165. Curse
After a short farewell to Liu Yarong, Aunt Jin and Li Man, Ai Xin returned to the hotel and hastily packed up her things. I didn't bring any luggage, so this trip was easy.
After checking out at the front desk, the car called by the hotel just arrived, Ai Xin glanced back at the hotel gate, and stepped directly into the taxi.
A few days after arriving in T City, Ai Xin got on the plane again.
She also thought that she would feel very relaxed after solving all kinds of problems on the plane back to Beijing. Unexpectedly, this trip back felt heavier and more tired than when I came.
The thought of going back to have so many things to deal with, to solve the company's problems, to reconnect with the financiers who had already refused, to deal with all kinds of contracts and documents......
Not only that, but it is very likely that I will have to work all night tonight, and I don't know if I will have time to sleep tomorrow, and I have to rush to the airport at night, pretend that I have just arrived in Beijing, meet Tong Yu and go out to eat.
For the first time, Ai Xin felt that meeting Tong Yu was such a tiring thing, and she couldn't wait to go home immediately and fall asleep on the bed for a day and a night, just like the kind of lethargy after swallowing a whole bottle of sleeping pills.
What's even more annoying is that not only is the problem that Beijing has to deal with like a mess, but he rushed to T City this time to take care of Liu Yarong, but he didn't even do this thing completely, and he had to ask Li Man to come over to help after taking care of half of it.
All the questions and emotions came together, which made Ai Xin feel doubly frustrated, and the fatigue also surged.
Ai Xin felt that his body was extremely heavy, and although he had so many things on his mind, he fell asleep groggily.
When I woke up, the plane had landed. It seems that he is really tired, and he didn't even feel the bumps, and the passengers who slept directly in business class had already gotten off the plane, and the flight attendant woke up when she came to call herself.
Returning to the familiar Beijing, Ai Xin didn't know whether to be happy or sad, and hurriedly got off the plane with this helpless and tangled mood.
Sure enough, as soon as he walked out of the airport, Ai Xin saw the familiar Maybach.
Tao Li greeted her swaggeringly, and there were many people standing next to her, all the time looking at who this luxury car was coming to pick up, and seeing that it was such a tall and delicate beauty, they all turned their heads, which greatly satisfied their gossip psychology.
"Big brother, in the cold winter, it is still open, are you letting the money burn and get hot?"
"Hey, this isn't picking you up! ”
Tao Li smiled and pressed the button on the car, the roof slowly rose, and the temperature in the car quickly recovered.
"I really don't understand you rich people sometimes, really, if you go to get two words tattooed on your face tomorrow, just tattoo 'rich'!"
"Okay, what are you tattooing?
"Hahahaha......" Ai Xin couldn't hold back his laughter for a while, and quickly patted Tao Li's arm, "Don't be poor, I still have to settle accounts with you." ”
"Ouch, aunt, you should settle the accounts later, focus on the overall situation, the overall situation!"
"The big picture, if it weren't for you...... Forget it, I'm too lazy to bother with you, I'll finish things first, and let you have a good year. When you come back after the New Year, you will have it!"
"Okay, okay, as long as we pass the few levels in front of us, how do you like it, I kneel in the company hall and listen to it!"
"Okay, let's talk about the current situation. ”
"The ......"
Tao Li glanced at Ai Xin with a tired face in the passenger seat with some hesitation, and his Adam's apple moved up and down.
"Or else...... You can sleep for a while, or go back to the office and sleep first, and then talk about it when you wake up. ”
"I'm not that sleepy, just buy a cup of coffee on the way, I can hold it. ”
"No, I'm not worried about your body...... Your current state of mind, I'm afraid I'll finish it...... You're going to kick me out of the car......"
“……”
Ai Xin turned his head and stared straight at Tao Li, looking at it for a long time before he shook his head helplessly and sighed heavily.
"Find a 711 in a moment, go down and buy me a cup of coffee, buy a bottle of soda, and wait until I'm done...... When you go back to the company, you can report to me again. ”
"Okay!"
Tao Li nodded quickly, finally breathing a sigh of relief.
Dare to give an order to Tao Liyi like this, Tao Li is afraid that he can count it on one hand. But Ai Xin is like this, which does not make him feel a little disgusted, but a little more guilty.
If it weren't for herself, Ai Xin would still be enjoying the "family fun" in T City at this time, even if she wants to take care of Liu Yarong, it should be regarded as a hard-won holiday, you can have someone to chat with you, go out for a walk and go shopping, which is not better than rushing back to Beijing in the middle of the night to work all night.
