There were two portable chairs in front of the desk, on which sat the campaign director Murong Xue and deputy campaign director Gong Shiye.
Mr. Gong is in his sixties. He has a goatee and small, blinking eyes. He doesn't look like a good guy.
But he has a lot of campaign experience, and he used to work in the West District and in Western campaign offices.
He is a very sensible person, without the problems of an "expert", respects Murong Xue enough, and definitely defines his position as the second in command of the campaign office.
However, he also vaguely mentioned yesterday that it turned out that his son was a lawyer, and it was because of this that he knew Lawyer Lu and was willing to help Lawyer Lu in the election.
His son works in a law firm in a neighboring state. There is no other way because the competition in the Donghai legal industry is too fierce.
Before being suspended, his son decisively resigned and went to a neighboring state, and is now doing well.
However, as a father, he certainly hopes that his son can return to Donghai to develop, so that he can have grandchildren in the future and enjoy the happiness of family life together.
Looking at Master Gong, Lu Ming always found it quite funny. Master Gong was really called Master Gong. The meaning of the name was similar to that of his master in his previous life. However, the appearance and behavior of this old gentleman were similar to those of the military strategists in the movies and TV shows in his previous life.
Now, Lu Ming is talking to the two secretaries about launching the "Return to the Family" campaign concept in various communities in the third constituency.
If I were elected, I would do my best to help community residents so that they could have more time to enjoy the warmth of family life. I also hope that residents would not neglect their families because of the hustle and bustle of life.
This inspiration naturally came from the Gao family.
I will promise that if I am elected as a councillor of the third district, I will plan to build community canteens in every community. The environment inside will be very good, the ingredients will be the same as cooking at home, and the price will not be more expensive than cooking at home. It will be a welfare for the community.
In this way, community residents will save time on daily necessities. After work, they can return home and live a relaxed life. They will also have more time to spend with their families.
Murong Xue and Master Gong listened and nodded repeatedly.
Mr. Gong smiled flatteringly, "Boss, you are indeed a top lawyer. You have tons of ideas. I have also helped many West District and East District councillors in their election campaigns, but their brains are far worse than yours. What's more, you are really benefiting the people."
Lu Ming smiled and said that this was also a reference to the community canteen model in Singapore. It should be available in the third district since it is mostly middle-class. However, for most communities, this concept is just a castle in the air.
Looking at Master Gong, "You have been working as a campaign assistant since you were young, and have served many congressmen to help them campaign. But in the end, no congressman kept you in their office. Is it because you don't want a job that's too easy? Or is there some other reason?"
Master Gong held up his goatee and said, "Alas, a handful of bitter tears, better not to mention them." He blinked his eyes and said, "Boss, what does the notice issued by the Justice Party this morning mean? Why don't I understand it?"
Early this morning, the Justice Party published a statement in all morning newspapers in Beiguan.
Party leader Gao Depei officially resigned from all positions within the party and instead worked behind the scenes to offer advice and suggestions to the party. He was awarded the honorary title of lifelong party leader.
Ms. Gao Wangling will succeed her husband as the new leader of the Justice Party.
Then, there was propaganda about Ms. Gao Wangling’s noble character, and that she would lead the entire party to benefit Beiguan.
These are all very formal and official press releases.
But at the end of the press release, when announcing the changes in the party's candidates for council seats in various constituencies and expressing support for independent council candidates from its own allies in some constituencies, it also announced that in the election for the third district council seat, the entire Justice Party supported candidate Lu Qianxing.
Just like praising those allied independent parliamentary candidates, candidate Lu Qianxing was also highly praised.
Ordinary people certainly couldn't see anything, but in party circles, this statement was like a bombshell.
Because originally, the Justice Party had already completely sided with the Baclo family, and everyone knew it.
Another candidate in the third district, Cao Ying, switched constituencies with Mrs. Jia, the daughter-in-law of the Baklo family, clearly showing that he had the support of the Baklo family.
Now, with a new party leader, the Justice Party has completely changed its mind? Is it going to form an alliance with the Grand Ecumenical Party
But this was not mentioned in the statement.
Master Gong was naturally very confused.
Lu Ming frowned. He had also seen this notice this morning and felt a little upset when he thought about it.
He waved his hand: "Ignore them, let's go at our own pace."
"Okay!" Master Gong always doesn't ask questions that shouldn't be asked.
"Okay, today is Sunday, I'm going to take half a day off this afternoon!" Lu Ming stretched.
