Chapter 237: How can I help you?



Nicole Kidman remembers the parties she attended while promoting her new film in America in May.

Perhaps the banquets at that time were arranged in a higher standard than the one today.

But those who attended the party were producers, small directors, small actors and the like.

It looks glamorous, but the whole banquet is a vanity fair. The actors praise the director, the director praises the producer, the producer praises the financier, and everyone takes turns to flatter.

That expression...is so similar to the one now.

The only difference is that those Americans are less well-mannered and are always speaking openly, while these Australians today are being more tactful.

And now, she has changed from an ordinary nobody who needed to toast others a few months ago to half the owner today.

Nicole just stood beside Allen with a gentle smile on her face, looking at people who occasionally looked at her. Others gave her a gentle, envious smile, and she smiled back.

This gave Nicole a new understanding of British social banquets.

Everyone looks very low-key and gentlemanly, and the atmosphere is very good!

Turning her head slightly, Nicole looked at the center of the crowd. All this was because of the man whose arm she had crutched.

Allen's profile looks very well-defined. He talked to Bill Hayden next to him in a low voice with an expressionless face, as if he was oblivious to the Australian elites around him!

It was a similar banquet, but because of the difference in status, everything else changed.

"Sir, a few days ago I suspended the business of the Sony store in Sydney on the grounds of public security. They have been asking people to find connections these days."

Bill Hayden held a champagne glass and stood talking with Allen.

"Haha... Well done. Wait until I leave. I'll keep Patrice here and let him accompany you. When those Japanese people see him with you, they'll know what I mean."

There are no conflicts without reason. When these people see Patrice show up, they will know why they were bullied.

Now that you understand why and what to do next, do you still need to be taught?

Allen's meaning is very clear.

If you Sony don’t attack and cause trouble, then I will attack you Sony!

Compared to attacking others and being attacked, I believe normal people know what to choose next.

If they can have problems in Sydney, they can have problems somewhere else. They suspended their business this time, but what about next time?

What about other places?

Bill Hayden chatted with Allen, observing the reactions of the guests around them with his peripheral vision.

The guests he invited today were all people who were close to him or who he could get along with.

But some of these people had different ideas because he became governor some time ago.

From a local, I became a supervisor who was high above and standing on the sidelines. My class, position and identity changed, and everyone's interests became somewhat different.

Now is the right time for Lord Allen to come.

Not during the high-spirited period when he first took office.

But it was the period after Bill Hayden fully realized his embarrassing situation.

It's like a timely help!

Look at how these people reacted when they saw him standing next to Lord Allen and chatting so intimately. Some of those who had other ideas, after today's banquet, may not completely change their minds, but at least they will re-examine how to get along with their new governor in the future.

A new governor who was suddenly promoted to a lower noble and had no foundation, and a new governor who had aristocratic connections in Britain, are completely different things!

The simple banquet ended at around eight o'clock.

Alan acted very calmly. He was very cold to all the guests who came to the banquet. Even the descendant of his former guard, Alan did not talk to him for too long.

It was as if he was not interested in anyone and looked extremely arrogant.

But it was his attitude that made these Australian elites more satisfied. It seemed like it should be this way. That was the feeling.

Isn't it normal for the hereditary aristocrats from Britain to come to Australia with such an arrogant and cold attitude?

It would be abnormal if he was very kind and friendly to everyone, right?

Nicole Kidman was very reluctant to let Allen go when she learned that Allen was about to leave. After returning to the villa at night, she hugged Allen tightly from behind and said, "Can I go back with you?"

“…”

It's this kind of question again. What can you do if you come back with me?

Well……

What can I do?

Allen smiled and grabbed Nicole's hand, asked her to come in front of him, pinched Nicole's cheek and said, "I still have to go to Hong Kong. I have a lot of things to do recently. When I'm not busy, I'll contact you again, okay?"

Nicole stared at Alan's eyes for a long time. Alan's eyes were very bright and looked extremely sincere.

He was busy with his career, and Nicole couldn't find any excuse to bother Alan.

