my wife is a consul

Chapter 250

Council meeting.

Hear Bucklow's reasons for opposing the Co-op Plan.

Lu Ming seemed to be thinking about other things, as if his soul was wandering off.

Baquero believes that the "cooperative apartment plan" is actually highly toxic honey, which tastes delicious at the beginning, but after ten or twenty years, whether it is the ambiguity of property rights or property management problems, it may become a serious problem in the future. social problems, especially if such apartments are built in large numbers.

Obviously, he came prepared this time, did his homework, and consulted the opinions of many experts who held opposing opinions.

"Qianxing, last time you said that property rights are very clear, but that's just based on our current legal concepts. Legal norms change very quickly. Qianxing, you should understand this very well."

Gao Wang said with a smile: "Chief member, I think that if we infer this way, we don't need to do anything. No matter what policy we implement now, it may be considered a bad policy in the future, right?"

Baqueluo smiled: "Okay, let's do it, it's meaningless to continue the debate, let's vote with a show of hands, okay?"

"Those who oppose, raise your hand." Baqueluo raised his hand first.

The second person to raise his hand was Dong Wenquan.

Sherlock hesitated, and kept looking at Lu Ming secretly, until Baqueluo looked over with a slightly stern look, Sherlock sighed softly, and slowly raised his hand.

"Okay, this plan will be shelved for the time being, and we won't vote in the parliament yet!" Bucklow nodded in satisfaction.

Looking at Lu Ming again, Barkero said with a smile: "Qianxing, it's good to have enthusiasm for doing things, but every proposal we make involves the well-being of hundreds of thousands of Beiguan citizens, so we must be cautious."

Lu Ming smiled and said nothing.

……

In the Empire State Building, the 99th floor is the tower restaurant and viewing point. From the 70th floor to the 98th floor, it is the Empire Hotel. After all, there are not so many top companies stationed in it. It is the wave of building high-rise buildings. Super companies will build skyscrapers by themselves. Weaker companies are reluctant to pay high rents. Most of the tenants who enter the Empire State Building are upper-middle and large companies.

There are observation decks outside the hotel rooms of the Empire State Building from the 90th floor to the 98th floor, where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery intertwined with the blue sea and sky and the glass curtain buildings in the urban area. The dwelling place of love.

Today, Lu Ming is standing in the VIP elevator, holding a very simple black key plate with the suffix 9802 in his hand.

The elevator attendants on duty 24 hours a day in the VIP elevator are all blond and green-eyed girls in beautiful uniforms like stewardesses. They are quick to speak, and the key plate number of the VIP is the first thing they see.

The words 9802 surprised the blonde, and she even wanted to ask if this young man was a fake key card.

It is strange enough that Zhongzhou people are eligible to go to the 98th floor, let alone Room 1 or Room 2.

However, the longer she works here, the more she realizes that the nobles of the empire have too many secrets that are not known to the public. Some of the things she can see with her eyes are already absurd, let alone those behind-the-scenes secrets.

Therefore, no matter how weird things you see here, you should treat them as if you don't see them, and you can't talk about them with anyone, otherwise, it may be a disaster.

The elevator dinged, and the door slowly opened. Outside, there was already a smiling butler waiting for her. She was wearing a red beret hat, a beautiful bow tie and a lavender skirt and black stockings. The blond and green-eyed girl had more temperament and appearance than the waiter in the elevator. To go two notches higher.

The elevator attendant was relieved, and hurriedly bowed deeply, sending the distinguished guest off the elevator.

The long, beautiful legs in black silk are walking confidently, and the red flower-embellished high-heeled shoes are stepping on the thick carpet.

Lu Ming felt that if she took off her high heels, she would definitely be a little shorter than him, but her legs might be about the same length as him.

This figure is almost comparable to Pamela's, but the legs are slightly round, and from my aesthetic point of view, they are a bit thicker. I still prefer Pamela's slender and long legs.

Then she shook her head. If Pamela knew that she dared to compare her figure with other women, she would definitely pinch herself severely.

The resplendent and large wooden door was slowly pushed open.

9802 Royal Suite, the entrance is a luxurious scene like a banquet living room, and there are stairs spiraling up, it is a multi-floor super luxury suite, upstairs and downstairs, there may be [-] or [-] rooms, and VIPs can pass through from the second floor The corridor leads directly into the tower restaurant.

"Sir, my name is Shirley. From today onwards, I will be the office of Mr. here! I was the final winner from the [-] competitors in the special supermodel class of the Royal Etiquette School of the Imperial City, but if you are not satisfied, Mr. I would recommend other candidates in the top five for Mr."

The pretty girl bowed deeply again.

