At eight o'clock, Tao Li finally parked the car and took Ai Xin into the temple. Although it was early in the morning, there was an endless stream of people burning incense and worshipping Buddha. Ai Xin felt a little funny in his heart, they probably all had the same idea as Tao Li, and they would come to pray to God and worship Buddha when they encountered something, but they usually couldn't remember it at all.

No matter what he thinks in his heart, Tao Li is at least a good intention. Besides, Ai Xin felt that this matter was also very necessary, at least in the near future, she didn't want to be too unlucky.

"I'll go buy incense, and you wait here for me for a while. Tao Li gently pushed Ai Xin's arm, and then she reacted, stood in place and nodded.

In less than two minutes, Tao Li walked back, holding two tickets and two packets of incense in his hand.

"Eh, it's not like your style?" Ai Xin looked at the thin incense stick in his hand, she thought that Tao Li would definitely buy the most expensive incense stick.

"The first time I came here, I found that I didn't sell incense, so I bought a ticket and gave incense directly. Tao Li touched his nose and smiled: "It's a bit of the equality of all beings, no matter how rich you are, you have to burn such a simple incense." ”

"Hmm. Ai Xin nodded and took the incense from Tao Li's hand. In her world, all beings have always been equal.

After worshipping the gods and Buddhas of the entire temple, the incense in their hands was burned, and when the two of them came out of the temple, it had been almost two hours. In addition to the large number of people, Ai Xin's extremely complex and pious procedures also consumed a lot of time.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect or what, when they came out of the temple, both of them felt relieved.

"What will you eat later?" Ai Xin was fastening her seat belt while tidying up her appearance in the mirror.

"It's just you, you can still care about this problem at this time. Tao Li thought it was funny and glanced at her in the mirror, "How is it, do you think of who it is?"

"Huh?" Ai Xin was stunned, and Fang Cai didn't think about this question at all: "Worship God sincerely, who has time to think so much." ”

"Okay, it's just so that I'm going to the company and we'll go to dinner again, you think slowly. Tao Li smiled and started the car.

"Okay. Ai Xin nodded, and began to go over and over in his mind about the people he had recently come into contact with.

"I'll go up first, you can wait for me in the car. Tao Li stopped the car, said hello and got out of the car himself.

Ai Xin sat honestly in the car, after all, this is Tao's industry, even if the relationship is good, if Tao Li or Tao Shengyang didn't speak, he wouldn't enter casually.

She is still rummaging through the gossip and comments on Weibo. Even though I knew that clicking on it would only increase the number of readers, I couldn't help but wonder how things were going. Besides, there are too many jokers among netizens this time, and she laughed straight out of several comments.

Just looking at it, she thought of Tong Yulai again. In fact, at this time, she should call Tong Yu to explain this matter. But for some reason, she didn't want to take the initiative to call over. Maybe she didn't want to hear the other party's unanswered voice anymore, or maybe she felt a little tired, but in short, she resisted the urge and sat down in her seat peacefully.

After watching it for a while, she felt a little tired, and she got up too early, so she put her phone aside and prepared to close her eyes and rest. As soon as I closed my eyes, my phone rang.

Ai Xin frowned a little impatiently, most likely because Tao Li called him to help with things or something. But when I picked up the phone, it was a name that Ai Xin didn't expect at all.

"Yo-heh. Tao Li opened the car door and saw Ai Xin sleeping soundly against the car window, and couldn't help laughing.

"Hey?" Ai Xin woke up suddenly, rubbed his eyes, and looked at Tao Li with some embarrassment: "I'm asleep?"

"In less than an hour, you can sleep like this, admire. Tao Li smiled and sat in the car: "Do you want to eat something?"

"Nope. Ai Xin shook his head honestly: "I fell asleep halfway through it." ”

Tao Li sighed and looked at her quite distressedly: "Don't think about it, keep your brain and get down to business." ”

"Oh. Ai Xin nodded and stopped talking.

The car drove for a while, and she looked at Tao Li as if she remembered something: "What did you do in the company just now?"

"What else can I do, contact PR. Tao Li glanced at the rearview mirror and quickly overtook the white car driving at a turtle speed in front: "The statement will be issued in the afternoon, and you can take a look at it then." ”

"People don't have a real hammer, will we declare that it will be too silverless?" Ai Xin was a little worried, and the excessive reaction was likely to be counterproductive.

