"Boss, I have some questions."
Ceylon raised her hand at the right time. Her status in this family was much lower than that of Huth and Karl, even lower than that of Little Stone, who sat next to them like a little follower.
Hutt and old Carl are old servants of the Hill family. Both of them have the title of knight bestowed by Allen. They are considered to be big figures in the outside world. But Ceylon is different. She has always been one of Allen's external spokespersons. Since she stopped being a host, she has been in charge of some film and television related work on Allen's side.
But purely in terms of this, she is not as good as Siphis who is not present today. He is also an old servant of the Hill family. He used to work in the magazine industry. Later, after Allen succeeded to the throne, he promoted him and allowed him to participate in the Black Duck Project. Later, he gradually took over the positions of producer and assistant director of all the family's film and television projects.
Step by step, in the end Alan bestowed him the title. If he hadn't been busy abroad and had no time to come back, Ceylon's position would have had to be relegated to the sidelines.
Now... speaking of this plan, Ceylon was very keen to discover the opportunity, the intrigues in this plan. She was not good at doing dirty things, but she was good at publicity.
Allen not only wants employees, he also wants reputation!
Such a big thing must be explained to the outside world. Rescuing hundreds of women controlled by Argentine transnational criminal organizations is such a great achievement.
Although the big money will be shared by the relevant people in America, it is all their domestic affairs in America. When it comes to Europe...
Who do you think you are, Americans? All the credit should be added to Allen's head. Master Allen cleverly heard the news about this multinational organization by chance, and was very responsible to think of the innocent women controlled by them.
Then, relying on the connections of this old aristocrat, he contacted many people and finally lured the snakes out of their holes in America, rescuing hundreds of "technical women" who were trapped in hell.
Allen himself is well-known for caring about women's rights and interests. It is not surprising that he can do such a thing. As long as the publicity can keep up this time, Allen's position may move up. From an ordinary member of the European Parliament, he can probably get a position in the European Women's Association.
As a professional who started out as a host, Ceylon is familiar with the BBC and is very confident about this news publicity. In her opinion, such a thing must be done in cooperation with the BBC. As a British aristocrat, Allen himself has a certain journalistic attribute, and this time he is preparing to do something big, and the BBC will definitely be interested in this kind of news.
…
"you say!"
Alan nodded and looked at Ceylon.
"I see that your plan does not include any specific details for the subsequent news publicity. You can leave this to me. I plan to contact the BBC in advance and we will work together. On the night your plan succeeds, we will follow up with the report, confirm the facts, and vigorously publicize your achievements and positive image in this plan."
"Um……"
After hearing what Ceylon said, an unnatural look flashed across Alan's face.
The cause of this incident is that the BBC got the news first, but then kept it to itself. To some extent, he has poached people from the BBC, and now he has to seek help from BBC people to cooperate and promote himself. Isn't this... not good?
Even though Alan was thick-skinned, he felt a little embarrassed, but there was no need to hide this kind of thing from Ceylon. They were also considering Alan. Since this plan was to be carried out, these things had to be made clear to them, so as not to be hesitant and end up making a mistake.
"Well... the BBC actually has something to do with my plan..."
Allen avoided the main point and slightly changed the news he heard from Gustav, turning it into news he heard by chance. Allen did not mention many details, but made the BBC's involvement in this matter clear, and the result was basically the same.
"???"
Ceylon frowned and looked at Alan with an unpredictable look. After hesitating for dozens of seconds, he gritted his teeth and said, "Boss... This is actually not a big problem. The BBC has so many departments under its jurisdiction, and sometimes news grabbing happens. According to what you said, can you ask your friend who knows the news, which department is handling this news now? Just a few names, no need to be too precise. Then I will contact the department that doesn't have a good relationship with their department, and I will act as an insider and grab their news directly."
“Bang!”
Alan slammed the table, which scared Ceylon. She thought Alan felt that this was too mean, and was about to explain when she heard Alan laughing.
"Ceylon, I have always seen your ability. Your suggestion is very good. Then you will be responsible for this matter. I hope you can do a good job of follow-up work. Even if we have no choice but to hand over this news to other departments of the BBC in advance, don't let the department that has been following the news for a long time gossip. Since they are so capable and greedy for money, they will definitely feel resentful when the news is snatched away and face the unfair treatment of them by the BBC. At that time, you can try to win them over. We now have a TV station and are also short of manpower..."
"???"
Ceylon was stunned by what Allen said. When it comes to serious matters, her boss may be lacking in ability, but once it comes to these less serious things, his talent is everywhere. She just guided her on how to operate, and Allen thought that if she got the news, the department that had been following the news would definitely be resentful, and then...
As the instigator, she can then take advantage of the situation to poach these people, offering them more salary and better benefits, and there is no need to worry about whether these people will stay.
By then, the plan will go smoothly, there will be no problem with the boss's publicity, and the news department can be incorporated at the same time. Everyone will benefit, it can be said to be a win-win situation. As for those who suffer losses...
It seems like no one suffered a loss. Although the BBC lost some staff, they also got the news. They are a big company, so losing a few staff can be solved by just hiring a few more. It's not a problem at all.
"Okay boss, I've got that."
Ceylon took out a pen and made some notes in her notebook. She was not good at this kind of thing, but since Alan had told her how to do it, she could just follow his instructions.
"Well... as long as you do well this time, I will give you the reward you've always dreamed of at the end of the year or the beginning of next year."
"!!!"
When Ceylon heard what Alan said, the hand holding the pen suddenly paused. The coveted reward?
Is that it?
She looked up at Huth and Old Carl, and saw that they both smiled at her. Little Stone echoed beside her, "Congratulations in advance, Ms. Ceylon. You are about to become the first lady of the Hill family."
