The cafeteria in Liberty Building is a buffet style restaurant with a wide variety of dishes.
There is only one single room, which is exclusively for Lu Ming. Outside the window is a colorful flower garden. When the window is open, bursts of floral fragrance waft in, bringing the scent of spring.
Seeing Jin Bao still looking excited, Lu Ming laughed, "Why, you are so scared that you can't speak since you saw the young mistress. The older you get, the more cowardly you become."
Jinbao insisted on kowtow to the young lady. In addition to Hanzhu, Lu Ming also asked Pamela to stay at home. No matter what, he wanted her to meet Jinbao.
They chatted for a while at home, but seeing that Jinbao was very reserved, even though the family had prepared food, Lu Ming still took Jinbao to the Freedom Building for lunch.
I also want him to know that I don't need him to worry about me anymore and I just want him to follow my arrangements.
Jin Bao fought and killed in Montenegro, but in fact, he also wanted to make a name for himself so that he could protect himself one day.
"Master, you, you also married a Western lady..." Jin Bao scratched his head for a long time before saying this.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "In my eyes, there is no distinction between ethnic groups, so don't be surprised." He sighed again, "What a pity, now that you are here, I have to leave too. I should have spent a few days with you."
The municipal meeting for the first half of the month just happened to end yesterday, and there was nothing else I needed to deal with for the time being, so I took a good opportunity to go to Longgang for a visit.
I wanted to take Bizhu with me, but actually I just wanted to take Hanzhu out to relax, because I felt that the mansion should be safe during this period and there was no need for Bizhu to be there.
But it seems that ever since she and Nicole were attacked and Bizhu had consumed too much energy and fallen into a deep sleep, she and Hanzhu seemed to have integrated their control over their bodies very well and had a clear division of labor. Hanzhu would appear during the day, and Bizhu would appear at night after Hanzhu had rested.
As a result, Kuroki Saori has to hide during the day and come out at night, and the night is the time for Biju to train her.
So, there is no need to forcefully summon Bizhu out. Just wait and talk to her tonight.
"Where are you going, young master?" Jin Bao asked expectantly, obviously wanting to follow you as well. He had just seen the young master and didn't want to be separated from him for even a moment.
Lu Ming waved his hand, "Don't worry about it, I have already arranged for you to go to college."
Jin Bao was stunned. "Ah?"
"Imperial Oriental Comprehensive University. It sounds impressive, but it's not a good university. You can't get into a good university. It's a third-rate university. I wrote a letter of recommendation and spent some money to get you in."
"Young Master, you are even more impressive than the old man!" Jin Bao was a little excited. After all, only the top celebrities could be recommended to go to university, and the old man did not have such a reputation. Even for the university in his hometown's provincial capital, the old man was not qualified to write a celebrity recommendation letter, let alone the university in Donghai.
Lu Ming said helplessly, "You're focusing on this point. Besides, I've bought you an apartment near the university and a car. They're all in your name. You just need to study there peacefully. Someone will deposit living expenses into your account every month. I'm telling you, if you have some spare money, don't think about joining any clubs. Just go to school and don't mess around. Study hard, graduate well, and come out to help me with things."
Jin Bao looked at Lu Ming with a bitter face, "Master, you may have forgotten that I can barely read..."
"Go to college and learn. We will find a tutor for you. Besides, going to college is to broaden your horizons and experience the humanities. I don't expect you to learn any professional skills. Just think of it as a prison sentence. It's just a change in your lifestyle. I don't want you to get involved in violence and lose your life one day."
Lu Ming said with a smile: "Besides, go in there and have a relationship. If you meet a female college student you like and pursue her, isn't that interesting? It's time for you to get married."
Jin Bao smiled bitterly: "How can I be worthy?" Female students, they are people who should be respected to the highest degree, female college students? They are just legends, I have never seen them, they should be like fairies.
"What's the point of being compatible? Even if you're not compatible, you still have the freedom to pursue love." Lu Ming found it even more funny when he saw Jin Bao scratching his head. Just as he was about to say something, someone knocked on the door. Datou's voice said, "Boss."
Lu Ming agreed. After hearing the title of "Lord" for a long time, he felt that it was a bit too much. They didn't know its deep meaning, but he knew it. After hearing it too many times, he felt uncomfortable. Therefore, he changed their usual address back to "Boss". However, in secret telegrams and documents, they could use "Lord" as their address.
Datou came in and nodded to Jinbao, knowing that this little brother was the boss's loyal servant and no one else could compare to him.