Tao Li didn't reply, and concentrated on driving all the way, until he stopped at the destination, and then looked at Ai Xin faintly.

"We've discussed this before, right?" Tao Li looked at her.

"What's the problem?" Ai Xin was so furious by his eyes that he couldn't remember what Tao Li was talking about for a while.

"It's okay to be talked about, because that's the process that good people have to go through. But it is not the right of people to be slandered, this is the right of man. Tao Li paused, and looked at Ai Xin seriously: "You still told me this sentence." ”

"Ah, that's it. Ai Xin breathed a sigh of relief and showed a smile, "Don't say it, what I said before makes a lot of sense." ”

"Tsk. Tao Li smacked his lips, opened the car door and got out of the car.

"Huh?" Ai Xin looked at the parking place and was stunned for a moment: "It's rare, Tao Dashao." ”

"Hush. Tao Li didn't bother to look at her, and walked straight into the restaurant.

Ai Xin smiled, his frowning and only saying one word at a time looked quite like Tong Yu.

"A la carte. Tao Li threw the menu in front of Ai Xin.

"Hmm. Ai Xin picked up the menu with a smile and ordered a few of Tao Li's favorite dishes, before looking at him with some interest: "Why did you think of eating Chinese food today." ”

"I want to eat it. Tao Li pursed his lips, not knowing why he still looked unhappy.

"Tao Da Shao, what's wrong with you?" Although Ai Xin didn't know why he was angry, he also knew that he had said something wrong, so he immediately put on a smile and poured green tea into Tao Li's white porcelain cup.

"White-eyed wolf. Tao Li glanced at the tea in the cup, and after a while, he finally picked up the cup and took a sip.

"Don't be angry, I can't remember all the things I've said. It's normal that I can't remember such a big event today. Ai Xin finally reacted, so he smiled and coaxed a few words. Although Tao Li is moody, his temper often comes and goes quickly, and he is still a typical eater of soft rather than hard.

"Hush. Tao Li still rolled his eyes, but the expression on his face finally eased.

"Oh, yes. Ai Xin put the phone on the desktop and looked at Tao Li with some weakness: "Just now, Jinghai called me......

"This kid still dares to call you?" Tao Li heard Jinghai's name, and his brows that were finally relieved furrowed again: "Why are you calling?"

"Nothing. That means you want to date me...... Meet in person. Ai Xin hesitated for a moment, but still omitted the following words.

"Damn!" Tao Li couldn't hold back, and scolded for a while, attracting sideways glances from the guests at the two tables nearby.

"Be quiet!" Ai Xin looked around a little nervously and tugged at Tao Li's sleeve.

"No, what does this guy mean, he wants to meet you on the cusp of the storm, do you want to commit a crime against the wind or do you plan to completely confirm this rumor?" Tao Li was as angry as a bamboo tube pouring beans, and scolded all the complaints he thought in his heart: "I don't care what he wants to do, whether he wants to take the black and red route or hype up and expose it, if he dares to get involved with you again, Lao Tzu told him that he will never appear in this circle again!"

"No, he's not like that. It's just ......" Ai Xin suddenly hesitated halfway through speaking.

"Hurry up, I'm in a hurry!" Tao Li looked at her with wide eyes.

"When he came to me at this time, it occurred to me that there was someone who was probably the initiator. ”

"Who? Jinghai?"

"It's not. Ai Xin sighed: "Xia Zhengyu, the boss of Jinghai Company. ”

"Xia Zhengyu, that old fat man?" Tao Li was stunned for a moment, he had heard a lot of rumors about Xia Zhengyu in school, but he had never cooperated, so naturally he didn't know much.

"No, that old fat man doesn't have anything to do with you, why did he suddenly target you? No...... You don't have the weight to let him do it......" Tao Li was still puzzled.

Ai Xin took a deep breath and told the story of the last time he met Xia Zhengyu alone. After listening, Tao Li showed an expression of sudden realization.

"It's equivalent to saying that this old fat man wants to use you to create a new character for Jinghai, but you don't want to, so he will be angry and the overlord will bow hard?" Tao Li summed up seriously.

"I've found that whatever comes out of your mouth can become another story. Ai Xin rolled her eyes.

