Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 271 The Thoughts of Fake Marriage

Fortunately, although Margaret was excited, she held it back in the end and did not really pounce on Chu Qianqian.

A few years ago, the news broke that this girl was in a relationship with a married man because she acted a little intimate with her first love in public.

She was so criticized at the time that the Anglican Church once asked her to withdraw from the guild.

After learning the lesson, Margaret could only suppress her excitement and lowered her hat to block her pretty face from looking at Chu Qianqian.

Chu Xiangqian was also in a very good mood at this time. Seeing Margaret looking at him affectionately, he could only smile and nod, and walked to the private room on the pretext of attending the award ceremony.

Margaret understood, looked around and saw everyone staring at the track, quietly stepped back and followed into the private room.

Then Chu Qianqian pulled him to the corner, lowered his head and started to smell the fragrance.

It's a pity that the two of them didn't have much time, only five or six seconds. Through the sight of the tit, he saw Ge Bai laughing and congratulating each other. Chu Qianqian could only let go of Margaret who was hugging his neck.

He said quickly in a low voice, "Let's go to the track to get our medal photos."

Margaret nodded angrily, followed Chu Qianqian and quickly walked out of the private room, and heard Ge Bai and others walking in talking and laughing.

Naturally, Chu Xiangqian would not actually take pictures with Margaret, lest their photos appear in the newspaper, which would inevitably cause trouble.

After wandering outside for a minute, he returned to the private room, took Norton away, and asked him to be the horse owner.

As for the reason, I have said before that if my horse is on the track, the Mountbatten family emblem will be printed on the horse and rider clothes.

Since time was tight this time and he couldn't do this, letting him go to receive the award and take photos could be regarded as fulfilling his promise.

Margaret was a little dissatisfied. She didn't mind appearing in public at all.

Unfortunately, thinking about the relationship with Chu Xiangqian, I had no choice but to give up unhappily.

Of course, Norton agreed wholeheartedly. When the audience saw that another ghost came to accept the award, some felt unhappy, some were envious, but few of them were surprised.

However, Norton is still young after all. When interviewed by reporters, he took the initiative to say that he was not the horse owner, but was invited to accept the award on behalf of the horse owner.

But when the reporter asked who "Stark" was on the horse owner's list, Norton just smiled and did not reveal Chu Xiangqian's Chinese name.

As for why it was called Stark, it was naturally Chu Xiangqian’s bad taste. He even thought of writing Tony Stark when he first thought about it.

I wonder if I can sue Marvel after the Iron Man comic character is drawn in a few years.

But if his name is really Tony Stark, then his surname will no longer be 'Chu'.

Of course, you can also call him Tony Stark-Chu, but it sounds awkward.

After receiving the prize, the horse left the track and was led to the stables. Chu Xiangqian was already waiting outside the stables with Zhang Tianzhi.

When Lindsay saw her boss appear, she thanked her excitedly. Chu Qianqian encouraged her and confirmed that she would become the designated rider of the Guardian Knight.

His eyes couldn't help but focus on Old Wood.

The old man looked a little thin, and his hair and beard were a little gray, but he was in good spirits.

Seeing Chu looking at him forward, the old man hurriedly said, "SIR, I am Perez Wood. I am a horse trainer with 20 years of experience. You can just call me Old Wood."

Chu Xiangqian shook hands with him and asked a lot of questions. The Woods and their daughters soon realized that Chu Xiangqian most likely planned to let his father and daughter serve as the team leaders of the 'Guardian Knights'.

And the fact that the rider and the horse trainer are father and daughter can also reduce a lot of unnecessary disputes in the team.

The three of them followed the stable boy and sent the horse into an independent stable, watching the stable boy and Lindsay borrow the saddle, horse clothing and other horse equipment.

We chatted for almost half an hour.

Chu Xiangqian also roughly knew what Old Wood was thinking. The old man had somewhat neglected Lindsay's mother when he was young.

When he found out that his wife was terminally ill and wanted to save her and regret it, he didn't have much time left.

For this reason, his two sons and daughters did not have a very good attitude towards him.

He left the ranch to his two sons to take care of, while he worked with Lindsay, who dreamed of going on the track.

It’s just that the dream of a female rider, even a champion female rider, is basically a dream in this era.

But the daughter's dream did not come true, but the relationship between the two greatly improved.

So for Lao Wood, Chu Xiangqian was the benefactor who helped him fulfill his daughter's dream.

Besides, the benefits brought by the champion caravan to the trainers and riders are quite a lot.

By convention, the champion trainer gets 10% of the prize money, and the assistant trainer and the rest of the team get 10%.

The number of champion riders is also 10%. Even if it is slightly different from place to place, the difference will not be big.

