"My family received the gift you sent. They are very happy. My dad also said that you can come to our house for dinner when you are free." In the bedroom on the second floor, Li Xiaoheng leaned against the head of the bed, looking at Tao Mu on the other end of the video affectionately, and said calmly.
Tao Mu didn't answer. His eyes wandered for a moment, and he deliberately changed the subject: "During dinner tonight, Dean Tao told me that she wanted to open a takeaway canteen that would deliver meals to nearby office buildings."
"I searched online and found that there are many platforms related to food, clothing, housing and transportation on the Internet. For example, group buying of takeout food delivery, online travel websites for booking train tickets, plane tickets, hotel rooms and scenic spot tickets, online car-hailing services... I think in the next few years, these Internet platforms that can facilitate the daily lives of netizens will definitely have great development potential. If Xiaoheng Capital wants to invest in the domestic IT industry, it might as well consider these companies."
Tao Mu said, and sent several online platforms that he remembered would be very popular in the next few years, and whose stock prices would soar after listing to Li Xiaoheng. Without blushing, he reminded him: "These are companies that I think have great potential after reading them. You can ask the venture capital department to do some relevant investigations. If there is no problem, you can talk about financing."
Li Xiaoheng raised his eyebrows: "Isn't Feixun.com the most active Internet platform in China? With Feixun.com's user base, if we develop related projects ourselves, wouldn't it be more profitable?"
"But Feixun.com doesn't have that many people." Tao Mu smiled and said, "And I don't have that much energy."
Tao Mu actually likes acting more, and he is willing to put more energy into it. If Tao Mu hadn't had such a miserable experience of being blacklisted by the entire network in his previous life, which left him with lingering fears and forced him to prepare for a rainy day and create his own voice channel, he wouldn't even bother to use Feixun.com and Danmu.com. Even the Feixun.com and Danmu.com, which he created himself, Tao Mu didn't even take a good look at. Now Tao Mu has already handed over the daily management and operation of Feixun.com and Danmu.com to his father Xiao Qi.
"As a boss, you only need to know how to assign people to the right positions and control the direction. You don't have to stay in the company every day." Li Xiaoheng knew Tao Mu's ideals and career plans very well, and said with a smile: "If you think these platforms have development potential, you don't have to consider injecting capital. Just buy them with the people and the team. You are responsible for giving the general business plan, and as for the specific project management, just leave it to the people below."
Tao Mu was slightly stunned. Only then did he remember that several platforms he remembered were just in their start-up stages. Of course, Li Xiaoheng had no idea how popular these platforms would become in later generations. Given Xiaoheng Capital's status and background in the investment community, it certainly doesn't bother to pay attention to such small projects. There was no need to be as troublesome as Tao Mu thought. Still talking about financing? The natural thing is to just acquire it directly. There is no need for Li Xiaoheng to even show up, just send a project manager to discuss it.
Tao Mu smiled in his heart and said, "Okay. In a few years, you can tell netizens all over the country that you have taken care of the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the entire Internet."
Li Xiaoheng didn't quite understand what was so funny about this sentence. He looked at Tao Mu who was laughing to himself for a while in the video, and said softly: "Let's go see the new house tomorrow?"
"Ah?" Tao Mu didn't react and was stunned.
"Didn't Uncle Yao buy you a new house? Let's go take a look at the house tomorrow, make an appointment with a designer to discuss the decoration plan, and then we'll go shopping at the building materials city and furniture city. How do you think?"
As if thinking of the beautiful days of living together in the future, Li Xiaoheng's expression became more gentle, and his voice became deeper and sexier: "I want to decorate the new house we will live in for the rest of our lives with you."
Ya even emphasized the pronunciation of the last two words. It seems like they are going to get married soon.
Tao Mu's face was slightly hot, and he couldn't help scratching his ears: "Do you have time? Aren't you still busy with the launch of the online shopping platform?"
"It doesn't matter if it's just one or two days. Besides, I've spent so much money hiring employees and senior management, they can't just wait for me to do everything."
