Chapter 4 Chapter Four Undercurrent Surges
In the first-class waiting room of Air China, Yi Tao was waiting for Yan Wenxiao to change clothes, and suddenly received a call from Annie. Her voice seemed a little tired, and she asked, "Are you about to board the plane?"
Yi Tao looked at his watch: "There is still a while."
"Well, have a safe journey." Annie's voice was very soft, soft, and even empty.
"Sister Annie, take care too." Yi Tao suddenly felt his throat a little dry.
Annie's voice was a little hoarse: "Take good care of Wen Xiao for me."
"Understood, I will." Yi Tao replied.
Just in time, Yan Wenxiao came out after changing her clothes. The black clothes were baggy and elegant, like a heroine in the dark night.
Yi Tao waved to her and said to Annie, "Sister Annie, Wen Xiao is here."
Annie said "Oh": "Give her the phone."
Yi Tao handed the phone to Yan Wenxiao and said to her, "Sister Annie."
Yan Wenxiao took it suspiciously, and sat down next to Yi Tao. Even though she washed up in the bathroom, put on makeup, and put on perfume, Yi Tao could still smell a faint smell of alcohol.
Not knowing what Annie said on the phone, Yan Wenxiao just lowered her head to answer, and looked up at Yi Tao from time to time. Yi Tao understood that their conversation must be related to her.Yan Wenxiao looked a little tired, and Yi Tao felt pity in his heart, and waved for a cup of coffee. Yan Wenxiao raised an eyebrow at him, but didn't smile, and continued to talk to Annie with "um, um".
The announcement was made to board the plane. Yi Tao stood up and looked at Yan Wenxiao. She was still listening to the phone in a leisurely manner until a waiter came to urge her to say: "I understand." Then she closed the line. .
Air China’s first-class cabin is not much different from Cathay Pacific’s first-class cabin in terms of hardware, because it is a night flight, and the attendant will come to make the bed shortly after takeoff.Yi Tao looked at Yan Wenxiao next to her, she looked very tired, maybe because of her image problem, she still kept a reserved smile.After the waiter made the bed, she said to Yi Tao: "I'm too tired, I'm resting, if you're not sleepy, watch TV for a while." After that, she took off her slippers and curled up on the bed.
At some point, Yi Tao also fell asleep. In his sleep, he seemed to be swimming, and there was a group of people watching on the shore. He really wanted to go ashore, but found that he was not wearing underwear.When I was nervous, I woke up, only to find that the cabin was already full of sunlight. Looking out of the porthole, there was a piece of blue, and I couldn't tell whether it was the sea or the blue sky.
Yi Tao doesn't know how many times he has experienced such flights, but like today, there are not many times with such a happy mood.Is it because of Yan Wenxiao?Definitely yes, but it doesn't seem to be all.
The breakfast is not bad, one siu mai, one biscuit, so-so.
Yan Wenxiao didn't get up to eat breakfast, but slept all the time.When it was almost time for lunch, Yan Wenxiao finally woke up. She turned her head to look at Yi Tao, who was watching a TV series starring her, and asked softly, "You woke up early?"
Yi Tao took off his earphones and asked with concern, "Do you want to eat?"
Yan Wenxiao shook her head: "I don't want to eat. I had too much wine yesterday and my stomach feels uncomfortable. I'm going to the bathroom. Get me a glass of milk!"
"Okay!" Yi Tao agreed, and then pressed the light to call the flight attendant to help Yan Wenxiao make up the bed.
It didn't take long for Yan Wenxiao to come back, Yi Tao was very strange, she seemed to be doing magic, she made herself beautiful in a blink of an eye, what method did she use?
"By the way, Sister Annie is going to Pengcheng to talk to you these few days. I have something to do in Beijing, so you must accompany me!"
"What did she tell you last night?" Yi Tao asked.
Yan Wenxiao relaxed her body, adjusted the angle of the seat, and replied casually: "It's nothing."
Yi Tao suddenly felt that there was something wrong with her attitude, but he couldn't tell what the problem was.He wanted to ask something, but found that she had closed her eyes.
Yi Tao leaned over to look at her, Yan Wenxiao was wearing light makeup.Light makeup is not a simple makeup, it is more detailed than heavy makeup, it doesn't look like much, but it gives people a feeling of natural beauty, a feeling of killing people invisible, Yi Tao thought to himself.
It wasn't until the plane was about to land that Yan Wenxiao opened her eyes and looked at Yi Tao, and asked, "You haven't slept?" Yi Tao nodded slightly, and replied, "Watching you sleep is a kind of enjoyment."
A blush flew onto Yan Wenxiao's cheeks, this was an expression Yi Tao rarely saw, she said: "Fool." Then she reached out to hold Yi Tao's hand, her eyes fixed on him, full of tenderness.
Yi Tao was a little embarrassed by her look, and wanted to withdraw her hand, but Yan Wenxiao's hand tightened, and she asked in a low voice, "Do you love me?"
Yi Tao looked around quickly, and asked in a low voice, "What are you talking about in the cabin?"
"Do you love me?" Yan Wenxiao continued to ask.
Yi Tao whispered, "Are you crazy?" Then he continued to look around like an underground worker, and said, "Is there a need to ask? Can't you see it?"
Yan Wenxiao shook her head: "I can't see it, unless..."
"Unless what?" Yi Tao didn't know what she was going to say, and was a little nervous.
"Unless?" Yan Wenxiao's eyes rolled once again, just as she was about to say something, the plane suddenly jolted violently, and Yan Wenxiao's face paled suddenly, "What's going on?"
The broadcast reminded everyone to fasten their seat belts. The airflow was extremely strong, and the plane shook constantly. Because of the sudden incident, the publications and water cups on the passenger desks were all over the floor.Yan Wenxiao's hand tightly held Yi Tao, which was icy cold, and her voice was trembling: "Yi Tao, I'm afraid." Although Yi Tao was also very scared in his heart, he still replied calmly: "It's okay, it's okay ,normal phenomenon."
