Blackstone Code

In general events, if the status of the organizer of the event is relatively high, he will often appear when the event is about to start. At the beginning, the person who is responsible for welcoming the guests is an important assistant around him who can represent him.

Only when the status of the event host is relatively low, the host will appear at the beginning. They need to greet those with a higher status to show due etiquette.

But Mr. President can be said to be the highest in the Federation no matter what he is. It is unreasonable for him to stand at the door early in the morning to receive these unimportant guests. Either way, I have no desire to go any further.

Their lives are too far away from Mr. President, maybe Severilla's father may be closer to Mr. President, but only a little closer.

Standing in the hall, the girl began to perform some duties. She knew these celebrities much more than Lynch. She would introduce them to Lynch and open up some topics for Lynch when necessary.

This is a deal, and she should and must fulfill her responsibility.

After one pair after another of the invited guests arrived, the number of people in the hall gradually increased. Lynch noticed a detail. Some people wore the same accessories as others.

According to his understanding of the social life of the upper class, they are less likely to wear more common accessories, which will make them look a bit...vulgar.

Baylor Federation is not a society that flaunts modesty and low-key. Everyone is pursuing being different and transcending things. Take Lynch as an example. La rented it from a jewelry store.

Yes, they are rented, but these accessories are not the kind of ordinary mass-produced accessories that are placed on the counter, and after selling one, the teller takes out another one of the same style and puts it on it.

The ornaments they rented were all designed by the famous jewelry designers of Baylor Federation. The one-time rental fee is quite astonishing, which is far more profitable than selling these jewels.

People are willing to rent, on the one hand, it can reduce their unnecessary expenses - people will not often wear a certain jewelry accessory in public, which will lead to some unfriendly comments or even rumors, on the contrary, renting not only reduces the cost , you can also ensure that you will wear different jewelry accessories every time you play.

Even if someone suggests that these jewelry have been worn by others, it can only prove that this jewelry or accessory is very popular and will not affect the wearer himself.

This situation has also led to the fact that the accessories in the upper class are rarely the same or repeated, but Lynch found that some people's accessories are almost exactly the same, which makes him a little puzzled.

"Did you say those tie clips and badges?" Severilla was a smart girl, she immediately realized what Lynch was talking about, and then asked with a smile, "You really don't know those things? ?”

Lynch also had some curiosity on his face, "Why, should I know about them?"

The girl didn't continue to tease, it was actually difficult for her to regard the humorous and decent man beside her as someone who had risen from the bottom, or was climbing up.

At least in the process of getting along with Lynch, she didn't see in Lynch the uneasiness and fear that would appear in people at the bottom of society.

You must know that when she was in school, when others knew her identity, some boys from middle-class families with good morals and academics would feel uneasy when they were alone with her, and they dared not even look into her eyes, let alone be calm. Communicate with her.

There is a huge gap between family background and social class that cannot be bridged, which cannot be changed by "confidence".

When a person, he and his family can't keep up with another person's lifetime efforts, it's just an occasional impulse that turns into practical actions, such as consumption, there must be such a gap between the two parties caused by class differences, and there must be a gap between them. It will cause all kinds of negative emotions to the party with low status.

But this kind of situation has never been reflected in Lynch, which always makes people ignore his actual identity and treat him as a similar person.

The girl began to introduce to Lynch, "These are the symbols of the Holy Harmony Society, do you know the Holy Harmony Society?" Lynch nodded, he knew this, and the girl continued to introduce, "If you pay attention to Mr. President If you look at his tie pin and badge, you will know that he is also a member of the Holy Harmony, and he has a high status..."

The Holy Harmony Society, or any other secret society has similar trinkets used to represent identity. These trinkets have their own unique anti-counterfeiting technology, and no one will imitate them, because any secret society will hold regular activities. Who is Everyone knows who they are and who they are not.

The purpose of making this kind of trinkets is also to have some kind of idea like showing off, or some other ideas.

The symbols of the Holy Peace Society are tie pins, breast badges and collar buttons.

Ordinary Holy Union members were given a tie pin, which was a triangular-like shape of three ears of wheat with a sun in it.

