Chapter 588 Mother and Son



There are less than two million Chinese people in Canada today, making them a true minority.

Wu Bingzhi's father was a Hakka with British citizenship. His ancestral home was in Dongguan. He was captured during World War II and was later exchanged for prisoners of war. Later, he and his family immigrated to Canada from Hong Kong as refugees.

Seeing that Allen was obviously interested in this person's information, Cameron was a little surprised. He sorted the candidates he had chosen according to what he thought was their weight, putting the most important ones at the front.

From this order, it can be seen that although he also picked Wu Bingzhi, he put her last, which was somewhat contemptuous and discriminatory.

"Boss, this person...has a special identity."

"What's the special method?"

Alan was a little puzzled. Chinese people are generally very disadvantaged in Canada. How special can such a group be?

"This... this Wu Bingzhi is quite talented. Um... She used to be a gold medal host of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. She had a gold medal program that she hosted for decades. Many Canadians have a deep impression of her."

"oh?"

Alan looked at the photo on the profile again.

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation can be regarded as the largest state-owned media company in Canada. Its status... is comparable to that of the BBC in the United Kingdom. She has been hosting programs there for more than ten years without any real skills!

And being able to become a gold medal host, at least there is one thing that she doesn't have to worry about, her mass base or popularity among the public is definitely good, otherwise even Cameron wouldn't have introduced her like this.

"The reason why I chose her is that she officially entered politics about ten years ago, in the early 1980s. Her family is very strange. Men don't like to get involved in these things, but women do. Her sister-in-law is also a member of parliament."

"oh?!"

Alan blinked, becoming even more curious about this person.

"So now she is..."

"She changed her career a few years ago and directed and wrote many movies and TV shows, but the results were not very good. We have met several times. She is the kind of... ah... a strong supporter of the women's movement, you know? So her movies... the core is sometimes quite radical."

"!!!"

After hearing Cameron's introduction, Allen's eyes brightened. Women's boxing?

This is good!

Those who can play with these things are either at the lowest level or at the highest level.

And this Wu Bingzhi looks like the latter!

What does this mean?

It means this woman is ambitious!

Alan is afraid of choosing someone who has no ambition. It's good to have ambition. Only with ambition will she try her best to climb up and use any means to climb up!

Female politicians are born with advantages.

In addition, she was born in a British colony. This series of identities made Allen like her the most!

If she is trained well and pushed to the position of future Governor General of Canada, as long as she works hard, Ellen will be able to enjoy great conveniences in Canada for at least ten years!

ten years!

If he fishes well, not only can he get back his money with interest, but he can even... eat a lot!

“Good job!”

Allen flipped through the information again, picked up a pen and marked the information of the other two white men and Wu Bingzhi, then closed the information and handed it to Cameron, saying, "Of the three people I picked out, you should focus on getting in touch with them, especially Wu Bingzhi. Aren't you a filmmaker? See if she has time to come to your crew to study, and bring her along!"

"Boss, what do you mean..."

"Haha, I'm also very knowledgeable about women's boxing. If she is still interested in developing in this area, I can invest in her. You can convey my intention to her."

"clear!"

Cameron understood what Allen meant. He would feed her first, pull her on board, and then... win her over slowly. There would still be several years before the appointment of the new governor, so there was still time!

Buckingham Palace, around 6pm.

In a small tea room near the Queen's office, the Queen, who had been busy all day, took off her glasses, glanced at the two little corgis playing on the carpet next to her, and smiled.

There was an audible sound of an electric bell, and the queen pressed the switch on the table, and the small door of the tea room opened.

When she is tired from work, she likes to come to this tea room. The layout inside is according to her preferences. It has a home style, very simple and warm.

"Mother!"

Boss Cha took off his hat, bowed and saluted with a very respectful attitude.

"Sit down, what have you been busy with these days?"

When Boss Cha heard the permission, he didn't rush to sit down.

As Christmas approaches, his schedule becomes extremely busy, and he has to attend events everywhere, sometimes more than a dozen times a day!

