"This is not a red carpet at a film festival. You're walking too slowly." After entering the party, Lynch reminded her a little, "People won't write for you in magazines or newspapers just because you walk slowly." Say something nice and they’ll just laugh at you.”

Petunia lowered her head and felt a little gloomy, but she still didn't dare to object to Lynch's opinion, "I know, I must walk faster next time."

When the two entered the party, Mr. President and his wife greeted them.

"I'm glad you can come, Lynch..." Mr. President's face was filled with a very cordial smile, and he introduced his wife to Lynch, "This is Barbara."

The president's wife looks a little older than the president. This may be a characteristic of federal women. When men and women of the same age stand together, the man will look younger and the woman will look older.

The loose skin on her face has caused some wrinkles on her face, but she still looks like a kind and gentle old man.

"Hello, Lynch, he always mentioned you to me." Barbara reached out and shook Lynch's hand. Originally, according to social etiquette, she and Lynch did not need to shake hands.

Of course, this is also considered by feminist athletes to be one of the characteristics of a patriarchal society that oppresses women's rights. Women have a significantly lower status than men in social situations.

However, the organizer of today's party is Barbara. She cannot be regarded as an "accessory" to Mr. President. She is also one of the hosts, so Lynch needs to give this status a certain amount of respect.

"I'm very young, and there will always be things I don't do well enough. I hope Mr. President won't have too much of a headache when he mentions me!"

Lynch's modest statement drew a good-natured laugh from Mr. President. He patted Lynch on the arm and said, "You are a likeable young man. I won't have a headache because of you!"

He paid for it so happily, Mr. President would not have a headache.

The president's wife extended her hand to Penny, who was a little embarrassed, "Hello, young and beautiful lady, I think I have seen you before?"

Penny looked at the president's wife blankly, as if she was dumbfounded, without any answer.

She was "scared". This is the president's wife, the most noble woman in this country. She actually reached out and invited me to shake hands. Oh my god...

Penny's mind was so confused that she didn't even think that she should answer the President's wife's words instead of standing there in a daze.

Fortunately, Lynch responded quickly, "She is an actress and has acted in some movies." Lynch came to Penny's rescue. It was also disrespectful to respond slowly. He answered the question at the right time.

Penny also reacted, and she apologized with a face of embarrassment and shame, "I'm sorry, ma'am, I... I'm so excited. You and Mr. President are my idols, and I don't even know how to express my inner thoughts. !”

Saying nice things will never make people unhappy, especially a young and beautiful girl. People will always have more tolerance for these young and beautiful girls.

The president's wife smiled, waited for Penny to shake her hand, and said with a smile, "When I was young, I would sometimes be like you. When I saw some famous people, I would be dumbfounded and speechless. I will wait for you in the future. Once you get used to it, it won’t be a problem.”

Seeing that the next gentleman and lady attending the party had already walked down the red carpet, Lynch said a temporary farewell to them.

After Mr. and Mrs. President left, a waiter came to receive them and led them to their seats.

"The seats for you two are in the third row. Please come with me..."

There is a name stuck on the back of every chair at the scene. There are a number of these chairs. Even if someone pretends to have received someone else's invitation, they will not be able to find a seat after entering.

Those who can be invited by Mr. President and Mrs. President to attend the charity gala are all celebrities and even public figures.

These people are all well known, and holding invitations from others is of no use at all.

But even so, every time a person of this level holds a similar party, there are always people trying their best to sneak in. After all, the people here are too noble.

As long as you can catch up with anyone, it is a great opportunity for those little people.

After the two of them found seats and sat down, Penny seemed very excited. She had tried her best to control her emotions, but her constantly excited nerves still made her eyes widen from time to time!

Most of the guests who came were of distinguished status, far beyond the reach of celebrities of Penny's level.

Perhaps in the middle and lower classes of society, actors such as movie stars, singers, or other performing artists have great social status and influence, but among the real upper class, these people are not much different from ordinary people.

With just one phone call, their boss would take those big stars to various gatherings, and they would have to be careful, please, flatter and make fun remarks. Such people cannot be real upper-class people, they are just a group of actors, a group of Just a valuable vase.

