At the beginning of March, the weather in London warms up, and it is enough to wear only a light jacket when going out during the day.

The body armor that Hall had been wearing all day during this time was gradually difficult to hide, so he tried to narrow down his range of activities, going back and forth between the apartment and the AEC company at 2 o'clock every day.

It was mixed with trips to the recording studio and the police station.

"The CEO's Song" had been mastered a few days ago, but with Alcott confessing to the crime without a struggle, his story with the little boy quickly reached the peak of public opinion.

While shouting that he had no intention of occupying public resources, Hall regarded himself as a victim, and spoke loudly in front of the media with high frequency, hyping up the matter to a very high level, which is comparable to the [Simpson's Eucalyptus] that will happen in the United States in England in a few years.

The cufflinks he wore in the camera when he shook hands with reporters in an interview can be specially dug up and reported by lace tabloids, and the price is equivalent to three weeks' weekly salary of ordinary people, and he said that he is not a capitalist? !

The Sun, the most influential gossip leader, took the opportunity to launch an anonymous survey that said that 17 per cent of 20,000 English men liked the same sex and 14 per cent would not mind trying to date a boyfriend......

For a time, the turmoil that spread around this matter overshadowed the two major national events of the "Education Act in England" and the "merger of the two parties of freedom and democracy", and the British steel company, which had been in a uproar before, was completely forgotten.

The British steel hearings will end this month, and the matter will be over when the political game over there is decided.

In other words, if nothing else, the line of public opinion would be good if it remained as it was.

Alcott expects the heat to cool down after the court session next week, so Hall is not in a hurry to release the song for the time being, he wants to see if the opponent has any hole cards to play.

Thinking of this, he retracted his thoughts and looked at the tired old man in front of him with a resentful face, "To be honest, I didn't expect to meet you in the police office."

"Oh, in a few days, I may have to ask you to meet in prison." Alcott sat on the couch with his hands on his knees.

Hall smiled, "Actually, I wanted to see you before, but you are hiding in the villa on Downing Street, and no one can let you out except the police."

"Bastard, when did you set your sights on me?" Alcott scurried to his feet, "You kidnapper, let my son go, or I'll kill you!"

Hall looked at Luka, and after making sure that the superintendent's office was okay, he said lightly, "Your son, oh, Hunter, his name is Hunter, right? What's wrong with him, I heard from the media that he traveled abroad?"

「…… Let Hunter go, this has nothing to do with him. The problems between us, we solve them alone, there are no rules of the game in England for political pursuit, you can't break traditions." Alcott's expression was tense and his tone was serious.

Hall shrugged, "I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're saying. I thought you had something to talk about when you asked me to meet today, but if not, then I'll take my leave."

"There's no need to make a show, this police station is your territory. Let's get straight to the point, let's make a deal. First, let my son go, and stop taking revenge on my family. Second, let the prosecution stop delaying the start of the trial."

Alcott sat back down on the couch: "I'll give you a copy of their deal, about the Leeds United takeover. The bigwigs ordered the Football Club to forcibly approve the trade application, and then planted the blame on the Hale family. Let the media say that you colluded with the FA to forcibly buy Leeds United."

"The news you received here may be a bit delayed, but the official investigation into the acquisition of LAP and Leeds United is that all procedures are in compliance with the law." Hall was unmoved, and replied in a playful tone.

The opponent's operation at Leeds United, due to the haste of time, left a lot of horses, he found out earlier. It's just that this matter is a bit chicken, not only does it not affect the overall situation, but his hands and feet are not clean, so he ignores it.

At this time, the scandal of the acquisition approval process broke out, no matter who the scandal was, the Hall family belonged to themselves and slapped themselves in the face.

Alcott was silent for a moment, his lips squirming: "...... I was abandoned, the big guys wanted my affair to end immediately, the prosecution continued to delay the trial, and I would die in prison. I have nothing to say about this, everyone has to do their own thing

Pay for your own failures.

"But Hunter is my best child, and he deserves to inherit the title...... Well, I don't have a knighthood anymore, it's time for him to inherit the Alcott family and continue the family...... This is the root of the traditional aristocracy, Hall, Hall, and we are on the same page in this regard, right?"

Hall chuckled, "It seems that your sources are quite well-informed, and you all know the exclusive nickname given to me by the media, and I like it when people call me that."

