In order to allow the police officers to appear well-dressed in front of big shots, the Cape Town Police Department has prepared 500 pounds for this security event. In addition to preparing appropriate clothing for the police officers participating in the duty, they also need to hire etiquette teachers to standardize
The manners and polite language of police officers.
"Etiquette is just saying someone is a gentleman, saying something is a lady, smiling before speaking, and bowing every time." Anton had a lot of complaints. In fact, it was because Anton had just gone to a tailor shop to customize clothes, and the police station was called.
The police were required to be given uniforms, which made Anton resentful.
It was a full ten pounds, and Anton still felt quite hurt when he thought about it.
"Don't say weird things. If you bring your own dress, the cost of the clothing prepared by the bureau will be discounted. You'd better get your hair trimmed." Rock is very dissatisfied with Anton's hair style. Is the Yin Yang hair so worthy of nostalgia in the white society?
Only women who violate ethics and morals will have their heads shaved.
"A haircut like yours? I don't want to be a monk." Luo Ke couldn't stand Anton's hairstyle, and Anton couldn't stand Roke. In the Qing Dynasty, only monks would shave their heads like Roke.
"If you don't get a haircut, you won't be able to participate in security operations." Rock smiled, empty words were not as moving as real money.
"If you don't participate in the security operation, why don't you get a discount?" Anton is still worried about money.
"What do you think?" Rock smiled even more happily. Of course, if he didn't participate in the security operation, he wouldn't get any money.
What a good excuse. To convince Anton and the others to naturalize, Roark wasted countless words. Roark can imagine how troublesome it would be to convince Anton and the others to cut off their braids. At least the British have given up on doing so. In fact, the Chinese
There are also turbans similar to those of Indian Sikhs. Many Chinese people also put their braids in their hats when wearing cowboy hats. This proves that Chinese people do not like braids on their heads.
But it's one thing to dislike someone, and it's another thing to cut off their braids. Cutting off your braids means completely severing ties with the Qing Dynasty, which was a major crime of beheading in the Qing Dynasty.
Facts have proved that the charm of money is endless. In other words, after naturalizing in Cape Town, Anton and the others were mentally prepared to completely sever ties with the Qing Dynasty. That night, many Chinese policemen cut off their braids and even barber shops.
Without even going there, the brothers helped each other and cut off the braids directly with scissors. No one cared about whether the hairstyle would look good or not after cutting off the braids.
How convenient.
A week later, all the commandos received uniformly customized dresses. This dress was a simplified version of the standard dress customized by Rock. It had a tuxedo, vest, trousers, and leather shoes, but no cane or pocket watch. However, this
No problem, putting a pocket square in your breast pocket can also play a decorative role.
"The dinner is held on Christmas Eve night. Now let's get to know some big shots -" In addition to etiquette training, the commandos also need to get to know some important people attending the banquet. They are the main protection targets of the commandos. Henry is responsible for this work.
.
"First of all, our great Governor, Sir Alfred Milner, I believe you are no stranger to him -" The Cape Town police station is quite advanced, Henry said while holding a piece of Alfred Milner
Milner's photo hangs on the wall next to him, and he still has many photos in his hand.
"Then there is the new Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, Field Marshal Sir Frederick Roberts, and the new Chief of Staff of the Expeditionary Force, General Horatio Herbert Kitchener - and finally, our Prime Minister William Philip
"Mr. Schreiner, like you, I don't know why Mr. Schreiner is in Cape Town. I thought he was going to the Transvaal to negotiate with Mr. Paul Kruger." Henry said to Prime Minister Schreiner.
Schreiner did not seem to respect him, which is not surprising. Schreiner advocated negotiations with the Boers, while Governor Alfred Milner had a tough attitude. If nothing else, Schreiner would not stay in the position of prime minister for long.
By the time Henry finished the introduction, dozens of photos were already hanging on the wall, including the photo of Police Chief August Russell. It was these dozens of people on the wall who formed the so-called "upper class" in Cape Town.
society".
It appears that this was a welcome dinner for Sir Frederick Roberts and General Horatio Herbert Kitchener. The failure of the Battle of Ladysmith caused the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, General Redvers Buller, to
Resigning, Sir Frederick Roberts became Admiral Buller's successor.
This is good news for the Cape Colony. Sir Frederick Roberts is an experienced colonial general who has served as the Commander-in-Chief of the Army in India for a long time. He will become the savior of the Cape Colony.
But this is not necessarily good news for Rock. Although Sir Frederick Roberts is a standard British man, he was born in India and may have a better impression of Indians.
Of course, it’s not necessarily true. The strange thing about Indians is that people who don’t know them have certain expectations for them.
And the more you get to know them, the more you hate them.
"Remember these faces, each of them has a good background. If you accidentally offend someone you shouldn't offend, Mr. Director will not speak for you." Henry is right, these people on the wall are none of them.
Can't afford to offend either.
"Locke, I see they all look the same." Locke could barely identify him, but Anton was completely dumbfounded. It's not just white people who have face blindness towards Chinese people, many Chinese people also have face blindness towards white people. In fact, it's because of the contact.
few.
"That's right, they all have red eyebrows and green eyes, and they all look the same as foreigners." Luo Yi has not recovered from his injury, but he has already started to go to work, because if he doesn't go to work, he won't get paid. He is really a tenacious little strongman.
Being whipped was also good for Luo Yi. Luo Yi successfully made everyone in the police station remember him with his crazy performance. Maybe many people still don't like Luo Yi, but when it comes to Luo Yi, even those who don't like Luo Yi
If you are a good man, you should also say that you are a good man.
"Don't talk nonsense, remember them as much as possible, and don't cause trouble when the time comes." Luo Ke was distracted. For Luo Ke, remembering these people is very important, not just for security services on Christmas Eve.
Unlike Anton and others, Rock's goal in life is not just to live, but to live better.
Rock is not an Englishman, has no deep background in Cape Town, and does not have a large ethnic group to provide help. If you want to get ahead, you cannot do without the support of big people. These people on the wall can determine Rock's fate to a large extent.
, Rock must ensure that he can leave a deep enough impression on them when they need him.
