"Tao Mu, you actually came to see me!" In the ward, Luo Yang was lying on the bed playing video games boredly. His legs were broken by the old man in his family, and his friends were afraid of the old man's majesty and dared not visit him. It made him so bored.
"As expected, you are really nice. My brothers are afraid that my father will vent his anger on them, so they dare not come to see me." Luo Yang complained while motioning the nurse to help him rock the bed, and asked Tao Mu excitedly: "Do you want to eat fruit? I'll ask the nurse to peel an apple for you."
"I don't want to eat." Tao Mu smiled warmly, glanced around the ward, walked to the TV cabinet, put down the fruit basket, picked up a glass vase, and put the calla lily he bought in it. Asked Luo Yang: "Didn't I teach you how to say it? Why did you still get beaten?"
"Hey, don't mention it." Luo Yang waved his hands, admitting his bad luck: "The old man in my family is a retired soldier, and he is a very serious person. He hates this kind of thing the most. Fortunately, I said it the way you taught me. If I had said it differently, my old man would not have broken my leg."
"Not only that, he also took his anger out on all the friends I often hang out with. He told me at home that if I dare to hang out with them again, he would cut off my pocket money and kick me out to Europe to fend for myself." Luo Yang shook his head with a sigh: "Do you think this is my real dad?"
"Just be content." Tao Mu looked at Luo Yang's leg in a plaster cast and was in a particularly good mood: "I heard that your old man has a bad heart. Fortunately, he didn't get sick after listening to your story. Otherwise, you would be guilty of a great sin."
"I think he's in good health!" Luo Yang snorted and rolled his eyes at the ceiling. "He was full of energy when he scolded me, and he was very agile when he hit me. He could eat two bowls of rice in one meal, and he was very fast when he led the company's employees to climb the mountain. He ran straight to the top of the mountain without even taking a breath. I think even young men in their twenties can't compare to him. He doesn't look like a middle-aged or elderly patient with heart disease at all."
"——That's all because of your mother's good service!" Luo Yang's complaint was suddenly interrupted by a loud scolding: "You are still not happy. Do you really want to piss off your father to death?"
Luo Yang was so frightened that he shivered, and his aura immediately dropped from idiot to cowardly: "Dad, why did you come here? You look so tired from beating me, just rest at home. You don't have to come to see me."
"If I hadn't come to see, I wouldn't know how you were plotting against your father behind his back!" The old man of the Luo family snorted and walked into the ward with his hands behind his back. He looked very brisk.
Luo Xi, who was one step behind, supported Madam Luo and nodded with a smile when he passed by Tao Mu.
Mr. Luo's tiger eyes fell on Tao Mu, and his thick eyebrows raised: "Who are you?"
"Hello, Mr. Luo, I'm Tao Mu."
Luo Yang was afraid that Mr. Luo would be angry with Tao Mu without knowing the details, so he quickly said, "Dad, he is not the bad friend you think he is. Tao Mu is Li Xiaoheng's personal investment consultant, and the two are working together to short international crude oil. He usually doesn't like to pay attention to me, and this time he came to see me because he heard that my leg was broken by you, old man."
Of course, Mr. Luo knew Li Xiaoheng's abilities. He also heard about the news that Xiaoheng Capital recently shorted oil in the international market and it was said that it made a lot of money. Tao Mu is able to serve as Li Xiaoheng's personal investment consultant, and he is also capable of partnering with Li Xiaoheng to short oil. It seems that the young man is also very promising.
Mr. Luo's expression eased a lot. He nodded at Tao Mu, then frowned and taught Luo Yang a lesson: "You should usually spend more time with such outstanding young people. Learn how they behave and do things. In the future, pay less attention to your friends. You are a person who is not in tune with the world. You are even more out of shape after being dragged down by those monsters!"
Luo Yang rolled his eyes helplessly and interrupted the old man's lecture impatiently: "Alright, alright, I get it. You always say that my friends are not decent, but aren't their parents your business partners? I just want to build a good relationship with them so that I can do things more smoothly in the future. This is all for work!"
Luo Yang absorbed the essence of what Tao Mu taught him. Now when Mr. Luo criticized his gang of bad friends, he would bring out these words to evade the old man.
Sure enough, when Mr. Luo heard what Luo Yang said, although he was still dissatisfied, his expression softened a lot: "You don't know how to work hard on serious things, but you like to delve into these unorthodox ways. Among those people you make friends with, how many are the heirs valued by your family? Most of them are playboys who rely on their family background to do whatever they want. I'm afraid that they will be more stupid and useless than successful in the company in the future, and can only eat dividends. You learn from them. Sooner or later one day-"
"Oh, alright, alright." Mrs. Luo interrupted her husband's scolding and soothed him softly, "Yangyang is also doing this for the good of the company. He is young and doesn't know much, so you should teach him. How can you scold him all the time? Besides, you've broken his legs now. Will he dare to fool around with those friends in the future?"
