my wife is a consul

Chapter 160 Back on track
In the "Empire Dream" long-distance luxury car, Lu Ming looked at Jennifer who was sitting timidly beside him, amused and speechless for a while.

All the way out, she really just grabbed the corner of her clothes and followed her into the car regardless of other people's eyes.

"You follow me like this, what do you want?" Lu Ming asked helplessly.

"I, I don't know..." Jennifer lowered her head slightly.

Lu Ming shook his head: "Where do you live now, I will take you home."

"I, I was originally in the West District, but there are Beiguan, Beiguan, I, I think recently, I live in Beiguan..." Jennifer replied softly.

Lu Ming nodded, remembering, the set mentioned in the will, Sanliwan Garden, is a villa area similar to the American country style, and most of the people living there are Westerners, and Westerners in Beiguan probably don’t More than 1 people live mostly in the Three Mile Bay community.

In fact, the houses in Sanliwan are really not expensive, and they are not considered an upper-class community. After all, they are mainly two-story wooden buildings with small areas. With the shift of the development center of Beiguan, the Sanliwan area is also From the once prosperous place gradually ended.

There is a convention in Sanliwan Community, and the sale of a house requires the consent of all owners.

The main thing is to prohibit the sale of houses to other ethnic groups, but it will not make things difficult for others.

Sanliwan Community is also one of the Beiguan constituencies, belonging to the No.20 third constituency.

This Beiguan house may have been bought for her by the old Renault when he was arranging the funeral. The temporary arrangement was in a hurry, so there was not much room for a good house to choose.

"Go to Sanliwan." Picking up the phone, Lu Ming informed the driver in front.

Glancing at this timid little white rabbit, Lu Ming suddenly became curious, "Jennifer, your father, what did you say about me? Want you to marry me?"

Jennifer lowered her head and said nothing.

Lu Ming rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Jennifer, look, you are going to marry me as the fifteenth concubine, right? Then how can you be a concubine? First of all, do you want to listen to me and everything? What? Your father... my Uncle Renault, did that tell you?"

Jennifer whispered, "Yes."

"Okay, what did Uncle Renault tell you about me? You tell me now." Lu Ming coughed, feeling as if the big bad wolf was bullying the little white rabbit. Moreover, Uncle Renault... alas, old Renault's undead heard Does this title make your scalp tingle?
Jennifer was silent for a while, then whispered, "My father, I'm talking about you, I'm talking about you..." She glanced at Lu Ming secretly, and there was a hint of panic in her pale blue eyes.

"Don't be afraid, I won't be angry if Uncle Renault says anything to me..." Lu Ming's tone was extremely gentle, he gritted his teeth in his heart, and I won't be angry.

"He said about you, that although you are very vicious..." Jennifer said the word "vicious" very softly, "But, but, as long as you promise, if you promise, you will definitely do it, so..."

Lu Ming nodded, maybe sometimes, the person who understands you best is really your enemy.

……

In Sanliwan Community, the style of the two-story rural wooden buildings is very uniform. Although the paint colors are different, they are very coordinated and give people a very harmonious and beautiful feeling.

The San Mile Bay Community Covenant does have requirements for the exterior of the house and the lawn, which is different from that of rural Zhongzhou people who can do whatever they want in their own homes. It requires that the appearance of the houses of the residents must meet the requirements of the community and not damage the overall style of the community.

The black stretched luxury car drove into this block, still attracting many people to stand at the door and watch.

After all, most of the Westerners here belong to the common class, to put it mildly, they are the middle class, white-collar workers of companies and the like, but they are not thrifty like Central Africans, know how to enjoy life, and live a more refined life.

Jennifer's new house is in the middle of a row of small American-style wooden buildings, not far from the small square with the flower pool and fountain.

Inside the low white wooden fence, a black-haired maid in her forties was mowing the lawn. She was a little surprised to see a luxury car parked in front of her house. Then she saw Jennifer who got out of the car, hurried over, and pulled away. Fence Gate: "Miss, you are here."

Jennifer whispered to Lu Ming, "She is Hill, my maid since I was a child. She came here a few days ago and started to organize things here."

Hill bowed respectfully to Lu Ming, "Master..." Zhongzhou was fluent.

Obviously, she also knew what happened.

Lu Ming nodded to her. The black-haired and deep-eyed He Saiheren would basically be regarded as a part of Westerners, but in fact, his status is relatively low among Westerners, and most of his work is physical work , but in my own eyes, Jose and people are a bit like Latin people.

Hill led the way, and Lu Ming and Jennifer entered the wooden building. The living room in the porch is very spacious, with a dark green gingham sofa, coffee table and TV. The layout is very casual, and the kitchen and bathroom are also very good.

Hill made coffee and went outside to mow the lawn again.