"Haha...thank you...it's all because of the boss' appreciation of me. It's all because of the boss' appreciation of me."
Xilan's face flushed with excitement. This kind of reward was indeed what she had always dreamed of. No matter how hard she had worked before, she was at most a well-known host, and her social status...
In Great Britain, she is not considered high-class. She can't even get a discount when she buys vegetables, and no one respects her much.
But if she gets a title in the future, then no matter where she goes, as long as others see her and know her identity, they will have to respectfully call her Dame!
She has been a host for her entire life, but she still doesn't get any respect!
This is the benefit of the title!
"Well, Ms. Ceylon has already made a very good suggestion. You two old guys, hurry up and mention it. We have to prepare for the Christmas party soon. We need to assign people to do this as soon as possible. The sooner the better."
"Master, I have an opinion!"
Old Carl is very professional at supporting the main role. Whenever Allen asks him to do so, he does it.
"explain!"
"It's like this. In terms of personal connections, if I personally come forward, it would be a bit too serious. I suggest that Patrice come forward. He has a wide network of contacts in Hollywood and knows a lot of people in this field. In the early stage, he can organize one or two small gatherings to promote the drug on a small scale. After those people realize the benefits and effects of our drug, Patrice can propose this gathering, and even... spread a little bit of news that you will be there at that time. I think this is the safest plan."
"I agree!"
As soon as old Carl finished speaking, Hutt raised his hand first, saying that he would agree as long as it could increase Allen's safety.
In this way, it changed from Allen using his own fame to inviting those people, to having old man Patrice come forward to invite them, and then old Carl to take the lead, and then finally to spread the word that Allen might attend the party.
This minimizes the risk to Allen's safety. If someone really has bad thoughts about Allen, they will be unsure about this kind of groundless news. They cannot tell others that Allen will definitely attend such a party without making any preparations.
…
"Um……"
Speaking of Patrice, Alan thought about it. He hadn't seen this old guy for a while.
"Where is Patrice now? I haven't seen him in a long time. Is he going to be so cool again?"
As the person under Allen who is most familiar with the film and television industry, Patrice comes from a legitimate background and has been active at major European film festivals for many years. He is also very successful in Hollywood, America, and often visits there.
"Uh...he is still in America. It is said that he went to meet his confidante."
Now that Lady Ceylon was present, it was not convenient for Old Karl to speak so bluntly. Patrice was old but not old at heart. He liked to go to Hollywood to show off when he had nothing to do. He often hooked up with decent women in Hollywood by relying on his status as the Earl's personal consultant...
"Well, then contact him and ask him to get back from America as soon as possible. You can arrange for him to take care of the rest when the time comes!"
Alan didn't say much about this kind of thing. Under normal circumstances, as long as it didn't interfere with his work, he didn't care what his subordinates liked to do. As a man... he understood everything.
"Okay, I understand."
…
As time approaches the beginning of October and the formal establishment of the European Union draws closer, various meetings of various departments within the European Community are becoming more frequent, all in preparation for the upcoming establishment of the European Union.
Even a scoundrel like Allen has to come to France for a few meetings.
He really couldn't refuse.
There are only a few dozen British MPs here, and each of them has been assigned a job. In the words of Boss Cha, even if they are just idling around, they have to be here in person and take up the job in person to put on a show.
It's impossible that he is skipping work while everyone else is busy here, right?
That's too fake...
So...Alan moved his resting place from Wales to Strasbourg, France.
He has booked the entire top floor of a hotel here as his permanent resting place. As for a permanent property, Alan has not bought one yet.
The European Union is about to be established, and many things are still uncertain. It is said that the current European Parliament headquarters building will be relocated, and it is not certain whether it will still be working here. In addition, the real estate here is still expensive, so there is no need to spend this money.
…
Sunday evening, October 4th.
Inside the hotel, Alan, who had just finished a shower, was lying on the bed, with someone giving him an oil massage from behind.
Yassine Rania, who had just gotten married, also came to Strasbourg. It wasn't that Alan had deliberately assigned her a task, but Prince Hussein simply doted on her. When Yassine Rania said that she wanted to do charity work, Prince Hussein agreed, so...
The first step for Yassine Rania was to show her face at the European Women's Association and make herself familiar with the place before she could do the next thing. This time Alan happened to be here, and since Yassine Rania was also here, he didn't hesitate to call his former secretary over to accompany him first.
He has been very free these days, so he has time to find out what Yasin Rania has been doing recently and whether she has had any fun.
…
"I want to introduce you to a new friend, are you interested?"
With her hands covered in essential oil, Yasin Rania rubbed her hands to warm the oil on her palms, then rubbed Alan's shoulders while talking.
"Oh? A new friend? A man or a woman?"
"Of course it's a woman!"
Yassine Rania used a little more force with her hands. Although Jordan was developed, it was not to the extent that a princess like her could easily make friends with the opposite sex. Most of the people who could be friends with her were women, and they were women of basically equal status.
"Oh? Tell me about it."
Speaking of this, Alan became interested. He has not started to make any efforts in the Middle East yet, but Alan has always been very interested in the Middle East. Whether it is the wealth or the power struggle there, it is very interesting and very attractive to him.
"This is a sister I just met recently. She is in Qatar and is also coming to France this time. We had tea together the day before yesterday and talked about you at that time. She still yearns for you. She said...she wants to make friends with you. What do you think?"
"Kata? Sister? Tell me more."
Hearing about the place Qatar and seeing Yassine Rania calling her sister, Alan became more and more interested. He seemed to have heard of this person. If it was really her, that would be interesting!
Qatar, what a great place!
