2081 Layer-by-layer review
Starting from the Garrick Club to the mysterious guest, the charity auction organized by Alexander Hamilton is undoubtedly the hottest topic in London in late summer and early autumn. That invitation is a treasure that everyone is eager to get. It is said to be a must-have item for popular people nowadays..
It’s not just the new generation of aristocrats, from emerging artists to hot financial tycoons, from the much-anticipated third-generation consortium to self-made rising stars, from masters of art collectors to business hunters who resell and speculate... the entire elite class In the middle, everything is boiling with hustle and bustle..
Because the top bosses do not need to attend the charity auction in person, sending an agent to attend is already a prestige; and because the new generation of freshmen are not qualified to receive invitations, they may not be able to get a serious look even if they dig in. , which also makes all the focus focus on the middle part of the pyramid——
If they get the invitation, they may be able to continue to climb up and publicize their names in the upper class; if they miss the invitation, they may be forgotten directly, and the reputation they have created before will be hit. So everyone is trying their best to Get your name on the invitation list.
This war has already been filled with smoke before it even begins..
As the person who successfully promoted this drama and was an important part of the focus, Renly left the house unhurriedly and headed towards the West End of London..
Before officially going to the charity auction, Renly has a special itinerary.
Renly took the lead to visit the current chairman of the Garrick Club, expressed his gratitude for the charity event, and had a friendly conversation, which also included Renly's proposal to return to the West End of London, which was definitely popular with everyone. Things to look forward to - Renly himself is also looking forward to it, hoping that he can stand on the drama stage again and try more challenges; while the chairman hopes that Renly's return will bring more young blood.
“Only when young people continue to join in can the West End continue to operate. The most important thing is that we old guys can see more wonderful works. It has been a long, long time since I saw the kind of work that can make me Jumps up and works. This is so disappointing.”
It can be said that these private clubs all follow ancient and cumbersome traditional rules, are stubborn, complacent, and even refuse the progress of the times; but it can also be said that these private clubs have their own persistence and love, which may be confusing to others. A complete disaster, but for the fans, it is a hearty and timely rain, allowing them to find each other.
Later, Renly, accompanied by Matthew, went to the Garrick Club.
In the end, Renly did not choose to dress up with a hat and jeans, but continued the formal etiquette and appeared in a suit..
The dark red suit jacket is paired with dark blue suit pants, and the pearl white shirt is paired with a dark blue narrow tie. The overall outfit continues the youthful vitality in a calm manner. Finally, it is embellished with a pair of maroon Oxford shoes, which becomes the finishing touch and faint. There is a trace of flamboyant vitality among them..
Not only Renly, but also Matthew who was traveling with him also put great thought into his clothes..
Wearing a smoky gray dark plaid suit with an off-white shirt, it obviously adds a touch of liveliness compared to the black suit he usually wears in court. Although it is not a breakthrough, it is very rare for Matthew. The left chest The burgundy scarf is definitely a highlight.
There was no need for words at all. When Renly and Matthew appeared on the stage hand in hand, the surrounding eyes couldn't help but cast their gaze, which was enough to create a hot spotlight..
When we arrived at the club, it was about forty-five minutes before the auction officially started. There was a bustling group of reporters gathered at the door. At a glance, there were at least thirty people. However, it was different from the crowded and lively atmosphere of the award ceremony. All reporters All of them appeared in suits and ties, gathered together in an orderly and polite manner, and started talking friendly and enthusiastically, unable to conceal their excitement and excitement..
Even if the guests appeared, they did not rush forward. They seemed to be restrained by the suit. They raised their cameras to take pictures with a little restraint. Even the flashes became quiet and polite, and the sounds of the shutters gathered together. Like a beautiful and moving symphony.
There was a hint of joy in such a scene, but Renly was not surprised at all. Even where the royal family appeared, the reporters would never disappear; similarly, as long as it was a formal and solemn occasion, the paparazzi were willing to curb their arrogance. , showing etiquette, which is also the unique scenery of Britain.
