My Wife is a Counsel Chapter 179: Inertia
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of My Wife is an Archon!
Late at night, the "Wang's House" in Anxi City.
In the study, Lu Ming paced slowly, thinking about the chemical plant in the suburbs.
There are also changes in Longbei Province.
Actually, there is no secret military information sent here. He is "Section Chief Wang" and lives the life of an ordinary household registration policeman.
But when thinking about the problems in the Northern Territory, it seems that I come here habitually.
The chemical plant is actually a comprehensive fertilizer plant. The explosion occurred in its ammonia assembly workshop. The explosion was caused by the hoarding of raw materials. It was caused by improper human operation. Preliminary investigation does not suggest that it was a sabotage act by hostile forces.
The investor will be heavily fined, not only compensation for the casualties but also related pollution control costs and punitive fines.
Relevant persons responsible will also be prosecuted.
In fact, the investor "Longyue Chemical Group", Huaxia Group owns 18% of the shares and is also one of the major shareholders.
For investors, this kind of accident is definitely what major shareholders hate the most. Not to mention human lives, from a purely economic perspective, the heavy losses are their own pockets, but they still have to be heavily fined. Only in this way can the employer feel more pain and pay more attention to production safety.
The door was knocked softly, and Bai Narcissus came in. She was wearing an elegant peach-white satin plum-blossom buttoned jacket and short skirt, revealing Bai Shengsheng's two slender legs. She wore embroidered milky white soft-soled leather shoes, which gave her a classic and elegant beauty. Perfectly combined with modern beauty.
"Your relatives and friends in Long'an, have you taken it over? Were they not affected by the war?" Lu Ming asked.
"Yes, we are all here in Anxi, thank you master." Bai Narcissus is in a good mood recently and becomes more and more beautiful because she met her family.
Of course, neither her family nor her close friends who accepted her persuasion and came to Anxi do not know her true current situation. They only know that she is married here and her life is very stable.
Hearing this pretty little beautiful woman call him "Master", Lu Ming felt slightly strange. Since he gave Bai Narcissus the status of "female queen", at Bai Narcissus's initiative, several women in the house also called him the same name. Gradually they all became “masters”.
Not to mention Qing'e Hongling, who is closest to me, "master" is not "master". This kind of title just feels friendly.
In the Western Regions or other border areas, those who grew up with a slave mentality are called "master" differently.
But being called "master" by women with modern ideas such as Bai Shuixian, Kan sisters, Pei Wanjun, etc. is another feeling.
As for the civil war in northern Long'an, the war between Ren Zhonglin's clique and Sun's clique did not reach the provincial capital Long'an.
The Sun family originally hoped that the principality would send troops to intervene, because Ren Zhonglin had been on both sides of the fence and had a history of secret contact with the Japanese.
But I just sent a special envoy to mediate, but now the two sides are jealous, and it seems difficult to end without distinguishing the superior and inferior.
Thinking about it, Lu Ming said: "There will be a dinner party later. It doesn't matter if you accompany me. Even if Corey and Xiao Liu insist on inviting me, he and his wife will treat us together, so I have to bring a girl with me."
"Yes." Bai Shuixian's pretty eyes flashed, she secretly looked at Lu Ming's expression, and said, "Your Highness, Wanjun happens to be on vacation these two days, how about asking her to accompany you? She often walks outside and works with you. When communicating with people, she might be more polite and not leak anything."
Lu Ming nodded: "Whatever."
"Okay, let me go and tell her!" Bai Narcissus' pretty face showed joy and she hurried away.
Lu Ming was slightly surprised to see her joy, and then he understood that Bai Narcissus was a sister from No. 1 who tried her best to help her.
She is gifted, so in Bai Narcissus' view, the sisters in Courtyard No. 1 are all one. She hopes to make as many sisters in Courtyard No. 1 loved by her as possible.
In Courtyard No. 1, she is the eldest sister, along with Pei's Wanjun, Zou's Xiying, Kan's sisters and Shangguan Yusuo.
As for the eldest sister of Courtyard No. 2, Becky, as a Westerner, she obviously does not have the awareness that Courtyard No. 2 and Courtyard No. 1 are in a competitive relationship.
Nowadays, there is Courtyard No. 4, which is the Fourth Western Lady, but Audrey went to the Western Regions.
