Chapter 679: The dove occupies the magpie's nest
"I stole a box of clothes and shoes from Erin, and then bought a plane ticket and secretly came to you, you have to face me, she has so many clothes, but she still refuses to lend me a few to wear, I don't even have new clothes for the holidays!" Katie rightly complained about her sister's unrighteous behavior, then threw the box away, and ran back to the house herself.
"I said, how come your brain is still stuck in the intelligence of a 10-year-old! How old is this, and still playing the runaway set! You didn't have any clothes to come to Beijing and ask me for money, I'll buy it for you, what did you wear when you stole Erin! Did you tell Sam? Hong Tao really couldn't cry or laugh, when he met such a sister-in-law, although he said that he was very cute, but this temper was too bad, and he could still get a lawyer's license with this virtue, Hong Tao was very suspicious that the entry standards of the American legal profession were set too low.
"You go call Erin, I didn't tell them, by the way, you asked Erin to return my credit card, I bought the ticket with my credit card...... Hong Tao!! Whose clothes are this! And these boots! Who's in your bathroom! …… Who are you! Get out! Katie fell on the sofa as she spoke, but in less than 2 seconds, when Hong Tao entered the door with two large boxes, she suddenly jumped up again, pointed to the blue down jacket on the hanger and a pair of white women's high boots underneath and shouted, and then ran into the back room barefoot, and after seeing someone in the bathroom, she opened the bathroom door.
"Hey! Hello, are you Erin or Katie? I guess you're Katie, what? Don't know me anymore? "Pan, the vixen, didn't lock the bathroom door when he took a bath, and was pulled open by Katie. However, Pan was calm, and while using the shower to his body, he also gave a free hand to greet Katie.
"You're the one...... That one...... That one! How did you end up here? What is the relationship between you and Hong Tao! Why in the bathroom of his house, and still not lock the door! After Katie saw Pan, she was stunned for a few seconds, probably she didn't expect that there was a bald white woman inside, and she was so calm.
"Katie. Don't swear, this is Pan, she just came from Germany in the afternoon and lives with me by the way. Hong Tao saw that the two women met in this situation, and his heart was also trembling, for fear of causing some misunderstanding.
"I'm going to call Erin, you're going to be out of luck! Hum! Katie listened to Hong Tao's words, obviously not very convinced, and didn't even close the bathroom door, and went directly to the outhouse to find the phone. When she walked in front of Hong Tao, she deliberately snorted heavily to express her dissatisfaction.
"Alas...... You ......" Hong Tao didn't expect Katie to call Erin, if she was asked to say any subjective understanding on the phone, this matter would be really big.
"Let her fight, I'll go and tell Erin in a moment, now close the door for me first, or will you take a few more looks?" Pan spoke at this point.
"......" Hong Tao really glanced at Pan, and then closed the bathroom door for her.
A few minutes later. Pan walked out of the bathroom, dressed in a set of women's pajamas, which Hong Tao bought for Erin. Katie was on the phone talking to Erin about what she had heard and seen, but she hadn't really added much to it.
"Give me the phone. I explained to your sister that we are also friends. Pan walked over and stretched out his hand.
"......" Katie gave Pan a wary look, then handed the phone to Pan.
"Okay, I'll explain it to your sister. Actually, you shouldn't blame me, you should blame Hong Tao, who gave him only a bedroom and a bathroom. Pan went straight to the bedroom with the phone. And closed the door, and after a while, came out again, and handed the phone to Katie.
Katie took the phone suspiciously, said a few more words to Erin, and then handed the phone to Hong Tao. Erin didn't say much about Hong Tao and Pan's unclear questions on the phone, but asked about Hong Tao's plan. At the beginning, Hong Tao had briefly mentioned this matter to her, but there was no in-depth discussion, and Hong Tao planned to discuss it formally with Erin after the matter was almost clear.
But Erin didn't think so, she felt that Hong Tao had made a big mistake, even more serious than an extramarital affair. Because Hong Tao had already started to implement what he thought was feasible without consulting her, it was a sign of distrust and disrespect, especially since she actually learned about it from outsiders, which made her very angry!
This time it was Hong Tao's turn to take the phone to the bedroom and close the door to whisper, he was not used to talking softly to Erin in front of outsiders, apologizing or something, and he was not used to coaxing his wife in front of others. After more than ten minutes of in-depth review and digging deep into the root of his thoughts, Hong Tao finally calmed Erin's anger with a neat mouth.
Erin has a habit that Hong Tao values very much, that is, when she says angry, she is really angry, and if she says not to be angry or forgive you, then she is really not angry, and she will not mention this matter again in the future. Usually European and American women are like this, they generally don't look for accounts, and they don't use anger to be coquettish, which is in stark contrast to Chinese girls.
