Tao Bao sighed again and said depressedly: "I lost Sister Meng's car, and there is a painting of Li Ruidong on the car, I was originally going to send a painting to my father." As a result, on the way, I suddenly had diarrhea, and then I stopped next to a public toilet, and I was in such a hurry that I forgot to pull out the car keys. By the time I went to the bathroom, the car was gone. There is no surveillance around here. Hey, I'm really not enough to achieve and more than to lose. ”

"Did you call the police?" Xia Xue asked.

"Call the police. I don't know if I can find the car. Even if you find the car, I'm afraid you won't be able to get Li Ruidong's painting back. I deliberately bought a delicate box, as long as the car thief is not stupid, he must know that the painting is more precious. The car is a big target and easy to track. If I were a car thief, I would have abandoned the car and walked away. ”

"Hmm. This is indeed a high probability event. Xia Xue thought for a moment, and then said, "Does my brother-in-law have a picture of that painting?"

"Yes, yes. But the photos are useless, I can't send the photos to him on WeChat, and say, 'Dad, this is the painting I gave you, the real work of Mr. Li Ruidong'." Dad would definitely beat me up with a feather duster. ”

Tao Bao sighed: "The point is, I also told my father in advance, and I prepared a big gift." It's good, embarrassing. ”

"Show me the photos. Xia Xue said again.

Tao Bao took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and while clicking on the album, he said: "During this time, Mom, Qingqing, Sister Meng, many people called, but I didn't have the face to answer. Oh, it's the painting. ”

Xia Xue glanced at it: "Ink painting is not too complicated, I can copy it." ”

"One of the major characteristics of Li Ruidong's paintings is their delicacy. Let's just say that this painting, although it is his improvisation, but you look at the fairy aura swirling in the mountains, it looks like the real thing. ”

Xia Xue said, "Hmm." When it comes to creating, I naturally can't compare to Mr. Li Ruidong. But if it's just copying, I don't think it's a problem. ”

"Uh..."Although Tao Bao is still questioning in his heart, there is no other way to make up for it now, who calls himself already talking about it.

Xia Xue looked at the time, and then said, "Let's go pick up Aunt Qingqing first." ”

Subsequently, Xia Xue drove the car to the Alice Hotel.

Alice Hotel is the only super five-star hotel in Donghai and is the main asset of Shangguan Group in Donghai.

At present, Shangguan Mei is trying to exclude Shangguan Lingyun's father, Shangguan Zhi, from the family business group through a large-scale operation, and the dust has basically settled.

This Alice Hotel was originally the 'self-reserved land' of Shangguan Zhi and Shangguan Lingyun, but I am afraid it will be difficult to keep.

However, when Tao Bao saw that Shangguan Lingyun was in the banquet that Murong Qingqing attended, he vaguely guessed something.

Murong Qingqing probably stood on Shangguan Lingyun's side.

From Tao Baozhi's view, he was not very in favor of participating in the internal struggle of the Shangguan family.

However, since this is his mother's choice, he is inconvenient to say anything.

For now, Qingqing Group is still owned by Murong Qingqing.

Seeing that Tao Bao also came to pick him up, Murong Qingqing was obviously a little surprised.

Someone reacted faster than him, though.

Before Murong Qingqing could speak, Shangguan Lingyun had already come to Tao Bao's side and said with a smile: "Tao Bao, long time no see." ”

Tao Bao looked at Shangguan Lingyun and sighed in his heart.

Compared with the last time he met Shangguan Lingyun, today's Shangguan Lingyun is obviously haggard and has a lot of vicissitudes.

However, the feeling for Tao Bao was unexpectedly much more comfortable.

It's not that Tao Bao likes to watch others fall into trouble, but Shangguan Lingyun has really changed.

Although Shangguan Lingyun was not as domineering and shameless as the three brothers of the Murong family, he also showed his superiority in front of Tao Bao, intentionally or unintentionally, which made Tao Bao, who was born in sling, very unhappy.

But today's Shangguan Lingyun, although he is still a son of a wealthy family and still controls the Alice Hotel, he does not have the sense of superiority of the four young Yanjing in the past.

Not only to Tao Bao, but also to the waiter, it is very gentle.

"Hello. Tao Bao collected his emotions, then stretched out his hand and shook hands with Shangguan Lingyun, and smiled.

Call~

Shangguan Lingyun took a deep breath, then exhaled a breath and smiled slightly bitterly: "Seriously, I really don't want you to see me like this. ”

Tao Bao smiled slightly: "I really like the way you look, you have the feeling of 'being friends'." ”

Shangguan Lingyun tightened his mouth and said after a moment: "Tao Bao, I'm sorry about the ice rain." ”

"You didn't do anything wrong. Tao Bao paused, and then said, "Can this hotel be saved?"

Shangguan Lingyun also looked back at the Alice Hotel, and his expression gradually became serious and serious: "No matter what, I have to keep this hotel." ”

He paused, and then said, "Tao Bao, do you know why it's called Alice Hotel?"

"Speaking of which, I really don't know. Reference to "Alice in Wonderland"?" Tao Bao said.

"Yes. The name I gave. Shangguan Lingyun turned his head to look at Tao Bao: "Have you seen this movie?"

"Well, no, I've just heard of it, it seems to be quite popular. ”

"Alice is an aristocratic girl, she once entered the fairyland when she was nine years old, but ten years later, when she was nineteen, she had forgotten the memory of the nine-year-old fairyland, driven by the social atmosphere, she gradually grew from an innocent and simple little girl to the kind of aristocratic woman that the family expects, without worrying about food and clothing, but living a luxurious life. Later, she gradually realized that this was not the life she wanted, so under the leadership of a little rabbit, after ten years, Alice entered Wonderland again. In this fairytale-like world, Alice gradually regains her memories of ten years ago, and begins to re-examine herself, and finally becomes the kind and simple girl again. Shangguan Lingyun introduced this Hollywood movie to Tao Bao in the language of introduction.

Tao Bao glanced at Shangguan Lingyun and vaguely realized that Shangguan Lingyun was actually hinting that he was the 'Alice' in the movie, who had been lost, but finally found himself.

"Good name. Tao Bao's expression was flat: "It is indeed worth guarding." ”

At this time, Murong Qingqing walked over and said with a smile: "It's really good to see that you guys are getting along well." ”

She looked at Shangguan Lingyun and chuckled again, "You young people should help each other. You will later understand how lucky it is to have a close business partner in this deceitful business world. ”

Shangguan Lingyun heard what Murong Qingqing meant.

She is ready to pass on her assets to Tao Bao, and wants to help Tao Bao in the future.

It can even be said that she chose to help herself today, also to win a business relationship for her son.

"What a mother. And his mother was..."

Shangguan Lingyun clenched his fists, slightly emotional.
