Richard-de-Vere (Richard-de-Vere) is from the family of the earls of Oxford, England.

The Earl of Oxford is a member of the traditional titles of England. The history can be traced back to the 13th century. The family archives are rich and respected, and the relationship with the British royal family is extremely close. In many important battles and struggles, they have all established Even in the contemporary era, the hard-earned royalist party still has a lofty and noble status.

The 17th Earl of Oxford also founded the Oxford Man Theatre Company, which was at its peak and talented at the beginning of the 17th century. Later, some people even suggested that Edard-de-Vere was in addition to William Shakespeare. In addition, the most likely true author of Shakespeare’s script.

However, the title of the Earl of Oxford was inherited by the British Prime Minister Herbert-Henry-Asquith in 1925 after the surname was tossed back and forth twice; and Richard De Ville was succeeded by the British Prime Minister Herbert-Henry-Asquith in 1925. The lineage inherited is the Marquis of Dublin.

Although the title of the Marquis is one level higher than that of the Earl, the dignity of the Marquis of Dublin can only be said to be mediocre, more like an honorary title. Among the five noble ranks, the title of the marquis has always been the least; now; , The Marquis of Dublin no longer owns the territory, the power is no longer what it used to be.

Despite this, the Marquis Richard is still one of the most important members of the upper class in London, and he has a close relationship with the royal family, and his power and status are second to none. This is a true nobleman-family history passed down by the source, unique and noble social status , And the prosperous family wealth and reputation.

Even in the 21st century, without work and relying solely on the shelter of the family's shadow, Richard De Weir can live at ease.

For the past few months, George has been trying to contact Richard. Because Richard just fired his trust fund manager at the beginning of February, he was very dissatisfied with the other party’s work methods and results; George hoped to win Richard to the Barclays Bank where he was employed, and then become his fund manager. .

In fact, not only George, but also other competitors are really in the minority. George spent countless time and energy on this big client; but Richard is a strange and elusive character. In the past few months In time, George couldn't even lock Richard's position, let alone sit down and talk face to face, even through Arthur's contacts, it was still extremely difficult.

Yesterday, George received a call from Richard's butler and made an appointment to meet this afternoon. This made George ecstatic. After months of hard work, he finally made a breakthrough. Although it was only a meeting, it was an important first step. Everything was full of possibilities.

But... But just after we met, I came over and drank.

Looking at Richard who was smiling in front of him, George Hall's eyes condensed slightly, his expression remained unchanged, but a deep bitterness arose in his heart, and they didn't even have time for a good greeting. The bitterness of his mouth tightened George's back muscles. How could he forget, Richard's preference.

It is worth mentioning that Richard inherited the preferences of the seventeenth Earl of Oxford and has a fanatical preference for drama. He has enjoyed both large and small plays in the West End, and his taste is very picky. He even went to Stockholm or Boston, just to watch an outstanding drama.

Such a preference is not a rare secret among the nobles. In the past few months, Richard has been traveling around major cities in Europe and his whereabouts are erratic.

Without hearing George's answer, Richard adjusted his position leisurely as if there was no gap between George's emotions, his face was full of contentment, and the corners of his mouth were full of smiles and said, "Why, do you still mind? Lanly-Hall, your youngest son, is it still a taboo topic now?"

It is not that Richard doesn't know, but he doesn't care. For him, some noble rules are applicable, some are not.

"Apart from Lan Li's identity, this'Les Miserable World' has received countless praises. Even Aristel Smith has completely surrendered, do you know? I met Aristel and he has watched back and forth. Three times. **** Christ, do you know how picky that old guy is? But after three times, after three games, he is still full of praise and can hardly imagine. I just rushed back here specifically."

Ignoring George, Richard was eloquent. At this time the waiter just brought the brandy up, and he sighed, "God, finally. The weather in Casablanca is very comfortable now, and I am enjoying my vacation. After coming back to London suddenly, I started to feel uncomfortable again. I already miss the sunshine there."

The air fell silent for a while. After drinking two sips of brandy, Richard exhaled a long breath, showing a relaxed expression.

George knew that it was his turn to speak, "This is London. It is disgusting, but it is always nostalgic." George showed a decent smile, "What's more, there is the West End here. Who can reject the West End? There is no West End in Casablanca."

