Saint and Harmony Society and the Girl's Parents
In general events, if the organizer's status is relatively high, he will often appear just before the event begins. Those who are responsible for welcoming the guests at the beginning are his important assistants who can represent him.
The organizer will only show up at the beginning if the event organizer has a lower status. They need to greet those with a higher status to show the proper etiquette.
But no matter what he is, Mr. President can be said to be the best at Federal. There is no reason for him to stand at the door early in the morning to receive these unimportant guests. This is very puzzling, but neither Lin Qi nor Sai Weiruila has the desire to continue to delve deeper.
Their lives are too far away from the President. Maybe Sai Weiruila's father may be closer to the President, but only a little closer.
Standing in the hall, the girl began to perform some duties. She knew many more of these celebrities than Lin Qi did. She would introduce these people to Lin Qi and open some topics for Lin Qi when necessary.
This is a deal, and she should and must fulfill her share of the responsibilities.
After one pair after another of invited guests arrived, the number of people in the hall gradually increased. Lin Qi noticed a detail. The jewelry worn by some people was obviously the same as that worn by others.
According to his understanding of Upper Class society, they are not very good at wearing more general jewelry, which makes them look a bit... vulgar.
Bayer Federation is not a society that advertises modesty and low-key. Everyone is pursuing distinction and transcendence. Take Lin Qi for example. Some of his cufflinks and tie clips were rented by Sai Weiruila from Jewelry Store.
Yes, they are rented, but these jewelry are not the kind of ordinary mass-produced jewelry that is placed on the counter. After selling one, the teller takes out another one of the same style and puts it on it.
The jewelry they rented were all designed by the famous jewelry designer Bayer Federation. Each one is unique in the entire world and is priceless. Some jewelry is not even sold to the outside world, but only rented. Moreover, the rental fee for each time is quite astonishing, and it is far more profitable than selling these jewelry.
People are happy 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, but also ensures that they will wear different jewelry accessories every time they appear.
Even if someone points out 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 also led to the phenomenon that the accessories in Upper Class were rarely the same or repeated, but Lin Qi found that some people's accessories were almost exactly the same, which puzzled him.
"Are you talking about those tie clips and chest badges?" Sai Weiruila is a smart girl. She immediately realized what Lin Qi was talking about, and then asked with a smile, "You really don't know those things?"
Lin Qi also had a little more curiosity on his face, "What, should I know about them?"
The girl did not continue the teasing. It was actually difficult for her to regard the humorous and well-spoken man next to her as someone who had climbed up from the bottom, or was climbing up.
At least in the process of getting along with Lin Qi, Lin Qi could not see the kind of uneasiness and fear that would appear in people at the bottom of society. None of these.
You must know that when she was in school, when others knew her identity, some boys from the Middle Class family who were both good in character and academics would feel uneasy when they were alone with her. They would not even dare to look into her eyes, let alone communicate with her calmly.
There is a huge gap that cannot be bridged between family background and social class. This cannot be changed by "self-confidence".
When a person and his family's lifelong efforts cannot keep up with another person's impulse that is occasionally transformed into actual actions, such as consumption, there will inevitably be a gap between the two parties caused by class differences, which will also cause the lower-status party to have various negative emotions.
But this situation has never been reflected in Lin Qi, which always makes people ignore his actual identity and treat him as a similar person.
The girl began to introduce Lin Qi, "These are the signs of Saint and Harmony Society. Do you know Saint and Harmony Society?" Lin Qi nodded. He knew this. The girl continued to introduce, "If you pay attention to Mr. President's tie clip and chest badge, you will understand that he is also a member of Saint and Harmony Society, and he has a very high status..."
Saint and Harmony Society, or any other secret society, has similar trinkets used to represent identity. These trinkets have their own unique anti-counterfeiting technology, and at the same time, no one will imitate them, because any secret society will hold regular activities, and everyone knows who is one of them and who is not.
The purpose of making such trinkets is to show off or have some other ideas.
The symbols of Saint and Harmony Society are the tie clip, chest badge and collar button.
