British 1986

All the way to the entrance of the hall, a shadow faintly blocked the way.

Joel raised his head in astonishment. The strong man in front of him looked like a bodyguard but not quite like a bodyguard. His appearance and clothing seemed very inappropriate.

He is obviously tall and strong, with a somewhat honest appearance, but there is still a faint scar on this strong man's face. The suit he wears looks like a butler's dress. It may be because of his figure, but the dress looks tight on his body. .

Looking at the expressionless strong man, Joel was just about to introduce himself when a pair of big hands were handed to him.

"Hello. I am Stone, the intern butler of the Hill family."

"Oh! Hello, hello."

Joel saw the strong man introducing himself first, and then he realized that he had only known Butler Hu Te before, but when did a new trainee butler appear?

This person is more like a bodyguard captain than a housekeeper. This person has such a strange temperament.

After shaking the other person's hand, the hand that was supposed to be put down was held tightly by Stone, the intern housekeeper. Joel raised his hand and looked at Stone with a slight embarrassment and blinked.

"Mr. Joel, my master is studying some business lecture skills recently."

"???"

These inexplicable words made Joel even more confused.

What is the profound meaning of this sudden sentence without beginning or end?

Mr. Allen has changed his temper now? Studying teaching skills. Does this mean you don’t want to be a student, but a teacher?

Xiao Shitou looked at the admissions director in front of him and saw the confused look on his face. He couldn't help but curl his lips inwardly. This was a very poor realization. Fortunately, the young master had specifically told him to warn Joel in advance. Otherwise, when Allen talks to him in person, he won't be able to understand what Allen means.

There are some things that are not suitable for Allen to tell him directly. Instead, others need to tell Joel in private first, and then let him take the initiative to bring them up in front of Allen.

Although doing this may seem a bit pretentious, this is the rule.

Xiao Shitou has a straight temper. He won't talk to Joel about a lot of things in a roundabout way. He can just give Joel a simple and rude reminder.

As for whether Joel can understand?

If you can't understand it, just replace it.

It’s not like admissions directors are the only ones who can work together.

Joel looked at the intern housekeeper Stone, looking at him as if he was mentally retarded, and then stretched out his hand to signal him to follow.

Along the way, Joel couldn't help but look around at the furnishings in the hall.

As soon as he entered the hall, he was attracted by several flags hanging on the innermost wall, some of which he recognized, and some that he had never even seen before.

Among these flags are the flags of the Prince of Wales, the flags of the Hill family, several other flags, and the tattered historical traces that seem to have traces of gunpowder smoke.

The little stone led Joel to the small living room.

For Joel, although he is also a guest, his treatment is correspondingly lower, and he does not even have a procedural visit to the Hall of Honor.

However, this was also canceled with full consideration of Joel’s identity.

As a pure Welshman, coming to the Hill family's manor and visiting the glorious history and cultural relics of the Hill family's suppression of the Welsh region in the Hall of Honor seemed, perhaps, to make him uncomfortable.

Looking at the living room that was full of history, Joel touched the armrest of the sofa that had been coated with pulp and had an unknown amount of history, with a curious look on his face.

It's not that he has never seen old objects before, but he has never been exposed to people of his level who can use old objects as serious furniture.

Everything is so novel, and everything you see represents history.

It can be said that the things in this living room, whether it is the oil paintings on the wall, the furniture in the living room, the small vases on the coffee table, tea sets and other things.

Just take a few pieces out and sell them for enough money to cover his family's extravagant spending for several years.

After waiting in the living room for about ten minutes, there was an unusually steady sound of footsteps approaching from far away.

The footsteps of other servants were very light. Regardless of whether they were busy or not, their walking sounds seemed a little hurried. But this footsteps were unusually calm. Just by hearing this footsteps, Joel already knew who was coming. , stood up quickly, adjusted his chin in the tuxedo, and saw a little mud on his shoes. He quickly took out the handkerchief in his chest pocket and wiped the mud away. As soon as Joel stood up, the door to the living room opened. .

