I love you, I won't kill you

"So, you're studying the accelerated Juris Doctor program?" Connie asked curiously while sitting on a soft swivel chair, holding Julie's school transcript in her hand.

"Yes, this course will take six years to complete. Maybe it's my luck, and I can get my degree in two years." Julie sat upright and said.

Connie was very satisfied with Julie's grades and put the transcript on her desk.He smiled and said, "Lovely girl, it's not your luck. I think that the study pressure and tuition fees you have endured in these six years will be much higher than those of an ordinary doctor of law."

Julie said neither humble nor overbearing, "Thank you, Ms. Hendricks. I think these are the motivations for my studies, otherwise I really don't know how to spend these years."

Connie continued, "You're welcome. Just, do I look old? Listen, if you decide to do a summer job here, then it's okay to call me Connie?"

Julie nodded without speaking.Connie smiled and introduced the situation of the firm, "You know, although this is only a medium-to-large firm. However, there are still two departments, independent litigation and transactional."

Then he said, "According to your grades and the lawyer's license you have obtained, I think you can go to the litigation department."

When Julie heard this, she was stunned for a few seconds and then said, "Really? But, I have only had my license for less than five months."

Connie looked at the clock on the wall, "Okay. If you think you're not strong enough, you can still do some assistant work in the clerical department first. Drafting contracts, processing necessary legal applications and documents, appraisals, etc., no problem Bar?"

Julie nodded solemnly again, "No problem. During the first three years of law school, I worked part-time at Calder Law Firm in New Haven."

"Okay. Julie, although you don't care about the salary, I will still pay you according to the standard of new lawyers. Well, the weekly salary is set at $2840, how about it?"

"Damn it! There are so many?" Julie couldn't believe Connie's words.

"Yes, I would say the same."

At this time, Connie stood up from behind the desk, "Okay, now I have to meet the bosses of several real estate companies. You can go to my assistant to solve the problem of entry."

Just when Julie got up and watched Connie go to the door, she heard her leave such a sentence, "Uh, by the way, you can think about the issue of 'subprime housing credit crisis' during lunch."

Julie put her hands behind her back, lowered her head and pondered for a few seconds before saying, "You mean, the crisis that gradually emerged in the spring of 2006 and began to surface in the first half of this year due to the bankruptcy of subprime mortgage lenders and forced investment funds This financial turmoil caused by the shutdown, the stock market turmoil?"

"Excellent explanation. Well, I should go." Connie turned and walked out of the office.

"New Century Finance, the second largest subprime mortgage company in the United States, did file for bankruptcy protection in April this year. However, the U.S. stock market also experienced a high correction in June after the sharp drop in March. Is this the case? A harbinger of a big shock in the global financial market?" Julie made such a judgment in her heart when she heard Connie's words.

The subprime mortgage crisis in the United States, which began in 06, has spread from the local financial industry to other real economic industries and affected the global economy.This has slowed down the economic growth of the world's major financial markets such as the United States, the European Union, and Japan, as well as emerging market countries.Coupled with global inflation, it will have a far-reaching impact on the global economic outlook in the next few years.

Friday, August 8rd at 3pm.After enjoying a $8 overtime dinner, Julie still felt a little tired from work.While tidying up his desk, the phone in the drawer rang.

"I'm Julie Mitchell, who are you?" Julie speeded up her hands while holding the phone between her shoulders.

"Julie, I'm here to find you." Joanna shouted loudly on the other end of the phone.

"Joanna? Uh, why are you thinking of calling me now?"

"Please, have you forgotten our agreement a month ago?"

"Promise? Uh, you really want to come to Chicago for vacation?" At this moment, Julie packed up her personal belongings and left the office with her briefcase, walking towards the elevator.

"Hell, do you think I'm joking? Well, you still work part-time at that firm?"

"Yeah, what are you trying to tell me?"

"Well, tomorrow is the weekend, remember to pick us up at the airport."

Reflecting on her work schedule, Julie replied, "Okay. When can I be in Chicago tomorrow?"

Joanna said, "Uh, wait. Angie told me that, including the transit time, I can arrive at O'Hare Airport at about 11:35 tomorrow."

Before 9 o'clock in the evening, Julie parked the car on the side of the road in front of her parents' house.Pushing the door to get out of the car, locking the door, looking up at the starry sky and stretching his neck back and forth, "I'm so fucking exhausted. Fortunately, I don't have to work overtime tomorrow."

"Woof..." A low and short barking sound came from down the hall.

"Hey, Whiskey, are you still waiting for me? Well, my good dog!" Julie walked up the steps with a smile, and sat on the steps stroking the St. Bernard's neck.

Having just completed an 8-week summer internship in federal court, Joanna wanted to spend the remaining month driving and traveling to Chicago without restrictions.However, Angie once again had the ghost idea of ​​wanting to be lazy.

"What, you want to take a flight to Chicago?" Joanna asked.

"Calm down, Joanna. It only takes a few hours to fly from New Haven to Chicago, and I don't think it's a problem." Sitting opposite, Angie answered while drinking coffee.

"Very well, you think there is no problem. But I think there are a lot of troubles."

"Interesting, you mean the airfare and car rental?"

Joanna giggled, "Whoa, you guessed it. Well, if you could..."

Angie put down the coffee cup in his hand, "Well, since I made the decision, I will take the responsibility. I will pay for the one-way air ticket of 220 US dollars, and I will solve the car rental problem."

"Uh huh, thank you. Uh, when do you want me to pay you back the money for the air ticket and the car rental?"

"Well, you can pay me back whenever you want. I know, you want to pay off your law school tuition loan in the shortest possible time."

At 11 o'clock the next morning, Julie walked out of the house with a shoulder bag and car keys.Isabella stood behind her, looked at her daughter and said, "Sweetheart, are you coming back for lunch with your classmates?"

"Yes, Mommy. Don't worry, we'll be back in an hour." Julie smiled and walked towards the car.

Driving northwest of the city from the block where my parents' house is located, it only takes 30 minutes to drive to O'Hare International Airport.Therefore, Julie had already driven into the circular passage of the waiting hall before listening to a few of her favorite songs.

"Why hasn't it come out yet?" Julie leaned on the body of the Infiniti SUV and looked at her watch anxiously.

"Joanna, is that Julie?" Angie carried the suitcase and walked out of the hall at a faster pace.

"Well, it seems to be her." Joanna walked aside and replied.

"Hello, Julie!" Angie threw down the suitcase, and happily stepped forward to hug Julie.

"Well, hi! Angie, why haven't you returned to China?" Julie was a little surprised.

Before Angie could speak, Joanna said, "Hi, honey, I really miss you so much."

Julie consciously wanted to keep a certain distance from Joanna, hugged her and whispered, "Really?"

"Of course. Do you know how much I like you?" Joanna said, smelling the scent on Julie.

"Uh huh, you and Sophia broke up? When did it happen?"