Margaret and Britney invested in and operated a hotel together. The seven-story hotel, which was originally owned by local dignitaries, was confiscated and auctioned off. The two of them bought it, renovated it and opened it, renamed "Lady Western Hotel". "Hotel" was featured in the local media and became a topic of conversation after dinner, and the business was also very good.
Kate didn't like doing business and felt bored, so she took a class and passed the local postal officer exam. She drove a small sports car to and from get off work every day, and was appointed deputy director of the Jinxiu District Post Office.
This is really due to her ability, multi-lingual talent, not to mention the world she has seen, and it turns out that her husband in Shengjing is the boss who monopolizes the local postal system. Her knowledge of the postal system , not something ordinary people can compare to.
Although he is obviously just here for fun and does not rely on this salary to support his family at all, he is serious and responsible in his work, and he is simply a living sign of the diverse talents of the local postal system. That is why he was specially appointed as the deputy director of the district office. , of course, the district office plus postmen, a total of more than a dozen employees.
In Lu Ming's "royal residence" in Anxi, the only ones who can really be regarded as working outside are Kate and Pei Shiwanjun.
There are two cars in the garage at the back just for the two of them. They are both small sports cars of the same model. They support the domestically produced "Pioneer" of Montenegro's No. 1 Automobile Factory. Although its performance is far inferior to the Snow Dragon series supercars of Nix Automobile Industry However, there are special sports cars for women with bright colors. The Snow Dragon series does not specifically target the female market to consider these things. After all, although there are many women driving in developed cities today, the usual customers are still men.
Today, Pei Wanjun is driving, and Lu Ming is sitting in the passenger seat, driving slowly down the long street of Anshan.
There are not many cars on the street, but pedestrians also have no sense of avoidance. There are many pedestrians walking side by side in the middle of the road, and rickshaws, horse-drawn carriages, etc. are also running struttingly in the middle of the road.
Therefore, the car can only drive very slowly.
However, although she drives a flamboyant sports car, Pei Wanjun's clothes outside are becoming more and more conservative. She wears gray khaki clothes, white socks, lace-up black cloth shoes, and her gorgeous bun has been changed into two braids.
It is a popular dress and hairstyle for urban women in the Anxi Dominion.
Although it is a bit rustic, Pei Wanjun looks very pure and beautiful when she wears it.
The newly returned Anxi Autonomous Territory, the local council has a restrictive attitude towards women's rights. A recently passed law stipulates the shortest size of women's skirts in public places.
Lu Ming doesn't think this is okay. In his previous life, in the 1960s, this was still the case in states owned by Western powers. Bikinis, as swimwear, have been illegal in some areas for a long time.
Many things have a development process.
The sports car stopped downstairs at the "Yingbin Hotel". Lu Ming and Pei Wanjun got out of the car and went upstairs.
After reporting the name of Xiao Liu from the household registration department who booked the room, Lu Ming and Pei Wanjun were led to a private room on the second floor, but Xiao Liu and his wife had not arrived yet.
"Master, are you still waiting for someone else? Isn't this unprecedented?" Pei Wanjun smiled sweetly.
Lu Ming coughed and said, "I used to work as a lawyer in Donghai, and when I first arrived in Montenegro, I suffered too many rejections, let alone waiting for others."
"They will come soon, shall I call you master? Or young master? Or..."
Lu Ming waved his hand: "Just call me Lao Wang!"
Pei Wanjun was stunned and couldn't help but smile.
There was a man's voice outside: "Section Chief, are you here? It's so early!"
A young couple came in, Xiao Liu from the household registration department and his wife.
Seeing Pei Wanjun, Xiao Liu's eyes lit up and he smiled at Lu Ming: "Section Chief, my sister-in-law is so beautiful."
Lu Ming waved his hand and smiled: "Come on, let's order!"
There has been a lot of fire everywhere recently, and my mind has been running at a high speed. However, life in Anxi is a good place to rest my mind and stay grounded.
"Haha, section chief, wait a moment, the treater hasn't come yet!" Xiao Liu laughed.
Lu Ming was startled: "Don't you want to invite me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a voice outside, "Section Chief Wang, Officer Liu, I have arranged the meals!" The door curtain of the private room was raised, and an old man came in, wearing black satin clothes and trousers, he came in and bowed repeatedly, "Sorry , Old man, I was arguing with the kitchen about ingredients, and I was delayed!"
Xiao Liu smiled at Lu Ming and said, "Section Chief, let me introduce to you. This is my third uncle from my hometown. He is a big landowner over there."
"Don't dare, don't dare, Officer Liu, you are very promising now!" The old man took off his hat and said with an apologetic smile to Lu Ming: "Chief Wang, I am Liu Jingsi."
Lu Ming smiled and said nothing.
A few people sat down, and the dishes that were served were very rich and unique. Anxi's local famous dish "Buttery Crispy Chicken" was really the most authentic here. Nothing Lu Ming had eaten elsewhere was as delicious as here.
While everyone was talking, they saw Pei Wanjun's fair and slender hands busy with various tasks for Lu Ming, including removing the fish bones.
Xiao Liu and his wife were extremely surprised.
Squire Liu smiled at Lu Mingpei and said, "Madam should be from a wealthy family, not an ordinary wealthy family?"
In fact, you can tell by looking at Pei Wanjun's slender hands. That kind of whiteness and tenderness is really not something that ordinary wealthy families can raise.
Even though Pei Wanjun did not interrupt, Liu Xiangshen was well-informed and had his own feelings.
Lu Ming smiled and said: "Wanjun works at Jinxiu Branch of Baoyin Bank. Uncle Liu, please take care of me."
Pei Wanjun then took out his business card and handed it to Liu Xiangshen and Xiao Liu.
Xiao Liu and his wife were even more surprised. They were working in a super big bank like Baoyin and were middle-level supervisors in a branch. They made much more money than Section Chief Wang. How could they be so gentle and obedient? The well-behaved one is like Section Chief Wang's maid.
Squire Liu praised him repeatedly, and Lu Ming smiled at him: "Uncle Liu, you said you wanted to transfer your son's household registration here. In fact, isn't your son going to do business? He also bought a shop, so go directly to the department. Just handle it in the office. What, is there someone making things difficult for you?"
"No, no!" Liu Xiangshen immediately shook his head and said with a smile: "Wouldn't it be better if I reported it to Section Chief Wang first?"
Lu Ming nodded.
In the middle, Pei Wanjun made a confession, went out for a while, and whispered a few words in Lu Ming's ear when she came back.
Lu Ming smiled and said: "Uncle Liu, I paid for today's bill, and I'll treat you to this meal. Your son came to Anxi to invest, which is to benefit all Anxi people. Your son wants to settle here. It's legal and compliant, so how can you pay for it?" I can ask you to treat me to dinner, let alone a small section chief. Even the mayor of Anxi should be humble when he sees you and your young master. Of course, I am talking about obeying you out of personal courtesy, not official business. ”
Hearing what Lu Ming said, Xiao Liu and his wife were stunned.
Liu Xiangshen was also shocked. He had no idea what Section Chief Wang meant. Did he dislike the food? Is the environment here not upscale enough?
When it comes to stuffing red envelopes, we haven’t reached that stage yet.
Having said that, Liu Xiangshen was already busy taking out the red envelope he had prepared earlier, but he hesitated when he was about to hand it out. There was one hundred yuan in it, which was the market price. It can be seen that Section Chief Wang The spirit is really not that of an ordinary person, let alone his wife Pei, who is plain and simple, but the skin and the temperament are obviously from a rich family among the rich. One hundred yuan? Are you afraid it's not a curse?
Seeing Liu Xiangshen's hand in his pocket, with a red envelope faintly exposed, Lu Ming said: "Uncle Liu, what I said is true. Our Xin'anxi, as long as it is legal and compliant, if the public servants still want to eat and take No matter which department you choose, just complain! Our ICAC’s complaint hotline is broadcast every day on TV and radio stations. It’s not a show.”
Most autonomous territories have an Independent Commission Against Corruption, which is directly responsible to the Governor. When encountering major cases, the Governor finds it difficult to handle them fairly, and may even reach out to the Prince's Office.
There is nothing that can be done about it. The official-oriented culture in the Northern Territory was not developed overnight. Even if democratically elected parliaments are being implemented, a special agency is still needed to monitor it.
Seeing the panic on Liu Xiangshen's face, Lu Ming smiled and stretched out his hand: "Uncle Liu, you can give me the red envelope. I will report myself later."
I was originally here to relax, but I ended up in a panic. The inertia of a society is terrible. Can I really change it?
