Charity auctions are held every year, every month, and even every week. All kinds of charity auctions are filled with the daily life of the upper class.
Because the charity auction also shoulders many different functions, the first is the good reputation brought by charity, the second is the tax reduction function brought by charitable donations, and the third is an important social occasion for the elite:
Imagine that top big-time figures like members of the royal family or senior artists are always at a distance of a thousand miles. On the horse's legs; but the charity auction is different. If the charity items they donated can finally be auctioned for a high price and used for charity, they will naturally feel more intimacy, which can open up the situation.
There are countless similar situations, because people who can enter the elite class and high society have actually seen countless big world existences. They have everything in money, fame, glory and power. Ordinary things can't impress them at all. Charity auctions are the only occasions where others can "open/offer/bribe", how can they be easily missed
Therefore, every charity auction is very particular, from the magnitude of the guest lineup to the value of the auction items, to the weight of the special guests, all of which are a war that cannot be seen in social situations. Don't underestimate the organizers of those charitable events.
This Saturday's upcoming charity auction is very special, an auction organised by Alexander Hamilton in partnership with the Red Cross.
As the eldest son of the Duke of Hamilton, Alexander's fame and reputation among the London aristocracy can be said to be second to none. This time he personally organized the auction to raise funds for the Red Cross, all of which will be used for war-torn areas in Africa. The aid plan includes vaccines, medicines, water resources, etc., especially for underage children who are suffering from malaria, and 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 believed that this was a special arrangement for Alexander to pave the way for Andre.
In the past year, Andre's related actions have become more frequent, and Sisyphus Pictures is the best proof. The youngest son of the Hamilton family seems to have finally regained his strength and ended his life of drunkenness. Decided to use his own ability to create a career, as the eldest brother, how could Alexander not support it? What's more, Andre was the youngest son who grew up favored by his father and brother.
It is precisely because of this that people are looking forward to being able to attend this charity auction. After all, the prestige and energy possessed by the Hamilton family is definitely not a small family, so the lineup of guests attending the auction should not be underestimated. Not to mention the Hamilton family itself.
Now, this auction has further revealed that the identity of the mysterious guest is actually Renly Hall! Looking at the recent signs, does this mean... Renly is really going back to London in full? And this charity auction is the stage for Renly
If so, then this charity auction is absolutely not to be missed.
That's what Renly hopes to achieve.
Instead of shouting out in your own voice, or making a high-profile debut, you will use trivial information to spread the mystery bit by bit. A "secret only a few people know" effect, the momentum will build up bit by bit between word of mouth, just like the dense drum beats before the show is about to be unveiled, creating the first moment of the show. A climax/climax, bringing all the spotlights and spotlights together, waiting for the moment of a full-blown explosion.
Today is the moment for the spotlight to shine.
Matthew woke Renly early in the morning, definitely not because he was deliberately breaking Renly's little habit of sleeping in, but because there was indeed a lot of work to be done today.
After the alarm function finished, Matthew was about to turn around and leave the room, but he walked to the door, stopped again, turned around and looked back, and sure enough he saw Renly sitting on the bed, shoulders slumped, eyes still tight. The floor was closed, and after getting up halfway up, he fell asleep again.
Matthew shook his head gently, "I thought you would recognize the bed." This is a new home and a new bed. In a new environment, Renly always needs a little time to get used to it; but obviously, this time is an exception. Renly didn't have any problems at all, and the quality of sleep was so good that Matthew felt a little helpless.
"Huh?" Renly's voice came in a low voice.
Matthew shook his head gently, but still asked patiently, "Renly, do you need my help?" Otherwise, he felt that Renly might not be able to get up.
"Huh?" Renly raised his head slightly, but Chaos' brain couldn't think at all, so he couldn't hear Matthew's words clearly. After a pause, Renly continued, "I'm hungry. I want to drink porridge. "After he said a few words without thinking, he lifted the quilt and touched the bathroom with his eyes closed, but it seemed a little difficult, so that his footsteps wandered beside the bed in confusion.
