Chapter 143: Naughty Child



Now that the film has been completed and the main actors have left, Allen agreed to let her come.

If it weren’t for good time management, I would have been exposed.

Alan was not afraid, but he felt that it was somewhat immoral to let people meet each other.

This has nothing to do with being a scumbag. Allen feels that it's just that his passion for each member of the opposite sex is relatively short.

He dared to swear to the Queen that he was loyal to every member of the opposite sex!

It’s just that the time of concentration is shorter.

Gently pulling away Li Zhi's dishonest little hand, Allen said seriously: "You have performed well recently. Do you not like this job very much?"

Allen helped Li Zhi set up a small film and television company, but this company did not make movies. It just kept an eye out for any talented actors and was mainly a post-production staff in film and television shooting.

At the beginning, Li Zhi did a good job, but as she went on, she felt a little bored.

There is the Governor of Hong Kong shining above, and Alan behind.

It doesn’t really matter who she wants to poach!

She can poach whoever she wants. When she has nothing to do all day, she goes around various film crews. It's even more boring to face a bunch of people who respectfully call her "Ms. Li".

Li Zhi was born in Shanghai, mainland China. He moved to Hong Kong with his family in the early 1980s and later went abroad to study.

He entered the entertainment industry after returning from his studies.

But she is not good at speaking Cantonese and is often laughed at. Even though she has a pretty face,...

There are so many good-looking people in the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry, but there are limited resources. If you want to get ahead, you have to pay something.

Li Zhi's original idea was to transform herself into an action star, and she worked really hard and was not afraid of any hardship or fatigue.

Before Allen met her, she took over the movie she was about to star in, and her character had a lot of beating scenes!

but……

Didn’t he meet Earl Allen?

Everything about her has changed!

She originally entered the entertainment industry simply for fame and to make some money to support her family.

Now that she had Alan, she had everything she needed.

Although Allen never gave her any money from beginning to end, she still had connections. After Allen left Hong Kong, many people gave her gifts, hoping that she would pass on a message to Earl Allen who was far away in England, say a few good words to him, or give them a chance to meet.

Li Zhi didn't dare to take these things at first, but Allen told her to take whatever she wanted!

After living like this for a while, Li Zhi couldn't stand it anymore. She felt like a big vase!

"It's not that I don't like it, but..."

Li Zhi didn't know what to say, so he lowered his head and started acting coquettishly.

"Okay, okay... then."

Alan thought about it and decided to find something to do since he was bored.

All along, both Christina and some other friends often gave gifts to Allen, but Allen rarely gave gifts in return.

First, he really didn’t know what the other person needed and didn’t know what to give them.

Second,…

He had limited funds some time ago and didn't want to do so many miscellaneous things.

Now that Li Zhi is here, Allen has some new ideas. For example, there are so many traditional handicrafts in China, some of which have been lost in the future, which is a pity.

Then, could Master Allen let Li Zhi set up a jewelry and luxury goods company in the name of protecting traditional craftsmanship, and then use the money to invest in mainland China?

Take these high-end things under your umbrella?

Then……

Allen can use these things, which are very new to Westerners, as gifts.

In this way, not only can you gain face, but you can also help improve the brand value of these things, and then... make money!

No matter how expensive these things are in China, as long as they are brought abroad, we will increase the price by dozens of times!

Anyway, this thing is something that nobles play with. If you don’t have money to play with it, you’ve got to die!

What we want is high-end, which means expensive!

Go the aristocratic route first, and give away gifts like princesses and queens slowly. Wouldn't that help you gain fame?

Allen pulled Li Zhi and hugged him, then slowly told him what he had just thought.

"Are you trying to get me out?!"

Li Zhi was very alert, pouting his lips and frowning.

As soon as she got off the plane, Allen told her that he wanted her to return to China to invest!

"How could that be... I'm telling you the plan first! If you're bored, then help me run the business and earn some pocket money."

Li Zhi narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

Alan was a little helpless. Women are not easy to deceive!

He just didn't want Li Zhi to live here forever. What did he do wrong?

"Wait a few days, I'll introduce you to a friend. Then you can use his connections to go back to China. You've been away for a few years, don't you want to go back and take a look?"

