Chapter 287 Master of Metaphysics

69, the fastest update of British civil servants!

"Why can't you live in harmony? This is a world of reconciliation. Let us focus on the future and seek common ground while reserving differences." Alan Wilson did his mediation work without sincerity.

"Do you want to take care of it? I'm talking as if you are my husband." Joan Crawford curled her lips and said, "Things between women are more complicated. In fact, there is no special reason. Is it okay if we just don't like each other?"

"This reason is actually the strongest reason." Alan Wilson was very sincere. That's what he thought. Then he raised his wrist and said, "Ladies, get ready for dinner. What do you want to eat? Don't ask me to ask. You should know how poor I am, receiving only a meager colonial salary.”

In fact, he wanted to say that he couldn't even get this salary. If he didn't strive for hundreds of millions of gray income, it would be a problem to eat. The Indian gardener in the flower garden not far away is also about to leave. If the bus stops later, he will have to walk back to Delhi, which is a hard job.

In British India, stars such as Hedy Lamar also followed Alan Wilson's guidance. When dealing with Indians, ignoring them was the greatest protection.

There can be no loyalty or true friendship with Indians. Affection, even affection, won't do. In general, the British did like Indians - native officials, rangers, hunters, clerks, servants.

The sepoys cried like children when their colonels retired. It's okay to even be close to them, as long as the occasion is right. But if you want to talk about joining forces or cooperation, that's absolutely not possible! Even if you want to know who is right and wrong in the dispute between the indigenous people, it is a thing that damages your prestige.

Of course, any code is dead, people are alive, and no rule is so strong that it cannot be broken. For example, Alan Wilson and Ali Khan, he, the Assistant Commissioner of British India, had a heartfelt respect for Ali Khan.

If Derrick could be half as good as Ali Khan, he would show the same respect to Derrick. It depends on how the other party chooses.

In fact, Joan Crawford's age is already more than twice Alan Wilson's real age, but there is no conflict. Instead, from time to time, she talks and teases Alan Wilson, a young man who has never seen the world.

Women, like men, like young people, but women usually don't say it out loud. But in the British colony of India, Joan Crawford returned to some of her true nature and took off her disguise.

As for Alan Wilson, he feels that age should be looked at separately. After all, people have great looks and a star aura, and age is only part of the factor. Not to mention a well-known celebrity, even ordinary women, decades later, there will be many young people who don't want to work hard, and hope that the aunt will open a broad mind to protect her.

As for Derek, Alan Wilson, as a bureaucrat in the British Indian colony, has anyone ever heard of a colonial official being anxious because a matter cannot be negotiated? Not to mention colonial officials, even native officials are professional in stalling for time.

The other party made no move, and he focused on his work. He even invited Hedy Lamarr, Joan Crawford, and Bette Davis who were staying in New Delhi to go to the movies. Go, this is a very courageous move.

Such unprofessional behavior made Sir Barron, the commissioner of British India, very satisfied. Young people should gain more knowledge and not be addicted to work. The work of British India still needs to be managed by mature and steady people. The assistant recognized this problem and The immediate boss was very pleased.

There is nothing wrong with accompanying female celebrities. Young people, everyone loves beauty, and it doesn't matter if they delay work. There are so many civil servants in the Governor's Office of British India, and Alan Wilson will not worry about it.

Even more boldly, Alan Wilson took out three rings and gave them to Hedy Lamarr, Joan Crawford, and Bette Davis at the same time.

"You are just a civil servant;

How much salary can you get? "Joan Crawford simply refused, "This is a lot of income for you. "

In fact, it is not very big. The gemstones were all given by Ali Khan. Alan Wilson just took out some gold and reprocessed it. As a famous jewelry processing place in India, the craftsmanship is still very good. There are three people's zodiac signs on the ring. .

Alan Wilson also popularized the knowledge about the twelve zodiac signs and experienced the image of a young official with knowledge and connotation.

It's just a drop in the bucket. Hearing Joan Crawford's rhetorical question, Alan Wilson replied in the most honest tone of his life, "I am usually very frugal and spent some of my previous savings, but now that everyone has come to England, Belonging to India, I always bring some gifts for you.”

In front of Joan Crawford, you can't just throw money at her. While throwing money at her, you must also emphasize your hard-earned background and establish a hard-working personal image.