Yan Wenxiao suddenly asked: "If something unexpected happens today, will you regret it?"
Yi Tao placed both hands on Yan Wenxiao's and said firmly, "I won't regret being with you."
As soon as the words fell, the plane suddenly sank downward.Yi Tao's heart seemed to rush to his throat, he wanted to vomit, but seeing Yan Wenxiao's pale face, he pressed down hard, poked his head over, and kissed Yan Wenxiao's forehead deeply .
At that moment, Yi Tao clearly felt that Yan Wenxiao was trembling, his whole body trembled like a fallen leaf in the wind.For a moment, he played the movie quickly in his mind, and his life flashed by. He asked himself: "If something really happened today, would there be any regrets?" He suddenly thought of Yibo. , will she take good care of her parents?
After an unknown amount of time, the plane suddenly tilted and shook, and the plane had already landed.There was a burst of cheers in the cabin, and Yan Wenxiao also shouted.
Yi Tao didn't yell, he adjusted his breathing silently to calm himself down.Because he didn't want Yan Wenxiao to feel that he was afraid too. Men always want to be brave in front of women. This is their nature.In the face of fear, as long as you remain calm, you will find a way to overcome it. If you lose your balance, fear will take hold of you.
Sitting in the car that came to pick them up, the car drove along the airport expressway to the city.Yan Wenxiao's face was still pale, and she still looked a little bit shocked.Yi Tao held her hand, it was cool.
After a long time, Yan Wenxiao suddenly sighed: "We have passed through a catastrophe, right?"
Yi Tao replied flatly: "It was a false alarm."
"Why are you so dismissive? Are you cold-blooded?" Yan Wenxiao was suddenly a little excited.
Yi Tao pointed to Huang Xiaoyan, Yan Wenxiao's assistant who was driving ahead, and gave Yan Wenxiao a wink.Yan Wenxiao said: "It's okay, Xiaoyan is her own, so you can say whatever you want."
Yi Tao pondered for a while, and replied peacefully: "I wasn't worried much just now. You must know that the planes now are very safe, and they can all achieve Level 3 blind landing. The autopilot system on the aircraft can land safely. If the weather conditions just now cannot meet the landing conditions, the pilot will not choose to make a forced landing."
"I said, why do you act like a normal person? Doctors like you are different from us." Yan Wenxiao took her hand out of Yi Tao's hand coquettishly, and hit him.
Yi Tao grinned: "But..." Then, he suddenly closed his mouth.
"But what?" Yan Wenxiao pressed, but no matter what she asked, Yi Tao refused to say anything.
"Sister Wenxiao, don't ask, he must be afraid if he doesn't say anything." Huang Xiaoyan, who had been concentrating on driving, suddenly interjected.
Yan Wenxiao glanced at Yi Tao suspiciously, and asked like a policeman, "Really?"
Yi Tao had a righteous look on his face and resolutely refused to answer.
Huang Xiaoyan smiled hehe, and said to Yan Wenxiao: "Okay, sister Wenxiao, don't ask any more. Look at his current appearance, silence means acquiescence."
Yan Wenxiao turned her head, pointed at Yi Tao and said, "I'll give you another chance to confess, you should tell the truth."
Yi Tao put his mouth close to Yan Wenxiao's ear, and said softly, "At that time, I was thinking, if something really happened, I would be happy if I could die with you."
Yan Wenxiao straightened her body and looked at Yi Tao quietly: "You really think so?"
Yi Tao nodded resolutely.Yan Wenxiao seemed to be in a daze, but suddenly, she rushed forward and kissed Yi Tao.Huang Xiaoyan saw this movement in the rearview mirror, and she yelled loudly: "Be careful, it's not suitable for children." However, the two people in the back row couldn't hear her protest, and kissed passionately.
Yan Wenxiao's house is on the edge of the Fifth Ring Road, which is said to be the most high-end villa area in Beijing two years ago. Walking along a road decorated with European sculptures and street lights on both sides, Yan Wenxiao kept telling Yi Tao that the residents on both sides Most of the names are famous figures in China, but they are mainly political and economic figures.Yi Tao felt very strange, political and economic figures in Pengcheng are not used to getting together, why is this another custom in Beijing?However, he soon figured it out. In fact, this is also a circle, and everyone trusts each other to live together.Besides, there must be a lot of houses for people like this, and buying a house together doesn't necessarily mean living together, it's just for a certain status, like a business card.
Yan Wenxiao's neighbor is a man named Gu Gang.Yi Tao had never heard of this name before, and it was only after Yan Wenxiao explained that he suddenly realized that Asa, Jizi and Gu Gang were known as the "Three Musketeers", and they were well-known figures in the capital.
Yi Tao said: "I've heard of the 'Four Young Masters of the Capital' and the 'Four Young Masters of the Capital', why? There is also the 'Three Musketeers of the Capital'?"
Yan Wenxiao watched Huang Xiaoyan and another assistant carry luggage into the room, and replied with a bit of disdain in her tone, "They are not at the same level as the 'Three Musketeers' at all."
Yi Tao looked around, and found that Yan Wenxiao's villa was not big, compared to her one in Los Angeles, it could be called a "pocket villa".Considering that this is Beijing, the price will not be cheap, but Yi Tao was still surprised when Yan Wenxiao told him the price when he bought the house, because at the current price, it was tantamount to giving away for nothing.However, Yan Wenxiao didn't say why she bought it so cheap in the first place, she only said that she bought it with Gu Gang.Yan Wenxiao didn't say what Gu Gang does, but based on Yi Tao's understanding of Asa and Jizi, he should also be a person who holds important power and resources.
