258 Hand to hand
Chu Xiangqian understood as soon as he heard it, so that Margaret would be persuaded to make less trouble, but let her manage the positive image of practicing kung fu and fitness, which could also offset some of the negative effects.
Not only will the royal family thank themselves, but so will Downing Street and the aristocracy.
After thinking about it, Chu Xiangqian really thought of some ideas, and said to Norton with a smile, "Wallace and Charles mentioned the matter of Yau Ma Tei Racecourse last time, you help me to suppress the price to the Chief Secretary and the Lands Department."
I talk to Margaret and try to guide her to do something positive. What do you think? β
I had previously talked to Assistant Commissioner of Police Blair and Superintendent Charles about this land, but what I needed to pay was 20 sweaty horses.
Now it seems that I have lost a lot.
Chu Xiangqian naturally had to find a way to stop the loss.
But if you directly tell Blair, Charles and others that you regret it, you must be a fool.
But if his side takes the lead in getting the land of the weather station, Blair and the others will have no reason to ask for benefits from themselves.
Norton nodded without even thinking about it, as long as Margaret didn't get into trouble, let alone herself, even her grandfather could get more support from the royal family, the nobility, and Downing Street.
This is a great thing for the entire Mountbatten family.
"Master, you wait for me, I'll go talk to Mr. Hader."
Chu Qianqian looked at Margaret like the stars holding the moon.
Seriously, this woman is not extremely beautiful among European and American women, but the bonus of identity and temperament can make a woman with 85 points become 90 points.
And Chu Xiangqian is not stupid, let alone establishing a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship, at most being a close friend of the relationship and close.
Anyway, the aristocratic circle is already very chaotic, and even after men and women get married, it is more convenient for them to play their own games.
The British can't even accept Margaret falling in love with a divorced Air Force combat hero, and if she is found to be in love with an Asian, she may even make it public, and she will have murderous intentions.
Thinking of this, Chu Xiangqian simply didn't join in the fun, took a wine glass, came to the balcony on the second floor, and took out a Great Wall cigar from his pocket.
After the point, he looked at Victoria Harbour from the top of the hill, then swept his eyes to Central, Wan Chai, Causeway Bay, and finally Kowloon across the harbour.
Compared with the brilliant lights a few decades later, Hong Kong Island at this time does not look like a big city with flowers.
But it also means that there are plenty of opportunities to make a fortune.
I silently thought in my heart that the land on the side of the Kowloon Weather Station should be the first step for me to become a big landlord on Hong Kong Island.
When he was thinking that he would become the largest landowner on Hong Kong Island, the chairman of a listed company, the richest man on Hong Kong Island, and even the world's richest man in the future.
My ears suddenly moved, and I heard the footsteps of high-heeled shoes coming from the other side of the stairs.
I thought it was a female guest, but I didn't want my footsteps to get closer and closer, and when I looked back, I saw Margaret in a white dress, walking over with a smile.
"Didn't bother you, did you?"
Chu Xiangqian shook his head, and saw Margaret frowning slightly and complaining, "The banquet here is really boring, and the people in the banquet hall talk the most about business or business." β
After speaking, he looked at the cigar in Chu Xiangqian's hand, and Chu Xiangqian immediately understood that this woman was addicted to smoking.
But it's not good to be in front of the celebrities on Hong Kong Island, like an aristocratic party in London, you can smoke if you want, and if you want to get drunk, no one cares.
Even if you look at the right eye, you can quietly find a room to mess around.
Chu Xiangqian 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 was happy, she reached out and took it, and Chu Xiangqian took out a lighter and lit it for her.
The relationship between the two seems to have gotten closer all of a sudden.
After chatting and talking, after the wine in the glass was finished, Margaret took the initiative to run to get a bottle of whiskey.
Ten minutes later, probably because the whiskey was high in alcohol, Margaret was slightly drunk, and she didn't start to complain, "You don't know, Chu, I feel like I'm going crazy."
It doesn't matter if I'm in love, who I make friends with, what parties I go to, what events I attend, all of them are restricted.
Even when I wanted to wear Tiffany's jewelry, they started interfering.
Anyway, I have to support England's own jewellery companies.
