The British's obsession with afternoon tea is like Chinese New Year's dumplings. It's not impossible not to eat it, but if you don't have it, you will feel that something is missing and your life is not complete.
Phyllis has just arrived in Cape Town. She has been drifting on the sea for more than half a month. She probably won't be hungry. Forget about afternoon tea. Merchant ships can't afford Iris bone china, so I'll listen now.
By afternoon tea, Phyllis was as energetic as a scumbag who heard the bell.
"It's still morning. Afternoon tea is a bit early." Rock was speechless. At seven or eight o'clock in the morning, shouldn't we start the day's work fresh and energetic? What is afternoon tea?
"It's late. It's a quarter past ten. You're still a wounded man. You don't have to be so diligent." Henry grandly gave Roark a day off and took two days off himself.
Phyllis didn't know what was going on, and looked at Roark with a bit of suspicion. Wounded person? It didn't look like he was so alive.
His immediate superiors have said so, and Roark can't find any reason to object, so he will take two days off. Roque ordered Anna to prepare afternoon tea, and asked Bella to clean up a room for Phyllis. This is because there are so many people.
The advantage is that if Zach is the only servant in the family, he will be busy to death even if he is not exhausted.
After a sumptuous but not delicious afternoon tea that satisfied both Phyllis and Henry, Phyllis finally felt sleepy. This time, even the end of the world could not stop Phyllis from sleeping. Perhaps it was because she finally
Since she found Henry and had someone to rely on, Phyllis didn't feel it was rude to live in a stranger's home.
Well, maybe in Phyllis's eyes, living in a house like Henry's was the real faux pas.
The Cape Town Police Department is still very efficient at times. At noon the next day, the Cape Town Police Department announced incentives for Henry and Roque. Henry still served as the commando team leader, and his police rank was promoted from sergeant to inspector.
, Rock still serves as the deputy captain of the commando team, police rank——
Roark's police rank remains unchanged and he is still the sergeant, but he has a bonus of 100 pounds as a reward for Roark.
Roque had already expected this result.
This is also the reason why Rock decided to implement the "Senior Development Plan". As a Chinese police officer, Rock performed well. The British would give Rock appropriate rewards, but there must be a limit to this reward. The British would not treat Rock
Just like Henry, without any restrictions, if there are no accidents, the Sheriff——is the upper limit of Rock's life.
"Sorry Locke, I have tried my best to fight for you, but I have no ability to change anything. I didn't even fight for you as a trainee inspector." Henry felt very guilty and got drunk at the Table Mountain bar at night.
"It's okay Henry, I still have 100 pounds. You know the house I bought was only 100 pounds, so I'm not without gains." Roque can think openly, he must be more liberal, and there's nothing he can do if he can't. This is the characteristic of the times.
.
It is not a characteristic of the times. Even in the 21st century, things like the "glass ceiling" still exist. Not all efforts can be rewarded worthy of the effort.
"Hehehe, okay Locke, I forgive you. You're such a lucky guy. You only spent 100 pounds to buy such a nice house. It's really jealous." Henry was incoherent. The last time he forgave Locke for hooking up with him.
He killed Ada, and this time he forgave Roark for taking advantage. However, this was Roark's business, and what did it have to do with Henry?
It can't be said that it doesn't matter. Whether it's a colleague or a friend, if Rock keeps having good luck and Henry gets nothing, then Henry will inevitably feel envy, jealousy and hatred. If these emotions accumulate for a long time, they will definitely affect the relationship between Henry and Rock.
.
It's best to do this now. Roque is accompanied by a beautiful woman, Henry gets promoted and makes a fortune. Both of them can make progress and show their strengths, so that Henry can find a balance.
"You are the one who makes people jealous. Remember what we said a few days ago that it may take us twenty years to become an inspector. Now you are already an inspector. It has only been a few days!" Roque also felt a little bit.
Drunk, Henry envied Roark, and Roark didn't envy Henry.
As the saying goes, "A man cannot be without power for a day, and a husband cannot be without money for a day." It can be seen that "power" is more important than "money". If you want to be a man, you can't do it without "power", and no matter how much "money" you have, it will be nothing.
A little husband, if "power" and "money" were placed in front of Roque at the same time, Roque would choose "power" without hesitation. With "power", there will be "money", without "power",
No matter how much "money" you have, it is not necessarily yours.
Of course, Rock also believes that sooner or later, Rock will break his "glass ceiling." In the process of breaking the "glass ceiling," Henry plays a very important role, so Rock must ensure that there will be no problems between himself and Henry.
gap.
"Don't worry, Locke. One day, I will be the police chief, and you will be my deputy police chief by then." Henry vowed. If Henry had doubts about Locke before, now, Henry can
Give Rock your full trust.
In the evening, Rock and Henry stayed at the Table Mountain Hotel again.
Still a familiar room, still a familiar smell.
Rub, rub, rub—bang
A flame finally lit up in the darkness. Ada handed the cut cigar to Rock's mouth, then lit the cigar. Then she curled up next to Rock and watched Rock puff away. Most women didn't.
I like to smoke afterward, but Ada has no problem with this.
"It's unimaginable that when you were injured, I was by your side. In just two days, your wound was completely healed without leaving even a scar. How did you do it?" Ada asked Roque.
I am extremely curious. If the first relationship between Ada and Rock was just a momentary impulse, now Ada has completely fallen. A woman's fall often starts from curiosity.
"This is a reward from God, because the police department didn't give me what I deserved." Rock couldn't explain, so he could only change the topic.
Probably feeling Roque's depression, Ada lay on Roque's chest and smiled "bang bang bang", and raised her head before Roke became angry: "I still have some connections in the Governor's Mansion, do you want me to help you fight for it?"
?”
Rock also raised his head and gave Ada a gentle slap on the indescribable part, full of domineering: "If I rely on you to get promoted and make a fortune, then I won't become a freeloader? Just wait and see, your man has not yet
Fallen to that level!"
Well, these words were indeed domineering enough. Ada was instantly stimulated by the words "your man" and softened like water.
