When White's father paid the entrance fee, he smiled and wore the badge representing the club's identity to his chest.

Helena and Hall bid farewell to everyone one by one.

The former said sincerely: "Today's event was fantastic, and honestly, it was a very wonderful day for me. ”

"It's an honor for me to start an event that every friend can enjoy." Helena thanked him in return.

White's father laughed self-deprecatingly, "Uh...... I'm rich, and of course, it's not worth mentioning the wealth that the Hall family has. But I think I'm a member of high society, but some people don't think so, they despise me for having nothing but money.

Seriously, I hate those people, and I can't go to great lengths to win their approval with a smiley face.

If I want to have lunch with a certain MP, I first have to add 50 jobs to his constituency; To get the approval of those people, you only need to say hello at club activities to sit down and chat, or even have a drink and tell a few vulgar jokes.

So, Ms. Helena, thank you so much for the recognition you have given me. ”

Helena shook her head: "You're welcome, Hugo and White are friends, aren't they?" It's their friendship, and it's our friendship. ”

"Yes, friendship!" White's father agreed, "I know that high society should always be reserved and introverted, but unfortunately I am a nouveau riche and am used to expressing gratitude directly." ”

"Interesting," Hall said, "I like it, like the whip I draw." ”

"That's cool, thank you for the ...... you did for White," White's father thanked again.

The two sides chatted for a while, and the father and son took their leave.

Looking at the empty club hall, Hall blew lightly: "The fox hunt is over perfectly. ”

"If you don't whip that whip." Helena answered.

Hall grinned and said, "What, Lady Helena is angry with me again?" ”

"No, you don't know how happy your mother is to hear that you made such a move, but it's too much pressure to recast glory or something." Helena said with disgust.

Hall was relieved: "Now the number of nobles in England is less than 2,000, and excluding those poor families, the real nobles are about 1,000." I think there should be hundreds, maybe two hundred, maybe three hundred.

It's a good resource, and if I can put it to good use, I don't mind recasting the so-called aristocratic glory.

If I can't use it or don't use it well, I won't be under any pressure. ”

Helena's eyes widened when she heard this: "...... You're a flexible thinker, you're acting exactly like you were in Orange Manor that day, like a, no, a businessman! ”

My old mother is now obviously more angry when she speaks in private, and she is no longer as unwavering as before, always flawless.

Hall couldn't help but open his hand and hugged her: "It's like a record has two sides of AB, and so do people." I wish I could see your B-side, and I'm the same, I'll turn the B-side over to you, uh...... And Aunt Caroline. ”

"Alright, alright, it's time to go home. I don't believe your nonsense, a mercenary businessman would spend so much effort to endorse a friend? ”

Helena pushed her son away, her eyes skimmed to the corner of the club hall to look at the waitress here, her fair face flushed slightly.

Hall turned to the waiter and smiled, "That's different, he lent me a lot of money." ”

In 1987, when the average price of the house was 50,000 pounds per unit, White's father lent 100,000 pounds to his son's classmates.

Whatever the motive, it was a real £100,000 in cash.

Hall used to be a "financial broker", and in ancient times, it belonged to the "foot teeth of the car and ship shop", and he should be killed if he was not guilty.

It is better to expect his moral bottom line than to expect the pig to come to the tree.

But once you go through, you can be a little more flexible to believe in the word "cause and effect".

It doesn't matter if you believe it, there is a so-called it, feudal superstition it, I only believe in myself......

…………

The next day, in London, Helena went to work at the Houses of Parliament early in the morning, accompanied by Caroline.

Members of Parliament have no salary, no compulsory work obligation, but a subsidy for transport and food, about a few hundred pounds a week.

The honorable Helena is a member of the House of Lords, usually in the country manor, except for the general assembly, which is basically in a state of seclusion. During this time in London, I happened to go to the Houses of Parliament to make a show.

Hall's vacation finally had a rare quiet day at home, but it was probably because the wave of pretending to be too strong yesterday made me feel a little empty in my heart, and I really wanted to find something to do.

After a lot of struggle, I went out to the business district to shop.

I went to New York too much before, and I forgot to bring a gift to Helena when I came back, so I made up for it today.

In China, all kinds of luxury brand stores must be in the prime location of the city's commercial block, the decoration of the palatial poor is exempt, even the counter sister has an inexplicable extravagance, as long as a look can see the ordinary people hugging their heads.

London's luxury brand stores are also located in prime locations, but the latter two are not, with an area of about thirty or fifty square meters, and it is easy to bump into people when you turn around.

Compared with China, it seems to be a joke, and Hall has not experienced the shopping experience that a super VIP should have.

Buy gifts, go to Trafalgar Square to feed the pigeons, and be in a daze......

Hall unconsciously walked all the way through Downing Street to the Chinese archway with the words "London Chinatown" written on it.

Earlier Chinatown was in East London, but over the years it has gradually moved to the city centre.

"Traditional Cantonese morning tea, restore the taste of mother......"

"The opening of the new store, Mr. Lao She's master master disciple of the champion building is in charge of the spoon himself, welcome to try!"

The Cantonese shouts on both sides of the street continued, and Hall could only understand it, and he used a sentence in proficient Cantonese: "Thunder Monkey, walk by the toilet?" ”

Seeing that the time was close to noon, I walked into a Zhejiang restaurant at random.

"Dongpo pork, dry-fried bells, crucian carp soup, green pepper running eggs......" Hall ordered a table of dishes in broken Mandarin.

The proprietress listened to the little white guy in front of her who could actually speak Chinese, and kindly reminded: "Boss, you have ordered too much, are you finished with all these foods?" ”

"I'll pack it if I can't finish eating, I hear you speak as a Cantonese person, do you know how to make fried crabs?" Hall's wicked impersonator said in the other's accent.

The aunt shook her hair and seamlessly switched between several accents: "Yes, yes." We are here in Zhejiang restaurant, you know the difference between Zhejiang cuisine and Cantonese cuisine, there are no ingredients! ”

The corners of Hall's mouth curled slightly: "Is it okay to go to the market and buy some back?" I add money. ”

“…… Add money, it will take a little longer, and the ingredients will have to be processed. ”

The aunt happily stuffed two twenty-pound tips into her pocket.

walked up to a waiter who was wiping the table with his back to the two, and took out a new one: "Ajuan, don't wipe it, go to the market to buy vegetables first." I'll write you a list, and the rest of the money will be your tip. ”

Hall listened to the waiter's repeated thanks, and felt funny in his heart.
