When he received the call, Lu Ming was a little surprised.
There have been many happy events these days.
First of all, the Heishan Administrative Office's investigation team on the Er Zeng incident has withdrawn and acknowledged the Longgang County Public Office's accusation against Er Zeng because the evidence was conclusive and there was nothing wrong to find.
There was also a land property dispute involving the Xu family of Shilipu, a small shareholder of Zuodun Coal Mine who led the trouble.
The county court has ruled that the previous county office's order to expropriate Xu Niuzi's ancestral property was illegal.
Now the land has been redeemed from the Xu family by the county office at the original price and returned to Xu Niuzi.
More than 50,000 acres of land were sold to the Xu family for 50,000 yuan, and now the county office has redeemed it for 50,000 yuan.
As for the income that the Xu family has earned from the land over the years, it can be considered as the interest received by the Xu family. As for whether the Xu family and the county office had secretly colluded to occupy the ancestral land of Xu Niuzi, no further investigation will be conducted.
But if the Xu family causes trouble, I'm afraid they will have to settle the accounts from that year.
It seems that the Xu family is not at a disadvantage, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
Over the past hundred years, the descendants of the Xu family have lived a life of luxury. Shilipu was like their private territory, and all the villagers in Shilipu were vassals of their territory. Now they have been forcibly driven away and received only 50,000 yuan in compensation.
How can I live my future life
Moreover, the Xu family members all knew that, in the final analysis, it was because the head of the family was involved in the joint riot by the small shareholders of Zuodun Mine, and the head of the family was the leader.
Nowadays, it's a terrible mess.
As for the land of Shilipu, according to the agreement signed between Lu Ming and Xu Niuzi, now that Lu Ming won the lawsuit, Xu Niuzi got 10%, or more than 5,000 acres of the land, and the remaining nearly 50,000 acres of Shilipu land went into Lu Ming's pocket.
When Lu Ming received this unexpected call, he was also in Shilipu.
Wandering around the Xu family's former luxurious mansion, it has now become his own independent kingdom. When he plans to return to the East China Sea, the house should have been repainted and renovated. He will then live here and get to know the thousands of tenant families who are dependent on him better.
At this time, I received a call from Montenegro.
The person who called was an unexpected person, saying that it was Li Shixuan's sister, Li Xianger.
She is now in Montenegro. If she asks me if I have time to meet her, she will come to Longgang or Sansha Town to visit me in person, so there is no need for Councillor Lu to make the trip.
Li Xiang'er's tone was very gentle and polite, and her voice was very pleasant, extremely soothing.
He had already sued Li Shixuan directly in the provincial capital's urban court, but the judges apparently thought the case was difficult, so they scheduled the trial for a month, giving both parties ample time to mediate among themselves.
Lu Ming thought that he would still be in time if he went back to Donghai to take care of some business.
I was preparing to return to Donghai tomorrow, but I received a call from Li Xianger.
…
Longgang Hotel is now open to the public. The hotel has been newly renovated and has four-person rooms on the first floor, standard rooms with two beds on the second floor, and several suites on the third floor in addition to standard rooms.
Room 109 is a quadruple room. Different from the standard room on the 3rd floor, the quadruple room on the 1st floor and the double room on the 2nd floor can be occupied by strangers. Each person only pays for one bed. The charge for one bed on the 1st floor is 0.30 cents per day.
Li Xiang'er lives in room 109, but in Longgang, it is extremely rare for a female guest to stay alone, so there is no difference between her and living in a single room alone.
She was so brave that she actually came here by herself by bus.
Lu Ming had investigated Li Xiang'er's husband Hu Dingjin, who was the most important figure in the Hu family, the elder brother of the Governor-General's wife Hu, and the cousin of Commander Hu. He was currently the Director of the Finance Department, one of the three departments of Jiangning Province. However, this man was particularly honest and frugal.
As the God of Wealth of Jiangning Province, it seems that he has never had any special benefits transfer with any company.
He is also very self-disciplined. He never takes the bus provided by the Financial Secretary to do personal things, but prefers to ride a bicycle around.
To be honest, as the head of one of the three divisions, even if he had a legitimate income, his annual salary would be around 7,000 yuan, which was more than enough to buy a car. However, he seemed to have little money left after sponsoring an orphanage, and he might not like tools like cars.