Yi Tao asked: "Does he live here often?"
Yan Wenxiao shook her head: "He seldom comes here. His wife and daughter immigrated long ago. He usually lives in the city. I mainly help him take care of this place."
Yi Tao let out a "hmm" and continued to look at Yan Wenxiao's house.This house has a not-so-small yard, which is separated from the neighbors on both sides by low walls.The flowers and trees in the yard are very high-grade, and it can be seen that Yan Wenxiao loves them in investing, building and maintaining them.
Yi Tao couldn't help but praised: "Your yard is really nice."
Yan Wenxiao is a little proud: "That is, when I am not busy, I like to enjoy flowers in the yard, listen to the rain, drink coffee, or be a gardener. When I was not busy before, a few good friends would go shopping together. , doing beauty treatment, and now I go home and farm whenever I have time.”
Yi Tao said with emotion: "Look at your life, think about my usual, in addition to researching new products, I just meet customers or receive dealers, which lacks interest!"
Yan Wenxiao said half-jokingly: "Then you can buy one in Pengcheng, or when you build a factory this time, build one in the name of an expert apartment?"
Yi Tao shook his head: "When my management team all live in ordinary houses, I can't live in a villa by myself? I can't do that."
Yan Wenxiao looked at him as if looking at an alien: "You are really weird." However, she may have consciously slipped her words, and immediately added, "However, I can understand."
Yi Tao was a little unhappy hearing her first sentence, but when she heard her say this, he said sincerely: "Thank you!"
Yan Wenxiao turned her head and said to Huang Xiaoyan: "I'll take Boss Yi around the yard, you carry your luggage upstairs, and then arrange a meal! Boss Yi and I are going to be jet-lagged, and there will be activities at National TV tomorrow, so we're not in a good state of mind." Well, you will be scolded by Boss Geng."
Huang Xiaoyan agreed heartily, and Yan Wenxiao said to Yi Tao, "Let's go, I'll show you around."
Starting from the small building, a path paved with granite leads to the four sides of the yard. The green lawn is like a Persian carpet, and various rare and lush plants and flowers are planted in the corners of the yard or in pots to decorate the garden.It can be seen that someone often trims it, needless to say, it must be done by Yan Wenxiao himself.
"You are not a bad gardener." Yi Tao said in an appreciative tone.
Yan Wenxiao walked step by step with her hands behind her back, and replied with a squinting smile: "Of course, I have read a lot of books on gardening. In the future, when I retire, I can start a bonsai company."
The entrance is a hall of more than 60 square meters, and the entire decoration style is Chinese classical home style.The ground is made of blue-colored striped stone, the ceiling is decorated with wood, carved beams and painted buildings, and inlaid with scattered point light sources. There are no giant chandeliers in the whole room, but the lighting is very soft.The stairs leading to the second floor are close to the stone surface, and the railings are simple cirrus railings, which makes the whole house look like a large northern family.
Most of the furniture in the hall is Chinese classical style, and the Chinese square tables and huanghuali chairs are very gorgeous.The complete set of primary color huanghuali sofa uses a flower table inlaid with porcelain, and the matching of Chinese style table adds a bit of elegance to the interior.
The largest group of lights in the whole house is similar to palace lanterns, but there are many mountains, rivers, birds and animals painted on it, which looks fresh and empty.There are a few paintings hanging on the wall. When I walked over to see them, they were all made by famous contemporary masters. Yan Wenxiao introduced, "These were all given by them."
Yi Tao nodded, he understood that with her communication skills, it was normal for these painters to send her paintings.There is also a dining room and a study room on the first floor. There are many thread-bound books and scroll paintings in the study room.
Yan Wenxiao asked, "How do you feel?"
Yi Tao said: "I feel that the cultural atmosphere is very strong. This place is not like a woman's residence, but like a home of a master of Chinese studies."
Yan Wenxiao smiled and explained: "During the design, I told the designer that the whole house should be shrouded in a traditional cultural atmosphere, and the details should inadvertently show the style of Chinese culture. Of course, The modern Chinese style is not about moving old antiques into the room, but about inheriting and applying them innovatively. By the way, let’s go upstairs and have a look?”
The second floor is actually nothing, except for the master room and the living room, there are a few guest rooms, but the Chinese style is still the same, especially the carved bed in the master room is extremely exquisite in workmanship, and it is indeed Ming Dynasty furniture.The bedding is fuchsia, and there is a kind of beauty in the softness of fuchsia, and the overlapping fuchsia is matched together, with a strong femininity.Yi Tao smiled and said, "Perhaps some princess slept on this bed."
Yan Wenxiao glanced at him: "Why don't you say which imperial concubine slept with it?"
"Have you been slept by the emperor?" Yi Tao put his face close to Yan Wenxiao's ear and said roguely.
Yan Wenxiao rolled her eyes: "You must know, because you are a celebrity around the emperor."
Yi Tao realized immediately that she was calling him a eunuch, so he stretched out his hand to grab her, but Yan Wenxiao deftly dodged away.Yi Tao continued to grab her, and finally caught her. He put his arms around her waist, and said viciously: "Dare to call me a eunuch, is there any eunuch as strong as me?"
Yan Wenxiao looked unconvinced, staring at Yi Tao: "Who told you that I let the emperor sleep?"
"It's you..." Before Yi Tao finished speaking, the phone in Yan Wenxiao's hand rang. When she saw the number, her expression changed drastically, and she immediately walked to another room.
Yi Tao didn't know who she was talking on the phone with, but judging by her expression, she definitely didn't want him to hear this kind of phone call.After thinking about it, he walked into the bathroom in the master room and took a shower. After a long flight, his body was sticky, and washing with hot water would relieve some fatigue.
