America 1982

The full name of the American Teachers Union is the American Federation of Teachers. This membership union was established in Chicago in 1916. After decades of development, it has now become a behemoth with millions of members and branches in every city in the United States.

Like unions in other industries, teachers' unions will try their best to help members within the union strive for various benefits they deserve, put forward various demands, and provide some necessary consultation and guidance.

Of course, enjoying rights comes with a price, and in America, everything is a transaction.

Union members enjoy meticulous care, but the price they have to pay is to abandon their own political stance and leave the issue to the union to decide.

The American Teachers Union is a die-hard supporter of the Democratic Party in the United States, or to be more specific, today's top union leaders are die-hard supporters of the Democratic Party. In every election, the Teachers Union donates large amounts of political donations to the Democratic Party.

But for ordinary teachers in most rural cities, it doesn't matter which party comes to power. Anyway, those big figures will only win over the top leaders of the union, but will not travel to the countryside to listen to their voices.

As long as they can be guaranteed annual salary increases and can retire with a stable salary, it doesn't matter whether a donkey or an elephant rules this country, they are not fucking human beings anyway.

"Ms. Melonie Bianconi, as a senior lawyer at a law firm that your union has worked with for many years, I made it very clear to you last time. As far as we know so far, your private photos have not been widely leaked. In the public eye, and you say that the other party has deceived you into taking some addictive prescription drugs during the relationship, and there is lack of sufficient evidence, the only reason you can sue the other party is to accuse the other party of beating you without reason and blackmailing you. If If you plan to call the police for this reason, then I can transfer you to the police to intervene in the follow-up process, but you are worried that the other party will retaliate and publish all the photos to the public, which will damage your personal reputation, so I can't do anything." Legally. In the consulting room, Andy Nelson, a partner of the teachers union's contract firm, was wearing a suit and leather tie. His expression was full of sympathy, but he weakly extended his hand to Melonie, who was sitting opposite:

"Or are you willing to continue to sit across from me in silence, without saying a word, for twenty minutes?"

Teachers unions generally sign cooperation agreements with the best local law firms. Twice a week, the law firms send a group of lawyers to the union headquarters to provide corresponding legal consultation to union members, because this kind of consultation can no longer receive clients as normal. There is a time-based charging method, so the lawyers who provide consultations only give each consultee a twenty-minute quota.

Unless the consultation initiated by the teachers opposite can make the unions and lawyers sensitive to the opportunity to bite the governments at all levels and eat a large piece of oil and water, turning them into bloodthirsty vultures, otherwise most of the time, the law firm will ask in private Members resolve a consultant within five minutes and try to avoid wasting time on such ineffective consultations.

Problems like the one the beautiful woman named Melonie narrated at this moment made Andy Nelson have no desire to use his brain. If it were not in accordance with the contract with the teachers union, the law firm could not use all trainee lawyers to provide consultation. , there must be a partner-level lawyer present, so he would not rush over to listen to a woman talking about such trivial matters.

Her ex-boyfriend took photos of her many years ago, and now he is blackmailing her and beating her. The woman is worried that if she calls the police, her ex-boyfriend will spread the photos, which will ruin her reputation here and prevent her from entering any school.

Regarding this case, he had already given the other party a very clear answer last time. As long as she paid enough money and hired an elite lawyer like him to take over the case, she would be able to teach her ex-boyfriend a lesson, and the photos would be related to her. All negatives will also be recovered before the other party distributes them.

But the premise is that she needs to walk into the law firm instead of the teachers union. She needs to hand herself a check that can be withdrawn at any time with a denomination of no less than five hundred yuan as a consulting fee, instead of handing it to herself now. This trade union membership card is used to receive free legal advice.

"Sir, I...I don't want to call the police, because he has some...I know him, and he will definitely do that." Melonie sat opposite lawyer Andy, holding a coffee cup, and said emotionally.

Andy Nelson sighed and was about to use the bathroom as an excuse to kill this useless time. At this time, the door outside was pushed open and his assistant walked in from the outside: "Mr. Nelson, the office called and asked you to After the consultation on the union's side, we will ask the union management for information on a local teacher named Hugh Spade."

