Mixed In the United States As a Local Tyrant

  Chapter 129 Hometown

  The trip to London ended on the second day.

   Time is running out, Joanna needs to visit relatives and friends and pay homage to her father. So the next morning, An Feng went to the local car rental agency to rent a scooter. Although the British railway system is developed, it is uncomfortable to take the train and the degree of freedom is not high. He wants to enjoy the scenery while driving.

But they didn’t make a reservation, and there were a lot of tourists coming to the UK in August and September, so the rest of the car dealerships were compact cars, or Minis or Beetles. I wanted to rent a medium-sized car, an ordinary BMW 3 series None of them can be ranked. After getting out of the garage, Joanna continued to look for the route.

  An Feng looked up at the sky. The weather in London was unpredictable, with a few dark clouds floating above his head. It seemed that light rain was possible. According to Joanna's idea, it was best to arrive in Oxfordshire before noon, as time was running out. He knew the best way was to call Global Service.

  It is unrealistic to call the plane. American Express can call the plane, but it takes longer, after all, it is not native to the United States. I consulted the shift secretary about some things. It is really inconvenient to rent a car recently... An Feng had an idea. After hanging up the phone, he pulled Joanna to the side of the road to stop the car: "Come with me."

  Joanna asked: "Have you found a suitable car dealer?"

  An Feng smiled mysteriously: "There is a better way."

Joanna went in without knowing it. An Feng pulled her into the car and gave a place name. Ten minutes later, the taxi stopped and got off after paying the fare. An Feng raised his hand and pointed: "Look! There are a lot of people here. Car? There are convertible ones, closed ones, two-door and four-door ones, and you don’t need to make an appointment.”

  Joanna was stunned when she saw it.

  Aston Martin's exclusive store.

  An Feng smiled and pulled her into the store, and was warmly received by the salesperson. While visiting the models on sale, An Feng asked about the temporary license plate, and learned that the temporary license plate can be completed in five minutes, which is very convenient. Joanna pulled him aside: "Is this your way?"

  An Feng shrugged: "Otherwise, what else can I do?"

   "Buy a car directly?" Joanna asked again.

   "Of course." An Feng glanced at the cars in the exhibition hall, "Isn't it suitable for a sports car of pure British origin to drive on the British country lanes?"

An Feng took Joanna, who was still talking, to test the car, and said: "I said that you will only be responsible for enjoying your life. This is a promise, so don't think about other things, just accept what I bring to you, and I will handle the rest. Also, please rest assured that this car can be donated to charity when it is used up."

   This answer is okay, donations are tax deductible.

The Aston Martin Vanquish that has been photographed is only two hundred thousand pounds, which is worth three hundred thousand U.S. dollars. It can be said that it is still far from An Feng's plan to spend at least half of the one billion yuan... An Feng asked his wife to get in the car, and drove the dewy white sports car away in a cool manner.

   Fill up the gas and follow the GPS prompt to drive towards Oxfordshire.

  …

  Oxfordshire is not too far from London, and perhaps there is a reason why the UK is not too big. It is a distance of hundreds of kilometers. The road is full of the common rural style in the UK, with vast fields, lush green trees, and roads with few vehicles. The sports car is very free to drive.

   "The scenery is so beautiful." An Feng said while driving, the California driver's license came in handy, because this is an English-speaking country, although the right-hand drive car is a bit uncomfortable.

  Driving in the UK is different from that in the United States. The driver’s seat is on the right, and the driving habit is always a bit inclined to the left. Fortunately, there are not many cars on the road, so it’s okay to be distracted and talk.

After hearing An Feng's praise, Joanna smiled: "The British countryside has always been beautiful. It is said that the British nobles regard themselves as countrymen, because both their castles and land are far away from the city and the hustle and bustle. A place where you can enjoy life quietly and low-key.”

  An Feng asked: "Your previous home was in Oxford?"

  Joanna nodded: "A little further north, near Warwickshire, is a beautiful countryside, but it's not my home anymore."

  An Feng looked at her and tried to say: "If you can't let it go, I can help you rebuild a complete English-style manor here."

  Joanna said: "No, as long as you are there."

   "Ouch." An Feng joked, "Please don't be silly when driving, you know that I am very uncomfortable with right-hand drive cars."

  Joanna laughed: "You are so kind, you always make people relax."

   "That's why I am called 'Little Prince Optimistic'." An Feng said with a smile, "Prince, is it worthy of you?"

  …

   All the way to Oxfordshire easily, followed the GPS navigator through the ancient city of Oxford. Oxford in Oxfordshire, when it comes to it, has a strong sense of books and history. The famous Oxford University is located here. The city and the campus are integrated. The school is in the city, and the city is also in the school.

The taste of local history is very strong, it is a relaxed environment, but it is just a quick glance, without stopping, leaving Oxford, going to an unknown place, the road is sparsely populated and the trees are lush, almost every household has a few trees planted, rich Residential green surroundings.

Finally, I drove into a small town and drove to an ordinary two-story house. The owner of the house came out after hearing the sound of the car. It was an old British man with gray hair but full of energy. He was wearing a gray suit and vest. After the car stopped, he stepped forward and opened the passenger door, and gave Joanna his arm. She smiled and supported her, and got out of the car. Then the white-haired old man commanded An Feng to stop with a loud voice.

