on Monday.
Lu Ming paced slowly in the office. He had just returned from Donghai yesterday. After several months of running around and negotiating before and after the New Year, a big event that he had been planning was finally settled.
There was a gentle knock on the office door. Yu Luan pushed it open and three people came in. They were Wang Ding, chief member of the Concession Public Affairs Management Committee, Xie Quan, director of the Concession Legal Affairs Office, and Huang Guirong, chief judge of the Concession Court.
"Have you seen the guidance documents issued by the Special Administrative Region a few days ago?" Lu Ming said with a smile as he asked everyone to sit down, "And the newspapers of the past two days have mostly covered these."
The Montenegro Special District officially joined the Eastern Region Economic Alliance of the Empire and became one of the alliance members.
At the same time, according to the entry principles of the economic alliance, alliance members must implement the laws of the eastern region of the empire, which is actually the East China Sea laws.
The Montenegrin Special Economic Zone is under the jurisdiction of the Special Economic Zone Management Committee of the Imperial Ministry of the Interior.
However, from the perspective of the judicial system, the appeals court of the Montenegro Special District should be the Jiangning Provincial High Court.
But from the day the Special Zone and the member states of the Eastern Economic Union signed the agreement, the final appeal court of the Montenegrin Special Zone became the Eastern Sea High Court.
Outsiders may not understand, but for the Montenegrin judiciary and the entire Montenegrin power structure system, this is the beginning of a radical change.
Huang Guirong was extremely excited, but tried her best to suppress her excitement.
At the end of last year, she had been accepted as a disciple by General Lu.
Nowadays, she has replaced her big black-framed glasses with narrow-framed ones, and looks like a very elegant woman.
Maybe because she had been working outside in the past, especially in Montenegro, she deliberately made herself look ugly, wanting to demonstrate her professionalism and professional ability.
Lu Ming looked at Xie Quan, then at Huang Guirong, "From now on, the appeal court of our concession will be in the Montenegro Special District Court, and the final ruling court will be the Donghai High Court."
Seeing Huang Guirong's dazed look, one could tell that she probably looked down on herself as the spy chief and thought that what she said was nonsense. In the entire office, she might be the only spy chief who didn't quite understand the true meaning of the special zone's letter a few days ago.
They would probably also think that her master let a spy chief be the number one figure in the concession area, and his style of doing things was becoming more and more like that of a real warlord.
Lu Ming laughed secretly in his heart, this little girl.
However, the judicial system should be completely independent and there is no need to care about the power represented by this position. This is a good thing.
He turned to Xie Quan and said, "Whether it's a civil lawsuit, or the Judicial Procuratorate and the Police Station, you need to get the corresponding legal guidance documents as soon as possible and listen more to the opinions of professionals like Judge Huang."
Xie Quan nodded: "I understand."
Just as Lu Ming was about to say something else, the office phone rang. Yu Luan picked it up, whispered a few words, hung up the phone, and whispered in Lu Ming's ear, "It's Li Dan's office calling, they want to meet you."
Lu Ming nodded and smiled at them: "Let's continue."
…
The Red Rose Tennis Club is behind the Red Rose Hotel.
When the entertainment tycoon Hovers, who was greeting people in front of the club, saw Ashikaga Erika getting out of the car next to Lu Ming, he was obviously stunned, scratched his Mediterranean bald head, and whispered something to the people around him.
He came over with a big smile on his face, "Commissioner Zhang, Madam Zhang! Come in, please."
Walking in the VIP channel, a uniformed waitress led Mrs. Erika to the ladies' area to choose a racket.
Hovers smiled bitterly, "You didn't say you were bringing your wife, and I even called your room to invite Becky to be your female companion. But don't worry, I've already told her to leave quickly so she won't be seen by your wife. I heard you haven't been to your long room?" Then he shook his head, "I didn't understand it a few days ago, but now I understand..."