Seeing Renly's childish behavior, Matthew had given up complaining, walked over directly, held Renly's right hand, led Renly into the bathroom, and then helped Renly squeeze the toothpaste onto the toothbrush and stuffed it into the Li's hand, and then turned to leave.
After washing, the chaotic brain finally woke up a little. Although he still felt that he hadn't slept enough, his strong self-control still controlled himself. He came to the first floor wearing pajamas, and could smell it from a distance. The smell of white porridge made the corners of Renly's mouth rise involuntarily.
Yao remembered that when he was a child, Renly had a high fever and couldn't eat anything. He just missed a mouthful of white porridge; but there is no such thing as white porridge in traditional British cuisine. After Philip told George and Elizabeth, they didn't care at all. Directly ignored Renly's need to make things difficult, and just left it to the doctor to deal with. In the end, Philip asked about the practice of white porridge, and cooked a pot for Renly himself.
The amazing thing is that I vomited whatever I ate before, but I swallowed the white porridge; then, after covering my sweat all night, the high fever subsided the next day.
"The Guard is Here"
Later, in middle school, Matthew once watched Philip tell the cook to cook white porridge for Renly. He also heard the allusions. When he was tired or sick or had no appetite, Renly always liked white porridge. Once I learned about Renly's quirky hobby.
But over time, it became apparent.
Now, Philip has officially become Renly's housekeeper. He lives in the guest room on the northwest corner of the first floor, facing the garden, and has his own side of the world; at the same time, Philip also hired a cook for Renly, who is responsible for one day. Three meals a day, in just a week, the whole rhythm of life has become routine, even more orderly than life in New York.
Ren Li took a seat at the dining table, gestured to the white 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 rejection - he really had no interest in white porridge.
"Master Renly, do you need to wear a formal suit today?" Philip appeared at the door of the restaurant and asked politely.
The so-called formal suit is actually a complicated hand-made three-piece suit. The front of the shirt, sleeves, collar, cuffs, etc. are all distinguished. It needs to be assembled one part by one, and it is impossible to complete it by only one person. If you wear it, you must get help from others.
Then Renly needed Philip's help.
It has been a long time since Renly wore such a formal suit, because Hollywood does not need such a specification at all, but it will appear too grand and cause unnecessary discussion, even for the Oscars; and outside of high-end parties, Lanly All of Li's time was focused on performances. Occasionally, leisure activities were also outdoor challenges. Suits were obviously not the best choice. He almost forgot the tediousness and troublesomeness of formal suits.
The reason why Philip asked this question could not have been clearer: today is the occasion of Renly's official return to London, and George and Elizabeth may also appear, does he need to be treated with the highest standard
"No, no." Ren Li answered without hesitation.
Matthew added, "He decided to go back to London on his own way, not the 'other side' way." With that, Matthew cast a glance at Renly, which made Renly laugh happily and nodded. agree.
Philip did not continue to persuade, simply agreed with Renly's decision, and then turned and left the restaurant.
Matthew picked up the knife and fork and began to enjoy his own breakfast, "What is your way, what is it? If you follow the consistent style of Hollywood, it is a hat T, jeans and sneakers, breaking the shackles of rules and regulations and keeping up with the changes of the times. trend."
"I don't mind." Renly shrugged lightly. "If the Garrick Club lets me in, I'll have no problem. They might need a suit of armor to be a superhero, but I don't, remember. I'm an actor, and that's the most powerful mask."
Matthew couldn't help but chuckled: there seems to be no problem with this interpretation, and it is very innovative, "I will let Andre suggest to see it, challenge the rotten rules of the two centuries, break the taboo, and also What could be more hot and powerful than a debut like this?"
Renly pursed the corners of his mouth, "I'm not Mrs Thatcher, and my contribution and influence are not that strong. Otherwise, the royal honors would not have been like that." Such self-mockery made Matthew's smile even brighter. stand up.
