Chapter 013 Shadow of the Movie King (13)
Tao Xing was speechless. Your own son was killed by someone, so what reason can you talk about? However, he was also a little confused. He was afraid that he had no reason to be a master, so he had to understand it clearly first: "Chen Qi found me."
"Why do I want you to persuade me?"
Persuade? Tao Xing shook his head secretly: "First, tell me how you were recognized as a rich family?"
Tao Sen said: "Okay, I wanted to wait until it's resolved before telling you, but since he has come to you, I'll tell you. Speaking of which, although I have been wandering outside since I was a child, I really have a connection with the old man. When I was a child, I stayed in an orphanage, and the old man often went to do welfare. We have always been very good friends.
I thought he was a lonely widower with no children. He was kind to me when we were young, and I took care of him when I grew up. He lived in a small house in an old district at that time. I thought he was living in poverty, but later I found out that he missed the days when he started from scratch and was reluctant to leave the old house.
I went there often until you were in your teens. I just regretted not bringing you to see him. A few years ago, your mother was sick and needed money. I was so anxious that I had no choice. When he found out, he helped me pay a large sum of medical expenses. That’s when I learned that he was the chairman of the Chen Group.
But your mother still couldn't be rescued. I was in a bad mood after that, and knowing that he didn't need my care at all, I gradually lost contact with him. But at the beginning of this year, the director of the orphanage contacted me and said that Mr. Chen suddenly learned that his biological son was not dead and was very likely in my orphanage. Those of similar age had gone for a physical examination, and he asked me to go too. So... I went, and after the physical examination, it turned out to be such a coincidence that I was his biological son.
The old man was already seriously ill at this time, and he was so happy that he wanted to leave the group to me. Then, as you probably know, his adopted son Chen Qi disagreed. Chen Qi had been abroad for many years and only came back recently. After returning to China, he quickly took over the management of the group, but because most of the shares were with me, he could not exercise his authority in many areas. He wanted me to give up the company's shares, but I refused. He had come to me many times, and now the two sides are in a stalemate. "
It is clear now that even though Tao Sen was just adopted into a wealthy family, he had already fulfilled his responsibilities as a child by accident before that. On the contrary, the adopted son Chen Qi has not been around and has ignored his adoptive father for many years.
The Chen Group is managed by the old man himself, not Chen Qi.
That's fine. Even though I showed up unexpectedly, I didn't steal any credit from others.
Tao Xing stood up and said, "Let's go."
"Where are you going?"
"Chen Group."
Father Tao was startled: "I can't get in. Chen Qi won't let me in. What should I do in person? Should I argue with him face to face? I'm not free today. I have to go to work..."
Tao Xing stroked his eyebrows, hooked his father's shoulder and led him out: "Reasoning is only worthy of being told to gentlemen, it is useless to villains. The shares are with you, Chen Group is yours, and he is the one who has usurped the magpie's nest. There is no point in arguing, just kick him out."
Tao's father held the door frame and said, "Get out! No, no, how can you be so violent? Besides, they are so many and powerful. Who can we beat? Hey, son, you are a little strange today. How can you say the word "beat someone"? If you want to go, at least let me ask for leave from the company. Wait a minute, wait a minute, I'm in pajamas..."
Tao Xing said speechlessly: "They all want our lives. If it weren't for... good luck, I would have been thrown into the pond and drowned. You might also die in an accident soon. Why do you care about violence?"
"What do you mean by throwing it into the pond?" Tao's father was stunned. He thought for a few seconds and suddenly widened his eyes. "He..." His face changed and he rolled up his sleeves. "He dared to bully my son. Let's go and settle the score with him!" He was filled with righteous indignation and walked forward quickly.
Tao Xing: "... Um, Dad, aren't you wearing pajamas?"
"I can't control it anymore." Tao's father waved his hands.
Tao Xing smiled secretly, shook his head, and followed.
The two took a taxi to Chen Group. When they arrived at their destination, looking at the security guard at the door, Tao's father's anger was relieved a lot: "I... can't beat him."
Tao Xing took him forward and said, "Just follow me."
