Chapter 467: Socializing
"Hey! It's three o'clock, it's time for tea, friend brother." Miss Luo Quan, who was live streaming in the hotel, suddenly shouted in Cantonese after seeing the pointer on the clock.
This is a new meme on Bilibili. For someone like Miss Luo Quan who brushes Bilibili with high intensity, it is certainly quite familiar.
The fans who were watching the live stream were stunned for a moment and then laughed:
"Do you want to drink tea too?"
"Miss Luo Quan can speak Cantonese?"
"This taste is so authentic, I thought I met a fellow villager when I closed my eyes."
"Miss Luo Quan is professional in terms of language."
The bullet comments were chatting about Miss Luo Quan's accent, while she took out a box from her suitcase. On it was a string of English. Most of the content fans couldn't understand, but seeing a "tea", they probably knew what was in it.
This is the slimming flower tea that Miss Luo Quan brought back from the UK. It is said that many upper-class people in London drink this. After Miss Luo Quan saw a few new boxes in the room, she tried to drink a bag.
At first, it was just curiosity, and she didn't expect any effect.
As a result, after drinking it, she found that the taste was surprisingly good, and it could completely replace the drinks she usually used to quench her thirst.
Since this is a slimming product without too many side effects, she took it all away, intending to drink it while doing exercise.
One bag a day, she had been drinking it for ten consecutive days. As for the effect, Miss Luo Quan would weigh herself every time after taking a bath. It seemed to be a pound less than when she came to London, but she was not sure if it was because of drinking this.
Most slimming teas usually achieve significant weight loss through the effect of moisturizing the intestines and laxatives, but she hadn't had diarrhea these days, indicating that the tea she drank this time didn't take the above route.
Of course, this doesn't prove that the tea is ineffective. After all, slimming is not a matter of one day or two. It takes a period of persistence to be reflected.
On the other hand, the taste of this tea is really quite good. Compared to those colored drinks, drinking this should be healthier.
After drinking a cup of hot tea, Miss Luo Quan continued to look at the questions in the bullet comments and answered them selectively.
After showing her two clothing designs on the T-stage yesterday, the audience under the stage all stood up and cheered. These are all veteran people who have been in the fashion circle for many years.
Even they felt stunning, let alone ordinary people. Miss Luo Quan also deliberately chose design works that the public could appreciate this time, and the two groups would not have aesthetic differences.
After the clothing photos came out, passersby were naturally surprised and sighed, and fans, after being suffocated for so many days, also started to ride on their faces.
Miss Luo Quan had been mocked by people in the fashion circle for the past few days, but now that the clothes were out, many people automatically deleted their posts and pretended to be dead. The name of "genius" once again resounded throughout the world.
However, the bragging that should be done was already done when Miss Luo Quan opened the live stream last night, and she also enjoyed a night of praise and flattery from fans.
And opening the live stream again today, naturally, there are new topics to discuss.
Seeing a question asking about her next itinerary, Miss Luo Quan put down the teacup and said:
"Tomorrow night I am going to the Shangri-La Hotel to attend a charity cocktail party. Those who have conditions can watch the live stream on YouTube."
This charity party was told to her by her grandfather a few days ago. The full name is the Noble Charity Ball, which is said to be one of the top ten top gatherings in the world.
Miss Luo Quan had heard of one with the same name before, called the Paris Debutante Ball. As the name suggests, invite debutantes to attend the ball and dance a waltz with princes and young knights from other countries, while the ball is to help poor girls in Asia through donations.
This one is also similar, but it invites young celebrities from the world.
The main body of the invitation is first these nobles in Europe. After all, there are the most feudal remnants in the world here, followed by the rich second generations in the United States, and then young but popular stars and internet celebrities.
Because the scale is relatively large, the conditions for participation are not as harsh as the Paris Debutante Ball, but after all, there are so many big shots participating, so the heat is still quite high.
Nominally, although this is a charity ball, it is actually a noble social salon, but because there is a donation part, the theme has been sublimated.
However, the target of help this time is not Asia, but to help children displaced by war in the ZD region.
When hearing this, Miss Luo Quan almost laughed out loud.
