After dozing off for a while in the car, I suddenly woke up and found that the car was parked under the shade of a tree in the backyard of my house. Next to me, Zhen was fanning herself gently to drive away mosquitoes.
In fact, the Xuelong 950 has air conditioning, of course, it is only cold air conditioning. Nowadays, car air conditioning is in its infancy, and only about 5% of the Empire's high-end cars are equipped with air conditioning.
It wasn't hot in the car, and there were no mosquitoes. Zhen was just used to it.
Seeing Lu Ming open his eyes, Zhen said happily, "Master, are you awake?" She immediately pushed open the car door. Luo Yi was standing outside, holding what should be a hangover soup.
"Forget it! No need to drink that stuff." Lu Ming held her back. After taking a nap for a while, he felt much better and all his tiredness was gone.
I gently held Hanzhu's soft, boneless and smooth hand, and immediately admired her in my heart, how could there be such a thing, I could never hold it enough in my lifetime.
Zhen was both shy and happy, but she lowered her head and whispered, "Master, there are guests at home. You forgot that you agreed to hold a banquet at home tonight to celebrate."
"Ah!" Lu Ming shook his head, "Okay, go meet the guests!"
…
The extremely luxurious restaurant has bright chandeliers and a dining table covered with snow-white satin tablecloth, which is extremely luxurious and elegant. Maids in matching uniforms shuttle back and forth, and the silver plates on the dining table shine brightly.
This was the first time that Wang Da'an, Chen Qinghua, and Ji Ji came since they learned that Lawyer Lu had moved.
Hepu Road!
I had only heard various legends before, but this time I came here, it was true.
On the spacious and clean tree-lined streets, the patrolling green-headed soldiers looked novel.
Not to mention Lawyer Lu's home. In such an environment, it feels like a crime to sit down and eat, for fear of making something dirty.
Sun Luting, Sun Erniang and Park Soo-na also sat at this table for the first time.
For today's meal, Lu Ming was entertaining his family and colleagues.
"Rodman, is it true that you won't look back for a year?" Lu Ming asked with a smile.
“Yes…” Wang Da’an was secretly glancing at the peerless beauty in a red dress who was only seen in classical paintings and sitting next to Lawyer Lu. He answered hurriedly and did not dare to look over there.
In fact, I just looked at her secretly and didn't dare to look at her carefully, but I just felt that she was so beautiful, as beautiful as a fairy.
As for how beautiful the fairy is, we can only imagine.
Lawyer Lu is really blessed. It turns out that he has such a concubine. I never knew about it before, let alone seen it.
As for Lady Pamela, Wang Daan sighed inwardly. What else could he say? He never dreamed that this noble Western lady would become someone's concubine, and, moreover, she sat on Lawyer Lu's left and right with another concubine. Not to mention Lawyer Lu's identity as a Chinese, Lady Pamela's thinking and values did not make her suitable for being someone's lover. If she was willing to be a lover, wouldn't there be plenty of candidates among the Western nobles, and even many people would propose to her? Why would she have to come to Beiguan
Not to mention, this wasn't just being a lover in secret, this was being someone's concubine, openly and aboveboard.
Wang Da'an smiled bitterly and said, "Lawyer Lu, you are a role model for us in many aspects, not just in the legal profession. You have fulfilled many people's daydreams."
Lu Ming thought about it and said, "If Rodman doesn't want to go, then he doesn't have to go. There's no need to force him."
"Yes, but in the past two days, many law school students who are about to graduate have submitted their resumes to our firm!" Wang Da'an said, glancing at Lu Ming, "Do you think we should accept two interns? It will also be beneficial to the evaluation of our firm."
Lu Ming nodded: "You decide." It's graduation season again, isn't it? It's the season for college students to graduate.
I should also go to Fernald College. It seems that the cram school is over. I need to register for the new year's school. I should also be in the fourth grade of middle school. At this time next year, I can take the college entrance examination.
But all in all, I had only been to the college for a few days.
"How about the Baoyin Bank case?" Lu Ming thought of this lawsuit that he should focus on recently.
"It's still being delayed and the time for the next class hasn't been set yet!" Wang Da'an shook his head helplessly.
Baoyin Bank’s assets have been seized. The longer the lawsuit is delayed, the greater the losses will be. Even if the lawsuit is won, it will still be a loss in the end.
Lu Ming nodded: "I'll think of a solution as soon as possible!" He turned to look at Bisi who was yawning and said with a smile: "Little guy, you are sleepy. Okay, let's not talk about work!"
Seeing that her uncle finally paid attention to her, Bisi was immediately overjoyed, "Uncle, wait until you finish speaking and you adults finish three glasses of wine, I will congratulate you, I have already thought of the words!"
Lu Ming smiled and said, "You know how to behave. Come, sit with uncle!" He then said to everyone, "Okay, let's eat and drink. We won't have to drink three rounds of wine. Just be casual. It's good to eat and drink well. What's the point of congratulating each other? I'm not asking you to go to jail for this meal. Jiji, eat more. It's been a while since we last met. You've lost weight!"
Ji Ji's face immediately turned red with excitement. Although he was her boss, he was indeed elusive and like a legendary figure.
"Qinghua, don't be polite, give Jiji more food!"
"Uncle Sun, Aunt Sun, you guys should eat more too. There's no need to be so particular. What condiments can't you eat? Will it affect your flying? Just eat it!"
Sun Luting and Sun Erniang were sitting at the same table with the "Holy Envoy". They were so frightened that they dared not breathe. Although they could no longer feel the terrifying aura of the Holy Envoy, they dared not look up and just nodded repeatedly when listening to the young master's teachings.
"Nana, you've been working hard lately. You've been hungry one day and full the next, and you often have to eat snacks in the car to make up for a meal. You're at the age where you need to keep in shape. I feel a little sorry for you."
