The Golden Years Club is a three-story palace-like building that is resplendent at night and is a paradise for dignitaries.
At this time, in a private box on the third floor, four guests were playing blackjack. The dealer was the most beautiful and skillful dealer in the club, named Meizi. She was wearing a burgundy floral cheongsam, revealing her long legs in snow-white stockings.
The red high-heeled shoes look beautiful and dignified, and the extra-long blue crystal earrings are even more eye-catching.
Lu Ming is one of the four guests. The other three guests are all middle-aged men. Next to them are beautiful female companions, all of whom are the top princesses in this club. Only the seat next to Lu Ming is empty. Blackhead stands
Half a step behind him.
One of the three guests, a fat, short man like a winter melon, is the deputy section chief of the Comprehensive Section of the Mining Bureau, his surname is Liu, and his name is Liu Hedao.
It was he who asked Lu Ming to come here to meet him, and they would play cards whenever they disagreed.
But now, his face is getting worse and worse.
Because after playing for almost two hours, he only won more than 200 yuan, which was lost by the two companions. Because Lu Ming also won more than 500 yuan, which was more than 800 yuan, and it was the losses of the two companions.
Before the card game started, Liu Hedao repeatedly said that the temporary closure of Boss Lu's mine was just a minor problem.
But this boss Lu didn't seem to understand. He was very serious about playing cards, not to mention deliberately losing money. Instead, he spent every penny and won a lot of money.
Both of his companions looked sad. They were just his followers and not particularly close to him. They wanted to drink some soup. Their incomes were not very high. Although they had a lot of gray income every month, if the two of them were
Now the money lost is divided equally, which is more than 400 per person.
In the urban area of Montenegro, the average monthly salary is only more than thirty yuan. Although they are high-income earners, their income is only more than one hundred yuan plus various gray income. This way, their income for a quarter is gone.
There were chips on the table, and when they went out to settle the bill, the two of them took 500 yuan each. Looking at the dwindling chips in front of them, they both wanted to cry without tears.
"Boss Lu, I feel that your mine is quite troublesome!" Liu Hedao said suddenly, looking at the cards in his hand.
Lu Ming smiled, "That's why I came to the city to file a lawsuit!" In fact, he couldn't get involved in this kind of yamen brat. But sometimes brats are difficult to deal with. For most wealthy businessmen, Liu
It is true that people like He Dao cannot be offended, like
In this kind of gambling game, if you deliberately lose a few hundred yuan to him and settle the account, at least he will not deliberately cause trouble for you in the future, and he will act like a familiar person. If you work in the Mining Bureau in the future, you will have such a person to call you a brother.
, there will be fewer people who deliberately create difficulties.
To the people at the bottom, Liu Hedao was even more superior.
Obviously, he should rarely encounter someone as unscrupulous as himself.
Sure enough, Liu Hedao's expression suddenly changed, he threw the cards down and said, "I won't play anymore, I won't play anymore, it's boring!" He stood up and said, "I have something else to do, let's go first!"
Lu Ming nodded: "Chief Liu, don't forget to settle the bill. The box fee here, the food and drinks you asked for, and the tips from these ladies are all paid by you, right?"
Liu Hedao's face was ashen and he said nothing. He strode out of the box and his two followers hurriedly followed him.
Several female companions also hurriedly packed up their remaining chips and chased out.
Lu Ming shook his head: "This small amount of money can make you lose money, and you still want to date me..."
The black head was helpless. The longer he followed his boss, the more he realized that his boss was sometimes so angry that he would kill himself.
"Sir, do you want to make an appointment with other guests? If not, I will help you clear the chips?" Meizi asked from the side.
Lu Ming nodded: "Okay, but your tip has nothing to do with me!"
"Understood, this is all my job." Mei Zi pursed her lips and smiled.
Lu Ming nodded, stood up, and walked to the sofa leisure area on the other side. The long blue crystal coffee table was filled with various sumptuous wine dishes, fruit plates, and open bottles of brandy.
Lu Ming sat down with a smile, looked at the year and brand of the brandy, poured himself a glass, sipped it, and said to the black head: "Come on, the boss is treating you today. You really like to drink brandy, and the rest is yours."
, Well, it’s pure product and the taste is okay, don’t waste it.”
"Master, drink what's left. I'll take it back and drink it." Blackhead naturally didn't dare to sit with his master, but he licked his thick lips and went back to relieve his hangover addiction.
Lu Ming was dumbfounded, then smiled bitterly. He really had servants just like his master, and he had to pack them up. He really didn't waste anything.
Leaning on the soft sofa, Lu Ming was thinking about the planned plan, the points of fighting this lawsuit, and how to deal with Judge Sharif in court using the legal principles that he had to abide by even if he pinched his nose.
"Sir, this is the 525 yuan you redeemed with your chips." The crisp voice on the side was none other than Meizi, holding a tea tray with five red 100-yuan bills, two 10-yuan green bills, and five 1-yuan coins.
"Okay, the change is my tip for you." Lu Ming took five hundred-yuan bills and two ten-yuan bills and handed them to Black Head, who hurriedly took them and put them away.
"Thank you, sir!" Mei Zi put the tea tray aside, walked over, and sat lightly next to Lu Ming.
