Perfect Superstar Chapter 155

Chapter 155 - Big Brother and Third Sister-In-Law

It was Li Mubai who called Lu Chen.

Li Bai's tone was a little excited: “Brother Chen, my big brother wants to see you!”

Li Mubai's big brother?

Lu Chen was dumbfounded, but he soon realized that Li Mubai's big brother should be able to help him.

A few days ago, because of a very important matter, Lu Chen asked Li Mubai to help him to see if the latter could help him contact the relevant people, etc., so as to avoid being someone who's holding a pig's head, but couldn't find the temple door. (TN: He has something to offer but don't know where to offer it.)

China is a human society, if you want to start a career, having connections is really important.

Li Mubai has an extraordinary family background, coupled with his straightforward personality, he must know a lot of friends in Beijing. It is better to ask him for help than to sit in the studio and wait.

Whether it succeeds or not, it's always right to try.

To Lu Chen's surprise, Li Mubai unexpectedly invited his big brother.

Lu Chen had no idea who Li Mubai's big brother was, but listening to his tone, it's obvious that things have begun to take shape.

It was also amazing that Lu Chen and Li Mubai have never met in person, but the relationship between them has changed from former anchors and fans to something of a real friend.

Had it not been for this relationship, Lu Chen wouldn't have asked Li Mubai for help.

Just like Chen Jianhao's view of Lu Chen - his pride is deep in his bones.

Lu Chen hurriedly asked, “When and where will I meet you? I'll come over myself.”

Li Mubai asked, “Where are you now?”

Lu Chen replied, “I'm at Jinghua Hotel near the Creative Park. I invited people from Nirvana Studios to dinner in the evening. My album has been completed. It is expected that it will available for sale on QQ Music in two days.”

“Is your album been completed?”

Li Mubai was pleasantly surprised: “Great, then I will mobilize everyone to support it, and help you get on the sales list. It's just that downloading on the Internet is boring, and only a real album will have an appeal.”

Lu Chen taught him the word “appeal”. He learned it from the dream world, and the opposite of it is “boring”.

Li Mubai likes to apply the things that he learns. He often wrote it in the bullet screen in the broadcast room from time to time.

According to his words. Li Bai is a man of great appeal.

As for his nemesis, Alsace, that is, the exact opposite of him, boring!

Lu Chen said with a smile, “I asked you to help me with the record. The specific situation is more complicated. Let's meet and talk.”

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he would like to meet his staunch supporter.

“Good!”

Li Mubai said: “At 7:30 in the evening, go to the Ping'an District on Beijing Second Ring Road and call me when you get there.”

Lu Chen certainly has no objection.

He was very happy.

This thing, which has been planned for a long time, finally has hope for success!

Back in the box, Lu Chen apologized to Wang Changsheng and the others, and asked Lu Xi to continue to eat with everyone.

He first went back to the studio by himself.

Lu Chen's studio had bathroom facilities in the lounge. He took a quick bath, washed away the smell of alcohol, then changed into a set of clean and tidy clothes and went out.

Because he had a drink in the evening, Lu Chen didn't drive his car, so he stopped a taxi on the roadside and rushed to Ping'an District.

Taxi drivers are locals. Anyone who often takes a taxi in Beijing knows that the greatest characteristic of local masters is that they can talk well. Knowing astronomy above and geography below, the temples are as high as rivers and lakes. They will talk about everything.

The same is true to the middle-aged driver. When Lu Chen said that he was going to the Ping'an District on Beijing Second Ring Road, his chatterbox opened immediately, and saliva flew out incessantly.

Ping'an District is one of the earliest high-end communities in Beijing, with an extremely superior geographical location, in which 70% of the buildings are villas. The people who live in it are either rich or powerful.

When Ping'an District opened for sale more than ten years ago, it set a new record for house prices in the country at that time, and now it has increased at least tenfold. A large villa is worth at least 100 million of yuan.

Speaking of housing prices in Beijing, the old driver sighed unceasingly. He said that he thought the house price of 5,000 yuan was too expensive to buy, but now he couldn't buy one for 50,000 at the same location, and he regretted until his intestine turned green.

Lu Chen listened to him talking all the way, but time passed quickly.

Fortunately, the taxi didn't run into a traffic jam on the way. Lu Chen arrived at Ping'an District at 7 o'clock.

After paying the fare, he got out of the car and called Li Mubai.

As a high-end community, the security of Ping'an District is very strict. Lu Chen can't get in without a pass.

Li Mubai came out quickly.

This was the first time Lu Chen has seen him in person!

Li Mubai is one year younger than Lu Chen, and has a standard height of about 1.75 meters.

He has short hair and is not very handsome, but at least he has good facial feature, his body is full of youthful vitality, and his hip-hop style is eye-catching.

“Brother Chen!”

Seeing Lu Chen, Li Mubai ran over with a smile, opened his arms and gave Lu Chen a firm hug.

Lu Chen patted him hard on the back and said with a smile, “Li Bai!”

