2089 Troublesome Constitution

Beatrice's admiration for Lan Li is no secret in London's high society, it's not that the Earl of Oxford's private party has leaked the news, it's that Beatrice can't hide his heart-

Go to London's West End to see "Les Miserables", go to Elizabeth Hall Gallery to buy paintings, invite Lan Li to a private book club, and go to see every one of Lan Li's films...... Things like this are just condiments, and the fact that he has mentioned Lan Li many times in front of his parents and even the queen, and he has not concealed his admiration for Lan Li in the daily chatter of the royal family gathering, which is the real surprising focus.

Toby Beatrice's blessing, the name of "Blue Rite-Hall", can also be said to be a little famous in the royal family, which has caused a lot of discussion.

As for whether it is a good thing or a bad thing, it is unknown, and from the current point of view, those guardians of traditional culture in the royal family do not like it.

Although Lan Li starred in the works of London's West End, although Lan Li is also a hereditary aristocratic background, although Lan Li made countless history by winning EGOT, although Lan Li has proven himself to be excellent...... But in the final analysis, Lan Li is still too young, and there is still a big gap between Maggie Smith and Judi Dench, who are national treasure actors who have gone down in history, and the future is uncertain. Who knows if Lan Li will be riddled with negative news? Who knows if Lan Li will be willing to fall? Hollywood is a well-known big dye vat, and the royal family naturally needs to be cautious.

The most direct manifestation is that the royal family has indeed made a decoration, but in terms of the honor and rank of the Blue Ceremony, the level of the medal awarded is much more conservative, which also sends a signal from the official standpoint: although countless history and glory have been created, it still needs to continue to work hard.

The indirect performance is that Prince William introduced a date to Beatrice, and just this summer, Beatrice fell in love with the gentleman at first sight, and the gentleman also developed a crush, and the two dated many times, and in the midst of your comings and goings, they confirmed the relationship in a low-key manner.

That gentleman is Dave Clark.

Dave Clark is an American, but he followed his father to England at the age of five. His father, Michael Clark, was a senior legal counsel who served as chief counsel to British chocolate giant Cadbury Schweppes, and over the years he became a millionaire and then rose to the elite β€” just like the Kardashians in the United States.

Growing up in England, Dave did not attend a traditional elite school, but attended a high school called the American School of London, and after graduation, he returned to Massachusetts to attend a private university - not an Ivy League school, and then transferred to the University of St. Andrews, only to study in a hurry, but only for a year, and after leaving school, through his father's connections, he went to Virgin Galactic to officially take up a business promotion position.

Virgin Galactic, a company created by British billionaire Richard-Branson to explore space, owns the world's first commercial spacecraft and set up the "Space Tour Program" in 2008 in the hope that one day space tourism will become a reality.

Objectively speaking, Dave did not come out of a traditional elite education, his college grades were mediocre, he was not able to follow in his father's footsteps to become a lawyer, he was not able to build a company based on his business acumen, and he lacked enough talent for the arts.

The only exception is that Dave once followed his father's instructions to attend the University of St. Andrews, where he met Prince William - and similarly, Prince William met Princess Kate here, which also made Dave and William cross paths and appear on the royal family's attention list.

Earlier this year, Dave officially left Virgin Galactic and returned to the United States, where he found a new job in Silicon Valley as the CEO of Uber, a fast-rising ride-hailing app, and is looking forward to helping Uber gain a foothold in London and use it as a starting point to open up the European market.

Now, Dave has gone one step further and is Beatrice's date.

"I don't like him. This was Andrei's conclusion, which made Lan Li laugh, "You better be careful, he's an opportunist, a typical American." ”

"Ha, because of the princess?" Lan Li laughed heartily.

"No, because it's profitable. Andrei shook his head, "It has nothing to do with the princess, we are just outsiders in the relationship between them, we can't judge easily, I want to believe that they really love each other, but aside from the emotional problems, he knows how to make the most of his advantages and establish an image for himself." ”

"You mean the auction?" Lan Li raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised.

