my wife is a consul

Chapter 358
Nanping City is the third largest city in Longbei Province, second only to Xin'an and the provincial capital, but in fact the buildings are low and the whole city looks gray.

In Nanping City, apartment buildings are a new thing. Even apartment buildings with shared kitchens and bathrooms on each floor are not accessible to low-level citizens. As for apartment buildings with independent kitchens and bathrooms, they are even more wealthy, including people from the south of the Yangtze River. Merchants, Dongying people and so on live.

Junling Apartment is one of the most famous apartment buildings in Nanping. It is an eight-story building with nearly a hundred suites, including two-room suites and three-room suites. Each suite has a corridor, a reception room, a bedroom, a storage room, and a bathroom. The total area of ​​the suite is about 120 square meters, and that of the three suites is about 180 square meters.

Near the escape stairs on each floor, there are twelve small servant rooms, which belong to the twelve households on this floor. The servants are basically maids, and they use the public bathroom and public toilet near the stairs. They can also be called servants. There is a dedicated washroom, and if they go in and out of the apartment, they can only take the stairs instead of the elevator.

The tenants of Junling Apartment are all middle-class and above, and they are used to hiring 1-2 maids, but they are not the kind of rich and powerful families with countless servants. The structure design of the apartment builder is very close to its user group. The usual activities of the servants are concentrated in a small space without infringing on the space of the master.

There are many apartments with this layout in the empire today.

Lu Ming currently lives in Room 805 on the top floor of Junling Apartment, a three-room apartment.

When he was Commissioner Zhang, his companions were Grandma Tuolong and Guo Xiaoguo.

Lu Ming originally wanted Granny Tuolong and Guo Guo to live in another bedroom, but Granny Tuolong thought that would be too eye-catching, so she and Guo Guo lived in the servant's room in 805, but Guo Guo and Guo also changed their clothes. , the skin is dark, and the shape of the face has completely changed. They look like two slightly handsome little girls from the country, and they wear military uniforms in and out, and look like orderlies. , but wearing a small military uniform is also kind of indescribably cute.

Orderlies and the like are not uncommon in Nanping. Even some company commanders and the like who have earned enough money to go to the city to enjoy life will have a few orderlies to show their prestige. Those who can actually live in the Junling Apartment are mostly in their hearts. I will also despise soldiers who put garlic on their heads.

……

Nanping Road Office, the third floor of the main building.

In the conference room, Nanping's military and political leaders are all present.

Lu Ming was arranged to sit beside Gao Baoshan.

Gao Baoshan enthusiastically introduced Lu Ming to these prominent figures in Nanping. From today onwards, he is Gao Baoshan's special advisor, and Nanping officials are one. Seeing Advisor Zhang is like meeting Gao Baoshan. What Advisor Zhang said , which represents what Gao Baoshan said.

"Mr. Commissioner, can you say a few words?" Gao Baoshan looked at Lu Ming with a smile.

"The commander-in-chief is too high on me!" Lu Ming smiled, "I came here to provide some suggestions based on the friendship and cooperation agreement between Nanping and Montenegro. I'm new here, please give me some guidance!"

The faces of the officials sitting on both sides were slightly calmer, not as ugly as they were at the beginning.

After all, no matter what, I feel that the so-called friendship and cooperation treaty betrayed my own sovereignty a bit, and the so-called consultant is a bit too emperor.

That Cheng Dasui was just a surprise attack, he gained the upper hand at the beginning, but now that he has slowed down, what are you afraid of him doing?

And to say a thousand words and ten thousand, the situation of the Nanping military and political group has become so embarrassing because the Black Mountain Brigade destroyed its own armored regiment.

However, several of Gao Baoshan's cronies had also had secret talks with Lu Shuai, so they all understood.

Montenegro, a budding military and political group, can be seen from the treaty that it has great ambitions and intends to interfere with the affairs of Zhiping, and its wolfish ambitions are clearly revealed.

But waiting for oneself is also hypocrisy, and most of the contracts are relatively general terms, which can be dealt with if lip service is not enough.

If you can take the opportunity to purchase some new ordnance weapons equipped by the Black Mountain Brigade from the core area of ​​the empire, that will be a bright future.

In the end, whoever can achieve the goal depends on the result of the game between the two sides, who has the better means.

Over there, Gao Baoshan sighed softly, "In Jiangning, I failed to reach a settlement with Cheng Dasui, and Cheng Dasui has the support of many high-ranking officials in Jiangning... Dujun Ren sent a telegram this morning, and again It's difficult for me to go to the provincial capital to report on my work!" Looking at Lu Ming, "Commissioner, do you think it's better if I go or not?"

The officials sitting on both sides all looked at Lu Ming, seeing that he was so young, I'm afraid he didn't understand the meaning of Lu Shuai's words, such as going to the provincial capital to report on his work, why is it so difficult?

The head of the Montenegro military group is very young, and it seems that he likes to reuse young people. Now the brigade commander deliberately tests him to see how this guy can make a fool of himself?

Lu Ming listened to Gao Baoshan's words, and smiled slightly: "Cheng Dasui is aggressive and ignores the orders of the warlord. Naturally, the brigade commander cannot do without Nanping."

In front of these people, it's not good to be too shrewd, but it's even worse to be too dull. People look down on you, and it's also difficult for you to move forward in the future.

Gao Baoshan looked at Lu Ming and nodded, "That's right, I really can't leave Nanping now."

Looking at the two neat rows of subordinates sitting at the long table, "Let's get started, the weekly routine report."

The first person to speak was Li Tian, ​​chairman of the Nanping Road Finance Committee, mainly reporting on the recent collection of security donations.

Apparently, a series of recent military setbacks has caused financial problems in Nanpingdao, so we can only temporarily raise taxes and donations, called Wei'an donations.

Lu Ming listened carefully and took a pen to record.

Everyone's attention gradually moved away from him.

……

At the end of the meeting, Lu Ming stayed and chatted with Gao Baoshan. He left Gao Baoshan's office, but saw a person sitting on the sofa in the secretary's office outside. He had a square head, big ears, and a burly figure. Bureau Chief Chen Rongfu.

"Commissioner Zhang, haha!" Chen Rongfu took two steps forward and stretched out his hand. His voice was like a bell, and his bamboo-like hands were full of calluses, very firm and powerful.

"Commissioner Zhang lives in the Junling Apartment, are you used to it? There are mixed fish and dragons there, and the environment is not very good!" Chen Rongfu said with a smile, "Brother, do you want me to arrange a new residence for the Commissioner?"

Lu Ming smiled: "The environment there is very good for me, thank you Bureau Chen."

Chen Rongfu smiled and said: "The commissioner is too modest. Montenegro is full of gold, and the environment is much better than ours. I don't mean anything else. I'm afraid you won't be used to it. You should also know me, brother, those trivial things on the ground in Nanping. If you come to me, if you can’t help Commissioner Lu, it’s okay to arrange a comfortable place to live.” He added: “Anyway, if you can use my brother, the Commissioner just speak up.”

Lu Ming smiled: "In the future, I will have to trouble Bureau Chen." The word "brother" who took the opportunity to get closer, but he couldn't say it.

"No trouble, no trouble!" Chen Rongfu laughed happily.
