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...
Chairman Li brought his family with him, and at the charity banquet, he acted like a half-family member, and greeted other guests in a proud and confident manner. It walked in a semicircle and accurately came to the table where Feixun.com was sitting. It set up camp there on the pretext that it was tired and needed to sit down and rest for a while.
On the Feixun.com side, in addition to the executive president Meng Qi and their family member Boss Liu, Mr. Song and Dean Tao, as the heads of the Song Huai Charity Fund and the Red Star Charity Education Fund, were also present. In addition, this table also had Yun Yi, the founder of Skynet Technology, and Chairman Long, who was brought over by Long Tianao.
Brother Li, who was temporarily suffering from camera phobia, was particularly considerate and moved the name tags of the other guests sitting at the same table to the table that Tao Mu arranged for them. This is to prevent the Li family from sitting here for too long and leaving the other guests with nowhere to sit. Chairman Long had long seen through the Li family's evil intentions. Although he envied the Li family's quick action, they were able to win over such a god of wealth in a lightning speed. But it won't cause any trouble.
Besides, those sitting at the Li family’s table are some of Yanjing’s top business tycoons. It wouldn't hurt for Chairman Long to have the opportunity to go over and make some friends. As for Yun Yi, it’s easier to talk to him.
However, when they learned that Yun Yi and Tao Mu were close friends and that Yun Yi was also Li Xiaoheng's partner, they got along very well. To express his apology, Second Brother Li was particularly considerate and took Yun Yi to meet several other business leaders. It also helped Yun Yi make a lot of connections.
On the other side, Chairman Li, who had finally met the meeting after much effort, also sat down and chatted with Mr. Song and others with peace of mind and satisfaction.
"This is such a coincidence." Chairman Li expressed his surprise in a perfunctory manner. He took the initiative to greet Mr. Song, Dean Tao, Liu Yao, and Meng Qi: "Every time I see news about Mr. Tao on the Internet or in newspapers, I feel very moved. Mr. Tao's family really taught him well. So I have always wanted to meet him in person and have a chat. I didn't expect to meet him by chance today. It shows that our two families are still very predestined."
This is really lying with open eyes. Li Xiaoheng couldn't bear to watch and sighed silently.
On Tao Mu's side, Mr. Song and Liu Yaomengqi also looked at each other. Dean Tao couldn't help but humbly said, "No, no, Xiao Mu is a good kid. He can get to where he is today because he has talent, ability and willingness to endure hardships. We, as elders, can't actually teach him anything."
Old Master Song also laughed and said, "That's right. I have lived most of my life in a muddle. It was Xiao Mu who helped me get revenge."
"You can't say that." Mrs. Li said with a smile, "You are too modest. We Chinese people believe in teaching by example. Without family members like you who taught him since childhood, Xiao Mu wouldn't be as lovable as he is now. So Old Li and I are very grateful to you for raising such a good child, so that Xiao Mu can become a partner with our Xiao Heng. Don't worry, Xiao Heng will definitely treat Xiao Mu well in the future and fulfill his duties as a partner. If Xiao Heng dares to bully Xiao Mu because of his age, we will all help Xiao Mu."
What was said was really...Mr. Song, Dean Tao, Liu Yao and Meng Qi looked at each other. We were just having a nice conversation, why did it become like we were meeting in-laws?
I don’t know how to respond.
The key point is that Li Xiaoheng made a solemn promise in front of everyone: "I will not bully Xiao Mu."
Mr. Song and Liu Yaomeng had no choice but to maintain an awkward but polite smile and look at Tao Mu who was standing aside without saying a word.
Tao Mu was so nervous that he was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, with the hair on the back of his neck standing up. He stared intently at every move of Chairman Li and Mrs. Li. Receiving the distress signal from his elders, he immediately said, "Boss Li, you are in serious trouble. I have enjoyed working with Boss Li very much. During the cooperation, Boss Li taught me a lot and took good care of me. He is a very nice person."
