"Huh?"
Alan looked at Boss Cha with some suspicion.
When the two of them talked about this topic before, although they were also secretive, Boss Cha's expression was not like that.
That kind of mentality that is a mixture of repression, excitement, taboo, and longing is very exciting.
But now?
Boss Cha's attitude was tense but also a little desperate and discouraged.
The two attitudes before and after are completely different.
It wasn't like this when we discussed setting fire some time ago!
Something must have happened, otherwise Boss Cha wouldn't be so depressed and nervous.
…
The atmosphere inside the car was a little dull, and Boss Cha looked at Allen's expression, which was also a little unnatural.
"What are you thinking about? Do you want me to give you a few months to think about it?"
“…”
When Boss Cha tried to change the subject for the second time, Allen knew that he could no longer ask about this topic.
Given his status, if Boss Cha doesn't say anything, Alan has no way to force him to tell. He can only wait... wait until the day when Boss Cha can't hold it in anymore.
But let’s get down to business.
Alan really wanted to grab Boss Cha by the collar and ask him if he had to go to this tough class today.
Can't he just be an honest noble lord in Wales and live a life of free food and drink?
…
"Your Highness, I...I don't know."
Alan is a severe hedonist who would rather lie down than stand. When he is at home, he just opens his mouth to eat and stretches out his hand to wear clothes. It is impossible for him to attend this class. Now that his family is rich, he just wants to enjoy himself. Does it mean that after earning so much money, he still has to go to work in the end?
Then, didn’t he earn his money in vain?
Does the family have to rely on the several thousand pounds he earns every month to pay the servants in the future?
It's so embarrassing.
"!"
"You are different from those ordinary local nobles. I hope you can enter a certain department and do some serious work. In this way, from the perspective of identity, even if you go out to introduce yourself in the future, you will have more titles, so that you won't cause trouble for me every once in a while."
Seeing that Xu Xu was trying to persuade Allen, Boss Cha told Allen his idea first.
"Your Highness... I..."
Seeing that he had to attend this tough class, Alan still wanted to struggle a little.
"I...can I find a job closer to home? I can't get up in the morning..."
“…”
When Boss Cha heard this, his eyebrows almost stood up.
What does it mean to find a place to work closer to home? Can't get up in the morning?
He is the crown prince and has to get up at seven or eight in the morning on weekdays to attend various activities. Now his chief guard wants to find a job closer to home because of such a lame excuse as not being able to get up in the morning?
Are you more pampered than me, the crown prince?
"Should I get you the position of Speaker of your Carmarthenshire County Council? And by the way, move your county council to your shabby castle so that you can go to work as soon as you get up every day?"
"Eh? Is this okay, Your Highness?"
"Shit! Don't even think about it!"
Boss Cha raised his hand and hit Alan on the forehead in a bluffing manner, scaring Alan so much that he shrank his neck back.
"I don't know anything else..."
…
Alan thought about it and thought of another lucrative job.
"Your Highness... Then I also want to be like my father and work in the logistics department, the navy will do... You know, I studied logistics management in college, I am very professional in this area."
“…”
Boss Cha glanced at Allen as if he was an idiot. Allen's father was his old subordinate. He had age and qualifications, and it was his ability that he could make it to the Navy Logistics Department.
But if Allen wants to get in now, that won’t work…
Such a lucrative job would not be easy to obtain even for the Earl if he wanted to gain experience.
Back then, the old earl worked in the naval logistics department. He was not a very high-ranking official, but he handled a lot of things.
It’s not that the naval logistics department can only manage things for the navy, but the old earl can handle all things that need to be transported on board the ship.
Given the old earl's character, a thief would never leave empty-handed. From time to time, he would steal some things and take them home to fill up his small arsenal.
A large number of the miscellaneous stuff in Alan's house now were brought home slowly by the old earl over the years.
Now... Alan also wants to follow in his father's footsteps, but... as soon as this idea was put forward, it was rejected by Boss Cha.
"With your current qualifications, there is no way you can get into this kind of department. Think of something else."
…
Neither this nor that is allowed!
