The people at the table, although their mouths were not as boastful as Tian Xing’s, were hoping in their hearts that the bodyguard sent by the king had come to call them.
Suppose we can have a close contact with the king, and blow the whisper in front of him, our own family is likely to get a bigger share of the 5 billion US dollars!
The king’s bodyguard came up to the table, which was full of people looking at him with eyes full of light, except for Leroy Davis.
The bodyguard smiled slightly, nodded to the crowd and walked between Leroy Davis and Ma Yang.
The others had a cold heart, the king came to find someone other than himself, but really as Tian Xing said, it was Ma Yang Ma Shao.
The rich kids at one table, as well as other tables who noticed here, were particularly envious and jealous of Ma Yang in their hearts.
Ma Yang’s heart was secretly happy, as happy as winning a million lottery tickets, thinking: “This table, our family is the strongest, and last time I met with the King of Brunei, although I only spoke 2 sentences, less than 1 minute, but my good cultivation left a deep impression on the King, that’s why he came to call me today especially”
Just as Mayang was thinking beautiful thoughts in his mind, he saw the bodyguard bend slightly to Leroy Davis, spoke a Malay language, and reached out to the king in a gesture of invitation.
Leroy Davis understood that the bouncer wanted him to go to the king’s table, and he had not wanted to sit at this table for a long time, so he stood up and followed the bouncer to leave and sat down at the king’s table.
The people at Mayang’s table were confused, they looked at each other in astonishment, they all did not expect that the person the King of Brunei had asked his bodyguard to invite was Leroy Davis!
They were expecting to see that the King of Brunei signaled that the bodyguard was looking for the wrong person, but it didn’t happen!
A group of people felt so humiliated and embarrassed that they didn’t know what to say.
The most embarrassed Ma Yang said first: “The King of Brunei is religious, he must have seen that that boy is the poorest person in the whole hall! That’s why he had compassion and called him over”
Others in the audience could only agree with Ma Yang, they could not think that the king was looking for Leroy Davis to talk business, right? A few people immediately followed Ma Yang’s words and said:
“That’s right! The king is pitying that kid, I don’t know if that brat has seen the world, that table and the king, and the governor, and the secretary, like us, the rich young man went over, it is sure to talk and laugh, and he may stammer a complete sentence!”
“Don’t get scared and pee your pants for good!”
“I have a different view, the king called the boy over, is to help him go on a blind date, you do not see, the king has an ugly girl beside him, to say that these two people are really compatible, do you say ah? Ha ha”
The people at Mayang’s table laughed happily.
The King of Brunei called Leroy Davis to his side, he remembered the days when Huang Chunshui was in the state guesthouse, he was very good to Leroy Davis, plus Huang Chunshui asked him to take care of Leroy Davis’ last wish, the King of Brunei was very good to Leroy Davis.
As soon as Leroy Davis came over, he asked the governor of Zhejiang province to give Leroy Davis a seat, and then through Lin Zhu interpreter, talked to Leroy Davis, other high officials at the table, such as the governor of Zhejiang province, secretary, minister, etc., the King of Brunei ignored all of them!
Leroy Davis first asked the King of Brunei to mourn, the King of Brunei looked gloomy, nodded, after a few seconds, said through Lin Zhu: “Leroy Davis, you are my wife’s disciple, I will not treat you badly, you go back to Brunei with me, I let you be a high official, give you 5 million U. S. dollars a year, the beauty of Brunei at will, you see how? ”
Leroy Davis was slightly startled, then smiled and shook his head and said to the king, “Thank you for your kindness, King, but I prefer to be in my own country, and you see I may not be very well dressed, but really, I’m not short of money!”
Lin Zhu was slightly surprised to hear Leroy Davis’ words, she did not translate to the king, but confirmed to Leroy Davis again in a low voice: “Leroy Davis, going back with the king, you will have no worries in your life, do you really want to refuse the king’s kind offer?”
Leroy Davis nodded.
Lin Zhu looked at Leroy Davis and sighed, translating Leroy Davis’ words to the king.
The king couldn’t help but look at Leroy Davis all over again and thought, “Your ladyship is indeed right, this young boy has ambition!”
The king was so fond of Leroy Davis that he reached out and patted Leroy Davis on both arms for encouragement.
The leaders present saw that Leroy Davis had turned down such a generous offer from the king, and their hearts were secretly praising and marveling at Leroy Davis. The king seemed to value this young man, and what this was all about was beyond anyone’s understanding.
After eating for a while, the king thought to himself, although Leroy Davis refused his kindness, but Huang Huang Chunshui asked him to take good care of Leroy Davis before he died, if nothing was done, the king’s heart was overwhelmed.
He had an idea in mind, and after calculating it twice in his mind and thinking it was feasible, he smiled at the governor of Zhejiang province and said two words in Malay.
Lin Zhu immediately gave the translation: “Governor, later the king wants to award a Brunei National Medal of Honor for one of the people present, after awarding the medal, immediately announced the 5 billion U. S. dollars investment in the city!”
The leaders present were all heartened, and the governor of Zhejiang Province smiled and said, “Good, no problem, I wonder which one of the people here does His Majesty the King want to present the medal to?”
As the governor of Zhejiang Province spoke, he looked around at the personnel of the major clans.
