In the quaint teahouse, the person speaking across from him was the smiling Wang Qiande, the director of the Civil Affairs Department, one of the three departments in Jiangning.
The governor is the representative of the emperor, and the director of the civil affairs department, one of the three departments, is the head of the chief executive. From a certain perspective, it is similar to the governor of a province in the previous life, but with independent financial and judicial powers, there are two other departments.
That is, the Financial Secretary and the Attorney-General.
Wang Qiande was a police detective, and he may still have the heart of an agent today. He likes to read detective novels the most, and he also pays close attention to the police news in various parts of the empire.
However, Lu Ming still had reservations about his kindness.
Lu Ming had just returned to Jiangning Provincial City today after delivering a speech at the Andong Provincial Military Academy when he was invited by Wang Qiande.
After listening to Wang Qiande's words, Lu Ming smiled and said: "There is nothing you can do about your busy life."
"After the Duke of Haussburg case, I always wanted to make an appointment with you, but I felt that you were too busy." Wang Qiande smiled, "Finally you came to Jiangning and started busy with the New Army affairs again, so there is nothing particularly important.
, and I don’t want to disturb you.”
"Director Wang is so polite. If I come to the provincial capital in the future, I will visit Director Wang as my first stop. Don't bother me then!"
Wang Qiande laughed: "How could it be possible? It's settled!" After a pause, "Qian Xing should have done your best to solve the case of the Duke of Haussburg, right?"
Lu Ming smiled: "I'm running errands with you, but the Special Investigation Bureau saw my hard work and hired me as a consultant."
Wang Qiande was stunned, then sighed and said with emotion: "It's a pity that if you want to develop in the police world, Qianxing, you are too talented, otherwise you will definitely be a famous detective in the empire!"
"Come, come, let's drink tea instead of wine and give you a toast!" Wang Qiande raised his teacup.
Lu Ming smiled, raised his glass and touched it with him.
Wang Qiande took a sip of tea and said: "I'm asking you to meet this time. There is such a thing. Your partner is Hu Dingshan. Isn't he switching to the military? He recently resigned from his position in Heishan Mining. Heishan
A series of changes have also taken place in the city's personnel. There is a vacancy for the deputy commissioner of the administrative office. I think of our Longgang County Governor Pan. Although she has been in office for less than a year, the changes that have taken place in Longgang since she took office are obvious to all. The county seat
Zhengda is under construction, railway construction has begun, and a billion-dollar steel plant is about to be built. In addition, the banditry that has caused trouble for many years has been eliminated, and the only remaining Cyclone Horse gang has disappeared. Governor Pan can be said to have achieved outstanding achievements!"
Lu Ming smiled: "She is quite capable." This was not a lie, although what happened in Longgang had nothing to do with Pan Mila.
Wang Qiande smiled and said: "So, the deputy commissioner of Montenegro Administrative Office must be her!"
As he spoke, Wang Qiande took out the red velvet-covered letter of appointment from his briefcase and handed it to Lu Ming, "I heard that she is your good friend, so I can only entrust you to give it to her. I also want to trouble Qian Xing to persuade you to ask Pan
Miss, please don’t refuse!”
The letter of appointment can actually be regarded as a work certificate. Lu Ming took it, looked at the beautiful face in the ID photo, and smiled slightly: "Okay, I, as a lobbyist, promise to fulfill my mission."
I was even more confused in my heart. In the political career, good things will happen one after another when things are going well for you, but once you are unlucky, you will be rejected by everyone.
"You have to do your best. I'd like to thank you first!" Wang Qiande raised his tea cup again.
Lu Ming smiled: "Director Wang is too polite."
I happened to want to make an appointment with Pamela, because when I was in Anton, I received a call from Mrs. Wilma of the Housesburg family. Mrs. Wilma gave me the message that she needed to talk to Pamela.
Over there, Wang Qiande smiled again and said: "To be honest with you Qianxing, Governor Chaxon is still talking to me about Governor Pan's achievements!"
Lu Ming was startled, then nodded, thoughtfully.
…
The Montenegro Administrative Office and the City Court are on the same street. Lu Ming has stayed at the nearby Heishan Hotel many times.
The seven-story building stands on this long street. At night, the neon signs flash. It is one of the landmark buildings in Montenegro.
But now the best hotel in Montenegro has been acquired by Lu Ming.
Luxury Suite No. 3 on the top floor will be specially disinfected and cleaned before Lu Ming's stay every time, and will be replaced with items specially prepared for Lu Ming, including mattresses, which will also be temporarily replaced by Lu Ming's exclusive ones.
On weekdays, as long as the deluxe suite is available, Room 3 is not open to the public unless it is fully booked.
As soon as Pan Mila came in, she was hugged by Lu Ming in a bear hug, and her screams gradually turned into whining sounds.
"I, I'll take a shower first..."
After hearing these words, Lu Ming reluctantly let go of the beauty in his arms and smiled: "You still smell good even if you don't wash..."
Indeed, although Pan Mila had just come from the other provinces, she was very beautiful. Her ice-blue skirt was shining, which made the blonde girl's devilish figure even more tempting. Her long and beautiful legs in white stockings were as beautiful as ten thousand years.
series.
Hearing Lu Ming's words, Pan Mila rolled her eyes, "It's not what you think. Isn't there something serious? I want... I couldn't get out of bed for a few days, and I couldn't do anything..." After that,
Her pretty face was hot, and her watery blue eyes gave Lu Ming a hard look, but it seemed to sting someone, and Lu Ming's heart was even more burning.
