Chapter 2101

"... I'll go back first." Edith is obviously not ready to continue to be involved in the reception. Coming to the auction is her limit.

Blue Li is not surprised, gently jaw head, "I let Nathan escort you back."

"No. I can do it myself. " Edith didn't even think about it, so she waved her hand and refused.

As usual, lanli would not say much. They are all adults and independent individuals with behavioral ability. There is no need to force each other to act in their own way: they seldom interfere in each other's decisions, or they strictly maintain the boundaries between them.

Today, however, lanli was a bit abnormal. He didn't agree, but he didn't object. He just looked at Edith quietly, with a very attentive expression.

Edith rolled her eyes and said impatiently, "don't pity me. I don't need it. " But after the words came out, Edith realized her impulsivity and irritability, just like a powder keg. She had to close her eyes and take a deep breath to adjust her state. Then she went on, "I mean, you don't have to sympathize with me, you don't have to worry, I know how to come and I know how to leave. Forget it? I entered the auction without an invitation. Now I have the ability to deal with problems independently. You just need to let go. "

"It just proves that you are smarter than George and Elizabeth." Lanli still has time to joke at this time. Obviously, Edith entered the garick club through Arthur, which is not a difficult puzzle; If Mr. and Mrs. hall were looking for Arthur today, it would be much easier.

Edith was also helpless. She forbeared and forbeared. After all, she didn't hold back. The smile on the corner of her mouth rose. But she also noticed that lanli's eyes still didn't shrink or hesitated. She always looked at herself firmly. She breathed out, "you won't give up, will you?"

"I'm just offering a simpler solution." Lan Li is noncommittal.

Edith grinned her teeth fiercely. "I don't like this version of you... It's too much. I prefer the cold-blooded version. Can you switch back?"

Blue ceremony eyebrow tail lightly a Yang, "don't push an inch." As you wish, switch back now.

Edith couldn't help showing her teeth. She felt toothache, but she didn't say anything more. She ran away, muttering, "Nathan, Nathan..."

In the end, there were only lanli and Eaton left. Lanli took the initiative to say hello, "let's go, we still have a reception waiting."

……

The reception is also held in the Carrick club. From the Theater Hall on the first floor to the banquet hall on the second floor, waiters are responsible for guiding the guests along the way. On the one hand, they should avoid getting lost, and on the other hand, they should avoid wandering around. Otherwise, it would be too impolite to break into the private space of club members.

When you enter the banquet hall on the second floor, you can immediately feel the luxury and comfort of aristocratic life, which continues the Victorian design style. Crystal chandeliers and Persian carpets make the whole space elegant, warm colors make the air warm, the narrow corridor at the entrance allows a car to pass through, and the left wing is a spacious rest room, Allowing guests to escape from the banquet for a short time; On the right is a smoking room and a bathroom.

A small hall can be reached through the corridor. Usually, it is a "card seat area" with four groups of sofas. When the guests are tired of socializing in the banquet hall, they can come here to sit down and chat in a relaxed manner. There is a cocktail bar beside them; Today, a buffet table was set up next to the bar - mainly because most of the guests didn't have time or opportunity to have lunch.

However, although the guests did not have the opportunity to enjoy lunch, a small number of guests gathered in the small hall at this time: the appearance of eating in public is not good-looking, especially for the aristocrats, they always insist that dining must be carried out above the table, standing or walking in the non table area, which is very impolite; Even at the banquet, the food must be made into small pieces, which can be easily put into the mouth, so as to ensure that there is no sauce on the lips and keep elegant. This is just a snack, not a dinner.

"You can't eat without a table." this kind of old-fashioned and morbid but stubborn dining etiquette has spread all the way from the aristocracy to the upper class, and it hasn't changed up to now - the same is true of lunches or parties at major Hollywood awards ceremonies, including the Oscars.

At this time, the guests who stay in the small hall are more upstarts, traitors or a few special cases; Otherwise, most of the guests do not want to be seen with their mouths full of food, and they can not afford a meal. Like this, after the cocktail party, the guests will go to dinner on their own, and there is no need to eat in the presence of other guests.