If the status is higher, you can get a chest emblem, which is also a triangular shape composed of three ears of wheat, with a moon in the middle.

In the traditional myths and stories of the Baylor Federation, the sun represents perseverance, courage, and strength, while the moon represents wisdom and calmness.

The vice president wears a collar button, which is also a triangular shape composed of three ears of wheat, but there is an eye inside.

The eye has many symbols in the mythology and religious system of the Baylor Federation, but here it represents omniscience and omnipotence, also known as the eye of true seeing, which can see through everything.

The collar button means that His Excellency the Vice President is a senior member of the Holy Harmony Society, and only senior members can wear such a collar button.

It is said that there is a higher level of the system, but these are just rumors after all. Even the members of the Shenghehui do not know that there is such a fourth level. The level of the vice president is already the top level.

"They wear the same ornaments to show that they have the same identity and background. The Holy Harmony Society has a great influence in the Federation. If you notice, you can find that His Excellency the Vice President talks to those members of the Holy Harmony Society more often. Longer."

This is the value of a girl. She knows more about the upper class than Lynch. If it were Lynch himself, he might have to go back and ask Ferrara or the mayor to know these things, but now there are girls By his side, he immediately knew everything.

After the girl finished speaking, she asked curiously, "Didn't you go to the university of the Holy Union Union?" In her opinion, going to the university of the Holy Union Union seemed to be something that should and must be done, and she even I never thought that I would go to a normal university.

Lynch glanced at her, "I haven't been to college, but I have this plan."

"Sorry, I don't know..." The girl really didn't know. In a day or two, most of the information collected by the housekeeper was the information that people knew. If you want to know more secret information, you have to use your relationship.

This is not something a butler can decide, even if there is a family lady behind him, it will definitely alarm Mr. Wardrick, so the search and investigation of Lynch's information are basically after he became famous.

"After graduation" doesn't necessarily mean college, it could mean high school.

Lynch shook his head, "You don't need to apologize, it's not your fault that I didn't go to college, and I don't think it's my fault either."

It is not the girl's fault, nor is it Lynch's fault, so it is obviously the fault of the society. It happened that he did not go to college when the previous president was in office. What a disappointment.

A child can't even afford to go to college. How can such a president keep him on stage?

The girl could vaguely hear the meaning behind this sentence, but she was a little uncertain, so she could only nod slightly. She became more and more curious about Lynch. This big boy didn't seem like someone from an ordinary family. His style, his attitude, nothing like it!

Around half past six, some heavyweight guests began to appear.

The Baylor Federation's definition of dinner is between 7:30 and 8:00. People tend to work in the factory until 7:00, plus traffic. When they return home and have meals, it is already It was after half past seven.

Of course, don’t think that this is just an ordinary person’s view of time. In fact, everyone is the same. It’s like the exploiters want to watch the exploited being squeezed out of their last bit of strength before letting them go. The exploited are at seven o’clock. After get off work, the exploiters also leave work at seven o'clock!

Staggering this little common sense, when some important figures began to appear, people began to gather a little towards the entrance, which is also a privilege that only latecomers can enjoy-more people's respect and respect.

First, there are some well-known capitalists. These people have great influence in society. They control the living problems of tens of thousands of workers and affect the livelihood of tens of thousands of families, and they often appear in newspapers. People are familiar with them.

Then there are some top leaders of the Progressive Party, members of Congress or some star politicians.

Seeing those more and more famous guests appear, the atmosphere of the scene has become much more enthusiastic. Everyone is trying to find a way to get closer to these big people. Even if they can't say a few words, it is a great thing to get acquainted with each other. .

Just when the activity was about to start, Lynch suddenly felt the girl's arm holding his arm a little bit harder. He looked towards the door, and a gentleman who also belonged to the senior level of the Holy Peace Society was having a cordial conversation with the president.

Lynch glanced at the girl, then at the gentleman and the lady beside him, and asked in a low voice, "Are you relatives?"

He felt that the girl had a special imagination with these two people, especially the lady, they were too similar.

Severilla nodded, "My father, and my mother!"
