Tao Mu was quite satisfied with his non-physical performance. That evening, when he invited Li Xiaoheng out for dinner, he boasted, "…my classmates, including our teacher, thought I would interpret this exam question in the form of absurd comedy. I didn't expect that my performance was quite different from what they imagined. When I just finished the performance, there was no movement in the class. Some people even applauded me."
"Our teacher also said that I performed well today. The emotional rendering was quite good. It can be seen that I thought seriously and acted with my brain." Of course, there are still some details such as overdoing it, but these shortcomings cannot be forced, and they need to be improved slowly and with patience.
When Tao Mu said this, he was really happy. Li Xiaoheng could also see that Tao Mu really enjoyed his identity as an actor. When he spoke, his eyes sparkled and his face was filled with joy and excitement. He was like two completely different people compared to the way he usually talked about work.
Li Xiaoheng curled the corners of his mouth and handed the peeled shrimp to Tao Mu. In fact, Tao Mu often invited him to Song Ji for dinner recently. Because Tao Mu was learning how to cook dishes for the New Year ancestor worship, he always had the same few dishes every time he entertained guests. Li Xiaoheng was very satisfied and excited at the beginning, but as time went by - or to be more precise, he ate too much deer tendons, his body became hot and dry, and it was like taking a cold shower in the middle of winter. Repeating this over and over again will inevitably deplete your energy. After all this trouble, even the big guys can't hold it anymore. So when Tao Mu invited him to dinner again, Li Xiaoheng calmly said that he wanted to eat the food from a certain restaurant.
Tao Mu didn't know how miserable and entangled Li Xiaoheng was, and thought that Li Xiaoheng really wanted to eat outside food. As a result, when the two of them arrived at the restaurant, Li Xiaoheng hardly started eating while waiting for the dishes to be served. He spent half of the time peeling shrimps and crabs for him.
So much so that Tao Mu was particularly puzzled: "Didn't you say you wanted to eat this restaurant's food? Why don't you eat it?"
Tao Mu said as he picked up a piece of crab meat stew for Li Xiaoheng.
The two of them now have a lot of contact with each other because of work and personal relationships. The earlier politeness and restraint had long been worn away by repeated meetings and dinners. This can be seen from the fact that Tao Mu dared to order Li Xiaoheng without thinking at the dinner table -
"Brother Li, hand me the salt and pepper bottle next to you." Tao Mu took the salt and pepper bottle handed to him by Li Xiaoheng and poured some into his plate. He ordered a soft fried tenderloin, intending to eat it this way. Turns out the chef over-fried it and it was a bit overcooked. Tao Mu felt that it was not as smooth as what he made.
"Actually, my cooking tastes better, right?" Tao Mu looked up and begged for approval. He was still upset that Li Xiaoheng refused to eat the food he cooked: "You don't know how to enjoy yourself."
Li Xiaoheng smiled: "I admit that you cook better. But you always cook the same few dishes for me——"
"Tired of eating?" Tao Mu smiled and took over the conversation: "You can't blame me for this. I've been learning a few dishes recently. I'm waiting to worship my ancestors on New Year's Eve. How can I not practice well? Just overcome it, and after the first day of the new year, I can make something else for you."
"I'm not tired of it." Li Xiaoheng retorted very seriously. How could Li Xiaoheng get tired of Tao Mu cooking for him? "I just have a cold. I've been taking cold showers more frequently recently. Just take a short rest."
"Why do you want to take a cold shower?" Tao Mu was stunned for a moment before he reacted: "Eating deer tendons to replenish your body? Brother Li, you are good, you are full of energy, and you look like you have a good physique, right? I didn't feel anything after eating it."
Li Xiaoheng thought to himself, how many bites did you eat in total? On average, they would cook a pot of deer tendons every day. She would only take a few more bites to taste the saltiness, and the rest of the soup would be eaten up by Li Xiaoheng alone.
