Chapter 754 Social Season

Towards the end of May, Cameron once again announced a series of appointments, including the director of MI6, the secret intelligence service.

Veteran intelligence officer Alex Young is to be the new director of MI6.

As Barron said to his intelligence adviser Nigel Inkster, before this, he had a secret meeting with Alex Young. After that, this man in the British intelligence system A highly qualified and experienced intelligence officer came into Cameron's sight, and was eventually appointed as the director of MI6. It can be said that he has achieved the highest position among British intelligence officers.

"So John Smith's troubles are over for now?"

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 whether he gave up the investigation and there was no definite progress for the time being, at least the Sinclair Group will not be harassed. Too big an impact.”

After the last meeting with John Smith, Barron did not ask him about the follow-up of this matter - he did not want to give the other party the illusion that he was "also involved" in this matter, but only learned about it through Ivanta some situations.

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 had 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 events 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 has lived in the United States most of her life, she is from a British aristocratic family after all, and she has participated in this event every year since she was a child, so she will not miss it as long as she has 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 Barron still proposed She will accompany him to attend, but it seems that his ex-wife would rather be at home with his children...

Richard is still too young and will be accompanied by Bonnie at home, while Barron will take his and Bonnie's first son, George Cavendish, heir to the Duke of Devonshire to attend. these activities.

"If possible, I don't really want to go to those activities..."

At Earl Bute's house, Countess Chris, Bonnie and Jenny were chatting about the social season activities, while Barron was talking to Earl Bute about King's Cross at the bar.

"I passed by there a few days ago and felt that the construction in King's Cross seemed a bit too slow. It was not much different from what I saw half a year ago..."

After hearing Barron's complaint, Earl Bute shrugged:

"This is London. The main reason was that construction was too slow during the previous winter. Now it has begun to speed up..."

Ian Butt said helplessly:

"After all, here, many projects have too many people who have their say. Environmental protection, cultural protection and even community associations will constantly give opinions and let us modify the plan. Although it is not difficult to deal with, it will also affect our construction. The progress..."

“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 Bute smiled and said:

"Of course, what you are focusing on now are the big projects, but speaking of it, after developing in the Asian market, I am very optimistic about the potential there. Several projects in Mumbai are satisfactory, um, there are some high-end areas there. Not bad, as long as you ignore the ghettos..."

While Barron was talking to Earl Bute, he noticed the look that Jenny looked at him from the side of the woman, which 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:

"Come 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 long study with her and the countess? What are you trying to do?

"Didn't you say last time that you had some toys in Neverland? I'd love to see them."

Well, Barron was a little suspicious. I am afraid that she came to London this time not really to participate in the social season, but because she had some fever symptoms and wanted to give him a few more injections...

…

"I heard you are going on a round-the-world voyage?"

In the basement of Barron's villa on Dream Island, after Jenny had tried many interesting toys as she wished, she asked Barron weakly.

"It's not a round-the-world voyage. For the time being, we are preparing to depart from London and go to Colo in West Africa."

"When will we leave?"

"After the Royal Ascot next month..."

"Such an interesting thing, I want to participate too."

Last year, Colo purchased two Type 23 frigates from England. After that, the two frigates, named "Britta" and "Loti", were renovated in the shipyard in England, and the Colo Corps also sent some personnel to receive training.

It was originally supposed to be completed in May, but due to many reasons, the construction period was extended. Therefore, the two frigates and some related equipment will be completed in early July and depart from England to Colo.

Barron is also ready to take this opportunity to take his female companions on his super yacht "Devonshire Poseidon" and follow the two frigates to complete the voyage from England to Colo, West Africa.

On the one hand, he can take this opportunity to experience the feeling of sailing. After all, he has not carried out a decent ocean voyage since he ordered this super yacht.

On the other hand, it will be very safe to follow the two warships at that time.

According to the plan, Barron's female companions will include Bonnie, the Countess, Catherine and others, as well as his children-Tamaran Ecclestone should have completed the birth by then, and can also participate.

Now Jenny has heard about the plan of this voyage from Bonnie and others, and strongly requested to participate, but Barron doesn't care.

After all, the "Devonshire Poseidon" is big enough to accommodate more people.