It was a sunny day with clear blue skies.
All the employees of Chen Group were dumbfounded.
They witnessed with their own eyes that two people, one in casual clothes and the other... in pajamas, started from the entrance of the group building, broke through layers of obstacles, defeated numerous obstacles, and broke into the board meeting.
During the journey, the man in pajamas looked at the young man with his mouth wide open more than once: "Why do you suddenly know how to fight?"
The young man replied: "There are martial arts instructors in the crew, I learned from them."
"Do modern idol dramas also need martial arts directors? You've only been there for a few days and you've already learned so much?"
"Well, that teacher is an unrivaled master."
"Well, why do I feel like you're a little different than before..."
There was nothing that could be done about it. The original owner was introverted, sensitive, and weak. Since Tao Xing came to beat him up, the original owner's personality could not be maintained. He said, "I was thrown into the pond, and the water got into my brain. The bacteria in the water affected my nerves."
"Oh my god, are you okay?"
"The doctor said he's fine, just a little bit of a change in personality, please bear with me."
"What are you talking about? Even if you become a fool, you are still my son."
“…”
Next, the young man kicked open the door, picked up their General Manager Chen and threw him out. General Manager Chen was furious and called everyone forward, and in the blink of an eye these people were also kicked out. For a moment, the whole place was filled with people, tables, chairs and documents flying everywhere.
Everyone on the board was horrified. They had experience in all kinds of business wars, but had never seen this kind of model.
Chen Qi and his companions were beaten so badly that they had no room for resistance. They begged for mercy again and again and confessed everything, which caused a commotion. The others turned against them and respectfully invited the man in pajamas to the position of president. Chen Qi and his cronies were driven out and left the group in disgrace.
In half a day, the Chen Group changed completely. Tao Sen became the chairman and president of Chen Group. He held a general meeting via video and met with employees.
The group's employees were all stunned when they saw the new president in his pajamas on the screen.
The president has changed, but the affairs of each department cannot be stopped. Every item needs to be reviewed. Tao Sen has only been sitting in the office for a while, and he is overwhelmed: "I used to be a middle-level manager in the company. Now I am asked to handle the affairs of the entire group. How can I do it? Son, come and help me."
Tao Xing walked around his desk a few times and coughed lightly: "I... I don't know how to do it either." If he had experience as a president, his account would not be empty.
Father Tao: "..." After a while, he sighed, "Oh, right, you haven't done it either."
Tao Xing: "Professionals should do professional things. You can ask someone to take care of it."
"That's true." Father Tao agreed, stretched his arms, looked out the window at the bustling city, then looked back at the luxurious office, feeling infinite emotion, "I have lived a dull life for half my life. When the old man recognized me, I never expected to have such a situation. Now it feels like a dream. Son, can you believe it? Your dad is now a big boss, and you are a rich young master. It's all thanks to you, son!"
Tao Xing suddenly had an idea: "Dad, are we rich now?"
"Of course, there's plenty of money." Tao's father slammed the table and said, "Son, don't go to the crew. If you're not short of money, you don't have to do any work."
Tao Xing shook her head: "We still have to go to the crew."
"Why go through that suffering? Just enjoy yourself..."
"I like acting." Tao Xing made an excuse.
"Well, if you're tired or bullied, just come back quickly. You don't need to worry about the food."
"Thank you." Tao Xing hooked his arm around his father's shoulder and got back to the point, "Dad, now that I have money, can you help me with something?"
"you say."
"Check someone, Jiang Lin."
"Do you need to look up the actor in your crew? You can find a lot of information about him online, including his birth date. But why do you need to look him up? Did he do anything to you?"
"No, I don't want the information that can be found online." Tao Xing lowered his voice, "Please find me a master who is good at Xuanmen."
The shadow has consciousness, can swallow people, becomes frightened at night, and becomes more violent when swallowing people... All these things cannot be unrelated to Jiang Lin. There must be something about him. If it cannot be seen on the surface, then we can use other ways to see it.