  After getting off the car, An Feng stepped forward to shake hands with the old man: "Hi, Mr. Brandon, I'm Bruce."

   "Hello, Mr. An." Brandon looked at him with a smile, and made a gesture of invitation: "It's been a long way, you must have worked hard, please come in."

Arthur Brandon is the relative Joanna wanted to meet. Although they are not related by blood, Brandon, as the former earl's housekeeper, almost watched Joanna grow up, so Joanna's respect for him Respect, just like treating grandparents and elders, comes from the heart.

An Feng did a lot of homework, because what he was going to meet was the legendary noble stewards, they were called the noble teachers, they were more knowledgeable in etiquette than the nobles, and even astronomy and geography were involved, so they could completely learn at home. The master's clone works... It sounds amazing.

In reality, Brandon really showed his gentlemanly demeanor to the fullest. Even though he has been away from the manor for many years, he has taken care of a generation of earls and is well versed in the ways of the upper class. These habits have almost become instinctive, and all aspects of etiquette The manners are exemplary.

   After they were seated, Brandon poured black tea for them and served some biscuits and other snacks. Joanna was casual, talking about what she had seen and heard over the years, lively and optimistic, without the appearance of a noble lady. Maybe in front of the closest people, she will let go of herself and show her true side.

  Brandon is an unsmiling old man. His career as a professional housekeeper may have allowed him to develop this expression, but the expression on his brows stretched, it can be seen that he is very happy for Joanna's visit, and expressed his willingness to attend her invitation. He said: "It is my greatest honor to be able to attend Miss's wedding."

   Then he looked at An Feng: "Mr. An, congratulations on marrying such an elegant and virtuous lady."

  An Feng smiled: "Thank you, meeting Joanna is also the luckiest thing in my life."

  Joanna used this to say: "Mr. Brandon, don't you plan to continue your career?"

  Joanna is planning to ask Brandon to come out again. It is said that this kind of top butler who has really served nobles is favored by rich people all over the world. Their rarity is comparable to that of declining nobles. Therefore, at least an annual salary of more than 500,000 pounds can be hired.

An Feng also looked at him expectantly. In fact, he had long planned to hire a housekeeper. It would be best if he could have a CEO to manage the tedious affairs of the house. Besides, he has money, so he will not have a large number of full-time managers in the future. Gardeners, cooks, servants and bodyguards, I certainly can't manage them.

  Brandon smiled and said: "Thank you for your kindness, miss, but I have some private matters of my own recently, and I really don't have time to think about other things."

   "What a pity." Joanna was disappointed, "In my heart, you are the top candidate."

  Brandon nodded: "It's an honor for Miss to think so."

  …

The matter of asking the top butler to come out of the mountain is temporarily unknown. I stayed at Brandon’s house for one night, and the night was very quiet. The old butler sat in front of the piano and was very excited. Live happily ever after.

  The next morning, I left temporarily and drove to pay homage to Joanna's biological father.

On the way, I heard from her that her family has held the title of hereditary earl for seven generations. With time and wars and other factors, the Stanwell family has gradually decreased. Especially in the two world wars, her family sent all the young and middle-aged to fight. Few of them were able to come back, and they disappeared when they came to her father.

I feel that in terms of patriotism, the British nobles really like to lead the way, and proudly declare that the country is defended by them, and British history is the history of the nobility... An Feng glanced at Joanna, still not using the casualty rate for the nobility in his heart In place of doubts about mortality said.

   But in any case, regardless of the death rate or casualty rate, at least those powerful nobles did let their children and grandchildren rush to the battlefield to defend the motherland.

  The sports car drove to the place.

  The weather was a little gloomy, the sun disappeared, and the mood was a little heavy. They wore dark clothes and presented a few bouquets of flowers for their father.

Joanna said: "Not having an heir is something that he regrets all his life. He was very strict with me when he was a child, but I know this is what is expected of me. He knows what will happen in the future, but it is difficult for him to change. He can only use his own way. Come to train me and make my life easier."

  An Feng said: "He will be proud of you, because your performance is impeccable."

  Joanna laughed and shed tears. An Feng helped her wipe it off with distress. She nodded: "Yes, I know that I have never let him down."

  The early death of a loved one is a painful reality. Joanna is also vulnerable at times. An Feng can only be by her side, giving her care and care. She said a lot of things, half reminiscing, half telling, but in the end she was happy, because having a good home was also her father's wish.

  But sadness is not An Feng's main theme, people are alive to be happy. After leaving, I took her to Oxford in a fast car, tried the local "food", wandered on the road between the city and the campus, immersed in the fragrance of books and history, and drank beer with college students in the tavern to join in the fun...

  =====

  Attention, there is an error ahead!

   It is the income tax. I looked at the income tax in the United States and found that the deduction for the item "expenditure" has a limit. In reality, it is difficult to deduct the full amount of more than one billion yuan, so I said "no tax after spending the money" is wrong! However, the protagonist has a company, and investment expenses, business expenses, donations, etc. can also be used to deduct. (The VIP chapter is difficult to modify, so I will remind you here)

  In addition, in order to ensure the quality and protect the author's fingers... it is better to return it slowly in three shifts (2 guarantees, 1 month ticket plus change). Remember how much you should add, character guarantee.

  Finally, continue to ask for recommendation tickets! monthly pass!
