"Housewarming party!"
Alan raised his eyebrows and said, "They should have such a habit. When they move into a new house, they can hold a party and invite friends to celebrate and eat together."
"Hmm? It turns out that you also understand Chinese culture."
"I know a little bit. I prefer Chinese food."
"oh?"
Wei Yixin seemed to have discovered a new world and blurted out: "I thought you would like French food more."
…
The maid pushed the dining cart and started serving the food.
When banquets are held in Europe or daily dining gatherings of the aristocracy are held, French and Italian cuisine are the mainstream, and now and then Japanese food is added in.
but……
To be honest, the social attributes of French cuisine far outweigh its culinary essence.
Alan looked at the plate in front of him. On the exquisite plate, which was the size of a pot lid, there was only a small piece of food in the middle.
In addition to the large areas of so-called blank space, the plate is also decorated with artistic latte art patterns made with sauce.
It looks good, but it does look quite pretentious.
"This thing...how many plates do you think I need to eat in one meal to feel full?"
Alan pointed at the plate and asked David Wilson.
…
"???"
Wei Yixin looked at Allen's size, then looked at the food on the plate, and seemed to have discovered a blind spot.
He regards the banquet as a social event, but the gentleman in front of him doesn't care about such things. People eat French food really for the food!
Judging from this, given the size of this gentleman, he would not be full even if he eats ten or eight plates of food!
…
Picking up the fork, Alan looked at the small dessert on the plate in front of him, which was smaller than an egg. He didn't care about Wei Yixin's gaze at all. He picked it up with the fork and swallowed it in one gulp. He smacked his lips. It tasted slightly sweet and sour, quite appetizing. Otherwise, he didn't feel anything...
"When I was serving on the ship, I didn't have time to eat so slowly. After I came back, I had to eat more than a dozen plates of food and still couldn't be full. If I ate too much, it would be very rude, but if I didn't eat, I would be hungry..."
Alan shrugged half-jokingly.
"Hahaha! Your Excellency is truly a man of character. You are very different from those traditional nobles I have heard of. Actually, I don't really like French food. It's too troublesome. I have so much work to do every day that I don't have the time to wait for them to serve the dishes."
Alan's small joke instantly brought the two closer together. Wei Yixin felt that the earl in front of him, although young, was very generous and particular about his work. Not only did he come to support him, but he also did not forget his share of the benefits. Now, he even exposed his own shortcomings. It was very rude. Under normal circumstances, which noble would dare to say such a disrespectful thing so openly.
This made Wei Yixin feel that the gentleman in front of him was very down-to-earth and easy-going, which meant he was easy to get along with. He became more confident about the financial prospects of their cooperation!
…
"Once you find my place to live, bring a few people who are close to you, preferably a few troublemakers, to my housewarming party in a private capacity. I will then help you solve your problem first."
"Thank you very much, sir! I am sorry for your trouble!"
When Wei Yixin heard this, he was deeply moved. Alan was not in a hurry to do his own thing, but stood up for him first. From this point of view, the other party was indeed very particular about doing things. It turned out that this was the traditional aristocracy... The way of doing things was really grand!
"Don't worry. When you introduce me, you can tell them who I am and that I am His Highness' personal assistant. You can also quietly reveal it. As for why I am here, you can tell the truth and say that I am here to relax and travel. I have no official business and no rights."
Alan had a smile on his face, his eyes met Wei Yixin's. He grabbed the wine glass next to him, glanced at the champagne in the glass, and clinked glasses with Wei Yixin.
"I understand! Hahahaha, don't worry, sir. I know what to do!"
Wei Yixin put down his wine glass and wiped his mouth with a napkin. He already understood what Allen had done.
These Hong Kong people seem to be very powerful, with money and assets, but many of them know very little about what’s going on inside Britain!
One is limited by distance, and the other is...
Britain did not treat them as normal citizens at all. This was something everyone understood, but only those people were still immersed in their own fantasies.
and……
In the second half of last year, the Queen visited China in person and went to the Terracotta Warriors tunnel to get close to the warriors.
It has only been a short time since he took office as the new Governor of Hong Kong, and now it is revealed that an Earl has come to Hong Kong in person, and he is the personal assistant of the Crown Prince.
Who would believe a person like this who said he came to Hong Kong just for fun?
Even if Allen is telling the truth, the people of Hong Kong will definitely not believe it!
They would guess, would be curious, would take the opportunity of meeting Alan at the party to come visit again.
This kind of opportunity to climb up the social ladder doesn’t come often!
In this way, if there are some things that Wei Yixin cannot handle, he can use Allen to help him resolve them.
Look… He had just taken office, and His Highness sent an earl to support him.
The scene at this moment was just like the scene in an old movie from Allen's world, where the old eunuch in the palace, holding the imperial yellow jacket, supported Chang Wei.
It doesn’t matter whether Your Highness has this intention or not. The fact now is that it will lead to misunderstanding, and that’s enough!
As for Allen, he can just lie back and wait for the fat sheep to come to him!
The two cooperated with each other.
The whole plan saves a lot of effort and worry, and it all depends on acting skills!
…
"Mr. Allen, I'd like to toast you and wish you a pleasant trip to Hong Kong in advance." Wei Yixin raised his glass happily again.
"Haha, how can you say that? It should be for the prosperity of the empire!"
Alan raised his glass, raised his brow, and began to chant slogans.
"Yes, yes, yes! For the prosperity of the empire!"
"Hahaha……"
…
After a very pleasant dinner, Alan returned to his room and leaned back on the bed.
Flipping through the file book in my hand, I looked at the horrific file of the 1986 Miss Hong Kong.
What kind of monsters are those at the top? Smoky makeup is quite popular these days, making the already ugly image even more terrifying!
Especially when she put on that terrible red lipstick, the bloody mouth of the 1986 Miss Hong Kong champion gave Alan goose bumps all over his arms.
Leaving aside the list of Miss Hong Kong contestants, he flipped through several other thin file books, which contained only some actresses with little fame.
But when Alan looked at the list as a whole, except for a few familiar people, the ones who had left a deep impression on him before did not seem to appear in the roster. He wondered if there was any hidden story or if they had not yet made their debut.
I picked and chose until I picked up the last booklet. The name on the cover was the Second Miss Asia.
"oh?"
Opening the booklet, the champion was a person who looked very familiar to Allen, but he couldn't remember her name for a while. It seemed that she retired from the circle later?
I didn’t expect that he only officially debuted last year?
Although she is a little older, already 25 or 26 years old, she reached the peak as soon as she debuted and won the Miss Asia title right away!
This woman had a ravine in her chest, and Alan was instantly attracted to her. It wasn't that he was ignorant, but that her chest was really white...
It’s very big. This pair must weigh at least half a pound, right?
She has a great figure, this is the one!
