Windfall

　　The next night, Martin deliberately left work early, only to learn that Mary was back in Texas at noon.

　　Sheldon kept his job, but he didn't look happy.

　　Mary seems to meet Sheldon's new director, and something unspeakable happens between the two in the school office.

　　Although it was a good thing for Mary, who had been widowed for many years, as a godson, Martin still felt a little uncomfortable after hearing the news.

　　Life in the apartment has become calm again, only Leonard is entangled in his relationship with Penny like a wild cat in spring.

　　The firm's work was going well, too, except for that damn second-degree murder case.

　　The United Kingdom and the United States are the legal system of the sea, and they pay attention to adjudicating new and similar cases in accordance with previous precedents.

　　Martin has searched through the cases of driving a vehicle to kill a person in the past two days, and he can't find any way to reduce Amanda's sentence or get rid of the crime.

　　This made him a little annoyed, after all, it was the first criminal case he took over, and he didn't want to just raise his hand and surrender.

　　After buttoning the folder, Martin pressed the talk button on the desk phone, let Rachel pour a glass of ice water in, and then stood up and paced back and forth in the office.

　　After a while, Rachel walked in, twisting her hot circle: "Martin, today is payday. You need to check the account. If there is any problem, I will communicate with the financial department in time..."

　　"Thank goodness, finally let me hear good news!"

　　Martin drank the ice water in one breath, sat back in front of the computer and opened the Citibank website.

　　After entering the account password and hidden code, a line of numbers appears on the screen.

　　"72652.8"

　　Martin whistled happily.

　　Compared with the tens of billions and hundreds of billions of the predecessors, the salary of more than 70,000 US dollars is enough to satisfy Martin's little hobby.

　　Superhero comics, "World of Warcraft" card...

　　Contentment is always happy!

　　Although they had signed 14 contracts before, the members of the mutual aid association originally had their own legal advisors and could only wait for their respective contracts to expire before they would take effect automatically, so the commissions for these contracts were not reflected in this month's salary.

　　"Rachel, how did you use your first salary after going to work?" Martin asked suddenly.

　　"Pay your credit card, rent, utility bills and cell phone bills..."

　　Rachel broke her fingers and counted one by one.

　　Martin waved his hands helplessly: "I mean the ones left after paying the bills."

　　"Do you think the secretary's salary is as rich as your group of exam geniuses?" Rachel couldn't help rolling her eyes: "You have no idea how difficult it is to pay off the bills every month and still maintain a decent living.. ..."

　　Rachel's undergraduate grades at Harvard were not bad, but when she arrived at the exam room, she was easily nervous and chose the wrong questions, which made her unable to pass the LAST qualification test and could only temporarily be a lawyer's secretary.

　　Martin laughed and said: "You are old money waiting to inherit hundreds of millions of properties (members of rich families who have inherited more than three generations), there is no need to complain about the injustice and rigidity of social class stratification in front of me, maybe you don't know when you will become to my valued client..."

　　"Then you should be nice to me now." Rachel winked: "I remember the Italian food in Florence restaurant is good..."

　　"Can it be reimbursed? After all, it is to contact future customers in advance..." Martin joked, then thought about it and said, "Dinner is no problem, accompany me to buy a trolley first."

　　"Buying a car again?" Rachel was stunned for a moment: "Is it a Peterbilt heavy truck or a Ford Mustang this time?"

　　Martin was a little surprised: "It seems that your last car buying experience has had a profound impact on you. You actually know the prototype cars of Optimus Prime and Roadblock?"

　　Rachel pouted: "It's every secretary's job to understand the boss's interests."

　　"Okay, I regret letting you take the LAST test next year." Martin shook his head: "I admit that my previous thoughts were just a bunch of puppy poop, that Camaro is really hard to drive, I'm still young , need to enjoy the convenience and comfort brought by modern technology..."

　　~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

　　This time, the two were at a comprehensive auto sales store in midtown Manhattan.

　　This store operates many high-end brands, such as the most common Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, and Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini, and so on.

　　When it comes to choosing a car, men and women have significantly different concerns.

