Chapter 126: One Day
After spending a long time outside, Hale has come to realize how rare it is to be in the tranquility of the manor from his hometown.
In the middle of summer, the heat is wanton, the faint birdsong echoes in the forest, a trace of wind through the hall squeaks and sways through the classical wooden windows, and a few pots of flowers and plants on the balcony gently sway.
The sitcom "Yes, Chancellor" was replayed on television, and Paul Eddington's well-known voice always made people laugh.
The chilled watermelon "Kacha" is cut in half, and the dull and hot summer comes alive in an instant.
The day Hall returns home begins by killing a watermelon......
"Good afternoon, jet lag?" Caroline took the tea tray and put it on the coffee table, "Helena, Miss and Mrs. are drinking afternoon tea in the big sun room, do you want to go and say hello?" ”
Hall had finished his Margaret costume business in London yesterday, and when he returned to Yorkshire that night, he slept until now, and everyone was numb and lazy and didn't want to move.
Caroline stroked his messy hair, "They're almost over, they'll probably come and see you in a moment." ”
"Visit me?" Hall spits out a few watermelon seeds.
Caroline smiled and said in a narrow tone: "Little Hugo is going to college, and he will be an adult soon." ”
“…… Bored. ”
Hall is accustomed to complaining, the so-called aristocracy has always been inseparable from 'social', but now he is the protagonist anytime and anywhere.
"Listen to Helena, you're going on vacation to escape the heat?"
"New Zealand, I was originally scheduled to leave in the next few days, but I learned that your return was postponed."
Hall sighed enviously: "I really enjoy it, when will I be able to be so leisurely......"
"Anytime, you want, but in fact you seem to want to achieve more in your career." Caroline glanced him up and down, muttering slightly, "Honestly, you're walking fast now, like a mountaineer, and Helena and I don't know if it's good or bad." If you're willing to work hard for what you're doing right now, you should enjoy it. ”
Hall's movements were sluggish, and he put down the watermelon in his hand: "I heard that the quality of New Zealand grapes is good, help me bring two bottles of wine." ”
Is he willing to fight for what he is doing now? It's a philosophical question.
In his last life, on a Q&A forum, he listened to Musk's ex-wife talk about Musk: he only sleeps four hours a day, works crazy all day long, and is always energetic and likes to challenge...... This seems to be the state that a natural entrepreneur should be.
And he, often tired, often frustrated. Like an ordinary person, more than like an ambitious strongman destined for a successful career.
A strong man often has energy far beyond ordinary people, and this alone does not meet the standard.
"Hello, Hugo, long time no see......"
Hall was chatting with Caroline when Helena walked into the villa with a group of ladies and ladies.
"This is Lady Kelly, a special advisor to the England Am High Sword Club, whom you have met at the New Year's reception...... This is Ms. Vanessa, who currently serves on the Board of Directors of the Family Charitable Foundation...... Ophelia, a special performer at the Oliver Opera House...... "Helena introduced them one by one.
The aristocracy of the Middle Ages was ashamed of their work, but the modern aristocracy, especially the aristocratic women, has gradually risen a trend of work.
Specifically, it is a work identity, and it is embarrassing to go out without a title such as founder and manager, and it is the highest style involving art and charity.
Hall was a little depressed by Caroline's chat, and had no intention of rolling in the smell of Yingying Yanyan's perfume, but nodded slightly in response, not even smiling.
has been entangled with top strongmen from all walks of life for a long time, even if he is ordinary, he has developed a temperament that is difficult to ignore, with indifferent and alienated eyes, he has a unique demeanor.
No one will criticize him for being rude, he is now entitled to do whatever he wants, and the old Wall Street in the United States can testify that he can stir up the storm in the global financial center if the proud English aristocracy Glory wants!
Well, some people secretly poke and poke in private and don't want to recognize the status of Wall Street, but in any case, Hall is now from England and the world's big names!
"More handsome than in the news, that's it, he's really a cold person in private! I just said how can a good gentleman do a genius act...... Stewart, you look at the way he looks, oh my God, it's like a tyrant-emperor, fulfilling all my fantasies. A young girl with youthful fluff on her face was secretly excited.
The other girl beside her frowned and pondered, "...... Why do I feel like his eyes are more like he hasn't woken up, you see his hair, it's messier than the haystack in my stable......"
Dealing with the guests, Hall was relaxed, and he put his feet on the coffee table and ate watermelon.
"Hugo, some time ago a gentleman named Dlamini came to visit me and gave me a gift that went beyond the norm, and he said that he was an admirer of the queen and wanted to see the queen." Helena remembered something and told her.
Hall thought for a moment: "Well, don't care, he has been doing business in the United States for many years and doesn't understand English etiquette, you helped him?" ”
Helena looked at Caroline.
The latter briefly recalled: "I helped him arrange for a royal equestrian event for £600,000, and he sat in the third row behind the queen as a funder, with seven seats in between. After the end, he took an opportunity to take a photo with the queen and said a few words. He expressed his satisfaction with this and hinted that he could be approached more often in the future. ”
"Incomprehensible, rich starchasers." Hall shook his head and commented.
The corners of Helena's mouth curled, and she pulled the broken hair around her ear: "Among those guests just now, there are also those who paid a lot of pounds to meet you." ”
“ah?! Dear Mom, is there a financial crisis in our family? Hale's mouth widened.
Helena blinked her bright eyes and shrugged her shoulders lively: "Of course not. They gave the benefits to the friends who were originally invited to come to our house in exchange for the opportunity to come to our house together. ”
"Looks like I can go to Leeds City Zoo and get a ticket to see it." Hall complained to himself.
His actual influence now seems to be far greater than he realizes, but when carefully analyzed, it should be.
If it weren't for the super high influence, with the money and power he really held, he wouldn't be able to escape the illegal operation, and he hadn't been invited to tea by the FBI.
"No, they're not just here to see you. Hugo, you are the one who can give the aura to others. Helena's white, rounded chin was raised, and her tone rose slightly.
Hall stared at his old mother, stunned and nodded unconsciously.
"Don't doubt it, believe me, tomorrow there will be a rumor of a girl to be married who has won your favor and rejected you for various reasons. This is just a decent way to raise one's own value, and there are many low-level and excessive means that are unimaginable......"
Helena popularized science in detail, hoping to use this euphemism to remind her son to pay attention when he spends his heart, so as not to be used by people with intentions.
"I believe it, I'm just thinking about ......" Hall pretended to be serious, "Mom, are you fat?" ”
"Smack!" Helena didn't control it, and slapped her palm on the head of the rebel.
