When Du Yongxiao went upstairs, he happened to see the old housekeeper Witt coming down from the stairs.
"Hello, Mr. Du, the place here is too big, Howard asked me to come and pick you up!"
The large size of the castle was one of the reasons, and there was another reason that Witt did not say directly.
Witte abided by the housekeeper's rules in front, and was only half a step ahead of Du Yongxiao, leading him towards the second floor of the castle.
"Miss Michelle is a beautiful and kind girl. Mr. Howard has always regarded her as a treasure." Witt said euphemistically, "So you saved her this time. Our master is very happy and very grateful to you. Michelle Miss Er is the future heir to the Howard family. Not only will she inherit all the wealth here, but she will also inherit Pandora Company. When the time comes, she will need someone who can help her manage the family business!"
After Witt finished speaking, he looked back at Du Yongxiao. On the surface, he was waiting for Du Yongxiao to follow, but in fact, it meant something profound.
"This person must have extraordinary wisdom, profound knowledge, and superb insight. Of course, he must also have a background worthy of our lady."
"Mr. Du, you danced well, and you also drank champagne with our lady. Our master will give you an unexpected reward later. I hope you can cherish it!"
The implication is to remind Du Yongxiao to accept it when it's good and don't have any whims. In terms of status, you are not worthy of Miss Michelle.
Du Yongxiao knew all this well and knew that these big Western families were very particular about blood and family. Sometimes what you did, the rewards they could give you were beyond imagination. As for you, you should know how much you weigh and don't daydream. .
"Thank you, Mr. Witt! Thank you for your reminder and advice!" Du Yongxiao said, "Of course, I also want to thank Mr. Howard for the reward for me."
Witt smiled, "You are indeed a smart man!"
…
Second floor, lobby.
Du Yongxiao was surprised to find that in addition to Matt Howard, there were eight guests in the entire hall. They were all dressed in expensive clothes. Two of them Du Yongxiao knew, they were the police commissioner who had just appeared on TV, and the senior superintendent.
Seeing his superiors, Du Yongxiao nodded politely to them. The two superiors, who had always been arrogant, actually nodded to him in return, looking very reserved.
In fact, when Witte came in with Du Yongxiao, he attracted everyone's attention. While Du Yongxiao was sizing them up, everyone was also sizing up Du Yongxiao.
"Mr. Du, let me introduce to you. You must already know those two people, the Commissioner of Police in London and the Senior Superintendent of the Police Department. The other host is the Mayor of London and the leader of the Conservative Party Edward West. Si, and that woman is also amazing. She used to be the spokesperson of the Conservative Party, and she is likely to be a cabinet minister in the future——"
When Du Yongxiao heard this, he couldn't help but take another look at the woman. She looked familiar no matter how he looked at her, and finally recognized: "Thatcher?"
"Uh, do you know each other?" Old Butler Witte said in surprise. Before he introduced him in detail, Du Yongxiao actually called him by his name.
Du Yongxiao covered up: "You said she was the spokesperson of the Conservative Party and you saw her on TV."
"Really? You Hong Kong people are also so concerned about our situation in England?" Witte shook his head, incredulous.
At this moment, Du Yongxiao understood that these people in front of him were all British bosses, and that Edwards and Thatcher were the future British Prime Ministers. And Matt Howard was able to invite these people to the castle, which showed how powerful he was.
Then Du Yongxiao remembered that he was invited by Howard to meet with these big guys. One can imagine how big the reward he gave was.
Not to mention anything else, just being able to stand here is enough for many people to brag for a lifetime.
The reason why Witt introduced these big guys to Du Yongxiao was to make Du Yongxiao be cautious in his words and deeds, but he was also afraid that he would get excited, behave inappropriately, and make people laugh.
At this moment, when I saw Du Yongxiao looking at the big guys, not only did he not show much surprise, but he was calm and relaxed. Not only was he surprised that Du Yongxiao's concentration was unfathomable.
Matt Howard was chewing a cigar, holding a bottle of red wine, and was sitting in the host's seat watching Du Yongxiao's every move.
To be honest, if Du Yongxiao hadn't saved the life of his beloved daughter Michelle, he wouldn't even be qualified to stand here.
The breath of any one person here can cause a storm in London. Du Yongxiao is just a small policeman from Hong Kong, how can he be in their eyes?
Howard promoted Du Yongxiao purely to repay his kindness.
But Du Yongxiao's performance at this moment made Howard couldn't help but nod. He was still calm and composed in the face of so many people, without panic at all, not bad!
How did he know that in Du Yongxiao's eyes, these people were all "historical figures". Their previous lives had long since turned into dust, so how could they be respected?
Du Yongxiao just glanced at the crowd, then looked away, which seemed very polite, and then walked towards Howard under the guidance of Witte.
Howard put down his wine glass and stood up with a cigar between his hands: "Come here, prepare a chair for Mr. Du and let's drink together!"
When everyone present heard this, they looked at Du Yongxiao with different eyes. I don’t know why this young Chinese man was treated so politely by Mr. Howard.
Howard took in everyone's expressions, smiled slightly, stepped forward and pressed Du Yongxiao's shoulder with his right hand holding a cigar: "My daughter Michelle was saved by this young man!"
"I see!"
"It turned out to be Miss Michelle's savior!"
Everyone nodded.
Only the Commissioner of Police and the Senior Superintendent looked embarrassed.
Howard was unwilling to let them go and asked the senior superintendent: "I said this young man saved my daughter, right?"
The senior superintendent nodded quickly: "Yes, yes!"
Howard added: "I don't care what the police do! I don't have any objection to whoever you praise as a hero! But -"
Howard pointed at Du Yongxiao: "I must give this young man some reward!"
"Uh, this--" The senior superintendent looked quickly at the police commissioner who was several levels above him.
The Police Commissioner was sweating profusely. He took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his cheeks and said: "We have considered this issue, but this Mr. Du is from Hong Kong. In terms of rewards-"
"You don't need to embarrass yourself!" Howard waved his hand, "I have already decided on his reward for him! Since he saved my daughter this time and killed four gangsters by himself, his spirit is commendable. He should be awarded the most brave man in the British Empire. Knighthood!"
boom!
Explosion on site!
"What?"
Everyone was stunned.
The Police Commissioner and Senior Superintendent looked even more incredulous.
The Knight Medal is not something ordinary people can award, not to mention that the other party is Chinese?
Seeing such a big reaction from everyone——
Howard's eyes were contemptuous and his tone was disdainful: "Why, can't it be done?"
Without waiting for an answer——
Then he said: "Is my daughter's life worse than a medal?"