But she was unwilling to let Alan go just like that.

After thinking about it, Nicole Kidman decided to change her approach and asked, "How can I help you?"

Alan smiled and sat down on the edge of the bed, just about to say that he didn't need Nicole's help with anything.

But thinking of this, he suddenly thought of Nicole's family background.

A senior Nd-Quan, her mother is a Nd-Quan, and so is Nicole herself.

Now……

Allen didn't know much about where the neodymium spring originated, but the word was originally used in a positive sense.

After the Industrial Revolution, there were few people and factories were understaffed, so women were encouraged to work outside their homes.

However, due to certain differences, the salary and treatment of female workers are often not as good as those of male workers.

Later, Neodymium Spring came into being, which was a form of striving for equal pay for equal work for female workers.

This is a very positive and reasonable request.

It can be understood as the foreign version of the Women's Federation.

Later, as this thing spread, something started to seem a little strange.

Starting from America, neodymium springs have gradually changed from demanding fairness and fighting for fair treatment for women to becoming a form of fighting for more privileges for themselves.

That guy...later spread to Asia.

It's like opening Pandora's box.

I won’t go into details, but in the end this thing became a weapon in the hands of a group of brainless people with extremely low cultural level.

They do all kinds of shocking things under all kinds of names.

Alan now suddenly had an idea. Didn’t he save a pair of Korean sisters when he went to the Seoul Olympics last time?

These two have been recovering from their injuries for more than half a year now, so they should have recovered by now, right?

Now that they have recovered from their injuries, and Master Allen saved their lives, they should do something to repay him, right?

Why not let them come to Australia, and then have Nicole's mother, the old expert, personally train them in advanced American ideas, and then send the sisters back to Korea to carry forward the ideas?

Tsk tsk…

Alan couldn't help himself when he thought of this. This was just a leisurely move. He just wanted to give the Koreans some fun whenever he wanted. It didn't take much effort anyway.

"You can really help me."

Alan took Nicole's hand and slowly told her what he had just thought.

"Hmm? Well...if they go back and set up a Women's Self-Empowerment Association, they'll need a lot of money to do it later."

Nicole became a little upset when she heard that Allen wanted the sisters to return to Korea and set up a Korean Women's Self-Empowerment Association.

These non-profit organizations have little profitability.

"Tsk... Since we want to strengthen ourselves, why not mobilize Korean women to donate money? Isn't that what you should do? Give them some plans and teach them more. For example, you can also join those American organizations and give them a boost."

It's okay to give a little money at the beginning, but Allen won't always be a sucker. After all, it's the Koreans' own business. They donated money to the islanders in the beginning. Now that it involves their own affairs, it's reasonable for them to donate some money to the Women's Self-Empowerment Association, right?

Nicole glanced at Allen suspiciously, but didn't think much about it.

Allen's first film was a film that was very much oriented towards women. From then on, the outside world labeled him as a very approachable and advanced-minded aristocratic lord.

It was with this understanding that Nicole didn't think much about it when Alan asked her to help train people.

The two looked at each other...

Alan didn't want Nicole to ask too many questions. Some things would mutate more severely if changed into a different environment and background. He just let Nicole teach in a normal way. As for how the sisters would develop after they finished their studies and returned to Korea, he could still control it remotely.

It’s getting late now, so let’s talk about something else.

"I heard you got a new set of clothes? And you're so secretive about it."

"Why?"

Seeing Alan asking this, Nicole blushed and whispered, "Don't you like hunting? I bought a rabbit uniform, do you want to see it?"

"ah?"

Alan's eyes lit up. Rabbit uniform?

Is Master Allen going to show off his shooting skills while hunting?

Hurry up?!

How does that sentence go?

Nicole's legs are carried on his shoulders, and Master Allen is extremely happy?

School is about to start in September, and Allen can skip classes openly, but William and Harry cannot.

This time Alan brought the two of them out just to let them have fun, and he didn't even bring William with him to social events.

Now that school is about to start, the servants and bodyguards are divided into two groups.