After passing through the small hall, you can enter the banquet hall, where you can see the busy scene of wearing fragrant clothes, drinking wine and changing cups.

As soon as lanli appeared, he immediately became the focus of the audience.

But different from the Oscar night, the guests on the scene all stood still, because they were waiting - to avoid revealing their impatience, to avoid exposing their flattery, to avoid showing their superficial stupidity... Everyone was being patient and waiting for the opportunity to appear, rather than waiting to be delivered to the door as soon as lenley appeared, That's really too impatient, no self-restraint.

So Matthew was the first to come forward.

Then, just waiting for a moment, the lawyer who is familiar with Matthew came over on his own initiative, "Hey, Matthew, this is the special guest who shines all over the audience today. How about that? Would you like to introduce me?" Or, "Matthew, how come I've never heard of you talking about Mr. Langley?" And so on, in this way to open up the situation; Or waiting for Andre and Eaton to take the lead, then the atmosphere will gradually become lively.

"Should we go up now?"

"No! You look so reckless

"But now is the best time for us to know Norman, so that we won't be abrupt."

"That would make us look very hungry! And very stupid! Grass! He saw us, smiling and nodding. Is my hair in a mess? Jesus Christ! I should have gone to the bathroom! God, now is the chance. Come on, David, let's go up now. Keep smiling

Langley looked at the Beckhams walking towards him with a polite smile. Matthew, standing beside him, said in a low voice, "be careful, they're not easy to deal with."

"Relax, they're not so different from the people in Hollywood. They're just too eager and too aggressive." Lan Li also gave a reply with a smile.

David and Victoria Beckhams, from the appearance of Langley, their eyes have always revolved around Langley. They have never left, waiting for the opportunity to say hello. Even if there is an endless stream of people at the scene, their eyes have never left.

It's not hard to understand.

As an actor, Langley has a common topic with Victoria, who used to be a singer and now a designer, and has many similarities with David, who used to be a football player and now a celebrity. They can easily find words with Langley - just like the countless Hollywood actor friends they have made.

But the point is that those Hollywood celebrities are not real upper class people. Only lanli, who is a hereditary aristocrat, can be regarded as worthy of the name. Over the years, the Beckhams have tried to open up the situation by making friends with some top actors, such as Benedict Cumberbatch and Eddie Redman. Unfortunately, they have no way to lead them into the real upper class; Lanli, however, is obviously different. He is undoubtedly the best window for the entertainment industry to reach the upper class, an undisputed perfect choice.

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

But what's more, people go higher and water flows lower, which is also everyone's goal. There are not many freaks like Langley. The goal of yearning for success and embracing happiness is the same, but the differences in the methods and means to achieve the goal can distinguish the categories of people.

So, there's nothing to make a fuss about.

However, after waiting, observing and observing, the Beckhams did not find the opportunity. Instead, they were "noticed" by Langley. Their eyes directly collided with each other. They also said hello with a smile. The opportunity could not be lost. Victoria immediately urged David to come forward.

David and Victoria are whispering, and lenley and Matthew are also whispering. Then, the Beckhams formally stand in front of lenley.

"Hey, Mr. Langley... Mr. Langley? Mr. hall? Mr. Langley? Or master Langley? I'm sorry, but I'm not sure how to call it right. " David Beckham took the lead in opening his mouth and stretched out his right hand to lenley. The iconic duck voice slightly broke the serious atmosphere and created some cheerfulness and relaxation. Coupled with the brilliant and handsome smile, his first impression was really bright.

Langley glanced at Matthew from the rest of his eyes - obviously, for many years after retiring, the Beckhams have been wallowing in the upper class of London. Although they still haven't been able to enter the mainstream, they are the first step among celebrities. There is no problem with etiquette in social occasions. At least they are much better than Harvey Weinstein's dog, It's also a lot more comfortable.

But Matthew still didn't have much expression.

From Matthew's calm eyes, lanli could interpret a little meaning: too warm and too flattering. This let blue Li mouth corner smile not from bloom to open.
