Chapter 2104

Matthew turns and leaves, leaving Langley and Roman alone.

Roman Abramovich, the owner of Chelsea and the world's top millionaire, is indeed the No. 43 mysterious guest. But even Alexander Hamilton can't be completely sure why Roman participated in the charity auction - because his specifications have exceeded the water standard.

Today's charity auction is attended by the middlemen of the upper class. However, Roman has reached the top level, and there is no need to attend or gild at all. Just like the blue ceremony, Roman's coming to the Carrick club is like a gathering of college students. People admire him, but they can't get close to him easily, That fundamental level gap creates another gap.

Roman's invitation letter was sent by Alexander himself, but Alexander just wanted to hang up his name. It's like "gravity" hanging up the name of "recommended by James Cameron" when it was shown in mainland China, hoping to arouse the curiosity and expectation of more ordinary audiences.

Including Roman, Alexandria invited five really top people, all of whom sent assistants or agents to attend - which is very rare. However, Alexander did not expect that Roman actually participated in the auction, and also attended the reception. He was killed by surprise. Now things become interesting: Why did Roman participate in the auction?

Matthew accompanied lanli, but after a brief conversation, he found that Roman was always talking about the weather, charity or football. Of course, he also mentioned the snuff bottle. "Ha, I really didn't expect that it was provided by you." similar exclamations were full of politeness and greetings, and the real reason behind his complete silence, Matthew also realized that Roman did it on purpose.

Roman refuses to get to the point unless he talks to Langley alone.

Roman showed his attitude, so Matthew also looked for an excuse to turn around and leave - Roman should not eat blue Li alive... Right? But to say the least, even if it does happen, he can't help standing by, so it's better for him to turn around and live alone.

"So you like football, not football?" Roman was slightly surprised. "I thought rugby was just a sport that Americans like."

"To be exact, I like outdoor sports, rock climbing, skydiving, surfing, or... Tennis. But compared with football, I occasionally watch football in the United States. You should know that American TV stations don't have much interest in broadcasting football. I have to find some topics about them In a light witty way, Langley joked about American culture.

Roman grinned and concluded, "so you like sports that not so many people like."

This interpretation... Is a bit strange, but there is no way to refute it. Lan Li is dumbfounded. "Maybe it's because I'm not special enough, so I hope I can be special." There is no need for him to tell the tycoon the stories about the sickbed of his last life.

"Ha ha, this is my favorite joke of the year." Roman laughed directly and cheerfully. Without the restraint of aristocratic etiquette, he showed his unique cheerfulness. Many guests around him cast their eyes, but no one dared to approach them easily. A strong atmosphere formed around the two absolute focus figures, excluding all ghosts and monsters. Obviously, it is a wrong demonstration to use "ghosts and monsters" to describe the guests present, But... Somehow there is a sense of appropriateness.

Ignoring the curious gaze around, Roman went on to say, "I've heard countless rumors before. I always feel that you are a professional actor who devotes himself to acting career. I didn't expect that you have so many hobbies besides acting. It's an accident."

Roman and Langley did not deliberately lower their voice and secretly hide their actions; But also maintain the basic etiquette of social occasions, there is no loud noise, to talk in a normal tone. In this way, although some fragments of words can be vaguely captured around, they can't be completely pieced together. Even if they lengthen their ears to eavesdrop, they still don't know what Langley and Roman are talking about.

Lanli didn't follow Roman's words, but interpreted it from another angle. "I don't know, Roman actually noticed my rumors. It seems that I have to be more cautious in the future, otherwise I will make a bad impression unintentionally, which will be bad."

Roman said meaningfully, "I don't know, you even care about those rumors. We should all know that hearsay is the most unreliable thing. "

There are countless rumors about Roman, because Roman is too mysterious. Even in Russia, he is a man who lives in "legend". As time goes by, he also lives in the rumors, the good, the bad, the positive, the negative... The true and the false can't be distinguished.

"If I didn't care, I wouldn't be here, would I? It's obviously easier to sign a check. " Blue Li quietly gave a counterattack.

In fact, Roman and Langley are striving for the initiative of discourse. Both of them are using their own rhythm to lead the direction and atmosphere of the whole conversation, which leads to the fact that "question" and "answer" do not fit on the same channel between you and me, and they are always changing the focus.

The last sentence of Langley is the same. He knows that Roman is implying the distortion of the "Abramovich rumor", and Hollywood should know more about it; But he ignored it directly, and the topic turned back to the charity auction. He mocked himself for "taking part in charity activities for the sake of fame and wealth", never mentioning the grudges of the hall family, and then threw the spearhead at Roman

Why did you come to the auction? If it's not because I care about rumors, if it's not for fame and fortune

Despite Langley's offensive, Roman is still not slow. He says with a smile, "isn't this one thing the British are good at - complicating simple things."

"What can be solved by signing a check is to hold a charity auction. It's like setting up a stage for everyone to stand up and perform, waiting for the spotlight to shine; Or, you can ask directly, but you need to hint in circles, expecting others to guess, turning conversation into a guessing game, and love into a psychological battle. Isn't that so? "

On Roman's baby face, his eyes twinkled with bright light. He filled up the skills of pointing mulberry and cursing locust, and then opened fire towards Lan Li. His words with accent had no compromise persistence - and, of course, sharp!

Who on earth said Roman was a quiet and shy man?

However, instead of being flustered, Langley chuckled, "I don't know if you have read the history of Britain or France - or Russia, especially those aristocrats in history. Let's take French food as an example."

"Once upon a time, French food was only coarse food for the poor, and even the king was no exception. You can imagine that those royal nobles were drinking Marseilles fish soup, which obviously did not meet the expectations of the people for the royal family. Until Henry II, they gradually began to pay attention to food, and were influenced by the Italian Renaissance; Then it came to Louis XIV, which created the French cuisine that is now popular all over the world. In fact, the whole core is very simple, with only one word: sense of ceremony. "

Of course, the actual situation is certainly not so simple, but Langley's humorous tone makes Roman laugh.

"Look, that's the difference between nobles and civilians. Simple things are complicated because they have enough time and wealth. They don't need to run for life. They can slow down and enjoy the ceremoniousness brought by the sense of ceremony to show their differences." Blue Li gently jaw head, ended his "heresy".

Roman looked at lenley quietly for a moment, then a big smile came out on her baby face. "So, should we keep it?"

The subtext is: I can't refute, you're right, you're right.

Instead of commenting, Langley gave Roman the initiative to choose between going around in circles or going straight to the theme; But in fact, it is lanli who really takes the initiative, because lanli is the one who gives up the right of choice, while romance passively falls into the situation of having to make a choice.

Roman's eyes meaningfully stayed on Langley. "Now I begin to doubt whether it is Andre who controls the discourse of Sisyphus pictures or you who are the real speaker."

This is a declarative sentence, but Lan Li can taste the test

Sisyphus pictures? Sisyphus pictures? Lanli really did not expect that the main purpose of Roman involved Sisyphus film, which is absolutely unexpected; But step back and think calmly, it seems that Sisyphus film is the best answer. In addition, Langley really can't think of the connection between him and Roman.

Now it seems that Roman's reason for attending the charity auction, on the one hand, is for Alexander's sake. In the final analysis, he still needs to give the future Duke some face. Moreover, charity activities also contribute to fame, which is only 1.5 million pounds. Why not? On the other hand, it's for Andre. More precisely, it's Sisyphus pictures, which Andre founded.

Therefore, when auctioning the snuff bottle, Roman lavished money in order to support Alexander and to get in touch with Andre. As long as he gave the snuff bottle to Andre, Roman could easily establish contact with Andre; Or more cleverly, invite Andre to taste the snuff bottle to avoid being so explicit.

But I didn't expect that the name of "Langley hall" was accidentally killed!