The warm water made Yi Tao's pores bloom. He closed his eyes and let the water hit him. Gorky's words suddenly echoed in his mind: "On the vast sea, the strong wind gathers dark clouds. Between the dark clouds and the sea, The petrels are flying proudly like black lightning." Yi Tao himself felt amused, why did he think of it?
Yi Tao walked out of the bathroom, but was surprised to find that Yan Wenxiao was sitting on the sofa by the window panting heavily, with a dark face, as if she was angry with someone.
"What's the matter?" Yi Tao walked over, took his hand, and asked with concern while squatting in front of her.
Yan Wenxiao didn't answer directly, her face was very ugly, it could be seen that she was trying to suppress her emotions, she said: "I'm sorry, in my job, there are many things to face. So, get ready next time." After dinner, go eat by yourself, I can't accompany you. By the way, I won't be back tonight. Tomorrow I will directly participate in the activities of the National TV. I guess I won't be able to come back until very late. You can move freely. If you need a car, it's in the garage."
"Is the problem serious?" Yi Tao looked at Yan Wenxiao solemnly.
Yan Wenxiao shook her head: "I can't say whether it's serious or not. Some things have to be faced. But don't worry, I will take care of it. Yi Tao, please forgive me for not telling you why, some things It has nothing to do with you, and you don't need to participate, that will only upset you. Yi Tao, I love you, and loving someone should make him happy, not let him get involved in some right and wrong for no reason."
Yi Tao was suddenly moved. He stared into Yan Wenxiao's eyes and said sincerely: "True love is to share happiness and face pain together, isn't it?"
A light flashed in Yan Wenxiao's eyes. She seemed to want to say something, but she shook her head immediately: "Honey, I'm sorry, there are some things you don't need to participate in. It's not that I don't trust you, but there are many, many reasons In this way, I will go first, and you can go to sleep after eating!"
Yi Tao nodded, stood up, pulled Yan Wenxiao, and hugged her gently: "Wen Xiao, I love you too, if you are under pressure, let me help you share some of it, okay?"
Yan Wenxiao nodded meekly like a cat, at that moment, Yi Tao seemed to be in a dream.He didn't know what kind of pressure Yan Wenxiao was under now, and he really wanted to share it for her, even if it was only a little bit.
That night, Yi Tao didn't fall asleep all the time, his mind was full of mountains and tsunami, he walked up to the balcony several times, looked at the lights of Beijing city in the distance, and asked in his heart: "Wen Xiao, where are you?"
However, there are more lights in the city of Beijing than there are stars in the sky, so he doesn't know which window Yan Wenxiao is in, let alone what Yan Wenxiao is doing at this time.For a moment, he felt that he might have made a huge mistake. Falling in love with a celebrity is probably the most dangerous game in the world, and he was actually in the game.I am not familiar with this game at all, how to play?
Yi Tao didn't fall asleep until the eastern sky of Beijing was a little pale in the distance, and fell asleep in a daze.The phone next to the bed rang suddenly, but it was Liu Yueping who answered him. Liu Yueping asked, "How did you get to Beijing?"
Yi Tao gave a vague "Yes", he understood that Liu Yueping must have known about his itinerary at the club.Liu Yueping asked again: "Are you jet-lagged?"
Yi Tao was a little dizzy, he sat up slowly, and replied in a low voice: "Yeah, I don't go to sleep until it's almost dawn."
"I'm sorry to interrupt your rest." Liu Yueping seemed very sorry, but he immediately asked, "When will you return to Pengcheng?"
"Is it still about Romon's investment?" Yi Tao asked.
Liu Yueping replied: "No, it's another matter. A friend wants to meet you."
Yi Tao thought for a while: "I still have something to do here, let's contact each other before I go back, okay?"
"Okay! It's a deal. By the way, I'll ask a friend to treat you to dinner tonight. Someone will contact you later."
"Don't be so troublesome, right?" Yi Tao felt a little embarrassed.
"It's nothing, just a little thought from him." Liu Yueping closed the line.
In the past two days, Liu Yueping called himself more frequently, not just introducing friends to himself, right?Yi Tao didn't have much contact with Liu Yueping usually, usually Lin Xiaowei or Mao Yinghua was present, he had never called him so frequently, the calls these two days made Yi Tao feel a bit unusual.
Yi Tao looked at the alarm clock by the bed, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, so he went to the bathroom to take a shower, and then went downstairs.Huang Xiaoyan and another assistant were not there, only the nanny was cleaning up.Seeing Yi Tao coming down, she quickly asked, "Sir, do you want something to eat? I'll make it for you."
"Will it be troublesome?" Yi Tao asked.
"No trouble, what do you want to eat? There are wontons I made this morning in the refrigerator, stuffed with pork, which Ms. Yan likes very much. Otherwise, I'll give you the following." The nanny said enthusiastically.
"Just cook me a bowl of wontons!"
Sitting at the dining table waiting for the nanny to cook wontons, Yi Tao made a phone call to Guan Lulu, knowing that everything in the company was normal, he told her that he would go back soon.Guan Lulu said "hmm" and said, "Okay, you call in advance, and I will ask the driver to pick you up. Also, I want to tell you some good news, this time we have seven more products that have passed the EU CE certification."
"Well, I see." Yi Tao closed the line.Seven products have passed the CE certification of the European Union, which means that most of Cooper's products can go to the international market.It seems that this year's sales will reach a new level.
Yi Tao usually eats southern wontons in Pengcheng, but he seldom eats this kind of northern wontons. The soup is very clear and the fillings are a bit salty, but the saltiness is just right.If it wasn't for an appointment later, he would definitely ask the nanny to cook another bowl.
A phone call came, and it was from Annie.When Yi Tao picked it up, Annie's voice was a little tired, and she asked, "What are you doing?"
Yi Tao stretched, stood up from the dining table, walked to the door, and replied as he walked, "I just woke up and ate something. Why, it's early morning over there, and you still not asleep?"
