In Room 408 of Wendebao, Lu Ming did not expect that Mary really brought him a letter of appointment and a notice of enlistment, and also a set of military uniform and an officer's certificate. She was really decisive in doing things.
Therefore, it can be seen that no matter whether she is Sir Wenger's sweetheart or not, she must do things in a way that Sir Wenger likes.
In the past few days, Tie Xiaojia has been in contact with her, investigating and collecting evidence, and summarizing the points that can be fought.
Looking at the appointment letter, I found that I was temporarily awarded the rank of colonel. After all, the first thing of this position is to provide legal services for military decision-making; secondly, as the prosecutor in the military court, I would prosecute officers and soldiers who violated military prohibitions; thirdly, I would accept the commission of officers and soldiers in the military to act as an agent and participate in litigation, mediation, arbitration and other activities in civil, economic and administrative cases; fourthly, as a representative of the military, I would handle related legal affairs. For example, the military would sometimes be brought to the dock as a defendant by ordinary citizens.
etc.
Therefore, if you frequently go in and out of various places in the military, it is necessary to have a military rank, and the rank cannot be too low.
Because the commander-in-chief is a major general, and in the outside world, the legal adviser represents the entire Coast Guard, and as a military representative appearing in court, his rank naturally cannot be low.
Below the major general is the brigadier general, and below the brigadier general is the colonel.
Generally speaking, even if this position is specially recruited from the public, it is usually one of the most famous barristers, so it is not inappropriate for him to be given the temporary rank of colonel.
But yourself
Lu Ming changed into the dark blue naval officer's uniform and looked at the silver eagle on the epaulettes in the mirror. He thought it was great to be a lawyer. Even if one was a child of nobility, unless one was a royal family, it would be impossible for him to wear the eagle epaulettes at his age.
Although his position was temporary, during his service, he was a colonel officer of the Coast Guard of the East China Sea National Security Army.
"Mary, does Sir Wenger know my situation? For example, my age?" Lu Ming looked at Mary. "Also, don't I need to meet Sir Wenger?"
Mary smiled brightly, "Of course, he knows your worth, I told him! He was a little worried that you might not want to join the army! Besides, he is not in the barracks all year round, so I will take care of everything!"
Lu Ming rubbed his nose. Even so, there was really no threat from external enemies. Otherwise, with such a military commander and such a loose system, if a war really broke out, they would probably raise the white flag in less than a day.
It has a bit of the style of a Gallic rooster.
After thinking for a while, Lu Ming returned to the coffee table and sat down. He took his handbag, took out his checkbook, wrote a check for 5,000 yuan and handed it to Mary.
"What is this for?!" Mary was very surprised, but when she saw the number on the check, her eyes widened immediately, and her original action of pushing it away turned into holding the check tightly.
"I should have given you a gift, but I didn't know what to give you, so you can buy it yourself and keep it!" Lu Ming gestured and smiled, "I didn't give you cash because I am open and honest. I don't feel ashamed of this military uniform and I will do my job well. If I gave you cash, it would seem like we were doing something behind the scenes! Don't you think so?"
Mary hesitated, and finally put the check away. She smiled at Lu Ming, her big eyes showing some charm, "Thank you, sir. I will rely on you to support me from now on! It is only natural for you to give money to your mistress."
Lu Ming smiled. His military rank was indeed higher than hers now.
I could also tell what she meant. If there were any trouble in the future, she would use this excuse.
"I really hope that the boss will really support me!" Mary sighed, looking a little "resentful".
Lu Ming was too lazy to pay attention to her and waved his hand: "Okay, that's all for today. This afternoon, I will formally send a lawyer's letter to Baron Renault, the licensee of the Tower Restaurant! Give them some time and see how they react!"
Mary was stunned. “Doesn’t Little Renault run the Tower Restaurant?”
Lu Ming smiled: "But the license holder is old Baron Renault."
The situation of the Tower Restaurant has been clarified through Lao Gui. Lao Gui actually doesn't have many connections in the West District, but he knows the information about the Renault family.
Old Renault has been obsessed with movies since he was young. After his father died and he inherited the estate, he sold most of the family property and set up a film company.
Reynolds Pictures is also one of the largest film companies in the East China Sea. The most popular star in the empire, Nicole Hepburn, signed a contract with Reynolds Pictures.
The Tower Restaurant is run by his youngest son, Renault Jr.
Little Renault has a bad reputation. He seems to have serious racial discrimination and often beats others for no reason. He has also seriously injured several people of other skin colors and even disabled one of them, but in the end he either reached a settlement or escaped the lawsuit.
Compared with him, Mr. Liang, whom he had just met when he came to the East China Sea, was a younger brother among younger brothers.
From the information provided by Lao Gui, Lu Ming felt more at ease in filing this lawsuit.
But at this time, seeing that Mary was a little hesitant when hearing that he was going to directly hand over a lawyer's letter to old Sir Reynolds, Lu Ming smiled and said, "It's not too late for you to back out. As a lawyer, I must respect the client's opinion, and I can't encourage you to sue if you don't want to, which is also a violation of the professional code of attorneys."
"Okay, I'm going to fight this lawsuit!" Mary gritted her teeth.
Lu Ming nodded: "Okay, if no one responds to us after seven days of sending out the lawyer's letter, then we will formally file a lawsuit. At that time, you will change into a military uniform. Oh, no, from today on, you should try to wear a military uniform when you go out. Also, during this period, until the lawsuit is over, you must live a more decent life. Don't go to places you shouldn't go. Just stay in the barracks. Also, do you have any sensitive photos in the hands of your boyfriend or ex-boyfriend? Do you have any boyfriends or ex-boyfriends who may be resentful of you, or who can appear in court to discredit you for money?"
Mary grinned. "That's probably a lot. I've dumped a platoon of people. I've scolded everyone who tried to pester me after I dumped them. I don't want to drag it out with anyone. It's over when it's over!"
Lu Ming nodded and thought to himself that you are a true representative of feminism. Most men would think that if they have sex with a woman, they have taken advantage of her, but you are not like that. You make men feel that they are being played.
Mary felt a little guilty at this time: "Then this lawsuit is not easy to win, right?"
"It doesn't matter. These are not the main points!" Lu Ming waved his hand. "You can go now. I'll get the lawyer's letter ready!"
"Okay!" Mary stood up and thought for a moment. "Lawyer Lu, in a few days, a liaison officer will come to report in as your contact with the military. Do you have a small office here?"
Lu Ming thought for a moment and said, "Can I arrange a liaison myself? I just need you to teach me before I get started."
Mary nodded: "Okay."