Jennifer took off the delicate silver floral top hat and the silver hairpin. Her beautiful chocolate-colored long hair cascaded down like a waterfall, slightly curly, reflecting her delicate little face, making her more pure and beautiful.

Lu Ming sat on the sofa, stomped his feet vigorously on the dark brown wooden floor, and said with a smile, "Actually, I really want to live in this kind of cabin, it's very down-to-earth."

Without touching the coffee on the coffee table, he said, "Okay, your people have been delivered, and I should go too! It looks good here."

Jennifer stood up, lowered her head, and said in a low voice, "I'll meet you at Wendebao tomorrow. I will bring the driver and car myself, and I won't bother you to deliver them."

Lu Ming smiled wryly: "Why do you want me? Do you want me to agree to marry you as your concubine?"

Jennifer's pretty face paled slightly, she bowed her head in silence, and there were tears in her eyes again.

Lu Ming coughed. What he said seemed vulgar to this innocent young lady who grew up in a small greenhouse and was loved by thousands of people and received noble education. It's just revealed.

But it's still a bit cruel, Jennifer is too pure, it's really like a puddle of clear water, moreover, it's the clear fairy liquid that was enshrined in the past.

I don't understand the sufferings of the world, and I live in the dream world woven by others, but it is also because of this, that the whole person is so simple, so that he has the extremely precious and high-level pure temperament.

Just a carefree little princess who doesn't understand anything at all.

Old Lei Nuo used to protect her too much. Although she is from an aristocratic family, there are very few such carefree little princesses nowadays.

After thinking about it, Lu Ming smiled: "Look, I now have two concubines, and a prospective concubine that I plan to marry. I have two concubines, one is a fairy, and the other is... Can help me make money, looks and body, that is the flower level of the Empire, my prospective aunt, is my childhood sweetheart, or a very good prosecutor, police officer, and you, want to be my [-]th aunt, have you? What specialty?"

Jennifer lowered her head, "I, I can play the piano, ride a horse, and dance ballet..." The more she said, the more confident she became, and she reached out to wipe away the tears that were falling down her face, so that she would never choke up and cry in front of this man , because my father said that what I hate most about such a man is a girl who knows how to cry all day long.

Looking at her, Lu Ming felt helpless for a moment, he might as well just sit on the ground and cry, crying out all the grievances, embarrassments and sorrows of this period of time, it is really distressing to be like this now.

"Okay, okay, I will seriously consider your request..." Lu Ming coughed, as if it was a bit weird, such a beautiful and elegant noble lady with a huge dowry would chase after you to be your concubine, You reluctantly agree to think about it, and feel that you are almost not a normal man. However, you feel that you are too happy now. The three aunts and wives all have their own opportunities. If you ask for more, God will be jealous of you. Unfortunately, it's better not to live too arrogantly.

"Well, you promised, you will seriously consider it! My father said, you are the most trustworthy person in the world!" Jennifer looked up happily, and for the first time she felt a little happy, probably because of her father's last wish , thanks to her hard work, she finally took a small step forward and be happy.

And her pure and beautiful face, at this moment, although she looked happy, but in the deep light blue starry eyes, there seemed to be a hazy layer of mist, very beautiful and charming, but it looked more and more distressing.

A little bit of wish was fulfilled, and everyone wept happily.

Lu Ming was helpless, what about you?

……

Nearly a month after the assassination of the border commissioner, the campaign office finally reopened.

When all the campaign officers were summoned, hearing Lu Ming announce the good news, the office immediately burst into joy.

"The election is not very good, is it?"

The chief of affairs, Murong Xue, and the deputy chief, Mr. Gong, were called to the office by Lu Ming. Lu Ming smiled after asking, "My question seems stupid."

Indeed, in the most critical month, the campaign has died down, and the candidates are more deeply involved in the whirlpool of murder cases. Where will there be supporters?
"How much support does Cao Ying have?" Lu Ming asked.

Murong Xue handed over a stack of materials, recent polls, including clippings of Cao Ying's various activities.

Apparently, while the campaign office is temporarily closed, she has been gathering data on her opponents.

"Well, in the latest poll, 60.00% nine, not to mention, the opposition rate is more than 20.00%? It's a bit high. It seems that, anyway, we have some loyal fans in the third district? Oppose him Yes, there should be 5 to 10 points, are we fanatical supporters?" Lu Ming flipped through the materials.

Master Gong nodded: "He doesn't have a very good way to deal with your community canteen idea. He has always been known for his sharp pen and his daring to criticize current affairs. However, everything you have done for Huahua's grandchildren has been widely spread in the third district, and almost no one knows about it. Apart from writing a few articles, he has no actual actions."

Master Gong is completely different from before, with a solemn face, obviously knowing that now is not the time to flirt.