Internal Record Room... Lu Ming was taken aback. It is a special name for the royal family. Of course, it is not really called Internal Record Room, but a very rare royal term. I feel that the internal record room translated into the language of the previous life is very appropriate.

In general, it is the administrative secretary and maid of the royal male dignitaries, and it is also possible that they also serve as lovers.

My old lady can really give me eye drops.

Because she always comes to Donghai once a month or two, room 9802 is the long-term private room for her and her husband in Donghai. Since the payment is made by the royal financial institution, in the eyes of the hotel operator, this is naturally the long-term room of the royal family. private room.

Mrs. Windsor said that she only comes to Donghai once a month or two, and this suite is also empty, and it will be used by you, brother.

My sister has lived there long enough, and when I come to Donghai in the future, my brother will help me arrange food, housing and transportation.

Lu Ming is still a little curious about this place, and this time, it happens to be able to use this room to do something, so come and have a look.

Of course, I called Mrs. Windsor in advance and asked her if there were any personal belongings in the room, and if there was any room that I could not move by myself.

But I don't want to, this old lady, the "internal record room" has been arranged for me.

I don't know if it's a spy.

Lu Ming came up with this idea subconsciously, but he also knew that with Mrs. Windsor's shrewdness, she would not play such a low-end game. Her current arrangement was only to show her kindness to her brother, and she would not think about controlling it for the time being. For myself, that would only be self-defeating.

"Well, there's no need to change it! You're fine." Lu Ming looked at Shirley and nodded. The royal suite with dozens of rooms really needs a housekeeper who is familiar with the situation and has undergone special training.

It appears that Mrs. Windsor has chosen for herself the best of the best from a school dedicated to producing top-notch service personnel.

A hint of relief flashed across Shirley's blue eyes. After all, the salary here is too high, which is astronomical for her from a poor family. If she wins in the cruel and fierce competition, but is returned by the employer in the end, it will be a real disaster. The cruelest tragedy.

However, since she was a child, she knew how superior her innate capital was, but for the first time she picked it up like a commodity, and in the end, she had to be scrutinized by the Central Continent's employer as an item. When she was waiting for his answer, she felt so sad. Inexplicably feel a little sad.

But now that the dust has settled, it seems that everything is worth it.

"Sir, there are ten maids working under me, but the maid's room area is separated from this place. Only when the husband is away, I will unlock it and let them clean it, or when there are more guests. , I will also choose the right person to serve Mr. and Mr.'s guests." Shirley's tone became much lighter.

Lu Ming nodded: "I will have a few guests in a while, you go to pick them up, and then avoid them." After thinking for a while, "No, after you pick up the guests, you can stay."

"Yes, sir!" Shirley replied sweetly.

……

Outside the floor-to-ceiling glass windows of the reception room is the blue ocean, faintly, and you can see several small islands on the sea in the distance.

On the sofa opposite Lu Ming, sat a western lady with a jeweled look, in her fifties, who was Barquelo's wife, Madeleine.

Sitting there, she looked a little uneasy.

He picked up a long and thin lady's cigarette from the coffee table and lit it, his hands were shaking, and the lighter failed to light after several strokes.

Shirley, who was standing beside her, took two steps, squatted down slightly, took the lighter from Madeleine's hand, and helped her light her cigarette.

"Thank you..." Madeleine forced a smile at Shirley.

Although she was in extreme fear, her childhood education allowed her to maintain a certain elegance.

It's as if the queen who was sent to the guillotine would apologize for stepping on the executioner's foot.

It's hard to imagine that this woman would have a big fight with her daughter-in-law in the barber shop, what kind of stimulation it was.

Although it is said that the hairdressing salons where ladies come and go are not considered public places and have a certain degree of privacy, but they are definitely not private clubs where gossip cannot be spread.

Lu Ming crossed his hands, looked at Madeleine, and sighed softly, "I am a colleague of Commissioner Baqueluo, although, as you may know, our relationship is not harmonious, but I still don't want to see you like this Yes, because of your actions, you are humiliating Commissioner Barkero, and also our entire municipal council..."

"Don't tell him, okay?" Madeleine looked up, with panic and pleading in her eyes.

"I'll help you pay back the money you owe for the time being. This is an IOU." Lu Ming handed a note signed with red handprint and neat handwriting to Madeleine.

Madeleine not only sold off most of the shares in the family business, but also owed usury.

According to the IOU, he owed millions of dollars, but Lu Ming got it back after spending 10, and the rest was an imaginary number of interest.

"You don't dare to tell your husband, you don't tell your son, but you would rather sell the stocks of the family business and borrow high-interest debts, don't you, have you encountered any scam? Tell me, and I will help you solve it." Lu Ming sighed, "Actually, although you are addicted to medicine, you can't use this much money at all."

