1236 Date to Play Ball
"My husband...you know, some people have some objections to his continuing to serve as justice." Chris said it very euphemistically. This is no longer a matter of "some opinions".
If there are just "some opinions", it is impossible to directly shake his job and the power in his hands.
Ms. Tracy nodded sympathetically, "Yes, I know..."
Suddenly there was a fire burning in Chris's heart, she was going to bow to Tracy!
Yes, if she doesn't bow her head, how can she show the level between them at this time?
She is inferior!
Before this, she had never thought that one day she would be a humble person, lowering her head and asking Trish for help. She had never thought that such a day would come!
The two people actually have a very good relationship. They have known each other since they were girls. At that time, their family backgrounds were similar, and even Chris's situation was better.
She was born into a businessman's family, her parents were relatively wealthy, while Tracy only had a father who was a city councilor and an uncle who was a pastor who had little contact with the family.
On the other hand, Chrissy's family is very rich, and wealth and status in the Federation means she has always regarded Tracy as her good friend, a good friend who is used to set off her status.
Maybe she didn't think so subjectively, but subconsciously she did it.
This is just like many delicate girls who are tea-like, there will always be one or two good girlfriends to set them off. They are short, not tall, have round faces, long hair, inappropriate clothes, a little ugly, and their family conditions are not as good as those The "protagonist" girl.
These foils will even be very touching many times, because those excellent girls who are sweet and beautiful, have a good family background, seem to be very well-educated, and are always followed by all kinds of outstanding boys, are actually so different from these "ordinary girls" The intimacy!
They are good friends. Those princesses never care about anything about them. They always play with them and stay together wherever they go. But these girls never seem to have thought about this problem. Will they be the background?
Is the so-called "friendship" just a cheap "accessory"?
Just like in the early years, under the cultural influence of Gaevra, upper-class women like to go shopping with petite dogs. Perhaps in the eyes of those outstanding girls with a tea-like temperament, the ordinary best friends around them are just another person. A "pet dog" in this sense is firmly tied in the hand by a chain called "friendship"!
When Chrissy was young, she liked to play with Ms. Tracy. She felt that when the two of them were together, she had a higher status and could highlight her own status.
Until... later, her husband became the chancellor with her help. He was not inferior even to Ms. Tracey's father, but of course it was not enough to face her patriarch uncle.
Until that moment, she had never felt that she was lowered, but now, she felt it.
A fire that was burning with jealousy was getting stronger and stronger in his heart. A certain kind of self-confidence that had been cultivated over decades suddenly burst out and ignited the flame at the moment of collapse.
"You have to... help me!", she lowered her head, "I don't know who to look for. It seems that I have been abandoned by the whole world. No one can help me, only you..."
Ms. Tracy didn't know if her friend's face was ferocious and twisted at this time.
But even if she knew, she would probably pretend not to know.
She had a troubled look on her face at this time, "Chris, I really, really want to help you..." When she said this, she reached out and held Chris's hand, as if she wanted to help her. Some sense of security.
"But there's nothing I can do!"
Chris raised her head, her face full of sadness, "He said that your victory is a foregone conclusion. If you can say a few words for him, the Ministry of Justice will definitely consider your opinions carefully!"
It was Chrissy's husband who came up with the idea, and he was right.
If judicial work does not want to be paralyzed, it is best for local and state governments to cooperate.
However, Ms. Tracey had her own reasons for not reaching out, "Chris, even if I really win in the end, it's not convenient for me to interfere in these things just after I took office."
"This is a matter for the Ministry of Justice. Only after I have been working for at least a while can I say something for him."
"It's not that I won't help you, it's just that I really can't help you!"
Chris was silent for a while, then forced a smile, "No, it's okay, I wouldn't think that..."
In fact, Ms. Tracy knew what Chrissy's husband had done. After all, they had been friends for decades. If she could really intervene, she would not sit back and watch these things happen.
The way Chris’s husband came to power is a bit... easy to criticize. Some people say that it was because of some romantic rumors between Chris and the previous justice that the previous justice took the initiative to recommend him when he retired. Chris's husband.
