my wife is a consul

Chapter 441 Birthday Banquet
The grand banquet hall on the second floor of the Red Rose Hotel is splendidly decorated with lights and festoons.

The exquisite birthday cake, two people tall, looks like a snow-white dream tower, and it is decorated with flowers, which is very beautiful.

Today is the 30th birthday of the first lady of Shengjing, the wife of Baron Rodson, the chief director of the board of directors.

Celebrities gathered in Shengjing, and almost all the top figures were present.

Mrs. Audrey was born in a famous family in the imperial capital. Her father once lost power and was temporarily exiled here, but now her family has been reused again.

However, Baron Rodson has been suffering from bronchitis since he married the continuation lady, and it has nothing to do with the soaring status of his wife's family.

Everyone knows that Baron Rodson's flattery can be ignored, but if he offends Madam Audrey, it will be difficult for him to move forward in Shengjing. Moreover, he must be punished, and his mind is extremely small.

At the master of ceremonies, on the long table, there are a variety of precious gifts. It takes a lot of thought to give this Mrs. Audrey a gift, not only expensive, but also tasteful. Both are indispensable, otherwise It is likely to be self-defeating.

When Mrs. Audrey appeared in the hall wearing an incomparably gorgeous silver tutu dress, the atmosphere became even more heated.

It is indeed beautiful, with the lazy and extravagant atmosphere unique to female nobles, the tall and gorgeous bun decorated with snow-white feathers, it may take a few maids to work hard to tightly bunch into a thin perverted waist, and it is like a giant umbrella. Lu Ming's gorgeous fluffy skirt reminded Lu Ming of those luxurious French noblewomen in the TV series "Peerless Queen".

Regarding Mrs. Audrey's family, there are many rumors in the Northern Territory, and they can't figure out the current situation of the imperial capital.

Lu Ming did know that the Audrey family was actually from Sonia. The Kingdom of Sonia, where the second prince is now the king, has indeed reappointed the family. Mrs. Audrey's father has served as the Minister of Public Works in the cabinet of the Kingdom of Sonia.

But if you really want to interfere in the affairs of the Northern Region, then the Kingdom of Sonia is even more impossible, and it is separated from the vast areas in the southwest and central regions centered on the imperial capital that the First Prince actually controls.

At this time, Lu Ming was sitting in the corner, which was out of tune with the warm and festive atmosphere here.

Hovers squeezed in the crowd for a long time, finally found him, with a wry smile on his face: "Brother, you..."

Lu Ming was invited by Hovers. Hovers is the owner of the Red Rose Hotel and the organizer of Mrs. Audrey's birthday party this year.

Originally, I thought that this was the last rare opportunity. I thought that Brother Zhang could clear up the relationship with Mrs. Audrey. Once he got Mrs. Audrey's favor, things would turn around.

Fat Pidur, who was beaten to death, had a wife who was born to Baron Rodson's ex-wife. Madam Audrey had always disliked this stepdaughter and son-in-law.

Therefore, Madam Audrey's birthday is a very good opportunity, as long as Madam Audrey is made happy, everything will be fine.

But I didn't want to, this brother Zhang just sent a birthday card.

Hovers looked at Lu Ming and smiled wryly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Lu Ming smiled at him: "Actually, I didn't want to come, but I wanted to take a look at some people here and study their current mentality, so I came here." Patting Hovers on the shoulder, he said meaningfully: "Old Huo, there may be great changes here, but you don't have to worry, with me here, you won't be in too much trouble."

Hovers was stunned for a moment, and asked, "What great change?" In terms of the most accurate intelligence assessed by all parties, the Black Mountain Department is already well-known in the Northern Territory.

Lu Ming smiled and was about to speak when a middle-aged Rendanhu man in a suit and leather shoes slowly walked over there.

Hovers knew him, and Masayoshi Kawamoto was represented by Dongying on the Board of Directors. At the same time, Masayoshi Kawamoto was also the envoy of the Kingdom of Dongying stationed in Shengjing.

Hovers smiled and toasted, "Minister Kawamoto."

Masayoshi Kawamoto raised the goblet in his hand to signal to him, then smiled at Lu Ming: "Commissioner Zhang."

Lu Ming nodded slightly.