For some unknown reason, the Queen's secretary suddenly contacted him today and said... the Queen wanted to summon him.

Although they are mother and son, since a few years ago, the contact between them has been maintained mostly through letters, except for royal dinners during festivals!

Such an active summons to the meeting might not happen once every few years.

Therefore, Boss Cha said with some guilt at this time: "I have been busy doing charity work these days. It is the end of the year and there are some charity events that require my attendance."

"You're going to Wales to see the show tomorrow?"

The queen nodded and suddenly changed the subject.

"Oh yes, Alan invited me a long time ago. He plans to hold a Christmas party every year in the future."

"Well, I watched the replay of last year's party, and it was very well done."

The Queen mentioned it inconspicuously, and then said, "You were assassinated in Australia at the beginning of the year. Are you blaming me for not agreeing to his request to restore the guard? You gave him the Knights. Are you resenting me?"

"???"

Boss Cha was about to sit down when he stood up again and said, "No...it's just that sometimes, I..."

"Don't want to break your promise? Humph, do you know what he has done recently in the name of the Knights?"

Boss Cha slowly lowered his head. How could he not know?

But...as an old father, although he is divorced from Diana, it does not mean that he does not like William and Harry. After all, they are his own sons!

When someone's son is used as a gun and all the dirty laundry is dug up and reported, as an old father, he will not be in a good mood.

In this case, what does he care about?

There are some things that are not convenient for him to do. Although it is convenient for Alan to come forward, Alan is heavy-handed. Boss Cha had some complaints about this before, but this time... he pretended not to see it and had no opinion at all!

But now, he thought that the Queen wanted to blame him for this matter, and for a moment... Boss Cha was a little panicked.

"Sometimes, if you remain silent and do nothing, others will think that you condone his behavior. After all... he is your nominal captain of the guard."

The Queen gave a meaningful look to Boss Cha, who was looking down at the carpet. However, she did not pursue the matter. Instead, she sighed and said, "I know Alan. He is still young and has a bad temper. When he killed Andrew, the Queen Mother was quite critical of him. After all, Andrew was once my attendant..."

Speaking of the unlucky Andrew who was blocked by Allen at the doorstep for a duel and finally died by the sword, the Queen felt a little unhappy, but this was all old news. She also knew that it was Allen's way of suppressing Karami. He brought it up today just to use this incident to remind Boss Cha.

"He is so young, and you are giving him so much power now. If this continues for a long time..."

"Mom, isn't Alan trustworthy? He's the only one left in their family, and he's William and Harry's cousin!"

Boss Cha raised his head stubbornly, looked into the queen's eyes and retorted.

"!"

The queen narrowed her eyes. She understood what Boss Cha meant. She knew best why Allen was the only one left in his family. This... was indeed impossible to refute.

The mother and son looked at each other. The queen was silent for a long time and changed the subject: "You are the monarch and he is your subject. You have to distinguish some things clearly and don't act on impulse."

"I know, mom."

"So how are you going to end this matter? The matter between him and Major has been going on for long enough. I don't want them to continue to quarrel next year. Occasional small fights are good for some things, but long-term smearing each other, look at the newspapers and media these days, they have become a battlefield for them to expose each other, what a scene!"

“…”

To be honest, after hearing what the Queen said, Boss Cha didn't know how to end it. This thing is like a dog fight. Once it starts, the two dogs will have to fight to the death, and it will end with one of them dying completely. Although one of Alan and Major doesn't necessarily have to die now, but... it is impossible to separate the two in a short period of time, unless the owner behind him personally takes action.

Thinking of this, Boss Cha looked at the queen again.

“Bang!”

The Queen picked up a small box on the table next to her and said, "When you attend the party tomorrow, bring this to Alan. This should have belonged to him. Hehe... Now he is under house arrest and cannot come to London, so you can give him the honor in person."

Boss Cha walked to the desk, picked up the small box, and looked at the things in the box speechlessly.

This is a medal - the Royal Victorian Order.

From the name it may not sound as impressive as the Order of the British Empire, but this thing is actually very rare and its rank is much higher than the Order of the British Empire.