"Boss, you need to rest more. You're too tired every day! You should serve the people wholeheartedly!" Master Gong said hurriedly.
Murong Xue was originally going to advise her boss to rest more, but she had to swallow her words.
…
Borna Amusement Park is the only amusement park in Beiguan with a huge Ferris wheel facing Building 1 of Zuo'an Garden.
On Sunday, the playground was bustling with people and children playing.
Lu Ming and Jin Meizhen sat on a bench. Next to them was green grass dotted with dandelions.
Kim Mi-jeong was holding a big ice cream, with a sweet smile on her little face.
She was wearing a snow-white dress, as pure as the clouds in the sky.
A sweet and bitter music seemed to ring in Lu Ming's ears. It was his favorite song during his school days.
"Why didn't you ask me out last week?" Lu Ming asked with a smile.
"I heard from my sister that you are very busy, so I don't want to disturb you or become a burden to you."
Lu Ming nodded gently, looking at this sweet and innocent girl, his heart seemed to soften as well.
His eyes then looked towards a distance, where two figures, one big and one small, were looking at themselves in a funhouse mirror and laughing. They were Kim Mi-yeon and Bis.
They both wore the same snow-white dress as Kim Mi-jeong, but their temperaments were completely different. Bis was more like a cute little doll princess, while Kim Mi-yeon had long orange hair, and the nail polish and tattoos on her snow-white feet in crystal sandals, against the backdrop of the snow-white dress, she looked more charming and seductive like a bad girl pretending to be pure.
"It's our first date, and you brought your sister, a burden!" Lu Ming said with a smile, and then he remembered that he also brought Bisi. After all, Bisi had wanted to come to this amusement park for a long time, and he rarely had a half-day off, so he had long wanted to bring Bisi here to play.
"I am willing to play with me only when Qianxing is here. Otherwise, I ignore you and think I am a child." Jin Meizhen sighed slightly, as if she had discovered a new world. "Qianxing, I call you uncle, Bisi also calls you uncle, but I call you Qianxing. Is that right? In Qianxing's eyes, I am no longer a child?"
Lu Ming coughed and said, "It's up to each of us, but if you want to, then what? Otherwise, Bisi calls you aunt?" He laughed as he said that.
“Don’t…” Jin Meizhen stared at Lu Ming, “Brother Qianxing, you’re still treating me like a child and teasing me!” She stretched out her little head and nudged Lu Ming’s chest, “What kind of boyfriend are you!”
Lu Ming laughed out loud, feeling a rare sense of joy in his heart.
There was even a moment when I almost hugged this innocent elementary school bully into my arms, but then I realized that I was not really just thirteen or fourteen years old, and what was I doing in my first love? I should just do my job as a tool.
"Bisi, let's go and ride the Ferris wheel together!" Lu Ming turned around and shouted.
Bisi immediately ran over happily, hugged Lu Ming's neck and whispered in his ear: "Uncle, are you and Meizhen's love affair over?"
Lu Ming coughed, and suddenly felt guilty, and whispered, "Don't tell mom that I'm in a relationship when you get home."
Bis giggled: "I know." Her fingers made a zipper motion on her little mouth.
…
After getting off the Ferris wheel, Lu Ming still felt a little overwhelmed.
We originally booked a cabin for six people, and I booked one for myself.
He, Mi-jeong and Bi-si sat on one side, and Kim Mi-yeon sat on the other.
Who would have thought, it was fine at the beginning, but after the Ferris wheel rose higher, Meizhen and Bisi became very brave and chattered non-stop while looking at the scenery outside.
Kim Mi-yeon was so scared that she suddenly started crying. Her face turned pale and she closed her eyes tightly, as if she was about to faint.
Bisi was very brave. She unbuckled her seat belt to go see her sister Meiyan, and she even scared herself.
Finally, for Bis's safety, and at the suggestion of Bis and Mi-jeong, he had to drag Kim Mi-yeon over to sit next to him, while Bis was held on his lap.
After one circle of the Ferris wheel, Kim Mi-yeon cried for most of the circle while holding her arms, which made Kim Mi-jeong worried about her sister. She no longer cared about the situation and kept coming over to comfort her sister.
I didn't have any fun at all, my head was buzzing, and it was already very annoying.
Is it reasonable for a troubled girl with tattoos all over her body to be afraid of heights
Although, it seems that there has never been any specific connection between fear of heights and personality.
