Chapter 1099 1097 [The awarding of honors is in progress!]
As an old empire, the British Empire is absolutely top-notch in playing power.
The reason why London is willing to confer the title of "Viscount" on Shi Zhijian this time is entirely to win over people's hearts in order to maintain stability in Hong Kong and maintain their British Empire's colonial rule.
From the perspective of the British high-level officials, the British side "quietly" threw Shi Zhijian a "Viscount" gimmick casually, without holding a too grand ceremony, nor calling too many people to watch the ceremony, it was as simple as giving a
He then awarded Shi Zhijian a medal and told him to go back to Hong Kong and wander around on his own!
Therefore, from the very beginning, the British senior officials did not pay much attention to Shi Zhijian's "honorary award". They just prepared it casually and went through the motions as a formality.
Who is Shi Zhijian? Of course he also knows that this ghost has ulterior motives. He seems to value himself very much. But in fact, as a Chinese, they don't take you seriously at all. It is estimated that this time you go to Buckingham Palace to receive honors, even in the presence of the Queen.
Not even seen!
In fact, this is indeed the case. Her Majesty the Queen excused herself from illness early in the morning and would not directly participate in the awarding of honors. She only chose a confidant to do it for her. In order to show her grandeur, she also specially arranged for someone to go to the place where Shi Zhijian lives to make the announcement.
At this moment, the man was lounging in the villa where Shi Zhijian lived and was chatting with Yan Xiong and others.
According to the self-introduction of the visitor, his name is "Boll", he is a bodyguard serving Her Majesty the Queen, and he has always been responsible for conveying sacred information.
Yan Xiong listened for a long time before he understood that this was similar to the Chinese eunuchs who delivered orders, but no matter how he looked at it, this Boer didn't look like he had been castrated.
"Mr. Bol, please wait a moment. Our Mr. Shi worked very late last night and is still washing up!" Yan Xiong nodded and bowed and said to the ghost boy Bol.
Bol looked impatient: "What do you mean? You still want me to wait here? I'm here to deliver a message!"
Without saying anything, Yan Xiong took out a wad of money and stuffed it over: "Wait a moment, everyone is on our own!"
"Who are you...well, actually my grandmother is Chinese! In this way, she can be regarded as one of our own!" Bol hurriedly accepted the money and put it in his arms, "But I will only wait for five minutes.
It’s against the rules to wait too long!”
"Of course! Of course! I'm going to urge Mr. Shi to hurry up!" Yan Xiong smiled coquettishly and asked the maid to serve Boer tea, and he quickly ran to find Shi Zhijian.
In the bedroom, Shi Zhijian was arranging his clothes in front of the dressing mirror.
As soon as Yan Xiong saw him, the emperor was not in a hurry and the eunuch shouted anxiously: "Mr. Shi, are you finished? People are waiting outside in a hurry! The awarding of honors will begin soon!"
Shi Zhijian turned back and glared at him: "I'm not deaf, so there's no need to be so loud! Also, the one named Boer, right? Let him wait!"
Yan Xiong rolled his triangular eyes and was speechless. He thought of the countless big guys in Hong Kong, all of whom were proud of being awarded medals. He wished he could fly over from Hong Kong with wings and see his boss again - hey, people are more popular than others.
Dead man!
Shi Zhijian was sober and ruthless in his heart. He did not initiate this honorary award. The main reason was that the British wanted to "act" and promote their approachability, democracy and freedom, and their kindness and tolerance towards Hong Kong.
Shi Zhijian was just fulfilling his obligation to cooperate with them, and there was absolutely no need to warm up to their cold butts.
I finally put on a brand new suit and my tie was changed to a bow tie, which made it look more formal.
Shi Zhijian then went to the living room to meet the guard officer Boer who came to report the news.
Gui Lao Bol couldn't sit still at this time. He never expected that Shi Zhijian would be so assertive! He actually made himself wait here for fifteen or six minutes in vain!
If Yan Xiong hadn't stuffed him with money before, he would have completely exploded!
Yan Xiong accompanied Shi Zhijian panting from the bedroom to the living room, immediately acting as a go-between to introduce both parties.
"Mr. Shi, this is Mr. Boer, the bodyguard sent by above to inform you of your award!"
Shi Zhijian looked at Bol, who was sitting on a chair with an impatient expression. When Shi Zhijian came out, he showed no intention of getting up. Instead, he looked at Shi Zhijian up and down with disdain.
For Bohr, of course he understood why the higher-ups wanted to confer this Chinese man the title of Viscount. To put it bluntly, he wanted to give them a sweet date to moisten their throats and give them a taste of the sweetness!
But no matter how much these Chinese people jump up and down, Hong Kong is still a colony of the British Empire. In that land, the Chinese are always only third-class citizens, even worse than Indians!
Because of this, Boll looked disdainful towards Shi Zhijian.
When Shi Zhijian saw the other person looking at him with a half-smile, he extended his hand enthusiastically and said: "Hello, Mr. Boer, I am Shi Zhijian from Hong Kong!"
Boer snorted coldly, but did not shake hands with Shi Zhijian. Instead, he raised his chin and said: "Mr. Shi, are you? You have such a big air! You know clearly that I am sent by the superiors, but you are still dawdling and just come out now."
See me?"
