British 1986

Chapter 417 God wants to destroy me.

Monday, July 20, 1992.

The entrance of Hong Kong City Hall.

Interview vans, live broadcast vans and other facilities from various media outlets, as well as special cars for local dignitaries, filled the entire Hong Kong City Hall with water.

In the temporary lounge.

Patten seemed quite calm. The meeting didn't start until 9 o'clock. He arrived early today.

However, Allen never came. He called the private villa of the Governor's Mansion, but no one answered.

Originally, Patten was planning to pick up Allen in person at the Governor's private villa, but...

After going back and forth, the detour was too far, and finally the two parties agreed to meet at the Hong Kong City Hall.

In the half month since Allen came to Xiangjiang, except for his initial appearance at the airport welcome ceremony, he has been keeping a low profile the rest of the time.

There were many wealthy businessmen and dignitaries who also wanted to submit invitations to pay a visit to this great nobleman from the British Empire.

But no matter what, this aristocratic gentleman is too arrogant. Let alone a wealthy businessman or a political figure, it is not easy for even Governor Patten to meet him.

Just make sure no strangers come in!

In this case, many people knew that he was in Xiangjiang, but it was extremely difficult to meet him.

Today, although the news has not been officially announced to the public, according to gossip, most people know that this Excellency will also attend the meeting.

According to Patten's attitude after taking office during this period, the new governor, with his bad temper, showed that he came with bad intentions. It didn't look like anything good was going to happen at today's meeting.

Now, coupled with this big noble from the local area, there are also some well-informed people. After quietly asking around, they know that Earl Allen is here to support the new governor.

Some people have also learned that in Great Britain, nobles are not responsible for killing people!

And this Your Excellency is exactly the type of nobleman who is very brave and has a very bad temper.

When I think of such a person, he actually came to support Patten.

Many people felt that he was indeed a British guy with a really dark heart. He even thought up such dirty tricks. He sent a governor who was not a nobleman so he could do things without responsibility.

They also sent a very brave and bad-tempered nobleman to escort him, so no one could stop them.

The more they understand the situation, the more sad and angry some patriots become.

Patten just wanted to wait for Allen to greet him personally. When the time comes, he will pretend to be powerful. As long as he sits on the conference table, just like when he took office, he will face the audience alone. Hundreds of guests glanced at each other coldly, and the audience immediately fell into silence.

With such momentum, what big thing can't he accomplish?

As long as he successfully takes back all his power, Patten will have a lot to do in the future!

However, it was now eight o'clock, and there was less than an hour before the meeting started, but the Excellency had not arrived yet. Patten was not in a hurry on the surface, but he was already a little anxious in his heart.

"Your Majesty the Governor, there is a gentleman named Stone who wants to see you."

Patten's assistant secretary quietly walked up to him, bent down and whispered in Patten's ear.

"Stone? Stone!"

When Patten heard this name, he suddenly realized, isn't this the name of the housekeeper your Excellency brought this time?

This is

Something happened on the road?

Damn it, did these Xiangjiang people attack this Excellency on the road?

When he thought of this, Patten's heart twitched suddenly and his face turned pale.

Allen can come to Xiangjiang and do whatever he wants here, but he can't get into trouble here!

As long as he breaks the skin here, it will be a responsibility that even Patten cannot bear!

When he thought of this, Patten pressed his knees with his hands and stood up suddenly.

"Where is Mr. Stone? Take him and take me to him! What happened?!"

The assistant secretary looked at Patten in surprise. He had never seen his boss so anxious before.

"Your Majesty the Governor, Mr. Stone is waiting in the lounge on No. 6. I have arranged for him to rest first."

"Let's go! Take me there."

"Your Majesty the Governor, I'm really sorry. My master sent me here to explain it to you."

Xiao Shitou is wearing a standard British suit. He doesn't look like a butler, but he really looks like a boss.

When he saw Patten, his somewhat honest face revealed a trace of unspeakable expression.

"What's wrong with Mr. Allen? Where are they? What happened?"

Patten hurriedly shook hands with Xiao Shitou and asked several questions in a row.

"My master did not have any accidents. Your Excellency, Governor, there is no need to be nervous. This is what happened."