Just like here on Hong Kong Island, the trainer gets 9.2%, the team gets 10.8%, and the rider remains the same at 10%.

The remaining 70% belongs to the horse owner.

But the problem now is that Chu Xiangqian’s horse has not received the service and training of the trainer or team. Before Lindsay, let alone the champion rider, it was a luxury to hope to be able to compete.

So after a simple discussion, the father and daughter shared 15% of the bonus equally, and the team they formed in the future would still receive 10%.

Old Wood and his daughter had no objections to this at all, and even felt that they had taken advantage of it.

After all, even if Chu Xiangqian only gave Lindsay 5%, she would agree and be grateful to Chu Xiangqian.

Judging from the result that the Guardian Knight ran today, in 1:34, even if it goes to the American Triple Crown track, there is a high probability of winning.

If he trains hard for a period of time and cultivates the tacit understanding between Lindsay and the horse, it is not impossible to improve his performance by half a second.

If you can run under 1 minute and 34 seconds and win one or two championships, that's a sure shot.

Of course, if there are other horses that can break the record in the same period, there will be many variables.

After calling Huang Weixin over again and signing several contracts, Old Wood immediately suggested, "SIR, I strongly suggest giving up the England Triple Crown event and going to Kentucky in advance instead.

While training and adapting to the local climate, he is preparing to participate in the Kendaji Derby in mid-May. "

Chu Qianqian was still hesitating when he heard footsteps behind him, and then saw Margaret walking over angrily.

"Champion Knights can only participate in the English Triple Crown."

After saying that, he hugged Chu Qianqian's arm and twisted it around and said, "My dear, you promised me to send the champion knight to England to compete."

Chu Qianqian was stunned. It seemed that after the Guardian Knight won the championship, Margaret had already planned to change its name.

I just don’t know if the Jockey Club will agree to change the name?

"NONONO", Old Wood immediately retorted, "only three-year-old horses can participate in the American Triple Crown. England's Triple Crown can wait until the guardian knight is 4 years old next year before participating."

After speaking, looking at the horse owner Chu Qianqian, Old Wood said in a very excited tone, "BOSS, think about it, there has never been a horse that has won the Triple Crown of the United States and England at the same time.

If this achievement is achieved, we will all be recorded in history. "

Chu Xiangqian didn't care, because he had many good horses.

If I miss out on the American Triple Crown this year, the worst I can do is send another horse to compete next year.

There is no need to worry about not winning the Triple Crown between the Americans and the British.

Even as long as you are willing, you can use a new horse in the novice village to upgrade it to two levels, add some points in physical fitness and agility, and you can win all competitions.

Margaret began to hesitate. In her eyes, the champion knight was the symbol of love between herself and Chu Xiangqian.The better the horse's performance, the stronger and better the love between the two.

"My dear, why don't you just listen to this gentleman?"

Chu Xiangqian shook his head, "NO, I will not change what I promised you. In a few days, we will be ready to airlift the champion knight to London."

Margaret suddenly felt like her whole body was in a state of excitement. When she looked at Chu's forward gaze, it was one that was eager and full of love.

Old Wood wanted to persuade him again, but was stopped by Chu Xiangqian's stern eyes.

The old guy suddenly became dissatisfied. Fortunately, when Lindsay was in contact with the newly renamed Champion Knight yesterday, she faintly heard someone calling Her Royal Highness Margaret.

He hurriedly grabbed his biological father, even pulled him aside and introduced him in a low voice.

After hearing this, Old Wood looked at Chu Qianqian and Margaret, who was almost hanging on Chu Qianqian, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

After being shocked, the old man cursed secretly, understanding that Chu Xiangqian really had no reason to break his promise in front of Margaret.

Then his eyes lit up. If his father and daughter had the opportunity to join the royal family, whether they were looking forward to a chance, receiving royal honors, or gaining or losing benefits, it seemed to be an excellent opportunity.

Turning back to Lindsay, he asked in a low voice, "Dear, are you sure you heard me right?"

"Dad, how could something like this go wrong?" Lindsay rolled her eyes. "Ge Bai from the Hong Kong Island Police Department was at the scene yesterday. If anyone dared to impersonate, they would have been arrested and sent to prison."

Old Wood now admired Chu Qianqian, the new boss, and became more and more determined to follow Chu Qianqian.

After Chu Xiangqian took care of Margaret, he asked Zhang Tianzhi to guard the stable door, and he entered the stable alone, and the tits also flew in secretly and circled around.

After confirming that no one was around, he took the champion knight into the novice village, walked to the drugstore, and spent 1 gold coupon to buy a blood bottle that only appeared after level 10.

Pour it into the mouth of the champion knight, and all the hidden injuries on the horse's body will immediately recover.