This idea came to Tao Xing after he checked Jiang Lin's information. However, there are too many charlatans on the Internet who are deceiving and deceiving people. If he wants to find someone with real skills, he has to spend money to go to famous temples, Taoist temples and other places to invite him.
The more famous they are, the more capable they are, and the harder it is to hire them, and the cost is relatively high. Tao Xing wanted to find one early on, but had no money, so he had to put it off.
Now that we have money, we can do this.
Tao's father paused for a moment before replying, "Why are you looking for a master? If he annoys you, just reason with him. If that doesn't work...then just beat him up openly. Don't do these crooked things."
"I didn't offend you. We are on good terms. Just help me find it."
"Hello..." Father Tao looked confused, "You are together, you are not going to cast a love spell on him, are you? Son, I tell you, if you like boys, then like them, I will not interfere with this, but if you want to have a relationship, do it properly, I will never allow this kind of behavior."
Tao Xing: "...I'm not good with him. I don't like him and I don't plan to have a relationship. If you find him, please contact me."
Are you kidding? He doesn't have time for romance. He can leave after completing the mission and go to the next world as soon as possible. Why should he stay here?
Although Chen's was taken back very quickly, there were still many things to do due to changes in the company and adjustments in various aspects, and he helped a lot here.
As for Chen Qi, Tao's father rose to power this time and had people collect all kinds of evidence of his crimes, no matter how big or small, and finally got the other party sentenced to death.
Several days had passed by the time Tao Xing had stabilized and returned to the crew.
He changed buses several times when he left, but it was a relaxing trip back home, as he was sent off by a luxury car. Tao Xing held a small lamp in her hand and looked at the tall buildings outside through the car window.
The small round milky white lamp in his hand was specially bought by him. The light is too strong to be seen during the day, but at night, there will be a bright light flickering, just like a group of fireflies.
Unlike the small lamp he bought online that day when he lured the shadow out, this one is a bionic lamp. Even though they both sparkle, this one is made completely to imitate the light of fireflies, and when it lights up, it is almost indistinguishable from a firefly.
This lamp was hard to find. Tao Xing searched for a long time but only found this one, which was a little damaged and he had to wait for the lamp maker to polish and repair it. But he finally bought it.
After taking a few days off, his role was pushed to the back, and time was tight when he came back. The director knew he would be back today and asked him to go directly to the set.
The car stopped at an intersection and the driver returned. Tao Xing walked up the path and arrived at the set. He glanced through the crowd and saw Aying.
It was staying obediently beside Jiang Lin, moving in the same direction as its owner. It was in "working" mode. In this mode, it could block the sense of touch and would not react even if stepped on.
Tao Xing coughed lightly, and the shadow suddenly stopped, no longer following its master. It stood there in a daze for a while, quickly broke away from its working state, then tilted its head and moved towards this side.
Tao Xing smiled.
The director and others turned around to say hello, and Xiao Yang ran straight up to him and asked about his well-being. He was particularly enthusiastic after not seeing him for a few days.
Jiang Lin was sitting under the shed. The assistant beside him was handing him ice water. He whispered, "I haven't seen him for a few days. He seems to have forgotten your warning."
Jiang Lin's eyes flashed: "What do you mean?"
"As soon as he came here, his eyes were fixed on you, and he looked at you with a smile on his face for a long time before moving away."
Jiang Lin was silent for a moment, then looked up and saw that Tao Xing's eyes were lowered. Although he couldn't see his expression clearly, it seemed that he was a little lost.
Why lost?
The actor didn't have time to think about it. He stood up, nodded symbolically, and walked in front of the camera to start filming his next scene.
There were many people at the scene, so Tao Xing couldn't talk to the shadow. He could only lower his eyes and look at it. The shadow could move under the crowd, but he couldn't, so he had to wait for it to come.
The shadows also flow slowly, moving gradually, constantly merging with the shadows of people coming and going and the shadows of mechanical equipment.
Crawling out from the shadow of a camera, the shadow poked its head out, and the forward movement suddenly stopped.
What's wrong? Tao Xing frowned slightly and watched the shadow pause and then quickly retreat.
The shadow flowed in another direction.
