Rebirth: Good girls should not be let down, bad girls should not be wasted

Chapter 553: This old lady is blessed but doesn’t know how to enjoy it

Li Mubai has lived two lives and has long seen through the ways of the world.

Building connections and mixing in social circles are nothing more than a way to gain more resources and make your life better.

Maintaining relationships takes a lot of time and energy.

You have endless money to spend, so why waste time and energy on socializing?

With this time and energy, why not spend more time with your mother and girlfriends?

Living his life over again, Li Mubai can do whatever he wants.

I won't take the initiative to build relationships and expand my social circle.

But when I need to socialize, I don't resist.

I didn't expect that Gu Qiaoqian helped me expand my circle.

Li Mubai felt that there was no need.

But since it has already happened, Li Mubai didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

A few days after Gu Qiaoqian proposed to herself that Zhao Heitu was her godfather, Zhao Heitu happened to be holding a birthday party and he also sent invitations to Li Mubai and Gu Qiaoqian.

Li Mubai and Gu Qiaoqian also attended with gifts.

Zhao Heitu’s birthday party was quite grand.

The best restaurant in Chenyang was booked, and all the well-known stars and celebrities from all walks of life in Northeast China attended.

Although Li Mubai has gained some weight, he is still recognizable as Yan Zu.

Due to Li Mubai's sudden weight gain, he had to order a new suit.

Gu Qiaoqian also looked very decent and beautiful in her black dress.

Gu Qiaoqian appeared on stage holding Li Mubai's arm, and both of them were very eye-catching.

Gu Qiaoqian is now Zhao Heitu's goddaughter, and she and Zhao Heitu's apprentices treat each other as brothers and sisters.

Li Mubai didn't care and followed her, calling them brother and sister.

There were too many people coming to celebrate the birthday, and they were divided into different levels. Not everyone could get close enough to talk to Zhao Heitu.

Of course Li Mubai can do it.

Gu Qiaoqian introduced Zhao Heitu:

"Godfather, this is my boyfriend Li Mubai."

Li Mubai greeted politely:

"Teacher Zhao, I have liked you since I was a child. Thank you for taking care of Qiaoqian. It is my honor to be able to attend your birthday party."

Zhao Heitu held Li Mubai's hand and said:

"Xiao Li, you've gained weight. I used to think you were quite thin."

Gu Qiaoqian smiled and said:

"I have been resting since I was injured and couldn't exercise, so I gained weight. I just got better now, otherwise I would have come to see my godfather a long time ago."

Zhao Heitu said to Li Mubai:

"Well, don't call me Teacher Zhao anymore. Just follow Qiaoqian and call me."

Li Mubai nodded and said kindly:

"Okay, I'll call you Uncle Zhao from now on."

Li Mubai was unwilling to call him godfather like Gu Qiaoqian did, so he just called him uncle.

Zhao Heitu smiled and said:

"Okay, okay, let my apprentice arrange a place for you to sit. Chen Yang, come over and arrange for my goddaughter and Xiao Li to sit down."

Those who were responsible for the reception on site were all disciples of the Zhao family.

Famous ones like Liu Neng and Zhao Si both greeted guests at the door.

Xiao Chenyang had not yet appeared on the Spring Festival Gala at that time and was not very famous. He was responsible for ushering guests to their seats.

At this time, Xiao Chenyang already had the sissy style of the future role he would play in "Not Short of Money".

"Hey, Qianmei, you're here. I came here specially to see your girlfriend. Brother-in-law, why are you fatter?"

Xiao Chenyang had met Gu Qiaoqian before and was also quite familiar with Li Mubai.

Li Mubai liked Xiao Chenyang very much. He chatted with him for a few words and promised to reserve a role for him in future plays.

The seats assigned to Li Mubai and Gu Qiaoqian were relatively close to the front.

Li Mubai was brought to the table of business elites.

All those present are well-known business tycoons in Chenyang.

It was a bit strange to see young man Li Mubai sitting at this table with his girlfriend.

We are all from the same circle in the business world and almost everyone knows each other.

Where did this guy come from? He is sitting here with his girlfriend.

The elder brother next to him looked at Li Mubai and asked in a rough voice:

"Young man, you look unfamiliar. I've never seen you before."

The tone of the Northeastern brother is rather stiff, and adding "ni" at the end of his speech is a sign of politeness.