The main reason for its rarity is that ordinary people have no way to get it.

Whether it is the Order of the Bath or the Order of St Michael, although they are high-level, ordinary people, whether they are officers or civil servants, still have a little hope if they work hard. However, the Royal Victorian Order is only awarded to those who serve the royal family!

In other words, this thing is only awarded to eunuchs, and whether a person can get this medal in his lifetime is determined from birth.

He must be from Britain, must be of noble birth, and must be a eunuch!

Several conditions are essential!

This medal has such stringent conditions and its purpose is very obvious, which is to reward eunuchs who have made outstanding contributions to the royal family.

What are Allen's outstanding contributions?

He has led teams to participate in the Olympics, the World Cup, and the Commonwealth Games, and achieved good results. He has made outstanding contributions in the field of sports events and brought glory to Britain and the royal family. Although if we look into it more deeply, we may find that he is just gilded, but... that's fate!

Moreover, the Queen can completely delay issuing medals during this period until next year!

But she sent it now, and she still wanted to find out that the boss brought it to Alan in Wales, which meant...

Allen was still fighting with Major, and the Queen suddenly gave Allen a medal of the highest honor for a chamberlain. What does this mean?

Don't be too obvious in taking sides.

Boss Cha lowered his mouth, put away the medal box and stuffed it into his pocket, saying, "I know!"

Looking at Boss Cha's expression, the queen finally smiled again and said, "He is your little knife. If you use him well, he can do many things for you that you cannot do. He did a good job this time, but... I gave him a reward, but the punishment must not be less."

“…”

Boss Cha suddenly felt the medal box in his pocket was a little hot.

"I grounded him to let him reflect on his mistakes at home. He just does violence all day long. What era is it? Why is he still fighting and killing? Why doesn't he study hard at the military academy and mess around with Major? Why do the nobles interfere in politics and ignore the rules? Since he has time to mess around with Major, it means he hasn't fully realized his mistakes. The grounding period will be extended for another year. By the way, did you acquiesce to him sneaking out under the pretext of a business trip?"

“…”

The boss is so confused, how can he say something so clearly?

Isn't this what you mean by punishment? Are you really going to let him stay at home for a year?

"I will notify the Secretariat to send someone to monitor him. He can go on business trips in the future, but only once a month, and each trip is only three days. Two days are used for travel, and one day is used for meetings. What do you think?"

"Mom, whatever you think is okay."

Boss Cha answered honestly and did not dare to refute.

"Let him write a letter of apology and send it to me every month. I will see if his character will change!"

“…”

Boss Cha was a little overwhelmed. He could already imagine how "happy" Alan would be when he knew the news tomorrow. He was sure that Alan would like this Christmas gift from the Queen very much, right?

"Okay, go back early. It's been a busy year. Take care of yourself."

The queen looked at the wrinkles on Boss Cha's forehead and expressed her concern in a subtle way.

"Yes, I'm leaving then, mom."

Boss Cha bowed again.

The queen stared at him without answering, just nodded slightly.

Afternoon of December 23, 1994.

The second Christmas Gala was held as scheduled on Welsh TV.

It’s still the same routine as previous years, and still on a grand scale. This year’s scale is even bigger than last year, and there are even more guests this year.

Before the party started, a small ceremony was held temporarily. In the presence of all the guests, Boss Cha solemnly awarded Alan the Royal Victorian Medal on the stage, and it was the most prestigious Grand Cross Knight Medal in this medal series.

"Wow, wow, wow..." The entire evening party was filled with thunderous applause, and everyone present applauded.

Some people even had flickering eyes. This thing... I haven't seen it in many years. At this juncture, Christmas is almost here, why would the Queen bestow such a medal?

Some people have thought of the recent fight between Allen and Major.

It's even more interesting with this medal.

This thing... For example, two ministers in the court are fighting secretly, and suddenly... one of them is favored by the emperor and awarded an imperial yellow jacket. How can they deal with this?

I believe that if the gala was broadcast tomorrow, this awarding of honors would definitely make Prime Minister Major very happy and touched!
