"Qianxing, you've been working hard lately!"
In the quaint teahouse, the person talking opposite was Wang Qiande, who was smiling and was the director of the Civil Affairs Department, one of the three departments in Jiangning.
The Governor is the representative of the Emperor, and the Secretary for Home Affairs, one of the Three Departments, is the head of the Chief Executive. From a certain perspective, he is similar to the head of a province in the previous life, but the financial and judicial powers are independent, so there are two other departments, namely the Financial Secretary and the Attorney General.
Wang Qiande was a detective by profession and may still have the heart of a detective today. He loves reading detective novels and is also very concerned about police news from all over the empire.
However, Lu Ming still had reservations about his friendliness.
Lu Ming had just returned to Jiangning Provincial Capital after giving a speech at the Andong Provincial Military Academy today, and was invited by Wang Qiande.
After hearing what Wang Qiande said, Lu Ming smiled and said, "I'm destined to be busy, there's nothing I can do about it."
"After the Duke of Hausburg case, I have been wanting to date you, but I felt that you were too busy." Wang Qiande smiled, "You finally came to Jiangning, and you started to be busy with the new army, so I don't want to disturb you unless it's something particularly important."
"Director Wang is too polite. When I come to the provincial capital next time, my first stop will be to visit Director Wang. Please don't find me annoying then!"
Wang Qiande laughed, "How could that be? It's a deal!" He paused, "The investigation of the Duke of Hausburg should have been made with your great contribution, right?"
Lu Ming smiled and said, "I just ran errands for him. However, the Special Investigation Bureau saw how hard I worked and hired me as a consultant."
Wang Qiande was stunned for a moment, then he sighed and said with emotion: "It's a pity that if you want to develop in the police industry, Qianxing, you are too talented. Otherwise, you will definitely be a famous detective in the empire!"
"Come on, let me toast you with tea instead of wine!" Wang Qiande raised the teacup.
Lu Ming smiled and clinked his glass with his.
Wang Qiande took a sip of tea and continued, "The reason I asked you to meet this time is because of this. Your partner is Hu Dingshan. Didn't he switch to the military? He resigned from his position at Heishan Mining not long ago. There have also been a series of changes in the personnel of Heishan City. The position of deputy commissioner of the administrative office is vacant, and I thought of our Longgang County Governor Pan. Although she has been in office for less than a year, the changes that have taken place in Longgang since she took office are obvious to all. The county town is undergoing large-scale construction, the railway has begun to be built, and a steel plant worth hundreds of millions of yuan is about to be built. In addition, the banditry that has been a scourge for many years has been eliminated, and the only remaining Tornado Horse Bandit Gang has also disappeared. It can be said that Governor Pan has made remarkable achievements!"
Lu Ming smiled and said, "She is quite capable." This was not false, although what happened in Longgang had nothing to do with Pamela.
Wang Qiande smiled and said, "So, the responsibility of the deputy commissioner of the Black Mountain Administrative Office must belong to her!"
As he spoke, Wang Qiande took out a red velvet-covered letter of appointment from his briefcase and handed it to Lu Ming. "I heard that she is your good friend, so I can only entrust you to give it to her. I'd also like to trouble Qianxing to persuade her. Please don't refuse, Miss Pan!"
The letter of appointment can actually be seen as a work certificate. Lu Ming took it, looked at the beautiful face in the ID photo, and smiled: "Okay, I promise to fulfill my mission as a lobbyist."
I sneered in my heart. In the political career, when things are going well for a person, good things will happen one after another, but once bad luck comes, everyone will turn against him.
"You must do your best. Thank you in advance!" Wang Qiande raised his teacup again.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Director Wang, you are too polite."
I also wanted to make an appointment with Pamela, because when I was in Anton, I received a call from Mrs. Wilma of the Haussburg family. Mrs. Wilma told me that she needed to talk to Pamela.
Wang Qiande laughed again and said, "To be honest, Governor Chakson is still talking to me about the achievements of Governor Pan!"
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, then nodded, as if thinking about something.
…
The Montenegro Administrative Office and the Urban Court are on the same street. Lu Ming has stayed at the nearby Montenegro Hotel many times.
The seven-story building stands on this long street. At night, the neon signs flicker, making it one of the landmark buildings in Montenegro.
However, today, the best hotel in Montenegro has been acquired by Lu Ming.
The luxury suite No. 3 on the top floor will be specially disinfected and cleaned before Lu Ming checks in every time, and the items specially prepared for Lu Ming, including the mattress, will be temporarily replaced with Lu Ming's exclusive items.
On weekdays, as long as the deluxe suite is still available, Room 3 will not be open to the public unless it is fully booked.
As soon as Pamela came in, Lu Ming picked her up in a bear hug, and her screams gradually turned into whimpering sounds.
"I, I'll take a shower first..."
Hearing this, Lu Ming reluctantly let go of the beauty in his arms and smiled: "You smell good even if you don't wash..."
Indeed, although Pamela had just rushed here from another province, she was still stunningly beautiful. Her ice-blue suit was shining, which made the blonde's devilish figure even more seductive. Her long beautiful legs in snow-white stockings were truly a classic.
