772 Private Party
Recommended song: kat.deluna※akon—
"Since you come, you will be at ease." Li Junyi breathed a sigh of relief, and while adjusting his breathing, he also adjusted his mentality. The heart, which was originally nervously trying to hold together, suddenly stretched out. Although his heart was like a piece of paper that was meaty and meaty, wrinkled. But Li Junyi had figured it out: he had no way to choose his origin, but he succeeded in his own way, so there was no need to be inferior to others. People in the upper class are human after all, right? No matter what happened today, he was still Li Junyi and would not change anything because of the nature of the party. Therefore, Li Junyi's pace on the soft green turf was much more stable.
Today, Lee Junyi wore Burberry's latest style this winter. The light navy blue base is lined with smoky gray Scottish plaid, the double rows of three buttons are paired with the upper and lower pockets of the right collar, and a light gray hand towel is randomly stuffed with the blade-style hidden pocket. Although it is a traditional suit, the close-fitting tailoring still reveals a sense of fashion. Lee Junyi today matched a wide tie with dark gray camel plaid, which is a bit stable. The pair of round-toe lace-up black leather shoes under her feet make the outfit formal. This was designed by Christopher Bailey for Lee Junyi, and it is the only one in the world. It was also hand-sewn. If it is usually on the red carpet, it is definitely the best, but on this occasion, it is a bit inferior.
However, Li Junyi did not have the consciousness of being ashamed of himself at all. He raised his head and chest, his steps were stable, his mouth was calm, and the confidence in his eyes came from the inside. The natural freedom and calmness made Li Junyi show his aristocratic temperament beyond his age. At this time, he seemed to have no reaction at all. This was a gathering of top and upper class: the so-called family banquet was a private party, and only special people could enter. Without invitation letters, his face was the only certificate. Li Junyi just walked slowly and gracefully beside Christopher Nolanfu, and slowly walked into the villa hall.
Maybe Christopher Nolan greeted the party host in advance, so the two guards at the door did not stop Li Junyi. His face allowed him to enter the main venue of this private party smoothly.
When I walked into this banquet venue, I seemed a bit different from Lee Junyi's imagination. There was no too much ornate decoration or exaggerated decoration. The simple white buffet table and the azure blue embellishment made people feel relaxed. The host seemed to have a special liking for white and blue. The house had a blue roof and white walls. The main color of the banquet decoration was also white and blue, simple and generous. There was no luxury and exaggeration of "Oscar Night" and the delicacy of the last Vancouver concert. It was more generous and kind. It seemed that Christopher Nolan was right. This was a family dinner: a private party, everything was familiar with friends, so it was not deliberately rendered, mainly focusing on comfort.
"Before eating, let's meet the master first." Christopher Nolan's voice called back Lee Junyi's gaze when he looked into the hall, and then followed Nolanfu to move forward.
During this short journey, Li Junyi saw a lot of people. After rough calculations, there were only about fifty or sixty people coming to the party today. The number of people was indeed less for the New Year's Eve party, which further highlighted the personal nature of the banquet. What surprised Li Junyi even more was that everyone passing by nodded and smiled at Li Junyi with a friendly look on his face. Yes, he was very sure. Although it was possible that he was greeting Christopher Nolanfu, and Li Junyi was just by the way, the friendship in this look was still very clear.
Either these people are too good at hiding, or they are sincerely welcomed Lee Junyi's arrival. Just now, Lee Junyi has more favorable feelings for this party. Compared to the snobbish eyes of everyone when they first participated in the "Oscar Night", the people here almost changed Lee Junyi's prejudice against party parties. Lee Junyi thought about it for a while and came to a conclusion, not to mention whether they are too good at hiding, but in terms of quality, they are indeed a real upper class society, and there is a big difference from ordinary so-called celebrities and rich second generations.
Li Junyi's thoughts turned around and heard a low voice chuckling in front of him, which was very magnetic, "Chris, Emma, you are late, you should be punished for wine." Li Junyi looked up and saw a man about thirty years old, with clean and neat short hair, but because of his natural curly hair, the short hair also had a chic flavor. His high nose bridge was deep like the eyes of the ocean, and the corners of his mouth were elegantly outlined. Li Junyi searched for the information of this man in his mind and found that he knew nothing.
"Smith, this is Yi Yi, this is Smith Frank." Christopher Nolan was the one who introduced the middleman. His introduction was as short as ever. Lee Junyi was looking forward to more background introductions, but nothing was available.