Who made it look like this because of whom, don't these noble rich people have any numbers in their hearts?
Destroyed people's homes, and now held a charity party to help them, it is really a bit of a cat crying for a mouse and pretending to be compassionate.
Originally, Miss Luo Quan didn't want to go, but since grandfather called, plus her younger brother was also going this time, she didn't refuse.
Of course, she wouldn't go to the ball and directly give a live speech in front of the reporters, criticizing and exposing the hypocritical side of these people.
Doing so would definitely be very cool, but for her father's relatives, it might hurt their hearts.
So this time, she estimated that she would just sit for a while, drink some fruit juice, and then donate and leave.
The fans in the bullet comments obviously didn't know much about this so-called noble charity ball. By comparison, they would rather Miss Luo Quan live stream in the room, sing a few songs, and dance a few dances for them to watch.
In the past, hearing about nobles might be excited for a few times, but now after watching Miss Luo Quan's live stream for so long, there is no special curiosity or longing for nobles.
After all, the vast majority of nobles in this world should not be as good as Miss Luo Quan in terms of living, using, family background, and fame, let alone appearance and temperament, Miss Luo Quan directly kills everything.
So when Miss Luo Quan said this itinerary, the fans looked a bit unenthusiastic, and Miss Luo Quan herself was actually the same.
The next night, she picked a dark-toned skirt at random, took a car to the entrance of the Shangri-La Hotel, and walked in together after waiting for Gao Liang.
Generally attending the party, in order to attract attention, she would dress relatively brightly, but tonight the color of her clothes was almost integrated with the night outside the hotel. If it weren't for her appearance being truly amazing, she wouldn't attract much attention at all.
But obviously, the boys attending the ball today, many of them came for her, and didn't care at all what she was wearing. As long as they saw her face, they would come up to say hello.
Facing these polite and handsome princes and knights, Miss Luo Quan uniformly reported with a professional fake smile, the corners of her mouth raised by thirty degrees, and the arc was quite standard.
Fans who often watch Miss Luo Quan's live stream know that when Miss Luo Quan really smiles happily, the apple muscles on her cheeks will gently bulge. At this time, she is like a princess in a fairy tale, with a bright and beautiful smile.
But if she is in a general mood and only wants to fake smile, the only place on her whole face that will move is her lips.
On the one hand, this is her personal habit, and on the other hand, it also shows that her control over facial muscles is really in place. No wonder she has such good acting skills at a young age.
Gao Liang is naturally familiar with his sister's habits. After entering the hall and sitting down, he whispered: "Why are you unhappy today?"
Miss Luo Quan smiled and took a glass of fruit juice from the passing waiter, saying: "Attending this ball with a group of people who are not familiar at all, can you be happy?"
"Then our moods are really different. I finally got a leave from my busy schedule. Now I don't have to think about any work, and my body and mind are quite relaxed." Gao Liang said while taking a few glances at a female internet celebrity with a quite good figure in the distance.
Like his sister, Gao Liang had long lost any feeling for the so-called "godly appearance". No matter how beautiful a girl is, she is plain in his eyes.
However, figure is different. After all, fat and thin have their own merits, and after cooperating with Carleen Mansu on the Titanic, he has increased a lot of interest in girls with full figures.
Of course, it only exists at the level of pleasing to the eye for now.
Miss Luo Quan knew that her younger brother had more work, and coming to Paris this time was equivalent to taking a vacation. After all, not everyone is as leisurely as her.
After sitting in the hall for a while, the ball began.
Although it is a ball, the theme is more focused on charity and socializing, so it just played waltz music at the beginning, but the organizer did not call on everyone to dance in the dance floor together.
After all, not everyone who came this time is a noble, so those who don't dance still sit in their seats drinking wine, or walk to others to start chatting and pulling relationships.
After playing a few classic dance songs, the music switched to Miss Luo Quan's "Second Waltz". Even if it was placed together with the previous classic waltzes, her song did not show any disharmony.
And at this time, a gentleman in a tailcoat walked over. He looked in his early twenties, tall and handsome, with an incomparably gentle voice:
"Beautiful lady, can I have the honor to invite you to dance with me?"
