Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 1002: Paving the way and understanding what you want to do

People like Thatcher and Philips also felt uneasy when they thought about the execution and action capabilities of Chu Xiangqian's subordinates.

If the target is aimed at me, can I avoid Chu Xiangqian's assassination?

Just thinking about it made people like Saqier shudder.

Fortunately, when I thought about the relationship between Chu Xiangqian and Margaret, and the fact that they had a child, I felt a little relieved.

Royal family members such as Philip and Mountbatten even felt that the more powerful Chu Xiangqian was, the more beneficial it would be for the royal family.

As for the bigwigs in Downing Street, although they are worried, it does not stop them from taking the credit for this operation.

The excuse for the action was, naturally, revenge against the Republican Army.

Thatcher's approval rating surged in a short period of time.

Naturally, Chu Xiangqian’s secret would not be revealed.

The attitude towards Chu Xiangqian also changed from worry to trying to win him over and show goodwill.

At least in this operation, Chu Xiangqian stood on Yinggua's side, and they can continue to cooperate in the future.

In the minds of Thatcher and Conservative Party leaders, the importance of Kingdom Holdings also increased sharply.

In particular, Thatcher herself said that when Jingxing was 16 years old, she would introduce him to the Conservative Party.

Chu Xiangqian thought to himself that even if Thatcher was forced to step down ten years later, she had been the first in office for three terms, and the connections she had in the government would be enough to make Jingxing's career easier.

With the financial and investment support of his biological father, Jingxing might be able to run for the first place when he is 40 years old.

However, the fact that this kid has a noble title is also a problem.

Since the 1920s and 1930s, members of the House of Commons have had to be non-aristocrats.

Many nobles had to give up their titles in order to run for parliament.

Fortunately, Chu Xiangqian remembered that in the future someone with a blood relationship with the royal family would still be able to successfully enter Downing Street.

In this way, Jingxing’s problem is no longer a problem.

If that doesn't work, then give up the noble title.

When he stepped down from the position of the first, like many other abdicated firsts, he was awarded a lifetime knighthood and got back the benefits that aristocrats should have.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but call Jingxing back from the front courtyard.

During this period, this kid hung out with Jingqi from the second son's family and Jingye from the third son's family all day long.

He even disliked Margaret's nagging, so he simply lived in the Qianmen courtyard with his two cousins ​​and the three children of Sha Zhu's family.

Not only is it free, but it is also just a few steps away from the private restaurants in Dazhalan, where you can have all three meals a day.

Life is so carefree and comfortable.

However, Jingye and Jingqi still had to go to school, so they didn’t know who introduced them, but they became familiar with Han Chunmin again.

During the day, he either played around the city or went house hunting with Han Chunmin.

He actually got his hands on some good stuff.

Although Jingxing is not short of money, he is still very interested in making money from his father.

In fact, Chu Xiangqian also knew that Jing Xing was being filial to his father.

As for the antiques received, they are taken abroad and sold.

Chu Xiangqian had told him a long time ago that he had been buying Chinese antiques from Yinggua for many years just to bring them back to China.

This kid has always remembered these words, so even though he knew that the items were being taken abroad, they were only auctioned in Hong Kong Island.

The income can be multiplied several times or even dozens of times.

Jingxing never thought of doing this.

Of course, he also remembered what his father had said: if antiques from China were kept for twenty or thirty years, their appreciation potential would definitely be greater than that of real estate.

If you are not short of money, collecting antiques is actually a way to preserve and increase wealth.

So this kid has really become fascinated with this line of work recently.

He often brought good cigarettes, alcohol, and delicious food from home and followed Han Chunmin to find Old Man Guan.

When Old Man Guan heard that this boy was Chu Xiangqian's son, he thought to himself that Chu Xiangqian was really amazing.

More than a decade ago, when the situation was at its worst, he actually had the audacity to have an affair with a foreign woman and even had a mixed-race son.

After meeting Jing Xing twice, he found that he was much better than Han Chunmin in terms of knowledge and brains.

His attitude towards Jingxing could not help but become enthusiastic.

Unfortunately, although Old Man Guan wanted to accept a disciple, he immediately lost interest after learning that Gong Changqing was Jing Xing's master's master.

In the 1960s, Gong Changqing was already considered a big collector and buyer in the small antique circle in Beijing.

And because it can get scarce items such as meat, food, alcohol and foreign exchange.

When many collectors want to sell their treasures, they will basically ask Old Man Gong to take a look.

Needless to say, as long as the product is genuine and good, the price will be absolutely fair.

More importantly, Old Man Gong can really get a lot of food.

