With the Rolls-Royce behind and Benjamin's car in front, the two cars drove towards the city hall. At this time, a lot of media had come to the press conference in the city hall. After all, this was a major event in the city government.
news.
After getting out of the car, everyone walked together, "Ben, let's change the car. Don't consider it if it's less than 100,000. It's mine. You must know that you are my full-time lawyer. Driving this kind of car will make people feel that I am abusing my employees."
"Guo Yongren said with a smile, and Benjamin also laughed.
"Boss, I have been waiting for this sentence since you came to London this time. I will pick up the car in the afternoon and have already taken a look at it." Benjamin said with a smile. Guo Yongren also smiled, raised his fist and faced Benjamin.
After fisting her fist, Aselina looked puzzled. It is difficult for women to understand things between men.
Guo Yongren and the others walked through a special passage. After entering, they met Burton. Burton was also amazed by Guo Yongren and Aselina today. Aselina was naturally without makeup, and she became extremely charming after a little tidying up.
The ducal halo above her head simply kills the hearts of all kinds of men instantly.
"Mr. Burton, this is my girlfriend, Duke Aselina"
"Aselina, this is my good friend Senator Burton." Guo Yongren introduced the two of them. Burton was shocked when he heard Aselina's title. He knew that Guo Yongren would not joke with Arthur.
Lin Na shook hands in a friendly manner and secretly gave Guo Yongren a thumbs up. Both of them smiled.
This kind of press conference is programmed and has a special host. In order to have a good effect today, Guo Yongren specially invited Alvin, the person in charge of a well-known charity organization, the Labor Mutual Aid Charity Fund, to also come
Today, Guo Yongren will donate one million pounds to the foundation to improve its effectiveness. Burton will certainly not object, knowing that Guo Yongren will mention him when the time comes, which will be beneficial to him.
When the time came, the reporters asked, and the city government's press officer also appeared, "Everyone, welcome, we will hold a signing ceremony here today. The Umbrella Group purchased a piece of land with the city government and invested 200 million.
Pound Sterling, we want to build a global landmark building. Now, please invite Councilor Burton, the representative of the city government, and Mr. Guo Yongren, chairman of the Umbrella Group, to take his place." After the spokesperson finished speaking, he made an invitation gesture to the people sitting behind him.
Burton was in front, Guo Yongren was behind, and Aselina took Guo Yongren's arm, and the three of them went on stage. The reporters in the audience began to take pictures, especially to Aselina, who was so beautiful.
It’s really rare to see women, so I need to take two more photos.
Guo Yongren and Burton both signed, and the spokesman pushed to the back at this time, knowing clearly that today was the day for Burton and the Umbrella Group, and it was better for him not to overwhelm the guest.
The reporters in the audience started to raise their arms and wanted to ask questions. However, Burton took the microphone and said, "Everyone, let me tell you a few things. I will set aside special time for everyone to ask questions." Burton said, and the reporters below
It's quiet.
Burton began his speech, which was very contagious. He introduced the process of signing the contract. At the same time, he also expressed his campaign philosophy without any sense of violation. He was still very capable.
After Burton finished speaking, it was Guo Yongren's turn, "Everyone, thank you for coming today. I am very honored. The Umbrella Group will make large-scale investments in the UK. Therefore, a modern office building is very much needed. I
With the help of Councilor Burton and coordination with the city government, Umbrella will build a global landmark building on this land. Today, with your help, I would like to send this message to designers around the world.
The invitation phone number is..." Guo Yongren announced the first thing, and many people took notes.
"The second thing I want to announce is related to Senator Burton. Senator Burton is very concerned about the lives of workers and knows the hardships of workers' lives. I am very moved by his love and care for workers.
"Here, I will donate one million pounds to the Husband Mutual Aid Charity Fund to help those in need," Guo Yongren said with deep emotion.
I remembered the warm applause below. People who are willing to do charity are still very respected by people these days. Alvin, the head of the Labor Mutual Aid Charitable Fund, came on stage. Guo Yongren took out a one million pound note from his arms.
The check was handed over to Alvin in person. Alvin could be said to be a celebrity, and basically all the reporters knew him.
Alvin also gave a speech, thanking both Burton and Guo Yongren of the Umbrella Group for caring about the suffering of workers. After thanking them, he stepped down, and it was time for free questions.
"Excuse me, who is this beautiful lady?" A young reporter asked. Guo Yongren and Burton both smiled bitterly. They are really afraid of what they come from. Aselina is so eye-catching, so I brought her here today.
What a wrong choice.
