Chapter 754 Social Season
As we approach late May, Cameron once again announced a series of appointments, including the director of MI6, the Secret Intelligence Service.
Veteran intelligence officer Alex Young will serve as the new director of MI6.
As Barron said to his intelligence adviser Nigel Inkster, before this, he had a secret meeting with Alex Younger. After that, This intelligence officer with deep qualifications and rich experience in the British intelligence system came into Cameron's field of vision, and was eventually appointed as the director of MI6. It can be said that he has achieved the highest position among British intelligence personnel.
“So John Smith’s troubles are temporarily over?”
Barron asked relaxedly during the phone call with Ivanta.
"Yes, after that, the prosecutor general did not 'harass' him again. Although it is not known for the time being that he has given up on continuing the investigation, and there has been no definite progress for a while, but at least Xin The Clay Group will not be greatly affected.”
After meeting John Smith last time, Barron did not ask him about the follow-up to this matter - he did not want to give the other party his own influence. The illusion of "having a hand" in this matter was only learned about some of the circumstances through Ivanta.
It seems that John Smith was very smart this time to cut off the relationship between him and the prisoner. As long as he cannot be connected with the whole thing, then there is no need to pay too much attention to this matter.
But speaking of John Smith, his wife Jenny has just returned to London and moved into the Earl of Bute's mansion in Chelsea.
Because June is coming soon, and the social season in England is about to begin.
Speaking of the British social season, everyone is most familiar with the Royal Ascot held in the third week of June.
But in fact, the British social season consists of a series of activities including the Chelsea Flower Show, Royal Ascot, and Henley's Royal Regatta.
Every year when summer is about to enter, gentlemen and ladies will dress up and participate in this series of activities...
Although Jenny lives most of her time in the United States, she After all, she was born in a British aristocratic family, and she has participated in this event every year since she was a child, so she would not miss it as long as she had time.
As for Barron, he will of course attend the more important occasions, such as the Royal Ascot. There is a racecourse in his estate. He is invited to attend this event every year and sits in the most important position next to the royal family.
In the past, Bonnie accompanied him to participate in these activities. However, in fact, Bonnie was not very interested in such activities where form was more important than substance. Now after the two divorced, although Said that Barron still proposed that she accompany him to attend, but it seemed that As his ex-wife, he hopes to be able to stay with his children at home...
Richard is still too young, so Bonnie will accompany him at home, and Barron will take him and Bonnie for the first time. His son, George Cavendish, the heir to the Duke of Devonshire, went to attend these events.
"If possible, I don't really want to go to those activities..."
At Earl Bute's house, Countess Chris, Bonnie and Jenny were there While chatting about the activities of the social season, Barron talked to Earl Bute about King's Cross at the bar.
"I passed by there a few days ago and felt that the construction of King's Cross seemed a bit too slow. It was not much different from what I saw half a year ago..."
Hear Barron's complaint , Earl Bute shrugged:
“This is London. The main reason is that the construction was too slow in the previous winter. Now it has begun to speed up...”
Ian ·Butt said helplessly:
“After all, here, many projects have too many people pointing their fingers. Environmental protection, cultural protection and even community associations will constantly give their opinions and let us make modifications. Although the plan is not difficult to cope with, it will also affect the progress of our construction..."
"How about Argent Real Estate Group's projects in Australia and India?"
"I have to say, Barron, as the company's major shareholder, you don't care too much about Argent..." Earl Butt said with a smile. :
“Of course, what you are paying attention to now are those big projects, but speaking of it, after developing in the Asian market, I am very optimistic about the potential there, and there are several projects in Mumbai. The projects are all satisfactory, well, some of the high-end areas there are pretty good, as long as you ignore the slums that exist..."
While Barron was talking to Earl Bute, he noticed When he reached the woman on the side, the look Jenny looked at him contained certain meanings.
Soon, Barron felt the vibration of his phone. He picked it up and saw that Jenny had sent him a message from WoawChat:
"Go out with me later."
Seeing this news, Barron asked "?" as if nothing had happened...
This woman was here in her room yesterday. Didn't he just have a conversation with her and the Countess? Study for a long time? What do you want to do?
“Didn’t you say last time that you had some toys in Neverland? I’d like to see them.”
Well, Barron is a little suspicious. I am afraid that she came to London this time not really to participate in the social season, but because she has some fever symptoms and wants to give him a few more injections...
...< br>
“I heard that you are planning to go on a voyage around the world?”
In the basement of Barron’s villa in Neverland, after Jenny got her wish and tried many interesting toys, she asked Barron weakly.
“It’s not really a global voyage. We are currently planning to set off from London to Kolo in West Africa.”
"When will we set off?"
"After the Royal Ascot next month..."
"I want to participate in such an interesting thing."
In Last year, Kolo After purchasing two British Type 23 frigates, the two frigates, named "Bulita" and "Lotti" respectively, were renovated in the British shipyard, and the Colo Corps also sent some Personnel come for training.
Originally it could be completed in May, but due to many reasons, the construction period was extended. Therefore, in the end, the two frigates and some related equipment will be completed in early July, setting off from England. Arrive in Kolo.
Barron is also preparing to take this opportunity to take his female companions on his superyacht "Devenhill Poseidon" and follow the two frigates to complete the voyage from England to Kolo, West Africa.
On the one hand, he can take this opportunity to experience the feeling of long-distance sailing. After all, since he ordered this super yacht, he has not done any decent long-distance sailing.
On the other hand, following two warships will ensure safety in terms of safety.
According to the plan, Barron’s female companions will include Bonnie, Countess, Catherine and others, as well as his children - Tamaran Ecclestone should also be completed by then If we get production, we can also participate together when the time comes.
Now that Jenny has heard about the plan for this voyage from Bonnie and the others, and strongly requests to participate, Barron feels it doesn't matter.
After all, the "Devenhill Poseidon" is big enough to accommodate a few more people.