Someone helped to start the conversation. The two fathers and a grandfather breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Xiao Mu is right. We are still confident in Mr. Li's character. Being able to cooperate with him, we..."
Having said that, it's obviously still a bit awkward. Mr. Song swallowed hard, trying to find the right words without any ambiguity: "After all, we still trust Mr. Li's business ethics."
"That's good, that's good." Chairman Li and Mrs. Li also subconsciously agreed.
As soon as he finished speaking, the table suddenly became quiet. The two families stared at each other in silence for a long time. An awkward atmosphere gradually spread.
Li Xiaomei, who was always smart, was the first to come to her senses. He stood up with a smile and poured wine for the two elders who had just chatted until they were thirsty.
Chairman Li's eyes lit up, and he said in a dignified manner, "Pour some wine for Grandpa Song and Grandma Tao first."
"Grandpa Song, have a drink to moisten your throat." Li Xiaomei walked to Grandpa Song holding the bottle of wine and said with a sweet smile: "Grandpa Song, I watch programs on Feixun.com every day. The food program you recorded before made me so hungry. I think Brother Mu is really lucky. He grew up with you since he was a child, and he must have eaten a lot of delicious food."
Afterwards, he poured wine for Dean Tao: "Grandma Tao, you are so kind. When I look at you, I think of my own grandma. My grandma was so good to me. When I was a child, I fought with my brothers for the TV remote control, and my grandma always stood by me. Because I am the only girl in our family." So rare things are valuable.
The worthless boys of the Li family looked at their younger sister at the same time and were heartbroken again.
Next, without Chairman Li's instructions, Li Xiaomei poured wine for the two uncles Liu Yao and Meng Qi: "I have heard of the name of Ye Se for a long time, and I wanted to go there with my classmates before. But there are staff guarding the door of Ye Se, and minors are not allowed to enter. Uncle Yao, Uncle Xiao Qi, if I say your names next time, will they let me in?"
Liu Yao has always been a thick-skinned man. Hearing this, he just laughed and said, "Minors are not allowed to enter the bar. That's in compliance with relevant regulations. But you are Mr. Li's sister, so there will be no problem for you to come. Just give us a heads up in advance."
Meng Qi has always been worried that the Li family would not accept his identity. Seeing the performance of the Li family at this moment, I felt slightly relieved.
The charity gala was still going on, and as one of the organizers, Tao Mu and Li Xiaoheng could not withdraw for too long.
Mrs. Li waved her hand in a very considerate manner and said, "You guys go and do your own things. Our two elders had a good chat."
Mr. Song was also worried that Tao Muzhong would delay his work if he stayed here. Then he echoed, "Go ahead and get busy. Nothing will happen."
Tao Mu nodded, and went with Li Xiaoheng to receive other guests who came to the charity dinner.
Mrs. Li looked at the two children walking away together and said with real emotion, "These two children are really a perfect match."
Mr. Song hesitated for a moment. It didn’t matter when we hadn’t met before, but now that the parents of both sides have met. Mr. Song actually had a lot to say to the Li family. It’s just that there are so many people at the charity dinner that it’s hard to say many things.
"I wonder if you two have time to go to Songji and have a seat."
Chairman Li and Madam Li were moved, and immediately said with a smile: "Since the old man has invited us, we will respectfully obey your order."
On the other side, Li Xiaoheng looked at Tao Mu, who seemed calm but was actually holding his breath, and advised him gently, "Don't worry. My parents like your family very much. They are worried that you don't like our Li family, so they will try every means to win your approval. There will be no complications."
Tao Mu glanced at Li Xiaoheng: "Why didn't you tell me in advance?" He could be prepared.
Li Xiaoheng smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect my parents to be so anxious. But I can understand. At my age, I'm almost 30. No matter how nice people say, it can't cover up the fact that I'm an older bachelor."
"My parents are worried about my marriage. They were worried because I was too busy with work to date before. Now they know I have a boyfriend who is so young, capable, handsome, and likable, and even has fans lining up around the five rings. They are worried that we won't be together for long, and that you will dump me if you meet a guy or girl with a better personality or prettier appearance. In addition, my parents asked me to bring you home for dinner before, but you refused again and again. They are worried that I don't have the ability to bring you home and that you will end up alone in the future. So they have to take the initiative."