Smith Frank stretched out his right hand and said, "Welcome to today's dinner. Those who come today are familiar friends, please don't be restrained. If you feel bored, it is my dereliction of duty." Without polite greetings, nor deliberately alienated Lee Junyi, who was first met. On the contrary, he ended with a gentleman's humor, which made people feel very comfortable.
Lee Junyi held the right hand of the gentleman in front of him and curled his lips slightly, "I just heard Chris call you Smith, and I was still wondering why he called you by your surname. I seemed a little distant, but I didn't expect it to be your name. What's more surprising is that your surname is Frank, which gave me a very interesting start tonight." Generally speaking, Smith appears more as a surname in the United States, while Frank appears more by his name. However, this Smith Frank turned it over, so Lee Junyi's joke, "This also made me hesitate. If I call you Frank, it seems that we have known each other for a while. This seems not a good way to get closer, but it's a bit clever."
Smith Frank laughed twice with a hearty smile, and his magnetic voice was like a glass of red wine, emitting a mellow fragrance. "If you want, you can call me Smith." It is obviously not the first time that Li Junyi's question has appeared among friends, but Li Junyi used such a relaxed and interesting way to greet the two of them for the first time. It also made people feel very relaxed. "My father must applaud you when he heard your words. It was obviously for the sake of creating this effect that he gave me this name." Although these words were somewhat polite, Smith Frank's blue eyes were full of sincerity.
"Hey, you two, are you sure you will continue to waste your time on the name link?" Emma Thomas' laughter floated from the side. "My stomach has begun to protest. For the delicious food tonight, I haven't eaten anything for the day, so I'm looking forward to coming here to have a feast. Unexpectedly, you two are talking about it here."
"No, no, no..." Lee Junyi and Smith Frank's unanimous denial made the atmosphere of the four people relax, and a smile appeared on Christopher Nolan's face.
"Name is a very important link. Ms. Thomas, do you need me to explain the annotation of the title in the long-standing Chinese culture?" Li Junyi did not look at Smith Frank, and then said.
Smith Frank then followed, "Emma, how to call a new friend is a very serious matter. I am taking it seriously. Your disturbance makes me rude. So, you will also punish you for your drink later, and be with Chris." Smith Frank said a few words and made Emma Thomas owe him another glass of wine.
Christopher Nolan hurriedly protected his wife beside him, "I see you are endless, go, go to the hall." After that, he pulled his wife to retreat, took a step, turned around and said, "Smith, if you have something to do, go first. Yi, go."
Seeing Christopher Nolan as she was protecting her calf, the two gentlemen did not expose it, but the second sentence was brought to Lee Junyi. Lee Junyi had to give a response, "Chris, don't worry, I'm not a poor Emma, I can still find my way by myself." The subtext was that Christopher Nolan had too much protection for his wife. After that, he nodded to Smith Frank, then took a step forward, and walked back to the hall in front of Nolanfu, which made both Christopher Nolan and his wife laugh and cry.
After confirming the name of the host of the banquet, Lee Junyi searched for this character in his mind for the second time, but after thinking about it carefully, he still found nothing. He didn't know how rich the name Smith Frank or the surname Frank was. Lee Junyi had almost zero understanding of this upper class. Although Bill Gates whom he knew was rich, Bill Gates was still a little worse than this family with background. Therefore, it was normal not to know Smith Frank.
However, Christopher Nolan made a special trip to bring himself to this dinner, and he wouldn't have just introduced Smith Frank to him, and he didn't know what the gift he was talking about was.
Back at the banquet hall, Li Junyi turned around and looked. He didn't know a single face. I wonder if Paris Hilton could be considered a member of the upper class. After all, the Hilton family also has a heritage. But at least, in this banquet hall, Li Junyi did not see this figure who had met several times.
However, Li Junyi, who was alone, did not encounter the embarrassment of being ignored last year's "Oscar Night". After just two steps to the buffet table, someone smiled and said hello to introduce himself. Sure enough, Li Junyi's intuition just now was right. These people were very friendly, had good qualities and elegant conversation. Even if Li Junyi was a "child who had never seen the world", they didn't seem to care, and instead would quietly rescue Li Junyi.
Although this private party lacks a bit of crazy rock flavor, it makes people feel comfortable. Lee Junyi also temporarily put down the purpose of bringing Christopher Nolan here and chatted with friends he just met with a smile.
