Chapter 83
She passed it to others to see, "It looks great, doesn't it?"

The ladies didn't know whether they understood it or not, and they all praised it, "Very good."

Su Xiaocai had no place to put her hands, so she had to put them behind her back.

This painting is very ordinary. After all, she hasn't painted for many years and her hands are not very familiar with it.

The advantage lies in the better artistic conception.

They were really embarrassed to praise me.

Seeing Su Xiaocai was silent, Luo Yun asked, "Wouldn't it be convenient for you to tell me who the painter is?"

"It's not inconvenient." Su Xiaocai lowered her head slightly, pretending to be shy, "I drew it myself."

I originally wanted to buy some beautiful paintings at a good price.

She couldn't understand why the price was driven up to hundreds of thousands.

What she can understand only costs a few dozen dollars. It's nice to buy it and hang it on the wall, but it's not suitable to give it as a birthday gift.

After much thought, I decided to buy some colored ink and paint myself at the last minute.

Luo Li and Luo Yun looked at the painting and then at her.

"impossible?"

"Oh, then it's not drawn by me." It just so happened that she didn't care much about the ownership of the painting. Art is a matter of personal opinion.

It is a priceless treasure to those who like it, and it may also be worth a lot of money to those who speculate on it.

Su Xiaocai admits that she has no appreciation for art; she paints and plays musical instruments only to cultivate her temperament and to mitigate her occasional outbursts of anger.

After traveling to this world, she has never been violent again.

Luo Yun and Luo Li knew that Su Xiaocai was joking. The ink had not even dried yet, which showed that it was a temporary painting.

"That's thoughtful. I like this painting very much. All my birthday presents will be auctioned. Did Qingqing tell you?" Luo Yun asked her to sit down. "Come sit here with me."

Luo Li gave up her seat and sat with the other ladies.

Su Xiaocai: "Birthday presents as auction items?" Wu Qingqing never said that.

"Didn't Qingqing tell you?"

"no!"

"Will there be an introduction to the source of the gifts later?"

Although she didn't want to hear that "yes", Luo Li nodded clearly.

It was a bad idea. If I had known she would just buy the works for a few dozen yuan. When she announced the names, at least she wouldn't be the only one embarrassed.

Seeing Su Xiaocai's depressed expression, Luo Li said jokingly, "It's okay. Your work is very good. So many of us think it's good. It will definitely not be a failure later."

Stop it, Ms. Luo. Her high heels are not strong enough today and she can’t pick her toes.

Luo Yun is not as mischievous as Luo Li. This former admiral is no different from ordinary women. She likes to ask children about their studies, friends, and hobbies and interests.

"Have you decided to go into business in the future? I heard that you have a great talent for command and mecha piloting skills, so joining the military must be a promising career for you."

“I am also very successful now.”

Luo Yun didn't think Su Xiaocai was being arrogant.

He just touched her head lovingly and said, "By the way, let me introduce you to the lady here."

"This, Ms. Deng Ping, is a researcher at the Ten Star Universe Energy Development Bureau. You probably haven't seen her, but you should have heard of her. She is Hu Ning's wife."

Researcher at the Energy Development Bureau, you can tell it's a high-ranking position just by hearing it.

Su Xiaocai: "Uncle Hu always brags to us about how knowledgeable you are, Sister Deng. Today, I finally see you in person."

Deng Ping grinned, "You call Hu Ning Uncle Hu, why are you calling me Sister Deng?"

"Call them by their own names. Uncle Hu looks calm and mature, while Sister Deng looks young and gentle. I can't bring myself to call her Auntie." Deng Ping does look young, with delicate eyebrows and eyes. Her petite body wrapped in a white dress is incredibly beautiful.

It’s a good deal for Mr. Hu.

Deng Ping laughed out loud, Hu Ning was calm and mature?
Uh, that fat body is indeed heavy.

"I'll ask him to lose weight when I get back. It's just that he's too heavy."

Su Xiaocai is a cheerful person, eloquent and not flattering.

The rhythm of the lively atmosphere is just right, not boring, but also keeps everyone talking.

Those slightly reserved ladies were unknowingly dragged into the vortex of conversation by her and couldn't get out.

In less than twenty minutes, Su Xiaocai had made the ladies let down their guard and started talking about the secrets in the entertainment industry.

"You know, the illegitimate son of the Yi family who was kicked out now lives in a densely populated area. He even had his legs broken."

