Of course Lu Ming had to attend the charity ball hosted by Mayor Hines at Residence No. 21.
The Intelligence Analysis Division of the Joint Coordination Committee is actually the Intelligence Division that was reactivated by the First Control. They are two different brands but have the same staff.
The director is also Lu Ming's old subordinate, Sinaide, the former chief of the intelligence station of the "Secretary Department Six" who was conquered in the Western Regions. He is an Ownian and a very powerful old fox.
During this period, David, Sinead and their most trusted intelligence agents conducted detailed investigations on people who frequently entered and exited Haynes' residence at No. 21 in order to find a breakthrough.
Now there is a temporary target, Madison, the cousin of Mrs. Lillian Hines.
The two had an affair and were secretly photographed by their own intelligence agents.
Moreover, after investigation, it was found that the identity of this cousin was fictitious. Madison was a love cheater and a playboy. His name was fake. He now runs a company relying on the relationship with his "cousin". His true identity is still being investigated by intelligence personnel.
Madison was on the invitation list for this dance, and Lu Ming planned to observe this person up close.
Lu Ming's dance partner would naturally be Scarlett.
However, when Scarlett heard that Governor Goering would also participate in the charity ball, although she didn't say anything, she suddenly ran to the bathroom and vomited.
Perhaps, what she wanted to forget most was this demon, and she didn't even want to hear the name "Governor Goering", but this demon was about to appear in her life again.
When Scarlett came out of the bathroom, Lu Ming was calling Vanessa's lawyer, wanting to invite Vanessa to be his dance partner, but Vanessa was not at home or in the law firm. Instead, she called Gaston Building, where she was providing legal consulting services to the girls. She also brought her boyfriend, who was also a lawyer.
Vanessa thanked Lu Ming for his kindness and politely declined his invitation.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Ming shook his head.
"Thank you, sir. I'm fine. I'll go with you." Scarlett's face was full of gratitude for Lu Ming's thoughtfulness.
Lu Ming waved his hand, "Forget it, I understand, you will feel torture every minute."
At this time, at the open door, the maid bowed slightly and said, "Miss Eunice."
Maids and other people were also hired after Lu Ming came. Originally, the cleaning of this big house depended entirely on Scarlett's family.
Eunice walked in. Today was a school holiday, so she was not wearing her school uniform. Instead, she was wearing a very fashionable light green over-the-knee T-shirt with a very rebellious skull pattern. Her snow-white cropped pants tightly wrapped around her slender legs. She was wearing black and white canvas shoes, and light yellow lace knots on her beautiful ankles. With this outfit, she immediately looked mature, as if she was a few years older, a rebellious young girl of fifteen or sixteen.
"Dad, do I look beautiful in this dress? It's my aunt's old dress." Eunice smiled sweetly at Lu Ming and handed him a few photos and plates.
There were group photos of Eunice and her friends at Gaston House, as well as individual photos of her friends.
Lu Ming chose a photo of Eunice's friend named Danny. She was wearing tattered clothes and the background behind her was shabby, but there was a glimmer of hope in the little girl's eyes.
Of course, it was because of friends like Eunice and the arrival of Mr. Gaston "God" Bit that gave her hope for the future.
Lu Ming nodded: "Let's take this one." He picked up the phone and dialed David's number, asking him to come and pick up the photos and negatives, to develop a large photo, put it on a good photo frame, name it "Hope", and then package it and send it to No. 21 Hines Residence, saying that it was an auction item donated by himself.
After the call, Lu Ming said to Eunice, "Today's charity gala is to raise funds for the millions of Gaide people in the Gaide area." He shook his head, "It's ironic to help the Gaide people in the Gaide area."
Scarlett didn't dare to interrupt on this topic, and Eunice remained silent.
Scarlett suddenly remembered and said, "Oh, Eunice, go ask Aunt Madeline and Aunt Helen if they have time to accompany Mr. to the dance in the evening."
Eunice's big, bright eyes lit up. "Father, let me go with you to collect donations for Dany and the others? I want to help, too."
"No..." Scarlett blurted out before Lu Ming could say anything.
Lu Ming looked at Scarlett in surprise. This was the first time, and she had never dared to make a decision for herself.
"I'm sorry, sir..." Scarlett's pretty face turned pale and she hesitated, "But, Governor Goering, he..."
Lu Ming waved his hand and instantly knew why Scarlett reacted so strongly. It was probably because Goring had met Eunice somehow and had wanted to take advantage of her.
"Okay, Eunice, you go with me tonight and wait for me here at 5pm." Lu Ming said to Scarlett, "Don't worry."
Scarlett didn't dare to say anything more after hearing what Lu Ming said, and said softly, "Yes."
Eunice was very happy and said excitedly, "Father, I'll go get some clothes ready. Ah, Aunt Scarlett, do you have any smaller dresses?"
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Just wear your school uniform. I'm bringing my goddaughter as my dance partner. Why, do you still want to be my equal dance partner?"
“Oh…” Eunice was poured with cold water and sat down next to Lu Ming in a sullen manner. But after a while, she hugged Lu Ming’s arm again.
Lu Ming glanced at Scarlett and said, "I was just about to tell you something. I have several companies outside now, and the business is expanding. Eunice's father, your brother Rosberg, was once an excellent trade manager. Eunice's mother, your sister-in-law Clara, was once the financial director of your family company and a very famous young accountant. Your sister Madeline was once an assistant professor at the most famous local Holy Shield University and the youngest assistant professor, teaching economics. She published a book specifically on advertising, and was about to set up her own advertising company when the war came. Your sister Helen and brother-in-law Zuo Yin were both in middle school before the war, which was an affiliated middle school of Holy Shield University. They could have been directly admitted to Holy Shield University, but unfortunately the war interrupted their studies, but they both studied university courses on their own over the years. Helen, influenced by her sister Madeline, has a special liking for advertising, and Zuo Yin taught himself lawyer courses, right?"
Scarlett nodded gently: "Yes."
These are all reports made by Scarlett in great detail, and the whereabouts of her family are one of the contents of the report.
Lu Ming said, "David will send the information later. I have arranged new jobs for them all. This way, you won't have to support a large family anymore. You can afford the cost of maids and other expenses."
Scarlett was stunned, lowered her head in a daze, and suddenly began to wipe away tears.
Lu Ming coughed. To be honest, this family is really full of elite talents, and they are all very forward-looking. For example, Scarlett's sister Madeline. Nowadays, there are not many advertising companies, and the understanding of advertising in the business world is still insufficient and has not risen to the level it should be. The advertising of most companies is discussed by senior executives. The company has neither a dedicated department nor the concept of hiring an advertising company.
Of course, I have to use these people. What I lack in Jill City is capable people. They will all be my right-hand men. Moreover, they have some kind of personal dependence on me, so it is easy for me to control them.
You don't have to pay them high salaries, but you can still win their extreme gratitude, which can be said to be a huge profit.
Looking at Scarlett wiping her tears, Lu Ming smiled and said, "Okay, you two can discuss it. If you are still afraid of the outside world and want to rest for a while, you can also refuse my job offer. We can talk about it later." He said to Eunice beside him, "Don't forget to come here at 5pm. I will send a car to pick you up."
"Yeah." Eunice nodded gently and reluctantly let go of the little hand that was holding Lu Ming's arm.
