On the coffee table, there were some medicinal herbs and a prescription on how to make the medicine.
Zhen was cleaning up a room that had once belonged to a tenant, and she looked very motivated.
In fact, before she moved in, Lu Ming had already hired workers to clean and paint the entire second floor. All the old furniture was sold, and he only left a few suitcases for the tenant, which have now been vacated.
Over Zhen's gorgeous brocade skirt, she wore a snow-white maid's apron and a dust-proof lace Katyusha hair accessory. The little beauty had a Western maid vibe to her look, and Lu Ming's eyes widened.
"Master, are you really going to stay here for a long time?" Obviously, Zhen's motivation came from Lu Ming's promise.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Yes." After thinking for a while, he said, "There is a small law firm across the street. I will temporarily register there. In addition, in a few days, I will go to school here to see the local customs and practices..."
Originally, I wanted to tell her about the recent situation. We two depend on each other, and now we are definitely the targets of the mastermind behind the conspiracy.
After all, according to northern tradition, she is now also considered a member of the Lu family.
Not to mention, it is very likely that the Zhen family exists just to protect themselves.
But now, looking at her frail appearance, I sometimes wonder if I was too tired that night or if it was just a dream.
But no matter what, I still have to tell her some things.
But the pretty lady was obviously not thinking about this. She would not have any opinion on what she wanted to do. She asked again, "Sir, when will you give up the house over there?"
After moving in with Zhen's, Lu Ming stayed here for one night, and stayed at the Husky Hotel for the rest of the days.
It seems that Zhen positioned herself as a concubine. Since she could not keep her master, this concubine was naturally a failure.
Lu Ming coughed and said, "Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
The lease of the Husky Hotel is about to expire, so there is no need to waste money on renewing it.
"Master, I will make this medicine for you starting tomorrow..." Zhen picked up the prescription on the coffee table with her slender hands and looked at it carefully.
Lu Ming nodded somewhat guiltily, "Okay."
I found an old Chinese doctor and he prescribed some medicine to regulate my body. I thought I'd give it a try, but I don't know if it will work.
Nowadays, I can move around normally, but I can’t do any physical work at all.
Standing up, Lu Ming pointed to the corner of the living room and said, "I'll teach you how to watch TV first, and then I'm going to go to the office across the street to do something."
A large black floor-standing box with a round screen taking up a quarter of the top of the box. The entire screen is only about nine inches. The rest of the space is occupied by various knobs, and the large speaker also takes up a large area.
This is what television is today.
Lu Ming bought this TV for 500 imperial coins, which is almost half a year's salary for a working class person.
Moreover, today's large black box TVs are particularly prone to malfunction and often require repairs, which is an additional expense. Not many hardworking families buy TVs.
Not to mention, in a civilian area like Beiguan.
"Come, I'll teach you..." Lu Ming walked over with a smile, "It's fun inside, there are all kinds of performances and sounds."
But looking at Zhen, the little beauty was obviously not very interested, but she didn't want to spoil her master's sexual desire, so she also stood up gently.
Lu Ming was somewhat helpless. Zhen's education since childhood was completely different from that of normal people. She was very able to endure loneliness. Even if she was alone in a room, she could probably live there for a year without any problem. If she were a normal person, she would go crazy.
…
Regarding the registration of partners in the law firm, there are still some final procedures that require Lu Ming himself to confirm, so Lu Ming came to pick up Wang Daan and go to the legal office of the Beiguan Municipal Committee.
Wang Daan was in a good mood today. When Lu Ming arrived, he hurried downstairs with Lu Ming.
When they got out of the alley, Wang Daan opened his eyes wide when he saw Lu Ming's Snow Dragon Phantom parked next to a telephone pole with its black paint shining brightly, but said nothing.
He has a second-hand car, which he bought for more than 100 yuan and is a model that is about to be scrapped. No matter what, as a lawyer, he still needs a car for convenience.
The formalities went smoothly, and Lu Ming gradually gained a general understanding of the administrative structure and management model of Donghai and its surrounding satellite towns.
It’s similar to the American Progressive Era in previous lives.
Compared with the federal empire, Donghai has a status equivalent to that of autonomous states. It makes its own laws and elects its own city councilors to manage the city.
Moreover, they have a greater degree of autonomy, having been inherited from the free city-states, and have their own armed forces.
The towns and cities around Donghai are nominally under the jurisdiction of Donghai, but they are also autonomous.
Beiguan Town has a population of over 600,000 and 57 members of parliament, who are elected every five years.
The town council then elects a seven-member town board to govern the town.
This group of seven people can be regarded as the real rulers of Beiguan.
On the way back, Wang Daan said with a smile: "The afternoon tea I treated you to yesterday was too shabby. Let's find a nice restaurant today and treat you well. It would be best if Mr. Zhou could come too. He has helped me a lot."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Okay, go back to the office and give him a call. I'll treat you today."
"No, no, it's my treat!"
The two were vying for the opportunity to treat each other.
The car braked suddenly. Just before it reached the shabby apartment where Wang Daan's office was located, a figure rushed out from the entrance of the alley.
The huge headlight in front of the black phantom almost knocked the other party down, but fortunately the brakes were applied in time.
"Ms. Pamela?! Are you okay?" Wang Daan got out of the car in a hurry.
