"Many brands have unique animal design styles, such as Bulgari's snakes, Van Cleef & Arpels' butterflies, Chopin's peacocks, ......"

Charlotte was recalling what she had learned in fashion class and choosing jewelry, when she heard a voice behind her, stood up and turned around and hugged Suo Kiss: "Honey, are you busy with your work?" ”

"Well, how's the selection?" Hall kissed her.

Charlotte pouted and replied, "Not yet, there are too many options to be blinded, I need your help." Lying in his arms, he raised his face to make a plea expression.

"I was ashamed and blushing in the bedroom just now, and now I can get tired of being coquettish in public." Hall spotted another merit of the freshly baked little lover, "Okay, let me play with my aesthetics." ”

Charlotte was indeed a very smart girl, and she only chose one set of everyday clothes, a dress, two pairs of shoes and a backpack.

"I think this ring is good, it's a whole set? Yes, it's beautiful. Hall picked up a three-piece set of Harry Winston's ruby vine jewelry, pendants, studs, and rings.

I also chose a Chopin sapphire peacock feather brooch, plus two clothes and shoes backpacks.

A total of 190,000 pounds was spent, of which Harry Winston's set of jewelry accounted for the lion's share, after all, this is a brand that dares to jump out of the self-proclaimed "jewelry queen" and has not been besieged by friends, which is understandably expensive.

It was almost noon to get dressed.

Hall didn't accept Charlotte's invitation to go back and forth to her bedroom to admire her new clothes, and honestly drove her home. I have to go back to school in the afternoon, and the two of them are still in the development period, so they have to be restrained and adults......

Lunch is not taken seriously in England, and light meals like fish and chips are popular.

Hall walked around for a long time to find a parking spot in a block next door to Charlotte's house, parked the car and took out the envelope prepared in advance: "The key to the villa." ”

Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief, touched the feel of the bank card in the envelope in addition to the key, and was silent for a long time: "So, from now on, I will be your lover, how much money is in the bank card?" ”

Hall was stunned: "Yes, 25,000 pounds a month and all your expenses." Other than that, if you need money you can always say and I'll consider it on a case-by-case basis. ”

"You've given me enough, enough of what you just bought...... Pay the price for a while. Charlotte replied in a calm tone.

Hall chuckled, "I'm glad you asked the question, 'How much money is in your bank card,' but then you started talking stupid." You have to understand, my dear, that there is no good thing in this world that wants this and that.

I can't laugh at your idea with my own last name for being unrealistic and pay you a stingy price. Even lovers have to be superior to most aristocratic wives, which is the confidence of the Hall family to maintain arrogance. ”

Charlotte clutched the envelope, the back of her fair hand reaching the blood vessels...... I see, I'm not going to disgrace you. ”

"I knew you could figure it out, come on, I'm looking forward to your performance." Hall smiled like a gardener had thought of some triumphant idea when he was pruning a flower.

"This is my home phone number, remember to call me." Charlotte pulled out a small note, "I'll go first." ”

Hall gave her a farewell kiss: "Sorry, it was my negligence, tomorrow I will ask the assistant to send you a mobile phone." I'll miss you. ”

"I'll miss you too." Charlotte got out of the car and went home with a suitcase full of luxury goods.

She couldn't read what Hall was thinking, and she could seamlessly switch between a cold-blooded businessman and a lovers...... But in any case, she has invested her biggest capital, and she can only go hard.

"Jingle bell...... Hey, there's Stoke Fish & Chips, okay, do you want something else......"

"Hey, Stoker, where's my juice, is my juice pouring down the drain?"

"Old Stoker, seriously, it's time for your family to hire a waiter......"

In the restaurant on the first floor, my father rotates around the kitchen, and my mother and grandfather serve as waitresses.

Charlotte quickly went upstairs to the bedroom and carefully put away her suitcase, tied her long blonde hair into a ponytail, changed her clothes and tied an apron and went downstairs to help.

It costs a few dozen pounds to take a taxi from London to school, and it costs nothing to take the special Sunday school bus service provided by the school to take the special Sunday school bus service provided by the school in the city of London, which is included in the tuition fee.

After noon, there were few customers in the restaurant in the afternoon, and the family finally had a free rest.