"Boss, so it's not like we don't have a chance. If Cao Ying is willing to have the originally planned televised debate with you, that may be the only chance to turn things around. However, I'm afraid he won't agree to debate with you on TV at all. gone."

Lu Ming nodded. The gap between the two was too big. Even if Cao Ying felt that he had a 90.00% chance of winning the TV debate, he wouldn't go crazy with him. Wouldn't it be nice to go steadily to the end and win the election?
"Well, it was originally about the second week of the TV debate, the two of us coordinate the time ourselves, right?" Lu Ming pondered.

Murong Xue and Master Gong nodded.

Lu Ming turned his head to look at the calendar, today is December 12th.

There are 6 days in a week, 12 weeks in December, and now, it happens to be the Monday of the second week.

And in the fourth week, starting on the 20th, voters officially cast their ballots.

Preliminary results will be released on the 21st.

After the Election Supervision Committee reviews the voting results, around the 23rd or 24th, the new councilors will be declared officially elected.

Then came the handover of work and so on. On December 12, the new term of parliament held its first meeting and elected a seven-member committee.

"Think of a way to force Cao Ying to agree to have a televised debate with the boss." Master Gong gritted his teeth, "It was revealed that he had committed adultery with a married woman, and he was the head of the office who had served him for many years. There were some rumors in the first place. We have a lot of money in our account, and we buy headline advertisements in major newspapers, criticizing him cryptically." After a pause, "Well, the tabloids will put some blurry photos on it."

Murong Xue frowned, but didn't say anything, the election campaign was filthy and terrible.

My own boss was even framed for doing such a horrible thing.

Although I do not agree with what Lao Gong said, I will not strongly object to it. This is the job of my own affairs officers.

Lu Ming waved his hand, "It's too three-legged, why don't I kidnap his wife and force him to argue with me."

Master Gong was stunned and laughed dryly. Although the boss was obviously joking, but...

Master Gong secretly looked at Lu Ming's face. As his boss, he might not be able to do such a thing.

The big case involving the shooting and killing of a border committee member actually shows from a certain angle that the boss is a dangerous person, and his opponents are also dangerous people.

For example, Cao Ying, if others wanted to attack him and pour dirty water on him, they would not make such a huge and scary case, because his social circle would not be able to do such a thing.

It's also about having an affair, and that sort of thing, the crotch stuff of men and women.

"Go first, let me think about it." Lu Ming waved his hand.

The two had just left when Datou knocked lightly on the door and came in.

Lu Ming smiled: "The club has resumed normal activities?"

"Well, I want to say, didn't I order an armed helicopter from Sanmai? Didn't I, don't want it now?" Datou said hesitantly.

Lu Ming knew what he was worried about, and smiled: "It should be delivered early, from design to manufacture, it is the first time, the first real armed helicopter in the history of our empire, what concept do you think, the fastest It will have to be delivered in half a year, so there is no need to return it, just wait to receive it."

"It just feels a bit exaggerated..." Datou smiled wryly. In fact, militia organizations are more prevalent in western states.

East China Sea used to have a lot of militia organizations in the West, but now Freedom Force can be said to be the largest armed militia organization in East China Sea. Almost all the key members are from Central China, and they even have to order an armed helicopter.

Of course, since there were no armed helicopters before, there is no legal provision prohibiting private clubs or social organizations from owning helicopters.

The big head always feels that if this continues, even if the boss has all hands and eyes, it seems a bit dangerous.

What just happened is a lesson for the past.

"Looking back and moving, most of the left-wing regiment moved to the countryside, so it's not so eye-catching, so it's not an exaggeration!" Lu Ming looked at the big head and smiled: "You think so?"

Thinking about it, it seems right. After all, some villages in remote mountainous states and provinces, even people from Central China, have militias organized by squires to fight against bandits and the like.

The militia organizations in the westernmost state of the empire are even more confused about the rights and wrongs of the border and western city-state refugees, smuggling groups, and tobacco trafficking groups.

Lu Ming pondered again, "Also, let's wait until the middle of next year, when everything is stable, I plan to recruit more veterans, register a mercenary company, and help friendly neighbors, isn't there a war between the two prefectures of Yingzhou recently? This kind, in the future, we can collect money to help with errands, idle every day, I heard that many people are itchy? You also told me that if it is expanded, there is no way to manage it, and we are afraid of collective robbery and the like, give us The club has caused disaster? After all, they all have guns, and when there are too many people, they dare to do anything. Then find something for them to do frequently, and use it as a practice."

"However, we must evaluate it well. We are here to collect money, not to die. We will not participate in confrontations with disparity in strength."

"In the early days, we can also participate in some small fights."

The big head listened and nodded repeatedly.
