There is the most famous cigar club in Hanzhou on the first floor of Times Building.
Now Lu Ming was in the VIP room of the club, watching the skinny old man opposite him puffing away smoke.
This skinny old man is a history professor at Hanzhou University, and he has done in-depth research on the history of the Burung people and is an authority in this field.
But in academia, historians don't have a good opinion of him. Who is a serious expert studying the Bron people? There is nothing to study.
Lu Ming is quite annoyed with this old man now.
Jin Meiyan originally made an appointment to meet her sister today, Sunday.
Who knew that Professor Song, who had originally made an appointment on Monday, was notified at short notice that he would go to the Imperial Capital tomorrow to visit an old friend, which would take about a week. He could spare half an hour today to meet with Lawyer Lu.
But Lawyer Lu arranged to meet at one of the three major cigar clubs in the city. He has half an hour of cigar time every Sunday, and the location is always in one of the three major cigar clubs.
Times Cigar Club is one of the three major clubs.
The club members here are either rich or noble. Lu Ming is the owner of the penthouse in Times Tower and automatically becomes a senior member of the club.
Professor Song happily went to the appointment after hearing that it was the Times Cigar Club. Although the Times Cigar Club was a new cigar club after the completion of the Times Building at the beginning of this year, its reputation soon kept pace with the two old clubs, and it was vaguely one of the three major clubs. The posture of the leader.
When we arrived at the location, we saw that it was a high-end suite. The cigars provided were pure top-grade Nanyang Kesi tobacco, called Kesi No. 1. This cigar costs about 10 yuan.
The old man immediately stopped saying that he would leave in half an hour. He took a few greedy sips and leaned his head back on the soft sofa, as if he was taking drugs and enjoying himself. He even sighed and said: "Now, some Cigars are no longer rolled by hand. They are rolled by machine. Tell me, what kind of world is this? Kesi's is still better. It only takes three years to ferment. Slow work makes fine work. Not to mention this Kesi...it's good. ah……"
Lu Ming smiled and looked at Duan Guiyang beside him.
As her own purser, she is now more and more proficient in her business. Last month, she also obtained a bachelor's degree in law from self-study. It can be said that she has become a three-in-one purser from the parliamentarian's office to the lawyer's office to the prosecutor's office. The affairs of these three offices are finally summarized to her, and she handles everything that does not need to be handled personally.
When you come to the Western States to file a lawsuit, the rotating clerk is naturally not needed, and the clerk will follow you personally.
Duan Guiyuan had already taken out a pen and paper, ready to record Professor Song's words, but the notebook was now blank.
The originally agreed half hour has almost passed, and Professor Song has not yet gotten to the point.
Although Lu Ming felt relieved, it seemed that Professor Song would not be perfunctory and leave immediately, but the meeting with Meizhen was also in vain, so he could only wait and see if he had time in the evening.
Professor Song suddenly sat up straight, his little eyes blinking, "Mr. Lu, I heard that the high-end private rooms here have cigar girls serving them? They are all Burundi, right? We are just talking about the history of the Burungs. How many of them are there?" The Bronn people should also rise to the occasion!"
Lu Ming was startled for a moment. He heard that this old gentleman was a romantic and talented man when he was young. It seemed right.
He nodded to Duan Guiyuan and said, "Call Professor Song..."
"What Mr. Lu said..." Professor Song pretended to be dissatisfied, "It's too inelegant, as if we called it that. I should say, have one more chat partner!"
Duan Guiyuan chuckled: "Okay, Professor Song, I will choose someone for you who has similar interests and can talk to you!"
Professor Song smiled charmingly, and his mustache almost stood up. He smiled and said: "Okay, okay, Miss Duan is considerate and a good assistant to Mr. Lu!" Maybe he was holding something in his heart but couldn't say it out loud. If Miss Duan is willing to light a cigar for me, what else do those vulgar fans do?
Lu Ming was too lazy to pay attention to the old gentleman, picked up the coffee and took a sip.
But it is true that the girls in high-end cigar clubs, in addition to helping with cigars and other services, are actually just chatting with the guests. The guests will talk about everything and brag about the mountains. When there are beautiful women around, they will naturally be more energetic. The more high-end cigar clubs, the higher the quality of the cigar girls. High, knowledgeable, able to join in the conversation from time to time, smart, don't overwhelm others, I heard that there are many cigar girls in clubs in this era who are high school students or even college students.