His muscles stiffened, and his heart was dripping blood, but George still had to stay graceful. The so-called noble network is actually a double-edged sword. George can completely cut off Renly's career as an actor in London through his contacts; similarly, George must obey his contacts and choose to lower his head to compromise at certain moments.

Even if you don't accept it, you have to endure it. To enjoy the respect brought by the title of nobility, one must accept the corresponding restraints, and gains and losses, this is the law of society. Even with a loud slap, George must keep smiling.

"Ha. That's the truth." Richard laughed happily, and finally got his own satisfactory answer.

Rather than waiting for further persecution, it is better to take the initiative. Although the humiliation has already made George feel suffocated, the noble life is suffocated in real time. The ubiquitous rules and regulations make breathing more cautious.

Therefore, George did not panic, but showed enthusiasm and amicably received, "The Almeida Theater version of'Les Miserables' has really been a hot topic for discussion recently. How about, is the Lord interested in going to watch it?"

George offered an invitation. In fact, this is his only choice; in that case, he might as well take advantage of the trend and win Richard over and complete the work he has been working hard on.

"Of course!" Richard's entire face bloomed, and he clapped his hands. "How about, shall we go now?"

"Now?" Rao was mentally prepared, and his expression was unavoidable at this time. Richard's behavior was too abrupt and impulsive, and for the nobles, this was something they had been doing their best to avoid.

Richard didn't care, and nodded happily, "Of course, do you still have to wait? Now in the past, the Almeida Theater can be reached in only 20 minutes. We still have time to enjoy some pre-dinner snacks and exchange our thoughts. If you have a chance, maybe you can meet the actors."

As he spoke, Richard did not wait for George's consent. He stretched out his hand for a gesture and summoned the waiter, "My coat and hat."

"Lord!" George couldn't help being a little flustered.

Richard moved for a while, "By the way, you still keep the boxes in your house?" Richard didn't seem to have any scheming - or he didn't care, and then said, "Almeida Theater has only There are six noble boxes, and everyone else has to line up to watch this show. I heard that one box belongs to the Hall family, right?"

The Almeida Theater is not a top theater. There are only six aristocratic boxes inside, four of which belong to the Hall, Hamilton, Dunlop, and Dormer houses, and the remaining two pass by Andre early. Hamilton's hand was given to the two dukes for their use.

Tickets for the theater for the next three months have been sold out, and noble boxes have been booked early. This was the time to witness the nobles' long-sleeved dance ability. Everyone took the initiative to contact the owners of these six noble boxes to arrange their own theater schedule. If you control the box, you have the social initiative in the most recent period of time.

Eaton-Domer is the weakest in power and status among all the noble box controllers, and all the rights to use for the next three months have been arranged early. By the way, his personal clothing brand has been strongly promoted. Just after two private parties, Eaton has already benefited a lot.

In the Hall's box, Lan Li handed it over to Arthur. This also makes Arthur the hottest party planner in recent times. He can be seen almost everywhere in London.

Richard's return to London was a little slower, and he had obviously missed a lot of good opportunities. Therefore, we have today's meeting, and the meeting time is two o'clock in the afternoon, not the usual afternoon tea time of three o'clock or three thirty, but two o'clock. In other words, without a box, there is no follow-up.

After George realized this, his anger could not be vented, but it turned into endless suffocation, "Of course. But, I need to notify Arthur in advance~www.novelhall.com~ Otherwise, if you are rude, then Not so good."

"Yes, sure." Richard didn't seem to care about the generality, but he got up without stopping. "You can ask Arthur to see who is using the box today. Maybe we can watch it together."

The implication is that even if the box is already used, Richard has to go. As a well-known idiot in London, Richard's behavior is not surprising.

"That's our pleasure." His mouth was full of bitterness and blood, and he could only swallow it in his stomach. George also stood up, nodded to the waiter, and then ignored his coat and hat, and immediately dialed Arthur. "The Marquis of Dublin and I are now heading to the Almeida Theatre. There are anyone in the box. I mean, anyone, let them leave. I don’t care how you solve it. We will pass now."

After the explanation, George hung up the phone.

About two minutes later, Edith’s phone vibrated and a text message came: George and the Marquis of Dublin are heading to the Almeida Theatre.

"damn it."