In this situation, Park Soo-na naturally didn't dare to say much, she just whispered: "Sir, you are too kind."
Pamela looked at her relative and nodded slightly, not embarrassing herself.
At this time, Bisi had already run to Lu Ming. Lu Ming smiled and moved to the side, picked up Bisi and placed her next to him.
The master chair is very spacious, and neither Lu Ming nor Bisi feels crowded sitting in it.
Moreover, ever since I scolded Bisi, I always feel guilty about it. I dote on her very much and think it is my duty to hug her while eating.
"From now on, I'm going to concentrate on eating and ignore you guys. Come and eat!"
Lu Ming was really just laughing and joking with Bisi, eating and picking up food, and ignoring everyone else.
Everybody was stunned, but they all moved quickly. You know what, eating was just eating. There was no need to listen to the host like he was listening to an imperial decree, and no one cared whether you toasted or not. It was just a simple meal. By the end, everyone seemed to be a little full.
Lu Ming looked at it and smiled inwardly, that was right, the table was full of delicious dishes, which they could hardly eat normally, but in the end no one could eat much, which was meaningless.
Besides, to be honest with them, apart from work, there is really nothing else we can talk about. When we talk, I just talk and they listen.
When everyone left, Lu Ming distributed the red envelopes he had prepared long ago to everyone.
Sun Luting, Sun Erniang and Park Soo-na all received red envelopes of 500 yuan, while Chen Qinghua and Ji Ji received red envelopes of 200 yuan.
Even if you don't care about money, you won't give out red envelopes randomly on happy occasions. Naturally, you will give more to those who have worked hard recently.
Several people took the red envelopes and were very happy, thanking the boss repeatedly.
…
Early the next morning, Lu Ming finally asked Park Soo-na to take him to Fernald College.
The cram school has really ended, but the school hasn’t officially started yet. It’s still a few days away.
Lu Ming went to the Academic Affairs Office to see if he would be reassigned to a new class since he would be promoted to Form 4 in the new semester.
Because every year during graduation season, some high school students drop out, go to work, get married, etc.
Therefore, in the secondary school department, the number of students in school decreases from Form 1 to Form 4. There are 8 classes in Form 1, but there are only 6 classes in Form 4.
There were two teachers on duty in the Academic Affairs Office, both female and relatively young.
I still remember that when I applied for admission, it was this kind-looking female teacher who wore glasses and her last name was Wang.
Lu Ming walked over with a smile and explained his purpose.
I am Lu Qianxing from Class 6 of Form 3. I wonder which class of Form 4 I will be assigned to in the new semester
The female teacher was very enthusiastic. She immediately stood up and went to the metal cabinet with many drawers. She rummaged through it for a while and took out a file. Then she frowned and looked at Lu Ming suspiciously. She walked over with the file, sat down, and looked Lu Ming up and down again.
"Lu Qianxing from Class 36, right? Well, according to the comments of Mr. Wang, the head teacher of Class 6, he suggested that you transfer to Secondary 2. The Academic Affairs Office has agreed. In the new semester, you will study in Class 3 of Secondary 2, and your head teacher is Mr. Lin."
"Ah... what?" Lu Ming opened his mouth wide. No matter how bizarre the things he encountered in court were, they were not as bizarre as what happened today. He was a little confused for a moment.
"Because you often skip classes. Teacher Wang said that he had hardly seen you many times, but the main reason was your grades in the cram school. You only took one test, and then you kept skipping classes. You didn't even come for the last exam, right? According to your only test result, your Griffinian is too bad. It's impossible for you to keep up with the learning progress of Form 4. So, the school arranged you in Form 2 to be responsible for you."
Lu Ming was stunned and had nothing to say. It wasn't even considered repeating a grade. He had actually regressed a grade this time. He had to finish Form 3 and then go back to Form 2
I am Lu Qianxing, the most sought-after lawyer in Beiguan today, with assets worth millions, a reborn person, who came to this low-tech world. And you want me to cut back and study in junior high school
Suddenly I shook my head helplessly. The thought that came to my mind now seemed quite childish.
Moreover, Fernald College seems to be a pure land, and all the troubles from the outside world cannot enter here.
Of course, in reality, apart from the legal profession, people in my own circle and those who pay special attention to me, I am not that famous.
My full name rarely appears in the newspaper. Ordinary people buy newspapers just for the fun of it, fearing that in a few days, they will forget the last names of the prosecutors and lawyers who forced the Japanese devils to commit suicide out of fear of the crime, let alone their specific names.
"Actually, it may be barely possible for you to enter Form 2, but considering your age, I'd better let you try it for a few days first. If you still find it difficult, come to me and I will help you transfer to Form 1. It's not easy for you to study at your age, so don't just muddle through. Your future depends on the present, do you understand?" The female teacher sighed and looked at Lu Ming with some pity. She felt that this child must have applied for countless times before he was finally able to enter this charity school to study for free, but he didn't expect that he was too stupid and didn't work hard. In the future, it would be difficult for him to change his fate. He would have to go back to farming and be a tenant farmer. It's a pity for such a handsome boy.
Lu Ming smiled bitterly. This school is really good. It is truly responsible for the poor students who have the opportunity to study here.
But why do I feel so depressed
Under Teacher Wang's caring and persuasive gaze, Lu Ming whispered, "Yes, thank you, teacher!" He turned around and slipped away.
It's so embarrassing! What should I say when I get home? Won't Pamela laugh at me? Hanzhu won't laugh at me, but I am such a great and positive person in her heart! …
Bisi? This, I really set a good example. Will the little guy look at me naively and say, "Uncle, I also want to shorten my class and go to the first grade of elementary school."
After all, in her opinion, everything she did was a ray of righteousness.
