"What's going on?" When Shu Tao saw the private jet in front of him, he couldn't believe it, this was a Cirrus SR-22 small private jet, it was only enough to seat four people, compared to Shu Tao's plane, it was simply not worth mentioning.

Li Tian was also stunned and didn't know how to explain.

At this time, a familiar figure got off the plane, and Shu Tao saw that it was Yue Ran. How could it be him?

Yue Ran walked straight towards Shu Tao, revealing his signature charming smile, but in Shu Tao's eyes, he was pretentious.

"How are you?" Shu Tao was surprised, wondering if this was another arranged date arranged by his father, the old fox.

"Mr. Qu specially asked me to accompany you to BJ, his plane is too big to waste."

Shu Tao rolled her eyes and said, "Your plane can only seat four people, how can you bring those old antiques to SH, wake up." ”

"You don't have to worry about this, BJ also has a Legacy 650 jumbo jet parked there, which is enough for thirteen people."

"Thirteen people? The last dinner was because of someone like you, and the number thirteen was made, which led to a fire and almost burned my sister, will you have another plane crash this time? ”

Yue Ran smiled: "There were only twelve people at the table that day, don't be kidding." ”

"My sister has another one in her belly." Shu Tao said angrily.

"Since you're so superstitious, why don't we come back and take this plane and let those painters take Legse 650s?"

Shu Tao thought about it, if it was a real plane crash, this wave of old painters would also deserve it, thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile wickedly: "Okay, let them take that plane, but this one looks so small, will it be more dangerous to be affected by the air current?" ”

Yue Ran said: "This Cirrus SR-22 is a representative of a high-performance aircraft, this single-engine small aircraft can fly at a low altitude of 200 meters, and the four-seat design is very considerate. It is commendable for its full-plane parachute design, even if an accident occurs, the parachute will protect the overall safe landing of this light aircraft, without the pilot parachuting alone, you don't want to parachute down alone. ”

Yue Ran knew that Shu Tao had a slight fear of heights since he was a child, and he stretched out his hand to help Shu Tao get on the plane, but Shu Tao blocked it with one hand.

The captain pulled Shu Tao and Li Tian's luggage to the tail box and put them away, and arranged for them to get on the plane. After a while, the plane glided for a distance and took off off from the ground, Shutao closed his eyes and pretended to be napping and didn't dare to look down.

After the plane entered the stratosphere and stabilized, Shu Tao slowly opened his eyes.

At an altitude of 9,600 meters, the sky was clear outside the cabin, and looking down, thick clouds obscured the land map, and the clouds were as soft as a Versace white beach wool shawl on the legs of a peach.

She didn't look directly at Yue Ran, but looked out the window, half-covering and half-concealing the light plate cut the light into two halves, such a division just darkened her eyes and nose, and the light hit her lower cheeks, a touch of red lips, next to her cheeks that were as white as snow by the light.

And Yue Ran, all the light shields were opened, the bridge of his nose supported Mont Blanc sunglasses, and the penetrating power of his eyes could almost shatter the sunglasses lenses, directly dialyzing Shu Tao's irritability and restlessness at this time, but what he couldn't see through was her heart.

Yue Ran picked up the sweet fruit wine in front of the table, took a sip and said, "It may rain tonight." ”

The chatting tone has always been an icebreaker to break the deadlock of a conversation or cut into an important conversation, but Shumo didn't squeak, but the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing her usual arrogant and contemptuous smile, as if to say, "Even if the lightning and thunder roar, everything is in my control".

"I know what this dinner means to you today...... Yue Ran said openly, trying to play a simple-minded character in front of her who can share her worries.

"It doesn't mean anything, it's all arranged by my father, and these old painters are worthless in my eyes." Shu Tao still didn't turn his head to Yue Ran, as if he was thinking about something.

"Not worth mentioning?" Yue Ran stared at her suspiciously, how could such a woman be willing to give up the golden network of connections that her father had woven for her, "You really don't care what others think of you?" ”

"Not caring, doesn't mean not caring, some things are a hundred times better for others to guess than for others to understand," Shu Tao tried to change the topic, she didn't seem to want to reveal anything about her heart too much, so that the person in front of her who ruined her relationship with Ma Jun could further understand herself, "Do your parents know about your proposal to me?" ”

Yue Ran didn't expect her to suddenly ask about this, so he said, "This ......"

"Hopefully they don't know."

"You know, sometimes you need to keep some secrets from your parents." Yue Ran's words seemed to be insignificant.