It is precisely this person who is actually the core figure of the greedy Hu family group and the backbone of all of them.
When Lu Ming received the call, he was a little surprised to hear that this Goddess of Wealth lived in 109. In today's era, it was rare for a wife to do such superficial things.
When he saw Li Xiang'er in person, Lu Ming secretly praised her in his heart, saying she was amazing.
Li Xiang'er, as the wife of the head of the Third Division, dressed very simply, just like the female cadres in the countryside, wearing khaki clothes, blue jacket, blue pants, yellow socks with laces, and black cloth shoes. She was of course very beautiful, with a white face, short hair, and a gentle and pretty appearance, with a unique gentle temperament.
"We're discussing a 10 million dispute here!" Lu Ming smiled.
Li Xianger poured a glass of water from the thermos and handed it to Lu Ming, who was stunned and took it.
Li Xianger sighed softly, "Mr. Lu, you don't have to ridicule me. I know that many people think that the deposit is hypocritical. Mr. Lu probably thinks so too. In fact, the deposit has never been what people think. After marrying me, he has been wronged in order to accommodate me."
"As for me, I grew up in the countryside. My father favored boys over girls. Xiaoxuan and I were twins. After we were born, my father sent us to my grandmother's house in the countryside. Our life was always hard. When I was a child, I sometimes didn't even have enough to eat."
"At that time, I could only go to the city to see my father once during the Chinese New Year. My father also asked me to call Xiaoxuan brother, even though my grandmother said that I was born first."
"Until I grew up, one Chinese New Year, my father was on duty at the police station, I went to deliver food to him, and was accidentally hit by a car that was inspecting the deposit..." Li Xianger's pretty face showed a trace of bitterness and shook her head.
"Now, I am Xiaoxuan's sister. Although we were born from the same womb, we haven't lived together for more than ten years. I don't understand him and I can't control him. So, no matter how naughty and mischievous he is, I can't do anything about it."
"But Mr. Lu..." Li Xiang'er looked at Lu Ming with her delicate eyes, "Dingjin really never touched the money. I always knew that Dingjin's family was probably... Dingjin also understood these things. He often couldn't sleep late at night and smoked in silence, but he couldn't control others, so he could only take care of himself..."
Lu Ming waved his hand. "There is a saying in my hometown that no snowflake is innocent in an avalanche. Maybe you are telling the truth, but your husband is in that position and he did not restrain the tribe members. In fact, he was indulgent and tolerant of evil. He even felt that he was at ease and kept himself out of trouble. There is no such thing as that in the world."
"Moreover, do you really know how the huge official-business group composed of the Hu family and its vassals operates internally? Is your husband really not involved?"
“Sometimes, it may be easiest to deceive yourself.”
Li Xiang'er was silent for a while, then nodded gently: "Maybe Mr. Lu is right, but as far as I'm concerned, I can't come up with much money to help my brother, and I didn't tell him about the deposit. Besides, I know what 10 million means. Even if I tell him, even if, as you said, he is the backbone of the tribe and can be assigned to move them, but I need to raise 10 million, I don't think anyone will agree."
Looking at Lu Ming: "Mr. Lu, this bet is ridiculous, isn't it?"
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Not really. I was prepared to pay out 10 million if I lost. This is one of the most powerful pieces of evidence in my favor when I go to court. I have the financial resources to pay the 10 million. So, you say the bet was a joke? That's definitely not right! If I lose, will the court not enforce it because I have enough financial resources?"
Li Xiang'er's pretty face showed a hint of surprise, but she quickly recovered and nodded: "That's because you are rich, Mr. Lu, but my family really can't afford so much money. I hope Mr. Lu can come up with a solution."
Lu Ming nodded: "You came to see me, I think you have a solution, tell me about it. Although, I still insist on getting 10 million, but you took the trouble to think of a solution, I will give you a chance, tell me about it, I will give you 10 minutes."
Li Xianger sighed softly: "That was the method I thought of before meeting Mr. Lu, but after meeting Mr. Lu, I knew it was not feasible. Now, I am at a loss for ideas."
Lu Ming looked at his watch. "Then I'll give you some time. I'll go to my bookstore and see you at three in the afternoon!"