"Your Highness... Can I still go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? If there are any places that are inconvenient for you to go, you can let me go for you... I can visit small countries."
"Where are you going? You dared to kill people in London. Why do you go to a place that is inconvenient for me to go? What do you want me to do? Kill people? Were you there to get things done or to cause trouble? Are you needed to cause trouble? But..."
Thinking of this, Boss Cha suddenly remembered something. Because Alan mentioned the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in Boss Cha's opinion, based on Alan's external conditions, he was actually very suitable for jobs like diplomat.
With good looks, strong family background and connections, he is a perfect template for a diplomat.
But the bad thing is that he has a bad temper!
It was still okay before when his notoriety wasn't so great, but after what happened this year, Boss Cha is a little worried about sending Allen out alone.
It would be a huge joke if he started fighting with people from other countries over a disagreement while doing serious work.
But sometimes this guy seems to have a long reach. According to reports from his subordinates, Alan's secretary has hooked up with the prince of Jordan. Boss Cha doesn't think this is a coincidence.
If it's not a coincidence... But from the perspective of business ability, Alan is still very suitable. He can be considered a junior troublemaker. In addition, due to his own identity, there are some places where the official is not suitable to go. If he is sent there, it may, possibly, or maybe, it will have a different effect.
However, Boss Cha plans to put this matter aside for the time being. He has a job that is more suitable for Allen, but this job... requires tricking Allen.
Boss Cha pretended to suddenly remember something and continued, "Put aside the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for now. I have a position here that is very suitable for you."
…
I thought it would not work this time, but unexpectedly, Boss Cha made a sudden change and his tone softened.
but……
Usually, there will be a quarrel first, and then a "but"...
Most of the words that followed were not good. Now that Boss Cha said there was a position that was very suitable for him, Alan subconsciously became a little alert.
"snort……"
Seeing Alan's expression of being unworthy of being served at the table, Boss Cha did not give him the chance to say more. He quickly introduced to him the general situation of this position that was said to be very suitable for Alan.
…
At the EU summit held in Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, a few days ago, it was officially confirmed that the EU will absorb new member states starting next year.
In the future, the EU will become increasingly larger in terms of coverage and influence.
Up to now, the three main institutions of the European Union are: the European Council, the European Commission and the European Parliament.
The European Parliament is the foundation of these three organizations. The leaders of the first two organizations are also selected step by step. Of course, the heads of the Council are not selected, as they are the heads of the member states and have nothing to do with the European Parliament. However, most of the middle and senior leaders and the staff below in other departments are selected from the European Parliament.
As more countries join, the European Parliament will also increase its seats accordingly.
Britain now has more than 60 seats in the European Parliament. This number of seats is divided proportionally based on the total number of EU member states and the total population of EU member states. In other words, the larger the country's population, the more seats it has, and the more member states there are, the more corresponding total number of members will be. There is also a linkage between the two.
Among these more than 60 members of parliament, whether it is the royal family or Boss Cha, they must take advantage of the opportunity next year to squeeze in people!
The European Parliament is a big family, and the aristocratic group representing the British upper class cannot be missing, so...
Allen is a good fit.
What to do if you have a bad temper?
Go to the European Parliament and make trouble!
Anyway, they are all foreigners. As long as there is no fighting or violence, Boss Cha can save Allen. On the contrary, if Allen makes a big fuss, it will also allow the outside world to see the British aristocracy group, which has always been very low-key. Moreover, Allen's identity is very clever. He not only represents the British aristocracy, but also vaguely represents the royal family.
When needed, he can represent!
In this way, Allen will first be given an ordinary identity as a member of the European Parliament, allowing him to blend in. After Allen has gained experience for a few years, he will be able to move up one step, from member of parliament to commissioner, and then from commissioner to director. Wherever Allen goes, the royal family will be able to reach out.
Moreover... Boss Cha now knows that Allen can go the route of being a non-partisan MP. In this way, as long as he enters the European Parliament, he can easily be wooed by many other parties. As long as Allen handles it well, he will be able to do well...