Allen changed into a more slim-fitting British casual suit made of wool. When he first saw Joel, he felt that the admissions director seemed to have gained weight again. He had a round belly and a tuxedo tail at the back, which looked a bit like a bat. penguin in chivalry

After completing a set of formal etiquette that Alan considered to be formal, Alan asked Joel to sit down, and motioned to Little Stone with his eyes, asking him to remove all the tea sets that Joel drank while waiting for him, and then serve a tea set. A new tea.

"Before the closing of the Congress two years ago, do you know what was emphasized at the meeting?"

Allen got straight to the point and asked a question first without being polite to Joel.

"."

Joel shook his head blankly, Congress.

This was too high-end for him. The most high-end person he had come into contact with before was only a certain member of the Welsh Regional Assembly.

As for the Parliament in London, what Allen said most likely refers to the House of Lords.

This thing is even further away from Joel. What can he know?

He can only know what is reported in the newspaper. If it is not reported in the newspaper, haha.

Ordinary people should not inquire about the affairs of noble men!

Looking at the confused Joel, Allen smiled with satisfaction. He hadn't gone to London to hold a meeting with Mao a few years ago, but it didn't matter whether it was held or not. The most important thing was to come up with some high-end and justifiable reasons. .

"In order to promote the international reputation of Wales and expand its influence, I plan to use the school as a pilot to hold a crash course for international CEOs."

"???"

After hearing this, Joel suddenly remembered what he had just heard the trainee housekeeper say at the door of the hall.

Your Excellency has recently been studying some business lecture techniques, and now he is organizing a CEO training class.

This purpose has already been realized.

"Your Mightiness."

"I heard that the school is planning to merge another college recently? Are there enough funds?"

Allen interrupted Joel and asked another question.

Although Cardiff University is not impressive now, they have great ambitions.

The school is going fucking bankrupt, that's all

When schools usually reach this point, they should have already thought about how to make money and make a living.

And what about their Cardiff University?

Instead of reflecting, they tightened their belts and quietly continued to merge with other Cardiff universities.

It just gives people a sense of deja vu that it doesn’t matter whether they have money or not. Even if I am dying of poverty or starvation, I will still grab more things.

Last year, we were so poor that we could hardly take the blame. But this year, we are still thinking of merging with other schools.

"This. This"

Joel rubbed his thighs, and his trousers were almost curled up by his rubbing.

He said with some embarrassment: "The old principal poached a Nobel Prize winner in medicine from London. This academician is still very young. The school plans to use him as the core, and poached several ordinary academicians to form a new school. A new medical school.”

"."

Joel's words, on the contrary, made Allen, who was about to speak, feel a little off guard.

See, is this human language?

Nobel Prize-level academicians were recruited as soon as they were asked, and a few "ordinary" academicians were also recruited to form a new college. How to set up a new college?

Of course I'm poaching from other schools.

True Nima people are poor and ambitious.

But that's fine. This newly established college has made Cardiff University, which is not wealthy, even more difficult to uncover.

"I personally support the school's decision. Since the school is short of money recently, in this regard, I will also donate a sum of money to the school every year, but for some things, rather than relying on donations, it is better to open up the school's further profitability. ,What do you think?"

"Yes, that's what your Excellency said."

Joel almost understood what Allen meant, and followed Allen's words and said: "Then what kind of support do you think the school needs to provide to hold this international CEO crash course?"

"Venue, courses, teachers, doesn't our school have a business school? Just pick out some classic lesson plans from the courses and condense them and summarize them."

Allen stretched out his hand and spoke out the support he needed one by one.

Cardiff University already has a business school with strong teaching capabilities. Allen's logistics major is a major under the business school. The teaching staff is very rich. It is not difficult at all to recruit teachers and venues.

Joel was very polite and said with a tangled look on his face: "These conditions are simple, but we have never done this kind of project before, and we need you to take the trouble to take charge of the overall situation."

"Oh? Hey, I didn't think about that."

Allen also looked like he didn't think well and didn't know how to take charge of the overall situation.