Although Ai Xin did not say the purpose of his trip to T City, but this destination was so anxious to go, and he also told himself that he could not tell anyone, Tao Li simply thought about it, and guessed seven or eight points.
Originally, I thought that Ai Xin had something to do, and this time he trusted himself so much, and entrusted such an important thing to himself, he would definitely be able to take this opportunity to earn performance.
Unexpectedly, it was still messed up, and it was more exaggerated than the previous messup. It's almost like taking a plate of dishes that have already been fried and flavorful, sprinkling all kinds of spices indiscriminately, making it a dark dish that is hard to swallow, and then calling the chef back from his hometown to remedy it.
Tao Li also hated himself for dropping the chain at this critical moment, but many times caring about it is chaotic, the more he cares, the more he wants to make achievements, and the final result is often counterproductive.
This time too......
"Hey, park. ”
Ai Xin suddenly shouted, almost startling Tao Li.
"Ahead, 711, you can park here, what do you want?"
"You didn't sleep?"
Tao Li parked the car and glanced sideways at Ai Xin.
"No, you go, buy a total of two cups of coffee, and then buy more Red Bull, Cola, snacks and everything, I don't think it's early tonight." ”
"Well, got it. ”
Tao Li nodded, seemed to be in a trance, opened the car door and walked to the convenience store.
Ai Xin looked at his back, always a little worried.
Tao Li is not the high-spirited rich second generation when he was in school before, at that time, it seemed that as long as he had the attribute of "rich", he could mix well in school.
Even if many people look down on you behind your back and sneer at you, they can only greet you with a smile because of many unavoidable reasons on the surface.
But society is cruel, if you only have money and no ability, then people who are richer than you will also look down on you, and will not even give you the opportunity to cooperate and work hard.
Especially in this situation, Tao Li left his family and came out to start his own business, and there are many people waiting to see Tao Li's jokes. Not to mention helping a leader, not falling into the well is already considered to be benevolent and righteous.
And behind this, maybe there is Tao Shengyang's power, after all, he has been waiting for Tao Li to defeat the battle and return home in embarrassment, so it is almost impossible to lend a hand.
Even so, Ai Xin still chose to stand by Tao Li's side and accompany him through such difficulties.
Although there are various reasons, Ai Xin still hopes that Tao Li can improve from the bottom of her heart, and she is really worried about Tao Li sometimes.
Tao Li is different from herself, there is no way for her to start working hard at such a young age, if she has to choose, she also wants to be a bastard and wait for death, at least she is a rich daughter who can sit back and relax, but life does not allow her to do this.
But Tao Li, the family has already given the best conditions, and Tao Li doesn't need to make any effort, just be obedient. But Tao Li is unwilling, he wants to work his own, and he wants to make some achievements for these people who look down on him.
It is because of this spirit that Ai Xinda admires Tao Li from the bottom of her heart, even if this is a very irresponsible gamble, Ai Xin still feels that this is the courage she has never had, and she is very envious.
Therefore, even if he may lose all his money, even if he has to work for the rest of his life, even if he can no longer mix in this industry, Ai Xin still chose Tao Li without hesitation.
Look at it this way...... I'm a gambler myself. But others are gambling on money, but she is gambling on life.
"Coffee. ”
Tao Li hung a bulging plastic bag on his left and right wrists, shook the paper bag containing coffee in his hand in front of Ai Xin, and shouted again, only then did he call Ai Xin back in the free state.
"Well, here you go. ”
Ai Xin took out a cup of coffee from the bag and handed it to Tao Li, then took another cup out and drank it in small sips.
Coffee is one of Ai Xin's favorite drinks, and in such a cold winter, drinking a steaming latte, even cheap coffee beans, at this moment seems to be extremely sweet.
"Give it to me, big sister, this ten yuan cup of coffee......
"Do you drink or not?!"
Ai Xin didn't bother to listen to his nonsense, so he interrupted him directly, a pair of fawn-like eyes stared at the ground, and Tao Li immediately took the coffee obediently.
Although Tao Li has a heart that wants to work hard, there are still too many bad things in his body, and just being lazy and lazy is enough to make Tao Li pass by many opportunities.
Therefore, Ai Xin decided that he must correct these problems for Tao Li, and the first step was to change his extravagant style.
"It's not...... What do I think of you, your taste has plummeted now...... You can drink this coffee so vigorously?"