He didn't plan to engage in a political hunt, Alcott's son just made sure that the current situation was not out of control, and as for delaying the trial through the prosecution, it was to prolong the heat to attract public opinion.

If Alcott himself died because of this, he would be sorry and would go back to the tombstone to lay a bouquet of flowers.

"May God bless your son to continue the family, goodbye."

Determining that Alcott had no hole cards to play, Hall prayed for him sincerely before turning away.

"Hall, he's Hugo Hall, he's going to spend 100 million to bring in stars for Leeds United."

"This boy is really big enough to show off his pomp, every time he comes to our police station, he brings a large group of bodyguards, does he question our ability?"

"Don't talk nonsense, afternoon tea at Fortham Dessert Can't Stop Your Mouth......

Hall walked down the hallway of the police station's office, listening to the police whispering, nodding around with a polite smile on his face as a greeting. During this time, he was used to showing his head, and he naturally had the consciousness of being a celebrity.

A middle-aged police superintendent escorted him to the door and said with a strange expression, "Uh...... Mr. Hall, my daughter admires you for taking the risk of being shot and exposing the actions of the criminals...... Can I take the liberty of asking you to sign her?"

As a police superintendent, he is slightly qualified to know a little bit about politics, and hopes that his daughter will never know what is behind the so-called justice she admires.

"Absolutely." Hall was inexplicably a little dark, and seriously showed off his artistic font.

…………

Walking out of the police station, many reporters held microphones to meet them, more than a dozen bodyguards lined up into a wall to break out, and a female reporter was accidentally squeezed to the ground in the chaos.

Seeing this, Hall immediately stopped, put aside the bodyguard to help her up and said sorry, and then waved to the reporters: "Please keep order, everyone knows, I don't want to occupy public resources. So it's the same as before, I'll just answer three questions."

"Mr. Hall, are you here to provide new evidence today?"

"Sort of, I'll cooperate with the police to collect evidence, and I will participate in the trial as a witness next week."

"Mr. Hall, we all know that you are a righteous person, what do you think of the war between the two Yin that is about to come to the negotiating table?"

"The name of my company represents my philosophy, love and peace, and I hope to use sports to infect people and change the world......

"So, Mr. Hall, what do you think of yourself being called a shameless capitalist while practicing justice?"

"I'm sad." Hall smiled wryly and stopped, silently reciting the four-word mantra of "hunger marketing" in his heart, and quickly got into the car and ran away.

His current popularity and popularity are comparable to those of popular first-line stars, and there may be more than that. After all, most celebrities are on the entertainment page, but he is on the social page!

And public opinion has gradually reversed, maybe after the dust settles on Alcott, the release of the "CEO Song" will not only not be shot, but also win a wave of sympathy and whitewashing.

But this process is really a bit difficult to overcome, every day is full of love and peace, justice triumphs over evil, and all I think about in my heart is insidious and bad water, like playing performance art.

If this continues, he is not far from schizophrenia......

Hall sighed melancholy, "Any new itinerary?"

"The BBC invited you to a talk show to discuss the upcoming education reform law, and they said that you are very typical." Brandon sat in the passenger seat and twisted his body to report.

Hall raised his eyebrows: "The students of Yindun Public School, show up to explain the national *** materials, unified exams? It's up to them to figure it out

Come. Push it off, this kind of sensitive topic is not suitable for wild words, it is easy to say the wrong thing."

"Brigg Umbrella wants to invite you to be the face of the brand, uh, they offer a two-year endorsement fee of 800,000 pounds, which is on par with the top supermodels." Brandon said scrutinically as he looked at the contents of the notepad.

Brigg is an amazing luxury brand with a long history and a small reputation, loved by the royal family and old money.

In particular, their umbrella can benchmark the status of Rolls-Royce in the automotive industry, with the ghost weather of England, even if it rains and can't open the umbrella, holding a Brigg black umbrella, it shows the best British gentleman's taste.

Luxury brands at this level rarely invite celebrities to endorse, and to put it mildly, the consumer audience looks down on celebrities. I don't even use models much in the product display, and the bare goods are placed there.

They are usually willing to ask celebrities such as businessmen and scientists to be the spokesperson of a certain product, but this kind of opportunity is very rare, and it depends on whether the elders are willing to play.

