The tennis court of Wolong Restaurant is covered with green grass, and not far away is the Wolong River that looks like a silver ribbon. The scenery is extremely beautiful.
In venue No. 1, there were only Lu Ming, Wen Liangyu, Liu Laocai, and their respective female companions.
In the past few days, Lu Ming has been receiving all kinds of people, from colleagues inside and outside the party to business partners from all over the world, and attending all kinds of gatherings and secret talks.
Today, only Wen Liangyu and Liu Laocai were invited. They were the first five friends of Lu Ming who came to Donghai. Zhao Xingwang broke up with him. Meng Dezhu, who wanted to enter politics, had already visited Lu Ming with a group of congressmen.
However, Wen Liangyu and Liu Laocai are somewhat different from others.
After just playing a game, the three of them sat at a small table under a parasol nearby, drinking water and chatting.
"Honorary member of the Municipal Committee..." Wen Liangyu looked at Lu Ming and smiled, "Qianxing, you are just in your early twenties, why do you give me the feeling that you are about to retire?"
Lu Ming laughed, "Yeah, I feel like I'm getting old!"
Having said that, there was a lot of emotion in Wen Liangyu's eyes. When he first met this young man a few years ago, he never thought that this day would come.
Liu Laocai stroked his big head and said, "I said today that we won't talk about these things, let's talk about this, Lao Wen, we should kneel down and talk to Qianxing."
Wen Liangyu was speechless, "You guys, you've been to the Northern Territory for a few days, and your knees are so weak?" Then he realized that something was wrong and smiled at Lu Ming, "Qianxing, didn't I say Black Mountain?"
Lu Ming smiled. In fact, the unconscious thoughts truly reflected people's true thoughts. The contempt for the Northern Territory was deeply rooted among the people of the East China Sea.
"Centralization has its advantages, and freedom has its price." Lu Ming didn't think so in his heart, but subconsciously, he still defended the Northern Territory.
"That's right!" Wen Liangyu quickly agreed.
The three female companions at the neighboring table were also whispering. At this time, a tall figure stood up and walked over. It was Pamela. She was wearing a snow-white tennis skirt and over-the-knee white socks and tennis shoes. The sexy and hot beautiful girl added a bit of youthfulness. It was Wen Liangyu and Liu Laocai. Although they knew that she was his brother's sister-in-law, their eyes changed a little, and they quickly turned their eyes away.
Liu Laocai seemed to be a little afraid of Pamela, and he actually stood up and smiled apologetically, "Mayor Pan..."
Pamela is the mayor of Montenegro City. During Liu Laocai's stay in the Northern Territory, he was repeatedly questioned by her.
In the end, Liu Laocai left Montenegro in disgrace. Before leaving, he donated a large sum of money to the Montenegro Charity Foundation.
Pamela smiled at Liu Laocai: "Brother Liu, we have known each other for many years, but in Montenegro, it is my duty. If I have offended you, I apologize to you!"
Liu Laocai sighed, "I won't say more. I was blinded by greed and didn't know what I was thinking. During that time, I almost divorced Hasan. Now I have finally figured it out."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Yes, the past is the past. To be honest, Lao Liu, even as a dictator, I think the highest level is to have extremely strong control. Everything in the country belongs to you. Then, if others are greedy and do bad things, they are your enemies. Of course, such a dictatorship is difficult to achieve, but the most frightening thing is that the dictator leads the entire ruling class to be greedy. If you calculate the accounts, it really means that the number of people under the rule is shared equally, and the number of civilians used to support a member of the greedy group is the most terrifying. This model is the most terrifying."
"As for me, I don't know what outsiders think of me, but I can say with confidence that I have never embezzled a penny in Montenegro."
Liu Laocai smiled and said, "How about the other way around? You have invested a lot there and brought a lot of changes to it. It's not an exaggeration to say that you are the reborn parents of the Montenegrin people."
Lu Ming smiled: "It's not that exaggerated. It's hard to say what will happen in the future. Let time prove everything!"
"Lu Qingtian!" Wen Liangyu joined in the fun.
Pamela chuckled: "Fourth brother, you don't know, this is the word Qianxing hates to hear the most. But a newspaper in Heishan scolded him, and he happily treated me to a meal."
After a pause, he said, "There's a saying that goes, if you want to know who is enslaving you, look at who doesn't allow you to criticize? Qianxing, is that right?"
Lu Ming smiled but said nothing, then asked, "Then, was the newspaper office smashed up later?"
Pamela's smile froze slightly, and she sighed, "It wasn't done by someone in the system, it was really done by a few people from the grassroots, who were very poor before. Since you went to Montenegro, their lives have changed. They worship you fanatically. Many grassroots people in Montenegro are like this. They acted voluntarily, and they have been sentenced."
"Probation, I know." Lu Ming smiled: "You never told me these things."
