Tao Ran had mixed feelings, "Ma'am...?"
Tony: "... I won't talk to you anymore, hum!"
After hanging up the phone, Tao Ran saw Bai Shaohui's car outside the set. It seems that they came to pick up Cui Xiao, Director Guan also saw it, and said disdainfully: "Actresses these days have messy private lives."
Tao Ran remained silent, Director Guan was quite a decent person, at least he hadn't seen any actress being touched by him in so many days. Being in this circle, he must have seen a lot. A young rookie with no background wants to be in the top position, what else can he do besides exchanging his young body? So Guan Dao just talked about it, so what else should be done.
The company didn't assign an assistant to Cui Xiao, and her manager didn't just take her alone. Cui Xiao came to get off work by himself by car. Tao Ran saw Bai Shaohui and Cui Xiao talking from afar, and Cui Xiao left without taking his car.
Bai Shaohui stood there helplessly, then walked to Tao Ran's side and said, "Let's go have a drink together."
Tao Ran smiled and agreed, "Okay."
Director Guan: "..."
It has long been heard that the current young rich second generation is playing too big. Has he finally got tired of playing with Cui Xiao and turned to Tao Ran? Director Guan admired Tao Ran quite a bit. He was afraid that Tao Ran would go astray, so he persuaded him, "Tao Ran, you should avoid dealing with these dudes, they have no good intentions."
Tao Ran didn't know what Guan Dao had thought up, so he said, "I know, Mr. Bai and I are friends."
The car that Bai Shaohui used to pick up Cui Xiao ended up carrying Tao Ran.
The car drove to a bar, Bai Shaohui said: "I've been here before, the boss can make a very special wine."
Tao Ran followed him out of the car. There were not many people in the bar at this time, and it was quite quiet. As soon as the two tall, handsome and handsome guys came in, they attracted everyone's attention. Bai Shaohui ordered two glasses of what he called a very special wine, and sat down with Tao Ran to chat.
Bai Shaohui said: "You and Xiaoxiao are high school classmates, what was she like at that time?"
Neither Tao Ran nor the original owner had any special impression of Tao Ran at that time. Tao Ran said: "It was quite normal at that time, I didn't notice it, I just remembered that she seemed to be very busy. She was late every morning and always left in a hurry after school."
Bai Shaohui showed distressed eyes, "I heard from Aunt Xiaoxiao that she has no father, and her mother has been sick all the time. She started working part-time when she was in middle school. She must have had a hard time at that time. If I could have known her a few years earlier Enough."
This paragraph is indeed mentioned in the novel. Originally, the male protagonist just thought that Cui Xiao was different and had a good impression of her. Later, after learning about Cui Xiao's family environment, she was moved by this strong girl, and gradually became unable to extricate herself from Cui Xiao.
Tao Ran took a sip of the wine, raised his eyebrows immediately and said, "Well, this wine tastes very special."
"That's right." Bai Shaohui said, "I knew you would like it."
Later, the two exchanged their experience of chasing girls. To be precise, it was Tao Ran who said it, and Bai Shaohui remembered it. After a drink, the two have become brothers. Tao Ran thought it was quite amusing, it turns out that this is what friendship between men looks like.
Bai Shaohui sent Tao Ran back, Tao Ran felt unsafe sitting in the car, "You drank, is this really okay?"
"What is this?" Bai Shaohui said to himself, "If I drink twice as much, I won't change my expression or my heart will beat."
Tao Ran was a little scared, because usually drunk people would not say that they were drunk. Tao Ran called Long Qiu in the car, "Hello, Mr. Long."
Long Qiu said: "What's the matter?"
"Oh, nothing." Tao Ran said with a smile, "I just wanted to ask if you were asleep."
"It's a good thing I didn't sleep, otherwise I would have been woken up by you." Long Qiu said casually, "I'm still in the company."
"Still at work so late..."
Bai Shaohui was driving the car, listening to Tao Ran and Long Qiu's phone call, with an aunt smile on his face. After Tao Ran hung up the phone, he said, "You have a good relationship with Mr. Long?"
Tao Ran: "We are friends."
"Oh, that's it." Bai Shaohui said: "Mr. Long is pretty good, you are beautiful and capable, and you are a well-known goddess of ice and snow in the circle."
Tao Ran's heart was ringing with alarm bells, what do you mean? Bai Shaohui is also interested in Long Qiu? He immediately said: "What do you mean? Don't you already have Cui Xiao?"
"Hahahaha..." Bai Shaohui was about to die of laughter from Tao Ran, he shook his head and said, "Why are you so sensitive? You still don't admit that you like Long Qiu?"
Just as Tao Ran wanted to defend himself, he suddenly remembered that he and Bai Shaohui were already friends. As the saying goes, a friend's wife should not be bullied, so Bai Shaohui would not be so shameless as to seduce his friend's sweetheart. So he said: "Yes, I really like our Long Boss, you must not hook up with her."