Su Xiaocai was in a very good mood when she heard that Yi Suilu's leg was broken. The enemy's miserable state proved that her retaliation was effective.

Although it was very cold-hearted of the Yi family to abandon the illegitimate child they had raised for more than ten years, they did the right thing. If you have a mental problem, you should get treatment and learn your lesson.

Another lady pressed the issue: "Broken legs? Why was he beaten?"

"I heard that he was too arrogant. I don't understand how a bastard like him got the confidence. He took someone else's pet home without permission. From the surveillance video, he took it home and cooked it for food."

"Oh my god, is he so poor that he eats other people's pets? Is it true that the Yi family doesn't give him a penny?"

"It was a clean break. The Yi family is well-educated. If I were the Yi family, I would definitely want to strangle this illegitimate child and pretend he had never been born."

"Where did you get this information from? I've never heard of it before."

Su Xiaocai pricked up her ears.

"No, there's no need to dig. I've been to Central Park more often recently, and the people sitting there are all nannies and security guards from upper-class families."

"Can they tell you this? They only spread it among their own circles."

"Just dress modestly and say you are also a nanny in a certain family. How difficult is that?"

"As expected of someone who used to be a movie queen."

Then there is the touching story of the father and son of the Tian family fighting over a daughter, and it turns out that the girl is a member of the Tian family.

There is also Li, who creates a happy family in the outside world, but spends his time drinking and carousing outside. He has already gotten pregnant with another rich girl, and is conspiring with his mistress, who is a man and Li's secretary. The two men are planning to seize the property of his wife and the mistress.

Li will also be present at today's banquet, but we don't know who he will bring with him.

It's so exciting. No matter how well-educated or knowledgeable a person is, they cannot escape the nature of being a spectator.

Listening to species diversity is also a form of knowledge accumulation (not).

"Sisters, I'm curious about something. Have you heard any rumors about the Xue family and the Ji family recently?" Su Xiaocai asked.

"The younger generations of their two families are engaged, right? Have you heard any rumors at school?"

"If I tell you this, it might sound biased. Xue Huiyi and I don't get along, so I can't tell you. You can go to our school forum and check out several versions of the story."

Xue Huiyi said she would cancel the engagement on her own initiative, but it seemed like she was just talking and didn't take any action.

She made an agreement with Ji Li that the video of Xue Huiyi breaking off the engagement must be recorded and given to her.

There is no movement now, it's too slow.

This matter cannot be left unresolved. What if I have evidence to deal with Xue Huiyi, but Xue Huiyi is still in contact with Ji Heng?

Ji Li is her important experimental subject and also her friend.

It will be very troublesome if the Ji family intervenes.

The news that Xue Huiyi took the initiative to cancel the engagement didn't spread to the Xue family circle, so she took the initiative to add fuel to the fire.

Luo Yun frowned: "Little friend, don't be too honest. Don't easily say that you have a bad relationship with someone, especially the Xue family."

"Thank you Aunt Luo, but I think it's better for me to be sincere in front of you. Everyone in the school knows that she and I are incompatible. She slandered me for seducing her fiancé. God knows how wronged I am. I have never been alone with her fiancé. I am only familiar with his brother."

Su Xiaocai doesn't mind others knowing her hostile relationship with Xue Huiyi. It's not that she wants to be Xue Huiyi's enemy, but that Xue Huiyi wants her dead.

Anyone with a little conscience would not allow classmates and instructors to go to Huang Yangxing.

The Xue family is so powerful that Xue Huiyi doesn't have to worry about the consequences of leaking future secrets.

Alternatively, you can secretly release the message, which at least can provide early warning.

Before leaving, Ji Heng asked her what she did.

She used the broken engagement to make Ji Heng retreat, and then watched him die. She could be so cruel to her childhood sweetheart, let alone herself who had already offended her.

From Xue Huiyi's perspective, this may be natural.

"Unfaithful" scumbags and enemies should not stand in her way.

Su Xiaocai was too disdainful to think from the enemy's perspective. She thought, "If you're the enemy, just fight back."

Just a few words and the smart people will find something to eat and share it selectively.

The ladies stopped talking about gossip and returned to today's donation project.

Tell me in private how much you plan to donate, I'm afraid of being disliked if I step out in front of others.

Luo Yun: "You can donate as much as you want, and donate in your own name. If you don't want your name to be shown, you can donate anonymously." "Little girl, what about you? Do you plan to donate?" Deng Ping continued: "You are just a child, just watch, and you don't have to raise your hand when the auction starts."