Li Mubai smiled and said:

"My name is Li Mubai, and I run a gaming company."

At this moment, a big brother suddenly slapped the table and said:

"I saw your face shaking, and it felt like you were fatter than before."

Li Mubai quickly started chatting with them in a familiar manner.

I don’t know if Li Mubai and Yiduoyun privately asked the people around them who this kid was.

After learning that Li Mubai was in the Internet industry and had a net worth of billions, no one dared to look down on the young Li Mubai.

Watching Li Mubai chatting with these "social big brothers", Gu Qiaoqian felt very happy.

Things were a bit unexpected. I sat with Li Mubai and became his open girlfriend in his social circle.

Zhao Heitu's disciples have been performing on the stage.

When most people had arrived, Zhao Heitu went on stage to speak, and the people in the audience applauded and cheered enthusiastically.

"Thank you all friends and leaders for coming. I would like to express my gratitude to you all here..."

After saying some polite words, Zhao Heitu continued:

"There will be an auction ceremony below. I will not keep a single cent of the proceeds from the auction. I will donate all of it to poor students in mountainous areas. I hope everyone will show some love, okay?"

The next step is to display some of Zhao Heitu’s handwritten calligraphy and meaningful props from the TV series he starred in.

One of Zhao Heitu's apprentices took the items and began to introduce them, guiding the people in the venue to start bidding.

Xiao Chenyang brought over the placard and asked anyone who wanted to participate in the auction to take one. Li Mubai gestured to Gu Qiaoqian to take one and asked Xiao Chenyang:

"How many pieces are there in total?"

Xiao Chenyang said:

"About thirty pieces."

It was my first time meeting Zhao Heitu, so I had to take something back.

The later the lots are, the more expensive they are.

Li Mubai didn't want to show off by bidding for the most expensive item in the venue, so he just bid for one of the last few items.

Li Mubai said to Gu Qiaoqian:

“Take a picture if you like it.”

Gu Qiaoqian held the number plate and nodded with a smile.

However, Gu Qiaoqian never raised the sign.

At this time, Zhao Heitu's reputation was at its peak.

Those who came to celebrate the birthday were very respectful and participated enthusiastically in the auction.

In a private auction like this, it doesn’t really matter what the items are. What matters is being able to establish a relationship with Zhao Heitu, or being able to ask for favors from him.

Wait until there are only a few lots left.

Bring up a piece of calligraphy written by Zhao Heitu himself.

Li Mubai said to Gu Qiaoqian:

"This calligraphy is very good. I'll buy it for my mother to keep."

Tian Manmei also likes Zhao Heitu's sketches. If you give her a piece of Zhao Heitu's calligraphy, she will definitely like it.

Gu Qiaoqian nodded, and after someone raised their cards a few times, she also started bidding.

Finally, someone raised his card several times and finally gave up.

Gu Qiaoqian bought the calligraphy at a record-breaking price of 660,000 yuan.

The crowd responded to the price with warm applause.

Gu Qiaoqian smiled and felt a sense of comfort she had never felt before.

Zhao Heitu also took the microphone to the stage and introduced happily:

"Thank you, thank you for the support of my goddaughter. Even if your partner is rich, you shouldn't just do it."

This was considered as a public acknowledgement in front of outsiders that Gu Qiaoqian was his goddaughter, and it also mentioned Li Mubai's identity.

Tell others that they are related to me, Lao Zhao, and ask them to give them some face in the future.

Everyone laughed out loud at Zhao Heitu's words, and looked over, curiously gazing at Zhao Heitu's new goddaughter and her partner, asking for information about them.

After the birthday banquet, Gu Qiaoqian and Li Mubai took a photo with Zhao Heitu holding the words they had photographed.

on the way back.

The two sat in the car, Gu Qiaoqian leaned on Li Mubai's shoulder and was in a very happy mood.

"husband!"

"Ok?"

"I really want to give this calligraphy to my aunt personally."

Li Mubai held Gu Qiaoqian's hand and joked:

"If you want my mother to kill me, just tell me."

Li Mubai came to attend Zhao Heitu's birthday party today without thinking too much.

Being able to make friends with Zhao Heitu is good for me, but it is just icing on the cake at most.

These are resources that Gu Qiaoqian earned herself.

But forget about wanting to recognize her as your mother-in-law.