The three difficult years did help many old people and young people get through that difficult time.

Although Old Man Guan’s surname is Guan, he is actually a Manchu.

In my heart, I felt both admiration and gratitude towards Gong Changqing.

Therefore, in the eyes of old man Guan, since Jingxing has Gong Changqing as his master, there is no need for him to teach him.

As for his ability in antique appraisal, Old Man Gong was able to be in charge of the antique consignment counter in a consignment store, so there is no doubt about his ability.

However, Jingxing's relationship with Old Man Gong is far less close than that of Jingrong and Jingshun.

After all, we have little contact, so naturally there is not much affection.

So Jing Xing prefers to interact with Old Man Guan.

After this kid received a call from his father, he hurried back to his home in Shichahai on a Yamaha TX50 motorcycle, which was very fashionable in that era.

The father and son talked in whispers for the whole afternoon.

Chu Xiangqian finally confirmed that this kid was not only not opposed to the path of a career in politics, but was more interested in it than doing business.

To put it bluntly, he has never lacked money since childhood, and even his pocket money is several times or even dozens of times more than what the average aristocrat earns in a year.

The family fund's annual dividends are calculated in millions of pounds.

Money is easy for Jingxing to get, and making money has long ceased to arouse his interest.

She was also influenced by her biological mother Margaret and her aunt Elizabeth.

Jingxing knew from a young age that power, compared to wealth, is the real cornerstone of a family's prosperity for generations.

I didn't discuss these ideas with Chu Xiangqian, but this kid himself was not sure what he wanted to do in the future.

Now that his father had officially discussed the future with him, Jing Xing had finally determined his own path.

What Jingxing didn't expect was that his father actually asked him to go to Hong Kong Island to be an intern with his uncle Bu Huaquan.

After Bu Huaquan received Chu Xiangqian's call, he understood what his brother-in-law Chu Xiangqian meant after a quick thought.

At that time, I always believed that I was a citizen under the rule of Daying, and naturally I was a Ying citizen.

It was just an ordinary trip back to Yinggua, and when I was passing through customs, an immigration officer made it clear to me.

In their eyes, I am a Hong Kong Islander, but I am just a second-class person in the Yingguo Colony. If I really want to argue, I don’t even have a nationality.

From then on, Bu Huaquan realized that no matter how hard he tried, the foreigners never treated him as one of their own.

In the eyes of Chinese people, I am also a bastard.

Bu Huaquan was confused for a long time at that time.

Fortunately, my brother-in-law didn't look down on me.

I also persuaded myself that since I was born and raised in Hong Kong Island, and my family and relatives are also Chinese, then I am Chinese.

So when Bu Huaquan heard Chu Xiangqian asked Jingxing to be an intern by his side, he immediately understood what Chu Xiangqian meant.

Jingxing is also a mixed-race, although his birth is indeed noble.

But Bu Huaquan knew very well that his brother-in-law was using him as a living example to tell and teach Jingxing not to forget his Chinese identity.

Thinking of this, Bu Huaquan suddenly felt that teaching Jing Xing was not only meaningful, but might also be the greatest opportunity and achievement in his life.

Margaret didn't have much objection to Chu Xiangqian's decision.

The girl mistakenly thought that Chu Xiangqian was worried that London was not safe for the time being.

Perhaps the Irish Republican Army, seeing Ying Gua's revenge, caused so many casualties on their side.

It will inevitably lead to greater counter-retaliation.

At that time, not only would he be in danger, but Jing Xing might also become a target of attack.

So even if Chu Xiangqian didn't make any arrangements, Margaret didn't want to take Jingxing back to London for the time being.

At worst, I can go to a ranch in Los Angeles and stay there for a year or two.

As for going to Hong Kong Island, Margaret always remembered the agreement she made with Xue Jinglan.

We had agreed that I would not go to Hong Kong Island and Xue Jinglan would not go to London, and we must abide by it.

So as to avoid troubles in the future due to family property.

And recently, I have been living with Xue Jinglan.

The other sisters were all in Hong Kong Island, and given Chu Xiangqian's personality, she would naturally drag Xue Jinglan and Margaret to play the game together.

With the friendship of fighting against Chu Xiangqian together, the relationship between the two women is indeed closer than before.

Of course, the most important thing is that both of them knew that they could not handle Chu Xiangqian, that wild bull, by themselves.

In order to avoid feeling weak and powerless the next day, we had to join forces.

Chu Xiangqian only used a little trick to successfully make Xue Jinglan and Margaret form a team.

Over the years, the two women have also cooperated with other sisters to deal with Chu Xiangqian.

Therefore, I have little resistance to forming a team.