"Charlotte, follow me upstairs." The middle-aged woman who looked like Charlotte said with a cold face.

Charlotte followed her mother upstairs: "I'm sorry Mom, there was an accident last night that didn't make me come back at night. ”

"Accidents? What kind of accident made you have a designer clothes, and what about the box you brought back, what was inside? Mrs. Stoke asked, staring at her daughter.

Charlotte smiled: "Jewelry, very expensive jewelry. ”

“…… Who is the other party, your boyfriend? Stoke looked hopeful.

Charlotte shook her head: "No, lover." ”

"Bichi! I'll just say how you suddenly have a boyfriend, I'll say how with your IQ you can accept a valuable ......gift from your boyfriend," Mrs. Stoke scolded in a suppressed voice.

"Crunch." The bedroom door was pushed open, and Stoke walked in: "Okay, why do you have to take out a loan to let your daughter go to St. Mary's, isn't that exactly what you want?" ”

"What I want, ah?! I want my daughter to be someone else's lover? Mrs. Stoke was emotional.

Charlotte walked to the bedside and took out her bank card from under the mattress: "It's going to be £25,000 a month, Mom, didn't Mrs. Farley next door tell you that their family is going to Sri Lanka for Christmas?" Dad, the family car is always difficult to start, so change to a new one, right? ”

“…… Daughter, do you know what you're doing yourself? The wrinkles on Stoker's face trembled slightly, and he pulled his wife to turn away.

Mrs. Stoke took away the bank card: "Mom will help you keep it, the security of the nearby streets has been getting worse and worse recently, and there are thieves...... Baby, what's the password...... Actually, it doesn't matter what the tour is, it's time for our family to save up for a new house, you know, people always laugh at the East End as a working-class neighborhood, and that's ...... for you."

The mother's chatter could be heard through the door, Charlotte threw herself on the bed and listened quietly to the sound disappearing, thought about it, and pulled out the suitcase under the bed, and took out a bottle of perfume from it.

Roll over and squirt a few times into the air.

Crystal mist wafts onto the sheets and floors in the sun, and the faint citrus smell mixed with the smoke of frying and smells strange.

Charlotte closed her eyes and wrinkled her pretty nose: "Citrus, he likes citrus...... Maybe we'll have to find a way to talk to his assistant...... Also, Isabella, did you do it in the outdoor pool last night? The shameless Bichi is really open-minded, the weather is so cold............ Ha, but as it happens, I'm also a ...... of Bichi."

"It's so cold." In the Eton College dormitory, Hall sat on the carpet and rubbed his nose and sneezed.

White half-lay on the single bed opposite and tilted his head back: "You don't get the flu, do you?" I'll just say you didn't do well last night. ”

"Fuck off, this has something to do with last night, the fact is that we have to write to the principal to apply for the installation of dormitory air conditioning!" Hall complained.

Britain does not have the habit of using air conditioning, and relies on fireplaces and floor heating in winter.

"Actually, Isabella is really good, even if you admit what happened to her, it will only make people envious, after all, she has royal blood." White kicked the chair, "Yes...... How many percent? If I could have a relationship with a girl like that, my father would have to pay me a sum of money for my relationship, at least 30, no, 500,000 pounds! ”

Ansel, who was sitting at his desk reading a book, couldn't say, "It seems like an eighth?" But White, man is not a tool of any man, but an end in itself. Falling in love is your business, not your father's. ”

"The Critique of Pure Reason, Kant said." Hall added with a shrug.

White's face was full of grief: "Look, what the fucked philosophy has taught our good friends to become, the way you read quotations in a serious way now, and the way you usually show off and be active are completely two people." ”

"No way, the exam is coming, I have to gnaw on this shit philosophy! Actually, theology is better to get points, but I've already brushed it up. Ansel regained his true nature and said helplessly.

Eton College has a winter break in mid-December and a mid-January semester opens.

Hall suddenly thought of something and asked, "Do you think I can take a long leave if I have enough grades?" ”

"No one else, but you might be able to write a letter to the principal." White suggested.

Ansel turned around and sat back in his chair: "Give up, we have 12 compulsory courses in a semester, two modern languages, and at least three electives." I can't even get enough grades ahead of time, you ......."