But indeed, I have business to attend to, and I need to see Xia Liren, the commissioner of the Montenegro Administrative Office.
"I won't be working here as an errand in the future, right?" Pan Mila asked while taking bathrobes and toiletries from the suitcase.
Lu Ming smiled: "That's not necessary. Just send a chief administrative secretary to help you handle the chores. Old Gong is no longer able to do it. He is now the governor of Longgang Zhengpai County."
Pan Mila laughed after hearing this, "This is really strange. Does that mean that I don't have to show up and can be promoted to a high-ranking official? In other words, my dear husband is the best, and your little wife will rise to heaven.
What!" The words that followed were so soft that the bones of those who were so irritated were numb.
Lu Ming was helpless: "You did it on purpose, right? I know there will be something serious later, and I can't do anything to you!"
Pan Mila smiled proudly and carried a bunch of things into the bathroom.
…
The office of the Administrative Commissioner is spacious and elegant.
Lu Ming and Pan Mila were sitting on the soft couch in the reception area. Lu Ming slowly sipped tea, and Pan Mila elegantly stirred the coffee with a small spoon.
Sitting across from him was a handsome middle-aged man, Xia Liren, Commissioner of the Montenegro Administrative Office.
He is Mrs. Hu's distant cousin, and his status in the Hu Group is second only to Mrs. Hu's brother Hu Dingjin.
He frequently glanced at Panmila with eager eyes.
This made Lu Ming frown slightly. In this era, this is what women do when they come out to do things. Especially for a beautiful woman like Pan Mira, and in a hierarchical bureaucracy, it is actually very difficult to work under a man.
Of course, it's easy to think about it.
"Commissioner Pan, it's like this. In the Montenegro Administrative Office, the attendance system is still very strict. You seem to be an entrepreneur, right? I hope you can spare more time to work in the office!"
Xia Liren didn't pay much attention to Lu Ming.
Lu Ming didn't interrupt much. It seemed that this guy was on the same side as Mrs. Hu and Hu Dingjin, and he didn't hide his dislike for him ever since they met.
Maybe, he also deliberately acted to have a higher status than himself in front of Pan Mila.
"I'll try my best to take my time." Pan Mila said calmly, putting down the little spoon, "Commissioner Xia, I'm leaving!"
Xia Liren was stunned when he saw that the Western beauty really got up and walked out, and the annoying man followed behind her.
Xia Liren slowly leaned back on the sofa and frowned.
How could an outstanding woman like Commissioner Pan fall in love with such a pretty boy and help him join the New Army? She seemed to be some kind of commissioner. I heard that the official was not a junior one, so I was really blind.
But recently I met with my cousin and wanted to arrange for my close friend to join the new army. My cousin was hesitant and didn't know what was going on.
…
The sound of high-heeled shoes clicking echoed in this somewhat old administrative building, and the beautiful music produced by the impact of the wooden floor and stiletto heels was very pleasant to the ears.
Walking beside Pan Mila, Lu Ming thought that Commissioner Xia had mistaken the order of cause and effect, or that he had the old impression that he was an agent and a pretty boy.
Obviously, this guy is a pure nepotist, far worse than the brothers Hu Dingjin and Hu Dingshan. He seems to be the third person, but in fact, if there is any important matter, the Hu family brothers and sisters will not discuss it with him, including disputes with themselves.
Because he can't help, he can only add trouble.
Cousin? There are some rumors, but I don’t know whether they are true or not.
Seeing Pan Mila's sullen face, Lu Ming smiled: "You should be happy. This Xia Liren is handsome, but he is a fool, confused, and his information is not good. He seems to be the third person in the Hu family. He is comparable to
Hu Dingshan is far behind. Let me see, within a few months, you will be able to sit on the position of commissioner." Then he smiled and said, "Why are you angry? Some people look down on me. I can't ask for this feeling!"
He smiled again: "Let's go back to the hotel and chat."
Pan Mila's stiff expression immediately became subtle. She looked around, wanting to say something, but she didn't.
Lu Ming smiled: "We'll talk about it when we get back."
Actually, there is something very important.
Mrs. Wilma called and said that after her many pleas and even going to the imperial capital to cry, the Privy Council of Imperial Nobles and the Great Emperor had agreed that Frey's daughter Bisi would succeed the Duke of Haussburg.
However, Frey was newly deceased and assassinated, and Bis was young, so the knighthood ceremony will be held in late spring next year.
Mrs. Wilma hung up the phone after saying that. The meaning was obvious, that's it, it's up to you.
This involves many issues.
For example, the knighthood ceremony for a duke must be held in the imperial capital, and the emperor will confer the knighthood himself.
And after becoming a knight, will Bis live with Lady Wilma?
Mrs. Wilma must have meant this. She was too lonely, and now she was living alone in a coffin. Therefore, she needed someone to accompany her, even though she knew clearly that this kind of companionship might mean being buried with her.
Fortunately, there is still more than a month before the Chinese New Year, and the knighthood will be in March or April next year. There is still half a year, so let's slowly think of ways to deal with it.
Today, there is no need to tell Pan Mila, so as not to upset her, and...
Lu Ming glanced at the sexy beauty walking in front, her butt tightly hugged by the ice blue skirt, and the seductive waves swaying in the rhythm, and his heart became even hotter.