Moreover, there were no camera phones in this era, otherwise people would zoom in and take pictures, and he would be like taking advantage of three little girls on the Ferris wheel. From a distance, three beautiful and cute little girls in white gauze skirts were squeezed on him and crying. How wretched was this man? The sisters Jin Meizhen looked like they were about sixteen or seventeen, and they were pure, innocent girls of eight or nine years old.
…
Every few steps in the amusement park, there is a fairy-tale gingerbread food house, which is also filled with the sweet smell of candy. There are various wallpapers, small tables and chairs, all of which are very beautiful.
Lu Ming and the three little girls sat at a table inside and ordered some cool drinks.
"Uncle, I'm sorry..." Jin Mi Yan's eyes were red. She took a napkin and wanted to wipe Lu Ming's arm, but she didn't dare.
The snot from her crying was all on Lu Ming's sleeves. Although it had been wiped clean, some traces could still be seen faintly.
“Forget it!” Lu Ming looked at those pitiful pairs of eyes and knew that they could see that he was unhappy.
In fact, I am not unhappy, I just feel overwhelmed.
"Did you have fun today?"
Jin Meizhen and Bisi nodded immediately.
Jin Miyan also nodded, and Lu Ming looked at her: "Well, you had fun too!"
Jin Mi Yan was startled and said quickly: "No, no..." But she felt that this answer was wrong and became more flustered.
Lu Ming smiled helplessly: "Okay, okay! As long as you are happy, then after drinking the drinks, go shopping in the mall and I will buy some gifts for each of you."
Suddenly I feel that it is easiest and easiest to deal with women, no matter how big or small, if I throw them into a shopping mall and just wait to pay without following them around.
This amusement park and the like are really exhausting.
Bis cheered, "Okay, I want the Tucker doll!" It is a new model released by New World Toys, a subsidiary of Hua Xia Clothing Industry, and is very popular among children.
Soon, the little girls started chattering happily.
Looking at these little girls, Lu Ming picked up the drink and took a sip. Although he didn't want to admit it in his heart, seeing how happy they were, although their chattering seemed annoying, he had to say that this trip to the amusement park was worth it. He was in a good mood as well, and the irritability of the past few days seemed to have been swept away. In addition, the soft voices of the chattering young girls were quite enjoyable to his ears.
…
The east area on the 3rd floor of New Era Shopping Mall is the clothing and toy area for girls and young children.
Sitting on the bench in the corridor at the entrance of the area, Lu Ming looked at the "contract" in his hand and couldn't help laughing.
Jin Meizhen took advantage of the opportunity when no one was around and handed it to her.
But what I mean is that today's date allows me to pretend to be a rich man and satisfy the superiority of dating Cinderella, but every time I go on a date in the future, she will have to choose the location and pay for it.
That little girl, I can’t make you poor by eating you.
Lu Ming laughed when thinking about it. When she graduated, all the money she had saved for college and broadening her horizons was spent on dating this pretty boy like him. It was funny to think about it.
Even if you get a full scholarship, you still have to apply for a student loan before you can see the world.
Just when I was finding it funny, I saw Jin Mi Yan hurried out, looking a little flustered.
"What's wrong?" Lu Ming was a little surprised, "Where are Meizhen and Bisi?"
"Oh, I wasn't with them..."
Lu Ming suddenly realized that the things Jin Mi Yan was looking at were naturally different from those two little girls.
"Uncle, I saw Gou Ya, and it seemed like he saw me too..." Jin Mi Yan said in a low voice.
"What Dog Tooth?" Lu Ming reacted after he finished speaking. It seemed that he was the boss behind the scenes who lent money to Jin Mi Yan. Originally, Jin Mi Yan borrowed money from the bad girls in the billiard room who she thought she could play with, but the boss behind several of them who dropped out of school early was actually this Dog Tooth.
I originally planned to take care of these loan sharks, but I was too busy and forgot about these cats and dogs.
"See it and see it..." Before Lu Ming finished his words, the thick plastic door curtain of the clothing area was lifted. This thick plastic door curtain was used to maintain the cool air temperature of the air conditioner in the area.
A buck-toothed man walked out, wearing a black shirt and black pants, with his chest and belly exposed, holding a seductive woman in a cheongsam.
He saw Jin Mi Yan, but did not say anything. He looked at Lu Ming again, and was about to walk past the bench with his female companion.
"Gouya, are you Gouya?" Lu Ming suddenly spoke.