"You can actually give it to Da Mao and Xiao Pang. Feng Yuan also wants to eat it. And my father Yao and Xiao Qi's father, I think deer tendons are especially suitable for them." After Tao Mu laughed, he felt a little sorry for President Li who caught a cold from taking a cold shower. Speak.
Li Xiaoheng felt particularly helpless. He couldn't understand why their girl, Xiao Mu, who always said she liked men, had such a straightforward way of thinking. Everyone in Song Ji could see what he was thinking, and they didn't even come to compete with him for the dishes made by Tao Mu. Only the person involved is unaware.
Mr. Li was a little depressed, but he didn't dare to push too hard, for fear that Tao Mu would feel uncomfortable. But sometimes, if he doesn't push himself, he feels unwilling.
"Let me rest for a day, and I will continue to eat the dishes you cook tomorrow." Still not wanting to give Tao Mu's dishes to others, Mr. Li promised solemnly: "I'll just take a break."
Tao Mu laughed: "Then let's not do it. I caught a cold from eating deer tendons and taking a cold shower. I can't bear to tell others about this."
Li Xiaoheng looked at Tao Mu, who said he couldn't bear it but was actually smiling very happily, and he also curled the corners of his mouth. Suddenly asked: "By the way, how is your dance practice going?"
"Ah?" Tao Mu didn't react again. By the way, their President Li's thoughts are jumping around a bit now.
"Dancing in women's clothes." Li Xiaoheng looked like he was enjoying a good show, and reminded him with a gentle smile: "Didn't you say that yourself? If the number of registered users of Feixun.com exceeds 100 million, you can celebrate by dancing in women's clothes. I have been paying attention to the data of Feixun.com. Now the number of registered users should be more than 90 million. It is estimated that it will exceed 100 million before the New Year or the New Year."
It was like a bolt from the blue hitting you on the head. Tao Mu then remembered the message he had sent as a joke a few months ago.
The whole person was a little shaky.
"It can't be that fast!" Tao Mu subconsciously picked up his phone and checked the registered users of Feixun.com. Sure enough, it reached more than 95 million.
I estimate that in another half month, it will definitely reach 100 million. There was a hot comment on the front page of Feixun.com, with tens of millions of comments, all of which were from netizens who signed in and were looking forward to Tao Mu dancing in women's clothing.
Tao Mu retreated expressionlessly.
Li Xiaoheng looked at Tao Mu's expression and asked with interest: "What kind of dance are you going to dance? Street dance? International dance? Rumba? Tango? Belly dance? Folk dance? Classical dance?" It can't be pole dance, right?
"You seem particularly interested?" Tao Mu glanced at their CEO: "How about you watch me dance?"
Li Xiaoheng rubbed his chin and pondered: "What time?" He needed to arrange his itinerary in advance. Just set aside that day.
Tao Mu: "...I was just saying that." He hadn't even chosen a dance yet.
"You can think about it now, but why don't I help you think about it?" Li Xiaoheng was very interested: "Do you want to dance ballet?"
Tao Mu: "...You are really afraid that you can't kill me, right?"
Li Xiaoheng just smiled and said nothing.
Tao Mu suddenly felt that the two of them had a meal and didn't talk about anything serious: "... they were just wasting time talking about meaningless nonsense."
Tao Mu looked at his partner who looked very elite in his suit and tie, and said with a smile: "I read a financial report yesterday, which was the column of the famous beautiful host. It praised you, Mr. Li, very much. It said that you are the most anticipated business genius of this century, and that if I had the honor to have a meal with you, it would be worth at least five million. According to her, I wasted at least five million today. Does Mr. Li have any regrets about wasting his time?"
"I can still be ashamed of doing nothing!" President Li looked at Tao Mu: "You still pay attention to the beautiful host?"