"Be your private detective agency well, don't think about something all the time, Yue Ran, I appreciate everything you have done for me, but I don't love you." Shu Tao finally turned his head to look at Yue Ran, and showed a sincere look, "You know, I love Ma Jun, for a moment, I thought that I couldn't live without him, do you know how it feels?" Do you feel that way about me? ”

"This ......" Yue Ran wanted to say that he felt the same way, but Shu Tao interrupted his words again, but it seemed that he had something to say.

"We're like fish living on a coral reef, we know each other and depend on each other, but we can't attract each other, and what I like may be the fish on the opposite reef."

"Book Peach...... I love you just like you love Ma Jun, I don't need you to love me, you love my money is enough. For the rest, that's my business, marry me, okay? ”

Shu Tao smiled helplessly: "There are more people who love your money, but it's a pity that you don't love them, you fall in love with someone who doesn't care about how much money you have!" What's wrong with the world? Do you know...... Yue Ran...... For me, something more expensive and extravagant than money is love. ”

"That's because you already have money, but what about love? Did Ma Jun's kid give it to you, you're just wishful thinking. ”

"Shut up!" Shu Tao was stabbed by Yue Ran, and he didn't hide the resentment in his heart for a while.

"But I can give it to you, trust me."

Shu Tao turned gentle again: "I know you can give it, but I don't need it!" That's right...... I'll give you back the diamond ring when I go back, and you put it away, and it will inevitably come in handy later. ”

"Shu Tao, I won't take back what I gave out, you just treat it as my birthday gift to you, okay?"

Shu Tao took off her Cartier sunglasses and looked at him seriously: "Look, it's all too easy for you, that's why I can't believe that you love me, for you, everything that can be expressed in material things can be called love." It's ridiculous. ”

"Shu Tao, do you want me to die for you, are you willing to believe me?"

"Well, to put it this way...... If there is only one parachute on this plane, if the plane crashes, what will you give me? Or will I use it myself. ”

"However, this plane doesn't need us to have parachutes, because it has a full parachute system. The life I give you, like this plane, is a life without life problems at all, you don't have to worry about these problems, you are safe. ”

Shu Tao couldn't continue this topic anymore, Yue Ran didn't have any qualities that attracted her, he was just an empty shell rich second generation. She really wanted to see what Yue Ran would be like if he was destitute one day, maybe being useless would be more hateful, or maybe this kind of suffering could extract a little bit of the characteristics that attracted Shutao from him.

With half an hour left before the plane landed, Li Tian removed their champagne, Shu Tao put on her Cartier sunglasses, and prepared to go to their pre-booked hotel for a rest, and then go to the Fu Ji Famous Food Club to fight with the old antiques.

Yue Ran's heart was calm at this time, because he knew that this was the beginning of the pursuit of Shutao, and when night fell and the sun rose tomorrow, he would continue to be by Shutao's side, using practical actions to influence her, make her rely on him, and even fall in love with him.

He knew that he had just taken off from completing the ultimate goal, not landing, and he believed that the woman opposite would fall in love with her one day, and what he needed was not an empty title like a white marble vase, not a simple marriage contract, what he wanted was Qu Shutao's deep love for him.

When they arrived at the hotel, they took care of everything, and Li Tian contacted Xu Changzhi and others for dinner together. They came to the booked restaurant in Beijing - Fu Ji Famous Food Club.

This is a bespoke restaurant with a fusion of flavors and exacting ingredients. Because it takes a long time for the chef to prepare the ingredients for the guests, the chef will only create a unique delicacy for the guests if the dishes are requested in advance. But at the same time, it also provides non-customized catering, and Shutao chooses the non-customized series.

Shu Tao saw several painters enter the private room, and got up to greet them. There were seven guests who arrived, and after greeting each other and politely praising Shutao, everyone took their seats.

Shutao sat down and said, "Unfortunately, it's August, and if it's another month, you can eat salmon caught from the Arctic Ocean at more than minus 20 degrees Celsius." Shomo lit a Capri cigarette and continued, "November is also good, when you can eat RB Hokkaido snow crab. ”

Xu Changzhi flipped through the menu. Shu Tao hates him like this, he can't afford to eat a good restaurant on weekdays, and now he is pretending to be elegant and ugly.

"Miss Qu, when I heard what you meant just now, it seemed to imply that we didn't have the right time to eat this meal?" Xu Changzhi glanced at Qu Shutao slyly. Qu Shutao heard Xu Changzhi's displeasure, and casually explained: "I mean it's a dish, and I don't mean anything else." ”

"Oh, it turned out that I was cautious and worried." Xu Changzhi led the other six painters to toast a glass of peach with sweet wine before the meal, "It's just that our paintings have been collected in the Taolei Gallery for decades, and Miss Qu said that she would withdraw it without saying hello to us, which is probably inappropriate." ”

"Teacher Xu, let's have a good meal here, you are biting my trouser leg and not letting go, one of my daughters' family is panicking. No wonder even my dad has to look at your face, today I have a trick! ”

"—What's the main course today?" Xu Changzhi deliberately avoided what Shu Tao said, and instead discussed the recipe.