Lu Ming was also stunned. The person who was almost hit by the car was Pamela. This was probably the only decent outfit she had, and it was the red sexy lady's puffy skirt. She probably washed it and kept it for daily wear when going out.
However, unexpectedly, Wang Daan also knew her.
Then he felt relieved, because the laundry shop and the apartment where the law firm was located were only separated by a narrow street, and in this area, there was only one law firm, Wang Daan's.
Not many people would open a law firm here.
Westerners have a long tradition of liking to sue, so it is natural for Pamela and Wang Daan to know each other.
Over there, seeing Wang Daan getting out of the car, Pamela's pretty face was full of anger, "How did you drive?!" But then, as if she had thought of something, her expression relaxed a little, and she said, "Wang Bian, you came at the right time, Bisi got into some trouble, come and help her!"
Wang Da'an was stunned when Pamela called him "Wang Bian", which is the respectful title for lawyers in Donghai traditional customs.
However, Pamela still used that accusatory and commanding tone, and Wang Daan was no longer surprised.
"Don't be anxious, tell me slowly, what's going on?" Wang Daan was a little flattered by her attitude and asked cautiously.
Pamela snorted, "This child is so disobedient. She told me she was going to school, but she went to work in a small restaurant. She was sued, but she didn't dare to tell me. Now she is in the other party's office. I only found out about it when her boss called her."
Wang Da'an scratched her head for a while. Her daughter was really smart, cute and well-behaved, but Beiguan was a small place and few people dared to argue with Westerners. The fact that she was being sued now showed that the matter was not trivial.
Lady Pamela is really difficult to serve. By then, she will be like a rat in a bellows, being bullied from both sides.
"Brother Wang, come and talk." Lu Ming waved at the side.
Pamela then noticed Lu Ming and frowned slightly: "Why are you here?"
Lu Ming smiled at her and asked Wang Daan in a low voice, "Don't you want to care?"
Wang Daan said in a low voice with a bitter face: "Lawyer Lu, you don't know that Madam Pamela is not easy to mess with..."
Lu Ming waved his hand and coughed, "Then let me do it." Little Bisi is very cute. She even gave him an umbrella yesterday morning.
Wang Daan was stunned, "This..."
Lu Ming smiled at Pamela and said, "I'm also a lawyer. Let's go check it out. Let's get in the car."
Pamela looked at him suspiciously, and Wang Daan laughed dryly, "Yes, this is my partner, Lawyer Lu Qianxing."
Pamela looked Lu Ming up and down, hesitated for a moment, opened the car door and got in.
…
The Snow Dragon Phantom drove slowly. After all, there were many pedestrians on the street, and some cyclists were rushing around recklessly.
Pamela was distracted.
Lu Ming knew that she must be very anxious, but she was unwilling to show it.
She would rather drop out of school than have an abortion. Lu Ming still admires her very much. After all, a fetus is actually a life.
So, she must love her daughter very much.
Glancing at Pamela, Lu Ming sighed inwardly, his mind a little dazed. Pamela was indeed beautiful, with a great figure. Coupled with her traditional Western noblewoman attire, she looked as dazzling as those supermodels in gorgeous puffy skirts on the catwalk in his previous life.
Let yourself feel dazed, as if you have returned to the past.
Just look at her elegantly carrying a delicate handbag, her red skirt tightly wrapped around her slender figure, and her seductive lines on the catwalk, which are bound to attract countless flashes of light.
The hem of her puffy skirt revealed a pair of snow-white feet wearing red strappy high heels, painted with a light and alluring green nail polish. The sexy curve of the red high heels made her feet present an extremely beautiful curve, a mixture of elegance and sexiness, which was extremely charming.
"Can't you see enough?"
Pamela's voice brought Lu Ming back to his senses, but he saw her biting her red lips and looking at him with disdain.
"I hope you'll focus all your attention on the trouble my daughter is causing! Besides, you're driving too slowly!"
Lu Ming was helpless. He was not distracted as she thought. It was because of her fashion sense that reminded him of many past events.
Not wanting to bother paying attention to her, he stepped on the accelerator and the sports car sped away with a bang.
The other party’s law firm is obviously the top one in Beiguan. It is located in the only 15-story office building in Beiguan, which is the Jiniao Building.
This area is considered the CBD area of Beiguan. Beiguan’s most luxurious shopping malls are all located in this area.
The technology company registered by Lu Ming and the office reserved are also in this Jiniao Building.
The other party’s law firm is on the fourth floor of Jiniao Building, and is called “Liu Hanming Litigation Firm.”
It is a very large law firm with many rooms, occupying almost half of this floor. It looks like there are at least seven or eight lawyers.
Pamela acted as usual when she arrived at the front desk. She stood elegantly with a delicate handbag on her shoulder and said in a condescending tone, "I am Bis's mother, and this is my representative lawyer. What right do you have to ask my daughter to solve the problem with you? She is only eight years old, and you are illegally detaining her!"
The receptionist in a beige suit was startled, but it was obvious that she knew what the matter was about. After all, it was very rare to have a dispute with a Westerner, and Westerners were not often seen in Beiguan.
"Ma'am, please don't be anxious. Your daughter is accompanied by an adult. Come, please, I will take you to see her."
Pamela nodded slightly.