Xiao Shitou told Peng Dingfu about the phone call from the British mainland last night and the fact that Allen was urgently recalled by Boss Cha. After speaking, he lowered his head and said: "My master is anxious to go back to see His Highness. I will make arrangements overnight." On the plane, the owner left early this morning. Before leaving, the owner was still thinking about you. He said that there was a meeting today. It was so unexpected to encounter such a thing. He asked me to stay on purpose and come back as soon as I came back from the airport. Explain to you."

"???"

Patten suddenly stopped panicking.

He stared blankly at the little stone.

After standing still for dozens of seconds, Patten shook violently and left? Just leave like that?

Something came out?

His Highness summoned him overnight?

How could it be such a coincidence?

If you don’t notify us earlier or later, why do you want to notify us now?

What did you do last night?

Patten was filled with grief and anger, and was about to ask questions when suddenly...

He suddenly thought that the other party was a noble, and they were the most polite people. It would be rude to send his men to come to inform him late at night.

But it's fucking rude, but after such a delay and not being informed until now, what should he do?

Who will accompany him to the meeting later? If someone breaks out, who will suppress it?

Who am I, where am I, what should I do?

In an instant, Patten's mind suddenly became confused.

Anyone who has been busy working on this matter and endured it for so many days, and now that the matter is coming to an end, has to face the failure of the plan, everyone's mentality will explode.

Then he thought that Allen had already collected his money. The money was borrowed by him, but it was cash that he needed to pay back in person!

That’s $400 million!

Now, just leave?

Don't complain. As for why Allen left in such a hurry, he could understand it. He didn't blame Allen for cheating him. After all, it was Boss Cha who summoned him, and Allen was Boss Cha's captain of the bodyguard. He No matter where he is, whenever Boss Cha calls him, he has to rush back as soon as possible. This is how the nobles deal with each other.

At this time, government affairs and meetings are secondary.

Until this moment, Patten suddenly felt that God was going to kill me.

He felt like the sky was falling.

Looking at Butler Stone in front of him, Patten felt that the person in front of him was getting smaller and smaller, his figure became more and more distorted, and the sounds around him became more and more psychedelic, as if his ears were filled with water, and he suddenly heard everything. Not here.

"Your Excellency the Governor! Your Excellency the Governor!"

The assistant secretary next to him, who was originally calm, watched Mr. Stone say a few words to the Governor, and then the Governor fell silent. It was nothing at first.

But Patten's legs suddenly weakened and he collapsed to the ground, which frightened the assistant secretary.

There is a meeting coming soon, and the protagonist suddenly collapses. What should we do?

"Someone! Come quickly, call an ambulance!"

The assistant secretary ran two steps quickly and picked up Patten, who had collapsed on the ground, his eyes unfocused, sweating profusely.

The total flight from Xiangjiang to Daying, or to Wales to be exact, takes about 12 hours.

But one amazing thing is that there is a time difference between the two sides.

In other words, Xiangjiang is more than 7 hours faster than Wales.

Allen got on the plane early on the morning of the 2nd. After flying for 12 hours, when he landed at Cardiff International Airport in Wales, the time in Wales had just reached the afternoon of the 2nd.

As soon as he got off the plane, Allen immediately saw Hu Te, who came to pick him up, and Butler Capel, who was standing next to Hu Te and chatting with Hu Te.

"Your Excellency, thank you for your hard work. After His Highness heard about the specific time of your return, he specially sent me to pick you up. He asked me to take you to Highgrove Manor as soon as possible after receiving you."

Capel bowed respectfully to Allen, who had just gotten off the plane, with a very warm smile on his face.

The Allen of today is not the Allen of a few years ago. The Allen of now is the closest minister that Boss Cha will think of immediately when something happens!

He didn't dare to pretend to be cool in front of Allen.

"Master, thank you for your hard work. Welcome home."

After Butler Capel finished speaking, Hu Te followed him in a very polite manner.

"Well, I didn't sleep well on the plane. Come on, I'll rest in the car for a while."

Allen acted very calmly and didn't even ask what happened that made him come back in such a hurry.

Instead, he got in the car and prepared to continue sleeping, as if no matter where he was or what he was doing, as long as His Highness gave him a call, he would come back through fire and water without any complaints.

Butler Capel secretly smacked his lips at this scene.

Who said that Earl Allen was ignorant?