"Sorry! Mainly because I was too busy with work last night and got up a little late!" Shi Zhijian said as he took out the money from his pocket. After all, he made people wait for so long, so he meant it as he should.
When Bol saw that Shi Zhijian was about to pay, his eyes showed greed, and he said: "I'm just here to deliver a message. I'll go back after I've delivered it! Please, Mr. Shi, take care of yourself! This is London, England, not your shabby place, Hong Kong!"
"Huh? What, a shabby place?" Shi Zhijian was startled for a moment, put down the money he was about to take out, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and wiped his nose.
Boer was also startled, why didn't he pay for it?
"Mr. Bohr, you may be mistaken. It's not that I want to come to your place, but that you invited me here! And I was invited twice!" Shi Zhijian was referring to the first time he was canonized as a baron, and this time.
Being made a Viscount, "I had no choice but to come all the way from that shabby place you called to London!"
"What, you think what I just said was wrong?" Boer still had a cold face and said with a smile, "Do you want me to carry you over in an eight-carat sedan chair according to your Chinese rules?"
Shi Zhijian smiled, "It's not necessary to carry an eight-carriage sedan chair, but playing gongs and drums is a must!"
"What did you say?" Boer was completely amused by Shi Zhijian's "arrogance", "Hahaha!" He laughed disdainfully.
He knew exactly how the higher-ups arranged this time. Not to mention the gongs and drums and the roaring salute, there were not even a few people to watch the ceremony. It was all just a little joke, like a joke, but this damn Chinese took it seriously.
Got it!
But before Boer finished laughing, he heard noises coming from outside, followed by gongs and drums and firecrackers!
"What happened?" Bol was surprised.
He hurriedly walked outside, looked up, and was completely shocked!
In front is a dragon and lion dance team composed of dozens of people, beating gongs and drums, and setting off firecrackers!
Behind is a large and dark team of nearly a thousand people, waiting outside the villa like a legion!
Crowded!
It’s like celebrating the New Year!
"This, this--" Bol was so shocked that he was at a loss what to do!
The superiors asked him to handle the matter quietly, invite Shi Zhijian over, and quietly award the medal, but now-——
This is more grand than the king’s coronation!
"I'm sorry, Mr. Boer! You know I'm Chinese, and we Chinese are very traditional! We like to beat gongs, dance with dragons and lions during happy events, do you mind?"
Bol's vision went dark and he almost fell down!
…
John Hong never dreamed that he, a top student at Cambridge University, would be spreading soy sauce and killing people in Chinatown!
"Now, we are all Chinese, and some are Chaozhou people like me! To put it bluntly, we are all Jiajilang! When we go out, what is the most important thing? It is to be united and to be loyal! To help each other!
"
John Hong stood on the steps, with his arms crossed and high spirits, looking like a general commanding thousands of troops.
Opposite him, all the darkness was filled with human heads.
Most of these people grew up in Chinatown, and some have never even gone out in their lives for fear of being bullied by ghosts, but today they all gathered together.
"Why do those ghost guys always bully us? Because we are Chinese! We are Chinese! We are considered third-class citizens by them in England!"
"But today, everything has changed! Why? Because a Viscount appeared in our Chinatown! He is Mr. Shi Zhijian, who just came to Chinatown not long ago! This is a big secret, but I want to tell you! In fact, this time he
The reason you come to London is to receive an award! Her Majesty the Queen personally awarded him the award and awarded him the Viscount Medal!"
"In other words, Mr. Shi Zhijian will become the first Chinese Viscount among us! This is definitely a great victory!"
John Hong’s tone was strong and full of passion! He was almost moved by himself!
Everyone in the audience shouted: "We can talk about this later! We just want to know now, as long as we participate in the parade, can we really get soy sauce for free?"
"Huh?" Hong John suddenly felt that he had said so much just now, and it would be more satisfying to just say "make soy sauce"!
"Of course! As long as everyone participates in the parade, then each person will have a bag of soy sauce, and no one will be bullied! Even -" John Hong raised a finger and said solemnly, "If anyone can cry with excitement, give me an extra bag
! For those who cry so much that their noses run out, add one more bag!"
Everyone at the scene suddenly became excited.
"Okay, there's some soy sauce here! Everyone, hurry up and line up!"
"We're going on a parade! From Chinatown to the streets of London!"
"Cry loudly! Runny nose! Get lots of soy sauce!"
It exploded right on the spot!
John Hong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He was deeply touched when he saw these neighbors who were so excited for a bag of soy sauce!
Soon, Hong John gathered thousands of people in one breath to prepare for Viscount Shi Zhijian, who would later hold an honorary parade!
At the same time, Hong John Lai relied on his connections with the Teochew Gang to contact the most famous dragon and lion dance team in Chinatown and invited them to be the vanguard of the parade at a 30% discount!
When everything was ready, the troops rumbled to the villa where Shi Zhijian lived.
Therefore, the ghost guard Boer was almost frightened to pee by the scene in front of him!
Shi Zhijian knew very well that Britain would never award him a medal with much fanfare, let alone appear on TV or in newspapers.
The British side wanted to be quiet and quietly handled the matter. After all, it was very bold to confer a viscount on a Chinese, so as not to cause discussion in the British mainland.
Shi Zhijian will not be easily manipulated by them. Don’t you want to be silent? I will make it bigger for you!
He immediately ordered John Hong to create such an earth-shattering scene!
