Bai Tao didn't know how big a bomb she had dropped on Pei Shi. She only knew that Sun Jing's guest room was not comfortable. She missed the memory foam mattress in Pei Shi's villa. She and Pei Shi slept on it in the past few nights. It was comfortable and warm...
Bah! Bah! Bah!
Why are you still thinking about Pei Shi! Bai Tao shook her head in hatred, feeling that she was definitely not thinking about Pei Shi, but just thinking about the mattress.
Sun Jing went out to work early in the morning and warmly invited Bai Tao to go with her. Bai Tao didn't want to see Pei Shi, so naturally she didn't want to go to his company anymore. She scolded the scumbag and said that in order to show her respect for the emperor, she would not want the temporary job with Pei Shi anymore.
"Also, don't mention me in front of Pei... President Pei." Bai Tao stopped Sun Jing before she left the house and said earnestly, "Don't mention me. If they mention me, don't respond. In short, you have to keep my whereabouts a secret for me!"
After Bai Tao finished speaking, she felt that she was a little boring: "Forget it, he probably won't mention me anymore."
I really fell in love with the plastic marriage. Maybe I've read too many press releases and my brain has gone bad.
But Sun Jing's eyes were clear: "I understand. You are afraid that the scumbag will find you through Mr. Pei, right? Don't worry, this kind of scumbag is very perverted. Once you mention divorce, his scam fails, and he didn't get the child. He will probably have an emotional breakdown. There is a high probability that he has violent tendencies. In order to achieve his own goals, he will probably capture you, beat you up, and imprison you after you surrender. Then he will do this and that, unspeakable things, until you give birth to a child..."
"..." Bai Tao was speechless for a moment, "Do you think you are watching the boss's little brother? Can you please pay attention to being civilized and green? Don't always use words to race, and it's indescribable..."
Sun Jing rolled her eyes at Bai Tao: "I am a big fan of Teacher Bai Tao. It is normal for me to have such an outstanding imagination."
"… "
Bai Tao didn't want to talk to her anymore, but as soon as Sun Jing left, she was alone with Sun Jing. Bai Tao felt lonely again, as well as aggrieved and depressed. She didn't know how to face the mess. She said she wanted to find Erchun to piss Pei Shi off to death, but she couldn't muster the energy to do anything.
It’s just that people don’t look for trouble, but trouble looks for people.
When Bai Tao was bored, she received a solemn call -
"Bai Tao? I'm Zhuang Yan! I took great pains to get your contact information. Are you free to come out? I have something to ask of you..."
Zhuang Yan and Pei Shi had a good relationship, so Bai Tao refused without thinking: "I'm busy, thanks for the invitation, goodbye. But we've never been in touch."
"Wait! I can pay! A lot of money..." Zhuang Yan said quickly, "A lot of money, please let me take a few portraits as a model..."
Oh, so it’s not about paying a huge sum of money to have a child
But taking portraits? I heard that Zhuang Yan is indeed a relatively famous photographer, and his photos are pretty good
Bai Tao suddenly had a brilliant idea in her mind -
"If you were not sent by Pei Shi, and you could guarantee to keep my whereabouts absolutely confidential with Pei Shi, I would cooperate..."
Finally, under the repeated assurances of Zhuang Yan, Bai Tao decided to take the time to meet him.
To show his sincerity and formality, Zhuang Yan asked Bai Tao to meet at his photography studio. After showing Bai Tao a brief tour of the photography studio and post-production room, he started to wander around again: "Actually, I mentioned to Pei Shi last time that I wanted to take some portraits with you as a model, but Pei Shi refused to let me..."
After Zhuang Yan mentioned this, Bai Tao also remembered what she thought at that time. She thought Pei Shi loved her to the point of madness, and that it was a capital crime for other men to look at her for even a second. But now that she knew that the news was just a press release...
She coughed and said casually, "Why would I stop you when I was young?"
Zhuang Yan is an artist, and he has a common problem among artists: he is carefree, doesn't care about interpersonal communication, and is slow to perceive people's emotions. He looked at Bai Tao again, as if he was evaluating her. After a moment, he probably finished the evaluation and said happily for Bai Tao: "You may have some problems with your brain, but after talking to you, I think you are quite normal."
Zhuang Yan finished speaking and gave Bai Tao a thumbs up: "I think your brain is good! No problem!"
