When Chu Xiangqian heard this, he understood that it would be easy to persuade Margaret to avoid getting into trouble, but letting her create a positive image of practicing kung fu and fitness could also offset some of the negative effects.
Not only will the royal family thank themselves, but Downing Street and the nobles will also thank themselves.
After thinking about it, Chu Xiangqian really came up with some ideas and said to Norton with a smile, "What Wallace and Charles mentioned last time about the Yau Ma Tei Racecourse, you can help me lower the price with the Secretary for Home Affairs and the Lands Department.
I talked to Margaret and tried to steer her toward something positive. How about it? "
I had talked about this land with Assistant Commissioner of Police Blair and Superintendent Charles before, but what I had to pay for it was the blood of 20 horses.
Now it seems that I have suffered a big loss.
Chu Xiangqian naturally had to find a way to stop his losses.
But if you directly tell Blair, Charles and others that you regret it, you will definitely be a fool.
But if we take the lead in acquiring the land for the weather station, Blair and others will have no reason to seek benefits from them.
Norton nodded without thinking. As long as Margaret gets into less trouble, let alone herself, even her grandfather can get more support from the royal family, nobles and Downing Street.
This is a great thing for the entire Mountbatten family.
"Master, just wait for me. I'll go talk to Mr. Hader right now."
Chu Qianqian looked at Margaret like the stars holding the moon.
To be honest, this woman is not the most beautiful among European and American women, but the bonus of status and temperament can turn a woman with 85 points into 90 points.
And Chu Xiangqian is not stupid. Let alone establish a relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend, at most he can be a close friend.
Anyway, the aristocratic circle is very chaotic to begin with, and even after men and women get married, it is more convenient for each man to have his own thing.
The British couldn't even accept that Margaret was in love with a divorced Air Force combat hero. If they found out that she was in love with an Asian, or even made it public, they would have murderous intentions.
Thinking of this, Chu Xiangqian decided not to join in the fun. He went to the balcony on the second floor with a wine glass in hand and took out a Great Wall cigar from his pocket.
After clicking on it, I looked at Victoria Harbor from the top of the mountain, then swept my eyes towards Central, Wan Chai, Causeway Bay, and finally Kowloon across the harbour.
Compared with the brightly lit scene a few decades later, Hong Kong Island at this time does not look like a big city with flowers.
But it also means plenty of opportunities to make a fortune.
I silently thought to myself that the piece of land next to the Kowloon Weather Station would be my first step towards becoming a big landowner on Hong Kong Island.
When he was thinking that he would become the largest landowner in Hong Kong Island, the chairman of a listed company, the richest man in Hong Kong Island, or even a world-class rich man in the future.
His ears suddenly moved, and he heard the sound of high-heeled footsteps coming from the stairs.
I thought it was some female guest, but I didn't want to get closer and closer. When I looked back, I saw Margaret in a white dress walking over with a smile.
"Not bothering you, right?"
Chu shook his head forward and saw Margaret frowning slightly and complaining, "The banquet here is really boring. People in the banquet hall talk most about business besides business."
After saying that, he looked at the cigar in Chu Xiangqian's hand. Chu Xiangqian immediately understood that this woman was a smoker.
But it’s not good to be in front of the celebrities on Hong Kong Island. Just like at an aristocratic party in London, you can smoke when you want and get drunk if you want, and no one cares.
Even if they see each other, they can quietly find a room and mess around.
Chu Qianqian put the wine glass in his hand on the balcony railing, took out a thin cigar from his pocket and shook it.
Margaret's face lit up and she reached out to take it. Chu took out a lighter and lit it for her.
The relationship between the two seemed to have become much closer all of a sudden.
While chatting, after finishing the wine in the glass, Margaret took the initiative to run and get a bottle of whiskey.
Ten minutes later, probably due to the high alcohol content of the whiskey, Margaret was slightly drunk and began to complain, "You don't know, Chu, I feel like I'm going crazy.
It doesn’t matter if my relationship is controlled by others. Who I make friends with, what parties I attend, and what activities I attend are all restricted.
Even when I wanted to wear Tiffany jewelry, they started interfering.
What can I say, I have to support England's own jewelery companies.
The most devastating thing is that I never like drinking a glass of milk before going to bed, and I hate eating cookies even more.