Although it was the first time they have meet each other in person, the two have chatted online many times and are quite familiar with each other.

So, it feels like a reunion of old friends that haven't seen each other for many years, with joy and excitement from the bottom of their heart!

There was no strangeness or alienation.

Li Mubai let go and said, “Let's go to my house. My big brother and third sister-in-law are already there.”

Lu Chen asked curiously, “Is this going to bother your big brother?”

As they walked and chatted, Li Mubai explained: “This is just a trivial matter for my big brother.”

“However, my big brother has always not care about my business, so I asked third sister-in-law for help. Third sister-in-law likes your songs very much, and says that you are very talented. My big brother loves third sister-in-law the most. This is called a curve to save the country!” (TN: Curve to save the country - saving the situation in an indirect way.)

There was a triumphant look on his face, with an expression of “I'm smart, please praise me.”

Wait!

“Uh…”

Lu Chen listened to this, feeling that something was not right - Li Mubai's big brother doesn't care about him, he asked his third sister-in-law for help, and his big brother loves his third sister-in-law.

Your circle, it seems to be a bit messy!

Probably noticing Lu Chen's strange look, Li Mubai said with a laugh, “Don't get me wrong. I only have one big brother, but there are three sisters-in-law. He became a native of Taiwan in his early years, and the three sisters-in-law are from Taipei, Taiwan.”

Taiwan natives!

Lu Chen was suddenly enlightened.

As early as 1967, Taiwan returned to the embrace of the motherland together with Hong Kong. In addition, Macao City returned to the motherland in 1969. It is the three major special administrative regions (SAR) that implement the "one country, two systems” policy.

The political system is different, and the law in the SAR are also quite different from those of China. The most typical one is the Marriage Law, which allows polygamy in all three special zones.

For example, He Liangwei, the famous gambling king of Macao City. He owns a seven-star Aojing Hotel and three luxury casinos. His business scope includes gambling, real estate, logistics, entertainment and other industries, with assets of more than 50 billion yuan.

What people like to talk about most about He Liangwei is not how much money he has, but that he has a total of seven wives. In addition to the first wife, the other six include four Miss Macau and two Miss Hong Kong. He can be called a real winner in life.

It is precisely because of the different marriage laws that many rich people in Taiwan are trying to find ways to move to the three special zones. What they want is to marry more wives, enjoy the happiness of having more wives, and at the same time open branches and spread leaves, and have babies enter their families!

However, after entering the new century, the feminist movement has risen, and the calls for the three special zones to abolish this unfair marriage system are getting stronger and stronger. Therefore, both Taiwan and Hong Kong are planning to amend the marriage law and abolish polygamy.

It is said that there is a lot of resistance.

With that, the two came to the front of a large villa in the community.

The area of Ping'an District is very large. There is an artificial lake in the center of the community. Many villas are built around the lake, scattered and separated by greenbelt to ensure privacy.

The villa of Li Mubai's family is three storeys high, at least 600-700 square meters in size, and there is a small garden in front of it.

It was already dark, and the street lamps standing on the green field emitted a soft light, which evenly illuminating the cobblestone path leading to the front door, surrounded by a serene scene.

Li Mubai stepped forward and opened the door. A magnificent hall immediately appeared in front of him, and a huge chandelier suspended from the dome was emitting thousands of rays of light. It was as if it were a palace.

Li Mubai made a gesture of invitation to Lu Chen and said, “Brother Chen, welcome to my house!”

Lu Chen smiled and said, “Thank you.”

Although Li Mubai's home was astonishing, it will not make Lu Chen lost himself.

When his family was not in a decline at that time, the place where he lived was also a villa in the best community in Binhai. Although it couldn't compare to the billion-yuan house in front of him, he has also enjoyed riches and honor.

Lu Chen walked into the door very naturally. The living room was empty and there was no one there.

Li Mubai said, “Big brother is listening to third sister-in-law playing the Guqin in the teahouse on the second floor. I'll take you up.” (TN: Guqin – a seven-stringed plucked instrument in some ways similar to the zither.)

Under his guidance, Lu Chen came to an elegant room on the second floor of the villa.

Although it was said it was a teahouse, but in fact, it was more like a large study. The decoration was completely antique in Chinese style. There were many famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, and there was a faint smell of tea in the air.

He saw a man in a white gown sitting on a mahogany chair, listening to a woman in cheongsam playing the Guqin. (TN: The man was wearing something like this. Here.)

Seeing Li Mubai and Lu Chen come in, the man in white raised his right index finger and made a silent gesture.

The graceful woman was playing the Guqin with great concentration. The sound of was like the sound of nature. It was impressively the melodious and smooth Xiaoxiang Shuiyun. Listening carefully made people unconsciously enter into the vast artistic conception of clouds and water. (TN: Xiaoxiang Shuiyun is a very famous tune in Guqin.)

Li Mubai and Lu Chen stood still until the other party finished playing the ancient song.

But Lu Chen was surprised to find that he actually knew the Guqin player, that is, Li Mubai's third sister-in-law!
