That night, Tao Mu played with the big names until after twelve o'clock.
Their boss Li came to pick them up.
Although the scandal between Tao Mu and Li Xiaoheng was not reported by the media, it had always been a tacit knowledge among the upper class of Xiangcheng. The entertainment industry has a deep or shallow connection with the upper class. Everyone has heard of explosive gossip like this, especially when it happens right under their noses.
When Li Xiaoheng came over, he didn't think too much. He was just worried that Tao Mu drank too much and couldn't get a taxi. So I drove over to pick him up myself.
When he entered the private room, he greeted everyone warmly, and then sat next to Tao Mu.
Tao Mu noticed the takeaway box in Li Xiaoheng's hand and sniffed: "What?"
"Roasted grass jelly. Didn't you say you wanted to eat it when you sent the message before?" Li Xiaoheng handed the roasted grass jelly to Tao Mu. He nodded to the others and explained with a smile, "I asked my assistant to buy a few more copies, and they will be delivered soon."
Perhaps they didn't expect that a capital tycoon worth nearly 100 billion dollars could be so approachable and down to earth. The entertainment industry bosses nodded in surprise. Fang Ruoti smiled and said, "Boss Li is so considerate."
Li Xiaoheng smiled and said, "It's my duty."
All the big names suddenly had the illusion that their faces were covered with something.
There was another knock on the door of the private room. This time it was Assistant Jiang who came in carrying a dozen boxes of grass jelly takeout. They also distributed it to everyone with a special service spirit.
Zhou Yanqing took the takeaway, looked at the colorful ingredients inside, and smiled: "I didn't expect Tao Mu to like sweets."
In fact, there are many male celebrities who love sweets. However, most people have to strictly control their weight and don't dare to eat it. And if a man likes to eat sweets, it doesn't sound very manly. So many male celebrities obviously love sweets, but they don’t say it. Just a taste in private. It is rare to see a male artist like Tao Mu who attaches great importance to the desire for food and can eat sweets in front of everyone without any scruples.
But if you think about it carefully, Tao Mu is not a pure male artist. In terms of career achievements, Tao Mu is more like a domineering president who prefers acting. If the entertainment industry were to select the most unprofessional male artists, Tao Mu would definitely be on the list.
Zhou Yanqing sighed to himself, but unexpectedly Li Xiaoheng nodded seriously and agreed seriously: "Our boss Tao is quite picky about food. He even complained that the cake I made was not tasty."
When Tao Mu celebrated his birthday, Li Xiaoheng was busy running around. He not only communicated with the crew about the celebration process, brought Tao Mu's family to Xiangcheng for a reunion, selected a birthday gift for Tao Mu, but also personally made a birthday cake and sent it to the crew.
As a result, too much cream was added and the cake was too sweet. Also, it was Mr. Li’s first time making a birthday cake, and the latte art was particularly ugly. But Mr. Tao didn't dislike it at all. So he felt the need to clear his name: "I said it was delicious. It was you who thought it was unpalatable."
"But your expression didn't say that." Li Xiaoheng pointed out in a low voice: "Your expression that day clearly said that the cake was too sweet."
"I was smiling that day, okay?" As a professional actor, Tao Mu thought he was very good at facial expression management. And he was really happy that day, laughing like crazy the whole time.
"You were very happy that day. But you were forcing a smile when you were eating the cake." Li Xiaoheng was also very rude. She said directly, "I just don't like the way you coax me into saying it's delicious even though you clearly think it's not tasty. How can my cooking skills improve if you keep fooling me like this? If my cooking skills don't improve, won't you be the one who suffers in the end?"
"You are being irresponsible to yourself."
"Mr. Tao, I think the most important thing for both parties to maintain a long-term cooperative relationship is to be honest with each other. The cultivation of tacit understanding does not mean tolerating each other's shortcomings blindly. It means to point out the shortcomings of the other party directly at the right time and help the other party correct them as soon as possible. Mutual tolerance and mutual adjustment do not mean torturing each other. If there is something that can be corrected in a few words, there is no need to waste our patience. Our tolerance should be kept in a more core area."
After a pause, Li Xiaoheng added: "For example, if I accidentally make you angry one day, you should think about how we have always lived happily, so you tolerate my small mistakes. Instead of thinking about how you tolerated so many trivial things in order to be with me, and then become even angrier and more aggrieved."
Li Xiaoheng believes that a person's energy and tolerance are limited. Just like the law of conservation of energy. Spending a little on trivial matters means the accumulation of a little more. If we allow negative emotions to continue to accumulate, if they explode one day due to being overwhelmed, it is very likely to cause a qualitative change.
So tolerance must never be consumed in daily life.
In Li Xiaoheng's imagination, his and Tao Mu's daily life should be like a piggy bank. Because we get along well, a little bit of happiness accumulates every day. When a quarrel really happens, you can take out some of the happiness in your piggy bank to offset the negative emotions caused by the quarrel. In this way, after the negative emotions are offset, the remaining balance of happiness is enough to support them for the rest of their lives.
