C2159 Charlies Gambling (1/2)
Although an officer of Battalion Commander Charlie's rank was said to be close to Buckingham Palace in the ranks of the Janissaries, it was difficult for him to enter the eyes of the Queen.
In order to make a difference on the official road, the first thing you had to do was to hype up your own reputation. First of all, you had to let the powerful people know who you were, and that was the basis for everything.
Since you don't even know her, you shouldn't even mention those feelings of goodwill and disgust. The opportunity wouldn't fall onto your head for no reason.
Ordinary people would have to rely on their qualifications to complete various missions in order to gain merits. Then, they would advance step by step, and the Company Commander would first accumulate merits in front of the Battalion Commander and finally get promoted. Afterwards, they would take the position of Company Leader, and finally all the way to the Battalion Commander, Army Commander, and Marshal.
This was the path of promotion for the average person. It was slow but steady.
However, some people were born restless. When he was still Battalion Commander, he wanted to let the Queen know his name. He wanted to bet everything he had on completing his life.
So what to rely on? He relied on making mistakes!
People learn to make mistakes, this is a special realm, people generally think that making mistakes is negative is not good, but if you find the key to making mistakes then making mistakes can sometimes become a springboard for you to move forward.
For example, Battalion Commander Charlie. Although going by the rules was right, he had mixed his own thoughts when executing it.
It was a big taboo to use force against a VIP follower in a diplomatic event! It was not that Charlie did not know this. In fact, he was very clear on the consequences of this matter. He was also mentally prepared to be sent away.
However, looking at it from another perspective, it was precisely this crazy action of Charlie's that allowed his name to enter the ears of the Queen, letting the Queen know that there was such a loyal Battalion Commander among the Janissaries.
The Queen would surely be angry with Charlie for blackening the diplomatic event, but was this anger pure? Not necessarily! Perhaps the Queen was angry, but at the same time, she also had some praise in her heart. How could there not be a person who doesn't eat bootlickers in this world?
No one was a saint, everyone was willing to see others express their loyalty to them. Being angry for a short period of time did not mean that they would be forever punished. Opportunity was definitely something that needed to be prepared for.
To put it more clearly, being able to make the Queen remember her name was already an extremely powerful killing tool in the workplace.
For example, those sly old geezers in the political arena, Benjamin, Gladstone and the others, they were all paying close attention to the Queen's every move and word.
Perhaps a name mentioned occasionally in the afternoon tea would cause them to carry out a complicated investigation, and as long as the Queen didn't have a bad feeling about it, she would have a lot more opportunities than the others.
A position could be filled by Zhang San, Li Si or Wang Wu and Zhao Liu, so why not Ding Qi, who the queen was very familiar with?
This was the probability Charlie was betting on. He knew very well that if he continued to develop step by step, with the little power of smiles in his family, he would be able to reach the limit of a Guild Leader for his entire life.
Charlie, who knew that his future was uncertain, keenly grasped this rare opportunity. Through an extreme method of humiliating Emperor of China's guards, he had successfully made a great breakthrough in the workplace.
