Chapter 2102

Obviously, Matthew doesn't like the Beckhams.

But lenley was not surprised. Strictly speaking, Matthew doesn't like most human beings. As a lawyer, he has seen too much ugliness and evil, too much means of using order and law to seek self-interest, and too much depravity and dirtiness of human nature. In addition, he was a pessimist when he chose philosophy in high school, It's hard for him to look at the tragedies in real life with a positive attitude.

Langley can't blame Matthew. In fact, that's why Matthew became a lawyer. Langley likes Matthew like this. He hopes Matthew can continue to stick to his heart.

At this time, I felt the calm waves in Matthew's eyes, but the smile of blue's mouth was blooming. Naturally and calmly, I looked at the Beckhams, "blue, please call me blue, after all, I live in Hollywood, I can't ask them to abide by the British rules, right, Mr. and Mrs. Beckhams?"

The Beckhams have lived in Los Angeles for a long time, and their career is closely related to the United States. When lenley calls them by honorific title, that kind of humor permeates out - in the United States, few people call them that way, because it's too formal, especially in Los Angeles, which advocates freedom and randomness.

"Maybe they should set a name for the egot winners, just like the Knights after the Royal awards." Victoria show showed a smile and said brightly, "at least, you have won the respect of professionals, then, you should also win the corresponding reward."

From the content of the speech, we can notice that Victoria is still in a tense state, her smile can't reach the bottom of her eyes, and the content of the speech is still flattering. More importantly, the words reveal her obsession with the title of "Jazz". David can't be promoted to the rank of the Royal medal, which should be a worry of the Beckhams, It has even reached the level of obsession. Even if you don't want to, you can't avoid it.

Lanli could detect Matthew's sight, which obviously could not escape Matthew's sense of smell.

He said, "I don't think they have such an awareness. Even a doctor can't be called a doctor. It's as if they don't have any meaning. Therefore, the United States is the United States. After all, it's another piece of land."

"Ha ha." David and Victoria both laughed.

For the time being, apart from the Royal awards, the appellation is a very important thing in the European social and cultural system, and "Miss", "Lady" and "Madame" are absolutely infallible. The honorific titles of doctor and professor also exist objectively, giving the high intellectuals corresponding status; But in the United States, the relevant situation also exists, but it has not been really recognized, and social culture has not paid attention to it.

The simplest and most intuitive example is that when buying air tickets or train tickets in Europe, there is "doctor" in the column of address options. Occasionally, you can even get extra discount; Wimbledon Tennis Open is the only one that still retains different honorifics such as "Sir", "madam" and "Madame" with surnames, while other events are directly addressed by surnames, omitting the "cumbersome" prefix.

Lenley's little banter immediately won the sympathy of the Beckhams.

"Today's auction is really wonderful. I tried to buy guitars and music scores, but unfortunately, I didn't become the ultimate owner." Thanks to lanli's teasing, David's mood relaxed a little, and he spoke more freely. He took the initiative to speak.

In her early years, when David and Victoria fell in love, Victoria began to transform David one after another, from hairstyle to styling, including a small detail, that is, David's voice.

If there is an obvious defect in David Beckham's voice, that is, his voice is a little flat, a little sandy, and sometimes a little sharp, which is not in line with the image of a mature and charming man. It's just the duck voice in the changing voice period of youth, which makes Victoria very dissatisfied, but other parts can be modified, but the voice has no way; As a result, Victoria came up with a solution, which was to make David smile instead of talking as much as possible. Even in the media interview, he would reply in a concise and clear way as much as possible.

All in all, Victoria made a new plan for David, and the final result also proved Victoria's wisdom and wisdom.

Such a "ban" was not lifted until David really became famous all over the world, but David still kept the habit of rarely appearing on talk shows or talk shows to avoid revealing his own secrets; It's only when you're nervous or excited that you're inadvertently exposed.

Obviously, the upper class party is also a "ban" occasion. In front of the real nobles and elites, David doesn't want to reveal the details, and often talks more carefully; But lanli's smile let David relax his vigilance, and the long sentence came out like this.