"I'm following you. By the way, I saw the report about the beautiful host." Tao Mu corrected Li Xiaoheng's words with a smile. Seeing Li Xiaoheng's face suddenly change from cloudy to sunny, he came over and continued to tease: "Hey, Mr. Li, have you learned how to change your face?"
"..." Li Xiaoheng's heart was pounding because of Tao Mu's words. He continued to peel shrimp for Tao Mu in a bad mood: "Let's eat."
"Why do you want to bet on my mouth?" Tao Mu picked up the shrimp and dropped it innocently: "I'll chat with you while eating, so that I won't let my mouth down."
"Yes. The mouth is not only used for eating, but also for talking. With these two functions, you must not use either one. Otherwise it will be wasted." Li Xiaoheng followed Tao Mu's words and peeled another crab for Tao Mu.
The two of them were talking back and forth, and neither of them noticed that their conversation was actually very meaningless, boring, and had no IQ. On the contrary, I quite enjoy this atmosphere.
Affected by the atmosphere, Tao Mu answered without thinking: "Who said that the mouth only has two functions: eating and talking? There is also a third function——"
Before he finished speaking, Tao Mu suddenly felt that it would be a bit strange to continue talking. It was almost pinched.
However, Li Xiaoheng's bickering with Tao Mu has become a reflex. Hearing this, he continued, "That's right. The mouth does have a third function. Do you want to try it?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Li Xiaoheng felt like a duck with its neck strangled. Suddenly looked at Tao Mu.
Tao Mu was also stunned.
The room immediately became quiet. The atmosphere was a bit awkward. After a long while, Tao Mu cleared his throat and deliberately changed the subject: "Well, I've been paying attention to the international market recently. Especially the stock markets of M country and Europe. I think we can continue to short the banking and insurance industries. I also wrote a financial report. I sent it to your email."
Li Xiaoheng held the crab meat tightly in his hand. He stared at the crab roe and crab meat in the bowl for a long while, as if he was about to make an important decision to invest tens of billions of dollars. He slowly said, "I apologize for my rudeness just now."
"No need to be so serious——" Tao Mu silently breathed a sigh of relief and smiled awkwardly.
However, Li Xiaoheng's next sentence was a direct pass: "Xiao Mu, you said you like men?"
Tao Mu suddenly became a little nervous, no, it should be said that he was a little panicked and scratched his collar with his hand. He suddenly felt that the temperature in the private room was a bit high, and it was so stuffy that he couldn't breathe. My heart was pounding as if I was having a heart attack.
Li Xiaoheng turned his head and looked at Tao Mu with burning eyes: "I am 25 years old this year. I went to university in Country M. The academic pressure was very great."
Tao Mu: "???" What do you mean, how did the topic turn to this?
Li Xiaoheng continued, "...So I haven't had a romantic relationship in the past 25 years. The first person I fell in love with was you."
Tao Mu: "..."
Li Xiaoheng originally wanted to stay with Tao Mu as a partner and influence him subtly. However, just now, when Tao Mu casually mentioned the third function, Li Xiaoheng suddenly thought of the scene of Tao Mu kissing someone.
Li Xiaoheng suddenly didn't want to continue waiting silently. Or rather, I dare not wait any longer.
Li Xiaoheng believed that no one knew how outstanding Tao Mu was better than him. Their Tao Mu is handsome and talented, humorous, good-natured, kind and principled. Both his business talent and interpersonal skills are impeccable.
So, such an excellent Tao Mu must be liked by many people, right? Those people might be younger than him, or more handsome than him. The most important thing is, what if someone else confesses before him, and Tao Mu really agrees?
As soon as Li Xiaoheng imagined it, he felt so depressed that he couldn't breathe. He didn't want Tao Mu to fall in love with someone else, and he couldn't imagine if one day Tao Mu would hold hands and kiss with another man or even have a more intimate interaction. He will do something.
Li Xiaoheng held the crab pieces nervously, looking directly into Tao Mu's eyes: "Xiao Mu, can you give me a chance to formally pursue you?"
