Sighing, Suzanne didn't dwell too much on the topic, her lips moved: "Tonight, Mayor Lawrence will hold a charity gala outside the city hall to raise money for the refugees.

There will be a lot of rich and famous people from the city of Diramo to attend, and our company has already received an invitation. ”

"Charity gala? Can I not go? Wren said with a look of disgust.

It's not that he hates charity, but he hates the atmosphere of the banquet, and the last time Mrs. Ellie invited him there, he was really a little tired.

No matter what you think in your heart, you have to smile, talk about non-nutritious topics, and always pay attention to whether your words and actions are appropriate.

That's it, the names of those nobles are stinky and long, you can't call them wrong, otherwise you will offend people and be ridiculed.

There are not too many rules, especially those nobles and celebrities, who always have an inexplicable sense of superiority and look down on nouveau riche like him.

Suzanne pursed her lips and smiled: "No, our company has several places, and we must send someone." ”

"Mandatory?" Wren asked, confused.

He felt that something was wrong, he shouldn't force them to donate money, to be honest, he didn't want to give a single copper coin.

Suzanne shook her head slightly, and said helplessly: "It's a strong request, let Jenny explain the specific situation." ”

Jenny was wearing a lady's uniform, holding a goblet, and said softly: "Boss, that's the case, this charity gala is in the form of an auction, and all the funds raised will be used to buy food and other daily necessities......

Specifically, the town hall will take out a batch of artworks of not very high value, and use the market valuation of the item as the reserve price for the attendees to auction.

In other words, the price of those works of art after auction will definitely be higher than the market estimate, which means that the city hall has an extra amount of money to help the refugees.

Wren frowned after hearing this: "In other words, we are going to be the wronged boss and be slaughtered?" ”

The antiques of the prosperous times, the gold of the troubled times, the tide period has arrived, it can be expected that all the works of art will depreciate, maybe they will not be sold at all, and the city hall can be described as playing a good hand.

Jenny raised her hand lightly, Nunu mouthed: "Not only that, there are unspoken rules for auctions, and they must be 1.5 times higher than the reserve price to be sold!" ”

Wren was dumbfounded, damn it, this is a comparison with the white wolf with empty gloves.

For example, if a famous painting is valued at 50 gold coins in the market, the auctioneer who attends the charity gala must pay at least 75 gold coins.

If the city hall was going to spend 10,000 gold coins to help the poorest and fast-eating refugees, it would immediately become more than 15,000 gold coins.

"Tsk, it's amazing, a batch of worthless rags are about to be exchanged for gold in seconds, no wonder they want to engage in charity." Wren sighed, this is called a routine.

Actually, there is nothing surprising that there are also some charity galas that directly ask for donations, not to mention, in some countries on the planet, charitable donations are tax deductible.

Otherwise, why would those rich people donate so actively, instead of paying taxes to the country, it is better to donate them, and they can also get the name of a philanthropist and social caring person who is enthusiastic about public welfare.

By the way, alleviate the envy, jealousy and hatred of the rich of ordinary people.

Whether Wren likes it or not, this matter is decided, and he has to go, he knows that many people are interested in this business in the Sunshine Community.

Including many celebrities, they all think that he is a lucky speculator, a nouveau riche who has taken shit luck.

If he doesn't go, these people will casually incite him, saying that he is cold-blooded, selfish, and has no sense of social responsibility, and maybe public opinion will target Thorn Security.

Thinking of this, Wren was a little depressed, this is the world of adults, it's all routines.

Looking at the fiery sunset on the horizon, he shouted to Garcia:

"Bunnies, don't make a fuss, listen to me, hurry up and tidy up your appearance.

Wash your white, get dressed, tie up, and go to a charity gala. ”

The people who were frolicking were stunned for a moment, and after asking, they learned the specific situation.

"Damn, isn't this a money grab? What kind of bullshit art, I can't appreciate it. Higg said with an unhappy expression.

Wen Xi grunted and said very frankly: "I don't want to donate." ”

With a cold snort, Wren pouted: "Don't even think about running, this time I'll take you turtles to meet the world and see what high society is."

Rest assured, our company has two indicators, I will take two pieces of broken copper and iron, and it will not cost you money. ”

"Yay, thank you boss!"

Hearing that they didn't have to dig out of their pockets, Garcia and Wenxi immediately smiled and prepared to change their clothes.

Go to the banquet for free to eat and drink, and they are still happy.

Seeing this, Wren admonished: "Remember, you have to wear formal clothes, don't jeans and short sleeves."

Especially you, Wenxi, don't wear slippers, and don't talk loudly when you go there,"

There are a lot of rules and regulations in high society banquets, don't be too presumptuous. Be unconventional and maverick, people will not think that you have a personality, but will only make people despise and ridicule.

Be personable, well-behaved, and have a sense of humor, which will be popular.

Like that kind of casual clothes, slippers, and unkempt to go, unless you are Long Aotian, you may not even be able to enter the door.

Wen Xi scratched his head and asked innocently, "Boss, what if someone accostes me?" ”

The corners of his mouth twitched, and Wren glanced at his respectful face, really not thinking that anyone would talk to Wenxi.

However, he was relieved: "Don't worry, you just need to smile."

Listen silently, and if you want to respond, praise the other person a few words, and say good things. ”

A week ago, Mrs. Ellie invited him to be his male companion, and he had attended a banquet where he had learned a lot.

Wen Xi touched his hair and nodded as if he didn't understand.

Seeing this, Higg also asked, "Boss, what should I do if I don't know what to say?" ”

He's also a big guy and doesn't understand any of this.

"I don't know what to say, just talk about the recent weather, although it is a boring topic, but it is better in the middle of the rules, it is not easy to make mistakes, and it is suitable for wasting saliva." Wren raised his eyebrows and teased.

He didn't understand this before, but Keisha taught him, and he practiced it with Lady Ellie again.

Seeing that everyone didn't understand, Wren said some precautions, there are a lot of celebrities tonight, and he doesn't want to be embarrassed.

He took Garcia to train them, and this kind of thing has to be experienced.

Jenny and Suzanne ignored the stinky men and held hands, ready to put on makeup together.

They don't need Wren to teach, Suzanne and Keisha have also learned this, and as for Jenny, she is the daughter of a small aristocratic family, so she naturally understands this.

At half past seven in the evening, everyone from the Thorn Security Company sorted out their meters and walked towards the square outside the city hall, which was also their first collective appearance on a formal occasion.
