Chapter 909 Peach Blossom Demon Does Not Want to Sacrifice Herself for Others (6)
"But brother, if you like her, you have to pursue her yourself. Although I am an investor, I don't do things like forcing people or using unspoken rules. Otherwise, those old-fashioned people in my family won't let me off. Besides, Tao Shichu is not a soft persimmon. Although she is beautiful, she is not a person without temper. It's not that people have liked her before and wanted to force her, but she is very stubborn and refused to compromise. She even confronted people directly and refused to compromise even when being targeted. If she wasn't so beautiful, she might have retired..." Mu Tinghai told Duan Jiuwei everything he knew about Tao Shichu.
When Duan Jiuwei heard this, he felt that Tao Shichu's personality was more to his liking. If she was someone who easily compromised, he would look down on her.
"Oh, Jiuwei, don't blame me for not reminding you. Tao Shichu is a very picky woman. She will reject anyone she doesn't like without hesitation. Back then, I also had a crush on her and wanted to pursue her, but unfortunately, she said that she has high standards and that she wants a man to be at least 80% as good-looking as her. Damn it, which man would be lucky to be 80% as good-looking as her? Among the male stars in the entertainment industry, none of them meet her standards..." Mu Tinghai said with emotion and regret, "Obviously, I am also a handsome guy, alas, I just don't meet her eyes..."
Duan Jiuwei touched his face and suddenly felt lucky that his parents gave him a fairly good face. Just as he was about to speak, Mu Tinghai suddenly held his face, looked at him carefully, and said with surprise: "Hey, brother, your face seems to be able to meet Tao Shichu's standards, why don't you try it now?"
"Okay." Duan Jiuwei raised his eyebrows immediately, and his bright eyes flashed at Mu Tinghai, frightening Mu Tinghai so much that he quickly let go of his face and said, "Hey, don't flirt with me, I'm a straight man, your charm has no effect on me!"
Duan Jiuwei exposed his hypocrisy: "If it's useless, then why are you panicking?"
"I'm not panicking! What a joke! I've seen this face of yours since I was a child and I'm tired of seeing it. Only those young girls who are naive will be deceived by your face." Mu Tinghai said to Duan Jiuwei with disdain.
"Then take me to meet Tao Shichu and see if she will be deceived by my face." Duan Jiuwei urged.
After all, they were buddies who had grown up together. After they had quarreled with each other, Mu Tinghai still cared about his brother's feelings, so he took him to Tao Shichu.
"Ms. Tao, what a coincidence, why are you here alone? Where is your agent?" Mu Tinghai asked Tao Shichu with a smile.
Tao Shichu naturally knew him. As the investor of "Stabilizing the Mountains and Rivers", she had to give him face, so she smiled and replied, "My agent went over there to talk to other people. Hello, Mr. Mu."
"Hello. By the way, this is my good friend, the artist Duan Jiuwei. He just came back from abroad. He is good at oil painting and sculpture. If you are interested in this, you can talk to him." Mu Tinghai introduced Duan Jiuwei to Tao Shichu.
"Mr. Duan, nice to meet you." Tao Shichu smiled at him and stretched out his hand to shake hands with him.
Duan Jiuwei immediately reached out and held Tao Shichu's hand, saying, "Nice to meet you, Miss Tao. You are so beautiful, very suitable for painting. I wonder if you are interested in being my model?"
Mu Tinghai's eyes widened as he looked at his well-dressed brother. He couldn't believe that he invited a girl to be his model the first time he met her. Why did this sound a bit ambiguous and not serious? He was worried that Tao Shichu would change his attitude.
Tao Shichu's expression did not change, but she just smiled a little wider, and she pulled her hand free from his tight grip, and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint Mr. Duan, but I'm busy with work and don't have time to be your model. You should find someone else."
"It doesn't take too much time to be my model, and I can adjust my time for you." Duan Jiuwei's beautiful eyes looked at Tao Shichu steadily. Those deep and charming eyes had a deep affectionate light when looking at people, which could easily cause misunderstandings and ripples in people's hearts. He seemed to know this and deliberately released his charm to Tao Shichu.
Unfortunately, Tao Shichu's heart was as calm as water, and it was impossible for her to be fascinated by him like a little girl, so she shook her head and said, "No, how can I let Mr. Duan waste his time on me?"
"How can the time I spend with you be called a waste? It is my honor that Miss Tao is willing to do me the honor." Duan Jiuwei said sweet words to Tao Shichu without hesitation.
Actually, to be honest, Duan Jiuwei is really handsome, with a handsome face, tall stature, and charming temperament. If she were a little girl, her heart would surely beat wildly when she saw him smile, and she would immediately fall at his feet.
If Tao Shichu hadn't been busy with work, she would have been willing to have a casual romance with him like a female star and a male artist. After all, she was not the original owner, and she still cared about being betrayed by her lover more than a hundred years ago.
"Miss Tao, are you really unwilling to give me a chance?" Duan Jiuwei's charming eyes were filled with disappointment. When he looked at people, it would make people unable to refuse all his requests.
But this does not include Tao Shichu, who just smiled at him and did not speak. At this time, Mu Tinghai, as a good brother, hurried to smooth things over and said, "Hey, Jiuwei, don't be so anxious, you will scare Miss Tao. Miss Tao, don't be surprised, my brother has recognized you as soon as he saw you tonight. Don't get me wrong, he regards you as his muse. You know, artists all have some quirks. When they meet someone who can inspire them, they always want to catch them, but in fact he has no ill intentions, he just wants to be closer to you..."
"Tinghai is right, Miss Tao, you are my muse. As soon as I saw you, countless inspirations burst out in my mind. That's why I wanted to ask you to be my model. If I did something wrong just now and offended you, please forgive me." When Duan Jiuwei heard the excuse Mu Tinghai gave him, he immediately took advantage of the situation.
Tao Shi first saw them all saying this. As mature people, they would not deliberately embarrass others in such social occasions. So she smiled and said, "So that's how it is. Artists' inspirations are not limited to any occasion. I understand. Mr. Duan and Mr. Mu are too serious. I don't care."
"That's great. By the way, can you exchange contact information with us?" Mu Tinghai was willing to go through fire and water for his brother and even asked Tao Shichu for his contact information.
Mu Tinghai is the investor of "Ask the Mountains and Rivers", so Tao Shichu would naturally not fail to give him face, so she happily exchanged contact information with him. Duan Jiuwei relied on Mu Tinghai's relationship to "get" Tao Shichu's contact information.