"Cut, childish thoughts. As long as Hugo does the kind of 'social practice' he had before, I guarantee that he will easily achieve enough grades. White objected.

Hall nodded involuntarily, this is indeed a good idea, you can try it next semester.

Anse El questioned: "This is not scientific, that kind of transaction is a general achievement, even if Hugo is a genius, it cannot be replicated." ”

"Genius is not limited – Kant." White replied.

Ansel wanted to say that this was not the case, but considering the poor philosophical level of this guy, he decided not to argue with fools.

Thanks to their relatively wealthy family background, most of the Eton boys know very well what they want, and White will take over his father's class in the future, so naturally he doesn't pay much attention to philosophy.

"Dangdangdang." Shukla probed in and asked, "Hello friends, what are you talking about, can I join?" ”

"Of course, didn't you go with Abdullah to learn to play billiards?" White shifted his body to give up his position.

Shukla imitated his posture and raised his leg to stand on the chair, but he stretched twice but couldn't reach it: "No, I'm not interested in billiards now, I suddenly found that shooting is a very interesting sport." ”

"It's really a purebred Ah San, and the ability to squeeze in the stitches is unique in the world." Hall was amazed.

"Yesterday at Hugo's dinner, I had a speculative conversation with the grandson of an earl, who loves firearms and wants to invite me to his house next weekend. Does Hugo want to go, and you and Ansère? ”

"Uh, are you talking about Theofrey?" White said, looking at Hall.

Hall threw him a look and refused, "I'm sorry, I have a lot of things to do in my company, and I may not have time to go." He doesn't mind matching Xiao Asan with a friend, but this product doesn't seem to be reliable, and he has to contact him.

"Don't do this, Hugo, come on, plus White and Ansel, half of our [Business and Philosophy] class is gathered!"

Shukla urged to invite, "Is your company in trouble?" Tell me about it, maybe I can help you out. Don't look at me like that, really, I have a relative who just got his Ph.D. in finance from Columbia University last year, and now Morgan, Morgan you know? The best ...... in your financial industry"

"Pandit." Hall thought of the object's last name and asked, "What's the name of that relative?" ”

"Hmm...... Shankar, Vikram Shankar Pandit? Shukla scratched his head.

Hall sat up straight: "Are you sure?" ”

Shukla squeezed out a smile: "I'm sure, his name is Vikram, you know him?" ”

"I've heard the name, but I'm not sure if it's the same person you say and I know. Can you help me contact him, I want to confirm and I will thank you. Hall said earnestly.

Pandit is one of the higher castes in India, and it is also translated in another way: Panweidi.

This surname, combined with Columbia University's Ph.D. in Finance + working at Morgan, instantly reminded Hall of an alumnus from his previous life, Vikram Panweidi.

This Indian-American alumnus has an excellent resume, graduated from college and joined Morgan Stanley, working his way up to the position of CEO of securities and investment banking. Later, he also served as the CEO of Citigroup, although he was fired by the board of directors in less than two years, but it was the 08 financial crisis.

Shukra thought for a moment: "I have to ask my family to help contact, do you have anything to do with him?" ”

"I want to poach him into my company." Hall said frankly.

This Indian-American alumnus, who was ridiculed by Goldman Sachs CEO Frank Fan as "wearing diapers to work", spent hundreds of millions of dollars to buy his fund company in order to poach him as CEO.

This is enough to prove that Vikram Pan Weidi is indeed a talent.

The most important thing is that Vikram Pan Weidi specializes in electronic trading in the field of securities investment, and in the words of the NBA draft, this is a rookie with strong combat power, and he will cash in on the talent of at least an All-Star player in the future.

Shukla said embarrassedly, "I can help you contact him, but I may not be able to help you if you want to poach him." ”

"Digging him up is a matter of later, we have to get in touch with him first, thank you for helping me." Hall smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

Shukla also laughed haha: "Don't be so polite, we're classmates, neighbors, and good friends, aren't we?" ”

"This is also an investment route, and looking back, there are talents who are still unknown for the time being." Hall thought to himself, suddenly feeling a little messy, now there is too much to invest, he has to do subtraction, he can't want to do everything.

Said to be an idle nobleman......
