Charity auctions occur every year, every month, and even every week. Various charity auctions fill the daily life of the upper class..
Because charity auctions also shoulder many different functions, the first is the good reputation brought by charity, followed by the tax deduction function brought by charitable donations, and thirdly, it is also an important social occasion for the elite.：
Imagine that top figures like royal family members or senior artists always stay away from people thousands of miles away. Even if they want to please, they can't find opportunities. No slightest disturbance can escape their sharp eyes. If you don't pay attention, you may take pictures. But charity auctions are different. If the charity items they donate can eventually be auctioned for a high price and used for charity, there will naturally be a sense of intimacy, which can open up the situation..
There are countless similar situations, because people who can join the elite class and upper class society have actually seen countless big things in the world. They have money and reputation, glory and power, etc., and ordinary things cannot impress them at all. The charity auction is the only occasion where others can "open/pay/bribe", so how can you miss it so easily?？
Therefore, every charity auction is very particular, from the size of the guest lineup to the value of the auction items, to the weight of the special guests, everything is an invisible war on a social occasion. Don’t underestimate the organizers of charity events.
The charity auction to be held this Saturday is very special. It is an auction jointly organized by Alexander Hamilton and the Red Cross..
As the eldest son of the Duke of Hamilton, Alexander's fame and reputation among the London aristocracy are second to none. This time he personally organized this auction to raise funds for the Red Cross. All donations will be used for war-torn areas in Africa. The assistance plan includes vaccines, medicines, water resources, etc., especially the minor children who are currently suffering from malaria. They urgently need the support of medicines and medical teams..
There is no doubt that this charity auction is of great significance.
With the help of Andre and Matthew, Alexander completed the organization and planning of this charity event. Many people thought that this was a special arrangement by Alexander to pave the way for Andre..
In the past year, Andre's related actions have become significantly more frequent. Sisyphus Films is the best proof. The youngest son of the Hamilton family seems to have finally cheered up and ended his drunken life. He decided to use his own abilities to create a career. As the eldest brother, how could Alexander not support it? What's more, Andre was originally the youngest son who grew up loved by his father and brother..
It is precisely because of this that people are looking forward to attending this charity auction. After all, the prestige and energy possessed by the Hamilton family are definitely not a small family, so the lineup of guests attending the auction cannot be underestimated. Not to mention the Hamilton family itself..
Now, this auction has further revealed the identity of the mysterious guest, who is actually Renly Hall! Judging from recent signs, does this mean that...Renly is really going to return to London? And this charity auction is Renly's stage？
If this is the case, then this charity auction is absolutely not to be missed..
This is what Renly wanted to achieve.
Instead of shouting out with your own voice, or making a high-profile appearance to create a topic, you use trivial information to lay out the mystery bit by bit. In the process of spreading gossip, you slowly increase curiosity and expectations, and then create A kind of "secret known by only a few people" effect, the momentum will be accumulated bit by bit between word of mouth, just like the intensive drumbeat before the performance is about to begin, creating the first moment of debut. A climax, bringing all the spotlights and spotlights together, waiting for the moment of full explosion.
Today is the moment when the spotlight turns on.
Matthew woke up Renly early in the morning, not intentionally to break Renly's little habit of sleeping in, but because there were indeed many things that needed to be done today..
After the alarm function was completed, Matthew was about to turn around and leave the room, but when he came to the door, he stopped again, turned around and looked back, and sure enough he saw Renly sitting on the bed, his shoulders slumped, his eyes still tight The floor was closed, and he fell asleep again after getting up halfway..
Matthew couldn't help but shook his head slightly, "I thought you would recognize the bed." This is a new home and a new bed. In a new environment, Renly always needs some time to adapt; but obviously, this time is an exception. Renly had no problems at all and slept so well that Matthew felt a little helpless..
“Um? "Renly's voice came over in a low voice..
Matthew shook his head slightly, but still asked patiently, "Renly, do you need my help?" Otherwise, he felt that Renly might not be able to get up..
“ah? "Renly raised his head slightly, but his chaotic brain couldn't think at all, so he couldn't hear Matthew's words clearly. After a moment of pause, Renly continued, "I'm hungry. I want to drink porridge." Headless. After saying a few words without thinking, he then lifted up the quilt and walked towards the bathroom with his eyes closed, but it seemed a little difficult, so that he wandered around the bed in confusion..