"Yeah. Actually, I have donated, directly to the battlefield." I donated a Black Wing, which can be sold for several hundred million.

Someone asked how much he donated, and Su Xiaocai said carefully: "I donated some patented technology."

"Can patented technology be donated?" Why didn't they think of that? The value of patented technology cannot be measured.

They all praised her for being great.

She was too tough just now, and being too tough can easily lead to breaking.

Knowing that she donated the patent, her favorability rating, which had dropped, rose again.

A foolish person is so stubborn that he is extremely stupid.

For someone who is good at studying and has made scientific contributions, being upright is at most a sign of low emotional intelligence, which is harmless.

It's such a double standard.

The banquet was almost time, and Luo Yun had to fix her makeup and hair before making her final appearance. Luo Li and the ladies took Su Xiaocai out of the VIP room.

When she arrived at the banquet hall, the little girl was surrounded by so many noble ladies, like the moon surrounded by stars.

People around looked over.

Someone came up to talk to her, "Whose girl is this? She's so cute."

"She's a classmate of our kid. We invited her to come over and play." Luo Li didn't take the initiative to reveal Su Xiaocai's identity. She gently pointed to the young people gathered at the other end of the hall and said, "Qingqing is also over there. You young people should have more topics to talk about together. Go and play."

Su Xiaocai saw Wu Feiyang and Hu Ping were beside Wu Qingqing.

"Then I'll go play with them, sisters. We'll talk again when we have a chance." Su Xiaocai blew a kiss and walked towards Wu Qingqing with happy and cheerful steps.

As soon as she left, more people asked Luo Li about Su Xiaocai's identity.

I learned that such a young girl turned out to be the boss of a gaming company that was hotly discussed on the internet.

"Mr. Wu and Mr. Hu's investment vision is indeed extraordinary."

……

Wu Qingqing had already seen Su Xiaocai, "Master, you're here?" She hurriedly pulled her in front of two friendly-looking men and women.

"My brother and sister, this is my master, Su Xiaocai, the major shareholder of the Feifan Island Project, and the master who taught me martial arts."

Su Xiaocai shook hands with each of them and said, "Nice to meet you."

Sister Wu: “Hello.”

Brother Wu and Sister Wu are both leaders in their respective fields of work. They have elegant conversation and their own aura, and they are surrounded by many friends who look like elites.

Birds of a feather flock together. If you don't deliberately cultivate friendships, then your circle of friends will mostly consist of people with similar conditions to yourself.

Speaking of the Extraordinary Island Project, the elites have also paid attention to this hot topic.

They have little interest in playing games, but the game design concept of the Extraordinary Island Project is remarkable, the experience is very realistic, and it is very suitable for promotion on campus and in the military.

One of them asked: "Are you interested in cooperating with the Education Bureau?"

"Thank you, but I don't have any plans for now." Su Xiaocai would not get involved. She would rather talk to each school one by one than deal with the Education Bureau.

The Education Bureau has too many restrictions, and cooperation is as troublesome as making a new game.

"That's a pity." People don't care about the olive branch. As long as Su Xiaocai shows a little interest, they can make some connections. It doesn't matter whether it succeeds or not.
Just owe the favor.

In novels, things like slapping people in the face at banquets happen all the time, but in reality, there aren't that many bad things happening.

Usually, two people who are not in harmony will only make a few sarcastic remarks to each other and use sharp language, but they will not deliberately make themselves the focus and cause people to laugh at them.

Others are more focused on building relationships and discussing cooperation.

Su Xiaocai chatted for a while, then sat down at the lounge table prepared for guests and ordered food directly from the electronic menu because she was hungry.

We ordered three kinds in total: French fries, grilled steak and fruit salad, all for ten people.

When the waiter brought the food, he asked again if she was eating alone.

Su Xiaocai, who gradually disappeared from the crowd, attracted a lot of attention again, and the reporters took several photos of her.

Anyone who sees this will be confused. They eat so much that if you don’t know, you would think there is a big eating competition here.

Yu Haiming, who was being carried around to identify people, occasionally glanced at Su Xiaocai in the corner and was deeply impressed by her calmness.

I felt a bit greasy after eating Su Xiaocai. The French fries were butter and cheese flavored, and the steak was also fried in butter. I drank several sips of lemon water, but the greasy feeling couldn't be overcome.

She is not suitable for eating out. It is a challenge for her appetite, like opening a blind box, but she cannot waste food.

