From the Carrick Club to the mysterious guests, the charity auction organized by Alexander Hamilton is undoubtedly the number one hot topic in London at the end of summer and early autumn. That invitation letter is a treasure that everyone desires. It is said to be a must-have for the current hot spot.

It's not just a new generation of aristocrats, from emerging artists to hot financial magnates, from the three generations of the highly anticipated consortium to self-made rising stars, from art collectors masters to reselling speculative business hunters... the entire elite class The middle position among them all boiled in hustle and bustle.

Because the top bigwigs don’t need to attend the charity auction in person, sending an agent to attend is already a face; also because the new generation of fresh people is not qualified to get the invitation letter, and if you sharpen your head, you don’t necessarily get a righteous look. , Which also makes all the focal points gathered in the middle part of the pyramid——

If they get the invitation letter, they may be able to continue to climb up and promote their names in the upper class; if they miss the invitation letter, they may be forgotten directly, and the reputation they have built before will be hit. As a result, everyone is trying to make their name appear on the invitation list.

This war has been filled with smoke before it even started.

As the person behind the successful promotion of this drama and as an important part of the focus, Renly left the house unhurriedly and headed towards the West End of London.

Before officially heading to the charity auction, Lan Li has a special itinerary.

Lan Li took the lead to visit the current chairman of the Garrick Club, thanked the charity event for related matters, and started a friendly conversation, which also included Lan Li’s proposal to return to the West End, which is absolutely universal What to look forward to-Lan Li himself is also looking forward to it, hoping that he can stand on the theater stage again and try more challenges; and the chairman expects Lan Li's return to bring more young blood.

"Only when young people continue to join in, the West District can continue to operate continuously. The most important thing is that we old guys can see more wonderful works. I have not seen that kind of work for a long, long time. I jumped up the work. It’s really disappointing."

It can be said that these private clubs follow the ancient and cumbersome traditional rules, are stubborn, self-proclaimed, and even reject the progress of the times; but it can also be said that these private clubs have their own persistence and love, which may be for others. A total disaster, but for the likes, it is a hearty and timely rain, allowing them to find each other.

Afterwards, Lanly, accompanied by Matthew, went to the Garrick Club.

In the end, Lan Li did not choose a special dress with a cap and T paired with jeans. Instead, he continued the formal etiquette and appeared on the scene dressed in a suit.

Dark red suit jacket with dark blue suit trousers, pearl white shirt with dark blue narrow tie, the overall outfit still continued youthful vitality in a calm, and finally a pair of brown maroon Oxford shoes as embellishment, became the finishing touch, faintly There was a hint of publicity and vitality.

Not only Lan Li, fellow Matthew also spent careful thought on dressing.

A smoky gray dark plaid suit with an off-white shirt dress, compared to the usual black suits in court, obviously added a touch of liveliness-although it is not an extraordinary breakthrough, it is already very rare for Matthew, the left chest The burgundy square scarf is definitely an exceptional highlight.

There is no need for words at all. When Renly and Matthew come together on the stage, the surrounding sights can't help but be projected, enough to create a hot spot.

When I arrived at the club, about 45 minutes before the official start of the auction, a bustling group of reporters gathered at the door. There were at least 30 people who looked roughly, but it was different from the crowded and lively award ceremony. All reporters All of them appeared in suits and leather shoes, gathered together in an orderly and polite manner, and started conversations friendly and enthusiastically, unable to conceal their excitement and excitement.

Even if the guests showed up, they did not rush forward. They seemed to be bound by the suit. They raised the camera to take a photo with a certain degree of restraint. Even the flash became quiet and polite, and the sound of the shutters gathered together. It's like a beautiful symphony.

There was a faint sense of joy in such a scene, but Lan Li was not surprised at all. Even in places where the royal family played, reporters will never disappear; similarly, as long as it is a formal and solemn occasion, paparazzi are willing to curb their arrogance and show etiquette, which is also a unique British landscape.

There was no questioning session at the scene, and the reporters just whispered, "Your Excellency Lan Li, please wait a moment."

The difference can be noticed in the small details. It is not "Lan Li" or "Master Lan Li", but "Lord Lan Li", showing different standards of treatment.

At the same time, the call of "Lord Matthew" was also mixed in. Although Lan Li and Matthew did not stop, their progress was obviously slowed down, allowing reporters to record every moment with the camera. This charity auction that sensationalized the entire London Vanity Fair was early among ordinary people. It spreads in China, and I am curious about the bits and pieces. Just like the royal family’s "century wedding", the gossip of the nobles is always particularly attractive——

Even just attending the guest lineup can make them excited.

The footsteps of Lan Li and Matthew stopped at the entrance of the club. Two staff members dressed in black suits greeted them and expressed their friendship with polite smiles, "Your Excellency Lanly, Your Excellency Matthew, please show the invitation letter."

Even the well-known familiar faces need to be reviewed one by one because of the special membership system of the Garrick Club. Not everyone can enter the venue.

So, someone will definitely ask, if the royal family members or the real big names appear? Can they not enter either? The answer is yes: no.

First of all, these elites clearly know the rules of private clubs. They don’t want others to break into their own territory, so naturally they will not break into others’ territory. A private club with a membership system is their own one-acre three-point field. It is impossible for them to covet other private clubs. That is a kind of pride.

Secondly, if there really is a thorn head trying to challenge the rules and regulations, then the answer is the same as above: No! Otherwise, in the three-hundred-year history of the White Club, the queen will not be the only woman who has entered it. Other female members of the royal family will not be eligible for admission, including Princess Diana and Princess Kate.

Lan Li and Matthew presented the invitation letters respectively, and after getting confirmation, they entered the club's gate.

Entering the lobby on the first floor from the periphery, you can immediately see the Victorian style constructed with burgundy carpets, crystal chandeliers and dark brown cabinets. Every little detail reflects the long and deep historical heritage, low-key Luxury is everywhere.

"Your Excellency Lan Li, Your Excellency Matthew, please here." Four staff members in black suits stood in two rows at the entrance of the lobby. One of them took the initiative to greet them and made a recommendation.

Under the guidance of the staff, Lan Li and Matthew once again came to the cloakroom next to them, where they could store their hats, coats or related items; at the same time, they checked the invitation letter for the second time and used it on the sign-in book. The fountain pen signed, which formally confirmed their attendance.

This method is also to deal with emergencies. If there are uninvited guests, ordinary guests, they will be rejected at the entrance of the club; if special guests, they can’t make a farce in the public, then the staff will guide them into the club. Lobby, solve the problem here——

Next to the cloakroom is a small lounge where many things can be solved.

There are too many secrets inside the nobility. They cannot easily expose their weaknesses and need to maintain their perfect image in the public. This also means that they must be prepared to face different emergencies. The situation, this will not be in a hurry.

After the second confirmation and the completion of the sign-in, this is the official admission.

Under the guidance of the staff, walk along the corridor to the showroom on the northwest corner of the first floor, and then the staff standing at the door of the room handed the auction manual to Lan Li and Matthew respectively, and gave a brief introduction to the auction. .

This auction manual records all the auction items of this charity auction. Guests can read and browse the relevant information in the manual in advance, and then mark the auction items that they want to participate in the bidding and the auction items that they want to join. In other words, the owner of the auction item, and the auction item he wishes to include in his collection, and so on.

At this time ~www.novelhall.com~ the guests appeared in the showroom one after another, talking in a low voice, and the waiter carrying champagne walked through it, even if it was the appearance of Lan Li Didn’t create too much confusion, at most I just looked around with my gaze, occasionally greeted with each other in a friendly manner, and then continued to focus on the showcase in front of my eyes——

The auction items displayed in the showcase are the items from this auction, which can be browsed one-to-one according to the auction manual, and you can confirm your thoughts by viewing the real objects.

"Andre knows that you donated the snuff bottle?" Matthew noticed one of Lan Li's donations at a glance: Although it was anonymous, their friends all knew that the Tang Dynasty lady's snuff bottle came from Lan Li. Collection, Andre wanted to own, but because it was Lan Li's favorite item, he was unable to do so.

Unexpectedly, today Lan Li actually donated it and became the main axis of the charity auction. Matthew can now imagine Andrei's expression.

The corner of Lan Li's mouth rose slightly, "He should know now."
