The next day, Li Dai flew to Beijing to apply for a British visa.

The visa application was very smooth this time. It can be said that it was a green light all the way. The British visa officer saw the invitation letter from Duke Gael and asked nothing, and sealed the passage without saying anything.

Among the British official institutions, hereditary nobles still enjoy certain privileges. The fixed hereditary noble seats in the House of Lords greatly protect the interests of nobles. The British Parliament is elected once every five years, and the Prime Minister is also appointed once every five years, but the number of hereditary nobles is always so large. The so-called running prime minister, the iron noble, described the British parliament as normal. Especially the veteran nobles such as Duke of Gaelic will inevitably make British civil servants three points.

After getting the visa, Li Dai booked a flight ticket to the UK and spent 15 hours arriving in Edinburgh.

The injury caused by Duke Gael's horse fall this time was not serious. Apart from a little bruising, the most important thing was that he twisted his waist. If it's a young man, just do a simple massage and then take a rest. After all, Duke Gaelic was an old man in his sixties. The so-called old age did not rely on muscles and bones. This simply twisted his waist, but made Duke Gaelic bedridden again.

But Duke Gael did not believe in other rehabilitation teachers. He only recognized Li Dai. He would rather lie in bed and suffer from lower back pain, rather than receive treatment from other rehabilitation teachers, until Li Dai arrived.

As people get older, they will always be more and more stubborn in character. Just like the old people in China who are fooled into buying health products, they are willing to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy something completely useless, regardless of how others persuade.

In that medieval castle, Duke Gael was lying on the bed, receiving a massage from Li Dai.

"My equestrian is very good. When I was young, I also participated in the Olympic trials of British equestrian athletes. Unexpectedly, one accidentally fell off the horse! Ten years ago, I did this kind of action immediately. It's easy ... "Duke Gael talked.

"Your Excellency, you have said that it was ten years ago, do n’t forget, you are now in your sixties, you are not a young guy, how can you do those fancy riding like you did when you were younger? Movement. "Li Dai paused, and then said:" And you have been in a wheelchair for a full ten years. During this decade, all parts of your body, such as muscles and bones, will inevitably degenerate, so do exercise. You should be more careful when you are. I suggest you still exercise under the guidance of a special coach. "

"It's because I have been in a wheelchair for ten years, so I can't wait to ride a horse and go out for a lap. I have wasted a decade of time, and I don't want to continue to waste time." Duke Gael said, shaking his head.

At this point, the housekeeper Thompson walked in. He bowed slightly at Duke Gael and said, "His Duke, guests from Hong Kong Island are here, waiting in the lounge."

"Oh, I have forgotten about it." Duke Gael thought for a few seconds, then said: "I don't want to see them, so I said I was unwell and pushed me. I have to get Coach Li to give me more Press for a while. "

"Okay, Lord Duke." Thompson bowed again and walked out.

Duke Gael turned his head and looked at Li Dai with the afterglow of his eyes, and then said: "Coach Li, how about having afternoon tea with me later? My chef prepared the most authentic Scottish dessert, and black tea from your country ! "

"Very honored!" Li Dai nodded with a smile.

...

In the lounge, there are four Chinese men sitting, if Li Dai is here, he will definitely be surprised, because three of them are known by him.

On the sofa on the left is a man of nearly sixty years of age, with a rather majestic look, and next to him is a middle-aged man in his forties.

These two people are Xiao Dingtian and his assistant Huang Zhicheng.

There is also a man in his sixties on the side sofa. This man wears gold-tinted glasses and his hair is shiny with oil, while next to him is a man in his early thirties.

The man in his early thirties was Chai Liang, the third generation of Chai on Hong Kong Island, and the 60-year-old man beside him was Chai Liang ’s father, Chai Zhennan, the eldest son of the Hong Kong Island Chai Boat King.

Chai Chuanwang is ninety years old. He retired more than ten years ago and gave Chai ’s business to his son. This is Chai Zhennan ’s hands, which means that Chai Zhennan is now Chai ’s actual leader. .

The four people were sitting in the lounge, drinking tea and chatting with each other. However, if there were outsiders present, they would surely be able to feel that the two sides were afraid of a disagreement between the faces and the hearts, and each was pregnant.

"Duke Gaelic was paralyzed for ten years because of a horse fall accident, and he has only recently recovered." Chai Zhennan continued: "So it is relatively time for us to come and take this opportunity to recover from him. Congratulations."