"I can't sleep, my mind is in a mess." Annie said with a nasal voice.
"What? Sister Annie, do you have a cold?" Yi Tao asked with concern.
Annie sighed faintly: "Maybe the air conditioner is turned on a little bit? Why? Alone?"
Yi Tao went to sit on the recliner next to the swing, and said "yes", "Wen Xiao went to China TV to do a show."
Annie said "hmm" and said: "I know, I called her just now, and Huang Xiaoyan answered, saying that she is putting on makeup, so I will call you and talk to you."
Annie seemed to be drinking water, Yi Tao smiled: "Okay, what are we talking about?"
"I'm drinking." Annie said.
Yi Tao smiled: "Are you romantic enough to drink alone?"
Annie sighed: "Red wine passes through the stomach and stomach smoothly like a drink."
Yi Tao was overjoyed, and jokingly said: "Sister Annie is a little disillusioned."
Annie looked very lonely: "So what if you don't see through the world? I just talked to your brother-in-law on the phone and talked about it. He didn't have any objections, but he didn't want to talk to me about other things. He said he wanted to have a meeting, alas! The usual excuse .”
"Is there something wrong with your communication?" Yi Tao asked cautiously.
Annie was silent for a while: "It's not as simple as there is a problem, but there is basically no communication. If I didn't grasp something, I'm afraid he would have ignored me long ago."
Yi Tao understood what Annie said in his heart: "When you return to China this time, you should have a good talk with your brother-in-law!"
Annie said helplessly: "Look, I asked him to come to Pengcheng, he said he was very busy, and he had to check the time. By the way, when will you return to Pengcheng? I want to see your time. I will go there when you go back." .”
Yi Tao thought for a while and replied: "If there are no special circumstances, I will go back tomorrow, because the negotiation team of my financing partner is coming."
"Will you talk to them long?" asked Anne.
Yi Tao replied: "I have already discussed the big issues with the financing partners. They are mainly negotiating the details. I just received them as a courtesy, mainly because of the docking of the two management teams."
"I understand, then I'll go back tomorrow." Annie said suddenly.
"Let me know when you've booked your flight, and I'll pick you up." Yi Tao said.
Annie said slowly, "I have my own plane. I don't know when. You don't have to worry about me. Someone will pick me up when I get there. Just come to my house when the time comes." It's like saying you have a bicycle in front of your house.Yi Tao was a little shocked by her wealth, how much money does she have?
"Well, I'll be waiting for Sister Annie anytime." For some reason, Yi Tao actually had a small expectation in his heart.
There was a constant beeping sound from the earphone, which meant another call came in.Therefore, Yi Tao simply chatted with Annie for a few words before closing the line.
Another call came from an unfamiliar male voice. He introduced himself as Liu Yueping's classmate, named Zhang Anzhao, and wanted to invite Yi Tao to dinner tonight.Yi Tao asked: "Where is it? I'm not familiar with Beijing."
Zhang Anzhao said, "Just tell me where you are, and I'll ask the driver to pick you up." Yi Tao told Zhang Anzhao the address, and he said, "Well, the driver will pick you up in an hour."
Yi Tao and Zhang Anzhao were polite and closed the line.Zhang Anzhao, this name is very strange, but since he is Liu Yueping's friend, he must not be an ordinary person.
He is indeed not an ordinary person. When a Phaeton with a special license plate stopped at the gate of the villa, Yi Tao understood everything.
The car didn't go into the city, but walked along the fifth ring road, then turned to Xiangshan, and arrived at a wrought iron gate without any sign. Someone came to check the ID card. The driver showed him a red card and let him go.Drive in from the Iron Art Gate and drive up the mountain along a narrow road. There are green pines and cypresses on both sides of the road, covering the sky and the sun.Yi Tao thought to himself: This kind of place is not necessarily visible even if the ghost standing on Xiangshan looks down, right?There are one or two forks on both sides of this road, but I can't see where it leads?I didn't see any buildings along the way.
The driver kept silent, and Yi Tao couldn't ask any questions.This kind of silence adds a certain sense of mystery. Mystery is a feeling, but it is also a real existence.Turning around an intersection, another small intersection appeared, followed the path to the depths of the forest, and in front of it appeared a wrought-iron gate with people standing guard, and vaguely saw a simple villa with annexes on both sides. The walls are covered with ancient vines, it seems that this villa has been around for some years.Yi Tao's heart moved, he probably understood what kind of place it was.
After getting out of the car, a young man in a black suit greeted him with a flat but polite expression, "Welcome Mr. Yi, please follow me." Originally, Yi Tao thought he was Zhang Anzhao, but the young man spoke It obviously has an accent from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and it's obviously not Zhang Anzhao.
Entering the hall, Yi Tao was surprised. The floor was covered with a tacky red and white carpet, and the furniture in the room was outdated, especially the sofa, which was covered with a white cloth cover. Yi Tao immediately traveled back to his childhood.At that time, he went to his father Yinengde's work unit, and the office chairs in their work unit also had cloth covers.However, this kind of outdated furniture did not make Yi Tao feel outdated, on the contrary, it made him feel a kind of majesty, and he immediately felt a kind of coolness.
The young man led him to the sofa and sat down, whispering: "Please wait a moment, the leader is receiving guests."
The young man brought the tea, Yi Tao tasted it, and the fragrance left in his mouth, it is definitely the best Longjing tea.This small detail touched Yi Tao's heart very much.Compared with this cup of tea, those teas on the market that cost tens of thousands of catties are simply rotten leaves.
After about twenty minutes, a young man of medium build and wearing a white shirt quickly walked out from a corridor next to the hall, and said from a long distance: "Sorry, sorry, Mr. Yi, I've been delayed by something. , kept you waiting, An Zhao apologized to you."