Because lanli noticed that Victoria's right hand on David's waist made a small movement. Although it was hidden, it was still captured. Then he recalled this small detail, and his smile became lighter. "It's understandable that I tried to buy Victoria's high heels, but unfortunately, I didn't succeed in the end. I'm starting to wonder if I'll regret it when I turn around and leave. "

"Wow Victoria's expression brightened up obviously. "I've heard that Mr. Langley has his own unique views on fashion. It's definitely my honor to be recognized. Unfortunately, I don't design men's clothes, otherwise we should have a common topic. "

Simple words can taste many details:

First of all, in the English context, "Sir" is put in the front. From the use of address, Victoria can see that she is still not relaxed.

Secondly, in the follow-up discourse, the core of the whole discourse is "self", and Victoria's starting point and foothold are her own, which is her comfort field.

Most of the time, behavior is the best mirror, it can reflect too many things, and it is not intended to control. Therefore, the headline element of aristocratic social intercourse is: observation, careful observation, as long as you calm down and observe carefully, you can get something.

"But you designed David, and that's the perfect piece." Lanli's response is always just right, with a little humor, a little banter and a little wisdom. Since Victoria wants to start a conversation with herself as the core, lanli is also willing to shift the focus away from herself and achieve win-win results.

Sure enough, David and Victoria both laughed.

The Beckhams pause for a moment, and finally Victoria is in charge of speaking, "just now, you have auctioned two paintings. Besides music and performance, are you interested in painting?"

"Hobbies." Instead of talking too much about himself, he immediately threw the topic back. "It seems that you are also interested in painting in your spare time? I mean, beyond fashion? "

"The primary stage." Victoria's eyebrows brightened.

"You didn't go to see that exhibition last time, and you still remember it when you came home." David took the initiative to "break the news", and then said to Lan Li, "you should have a deep talk with her. She always feels that she has no common topic with me, but I don't feel it. It's not my fault, is it?"

Victoria noticed lanli's sight and took the initiative to explain, "we went to an art exhibition together. He didn't keep his attention all the way, as if he had drifted out of the universe. Then I was very lonely. I stood there alone to enjoy it. When I got home, the inspiration from the exhibition came out. I tried to discuss it with him, But he doesn't know what's going on there, and I don't know what to do

"The point is that you like it." Lan Li said with a smile. He could see that Matthew's eyes were shining again. The subtext seemed to say:

"See, I told you. They are the center of the conversation from the beginning to the end, so the conversation has no meaning at all. "

But Langley didn't mind. In fact, he could understand.

If the conversation is centered on Langley, the Beckhams are very worried that they can't keep up with the rhythm and accidentally expose their own details, which is embarrassing; On the other hand, they are self-centered and can take the initiative to bring up those topics that "seem to fit the level of lanli and lanli will be interested in" so that they will not make mistakes.

It's also a conversation skill, and it's a very smart one - if they can use it properly.

It's a pity that what they discussed really stays at the primary stage. Even if they try their best, they still can't make up for the gap. Of course, today is a charity auction, not a private banquet for aristocrats, so the conversation is relatively easy and simple, and it doesn't matter.

Langley has always been patient, but he also knows what Matthew means - this conversation may not see the end, someone must terminate ahead of time.

"In the future, we can go to art galleries together to see if our artistic taste can match." After Victoria finished another conversation, Langley said with a smile, and then went on without waiting for an answer. "As for now, I need to say I'm sorry. There's a guest there. I have to come forward to say hello. Please forgive me for my impoliteness."

Proper advance and retreat, modest and courteous, Lan Li's performance makes people unable to find fault.

Then, David and Victoria looked along the line of Langley's eyes, and then they understood. They didn't pursue or doubt it. They nodded their heads to show their understanding.

"Of course, of course." David said so.

Victoria was a little sharper. "That's the

Although there is no end to it, the words imply the mysterious number 43. If the person who comes is him, then everything can be explained.

Blue Li did not answer, just smile jaw first sign, "please forgive me for leaving." Then, he nodded to Matthew, and the two of them walked together, leaving the Beckhams behind.