Miss Luo Quan smiled and shook her head: "Sorry, I can't dance."
She really can't dance waltz, but if she wants to, it's just a matter of thought.
In fact, let alone waltz, if it is really necessary, she can even do two hands of authentic Maori war dance.
However, dancing, especially partner dancing, is not a person's business. That is to pick a partner. Miss Luo Quan anyway doesn't want to go to the dance floor with a stranger.
"That's a pity." The gentleman showed a regretful expression. A smart person had long guessed that Miss Luo Quan saying she couldn't was just an excuse. In this kind of occasion, there is no "can or can't", only "want or don't want".
Obviously, he is not the dance partner Miss Luo Quan expected.
In fact, among these people present, there is no dance partner she expected, or she doesn't expect it at all.
A ball, twelve boys came to her one after another to invite her to dance, without exception, all suffered rejection.
Making Gao Liang shake his head and sigh on the side.
Miss Luo Quan also wanted to sigh, and even had a "mmp" that she didn't know whether to say or not.
The drama of invitation-rejection continued until the end of the ball. When Miss Luo Quan's professional fake smile was almost unable to hold on, the torture finally stopped.
If it continued, she estimated that she would directly find a sign, write "I can't dance, please find other girls to dance" on it, and then stand it next to her.
After the ball ended, it proceeded to the charity stage tonight.
Charity is divided into two parts. The first half is charity auction. The organizers of the ball will take out some artworks and handicrafts for the nobles and celebrities attending the party to auction, and all the auction proceeds will be donated to a certain charity organization.
And the second part is the donation link. At that time, a big box will be placed on the stage. Those who want to donate will take this check and go up to put it in the box.
After donating, you can also express your feelings. This moment is a personal exposure link, and it is also the purpose of most internet celebrities and stars coming here. And among these donations, a part is also the entrance fee for these people.
As a ball held for nobles and rich second generations, internet celebrities and stars want to come in, naturally they have to pay more money. It is very realistic, but also very reasonable.
The charity auction part started quickly. The things taken out to sell were all paintings, handicrafts, sculptures, etc., and most of them were works of modern people.
She doesn't know how high the artistic level of these things is, but there is no one that the system likes, indicating that there is no particularly high value.
But the price after the auction is often above five million US dollars, and many are over ten million US dollars!
Isn't this "money laundering"? Miss Luo Quan looked at her younger brother. Although he held a bidding number plate in his hand, he never bid from beginning to end.
"Younger brother, is this auction formal? How does it look like the price is a bit high?" Miss Luo Quan asked worriedly.
If this auction is exposed later to have participated in money laundering, it might be a bit troublesome.
"It's okay, didn't you see that the bidders are all those rich second generations and internet stars? The noble children didn't move at all." Gao Liang is also a star himself. If there is a problem with the auction, he would have left long ago.
"Actually, it's just slaughtering big households. These artworks are not treasures at all for families with long inheritance. Who doesn't have a few pieces at home? People who know the goods will not auction these things here."
Gao Liang's explanation made Miss Luo Quan feel relieved: "Then slaughter, slaughter hard!"
After the misunderstanding was cleared, Miss Luo Quan began to prepare for the next donation link.
She asked the waiter for paper and pen and started writing on it.
Gao Liang thought his sister was preparing to write a speech, so she could go up and give a speech that moved the world, but after looking at it carefully for a few times, he found that it was a song lyric.
"Are you going to donate this later?" Gao Liang laughed, "It's quite unique. Others donate money, you lightly write a lyric."
"What do you mean by lightly!" Miss Luo Quan certainly wouldn't admit that she was an iron rooster that didn't pull out a hair. "Do you know how valuable my song is? This song is donated, at least tens of millions of US dollars!"
"And don't you think it's too vulgar to follow the trend and donate money?"
"That's true." Gao Liang laughed, and also pondered whether to imitate it.
However, thinking that his rap lyrics content was not very good, and taking it out might not have the same effect as his sister, he gave up.
Soon, all the auction items of the charity auction were sold out, and
PS. Thanks to book friend Zi Ming for the book coins, thank you very much!
