British 1986
Chapter 400 Pick-up
But no matter how uncomfortable Patten felt, he could only endure it, otherwise what else could he do.
He asked for help, and now that the higher-ups have sent him people, he can't go back on his word, can he?
An aristocratic man who is responsible for giving him a platform, is he, a little port governor, able to be picky?
Just ask him, Earl Allen, whether he can control the situation and give you a platform.
As long as he doesn't go around killing people like a lunatic, his recent performance will be able to be suppressed in Xiangjiang.
After the plane finally flew smoothly, Patten eagerly took several documents and passed through layers of servants before he saw Allen at the end.
Although the two were on the same plane, their seats were not together and they were separated by the servants and bodyguards brought by Allen. Patten had to apply if he wanted to see Allen.
Suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, Patten put a smile on his face and said flatteringly: "Your Excellency, I want to meet you first on the way. I also need to discuss some things with you."
"No, there is no reporting relationship between you and me. You can just take care of your affairs. If you need me to cooperate with you, tell me in advance."
Allen had his legs crossed and was playing a game with the latest handheld console he had snatched from William.
Patten looked at the small game console, and the sound of biu~biu~biu came from it. Allen didn't even raise his head or look at him. His attention seemed to be on his hands. On the game console, after saying this, he took the time to wave his right hand, indicating that he could go by himself, as if he was afraid of disturbing him while playing the game.
Although Allen's image and way of doing things are somewhat different from those in the rumors, in Patten's mind, the image of a top-notch bad guy who doesn't care about business, is greedy for enjoyment, etc. slowly emerges.
With the corners of his mouth twitching, Patten could only gently put the information aside, leaving it for Allen to read when he had time, and bowed again.
"Then I won't disturb you, Your Excellency. If you need anything, just call me."
"Um!"
With the reflection on the game console screen, Allen watched Patten slowly walk away, and then sneered.
It's not appropriate for him to get too close to this guy now. We're all not in the same circle.
From the first time he met him, Allen didn't give him a good look, and his attitude was just so-so, just to deliberately create this sense of alienation.
Now, hey, you can also cleanse yourself while flying.
As for the information he left behind, Allen picked it up and flipped through it casually, only looking at the cover of the document. This old boy was very cunning. The information he brought were all very ordinary and conventional documents. If you really believe this That's a fool.
July 4, 1992, Kai Tak Airport, Hong Kong.
The plane slowly passed through the bloated Kowloon City and landed tremblingly on the runway of Kai Tak Airport.
This is currently the busiest airport in Hong Kong and is known as one of the top ten most dangerous airports in the world. Every time a plane lands, the captain must be very cautious.
This thing is like an airport in a small mountain col. You can't fly straight over from a distance before landing. You have to find your direction and fly in diagonally. The airport is surrounded by residential areas. If you don't pay attention, you will fly over or even run off the runway. The difficulty of landing can be imagined.
The residents living nearby still have to endure the impact of hundreds of planes flying over the roofs of buildings every day.
In the airport, half of the red carpet has been laid out in a separate area. After the special plane lands, the last section of the red carpet from the boarding stairs to the reception area will be laid out.
Wei Dewei, the current governor of Hong Kong, is wearing a traditional colonial official uniform. He is a little old man with a small beer belly. He wears stockings on his legs, which makes his calves appear slimmer. There is a light-colored ribbon on his belly, and he looks with bright eyes. Looking at the slowly slowing plane in the distance.
Several official media have gathered around, and there are some media in the distance that cannot be approached without permission.
The flashing lights didn't stop after landing from the plane.
In front of the small guard of honor not far from Wei Dewei, the commander took a deep breath, adjusted the brim of his hat, and straightened his stomach.
When the plane finally came to a stop, the staff next to it hurried up to lay out the red carpet, and the military band also played the prelude to the national anthem "God Save the Queen" to start the show. As soon as the cabin door opened, the theme could be entered at any time.
"Your Excellency." Patten squeezed to the cabin door in embarrassment. He did not change into the traditional colonial official uniform because
The boss wouldn't let him wear it because they thought he was embarrassed.
Therefore, this guy can only wear a suit, but Allen next to him is different now.
Although the outside temperature is already very hot in July.