But my lady-in-waiting, Countess Breen, has always followed the advice of the nutritionist and will watch me drink a glass of milk and eat 3 cookies before going to bed every night. "
Chu Qianqian was stunned and asked subconsciously, "Then isn't she worried about your dental health and weight?"
After hearing this, Margaret became even more resentful, "Ms. Breen has always believed that my weight is optimal at 130 pounds. But with my height..."
Having said this, Margaret hurriedly stopped what she was going to say, and turned her body slightly to the side, leaving only this side of her face for Chu Qianqian.
Chu tilted his mouth forward, knowing what Margaret wanted to say.
Scanning her eyes up and down, she quickly discovered that this woman's arms and waist were plump, and she had a long face. Only her thin cheeks made her more beautiful.
Once the face becomes rounder, the appearance will plummet by one or two levels.
Margaret seemed to notice Chu's forward gaze, frowned slightly and said, "Chu, it is not a gentleman's behavior to look at a lady like this."
Chu shrugged forward, "Sorry, I'm just observing your physical condition and thinking about what boxing techniques and key exercises to teach you tomorrow so that you can become slimmer without losing weight and causing body deformation. "
Margaret didn't have the time to pay attention to Chu's forward gaze, and asked in surprise, "Chu, practicing Kung Fu can really shape your body?"
Chu Xiangqian immediately thought of the many fitness videos he had watched in his previous life.
Not to mention reducing fat on arms and thighs, there are many ways to enlarge buttocks.
He said with confidence, "I am a recognized fighting master. Although you have passed the best training age of 10 years old, it is not difficult to teach you how to get into shape.
The only problem is that whether it’s kung fu or body shaping exercises, it requires a lot of patience and willpower.
Otherwise, if you give up after exercising for a month, your weight will rebound and you will most likely gain weight. "
Margaret hurriedly promised, "Don't worry, Chu, as long as I see the effect within a month, I will definitely stick to it."
After finishing speaking, as if he was worried that Chu Qianqian would not believe it, he continued, "I started to practice horse riding formally when I was 8 years old, and now I insist on it..."
Margaret wanted to say that she had persisted for 18 years, but then she thought about it. If she said that, wouldn't it mean telling Chu Xiangqian that she was already 26 or almost 27 years old?
He quickly changed his words and said, "I have been persisting in equestrian training for more than ten years and have never stopped training. I will definitely be able to persist."
Chu shrugged forward, nodded with a smile, and asked casually, "Since you have been training equestrian for more than ten years.
Have you ever thought about participating in equestrian competitions?
If you win an Olympic medal, I believe more people will like you. "
Margaret shook her head, "I only live for myself, why should I care what others think?"
Chu Xiangqian immediately understood that this woman had developed a strong rebellious mentality because of interference in her first love, and even overt and covert opposition.
After thinking for a while, he said, "If I were you, I would win an equestrian championship first. This is not to show others, but to tell yourself that I am the best."
Besides, you have been training equestrian for more than ten years, and you don’t want all the hard work and sweat you put in to become meaningless, right?
Whether you can win the championship in the obstacle course in equestrian depends largely on a good horse. Maybe we can cooperate. "
As soon as Margaret heard this, she knew that Chu Xiangqian wanted to sell his horse at a higher price.
Margaret didn't care much about this kind of thing. If the horse provided by Chu Xiangqian was indeed faster and stronger, it would be normal for the price to be higher.
And there will be no shortage of buyers.
And Margaret said she wanted to 'be herself', but seeing how concerned she was about her figure, you knew that this woman was just like other women, a show-off person.
If she really didn't have any chance to be exposed, that was what really made her unbearable.
This is like most celebrities, enjoying the high income brought by fame while shouting that they have no freedom.
When they have no flow, they may become anxious and suffer from depression.
"Chu, are you sure you can help me find a horse with excellent explosive power, endurance, flexibility and execution ability?"
Chu Xiangqian nodded confidently. The two maroon and light gold horses given to Norton were the same as the original data of the Yezhao Jade Lion in terms of physical fitness, strength, and agility.
Both have constitution 1.3, strength 1, and agility 1.4.
In this way, after running 1,600 meters on the track, the time was 1 minute and 46 seconds.
If this were replaced by Chitu, whose three-dimensional attributes were all 0.1 higher, his score would definitely be within 1 minute and 40 seconds.