"Birds of a feather flock together." Old Master Luo snorted, "Just listen to his nonsense. If he really wants to be successful, why doesn't he learn from Li Xiaoheng? Logically speaking, the Li family and our family have been friends for generations, and he and Li Xiaoheng grew up together. When this kid went to study in Country M, I sent him to California so that Xiaoheng could take better care of him. As a result, Xiaoheng founded Xiaoheng Capital in his sophomore year. As for him, he would go to Hollywood to pick up female stars whenever he had nothing to do, and get drunk and race cars with those little bastards who also went abroad to study. He spent my money to study in Country M for four years, and now he can't understand what others say in English--"
Old Man Luo became angrier and angrier as he spoke. He hit Luo Yang's leg wrapped in plaster with a slap, causing Luo Yang to scream, "Mom, mom, please stop my dad. This leg is already broken. If you hit him again, it will become useless. Your son will become lame."
"Oh, Old Luo!" Mrs. Luo helplessly dragged Father Luo to sit on the sofa farthest from the bed: "Calm down, I'll peel an apple for you."
Mrs. Luo said, and waved to her eldest daughter who hadn't said a word since entering the ward: "Luo Xi, come and peel an apple for your father."
Luo Xi smiled slightly, lowered his head and walked to the two elders, picked up the fruit knife and apple, and slowly began to peel them.
Tao Mu looked at Luo Xi, who had no sense of existence since entering the ward, and thought about Luo Xi's vigorous and decisive work. I couldn't help but shook my head.
Mrs. Luo looked at Tao Mu who was standing next to the TV cabinet fiddling with flowers, and smiled and asked him to come over and sit down. By the way, I asked, "How did you two know each other? I've never heard Yangyang mention you before."
Mr. Luo continued to sneer at the side: "Your son has always been like this. He never mentions or thinks about friends who are ambitious, and all he does is hang out with those playboys all day long."
Tao Mu smiled warmly: "We met in H Town."
"Ah——" Luo Yang was afraid that Tao Mu would mention their relationship in H Town and provoke his father to beat him up again, so he quickly interrupted Tao Mu and took over: "Tao Mu is an actor, and now he is studying at Beijing Film Academy. He went to H Town for training and acted as a martial arts substitute in various crews. We met by chance. By the way, Tao Mu's cooking is delicious. Let him cook for you some other day."
"Nonsense!" Mrs. Luo glared at her beloved son: "How can you talk like that?"
Then, he looked at Tao Mu with a smile and said, "My son is ignorant, don't take it to heart. He didn't mean that."
Tao Mu smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I know Luo Yang's temper." He never thinks before doing anything!
"Are you studying acting?" Due to certain industry prejudices, Mr. Luo felt uncomfortable when he heard about this profession. If it weren't for Li Xiaoheng's influence, the word "actor" would probably have come out of his mouth.
"Since you are Xiao Heng's personal investment consultant and can do business with him, you must have a talent for business. In this case, why don't you study business so that you can be your own boss in the future. You will have a higher status in society and can help more people solve their employment problems." Learning acting to become an actor is ultimately just a way to entertain people and exchange sex for money, which will not last long.
Luo Xi frowned and couldn't help but defend Tao Mu, "Dad, Tao Mu is pretty good. Not only did he do business with Li Xiaoheng, he also founded Feixun.com. The publicity plan for the National Day that I gave you before was planned by Tao Mu himself."
"Oh?" As a retired soldier, Father Luo had a natural liking for the publicity plan for the military uniform photo celebration. When he heard that this plan was actually made by Tao Mu, he couldn't help but smile and said, "The young man is really good. He has a smart mind and many ideas. From what Yangyang said, you are a stuntman, which means you know martial arts. This is a combination of civil and military skills."
Tao Mu smiled: "Mr. Luo, thank you for the compliment."
"Don't always call me Mr. Luo." Father Luo waved his hand: "You are a few years younger than Yangyang, so just call me uncle."
He added, "Since you are Yangyang's good friend, you can take Yangyang with you when you do business with Xiaoheng. I have spoiled this kid since he was young. He is too playful. I feel more at ease if you take care of him."
Tao Mu smiled modestly and low-key, and did not respond.