"Hahaha... young people are fun." Bai Shaohui said: "I have Xiaoxiao, and no one wants to."
Tao Ran: "Even if you don't have Xiaoxiao, you can't think about Long Qiu."
Bai Shaohui is twenty-eight years old this year, seven years older than Tao Ran. He thinks that a young man like Tao Ran who just graduated is too much fun.
Tao Ran thought that Long Qiu was still in the company, so he said, "Take me to Xinghui."
Bai Shaohui said with an expression that I understood: "You just taught me that you must bring delicious food when visiting classes at midnight."
Tao Ran: "..."
Tao Ran bought two big puffs and a cup of hot drink at the pastry shop, and got out of the car under Bai Shaohui's teasing gaze.
The Xinghui Building at night is no longer as crowded as it was during the day. Even if there are still people working overtime, they are still working silently in the office with the lights on. Tao Ran was waiting for the elevator with puffs and cocoa, just in time to meet Long Qiu's assistant going downstairs.
"Hey, you're not." The assistant pointed at Tao Ran, "You are Tao Ran."
"Well, I am." Tao Ran smiled and said, "Thank you for the chicken soup that day, it was very delicious."
"Oh, you're welcome." Seeing the bag in Tao Ran's hand, the assistant smiled exactly like Bai Shaohui's aunt, and said, "Look for Mr. Long, hurry up, she's about to go back from get off work."
"Okay." Tao Ran got on the elevator and started to go upstairs.
Recently, Xinghui needs to invest in a lot of projects. Long Qiu not only has to look at the content, but also waits for the results of the risk assessment company. It didn't come to an end until nine o'clock. She reached out and rubbed her eyes, and the light outside the window shone into the office. Although she was used to it, she still felt a little lonely facing the empty office.
"Boss Long, are you there?"
Long Qiu was startled, turned his head and said, "Who?"
"It's me." Tao Ran pushed open the door, held up the bag in his hand and said, "I've sent you a gift."
Long Qiu was a little surprised, "Why are you here?"
"I know you work hard overtime, so I came to see you." Tao Ran put the bag on the table and said, "I'm hungry, I'll give you something to eat."
The rich aroma of hot cocoa emanates from the cup, and the aroma smells in the nose and warms the heart. Long Qiu took a sip of the cocoa and felt it was delicious. She looked at the two big puffs in the bag and said, "You let me eat this at such a late hour, do you want to make me fat?"
"You're not fat either." Tao Ran said, "Why don't you just eat one, and I'll eat the other, fresh milk or matcha, which one do you want?"
Long Qiu: "I want matcha."
"Okay." Tao Ran took out the fresh milk and sat down with Long Qiu to eat.
Long Qiu ate quietly, smelling the faint smell of alcohol on Tao Ran's body. She wondered if Tao Ran took Cui Xiao out for a drink, and as soon as this thought came up, Long Qiu felt a little uncomfortable. But this is what I asked him to do, and he still remembers to give me food after finishing it. He is already a very good friend.
A faint sense of guilt rose in Long Qiu's heart, she felt that she should not have threatened Tao Ran like that before. Long Qiu said: "How did you come here?"
Tao Ran didn't dare to say that he and Bai Shaohui went out to drink and talk about women, he said, "I took a taxi."
"Tony said he would give you a car, but the car hasn't arrived yet?"
"I'm picking it up. He said that choosing an RV will make it easier to take care of me."
"Well, that's fine." Long Qiu thought for a while and said, "Choose an ordinary car as well. You can't drive a RV everywhere. The money for the car will be reimbursed by the Finance Department."
"So good?" Tao Ran beamed with joy, "Does every artist in the company have a car?"
Think beautifully...
Long Qiu turned his head, and said with a very indifferent and proud look: "The money the company spends on you will be earned back from you sooner or later, don't make a dog wagging its tail."
Tao Ran: "..."
Why can't this tsundere talk properly
There are no big scenes in this drama. The most important thing is that the director is too demanding, but no matter how harsh it is, there will be a day when it will end.
Tao Ran was wearing shabby clothes, messy hair, thin and yellowed cheeks. He limped along the street, his eyes numb and lifeless. Suddenly he seemed to see something, a woman got off the rickshaw in the distance. That woman is very good-looking. Not only did she not get old after seeing her for many years, but she also had the charm of a mature woman.
He looked at the woman obsessively, watched the woman smile, and watched the woman bend down and speak softly to the little girl. She was doing well, he thought, and she was happy without him.
The woman seemed to have sensed something, suddenly raised her head, and looked at Tao Ran from a distance.
Tao Ran was taken aback, turned around and limped away.
The woman's eyes were full of shock and disbelief. She handed over the child to the servant, and chased after him like crazy. High heels were very difficult to walk in the winding alley, but luckily the man could not walk fast even with a limp.
Tao Ran rushed into a dilapidated house, curled up at the corner, covered his head and face with his hands.
