my wife is a consul

Chapter 17 Old and New Worlds
The laundry shop is actually closed. At first, Pamela hired workers, and she didn't plan to wash and iron by herself.

There has been no business, and the wages of the workers have not been paid, and they have resigned. According to Wang Daan, there are still workers asking for wages from Pamela.

In the laundry shop, the huge washing machine looked like it had been placed for a while. The washing machine that stuffed clothes into it from the middle cylinder was somewhat similar to the large-capacity washing machine of later generations.

Pamela's mother and daughter lived behind the laundry shop. The living room was elegantly furnished, inside and outside, and outside to entertain guests. On the glass tea table, there were beautiful blue crystal vases and fresh rose bouquets.

Lu Ming sat down on the sofa by the tea table, and Pamela made a cup of strong coffee and brought it over.

After taking a bath and changing into fluffy and fragrant snow-white pajamas and pajamas, Bisi snuggled up to Lu Ming's side, as if reluctant to let go.

"Lawyer Lu, take a look at this..." Pan Mila handed over a lawyer's letter, and said angrily, "I was tricked by someone, and it broke down after a short period of use. I spent a lot of money on repairs, and all my savings were spent on this machine.”

"The machine was purchased from a trading company called Fengshun."

"I approached Wang Da'an, and after communicating with Fengshun Trading Company, he told me that there was no good solution."

"But a few days ago, I received this lawyer's letter, Fengshun Trading Company asked me to stop spreading unfavorable remarks to them, otherwise, I will be sued for defamation."

Lu Ming looked at the letter and frowned slightly, thought for a while and asked, "Do you have a contract to buy this machine?"

"Yes, yes!" Pamela entered the inner room, and after a while, she took out an iron box, which contained various documents.

Including the contract for the purchase of that large washing machine, the bills for subsequent repairs, and so on.

"In the contract, there is no indication of how long this machine can be used for?" Lu Ming flipped through the contract.

"Yes, it wasn't written in the contract, but the signing representative of Fengshun Trading Company assured me that the machine would last at least three years."

"But Wang Da'an said that although verbal promises are also legally binding, because no one else was there at the time, Feng Shun Trading Company didn't have a good solution if they didn't recognize the verbal promise."

As she spoke, Pamela sighed softly.

At this time, the phone rang on the side table, Pan Mila got up gracefully, went to answer the phone, and said, "Mr. Lu, Wang Daan is looking for you."

The call from Wang Da'an said that Li Guan's office assistant had just called the law firm to inform that Li Guan had something to do at night, so the agreement with lawyer Lu Qianxing could only be discussed later.

I don't know how Wang Daan thought that he might be here.

Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief, that little old lady is really not an easy person to get along with, so it's good that she doesn't have to socialize.

"Let me think about this case, but you, stop bad-mouthing this trading company, it's useless at all." Flipping through these materials, Lu Ming shook his head helplessly.

"Cut, who cares about them, you're guilty of being a thief!" Pamela's eyes flashed with contempt, "Small merchants in Central Continent are so despicable and shameless!"

Lu Ming rubbed his nose, "There are still many good people!"

Pamela bit her red lips, but did not refute him.

Lu Ming turned his head to look at Bisi, "In the future, don't go to work or anything. You are young, study hard! Adults, adults worry about it."

Bisi shrank her head behind Lu Ming, listened to Lu Ming's words, and secretly looked at her mother's face.

Obviously, she knew that if this Uncle Lu wasn't here, she would have to be cleaned up. Today has been a mess, and when there are no outsiders, her mother will definitely get angry.

Lu Ming looked at Pan Mila again, "Bis is quite sensible, don't blame her, but you, guarding this laundry shop is not a long-term solution." Thinking about what to say, I feel that I can't help but say something , stood up: "Okay, I'm leaving!"

Said to Bi Si: "I live upstairs, you are welcome to come and play at any time, there is a sister upstairs, you can be her companion if you have nothing to do."

"Uncle, I want to go now." Bisi also jumped off the sofa, her white socks and little feet quickly stuffed into the plush slippers, but she grabbed Lu Ming's hand and refused to let go.

"Don't mess around!" Pamela's charming green eyes immediately turned into majestic eyes that frightened her daughter.

Lu Ming smiled: "Let her go. She must have been terrified these two days. She doesn't have any friends. Her sister upstairs doesn't have any friends either. I think they can play together." Zhen's Mental age, it is estimated that it is not much different from Bisi.

Pamela hesitated for a moment, and asked, "That disgusting fat man, has he moved away?"

Lu Ming smiled: "My family lives upstairs now, oh, I bought this small building."

Pamela was startled, then nodded slightly, and said, "Your wife is here too? In terms of manners, I should also visit." She said to Bisi, "You go first, I'll bake some pumpkin pies and bring them up."

