The daily life of American drama detective

Chapter 128 Please be a person

"You're good too."

Chuck gave his own comments on the legendary predecessors in this industry.

"Ha ha."

The bald old accountant shook his head helplessly in the face of the industry's backwardness.

"Mr. Steinberg, we need your help."

Susan said.

"I'm just an old man who likes to watch comedy, and I can't help you with anything."

The balding old accountant shook his head.

"You helped the Ouyang Feng Group, including the Gambino family, to manage the accounts for more than 40 years. Those accounts are not cold numbers, but poisoned children and destroyed families."

Susan was moved with emotion: "You can help us stop all this and save the future!"

"Dr. Wolf, do you know how I got on this path?"

The bald old accountant didn't look at Susan, but looked at Chuck with interest.

"know."

Chuck nodded.

"Then please tell this IRS agent."

The bald old accountant smiled and said, "Why would a top accountant whose ability is recognized by everyone be willing to give up an aboveboard and wealthy life to go through this muddy water?"

"Because you don't have a CPA certificate."

Chuck was succinct.

"Yes."

The bald old accountant said with great emotion: "Can you imagine that an accountant whose ability is recognized by everyone can't be registered as an accountant?

I was born in a poor family, and my family had no money to support me to go to college. I dropped out of school early and struggled in the society for several years. I was really unwilling to repeat my father's endlessly ordinary life for the rest of my life.

I want to break out a career and live a human life.

Fortunately, I found that I was still talented, especially in the field of accounting, so I first went to a small accounting firm to do odd jobs, and secretly got acquainted with how to be an accountant.

Then I spent money to find a fake certificate, gave myself an accounting certificate, and applied for a job in a large accounting firm. My ability surprised the interviewer, and I was admitted without a doubt.

In the next few years, I worked very well in that large firm, and the boss valued me very much. I had a high salary, status, and several beautiful girlfriends. Just when I thought I was about to reach the pinnacle of my life, I The certificate was found to be fake, and then everything changed.

I've been fired, my reputation has spread throughout the industry, I can no longer find work in the industry, my girlfriends have broken up with me, and my world is ruined.

Fortunately, gold shines everywhere, and not everyone only values ​​the paper certificate.

I was invited to take another accounting path, and while I'm not proud of it, it saved me. "

Speaking of this, he looked at Chuck and asked, "Dr. Wolfe, do you think that certificate of accounting is really that important?"

"unimportant."

Chuck shook his head: "All certificates are just a stepping stone, ability is the most important thing."

"That's it!"

The bald old accountant was very happy to see Chuck say this: "Without that certificate, I can still prove my worth, I am who I am!"

"Your value has been proven long ago. Regardless of gangsters or white gangs, what really matters is ability rather than certificates."

Chuck looked at him calmly: "Do you think you were fired because of a fake certificate? Your boss really doesn't know that your certificate is fake?"

"what?"

The bald old accountant was taken aback for a moment, and after many years of experience, he immediately understood everything after Chuck broke through a cognitive limitation, and laughed at himself: "Indeed! I'm so stupid, I haven't figured it out for decades. Such a simple question, I should have thought of it a long time ago, what really got me fired was not because of the fake certificate, but because I found out that some of the company's accounts were wrong and asked more questions!"

Speaking of this, he shrugged at Susan and smiled wryly: "See? I still think of people too kindly."

"Evil people are a minority after all, and kind people are the majority."

Susan took the opportunity to say: "As long as you are willing to help, kind people can always occupy the majority, so that kind people like you who want to walk the right path have hope and a future."

"Where were you when I wanted to take the right path?"

A sneer hung on the corner of the bald old accountant's mouth: "Why didn't you show up to give me a kind person like me?"

"That's a legacy of the times."

Susan shook her head: "Let's put it aside for now, and now we are asking you to help us help more kind people. This is not only helping them, but also helping yourself."

"Ha ha."

The bald old accountant sneered and said, "Come on, come on, the classic routine is here, the tone of asking for help is still so hard, those who don't know think it's because I racked my brains to ask you, the 'Earth Ball Leader', to help me, Why, if I don't agree, will you turn your face, if you don't help you, it's not good, it's extremely evil."

"Don't get excited, Mr. Schumberger."

Susan said calmly: "I'm just stating a fact. We're here to find you this time, and the news will reach those people soon. Helping us is helping ourselves."

"Do you think you are the only one who found me in more than 40 years?"

