Chapitre 12: Penny's Night Attack
Half an hour later, Martin returned to the scene with more than a dozen founders, and the somewhat hasty business reception finally returned to normal.
The billionaires gathered in twos and threes to talk about the Yankees' defeat in the Super Bowl a few days ago, or whether Tesla's boss was qualified to be the real-life prototype of Iron Man.
The flamboyant female companions follow the men, pretending to be very interested in these topics, and nod and smile from time to time to show that they understand, so as to arouse the recognition and appreciation of the men.
Martin, holding a glass of champagne, walked to the balcony and leaned against the railing, looking at the bustling night view of Manhattan outside.
I don't know how long it took, Rachel came to his side.
"Congratulations, I believe you will become a new legend in the entire legal profession from tomorrow!"
Rachel smiled and raised her glass.
Martin and her clink glasses, sipping champagne while admiring the long river of cars downstairs from the hotel.
After a while, Rachel finally couldn't help it: "Why?"
"what why?"
"You know." Rachel spread her hands casually: "You can obviously achieve more, you can become the youngest billionaire...I don't know what I'm talking about... I mean, why don't you be one of them?"
Martin narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you know why people are troubled?"
"I can't ask for it?" Rachel thought for a while and answered.
"Bingo!" Martin smiled: "Although the pursuit of wealth is the driving force behind the progress of human society, most people do not know how to control their desires, and in the end they can only become slaves of money..."
Speaking of this, Martin looked back at the people inside: "I don't want to be like them. The first thing I do when I wake up every day is to check whether the balance in the company's account is enough to pay wages, or to fight with the board of directors all day long, just to get that Some ethereal right..."
"I used to be like them. Fortunately, I still have a chance to come back. This time I don't want to repeat the same mistakes..."
Although the last sentence sounds strange, Rachel understands what he means.
"Anyway, it's easy if you want to make money anyway, as you can see from that Chevy."
Rachel shrugged and continued to ask, "ok, second question, why did you choose to be a lawyer?"
"Because the law is the universal rule by which this society operates..."
Martin didn't turn his head back, letting Rachel admire her neat and clean right face: "A few days ago, an idiot occupied my friend's quilt. It was worth nineteen dollars, the most common style in IKEA."
"Because of this quilt, he was almost forced to pay me three thousand dollars in legal fees, which would make him bankrupt..."
"This is the power of mastering the rules!"
Rachel sighed. "My dad's motto: 'Always be the smartest guy at the poker table!'"
Martin smiled, picked up the glass and raised it up: "Your father is a wise man! I wish him good health!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The reception didn't end until midnight. Martin was too lazy to go back, so he simply opened a room in the hotel and stayed for one night.
The next morning, Martin returned to the apartment to change clothes, but saw the door of his apartment was open.
"...Are you all crazy? You know how scary this is..."
You could tell that Penny must be angry right now.
"...Yes, we discussed this for a long time last night as well..."
Leonard was still so attentive.
"In my apartment! While I'm sleeping..."
Penny was furious, but was interrupted by Sheldon's words.
"And snoring, I think you may have a sinus infection, but it could also be sleep apnea, and you may need the advice of a professional nasal doctor..."
Martin thinks it's time for him to show up, or Penny's going to shove the slippers into Sheldon's backyard.
"Can anyone tell me what happened?"
"These two bastards sneaked into my apartment last night while I was sleeping! Martin, help me tell them how horrible this is!"
What?
Martin frowned at his roommate.
"We...we just helped her clean up the room."
Leonard played with his fingers awkwardly: "Sheldon...you know...we'll open the door and go in..."
With Leonard's hesitant explanations and Sheldon's confident additions, Martin finally figured out what was going on.
The furniture Penny ordered yesterday arrives, and Leonard and Sheldon help her carry it into her apartment, only to find it in a mess.
All kinds of clothes are thrown randomly on the chairs and dining table, the green plants are upside down in the toilet in the bathroom, and the most exaggerated thing is that the unfinished pizza is placed in the open box on the sofa, which makes people worry about whether there will be Xiaoqiang or Jerry ran over for dinner.
Sheldon, who has cleanliness and obsessive-compulsive disorder, tossed and fell to sleep last night, always thinking of Penny's apartment in a mess, and finally got up, took the spare key that Penny gave them, entered her apartment, and tidied it up secretly .
Leonard also got up when he heard the movement. After trying to persuade Sheldon to no avail, he could only help tidy up together.
And then...Penny woke up this morning and found out about it all, and she felt a little scared, so she ran over to find these two guys to settle accounts.
Martin sighed and shook his head with a wry smile: "Sheldon, Leonard, you should be thankful that Penny didn't have a pistol under the pillow, after all, from a legal point of view, she had every reason to shoot you directly last night. !"
Then he turned his head to look at Penny: "By the way, remember to shoot at the ceiling first as a warning, otherwise it may be suspected of illegal defense, although I don't recommend doing so, after all, no one can tell about the ricochet. It's easy to hurt yourself..."
Penny's eyes widened: "Martin!"
"ok! ok!" Martin raised his hand and surrendered: "How about this, Penny's spare key will be kept by me, Sheldon, Leonard, you have indeed made a big mistake, you must apologize to Penny, Sincere apology, understand?"
Under Martin's mediation, several people finally got back together.
After all this was done, Martin went back to the room to take a shower and change his clothes. When he came out again, there was no one in the room.
The door to Penny's apartment on the opposite side was open.
Martin walked over and saw that Howard and Rajesh were also coming, and four science nerds were discussing what to write in front of a picture.
"What happened again?"
Martin carefully walked around the cardboard boxes and wooden boards on the ground, UU reading www.uukanshu. com walked over to Penny who was holding a board to install the studs.
"These geniuses are talking about transforming the cheap TV cabinet I just bought into a space shuttle for NASA and sending it to the moon..."
Penny habitually complained.
Martin shook his head again and shouted to the people at the table, "Hey, do you need help?"
"Martin, you're just a Doctor of Laws! Okay." Howard turned his head and shouted, "It's engineering, and I'm the most professional in this apartment!"
Then he turned to his best friend and said, "That's what I'm worried about. This is the most unimaginative way to combine parts. No wonder Sweden can't carry out the sky project."
Penny said hesitantly, "I looked beautiful in the store..."
The four otakus ignored him at all: "To be honest, this design is totally unreasonable, you see, if Penny has an LCD TV, all the space behind it will be wasted."
"We can install a stereo."
"How to control it?"
"Add an infrared adapter, but heat dissipation needs to be considered."
"How about liquid coolant? Put a pump here with a quarter inch of PVC in it..."
I don't know what the few people discussed, but they suddenly cheered excitedly, and then left the apartment one by one.
Penny gave Martin a speechless look.
Martin shook his head amusingly: "Trust me, they're definitely trying to help you, but... too hard."
"Ok!" Penny tilted her head. "You're going to help me with this, right?"
"I am glad to."
