"Xiao Liu, why are you here?" Yuan Ziyuan was stunned, and the words naturally had meaning.
"Minister Yuan, when did you come?" Liu Qiwen asked almost at the same time.
"Well, let me introduce to you. This is my secretary Liu Qiwen." Lu Ming stood up and introduced Liu Qiwen to everyone first.
Among the people present, only Yuan Ziyuan is familiar with Liu Qiwen. Although the others know that Lu Ming has a female secretary who is very cute, they have never met her in person. This is the first time.
"Qiwen, my Lu Ming often mentions you." Yuan Mingzhu held Liu Qiwen's hand and said a little sourly.
"How can I not have it?" Lu Ming muttered with a bitter smile.
Everyone said hello to each other, Du Juan looked at it with a pursed lips and a smile. She was also slightly jealous in her heart. Since Yuan Mingzhu didn't express anything, of course she was not qualified to speak.
In everyone's mind, a secretary is synonymous with a lover. This measurement standard was quite accurate at that time.
"Lu Ming, I said your three wives are all gone, where is your fourth concubine?" Yuan Ziyuan said dissatisfied and sarcastically.
As a woman in the new era, especially the aggressive Miss Yuan, she is very dissatisfied with Lu Ming's style.
She couldn't accept that men were born with the right to have three wives and four concubines. Those problems caused by the three cardinal principles and the five constant principles, that men were superior to women and were inferior to women, needed to be cured.
"I said, Ziyuan, don't talk nonsense. Where did I get my three wives and four concubines? Secretary Liu and I have a work relationship, so it doesn't matter to me. You talk like this and stain the innocence of other girls. Du Juan and I are also innocent.
." Lu Ming hurriedly defended.
"Yes, I believe this. Aren't you and Mingzhu innocent now? Being innocent now does not mean that you will be innocent in the future. Men are all bad." Yuan Ziyuan said disdainfully.
After she said this, Sheng Muyi quit.
"Lu Ming is not the kind of person you said. Ziyuan, you are unjustly accusing the last good man in the world."
"That's right, don't say that my Lu Ming is not this kind of person, even if he is, I still love this kind of person." Yuan Mingzhu said mischievously.
"Do you two insist on doting on him? Sooner or later he will fall off..." Yuan Ziyuan was so angry that she sat down on the sofa.
Since she was a child, Yuan Ziyuan has been dissatisfied with Lu Ming's favored status and has fought against it, but it's a pity that it's useless. There are too many people protecting Lu Ming, and even her own sister has rebelled.
"Qiwen, welcome to join our big family." Yuan Mingzhu said with a pun.
"Thank you, Sister Mingzhu." Liu Qiwen felt very embarrassed, but also felt a little proud.
She had long heard that Lu Ming had a small circle of people who were either rich or noble. The people in the key circle were all the people closest to Lu Ming. Today she was finally lucky enough to get to know the people in this circle.
As for joining this circle, she doesn't have such big ambitions yet, so let's get familiar with it first.
"Qiwen, you've just arrived, right?" Sheng Muyi calmed down the atmosphere and said.
"No, I was arrested by them together with the chief, and then we were locked in this room." Liu Qiwen said.
"Look at my memory, I forgot about this." Yuan Ziyuan patted his head and said.
At that time, Liu Qiwen and Lu Ming were taken away together in the Fuxing Society building. Yuan Ziyuan saw that scene with her own eyes, but she forgot about it afterwards.
Liu Qiwen was just a little secretary, and she didn't care about it at all. Of course she wouldn't waste her brain cells remembering it.
"Secretary Liu was implicated by me and was also arrested by them." Lu Ming quickly explained.
"Then you two were locked up here all the time and were together at night?" Yuan Mingzhu immediately realized the complexity of the problem.
"Actually, we haven't been together all the time. We were locked up together for two days. Later, Commander Lu still lived here, so I moved next door." Liu Qiwen explained hurriedly.
Everyone's expressions were a little strange. If you lock a man and a woman in a room for two days, what can a man and a woman do in these two days? Not to mention setting the house on fire, there can always be some sparks.
bring it on.
"I asked you guys, can you be serious? What are you thinking? We are locked up together. Secretary Liu lives inside and I sleep on the sofa outside." Lu Ming became anxious, stood up and pointed.
"We didn't say anything, why are you so anxious?" Zhang Ziyang said in a weird voice.
"What else can you say? I can tell what you are thinking just by looking at your faces, especially you Zhang Ziyang. Don't you know what you are doing?" Lu Ming snorted coldly.
