My Wife is a Counsel Chapter 9: Stable Love Song

Under the grassy slope, a small figure stood next to a maroon horse, weeping while applying ointment to the horse.
Actually, although Jennifer is not yet sixteen years old, she should be about 1.7 meters tall. However, the head height of this horse should be two meters. In addition, it is quite big. Standing in front of it, it naturally looks small and delicate.
Lu Ming couldn't help but frown as he walked closer. This red horse did indeed have scars on its body and legs. Moreover, there were quite a few scars. Some of them looked suppurative. If it were a human, it would have been unable to bear it. It screamed in pain. Although the pain-sensing nerves of animals are generally underdeveloped, it is conceivable that it can feel a lot of pain.
However, it is very spiritual. It knows that its little master is taking care of itself, and it has forgotten the pain on its body. From time to time, it rubs its head against the little master and sways its pony tail happily.
"Hush", Lu Ming made a gesture, and the female clerk in an apricot red uniform skirt who hurriedly greeted him bowed and lowered her voice: "Hello, boss!"
"Are you Bi Xiaoting?" I kind of forgot what the clerk who gave it to Jennifer looked like. Although I felt that she should be Bi Xiaoting, asking would be less embarrassing than turning around and admitting the wrong person.
"Yes, boss!" The girl smiled sweetly, not feeling that there was anything wrong with the boss not recognizing her at all. She had crescent eyes, a charming smile, and she was pretty.
"Did you contact Jennifer here?" Lu Ming asked.
This is a stable at the Old City Racecourse.
"Yes, boss! After such a thing happened, I think it is no longer appropriate for the fifteenth wife's horse to be placed in Zheng Zhongshi's stable. But boss, my ability is limited. I have the stable at Xinfadi Racecourse. I contacted several companies, but none of them were willing to accept it, so I had to contact the old city. I'm sorry!" Bi Xiaoting bowed deeply again, looking very remorseful.
Lu Ming nodded.
In the East China Sea, just like Hong Kong in its previous life, licensed horse trainers are a monopoly industry with a fixed quota, which will only be filled by new ones when old trainers retire.
The Xinfadi Racecourse has a total of thirty-six trainers, that is, there are thirty-six stables, and the trainers are the owners of the stables.
Each trainer has a large team. When they retire, the stable will usually be passed on to the most capable or their favorite disciple.
The horse owners they came into contact with were all either rich or noble.
Not to mention that Zheng Zhongshi is the champion trainer, and has been the champion trainer for the last five consecutive years.
In other words, the horses in his stable have won the most championships for five consecutive years.
Last year, horses from Zheng Zhongshi Stable won more than 200 of the more than 800 races held at Xinfadi Racecourse, including 5 of 12 first-level races.
This is an amazing winning rate.
Not to mention the bonus, when added together, it must be an astronomical figure.
Although 60% has to be paid to the horse owner, the rest has to pay for the stable and team fees.
But his income must be among the top class in Donghai, and his social status is also among the upper class, and he belongs to wealthy families.
According to the regulations of the East China Sea Jockey Club, each trainer in Xinfadi can only keep a maximum of 80 horses in his stable.
Seats are limited.
But which horse owner doesn’t want to give his horse to him for training?
It would be difficult to imagine his status outside the horse racing circle, but Lu Ming felt that his status in the horse racing circle must be much higher than his status in the legal circle. After all, he had not experienced a long-term test.
Most aristocrats and celebrities are involved in horse racing and do not necessarily deal with lawyers often.
The other stables in Xinfadi will not accept the horses that come out of Zheng Zhongshi’s stable and make an unpleasant noise.
It’s already good that Bi Xiaoting can find a stable in the old city.
"Princess Love" is injured and actually needs more professional care. Although the Old City Racecourse has declined, there are still ten stables and a professional horse racing hospital.
"You did a good job!" Lu Ming smiled at Bi Xiaoting.
Looking at her, Lu Ming's expression became serious, "Chief Murong Xue, when you told me what happened to you, you were very vague. I guess you hid some secrets for the sake of your reputation. Please tell me in detail now. Tell me, what happened? Did they do anything excessive when they took you to the mountain?"
Bi Xiaoting was stunned, looking down at her toes, "No, I really didn't do anything."
