"This isn't a red carpet at a film festival. You're walking too slowly."
After entering the venue, Lynch reminded her. "People won't say nice things about you in magazines and newspapers just because you're walking slowly. They'll only laugh at you."
Penny lowered her head, feeling a little unhappy. However, she didn't dare to object to Lynch's opinion. "I know. I'll walk faster next time."
When the two entered the venue, the President and his wife came up to them.
"I'm glad you're here, Lynch …" The President's face was filled with a very friendly smile. He introduced his wife to Lynch. "This is Barbara."
The President's wife looked a little older than the President. This might be a characteristic of women in the Federation. When men and women of the same age stood together, the men would look younger, and the women would look older.
Her face was already a little loose, causing some wrinkles to appear on her face. However, she still looked like a very kind and gentle old woman.
"Hello, Lynch. He always mentions you to me."
Barbara reached out and shook Lynch's hand. According to social etiquette, she didn't need to shake Lynch's hand.
Of course, this was also considered by female athletes as one of the characteristics of a male-dominated society that oppressed women's rights. Women had a clearly lower status than men in social situations.
However, the organizer of today's party was Barbara. She couldn't be seen as an "accessory" of the President. She was also one of the hosts, so Lynch needed to give her a certain amount of respect.
"I'm very young. There will always be some things that I'm not good enough. I hope the President won't have too much of a headache when he mentions me!"
Lynch's humble words caused the President to laugh kindly. He patted Lynch's arm. "You're a likable young man. I won't have a headache because of you!"
Mr. President wouldn't have a headache if he took out the money so readily.
The President's wife reached out to Penny, who was a little embarrassed. "Hello, young and beautiful lady. I think I've seen you before?"
Penny looked like she was in a daze. She stared blankly at the President's wife without any response.
She was "shocked". This was the President's wife, the most honorable woman in the country. She actually took the initiative to invite me to shake hands. Oh my God …
Penny's mind was in a mess. She didn't even think that she should answer the President's wife instead of standing there in a daze.
Fortunately, Lynch reacted quickly. "She's an actress. She's acted in some movies."
Lin Qi helped Penny out of her predicament. His slow reaction was also a form of impoliteness. He responded at the right time.
.... I was too excited... I was too excited... I was too excited... You and Mr. President are my idols........ I was too excited...... I.. I.......... I was too excited.........
...........................................
The President's wife smiled. After Penny shook hands with her, she said with a smile, "When I was young, sometimes I would be like you. When I saw some famous people, I would be dumbfounded and speechless. Once you get used to it, there won't be any problems."
Seeing that the next couple had already finished walking the red carpet, Lynch bid farewell to the two of them for the time being.
After leaving Mr. and Mrs. President, a waiter came to receive them and led them to their seats.
"Your seats are in the third row. Please follow me …"
There was a name pasted on the back of every chair at the scene. These chairs were limited. Even if someone falsely received someone else's invitation, they wouldn't be able to find a seat after entering.
Those who were invited to the charity banquet by Mr. and Mrs. President were all socialites. It could even be said that they were public figures.
These people were well known by everyone. It was useless to hold someone else's invitation.
But even so, every time a person of this level held a party like this, there would always be people who tried their best to sneak in. After all, the people here were too honorable.
As long as they could get in touch with anyone, it would be a great opportunity for those small fries.
After the two of them found a seat and sat down, Penny appeared to be very excited. She had already tried her best to restrain her emotions, but her constantly jumping nerves still made her want to widen her eyes from time to time!
Most of the guests who came were of noble status. They were far from what a star like Penny could come into contact with.
Perhaps in the middle and lower classes of society, movie stars, actors, singers, or other performing artists had a lot of social status and influence. But in the real upper class, these people were not much different from ordinary people.
With just a phone call, their boss had to bring those big stars to all kinds of gatherings. They had to be careful, flattering, and flattering. Such people could not be real upper-class people. They were just a group of actors, a group of valuable vases.
