Hall was still late for the meeting after all, but it didn't have much impact.

Yesterday, I saw at the airport that the people who greeted the airport had in fact completed the summary of the year's work, and the meeting was just a matter of merit and appreciation.

Jordan Belfort, a financial crook who eats Wall Street leftovers, knows how to buy hearts and minds before inviting call girls into the office to cheer employees on.

The real Wall Street rising star head Mr. Hall is naturally not bad, and the corporate culture is formed in this way, of course, he does not advocate wolf culture.

After all, AEc is an elite enterprise with in-depth cooperative relations with top universities such as the London School of Economics and Political Science in the United Kingdom and Columbia University in the United States, and has a positive public image.

At present, the Institute of Finance of AEc and London Political and Economic Cooperation has been officially established, and the quantitative trading model jointly developed by the two parties has been optimized to the third version, and the results are quite impressive, and the annual return of the fund speaks for itself.

Having tasted the sweetness, Pan Weidi advocated in-depth cooperation with Columbia University, Princeton University, and MIT universities and the London School of Economics and Political Science.

Including but not limited to financial research institutes, scientific research project funding, talent reserves, etc...... Even at Columbia University, scholarships and interest-free student loans for international students are available, and it is conceivable that most of the outstanding international students who benefit from them will enter the AEc in the future.

According to this development trend, even without Hall in the future, AEc's quantitative fund must be the strongest on Wall Street.

"I have a vulgar dream that when you go on a social date with the opposite sex, they won't ask about your salary and education as long as they know that you are from AEc Capital. We will create the future of AEc, always be an elite. ”

Facing the employees whose average age is very young, Hall concludes with this sentence.

That night was another extravagant annual meeting event, and since then, the annual summary of all the assets of AEc, LAp, and family offices has come to an end.

The next day, Hall returned to the Yorkshire countryside, accompanied by Cheng Chen and Luca.

In winter, the days are short and the nights are long, leaving New York at dawn in the morning and returning home at noon.

Aunt Caroline stood at the door of the villa to greet her, and Helena sat in the indoor living room waiting for lunch.

Feet on black flat leather boots, brown plaid print high-waisted fleece pants with a medium-width dark belt, a casual loose white shirt over the top and a button-down cardigan in the same color as the pants.

The long black hair was simply pulled back but elegant, and Helena sat there quietly, smiling at the corners of her mouth.

Hall was inexplicably familiar with the scene that was every time he came home from weekend break when he was a student at Eton College last year.

People praised him for having the most perfect image of the British aristocracy, but he always thought that his mother was - always so elegant and restrained in line with all the beautiful imaginations of the British aristocracy.

"Welcome home." Helena stood up and raised her voice slightly.

Hall frowned and opened his hand to hug before walking: "I'm hungry, Mommy." ”

"Aunt Susan has prepared your favorite snack, but out of politeness, I have to say hello to your two colleagues first." Helena said softly.

“……”

Halton was speechless, how could a body temperature of thirty-seven degrees say such cold words, isn't it the warmth of the mother and son at this moment?

Hell courtesy!

Helena, Cheng Chen, and Luca exchanged pleasantries, gave the souvenirs prepared in advance, and everyone went to the restaurant to eat.

"Would you like an aperitif?" Aunt Caroline asked herself, playing the role of a waitress.

Hall looked at Helena, who looked at Cheng Chen for advice, and Cheng Chen looked at Hall again.

Only Luca stayed out of the way, staring at the cutlery in front of him with a resolute expression as if he was going to sacrifice his life to block bullets, he was a bodyguard, and professional bodyguards never drank with their employers.

Hall shrugged and looked around: "Drink a little, dry white wine." ”

Sparkling wine is suitable for more relaxed occasions such as weddings, while dry white aperitifs tend to have a more formal atmosphere, and compared with more solemn red wines, dry white is in line with the palate of both ladies.

"Luca, next year I will invite the neighbors to a family gathering, and there will be a Christmas market and fireworks show for the children, if your family has time, you are welcome to come."

Helena first invited Luca, and then started a conversation around work matters, basically she and Cheng Chen chatted about things.

Hall listened silently, occasionally echoing a few sentences, secretly rejoicing in his heart that politeness also has the benefits of politeness.

If you talk about something light-hearted and happy, such as his emotions and life in the past six months, I'm afraid it's a little difficult to overcome.

Lukka was sweating profusely from his meal, feeling like his throat was going to be stretched by the steak he swallowed in his stomach without chewing it completely. After staying up until the end of the meal, his eyes straightened and he quickly got up to thank him and say goodbye, saying that he was going to check the security situation of the manor, and then quickly disappeared.

He and Lady Helena had eaten together only a handful of times, and each time the knife and fork in his hand were as difficult to control as a heavy machine gun that was firing at him.

Knowing that Lady Helena didn't care about other people's table manners, he still wanted to be decent in front of her.

In fact, he was not the only one, but Montena was the same, pretending to be a human dog every time, and secretly eating two pieces of bread before the meal to cushion his stomach......

Cheng Chen coped with it easily, behaved very calmly and decently, and took the initiative to ask for a glass of Soviet Red Card Vodka After-dinner Wine. It's just that his face is flushed, and he talks more than usual.

Helena took a sip of a glass of herbal wine and quipped, "It turned out to be a girl who liked to drink spirits." ”

"I just found out, too."

Seeing Cheng Chen's brisk steps follow Aunt Caroline out of the restaurant to visit the manor, Hall frowned and shook his head.

Soviet Red Card Vodka, a "two-pot head" that is more suitable for Maozi's physique, is low in price and full of stamina, and the iced drinking liquor is more silky, but it is a bit of a throat drain.

Helena said thoughtfully, "You haven't had a drink with her before?" ”

"Mom, I promised you that there won't be a third girl this year." Hall protested solemnly, "You can't distrust me! ”

"And what about Ms. Jennifer Connelly, did you invest in a change in the heroine of the movie?"

"Uh... That's about a business, I told you. Hall sighed and explained.

Helena reluctantly put down her glass: "Well, anyway, I believe that you and this girl are just colleagues, so we can communicate frankly." ”

"What did you investigate?" Hall asked, cheering up.

Helena unconsciously lowered her voice and said seriously: "I haven't investigated anything, her background is completely blank, and that's all you know from the Washington Embassy." ”

Hall fell silent, calmed down for a few seconds and said without hesitation, "I'll quit her as soon as possible." ”

"No, I suggest you have a frank conversation with her before making a decision, provided that you are willing to assume the status of a councilor."

Helena changed her words and continued: "If you don't want to, you can quit her, Mom is just suggesting, no one can force you." ”
