St. George's Primary School is divided into boys' and girls' sections, with different teaching facilities and curriculum.
In the early morning under the red sun, the scenery of the girls' school is extremely beautiful. The forest, lawn, and the retro Baroque three-story school building are interwoven into a beautiful picture.
St. George's school's enrollment is limited to students from the Mid-Levels, who are day students. In addition, there are a small number of boarding students, all of whom are children of wealthy and powerful families who do not live in the Mid-Levels.
For a girls' school, there are only more than 50 students, but more than 60 full-time and part-time teachers. The ratio of teachers to students is more than one to one, which is really too exaggerated.
Of course, the tuition fees are also exaggerated. The miscellaneous fees for one academic year are 20,000 yuan. June 1st of each year is also a fundraising day. Parents compete to donate to the school, which is another huge income.
There are guards a hundred meters away from the campus gate, and no vehicles are allowed to pass.
At this time, David opened the door of a black car and Lu Ming got out of the car.
There was also a blonde in a black business suit, a lawyer from the Boren Law Firm.
The Boren Law Firm is one of Jill's most famous firms. The blonde beauty Vanessa is a rising star in the firm and has already gained some fame in Jill's legal circle.
David went to the law firm to hire a lawyer. Vanessa heard that it was for equal rights for children of the Gad community and took the initiative to take the case.
In the Gedi region, there are people who sympathize with the plight of the Gedi people and hope to fight for their rights and even give them preferential treatment. However, their voices are very weak.
Vanessa advocated for equal rights for the Gaddis. However, Vanessa once went to Gaston, a famous Gaddis slum, to see if she could help. But before she got close to the Gaston Building, she was attacked by several Gaddis homeless people as soon as she entered a small alley in Queens. She was almost dragged out of the car and abused. Finally, she hit a homeless person before escaping. As a result, the homeless person died of his injuries. Vanessa got into a lot of trouble for this. Fortunately, her teacher protected her and she passed the questioning of the local Bar Association.
Although her ideal of helping the Gad people has not changed, she no longer dares to rashly enter Queens.
The case I took on today is a very good one. A Gad child who is receiving an education is denied admission to school. This is much more meaningful than helping those homeless people.
The employer was the director of a newly established government department. The office director called him "General," and it seemed that he was a senior military officer who had just retired.
Vanessa looked at Lu Ming's back as he walked in front of her, and she was very curious. He was so young, was he really a general? Or was it just a nickname in the army
However, he should not be a real general. Otherwise, in this special administrative region, under the rule of the Rose Party, the party and government are integrated, and the official standard is very serious. Officials have much higher status than rich people. It's just elementary school enrollment. If he is a real general, he can just say hello. Why would he need to hire a lawyer? Not to mention that he made this trip himself.
Lu Ming walked towards the campus, stopped at a high point on the highway, and looked at No. 21 not far away, which was the official residence of Mayor Hines.
David also stood still. He had been feeling dizzy since last night and was so excited that he couldn't sleep at all.
General Bit didn't tell him, but he had his own information channels and knew that General Bit recommended him as the director of the commissioner's office.
For him, a small intelligence agent, it was a promotion of eighteen levels.
In fact, I had originally advised the general not to come today. It’s just for primary school enrollment. Although this primary school is a bit impressive, it’s just a small school after all. If I can’t handle it myself, can I still be a good office director for the general
But the general had to come, probably just to relax.
…
The office was magnificent. Principal Calden was a little old man in his fifties, with an arrogant look on his face and a cunning gleam in his eyes.
After all, the Joint Coordination Committee has not been officially established yet, so David only introduced Lu Ming as the representative who will first control the local representative office.
Calden smiled at Lu Ming and said, "At school, our philosophy of education is that everyone is equal. So, Mr. Bit, you are just a parent who hopes that your child can enter St. George's, right?"
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Yes, and I have five godchildren who want to enter St. George's."