There was no question and answer session at the scene. The reporters were just calling in a low voice, "Lord Renly, please wait a moment.".”
The difference can be seen in the small details. It is not "Renly" or "Master Renly", but "His Excellency Renly", which shows the different standards of treatment..
At the same time, calls for "Your Majesty Matthew" were also mixed in. Although Renly and Matthew did not stop, their progress slowed down significantly, allowing reporters to record every moment with their cameras. This event shocked the entire world. Vanity Fair's charity auction in London has long spread among ordinary people, who are curious about every detail. Just like the royal family's "wedding of the century", the gossip of aristocrats is always particularly attractive.——
Even just attending the guest lineup can make their blood boil..
Renly and Matthew stopped at the door of the club. Two staff members in black suits came forward and expressed their friendship with polite smiles. "Your Excellency Renly, Your Excellency Matthew, please present your invitation letter.".”
Even well-known and familiar faces need to be reviewed one by one because of the special membership system of the Garrick Club. Not everyone can enter..
So, some people will definitely ask, what if members of the royal family or really big names appear? Are they not allowed in either? The answer is yes: no.
First of all, these elites clearly know the rules of private clubs. They don’t want others to intrude on their territory, so naturally they will not intrude on other people’s territory. A private club with a membership system is their own one-third of an acre of land. , it is impossible for them to covet other private clubs. That is a kind of pride.
Secondly, if there really is a thorn in the side 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 to enter it. No other female members of the royal family will be able to obtain admission, including Princess Diana and Princess Kate..
Renly and Matthew presented their invitation letters respectively, and after receiving confirmation, they entered the club gate..
Entering the lobby on the first floor from the outside, you can immediately see the Victorian style constructed with burgundy carpets, crystal chandeliers, and dark brown cabinets. Every small detail shows the long and profound historical heritage, and the low-key Luxury is everywhere.
“Lord Renly, Lord Matthew, please come here." Four staff members in black suits were divided into two rows and stood at the entrance of the lobby. One of them took the initiative to greet them and made an introduction..
Under the guidance of the staff, Renly and Matthew came to the nearby cloakroom again, 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 Signed with a pen, officially confirming their attendance..
This method is also to deal with emergencies. If there are uninvited guests, ordinary guests will be rejected at the club door; special guests cannot cause farce in public, so the staff will guide them into the club. Lobby, solve problems here——
Next to the cloakroom is a small lounge where many things can be solved.
There are too many secrets within the nobles. They cannot expose their weaknesses easily, and they need to maintain their perfect image in front of the public. This also means that they must be prepared to face different emergencies. situation, so as not to be in a hurry.
After the second confirmation and sign-in, this is the official admission..
Under the guidance of the staff, we walked along the corridor to the showroom in the northwest corner of the first floor. Then the staff standing at the indoor door handed the auction brochures to Renly and Matthew respectively, and gave a brief introduction to the auction..

Guests can read and browse relevant information in the manual in advance, and then mark the auction items they want to participate in bidding and the auction items they want to support—— Or the owners of the auction items, and the auction items that they want to include in the collection, etc..
At this time, the guests appeared in the showroom one after another, chatting in low voices, and waiters carrying champagne walked among them. Even Renly's appearance did not create too much confusion. At most, he just looks at it from the corner of his eyes. Occasionally when his eyes meet, he expresses a friendly greeting, and then continues to focus on the display cabinet in front of him.——
The auction items are displayed in the display cabinets. You can browse them one by one according to the auction manual, and confirm your ideas by viewing the actual objects..
“Did Andrei know you donated the snuff box? "Matthew noticed one of Renly's donations at a glance: Although it was anonymous, their friends all knew that the Tang Dynasty lady's snuff bottle came from Renly's collection. Andre wanted to have it, but because of This is Renly's favorite item, but he has never been able to get it..
Unexpectedly, Renly actually donated it today and became the main attraction of the charity auction. Matthew can now imagine Andre's expression..
The corners of Renly's mouth slightly raised, "Now he should know.”
