"...I'll go back first." Edith was obviously not going to continue to blend into the reception. It was already her limit to come to the auction.

Lan Li was not surprised, and gently chin, "I will let Nathan **** you back."

"No need. I can do it myself." Edith waved her hand and refused without even thinking about it.

According to the usual habit, Lanly will not say much. They are all adults and independent individuals with the ability to act. There is no need to force each other to act in their own way: they rarely interfere with each other’s decisions. Or in other words, they strictly maintain the boundaries between each other.

However, today Lan Li was a little abnormal. He did not agree, but he did not object. He just stared at Edith quietly, his expression extremely focused.

Edith rolled her eyes and said impatiently, "Don't pity me. I don't need it." But after the words were uttered, Edith realized her impulse and irritability, like a gunpowder keg, she had to He closed his eyes and took a deep breath to adjust his state. Then he continued, "I mean, I don’t need to sympathize with me, and I don’t need to worry. I know how to come and I know how to leave. Have you forgotten? I’m not inviting you. I entered the auction in the state of the letter. I now have the ability to deal with problems independently. You just need to let go."

"This just proves that you are smarter than George and Elizabeth." Lanly still has time to joke at this time. Obviously, Edith entered the Garrick Club through Arthur. This is not a difficult puzzle; if If the Halls are looking for Arthur today, it should be much simpler.

Edith was also a little helpless, enduring and enduring, after all, she did not hold it back, the smile on her mouth rose, but she also noticed that Lan Li's eyes still did not flinch or hesitate, and she always stared at herself unswervingly. , She exhaled, "You won't give up, will you?"

"I'm just providing a simpler solution." Lan Li was noncommittal.

Edith grinds her teeth viciously, "I don't like this version of you...Mama, I still like the cold-blooded version more, can you switch back?"

Lan Li raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Don't get too far." As you wish, switch back now.

Edith couldn't help but grinned. She only felt the toothache, but she didn't say much. She ran away as soon as she slid, and she still muttered, "Nathan Nathan Nathan..."

In the end, only Lan Li and Eaton were left, and Lan Li took the initiative to say hello, "Let's go, we have another reception waiting."

...

The reception was also held in the Garrick Club. From the theater hall on the first floor to the banquet hall on the second floor, waiters were responsible for guiding at the fork in the road. On the one hand, it was to prevent the guests from getting lost, and on the other hand, it was Avoid wandering around-otherwise, it would be rude to break into the private space of a club member.

Walking into the banquet hall on the second floor, you can immediately feel the luxury and ease of aristocratic life-continuing the Victorian design style. The crystal chandeliers and Persian carpets make the entire space look graceful and luxurious, and the warm colors make the air full of warmth. The long and narrow corridor at the entrance allows a car to pass through. The left wing is a spacious lounge that allows guests to escape from the banquet for a short time. The right wing is a smoking room and a bathroom.

A small hall can be reached through the corridor. Usually this is a "deck area" with four sets of sofas. When the guests are tired of socializing in the banquet hall, they can come here to sit and chat in a relaxed manner. There is a cocktail bar; today, a buffet table is supported next to the bar-mainly because most of the guests have no time or opportunity to have lunch, and Alexander made such an arrangement.

However, even though the guests did not have the opportunity to have lunch, the number of guests gathered in the small hall at this time was also a small number: the appearance of feasting in public is not good, especially for the nobles, they always insisted that the meal must be done on the table. It is very rude behavior to stand or walk to eat in the non-table area; even at the banquet, the food must be made into small pieces, which can be easily put into the mouth with one mouthful to ensure the lips There is no sauce on the top, and it can remain elegant, and this is just a snack, not a regular meal.

"You can’t eat without a table." This kind of outdated and pathologically stubborn dining etiquette has spread all the way from the aristocratic class to the upper class. It has not changed so far-the luncheons or parties of the major Hollywood awards ceremonies, including the Oscars. The same is true for award ceremonies.

At this time, the guests staying in the small hall are more upstarts, or rebels, or a few special cases; otherwise, most of the guests are unwilling to be embarrassed by others seeing their mouths full of food, and it is not a meal. I can't afford to be hungry. After the reception party like this, the guests will go to eat on their own, and there is no need to eat in the presence of other guests.

After passing through the small hall, you can formally enter the banquet hall, where the busy scene of clothes fragrant and shadows, coquettish crosses, and cups being pushed and changed.