Kawamoto is a common surname in Dongying, but most of the high-ranking figures in Dongying in the northern region with the surname Kawamoto come from Okugoshi Road.

In Nanping, the young master Kawamoto who was killed by Qing'e was the lord of Okushido Kawamoto's clan.

Okugoshi Michikawa Honke is one of the Kansai powerhouses and a staunch supporter of expansionism in the Kansai Army.

The Dongying garrison in Haixi came from the 15th Division of the Dongying Army Department, which is actually the Aoyuedao Division.

However, from the eyes of Masayoshi Kawamoto, there is no hatred for him.

After all, the Dongying people were going to plan a major event in Shengjing, and they also vaguely communicated with "General Lu" through Yoshiko Asaba.

In the eyes of Dongying people, planning should not conflict with the ambition of "General Lu", and they can even become temporary allies.

But "General Lu" was noncommittal, so Yoshiko Asaba didn't go into it.

But from the ambiguous content revealed by Yoshiko Asaba, I have already vaguely guessed what might happen to Shengjing.

Just when and how?It's hard to judge for a while.

"General Lu" is just a promise, and will not get in the way.

"Commissioner Zhang, I have been wronged recently, I hope we can cooperate happily one day!" Masayoshi Kawamoto smiled and clinked glasses with Lu Ming.

Hovers was just listening to polite words, but Lu Ming knew that there was something in this little Rendan's nonsense.

"This is Commissioner Zhang." A strange voice came from the side, but it was the opium king James who spoke.

Beside James, stood a handsome middle-aged man, who was Paley, one of the three Western directors of the Board of Directors.

Holden, the boss of Guanglifa, who was accused in the Montenegro Concession Court, is this Pali's brother-in-law.

At this time, Holden also followed Pali.

Hovers looked at these people, his face changed slightly, and he turned quietly into the crowd. After all, he still wanted to hang out in this circle.

"Zhang, let me tell you, what does it matter to you if I don't hire Anshan people? What does it matter to your concession court?!" Holden's face was full of anger. This guy doesn't know how to die, and it's not just his own problem anymore, he just vented his anger.

Pali said coldly at the side: "The extraterritoriality of the Montenegro Concession Court, I suggest you, Commissioner Zhang, re-examine and judge. Legal issues also depend on regional customs, not universal!"

James nodded and said, "That's not bad."

Lu Ming swung his wine glass. The difference between Westerners and Easterners is that they are not so reserved, and those who can attack verbally, when encountering such a good opportunity, they rush forward to vent their grievances.

After all, councilors used to rely on duels to solve problems.

Around, a circle of people quickly surrounded.

Lu Ming smiled: "Okay, I should go too!" Seeing Kawamoto Masayoshi's behavior, and seeing that these Westerners still have the leisure to attack him, he knew that everything was a foregone conclusion, and he could go back. Deployed for the best interests of Montenegro.

"You are Commissioner Zhang!" The delicate and sweet Western language, but now Lu Ming can understand it.

Surrounded by a group of delicate ladies, the noble and glamorous Mrs. Audrey in a gorgeous silver dress walked over like stars holding the moon.

Her deep sapphire-like eyes stared at Lu Ming, her snow-white pretty face was full of disgust, "Please leave now, you are not welcome here, and you are not my guest!"

Surrounded by warm applause.

Unknowingly, the Montenegrin people, and the leader of the Montenegrin people, Commissioner Zhang, became the most hated person in the Western community.

Probably because they are still not used to it. There is an ethnic group that has more privileges than them, and even the court of that ethnic group can convict them well, just because you may have offended that ethnic group unintentionally.

Lu Ming smiled and said to Mrs. Audrey, "Happy Birthday!" He put the wine glass on the waiter's plate and turned to leave.

Behind them came even more enthusiastic cheers and applause. In the eyes of Westerners, there is probably nothing more humiliating to a high-class figure than being driven away like this.

Lu Ming shook his head helplessly. If a group is used to extravagance, even if the danger is approaching, it will be difficult to arouse their vigilance.

　Thanks to the students who voted for monthly tickets at the end of the month. Although I am embarrassed to call for votes when I join the army, I am very happy to see students voting for monthly tickets in the background!I also thank Mr. Su for rewarding the leader again!
