Chapter 159 Reception (3)

Just as Li Zhiwen was talking to British Prime Minister Mrs. Thatcher, the eyes of the entire banquet hall were around the two of them. They were also wondering why Mrs. Thatcher looked at this Hong Kong man differently and discussed it for so long.

Many people are wondering what the two are talking about, but none of them are coming over. After all, it would be bad if the two are talking about something confidential and they know.

Finally one person broke the atmosphere, and it turned out that the Duke of Bedford walked over with his young daughter Gris Russell.

"Ms. Margaret, can you lend me the young man in front of you for a few minutes?" Before the Duke of Bedford arrived, the voice came over.

The Duke of Bedford was also to remind the two of them. First, the conversation between them was indeed too long, and second, they would talk first. If Li Zhiwen and Mrs. Thatcher have any secret remarks, they can also be stopped in time.

Mrs. Thatcher did the same. When she heard someone calling her, Mrs. Thatcher immediately stopped talking to Li Zhiwen, turned around and looked at it. Seeing that it was Duke of Bedford, Mrs. Thatcher smiled and said, "So it is Duke of Bedford. Are you here to repay your kindness? I'm just over the talk, you guys."

"Then thank you Ms. Margaret!" said the Duke of Bedford.

"I happened to have something to deal with in small matters, so you can talk about it!" said Mrs. Thatcher.

Then Mrs. Thatcher turned around and said to Li Zhiwen: "Mr. Li, then let's talk about this first. If you have any needs, you can go directly to Downing Street to find me."

"Then thank you Ms. Margaret," said Li Zhiwen.

Mrs. Thatcher's words made Li Zhiwen happy. It seemed that Mrs. Thatcher was very satisfied with the conversation.

After that, Mrs. Thatcher left. After all, it was a cocktail party and invited many businessmen. Mrs. Thatcher's privatization reform must rely on these people to succeed, so she needs to establish good relations with all parties.

The Duke of Bedford took Gris Russell forward and said, "Hello, let me introduce myself. I am the Duke of Bedford, named John Russell. This is my daughter Gris Russell, Mr. Lee. Thank you very much for your help on the plane."

Li Zhiwen was surprised when Mrs. Thatcher said that the identity of the visitor was revealed. It turned out that this Grace Russell was the daughter of the Duke, so no wonder she could go out for a trip with the crown prince's girlfriend.

However, Li Zhiwen had always thought that this girl was at most the daughter of the Earl, after all, Princess Diana's father was just a viscount at this time.

"The Duke of Bedford was joking. Gris thought so beautifully that no one would let such a beautiful lady die." Li Zhiwen said.

Li Zhiwen's words not only meant that this rescue was a very small thing, but also praised Grace Russell from the side. I believe Grece Russell was very happy. Anyone who was praised for her beauty could be seen from the smile on Grace Russell's face.

Li Zhiwen's words made Duke Bedford very satisfied, but this was not enough. Duke Bedford still had many doubts about the plane incident, so Duke Bedford asked: "Mr. Li, I have heard Grace describe the process of your understanding. I really want to know why you want to know my daughter and what are your intentions."

The Duke of Bedford himself did not realize that his tone was getting more and more serious.

In fact, Duke Bedford's words made Li Zhiwen very dissatisfied. I saved your daughter, you were still wary of me, but Li Zhiwen knew that he could not be angry, so Li Zhiwen smiled and said, "Duke Bedford, maybe your daughter is too charming, and I was embarrassed to pick up a chat, so I had to find my female companion to help me. As for the attempt, I just wanted to know your daughter simply."

Li Zhiwen's words made Gris Russell feel excited. He asked the girl that didn't want to be praised for being beautiful by others, so he took Duke Bedford's hand and said, "Father, you don't have to ask the bottom of it. Didn't I tell you all about the situation in the middle? And you came here and said that you could help Mr. Li, why did you specifically ask this and that?"

Gris Russell's words made the Duke of Bedford's interrogation lose its deterrence. The Duke of Bedford could only sigh and said, "Mr. Li, that's right, my housekeeper said your company is seeking to acquire the Financial Times?"

Li Zhiwen is no longer surprised by the words of Duke Bedford. After all, he has such a great force in the UK, so it is appropriate to find out these things.

"Yes, I am the chairman of Mars Capital, but the company has other capital. Mars Capital is currently seeking to acquire the Financial Times, but Pearson Education Group currently has no intention to sell it, so I am also very anxious." Li Zhiwen said as if he was distressed.

Li Zhiwen knew that Duke Bedford would not talk about this for no reason, and must have wanted to repay his kindness with this, but this was much better for Duke Bedford to say it himself than Li Zhiwen.

"Hmph, there is no shortage of Pearson Education Group, how can it be sold to you? Moreover, the consortium behind Pearson Education Group is too complicated and it can't be done in one go." said the Duke of Bedford.

"What can I do to teach me?" Li Zhiwen knew that Duke Bedford was waiting for this sentence. Li Zhiwen had no dignity or anything, so how much money could it be worth? Besides, Duke Bedford did not humiliate himself.

"I will do this for you, and I will treat you as reward for saving my daughter." said the Duke of Bedford.

"The Duke said this and underestimated me. I saved Ling Ai for reward? It's because she is my friend. I don't need you like this." Li Zhiwen said as if he was just a righteous person.

Li Zhiwen knew that the Duke of Bedford wanted a one-time deal. How could Li Zhiwen make him come true? It would be a great place to rely on a big tree to enjoy the cool air.

"That's right, dad, why is Mr. Li such a person? He didn't know who I was when he saved me." Gris Russell, who was standing beside him, also interrupted.

Li Zhiwen secretly praised in his heart, God assists, sisters.

The Duke of Bedford looked at his stupid daughter, sighed inwardly, and held her forehead. Why didn't he find her daughter so stupid before?

"Okay, okay, I'm just helping as a friend." said the Duke of Bedford.

"Then I would like to thank the Duke!" Li Zhiwen said hurriedly without any airs at this time.

Then Li Zhiwen continued to say to Grace Russell: "Gris, you said you were a Lakers fan before. I just had a phone call with the Lakers management yesterday. The Lakers have swept the Suns to advance to the second round."

"Really, that's great!" Gris Russell said happily.

"I'm not going to sell the first row of seats in the Lakers Arena. At that time, I'll ask the management to leave you an exclusive seat so you can go over and watch the game from time to time." Li Zhiwen said.

"Really, thank you, Mr. Li!" said Grace Russell.

"It's all a trivial matter, and Grace, don't call me Mr. Li. My English name is Carl, you can call me Carl directly." Li Zhiwen said.

In Hong Kong, English names are very popular, so Li Zhiwen has always been in English, but it has never been useful.

"No problem, Carl!" said Grace Russell.

"In addition, I am going to buy a Premier League team. You said before that you also like football. I hope you can join my company and participate in this project. This will be a great decision." Li Zhiwen said.

"Really? Carl, can I?" Gris Russell said happily.

"Of course, I can't ask for it!" Li Zhiwen said with a smile.

"I agreed, Carl, thank you for your invitation. I also happened to have a topic to do, and that's just right." Gris Russell said.

The Duke of Bedford looked at his happy daughter and shook his head. He had never noticed that his daughter was so stupid before.