When Melonie heard the name Hugh Spade, her hands shook and the coffee cup fell to the floor. She apologized repeatedly and hurriedly turned over the tissues in her handbag to wipe away the coffee stains.

Andy Nelson looked at Melonie, who had an unusual expression, for a moment, then looked at his assistant and asked, "What happened?"

"This teacher named Hugh Spade illegally sold addictive prescription drugs, with a total of one hundred and fifty pills. In other words, he violated the Controlled Substances Act." The assistant looked at the call records recorded on his hand. , said to the boss.

Andy Nelson frowned and said dissatisfied: "What does this have to do with the firm? I said that the firm cannot accept all bad jobs. We are the best local law firm, not vendors on the street soliciting business. !”

"What the police have learned so far is that the prescription drugs in his hand flowed into Holy Cross High School, and our employer, the Holy Cross High School Parent Council, is extremely dissatisfied with this. They cannot deal with the person who purchased his drugs and distributed them to Holy Cross High School for free. I am an underage high school student, but I hope that this guy named Hugh Spade will be publicly executed to make potential drug dealers understand one thing. They can go to other garbage high schools to sell pills, but if they dare to go to Holy Cross High School, let them They know the difference between public schools and private schools." The assistant said with deep meaning: "This is the employer's request."

Andy Nelson glanced at Melonie, then pondered for a moment, and then nodded to the assistant: "Okay, I will go and find out the relevant situation. After all, the employer comes first."

The assistant agreed, walked out, and closed the door again.

When Melonie cleaned up the stain and redid it, Andy Nelson smiled: "Miss, do you know Hugh Spade? Or, he is your ex-boyfriend. I saw when you heard this name just now , the reaction was a little over the top.”

"..." Melonie opened her mouth, but in the end she just nodded slightly, looking a little scared.

Andy Nelson stared sharply at Melonie's expression. He knew the situation of the woman in front of him very well, but he always felt that the panic the woman showed towards her ex-boyfriend was a bit false. This was a professional intuition he had developed over many years as a lawyer. , this woman named Melonie is actually probably not afraid of her ex-boyfriend. Everything she showed at this time may make others believe that she is extremely afraid of her ex-boyfriend. For example, when she heard the other person's name, she was so scared that she dropped the coffee cup in her hand. Luo, this reaction is too exaggerated.

When France surrendered, the citizens of Paris were probably not intimidated by her appearance.

But it doesn't matter, whether she is true or false, it doesn't matter now. The lawyer doesn't care about the truth or falsehood, he only cares about whether he can help his employer solve the problem.

Andy Nelson's face changed from rigid to lively, and he showed a bright smile: "Miss, it seems that before I go to the union leader to understand the situation, I can definitely get to know Hugh Spade here. gentlemen."

"But, sir, my consultation time is coming soon." Melonie reminded Andy Nelson, showing her watch.

Andy Nelson stood up and made another cup of coffee for Melonie and put it in her hand. Then he sat back in his seat and said calmly:

"No, I have the right to extend the consultation time. As long as the lawyer feels the need, the consultation time can be extended indefinitely, so don't worry about the time, drink a cup of coffee to calm down, then recall it carefully and talk to me about his past. Even if it's the privacy you think is private, I can guarantee that if you tell me some information that interests me, I can help you get back the privacy that may be leaked at any time. I am a lawyer, a lawyer with professional ethics."

Melonie lowered her head and smiled to herself: "Do I look like someone who can afford to pay a big price for your professional ethics?"

Andy Nelson picked up the throat lozenges on the table, opened the package and threw one into his mouth to relieve the discomfort in his throat caused by talking a thousand words every day:

"Don't worry, miss, you should have heard just now that the wealthy people in the Holy Cross High School Parent Committee have paid the price for my professional ethics for you. I can help them solve the Hugh Spade problem and at the same time, I can help you get rid of it. Nightmare, I just need you to chat with me, all in order to satisfy the employer."
