For the Friday party, Lin Zitan specifically asked Louis about the dress etiquette that he needed to pay attention to, and Luis said that as long as he wore a suit and a watch, it would be fine!

Lin Zitan has been getting better and better in recent years, and he has not been relentless in buying customized suits, so he has never put too much thought into dressing up to attend any business drinks or parties.

But this time was different, and this time it might be an opportunity for him to really enter mainstream Upper East Side society, so he wanted to be as good as he could be.

Looking at the empty jewelry storage cabinet in his cloakroom, he realized for the first time that he was different from the rich. Lin Zitan used to only care about making money, and he had never bought any luxury goods, and the handbag in his hand was also an ordinary gadget worth one or two thousand dollars, and the belt never exceeded 500 US dollars.

Louis said to let him wear a good watch, the watch in his hand was still the Longines sports watch that Li Manruiman gave him on his birthday the year before,

At that time, I liked its light blue dial, so I always wore it on my hand, but if you want to talk about the price, it is about 2,000 US dollars, how can this watch be considered a good watch?

Fortunately, the place where Lin Zi lives now is only ten minutes away from the famous Fifth Avenue, so he decided to buy himself some X-loading clothes first.

I think that although we don't have the cultural heritage and accumulation of the upper class, at least don't look too shabby in dress.

It was Wednesday, and there were still two days left before Friday's dinner, so Lin Zitan had an afternoon to go shopping on Fifth Avenue accompanied by Kyle.

New York, one of only two financial centers in the world and the largest city in the United States, is proudly known as the "center of the world". Fifth Avenue is located on the central axis of Manhattan Island and is the essence of Manhattan Island shopping.

This world-famous shopping street is bustling with people, and the advertising effect alone is enough to entice these brands to set up shop here, so it includes all the top brand stores in the world.

Lin Zi slipped into the most upscale mall on the street, Bergdorf Goodman, because there is a department dedicated to men's clothing, and the entire building of the mall is made of gray stone, which looks very heavy, very historical, and exudes a bank- and museum-like atmosphere.

It is said that there are hundreds of high-end brands here, mink coats worth nearly $20,000 a piece, and thousands of dollars of clothes are everywhere. Lin Zitan originally felt that his so-called custom suit of three to five thousand was already very good, but the most expensive set of suits here could reach tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

-----------------

"Is there anything I can do to help you?" they walked into an Ermenegildo Zegna store, and the salesman hurriedly walked up to Lin Zitan as he wandered in front of a dark blue suit.

"Uh, is there a size for me, I'd like to try it. ”

Lin Zitan stretched out his hand and picked up the name brand of this suit and looked at it, but he couldn't find where the price was, thinking that it shouldn't be more than 10,000 yuan, and he had bought a suit from this house before, and it was only more than 3,000 US dollars.

"It's our new for the season, the top is $21,800 and the pants are $8,500, what size would you like to try on?"

The saleswoman was a red-haired foreigner, although her tone was very tactful, Lin Zitan could still see a little disdain in her eyes,

Because these people can tell from what you are wearing now that you probably can't afford this dress, that's why they put the price first.

If they meet a real rich person, they will be eager to recommend all the new products on the shelf that are suitable for you, but they will not mention the price at all.

"Please help me get a set of L sizes. Lin Zitan looked up into the woman's eyes and said seriously.

"Uhhhh Okay," the saleswoman didn't seem to react at all, such an expensive price, Lin Zitan still had to try, but the Chinese were all local tyrants, and they probably knew it very well, so they only hesitated for a moment, and immediately took a set of L size and handed it to Lin Zitan.

When he came out of the fitting room, the expression of the saleswoman told Lin Zitan that he had a good eye, and this suit was worn on him, and it was really similar to the custom-made one, thanks to the results of his long-term insistence on exercising, and his muscular arms just stretched the sleeves to the full.

"Kyle, what do you think?" Lin Zitan walked to the door and called Kyle in.

"Very good boss!" Kyle complimented heartily.

In order to avoid introducing side eyes, Lin Zitan would ask Kyle to wait outside the door every time he went to a store, so Kyle didn't know about the cold reception Lin Zitan received just now.

"Well, I don't think it's good, my shoulders are a little tight here. Saying that, Lin Zitan went back to the locker room and changed his clothes, and asked Kyle if the brand DesmondMerrion was also nearby before leaving.

The saleswoman watched Lin Zitan leave gracefully after trying on the clothes, and the thought that she could slaughter a Chinese tyrant today that had just risen in her heart immediately fell back again, and gave a few rolls of eyes to Lin Zitan's back disdainfully.

Lin Zitan really went to another handmade suit custom store called DesmondMerrion, and spent more than 48,000 US dollars on a gray haute couture suit, and spent more than 66,000 yuan to buy an Omega SEAMASTER300.

On the way back, Lin Zitan turned back to the Ermenegildo Zegna store he had just gone to, and directly swiped his credit card to buy the dark blue suit he had just tried on.

looked at the other waiter with a sunny face to help Lin Zitan swipe the card, and saw the SEAMASTER300 that Lin Zitan had just put on his wrist.

-----------------

Friday arrived quickly, because the address of the banquet was on the roof of his building, so Lin Zitan worked normally, and it was not until 5 o'clock that he took out a quick-frozen pizza from the refrigerator, heated it in the microwave, and only began to take care of himself after eating a few bites.

The reason why I ate a few bites of pizza first was because Lin Zitan had attended so many parties with Louis before, and in addition to the alcohol tube full, the food was all those that looked very exquisite.

But in fact, it's all snacks made with sugar and chocolate, and it's okay to eat the first bite, but it's tired to death after the second bite. Therefore, he would rather get a few bites of food first, than to eat those things that don't pay for the fat.

Lin Zitan looked at the two suits he had just bought, and finally decided to wear the Ermenegildo Zegna, because this set was prepared for this banquet when he tried it on, and as for the other set, he wanted to wear it for a more important occasion.

In line with the principle of not arriving early and not being late, Lin Zitan set off from his home at 5:50 a.m., carrying a bottle of 85-year-old Lafite.

This is also what I bought from Mike before, because Steve has always said that this wine sells well, and he has kept a few bottles of it himself, which is now just right to decorate the façade.

Lin Zi went out to take the elevator, stepped on a little and arrived at the door of 13A at 5:55, settled down, and was just about to raise his hand to ring the doorbell, when the door was opened from the inside.

"Welcome. A man in a black suit smiled and took the wine from Lin Zitan's hand, very politely.

Of course, Lin Zitan knew that this would not be Eric himself, and thought that maybe it was a doorman or a housekeeper or something, so he only smiled and nodded to him.

"Please follow me~" When the man turned around, he politely guided Lin Zi to turn around the front hall and walk all the way inside.

Lin Zitan followed the man and walked in, and saw an abstract painting with very bright colors hanging on the wall of the corridor, which was a bit like a sunset about to set, and also like a volcano about to erupt.

"Mr. Eric is waiting for you in the small ballroom inside. After passing through the spacious, bright and beautifully decorated luxurious living room, and coming to a pitch-black door, the man suddenly stopped and made a gesture of invitation to Lin Zitan.