He looked at Lu Ming again: "Boss, the pistol team is ready."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Okay, we won't spend our money, and we can use all the good things."
Ask Christine to set up a pistol team, which is the county governor's guard.
Although it is called a pistol team, in fact, it is the same as the pistol guards of senior officers of the same period in previous lives, and is equipped with the most sophisticated close combat weapons.
This 30-man pistol team is all equipped with submachine guns, grenades, bulletproof vests and other items. In short, they are equipped with the most advanced equipment for close combat soldiers today, and they are also equipped with several snipers.
When I'm not around, Mr. Gong should be safe.
Turning around, he saw the flames dancing in Jin Bao's eyes. His lips moved slightly, and he wanted to say something, but Lu Ming glared at him and said, "Focus on your studies, don't think about this!"
Big Head clapped his hands again, and three armed men walked in from outside. They were all around thirty years old and looked very ordinary. They could not be found in the crowd.
Big Head pointed at them one by one, "Thunderstorm, Black Wind, and Student Zhao."
Every time they pointed to one, the three of them stood at attention and saluted Lu Ming.
Lu Ming nodded. Lei Bao and Hei Feng were sharpshooters and also had super fighting abilities. Zhao was a powerful sniper.
All three of them were selected from the best of the joint matrix, and they will be Sun Bo's bodyguards in the future.
Seeing Jin Bao's envious eyes, Lu Ming smiled and said, "The same thing, study hard!"
Jinbao looked pitiful and shook his head and sighed.
…
The railway line from Donghai to Heishan City, Jiangning is more than a thousand kilometers long. If you take the express train, it will take eleven or twelve hours to get there.
On the train, looking at Master Gong's attire, Lu Ming was slightly dazed, as if he had traveled through time.
The black uniform with four pockets, similar to a Zhongshan suit, has a bit of the style of a county magistrate in the Republic of China.
In fact, when Pamela heard that she had become a county magistrate, she just wanted to join in the fun and take a look.
His own words were, "When I get you the position of mayor of Montenegro, you can go back and see. If you go there now, you will have to be respectful to a small mayor, which I think is awkward and unfair to you. When you become the mayor, the provincial governors will all be old men, and we will just respect them."
Montenegro is rich in resources. We must strive to make it our own private land. When the time comes, you will be indispensable, right? Your outstanding abilities and stunning beauty must be used to the best effect.
Pamela's heart melted after hearing the tender, heroic and boastful love words. She even did not try to stop him when he took the opportunity to do something inappropriate.
When Lu Ming thought of that scene on the train, he couldn't help but feel that he was really good at speaking.
As for Bizhu, she did not come. She said that the mansion on Hepu Road could not be lost.
I thought that my ginseng supplements and the like were all in the mansion, and they might be crucial to my health. Even on this trip to the countryside, I brought a dozen pills with me, and I had to take one every two days.
The pill is carried by the blackhead.
Blackhead was the one that Biju brought to the countryside herself.
She seemed to be the most promising black slave. Biju had been training her every night for more than six months.
I don’t know how black she is. I feel that they all look the same. Since she is the best among the black slaves, I might as well change her name to Blackhead.
…
In Heishan City, Mr. Gong was obviously treated coldly. Not to mention the mayor, deputy mayor and the like, he didn't even meet the director of the Government Affairs Bureau.
Jiangning Province, an administrative power structure of three departments and eight bureaus.
At the lower-level cities, there are three bureaus and eight committees.
At the county level, there are still three committees and eight departments.
The three provincial secretaries are the Chief Secretary, the Attorney General and the Financial Secretary.
The Government Affairs Bureau of Heishan City corresponds to the provincial governor's office, and personnel changes are the responsibility of the Government Affairs Bureau.
Mr. Gong went to the Government Affairs Bureau with the letter of appointment as the county's assistant governor. He was received by a junior section chief, who also sent a junior clerk to accompany him to the office.
From Heishan City to Longgang County, we took a bus. The road was full of potholes and it was bumpy all the way. It took more than three hours to get there.
In Heishan City, private cars are almost invisible in the urban area, and this is even more so in Longgang County.
The county town has a population of more than 20,000, all of which are built in traditional northern-style houses. There are only three buildings in the entire county town, all of which are two-story.
The two-story building is the county office, and the two-story building opposite the county office is the county guesthouse.
The other two-story building is the shopping mall of the county department store.
The economic system of the entire Jiangning has always been in chaos, because every Western governor has tried to find ways to plunder.