Your Excellency is really able to withstand critical moments. He sat down on a plane for more than ten hours without blinking an eye!

He is indeed a loyal minister of the empire and the last sign of the British aristocracy!

"You're back? Are you tired?"

Boss Cha was waiting for Allen quietly in his study. After Allen was brought in by Butler Capel, he asked with concern.

"You must be tired, Your Highness. But you summoned me. No matter how tired I am, I can't complain!"

Butler Capel wisely exited and closed the door.

Before leaving, these were the last words he heard from Allen. After hearing these words, Butler Capel secretly smacked his tongue again. Only Earl Allen dared to say such a joke to His Highness. I said this before!

"Haha, I was mainly worried, so I asked someone to call you back quickly. Didn't you delay anything over there?"

Boss Cha took the initiative to throw over a box of cigarettes that Allen usually liked to smoke.

After Allen received the cigarette, he lit it up and took a deep breath to relieve his fatigue. Then he sighed and said, "Patten, uh, it's Patten. He seems to have some kind of meeting today." , told me to attend, but if you call me for something, Your Highness, how can I attend the meeting with peace of mind? I asked the butler to arrange a flight overnight and flew back early in the morning. "

"Hahaha."

Listening to Allen's intentional or unintentional performance, Boss Cha smiled even more happily. This proved that Allen regarded him as the most important and put his orders first. Which leader wouldn't like such an obedient and sensible subordinate? ah? !

"I asked you to come back this time. The news published in yesterday's newspaper was done by you, right?"

Boss Cha didn't even tell me which newspaper it was, nor did he take the actual item.

"Yes, Your Highness, after I got the information as soon as possible, I didn't have time to send someone back to report to you, so I arranged for someone to go to the United States to release it first."

"Yeah! Good job!"

Boss Cha knew the reason for this. Allen himself was in Xiangjiang. He arranged for his subordinates to report to him, but they might not be able to meet him because it was hard to explain the reason for the report!

Going to the United States to publish the news instead of publishing it in Britain first. Boss Cha has also thought clearly about the intention behind this.

In short, Boss Cha found that Allen was quite capable and very useful when it came to handling these relatively unsophisticated matters.

As a leader, you should not just look at the shortcomings of your subordinates, but you should be good at discovering the advantages of your subordinates.

Of course, this premise is that the leader likes the subordinate first. If he doesn't like a subordinate horizontally or vertically, then let's not talk about it.

Allen may have shortcomings of one kind or another, but these are all classified by Boss Cha as being too young and inexperienced!

Now that you know his shortcomings, what should you do next?

Just practice more!

Just like now, give him the tasks he is good at and let him do more of them. When he is done, you will not be in a hurry to quarrel with him. Instead, you will ask him about the situation first, and then he will go out to help Allen check for mistakes and fill in the gaps, and teach him by the way. This way, firstly, it can bring the relationship between the two parties closer, and secondly, it can increase his prestige in Allen's heart.

This is Boss Cha's method of controlling his subordinates. Although he has a weird temper, he is still very kind to the people he likes.

Allen told him everything Boss Cha wanted to hear, especially the process of how Chikli sent people, how he took a fishing boat at night, and how he lurked on the rocks in camouflage clothes to secretly take photos. He explained everything clearly, every step and every step. I explained all the details to Boss Cha.

"Yes, the arrangements are very thorough. Have everyone arranged for the filming?"

After listening to Allen's report, Boss Cha thought about it in his mind and found no major problems so far. He then asked about the arrangement of relevant personnel.

These people must be dealt with properly afterwards, otherwise if someone accidentally lets the news slip, they will be in trouble.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I have arranged for them to go on vacation to India."

"India?"

"Yes, have you forgotten? Didn't you ask me to invest there? I sent some people and are now training relevant staff there, so I sent them too, and in a short period of time, they will be there Just do whatever you want there and treat it as a vacation.”

"Well handled well."

Allen lowered his head and glanced at Boss Cha, and suddenly thought of a key figure.

"Your Highness, the letter of recommendation you gave me and the person who helped us provide the itinerary, did you handle it?"

"Haha, I still need you to teach me? I've done it before you come back. Just wait for you to come back and tell me about your problems. You don't have to worry about anything else."

Boss Cha glanced at Allen extremely arrogantly, as if he had the pearls of wisdom in his grasp.
