Chapter 22: Just talking

Hall didn't know much about Claudia, but had seen her in a short introduction in a Playboy-like magazine:

One of the world's top five supermodels, Snowflake Niang, Chanel's "exclusive strategic partner" for haute couture wedding dresses.

"I knew that this young model standing in front of me who had just stepped into the right track of his career would appear in every Chanel fashion show in the finale of every Chanel fashion show in a haute couture wedding dress in two years."

Hall thought to himself and couldn't help but laugh.

On the sidelines, the agent Brandett and Margaret tried to communicate with each other, trying to find possible job opportunities.

Claudia listened quietly with a smile on her face, feeling the gaze of the noble children around her, and turned her head: "You know me?" ”

"No, you did a great job on the runway today, I'm impressed." Hall explained.

Claudia's spoken language was a little poor, and she said slowly, "Thank you...... It was my first time on the catwalk and I was very nervous. ”

"There is always a process for a graphic model to get to the runway, and it will be much better next time." Hall switched to German, also not very fluent, barely better than the other party.

Claudia raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Do you speak German?" ”

"I know a little bit of spoken English, German and English are relatives, and I am lazy to take credits." Hall's British humor is almost felt.

Claudia nodded enviously: "You speak German so well, you must be very smart." ”

Hall said, "That's smart, I'll do more," and joked, "I'd love to admit it, but my colloquial accent doesn't allow it." ”

"I think it's great to be able to express the meaning accurately in everyday language, but if you say it, my German accent is also terrible." Claudia encouraged.

Hall shrugged his shoulders: "I think so too, but you must not have discussed this topic with the French." ”

Claudia couldn't help but smile and raised her glass in agreement.

Every Frenchman has an inexplicable "national pride", and he can't give up his sense of identity with his motherland when he speaks a strong foreign language accent, and a foreigner who speaks French with an accent is a hillbilly purebred turtle.

As the old saying goes, the friendship between Britain and France depends on Germany, and the friendship between Britain and Germany depends on France.

Claudia's eyes fluttered, and she landed on the watch that was revealed on the other party's wrist when she just clinked glasses, and took the initiative to find the topic: "Your watch is beautiful, Patek Philippe, it's the first time I've seen this style." ”

"Thank you, this is my birthday present when I was 12 years old, I love it so much that I have changed the strap several times." Hall generously took off his watch and handed it out, signaling that the former could hold it in his hand.

He was carrying a Patek Philippe Classic Classic, with a white gold case and enamel plate designed to resemble the 150th Anniversary model, which would not be released in two years, unlike all the models currently on the market.

The inside of the official is turned open, and in addition to the inscription Patek Philippe, a string of Arabic numerals, and a line of English letters and badges are engraved.

“…… Hugo ...... Hall. Claudia pronounced out the English characters on it, "No number, this is custom-made?" ”

Hall cleared his throat and said in a straight voice: "On it is my birthday, and the family crest." ”

This is more than from the past through the depression to the present, finally installed, did not waste the painstaking initiative to take off the watch......

“…… Oh my God, this is too precious, I'm sorry, you take it back, I'll ......" Claudia's expression froze suddenly, her mouth slightly open, and she was helpless to hold her watch, panicked like she was holding a red-hot iron.

Hall froze, letting her slip the watch back into her hands.

"I'm sorry, I'm just a little curious, I don't know ......"

"No, it's me who should apologize, I didn't expect to cause you such trouble." Hale came back to his senses and interrupted.

Claudia didn't know why, and was a little dazed for a while: "What? ”

Patek Philippe has a "family customized" service, which is only open to "loyal customers" of grandfathers with Patek Philippe, grandsons with Patek Philippe, and grandfathers with a Patek Philippe in their home. ”

Hall pursed his lips and put his hand in his pocket: "Ordinary customization is just adding personal elements to the existing model, and family customization can completely design a model with an exclusive logo."

I...... I have a friend who has a little money, but can't afford a Patek Philippe custom, let alone a family custom.

When he first found out that I had a Patek Philippe family custom, he was very surprised and envious. It's a funny reaction, but I don't usually see it because the people around me are used to it, and they think I should wear this kind of watch.

So I deliberately took the watch off to show you, hoping to get that kind of feedback.

I'm really sorry, I'm sorry for the show off I just had. ”

“……。”

Claudia was silent, and after a long time, a smile appeared on her face: "Is this a new way to make girls, first tease, and then pretend to be honest." Next, on the topic of shame, would you like to explain to me the noble character of your family? ”

Hall lowered his head: "...... Yes, as a noble child who inherits the inheritance of his ancestors, it is really very tasteless to show off in this way. I should show you my ingenuity, for example, I know not only German, but also French, Spanish, Chinese and a little Latin.

Of course, this is just to satisfy my vanity, and I don't want to soak you. ”

“…… You're so honest. Claudia was speechless.

Hall hummed and handed back his watch, "You can use my honesty as a way to maintain vanity. So, do you have to take a closer look at this watch, I have to make a customized watch for my 16th birthday gift, and this piece will not show off no chance. ”

"I reserve the right to forgive you, just to appreciate people with high IQs." Claudia replied with her chin tilted.

Hall grinned and said, "Whatever you want, I don't care if you forgive me or not, I'll just forgive myself." ”

"Heh, I just said that the French are arrogant, and you are not bad."

"Friend, you'd better keep your voice quiet when you say this, I'm from a nobleman. Although I have offended you, but you say so loudly, I will teach you or not. ”

Claudia's beautiful blue pupils shrank suddenly, and then the two of them chatted happily for a while, at least Hall was pleasant.

It wasn't until Helena came to call him home that he gave up and left.

Seeing Hall walk away, agent Brandt smiled and asked in a low voice, "Does he want your contact information?" ”

"Nope." Claudia replied truthfully.

Brandett praised with satisfaction, "Very well, Schiffer, your future is bright, you have to protect yourself and don't let your parents down." Such a noble child is not something we can provoke. ”

"I know." Claudia secretly complained that her agent was verbose, she worked part-time as a disco girl, and she didn't need to be reminded of many things every day, and her heart was clear.

"I'm sorry, I'm still in trouble, I'm missing." Margaret looked back at the Hall family who had walked away and said goodbye politely.

"Do you want her contact information?" Cheryl looked back at the banquet hall.

Hall replied casually, "No." ”

"Having a bad chat?" This is what Helena asked.

"Pleasant."

Cheryl asked again, "Then why don't you have contact information?" ”

Hall smiled and didn't say anything, as if he had made a special trip to listen to Warren Buffett's shareholder meeting, or offered to talk at a museum.

Is there any reason?

I just want to talk, and it has nothing to do with Fengyue.

"Let's organize a fox hunt." Hall looked up at the lights and said.