But for the sake of image, I still have to wear long-sleeved military uniforms.
The red cavalry jacket and the rank badge on the shoulder have obvious golden patterns that represent the royal symbol.
This is his mark as a royal bodyguard, and because he is Boss Cha's bodyguard, Allen's mark is larger and more obvious than that of ordinary royal bodyguards.
A golden braid stretches from the epaulette on the right shoulder to the chest and then to the collar.
This is a decorative pendant exclusive to the captain of the guard.
The medals he had won before were still hung on his chest.
With this thing, he still has some military power in emergencies, especially in colonies with garrison, he can mobilize a small number of soldiers to command.
There was nothing much to say about the navy blue trousers on his lower body. Allen put on a dark military hat to tidy up his appearance and signaled that Patten could go down first.
He is the governor, so of course he has to go out first. Whoever has a lower status will go out first.
"."
As the crew opened the cabin door, sunlight shone into the cabin. Patten frowned slightly due to the sunlight. He looked outside the cabin. He didn't know if it was the sun or the flash, but it was so bright that he could hardly open his eyes.
Patten took a deep breath, put on a false smile on his face, and then walked out of the cabin.
"Why is he a fat guy?"
"Is this what the new governor looks like?"
"Still quite handsome."
"It is said that the Mandarin name is Patten."
As the new Governor walked down the boarding stairs, the conductor's movements changed, and a great British song with a Scottish tune, but the lyrics were all about Scotland, slowly played.
Wei Dewei just watched Patten waving hello as he got off the plane. He did not move his feet, as if he was not ready to greet Patten. It was not until Patten's footsteps landed that a heavyweight came out of the cabin again, Wei Dewei. Wei moved quickly with a smile on his face this time and walked across the red carpet towards the boarding stairs.
"Your Excellency, long time no see, you are still as charming as ever."
Wei Dewei shook hands with Patten perfunctorily, and then looked expectantly at Allen walking down the boarding stairs. Then, he held Allen's extended hand with both hands and opened his mouth to praise him for this kind of treatment. The two completely different attitudes made Patten curl his lips as if he had eaten shit.
"Haha, Wei Dewei, you..."
Allen glanced at Wei Dewei's beer belly. After not seeing him for a while, the old guy had gained weight again. He had nothing to do here all day long and couldn't get out. He couldn't do anything he wanted to do. Allen even heard that Wei Dewei seemed to be ill some time ago, I don't know if he was suppressing it.
Wei Dewei's face suddenly turned red, and he sucked in his stomach slightly. Then he helped Allen turn around and accepted the media's photo.
Today is not only the day when the new governor of Hong Kong arrives in Hong Kong, but also the day when the British nobles arrive in Hong Kong. This time Allen is not traveling in a low-key manner. Wei Dewei has given enough face and brought out all the pomp and pomp that can be given.
The band was playing music and a small guard of honor was waiting for review. Wei Dewei was walking at the front, introducing Allen as he walked. Newport Governor Patten, who was following them in a suit, looked like a servant, and a fat man. The scene of the big-headed servant was recorded by countless flashlights.
Following Wei Dewei to pick up the plane, there were also some well-known wealthy businessmen and dignitaries in Xiangjiang. These people watched the confrontation between the old governor and the new governor from a distance, and they all felt that something was wrong.
This does not mean that the old governor must be enthusiastic when welcoming the new governor, and they must talk and laugh happily as soon as they meet, but after the minimum etiquette is completed, it is inevitable to walk and chat along the way.
But now, the old governor seemed to have some conflicts with the new governor. When the two met, they simply shook hands and then
Then he spoke with the noble man who was somewhat famous in Xiangjiang a few years ago. As for the new governor, the two of them had no communication during the rest of the process.
This is very wrong!
Among the welcoming crowd, Mr. Li, who was wearing glasses, looked at each other and an old man next to him. The two raised their eyebrows at the same time and made eye contact, all without saying a word.
"Your Excellency, are you coming this time?"
On the way to the Governor's Mansion, Wei Dewei pulled Allen into the same car. In the car, he couldn't wait to ask his doubts.
The people in China didn't say much to him and just asked him to properly hand over the work at hand.