Li Xiaoheng looked at Tao Mu with a gentle smile and softened his voice: "Let's go together tomorrow. Don't you want to see what the new house looks like?"
Of course I do!
Tao Mu felt so soft in his heart when he thought that he would have his own home soon.
"Then let's go together."
As a result, Tao Mu was woken up by Li Xiaoheng's phone call at six o'clock the next morning. It was August, and the sun was high in the sky even at six in the morning. Tao Mu closed the curtains tightly and originally wanted to have an early sleep.
Who would have thought that Li Xiaoheng actually drove across half of Yanjing City and waited at the entrance of the alley.
I don’t get up so early on weekdays!
"Are you sick?" Mr. Tao, who was in a bad mood after getting up, said bluntly, "Why are you here so early? Don't you sleep early? What time did you get up? Aren't you sleepy?"
Li Xiaoheng listened to their boss Tao's series of complaints on the phone and apologized gently: "It's all my fault... I was too excited... I really wanted to go see the new house with you... I didn't sleep all night last night... How about you sleep for a while and I'll wait for you outside?"
How could Tao Mu bear to let Li Xiaoheng sit in the car and wait for him to take a nap?
Naturally, he climbed out of bed in great pain, squinting his eyes while washing and getting dressed.
Mr. Song, who had come back from a walk a long time ago and made breakfast, looked at his precious grandson who had woken up early and couldn't help but laugh: "Why are you up? Didn't you say you wanted to have a good sleep? You woke up at noon and then woke up. Why don't you let me call you for breakfast?"
"Li Xiaoheng is here, waiting for me at the entrance of the alley!" Tao Mu sat at the dining table, drinking porridge and eating buns. The craftsmanship of their old man is absolutely impeccable.
Tao Mu finished his meal, and took out the thermos bucket to fill half a bucket of porridge, and stuffed ten buns and a few cold dishes into it. He smiled and said, "We are going to look at houses today. Can you come with us, old man?"
Song Daozhen was indeed quite interested in Tao Mu's new house. But he doesn't want to be a light bulb. Even though he is over 70 years old, he would not do such a thing that would cause him to be struck by lightning.
"I'm not going. It's so hot. This Yanjing city is as hot as a sauna. And I don't like to use air conditioning."
After politely refusing, he asked Tao Mu: "Will you come back to eat in the evening?"
"I don't know either." Tao Mu hurried out with the thermos bucket, and said as he walked, "Wait for me to call you."
Old Master Song stood on the steps, looking at the back of their brat as he strode forward, and smiled and shook his head. Slowly move into the kitchen. It was too hot that day, so he planned to make some cold cakes as a midnight snack for the little boy.
On the other side, Tao Mu walked to the entrance of the alley with a thermos bucket, and saw the Aston Martin parked quietly on the side of the street, but looking particularly arrogant.
The old neighbors passing by looked back repeatedly as if they were looking at something rare. Tao Mu walked to the car, bent his fingers and knocked on the window: "Boss, your takeaway is here."
Li Xiaoheng looked at Tao Mu, who was standing outside the car with a thermos bucket pretending to be a delivery boy. The key was Tao Mu's accent, which was quite authentic in Tangshan dialect.
"Authentic Song Ji product, made with royal chef skills. Please try it to see how salty it is." Tao Mu got in the car, stuffed the thermos bucket to Li Xiaoheng, and said, "Eat first, then drive after you finish eating."
Li Xiaoheng asked Tao Mu: "How do you know I didn't have breakfast?"
"I guessed." How could someone who was so excited that he didn't sleep all night remember to eat breakfast before going out?
Tao Mu asked Li Xiaoheng again: "Why don't you go in? The mung bean porridge and tofu skin buns made by my grandfather are delicious."
Li Xiaoheng lowered his head to eat breakfast, but smiled without saying a word. He wants to kidnap someone's grandson to live with him. It would be fine if the old man didn't see him, but he would definitely be in a bad mood when he saw him. So Li Xiaoheng planned to bring his parents to Songji one day to meet the old man, Liu Yao and Meng Qi. Tao Mu's family must know that the two of them were not living together without any status. It would also reassure Tao Mu's family.