In the "Moses Chart" photographed by a special BBC reporter, Hall used a Brigg umbrella, so they were keenly looking for the door.

「…… Let it die." Hall said speechlessly.

He crossed the low-key financial boss who originally planned to be hidden behind the scenes, and unconsciously deviated from the path of future generations of Internet entrepreneurs, and can only say that the world is impermanent.

But endorsement ...... Hall suddenly thought of an ad that spoke for himself, and it was a very interesting way to play. Moreover, in the thinking logic of Europe and the United States, ideas such as changing the world and being maverick are particularly popular.

…………

The convoy drove back to AEC, and Hall rode Lucca's old Ford to the Parliament building in a low-key manner.

It was almost noon, and in the dining room of the Houses of Parliament, you could see many elders who held real power and new stars who could be expected in the future.

It's a pity that Hall is going to meet the big people today, so he doesn't have time to wander around.

Led by Aunt Caroline, walk to a square table in the corner of the dining room. Ms. Helena sat alone on one side, and on the other sat an old man and a middle-aged man with glasses.

Hall sat down next to his mother, said hello to the two men, and the four of them ate lunch in silence.

"How's it going, what's the taste of the food here?"

After lunch, the old man took out his cigar and small scissors from his pocket as if he were juggling, and took a delicious sip of the cigar: "Oh, sorry Helena, please forgive me for being rude to this old man. After all, at my age, I may go to see your father at any time, and I always want to enjoy life greedily."

"Uncle Byron, quitting smoking will allow you to enjoy life for a few more years." Helena said helplessly.

Hall replied earnestly, "It tastes great, after all, the English recipes are similar to the thickness of American history books, and the taste is very traditional."

"Wonderful young man."

The corners of the old man's mouth twitched, and he showed an ugly smile, and then got to the point:

"First of all, child, allow me to be deeply sorry for you being involved in a shameless political game. But I have to say that this is your responsibility, as a true nobleman, you have enjoyed a life that is difficult for ordinary people to expect from birth, so you must also have the responsibility of being a nobleman."

"Secondly, child, please allow me, an old-fashioned nobleman who is about to enter the coffin, to show you the utmost respect for your ability, responsibility, courage, and exaltation."

Hall bowed slightly, "Thank you for your recognition, Count Byron."

"You're welcome, your grandfather and I are good friends, and we almost dropped out of school when we were studying." The old man looked at the scattered ashes, and his thoughts drifted away.

Hall said, "Is it a school for Yinton?"

"Of course, people like us were named in the alumni directory of Yinton College as soon as they were born. When I was a student, I spent my time in Yinton...... Speaking of which, Charles's child is almost old enough to go to Yinton to study, right? …… Those things about him and Diana are really ......" The old man's thoughts became more and more divergent.

The middle-aged man on the side coughed lightly

"We have to go back to work."

"Well, kid, thank you for giving up your precious lunchtime to listen to me old man." The old man stopped.

The middle-aged man chimed in: "The weather is great today, the sun is just right here, perfect for going to the park and then watching a ball game in the afternoon."

"That sounds like a good suggestion, Mr. Major." Hall stood up and took his leave.

The middle-aged man patted him on the shoulder, "You can call me John, I appreciate what you did on Black Monday, maybe we can have a good chat another day."

"I don't think anyone would refuse to speak to a gentleman who knows the economy of England best." Hall smiled.

I secretly thought to myself that this should be regarded as an investment in advance, and after two years, Mr. John made a female prime minister, I don't know if he will still be so low-profile and easy to speak.

The lunch that his old mother took him to eat today was simple and luxurious.

A current Chancellor of the Exchequer, a future Commander-in-Chief, who is neoconservative? The other represents the traditional aristocracy, and these two are considered to be the "talkers" of the current camp of the Hall family.

Listening to the tone of the Earl of Byron, he was remembered by the elders.

Hall was escorted all the way out of the Houses of Parliament by Aunt Caroline, and not far down the street, a Ford honked several horns.

"Go get in that car, spend the afternoon in the park, soak up the sun, and watch a ball game." Aunt Caroline said mysteriously.

"Huh?"

Caroline smiled and helped him straighten his collar, "Go ahead, it's a little meeting gift for you prepared by the Earl of Byron and Mr. Major, and it will be good for what you are doing now."