The bucktoothed man turned around and grinned, "Sir, if you want to give me a slap, I'll take it!" He pushed the woman aside and said, "I know I can't afford to offend you, so you can do whatever you want with me!"
Lu Ming smiled. This guy is still single and understands people’s hearts.
I think he thought that no matter who had Kim Mi-yeon's power, he certainly couldn't afford to offend her. Therefore, when he saw Kim Mi-yeon, he had no intention of harassing her or anything like that. He just pretended not to know her.
And if Kim Mi-yeon's current financial sponsor wants to punish him in order to make the beauty smile, he can understand the mentality of these big bosses, so he just needs to wait to be punished.
Lu Ming stretched out his hand, and immediately a burly man came over, picked up the dog tooth like a chicken, and went into the storage room next door.
The coquettish woman turned pale with fright and dared not say a word.
A few minutes later, a burly man limped out with Dogtooth in front and behind. His face looked unrecognizable and blood was flowing from the corners of his mouth. He spat out a mouthful of blood with two teeth in it.
Lu Ming looked at him and said, "You think you are single. If you meet someone else, I'm afraid he will let you go. Maybe he will thank you for being a matchmaker in his heart, right?"
"But I'm different. I'm just a jerk. If you mess with my woman, I'll dig up your roots! Today's meal is a warning. You leave Beiguan immediately. If I see you again, I'll make it worse. I'll cut off one of your legs! Also, tell the other money lenders to behave themselves. If anyone forces women to become prostitutes or sell their children again, I'll send them to work in coal mines. I don't care if your surname is Wang, Zhao, Liu, or Bucklo. It's all the same! Do you understand?"
Gou Ya spat out a mouthful of blood and said expressionlessly, "Master, can I go now?"
Lu Ming frowned: "Still being aggressive?"
The burly man came over immediately and carried the dog tooth into the utility room.
"Master, master, please don't hit him, you will kill him!" The seductive woman ran to the door of the utility room and took a look, then immediately ran back, knelt down and begged, and even crawled over to hug Lu Ming's legs.
Another burly man came over, grabbed her away and kicked her to the ground.
After a while, in the utility room, a burly man took Gou Ya out and threw him on the ground. He could no longer get up.
"Now, do you understand?" Lu Ming raised his voice.
"Master, I understand. I will tell them." Gou Ya uttered these words with difficulty.
"Okay, go away." Lu Ming waved his hand.
The seductive woman ran over as if she had been pardoned, and helped Gou Ya up. The two of them staggered and struggled away.
Looking at the two figures, Lu Ming sighed softly in his heart. But there are some people who cannot be controlled no matter how fierce or cruel they are. Even going to jail is like drinking water and taking a vacation. After they are released, they become even more arrogant. With such a social atmosphere, it is difficult for the law to scare them.
After all, these people are a great threat to society, but their crimes are not punishable by death.
When it comes to kindness, they can sometimes be ten times more cruel than ourselves.
I turned around while thinking randomly, but saw that Jin Mi Yan seemed to be frightened and her face was pale. For a moment, I forgot that she was still there. In the final analysis, I ignored her too much most of the time. If it was Bisi, she would have asked someone to take her away and not pay attention to these things.
"Well, go ahead and go shopping. What are you afraid of? I won't hit you like this!" After Lu Ming said this, he felt that this seemed even more frightening and he couldn't help but laugh.
"Well, sit down and rest for a while." Lu Ming patted the bench.
Jin Mi Yan was so frightened that her legs went weak. She barely managed to sit down by holding onto the back of the chair. She secretly glanced at Lu Ming, then quickly lowered her head.
"The real adult world is scary, right? You're still in the children's circle after all." Lu Ming smiled.
Jin Mi Yan lowered her head and dared not speak.
After a while, Jin Meiyan suddenly whispered, "Uncle, you, you tell Gou Ya that I, I am your woman?"
"When did I say that?" Lu Ming frowned. "You are so young, what are you thinking about?"
"Oh, yes, I heard it wrong!" Jin Mi Yan was so scared that her face turned pale again.
The burly man standing nearby scratched his head, but did not dare to remind the boss, "You really said that just now."
After Lu Ming finished scolding Jin Mi Yan, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have said this just now. Because of habit, he attributed many disputes and things he wanted to do to all kinds of messy reasons.
He coughed and stood up, "Let's go and see what Meizhen and Bisi bought."
Jin Mi Yan quickly stood up and followed Lu Ming obediently towards the children's clothing area.