Yi Tao hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay! Mr. An Zhao." He didn't know how to address this young man, so he had to use a neutral term.
Zhang Anzhao's appearance is very ordinary, introverted and peaceful.He shook hands with Yi Tao and said with a smile: "Mr. Yi is so young. I heard Yue Ping mention you. He respected you when he talked about you. I thought you were an old professor. It turns out that you are a professor who is about my age." His handsome guy is also a doctor, it’s really rare.”
Yi Tao blushed, and replied a little embarrassedly: "Mr. An Zhao laughed."
Zhang Anzhao smiled peacefully: "Let's go, go to eat, and introduce a friend to you by the way."
Walk through a corridor and walk into a restaurant. The decoration is very old. The wood panels on the walls are even painted with the kind of varnish that was common in the past. Some places have been worn out, revealing the original mottled wood.
There is a big round table in the dining room, and there are a man and a woman sitting beside the round table. The man looks like a sketch actor, and the woman is very flamboyant, a very vulgar flamboyance.Compared with Yan Wenxiao and Annie, it smells a bit more dusty.
Zhang Anzhao introduced that the man's name was Jia Zhongan, and he worked in finance.Jia Zhongan shook hands vigorously with him, and kept saying that he has admired him for a long time.The woman introduced herself as Lin Na, but it immediately aroused Yi Tao's thoughts: Selena!
The business card that Jia Zhongan gave Yitao was a company he had never heard of, which was engaged in private equity financing.Everton Investment Bank controlled by Weng Linzhi also has this function.Lin Na said that she didn't have a business card, nor did she say what she did, but exchanged a card with Yi Tao.
Everyone sat down, and Zhang Anzhao said casually: "Mr. Jia brought a salamander today. This is a rare item. Let's try it?"
"Ah? Giant salamander? Isn't it a national second-class protected animal?" Yi Tao turned pale with shock.
Jia Zhongan quickly explained: "This is farmed, farmed."
It was only when he said this that Yi Tao felt relieved. If he really ate protected animals, he really wouldn't bear it.
Zhang Anzhao asked Yi Tao: "What kind of wine to drink? I heard from Yue Ping that you drink a lot. It just so happens that Mr. Jia also drinks a lot. You two have a PK, and I will be the referee."
"Okay, I haven't had a drink for several days, so I just came here to get drunk. Director Zhang, you have a lot of wine here, can I choose it myself?" Jia Zhongan said very familiarly.
Zhang Anzhao nodded with a smile, and Jia Zhongan pulled Lin Na out.
Director Zhang?Is he the director at such a young age?Yi Tao looked at Zhang Anzhao and thought to himself.However, it should be because of his parents that he can live in such a place!
Zhang Anzhao started chatting with Yi Tao, he seemed to be very familiar with Pengcheng, and even talked about a lot of small restaurants in Pengcheng.Yi Tao suddenly came to his senses, and he suddenly remembered a person—the famous Mr. Zhang.So, he tentatively asked, "Mr. An Zhao, what is your relationship with Mr. Zhang?"
Zhang Anzhao chuckled, and seemed to answer very understandingly: "It seems that Yue Ping didn't introduce me to you. I am the grandson of Mr. Zhang, and this house belongs to him. However, he works in Beidaihe in summer, so this place becomes my house." world."
"I see, I'm sorry." Although Yi Tao felt a little uneasy, he quickly calmed down.After chatting for a few more words, Yi Tao found out that Zhang Anzhao, Liu Yueping and Luo Xiaoke were all friends.He suddenly had a bad feeling, thinking that if he rejected Luo Xiaoke, he might offend others.However, before he had time to think about it, someone came to serve the food.
The first dish is stewed giant salamander. The meat looks smooth and tender, and the soup is very clear.Coincidentally, Jia Zhongan and Lin Na also came back, and took two bottles of Moutai, both in very old packaging, with very old trademarks, which seemed to be Mr. Zhang's collection.
"Drink the soup, drink the soup." Zhang Anzhao said modestly to everyone.Lin Na served soup for everyone, and Yi Tao gave her a careful look. Although she was very gaudy, she was quite educated.
The soup tasted very sweet. Zhang Anzhao introduced: "The chef was brought from the south by my old man. He is a top-notch cook. He turned out to be the cook of the provincial party committee. By the way, Miss Lin, drink more, this soup has the effect of beautifying your face. "
Lin Na suddenly smiled, and said with a smile: "Thank you, leader!"
Next is the three-steaked salamander and yellow-braised salamander, and then served with a few light side dishes.
Although it was at Zhang's old house, because Zhang Lao was not there, and Zhang Anzhao and Jia Zhongan were very close, and they were the same age as Yi Tao, and Lin Na was very good at making jokes, the atmosphere was very lively. The wine was drunk.Everyone's conversations also became casual, from the initial international situation to the domestic situation.