It was also because of the huge difference in their social status that Penny was so shocked.
"Did we just talk to Mr. and Mrs. President?"
As if she had just reacted, she was filled with shock and annoyance, "Did I perform badly? Damn it, you should have reminded me!"
"That's Mr. and Mrs. President. Even our boss and boss's boss have never seen such a big shot, let alone shook hands with them or talked to them!"
Lynch glanced at her from the corner of his eyes, "Before we came, I told you that we were attending a charity banquet organized by Mrs. President!"
Penny's neck stiffened after hearing that, "I thought you just got an invitation 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 been to many similar banquets with the help of her manager.
He didn't ask to sit peacefully in the banquet, he only wanted to walk on the red carpet, and there would be a report in the newspaper the next day — — "Famous female star appears on the red carpet of a certain event"
Coming to participate and being personally invited by the host were two completely different types of treatment.
Although she felt that Lynch was very amazing, she shouldn't be able to make Mr. and Mrs. President so easy to talk to.
She had underestimated Lynch.
Lynch didn't care too much about this, "Not only do I know Mr. and Mrs. President of the Federation, I can even visit their house when I'm free. I also know the Emperor of Geffra, and I even slept with his sister!"
Penny's little mouth was wide open. She suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and there was a hint of joy on her face, "Does that mean I'm on the same level as the princess?"
Lynch didn't react to the question and just looked at her.
She explained a little, "You've slept with the princess, and you've slept with me. Then, the princess and I …"
Lynch reached out and flicked her forehead, "What are you thinking about, sit down obediently!"
The truth told Lynch that she couldn't sit down obediently. Although she didn't do anything rude, as long as a new guest arrived, she would whisper in his ear and "shout".
She knew most of the people who came, and she could tell some of these people's stories. She knew more about these people than Lynch.
When Mr. Vaudric brought Sevillera to the scene, Penny couldn't help but sigh, "Do you know, the most envious person of all the girls in the Federation is Sevillera?"
"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's said that it's about to be adapted into a movie."
"She can do the best in everything, and everyone hopes that they can become her."
There was a thick, undisguised envy and jealousy in her tone. Sevillera may be the "ceiling" in Penny's eyes.
After she said this, she fell into silence, because she suddenly realized that among all the female companions in the whole venue, she seemed to have the lowest status.
This was a big blow to a girl who was a bit of a gold digger, but also a somewhat proud girl.
Outside of here, she was always the focus of people's attention, and she was the object of people's conversation. But here, most of these people probably hadn't heard of her name.
She deeply felt how some of the "background" felt every time she attended an event.
Next was Mr. Akinson and his daughter Anna. Penny didn't even want to talk, and another "Princess" came.
In the Federation, although there was no such title as a princess, people still generally thought that girls like Sevillera and Anna were the country's princesses.
Suddenly, it was a bit depressing.
Then, the two young people from the Duncan family arrived, and the most important guests had all arrived.
Mr. Geronimo didn't come in person. At Mr. Geronimo's level, unless the president warmly invited him in public, he wouldn't casually attend any event.
Not to mention that this party was actually organized by the president's wife, Barbara, so Mr. Geronimo wouldn't come in person. It would be a bit degrading if he came.
It seemed funny that the president's wife's invitation would be degrading in the eyes of a capitalist, but this was the truth.
When a person controlled a percentage of the country's wealth, the president was just a symbol in front of them that could be replaced at any time.
Even the president wasn't angry that Mr. Geronimo didn't come in person, and he didn't think there was any problem.
With everyone's arrival, the charity party officially began.
The president's wife first explained the reason for the charity party, and then projected the shocking photo on a big screen.
The well-dressed men and women who were present all revealed expressions of pity, exclamation, or sadness, and exclamation.
They had completely forgotten that a random accessory on their body could save hundreds or even thousands of children like this.
Only when they needed to be sad, would they understand how to be a person!
