Traveling through the 80s, I picked up an actor

Chapter 114 Charity Gala

Just after New Year's Day, Li Zhendong received an invitation to a charity party. He immediately gave the invitation to Li Mubai and asked him to bring Jiang Li to attend.

Along with the invitation came the dress that Li Zhendong had carefully prepared for Jiang Li. It was so gorgeous and exquisite that Li Mubai once again began to speculate who was the son of the Li family.

Jiang Li tried on the dress and found it a little tight, which made her very frustrated. The dress was made according to her previous size, but she recently...

You've gained weight!

Jiang Li was stubborn and refused to change her size, so she just worked out hard at home. After dinner, she walked around the yard ten times, determined to lose the six pounds. Li Mubai felt that walking alone would not be effective, so he taught her a few sets of fitness exercises, which made her as tired as a dog. Oh no! Even a dog is not so tired! Sun's wife was also very cooperative, and she specially found a recipe for a diet meal, determined to let Jiang Li eat well and drink well without gaining weight.

With the unremitting efforts of the three, Jiang Li finally stuffed herself into the skirt the day before the charity gala, and she was so happy that she danced around the living room three times.

With the lesson learned from the last time, Li Mubai never let Jiang Li wear that pair of crystal shoes again. He specially asked a craftsman to customize a pair that was both beautiful and comfortable to wear. He made 5 pairs of different styles at once for Jiang Li to wear in turn.

When Wang Jingke heard that Jiang Li was going to attend the charity gala, he personally sent her a set of custom jewelry. In fact, he had sent jewelry several times before, but Jiang Li always refused to accept it. This time, Wang Jingke specially made a custom model, with the initials of Jiang Li's name engraved on the base, and the style was also specially made in the shape of a pear flower. This time, Jiang Li had no choice but to accept it.

Li Mubai thought that the jewelry set was very beautiful. The earrings, necklace and bracelet all had pear blossom elements. They were exquisite, luxurious and compact, so he decided to accept them for Jiang Li.

Wang Jingke then had a smile on his face. After all, he really could not repay the man who saved his life.

This kind of charity gala is actually a game for the rich and famous, usually attended by wealthy people and celebrities. Li Mubai rarely participated in such activities in the past, and donated only privately, but Li Zhendong had asked him to participate on behalf of the Li family, so he had no choice but to agree.

What Li Zhendong meant was that the three-year period was almost up, and it was time to gradually reduce activities in the entertainment industry and get more involved in the Li family's work.

In fact, Li Zhendong didn't need to say that Li Mubai's work in the entertainment industry has been gradually reduced. He entered the entertainment industry to find people, or to make people find him quickly.

Now that he is around, there is no need for him to work in the entertainment industry.

He still remembered that more than two years ago, he had just come out of a cocktail party when a very capable woman in a suit chased him. Li Mubai had met this person once at the cocktail party, but they were just nodding acquaintances.

"Mr. Li, I'm Xiao Fen from Longcheng Company. Are you interested in being an actor?"

"Not interested in."

"You have such good conditions, it would be a shame if you don't become a star."

"Sorry, I'm really not interested."

Li Mubai maintained his gentlemanly demeanor, but his concise answer already made his refusal clear.

But Xiao Fen did not give up. She had been searching for such a long time to find such a person who was just right in every aspect. How could she give up so easily?

Xiao Fen chased after him regardless.

"Mr. Li, if you agree to sign a contract with me, I will definitely make sure everyone in China knows you."

At that time, Li Mubai stopped and fell into deep thought.

Because of this sentence, Li Mubai agreed to sign a contract with her.

It's just that Li Mubai doesn't like being controlled, so although he is an artist under Xiaofen's name, Xiaofen has seen him only a few times. He doesn't need an assistant, doesn't like to go back to the company, and doesn't attend social events. Except for meeting him and chatting for a few words when signing a new project, Li Mubai actually lives a very mysterious life. Many times, even Xiaofen doesn't know what he is doing. But it's good this way. The artist is low-key and doesn't cause trouble, has no scandals, and has good business ability. What else can Xiaofen ask for? Li Mubai doesn't need her that much, but she can free up more energy to lead other artists. Why not?

After agreeing to sign the contract, Li Mubai worked exceptionally hard. Although he didn't like being disturbed, he would participate in all appropriate activities in order to increase his exposure.

One time in the break room, he suddenly asked, what else does he need to do to make the whole world see him? Can he become a movie star?

Then, he worked hard on filming and honing his acting skills.

Later, he finally received the "Best Newcomer Award". In the rest room, he asked again, "Does everyone in the world know him now? Then when will she appear?"

It was then that Xiao Fen realized that Li Mubai became an actor not for fame, but to find someone, or in other words, to make someone find him.

But Li Mubai never mentioned who that person was again.

But that night, he drank a lot of wine. When he left, he stubbornly refused to let anyone accompany him, and walked alone into the night wind.

But now, Li Mubai has found the person he was looking for, and being a big star has no meaning for him anymore.

But after all, we signed a three-year contract, so we still have to cooperate.

On the day of the charity gala, Jiang Li didn't wear the skirt that Li Zhendong prepared. It wasn't for any reason, the temperature suddenly dropped a lot that day. Although the skirt Li Zhendong prepared was very thick and he also prepared a mink coat, Jiang Li still felt chilly in the lower body. Li Mubai saw that her calves were frozen white and she sneezed twice, so he stopped her from wearing the skirt and asked her to change into a set of casual and warm clothes. He also gave her a long down jacket and wrapped her tightly from head to toe.

Jiang Li has always been a person who prefers warmth to grace. After putting it on, she really felt much more comfortable and never wanted to take it off again.

But when they were getting ready to leave, Jiang Li felt something was not right.

"Grandpa Li specially sent this skirt over here. Will it be bad if I don't wear it?"

Li Mubai helped her adjust the hood of her down jacket and said, "It's okay. If you can't wear it this time, you can wear it next time."

"Grandpa gave you clothes to make you happy. Everything else is based on your preferences and health."

"Will it embarrass you if I go in wearing a down jacket?"

After all, Hong Kong has always been a place where people respect clothes first and people later. She herself doesn't really care what she wears, but she doesn't want to lose Li Mubai's face.

Li Mubai smiled: "Li Li, you can wear the clothes I prepared for you if you want to, and you don't have to wear them if you don't want to. You don't need to worry about anything when you are with me."

No matter how beautiful clothes are, they should serve people, rather than the other way around, where people become slaves to the clothes.

With these words, Jiang Li felt relieved. After all, this down jacket was warm and comfortable, and she really didn't want to change it.

Before leaving, Mrs. Sun filled her thermos with a cup of warm water, and Li Mubai gave her a mask, fearing that her nose would feel uncomfortable from the cold wind on the way.

Jiang Li went to the party wearing a mask, a down jacket and holding a thermos cup. She was so low-key that she couldn't be any more low-key.

Jiang Li didn't want to walk the red carpet with Li Mubai, so she and Zhou Qian went in through the staff passage. After entering, she turned back and waited at the end of the red carpet, waiting for Qin Sisi and the others to come.

Unexpectedly, when she arrived at the venue, the first acquaintance Jiang Li met was Xue Lulu.