It's like having the best of both worlds... Boss Cha believes that Alan definitely has the experience to do the job.
Since this kid Allen is always stirring up trouble in Great Britain, why not send him to Europe? The country will be quiet, and Europe...
What does Europe have to do with Britain?
…
"Ah? The European Parliament?"
After listening to Boss Cha's description, Allen was stunned. This...
From the British House of Lords, directly to the European Parliament?
Did I get promoted?
Alan was not particularly interested in the bright prospects described by Boss Cha, such as becoming a director and reaching the peak of his life.
Given his lazy level, he couldn't stand having meetings every day.
"Your Highness...will I have to attend meetings every day after I go there?"
"No, it's very easy. You only need to go to Brussels for four days of meetings every month. The rest of the time is yours to arrange as you like."
"Oh... then..."
"No need to ask for these details. I'll give you some information later. When the European Parliament is not in session, it has many departments. You MPs will work part-time in these departments. Go back and read the information these days to understand the functions of each department. Then just tell me which department you want to go to."
"ah?"
Alan was a little confused when he saw that Boss Cha had assigned him a task after just a few words, even though he hadn't decided whether he agreed to it or not. He instinctively felt that this job... might not be easy.
"Okay... I'm almost there, you can get off now. By the way... I'll have someone go to your place tomorrow to pick up William and Harry. We are going back to London to attend the royal party tomorrow night."
Boss Cha pressed a button at his hand and the intercom connected to the driver in front.
"Stop at the highway exit ahead."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
…
The electric window slowly lowered, and Boss Cha stared at Alan, who was holding the documents and preparing to change the car, and called him again.
“Alan!”
"Your Highness, I am here..."
Alan trotted a few more steps to the side of the car.
"Don't talk so much to William and Harry when you go back. They are still young. There are some things they don't need to know now. Understand?"
“…”
Since the two met, Boss Cha had never mentioned that incident, but he unexpectedly mentioned it before leaving.
Alan's eyes flickered twice...
Looking at Boss Cha's expressionless face, he nodded and said, "I understand. I don't know anything and I won't tell them."
"Well... let's go back."
"Then... Your Highness, I will take my leave first."
…
The meeting ended at nearly eleven o'clock. Taking into account the time spent on the road, it was clearly time for lunch, but Boss Cha did not invite Allen to his manor for lunch. Perhaps he was afraid that the chickens he raised would be teased by Allen again.
So…it was already three o’clock in the afternoon when Alan arrived at his own home.
He had no appetite along the way. The more he thought about it, the more he felt as if he had been exiled. As soon as he got home, he saw Huth opening the door for him with a smile.
"What's wrong? Any good news?"
"Master, you are back... Your classmate came to visit you this morning and said he wanted to discuss a graduation party with you. He wanted to invite you to attend. He is Mr. George."
"Oh...where are the people?"
"He waited too long. I invited him to the castle for lunch at noon. He left at around one o'clock and said he would come to visit you again in a few days."
"Well... have someone prepare something to eat for me, and come with me to the study."
"oh?"
Hut looked at what Alan was holding and blinked. How come the young master was still so busy when Christmas was approaching?
"Master... uh... Actually, you don't have to be so busy sometimes. You are still young. Like your classmates, you can sometimes communicate more with them and experience more of your college life. Don't leave any regrets in your life."
"Um?"
Alan, who was walking in front, was slightly stunned when he heard this.
Yeah...it's the end of the year already, can't I take a break?
After looking at the information in my hand, I thought, screw you, what a shitty European Parliament, I, Master Alan, can do well anywhere.
What is there to study about the tiny European Parliament!
"Okay! Hahaha."
Allen stuffed the information into Hut's hand and said, "Then call my classmate and ask him to come over after the New Year when he's not busy. I want to see what kind of party they are planning."
"I'm going to take a shower and have someone send me some puddings. I'll skip the meal and have it with dinner later."
"Okay, Master!"
Hut took the information handed over by Allen with a smile, glanced at it briefly, and the smile on his face froze slightly.
"Detailed explanation of the work of the functional departments under the European Parliament"
What is this?
…