Bisi cheered, and Lu Ming smiled and said, "Don't be too polite." You know, this is the tradition of Westerners welcoming neighbors, giving some desserts or something.

……

When Pamela came up with a large plate of pumpkin pie, Zhenshi and Bisi were enjoying watching TV. It was a soap opera with a lot of snowflakes, and the picture quality of the previous life was unbearable.

But Zhenshi and Bisi watched it with gusto, and both of them laughed very lightly, unlike Lu Ming who had been bombarded by various comedy memes and funny jokes in his previous life.

Bisi giggled endlessly, and sometimes she laughed so hard that she slipped into Zhen's arms, and Zhen also pursed her lips and chuckled from time to time.

Lu Ming watched helplessly. Two idiots made some boring gestures on the screen. Is it that funny?

However, watching Zhenshi and Bisi become like sisters in a short period of time, I feel very comfortable in my heart.

Zhen's is very wary of outsiders, but it's obvious that Bisi is so small that she doesn't feel any threat and can get along with her at ease.

In the future, when she is not around, Zhen will not be so lonely anymore, and they will also take care of each other.

Pan Mila brought the pumpkin pie, and even Mrs. Zhen didn't hear anything, so Lu Ming went to open the door.

Lu Ming coughed, "Hanzhu, come, this is Mrs. Pamela, Bisi's mother, who lives downstairs, our neighbor."

With a cry, Zhen got up hastily, walked over quickly, stood beside Lu Ming, gave a little blessing to Pan Mila, secretly looked at Lu Ming's face, and whispered, "My concubine forgets her form, sir, don't be angry."

Pan Mila was a little surprised at first, this Mrs. Lu is too stunning, too beautiful and charming, right?Wearing this kind of Central Continent traditional costume on her body, she looks like a fairy walking out of a classical picture scroll, with all kinds of charms, gorgeous dress and glamorous face, reflecting the surroundings without color.Even a woman can't help admiring when she sees it, is there such a beauty in the world?

Just about to compliment Mrs. Lu on how beautiful she is, but after listening to Mrs. Zhen's words, she looked at Lu Ming's green eyes with a trace of disdain.

Lu Ming had no choice but to know that Pan Mila thought that Zhen Shi was his concubine from Zhen Shi's words.

Westerners are monogamous, and some of the customs still retained by the Central Continent people are regarded as bad habits, and they are not used to it.

Lu Ming rubbed his nose, as if he had suddenly returned to the 21st century, the kind of despised scene of cheating and flirting.

"Come on, come in and have a seat!" Lu Ming said as he walked, "Hanzhu, I just ordered a few dishes, you go watch your TV, don't worry about anything else, I'll talk to Madam Pamela about something serious."

Mrs. Zhen nodded slightly, but after Lu Ming and Pan Mila went to the balcony, she still made tea and brought it over.

"I'm thinking about the dispute between you and Fengshun Trading Company. I can make them lose some money, but the amount should not be too much..."

Pamela's green eyes lit up, "Then please help me issue a lawyer's letter, so that they will stop harassing me!" Obviously, this matter is too hot, not only being deceived, but also threatened by the other party's lawyer's letter, which is unprecedented Humiliation, but even so, she didn't use too aggressive words.

Lu Ming nodded, "However, even if the other party pays a few dollars, I'm afraid it won't be able to maintain your current life for too long. Bisi studied at a noble school in Beiguan, right? Also, your rent is coming up soon. It's time, I see you have a telephone downstairs, and the monthly rent is quite a lot..."

Pamela was silent, and nodded lightly: "Even if I can pay some money, I have to pay back the wages owed to the former workers first. My rent, can you give me some time?"

If it was someone from Central Continent, Pamila would not beg for it no matter what, that would be too self-respecting, but for some reason, the young man in front of him seemed to be making some requests to him, and he didn't feel that he was losing face, as if, This young man was originally in a higher position.

Maybe it's because I helped her just now and solved a huge problem of hers, which made her not so strong psychologically.

Lu Ming nodded: "The rent is easy to talk about, but to be honest, I don't think it's necessary to continue to open this laundromat."

Pamela bowed her head and said nothing.

This is the way of doing business, no matter how much you lose money, the business is still there, and there is still hope in my heart, but if it is all over, it will lose everything, and there will be no chance to turn around.

"Miss Pamela, it's like this. I have a job opportunity and I want to offer you a job as my personal assistant. How about a monthly salary of 80 yuan? All holidays are normal."

Pan Mila immediately raised her head and looked at Lu Ming in surprise, her deep green eyes were a little wary.

Lu Ming said: "It's like this. I just registered a technology company, and I need someone I can trust to help me keep an eye on it. It's mainly to help me apply for patents or buy and sell patents. Don't worry, you don't need to make any decisions. It's valuable. Guests, I will personally receive them, all you have to do is to leave their information, and I will screen valuable guests myself."