"GX Special Rare Miniature Wild Pig, my dad said you rarely eat pork, but I think I've only seen pigs run and never eaten pork, that's a big loss! There are some things that I haven't encountered before, but now that I am fortunate enough to encounter them, I will cherish them, so I specially ordered this dish, and I would like to invite you and a few old-timers to try it and give advice. Of course, you appreciate this face and eat this pork, and I will not treat the preferences of your predecessors badly, and I have specially prepared a top three-level RB Matsuzaka beef for you. Shu Tao pointed to the song next to the song, comparing the newcomer to pork, and comparing the old painter to a speech to beef, they had no choice at this time, and which dish to eat was within the intention of Shu Tao.

"What is the main purpose of being here today?" Xu Changzhi could hear that there was something in Shutao's words, and he felt that Mr. Qu's daughter was extraordinary, as if he had been slapped immediately, and he was not convinced.

"I'm sorry to tell you." Shumo said happily.

"Excuse me? What do you mean? ”

"I'm young, and I just want to help people like me. I thought I was afraid that you would not be able to look down on your masterpieces and the works of these unknown juniors to be exhibited together, so I took the initiative to put the works of several famous artists well, but I didn't expect that a few people would have to compete with such nobodies. Blame me Qu Shutao for misunderstanding, I thought you were on top, but I didn't expect you to be so down-to-earth, so this time I deliberately compensated me for your misunderstanding. ”

"Okay, good, worthy of being Mr. Qu's daughter, she speaks with sharp teeth." Although Xu Changzhi showed the demeanor of a general on the surface, he was already so angry that he vomited blood in his heart.

The waiter put together the dishes, "I've still eaten this pork." After speaking, Xu Changzhi and the other six painters used chopsticks to clip a little so-called fragrant pig.

"Since Mr. Xu appreciates the light, then the speaker for the opening of this exhibition is none other than you."

Xu Changzhi's chopsticks stopped at his mouth, he put down the piece of pork, and listened carefully to Shu Tao's words.

"That's right, we just need you to make an opening speech to encourage the new generation of painters to create. I still keep your paintings on the shelf, not in keeping with the vulgar works on display in the gallery this time. What do you think? ”

"But I heard that all of them are senior collectors in the industry this time, and you put our paintings on display, isn't it more of a magic weapon to make money?"

Shu Tao thought, this is what Li Xuan said before that the stinky old nine who can separate four taels of meat from the legs of the heron, completely thinking about money!

"Mr. Xu, your paintings are priceless, and the invitations have been sent, and the exhibited works are also printed on them, if there are a few more irrelevant works temporarily, it seems that we are particularly unprofessional."

"What Miss Qu means is that just like this dish, if it doesn't taste good, you can't change it?" Xu Changzhi began to hate this restaurant, he felt that no matter how expensive this meal was, it was not worth it!

"You can't change it, either you just accept it, or you don't eat it at all, that's all." Qu Shutao showed conceited arrogance. "But I can provide a solution, the palms and backs of our hands are all meat, we are all working for Qutang Real Estate, who doesn't want to achieve a win-win situation?"

"How?" Xu Changzhi was now holding the pair of ivory chopsticks that were raised in the air, and he wanted to throw the chopsticks in Shu Tao's face and poke her eyes blind.

"After a week of the exhibition, I will guarantee that your old paintings will reappear in the gallery, and I will pay for an exclusive interview with the magazine, you must know that these collectors are willing to be repeat customers, maybe your paintings will sell for dozens of times the price of these paintings in the exhibition."

"You mean, let's older artists rub off on the popularity of these young people?"

"It's all about making money, what comes first, you still eat beef, it's very expensive." Shutao let these old painters be followers, Xu Changzhi didn't want to accept it, but he was just a belly of fire, although he also made money, but he lost a lot of face.

But what can I do? The Qu Shutao opposite, like her father, is also an inefficient lamp, these old artists have relied on Qu Tang real estate for so many years, and now they are once a son of heaven and a courtier, if they don't bow down to the new emperor, they may pick up sesame seeds and throw watermelons.

Xu Changzhi sandwiched a slice of pork and a slice of beef into the bowl, which was enough to give Qu Shutao face. Seeing the situation, other old painters also followed Xu Changzhi and made the same move.

Shu Tao breathed a sigh of relief at this time, greeted him with a smile, and shouted to the waiter: "Serve the wine, serve the good wine!" ”
