Chapter 1393 Opening of the Charity Summit

In the evening, after Yang Cheng finished his day's work, he welcomed the designer of LV in the office. Due to the recent change of body shape, the size records kept in LV in the past may be invalidated.

A few days ago, a tailor came to re-measure the size. Today I want to try on new clothes and change into a brand new dress so that I can attend the opening ceremony of the charity summit in the evening, which is also a small welcome reception. The next day, many people gather The world's top rich and famous in New York will launch a series of discussions on philanthropy.

Yang Cheng tried a pure white dress first, but he rejected it as soon as he got on the upper body. No matter how it looks like a wedding dress, it is better to be more solemn when attending a charity summit.

The designer moved almost the entire designer room on the third floor of the LV flagship store. There were as many as 40 dresses to choose from, as well as professional makeup equipment, which of course was prepared for Luo Yue.

Andrew went to the airport to pick him up, and it was time to see.

Just when he had an idea, Su Su knocked on the door and came in, followed by Luo Yue who was dressed casually.

Yang Cheng stood where she was, letting the designer grope around her body to check if there were any omissions in the details.

Seeing Yang Cheng open her arms, Luo Yue naturally gave her a hug and kiss, then took a step back, pinched her chin and looked at her whole body, and commented, "This body is not bad, I like this kind of fabric."

The designer poked his head out behind Yang Cheng and smiled, "Miss Luo has a great vision. This is the latest fabric, which incorporates silk elements from country Z. The surface is smooth and breathable. Without losing the heavy feeling, It highlights the characteristics of lightness as much as possible, and it does not look cumbersome and burdensome when worn.”

Yang Cheng nodded in agreement, "That's right, and it won't restrict activities. Just use this kind of fabric, and according to different usage occasions, help me make 10 more sets, and another 10 sets of ladies' suits are needed."

The designer worked hard all afternoon, just waiting for this sentence, "No problem, Mr. Yang."

Yang Cheng was finally able to move. The open suit revealed a pure white shirt. Before she could match it with a tie, she had time to ask the designer to style Luo Yue.

After a lot of work, finally after the night fell completely, both of them got into the Maybach and prepared to go to the municipal library where the opening ceremony of the charity summit was held.

Maybach walks through the bustling streets of Manhattan. If you look down from the air, the neon lights at night light up every street in Manhattan, outlining the exquisite and neat urban planning of Manhattan.

Because it was Friday night, the evening rush hour was extremely long, and the Maybach was inevitably stuck in traffic jams. Fortunately, Luo Yue was with him, so traffic jams were not boring.

The century-old New York Public Library is located in the downtown area of ​​Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street in Manhattan. The library is surrounded by tall buildings and busy traffic. The bustling crowd seems to be on Wall Street, unlike a quiet library, especially tonight. Gathered a group of the richest people in the world, countless bystanders and the media turned this place into a noisy Beverly Hills, and the flashing lights were like snowflakes, bright as day.

As one of the largest libraries in the world, the New York City Library is completely different from common libraries, and it is the kind that can subvert the concept.

This place is more like a classical art museum. Get off the car and come to the broad library steps. The library in front of you is a palace-style building with a neoclassical style.

Against the background of colorful lights,

This "palace" exuding a strong historical and artistic atmosphere is even more magnificent. Like the Central Station, it is one of the most famous landmarks in the Big Apple City. Many Hollywood movies such as "Spiderman", "New York Escape" and so on , all set in the New York Public Library.

There is a pair of tall reclining lions in front of the library, which are similar to the stone lions used to guard houses in front of the ancient royal mansions of country Z.

But they are not ordinary stone lions. They have names. They were originally named after two philanthropists who donated money to build libraries. Renamed "Patience" and "Perseverance".

If it is an ordinary day, you will definitely be able to see many tourists taking pictures in front of the tall stone lions, touching the cold body of the lion, and it seems that you can feel the powerful power of "patience" and "perseverance"!

Not convinced, as the sponsor of the Charity Summit, this time it kept a low profile. There was no welcome ceremony, no red carpet, and the media was kept at the periphery, keeping away from the guests as much as possible, except for those who needed Except for the well-known celebrities, the rich and powerful all walked quickly through the media encirclement area and stopped staying too much in front of the camera.

The entire library building is made of milky white marble, inlaid with bronze-colored alloy doors and windows and roof decorations. It is gorgeous and elegant. Luo Yue, who came to the municipal library for the first time, was amazed by it.

Holding Yang Cheng's arm, he said softly, "After the summit is over, I'm going to take a look around."