After Jingxing went to Hong Kong Island, he simply lived in Buhuaquan and Aiyuan's house.

The couple also welcomed their nephew very much.

Bu Jingli and Bu Jingwang, brother and sister, were somewhat unfamiliar with their cousin Jingxing.

However, in just a few days, the two little guys became Jingxing's followers.
-
What no one knew was that Chu Xiangqian, the father, actually quietly returned to Hong Kong Island the day after Jingxing went there.

Moved into a big mansion in Kowloon Tong.

Lou Xiao'e has been pregnant for more than 8 months. If I don't come to accompany her, this woman might hate me in the future.

So when Chu Xiangqian heard that Lou Xiao'e had been in a bad mood for the past half month, he could only make an excuse and told Xue Jinglan and Margaret that there was a minor problem with the Arabian horse business.

If it were any other business, the two women would definitely ask what happened.

But when it comes to matters concerning the horses, not only Xue Jinglan and Margaret, but other women as well would not ask any additional questions.

Even if Chu Xiangqian wanted to talk some nonsense, Feifei didn't want to listen, and wasn't willing to listen.

Don't know too much, or you might get into trouble in the future.

Lou Xiao'e was naturally very happy that Chu Xiangqian could come to accompany her.

In the first few days, I spent all my time with Chu Xiangqian.

Fortunately, although Chu Xiangqian is a playboy, he is not only patient enough but also full of sweet words when facing any of his women.

Not only did he not find Lou Xiao'e annoying, he also made her happy all day long.

It wasn't until a week later that Lou's father and relatives couldn't stand it anymore.

Chu Xiangqian went out during the day and returned to Kowloon Tong to sleep at night.

But he didn't rush to find Gangsheng, Feifei and the others.

Instead, he went to Wong Tai Sin, where Kumiko and Olivia lived, and played two daytime games with the two women.

It completely eliminated the pent-up lust of the two middle-aged beauties.

By the way, it can be considered a reward for the two female ninjas.

For a week in a row, we spent the daytime in Wong Tai Sin, buying groceries and cooking together, going shopping together, and even watching two movies.

After that, we went back to the Peak Villa, stayed there for two nights, and then went to Kowloon Tong to stay for one night.

Lou Xiao'e had been in Hong Kong Island for more than seven months and had already known what kind of person her man was.

So he didn't get angry when Chu Xiangqian went back to the Mountain Top to accompany Gangsheng and the others.

Together with Lou's father and mother, they have been living in a luxury house in Kowloon Tong to accompany their daughter for more than seven months.

Chu Xiangqian is now back to accompany her while she prepares for childbirth, and Lou Xiao'e is in a very stable mood.

November 11th, in a private hospital in Kowloon.

Chu Xiangqian walked back and forth outside the delivery room with a frown on his face. Lou's father, mother, Lou Xiao'e's two brothers, sister-in-law, and nephews were also staring at the delivery room with anxious looks on their faces.

This morning at around 7 o'clock, as soon as Lou Xiao'e got up, she complained of stomachache.

Fortunately, Chu Xiangqian lived in Kowloon Tong last night. He gently picked up Lou Xiao'e and went downstairs and rushed to the private hospital that had been booked long ago.

It has been three hours since she entered the delivery room, and Lou Xiao'e has been crying out in pain, but the little guy in her belly just refuses to come out.

In addition, as they are already in their forties, the risk for older mothers is even greater.

Chu Xiangqian was extremely anxious, even a little worried and uneasy.

But before he could get anxious for long, he heard footsteps.

Then the master, his wife, Yixiantian, Lao Jiang and father-in-law Jin Yitang walked in quickly accompanied by Zhang Tianzhi.

After seeing Chu Xiangqian, the master's wife couldn't help but blame him, "You are already so old, and you have such a big happy event, but you still hide it from us?"

Chu Xiangqian smiled awkwardly, but Lou's father and mother, the two brothers and their wives, when they heard the master's wife talking about "good news", they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Mr. and Mrs. Lou came to Hong Kong Island 66 years ago. After so many years, they and their two sons, Lou Gaojun and Lou Gaokang, already knew that the Chu family was the most powerful and richest family in Hong Kong Island.

It’s a pity that Chu Xiangqian did a very good job of keeping the secret.

As a daughter, Lou Xiao'e was even more afraid that her parents would find out and it would affect Chu Xiangqian's future.

In Lou Xiao'e's mind, Chu Xiangqian was just busy with work and had to go on business trips from time to time.

If Chu Xiangqian was implicated because of her background as the daughter of a capitalist, she would not live either.

So the secret was kept secret for more than ten years.
