The Donghai Huaxia Building is now the world's tallest skyscraper. It has 101 floors and is over 400 meters high, which is slightly taller than the Empire State Building.
Lu, Liu, Stewart & Wang Law Firm is located on the 71st floor of the building, occupying the entire floor.
The firm is now one of the top law firms in Donghai. However, its most important named partner, apart from serving as a special adviser to the Donghai Legal Affairs Committee, has rarely appeared in the legal community. Those who are truly in the know know that Lawyer Lu is now the governor of the Black Mountain Special Zone in the north and a prestigious warlord. It is difficult for ordinary people to connect this short-lived Lawyer Lu with General Lu in the north. Of course, the vast majority of Donghai people only care about matters within their own territory and are indifferent to the outside world. Even fewer people care about General Lu.
Lu Ming even walked around the office, but no one recognized him. This office had long been replaced by new people, and the veterans who had not left had all occupied very high positions. Lu Ming looked like an ordinary customer and was nowhere to be seen.
Lu Ming did not inform his partners in advance. After walking around, he felt at ease and left.
Inside an ordinary-looking RV in the parking lot of a building, the interior is like a sci-fi world. Many advanced technologies are applied inside. The snow-white color scheme, from the synthetic car phone to the TV, refrigerator, air conditioning and water heating system, all use the latest technology, just like a mobile five-star luxury suite.
Heitou and Yuluan took on the roles of driver and bodyguard.
In fact, Lu Ming originally wanted to take Hanzhu out for some fun today. He only comes to Donghai once a month, and the person he misses the most is Hanzhu.
But she had been too lucky last night, and no matter how hard Hanzhu tried to get up to accompany her master to play, she just didn't have the strength. Lu Ming felt sorry for her and comforted her, asking her to have a good rest. He waited until she fell asleep before coming out.
I went back to Donghai for a two-day vacation, but now I feel all alone.
After visiting the Freedom Power Club and Wolong Restaurant, I came to the new office.
Back in the car, Lu Ming thought about it, picked up the phone and dialed a number.
…
Half an hour later, the RV stopped in the parking lot of the High Court.
Lu Ming has the credentials of a special adviser to the Legal Affairs Committee, so it is very convenient for him to enter and exit various judicial venues.
After waiting for a while, it was the afternoon autumn sleepiness time, and Lu Ming couldn't help but yawn. He leaned back in the sofa and gradually fell into a state of half awake and half asleep.
Suddenly, Lu Ming opened his eyes and saw Yu Luan leading an elegant figure that he was familiar with but had not seen for a long time.
Lu Ming smiled and stood up: "Your Highness Christine!"
Christine was wearing a dark blue suit, which was simple and capable, but also had an indescribable majesty. Her current status was also very unusual.
Archduke Charles is the "Guardian of Free Faith" of the Eastern Economic Union. All agreements of the alliance will only take effect after his signature, which vaguely means that he is the nominal head of this group.
As the crown prince, Christine is also the first in line to become the Guardian.
Moreover, the eldest prince of the imperial capital and the second prince of the Kingdom of Sonia have both granted her the title of Duke, and as if by mutual agreement, both have granted her the title of "Duke of Dabai Hanli."
Berhanli is the old name of the Western District of East China Sea, and Earl Berhanli is the most important basic title of the East China Sea system.
The Crown Prince will inherit the title of Earl of Burlingame.
Christine was already Earl of Berhanley.
Dabai Hanli is the old city area of Donghai, which is the old name of the East District and West District.
In the past, the Duke of Dabaihanli was indeed the legal title of the heir to the Grand Duke of Donghai, but many noble titles were later abolished, including the Duke of Dabaihanli.
Today, the eldest prince and the second prince have coincidentally brought out the long-abandoned name of Dabai Hanli, which is equivalent to adding another duke's inheritance to the East China Sea faction, and their intention to win over the prince is evident.
Moreover, this kind of winning over does not require any real price, but it often works well for old-school aristocrats.
Sitting down opposite Lu Ming, Christine smiled and said, "I'll take you to a restaurant today. The food there is very good."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "I'm treating you today. Besides, you don't need to bring any of your entourage. It's safe with me." He noticed that several cars in the parking lot had already started. They were naturally Christine's entourage.
"Oh?" Christine's blue eyes showed a hint of surprise.
"Let's drive." Lu Ming made a gesture, and Yu Luan opened the door and went to the driver's seat.
Christine's face darkened slightly. Perhaps she was used to being in charge of everything. Now, she was not used to being arranged for today without asking her opinion, and she was not even told where she was going to go and what she was going to do. She felt uncomfortable.
"Let's do this. Leave it to me this afternoon, and we'll go shopping, eat, and watch movies! I'm looking forward to this kind of life, but unfortunately, I never have the time, and I don't have a companion. Even my wives and I don't have an equal relationship, unlike the free and easy feeling with friends. Your Highness, I think you and I are busy every day, so you can take a break from your busy life, but even if you want to take a break, you don't have a companion to travel with, right?" Lu Ming smiled: "Now I understand you, we are in the same boat."
"Nonsense! Still the same mess as before." Christine frowned, but didn't really object.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "My mess is definitely not going to change."
The RV moved slowly.
Christine looked at Lu Ming and said, "How is Montenegro doing now? I saw the report you sent to the alliance, and it's developing very well."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Let's not talk about business today, okay, sir? Relax. I don't want to have to report to you on my rare vacation."
Christine looked at him with her beautiful eyes: "You have changed a lot!"
Lu Ming smiled: "Isn't he as obedient to you as before?"
"When have you ever heard of this?!" Christine pouted, looking at the bustling city scene passing by the window. After a while, she sighed softly, "Do you really not have to think about anything these days? If you don't think about it now, won't you have to think about it tomorrow?"
Lu Ming was silent. She was different from himself. The Eastern Economic Alliance had to face the double pressure from the Imperial Capital and the Kingdom of Sonia.
Now both sides are fighting for the eastern region, but if they delay in expressing their stance, it will definitely not work.
He has the support of a big tree in the Northern Territory, and he has the Eastern Economic Alliance under his banner. Therefore, no matter the four major provinces or the Kingdom of Japan, they will be wary of him. Unless it is absolutely necessary, they do not want to go to war with Black Mountain. Only then will he have room to maneuver and take advantage of the situation.
Christine, on the other hand, was thinking about the future fate of the eastern region. The pressure from several powerful military and political groups in the imperial capital was directly facing the eastern region, and she and her father had to think about and face it.
Thinking of this, Lu Ming sighed inwardly. At this moment, the bustling scene of Times Square commercial street happened to pass by outside the car window.
Lu Ming suddenly had an idea and raised his voice slightly: "Stop the car, stop the car!" He smiled at Christine and said, "Your Highness, let's go shopping and buy some clothes to dress up. I'll find you a pair of sunglasses first, then dress you up as a girl and I'll dress up as a boy, and then we'll go out and play! Let's go back to our teenage years, and not think about anything else. We'll just think about how we were still young and innocent, shopping, eating, and watching movies!"
"Nonsense!" Christine looked at Lu Ming as if he had seen a ghost, as if to say, you are becoming more and more messed up now, ten or a hundred times more messed up than before.