The most devastating thing is that I have never liked to drink a glass of milk before bed, and I hate cookies.
But my lady-in-waiting, the Countess of Brynn, had been following the advice of the nutritionist, and every night before going to bed, she would watch me finish a glass of milk and eat three cookies. β
Chu Xiangqian was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Then isn't she worried about your dental health and weight?" β
Margaret's resentment deepened, "Ms. Brin has always believed that I would be best at 130 pounds. But I'm ,γγγ tall β
Speaking of this, Margaret hurriedly stopped her next words, and her body turned slightly to the side, leaving only this side of her face for Chu Xiangqian.
The corners of Chu's mouth tilted forward, knowing what Margaret wanted to say.
Scanning his eyes up and down, he soon found that this woman's arms and waist were a little plump, and she had a long face, only thin cheeks were more beautiful.
Once the face is rounded, the appearance will plummet by one or two levels.
Margaret seemed to notice Chu Qianqian's gaze, and frowned slightly, "Chu, looking at a lady like this is not a gentleman's behavior. β
Chu shrugged forward, "I'm sorry, I'm just observing your physical condition, thinking about what boxing techniques and key exercise parts I will teach you tomorrow, so as to make your figure slimmer, and I won't think that weight loss will cause your body to deform." β
Margaret didn't have the kung fu to look forward at Chu, and asked in surprise, "Chu, can you really shape yourself by practicing kung fu?" β
Chu Xiangqian immediately thought of the many fitness videos he had watched in his previous life.
Not to mention losing fat on the arms and thighs, there are many ways to enlarge the buttocks.
With a confident face, he said, "I'm a recognized martial arts master, and even though you're past 10 years old, it's not hard to teach you how to get in shape.
The only problem is that whether it is practicing kung fu or body shaping exercises, it requires a lot of patience and willpower.
Otherwise, if you give up after a month of exercising, you will regain weight and gain weight with a high probability. β
Margaret hurriedly promised, "Don't worry, Chu, as long as I see the effect within a month, I will definitely stick to it." β
After speaking, as if he was worried that Chu Xiangqian would not believe it, he continued, "I have been officially practicing horse riding since I was 8 years old, and now I have insisted on itγγγγ β
Margaret wanted to say that she had persevered for 18 years, but after thinking about it, if she said so, wouldn't it be the same as telling Chu Xiangqian that she was 26 and almost 27 years old?
"I've been doing it for more than ten years, and I've never stopped training in equestrianism. I'm sure I'll be able to keep it up. β
Chu shrugged forward, nodded with a smile, and asked casually, "Since you have been training equestrianism for more than ten years.
Haven't thought about competing in equestrian competitions?
If you win an Olympic medal, I'm sure more people will like you. β
Margaret shook her head, "I only live for myself, why should I care what other people think?" β
Chu Xiangqian immediately understood that this woman had been interfered with because of her first love, and even openly and secretly opposed, and she had already developed a strong rebellious mentality.
After thinking about it, he said, "If I were you, I would win an equestrian championship first, 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 to make so much effort and sweat meaningless, right?
And whether or not you can win the championship in the show jumping competition in equestrian depends largely on a good horse, maybe we can cooperate. β
As soon as Margaret heard this, she knew that Chu Xiangqian wanted to sell her horse for 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 was normal for the price to be higher.
And there will be no shortage of buyers.
And Margaret said that she wanted to 'be herself', but seeing that she cared so much about her figure, she knew that this woman was the same as other women, she was a showy person.
really didn't give her any chance of exposure, and 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 don't have traffic, they may be anxious and suffer from depression.
"Chu, are you sure you can help me find a horse with excellent explosiveness, stamina, flexibility, and execution?"
Chu Xiangqian nodded very confidently, and the two sweat blood horses that were given to Norton were the same as the original data of the Yezhao Jade Lion in terms of the three attributes of physique, strength, and agility.
All of them are 1.3 Constitution, 1 Strength, and 1.4 Agility.
In this way, after running 1,600 meters in the running field, the time is 1 minute and 46 seconds.
If this is replaced by a three-dimensional attribute, the red rabbit that is 0.1 higher will definitely be able to run within 1 minute and 40 seconds.
