"Come here!"

When Alan followed the servant who led the way, he saw Charles again.

It's in the smoking room.

Although it is called a smoking room, the overall layout is more like a small reception room, which appears to be about 70 to 80 square meters. There are several large sofas and a few cigar cabinets around it for storing cigars.

Charles usually likes to smoke cigars, but at this moment, there are already three cigarette butts extinguished in the ashtray in front of him.

When he chooses to smoke instead of a cigar, it often means that his highness is not in a very good mood.

Allen walked to Charles' sofa with his head held high, without even bowing, and looked at Charles with a confused look in his eyes, "Your Highness, what do you want me to do?"

"Did you know that public opinion would be bad and planned to travel to Hong Kong in advance?"

Charles felt a little upset when he thought of what Allen said to him, and what the Queen said to him after she actually watched the movie and at the Queen's birthday party yesterday.

The instigator of all this was the Earl of Carmarthen in front of him.

"Your Highness, I am wronged. I did not go to Hong Kong just for tourism..."

"Then this movie is what you said, a movie made to give voice to middle-aged and elderly women! You..."

Charles lit another cigarette irritably, took a deep puff, exhaled the smoke, and then pointed casually, asking Alan to sit down.

"What you call boosting economic development is to let those women go to Gambia after watching the movie! Whose economic development are you boosting?!"

Charles changed his excuse and continued to target Allen.

"this……"

Most of them go to Gambia by boat, right? The shipping company is probably British, right? Isn't this also economic development?

And the loans, and the little hunting lodge that had been given to Charles.

Alan thought about it and felt that these words had no persuasive power, so he simply gave up on arguing. He had already done the job anyway, so he could just endure a few rounds of quarrels.

"I listened to your lies, I..."

Charles looked at Allen in silence and was about to say that he almost lost face in front of the Queen, but when the words came to his lips, he held them back, thinking that family disgrace should not be made public.

"I heard that you live a very carefree life in Hong Kong, living in a villa you occupied, hugging beautiful women, and spending the whole day either sightseeing or staying at home. If I don't ask you to come back, are you going to not come back?"

"Your Highness... that wasn't usurpation, he gave it to me on his own initiative!"

Alan still wanted to struggle to explain this point.

"Huh? Then why didn't he give it to me?"

"this……"

You're being unreasonable, aren't you?

Just Li Jiacheng?

Even if he wanted to send you there, he has no way to do it.

Alan felt that Charles was full of resentment now, and the key point was that he didn't know what he had done to offend him. But as the boss, he couldn't have such a bad memory. The credentials of his personal assistant were given by Charles.

"Your Highness, I am going to Hong Kong this time, really... I am bringing a project with me. This time it is really about economic development!"

Charles leaned back on the sofa, just looked at Alan, raised his chin towards him, and motioned Alan to continue making up stories.

For the same reason, Alan said the same thing at the party before Christmas last year.

"Really! Your Highness, you have to believe me. I have made a real estate plan and plan to build a villa complex in the Carmarthen area. When the funds are in place, it will not only bring many employment opportunities to the local area, but also involve the purchase of various construction materials. After the project is completed, it will also attract many wealthy people and increase local tax revenue. This time when I went to Hong Kong, I also improved this project by the way. If you don't believe me, you can ask Wei Dewei. When he received me, he knew about my plan."

…

Charles, who had almost no feelings for Wales, had no interest in creating any jobs there. As for taxes, he didn't care either, as they would not reach him anyway.

"Are you not going to make your movie anymore? If you don't want to make movies, go study. I'll arrange a school for you!"

After thinking about it, regardless of whether this so-called real estate plan was true or not, Charles still felt that it would be a better choice to send Allen to school.

This guy always takes advantage of him unexpectedly, and he can't stand it anymore.

Loyalty is loyalty, but there are also many things to do.

Just like this... some time ago, she even wrote him a letter crying and complaining that she was running out of food and had to rely on the housekeeper to hunt rabbits for her to survive, and now, she's living a carefree life in Hong Kong. People like her should be sent to school and properly disciplined.

…

"I'm taking pictures! Just now the princess encouraged me to keep working hard and not forget my original intention."

“…”

When Charles heard this, he got a little carried away. He glanced at the door, sat up, glared at Alan and whispered, "Don't make this kind of movie anymore! The impact of public opinion is too great. Can you please let me have some peace of mind?"

Charles couldn't explain this directly, but the general idea was that it was a matter of stance.

It's natural for a man to cheat, but...

It's not good for a woman to cheat.

Although this is very hypocritical, it is fucked up that Allen filmed this kind of thing and it actually had a certain encouraging effect.

He couldn't just tell Allen not to make a movie with such a seductive theme.

Watching too many movies of this kind can easily cause anxiety among the public.

Young people, just make a movie, earn a little money, and play with celebrities, why do you have to make such a big impact?

"Then I...I understand. I will pay attention."

Alan remembered the news about the divorce rate skyrocketing in a short period of time and understood what Charles meant.

At worst, we can just make a movie with a foreign background.

It's not that he has nothing to do, but instead of enjoying his good life, he has to make movies.

But in this world, among all the industries that he can currently access and that he knows how to do, is there any other industry that is easier to launder money than the film industry?

No more!

Other things like casinos and happy houses are much more risky than making movies!

Some of Allen's income must be laundered slowly by himself. It is theoretically possible to hand it over to other professional money laundering agencies, but the fees are expensive.

He can wash it himself, why should he rely on others? Too many outsiders involved in the process will only increase the risks to himself.

…

Charles extinguished a cigarette butt again, rubbed his temple and said, "Before your shitty real estate plan starts, show me the plan. Okay, you can leave now!"

"???"

Alan's eyes widened. He came all the way here, got scolded, and wasn't even given dinner?

Just chase them away after the quarrel.

"What are you looking at? Today is a family dinner, there's no place for you!"

"I understand, Your Highness. I'll take my leave now."

…

Charles breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Alan salute and slowly walk out of the smoking room door. In his eyes, Alan was still young and rather naughty, and he was also his close minister. He was the only child left in the Hill family, and he felt it was not right if he did not take better care of him.