"… "
Zhuangyan, I think there is something wrong with your brain.
Bai Tao was so angry that she wanted to explode. She didn't care how Zhuang Yan viewed her, but when she remembered that Pei Shi was not jealous at all and was trying to stop Zhuang Yan from getting close to her because he felt that he was crazy and was afraid of being exposed, she felt so uncomfortable that she could hardly breathe.
Because of this emotion, Bai Tao accelerated her actions. She went straight to the point and successfully diverted her attention: "Zhuang Yan, you are not going to use the name of art to do pornographic things, right? You are taking normal portraits, right? Can I use the photos myself after taking them?"
"I will pay you to buy out the copyright of the photos I took, because I may use these photos to show them to new clients or participate in competitions. You can keep the negatives, but you cannot use them for commercial purposes, and they cannot conflict with my scope of use. I will just leave them for you as a souvenir..."
Zhuang Yan spoke about his work in a very serious manner: "Regarding the price, the license buyout period, the scope of our shooting, and your work content, I have the complete contract terms here. I plan to shoot five sets of photos for you, each with ten photos. Of course, I may take a lot of photos during the shooting, but I will select the photos in the end, and I will destroy all the other waste photos that are not selected. I will never use them for infringement."
"I don't need money, but you have to give me a copy of the film, I want to use it too." Bai Tao glanced at Zhuang Yan, "Of course, I don't use it for commercial purposes, and it's unlikely that my use scope will overlap with yours."
Zhuang Yan hesitated: "You really don't want money? What are you going to do with these photos?"
Bai Tao smiled slightly: "Looking for a marriage."
Zhuang Yan was so shocked that he suddenly revealed his true feelings and asked, "Are you and Pei Shi finally divorced?"
As far as Zhuang Yan knows, Pei Shi and Bai Tao had no emotional foundation when they got married. When he first received the wedding invitation, Zhuang Yan felt completely confused. He was wondering if Pei Shi had made the same mistake that most men in the world made, getting Bai Tao pregnant. But now that they have been married for almost a year, they still haven't had a child...
From a solemn perspective, his words were well-reasoned, but when they entered Bai Tao's ears, they did not sound pleasant to the ear, and she even seemed unhappy. For a moment, she even forgot to explain that she and Pei Shi had not yet completely divorced, they were just on the way to divorce.
Bai Tao's eyes widened almost immediately, and she only cared about another question: "What does the end mean? Are we so unworthy?"
"No, no. You two are a perfect match! A perfect match!"
Bai Tao got angry again: "How are we a good match? Do you think you are worthy of me?!"
There are no friends in the face of cooperation. Zhuang Yan said calmly, "Not worthy! Not worthy! This must be unworthy! You are such a flower, but you are cow dung!"
"..." Bai Tao glanced at Zhuang Yan with a hard-to-speak look, "In short, you must keep our cooperation completely confidential from Pei Shi. I don't want to see Pei Shi recently. Do you understand me?"
"Don't worry!" Zhuang Yan smiled like a fox, "Pei Shi and I haven't been in touch for many years. Our relationship isn't that good. It's just a fake friendship, you know!"
…
*****
It is better to do it today than to wait for a day. Bai Tao and Zhuang Yan did not waste any time and took the five sets of photos in one day.
To Bai Tao's surprise, Zhuang Yan is actually a serious photographer. The portraits he takes are indeed remarkable. There is no need for him to deliberately make poses. The moments captured casually by Zhuang Yan are good enough.
Bai Tao looked at the photo and had only one thought in her mind for a moment -
I am so damn beautiful!
She copied the photos onto the mobile hard drive and finally felt a little better. She went back home triumphantly.
Pei Shi, you blind man, just wait!
Once I get divorced, I will use this set of photos to find a husband!
First of all, I want to find a young and handsome guy who is better in every aspect!
*****
Bai Tao was very satisfied with the photos, and so was Zhuang Yan.
I have to admire my own vision. Some models are beautiful but lack spiritual energy, and the photos show them as wooden beauties. But Bai Tao is different. Her beauty is vivid and her eyes are very dramatic. The photos alone are enough to impress people.
Although Pei Shi and her marriage was inexplicable, she thought solemnly and responsibly that if it were Pei Shi, he might not be willing to divorce. What else could she be dissatisfied with when she was so pleased every day
He looked through the original photos again, and then called the photo retoucher over: "Xiao Duan, please retouch these photos."