What I mean now is, of course, that after seeing the Commissioner's wife, I realized how high the Commissioner's vision is. However, it is difficult to say this out loud. It is too rude to comment on the Commissioner's wife's appearance.
Indeed, although Erika didn't wear a tennis skirt, her snow-white sportswear and white tennis socks and shoes made her look so sweet and beautiful that it made people's hearts tremble. She was truly a super beautiful girl who walked out of a comic book.
Hovers was still annoyed and wanted to say something, but Lu Ming waved his hand and said, "Not really. Becky is also very good and has her own charm. I'm just too busy these days." He couldn't just send Becky and her daughter out of his wolf's den and send them to another tiger's den. This is a fake wolf's den, and if he sends them away, it will become a real tiger's den. He was thinking about going to Room 705 to sleep for a night in two days, otherwise if he didn't go there once, Hovers would always know.
Hovers breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, okay, I was afraid of offending your brother, thinking that I, your brother, would tease you. Becky, to be honest, I am optimistic about her..." He coughed, "In Shengjing, there is no one better than her. It's really you, my brother... Alas, it is destined to be yours, it's something you can't ask for..." He coughed twice and didn't want to say anything more.
Of course, the best one I can find is Becky. I have been coveting her for a long time. I will give her to you, but you are too lucky in love, and your wife is too beautiful, right? A beauty of this level is something you can only encounter once in a while. As for Becky, I am not kidding you. You should know my feelings.
Lu Ming felt amused. Actually, women were not a topic of conversation for either himself or Hoffs. But when he saw Erika, the old man was so shocked that he started talking nonsense.
"Old Huo, let's go, let's not talk about this anymore!" Lu Ming smiled.
At the end of the VIP corridor in front is the indoor tennis court for senior members. Although it is called indoors, it is actually covered with green grass and lush green trees, with excellent air circulation. In addition, the large glass walls provide the same wide view as the outdoors.
The tennis match we arranged today is for four people.
Li Neng and a middle-aged man with a hooked nose were already sipping tea on the sofa in the lounge area.
Lu Ming smiled and walked over to shake hands with the two men. The middle-aged man with the hooked nose looked at Lu Ming sharply and said, "Commissioner Zhang, I've heard a lot about you!" His tone was a little stiff. He was not Hovers, and his Northern Territory dialect was probably even more fluent than Lu Ming's.
But like Hovers, he grew up in Shengjing.
Obviously, this person looked down on the people of Central China from the bottom of his heart, but when in Central China, he had to adapt to the local customs and learn the Central China language when in Central China's territory.
The hook-nosed man was one of the eight directors of the Municipal Council. His name was James Monroe. He was an opium king himself. Most of the opium in the North originated from him.
Today's gathering of four people was actually James representing the Western people in the Municipal Council to confirm the legal system issues of the concession.
Because according to the legal system established by the Municipal Council, the highest court for legal matters in Shengjing is the Shengjing Central District Court.
But in the past two days, newspapers have reported extensively on various issues, and there has been a lot of buzz about the fact that the Montenegro Special Region has joined the Eastern Economic Union and become one of its member states.
The East China Sea laws are aggressive and have a lot of extraterritoriality. So, does the Central District Court still have the final say over the verdict of the Montenegro Concession Court
These are all problems.
Moreover, this is what James is most concerned about, because in the East China Sea laws, Fu Shou Gao has been listed as a dangerous drug, equivalent to drugs.
So, can the longevity cream still be sold in the Montenegro Concession
Not to mention this, the more terrifying thing is that if James follows the laws of the East China Sea, he may be arrested if he enters the Montenegro Concession one day.
This is no joke.
So, James came forward enthusiastically to coordinate.
And because most of the land in the Black Mountain Concession was rented from Longbei, Longbei District Commissioner Li Nengzi had to be present.
Hovers was the matchmaker, and just like that, the four people gathered in this tennis hall.