Cai Lian smiled and said: "Lu Ming, I can see that Miss Liu was taken to Nanjing with you and imprisoned here because of the requirements from above. It is not up to you to make the decision. I firmly believe in your character."
At this point, Cai Lian really understands Lu Ming best and has the most say. If Lu Ming was a scumbag, why would he have waited until today? He would have been drowned in Changsan Shuyu long ago.
Lu Ming immediately agreed: "Yes, Sister Cai Lian has spoken to my heart. Rumors stop with the wise."
Sheng Muyi immediately said: "There are no rumors at all."
Everyone laughed. In fact, everyone was just a little surprised at first. As for whether anything happened to Lu Ming and Liu Qiwen, they really didn't care. Even Mingzhu and Du Juan recognized it.
The only thing these people were concerned about was whether Lu Ming was in danger, how long he would be detained, etc. Liu Qiwen, a little secretary, didn't care at all.
"By the way, I forgot to ask Lao Liao to arrange the room. I'll go find him." Sheng Muyi remembered at this moment.
"There's no need for him to arrange it. I've booked all of this floor. There are ten rooms in total. You can choose your own room to live in. They are all the same." Lu Ming said.
"You covered all this layer. Is it necessary? It's such a waste." Zhang Ziyang said sadly.
"I didn't do it, it was those bastards from the Military Justice Department who requisitioned all this floor and didn't give Lao Liao any money, so I had no choice but to do it. I'll pay for it," Lu Ming explained.
After a while of commotion, Lu Ming talked about the situation when he first came here and the situation these days. After everyone understood it, they felt a little more relaxed.
They were not worried that Lu Ming would be imprisoned or even sentenced, but they were also worried that Lu Ming would not be able to adapt psychologically to being locked up here.
Once a person who is used to being free and loose is grounded, the pain will be unimaginable to others.
For soldiers, the Military Justice Department of the Military Commission is similar to the Palace of Hell. When Sheng Muyi and the others heard the words Military Justice Department, they couldn't help but shudder and felt eerie.
"It's better to wrap it up. It's safe this way. Now is not the time to worry about money. Safety is the first priority." Sheng Muyi said in a big sisterly manner.
"That's right, as long as Lu Ming is well, we'll pay whatever the price is." Yuan Mingzhu also said.
Liu Qiwen was a little embarrassed at first, but Du Juan pulled her over and sat next to her to talk. Gradually, the two of them felt a little closer.
Sometimes people are very strange. In special circumstances, as long as they make eye contact, they will know whether the other person is a suitable person to talk to.
Among the crowd, Liu Qiwen could tell at a glance that Du Juan was her most suitable conversation partner, and the same was true for Du Juan.
So the two people were like magnets and quickly stuck together.
Du Juan was born into a miserable child, and so was Liu Qiwen. It's hard to say who suffered more. Du Juan was probably the more miserable. After all, he was sold by his biological parents when he was young. If it weren't for Lu Ming, he would have lived in a pit of fire all his life.
In their romantic circle, there are very few people who can survive to pick lotus flowers. What is even more rare is to meet a lover like Zhang Ziyang, which is worth a lot of money.
Many more sisters were swallowed up by this vicious society within a few years, leaving no trace of their bones. This was an era of cannibalism, and this was a world of all evil.
Du Juan told Liu Qiwen that she was currently working as a manager at Sheng's Spinning Factory. Liu Qiwen was so shocked that she opened her mouth and stared blankly at the pretty girl in front of her.
Liu Qiwen knew that it was very hard for female spinning workers, and their income was also very low. It was said that they only had 5 yuan a month, and they didn't even have enough to eat in the factory.
Du Juan nodded and said: "Most of the sisters are old and young, and this job can only make a living. Your Chief Lu supports me as a manager to seek some benefits for the poor sisters. We have now established a trade union."
"What does a trade union do?" Liu Qiwen heard this term for the first time.
"The trade union is a voluntary organization of workers. Sisters can help themselves. If someone's family encounters difficulties, everyone will lend a helping hand to help her overcome the difficulties." Du Juan explained.
"This is equivalent to building a big family for the poor. Great, you are so smart." Liu Qiwen said happily.
"This is not an idea I came up with. I heard you, Commander Lu, say that this has been the case in the United States for a long time. Trade unions can also help workers fight against the capitalists who exploit them and fight for their own rights."
Dujuan is very happy that someone listens to her talking about these things, which shows that what she is doing now is valuable.