The bald old accountant said: "Threatening me with this kind of low-level means, do you know what a good habit I learned in a large accounting firm? That is, a large accounting firm will interact with a large law firm. Clients, one helps with accounting, and the other helps with legal disputes. Strong alliances. Although I am no longer in a large accounting firm, my place has strong enough legal resources. Even if you are from the IRS, if you There is not enough evidence and you cannot force me to 'help' you with your gangster-like logic."

Seeing that the bald old accountant was a bit extreme towards them and unable to cooperate, Susan frowned: "Times have changed, and people's minds have changed. In the past, they may have trusted you enough to give you a chance to prove your loyalty, but now you are old and your heart is broken." Perhaps they have also softened, at least they may have this conjecture, so do you dare to bet?"

The bald old accountant's face changed slightly, and he was silent for a long time, looking at Chuck: "Dr. Wolf, if you were me, what would you choose?"

"I don't face that choice."

Chuck calmly said: "Because I would not choose this path from the very beginning, Liu Bei·Break Finger Xuanyuan·Ouyang Feng, the one who is truly intolerable is Ouyang Feng, because once it gets involved, it will be irreversible. The flood of organic diseases will destroy not one person, nor just one family, but the whole world. With your ability, as long as you are willing, even if you don't work for Ouyang Feng Group, you can still stand out, but you are obviously more If you want to take shortcuts and don’t want to have the slightest setback, if you like comedy, then you should know that comedian masters are all people who have endured the hardships of life and still don’t forget their original intentions.”

"..."

The bald old accountant was silent.

Although Chuck's "persuading others to be kind without suffering from others" made him somewhat dissatisfied, he understood that what Chuck said was indeed reasonable.

Take his favorite Deborah Vance as an example. Deborah was so popular back then, she was on the cover of Time Magazine, and she will soon have her own talk show on prime time on TV. This will be the first Female stand-up performers get the honor.

It's a pity that it all stopped on that night. After recording the pilot episode, Deborah Vance found out that her husband was having sex with her best friend and her own sister.

So she burned down her husband's house and left with her several-year-old daughter.

Because the impact was too bad, the pilot episode of the first talk show was directly sealed, the talk show became dirty, and the infinitely bright future disappeared. Deborah Vance had to come to Las Vegas and start again from here. Performing talk shows for tourists here, staying for more than 30 years, the influence is greatly limited, and it is completely different from the national or even world-famous TV talk show stars.

Even so, decades have passed, earning a lot of money, and there is no need for Deborah, who is forced by life, even if she is ridiculed by others, the hotel owner is an old friend who restricts the number of appearances, mocking her for earning him Money is not as good as a lobster, and she cosplays her into a lobster advertisement, but she still uses all means to keep her stage.

This kind of fracture point in life is so similar to him.

As the most loyal old fan, the bald old accountant knew it all, which was one of the reasons why he liked her the most.

Maybe he couldn't do it himself, so after the different choices in his life, he looked at Deborah Vance as if he was looking at his alternative life.

"If there is nothing else, I'm going back."

The balding old accountant forced a smile.

"this is my name card."

Susan handed out her business card: "You can contact me if you need anything."

The bald old accountant didn't even look at her, nodded to Chuck, and walked out slowly.

"Let's go."

Susan didn't care about the bald old accountant's ignorance of her. She put away her business card and greeted Chuck: "The next step is to see if they trust each other enough."

"Wait."

Chuck didn't go out directly, but walked backstage.

"where are you going?"

Susan was taken aback.

"Go get the tape of tonight's talk show."

Chuck's calm voice came.

Susan was stunned, then quickly followed, and thoughtfully said: "Do you want to study his psychology through video recordings and make targeted breakthroughs?"

"Do not."

Chuck shook his head: "I just want to make a copy of the video tape and take it back to my friends."

Tourists are not allowed to record the stage show in Las Vegas, so that only people who come to Las Vegas can see it, which is a means of attracting tourists.

"..."

Susan's mouth twitched.

She also heard Chuck talk about the friend Deborah Vance mentioned on the stage before, who was the father of the friend Chuck mentioned, and all the funny jokes came from the real family experience of the friend Chuck mentioned.

So is the friend in this mouth really a friend?
She seriously doubts it.

Or is this the way to be a friend of someone like Chuck?
Ok.

This is also very possible.

Ok.

Fortunately, she wasn't going to be his friend.