Xiao Duan's full name is Duan Jingjing, she is a new employee who just graduated and joined the company. She used to be a fangirl of a small star and her photo editing skills are simply amazing.
However, when Duan Jingjing took a look at the picture, she was a little stunned: "Does this need to be repaired? Has it been repaired? What else can be repaired?"
Zhuang Yan was quite proud: "Look at the model I chose, how perfect! So there is no need to retouch the facial features, just adjust the color tone. The natural light is a little dim today, so try adjusting a few more versions."
Duan Jingjing responded. She had a good photo base and there was almost no use for her. She quickly adjusted the color and secretly switched the chat interface back to her star-chasing friend, who was sending her a link -
"Look at our idol's debut photos, top secret!"
Duan Jingjing didn't think much about it and rushed in. But when she clicked on the computer, the screen was black.
After a while, a call from a similar person came -
"Sister! My account is gone! My account is infected! I think I sent you something, don't click it!"
Click on it...
Fortunately, after a brief black screen, the computer returned to normal. Duan Jingjing checked her bank card account and found nothing unusual. She thought that there was no other sensitive information on this work computer except for the customer photos, so she didn't take it seriously and went back to happily chasing stars.
*****
On the other hand, although the listing progressed very smoothly, Pei Shi began to suffer from insomnia.
Bai Tao's whereabouts are still unknown. After leaving behind that messy divorce agreement, she seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. Pei Shi approached all her possible relatives and friends to inquire about her, but to no avail.
He knew that if he called the police, the news would leak out and might affect the listing, but it had already been 36 hours, and Pei Shi could not bear not seeing Bai Tao for so long. If Yuan Mu still couldn't find Bai Tao by tonight, Pei Shi decided to call the police.
Compared with the white peaches, the white peaches seem to be more important.
The lawyer was frowning: "Boss Pei, this is a critical period, don't make a big deal. Boss Pei found it all by himself, so don't be impulsive... The more you look for it, the more confused you will be. If you don't look for it, Boss's information will pop up on its own..."
Pei Shi didn't care about the lawyer's opinion. As a lawyer, he would naturally make the most profit from a successful listing. Bai Tao was not his boss, so he naturally didn't care about Bai Tao.
But Pei Shi didn't expect that in the end, the lawyer's mouth really seemed to be blessed.
After Pei Shijie finished an audit meeting, he saw a male subordinate impatiently open his phone and clicked on an app during the break. He originally just glanced at it casually, but he didn't expect to see Bai Tao's face on the other person's phone screen.
"Please stay for a while."
The male subordinate trembled and said, "Boss Pei, is there any problem with the audit report?"
"No." Pei Shi pursed his lips, "What did you just see?" He said naturally, "I seemed to see Fiona's face. Did you take a picture of her before?"
“Oh!” The male subordinate was relieved when he heard that it was not a problem at work, and then he became a little shy, “I didn’t take a picture of her, I recently registered for a blind date app, and just saw her on the homepage promotion matching information… I didn’t expect that she was so beautiful and still single and even needed a blind date…”
Pei Shi didn't hear what the other party said at all. He looked gloomy and asked, "What's the name of this dating app?"
"ah?"
Pei Shi pursed his lips and said calmly, "Recently, I have been considering expanding my business, and this kind of dating software is also within my consideration. I can screen matches based on whether they are in the same city or not, and their interests and hobbies. This also involves algorithm issues. In addition, managing the database of these registered users may also require our services."
As expected, it’s President Pei!
I only think about blind dates and finding a partner, but Mr. Pei is always thinking about business!
The male subordinate was very ashamed and immediately presented all the information about the software: "Boss Pei, do you need me to contact the person in charge and the operation team of this software?"
"Not for now." Pei Shi's voice was still calm and composed, "Let me evaluate it."
After the male subordinate left with admiration on his face, Pei Shi's face darkened. He downloaded the app and registered and logged in.
There is no need to look for it, this app will directly push Bai Tao's photo to you.
The main picture on the homepage, without scrolling, is accompanied by a line of advertising slogan that kills aesthetics—
"A single beauty, waiting to be picked up by the brothers."
…
This is intolerable.
Pei Shi was almost furious.