Andrei was noncommittal.

Lan Li waved his hand, "If that's the case, I don't mind, what does it matter if I can raise more money for the auction?" Just like the original Ice Bucket Challenge, "I'm looking forward to seeing how much money he's willing to spend on this fame." ”

After reading it like this, it suddenly became interesting: I thought that Lan Li would deliberately inflate the auction price and make that Dave bleed profusely.

Eaton elbowed Andre and said with a smile, "It's all said, don't provoke Lan Li easily." Now, I think the auction is fun. ”

Andre immediately began to rub his hands, "How about it, do you want us to go together?" If he bids in the name of Lan Li, the scene will be good, and he will definitely not be willing to lose to Lan Li, haha! He shouldn't know that there is a real rich man sitting here. ”

The last good show has just ended, and this good show has kicked off again, and it is really exciting!

While speaking, all the guests have been seated one after another, and the auction is about to officially begin.

There was a faint low greeting on the right hand, and when he turned his head, he could see Alexander Hamilton appearing, wearing a dark blue suit to modify his slender and straight body, his handsome facial features were now serious and upright because of the lack of a smile, and he could faintly find Andre's shadow in the eyes, but he was more mature and more stable.

Alexander took the initiative to walk over to Lan Li, and said a brief hello to Lan Li standing next to his position, "...... Don't spend money on it today, let those characters enjoy the gaze, or they'll be robbed of your last moment of brilliance, and then you're going to complain to me. The gentle words revealed a hint of a brother's appearance, which made Lan Li chuckle as well.

"Arthur is still helping out at the reception, and the auction is not coming. Alexander whispered.

Lan Li was not surprised, "It should be lazy there, right? Anyway, there is no room for him to play here, so it is better to be lazy in the lounge first." ”

Alexander did not deny it, then turned his head to AndrΓ© and solemnly taught, "Pay attention to your words and deeds. ”

Andre was dumbfounded, "Why is it good to say good things to Lan Li, but when you come to me, your face is full of seriousness, and you don't have this." ”

In fact, in the entire Hamilton family, Andre is the most favored, and Alexander is also very protective of this younger brother, so that Andre can grow up wantonly.

But now the situation is slightly different. If Andre is ready to continue to enjoy life without a heart, and they are happy to spread their wings and continue to protect his brother from the elements, but Andre founded Sisyphus Pictures and is ready to break out of the world, then they will have to give some guidance. Luckily, Andre was at least willing to listen to Lan Li's advice, which also made Alexander feel much more at ease, so he entrusted his brother to Lan Li.

The only thing Andre was afraid of at home was this big brother, and now that Alexander and Lan Li were together, he felt like he was on a thief ship.

Alexander ignored Andrei's complaints, and said to Lan Li, "We'll talk about it later." Then he nodded to Matthew and Eton, and walked to his place.

When the auction organizers also arrived, today's event officially kicked off.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to today's charity auction at the Carrick Club, I'm Howard-Norman. ”

The auctioneer is a middle-aged man in his fifties, with short gray hair and high spirits, and his unsmiling face reveals a sophisticated and calm, "The information about today's auction competition has been recorded in the manual, you can read it yourself, thank you very much for donating personal belongings, contribute to charity, all the amount from today's auction will be donated to the Red Cross, and will be invested in follow-up related funding and sponsorship activities." Supervision is welcome. So, let's get into the auction now. ”

A clean opening, without too many politeness and greetings, and then officially entered today's auction.

"The first is an art by Irish artist Genieve-Figgis, 'Yes, Captain', created in 2014 and estimated at Β£200. With a fifty pound increase at a time, the story of the artist is already on the auction brochure, but I can tell you that the once unknown female painter has gradually gained a following by tweeting her work. ”

"She can't be regarded as a big name now, maybe it will take time to precipitate and brew, but she is an artist born in our Internet age, every ordinary person can use their own perspective to create art, and then find an appreciator who fits their soul in the vast sea of people, which is also the luck of our times. Don Quixote, living in the present day, may no longer continue to be alone. ”