While resisting the invitation letter, Yang Cheng said softly, "Well, I will bring you here then."

Entering the magnificent hall of the library, there are simple and gorgeous chandeliers hanging from the high vaulted ceiling. The name of the author, against the backdrop of the candlelight, looks extremely stalwart.

Standing in the hall, it seems more difficult to connect this building with the library, which is obviously more artistic than the Metropolitan Museum, just like the poet Borges said: "Paradise should look like a library."

After signing in at the welcome desk facing the gate, there was a special person responsible for leading the two of Yang Cheng to the main venue. Yang Cheng asked directly, "Have Mr. Gaizi and Mr. Buffett come yet?"

The welcoming beauty looked professionally trained and had a very standard smile, "Mr. Buffett has arrived."

Yang Cheng nodded slightly and stopped talking, gently stroked Luo Yue, and walked towards the stairs.

There are two staircases hidden behind arched stone pillars on the left and right of the hall, as if suspended in the air, which is unique.

After walking up to the second floor, the long corridor is a reading room. The historical pictures of the library are displayed in the exhibition corridor. The reading room is empty. Someone is reading quietly and attentively, as if isolated from the world, this is a completely different world from the hustle and bustle outside.

The reading room is elegant and warm, full of humanistic atmosphere, which makes you naturally hold your breath and don't want to disturb.

Of course, Yang Cheng just took Luo Yue for a brief tour, and then continued to the third floor, where the main venue was.

Compared with the first floor, the hall on the third floor is more magnificent, just like being in the banquet hall of a European castle, with towering arches and exquisite mural decorations on the four corners of the wall, depicting historical stories recorded in words and printing;

The oil painting on the ceiling can be described as a masterpiece of art. Almost everyone who came in looked up at the same time. Even though Yang Cheng had been here when he was a child, the huge mural was still deeply imprinted in his mind.

That is to say, in a glass cabinet in this hall, there is the treasure of the municipal library - Gutenberg's "Bible". This is the first Gutenberg's "Bible" to come to the New World of America. It is said that this The "Bible" was circulated in the 15th century, and only 48 copies remained intact.

The two made a pilgrimage to the "Bible" for a long time, but neither of them were Christians, and they stayed for a while with the mentality of admiring historical relics. They didn't even take pictures, and entered the famous "Rose Master Reading Room" .

Different from the quiet atmosphere in the past, today's "Rose Reading Room" is full of people. Gentlemen in solemn dark dresses and ladies in elegant and low-key dresses shuttle through the spacious reading room in pairs.

The first thing that caught the eye was a black lady with fluffy and long hair like a lion. Oprah Winfrey in a purple dress attended this charity summit as a charity representative of the entertainment industry.

It seemed that she had just arrived, and she hadn't had time to find a suitable conversation target, but Yang Cheng followed closely and naturally attracted her attention. After a little hesitation, she came over with a glass of wine, "Mr. Yang?"

Yang Cheng immediately picked up a glass of champagne from the wine table on the side of the entrance, and raised a glass to the other party, "Hey, Gail, do you want to be out of touch like this?"

Gail is her middle name.

Oprah moved her plump body, showed her iconic smile, and warmly hugged her, "Jason, long time no see, how have you been recently?"

"It's not bad, Gail, let's change places? We can't block the door to prevent people from entering, can we?"

Oprah readily accepted the proposal, and moved to another place to continue chatting. During this period, Yang Cheng did not forget to introduce her fiancee Luo Yue to her.

"Jason, I met your mother at a party last year, and she was very pleased that you turned your back on you."

As the most influential black woman in the world, there is no one. Oprah's network of contacts has long since expanded beyond the entertainment circle. In fact, Yang Cheng and Oprah know each other because of their mother Liu Yun.

Yang Cheng shrugged, "I used to be young and ignorant, but now I'm finally on the right track, and I haven't disappointed those who care about me."

Oprah said sternly, "That's right, your achievements today also prove that you are a capable child."

"Thank you, Gail, by the way, why didn't you see Mr. Graham?"

Stedman Graham is Oprah's other partner, but because of some unexplainable relationship, he has never been married and has no children. They have been with each other for more than 20 years, and they are relatively long-term relatives. companion.

"Originally he wanted to accompany me, but he couldn't come because of some personal matters."

Stedman Graham is also a very successful educator and philanthropist. Although his name is not well-known, and he is completely overshadowed by Oprah's reputation, he has never complained, just from this point of view , but he is a good man who is willing to pay for his lover!
