Chapter 38: Behind the Scenes

Hearing Song Yang's words, Josiah showed joy on his face, pointing at Greg and saying to Song Yang, "Greg is my best collaborator!"

Greg looked at Josiah, who used to be the one and only in the law, and faced Song Yang with a flattering expression, making Greg sigh; the world had truly changed.

Josiah and Song Yang walked towards the golf club, with Josiah complimenting Song Yang from time to time, even in Greg's presence.

Double-click was already the biggest client of Josiah's small law firm. Josiah's biggest fear now was that Song Yang might suddenly leave his small law firm. Josiah had heard that several big law firms were very interested in Double Click Company!

Song Yang's net worth had exceeded $10 million in such a short period. Josiah didn't know how much it would reach if Double-click went public, as the media speculated.

When that happened, Josiah's law firm might serve a listed company. Thinking of this, Josiah's heart burned with anticipation.

And even people like Adrian now had to meet Song Yang, which made Josiah believe that Song Yang had a chance to become a big shot in the future. So he was naturally unwilling to let go.

"Greg, maybe he will become a partner of the law firm, and the name of the law firm might also become Josiah and Greg Law Firm!"

Greg, walking alongside, saw Josiah suddenly turn around and say this with a smile. Although meant as a joke, it still shocked Greg.

A partner of a law firm, a firm with his own name; Greg thought of this. Although he tried to stay calm, the smile on his face stiffened.

Of course, Song Yang could see Josiah's intentions. He wanted to bind Greg to his law firm and secure the legal affairs of Double-Click.

Regarding Josiah's approach, Song Yang said smoothly, "That name sounds good. I look forward to seeing that day!"

Josiah was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Song Yang to agree so directly. But he quickly realized, "I've been looking forward to this day for a long time. Greg is my best partner, and together we make the best lawyer team in Houston. What do you say, Greg?"

Americans are never humble, and they brag a few times when they have nothing to do. At a time like this, it was impossible to refuse. Greg confidently said, "I think so too!"

George became a partner in the law firm, and a portion of the equity was allocated to Greg. Josiah naturally felt a little distressed, but he also recognized Song Yang as "one of his own."

"The person who contacted me this time was Digger, Member Adrian's personal lawyer. Adrian is here today to meet his 'fundraising supporters'!"

Having become "one of his own," Josiah shared with Song Yang what he knew.

Song Yang knew in his heart that fundraising supporters, to put it bluntly, meant meeting big donors. Elections were very expensive. Whether city councilors or congressmen, they had to run for election every few years. Every time was a battle, so those prominent figures of the Federation standing in front of the stage had the backing of a lot of money.

After entering the golf club, Song Yang and others headed to a small dining room. Outside, Song Yang saw Digger, who had been in contact with Josiah, and next to him was a slightly thin middle-aged man.

Seeing Song Yang and others coming, Digger whispered a few words to the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man looked Song Yang up and down a few times, his eyes showing a slightly surprised look—surprised at Song Yang's age. However, he knew who was gathering in the restaurant behind him.

"Please wait a moment!" The middle-aged man said to Song Yang, then pushed open the door of the restaurant and walked in, closing the door firmly behind him.

"That's how Matthews is. Senator Adrian has allowed Song in, and Matthews still needs to report!"

Digger, standing at the door, smiled at Song Yang, mocking Matthews as an old dog loyal only to Adrian.

Hearing that Matthews was Adrian's chief of staff, Song Yang did not underestimate Matthews. He was Adrian's most trusted confidant and knew almost all of Adrian's secrets. He had the right to use Adrian's power, including various private affairs.

A congressman could have many assistants. In places like Los Angeles and New York, a congressman could have more than 30 assistants. But the real confidantes were only the chief of staff, private lawyers, and others.

Digger and Matthews seemed at odds, but they intended to get closer to Song Yang. Digger seemed to have become familiar with Greg in an instant. After all, a multimillionaire. Which lawyer would refuse such a relationship with Song Yang? A chance for upstarts to get closer.

"Song, Senator Adrian invites you in!" After Matthews came out, he opened the restaurant door for Song Yang.

Song Yang nodded to Matthews and went in with Greg and others. As soon as Song Yang entered, he immediately drew the eyes of everyone in the small restaurant.

Song Yang also glanced around. The old white men in their forties and older were all in suits and leather shoes, signifying their status.

"It's the lucky one!"

When Song Yang entered the restaurant, he could vaguely hear a few people whispering about him, and the word "lucky" was mentioned the most. Obviously, this group of people still believed that Song Yang's success was due to luck, stepping on a fortunate opportunity when establishing his company, Double Click.

"Whoa, look who's coming!"

Adrian, who was talking to a few people, saw Song Yang coming in, immediately put down what he was holding, walked toward Song Yang, and said to the people in the restaurant, "This is our Houston genius. Predictions from the Houston media suggest that he will change the future!"

"Kenneth, your style is a bit outdated!"

When passing by, Adrian pointed to a slightly bald man in his fifties, causing the rest to burst into laughter. The middle-aged man teased was not at all annoyed, but rather interestedly looked at Song Yang. "After all, times are changing. We have to look forward!"

"Song, I'm glad you could come to this party!"

Arriving in front of Song Yang, Adrian and Song Yang hugged. Adrian's appearance was not outstanding, but he gave off a friendly vibe, had outstanding eloquence, and was full of appeal.

Adrian introduced Song Yang into the circle, and Matthews quietly took Greg and Josiah aside.

"I have to say, Song, it really exceeded my expectations. You've turned Houston into a technological hub, like Silicon Valley. Double-click will definitely become a big company; I'm sure of it!"

Adrian took a bite, waved the fork, and said to everyone in the circle, including the slightly bald man.
