Chapter 405 The Dutton Family Also Came
The party didn't take place because of Pepper's pregnancy.
However, Stark still went to bars that specialized in dancing performances with him several times under Luke's name.
This guy Rhodes is suffering in the Middle East.
When he heard that Stark and Luke were having fun, he was so angry that he insisted that they wait for him to come back and treat him to a full set of big swords.
McClain is now very calm and doesn't work so hard anymore.
He always remembered Luke's words.
Why are you working so hard for such a low salary?
When you die, someone will sleep with your wife, beat your kids, and spend your pension.
Officer McClain shuddered at the thought.
So, now when I go out to handle cases, I am very calm.
Bulletproof vests must be worn, and helmets and various guns and ammunition are always available in the car.
Luke's method of treating his fear of insufficient firepower was copied here.
After Harris left, Arthur was in charge of the Los Angeles FBI branch.
He now lives in harmony with his wife and daughter, and his wife has given birth to a son for him.
After Harris left, he got a promotion, and now he walks with the wind...
Brian has been following Harris's request and opened a car modification shop in Los Angeles.
Not only in California, but also in neighboring states, Brian's name has been heard.
No one dares to race with him now.
His modified parts were selling like hot cakes, and he made much more money from the shop than his FBI salary.
Luke also gave him some special discounts. Most of the parts in Brian's store were produced by companies under DQ Industries (Daqin Industries).
Many racers came here because of its reputation. After Brian's modification and debugging, these parts sold very well, even though they were more expensive than other brands.
Therefore, Brian didn't have to go out and compete with others, and he also knew what cars the biker gangs in California and nearby areas used.
After Lilith sorted out the information, she gave it all to Harris.
With Lilith's help, Harris worked like a duck in water in the FBI.
After visiting some old friends, Luke went to San Francisco.
Harris is indeed very busy.
But I still found time to have dinner with Luke.
Harris naturally knew that the current work was so effective, it was naturally Luke's credit.
So she gritted her teeth and rewarded Luke handsomely, no, she rewarded herself.
After Luke left, she took two consecutive days off.
This surprised everyone in the California FBI branch.
But no one thinks Harris got to her position because of her beauty.
With Luke behind her, she has both the people and the intelligence.
And from time to time it can also increase the income of the bureau.
No one is trying to trip Harris up now.
This is completely different from when Harris first came to Los Angeles. (See Chapter 41 for details)
At that time, Luke was the only one she had available.
Later, he finally found a caring secretary, Erica, who was like a little squirrel, but she was poached away by Luke.
But everyone knows what happened next.
Luke alone can take on an entire FBI branch.
After watching Harris, I came back from San Francisco and finally welcomed the graduation season of the three sisters.
The Duttons also came from Montana.
Lip finally met Beth, whom he had been thinking about for a long time.
This guy didn't get into UCLA, but just got a college degree in Montana.
He is a year older than Beth and graduated last year.
The two families attended the graduation ceremony of the three sisters together.
Come September, the three sisters will go to a private business school.
Learning there is secondary, the main thing is to build personal connections.
Beth is not good at studying, but she has a sharp mind.
After consulting Beth and Mr. Qin, Old John (Beth's father, John Dutton) also agreed that Beth and Angela could continue studying together.
Anyway, business school grades don’t matter.
After Luke's persuasion, old John and his wife have accepted Lip as their son-in-law.
After so many years, Lip still misses Beth and never leaves her.
Even though they were separated, their love did not fade.
Although Beth is lively and active, and sometimes eccentric, she knows that Lip is truly sincere to her.
And Luke's words made Old John decide to train Lip.
"It's rare for a child his age to be so loyal to Beth. Loyalty is his best quality."
Old John adopted Lip entirely at the request of an old friend.
Now he is raising Li Pu as his own son.
Another look is that Jamie has been following Qin's father Drake since graduation.
He also works at Drake's law firm.
The job of a lawyer requires experience and even more so connections.
Jamie is still young, and his future path is basically set.
Being in this family, he also realized that it would be better for him to be a behind-the-scenes boss than to be a politician.
No one in the Qin family is involved in politics, but they have a profound influence on the political world.
If he was just at the Duttons' house, he might not be able to see this.
But after working under Drake for a long time, Drake did not treat him as an outsider.
For some things, Drake would explain to Jamie in detail the reasons and pros and cons.
This was also an eye-opener for Jamie.
Now Jamie only cares about his connections and business skills, and is no longer obsessed with proving himself by entering politics.
Lee Dutton, the eldest son of the Dutton family, who was serving in the military, also came.
The graduation season of my younger sister Beth is a big event for the Dutton family.
Luke used his connections in the army to get Lee back from leave.
Lee did not go to the Middle East, but stayed in the logistics department of the Marine Corps.
Works in the recruit training department.
Although it didn't make Li's personality more lively, he was no longer honest, dull and rigid.
More calm and sophisticated.
Old John was very satisfied.
Lee is expected to retire next year and return to Montana to work as a livestock police officer.
As his own son, the father naturally knew the changes in Li.
Although he still speaks very little, he is very shrewd in his heart.
There is a kind of shrewdness that is sinister.
Luke naturally knew that this was the result of the training of the American recruits who had seen all kinds of weird things.
If you are not black-hearted and ruthless, you will not be able to discipline these spirited young men from all over the United States.
Most of these soldiers are those who cannot make it in their hometowns and join the army to avoid their families or local interpersonal relationships.
There are also those who did not go to a good university after graduation and cannot find a job.
There are really few good people.
Most of them are poor students who have nothing to do at home after graduation and were fooled into joining the army by recruitment advertisements.
The officer class and soldier class in the United States are completely two different worlds and circles.
Military academies all over the world want elites, even the elites among the elites.
Officers have their own circle, and soldiers have their own circle.
The two circles are very different.
However, this does not apply to elite special forces.
At that level, military rank represents only different backgrounds.
Officers treat their non-commissioned officers and soldiers as close as brothers.
There is no way. We have experienced too many life and death situations together. If the relationship is not good, then just wait for death.
After returning, Luke found Li first.
I talked to him a lot about the military.
Captain Li's old John was still a little awed.
There is no way, in the children's hearts, Old John is both a father and a tyrant.
He made decisions without caring what the children thought.
But Luke grew up with them, and they truly treated Luke like their big brother Qin.
Luke also gave Lee his connections in the military.
But Lee was sensible and didn't use Luke's relationship to do anything.
Sometimes he didn't even take advantage of Luke's connections when things got tough.
He was happy when Luke talked to him and suggested that he join the army.
That way he could leave the ranch and Old John's tyrannical rule.
But from that time on, because of Luke's persuasion, only his youngest son and Lip were with old John.
He also felt the coldness of the home.
Even Evelyn (Evelyn Dutton, John Sr.'s wife) started to complain.
Only then did I seriously reflect on my past behavior and educational methods towards my children.
So he followed Luke's advice and gradually changed some of his ideas and attitudes.
Finally, this time, taking advantage of Beth's graduation, the relationship with the children has eased a lot.
Luke: There's no big conflict between father and son. Just have a small barbecue. If one meal doesn't work, have another.
You idiots, hurry up and toast to your dad.
If you don’t drink well at one meal, have another one until the relationship is better (you drink well).