Madeleine bowed her head and said nothing.

Lu Ming leaned back on the sofa, "Actually, Maggie and Anderson are both dangerous elements of extremist organizations. Have you been bewitched by funding them all the time? Or, because of your daughter-in-law, you hated everything and everything you do. People of different ethnic groups?"

Madeleine looked up in astonishment: "Aren't they professional killers?" Then, her face suddenly turned pale.

Lu Ming smiled, that's why.

Nowadays, there is actually no evidence that the money from the sale of the stock by Madeleine was handed over to Maggie or Anderson.

Come to think of it, the two sides have always been cash transactions.

Madeleine's family business sold more than 50 shares, plus the money borrowed from loan sharks, perhaps, the money from selling jewelry, all kinds of gray income from private houses, etc., I am afraid that there will be 80. If all the money is paid It was just over a year since it was given to Maggie or Anderson, and the money should not have been used up. However, Maggie's residence was not found.

Without any evidence, I can only cheat, which is also a technique of cross-examination, as if I know everything and have all the evidence.

However, this is not an interrogation room, and the conversation I had with her, of course, will not be any evidence.

I asked Shirley to be there because I didn't want to talk to Madeleine alone in the same room for too long. Moreover, I knew what kind of person Shirley was when I saw Shirley, so it should be able to ease Madeleine's emotions.

What's more, since she is temporarily left as the housekeeper here, it is also very important for her to see what kind of person she is.

Speaking of which, I really don't have a suitable housekeeper here. After all, a blonde like Xue Li who has been specially trained in etiquette is not conspicuous here.

From Mrs. Windsor's point of view, since she was chosen, it was only after various careful investigations that she could be sent to her side.

And this suite can help me do many things, for example, I have already made an appointment with a potential business partner, who is also an empire-level business tycoon, to meet here.

Taking advantage of the situation is sometimes very important.

This suite can make others have a lot of reverie.

Another example is Madeleine, who knows that she is her husband's competitor, but when she comes here, subconsciously, she has a much higher status than his husband.

After all, she can barely be considered an upper class, and she still knows some rumors here.

Lu Ming looked at Madeleine and sighed: "They are professional killers, but they are not the kind you think."

"Have you confided in Maggie more than once about your resentment towards your daughter-in-law? This made them focus on you."

"They told you that they could help you get rid of your nasty daughter-in-law, and you, excited, promised to pay them a generous reward."

"Then, um, more than a year ago, your daughter-in-law's maid died in a car accident while she was shopping for groceries."

Lu Ming's head turned rapidly, and all the things that happened in the Bucklow family over the past year flashed quickly, and gradually became clear.

"They did this, but to tell you that they mistaken the wrong person. In fact, they should have done it on purpose and tied you tightly together. From then on, you have also become their accomplice to murder, and your daughter-in-law Jia Before Madam is eliminated, she can justifiably obey you to get money."

Madeleine's face was full of astonishment: "They, didn't they think that the vicious woman was in the car?"

Lu Ming continued, "Just like that, they took money from you again and again, saying they wanted to get rid of your daughter-in-law, but every time, they failed, but you got deeper and deeper. When they wanted to stop, they They started threatening you. They have audio recordings, maybe even images, and you ordered them to kill their daughter-in-law, and you were the one who caused the death of the maid!"

Madeleine listened blankly, full of horror, and never thought that this terrible nightmare that had plagued her for a long time, but the man opposite knew it clearly.

And she, now has to rely on hallucinogenic drugs to sleep.

Seeing Madeleine's expression, Lu Ming knew that his analysis was inseparable, so he shook his head inwardly.

From this line, it is impossible to find out whether Baqlow has any relationship with extremist organizations.

Old Renault's revenge, he must have participated in it, whether it was for political reasons or for other reasons, maybe only he and old Renault knew about it.

But no matter what, this Bucklow family is also very strange.

The mother-in-law hates her daughter-in-law so much that she wants to find a killer to get rid of her daughter-in-law. This family relationship is too messy.

In my previous life, I have also seen cases where parents-in-law killed their daughter-in-law, but the reasons are still very different from the current case. It can only be said that every tragic family has its deep-seated reasons.

"Why do you hate Mrs. Jia so much? She is smart and capable, and she is the successor of the family in the eyes of Commissioner Barkero, and as far as I know, Mr. Barkero has never done anything wrong with her."

Hearing her daughter-in-law's name, Madeleine's eyes flashed hatred, "This vicious woman, the first time I saw her, I knew that she was here to ruin my happy life!..."