As long as you train hard and find a great rider, it is not impossible to run 1 minute 38 seconds, or even 1 minute 36 seconds.
And in 1 minute and 36 seconds, he can definitely win the championship on Hong Kong Island.
Even when I went to the United States to run the Triple Crown, when the competition was not so fierce, I had a chance to win the championship.
In other words, in the future, he only needs to select a horse with a physique and strength that is at the same level as Chitu's initial attributes, or even 0.1 higher, from the 3 horses that are refreshed every day.
That is, horses with a physique of 1.5 and a strength of 1.2 or more, let Margaret and the horse train for a period of time, and there is a real high probability that they can win a medal in the show jumping.
Although Margaret still didn't believe in Chu Xiangqian very much, when she thought of the two sweaty horses today, she felt that he was at least not the kind of person who had no confidence and made things up.
"Chu, let's make a pact, as long as you can find a horse that can do more in show jumping than the thoroughbred horse I use in training now. I give you a true national treasure of the Celestial Empire. β
Chu Xiangqian was stunned for a moment, and then stretched out his hand without hesitation, "According to the habits of the people of the Celestial Empire, high-five is an oath, and if anyone repents, it is tantamount to humiliating his surname and family." β
Margaret's expression suddenly became serious, and she reached out and put Chu Xiangqian's palm together, "In the name of the family and the surname." β
Chu nodded forward, and his palm and Margaret high-fived him three times.
Only then did he continue, "Wait for my good news." β
Margaret nodded again and again, 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 use her.
When the two of them returned to the banquet hall from the balcony, the eyes of the people present couldn't help but change as long as they saw Margaret smiling and talking and laughing with Chu Xiangqian.
And the party has been held until now, and the big guys basically know that Margaret will hold this party because she just got a 3-year-old purebred Akhal-Teke horse.
Hader, who was pestered by Norton, saw this situation, and the condescension in his eyes when he saw Chu Qianqian quickly turned into attention.
Hader knew very well that he could not sit directly in the position of Governor of Hong Kong from the position of Chief Secretary of Administration.
After all, this position has always been nominated by Downing Street and appointed by the King, that is, the candidates have always been from London.
In other words, Hader's position on Hong Kong Island has reached the top, and if he wants to move up one step further, he has to be transferred back to London.
But if you go back to London, if the position does not meet expectations, it is better to stay on Hong Kong Island.
One is that the status of the chief secretary is high enough, and the other is that there are many ways to make money on Hong Kong Island, and the most important thing is that there are many people who send him money.
But if someone helps, it will definitely be back in London, maybe in the future I can sit in the position of a minister, and even get involved in the throne of the first 'item' in Downing Street.
"Norton, I heard you just got two purebred Akhal-Teke horses, right?"
Norton knew what Hader meant when he heard this, and said with a smile, "If you're interested, maybe you can send someone to Central Asia to try your luck." You may encounter a rancher who has to sell his Akhal-Teke horse due to lack of funds. β
Hader laughed, the so-called sending people to Central Asia is just an excuse to avoid trouble.
"Do you have time to sit in my office tomorrow?"
After Chu Xiangqian followed Margaret down the second floor, he wanted to separate from her to find Norton.
But Margaret did not hesitate to reach out and put her arm around Chu Xiangqian, and now Chu Xiangqian couldn't go if he wanted to.
I even feel a softness from time to time.
scolded in his heart, and adjusted after just a few breaths, and then out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Blair, a ghost, was looking at him with a ghost guy about 50 years old.
Chu Xiangqian immediately recognized this ghost guy as Ge Bai, the boss of the police force.
He whispered to Margaret, "Your Highness, I have two friends here, would you like to go over and say hello together?" β
Margaret glanced forward, and she couldn't tell that this guy was trying to take advantage of her identity.
But on occasions like parties, even people you don't know can come over and say hello as long as someone introduces them.
Margaret said secretly, just like Chu Xiangqian and those who were introduced, it would be no problem to see two of his friends.
And in her heart, Chu Xiangqian's status in her heart at this time will not be worse than her friend.
Nodding with a smile, he was led by Chu Qianqian towards Blair and Ge Bai.