After hearing what Lu Ming said, Pamela rolled her eyes, "It's not what you think. Isn't there something important to do? I have to... I couldn't get out of bed for a few days, and I couldn't do anything..." When she said the latter part, her pretty face was hot, and she gave Lu Ming a fierce look with her watery blue eyes, which seemed to sting, and Lu Ming's heart was even more burning with anger.
But it was true that he had important business to attend to and had to meet with Xia Liren, the Commissioner of the Montenegrin Administrative Office.
"I won't be working here in the future, will I?" Pamela asked while taking a bathrobe and toiletries from the suitcase.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "That's not necessary. It would be better to send a chief administrative secretary to help you with the chores. Old Gong is no longer capable of this. He is now the official county governor of Longgang."
Pamela chuckled after hearing this, "This is really strange. Does that mean I can be promoted to a high-ranking official without even having to show up in public? To be honest, my dear husband is really capable. The little wives who follow you have all risen to great heights!" The following words were so gentle that they made people's bones soften.
Lu Ming was helpless: "You did it on purpose, right? You knew something important would happen later, and I can't do anything to you!"
Pamela smiled triumphantly and went into the bathroom carrying a bunch of things.
…
The office of the commissioner of the administrative department is spacious and grand.
Lu Ming and Pamela sat on the soft sofa in the reception area. Lu Ming sipped his tea slowly while Pamela stirred the coffee elegantly with a small spoon.
Sitting opposite him was a handsome middle-aged man, Xia Liren, the Commissioner of the Montenegrin Administrative Office.
He is Mrs. Hu's distant cousin, and his status in the Hu Group is second only to Mrs. Hu's biological brother Hu Dingjin.
He frequently glanced at Pamela with eager eyes.
This made Lu Ming frown slightly. In this era, this was how women worked, especially a beauty like Pamela. In a bureaucratic system with a strict hierarchy, it was actually very difficult for her to work under a man. Of course, it was also easy to think it was easy.
"Commissioner Pan, it's like this. The attendance system in the Montenegrin Administrative Office is very strict. You seem to be an entrepreneur, right? I hope you can spare more time to work in the office!"
Xia Liren didn't pay much attention to Lu Ming.
Lu Ming didn't interrupt much. It seemed that this guy was on the same side as Mrs. Hu and Hu Dingjin. Moreover, he did not hide his dislike for him since they met.
Maybe he was deliberately pretending to be of higher status than himself in front of Pamela.
"I'll try to make time." Pamela said calmly, putting down the spoon, "Commissioner Xia, I'm leaving now!"
Xia Liren was stunned, but saw that the Western beauty really stood up and walked out, and the annoying man followed her.
Xia Liren slowly leaned back on the sofa, frowning.
How could such an outstanding woman like Commissioner Pan fall for such a pretty boy and even help him join the new army? He seems to be a commissioner of some kind and I heard he is a fairly high-ranking official. She is really blind.
But when I met my cousin recently and wanted to arrange for my close friend to join the new army, she was hesitant and I didn’t know what was going on.
…
The sound of high heels tapping echoed in this somewhat old administrative building. The wonderful music created by the collision of wooden floor and stiletto heels was very pleasant to the ears.
Walking beside Pamela, Lu Ming knew that Commissioner Xia had misunderstood the order of cause and effect, and still believed that he was just an agent and a gigolo.
It is obvious that this guy is pure nepotism and is far inferior to the brothers Hu Dingjin and Hu Dingshan. He seems to be the third-in-command, but in fact, the Hu brothers and sisters will not discuss any important matters with him, including the disputes with themselves, because he can't help but only cause trouble.
Cousins? There are some rumors, but I don't know if they are true or not.
Seeing Pamela's sullen face, Lu Ming smiled and said, "You should be happy. Xia Liren is handsome, but he is full of fools. He is ignorant and has no good news. He seems to be the third person in the Hu family, but he is far inferior to Hu Dingshan. I think you will be able to take the position of commissioner in a few months." He smiled again and said, "Why are you angry? I wish someone would look down on me!"
Then he smiled: "Let's go back to the hotel and chat."
Pamela's stiff expression immediately became subtle. She looked around, wanting to say something, but didn't say it.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Let's talk about it when we get back."
In fact, there is something very important.
Madam Wilma called and said that after her repeated requests and even her crying in the imperial capital, the Imperial Noble Council and the Emperor had agreed that Frey's daughter Bis would inherit the title of Duke of Hausburg.
However, Frey has just passed away, and was assassinated, and Bis is still young, so the knighting ceremony will be held in late spring next year.
Mrs. Wilma hung up the phone after she finished speaking. The meaning was very clear: that was it, you can do whatever you want.
This involves a lot of issues.
For example, the duke's conferring ceremony had to be held in the imperial capital, and the emperor would personally confer the title.
Also, after being conferred the title of Lord, will Bis go to live with Lady Wilma
This is definitely what Mrs. Wilma meant. She is too lonely, and now she is like living alone in a coffin. Therefore, she needs someone to accompany her, even though she knows that this kind of companionship may mean being buried with her.
Fortunately, there is still more than a month before the Chinese New Year, and the conferment of the title will be in March or April next year, so there is still nearly half a year, so we can slowly find a way to deal with it.
Today, don’t tell Pamela, so as not to upset her, and…
Lu Ming glanced at the sexy figure walking in front of him. The ice-blue dress tightly wrapped around her hips, which were swaying seductively to the rhythm of the tapping music, made him feel even hotter.
