When you have nothing to talk about with a woman, you her off and you have a topic to talk to all day. - Hugo Hall.

This is the "interpersonal skills" he learned when he fell in love in his previous life, but he didn't expect it to be equally effective for Ms. Helena in this life.

I have to say that the state of a woman's anger can be so similar, like, too similar.

But my old mother has one more thing - the skill lasts longer.

One day was not enough time at all, and he had not been coaxed since yesterday afternoon when he made a mistake to make him angry until the next day.

On Sunday morning, in the light rain outside the window, Helena curled up lazily on the sofa reading a book as the melodious sound of Bach's Unaccompanied Cello Suites sounded.

Ignoring her expressionless and cold face, the leisurely mood in the room is soothing.

At the end of a song, I don't wait to reminisce about the aftertaste of the music.

Hall put down the bow and said with a dead face: "Mom, I'm going back to school after auditing the financial meeting in the afternoon, will you miss me?" ”

Helena was unmoved, sulking to herself, and didn't bother to look up at him.

Huo Tian shamelessly continued: "If you don't say it, I know, you will definitely miss me." If you don't forgive me, I won't be back next week on vacation......"

"Next week I'll go to Paris with Caroline, then to Milan and maybe New York if I'm having fun. So for the next month, I wasn't at home. Helena finally spoke.

Halton was stunned, blinking at Caroline for help with a confused little look: "...... Isn't it, is it going to be a cold war for so long? ”

"October is fashion season, and invitations are coming from Paris, Milan and New York Fashion Week, as you saw yesterday." Caroline said she couldn't help.

"Well, I don't want to feel guilty for the next month. So once again, I sincerely apologize to you, my original intention was to let you relax and not have to maintain an elegant and dignified lady image at all times. ”

Hall was full of emotion and said in a sincere tone: "The way you got angry yesterday was the most beautiful you I've seen in a long time." ”

"Do you think I'll believe it?" Helena tugged at the ends of her hair.

Hall almost raised his hand and swore, "Really, I'm really just kidding...... Well, the way you look angry is beautiful. Much more lively than usual. ”

"Actually, Mom would be happy to have some fun interactions with you, but your prank yesterday was so sudden that it scared me. You should be warned beforehand about the next prank...... At least give me a little hint and give me a little bit of psychological anticipation. Helena's attitude softened, and her momentum weakened much in the middle of speaking.

Hall didn't care about complaining about the "prepared prank", and smeared his mouth with honey while the iron was hot.

After a long time, I finally coaxed the old mother, and quickly threw down the cello and prepared to go back to the bedroom......

"Haven't you practiced in a long time?" Helena called to Hall, who wanted to run away, "There is a note in the second measure that is pulled wrong, and the bow change is not good...... It's a lot more rusty than ever, and it sounds like a beginner. ”

Hall silently sat back in place and continued to play the strings, weighing in his heart "whether to make Helena angry again".

…………

At one o'clock in the afternoon, when the rain had subsided, Hall was holding up his sore fingers and swearing to the sky that he would never have to pretend to be "musical" again in his life.

Seeing four business cars coming in a group outside the window, I knew that it should be someone from the accounting firm, so I cheered up and went back to the bedroom to change clothes.

"Master Hall, Lady Carolyn let me tell you, Mr. Jared, they are here, in the main study." When I went downstairs, I bumped into a maid head-on and informed.

The main study is said to be a study, but it is actually more like a living room suite, which is filled with books and a few antique calligraphy and paintings collected by the Hall family over the ages.

Usually, Hall's mother and son rarely use the main study, and basically entertain outsiders as a semi-formal occasion.

Mr. Jared led the accounting team, the wealth manager of Barclays, the business manager of the fund house and an analyst, lawyer, a total of nine, plus Hall mother and son and Caroline.

Most of the seats in the main study were filled, and Mr. Jared began the financial meeting with the presentation of the Hall's financial report for the third quarter of 1987.

From time to time, Helena asked Hall, "What do you think" and "What do you think".

The latter read last quarter's financial report yesterday, and he probably had a spectrum in his heart, and listened quietly throughout the whole process. It wasn't until the end of the meeting, when I had a general understanding of the professionals present, that I began to speak.

"Mr. Jared, according to the financial report, my family's financial investment assets totaled 35 million pounds, of which various "stock funds", "real estate trusts" and "money market funds" were purchased...... and a fixed deposit of five million pounds in a bank to serve as a reserve fund. ”

Hall put down the financial report and looked at Jared: "Is this kind of investment allocation too risky?" ”

"I don't quite know what you mean by "risk", if you mean the ability to resist risk, then rest assured, according to the existing asset allocation ......" Jared did not disdain him because of his youth, and responded in detail and seriously.

Hall shook his head: "No, I'm talking about investment risks, Mr. Monte, what do you think is the current investment environment in the financial market?" As he spoke, he looked at the account manager of the fund company.

Monte, who is slightly bald on the top of his head and has the temperament of a middle-aged yuppie uncle, glanced at his analyst colleagues and replied confidently: "Since the de-regulation last year, the number of financial companies in London has increased day by day, and the transaction costs have become more and more day by day, so it can be said that the financial industry has ushered in a boom."

In April this year, the government passed the "Individual Equity Plan", which means that London has become a tax-free haven for investors around the world, and while I don't like that woman, I have to admit that she has a sensible approach to the financial sector.

One of the most intuitive data is that the FTSE 100 index has risen by more than 40% since its inception four years ago.

I can't think of a time in England's financial history when the market conditions were better than the present. ”

"Maybe it was around the time when New Amsterdam was renamed?"

The wealth manager at Barclays told a bad joke, and everyone laughed cooperatively, including Helena.

"I don't know if you're still in the mood to tease the United States in a month's time. But the current situation in the British financial market is really good! If you weren't a traveler, you wouldn't believe that the UK stock market would explode a month later, and the reason was that it was implicated in the US stock explosion.

The most nonsense is that the reason for the explosion of the U.S. stock market is that there is no reason, it is really off the original spectrum, off from the big spectrum! Hale burst out viciously in his heart.

After two waves of "genius" yesterday, Helena already attached great importance to his ideas, and it can be seen during this meeting.

He wanted to take the opportunity to directly talk about some financial risks at this financial meeting and persuade Helena to adjust the investment structure and avoid risks.

But the current situation is far more complicated than he thought.

The current financial turmoil is not only without warning, but on the contrary, it is full of flowers, and not only is the market confidence bursting, but the actual conditions are also good.

Hall couldn't find the right factor to predict the imminent explosion of the financial markets, and the people present were professional and could not be easily convinced.

If he didn't have a reason to say: In a month, my British financial market will explode", and the football big V of later generations posted on Weibo that "I watched the sky at night and calculated that the national football team was going to enter the World Cup and win the championship".

If a normal person looks at him more, it means that a normal person is sick.

If he added a sentence of "take out 25% of the value to buy the national football team to win", the neurotic would have to tell him "You're okay, eat some yo-yo plums".