But I don't understand, it's a loss to think about it, if you don't get Jinghai right, maybe it's over, and it's not necessarily a good thing for the company. Besides, I still can't figure out how he could go to such great lengths to you. ”

Ai Xin sighed and slowly said what was in her heart.

"First, Jinghai stood up to protect me from the scandal last time, and this time it will be easier to brush up on favorability. Second, the reviews this time are so good, almost all of them are one-sided, proving that someone must have operated it before the press release, the purpose is to use this seemingly exposed scandal to re-establish Jinghai's character, and by the way, brush up a wave of existence for Jinghai's new program. Third, anyway, Jinghai is probably an outcast, but he is just a dead horse playing as a live horse. Even if it's really messed up, it's not a loss-making deal with the flood of bad reviews on the Internet. Ai Xin paused, then took a deep breath and slowly spit out a sentence: "At least, it attacked me." ”

Tao Li nodded as he listened, quickly understanding Ai Xin's words in his mind. When it comes to eating, drinking, and having fun, he is much better at it than Ai Xin. But when it comes to scheming and interpersonal relationships, Ai Xin doesn't know how much higher he is than himself.

"However, even if I offended Xia Zhengyu that day, I still don't feel that I have such a great weight and it is worth him to do this. ”

"If Jinghai is an outcast, then you are not even an outcast. Tao Li smiled, "I remembered something. ”

"What's wrong?" Ai Xin looked at him with some interest.

"I used to listen to it at school, you know that Xia Zhengyu's current wife is an actor who is a few years younger than him, right?"

"Yes. Ai Xin nodded: "I was very popular when I first debuted, didn't I marry Xia Zhengyu after acting for a few years? ”

"Hmm. But before this woman, when the dead fat man was still in school, it is said that he chased a woman from the acting department at that time. Tao Li said a name that was a long time ago, and Ai Xin recalled that she was probably an actress at that time, and there should be no fire, otherwise she must have an impression.

"I heard the older generation talk about it, that girl has been dancing since elementary school, and she has a crush on a young teacher in the department, and her heart is very high, so naturally she doesn't look down on Xia Zhengyu. You see that Xia Zhengyu is so rich now, and it doesn't look very good, and when he was in school, he must be more ordinary, and I must be embarrassed to talk to people if it's me. As a result, people were so confident that they went to the department to confess, and gave the girl a love letter and bought food. ”

"Flutter. Ai Xin couldn't help laughing, "This is really our professional demeanor, and our skin is thick enough." ”

"Yes, otherwise people can achieve great things. Tao Li nodded.

"What about after the confession?" Ai Xin was suddenly very interested in Xia Zhengyu's old news.

The girl's meaning was very clear, so she said that Xia Zhengyu wanted to eat swan meat. not only rejected him very seriously, but it is said that Xia Zhengyu's love letter was also announced to the department. Tao Li suddenly paused, lowered his voice, and looked at Ai Xin a little mysteriously: "It is said that at that time, Xia Zhengyu walked on the road and someone went up to ask him if he really confessed, and the department almost gave a punishment for harassing a female classmate." ”

Ai Xin's body suddenly froze, and a thought flashed through his mind, and then he took root here, unable to disperse for a long time. She was now very sure that it was entirely possible for Xia Zhengyu to target herself so heavily. Facing the biggest shame and flaw in his life, when he is poked again, even if he is as successful as Xia Zhengyu, he may not be able to help but be annoyed and angry, not to mention that he himself is a person who holds great grudges.

"The female classmate...... What happened later?" Ai Xin asked again.

"Dead. Tao Li took a sip of tea and gently spit out two words.

"Dead?!" Ai Xin was stunned, he didn't expect the situation to develop so quickly and ...... Against all odds.

"Hmm. Tao Li nodded, "It was said that he married a wealthy businessman after graduation, and later died unexpectedly, and some people said that it was domestic violence, which is not very clear." ”

"Oh. Ai Xin replied softly, remembering a woman she was extremely familiar with. Her life can be summed up in the same eight words: "The heart is higher than the sky, and the life is thinner than paper".

"What do you think, let's eat. Tao Li pointed to the plate on the table.

He looked at Ai's distracted appearance, and couldn't help but bow his head and smile bitterly. Probably Ai Xin won't remember, the first time they went out to eat together was this restaurant.