The King of Brunei hesitated slightly, he wanted to award this Medal of Honor to Leroy Davis, but looking at the look of the governor of Zhe Province, he thought he was going to award it to someone else!
It would be hard to say directly that it was Leroy Davis, inevitably hurting the governor’s feelings.
The King of Brunei had to say that he saw so many young talents come today, his heart very much like, ode to the Medal of Honor is only a temporary intention, the specific award to which person, he also did not think out.
The governor of Zhejiang Province said, “So that’s how it is, I have a proposal, the king may not know the people here very well either, why don’t we let them show you, and then His Majesty the king will decide who the Medal of Honor should be awarded to”
The King of Brunei nodded his head in agreement. The governor of Zhejiang province immediately stood up and announced to all present that the King of Brunei would choose a person on the spot to extol the Medal of Honor, and to avoid a large number of people, each family would send a representative to present it.
The members of the major families present were elated, they were all sons of wealthy families and naturally knew how precious this national medal of honor was.
For example, Li Ka-shing has won the French National Order of Merit, Putin has won the Chinese Order of Merit, Brunei is a small country, but after all, it is a country, can get this medal, naturally good!
There was a lot of talk, and people immediately started talking to their own families about who should represent them.
Soon, nearly 20 families present elected representatives, the vast majority of them are young people in their 20s, but there are also the head of a family out to choose, such as the Yu family, Yu Ming did not come, had to his old son Yu Zhihe to show.
The King of Brunei also had his men bring back the National Medal of Honor, only to see a treasure blue box with an irregular octagonal medal, with the head of Brunei’s founding US Marshal in the middle of the medal, surrounded by petal-like decorations, with a circle of bright, sparkling diamonds set on the very edge.
The governor of Zhejiang province acted as the moderator, he stood up and said to the crowd on stage, “Now starting from my left hand side, each representative will make a one minute presentation and finally the king will decide the medal, let’s begin!”
The first one to stand up was a smiling rich kid who said, “Greetings, Your Majesty, our family almost holds the retail industry in Lin’an …”
Next, each family is shown in turn.
Yu Zhihe said: “… Yu family is now the leading large family in Lin’an … we do a lot of good deeds every year … ”
Cao Ning: “… Cao Ning’s ancestors have produced 2 inspectors, 2 Xiucai …”
Sun Jian: “… if I am fortunate enough to receive the Medal of Honor, I can definitely make a greater contribution to Chinese friendship …”
Ma Yang: “… the first time I met with Your Majesty, I was deeply impressed by your insight, I think I have a destiny with you, King, and I am very much looking forward to receiving your appreciation …”
…
In less than 20 minutes, everyone was finished.
The governor of Zhejiang Province looked at the King of Brunei and smiled, “Your Majesty, have you decided in your mind who the National Medal of Honor will be awarded to?”
The King of Brunei didn’t even listen to what the man before him had to say as he gently tapped Leroy Davis on the shoulder and gestured for him to speak as well.
The whole audience was confused about what the king meant. The medal would not be awarded to a poor man selling pancakes, right?
Seeing Leroy Davis stand up, the rest of the group covered their mouths and laughed, but they didn’t dare to laugh out loud so as not to disrespect the king.
The king was displeased when he saw the smiles in the eyes of the others.
Leroy Davis said, “I’m just an ordinary young man in China, I earned my tuition and living expenses for school, and I also sold pancakes on the street for 2 months this summer …”
Even though the others had held back, a few of them burst out laughing.
They whispered in private:
“It’s a shame, he’s no match for us.”
“Yeah, he’s not still thinking he might get the Medal of Honor, is he?”
“Sit down, the king just took pity on him, he really thinks he’s an onion”
…
The king asked Lin Zhu what the men were whispering about, and Lin Zhu translated their words, word for word, to the king.
The king knew what they said and couldn’t help but grimace.
The others noticed the king’s look, and they thought it was Leroy Davis’ statement that had made him angry, and whispered below:
“Look, you guys, the king’s face is darkening.”
“This kid is a rat turd!”
“If he screws up this investment, let’s join forces and kill him.”
…
The governor of Zhejiang province invited the king to walk to the stage, and one of his men carried that wooden box and stood in front of the king, and all eyes were focused on him, and they all expected to hear their names from the king’s mouth.
The king slowly spoke, he spoke a few words in Malay, then walked to the stage and personally pulled Leroy Davis on stage, Lin Zhu translated from the side, “The king said he decided to award this National Medal of Honor to Mr. Leroy Davis!”
Are you serious? To Leroy Davis?
There was an immediate outcry from the audience, all of whom couldn’t figure out how the King of Brunei could be so rash as to award the medal to a brat like Leroy Davis who snuck in!
How did the King of Brunei think about it when all of them here were not a hundred times more qualified than Leroy Davis? Most people were talking incredulously, forgetting for a moment that the king and the governor were still here.
“It’s too much, isn’t it? Giving it to that kid?”
“It’s okay that our He family was not selected, but the Yu family and the Ma family were not selected either, how is it possible?”
“Our top 20 families in Lin’an have lost to a poor boy, this is a joke when it gets out”
“No, for the sake of the dignity of our 20 great families, we must not let the medal ode go to that brat!”
…