Not long after Duan Guiyuan left, he led a tall girl in. She was a beautiful mixed-race girl with long black wavy hair and faint blue eyes. She was wearing a black skirt and uniform. She was very sexy and charming.
Professor Song was stunned for a moment, and then his face became full of embarrassment.
The tall girl originally had a smile on her pretty face, but when her eyes fell on Professor Song, her expression changed and she lost her voice: "Teacher?"
Duan Guiyuan came to Lu Ming's side and whispered: "Boss, the crown girl here has a unique price, 20 yuan an hour. She is said to be a student of Hanzhou University and only works part-time during holidays."
Lu Ming was helpless, thinking that you knew it even without telling him. Did you do it on purpose?
However, Hanzhou University is one of the top ten universities in the empire and has more than a dozen colleges. It is normal for students and professors not to know each other. This recognition is a bit of a coincidence.
20 yuan an hour? This is much higher than the consulting fees of most first-stage lawyers. Compared with her, the former Wang Daan was a complete scumbag. It should be said that beautiful girls have advantages, especially beautiful girls from prestigious universities.
"Mary Han, are you working here?!" Jiang was still angry, but Professor Song's expression soon calmed down.
The tall girl looked down at her toes and whispered: "Yes..." and then said very quickly: "Then I'm going out. Teacher, please choose someone else!"
"Don't..." Professor Song blurted out, then felt something was wrong, coughed and said: "In this case, Mr. Lu needs someone to chat with you, don't let my presence affect your work." He sighed, "I've heard about your family background. The difficulty is that the teachers are not good and they don't care enough about you." He changed the topic again, "Of course, working here also means you can adapt to society in advance. You have a good circle of contacts and can gain a lot of knowledge, which will be very helpful for your future employment!"
Lu Mingxin said it was amazing, one, two, three, everything that should be expressed was expressed, the students were retained, the students were not embarrassed, and they were very aloof, and they also expressed their concern for the students, and everything was done for you.
As expected, Mari Han over there breathed a sigh of relief. After thinking about it, she walked over to Lu Ming and bowed gently, then carefully sat down on the milky white couch next to Lu Ming.
Professor Song said: "Mr. Lu, this is Han Mary, a student of our Hanzhou University. She is from the School of Law. She was a freshman last year. The work-study program helped me sort out historical materials for a period of time." Then he said to Han Mary: "This Mr. Lu is a third-level lawyer from Donghai and asked me for some professional knowledge."
Mary Han said softly: "Hello, Mr. Lu." But her eyes were very surprised, as if she was about the same age as herself, a third-degree lawyer? Didn’t Professor Song meet a liar?
Over there, Professor Song leaned forward, "Mr. Lu, let's get to the point. What do you want to know about the history of the Bronn people?"
Duan Guiyuan looked at this expert professor who suddenly transformed into a teacher with dignity, and his beautiful eyes flashed with amusement. He really wanted to ask him now, can he choose another chat friend for you? But I was afraid of ruining my boss's affairs, so I had to hold back my urge to play pranks.
Lu Mingcai ignored the various changes in the psychology of the three people at the moment. It would be better to get to the point as early as possible. He pondered: "The main thing is how the gathering area of the Bronn people was formed, right? In addition, I saw that the Bronn people promoted the independence of the organization. The so-called national flag seems to be a little different from the territory of the Burundi region, why?”
"Oh, this is a long story..." Professor Song picked up the cigar that had just been extinguished.
Mary Han hesitated for a moment, then stood up and walked over, picked up the sterling silver lighter specially made by our club on the tea table next to Professor Song, squatted down slightly, and lit a cigar for Professor Song.
Professor Song nodded with satisfaction, "Look back, I want to talk to you about your matters. Let's talk about it after we return to school."
Mary Han's face paled slightly, and she slowly sat back next to Lu Ming.
Although the cigar girl in the cigar club is indeed not a call girl, her reputation is not good after all. If the school seriously pursues the case, it is possible that she will be punished or even expelled.
But who would have thought? We all know professors from the university, so they can come to this kind of high-end private room?
"The Bronn people were not an independent ethnic group at first. Today's Bronn was a camp for exiled prisoners eight hundred years ago..." Professor Song finally got to the point.
Lu Ming listened intently as Duan Guiyuan brushed up the records over there.
Only Mari Han looked uneasy and didn't know what she was thinking.