It was precisely because of the huge gap in social status between them that Penny was so shocked at this time.

"Did we just talk to Mr. President and Mrs. President?"

She seemed to have just reacted, full of shock and annoyance, "Did I behave badly? Damn it, you should have reminded me!"

"Those are Mr. and Mrs. President. Even our boss and boss's boss have never seen such big shots, let alone shook hands or spoken to them!"

Lynch glanced at her sideways, "I told you before we came here, we are attending a charity gala organized by the president's wife!"

After hearing this, Penny frowned, "I thought you just got an invitation letter from somewhere. You didn't say that Mr. and Mrs. President personally invited you!"

She felt that this was not her fault. In fact, she had attended many similar parties before with the help of her agent.

You don’t want to be able to sit safely in the party, but you just want to be able to walk on the red carpet and have it reported in the newspaper the next day: “A well-known actress appeared on the red carpet of a certain event.”

Coming to participate and being personally invited by the host are two completely different treatments.

Although she thinks Lynch is great, he is probably not so great that Mr. President and his wife can talk to him so easily.

She underestimated Lynch.

Lynch didn't pay too much attention to this, "Not only do I know Mr. and Mrs. President of the Federation, but I can also visit their homes if I have nothing to do. I also know the emperor of Gefra and even slept with his sister!"

Petunia's little mouth opened wide. She suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and there was a hint of joy on her face, "So, am I on the same level as the princess?"

Lin Qi was a bit unresponsive when asked, and just looked at her.

She explained briefly, "You have slept with the princess and you have slept with me, so are the princess and I..."

Lin Qi stretched out his hand and flicked her forehead, "What are you thinking about? Sit down quietly!"

Facts told Lin Qi that she could not sit down honestly. Although she did not do anything rude, whenever a new guest arrived, she would whisper in his ear and "scream" in his ear.

She knew most of the people who came and could tell some stories about these people. She knew more about these people than Lynch did.

When Mr. Wardrick came to the scene with Severella, Penny couldn't help but sigh, "You know, the person that girls in the entire Federation envy the most is Severella."

"In addition to having a good father, her own fashion brand is currently very popular among young girls. She can also write books, and it is said that a movie will be adapted soon."

"She was the best at everything and everyone wished they could be like her."

There was a strong, unabashed envy in her tone. Severella might be the "ceiling" in Penny's eyes.

After she said this, she fell into silence, because she suddenly discovered that among all the female companions in the entire venue, she seemed to have the lowest status.

This is a big blow to a girl who is a bit worshipper of money but also somewhat proud.

She was always the center of attention and the object of conversation outside of here, but here, most of those people had probably never heard of her name.

She deeply felt the "background" feeling every time she attended an event.

Next came Mr. Akin and his daughter Anna. Petunia didn't even want to say anything. Another "Her Royal Highness" came.

In the Federation, although there is no title like princess, people still generally believe that girls like Severella and Anna are the princesses of this country.

Suddenly, something was depressing.

Later, the two young men of the Duncan family also arrived at the scene, and the most important guests had also arrived.

Mr. Geruno did not come in person. At Mr. Geruno's level, he would not attend any event unless the President warmly invited him in public.

Not to mention that this party was actually organized by the president's wife, Barbara, and Mr. Geruno would not come in person. If he did, it would only be a bit out of character.

It seems funny that the president's wife's invitation is downgraded in the eyes of a capitalist, but this is the fact.

When one person controls a few percent of the country's wealth, the president is nothing more than a symbol that can be replaced at any time in front of them.

Even the President was not angry because Mr. Geruno did not come in person, and he saw no problem in this.

With everyone arriving, the charity party officially began.

The president's wife first explained the reason for holding this charity gala, and also projected the shocking photo on a big screen.

The well-dressed gentlemen and ladies present all showed expressions of pity, sighs, or sadness and exclaimed.

They completely forgot that any accessory they were wearing could save dozens, hundreds or even thousands of such children.

Only by being sad when you need to be sad is a person who understands how to be a human being!