Guo Yongren thought for a while and decided to tell the truth. Anyway, these reporters have great powers and they can find out without telling them. It is better to tell the truth.
"This is Duke Aselina, my good friend." Guo Yongren introduced Aselina to everyone. As soon as they heard Aselina's identity, the reporters were as excited as if they had been shot. They found her.
It's eye-catching news. You know, Aselina just came on stage with Guo Yongren on her arm.
"Excuse me, what is the relationship between Mr. Guo and our Lord Duke?" a reporter immediately asked, and Guo Yongren felt a big headache.
"This is a secret," Guo Yongren said with a smile. Reporters don't care about Guo Yongren's answer. As long as you are together, then the secret is not a secret at all. We will make up a love story for you.
Guo Yongren smiled bitterly and turned to look at Burton. Both of them saw each other's regret, but there was no other way. It was already like this and they had no choice but to go on. The best way was to end it early.
"Thank you all for coming," Guo Yongren said and left directly with Aselina. Burton looked at the reporters below. He didn't know how much they remembered what he said. He hoped they could remember more. It was a bit overwhelming today.
.
Guo Yongren and Benjamin arrived at the car, took a breath, and turned to look at Aselina, feeling somewhat apologetic, "Aselina, just now I..." Guo Yongren just said this, and Aselina kissed her directly.
Sorry, don't let Guo Yongren talk any more.
"I understand" Aselina said thoughtfully. Guo Yongren felt Aselina's love and hugged Aselina hard. Guo Yongren still underestimated the strength of the London reporters. The scene of the two kissing and hugging just now was
The reporters took the photo, and he was not alone. Later, Guo Yongren had a headache.
After saying hello to Benjamin, the two got in the car. Instead of returning to Victory Manor, they went directly to Aselina's house. Aselina's house was still in dilapidation, and it was time to tidy it up.
.
The two got off the car in the manor and did not go to the villa. Instead, they walked around. It was in a state of dilapidation. Many places were covered with weeds and the trees were uneven. The original racecourse and other buildings were in dilapidated condition, and the servants' building was also dilapidated.
They are all very old-fashioned. It can be said that they are basically in need of repairs just like Guo Yongren just took over Victory Manor.
Back in the living room, Guo Yongren called Ryan over, "Lian, the manor needs some repairs, especially the workers' building that needs to be rebuilt. Do you know that?" Guo Yongren asked.
"Yes sir," Ryan replied respectfully. He had already learned Guo Yongren's methods that day. He also knew that the reason why this manor existed was because Guo Yongren paid back the bank's debt for Aselina. Otherwise, it would have been long ago.
It ceases to exist.
"How much funds are needed?" Guo Yongren asked directly.
"Sir, repairing the workers' building, gardens and roads will cost at least three million pounds," Ryan said cautiously. Guo Yongren nodded, knowing in his heart that this amount was not enough.
He took out the checkbook from his pocket, wrote a check and handed it to Ryan, "This is five million pounds. Let's start construction tomorrow. I will send you a few security personnel over. The workers can temporarily live on the second floor.
However, you are not allowed to enter the guest room above the second floor. You have to explain this to them clearly, or you can directly seal the stairs leading to the third floor for me and unblock them later. Aselina will temporarily stay with me.
Where?" Guo Yongren said directly.
"Okay sir, I'll arrange it right away," Ryan said happily. The Duke's Palace will be replaced with new ones soon. This is something to be happy about.
"Aselina, go up and tidy up your clothes and stay with me temporarily," Guo Yongren said. Aselina nodded and went upstairs to get ready.
Guo Yongren went to make a call to find Buck from the security company. Although the security company's people were not available for the time being, it was still possible to temporarily send a few over. The call was quickly connected, "Hello, I'm Buck."
Buck's voice came over.
"Buck, please note the address, and... send five security personnel here to temporarily take charge of the security here, and follow the instructions of the housekeeper here." Guo Yongren said directly, and Buck should be able to hear his own voice.
.
"Okay boss, no problem, they will be at the designated location tomorrow" Buck said directly. Guo Yongren nodded, said a few words to Buck and hung up the phone.
Not long after, Aselina went downstairs carrying a bag, and Ryan also came over. There were only three servants in the house, and they were not too young. Guo Yongren looked at them and shook his head.
"Ryan, they are not young anymore. Those who should retire can retire early. Don't treat them badly. After all, they have watched Aselina grow up. In addition, the security personnel will come over tomorrow and ask them to help you connect the second floor to the
The passage on the third floor is sealed. You arrange their work and rest time, and the repair of the manor will be left to you." Guo Yongren said to Ryan, who nodded and wrote it all down.