A large group of people accompanied William and his friends back to Wales to go to school.

Allen only brought a few bodyguards and servants, reducing the entire team to only a dozen people.

Old Carl had to go back to America to do some work, and Patrice stayed behind to handle the remaining matters in Australia, collecting money and urging Sony to get to work quickly.

Allen arrived in Hong Kong on September 3rd in a very low-key manner.

He did not rush to the Governor's Mansion immediately, but went to his property in Hong Kong first, which was the small villa given to him by Mr. Li.

"Master, you are back..."

Li Zhi was wearing a deep V black long skirt, the hem of which was made of gauze, which looked extremely elegant.

She drawled out the word and took the bag that Alan was carrying, like a wife from a wealthy family waiting for her husband to come home.

Alan almost felt weak when Li Zhi called him "Master".

Too greasy and too sweet.

Before coming, he had contacted Li Zhi and told her that he was coming to see her. Unexpectedly, Li Zhi would play this trick on her as soon as he entered the door.

"Haha, calling me master makes me look old."

Alan smiled slightly and looked at Li Zhi, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. What to say.

She was dressed much more maturely than when I first met her, but there was still a hint of resentment on her face.

Alan had never promised her anything. Their relationship was very strange, like lovers, but a little different from lovers.

People like him used to just be interested in finding someone to accompany him for a while, but Alan couldn't stand being together for a long time.

He doesn't care what will happen to these people if they leave him.

It was like those novels he had read before, where a man found many women, and each of them was completely obsessed with him, and they all got along very well.

It’s impossible to even think about it, what is something that can’t be changed with time?

Allen himself never thought of putting these people in a cage like canaries.

We are just a fleeting relationship. If we think about it, we can be together. If we have our own lives in the future, it doesn't matter if we don't.

Anyway, Allen has given the compensation that should be given, and he never restricts the opposite sex he knows from doing anything.

But Li Zhi's look of waiting for him anxiously made Allen feel guilty.

Without waiting for Allen to say more, Li Zhi pulled Allen to the restaurant and said as he walked, "I knew you were coming, so I made you some soup, try it."

Looking at the four dishes and one soup on the small table and Li Zhi’s expectant face.

To be honest, Alan even felt a little warmth of home at this moment.

He hadn't felt this way in a long time.

How to say it, the current Carmarthen manor is his home, but there is nothing worth remembering in that home.

Sometimes he feels lonely even at home.

Then apart from handling daily affairs, the only thing left is to make a movie for fun to relieve loneliness.

Now here, in this small villa, there is a woman who is waiting for him to come back and prepares a table of food for him personally.

It’s a wonderful feeling, like being a young couple.

Putting down Alan's bag, Li Zhi picked up a small bowl and served Alan soup. Looking at Alan staring at the dish in a daze, he chuckled and said, "What? This isn't your favorite dish?"

Hearing Li Zhi's voice, Allen came back to his senses and forced a smile, "I love it."

Looking at the dishes on the table, they are delicious, but they are all nutritious.

Looking at these dishes, Alan could imagine how fierce the battle would be tonight.

He felt a slight pain in his liver.

Before leaving Australia, Nicole was very enthusiastic and looked like she was reluctant to leave and wanted to drain him dry, plus she didn't get enough rest on the plane.

Now he has just escaped from the wolf's den and entered the tiger's den.

Tsk…

At this moment, Alan thought about whether he should go find Wei Dewei tonight and have a good rest first.

But Li Zhi was sitting opposite him, resting his chin on his hands, looking at him expectantly.

this……

Forget it, what is coming will always come, so there is no need to be afraid.

Alan had no idea how long it had been since he last came to Hong Kong.

Now that I am back here again, I still feel fresh and familiar.

Mainly, this kind of environment makes him feel comfortable.

It's not like Wales, which is like a big rural village.

Early the next morning, after waking up from a daze, Allen patted Li Zhi on the shoulder and asked her to help contact Wei Dewei and invite him to a dinner at home tonight.