After wiping my mouth with a napkin, it was time for donations.

Wu Qingqing also had an electronic card in her hand, which she used to raise her hand to bid.

"Master, do you want to try it too? It's very exciting."

Su Xiaocai was not in a good mood when she thought that her painting would be among them. "Let's play again next time when we encounter a bigger one."

Hu Ping took the cards from Wu Qingqing's hand and said, "If you don't play, I will."

Wu Feiyang looked at Hu Ping disapprovingly, "Don't bully Cai Cai and my cousin."

Hu Ping: "Tui, they are the only ones who bully me."

The first few auction items were several artworks from Luo Yun’s collection, and they were sold at high prices.

Then came the birthday gifts that the guests gave to Luo Yun, which included a painting by Su Xiaocai.

I saw my paintings being bid for by several unfamiliar “successful people”.

In the end, Wu Zhaoxiang took the photo back, and Su Xiaocai looked even more embarrassed.

I doubt whether there is some kind of tacit understanding between these businessmen, or whether they have rehearsed it privately.

Next are master-grade porcelain vases, antique paintings, and some vintage collectible mechas.

The bids were all quite high. The most expensive one was a piece of green jadeite raw stone that had been completely cut into a plate, revealing the unique warm and precious light of jade.

Beautiful minerals that are natural, rare and free of impurities are not cheap, and only Mr. Hu, who is rich in mineral resources and has a lot of money, would give them out as birthday gifts.

Finally, those who did not take any photos will donate, and after all the donations are made, the donation amount will be announced.

After waiting all night, the auction donations finally ended.

Su Xiaocai stretched her neck. This banquet was not as good as the half-hour snack of melon seeds in the VIP room. It was so boring.

As they were about to go back, the two movie stars who had ridiculed Su Xiaocai in front of the red carpet finally found their chance, approached her quickly, and bowed their heads to apologize to Su Xiaocai.

"I'm sorry, Miss Su. It was our fault on the red carpet just now."

If they didn't come to apologize, Su Xiaocai would have forgotten about them. "No need to apologize specifically. I already hit back at you at that time."

"You really don't blame us?" You won't be retaliated against afterwards, right?
"Are you afraid that I might say one thing in public and do another behind your back? Have you ever met such a person?" Su Xiaocai joked.

The two female movie stars were in a dilemma.

Su Xiaocai: "Is there really someone like this? Who is it? Let's add each other's contact accounts. I love to hear gossip about the entertainment industry. I promise not to tell anyone. If I tell anyone, I will never make any money in my life."

As the story unfolds, they were molested several times throughout the night before they reluctantly added the boss's contact number.

It was such a surprise that Su Xiaocai was willing to add their contact number.

Both actresses are small-time actresses on the 18th line. One is named Fei'er and the other is named Luo Min.

Fei'er is the actress who can't help but complain about Su Xiaocai's skirt. She is twenty years old, very young. After adding Su Xiaocai's contact number, she asked Su Xiaocai if she really wanted to hear gossip.

"Yes, as long as you don't deliberately belittle someone, hearsay is fine. Tell me one first." Su Xiaocai looked kind, but the contact number had not been officially added.

The two actresses were not coy.

Fei'er whispered in Su Xiaocai's ear: "I have a sister who said something bad about the daughter of the Xue family at a banquet. Three days later, she was gone. Isn't this news explosive?"

Speaking of this, Fei'er was still frightened. She thought that the younger generations of the wealthy families were all friends with each other, so Su Xiaocai wouldn't also know Xue Huiyi.

Fei'er really dares to say that.

What Su Xiaocai didn't know was that Fei'er was determined to go all out. She wanted to be the boss and to curry favor with others.

Then the quality of the thigh is very important.

Sometimes it is better to have more rich women friends than to seduce men.

Su Xiaocai said, "I love to hear your story. I'm not from the wealthy circle, so don't worry that I will collude with others to harm you. I just like your personality of speaking your mind."

The two actresses quietly high-fived.

The banquet was over and Wu Qingqing had just gone to see the guests off. Seeing that Su Xiaocai had not left yet, she came over and asked if she needed someone to take her home.

"No need, I have a company driver." Su Xiaocai asked the two actresses if they had a car to pick them up, "If you are not worried that I will kidnap you, just take my car back."

The two actresses were eager to have it.

Wu Qingqing: "See you at school."

Su Xiaocai: "Well, see you at school."