Seeing Lu Ming looking at her in surprise, Mei Zi smiled sweetly and said, "It's not service time yet. Since sir won't leave, I'll sit with him for a while. Chief Liu has set a time for the afternoon."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "That's a lot of money?" He was originally planning to give himself a good deal, so not to mention the box fees and food and drinks, he asked for four of the top-priced princesses here, and the best ones.
Dealer, how much does it cost?
"I know Section Chief Liu at the bar, and I got a 50% discount, which is more than three hundred yuan!" Mei Zi pursed her lips and chuckled.
Lu Ming nodded. Prices here are still low. The full price is more than 600 yuan, which is the maximum cost for an afternoon at the best club in Montenegro. But whether the princesses will show up, the cost of the show, etc. is another matter.
.
Liu Hedao made an appointment with him, and he just wanted to go out and relax, so he came. In addition, he should teach that guy a lesson. Don't just try to extort money from a foreign businessman. Sooner or later, you will hit a wall.
He smiled at Meizi: "Okay, go ahead, time is money, and the right way is to make more money!"
Just then, there was a gentle knock on the box door. Meizi stood up and opened the door. Meizi was a little surprised to see the person coming: "Mr. Sloan?!"
A very handsome young Westerner came in.
Lu Ming waved to Mei Zi.
"Okay sir, if you need to call me again, I won't ring the bell until you leave." Meizi said, ducked out and gently closed the box door.
Lu Ming didn't know this young man named Sloan, but Judge Sharif's youngest son was named Sloan and was studying law at Imperial University.
There are very few Westerners here, and there are no gathering areas for Westerners.
After Meizi closed the door, Sloan immediately let out a strange cry and rushed over, "Idol, I finally see you in person! I have always wanted to go to the East China Sea to see you! You, you are more handsome than in the publication!"
Blackhead was obviously on alert, fearing that if Sloan didn't kneel down on one knee when he got close, Blackhead would kick him away.
"Worship, I want to worship!" Sloan knelt on one knee and worshiped with both hands.
Lu Ming was stunned, then frowned slightly.
Seeing Lu Ming's displeasure, Sloan stood up and said, "Sir, I, we are in school, and we are used to worshiping idols like this. Yes, I really express my feelings. I don't mean to make fun of you. How dare I?
Our tutors all admire you very much! Especially since you are so young."
Lu Ming nodded: "Okay, sit down. You are the fourth son of Judge Sharif, right?"
Sloan nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I am a student studying at Imperial University. I am in my third year this year. I have a few days off and came to Montenegro to visit my father. I came here to have a party with my friends today. I didn't expect to see Mr. Lu." He quickly understood this Lu Dalu.
I don't like noisy things and immediately become more disciplined.
"Did you just see me?" Lu Ming asked.
"Yes, but if my father hadn't mentioned that you were in Montenegro, I wouldn't have dared to admit it. Knowing that you came to Montenegro, although the students wanted to visit you, my father had long issued a strict order not to allow students to have contact with you. I didn't expect that you could
Seeing Mr. here, then the father can’t blame the students!”
Lu Ming nodded: "Your father knows I'm coming?"
"Well, sir, I went to the hospital to submit the indictment a few days ago. My father saw you from the office window. He has always been paying close attention to you. He has also seen your photos several times in newspapers and magazines, and has also studied one of your cases.
Video tape, so he knows you."
Lu Ming picked up the wine glass and took a sip slowly.
It seems that although Sharif is soft-handed in making money here, he is still a member of the legal profession and is still very concerned about the people and affairs of the legal profession in the core areas of the empire.
Then this case would be difficult to handle. After all, my original plan was to take it by surprise.
To be honest, the judge is his biggest opponent in this lawsuit.
At this time, Sloan chuckled: "Sir, my father has not thought about food and drink these days, but he is very worried. As for the Mining Bureau, he gets a dividend of 200,000 yuan every year. Sir, now he is coming to trouble the Mining Bureau. Is he not afraid?"
?”
Lu Ming shook his head. It seemed that he had unknowingly become one of the great figures in the empire's legal community. However, he was probably not a serious authoritative figure, but some kind of weird, wild bull.
Then he looked at Sharif's son, who had a stubborn head, and said with a smile: "You don't avoid me."
"Sir, if necessary, I can testify for you in court! I hope my father can quickly return the stolen money and leave here. It is already the 1950s, and the sword of Darkeus has long been hanging high in the sky. Even if Mr.
If you don't come, someone else will come sooner or later, and my father has been getting deeper and deeper into it..." Sloan looked very serious, and sighed softly as he spoke.
Lu Ming waved his hand: "I'm not here to sue your father. How can I use you as a witness? Besides, it's human nature to hide from each other, so I won't use you as a witness."
"Sir, can the student tell you a secret?"
"No need." Lu Ming waved his hand again and said: "If we talk about legal issues, I will give you some time. For the rest, forget it." Lu Ming raised his wrist and looked at his watch.
"Okay, okay, it's great luck for students to get guidance from Mr. Sloan!" Sloan's face was full of excitement. "My roommates would be jealous to death if they knew about it. Sir, after going out in a while, we arrived at the bright place. Students can
