During these days, apart from helping Zhou Hao manage "Xinghe", He Xueyun was busy going through the divorce procedures with Xu Jinsheng, and now the fact that He Xueyun was going to divorce Xu Jinsheng had become known throughout the city.
And the turmoil about Xu Jinsheng waking up naked on the street with a prostitute is still unresolved, causing everyone to tend to support He Xueyun.
Xu Jinsheng did not agree to divorce He Xueyun at first, but he immediately felt the pressure from the public.
Some people went to protest in front of Xu's mansion, and even threw rotten eggs and rotten tomatoes into Xu's mansion. The female nurses who took care of Xu Jinsheng in the hospital also looked at him coldly.
The family court considered the impact of this matter on society, and the evidence of Xu Jinsheng's infidelity in marriage was conclusive. In addition, the law firm of "Queen's Counsel" Alexander helped He Xueyun represent him in legal affairs.
Therefore, the family court finally approved He Xueyun's divorce application, and ruled that Xu Jinsheng needs to pay He Xueyun alimony of 480 million Hong Kong dollars.
Xu's father and son were naturally unconvinced and appealed to the court again and again, but the court upheld the original judgment and ordered Xu Jinsheng to pay He Xueyun alimony within a time limit, otherwise his bank account would be forcibly frozen.
After a tug-of-war, the Xu family and his son were still unable to fight the laws of Hong Kong. Just today, the court took compulsory measures against Xu Jinsheng, freezing his account, and transferring 480 million Hong Kong dollars to He Xueyun's account.
Although the final divorce approval order between He Xueyun and Xu Jinsheng will not be officially issued until several months later, legally, He Xueyun and Xu Jinsheng have already separated from their husband and wife relationship.
In order to celebrate finally breaking away from the Xu family, Zhou Hao brought He Xueyun to the Peninsula Hotel to share a candlelight dinner and experience the romance of the world between the two of them.
Since He Xueyun officially got together with Zhou Hao, due to the media's attention and the paparazzi's pursuit, she rarely went out with Zhou Hao, so she was very excited to go out for dinner with Zhou Hao tonight.
And the guards of "Pluto" who followed them also looked around vigilantly, taking strict precautions against surprise attacks by reporters or paparazzi.
However, when Zhou Hao and He Xueyun came to the terrace restaurant of the Peninsula Hotel, they saw more than a dozen burly men in suits and leather shoes near the railing.
That made more than a dozen tables there empty, and just let the two foreigners occupy a large area of the place.
Although there are still vacancies in other places, the table surrounded by those burly men is the best seat, overlooking the bright night view of Tsim Sha Tsui, Zhou Hao is here to enjoy the romantic feelings with He Xueyun, of course he hopes to be able to watch to a great location.
Zhou Hao also specifically asked the staff of the Peninsula Hotel if it was reserved, but he got a negative answer.
So Zhou Hao made those who were obviously
The burly man who was the bodyguard stepped aside, but the two big men standing in front of Zhou Hao just glanced at Zhou Hao, and didn't even bother to say a word.
"Chief, these are all Americans, and they seem to be soldiers of the US Marine Corps. I just don't know if they are active or retired."
A guard behind him reminded Zhou Hao in his ear.
Zhou Hao looked at the two American soldiers coldly, and said in English: "If you don't want to be disturbed, then you can simply book up the entire restaurant, otherwise, you seem to have no right to stop us from spending here."
Since these people came from the U.S. Marine Corps, the two foreign men over there who were leisurely enjoying delicious food were not ordinary people. They were either high-ranking government officials or billionaires.
However, Zhou Hao couldn't understand what they did. As he said just now, if he didn't want to be disturbed, he could book the entire restaurant. Otherwise, it would be extremely impolite and impolite to stop other guests like this. civilized behavior.
But when the two foreign men over there heard the sound and looked back, Zhou Hao was stunned for a moment, and He Xueyun beside him also widened his eyes in surprise.
Both of them can be said to be experts in economic management, and they are naturally familiar with those international economic celebrities, so they recognized the two bosses of the Quantum Fund at a glance.
It is also George Soros, who will be called the "financial giant" in the future, and Christopher Adkins, the chief fund manager of Quantum Fund, who is also well-known in the international financial circle.
Compared with Zhou Hao's "obscurity", Soros and Adkins are powerful figures in the financial world, especially Wall Street in the United States. They manipulate hundreds of millions of funds every year, and their influence is enough to subvert a country. economy.
Especially for someone like Zhou Hao who majored in economics, George Soros, Warren Buffett, and Julian Robert are all legendary figures.