"Okay, then I have nothing more to ask!" Lu Ming wanted to raise his voice and call Jennifer.
"Boss, it's like this..." Bi Xiaoting gritted her teeth, "Actually, it's also my fault. I, I shouldn't have used the name of the boss's affairs officer to see Zheng Zhongshi. However, I couldn't see him at all. I couldn't see him, let alone him. I couldn't see anyone who was actually in charge. The one who sent me was the horseman. I told the horseman that I was the clerk of a congressman in Beiguan. I didn't say which congressman it was. ."
Lu Ming nodded.
"Then, someone really took me into his office, but when he saw me, he suddenly asked me to take off my clothes and told him that he had slept with many women, but he had never slept with the parliamentary affairs officer. , Why do you get so excited just hearing the name "Secretary Officer" and talking about my uniform..."
Bi Xiaoting lowered her head, "Anyway, he said a lot of unpleasant things, saying that if I was obedient, he would train Princess Love well and not let his apprentices train him. I was shocked at the time, but later I realized that I was very serious. Tell him that my boss is also a very powerful lawyer. What you said is sexual harassment, and I will send you a lawyer's letter."
"He just said, lawyer, right? OK, I'll make a call."
"He made a phone call and told me that he wanted me to go with the person who came. He said that he had made an appointment with you. Oh, he didn't mean with you, but with your boss. I thought at the time He was talking about you, thinking that you knew him, and the matter of the fifteenth wife's horse racing could be solved, so I got in the car with his people."
Even more quietly, "Actually, I wanted you to see how hard I worked, so I was so excited that I didn't expect it to be a scam..."
Lu Ming nodded: "So, from beginning to end, he did not harass you, and he tricked you into going up the mountain."
Bi Xiaoting whispered: "Yes, and when they got to the mountain, they attacked and threatened me verbally, but they didn't really do anything. But I was really frightened, so I apologized and wrote a letter of repentance, which contained roughly It means that I will never harass Zheng Zhongshi again."
"After I came back, I consulted with lawyers from other law firms. Just like what you asked, boss, they heard that he didn't really harass me, and he tricked me into getting into the car without forcing me. He just He threatened me, and I wrote an apology letter not to harass him again, and sent me back the way I came. They said that if we file a lawsuit, we can't sue him at all. The most we can do is sue those few gangsters for intimidation, but the most we can do is sue him. An apology or something like that might smear my reputation, so..."
Lu Ming nodded. According to current legal principles, this is indeed the case.
At this time, there was a sudden cheer.
But Jennifer, who was concentrating on taking care of the horse, turned around and saw Lu Ming, and immediately ran over happily.
She was wearing a snow-white female rider uniform and a beautiful pink knight helmet. She was pure and sweet like candy. When she ran to Lu Ming, her eye circles suddenly turned red, "Little Jenny, little Jenny was beaten like this. Already..."
Looking at her pitiful appearance, Lu Ming felt a little uncomfortable.
Having lived in a greenhouse since she was a child, she has no ability to survive at all. Now, the father who loves her most is dead. The person she originally entrusted to her is actually a person she is very afraid of. He doesn't care about her at all and sends her casually. The affairs officer ignored it.
Now, it’s like a child being bullied, but if you want to complain, you don’t know who to complain to.
I think these days, I have been crying every night, thinking about my father.
Moreover, she didn’t know who told her that in front of her, she would not shed tears even if she felt aggrieved.
"Whoever hit little Jenny, I'll hit him later... I'll scold him!" Lu Ming originally wanted to say, I'll hit him back, but when he said it, he changed to "Go scold him", so as not to frighten the people in front of him. Xiaobai Fumei felt a little helpless in her heart.
"Yeah!" Jennifer nodded her head vigorously.
Gently stroked a strand of messy hair exposed under her pink helmet. There were obviously tears on it, and the dust here was a little dry and sticky. This was the first time for this little noble girl who was always as clean as the clouds in the sky, It was actually dirty.
"You must be having a hard time these days..." Lu Ming sighed softly, "Your father is gone. If you have any grievances in the future, please tell me, okay?"
Jennifer was stunned, looking up at Lu Ming in a daze, her eye circles getting redder and redder.
Lu Ming gently helped her dry her sticky hair.
She couldn't bear it any longer and threw herself into Lu Ming's arms, crying loudly.
Lu Ming gently held her in his arms, listening to her cry louder and louder, crying until she was out of breath, crying, "I miss my father" and so on.
Lu Ming felt sour in his heart and patted her back. Although he didn't know how to comfort someone or what to say, he thought, this kind of patting was a kind of comfort.
After a while, Jennifer's crying gradually turned into sobbing, and then slowly stopped. However, she did not dare to move. She clearly turned her little head secretly, as if she wanted to see her face.
Probably, after venting her grievances, she remembered what someone told her, not to cry in front of herself.
Lu Ming was funny and patted her on the shoulder, "Okay, little Jenny is going to kick me in a minute, thinking I'm bullying you."
Ah exclaimed, Jennifer hurriedly got out of Lu Ming's arms to look at the horse, and was relieved when she saw that the horse didn't move.
Lu Ming slowly walked a few steps and gently stroked the brown hair of the red horse. The horse looked at him with soft eyes, as if he could feel the kindness and compassion of the person in front of him.
"They are all external injuries. They will be fine after being raised for a while. Later, I will build you a stable and hire a few specialized grooms. What kind of competition are you competing for? Just buy a few more horses and let them play happily every day." Oh, that’s not right, these top breeds of racehorses, it seems, if there is any work goal that is better for them, then let’s compare ourselves with ourselves..."
"Well..." Jennifer nodded vigorously.
"Oh?" Lu Ming turned around and saw a tall and thin man standing next to Bi Xiaoting.
Bi Xiaoting walked a few steps quickly and arrived in front of Lu Ming, "Boss, he is the owner of this stable, his name is Ma Zengli."
The man also took two steps forward, stretched out his hands, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, it's an honor to meet you."
Lu Ming stretched out his hand to shake his hand and smiled slightly: "You have a good surname, and the name Zengli is also a good one!"
Ma Zengli said with a smile: "Many people say this, but to be honest, sir, my surname is my original surname, and my name was changed after I entered this industry."
Lu Ming nodded: "There are a total of forty-six stables in Donghai that are recognized to participate in professional competitions. You are one of them. You are also one of the forty-six horse trainers in Donghai. In this industry, you are also considered Very accomplished.”
Ma Zengli smiled bitterly: "Mr. Lu, you are too polite."
The thirty-six stables at Xinfadi Racecourse are several grades higher than the ten stables at Old City Racecourse. There is a huge difference.
Lu Ming smiled again: "Anyway, thank you for taking in Princess Love and using a small stable to house it."
"It should, it should!" Ma Zengli apologized with a smile.
It is not wrong for a Middle-earth native to think with his toes, lower his posture, and even fawn over such a beautiful young Western aristocrat as his fifteenth wife.
"Take care of little Jenny first." Lu Ming smiled at Jennifer, "I'm going back to the law firm, and a clerk will come over later to replace Bi Xiaoting. I can be of some use to her."
"Oh..." Jennifer's face immediately dimmed.
Lu Ming thought the same thing. Not only did he leave, but he also wanted to take away Bi Xiaoting, who had already established a trusting relationship with her, and who might even be regarded as her only friend today. The little girl was naturally shocked.
After thinking for a while, "Let's do this, Bi Xiaoting!" Lu Ming waved to Bi Xiaoting: "You go to the Newcastle Hotel opposite, right? Book the best rooms, and then call the law firm. Ask Wang Daan to arrange for my apprentices to come over, and also tell Murong Xue that I am working in Newska these days."
Bi Xiaoting had already habitually taken out a small notebook and recorded it carefully. When her boss finished speaking, she agreed, bowed deeply, and trotted away quickly.
"I'll stay with you here, okay?" Lu Ming smiled at Jennifer.
Jennifer nodded happily immediately, but then she said timidly: "Master, I don't need your company. You have to work, so don't pay attention to me."
"How can that be done? What job is more important than my little Jennifer?!" Lu Ming was stunned after saying this. Where did he learn this? Have you watched too many vulgar movies and TV series about past lives?
Jennifer lowered her head with a red face, feeling happy and shy at the same time,
As for Ma Zengli, seeing the two of them talking about love, he had already made a farewell gesture and returned to his office on the second floor of the stable.