Tao Li took a sip of coffee and looked at Ai Xin a little helplessly.
"I explain to you that you can't understand, there are many things in the world that can't be measured by money, have you ever heard a cross talk called pearl jade white jade soup?"
"What the hell, pearl jade...... I know the white jade soup, steal the saint!"
"I suspect that your brain is as big as a walnut, you can't remember it, but you remember this mess very well, haven't you only watched half an episode of Wulin Gaiden." ”
"Nonsense, I've watched half of the episodes, but I've listened to dozens of episodes, and you've watched it every day at that time......"
According to legend, Zhu Yuanzhang's family was very poor when he was a child, and he never had a full stomach, and then his parents died of the plague and were forced to become monks in the temple. Once, he didn't eat for three days, he was hungry and dizzy, fainted on the street, and was later rescued by a passing beggar, took Zhu Yuanzhang home, and cooked the only piece of tofu and cabbage in the house, as well as a bowl of leftover rice, and gave it to Zhu Yuanzhang to eat. After Zhu Yuanzhang finished eating, he was in high spirits and asked the beggar what he had just eaten, and the beggar joked that it was called 'pearl jade white jade soup'. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang defected to the Red Turban Army, became the emperor, and tasted all the delicious delicacies in the world. Suddenly, one day he was sick and couldn't eat anything, so he remembered the 'pearl jade and white jade soup' he had eaten when he was begging in his hometown, and immediately ordered the imperial chef to make it for him. The chef had no choice but to put pearls, jadeite and white jade together, boil them into soup, and present them to Zhu Yuanzhang. After Zhu Yuanzhang tasted it, he felt that it didn't taste right at all, so he found someone to go back to his hometown to find it, and really found the beggar. Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the beggar to make the pearl jade and white jade soup he ate at that time. The beggar was so happy that he took the ingredients and boiled a pot, and the whole imperial dining room stinked to death. It turned out that what Zhu Yuanzhang ate at that time was a piece of rancid tofu, rotten cabbage and spinach leaves, and pasted rice that had been left for several days. But such a bowl of rancid soup and little water can actually save Zhu Yuanzhang's life, do you say it's magical?"
"Magical. Tao Li nodded seriously, "I didn't even know that you still listened to cross talk." ”
"Can you have a little culture, this is a particularly famous stand-up comedy, Mr. Liu Baorui, do you know?"
"Crosstalk...... He's also from Deyun Club?"
"Alas......"
Ai Xin looked at Tao Li helplessly, sighed heavily again, and shook his head.
"Mr. Liu Baorui is a native of Beijing, studied under Zhang Shouchen, and died in 1968, who do you say appeared first between him and Deyun Club?"
"Gotta get it, I don't bother with your encyclopedia. I sometimes wonder, how do you remember everything you have seen? Why do you remember this thing so clearly when it died?"
Tao Li also looked at Ai Xin helplessly, and from the time he knew each other for a long time, he found that Ai Xin had a memory that was different from ordinary people. As long as you have read something once, you can basically memorize it, especially for numbers.
What impressed him the most was Ai Xin's ability to read books and watch movies and TV series, a book of millions of words, you can read it in two hours, not to mention, as soon as the book is closed, it can be retold with a good plot, this is still a criminal investigation?
The movie is even more excessive, as long as you watch it once, no matter how often you ask, you can say the name of the movie, the plot, the names of the actors and characters, and even many times you can remember the year of release, the distribution company, and what awards you won. Even the classic lines in it can be said at one time.
Tao Li sometimes suspects that Ai Xin is actually an alien who just came to Earth to experience life.
"I don't remember it in particular, but if you put your mind to it when you read it, you can write it down? Just like if you ask me what I ate last week, then I definitely don't remember it, because I didn't care at all. ”
"I think you have such a good memory, it's really a loss to do business, so you should send it to some research institute to do scientific research and contribute to the country. ”
"I'm not going, you think I want to have such a good memory?"
Ai Xin pursed her lips, drank all the coffee in the cup in one gulp, and put the paper cup back into the paper bag.
"You're still not happy, if I had your memory, I would have been crazy with joy a long time ago, and I guess my parents would have to die of happiness. ”
Tao Li shook his head, he had always had some reservations about his memory and even his IQ.
"Really?"
Ai Xin glanced at him sideways, and after a while, he turned his head to look at the night outside the window again.
"I think sometimes it's a curse to have too good a memory. ”