Lu Ming was stunned and knew that it should be because of various family trivial matters. In fact, many conflicts have accumulated over time. If they are not resolved in time, they will go in an extreme direction. They may really be willing to wait for the death of the other party.

……

Rubbing his face helplessly, Lu Ming looked at the scenery outside the window.

Madeleine seemed to have finally found someone to confide in. She told herself from the beginning how her daughter-in-law disrespected her when they first met, and then talked about various things for more than two hours.

What made Madeleine most angry was that her daughter-in-law deprived her of the right to make coffee.

In the past, making strong coffee for her husband and son was the happiest moment for Madeleine.

But since the daughter-in-law came into the house, both the husband and son fell in love with the coffee made by the daughter-in-law, saying that it was much better than the coffee made by her.

For this reason, Madeleine had spent a lot of money and time to hire the top barista professors, but every time she wanted to regain her position, she was greeted with deeper disappointment.

The daughter-in-law also told Madeleine with a sweet smile that in the future, she can leave the small things like making coffee to her. She is better than her mother-in-law.

At that time, Madeleine wanted to strangle this vicious woman to death.

Lu Ming felt helpless when he heard that, but what Madam Jia destroyed was Madeleine's last sense of existence in family life, but as a daughter-in-law, she didn't realize it at all, and thought she was very filial.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Mrs. Jia just wants to replace her mother-in-law and become the new mistress of the family.

Everything that is done is a change of dynasty for the new mistress.

Human psychology is sometimes really a kind of university question.

Although it was a headache to hear these messy things, in order to get a deeper understanding of this family, Lu Ming still listened impatiently. There are many details of family trivia, which are very useful for further understanding of Ba Keluo.

Now, there seems to be a buzzing in my ears, as if Madeleine's chatter is still echoing.

The only catch is that Madeleine told Anderson a secret hiding place, and Formosa had already taken someone there.

Thinking about the family life that Madeleine told about Ba Keluo and Mrs. Jia, Lu Ming was thoughtful.

"Sir, I see that you are a bit tired. Would you like me to give you a massage to relieve your fatigue? There is a massage room here, and the ones I prepare are all the best essential oils."

Shirley on the side had been standing quietly, watching Lu Ming rub his face and move his shoulders, and then whispered.

He added: "I have sorted out and recorded what Ms. Madeleine said. You can look at it from the beginning when you are relieved of fatigue. Maybe it can bring some inspiration to your husband."

Ok?Lu Ming was slightly taken aback, this housekeeper is really good, the old lady can choose, as a clerk, that is top-notch, and as a maid, it is even more top-notch, but his face sank, "I will not order you from now on. , Don’t take the initiative to record the content of my conversation with anyone, now, go and destroy this record immediately! Once again, I will fire you immediately, violate the confidentiality agreement, and then, you will bear a huge debt!”

Shirley's face turned pale immediately, fine beads of sweat emerged from her tall nose bridge, her confidence and elegance had disappeared, she hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, sir, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Turning around, she walked quickly towards the study room. Running over there, even accidentally, the high heels twisted, became limping, and entered the study.

Lu Ming shook his head, picked up the microphone by his side, and started dialing.

　I saw a comment saying that I wrote earlier that Alice is the first in line of succession. What is the matter?This is the background setting related to the outline before the book is opened. Before you say that I am not rigorous, is it because you did not read the book carefully enough?I remembered that when I wrote about Christine’s daughter, I wrote that because she was the only child, if Christine succeeded the Grand Duke, her daughter would be the first heir. I remember there was a comment that her daughter was Alice. , Of course, those who read the book carefully will not have such comments. Probably, buddy, you are also one of them, and then the number one pick entered your mind like this?Very helpless.In the future, I will directly delete this kind of messy comments. The main reason is that your comments are at the end of the last chapter. After reading the first chapter of that chapter, others will say that it is you. In fact, this kind of chapter is said to be the author's most annoying. Especially the messy and incomprehensible, and accused me of not being rigorous...

　　To talk about the details, there are indeed mistakes in joining the army. For example, sister Kim Mi-jung and Kim Mi-yeon. Now I always feel that Kim Mi-jung is the sister. I made a mistake twice. The first time I changed it. The second time I automatically reviewed the chapter and asked the editor to release it. Once changed, the chapter will automatically review and disappear, so I didn’t change it. In fact, the main reason is that when the characters come out, Joining the Army is also a bystander. The two of them are already living people in Joining the Army. Two girls with very different personalities, then, I think Kim Mi Jung's character is more like a sister, haha.It's also unavoidable...

　　Well, the complaints are over, thank you comrades for your support all the way!
