Chapter 164: First glimpse of the truth
Chapter 164: First glimpse of the truth
At this time, Anson realized that he had made a mistake. The other half of the introduction he had just made was unfinished, and he was stuck at half of it.
"Oh, sorry, my bad." Anson chuckled, "But it doesn't matter. Judy has been in our house for many years. How many years has it been? Six years? Seven years?"
Judy noticed Anson's questioning gaze, "Seven years."
"Seven years." Anson nodded and repeated, "She can also be considered a member of the Wood family. In fact, her children also come here often."
Nominally, Judy is the housekeeper, but unlike the housekeepers of the upper class of real aristocratic families, Judy does not live here. She just comes here every day to take care of the maintenance and operation of the entire building.
After all, this is a historical building, and daily maintenance is the key. Just like yachts, castles, manors, and other unreachable luxuries, the amount of the item itself is already very shocking, but the cost of subsequent daily maintenance is the key. The real big guys are burning money every day.
Judy, plays such a role.
Therefore, the relationship between Judy and the Wood family is not a simple employment relationship. It is indeed like friends. Occasionally they will sit down and discuss some topics. She also tutored the two Wood brothers in their homework for a period of time.
At this point, Anson looked at Judy and asked her children, "Are they all okay?"
Judy nodded politely in response——
In front of them, there is a guest who wants to disappear into a hole immediately. They should not go deep into the greetings.
Edgar's breath was stuck in his throat. Today was a collection of chaos and confusion. He couldn't count how many mistakes he had made.
This is unprofessional.
But Edgar did not escape. It is okay to make mistakes. It is more important to learn from mistakes. Facing mistakes calmly is also a kind of growth.
"God, I act like an idiot and always choose the wrong words at the wrong time. I'm sorry. Please forgive me for being rude."
Not only for Judy, but also for Anson, and Mrs. Wood, whom she has never met.
Judy's response was a different one.
"Perhaps, I should review my work. Is it too comfortable and too complacent that I treat myself as the master, which creates misunderstandings?"
Obviously, Judy still maintained her professionalism and did not get carried away because Anson said she was a member of the Wood family. She always adhered to her boundaries.
But if it were just that, it would seem too rigid and too rigid.
Judy added.
"But... hush. I think we should keep it a secret so no one else needs to know."
A harmless joke, taking all the blame on his own unprofessionalism, not only keeping Edgar's secret, but also keeping her secret, in this way, the mistakes of the two people offset each other.
Finally, Judy glanced at Anson, deliberately giving a "warning" look.
The whole process was handled appropriately and just right, and the atmosphere suddenly became lighter.
Anson understood, raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, and then silently zipped his mouth shut, ending the episode. Laugh it off.
Although it was not a big deal, Edgar found that the atmosphere in the Wood family was cordial and warm, different from the upper-class elite family he imagined, and his tension slowly relaxed quietly.
Involuntarily, Edgar looked at Anson again——
Maybe, that's what makes Anson so special?
Anson didn't pay attention to Edgar's thoughts, but looked at Judy, "Where are mom and dad?"
Judy, "You should call in advance. They must be very keen to see you. Mr. Wood is in London and will need to stay for a while; Mrs. Wood left for Paris the day before yesterday and is not sure about her schedule yet."
The Wood family is not considered wealthy. Anson's generation is only the third generation. The first generation comes from a scholarly family with mediocre assets but a rigorous upbringing that shows their heritage. It is only in the second generation that they enter the stage of wealth accumulation.
Charles Wood is an interior designer, but unlike ordinary interior design, he is not responsible for the design of pattern, decoration, color matching, etc., but is responsible for the matching of artworks and suggestions for layout.
For example, how to use an oil painting to show your tall image?
For example, where to place a certain antique to show your taste?
These details may seem unimportant, but they are actually the key, because the nouveau riche often don’t know the ropes, and they just put out all the valuable items at once. Not only do they not know how to match them, but they are also afraid that others will not see that they are rich. Such interior decoration can be done easily. Can reveal the truth.
Therefore, those with "new money" urgently need professional advice on how to show off their wealth appropriately and truly penetrate the upper class.
This is Charles' job.
He not only has vision, but also knowledge and heritage. Only by truly understanding the upper class and the origin and value of those artworks and antiques can he be a true professional.
It is precisely because of this that he accompanies his clients to auctions all over the world all year round, including new and old money, emerging elites and senior aristocrats, to explore the works of art and antiques worth paying attention to at auctions, etc.
In the eyes of those upper-class people, a knowledgeable and elegant person like Charles is very authoritative. He is often a popular person in different parties and societies. That background is a passport.
In the memory of the original owner, his father was more like a professor, knowledgeable and well-informed; but he did not have the aloofness of a scholar, and was willing to put down his body and integrate into society. The Wood family's rapid accumulation of assets was due to his good dancing skills.
Lucas is more like Charles.
It seems that Charles' trip to London this time should be for the auction; and Judy said that he needs to stay for a while, maybe to accompany the distinguished guests.
This kind of work can be long or short, it all depends on the mood of the distinguished guest. In the memory of the original owner, Charles once accompanied a distinguished guest for three months, traveling throughout Europe. After the trip, Charles' skin was left in Italy With a beautiful tan, I almost changed into a different person.
Nora Wood is an art curator who specializes in planning different exhibitions, including but not limited to paintings, photos, antiques, etc. Although her strength is painting and she also has a good reputation in this field, other He has also dabbled slightly in the field, constantly making new challenges.
What is unbelievable is that Nora studied financial management and has nothing to do with art. However, her father is a master of oil painting appraisal. He can identify the authenticity of oil paintings throughout the ages and is still the best in the industry. One of the top and most authoritative appraisal masters.
Therefore, Nora combined her heritage with her major, opened up a new path, and chose an unexpected career.
It can be seen from here that Nora, like Charles, is also a character who dares to break the tradition and be informal. When the two people fell in love, it was vigorous, just like a movie, full of romance, different backgrounds and different personalities, but they collided to create a wonderful chemistry. reaction.