Of course, dark damage will not be displayed in the game, but blood dissatisfaction.

But when the health is full and you appear in the real world, any damage will be healed.

In less than ten seconds, Chu Xiangqian brought the champion knight back to the stable, and the horse suddenly screamed with joy.

Chu Qianqian patted the horse's neck with a smile and whispered, "Okay, okay, from now on, when you finish a race, I will give you some blood."

So, after you get on the field, just run hard and fast, and you must get first place, you know? "

As if he understood, the champion knight kept nodding his head and nuzzling Chu Qiang with his horse's face.

Chu Xiangqian laughed loudly and played with the horse for a while before walking out of the stable.

Instruct Old Wood to set up a professional team as soon as possible, and the team members must also have security tasks.

For this reason, Chu Xiangqian didn't mind Lao Wood and recruited two bodyguards to double as grooms.

As for the salary, it is only a few hundred Hong Kong dollars more every month, and the business trip subsidy is also several hundred.

Over the course of a year, the team's basic salary and travel allowance alone may cost tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars.

No wonder horse racing is a sport for the rich.

Old Wood naturally had no objection to this, and he was even willing to live and eat with the champion knight.

Lest the opportunity for both father and daughter to prosper be ruined by the jealousy and malice of outsiders.

As she left the stable, Margaret whispered, "Honey, I can't wait any longer, how about we sneak out this afternoon?"

When Chu Xiangqian heard this, he knew that this girl was in love.

Recalling the room layout of the Peninsula Hotel, he said with a smile, "When you go to bed tonight, remember to open some windows, and I will find an opportunity to crawl into your bedroom."

Margaret immediately shook her head, "No, it's too dangerous."

Chu Xiangqian felt warm in his heart and reassured him again and again, "Don't worry. In addition to being good at kung fu, I'm also a master in outdoor sports. Not to mention climbing walls, I often climb cliffs."

Margaret was stunned and suddenly became curious about Chu Xiangqian's past.

The two of them walked and talked until they saw an outsider appear, then they separated by half a meter and continued walking and talking.

When getting into the car, Margaret didn't want to be separated from him at all. "My dear, are you busy this afternoon?"

Chu nodded forward, "The movie is finished shooting and the editing is almost done. I want to go to the studio to see how the final film looks like."

Margaret's eyes lit up, "Take me there, I also want to see for the first time whether you are as handsome in the movie as you are now."

Chu Qianqian laughed, thought for a moment and asked, "Won't your followers object?"

Margaret smiled proudly, "I made an agreement with my sister and mother yesterday that as long as I don't mess around in the future, they don't care who I make friends with.

But..." When speaking of this, Margaret's face darkened. Chu Xiangqian thought about it and guessed that it must be related to her future marriage.

Unless she never gets married and doesn't make her relationship public, she can only marry an Englishman.

But Chu Xiangqian knew in his heart that love may be beautiful, but time will change a lot.

Maybe after a few years, Margaret will get tired of the reality of being separated.

Or she might meet a man who can also make her heart beat.

Therefore, Chu Xiangqian had always been very clear-headed. It was okay to maintain a relationship with her secretly, but forget about the rest.

"Okay, okay, let time decide about the future, we just enjoy the life now."

Margaret also knew in her heart that it was impossible for her to marry Chu Xiangqian, or even make their relationship public.

For a moment, she had the idea of ​​finding an English man for a fake marriage.

And based on her understanding of the aristocratic circle, many nobles don't care whether their wives have lovers, and many even don't like women at all, but they have to pretend to be men.

The most direct example is that my brother-in-law not only has another woman, but there are also rumors that he has an illegitimate child.

Margaret really couldn't understand why her sister could still tolerate the other party.

But now, she kind of understands.

After all, when my sister was only 13 years old, she was attracted by her brother-in-law's tall and handsome appearance.

So if you think about it carefully, if you want to maintain this relationship with your sweetheart, it seems that you really have to give up some things that you don't want to face.

However, this thought was only for a moment. Margaret was just thinking about it now and did not really make a decision.

If Chu Qianqian knew what she was thinking, he would definitely give her a thumbs up.

It must be nonsense to say how much I love Margaret.

But it would be a lie to say that he was not attracted to her. After all, although Margaret was not absolutely beautiful, she was young and beautiful, and her temperament was even better.

Coupled with the bonus brought by her status, even a man can't say that he has no idea about her.

After getting into Margaret's car, the motorcade arrived outside the Diamond Mountain studio. Chu Qianqian asked the driver to stop the car before the motorcade entered.

"Peggy, you take my car, otherwise I won't even watch the film. It will be hard to think about it after watching it."

Margaret is not stupid. The entry of a luxury motorcade will definitely cause a sensation.