Mr. Luo didn't care. He is a businessman himself, so he naturally knows the temperament of a businessman. If there is no benefit, who would give you a share for no reason? His own son was useless, and he couldn't force Li Xiaoheng and Tao Mu to hold Luo Yang. However, as long as there are more exchanges of interests, the relationship between friends will naturally become closer.
"I know that your Feixun.com was established not long ago, and you want to use the popularity of celebrities for publicity. Since you are Yangyang's friend, you are also my junior. If you need anything, you can tell Luo Xi directly. Luo Xi is my eldest daughter and the person in charge of Longteng Entertainment. She can help you." Grandpa Luo said, pointing to his eldest daughter.
Luo Xi nodded at Tao Mu and said, "Dad, don't worry. Mr. Tao and I have already cooperated. We will cooperate well."
"Dad still trusts your abilities. I'm just worried that you're too businesslike." When Mr. Luo looked at Luo Xi, his expression became much kinder. Although he has a conservative personality and old-fashioned thinking, he always believes that daughters belong to other people's families, while sons belong to his own family. But he would not deny his daughter's talent and ability in business. So although he wanted to pass the group to his son, he also worked hard to cultivate his daughter, wanting Luo Xi to become the steward of the Luo Group and assist Luo Yang.
It’s a pity that the old man didn’t see clearly his eldest daughter’s rebellious character and she never wanted to be inferior to others, and he was too wishful thinking. In the end, she suffered a heart attack due to anger over Luo Yang's coming out, which led to the tragic incident of sibling rivalry and fratricide.
However, in this life, with Tao Mu's intervention, Mr. Luo was prepared. In addition, the Luo Group successfully passed the bidding for the land, and it did not affect the company's subsequent development. Even if Luo Yang were to come out for Shen Yu again in the future, Grandpa Luo would not be mad to death by Luo Yang.
"Tao Mu is Yangyang's good friend and also a junior in our family. You should also treat him as your younger brother and help him whenever you can. Don't bother about trivial matters." Father Luo patiently advised his eldest daughter, who always did things in a methodical manner and hated relatives using backdoors the most. Little did he know that Luo Xi and Tao Mu had secretly joined hands and had cooperated several times.
"Dad, don't worry. I know what to do." Luo Xi smiled and nodded at Tao Mu. Now that she has a clear path with the old man, she won't have to worry about using Longteng Entertainment to do Tao Mu a favor in the future.
Tao Mu smiled slightly, and admired Luo Xi's calculations.
After all, Mr. Luo is the chairman of the Luo Group. It is no exaggeration to say that he is busy with many things. So he couldn't stay in Luoyang for long. Although his baby son had a broken leg, he was still full of energy and alive and well. Mr. Luo finally felt relieved and left with Mrs. Luo and Luo Xi.
Tao Mu and Luo Yang were the only ones left in the ward.
Luo Yang looked at Tao Mu cautiously. He remembered how fiercely he had tortured Tao Mu when he was in H Town. It was probably very painful for Tao Mu to be sprayed with water by the water gun at that time: "Tao Mu, are you still angry with me? I asked the doctor, it is very easy to get into trouble when spraying people with a fire hose with the maximum pressure. You said why I was so messed up at that time. Otherwise, Tao Mu, you can beat me up to vent your anger. My dad broke one of my legs, or you can break my other leg. I will never cry out in pain."
"No need." Tao Mu talked for a long time and felt a little thirsty. He was using a fruit knife to peel an apple for himself. With lowered eyebrows, he stared at the sharp blade, watching the peel fall off in circles, revealing the fresh flesh: "I am not a person who easily gets angry."
He has so much to do and is too lazy to waste his energy on getting angry with people, which is a waste of emotions and does not help. If he had so many emotions, he might as well focus on playing a classic role. If he still had extra energy, he would do what he did today, taking advantage of every opportunity to ambush someone, taking revenge and doing his job at the same time.
As for being angry and not working, he is not that boring!
Of course Luo Yang didn't know what Tao Mu was thinking. Seeing that Tao Mu said he was not angry, he really believed that Tao Mu had never been angry with him. Or maybe she was angry at that time, but is no longer angry now - otherwise why would she come to see him with flowers and fruits?
"Tao Mu, you're so nice." Luo Yang smiled at Tao Mu: "Don't worry. I will definitely treat you very well in the future. To make up for the harm I did to you before."
Tao Mu played with the fruit knife and cut the apple into pieces. He looked expressionlessly at Luo Yang who was grinning foolishly on the hospital bed. After a while, he tilted his head and smiled.
That smile was full of love and compassion for the mentally retarded.