Seeing Renly's childish behavior, Matthew had given up complaining and walked over directly. He held Renly's right hand and led Renly into the bathroom. Then he helped Renly squeeze the toothpaste onto the toothbrush and stuffed it into the bathroom. Li's hand, then turned and left.
After washing up, my chaotic brain finally woke up a little. Although I still felt that I had not slept enough, my strong self-control still controlled me. I went to the first floor in my pajamas and could smell it from a distance. The smell of white porridge made Renly's mouth curl up..
I remember that when Renly was a child, he had a high fever and couldn't eat anything. He just missed a bite of white porridge. However, there is no such thing as white porridge in traditional British cuisine. After Philip told George and Elizabeth, they didn't care at all. He simply ignored Renly's need to make things difficult and just left it to the doctor to deal with. In the end, Phillip asked around about how to make white porridge and cooked a pot for Renly with his own hands..
Miraculously, I vomited whatever I ate before, but I swallowed the white porridge. Then, I covered my sweat all night, and the high fever went away the next day..
Later, in middle school, Matthew once watched Philip telling the cook to make white porridge for Renly. He also heard the allusion. When he was tired, sick, or had no appetite, Renly always liked white porridge. Once I learned about Renly’s weird preferences.
But over time, it became no longer strange..
Now, Philip has officially become Renly's butler. He lives in the guest room in the northwest corner of the first floor, facing the garden, and has his own world. At the same time, Philip also hired a cook for Renly to be responsible for the day. Three meals, in just one week, the entire rhythm of life has become routine, even more orderly than life in New York..
Renly sat down at the dining table, gestured to the porridge in front of him with his eyes, and asked Matthew, "Do you need it?"？”
Matthew pointed to the eggs, salad and chicken breast in front of him and expressed a friendly refusal - he really had no interest in white porridge..
“Master Renly, do you need to wear a formal suit today? "Phillip appeared at the door of the restaurant and asked politely.
The so-called formal suit is actually a complicated hand-customized three-piece suit. The shirt front, sleeves, collar, cuffs, etc. are all separated. It needs to be assembled part by part. It cannot be completed by just one person. Those who wear it must get help from others.
Then Renly will need Phillip's help..
Renly has not worn such a formal suit for a long, long time, because Hollywood does not need such specifications at all. Instead, it will look too grand and trigger unnecessary discussions, even for the Oscars; and outside of high-end parties, Renly Li spent all his time on performances, and his occasional leisure activities were all outdoor challenges. Suits were obviously not the best choice. He had almost forgotten the cumbersomeness and trouble of formal suits..
The reason why Philip asked such a question is very clear: today is the occasion when Renly officially returns to London, and George and Elizabeth may also appear. Does he need to be treated with the highest standards?？
“No, no need." Renly answered directly without hesitation..
Matthew added, "He decided to return to London his own way, not the way of the 'other side.'" After saying that, Matthew cast a glance at Renly, which made Renly laugh happily and nod. give affirmation.
Philip did not continue to persuade, simply agreed with Renly's decision, and then turned around and left the restaurant..
Matthew picked up the knife and fork and started to enjoy his breakfast, "What is your way? If you follow the usual Hollywood style, it would be a hat, T-shirt, jeans and sneakers. Break the shackles of rules and regulations and keep up with the changes of the times. trend.”
“I don't mind." Renly shrugged lightly, "If the Garrick Club allows me to enter, I have no problem at all. They may need a suit and armor to become a superhero, but I don't need it, remember? ? I'm an actor and this is the most powerful mask.”
Matthew couldn't help but chuckled: There seems to be no problem with this interpretation, and it is also very innovative. "I will let Andre suggest it. Challenge the decadent rules of two centuries, break the taboos, and also What could be more exciting and powerful than making an appearance like this?？”
Renly pursed his lips and said, "I am not Mrs. Thatcher. My contribution and influence are not that strong. Otherwise, the royal award would not be the result." Being so self-deprecating made Matthew's smile brighter. stand up.
