Chapter 40 Daniel Walker.
For Lu Qi, the Hollywood sweetheart's stay was just a small episode in his life.
In a different place, maybe there is a big Hollywood star in the mobile phone address book...
After saying goodbye to the "troubling and talking" version of Elle Fanning, Lu Qi returned to his daily life again.
In the past few days in Los Santos, Lu Qi gradually discovered that this city is like a huge treasure house, there are many unexpected things waiting for him to dig.
He also liked the feeling of driving a convertible sports car around the orange city when the sun was setting.
However, I don't know if he was born with a physique to cause trouble, or if he was just too unlucky, he always encountered some unexpected situations...
. . .
In the evening, downtown Hollywood,
Lu Qi, who had an appointment with Franklin to meet at the gym, happened to meet the rush hour when he was traveling.
In a long line, the black Bevelte Sulei, which can reach a speed of 180 miles per hour, can only move forward little by little with the current.
Bored, Lu Qi turned on the car radio.
With the sound of "rustling" electric current, Lu Qi quickly found a channel to listen to:
"...Dear listeners, today's "Between Movies", the program invited the recently released, highly acclaimed movie "Three Months with My Dying Girlfriend" starring, next, let us applaud and cheer, Welcome Lacey Jonas!!!"
When he heard the name "Lacey Jonas", he couldn't help but put his hands back on the steering wheel involuntarily.
"Lacey, since your new film was released, it has been recognized by the public. Some film critics also said that in this film, you gave your best performance ever. What do you think?"
"Um...that's it..."
While listening to the conversation between Lacey and the radio host on the radio, Lu Qi tapped the steering wheel with his fingertips, waiting for the car's condition to improve.
Finally, all the cars in front drove away, and when they came to the Weisuo Square section, Lu Qi was stopped by the red light again and continued to speed.
First, the red light, the flow of people crossing the zebra crossing, then the red light turns yellow, and finally turns green...
Just as Lu Qi was thinking, should he go to the cinema to watch this movie starring someone, he stepped on the accelerator, and when he was about to drive forward, a sudden change occurred!
I don't know when, a middle-aged man in a suit with a cardboard box in his arms stepped on the zebra crossing as if no one else was there!
And it happened to be in the way of his driving!
Perhaps frightened by the approach of the car, the middle-aged man's face changed greatly, his hands were loosened, and the cardboard box in his arms fell from the air.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Qi noticed the old man who was running a red light, reacted quickly, and slammed on the brakes with his left foot!
When the cardboard box fell to the ground with a "pop", the black Befite Su Lei suddenly stopped in front of the man's legs with a distance of less than twenty centimeters.
Across the car window, Lu Qi saw the middle-aged man's face turned pale, pulled up the handbrake, flashed the double flashing lights, and got out of the car.
The middle-aged man with a sad face also realized his situation.
I thought that if I ran a red light, I would be greeted by the other party with a sentence beginning with F, but I didn't expect that there was a question full of concern:
"Sir, are you all right?"
Facing Shang Lu Qi's black eyes, the man with lingering fears froze for a moment, then lowered his head and replied in a low voice:
"Uh...I'm not...it's okay...I'm so sorry just now, I..."
"It's fine, I'll help you."
As soon as the words fell, Lu Qi squatted down and took the initiative to help the other party pick up the documents and objects scattered on the ground.
Seeing Lu Qi's actions, the man quickly bent down and picked up things together.
Picking up a document full of words, Lu Qi glanced inadvertently and saw the "Hamlin Law Firm" logo in the upper left corner. He couldn't help but pause and said to the man:
"Sir, are you a lawyer at Hamline?"
Hearing this, the man slapped his hand and smiled bitterly: "I used to be."
Looking at the other party's suit and various items in the cardboard box, Lu Qi nodded thoughtfully, "This way..."
He collected the things one after another and put them back in the cardboard box. The man holding the cardboard box gave Lu Qi a reluctant smile:
"Thank you."
After all, the man was about to leave, but was stopped by Lu Qi:
"Sir, where are you going?"
Perhaps it was the kindness radiated by Lu Qi's actions, like a ray of sunshine, which shone into his heart and made his anguish temporarily subside. The middle-aged man didn't think too much and replied directly.
"I'm going to go to the subway station and take the subway home."
"If that's the case, let me take you for a while! Just take it as a small compensation for me almost bumping into you just now, how about that?"
"This…"
Looking at Lu Qi's expensive sports car, the man showed hesitation, but finally accepted Lu Qi's kindness.
"Then trouble you..."
The two got into the car, and after the other party reported their destination, Lu Qi, who was driving, started talking to each other very naturally.
"By the way, by the way, my name is Alex."
"Oh, hello, my name is Daniel, Daniel Walker."
"Daniel, no offense, I don't quite understand what you just said "used to be a lawyer at Hamlin Law Firm"..."
Hearing this, Daniel, who was a little relaxed, didn't care about Lu Qi's slightly out of bounds problem.
He patted the cardboard box in his arms and smiled helplessly:
"As you can see, I just got fired."
"Oh, I'm sorry..."
"It doesn't matter, if I hadn't been fired, I wouldn't have had the chance to ride in such a luxurious sports car... In a sense, today is my lucky day..."
Looking at the old co-pilot who was obviously enjoying himself and laughing at himself, Lu Qi didn't know what to say, so he could only be silent.
For a while, there was only the faint sound of the engine and a near-frozen silence.
The car continued to drive forward, and Lu Qi asked again at this time:
"Then what are you going to do next?"
Reaching out and rubbing his swollen temples, Daniel said in a slightly tired tone:
"I don't know, maybe I'll be a public defender for a while, and then I'll see if any other law firm wants me."
"However, I don't think other firms will want a lawyer who is absent from the court hearing..."
Hearing Daniel's slightly sad self-mockery, Lu Qi's brows couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and he understood.
Maybe, that's why Daniel got fired from Hamlin...
Lu Qi had heard of the name Hamlin Law Firm, not only because it is the largest law firm in Los Santos, but also because of its special elimination mechanism.
Where there are people, there will be competition.
Not to mention the largest law firm in Los Santos.
In each competition, the losing side has only one fate:
Evicted from the office!
Because, the more excellent party is qualified to continue to stay.
However, even with such fierce competition and such brutal defeat, Hamline is a mecca for countless lawyers.
Entering Hamline means you become a member of the strongest team in the legal profession!
While the two were thinking about each other, the car also arrived at the destination - a single-family house in South Los Santos.
"It's here..."
Daniel, who opened the car door and got out of the car, seemed to have thought of something. He took out a business card from the carton and handed it to Lu Qi through the car window.
"Hey Alex, thanks for taking me home. Here's my business card, feel free to contact me if you need legal advice or questions. I'll give you a discounted…"
"Haha, I remember."
He took the business card and put it in the pocket of his sports jacket. Lu Qi watched the other party carry the cardboard box, walked to the house, started the engine again, and drove away...