If a private enterprise that is not in the governor's interest circle makes money, he will find a way to confiscate it and then sell it at a low price to relatives and friends. When it can no longer be operated, it will be redeemed by the government at a high price.
This is exactly what happened with the Longgang County Department Store. The owner was sentenced three years ago and the mall has become directly managed by the county government.
No wonder even the steel and oil super companies are afraid of entering the five provinces south of the Yangtze River.
This is a centralized world where capital can only stand aside.
Fila Petroleum only wanted to invest in the stadium project and had no intention of using local resources, but it also failed.
…
Lu Ming is Director Gong’s good friend and is here to invest.
We stayed in the guesthouse opposite the county government office. This two-story hotel had an inner corridor and was just like a school dormitory building.
The first floor is full of rooms with four beds, and half of the rooms on the second floor are four-person rooms, and the other half are two-person rooms.
Lu Ming booked three double rooms. He and Heitou lived in one, Sun Bo and classmate Zhao lived in one, and Lei Bao and Hei Feng lived in one.
Just after checking in, someone knocked on Lu Ming's door. It was a man who claimed to be the manager of the guesthouse. His surname was Guo.
Heitou was busy changing the sheets and bedding he brought from the East China Sea for his master.
Seeing that it was a dark-skinned maid, Manager Guo's eyes flashed with contempt.
Who would bring a black slave girl with them when traveling? Black slaves should be chained and work at home.
Even the local rich men in this county would not do such a thing.
It's just pretending to be rich and trying to look rich.
Originally, it should be some kind of personal letter from the old man. He finally has a relative who is an official, so naturally he would come and try to get some benefits.
He is probably just a second-rate guy from the East China Sea who borrowed money to buy a black slave girl for show.
Manager Guo muttered to himself, but smiled: "Mr. Lu, are you used to living here? Longgang is a country town. You came from Donghai. Look at this place. Isn't it like a doghouse? But I can't help it. I'm sorry to have to put up with you!"
Blackhead rolled his eyes and thought that even the owner's doghouse doesn't smell as bad as here. We clean it very cleanly every day. If the dog wasn't sprayed with perfume, it would hurt its sense of smell. I'm afraid the dog would have to smell fragrant every day.
Lu Ming on the other side smiled and said, "It's good, it's good."
"What industry did you work in before, Mr. Lu?" Manager Guo asked with a smile.
"I'm helping out at the law firm." Lu Ming chatted with him casually. This man was just trying to get him to talk, to find out what Director Gong's background was, what his relative did, which industry he wanted to plunder, whether he would take advantage of their business, etc.
"Oh? I heard that lawyers in Donghai earn a lot, right?" Manager Guo shook his head and said, "Lawyers who help criminals can make a lot of money, so where can they seek justice?" He laughed and said, "Law firms here are not good. There seem to be very few law firms in the city. In Longgang County, there is not even a single law firm. Lawyers can't even make a living."
After a pause, he smiled at Lu Ming and said, "Mr. Lu, I'm not talking about you."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "I have no right to sue here anyway, it's okay."
Manager Guo naturally did not understand the professional rules of lawyers and thought that he was just an errand boy for the lawyers.
Blinking her eyes, she asked, "Mr. Lu, are you planning to develop in Longgang?" She felt more and more that this young man was simple-minded, so she spoke more and more bluntly, and her rhetoric turned into questions.
Lu Ming nodded honestly: "I want to see the coal mine here."
Manager Guo's face immediately flashed with a mocking smile, but it was fleeting. He thought for a moment and said with a smile, "It seems that Director Gong can fully represent the Western county magistrate, right?"
Lu Ming shook his head: "I don't quite understand either."
Manager Guo smiled and said, "Look, brother, you and I hit it off right away. If Director Gong can really represent the county magistrate, I'll show you a way. Together, we can take over the contract for that department store. Even though it's losing a lot of money now, it can be quite profitable if we run it ourselves. As for other industries, you'd better not touch them."
Lu Ming looked at him helplessly. With your unscrupulous behavior of wanting to form a partnership with others without even saying a few words, it would be strange if any serious person would cooperate with you.
Looking at the time on the wall, Lu Ming asked, "Manager Guo, can you recommend a restaurant here? It has to be clean. Whether it's delicious or not is secondary."
Manager Guo thought to himself that it was just as expected. He was like a dog in the city, but now he starts to act pretentiously in the countryside.
With a smile on his face, he said, "Come, I'll take you to a place that's guaranteed to be affordable and hygienic, and the food is good!"