With this result, as long as you train hard and find a good rider, it is not impossible to run 1 minute and 38 seconds, or even 1 minute and 36 seconds.
And in 1 minute and 36 seconds, we can definitely win the championship on Hong Kong Island.
Even when I go to the United States to run the Triple Crown race, when the competition is not so fierce, I still have a chance to win the championship.
In other words, I only need to select a horse from the 3 horses that are refreshed every day in the days to come, with a physique and strength that is at the same level or even 0.1 higher than Chitu's initial attributes.
That is to say, if a horse has a constitution of 1.5 and a strength of 1.2 or above, if Margaret and the horse are trained for a period of time, there is really a high probability that they can win a medal in the obstacle course.
Although Margaret still didn't quite believe in Chu Qianqian, but thinking about the two bloody horses today, she felt that at least he was not the kind of person who had no confidence and made up random things.
"Chu, let's make a deal. As long as you can find a horse whose performance in the obstacle course is better than the thoroughbred horse I am currently training with, I will give you a true national treasure of the Celestial Empire. "
Chu Qianqian was stunned, and then he stretched out his hand without hesitation, "According to the custom of the people of the Celestial Dynasty, high-fives are an oath. Anyone who regrets it will be equivalent to humiliating his surname and family."
Margaret's expression suddenly became serious, she stretched out her hand and joined Chu Qianqian's palm, "In the name of the family and surname."
Chu nodded forward and high-fived Margaret three times with her palms.
Then he continued, "Wait for my good news."
Margaret nodded repeatedly, not realizing that with this relationship, she would have more contact with Chu Xiangqian in the future, which meant that Chu Xiangqian would have more opportunities to take advantage of her.
When the two returned to the banquet hall from the balcony, the eyes of those present could not help but change when they saw Margaret smiling and talking and laughing with Chu Qianqian.
And by now, everyone basically knows that Margaret will hold this party because she just got a 3-year-old purebred Akhal Tekin horse.
Hader, who was being pestered by Norton, saw the situation and the condescension in Chu's eyes when he moved forward, which quickly turned into seriousness.
Hader knew very well that he could not directly move from the position of chief secretary to the position of governor of Hong Kong.
After all, this position has always been nominated by Downing Street and appointed by the King. In other words, the candidate has always been someone from London.
In other words, Hader's position on Hong Kong Island has reached the top. If he wants to be promoted further, he has to be transferred back to London.
But if I go back to London, if the position doesn't meet expectations, I might as well stay here on Hong Kong Island.
On the one hand, the status of the Chief Secretary is high enough, and on the other hand, there are many ways to make money in Hong Kong. The most important thing is that there are many people who send him money.
But if someone helps me, it must be to return to London. Maybe I can sit in the position of a minister in the future, or even get the throne of the head of Downing Street.
"Norton, I heard that you just got two purebred Akhal Tekin horses, right?"
Norton knew what Hader meant as soon as he heard it, and said with a smile, "If you are interested, maybe you can send someone to Central Asia to try your luck. Maybe you can meet a certain rancher who has to sell because of lack of funds. My own Akhal Tekin horse.”
Hader laughed. The so-called sending people to Central Asia was just an excuse to avoid trouble.
"Are you free to come and sit in my office tomorrow?"
After Chu Qianqian followed Margaret down to the second floor, he originally wanted to separate from her to find Norton.
But Margaret put her arm around Chu Qianqian without hesitation. Now Chu Qianqian couldn't leave even if he wanted to.
I even feel a softness from time to time.
He cursed secretly in his mind and adjusted himself after just a few breaths. Then out of the corner of his eye, he saw Blair, a ghost guy, and a ghost guy about 50 years old, looking at him.
Chu Xiangqian immediately recognized the ghost guy as Ge Bai, the boss of the police force.
He whispered to Margaret, "Your Highness, I have two friends here. Do you want to go over and say hello?"
Margaret rolled her eyes at Chu Qianqian, unable to tell that this guy wanted to take advantage of her identity.
But in a party like this, even people you don’t know can come over and say hello as long as they are introduced.
Margaret secretly thought that just like Chu Qianqian and those who recommended him, it would be no problem to meet two of his friends.
And from a heart point of view, Chu Xiangqian's status in her heart at this time was no worse than that of her friends.
Smiling and nodding, Chu Qianqian led him towards Blair and Ge Bai.