"When can you come to my house for a quick meal?" After breakfast, Li Xiaoheng put the thermos on the back seat and discussed with Tao Mu, "I want to tell my family about our relationship. This way, when the house is renovated, we can live together legitimately."
Tao Mu was stunned when he heard this, and stared at Li Xiaoheng blankly.
Noticing Tao Mu's momentary panic, Li Xiaoheng patiently comforted him, "Don't be afraid. I think my family has almost guessed it. They have known about my sexual orientation for a long time. They were very happy when they received the gifts you bought for them yesterday. My father even took the initiative to invite you to dinner at home."
"They may think I'm your partner." Tao Mu pursed his lips. Suddenly he thought of his previous life, when he was with Zhuo Yan and had met Zhuo Yan's parents. Zhuo Yan's parents didn't know their relationship at first and were particularly polite to him. But after Zhuo Yan came out, his attitude changed drastically. Not only did she strongly oppose them being together, she also cursed him with very unpleasant words.
Although Tao Mu didn't want to mind, he still felt uncomfortable.
So in this life, when Tao Mu heard Li Xiaoheng mention visiting the Li family and confronting his family, he was scared from the bottom of his heart.
He didn't dare to see Li Xiaoheng's family, nor did he dare to listen to them scolding him. Tao Mu himself could bear it, but he was afraid that his father Yao, Xiao Qi's father and their old man would also feel bad. I don’t want anything unpleasant to happen when the two parents come into conflict.
"Well, it's good like this now." Tao Mu frowned and searched for an excuse: "After all, I'm an actor, and I don't want to make my private affairs so high-profile. Besides, your Li family is big and powerful, and they may not agree that you are really with a man. You don't want to make them sad, right?"
Li Xiaoheng wanted to say something, but seeing Tao Mu's alert look, he didn't say anything in the end.
The two of them walked in silence all the way to the new house.
Considering Tao Mu's future status as a big star, Liu Yao bought Tao Mu a new house in a newly built high-end residential area near Chaoyang Park. The greening and public facilities in the community are very good. Tao Mu's house is a 220-square-meter four-bedroom apartment on the seventh floor of Building 7, with a large French window as soon as you push the door. There is also a large terrace outside the window. The apartment is particularly good.
"…It can be equipped with a master bedroom, a guest bedroom, a study, and a cloakroom. The kitchen can be open-plan—"
"Make it a closed one." Tao Mu interrupted the designer's imagination and said, "We always cook with a fire in our house. If the kitchen is open, the fumes will drift into the house. After a long time, it will not be practical at all."
"Okay." The designer was a top domestic designer who was specially transferred by Li Xiaoheng from Fengxing Group's real estate company. However, Li Xiaoheng did not give the designers much freedom to demonstrate their abilities. Instead, he ordered the designer to make the design strictly according to Tao Mu's ideas.
The designer was also very curious about the relationship between Li Xiaoheng and Tao Mu - they were so close that they could discuss the decoration of the new house together. But he knew the rules of the workplace very well after all: don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't look at what you shouldn't look at, and don't say what you shouldn't say.
Especially in front of his boss. Don't appear too gossipy.
Tao Mu explained his needs and ideas to the designer one by one, and Li Xiaoheng said: "I will personally choose the building materials and furniture decorations with President Tao. You are more familiar with this area, so give us a plan and we will go and see it ourselves."
The designer nodded obediently, holding his notebook and said, "I will write a report when I get back and send it to Mr. Tao's email."
"Send me a copy too." Li Xiaoheng boasted unscrupulously, "President Tao will discuss the decoration plan with me."
The designer blinked and agreed with a smile. Then he pushed up his glasses and said calmly, "Chairman Li knows that I want to design a new house for Mr. Tao, and he has personally instructed that the design and decoration fees for this order will be waived. This is to celebrate Mr. Tao's new home."
When these words came out, Tao Mu was shocked.
The author has something to say:
Small theater——
Chairman Li: It’s an established rule that one family provides the house and the other provides the car and decoration. I actually want to move out of the house!
