British 1986
Chapter 412 Telling Cathy a Story
Putting down the information, Allen smacked his lips with regret. Chikley left early in the morning, otherwise...
He could also give Old Carl a message by the way, asking him to find the founder named Lin and poach him back.
Don’t think you can hide by running to the United States.
He ran to San Francisco, but people here in Xiangjiang couldn't find him. Isn't it simple for Allen to find him?
Patten officially took office on the ninth day.
Inside the Governor's Office.
He put down his pen and approved another document. He was about to take a sip of water from the teacup next to him, but when he looked up, he saw Sir Hodder looking at him with a smile.
"Oh? I almost forgot."
Patten was in a daze for a moment, and then he remembered that someone had just come in while he was at work. He was busy looking at something at the time, so he asked the person to wait for a while, and when he got busy, he forgot about it.
Now that I have finished my work, I only thought about this when I raised my head.
"How much money was borrowed?"
Although Hodder seemed very happy, Patten was not happy at all. He had just taken over the job and had to make a lot of changes in personnel positions. Many places required him to understand little by little, and there were so many things.
Only then did I get out of the pile of documents and have to worry about funds again.
"We have raised US$400 million. Do you think that's enough?"
There are many rich people in Xiangjiang, but it is not easy to borrow and raise a large amount of cash in a short period of time. Huo De also promised enough benefits and finally borrowed so much money.
Even if he was looking for someone to borrow funds, he would not dare to make too much noise, otherwise, with the minds of those old foxes, the governor here would look for someone to raise money as soon as he took office, which would make them think too much.
"That's enough!"
Patten nodded. This amount of funds was not even half of the benefits promised to Allen, but
Now that Hodder has come to talk to him about this, it proves that he has tried his best. No matter how much money he wants, he probably won't be able to get it in a short time.
But with this funding, Patten has a certain confidence.
For large transactions, it is also important to pay a deposit first and pay the balance after receiving the goods.
Now that he is dealing with such a special matter, Patten is going to go to Allen to discuss it. On the one hand, he will stabilize him and give him the 400 million US dollars as a deposit. He will coax him to work first. As soon as the plan starts , it’s easy to talk about the money in the future!
"By the way. Where is your Excellency now? Send him a letter of visit for me. I want to talk to him about this matter."
"this."
Hodder thought for a moment, then frowned and raised his wrist to look at the time. It was now three-thirty in the afternoon. According to the report of his subordinates, the Excellency seemed to have gone out for fun at this time.
"He just arrived at Xiangjiang University an hour ago, but he doesn't know now."
"Xiangjiang University? What is he doing there?"
Patten had a question mark on his forehead, a little curious about Allen's itinerary.
But it was not surprising to him that Hodder was not sure about Allen's specific whereabouts.
The main reason for sending people to follow Allen was to worry about his safety. If someone of his status had any problems in Xiangjiang, it would be a big deal. Although the security here was okay, Patten didn't want to cause trouble for himself.
but
The people they sent to follow him only dared to follow him from a distance, not even remotely close.
The media in Hong Kong is so developed, and the professional quality of the paparazzi is still very strong. However, they used to target some wealthy businessmen, celebrities, etc. The paparazzi dared to get close and take secret photos. But if they meet a nobleman like Allen, this method will fail. .
His bodyguards are not ordinary commercial bodyguards, but retainers directly recruited from veterans who have retired from the navy. They have also been trained by veterans at home, and their professional skills are still very good.
In particular, their tempers are very similar to Allen's, they are both irritable.
After staying in Wales for a long time, he looked arrogant.
Take the villa where Allen lives as an example. Let alone getting close to take photos, any stranger who dares to appear within a hundred meters of the villa, no matter who you are or what you do, will be held down. ask clearly.
Even if you are passing by, you have to stop and ask.
Dare you not say it?
They carry guns, and they really dare to shoot.
This kind of bodyguard standard might not be seen as inappropriate in Wales, but in Xiangjiang, it is definitely beyond the standard.
Faced with their large warning distance, even the people sent by Hodder to follow Allen only dared to hang around them from a distance. They knew where Allen had probably gone, or where he had gone out, but other details were unclear. .
"I don't know. Oh, by the way, he seems to be bringing Casey with him."
Sir Hodder glanced at Patten with a strange smile.
"."
Patten's face twitched. He was slightly resistant to the idea of Kathy and Allen being together. This was the instinct of an old father. Any old father, as long as he is his biological daughter, would encounter such a situation. The men around her will instinctively resist.
But apart from the resistance, Patten still felt a little happy in his heart, although not much.
Based on what he is doing now, after he leaves office, just as his wife thought, sooner or later he will have the title of lifelong nobleman. If. If Allen can take a liking to his daughter, the two families can truly get married. This will It will definitely be the biggest help to Patten's future career.
Based on Allen's status, although he cannot return to Congress, he can go to other places to serve. As long as he is labeled as a royal family, the place he can go to in the future will definitely be much better than now.
It's just that he's afraid that Allen is not sincere to his daughter, but it hasn't happened yet, so he can't say much, just a little bit sad.
Someone takes his daughter on a date. As an old father, he has to find ways to get money for the man who hooked up with his daughter, and he has to be careful to ask him to do things.
Whoever experiences this taste knows it.
Hong Kong University.
It has a long history and is considered one of the best universities in Hong Kong. It is even famous throughout Asia.
However, the area of Xiangjiang University is not large. It is similar to Cardiff University and is a compact university.
Allen has never been here before. He came today mainly because he wanted to have something a little exciting, but not too exciting.
She had only known Cathy for a short time, but Allen had been on the phone with her a lot in the past few days, and he was teasing her intentionally or unintentionally. The eighteen-year-old girl was innocent and rebellious, and she couldn't stand it at all. With such an offensive attack from a veteran like Allen, he didn't even say anything about eachother, but just made a few small agreements, and this little girl was already excited.
When the two of them first met, they started chatting about music. Kathy knew how to play the piano. In order to maintain his personality, Allen invited her to come to the music department of the Faculty of Arts of Xiangjiang University today.
There is a very famous piano room here
Zhuang Yueming Building is a building donated to Xiangjiang University by a wealthy businessman named Li in the 1990s. It is said that it is in memory of his deceased wife.
He actually spent money to build a building in memory of his deceased wife, not like some people who shout slogans in memory of his deceased wife.
Zhuang Yueming is the former wife of the wealthy businessman named Li. What is this lady most famous for?
Vanves!
As for how to become prosperous, just look at the achievements of the current wealthy businessman named Li.
Allen has been very curious about this aspect of things since he heard the mysterious things Wei Dewei said a few days ago. Today he is here to pick up girls, and secondly to experience things.
What do you think of this Mingyue Building?
When he first arrived here, Allen stared at the architectural appearance of this building, looking left and right, feeling very strange.
Casey didn't feel anything at all. Instead, he found the gray building in front of him very interesting.
Rectangular, or half dome.
This kind of building form is rare in European schools. It is a bit like a large long warehouse.
The more Allen looked at it, the more he felt that this thing looked like a coffin lying flat there.
The decoration at the door resembles the shape of ancient Chinese window grilles.
According to the explanation from the information I saw, the architectural design of this thing is to attract wealth.
The decoration of the door is the square hole pattern in copper coins, which is the word "宝" in Tongbao.
As for this wealth.
Most Chinese people know what wealth refers to just by thinking about it, right?
Isn’t this just a fucking coffin?
Allen doesn't have any taboos about this thing. Since he dares to build it, Allen dares to enter. Especially a place with such a weird atmosphere is more in line with his expectations. With a little girl, how can it have such an atmosphere? Isn't it better?
In the past, Gou Mei would rush to take her little sister to watch ghost movies. Now there are more exciting things than ghost movies, so why not come?
Mingyue Building is considered an art center, with a large music room on the first floor.
But here in Xiangjiang, their large music room means that more than thirty people can sit at the same time. It is considered a large music room, and students from the music department can take classes here.
Next to the music room, there is a small piano room, which is the purpose of Allen's visit today.
It is next to the classroom. The current facilities in this building can only be said to be usable. The sound insulation is not particularly good. There is only a wall between the piano room and the music classroom next to it. In the piano room, you can still faintly hear the music room next to it. The singing came from inside.
Allen asked Casey to sit directly on his lap.
Touching the unfamiliar keys, I felt a little emotional.
I had been tormented by this thing for a long time before. As a child of a nobleman, you may not be good at learning, but other things, such as equestrianism, swordsmanship, etiquette, and art, even if you are a gangster, you must learn it!
When he first came here, as an "autistic" boy who couldn't even speak English, he gritted his teeth and persisted in learning these messy things, and finally got in.
According to the standards of the Royal Academy of Music, Allen's piano level is only Level 3.
But in Allen's view, he only failed to meet the standard in theoretical knowledge when taking the Level 4 piano exam. He prefers to call his technical level Level 3 Dzogchen, Half-Step Level 4.
As for piano, levels 1-3 are all beginner levels, and level 4 is considered intermediate. However, his level was barely up to the average level of his family at the time. Since he failed the exam, his family has not forced him to practice this kind of piano anymore. I didn’t expect that there would be a day when I could use what I had learned before.
"Come, let me play you a mysterious song from the East."
"Wow"
Although Casey was a little shy, when he heard that Allen was about to show him a hand, he still blinked and looked at Allen with admiration.
Allen couldn't stand the look in his eyes. After being looked at by her like this for a long time, he felt a little impulsive inexplicably and felt that he was good again.
With his right hand around Casey, who was sitting on his lap, Allen's playing was slightly affected.
But it's not a big problem
He always liked to use this trick to fool the old count. He would play some music that they had never heard before. They didn't know whether it was good or bad.
Now this trick has been used again by Allen to fool Casey.
A song "Dang" that was still above the standard slowly flowed out from Allen's fingers. Casey closed his eyes and listened quietly, trying not to move as much as possible so as not to disturb Allen.
This song is the theme song of My Fair Princess, the one: Let us be companions in the world of mortals and live a life of ease and ease.
On today's occasion, it is quite appropriate.
After the song ended, Allen raised his chin, looked at Casey and asked, "How was it?"
There was an unstoppable smile on Kathy's face. Judging from her level, many parts of Alan were very unfamiliar, but he played completely, which in Kathy's opinion was already very rare. .
"Not bad. Is there any background story behind this song?"
The music sounds a little sad, whether it's Eastern or Western, the artistic conception doesn't distinguish between languages.
"I'll tell you. This is a story about love."
After Allen's hand finished playing the piano, he felt a little dishonest. He wanted to touch the door and touch some seafood or something.
But he didn't touch it directly. Instead, he wandered around the door while talking.
Cathy's face was getting redder and redder. Although she was a good girl, she knew some things that she should know, but she had never practiced them because of her strict tutoring.
Now that Allen's hands were so bold, she almost couldn't bear to listen, until...
Allen's hand finally touched the door. Kathy bit her lip and leaned her head on Allen's shoulder. She didn't hide, she just leaned against Allen obediently.
"!"
Allen felt that the atmosphere was still a little bad, so he leaned into Kathy's ear and told her the story of this building.
According to the wealthy businessman, it was to commemorate his deceased wife.
But according to the information collected by Allen, the above statement means that this place is a bit like a soul locking bureau.
"What is the Soul Locking Bureau?"
On Kathy's red face, her eyes looked a little blurry, and her breathing was a little cramped, but what Allen was talking about was so curious that even though something was wrong with her current state, she couldn't help but ask.
"that is."
Allen thought for a while and reluctantly translated for her: "You can understand that there is a ghost trapped here."
"ah!"
Hearing the ghost, Casey was obviously nervous and trembling with fear.
Allen's hand was stuck when she shook it like this
"Just think about the two of us here, and I just played a piano song about love. Will the ghost come over?"
Alan's voice was low and he lay next to Kathy's ear to scare her further.
"Stop talking, I'm scared."
PS:
I know that Mingyue Tower was only built in 1994. There is no need to take it seriously. It is a different world. What if I use it? !