After leveling Erin's side, Hong Tao hurriedly came out of the bedroom, intending to settle the confrontation between Katie and Pan. He can't afford to mess with any of these two, one is the key person in his plan, and the other is a sister-in-law with a leg, looking at the way they looked just now, especially Katie's appearance, it is the greatest gift to himself to be able to stop fighting during the time he was on the phone.
But Hong Tao guessed wrong, when he walked out of the bedroom, Katie and Pan were sitting on the sofa chatting hotly, the topic was Pan's skin care products, because he had just taken a shower, Pan took out a huge makeup box, and was wiping things on his body and face, while wiping it back to Katie to explain the efficacy and use of each product, Katie was stunned, and her eyes were full of little stars.
"Let's go, let's go to the bedroom, you also go take a shower, and then try these products, if you feel good, let Hong Tao buy it for you, he is very rich!" Pan saw Hong Tao come out, pulled Katie up and walked into the bedroom, and dug a big hole for Hong Tao before closing the door.
"Katie! You'd better not try it, I can't afford it even if it works! As soon as Hong Tao heard that he was asked to buy cosmetics, his heart twitched, the cosmetics used by Pan were definitely not bargains, so let him buy them for Katie? Grandmother!
It's a pity that after he finished shouting, there was no movement in the bedroom at all, and people didn't listen to him at all. Hong Tao didn't want to talk to them about these trivial things anymore, he was already very satisfied that he didn't make a fuss today, especially Erin could believe in him 100%, which made him feel a sense of accomplishment. Since the two pieces of goods have been reconciled temporarily, Hong Tao is happy to be quiet, and he sits in front of the computer to find the reservoir information he needs.
After tossing for half a night, Hong Tao flipped through countless web pages, but his understanding of these two reservoirs was only superficial, and there was not much such in-depth information on the Internet. Now it can be found that the situation is like this, Taolinkou Reservoir already has a contractor, surnamed Ma; However, it seems that there is no contractor for the Jinhai Lake Reservoir, and it is still managed by the management office.
Compared with these two reservoirs, Hong Tao prefers Taolinkou in his heart, after all, he was struck by lightning in that place in his previous life, and the big carp also lived there. Even if it is not for anything else, in order to thank the big carp for the gift to him, he should also protect the water quality and environment there, so that it can have a good living environment.
However, the area of the Taolinkou Reservoir is too large, the basin is too wide, the distance is even farther, and it is not under the jurisdiction of Beijing, so I basically can't use this limited relationship, and everything is unfamiliar after arriving there. Although Pan may be able to help establish a new network in the local area, it also means that the investment will be much larger than that of Jinhai Lake, and even if the rent is cheaper than that of Jinhai Lake, the investment in the later stage will be a large number.
In the end, Hong Tao didn't figure out whether it was better to choose Taolinkou Reservoir or Jinhai Lake Reservoir. In addition, he has not yet figured out what the situation of these two reservoirs is, and with this pitiful information in his hand, there is no reference value at all. Hong Tao decided to go to bed first, and call Bai Lu, a fishing friend who was in the newspaper office of the Ministry of Water Resources, for help early tomorrow morning, and wait until the information of the two reservoirs is complete, and then go to the comprehensive consideration.
Hong Tao felt as if he had just fallen asleep in a daze, but there was movement in the room again, and the two women first learned about it in the bedroom, and then ran to the living room, like two mice, without stopping for a moment.
"I said two, if you wake up, go and stay in the next yard, there is no one there, the key is on the windowsill." Hong Tao wanted to fall asleep quickly, but the more he wanted to sleep, the more sensitive his ears became, and the more harsh the sound the two of them made. In desperation, Hong Tao had no choice but to close his eyes and open his mouth to speak, planning to spend them first.
"So you're awake, so don't sleep, go for a run with us, don't you run every morning? Get up, get up! It's okay not to speak, Hong Tao's voice, Katie immediately came over, pulled her ears and pinched her nose, and she had to toss Hong Tao.
"Oops...... It's just half past six, and I've only been lying down for 2 hours, what kind of steps are I running! Hong Tao let Katie do this, it was really impossible to sleep, although the eyelids were heavy, but there was no sleepiness at all, I had to open my eyes, only to see Pan and Katie were wearing thick gymnastics uniforms, and their whole bodies were tense, which made Hong Tao's already dry eyes even more uncomfortable......
"You stayed up late last night? Still thinking about your reservoir? What are they? Pan picked up a wad of printer paper on her computer desk, looked at it, and handed it to Katie, her Chinese level was still at parroting level, and she couldn't read most Chinese words. (To be continued......)