　　Just like Rachel, she likes the elegant and smooth body lines of Ferrari and Mercedes-Benz slk; and Martin prefers the restless "heart" under the low-key appearance of BMW m2c.

　　After all, it is the most classic "suit thug" before the appearance of the Audi RS series!

　　"Although buying a car is a very personal thing, being too individual also means not fitting in..."

　　Rachel looked at the black BMW in front of her, her face a little tangled: "You are a lawyer after all, you should choose those models that both you and your clients will be interested in, so that you can have more talk at the business dinner,... .."

　　"You're right, I'm just a collector." Martin's advantage is self-awareness: "Now I need a car for commuting and meeting customers, and easy handling and comfort are the priority!"

　　It seems that Martin has chosen a sky blue Porsche 911 four-wheel drive turbo s that sells for $113,000.

　　In the past life, there were many "cloud riders" who dismissed the 911, believing that it was not even an entry-level sports car, and it was completely inferior to Ferrari's high-end atmosphere.

　　Every time I see these claims, Martin wants to spray salt soda on their cheap keyboards that don't cost more than $300.

　　Too professional data will not be mentioned. Just looking at its perfect front and rear brake ratio of 4:6, you can know how much effort the world's top automotive engineers have spent on the performance tuning of this car.

　　Look at Ferrari again - too pompous!

　　This kind of comprehensive car dealership showroom is full of existing cars, and one is sold for one. Martin asked Rachel to follow the salesman to go through the formalities, while he sat in the cab to familiarize himself with the multi-functional buttons.

　　Many sports cars have their own unique driving habits, and Martin is also wondering whether to enroll in a Porsche advanced driving course, at least learn to drift or emergency avoidance.

　　Just then, a voice reached his ears.

　　"...the quality of BMW is unquestionable and the X5 is also the first choice of many successful people..."

　　BMW X5?

　　Amanda seems to be driving this car to kill her boyfriend?

　　Martin couldn't help but turn his head to look.

　　The salesperson in the store is taking a middle-aged couple to see the BMW X5, right next to the M2C, not far from their Porsche 911.

　　"...this is BMW's latest electronic gear control system...yes, the operation is very simple, up is reverse gear, down is forward gear...much like F22 The joystick on a fighter jet..."

　　Listening and listening, Martin moved in his heart, stepped down from the Porsche and came to the BMW X5. First, he looked at the somewhat maverick "drumstick gear" in the car, and then stood aside thoughtfully.

　　"Sir? Sir?"

　　The salesman interrupted Martin's thoughts politely: "UU reading www.uukanshu.com do you need me to introduce you?"

　　Martin hugged his chest with his left hand and kept stroking his chin with his right hand: "The gears of this car seem to be a little different?"

　　"Yes, this is BMW's latest electronic gear system last year. It is different from the traditional straight-line gear and serpentine gear. It is more convenient to operate. Only the X5 is used first in the entire car series..."

　　The salesman gushed about explaining.

　　"Last year? First time??" Martin frowned. "That is to say, it's very different from the old-fashioned automatic transmission?"

　　"It's not much different, it's just that it may not be as intuitive as a traditional automatic transmission, but the convenience and intelligence of operation have been greatly improved..."

　　Martin put his hands in his pockets, and the corners of his mouth cocked slightly: "It's not that intuitive...an interesting statement..."

　　The salesman can't understand the interests of this young customer, should he agree? Still not good?

　　Just then, Rachel and a salesman came over with documents: "Martin, you need to sign a few words and pay."

　　Martin took the document, signed his name without looking at it, then took out his credit card and handed it to Rachel: "Leave me alone for a while, I'm thinking about the topic of my date... ."

　　"BMW X5?" Rachel frowned and looked at the new car in front of her, as if she remembered something: "Amanda's case?"

　　Martin nodded noncommittally: "BMW's electronic gear system looks good..."

　　"Originally, I expected you to be more romantic..." Rachel turned helplessly and said, "Priya is still working overtime in the office, I will let her send the information to your new office as soon as possible. on the phone."