This made Wei Dewei feel a little pained. When he thought that when he took office, he didn't even have anyone to hand over the work, but the Excellency in front of him traveled in a low-key manner, accompanied him, and stood up for himself by the way. Thinking of this, Wei Dewei couldn't help but look at Allen again. This man had already accompanied two Hong Kong governors to take office. He was indeed a veteran nobleman who was professionally responsible for supporting and platforming.
As for why no one handed over work to Wei Dewei in the first place.
Because the previous governor died of illness while in office. When Wei Dewei came, the old guy was already dead. How could a dead person communicate with him? This is why Wei Dewei took the initiative to visit Allen. He At that time, someone also needed to give him a platform, and in Wei Dewei's view, when he took office, the situation was much more serious than it is now.
"Well, don't you take office on the 9th and announce the appointment on the 8th? I'm tired. Let's rest first."
Allen glanced around without leaving a trace. He was not used to talking about things in the car, especially because he was afraid that Wei Dewei would not be able to protect him, someone would do something in his car, paparazzi here in Xiangjiang, what? Don’t you dare to do something?
What would it be like if someone said something that couldn't be said openly and was recorded or something?
"?"
Wei Dewei looked at the boss and his eyes suddenly froze. After he came to his senses, he quickly nodded and said: "Sorry, sorry. Then you will go back to rest today. I will postpone the welcome banquet. Tomorrow? I will make an appointment tomorrow." We're just betting on horse racing, let's watch the game together and talk about it then?"
"Um"
The flight trip of more than ten hours was still very tiring, plus there was jet lag. As soon as he arrived in Xiangjiang, Allen didn't want to do anything but rest first.
Returning to No. 79, Deep Water Bay after more than a year's absence.
This is the villa given to him by Boss Li. Li Zhi has always lived here, and Allen can't come here even once a year.
In the past, Li Zhi would go to Wales to visit him, but later she was also busy with work at hand, and the two of them had fewer opportunities to get together.
Now, as the motorcade returned to the villa along the winding mountain road, Allen got out of the car and looked at the surrounding scenery, feeling quite a bit different.
This is him.
The third time I came here, the time span spanned several years, but the surrounding scenery basically remained unchanged.
It's almost the same as Wales, everything remains unchanged. In the distance, you can see another tall building rising, but the others are gone.
"Master, are you back? What are you looking at? You don't recognize your home anymore?"
Li Zhi reached out to help Allen take off his coat and looked at Allen with a smile.
"Haha." Among the people around him, in terms of titles, only Li Zhi would call him master. At other times, whether at home or elsewhere, people like Hu Te and Xiao Shitou would call him "Master". For the young master.
Calls like "Master" always sound corrupt when you hear them too often.
"How long will you stay back this time?"
After handing Allen's clothes to the servant, Li Zhi followed Allen and asked as he walked.
"The shortest term is about a week. If something unexpected happens and delays it, it could be half a month."
Looking at the furnishings at home, they were basically the same as when he left last time. Allen estimated that Li Zhi had people do it specially to prevent him from getting used to this "home" if he suddenly came over.
Listening to the time Allen mentioned, Li Zhi was a little silent.
"What's wrong? I've been here for a short time, so you're not happy?"
Seeing that Li Zhi was a little depressed, Allen put his arm around her waist and asked.
"No."
"Hahaha, let's go and take a bath with the master!"
Wearing this dress, it was hot and muggy along the way, so Allen hugged Li Zhi and went upstairs.
From the bedroom bathroom upstairs in the villa, you can directly enjoy the sea view in the distance from the floor-to-ceiling windows. In front of the villa is a large forest. In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can play and watch the scenery. The small sea breeze coming in brings a sultry atmosphere. But the water droplets on the body were mixed with sweat or water, and it was hard to tell whether it was sweat or water. When the wind blew it, it made my heart feel cold.
The bath lasted for more than 40 minutes. Although Allen was a little breathless, he felt instantly rejuvenated. The two of them stayed in the bathtub for a while and then asked the servant to deliver the meal to the bedroom.
Looking at the soup in front of me, it was said that Li Zhi made it himself.
Allen raised his eyebrows at the raw materials and objects in the soup that could be clearly seen at a glance. Could this be the legendary "Ten Whip Soup"?