Li Xiaoheng said this and scratched Tao Mu's palm pitifully: "Do you also think I'm useless?"
"What are you doing!" Tao Mu subconsciously clenched his fists and looked around. Although the lights nearby were still dim, the camera kept running. Tao Mu was worried that others would see him: "We are working, please stop making trouble, okay?"
"Then give me a definite answer!" Li Xiaoheng said with great grievance, "You don't really dislike an old man like me who is boring and unromantic, do you?"
"That's enough!" Tao Mu rolled his eyes helplessly. He didn't say anything. This guy is addicted to playing, right? "There are so many dramas. Do you want me to arrange a role for you in "Fashion Storm"? "
Li Xiaoheng smiled and raised his eyebrows: "The overbearing president's little wife?"
Tao Bazong took a look at his wife, who was 1.87 meters tall, with broad shoulders, narrow waist, long legs, and eight-pack abs, and could only sigh helplessly: "Okay, okay, I will give you an explanation. I will be responsible for you. Can you let me go now?"
"You're so perfunctory." Li's wife let go of their big pig's hoof and couldn't help pinching the back of their boss Tao's neck: "Remember to be nice to me. I'm all yours."
Long Tianao, who had already arranged all the guests and came to inform Tao Mu that the charity party could officially begin, happened to hear this, and the expression on his face suddenly became indescribable.
I really didn't expect that Li Xiaoheng, such a majestic and handsome overbearing president, would be the one below.
President Li saw through Long Tianao's fantasy at a glance, but he was too lazy to explain. He looked at Tao Mu with a particularly sinister look. An expression that said "our Tao Mu is the boss".
President Tao was too lazy to pay attention to their increasingly dramatic President Li, and said to Long Tianao, "Tell the host that it's time to start."
At eight o'clock in the evening, the charity gala jointly organized by Feixun.com, Xiaoheng Capital, Longteng Entertainment and Xiaxing Entertainment officially began. The entire charity dinner will be broadcast live on Danmu.com. Therefore, the guest list and final charity fundraising information must be disclosed to the public. And after the charity dinner, the destination of all donations will be announced online.
Because the charity gala also invited top superstars from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong to be guest performers, many netizens, especially fans of various celebrities, paid attention to Danmu.com and watched the live broadcast of the banquet as soon as possible.
In Yan Ying's dormitory building, Shen Yu, who had been paying attention to Tao Mu's movements, also watched the live broadcast on his computer for a while. Seeing this, several other students in the same dormitory couldn't help but sigh: "So, I admire Tao Mu the most. He is not much older than us, and he is doing big things. When I can achieve what Tao Mu has now, I will be satisfied."
Gu Yuzhang, who had been studying hard, agreed: "Tao Mu is indeed amazing."
After hearing these words, Shen Yu, who had been watching with great interest, suddenly became a little bored. He turned off his computer and prepared to go out for a walk.
It was a cool autumn night and it was completely dark outside. Shen Yu had been to Yanjing before, but he was always accompanied by assistants and bodyguards whenever he traveled, so he didn't need to identify the direction himself. This time when Shen Yu went to Beijing, Shen Yan cut off both his agent and assistant. Only Shen Yu was left. I don’t dare to go out late at night. I can only go to the playground. Sitting under the starry sky feeling melancholy.
Suddenly, a surprised voice came from the side: "Shen Yu? Is it really you? Great, I actually met the real person. I know my hard work will not be in vain. I especially like your performance in "Purple Sky"."
Shen Yu turned around and looked at the boy who was dressed very simply and had a very simple temperament in the night, and asked suspiciously: "Are you... also a student of Yan Ying?"
"I'm not." The boy shook his head and said shyly, "My name is Cao Miao, and I'm your fan. I've been here for a long time. I just want to meet you. Can you give me an autograph?"