Recently, due to the listing, lawyers and audit teams have been coming and going. Pei Shi knows that he needs to maintain a professional and steady image at all times, but at this moment, he doesn't even care about the company and loosens his collar in annoyance.
Bai Tao can't wait to find a new partner even though she's not divorced yet
Are you so desperate that you want to use this inferior dating app
Are you still waiting for you brothers to pick it up
Does she know that this is called fraud? Bigamy? No moral ethics
Pei Shi's good upbringing allowed him to hold back his rude behavior, but he was determined not to endure it any longer. He had to see Bai Tao immediately and capture her.
At this moment, many dark thoughts flashed through Pei Shi's mind. Bai Tao was such a troublemaker. If he put a chain on her and locked her to the head of his bed, maybe she would be more obedient.
Pei Fei was right in saying that she attracted many men.
Pei Shi stared at Bai Tao's photo on the app again.
There was no nudity in the whole photo, and she was dressed elegantly and gracefully, but Bai Tao's eyes seemed to have an alluring aura. Her whole face was bright and not gaudy, but Pei Shi felt that it made people have that kind of association.
The fact that she looked like this and even took photos and posted them on a dating app was a sin.
It’s just that Pei Shi’s heart was almost going crazy, but his hands couldn’t help but operate.
When I came to my senses, I realized that I had unknowingly saved the photo of Bai Tao into my cell phone album.
But no matter how angry we are, at least by following the clues in this photo, we can find Bai Tao.
Pei Shi looked at the time. There was still an hour before the next meeting. This blind date app allows online chatting. He completed his registration information and then clicked on the private chat channel for Bai Tao.
Pei Shi originally planned to spend half an hour to find out Bai Tao's location, but ten minutes later, he exited the software - it only took this little time for Pei Shi to confirm that the person on the other end of the phone was not Bai Tao at all.
I know Bai Tao and know her tone.
Pei Shi checked the introduction of the company that this APP belonged to and quickly came to a conclusion - Bai Tao's photo was probably stolen and put on this kind of dating website to attract customers and develop male prostitutes.
Because it wasn't Bai Tao herself, Pei Shi naturally got no information about her after ten minutes of chatting. But surprisingly, when he learned that it wasn't Bai Tao herself who went online for a blind date, Pei Shi's mood unexpectedly improved.
Although this woman did some things, she still seems to have some bottom line as a human being.
Enthusiastic citizen Pei Sheng was very experienced in reporting this type of illegal software that steals personal privacy information, and he completed the entire process in a short time.
After reporting the case, Pei Shi had to cooperate with the police to do a small investigation record. While answering simple questions, he was thinking about how to continue looking for Bai Tao. He didn't know if it was because of good luck, but after the record was completed, the police smiled and immediately gave Pei Shi some good news -
It turns out that this app software stole a lot of privacy and photos. The police have already received a large number of complaints from victims. Now the person in charge and managers of the app have been controlled and have confessed their crimes.
The young police officer explained enthusiastically: "Although there are already a lot of reports, your additional report is also very useful to us. We will notify you of the results after we have processed it. However, the theft of photos infringes on the right of portrait, which is still a civil dispute. It is recommended that the victim himself file a lawsuit at the same time."
Pei Shi nodded and turned to leave.
But just as he walked to the door, he ran into Zhuang Yan who was rushing in from the other side door. He seemed to be in a hurry and didn't pay any attention to Pei Shi. When he saw the policeman, he complained with a sad face -
"Are you kidding me? Police officer, how can I explain to my clients that the computers in our photography studio have been infected with a particularly stupid and low-level QQ link virus. Now all the photos of our clients have been leaked. Are you being arranged to marry me?!"
Zhuang Yan was still frowning, but Pei Shi felt as if he knew something.
When the alumni met Zhuang Yan, he wanted to take a photo of Bai Tao, so the photo of Bai Tao attracting many bees and butterflies was probably taken by him. It is very likely that the photo was taken after Bai Tao ran away from home.
Pei Shi's face darkened and he walked towards Zhuang Yan, thinking that it was time to talk to his friend.
You should not cheat on your friend’s wife, don’t you know that
Even if Bai Tao wanted to be his mistress, Zhuang Yan should have refused!
After all, as long as he and Bai Tao have not divorced, Bai Tao is the boss, and no matter how much Zhuang Yan stirs up trouble, he is just an illegitimate and shameful character.