Ordinary Saint and Harmony Society members will get a tie clip, which is a triangle-like shape composed of three wheat ears, with a sun in it.
If the status is higher, you can get a chest emblem. The chest emblem is also a triangular shape composed of three wheat ears with a moon in the middle.
In Bayer Federation traditional mythology, the sun represents perseverance, courage, and strength, while the moon represents wisdom and calmness.
Vice President wears a collar button, which is still a triangular shape composed of three wheat ears, but there is an eye inside.
Eyes have many symbols in the mythology and religious system of Bayer Federation, but here they represent omniscience and omnipotence, also called True Sight Eye, which can see through everything.
The collar button means that Mr. Vice President is a senior member of Saint and Harmony Society, and only senior members can wear such a collar button.
It is said that there is a higher level system, but these are just rumors after all. Even Saint and Harmony Society's own people don't know that there is such a fourth level. At Vice President's level, it is already the top level.
"They wear the same accessories to show their same status and background. Saint and Harmony Society has a great influence in Federal. If you notice, you can find that Mr. Vice President talks to those Saint and Harmony Society members for a longer time."
This is the value of a girl. She knows far more about Upper Class society than Lin Qi. If it were Lin Qi himself, he might not know these things until he went back and asked Ferral or the mayor. But now that he has a girl by his side, he knows everything immediately.
After the girl finished speaking, she asked curiously, "Didn't you go to the Saint and Harmony Society Alliance University?" In her opinion, going to the Saint and Harmony Society Alliance University seemed like something that should and was inevitable. She had never even thought about going to an ordinary university.
Lin Qi glanced at her, "I never went to college, but I have this plan."
"Sorry, I don't know..." The girl really didn't know. In a day or two, the housekeeper collected most of the information that people knew. If he wanted to know more secrets, he would have to use his connections.
This is not something that a housekeeper can decide. Even if there is a eldest lady of the family behind him, this will definitely alarm Wo Delike, so the search and investigation of Lin Qi's information are basically done after he becomes famous.
"After graduation" does not necessarily mean college, it could also be high school.
Lin Qi 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's not the girl's fault, nor Lin Qi's fault, then it's obviously society's fault. It happened that the time when he didn't go to college was during the tenure of the previous president, which to some extent reflects how disappointing the ousted president was.
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 unsure, so she could only nod slightly. She became more and more curious about Lin Qi. This big boy did not seem to be like those who come from ordinary families. His style and attitude were nothing like him!
Around half past six, some heavyweight guests started to show up.
Bayer Federation The definition of dinner is between 7:30 and 8:00. People often work in factories until 7:00, and with transportation, it is already after 7:30 when they get home and can eat.
Of course, don't think that this is just ordinary people's view of time. In fact, everyone is the same. It's like the exploiters have to watch the exploited being squeezed out of their last bit of strength before letting them go. The exploited get off work at seven o'clock, and the exploiters also get off work at seven o'clock!
Disregarding this common sense, when some important people begin to appear, people begin to gather slightly toward the entrance. This is also a privilege that only latecomers can enjoy - more people's respect and respect.
First, there are some famous capitalists. These people have great influence in society. They control the life issues of tens of thousands of workers and affect the livelihood of tens of thousands of families. They often appear in newspapers and people are familiar with them.
Then came some Progressive Party senior officials, members of Congress or some star politicians.
Seeing the increasingly famous guests appearing, the atmosphere at the scene became much more lively. Everyone was trying to find ways to get closer to these big names. Even if they couldn't speak a few words, it was great to become familiar with them.
Just when the activity was about to start, Lin Qi suddenly felt the girl's arm holding his arm a little harder. He looked towards the door and saw a gentleman who also belonged to Saint and Harmony Society's senior management was having a cordial conversation with the president.
Lin Qi glanced at the girl, then at the gentleman and the lady beside him, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Are you relatives?"
He felt that there was something special about the girl and these two people, especially the lady, they were so similar.
Sai Weiruila nodded, "My father, and my mother!"