As soon as Lan Li debuted, he immediately became the focus of the audience.

But different from the Oscar night, the guests on the scene are not moving, because they are all waiting-in order to avoid revealing their impatience, in order to avoid exposing their flattery, in order to avoid showing their superficial stupidity...everything Individuals are being patient, waiting patiently for the opportunity to appear, instead of impatiently sending it to the door as soon as Lanli appears, it is really too impatient, and there is no restraint.

Thus, Matthew was the first to meet.

After that, after waiting for a while, a lawyer familiar with Matthew walked over, "Hey, Matthew, this is the special guest who shines in the audience today, how about it, would you like to introduce me?" Or, "Matthew, why have I never heard you talk about Lord Lanly?" And so on, opening the situation in this way; or waiting for Andre and Eaton to match the bridge as the introduction, and then the atmosphere gradually became lively. stand up.

"Should we go up now?"

"No! You look too reckless!"

"But now is the best time, we also know Norman, so that it won't be abrupt."

"That would make us look very hungry! And very stupid! Grass! He saw us, smiled and nodded. Is my haircut messed up? **** Christ! I should go to the bathroom! God, it is now Opportunity, come on, David, let's go up now and keep smiling!"

Lan Li stared at the Beckhams who were walking towards him and showed a polite smile. Matthew standing next to him lowered his voice and said, "Be careful, they can't handle it."

"Relax, they are not much different from those in Hollywood, but they are too eager and exert too much effort." Lan Li also replied with a low voice with a smile on his face.

David Beckham and Victoria Beckham, from the moment when Lan Li appeared, their sights have always revolved around Lan Li, their attention has not left, and they are waiting for opportunities to come forward to say hello, even if There was an endless stream of people at the scene, and their eyes never left.

This is not difficult to understand.

Lan Li is an actor. It can be said that he shares a common topic with Victoria, who was once a singer and now a designer, and has many similarities with David, who was once a football player and is now a celebrity. They can easily compare with Lan Li. Find the words-like the countless Hollywood actor friends they have made.

But the point is that those Hollywood celebrities are not really high-class people, and only Lan Li, who was born as a hereditary aristocracy, can be regarded as worthy of the name. Over the years, the Beckhams have also tried to open up the situation by making friends with some top actors, such as Benedict Cumberbatch, such as Eddie Redmayne, but unfortunately, they have no way to lead them. Enter the real upper class; and Lan Li is obviously different. He is undoubtedly the best window of the entertainment industry to the upper class, the undisputed perfect choice.

In the final analysis, in fact, the Beckhams and Harvey Weinstein's abacus are the same, but the methods and approaches may be different.

But further speaking, people go to higher places and water flows to lower places. This is also the goal of everyone. There are not many freaks like Lan Li. The goal of longing for success and embracing happiness is the same, but the difference in the methods and means to achieve the goal can distinguish between people.

So, there is nothing to fuss about.

However, after waiting and waiting, observing and observing, the Beckhams could not find the opportunity. Instead, they did not expect to be "noted" by Lan Li. Their sights collided head-on, and they did not pass by. He also greeted him with a smile, and the opportunity was not to be missed. When the time did not come, Victoria immediately urged David to come forward.

David and Victoria are whispering ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Lan Li and Matthew are also whispering, and then the Beckhams officially stood in front of Lan Li.

"Hey, Lan Li... Mr. Lan Li? Mr. Hall? Your Excellency Lan Li? Or is it Master Lan Li? Sorry, I'm not sure how to call it right." David Beckham took the lead and took the initiative. Stretching out his right hand towards Lan Li, the iconic duck voice slightly broke the serious atmosphere, creating a bit of joy and relaxation. Coupled with that bright and handsome smile, the first impression was really bright. .

Lan Li glanced at Matthew with a mere glance-obviously, for many years after retiring, the Beckhams have always been in the upper class of London. Although they still have not been able to enter the mainstream, they are already the first among celebrities. There is a ladder, and there is no problem with the etiquette in social situations. At least it is much better than Harvey Weinstein's painting of a tiger, and it is also much more comfortable.

But Matthew still didn't have much expression.

Lan Li could interpret a deep meaning from Matthew's calm eyes: too enthusiastic and too flattering. This made the smile on Lan Li's mouth burst out.