This matter was later refuted and clarified. Chris was also a law student. The previous justice also served as an honorary professor at the university and occasionally attended classes.
Isn’t it too much for students to ask the teacher some questions?
After coming to power, Chrissy's husband also wanted to work hard for a while, but then the world war broke out and the Federation did not participate in the war, but it also caused a lot of impact and changes on the Federation.
Chrissy's parents' business is over, and conservatism is prevalent. People are more inclined to "stable" judges. Chrissy's husband obviously does not meet this condition.
The Ministry of Justice intends to replace people. In this case, they can only find ways to stabilize their position.
The laws of each federal state are somewhat different. For example, theft may be punished by imprisonment in one state, but it may be a fine in another state.
This is true for many crimes, not just theft, even murders will have significant gaps.
The most stringent states directly impose the death penalty, but in the most lenient states, it may be implemented in fifty or sixty years.
For many ordinary criminals, they do not have the ability to take their cases across state lines, but criminal behavior is not exclusive to a certain class.
Poor gang members on the streets can commit crimes, and so can high-society dignitaries.
Crime actually has nothing to do with how much knowledge, education, and morality you have. It is just a radical method without considering the consequences, nothing more.
In order to get support, someone in the Ministry of Justice introduced several jobs to Chrissy's husband. There happened to be some wealthy or politically connected criminals who needed to reduce their sentences through legal means.
In the sentencing work of these cases, Chrissy's husband gave them a big "concession" and as a reward, he barely secured his position.
But now is the era of the Progressive Party. Determined reform is the slogan of Mr. President. The personnel changes at the core level of the federal government have been completed, and the next step is to continue downwards.
But it is not disorderly, and one cannot arbitrarily take away the power of a person who occupies an important position and replace it with someone of your own.
There has to be a reason.
Chrissy's husband, unfortunately, was in the problematic part that could be removed.
If he is removed, there will be one more state justice position, and one more member of the Progressive Party can be installed to hold an important legal job in a swing state.
Don't underestimate these jobs. One or two of them may not be able to exert much power, but when all the positions are connected together, they can explode with terrifying power!
Ms. Tracey is a member of the Progressive Party herself. Although people in swing states don’t care too much about their political stance, as a governor of a progressive party, she wants to retain a conservative justice...
What do you think the party committee will think?
Perhaps she had expected such a result when she came here, but Chris was actually not that disappointed.
What made her unhappy at this time was not entirely because Ms. Tracy rejected her, but that she discovered that there was an obvious gap between her and her "best friend", and it was the most terrifying class gap!
She can't stand this!
She endured the discomfort and talked for a while, then got up and left.
Seeing Chris leaving the room as if running away after saying goodbye to her, there was not much expression on Ms. Tracey's face.
She knew that her decades-long friendship with this woman was over!
And Chrissy, who was walking out of the door, seemed to have something chasing her behind her. She took one step faster than the other. When she went downstairs, she sprained her foot and almost fell down.
She endured the pain and returned to the car, her face looking very ugly.
This was the last time she met Ms. Tracy. She swore to herself that she would never look at her face again in this life, let alone lower her head and beg her for anything!
And she also placed her only hope on Mr. President.
The reunion was always short-lived, and Chris returned to Bupen two days later.
She first went to the bowling alley she owned and saw that the business was very good.
The president likes bowling, and Lynch said he will hold one or two bowling games every year, with all prize money donated to charity, and he will invite the president to be a judge or even a contestant.
This has greatly stimulated some speculators' enthusiasm for bowling, and people really need various ways to kill time and reduce stress.
Compared with golf, which is too expensive for many middle-class people to step into, bowling for a few dollars or more is becoming more and more popular.
No professional equipment is required, at most you just need to buy a ball, and most people use balls from a bowling alley.
The cost is also very cheap, and almost any class can afford it and can afford it, so it is abnormal that this emerging industry is not popular.
After checking the account books during this period, Chris made a phone call to Mr. President.
Perhaps it was because he had not exercised well for a while, but the President was very interested in the invitation to bowling and readily agreed to the appointment.
