my wife is a consul

Chapter 299 Westworld
At the Bron Hotel, the entourage has already started to pack their bags and prepare to go to Milton State.

The lawsuit here can be handed over to Potlem to finish.

While Lu Ming was drinking tea in the tea room, Potlem and Hanmali came in.

"Boss, Hanses is here to negotiate a settlement." Potlem smiled.

Lu Ming smiled: "Leave him a lawyer's fee, 100 yuan, which is almost the same, otherwise, I'm afraid he won't even get the lawyer's fee."

Potlem smiled wryly. The boss was much more ruthless than himself. He chatted with the village representatives, and the villagers accepted 500 yuan.

In fact, it was indeed to leave a way for Hansies. The one who brought the lawsuit to him was an unemployed middle-aged man. If he lost the lawsuit, he must not be able to pay the lawyer's fee.

Therefore, even if the amount of compensation for legal fees cannot be reached, Hanses will definitely fight to the end.

And many people in my own law firm are dragged here, and the local overhead added by labor, if it is dragged for another half a month, it will be far more than 500 yuan.

"100 yuan..." Potlem nodded, "Okay, 100 yuan."

Lu Ming took a sip of his tea, "100 yuan, for the villagers, each household has to share two or three yuan equally. For them, it may be a month's expenses. In other words, from the direction of this lawsuit, they didn't have to pay any money at all. Money, so it’s expensive, I’ll pay the money, transfer [-] yuan from my private account to the account of the law firm.” Shaking his head: “Hammills is too poor, otherwise, counter-claim that he has caused damage to Luoshan Guo’s reputation. Bad influence, we can recover the cost of our trip to Hanzhou this time."

Potlem could only smile wryly.

Lu Ming pondered, "Let's go back to the Beef Association. This organization is fatter and juicier. It has monopolized the beef industry in Milton State for decades. It should be interesting."

Potlem smiled helplessly again, and said, "I'll go talk to Hansies." Although the 100 yuan settlement agreement felt like sending beggars away, in fact, thinking about it, it was also his own law firm, although it was not big, but The relationship between the boss and the many lawsuits he has received is really no different from that of a big firm, because the existence of the strategy (moot court) department has obviously improved the winning rate of the lawyers of the entire law firm.

For Hansies, reaching a settlement of tens of dollars or hundreds of dollars should be commonplace.

Batlem left, but Hammary didn't follow, hesitant to speak.

Lu Ming looked at her, "What's the matter?"

"Sir, about the case in Milton State, I don't know if I have the honor to continue to study with you." Hanmali summoned up her courage and asked in a low voice.

Lu Ming nodded: "Yes." From the boss's point of view, it is no problem for Hanmali to become a qualified employee in the future, and there are many lawyers in her own law firm who have less potential than her.

As long as you don't look at her from the perspective of a master, she also has something remarkable.

Moreover, to be honest, beautiful lawyers are also scarce resources, which are good for improving the image of law firms.

My law firm is about to relocate to the urban area of ​​Donghai, and will expand in the future. At least, it is inevitable that the top ten cities in the empire will gradually have semicolons. Some good seedlings will make them yearn for their law firm in advance , is not a bad thing.

So, without thinking too much, Lu Ming nodded in agreement.

Hanmali was overjoyed immediately, "Okay, thank you, sir!" She bowed deeply, and walked out with brisk steps, as if she was about to dance.

Lu Ming looked at the gift box on the table, it was a gift for Pamela's parents.

While chatting with Pamela's father, Stuart, I heard that Pamela's mother, Evana, felt that life in the East China Sea was boring and wanted to return to the old farm life.

When Stuart talked about this topic, he meant that Evana didn't know how to be blessed when she was blessed, and that she wanted to be a farmer even though her life was good now.

After all, Stuart opened an art gallery, went in and out of high society, and his life returned to its previous peak.

Moreover, opening an art museum back then was only superficially glamorous, but in reality it was heavily in debt.

Today's art museums are backed by strong resources and background, and their income is very good. After all, a Huaxia Group buys artworks from here when they need it, which is enough to support several art museums, not to mention the collateral effects.

Consequently, Stewart scoffed at the idea of ​​his wife wanting to go back to life on the farm.

Lu Ming took it to heart, this time he was going to Milton State to file a lawsuit, so he called yesterday to invite his father-in-law and mother-in-law to visit here, and if the mother-in-law liked any farm, he would buy it for her.

Of course, both the father-in-law and the mother-in-law are here, Pamela heard the news, can she not come?
It's also a good time to talk to her about Bisi.

As for the situation over there, I already have a clue, and it depends on how Pamela wants to deal with it.

……

In less than an hour, I arrived at Bucks City, the capital of Milton, from Bloom Airport.

Many cities in the western states are named after animals, such as Raccoon City, Bucks City, etc. Of course, this is a free translation, and the transliteration of Bucks City is called Millsong.

Bucks City is not the most prosperous city in Milton State, but the most central city.

This is the case for most of the territories of Western immigrants in modern times. The administrative center is usually in the center of the region, but it often does not become the most developed city in the region. In fact, it is not deliberately separating the administrative center from the economic center, but the administrative center city. It is very important to choose a central area in the era of underdeveloped transportation. After that, the relocation of the capital's administrative agencies is a major project, and it cannot be decided by the administrative agencies. If the parliament does not approve it, it will not move.

On the contrary, it has become a traditional gathering area for Westerners hundreds of years ago, and it is normal for the economic center and administrative center to be combined.

According to the standards of the previous life, Bucks City is a small town with 10,000+ people.

But the administrative area is well-equipped with a small airport for fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters.

Douglas' farm, not far from Bucks City.

The manor is huge, with thousands of acres of land, stretches of wheat fields and corn fields, which can be described as distinct.

The pasture where thousands of cattle are raised is adjacent to the farmland area.

Moreover, nowadays, the farmland is almost like the American farm in the previous life, and it is already semi-mechanized.

Even if there is no tractor head for power turning the soil and sowing, there are still many horses, pulling the disc loosening and planting machine, and walking back and forth in the farmland.

Along the way, watching this scene, Lu Ming sighed in his heart. Although mechanized agricultural production in the plains of his motherland had become the norm in his time, the gap in the same period was incalculable.

Today, there is probably a similar gap between the four northern provinces and the five southern provinces, and the farmers in Milton State.

Uncle Douglas is tall and majestic, with a red neck, and he often did farm work in his prime.

Although he was about the same age as Li Guan, at first glance, this Uncle Douglas was a strong man with a beer belly.

He enthusiastically led Lu Ming and his party into his manor. The huge windmill, the wooden building, the river in the distance, everything seemed leisurely and beautiful.