As he spoke, Lu Ming laughed in his heart. Of course, he hired her not because she was "trustworthy", but because of her status as a Western lady.

Those guests, seeing that there are Westerners among the employees of this technology company, especially a supermodel-level Western beauty with aristocratic style, will naturally look up to their company, and will be more interested in their company. Confidence, even in its own company, seems small.

Moreover, with Pamela's knowledge and experience, at this stage, among the clerks who would apply for a small new company like hers, there is no one better than her.

Apart from being ungrounded, Pamela has no problems, and new technology companies really don't need to be grounded.

Get in touch with the latest technological products and ideas.

"I want to think about it..." Pamela subconsciously wanted to refuse, but she wanted to take a tactful way.

It is already difficult for her to accept working for others, let alone working for people from Central Continent, that is too absurd, especially for her from a noble family.

Lu Ming took out Xuelong Phantom's car key, smiled and said, "If you agree, you can drive this car, whether it's going in or out, or meeting guests, it's the face of our company."

Pamela was stunned, looking at the car keys with her deep green eyes, she was a little strange.

Obviously, jewelry, supercars, as long as they are women, they are all fatally attractive, unless Zhen's kind of non-human beings have been completely brainwashed.

"Actually, you can try it first. I also have a one-month trial period for you. If we agree, we will come, and if we don't agree, we will go, right?"

Pamela shook her head, "Mr. Lu, I'm really sorry, but I refuse! If you don't want to help me anymore, then I won't blame you. You have already helped me and Bisi a lot, and I will find a way I repaid you, but I didn't work for you, because you didn't assess my ability at all, and you tempted me with a luxury car, which made me very uneasy, I don't know, what is your real intention for hiring me?"

Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, then smiled. It seemed that he had misunderstood his intentions. Westerners speak very directly.

"Okay, but we are still neighbors upstairs and downstairs. I didn't say what I said just now. Since I agree to your lawsuit, I won't break my promise." I don't bother to explain that it's not what you think. Means nothing.

Moreover, I have a little more respect for the Western beauty in front of me. Thinking about how I just got the car keys, it adds to the misunderstanding.

I didn't think much about it, but I felt that driving was too tiring and I urgently needed a driver. Pamela thought that it would be much more convenient to pick up and drop off her daughter if she had a luxury car instead. etc. are more valuable.

But I didn't want to, I was misunderstood, thinking that I was hooking her up with a luxury car, so I refused more firmly. Apart from being funny, I couldn't help but respect her a little more.

Of course, there is no need to explain. For many things, the more you explain, the deeper the misunderstanding.

At this time, the doorbell rang, listening to the voice, it was the dinner deliverer.

……

The meals are hearty.

Duck and taro corner, Zhang's crab meat box, brocade chalcedony, three treasures of partridge, etc., six dishes and one soup, all are local famous dishes, full of color, flavor and taste, which makes people's index fingers move.

With Zhen's enthusiasm to stay, Pamela and Bisi also stayed.

Pamela has a very elegant demeanor, eating slowly with a knife and fork, and Bisi is the same, holding a small knife and fork, eating slowly in small bites, although she looks like she wants to gobble it up, but she also imitates her mother, tasting small bites, It looks very cute.

Zhen's was even worse, all her thoughts were on serving Lu Ming, and she tasted a few green vegetables lightly.

Looking at these three, Lu Ming felt a little helpless. The food here was not lively at all, and there was no atmosphere of eating and drinking.

However, it seems that I have also tasted a few tastes.

No one spoke, only the slight sound of knives and forks hitting plates.

If outsiders look at it, the four of them are all of the same type.

"Miss Zhen, are you still used to living here? I don't know in the future, can I ask you to go shopping?" Pamela broke the silence at the dinner table.

"I don't like shopping." Zhen smiled gently.

Pan Mila took a deep look at her and said with a smile: "Then I'll help you arrange door-to-door service from the department store. Mr. Lu is very rich, so you don't have to save it for him."

Zhen nodded lightly: "That's fine, I can choose some fabrics and make some new clothes for my grandfather."

Pan Mila was speechless immediately, and said to her heart that the department store must choose ready-made clothes. You have already paid the service fee for the door-to-door service, and you still care about saving a few dollars for making clothes?

However, Mrs. Zhen asked Lu Ming happily: "My lord, can my concubine be brought up with cloth?" Of course she wasn't doing it to save money. Since she was educated since she was a child, she never had any concept of money. For the best man in the world, what is money?
Lu Ming smiled, and said to himself that the two of you are talking like chickens and ducks, people in two worlds, two ways of thinking.

It's fun if you make friends.
