), so twenty-seven minutes later, I whizzed into the mall. Sure enough, Marcy Nash was waiting (maybe just pretending?) where she had been told, with a bag of things in her hand.That figure seemed to be a little more beautiful than that night - even though it was already very beautiful that night.

She said "Hello".When I got out of the car, she came up and kissed me on the cheek.Then he stuffed the bag into my hand. "A little thought for you, firstly to suppress your anger, and secondly to comfort you. Ah, by the way, your car is not bad, I like it so much." "My car must like you too," I said. "Then let me drive." Heck, I can't let her drive my little Porsche.Never let her drive. ... "Next time, Marcy," I said. "Let me drive, I know the way," she said. "where to?" "Go where we're going. Please, please..."

"No, Marcie. It's too delicate." "What are you afraid of," she said and got into the driver's seat. "He is good at driving, so he can't deal with a little thing like you?" I have to admit that this style is really true.She drives like a Jackie Stewart.Jackie Stewart, on the other hand, could never fly through a sharp U-turn like Marcie did.To be honest, I do get chills sometimes.There were times when my heart almost jumped out. ①Famous Scottish racing driver.He won three world championships in 1969, 1971 and 1973. "Do you like it?" Marcy asked.

"Like what?" I said, pretending to be nonchalant and peeking at the speedometer on the dashboard. "A present for you," Marcy said. Ah, by the way, I completely forgot the words of consolation.I was still clutching the gift tightly in my sweaty hand, and I hadn't opened it to read it. "Hey, don't hold it so tightly—open it up and take a look." It turned out to be a black and soft cashmere sweater with the words Alfa Romeo embroidered on the chest, so bright red that it is not dazzling. ①A brand name of a precious Italian racing car. "It was designed by Emilio Ascarelli. He's the newest fashion genius in Italy."

There was no doubt that Marcy could afford such things, however expensive they were.But why did she buy it for me?I think it's probably because I feel a little sorry in my heart. "Oh, that's beautiful, Marcie. Thank you very much." "As long as you like it," she said.Part of my business is to try to figure out the taste of the public. " "Ah, I dare say you have ulterior motives." In order to add some effect to my witty remark, I deliberately gave a half-smile. "Who in the world isn't like that?" Marcie said, with such charm and grace. Maybe what she said was the truth? Someone may well ask: How dare I say with such certainty that I can get Miss Marcie Nash, since I have been a little uncertain for a while now? The reason is this: once the emotional factor is removed from this kind of thing, it will be easier to do it.I also know that the meaning of the word sex cannot be without emotion.But today, the act of making love has often become nothing more than a contest for each other to win.From this point of view, I want to use this method to deal with Marcy Nash, not only is it completely at ease, but to be honest, I am really eager to try it. However, I stared at the fair lady driving the car, and gradually I didn't even bother to peek at the dashboard, and I was reminded of many thoughts that came to me when I visited the doctor in London that day.Although this girl's whereabouts are surreptitious, even though I still show hostility towards her on the surface, is it possible that I like this girl a little bit in my heart?Could it be that I am bluffing and confusing myself in order to relieve the pressure in my heart? When I had sex with Gianni Cavilelli, it was really tender and considerate. Now that I have had such an experience, is it still possible to "split in two"?Is it possible to decompose the behavior of sex, so that there is sex but no intention? People can, and people do the same.I'd like to come and test it out. For as far as I am now, it seems to me that I can only do it without feeling a little emotion.
