After The Vicious Cannon Fodder Was Reborn

Growing up in an orphanage since he was a child, Tao Mu, who had suffered so much, never thought that his life was actually a result of picking up the wrong script.

Eighteen years ago, two ch...

Chapter 143

"…According to the survey, the top ten most effective temples in Hong Kong are Wong Tai Sin Temple, Man Mo Temple, Causeway Bay Tin Hau Temple, Tsz Wan Shan Guanyin Temple, and Bamboo Forest Monastery…"

Li Xiaoheng always pays attention to efficiency in his work. As soon as Tao Mu said that he wanted to burn incense and worship Buddha, Li Xiaoheng immediately sent people to inquire about the famous temples and Taoist temples in Xiangcheng, and even arranged for the driver and tour guide.

Thinking about exorcising evil spirits and ensuring safety, Tao Mu didn't even have the mind to train. He asked the instructor for a day off and took Li Xiaoheng to worship Buddha according to the route.

This was the first time in such a long time that Tao Mu asked for leave during training time. Everyone suddenly became curious about Li Xiaoheng's identity. The instructor on the subway still had no expression on his face. Even though his heart was full of comments, his face did not show it at all, and he approved Tao Mu's vacation rigidly.

Before leaving, Shen Yu came over, half crying, and asked Tao Mu if he was angry with him: "You have never asked for leave during training time before. Brother Yan and the two teachers are here to experience life today, but you have to ask for leave today. It must be because I made you angry, right?"

These words are simply too lame. Tao Mu was still thinking about the invisible and intangible aura of Shen Yu that always made him disappear without a sound and become less intelligent. He was anxious to burn incense to ward off evil spirits and was too lazy to pay attention to Shen Yu.

However, Li Xiaoheng looked at Shen Yu with a little curiosity. He still remembered the young master of the Shen family who had a unique way of thinking. Now it seems that this young master is not only confused in his mind, but also has a great ability to confuse right and wrong.

"What happened?" Li Xiaoheng looked down at Tao Mu, and keenly felt that the reason why his young consultant behaved abnormally was probably because of the influence of the person in front of him.

Tao Mu frowned, and subconsciously didn't want to mention Shen Yu in front of Li Xiaoheng: "It's okay."

"How can it be okay?" Shen Yu frowned and looked at Li Xiaoheng innocently: "Mumu got angry with Brother Yan because his fans scolded him. He also said that the idol should pay for the fans' behavior. I just think that Brother Yan doesn't need to apologize to Mumu for other people's mistakes. Then Mumu got angry with me again. Mr. Li, since you are Mumu's good friend, can you help me persuade him? Don't be so petty, okay? We are all colleagues and we will work together in the future. Why can't we be happy? Do we have to make the atmosphere so tense?"

At first glance, this sounds like nothing wrong. Even Wang Jinsheng and Luo Daming were confused after hearing what Shen Yu said. Intuitively, I believe Tao Mu is indeed a bit stingy. But deep down inside, I felt something was wrong.

The only one who had a clear idea was Li Xiaoheng: "I'm very curious, from what position does Mr. Shen say this?" With Li Xiaoheng's personality, he was originally too lazy to pay attention to Shen Yu. When faced with such mentally ill children, Li Xiaoheng's solution has always been to have a direct conversation with their guardians. But the situation is different now. Tao Mu will have to work with these people for a while. If possible, try to maintain harmonious relationships with colleagues. Therefore, Li Xiaoheng did not allow Shen Yu to sow discord and affect other people's views of Tao Mu.

Shen Yu said confidently: "Of course, as Mumu's friend. Although Mumu doesn't admit that I am his good friend. But I always feel that way."

"So Mr. Shen's way of treating his friends is to stand on the moral high ground and help another person accuse the friend you unilaterally identified?" Li Xiaoheng logically sorted out Shen Yu's behavior, and then asked Yan Sheng: "Mr. Yan's fans have been criticizing Tao Mu's acting skills online, and even made personal attacks on Tao Mu. Mr. Yan should have heard of this."

Li Xiaoheng used an affirmative sentence. Yan Sheng could only smile bitterly and said, "I have already apologized to President Tao in person for this."

"Why do you want to apologize to Tao Mu?" Li Xiaoheng asked back, getting to the point: "Tao Mu doesn't know you, and doesn't know your fans. If Mr. Yan thinks that the fans' behavior has nothing to do with the idol, then there is no need to apologize. If you admit that the idol pays for the fans' behavior, shouldn't the correct approach be to restrain your fans from making accusations everywhere?"

"So why do you want to apologize to Tao Mu?" Li Xiaoheng looked directly at Yan Sheng and asked in a deep voice, "What is your position to apologize?"

As expected of a fighter among domineering CEOs, Li Xiaoheng’s logic is very clear. In just a few words, the matter and the positions of all parties were straightened out.

A large group of people suddenly realized. Yes, no matter how Yan Sheng evaluates the fans' behavior, it is an established fact that his fans maliciously attacked Tao Mu when the two protagonists had not yet met. Tao Mu, who was innocently criticized, certainly had reason to hate Yan Sheng. As an idol who has a very high degree of control over his fans, Yan Sheng either ignores the behavior of his fans or strictly prohibits his fans from bitching about others. But his choice was to apologize to Tao Mu for no apparent reason - this was a bit too much.

Do you want Tao Mu to forgive you or not? If I don't forgive him, I'd be petty. If I forgive him, then Tao Mu would have been scolded for half a year for nothing? Yan Sheng will then push out a press release saying "The best actor apologized generously, President Tao shook hands and made peace" to hype it up. If they were Tao Mu, they would all be suffocated to death. What's more, the grudge between these two people is not limited to this matter.