"You can't be hidden from that, right?" Pamela gently held his hand. "We have to take our time. Although it's a suspended sentence, their situation is sympathetic and it can serve as a warning. Besides, it was sentenced by the court. There were no casualties, so there's nothing wrong with a suspended sentence."
Lu Ming nodded: "Actually, what the newspaper said is not wrong. My private life is quite messy. If it is slandering me, I will sue it, but I don't want anyone to destroy it. Besides, I think it is normal for a person to have some shortcomings. No one is perfect. If you insist on promoting yourself as a god, then just go to heaven. The world is not suitable for you."
Looking into the distance, "Hundreds of years later, if my name can be recorded in history books, I hope that I am a person with flesh and blood, and some of my strengths can serve as a model for future generations, and some of my shortcomings can serve as a lesson for them. That would be great."
Wen Liangyu and Liu Laocai could only listen, and suddenly realized that this old friend's thoughts and ideas were completely on a different level from their own.
"Qianxing, you want to make up for Bizhu's birthday today? I won't reply!" Pamela said in a low voice. Seeing that Lu Ming was in a complicated mood, she changed the subject.
Lu Ming nodded.
Pamela and Biju don't have a very harmonious relationship, so there's no point in creating the illusion that they're all happy.
Moreover, I had never discussed serious issues with Pamela before, but I just felt that she had a senior advisor and was doing a good job as the mayor of Montenegro.
I only now realize that she is still very thoughtful, and these years of experience have also changed her.
Looking at Pamela, he smiled and said, "I am very glad now that I accepted your commission in your laundry shop and became your and Bisi's lawyer."
Pamela chuckled, her heart full of warm memories. She was originally holding Lu Ming's hand, but now she held it to her red lips and kissed it gently.
Obviously, this warmth and happiness are full of gratitude.
Liu Laocai and Wen Liangyu looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They didn't treat themselves as human beings at all. This was a bit too much dog food.
Fortunately, Hasheng and Jia Xiaoling also came over and sat next to their men. They were laughing and having a great time.
…
Wolong Manor is not far from Wolong Restaurant, but is built on the seaside. In addition to the main building complex with a huge dome-shaped snow-white palace as the main body, there is also a dance hall, bowling alley, home gym, a 60-seat theater, several swimming pools and a moat surrounding the house. There is even a stable that can accommodate 50 horses. Outdoors, there are more than 10,000 plants, including tropical flowers from all over the world.
From a distance, it is also a landscape building complex together with the Freedom Building, Wolong Restaurant, etc.
There is no doubt that it is also a symbol of the booming development of Wolong Bay and will boost the overall value of Wolong Bay.
Lu Ming had just sent off the special envoy from Tulip Manor.
Back to the terrace outside the top floor of the palace, Lu Ming sat down and waited quietly.
On the small white table in front of me, there was a beautiful birthday cake.
The flower beds are colorful, and the various lamp posts and balloons are flashing bright lights.
From the terrace, you can see hundreds of hot air balloons floating not far away. Under the spotlight, the colorful balloons form the words "Happy Birthday".
Suddenly, Lu Ming looked up and smiled bitterly. A pretty figure appeared quietly in front of him. She was a beautiful girl in a lotus green skirt with fluttering silk ribbons. She was extremely cold and pure. It was none other than Bizhu.
Unlike Liuli and Hanzhu, Bizhu prefers casual clothes that are easy to move in, but today she changed into traditional clothes.
It has been more than two years since my twentieth birthday, and I have seen Bizhu very few times.
I heard from Bisi last year that this year, sisters Bizhu and Hanzhu are turning 18.
In fact, according to common sense, Hanzhu and Bizhu should be twenty years old.
But it seemed that after their twentieth birthday, Hanzhu and Bizhu's life schedule became different from that of ordinary people.
For example, Hanzhu and Bizhu only turned 18 last month, which means they only celebrate their birthdays once every three years
However, I don't want to delve into these things, but Bisi heard from her two sisters that Bizhu will meet me only after she turns 18. Now is not the time, is it? I still have a lot of questions to ask her.
"Alas, you didn't even tell me about your birthday. I made it up to you before, and I'll make it up to you today. Did Hanzhu tell you?" Lu Ming stood up with a smile.
"Thank you." Biju sat down across the table.
"Make a wish and blow out the candles?" Lu Ming took out a match.
Bizhu shook her head gently: "The Son of Heaven is right in front of me, who should I make a wish to? Master, please don't mess up your magical powers." It was obvious that she didn't like this foreign ritual.
This was really a case of a warm response. Lu Ming smiled bitterly, "Then, make a wish to me!"
"My master doesn't even participate in the trial, so how can I dare to have any other extravagant hopes..." Bizhu sighed softly.
Lu Ming rubbed his nose. This little girl was very dissatisfied with him.