贾忠安忽然问伊涛：“对了，伊总，你是鹏城那个俱乐部的会员，你认识富有集团的丁思妍吗？”
伊涛有点意外，反问：“富有集团的丁思妍？我在陈光定的慈善晚会上见过，不过她已经'进去'了。贾总跟她很熟吗？”
“啊，不熟，所以才想问问你。”贾忠安的眼神在张安钊身上扫了一下，张安钊正专心地吃一块鱼，似乎没注意到贾忠安这个动作。
伊涛说：“听说她'进去'以后，有关部门在查富有集团，不过不知道有什么结果。”
张安钊没有抬头，淡淡地说了一句：“要是真查，绝对不难查出问题，可是查出来以后又能怎么样？这都要权衡。因为丁思妍背后不只有一个刘励骏。”
“怎么？刘励骏还会牵扯出别人吗？”林娜在一边忽然插了一句，贾忠安似乎很不满，瞪了她一眼，林娜赶紧低头吃菜。
不过，张安钊似乎并不在意，他继续说：“富有集团的问题谁都看得出猫腻在哪里，别的不说，就说他们为什么能拿到那么多的政府订单？这就是问题所在，至于怎么处理，大家看结果吧！贾总，你就悄悄乐吧，那时候你想要投资富有的那个影视基地，幸亏没投吧？”
贾忠安嘿嘿地笑着：“这事儿还真得感谢岳平，不然就惨了。”
伊涛心里明白，既然刘岳平、张安钊和罗小可都是朋友，贾忠安跟他们熟悉那就不意外了。
“我给你介绍的生意能差吗？康乾盛那个视频网站，你没少赚吧？”张安钊举重若轻地说着，眼睛却轻轻扫了一眼伊涛。
伊涛对张安钊会意地笑了一下，举起杯对贾忠安说：“祝贺贾总。”
贾忠安颇有些得意地跟伊涛碰了一下杯，仰头一饮而尽，然后把杯子向下，表示自己已经喝光了。伊涛保持形象，虽然也干了杯，却显得很低调。不张扬，这是伊涛这么多年一直恪守的一个基本原则。
张安钊微微一笑，对伊涛说：“听说你在融资？怎么样，能不能给贾总一个机会？”
伊涛忽然明白了，今天这场晚宴实际上是张安钊给贾忠安拉场子。他微微一笑说：“早几天认识贾总就好了，我刚在美国融了一笔资金回来，暂时不需要了。”
张安钊嘿嘿地笑了一下说：“那不尽然，可以采取别的一些方法来变通，比如说到某个地方以你库珀的名义申请一块地，然后在那里建个厂。”
伊涛心里一动，这个想法跟安妮的想法有点异曲同工。如果能在贾忠安这里融一笔钱，或者在跟安妮合作时能争取更大的利益，或者干脆在别的地方复制安妮的模式，这也不失是一个让库珀加速发展的机会。不过，他嘴上却说：“这个暂时没有考虑，主要是我这个人是搞研发的，对其他不大懂。”
张安钊温和地看了他一眼，轻轻地笑着说：“你不懂，可是有懂的，林晓伟那个合作伙伴，龙大股份的毛英华不是懂吗？可以跟他商量一下嘛。”
“怎么？安钊先生也熟悉毛英华？”伊涛颇有些意外，于是问。
“熟悉，有机会我们到鹏城的俱乐部聚聚，我跟郑逸群副总经理也蛮熟的。”张安钊笑眯眯地看着伊涛。
“好啊，一言为定！”伊涛跟张安钊干了一杯。
不知不觉，两瓶酒就喝得差不多了。张安钊问伊涛：“要不要再来一瓶？很尽兴，多喝点吧！”
伊涛摇摇头，婉言道：“不了，已经恰到好处了，我要早点回去，太晚了女朋友不高兴。”
“刚才司机接你的那个地儿是你自己的房子？”张安钊似乎很随意地问。
伊涛没大在意，就说：“哦，是女朋友的。”
张安钊似乎有点动容，认真地看了伊涛一眼，表情变得很郑重：“你女朋友是做什么的？”
伊涛随便回答着：“演员。”
“演员？不是一般的演员吧？那地儿可不是一般的二三线小明星能住得起的。伊总，你老实交代，是哪个大牌明星？”张安钊似笑不笑地看着伊涛。
“是啊，伊总，你赶紧交代。”贾忠安也意味深长地看着伊涛，至于林娜，却出乎意料地带着一种奇怪的目光在看着伊涛，这让伊涛很是不解。
伊涛心里知道不好，就赶紧说：“这个就没必要说了，如果有结果，以后你们会知道的。”说来也巧，晏雯晓偏偏就在这时打来了电话。伊涛看了桌上的几个人，拿起电话就想走到门外去。谁知，张安钊说：“一定是你女朋友的电话，不准走，就在这里接。”他一使眼色，林娜赶紧作撒娇状，拦住了伊涛的去路：“不许走！”一副此路是我开的霸气。
没办法，伊涛只好接起电话，晏雯晓问：“你在哪儿？我打电话到家里，保姆说你出去了。”伊涛回答：“我在香山。”
晏雯晓似乎很惊讶：“你去香山干什么？”
伊涛回答：“跟朋友一起吃个饭。”
晏雯晓“哦”了一声，沉默了一会儿：“我回家等你，你别着急，慢慢跟朋友喝吧！”
伊涛环视了一下在座的三个人的表情，故意说：“我知道，我很快就回来。”他特地用了个回来。
收了线，张安钊嘿嘿地冷笑着：“人家急了吧？”
伊涛故意说：“不好意思，我得先走了。女人嘛，有点小性子。”
张安钊看了一眼贾忠安，摇摇头：“看来咱们是不能继续留伊总了，人家有大事啊！”
贾忠安赶紧帮腔：“那是，非常大的事情，搞不好会出人命。”
伊涛感到脸上一热，张安钊看看他，又看看贾忠安，道：“看没看出来，说到点子上了。”
贾忠安一脸坏笑，并不说话，眼睛叽里咕噜地在伊涛的脸上搜索着什么。
张安钊打了个电话，对伊涛说：“好了，不难为你了，女朋友重要，叫司机送你回去。”
林娜在一边看着伊涛，表情有点古怪，伊涛一时不明白这是为什么？
在别墅门口，贾忠安忽然塞给伊涛一个信封：“这是两张邮船的船票，一年内有效，有机会带着女朋友去走走。”
伊涛感到很不好意思，赶紧推辞：“这不好吧，贾总？”
张安钊在一旁按住伊涛的手：“贾总的一点意思，收下吧！”
林娜在一旁插了一句：“伊总，你收下吧！贾总对别人可不是这么大方的。”语气里有点讥讽，伊涛以为这有可能是贾忠安平时对林娜比较苛刻吧，也没多往深处想。
车子还是原来那部，司机还是那个司机。车子在山路上转来转去，伊涛只看见前面不断扑来的大树，却看不到两旁的任何景色。可能是车子太快，他忽然有点恶心，但是他不能表现出来，只好强忍着，任凭胃里翻江倒海。直到车子上了五环，司机似乎才发现他的不对劲，对他说：“旁边有个冰箱，里面有饮料，你喝点吧！”
伊涛打开手边的一个车载冰箱，发现里面都是外国的饮料。他想了想，拿了一瓶法国的依云矿泉水，也许这瓶水是冰箱里最便宜的饮料吧？喝了几口水，伊涛的胃里才逐渐舒服了一些，抬头看看司机，他正襟危坐，认真地开着车，甚至没有看过一眼旁边的导航显示屏。这些人受过专业训练，记忆力非凡，导航对他们几乎就是个摆设。
车转进晏雯晓的家门，令他意外的是，晏雯晓、黄小燕还有另外一个助理正坐在院子里聊天，看见车子进来，三个人不由得都站了起来。
车子静静地开走，伊涛走向三个人，晏雯晓看着那部辉腾的尾灯消失在一片树林的后面，转头面向伊涛，表情煞是诧异，她问：“你朋友是做什么的？怎么能动用这样的车子？”
伊涛走近她低声说：“是张老的孙子请我吃饭。”
晏雯晓恍然大悟地点点头：“怪不得。”但是，她马上又很警觉地问，“你是怎么认识他的？”
伊涛低声回答：“是我们市长的公子介绍的，他们是同学，对了，他跟罗小可是同学。”
晏雯晓一听，马上又皱了皱眉头：“罗小可，怎么哪儿都有她？”
伊涛不止一次看到晏雯晓提到罗小可就不快，现在他基本上可以确定，她们两个一定有什么过节。伊涛坐了下来，看看黄小燕，又看看晏雯晓，她也坐了下来，将右腿搭在左腿上，姿势很是优雅，就像一幅油画。但是，她的脸色明显有些不快，伊涛明白一定是自己提到罗小可让她有些不愉快。本来他想跟晏雯晓解释一下，但碍于黄小燕和另外一个助理在，他不好多说什么，只是默默地喝茶。
晏雯晓若有所思地坐了一会儿，忽然站起来，走到院子另一边的矮墙边打电话，声音不高，表情也很平静，不知道在跟什么人通电话。
黄小燕和助理开始跟伊涛闲聊，聊的都是这次他们在洛杉矶的一些事情，两个人还提到了晏雯晓买了礼物送给她们。但伊涛也不知道什么礼物是买给她俩的，什么礼物是买给乌梅的。
过了好一会儿，晏雯晓走了回来，面色平静地对伊涛说：“走吧，回去睡吧！”
那个晚上，晏雯晓居然没有跟伊涛做爱，只是有一搭没一搭地跟伊涛聊天。谈伊涛的父母将来会不会接受她，会不会对做演员的有偏见，甚至对伊波的婚姻作了许多设想，就是没再提罗小可。
不过，当伊涛谈到安妮要乘自己的飞机回来时，她幽幽地叹口气说：“本来以为在我开工前你能陪我两天，唉，安妮姐回来了，这是大事，你明天还是回去吧！我这两天把那条耽误的广告赶出来，就去横店开工了。你要把安妮姐陪好啊！”
“我会的。”伊涛回答。他忽然想起了贾忠安送给他的船票，下床去拿了出来，递给晏雯晓说，“这是别人送我的，一年内有效，有机会我们一起去吧！”
晏雯晓拿着那两张船票翻过来调过去地看了半天，终于又叹了口气：“伊涛，想想我们俩以后的生活，我真是有点感觉对不起你，总是要聚少离多。这种生活你能坚持吗？”
伊涛伸手搂住晏雯晓的肩膀，低声而温情地说道：“我能坚持，只要你不变。”
晏雯晓无言地把头靠在伊涛的肩头，似乎很无力。伊涛也默默无言，只是手上的力度大了一些。
良久，晏雯晓把那两张船票还给伊涛：“我想了想，恐怕这半年是没有时间了，正好安妮姐回来了，你看她有时间吗？你带她去，别过期了，怪浪费的。”
伊涛一愣，有点没反应过来，半晌才大惑不解地问：“你说什么？你叫我跟安妮姐一起去？孤男寡女的？”
晏雯晓将身体从伊涛的手臂里挣脱，扭头看着伊涛，表情很严肃，她问：“你是不是对安妮姐有好感？”
伊涛脑子里的继电器马上噼噼啪啪响了一阵子：“你的朋友，我肯定有好感了。”
晏雯晓愈加地严肃，脸上的表情很僵硬：“别打岔，老实回答问题。”
伊涛将头往前探了一下，眼睛直视着晏雯晓：“怎么？你觉得我们会做对不起你的事？”
晏雯晓的眼睛一眨不眨地看着伊涛，看着看着，忽然眼睛里涌出两滴大大的泪珠，接下来就是一串。伊涛有点不知所措，伸手去扶她的肩膀，晏雯晓使劲一扭，拒绝了他。伊涛不屈不挠，再一次抓住她，这次她没有躲，相反，她甚至是主动扑到伊涛的怀里，边哭边亲吻着他的胸口，不住地说：“我怕嘛，我怕嘛。”
良久，晏雯晓忽然叹息一声：“哎呀，怎么会吃安妮姐的醋呢？”
伊涛不知道该怎么安慰她，只好用力地拥紧她。伊涛不知道今晚的晏雯晓为什么有如此大的情绪波动，那貌似哀怨实则依恋的表情，那外表冷漠内心如火的激情，如丝地传达着她内心的隐忍和性格的多变。
两个孤独的人相互保护，相互制约，相互问候，这便是爱情。