"I am more concerned about whether the Duke of Gael would be willing to stand with us on the matter of Canadian gas." Xiao Dingtian narrowed his eyes slightly and then said: "The British I remember, but all It's arrogant, this Duke of Gael, maybe he will open his mouth. "

"The fat of the Canadian Natural Gas Company is indeed valued by many people, but now the economic index of the European economy is not high, and investors are also more cautious. I think no one will have better cooperation conditions than us. Moreover, after natural gas is extracted, finding a market is also a big problem. In addition to emerging markets, it is difficult for European and American countries to digest so much natural gas. "Chai Zhennan said with a finger.

"Yeah, although it is a piece of fat, it is a long-term investment." Xiao Dingtian inadvertently raised his neck, as if he began to calculate the gains and losses.

The four people waited for a long time, but the housekeeper Thompson walked in. Thompson was wearing a pair of clean white gloves and two beautiful cartons in his hand.

"The four have been waiting for a long time." Thompson lowered his body slightly, and then said: "The Lord's body is a little unwell, so I can't come to see the four today. Your Excellency asked me to apologize to the four. Mr. came a long way. "

Thompson said, showing an apologetic expression, while Xiao Dingtian waited for four people, and the atmosphere instantly became depressed.

"In order to express my apologies to the four, His Excellency the Duke specially asked me to send some snacks to the four. Our pastry chef once served Her Majesty the Queen. He is one of the best pastry chefs in the UK. The box is freshly baked biscuits, authentic Scottish taste, please four people to accept. "Thompson said, handing the two cartons to the four people.

...

Duke Gael leaned back on the chair, supported by a cushion on his back, and pointed to the pagoda-shaped dessert plate facing him, saying, "Coach Lee, my pastry chef once served Her Majesty the Queen, but your Majesty he seemed I do n’t really like traditional biscuits of Scottish taste. "

"I think it's very delicious." Li Dai smiled, and then said: "Actually, I don't have any research on European desserts. I can't even tell the difference between British desserts and French desserts, but I think this is really delicious."

"You just like it. When you leave, I will ask the butler to pack a box for you." Duke Gael opened the tuberculosis mode again. It is rare that someone likes his afternoon tea so much. Duke Gael will continue to talk. Started to comment on the afternoon tea culture of various European countries.

Li Dai listened helplessly, his eyes inadvertently looking out the window, and just saw four people leave the castle.

"The backs of the two people seem to be familiar! It reminds me of Xiao Dingtian and his assistant Huang Zhicheng!" Li Dai thought of this and shook his head with self-deprecation: "Here is the UK, how could I meet them, I Did you get 'Father-in-law's phobia'! "

...

"Yes, after waiting for several hours, I waited for a box of biscuits!" Huang Zhicheng sat in the car, holding the box of scotch biscuits, and then said with some breath: "The Duke of Gael's shelf is also large enough The box of cookies sent us away. "

"It's two boxes of biscuits. Isn't Chai Zhennan sent by a box of biscuits?" Xiao Dingtian's expression is still very calm, and there is a reflective color in his eyes. He then said: "This incident encountered today, I also have a responsibility. It seems that I overestimated Chai ’s connections in the UK. "

"Chairman, if you say this, it really looks like this. Before the Chai had blown himself up, any English aristocracy could speak, as if the Queen of England would give them three points of thin noodles. In England, even a duke can't see it. "Huang Zhicheng said disdainfully.

"Maybe even Chai himself overestimated his existence. Speaking of that, the old ship king was indeed beautiful enough, and he was also a justice of the peace, and he was personally received by the Queen of England, and he was given a knighthood. For people of this status, the Hong Kong inspector must politely make a three-pointer when he sees him. "

Xiao Dingtian said here, then sighed and said, "It sounds like it has mixed into the British high society and entered the aristocratic circle of others, but now it seems that these British guys did not take him as themselves at all. People. Think about it, after all, it was a colony after all. Your British guy was the master, and he worked hard to show his loyalty. The British guy may not treat you as a dog! "

"Chairman, what shall we do? Duke Gael refuses to see us, can't we keep dragging on like this? Do we want to think of other ways? Or go inquire about other ways?" Huang Zhicheng asked.

"Now find another way, it's too late!" Xiao Dingtian pouted, and then said: "Chai Zhennan is certainly not guilty, he will meet Duke Gael tomorrow, let's wait."

...

"Your Excellency the Duke, yesterday's Mr. Chai, and that Mr. Xiao, they are here again today, waiting in the reception room." Thompson's standard British housekeeper was extremely low and thick.