"You can't blame me. The person who holds the key died without knowing it. He didn't leave any words for future generations." Lu Ming's expression gradually became serious. "Besides, since I am the chosen one, you should believe me. The things my ancestors left behind may not be what I need. Otherwise, why should I be the Son of Heaven and they are not?" Since you are so mysterious, I will defeat your weird logic with my weird logic.
Bizhu's beautiful eyes flickered, and she couldn't think of any words to refute for a moment.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Okay, come and make a wish and eat the cake. It's my blessing to you. Don't think too much." Lu Ming cut a piece of cake and handed it over.
Bizhu stretched out her delicate hand to take it and whispered, "Thank you, Master."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Happy birthday!"
But it was obvious that the cluster of hot air balloons outside had moved Hanzhu so much that she wanted to give her life to herself, but Bizhu didn't care about it at all.
The so-called romantic atmosphere created is totally flirting with the blind.
Then we can only talk about business. Lu Ming pondered and said, "Anyway, I will not contact Fernand for now. I will follow my own pace and not be led by anyone. But as for training special forces, the Forsaken Warriors you mentioned, it takes only two years to train a hundred people. It seems a bit slow."
Bizhu nodded gently, "I have a better understanding of the roots of today's people. Sun Bo, Si Niang and Kuroki Saori are also becoming more and more helpful. This time, there are 200 people, but the two years cannot be shortened, otherwise, it will not meet the master's requirements."
Lu Ming nodded: "Okay." In fact, it's already very good. In the super soldier training class, where can you go to seek justice
Lu Ming was thinking about something and didn't say anything, and the terrace soon became quiet.
Bizhu took a bite of the cake and put it aside, lowering her head and thinking about her own thoughts.
The atmosphere became a little awkward.
Glancing at this cold and beautiful girl, Lu Ming coughed and said, "Bizhu, there is another game tomorrow, still playing tennis and eating, will you accompany me?"
"I have important things to do." Bizhu said calmly.
Lu Ming was helpless. "You said that as if I were a tyrant who was enjoying himself. If I were really the emperor, I would chop off your head or send you to the cold palace for what you said!"
Bizhu didn't care and slowly picked up the teacup to sip the tea.
Seeing her indifferent expression, Lu Ming gritted his teeth and said, "Bizhu, you are already eighteen years old. According to the rules and your inheritance, if I ask you to serve me now, do you have to serve me?"
Bizhu was still very calm and nodded: "Yes."
Lu Ming patted his legs, "Then come and sit over here!"
Bizhu didn't say much, she stood up, and like a green cloud, she gently floated to Lu Ming's side and slowly sat on his lap.
Hmm? Lu Ming's heart shuddered, and the faint fragrance seemed to be cold and surrounded him.
Moreover, although Bizhu and Hanzhu seem to be of the same body, they give people very different feelings. Hanzhu is so soft that one can't wait to crush her and eat her raw. Bizhu's delicate body is another kind of wonder. Although it is just a small touch, the amazing elasticity is enough to make people feel numb all over. It's as if there is an amazing elastic field around her. No one knows how wonderful it will be to break through her elastic field and truly embrace her icy skin.
He almost hugged her with both hands, but looking at Bizhu's indifferent face, Lu Ming smiled bitterly, "Okay, you can go back to your business now!"
Bizhu turned to look at Lu Ming with some confusion, her clear and beautiful eyes filled with many puzzles.
Lu Ming knew that she might not have much romantic feeling towards him, but just a natural sense of mission to complete a job with lofty ideals. In her opinion, it was natural for him to favor her. For her, it was an inevitable stage of life without joy or sorrow.
Moreover, it might also be good for her in terms of cultivation. Although she could vaguely feel that her cultivation had improved a lot compared to two years ago, she was probably about the same as Liuli now. Now, she was one level higher than Liuli.
"Wait until you have truly changed your mind about me." Lu Ming smiled, "Since I stopped taking trials, you should be a little disappointed in me, but you are wrong."
Bizhu looked at Lu Ming quietly for a while, lowered her head, and whispered: "In front of the master, how can the maid be right or wrong? The master is so tolerant of the maid, the maid deserves death today! However, after the master went to Shengjing, the maid thought about the past and felt sad..., which led to the misbehavior today. The maid is guilty of death. I will leave first, reflect on it in my dreams, and ask for punishment from the master another day!"
Suddenly her body went limp and fell to the side. Lu Ming was startled and reached out to hug her, but as soon as he entered her arms he knew that Bizhu was gone. Now the soft and beautiful girl in his arms was already Hanzhu.
There were two clear tears on Hanzhu's pretty face, but I think they were left by Bizhu.
Lu Ming was at a loss for a moment.
Shengjing has many beautiful or tragic pasts for the descendants of Tianshanwei.
It seemed that Shengjing had been calling me.
What Bizhu probably wants most is to return to Shengjing with an honorable status, so that the wandering ghosts of the Tianshanwei warriors who died tragically on the battlefield and never received any explanation as the dynasty collapsed, can be protected by her and rest in eternal peace, right