"Your Excellency, do you think this is okay? You are originally studying logistics. Your achievements are obvious to all the teachers and students in the school. In addition to your achievements in business in recent years, why don't you come forward to speak out and give some advice? Are these incoming students giving lectures?”

Allen smiled and said modestly: "Isn't this a bit bad? After all, I haven't graduated yet."

"There's nothing wrong with it, Your Excellency. If you're not familiar with teaching, I'll ask our teacher to help you come up with a lesson plan."

Joel doesn't have any other abilities, but he definitely has the ability to squeeze teachers!

Now that I have understood what your Excellency means, don't you just want to have fun as a teacher?

It doesn't matter to Joel whether he can teach or not. Even if your Excellency can't, what does it matter?

Wouldn't it be enough to ask the teacher below to tailor a lesson plan for him?

What's the big deal? !

"Ahaha, why bother you so much?"

"No trouble, no trouble! I would also like to thank you for your contribution to the school."

Although the two did not say how the profits would be divided, Allen did not need to say this himself. He only needed to come up with suggestions and express his ideas, and leave the rest to others to discuss.

In mid-February, the external situation became increasingly clear.

Iraq was woken up at once, and he quickly recognized his coercion.

But now they want to give in, but the United States is unwilling.

After all the beatings, you gentlemen have just used your strength, and you want to surrender? Our ground forces haven't arrived yet, so we are not allowed to surrender!

Just like that, Iraq wanted to give in, but the United States refused to let them give in. The coalition sent ground troops again, preparing to push all the way and show off its power in the Middle East.

In the study, Allen was writing a letter to Boss Cha with a piece of letter paper.

Dealing with American reporters is a trivial matter in theory, but this kind of thing is still a little troublesome.

If this matter was solved by Allen without the outside world knowing anything about it.

Although as a matter of fact, this is fine.

But if it is solved like this, it will not be of much benefit to Allen.

This is not his own business, but someone else's business. It is good to nip the danger in the bud, but we must also let the people involved in this matter understand the danger of this matter.

otherwise.

Boss Cha doesn't know anything about this matter, so if he takes care of the matter first, it will look very bad.

So in the letter, Allen systematically analyzed the matter.

With things like love brain, of course everything is fine when you meet the right person, but if you don't meet the right person, it will appear very extreme, that is, a bit stupid.

If nothing else, as far as what Diana said that day, even if Allen didn't understand it further, just based on his imagination, she definitely said things to the reporter that he shouldn't have said, such as the privacy issues between their husband and wife.

Depending on the subjective consciousness, it is not certain whether the words are good or not. If the things inside are exposed when this reporter publishes a book, then think about it, the boss's face will most likely be lost.

The other party is an American and will definitely not have any good intentions.

Once the issue of face is involved, the boss will take it very seriously as a person.

Even if Diana receives flowers, he may not care, but if it involves his own privacy and face issues, then he will definitely be anxious.

This is a big deal!

Now all Allen has to do is to write a letter to say hello to Boss Cha and explain clearly the stakes involved, and it is not a small complaint against Diana.

By the way, ask Boss Cha for help and ask him to send a professional over. Then he can continue to find this reporter and solve the trouble. In this way.

Only by putting everything on the bright side can leaders understand Allen's "good intentions". Wouldn't he get the credit?

"still busy?"

Li Zhi stayed in Wales for a long time this time. Allen was afraid that the outside world would be unsafe, so after Christmas, he did not let her leave in a hurry and stayed with him first.

With Li Zhi here, she dared to come over and persuade Allen to rest early when he was busy.

"Well, it's almost done."

Allen glanced at Li Zhi, picked up the letter and checked it again, then put the letter into an envelope and sealed it with wax.

After handing the letter to Xiao Shitou and asking him to send it away tomorrow, Allen took Li Zhi's hand and asked, "What's wrong? Do you miss me?"

The movements of Allen's hands were not very honest. Li Zhi smiled and slapped his big hand away: "Isn't there a physical examination tomorrow? I'll come here to remind you to go to bed early and get up early."