Seeing that business alone could not arouse Li Zhi's interest, Allen shifted his focus and began to talk about feelings and homesickness.

"My parents are both in Hong Kong, why would I go back? Unless... you go with me."

“…”

"Okay, okay... Then you have to wait for a while. I'm quite busy this year. I guess I'll be busy until after Christmas. Let's wait until next year. When I'm free, I'll go back with you to have a look. But you have to prepare in advance, okay?"

Holding Li Zhi's little hand, Alan spoke in a gentle tone.

He now envied the male protagonists in those novels very much. With just one look, they could make all kinds of women get along harmoniously. Everyone would get red in the face for a man.

But he really couldn't do it. Not to mention whether he had the physical strength to keep up, Alan only had a little bit of emotion towards most people, and the rest was just curiosity.

As for Li Zhi, I just have a little more feelings for him.

Since we are not marriage material, let’s just date for now.

"Cousin! This is for you!"

After resting at home for three days, Alan still didn't receive a reply from the princess, but he did receive a reply from his cousin William whom he hadn't seen for a long time!

The first thing the little brat did when he met Alan was to hand over a big box in his hand to Alan.

Looking at this thing that looks like a game console, Alan raised his eyebrows. William is such a good brother!

It’s only been a short time. Last time I had to snatch his game console, but this time when I came here, he actually thought of giving a gift to his cousin on his own initiative!

This is progress!

“Haha…Okay!”

Alan squatted down and rubbed William's little head, but William did not leave Alan enough time to be proud. Seeing Alan accept the gift, his second sentence exposed his true nature.

"Cousin, I heard from Capel that you found me a new calf that is more domineering than the one I had?"

“…”

Alan's smile was a little stiff. Damn it, if I don't give you a cow, you won't give me a game console?

Is it necessary for us brothers to make such a clear distinction?

I'm still waiting to help you share the state affairs in the future!

"William...we are brothers, right?"

"Um."

William nodded perfunctorily, looking around, and was not surprised to see a black-haired, oriental-looking older sister standing behind Alan. He didn't care at all. What he cared about most now was the cow!

"Then there's the relationship between brothers. Your cousin gave you a cow because he cares about you. Do you understand?"

Alan began to instill concepts into William with a sincere look on his face.

"Then I'm giving you a game console out of affection! This is a new game console, and it has the latest games!"

“…”

this……

William's words made Allen feel a little uncomfortable.

Looking behind William, he saw that the servant who came with him last time had been replaced. Seeing this, Alan smiled and nodded. That was right.

"Where's your mother? I wrote her a letter, why didn't she reply? Didn't she ask you to bring me a message?"

It has been such a long time since I wrote to the princess, but there has been no reply. Although Allen is not in a hurry, it is not a big deal if there is no reply.

Why are both of them like this!

Charles is slow to reply, and the princess is also slow to reply!

"Ah? My mother seemed to have told me, but I forgot, unless you give me the cow first!"

William tilted his head and winked at Alan.

“…”

Damn this naughty kid, when did he learn to negotiate? !

Alan took a deep breath, and the corners of his mouth twitched, relieving the annoyance in his heart.

It's not easy to deal with little brats. Arrogance and domineering behavior are a double-edged sword.

but……

How can I still be controlled by a naughty kid like you?

If this gets out, what will happen?

Standing up, Alan looked down at William and said, "My dear cousin, I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do today. I have to go to London. You can play here and we can talk about the cow when I come back!"

"ah?"

William, who was originally very proud of himself, was a little confused.

That's where his logic ends. He can threaten people, but he doesn't know how to deal with being threatened in return.

"Cousin...you invited me here to play! And now you're leaving me behind!"

"Then I didn't say when I would invite you."

Alan licked the corner of his mouth and said, "You naughty kid, how can I be better than you?"

"Prepare the car! Get ready to go. Take good care of the little prince."

Alan waved his hand and gave instructions to Hut, who was standing nearby and watching the fight with a smile on his face.

Hut was very sensible and pretended to ask the servants to prepare the car.

"Hey, hey! Huth, you can't let anyone drive the car. My cousin still wants to play with me! My mom gave me a day off!"

