Although Cao Ying put on makeup tonight, she couldn't hide her tiredness.
The two knew each other very early, and there was always an inexplicable relationship and feelings between them.
When he saw her, Tang Xiaobao actually felt a little distressed.
In the past, Cao Ying was just the eldest daughter of the Cao family and the most favored princess, but now she is more mature and more scheming.
It looks like she has grown up.
But this kind of growth makes those who truly understand her feel distressed.
People cannot refuse to grow, but the price of growth can sometimes be very high.
It often means betrayal by those closest to you.
Tang Xiaobao handed the menu to Cao Ying and said with a smile, "You order."
"good."
Cao Ying took the menu, marked a few dishes, and handed it to the waiter.
Then Tang Xiaobao poured her a cup of tea.
She took a sip and looked elsewhere, not at Tang Xiaobao.
The atmosphere in the box was a bit depressing.
After a while, all the dishes were served.
Tang Xiaobao was stunned.
These dishes are his favorite.
He felt slightly touched and said, "Would you like some wine?"
"Okay, white one."
"White, can you do it?" Tang Xiaobao laughed.
"OK."
"All right."
She ordered a bottle of Moutai and Tang Xiaobao poured her a cup that could hold two taels.
"Just drink this one glass, and the rest is on me," said Tang Xiaobao.
"No way, you're so stingy after treating me to a meal? You won't even let me drink the wine?" Cao Ying said with a smile.
Tang Xiaobao laughed out loud: "I'm addicted to alcohol too. I can't always give you the advantage. I'm paying for the meal, so I can't treat myself badly, right?"
Then the two looked at each other and smiled.
I know it all too well.
There is an atmosphere called warmth that spreads at this moment.
The two of them ate and drank, and after a while, Tang Xiaobao finally couldn't help but asked, "How have you been recently?"
"Very good."
"real?"
"real."
Tang Xiaobao put down his chopsticks, guzzled a glass of wine, burped, stared at Cao Ying across from him, and said, "Why are you doing this?"
"I don't know what you mean. What happened to you tonight?" Cao Ying looked at Tang Xiaobao with a confused expression.
Tang Xiaobao sighed, "I heard everything about you from Li Bai. I went to the company this morning."
For a moment, Cao Ying's expression changed, becoming somewhat gloomy, but she quickly regained her composure and even smiled, saying, "Do you think my current situation is difficult?"
Tang Xiaobao said, "Do we really need to keep secrets from each other like this? It's so boring."
"Then what?"
"Li Bai and I have discussed and decided to transfer the two pieces of land that you gave us last time to you at the original price. If you have any difficulties, we can help each other and we will be able to get through it." Tang Xiaobao said seriously.
Cao Ying's smile did not change, and her expression did not change at all, as if all this was within her expectations.
"Won't you all get into trouble too? Life is hard for everyone. Just hold on a little longer, and maybe it will pass."
Tang Xiaobao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Between us, I really don't like to tell lies. Let's put it this way, Shenlong Real Estate is gone, but Shenlong Group is still there. But if your company collapses, what will you have left? Will the Cao Group still be yours? Your plan will also fail completely."
Cao Ying's smile froze on her face. She took a sip of wine and quickly stuffed two bites of food into her mouth. The wine was too strong.
Putting down her chopsticks, she looked much more serious and said, "Xiao Jian came to see me this morning."
Tang Xiaobao's face changed.
"He's looking for you? First a stick, then a carrot?"
Cao Ying remained noncommittal. "He wants to buy out my shares in Cao's Real Estate. I personally hold 65% of the shares, which means I'm the absolute majority shareholder. It's not an exaggeration to say it's my personal property. The terms he's offering are very tempting. He's going to give me back the land I stole at 10% less than the original price, and he's also willing to pay a premium for my 30% stake."
Tang Xiaobao said in a deep voice: "He wants to take control of you."
"If I'm not mistaken, my uncle must have reached some kind of tacit understanding with him." Cao Ying sighed, "So-called family love can sometimes be so chilling."
Tang Xiaobao asked curiously: "Did you promise him?"
"you guess."
"Of course I didn't agree."
"Why are you so sure?" Cao Ying said with a half-smile.
Tang Xiaobao said, "Because I understand you. The relationship between us cannot be disrupted by others. We are best friends, aren't we?"
"Best friend?"
Cao Ying was still smiling, but she felt a little bitter inside. Just friends?
Well, she was still very relieved. At least she was touched by Tang Xiaobao's trust in her.
"Isn't it?" Tang Xiaobao asked.
"Yes." Cao Ying nodded.
"So, I want to help you." Tang Xiaobao leaned his head forward, just enough to see Cao Ying's collar, which was all white. Of course, no spring light was exposed.
But Tang Xiaobao was still a little distracted.
When he met Cao Ying, he had not yet made many confidantes. Even with Luo Ya, they had not yet confirmed their relationship, let alone held much hope. Cao Ying at that time left a deep impression on him.
After so long, that feeling still lingers.
Nothing has changed.