It is a god-level existence in the field of modern financial capital, just like Michael Jackson's status in the field of pop music, or even higher.
It's just that Zhou Hao is reincarnated as a human being after all, and has experienced so many storms in this life that ordinary people can't imagine in their dreams. He is already a person who has seen "big scenes".
So now even if I see the idol from the previous life, I am not as excited as I imagined, but calm down quickly.
Seeing Soros' real person, Zhou Hao even felt a little funny: He is not a person who also has eyes, ears, mouth and nose, what is there to be surprised about?
So when facing Soros' veiled eyes and Akins' sharp sword-like eyes, Zhou Hao was able to look up at them without fear, even more hidden sharpness than them.
just ask
Rose suddenly smiled, like an ordinary and kind old man, and waved to the hulking bodyguards: "Get out of the way!"
Well, we really don't have the right to prevent others from coming to dinner. "
Then he smiled at Zhou Hao: "Young man, are you interested in enjoying this delicious Chinese food with us?"
"Extremely honored." Zhou Hao smiled neither humble nor overbearing, and walked over by holding He Xueyun's catkin.
The staff in the distance were greatly relieved to see that Zhou Hao and Soros had resolved the conflict.
Those of them who are engaged in the hotel service industry have a good eye for seeing people. At a glance, they can tell that the two entourages behind Zhou Hao and the big American men around Soros are not ordinary people. If there is any physical conflict between the two sides, the matter It will be difficult.
Moreover, most of the guests who come to the Peninsula Hotel for consumption are either rich or expensive, and the most annoying thing is the police, so the hotel will not rush to call the police unless it is necessary, so as not to harass other guests.
Now seeing Zhou Hao and the others turn their fights into treasures, the restaurant manager quickly walked over quickly, and personally He Xueyun opened the chair, and while helping Zhou Hao and the others prepare the tableware, he asked Zhou Hao and the others if they needed more. What dishes.
Zhou Hao looked at the dishes that Soros and the others had originally ordered, and found that the dishes on this table were complete with abalone wings, belly, chicken, duck and fish.
Moreover, Soros and Akins couldn't eat much, so they shook their heads at the manager: "I don't need food, just bring me a glass of Sprite and a glass of warm milk."
He himself likes to drink Sprite, while He Xueyun likes milk, and the two of them don't have the habit of deliberately drinking high-end wine to put on a show, so everything is just as they please.
"Hello, both of you. I'm George Soros, and that's my friend and colleague Christopher Adkins. Nice to meet you two." Soros laughed at Zhou Hao and the two of them.
Zhou Hao also showed a smile: "George Soros, I know you, you are a big celebrity. If you let people in Thailand or Indonesia know that you are here, I am afraid that the Peninsula Hotel will be demolished."
He didn't deliberately pretend that he didn't know Soros. Soros has been in the unpredictable financial market for decades.
He is already a refined old fox, and he should be able to guess from Zhou Hao's eyes that he knows him the moment he looked at Zhou Hao just now, so there is no need for Zhou Hao to do such unnecessary things, otherwise it will cause Soros suspicious.
"Hahahahaha... Indeed, I am not very popular in Southeast Asia." Soros laughed.
This guy is self-aware, Zhou Hao stretched out his right hand to him: "My name is Zhou Hao, and she is my girlfriend, surnamed He."
"Mr. Zhou Hao, Miss He, nice to meet you." Soros took Zhou Hao's hand and shook it vigorously.
But Akins on the opposite side looked at He Xueyun next to Zhou Hao with brilliant eyes, a very gentlemanly smile appeared on his face, and said in English with a strong French accent: "
Hello, Miss He. My name is Christopher Adkins. It's an honor to meet you. "
After all, Akins grabbed He Xueyun's jade hand and lowered his head down, wanting to kiss the back of He Xueyun's hand.
Zhou Hao frowned slightly, and He Xueyun also pulled his hand back before Akins kissed the back of his hand, and said politely: "I'm sorry, Mr. Akins, I respect your western etiquette, but I can't accept it. please forgive."
Akins was stunned, and keenly caught He Xueyun's intentional or unintentional glance at Zhou Hao when he said this, and then his heart sank, and there was a gloomy look on his brow that disappeared in an instant.
But he still smiled and said: "It's okay, I was abrupt and didn't consider the cultural difference between you and us, Miss He, please accept my apology."
He Xueyun smiled and frowned, that reserved and noble temperament made Akins's heart tremble, especially when he saw the skin like melting spring snow under He Xueyun's neck and that pair of delicate and reserved collarbones, the ripples were even more sudden up.
