Blackstone Code Chapter 263: Saint Harmony with the girl’s parents
In general events, if the organizer of the event has a relatively high status, he will often appear when the event is about to start. At the beginning, the important assistants who are responsible for welcoming the guests are all around him who can represent him.
Event organizers only show up at the beginning if the event organizers are of lower status, and they need to greet those of higher status as a courtesy.
But Mr. President can be said to be the highest in the Federation in any aspect of him. He has no reason to stand at the door early in the morning to receive these unimportant guests. No matter Verella, there is no ** to continue to investigate.
Their lives are too far from Mr. President, maybe Cerverella's father may be a little closer to Mr. President, but only a little closer.
Standing in the hall, the girl began to perform some duties. She knew these celebrities much more than Lynch knew. She would introduce the situation of these people to Lynch, and if necessary, she could open some for Lynch. topic.
This is a deal, and she should and must fulfill her responsibility.
After couples of invited guests arrived, the number of people in the hall gradually increased. Lynch noticed a detail. Some people were wearing the same accessories as others.
According to his understanding of upper-class social interaction, they are less likely to wear more generic accessories, which will make them look a little... vulgar.
Baylor Federation is not a society that advertises modesty and low-key. Everyone is in pursuit of being different and detached from things. Take Lynch as an example. Some of the cufflinks and tie clips on his body are all Cerverella rented from a jewelry store.
Yes, they are rented, but these accessories are not the kind of ordinary mass-produced accessories that are placed on the counter.
The jewelry they rent are all styles designed by the famous jewelry designers of the Baylor Federation. Each one is unique in the whole world and is invaluable. Some jewelry is not even sold to the outside world, only rented to the outside world. , and each rental fee is quite astonishing, far more than the sale of these jewels can make more money.
People are happy to rent, on the one hand, it can reduce their unnecessary expenses - people will not often wear a certain jewelry and accessories in public, which will lead to some unfriendly comments and even rumors. On the contrary, renting not only The cost is reduced, and you can also ensure that you wear a different jewelry accessory each time you go out.
Even if someone suggests that the jewelry has been worn by someone else, it only proves that the jewelry or accessory is very popular and will not affect the wearer himself.
This situation has also led to the fact that the accessories in the upper class rarely appear the same or repeated, but Lynch found that some people's accessories are almost the same, which makes him a little puzzled.
"Did you say those tie clips and chest badges?" Severella, a smart girl, immediately realized what Lynch was talking about, and asked back with a smile, "You really don't know. Those things?"
Lynch's face became more curious, "Why, should I know about them?"
The girl didn't continue to tease, it was actually difficult for her to regard the man with decent conversation and humor as a person who got up from the bottom, or was climbing up.
At least in the process of her getting along with Lynch, Lynch could not see the kind of unease and fear that would appear in the lower classes of society, none of these.
When she was in school, when others found out who she was, some boys from middle-class families with excellent academic performance would feel uneasy when they were alone with her, and would not even dare to look her in the eyes, let alone look at her. Can communicate with her calmly.
There is a huge gap that cannot be bridged between family background and social class, which cannot be changed by "confidence".
When a person, he and his family can't keep up with the other person's efforts in a lifetime. It's just an occasional impulse that turns into actual action, such as consumption. There must be this kind of class difference between the two parties. The gap will also make the party with a lower status produce various negative emotions.
But this situation has never been reflected in Lynch, which always makes people ignore his actual identity and treat him as a kind of person.
The girl began to introduce Lynch, "These are the symbols of the Holy Harmony Society, do you know the Holy Harmony Society?" Lynch nodded, he knew this, and the girl continued to introduce, "If you pay attention A glance at Mr. President's tie clip and chest emblem will make it clear that he is also a member of the Holy Harmony and has a high status..."
The Holy Harmony Society, or other secret societies have similar trinkets used to represent identity. These trinkets have their own unique anti-counterfeiting technology, and no one will imitate them, because any secret society will hold regular events. , Everyone knows who is their own and who is not their own.
They made this trinket with some kind of idea like showing off, or something else.
The symbol of the Holy Peace Association is the tie clip, chest emblem and collar buckle.