Calden spread his hands and said, "So, there is nothing we can do. Our girls' school and boys' school have no more places for admission, not to mention that you need five places."
Calden is the principal of St. George's Primary School. He manages both the boys' and girls' schools, and the school board has great trust in him.
Vanessa said, "Mr. Bit's godson and goddaughter cannot take up admission quotas because of their Gede ancestry, right?"
Calden smiled slyly: "I have never said that. We have never rejected new students because of their ethnicity or beliefs. It's just that there are really no vacancies now. Moreover, from Mr. David's description, I think these five children do not meet the admission requirements."
Davitt said angrily: "What did I say? And that's not what you said to me last time. You said that the Gaide people are not qualified to study in St. George's!"
Calden looked at David and smiled without saying anything.
Lu Ming understood that, not to mention the area ruled by the Rose Party, even in the East China Sea legal system, private schools had absolute freedom in choosing the students to enroll, as long as there were no reasons such as ethnic discrimination.
Lu Ming glanced at Vanessa beside him. Vanessa shook her head slightly and whispered, "Let's discuss it when we get back."
David gritted his teeth and looked at Calden, but his expression gradually calmed down. He turned around and said, "General, Lawyer Vanessa, can I talk to Principal Calden alone?"
Lu Ming nodded.
Vanessa and I went to the corridor outside the office and waited, but we couldn't hear what Davidt was saying to Carlton.
"Lawyer Vanessa, how many years have you held your lawyer's license?" Lu Ming asked with a smile.
"Principal Carlton is very cunning, but there is still some solution..." Vanessa misunderstood what Lu Ming meant, but it was not easy to explain in detail to someone who didn't understand the law.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "That's not what I meant. I know a lot of lawyer friends who know that private schools can completely refuse to accept my godchildren, even because of disability, but they cannot discriminate based on ethnicity. But this cunning guy is now refusing to admit that he is discriminating based on ethnicity."
Vanessa felt relieved. This was her favorite type of employer. He had a certain understanding of the law and did not take it for granted. After thinking for a while, she said, "In fact, we can find a way to prove that he is racially discriminatory. I want to talk to your godsons and goddaughters. In addition, I will investigate Principal Calden's background to see if he has any racially discriminatory words or deeds, as well as his usual remarks about the Gaide people, etc. If we find anything, we can file a lawsuit."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Thank you for your help!" He glanced at the closed door of the office and said, "I think they will talk for a long time. Should we go for a walk on campus?"
Vanessa hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay!"
"Oh, this is a primary school and there is also a horse farm!" Lu Ming smiled and pointed in a direction outside the glass window of the corridor.
…
When David trotted over, Lu Ming and Vanessa were chatting and laughing beside the horse field.
When he reached Lu Ming, David whispered, "General, it's settled. Your godchildren can enroll tomorrow. Moreover, Principal Calden has promised to take special care of them and will not let them suffer any unfair treatment here."
Lu Ming nodded, "Okay, let's go!"
As the person I chose as the office director and the first controlled intelligence officer, if he can't even handle this, then I really don't know people well.
As for a man like Carlton, as long as you talk to him clearly and tell him what the First Control and the upcoming Joint Commission can do, he will definitely comply.
As the principal of an elementary school, especially in such a super aristocratic school, the requirements for the principal's character are naturally quite high.
But are there perfect people in the world? Has Calden's life, from childhood to the present, been free of any stains that could be magnified by a magnifying glass
With such a mountain of gold in hand, are the accounts really that clear
The first control is to turn over his every word and action from kindergarten to the present day, and to conduct a thorough review of his daily cash spending and account transactions.
As long as he has the slightest stain, he can be completely discredited.
You can tell he isn't a good person, and this is the kind of person that he likes to target the First Control the most.
"Is the problem solved?" Vanessa asked in surprise. She faintly heard a sound.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Let's talk about it when we get back. Anyway, thank you!"