But Tao Mu's habit is to treat daily life as a seasoning pot. Even if there was a little discord, Tao Mu always habitually chose to give in. Tao Mu wouldn't even say something as small as "the cake is sweet". Instead, I lied to him and said the cake was delicious.
Li Xiaoheng felt that this approach was Tao Mu sacrificing his own senses to tolerate him and accommodate him. Li Xiaoheng was very worried that if things continued like this, he would be spoiled by Tao Mu and would habitually think that Tao Mu should accommodate him and endure more for this relationship. By then, Tao Mu's seasoning jar will keep pouring out seasonings to spice up this relationship. The day when Tao Mu's seasoning jar is empty, perhaps that will be the end of their relationship.
"There is no way to manage money or short sell relationships. I can only use the most primitive means to increase my savings. I also think this kind of investment will be very hard. But fortunately, if the partner is you, it doesn't matter if it's a little slower. As long as you work hard with me, it's fine."
Li Xiaoheng's mouth felt a little dry from what he had said, and he couldn't help but take another sip of wine. He felt that the most urgent task was to change Tao Mu's thinking. Let Tao Mu change the management philosophy of this relationship from loss-oriented to savings-oriented. After all, falling in love is always like the early stages of starting a business. You can’t buy suitable love insurance, nor can you find compensation of equal value. If things really go wrong, we'll just have to go our separate ways.
Li Xiaoheng can bear the risk of any project merger and reorganization, but he can never accept the consequences of parting ways with Tao Mu.
"Why are you so sentimental today?" Tao Mu looked at Li Xiaoheng suspiciously while eating the grass jelly. I feel that Mr. Li from their family talks a little too much today.
"I saw the message you sent." Li Xiaoheng paused and added, "It was the one against Shen Yu."
Tao Mu raised his eyebrows: So!
"You never paid attention to him before. Now you don't want to put up with it anymore." Li Xiaoheng said this, slightly moving closer to Tao Mu, but still keeping a normal distance, and said with a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I think our President Tao's style of confronting people is very handsome and sexy. So I really want to see if our President Tao is as flexible and soft in his tongue when he is venomous to me?"
Li Xiaoheng almost spoke the last sentence in a whisper. The hot and humid breath sprayed on Tao Mu's ears. Tao Mu subconsciously looked at the other people in the box and said in a low voice with some restraint: "Don't make trouble, there are so many people here."
"Oh." Li Xiaoheng sat upright and proper. He concluded with a big tail swing: "In short, I hope we can be honest with each other, understand each other as deeply as possible, and tolerate each other, rather than staying on such superficial courtesy."
Tao Mu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Li Xiaoheng: "Excuse me, is Mr. Li's frankness and in-depth understanding a noun or a verb?"
How does it feel to be stared at with a half-smile in the standard almond-shaped eyes?
The narrow eyes were curved inwards and outwards, with the tails tilted upwards. The light in her eyes was so dazzling that President Li's heart was warmed. He changed from sitting upright to crossing his legs, and did not forget to act like a big shot: "Of course, I have to listen to you."
"Don't we listen to you in all matters of our family? From the company's investment direction and investment standards to what to eat in the evening, I never have the final say!"
fart!
Tao Mu rolled his eyes. Anyway, he never won the argument with Li Xiaoheng. Now even hooligans can’t be defeated.
Li Xiaoheng looked at Tao Mu's angry look and couldn't help but curl his lips. He unwrapped the spoon from the plastic bag and handed it to Tao Mu: "Want to eat?"
Starting to act like a spoiled brat again!
Tao Mu turned his head and looked at Li Xiaoheng. Li Xiaoheng held a spoon in one hand and held the grass jelly in the other, showing off: "I know you like taro, so I added an extra portion. Try it, is it delicious?"
Although the light in the box was very dim, and someone was singing and making noises, and the two of them deliberately lowered their voices when they spoke, not many people should have noticed their argument. However, Tao Mu quickly took the roasted grass jelly.
He is not used to being intimate in front of others. But even so, Tao Mu still responded very frankly: "It's delicious."
"Really?" Li Xiaoheng played with the beer bottle and smiled slightly: "Eat this bowl, I made it for you."
Tao Mu turned his head and looked at Li Xiaoheng.
In the dim light, Li Xiaoheng's outline became more handsome: "So you see, sometimes being a little serious can help me understand you better."
After saying this, Mr. Li took two sips of beer with an unsatisfied look on his face. Mr. Li finally had his first love at the age of 26, and he actually wanted to show off his love in front of everyone. But he also knew that Tao Mu was thin-skinned and didn't like to show off in front of others. So we can only stop while we are ahead.
However, no matter how low-key you are, you still have to show your sovereignty occasionally.
At least let everyone know. I am yours.
A group of big names were making eye contact in the dim box. Although the noise in the private room made it impossible for them to hear the conversation between Tao Mu and Li Xiaoheng clearly, when the two of them sat in the corner, even without any intimate contact, the aura they exuded was still sweet and pink.
Just like the grass jelly that Mr. Li brought over.
The author has something to say:
Small theater——
Li Xiaoheng was very satisfied: This wave of affection is really a steady show??ヽ(°▽°)ノ?~
Li Xiaoheng was satisfied:
