In the main hall, the banquet is still going on. Simu's temporary withdrawal will not interfere with the normal progress of the dance, nor will it have even the slightest impact on the cooperation that everyone wants to achieve.
Tao Le was already sitting on a sofa, holding a glass of margarita in his hand.
The taste of this cocktail is fresh and refreshing, with a hint of bitterness, which is very suitable for her now.
It's just that now she is no longer the transparent person she was when she first entered the scene, and many people don't want her to think quietly.
Needless to say, Fu Yujing, who was right in front of him, knew that it was purely a misunderstanding and expressed the wrong feelings. He thought he was a little embarrassed, so he apologized in a hurry and went to find people from Miao Company to discuss cooperation.
Qi Zizai had just met Xi Dong with Lu Li. Although the other party was being polite, it was aimed at Mr. Lu. As for himself, Xi Dong didn't even glance at him from the corner of his eyes.
This made him understand that the other party is the kind of person who attaches great importance to status. He is not of a high level, so he is not taken seriously. This is also human nature. Many industry leaders have this qualification and do not take advantage of others. The young man took it seriously.
But the opening dance just now was really beyond his expectation.
If the light hadn't been shining directly on the two people in the field, he would have almost suspected that he was blinded.
How could that person that Xi Dong said so solemnly, who was extremely special in his heart, be his sister-in-law Tao Le?
The two of them obviously couldn't hit each other in eight poles. How on earth did they know each other, and how did Xi Dong have an extraordinary appreciation for Tao Le?
Of course, like everyone else present, Qi Zizai did not think that Xi Dong had ladylike thoughts for his sister-in-law.
The two of them are completely different in terms of family background and appearance. This dance is enough to break everyone's eyes.
As for the rest, you can even think about it with your toes!
He thought for a moment and then went up to say hello to Tao Le.
When Tao Le saw that it was him, his attitude was much better than that towards Fu Yujing. Seeing that he had something to ask, he simply talked about his apprenticeship and the cooperation between the first hospital and Mio Technology. Deqi Zizai was dubious.
Even if there is cooperation, it's just a one-time relationship. Why is Xi Dong so fond of Tao Le? The "Lele" just said was extremely affectionate. Is this something that a first-time acquaintance can say?
He only turned these questions around in his mind a few times, but did not ask them in the end. He didn't even take this opportunity to reveal the slightest bit of his predicament.
He behaves with a clear distinction between public and private affairs. He will not rush to get attached to Tao Le just because he has a friendship with Xi Mu.
Tao Xingqian had just found out that his daughter had accepted a special appointment from Miao Technology, so he could still sit still; but Tao Zhi was different.
He sat down next to Tao Le and stared at her without saying a word.
Tao Le had no choice but to repeat what he had just said to Qi Zizai, but Tao Zhi was not as easy to fool around as him.
"You mean, you just met once in the first hospital, which lasted only an hour in total, and there were a lot of hospital leaders around you at that time, and then today he singled you out and called you affectionately—— Lele?"
Is this a title that just anyone can call? Tao Zhi felt very unhappy and shook his head: "I don't know who this person is, but I know you."
"My sister, you have always had your own ideas since you were little. No one can force you to do something you don't want to do."
"So, why did you agree to dance with this foreigner?"
Tao Le covered his face with his hands and was speechless. After all, Tao Zhi is his eldest brother, and he really understands his own temperament.
If there was no previous relationship and she really only had a one-time relationship with Ximu, then she would definitely refuse without hesitation.
But at this moment, facing Sister Tao Zhi's eager eyes, she could only sigh in her heart and said hesitantly:
"Well, if I say that I was seduced by Mr. Xi's beauty and lost my mind for a moment, would you believe it?"
Seeing that Tao Zhi was about to retort, she quickly added: "Brother, if you are still unmarried, and suddenly a charming and beautiful young girl with an exquisite figure and a fortune of hundreds of millions takes a fancy to you and invites you to dance in public, you Will you reject her?"
Tao Zhi couldn't help but think about it according to the conditions set by Tao Le. If he had really met such a person when he was single, he would probably have said, "No!"
Tao Zhi stood up and shouted: "Lele, come back here. The question hasn't been clarified yet. Where are you going?"
Tao Le's steps paused for a moment, but he didn't stop at all and went straight into the crowd.
The big brother with all the question marks on his face is so scary! She didn't want to deal with it anymore.
At this moment, Tao Zhi had completely forgotten the reason why he tried every means to squeeze into the banquet with his father, and all he could think about was the way his sister looked in the arms of Xi.
If the other party hadn't slipped away so fast, he would have really wanted to catch up and ask her what he meant to his girl!
No matter how useless he is, he still wants to do his best to protect Lele. As for that Xi Dong, he is simply Qi Dafei, completely unsuitable for his sister!
Tao Zhi drank all the wine in his glass, then stood up and walked towards Tao Le's retreat, but was stopped by a handsome young man with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Tao Zhi? I am Daguan, Xi Dong's assistant." He extended his hand to him enthusiastically.
"You came just in time. I also have something to do with Xi Dong!" Tao Zhi said through his drunkenness.
"Sorry, Director Xi has left the show early because of something important." Daguan apologized: "But he told me that the Qingtuo Studio you founded has great development potential, and he is very optimistic about it."
These words were completely beyond Tao Zhi's expectations.
"Director Xi, does he know about the Qingtuo Studio I run? Is there a mistake?" He asked doubtfully.
How can such a small workshop with a monthly income of several thousand yuan, even if it is euphemistically called a studio, win the attention of executives from multinational corporations?
Daguan laughed: "There is no mistake. It's Qingtuo. A few days ago, someone ordered a flying car model from you - that buyer is our Xi Dong."
Speaking of that flying car, there was no doubt that it was his work, but I didn't expect that the buyer would be Xi Dong in person.
"So can you please move to the second floor? I am entrusted by Director Xi to talk to you about investment cooperation?"
Tao Le didn't know that his elder brother had been invited upstairs, and he happily talked about cooperation with others, without any thoughts of asking Xi Mu Xingshi to accuse him just now.
Because of that glass of margarita, she was now drunk again, her face was tinged with a light pink color, and she was walking towards the dining area step by step.
Probably because the dance just now consumed a lot of energy, she was actually hungry again now.
Along the way, many people noticed her. With inquiring curiosity in their eyes, they toasted to her, and Tao Le toasted in return.
A red dress suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking her way.