Hut spread his hands, said nothing, and looked at Allen.

"Cousin...my mother said she needs to investigate the market situation first and has a lot of information to look at. She will not be able to reply for a few days!"

Seeing that the threat failed, William decisively pulled Allen's pants and told him the truth.

"Ahahaha...that's right. There's no need for us to be so formal with each other. Look...I originally had something else to do, but for you, I'm going to cancel it!"

Looking at the convoy driving out of the garage from a distance, Alan explained to William sincerely.

"???"

William looked at the convoy and then at Alan. For a moment he couldn't tell whether this was true or Alan was lying to him.

"Then my..."

"Don't mention the cow! I'll give it to you before you leave!"

After successfully getting the information he wanted, Allen did not indulge William.

Isn’t the younger brother meant to be played with?

It will be hard to tease him when he grows up, and now Alan doesn't want to give him the feeling of negotiating conditions!

Listen to your cousin and don’t go against him!

The younger brother must be trained from an early age!

William absent-mindedly pulled him to play games with him when William inserted his so-called latest game cartridge into the game console.

Looking at the familiar scenes on TV, Alan was a little surprised!

This thing is actually Double Dragon 1!

Holy shit, are there games like this in this era?

Alan still has a deep impression of this game, but he is not impressed by the first Double Dragon, but the second one!

Those were his childhood memories. Who hadn’t played cassette games as a kid?

In his time, there was no Subor, but there were imitation game consoles made by small factories from the south.

In the early days, cassettes were several in one or even more than ten in one.

Later, things became more and more outrageous. With the popularity of the famous keyboard learning machine, pirated cartridges gradually became popular, and later on, there were even hundreds of game cartridges in one.

But what impressed Alan the most was that for all fun games, the cartridge casing was orange in color and felt heavier in the hand!

The junk game cartridges have bright yellow casings and are relatively light in the hand.

At that time, due to technological limitations, sometimes after the cartridge was inserted into the game console, the TV screen would be distorted when it was turned on, and you would have to take out the cartridge, blow on it, and then wipe the gold fingers with your hands.

At that time, I didn’t know that the cassette connector was called the Gold Finger. I just knew that if the screen was distorted, I just had to wipe it.

I didn’t expect that this kind of thing, which carries so many childhood memories, would come out in this era.

This even made Allen feel a little unreal.

“Is this a game that just came out this year?”

"Um!"

William looked like he knew a lot, and he used the controller to explain to Alan how to play the game, and also taught him some so-called little tricks.

Alan narrowed his eyes...

Kids love this thing so much, and it looks like there's a lot of potential in it, so why not take advantage of the opportunity to grab some?

Nintendo seems to be from an island country, right?

Then Master Allen now has partners in the island country!

"Cousin, cousin, hurry up and start!"

"Um?"

Alan ignored the cow and focused on William on TV.

"You don't play this at home?"

"Ah... my mom only lets me play on weekends, not on weekdays!"

Hold!

It turns out that parents are the same no matter where they come from!

But this stupid brother actually sent the game to him and then came here to play the game openly?

Allen held the controller, sat cross-legged on a low stool, and gently touched William with his arm and said, "So, if you don't play games, what do you do besides studying?"

William was so engrossed in the game that Alan bumped into him several times before he came to his senses. He stared at the screen and said subconsciously, "My mom always takes me to play with my little sister. I don't want to go. I want to play games!"

“…”

I am superficial!

Allen also thought that the princess was very strict with her children and restricted William from playing games.

But I never expected her ideas to be so advanced!

Starting from such a young age, you took William to meet all kinds of young ladies?

Is this to prevent William from being an unmarried young man at an older age like his father, so he has to start from a young age?

The princess is indeed very down-to-earth and social!

It’s just that this stupid cousin is so ungrateful. He is still young and doesn’t understand the beauty of the little sister at all. Now he only thinks about playing games.

He glanced at William with some sympathy as he was playing the game seriously.

When this guy grows up and loses his golden hair and becomes bald, I wonder if this cousin will be able to find a wife by then.

During lunch, Alan handed a photo to William and said, "See, this is the cow I found with great difficulty. This is what it will look like when it grows up!"