Ordinary members of the Holy Peace will receive a tie clip, which is a triangle-like shape of three ears of wheat with a sun in it.
If the status is higher, you can get a chest badge, which is also a triangle-like shape composed of three ears of wheat, with a moon in the middle.
In the traditional mythology of the Baylor Federation, the sun represents perseverance, courage, and strength, and the moon represents wisdom and calm.
The vice president wears a collar button, and it is also a triangle-like shape composed of three ears of wheat, but there is an eye in it.
The eye has many symbols in the mythology and religious system of the Baylor Federation, but here it represents the omnipotence and omnipotence, also known as the eye of true seeing, which can see through everything.
The clasp means that His Excellency the Vice President is a senior member of the Holy Peace, and only senior members can wear such a clasp.
It is said that there is a higher-level system, but these are just rumors after all. Even the people of the Holy Harmony Society themselves do not know that there is such a fourth-level system, and it is already the top level at the level of the vice president.
"They wear the same accessories to show each other's same identity background. The Holy Harmony Society has a lot of influence in the federation. If you notice, you can find His Excellency the Vice President talking to those Holy Harmony Society members. longer."
This is the value of a girl. She knows more about the upper class than Lynch. If it were Lynch himself, he might have to go back and ask Ferrara or the mayor to know about these things, but now there are With the girl by his side, he knew everything immediately.
After the girl finished speaking, she asked curiously, "Didn't you go to the University of the Holy Harmony Union?" In her opinion, going to the Holy Harmony Union University seems to be something that should and must be done. , she didn't even think about going to an ordinary university.
Lynch glanced at her. "I didn't go to college, but I plan to."
"Sorry, I don't know...", the girl really doesn't know. In a day or two, most of the information the housekeeper has collected is the information that people know. If you want to know more secret information, you must use it relation.
This is not something a housekeeper can call the shots, even if there is a family eldest behind him, this will surely alarm Mr. Wardrick, so the search and investigation of Lynch's information is basically after he became famous.
"After graduation" does not necessarily refer to college, but may also refer to high school.
Lynch shook his head, "You don't need to apologize, it's not your fault that I didn't go to college, and I don't think it's my fault."
It's not the girl's fault, and it's not Lynch's fault, then obviously it's the society's fault, and it just so happens that the previous president was in office when he didn't go to college, which in turn reflects being ousted to some extent What a disappointment for the president.
How can such a president keep him on stage if he can't even afford college?
The girl could vaguely hear the meaning behind this sentence, but she was a little uncertain, so she could only nod slightly. She became more and more curious about Lynch. This big boy does not seem to come from ordinary families. Man, his style, his attitude, nothing at all!
Around 6:30, some heavyweight guests began to appear.
Baylor Federation defines dinner as between 7:30 and 8:00. People tend to work in factories until 7:00, plus transportation, when they get home and can eat , it's after half past seven.
Of course, don't think that this is just an ordinary person's view of time. In fact, everyone is the same. It's like the exploiters have to watch the exploited be drained of their last strength before letting them go. The exploited Get off work at seven o'clock, and the exploiters get off work at seven o'clock too!
Stagger this little common sense. When some important people begin to appear, people start to gather slightly towards the entrance. This is also a privilege that latecomers can enjoy - more respect and respect from people.
First, some famous capitalists~IndoMTL.com~ These people have great influence in society. They control the living problems of tens of thousands of workers and affect the livelihood of tens of thousands of families. Also frequently in newspapers, people are familiar with them.
Then some of the top progressives, MPs or some star politicians.
Seeing the appearance of more and more big-name guests, the atmosphere at the scene has become much warmer. Everyone is trying to get closer to these big-name people. Even if they can't say a few words, it is very good to be familiar with each other. Good thing.
Just as the event was about to begin, Lynch suddenly felt the girl's arm holding his arm a little harder. He looked towards the door and saw a gentleman who also belonged to the top of the Holy Peace Association was cordially approaching the president. conversation.
Lynch glanced at the girl, then looked at the gentleman and the lady beside him, and asked in a low voice, "Are you relatives?"
He thinks that the girl and these two people have something special in their imagination, especially the lady, they are too similar.
Severella nodded, "My father, and my mother!"