"How come again? Didn't you make an appointment with him today?" Duke Gael continued a little annoyedly.

"It seems that Mr. Chai and Mr. Xiao are determined to have natural gas in Canada. They are unwilling to give up this big fat easily." Thompson smiled, and then said: "The father of Mr. Chai once won the Queen. The title given by His Majesty is also a very important figure on Hong Kong Island. "

"I haven't seen you without an appointment! Over the years, Her Majesty the Queen has sealed hundreds of jazz. If everybody came to see me, wouldn't you be busy! Besides, that Mr. Chai is only Sir Chai's son. It was his father. Coming, I wo n’t see it if I do n’t want to see it! ”Duke Gail shook his head indifferently:“ As for Canada ’s natural gas, I do n’t lack money. I ’ve been lying in a wheelchair for ten years. I do n’t want to see it again. Let ’s waste time on making money. I want to enjoy my life. See me off! ”

"Okay, Lord Duke." Thompson nodded.

"By the way, should Coach Lee come?" Duke Gael asked.

Thompson looked at his watch: "An hour ago, the driver had already set off to pick up coach Li at the hotel. If it was time, it would be coming soon."

"Then let the chef prepare some more afternoon tea." Duke Gael continued: "I had a good conversation with Coach Li yesterday."

Thompson chuckled, nodded, and did not answer. He knew what his virtue was, the Duke of the Mouth Cannon. Yesterday afternoon, instead of talking with Li Dai, it was better to say that Duke Gael was talking there alone. stop.

...

"Mr. Chai and Mr. Xiao, I'm very sorry. Your Excellency Duke's schedule is quite full today. He will have VIPs to see immediately, so please go back first." Thompson put on a sorry look and personally Four people including Chai Zhennan and Xiao Dingtian were delivered to the door.

Xiao Dingtian has not eaten such a closed door soup for a long time, at least in domestic shopping malls, no one dared to add such a closed door soup to Xiao Ding.

But here is Britain, but it is not Xiao Dingtian's own territory. The identity of the Duke of Gael is second only to the royal family in Britain. If the top of this hereditary aristocracy is to slap it, other people really take him for granted.

In terms of assets, the Duke of Gaelic is worth more than a few billion pounds, although it is no better than Xiao. Moreover, most of the property of these British nobles existed in the form of fixed assets, such as land, houses, precious metals, artworks, etc., all of which basically appreciated steadily.

In contrast, Xiao Tingtian ’s entrepreneur ’s assets mainly come from holding shares in his own company. The company ’s stock price rises, and he may become the richest man in the blink of an eye. If the stock falls, the assets will be dozens of times. Shrink a hundred times. Therefore, no one can see the face of anyone, maybe the Duke of Gael, who has less money, has a greater sense of superiority.

Xiao Dingtian is also able to bend and stretch. Although he was very unhappy in the door ~ lightnovelpub.net ~, on the surface, it still remained the original calm state, as if he had not suffered the slightest frustration.

Butler Thompson accompanied them out of the castle and into the parking lot in front of the castle. At this time, a Rolls-Royce also drove from a distance. It was the butler who sent the hotel to pick up Li Dai's car.

When Thompson saw the Rolls-Royce, he immediately had a professional smile on his face.

"This is the VIP called by the steward? The Duke of Gael is about to see him in ten or nine." Chai Liang whispered in Chinese in the back.

Chai Zhennan and Xiao Dingtian couldn't help but look at this Rolls-Royce, and they also wanted to see who the "guests" like Duke Gaelic were.

Finally, Rolls-Royce stopped and Thompson stepped forward to open the door and said enthusiastically: "Coach Li, you are finally here! Your Excellency has been waiting for you!"

"Coach Li?" Huang Zhizhong repeated this title involuntarily, and Xiao Dingtian frowned slightly. For these two, the term "Coach Li" does have some different meanings.

At the next moment, Li Dai came down from the car.

At this moment, Huang Zhicheng's expression was like a cute owl on the tree.

And Xiao Dingtian, the ecstatic and incomprehensible gangster, was also in a cry of laughter.

Only Chai Liang could not help but exclaimed: "Li Dai! Why are you here?"

Chai Liang's voice also attracted Li Dai's attention. The first thing he saw was not Chai Liang, but Xiao Dingtian.

"Why is Yu Nan's father here? He came to the UK in order to break up the two of us! My future father-in-law is too cruel!" Li Dai thought in a mess.