Before Joan Crawford could refuse, Alan Wilson introduced, "This kind of dragon is domineering and controlling, insecure, likes to be in a dominant position, and likes to be praised. He loves to be neat and tidy, likes to think wildly, and has an extreme personality. .Has a dual personality and resists being approached by others. When facing love, she hopes her spouse will be financially stable."

Joan Crawford wanted to continue saying something, but when she heard Alan Wilson's words, she said with a complex expression, "No wonder Vivian listens to you so much. You know so much, you have even studied Eastern mysticism."

That is! Alan Wilson accepted the compliment without hesitation. I guess the civil servants in Xiangjiang were confused yesterday. Why did British India send a telegram to a fortune teller?

He had no choice but to bear the price for his previous negligence. He couldn't kill these public figures, so he had to find another way to solve the problem. Now it seems that the effect is very good.

It seems that superstition can sometimes have unexpected effects when used. A certain black American astrologer in later generations used a set of wizard theories to deceive a Norwegian princess.

After getting Joan Crawford, he did the same with Hedy Lamarr and Bette Davis. Alan Wilson directly got the three actresses who stayed in New Delhi, and made a fool of the civil servant who had a fortune-telling skills. Now It is basically certain that the affairs between him and Vivien Leigh, at least to these three actresses, will not be leaked in a short time.

"After accepting your gift, I will tell you one thing. Derek told me that the person he negotiated with in British India was you." Bette Davis said with a complicated expression, "He came this time to tell Iron The mine is destined to be obtained, and I may still look for you."

"Betty, you shouldn't reveal this. This may affect your relationship with Derek." Alan Wilson was a little surprised, but he immediately showed his airtight nature and considered the issue from Bette Davis's point of view. .

"He is tired of me in our relationship." Bette Davis smiled bitterly. "In his eyes, the so-called movie actress is not a precious identity, but just a thing."

It turned out that she had been dumped and was feeling resentful. Bette Davis was right.

Alan Wilson thought sympathetically that maybe many female celebrities received too much praise and always turned this praise into an illusion, thinking that because of their beauty, countless people would want to kiss her, and it seemed very easy to kiss her. Yes, love is not necessarily the case.

It seems that many Hollywood actresses in this era have been married many times in their lives, and they have ended miserably. Actresses in the 21st century are obviously very open-minded. They can live together for many years without getting married.

"Anyway, thank you very much." Alan Wilson expressed his gratitude sincerely. Looking at Bette Davis who changed her stance, he said sincerely, "It's best not to offend women."

When it comes to the recent arrival of these actresses in New Delhi, what has touched Alan Wilson the most is that from now on, he must find a way to guard against Pamela Mountbatten.

For selfish reasons, he hoped that Pamela Mountbatten could live in a bubble of happiness for the rest of her life. Although the girl he chose is not as good as any of these actresses in terms of appearance.

But this is different. He will always marry a woman. In the current British civil service system, there are also requirements for a stable marriage. The Cambridge Five are the exception among the exceptions. Most promotions are based on marital stability.

In any case, it is gratifying to gradually get half of the members of the best friend group who came to British India.

He also obtained important bottom-line information, which made it clear that Derek was determined to win the iron mine. He could then use his bureaucratic advantage to delay time.

I was thinking about it even when I was sleeping, but there was a knock at the door, and Alan Wilson had to get out of the quilt to open the door. It meant that the British community was safe. If he lived in Delhi where Indians lived, he would not dare to do this.

"Joan?" When he opened the door and saw Joan Crawford, Alan Wilson instinctively wanted to raise his wrist to check the time, but found that he had taken off his watch because of his break. He couldn't help but smile bitterly, "It's very late."

"I know." Joan Crawford walked in directly and closed the door behind her, "Ellen, sister is a little empty."

"Huh? Am I dreaming?" Alan Wilson had never encountered such a good thing before, and he couldn't believe it for a moment.

The moon hid behind the clouds, covering everything in the night with darkness. After a long time, Joan Crawford sighed with satisfaction, "Ellen, you worked very hard."

"Joan, I don't have a drop left." Alan Wilson already understood that Joan Crawford was more difficult to deal with than Vivien Leigh.

It's a pity that Joan Crawford didn't understand the important role of a time management master. Fortunately, no one came over the next morning, otherwise she would have been caught, and she was not exposed.