Li Xiaoheng shifted his gaze to Shen Yu again: "Speaking of which, the reason why Tao Mu was scolded by Yan Sheng's fans was because of those messages from Mr. Shen that Yan Sheng's acting skills were not as good as Tao Mu's. How come, with the passage of time, everyone has forgotten Mr. Shen, the instigator. So Mr. Shen and Actor Yan have become good brothers?"

They didn't know about this melon king Jinsheng. After all, Feixun.com was only popular in mainland China at the beginning, and it has only been a short time since it spread to Hong Kong. Older actors like Wang Jinsheng and Luo Daming didn't even register an account on Feixun.com, so naturally they didn't pay attention to the past grievances between Shen Yu and Tao Mu.

But if what Li Xiaoheng said is true, then Shen Yu is definitely not an ordinary person. He stepped forward to sow discord, but ended up hugging Yan Sheng's thigh, and then turned around and stood with Yan Sheng to step on Tao Mu. This operation is a bit tricky.

Li Xiaoheng solved the problem clearly in just a few words. He nodded to the two veteran actors Wang Jinsheng and Luo Daming, and said politely: "This is our Tao Mu's first time acting in a movie, and we have no previous experience. I hope the two seniors can give us more guidance and care."

The principal of the police academy introduced Li Xiaoheng to everyone before, and everyone knew that Li Xiaoheng was the founder of Xiaoheng Capital. People in Hong Kong are very concerned about the financial situation. Everyone has heard the news that Xiaoheng Capital was frantically shorting the international market and made a lot of money. Faced with this level of capital, everyone naturally wants to make friends.

What's more, Tao Mu himself also has the potential to make friends. So Wang Jinsheng and Luo Daming just smiled at each other, nodded and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Li. The two of us old guys hit it off with Tao Mu right away. We all agreed to play mahjong after work."

The implication is that, even if we can't say support and care, at least there is some kindness.

Li Xiaoheng stopped there. He smiled very reservedly, and then left with Tao Mu.

Tao Mu, who hadn't said much from beginning to end, looked at Li Xiaoheng with a strange expression until he got in the car.

He has lived for two lifetimes and has become accustomed to taking the lead in everything. Even if someone is willing to help him, most of the time they can't say anything to the point, and instead the argument becomes more chaotic and he gets deeper and deeper into trouble. It was the first time that he had seen someone like Li Xiaoheng who could completely push the blame back to Shen Yu with just a few words and even directly break the bottom of the pot.

It feels... a little weird.

"What's wrong?" Noticing Tao Mu's gaze, Li Xiaoheng smiled gently and said, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"No, I just think your thinking is very clear." Tao Mu thought for a while, and added: "I didn't expect you to explain so much."

In Tao Mu's opinion, Li Xiaoheng should be the kind of person who disdains to explain.

Li Xiaoheng smiled when he heard this: "There is no other way. We have to make things clear. We can't let them wrongly accuse my Mumu."

When Li Xiaoheng said this, his expression suddenly changed, and he asked unhappily, "Do you have a nickname?"

"Ah?" Tao Mu didn't expect Li Xiaoheng to go off topic so easily, and he was still a little slow to react.

"It's a name that only my family can call me." Li Xiaoheng patiently guided: "For example, my parents call me Xiaoheng, what about you?"

Before Tao Mu could speak, Li Xiaoheng secretly held his hand and continued, "Actually, if possible, I hope we can have a name that only the other person can call us. For example..."

Li Xiaoheng leaned close to Tao Mu's ear and whispered two words. Tao Mu only felt the warm breath sprayed on his earlobe, and half of his body began to itch.

He scratched his ear and glanced at Li Xiaoheng unhappily: "I think it's good to call each other by our first names."

"Okay." Li Xiaoheng agreed very straightforwardly: "My dear, where do you want to go first? I heard that the most popular temple in Xiangcheng is the Wong Tai Sin Temple. How about we go there first?"

Tao Mu looked at Li Xiaoheng helplessly and could only compromise and said, "Then go."

It is worthy of being the most popular Taoist temple in Xiangcheng. When Tao Mu and Li Xiaoheng arrived at the place, there were a lot of pilgrims here. Because it was Saturday, many people even came with their families. According to legend, the "Wong Tai Sin" enshrined in the temple will respond to any request and is particularly effective. Moreover, this is the only Taoist temple in Xiangcheng that allows Taoist weddings.

"It's a blessing for marriage and it's a blessing for marriage. I think we've come to the right place." Li Xiaoheng said with a smile: "What do you want to ask for? I want to ask for marriage."

Li Xiaoheng's gaze was too intense, and Tao Mu couldn't ignore it even with his eyes closed. He could only say, "If you want something, burn incense sincerely. Why are you always looking at me?"

"Because I think it's better to ask you than to ask God." Li Xiaoheng smiled gently, looked at Tao Mu with tender eyes, and said warmly: "My marriage is in your hands. If you are willing to bless me to stay with the person I love most for the rest of my life, and grow old together. Then my faith is you."

Tao Mu respectfully inserted three incense sticks and bowed again, then he had the mind to talk to Li Xiaoheng: "Can you stop making trouble? Let's do business."

"I'm not making a fuss." Li Xiaoheng looked at Tao Mu with extremely gentle eyes and eyebrows: "I am very pious. Don't you have the confidence to bless me and the one I love to grow old together?"

Tao Mu's expression paused slightly.

Li Xiaoheng smiled and said, "If you don't have confidence in yourself, then trust me."

"I have."
