Chapter 25: Give Me a Reward
Jiang Jinchen carried Tao Tao's bag in his left hand and Tao Tao's hand in his right hand, and the two of them walked slowly along the roadside like this.
The sun was about to set, and the afterglow of the setting sun was sprinkled on the shoulders of the two people, crossing a layer of golden light.
Tao Tao's small head is now full of big doubts.
She was very curious about the woman just now.
Dressed in a cheongsam, with long hair, blood-colored lipstick, and an ancient ring.
These strange features perfectly portray the woman's appearance.
Jiang Jinchen lowered his head and looked at Tao Tao, who was frowning and not looking at the road, but was seriously thinking about the problem, and smiled at the corners of his mouth.
"If there's anything you want to ask, just ask."
Jiang Jinchen looked at the little face that seemed to be wrinkled into a bun, and finally couldn't help but say this.
Ah, Miss Momoko, who is serious about her questions, is also very cute.
Jiang Jinchen risked his heart, and his whole person almost boiled again.
“……”
Tao Tao raised his head when he heard the sound and saw Jiang Jinchen's appearance as if he had lost his mind.
Then she pouted.
"I'd like to ask, the woman just now."
Although Tao Tao looked disgusted, Jiang Jinchen was the only one who could solve her current question, so ......
Tao Tao decided that out of sight and out of mind.
She took her eyes off Jiang Jinchen's face, and then looked at the flowers and plants on the side of the road.
Well, it's much more pleasing to the eye.
"Hahaha."
Jiang Jinchen looked at Tao Tao's awkward little expression, and his smile was blindless.
"You mean Li Huan?"
Jiang Jinchen stopped as he spoke, and then pulled Tao Tao and the two of them to sit on the chair on the side of the road together.
Tao Tao looked at him suspiciously.
"Uh, I'm tired, rest for a while."
Jiang Jinchen coughed twice in embarrassment, then looked ahead and refused to make eye contact with Tao Tao.
……
Tao Tao looked him up and down speechlessly, and then silently complained in his heart about why his body was so weak.
"Hmm...... Then tell me about her. ”
Don't be tough with Jiang Jinchen, because it is yourself who suffers.
Tao Tao quickly opened the topic.
"The woman just now is called Li Huan, a few years older than you, she came to work in our company five years ago."
Jiang Jinchen leaned back in the chair relaxedly as he spoke, put his arms behind his head, and then closed his eyes to feel the residual warmth of the sun.
Tao Tao glanced at him, followed his example, leaned back in his chair and looked at the golden sky, and then listened quietly.
"When she first came to the company, it caused a lot of sensation. At that time, rumors and deeds about her spread from the domestic head office to the foreign branch overnight. ”
"Her background is very mysterious, my dad recruited her directly, I once asked my dad about her, but nothing came out."
"Did she do something weird that caused a stir?"
Tao Tao asked suspiciously.
"You may not believe it."
Jiang Jinchen opened his eyes, then turned his head sideways to look at Tao Taoshen and said mysteriously.
"We all doubt she's magical."
"Huh? Black art? ”
Tao Tao sat up suddenly, and then stared at Jiang Jinchen with a serious face with big eyes.
Really?
Tao Tao was frightened.
"Of course, this is just our guess."
Jiang Jinchen looked at the panicked Tao Tao, and then touched her head with a smile.
"Listen to me."
"At that time, she was mainly responsible for meeting with clients to negotiate contracts."
Jiang Jinchen motioned Tao Tao not to be so nervous, and then the two of them leaned back into their chairs.
"During that time, we didn't know who we offended, and we were always robbed of a lot of business by a mysterious company. Those customers who were supposed to work with us suddenly ran away somewhere else for no apparent reason. ”
"After this incident, we also tried to investigate the whereabouts of those customers, but ...... But it was as if they were missing, and no one could find them. ”
"Missing?"
Tao Tao trembled.
"yes, missing."
Jiang Jinchen sighed.
"It's really all missing, more than a dozen people are missing together."
"After this happened, I rushed back overnight, and the employees in the company panicked. Actually, I was also panicked because it was so weird. ”
"And then?"
"Later, I went to my dad. Because at that time, I was really powerless, trying to calm the emotions of the employees and deal with the financial losses of our company at the same time. ”
"So in desperation, I had to go to my dad to discuss a countermeasure."
When Jiang Jinchen said this, he suddenly turned his head to look at Tao Tao.
"Miss Momoko, what I'm going to say next may cause you extreme discomfort, are you sure you want to listen?"
Tao Tao also turned his head after hearing this, looking at Jiang Jinchen's face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"Are you laughing at me for being cowardly?"
Tao Tao grinded his teeth and questioned him viciously.
"Hahaha, no, no, how is it possible."
After Jiang Jinchen was seen through his thoughts, he began to want to get by.
Tao Tao didn't bother to pay attention to him, she was now desperate to know the end of this story.
"Okay, okay, you can say it, I want to hear it."
Tao Tao pouted.
"Well, well, since you're not afraid, I'll just say that."
Jiang Jinchen took a deep breath and continued.
"After finding my dad, I found that he didn't look flustered at all."
"That's what I find the weirdest part. Such a big thing happened, and he was so calm. ”
"I found out the reason later, because he had already taken a countermeasure. And I have the feeling that he seems to have expected something like this to happen a long time ago. ”
Tao Tao took a deep breath, and she felt that things had gone in an unpredictable direction.
Later, Li Huan appeared.
"She showed up with my dad a week after the accident. As soon as she appeared, it caused a lot of sensation. ”
"Is it because of the way she looks?"
Tao Tao's mind instantly appeared the strange woman wearing a black cheongsam.
"Yes, that's what it did in the first place."
"I was particularly impressed with her because she wore a very eye-catching dark green cheongsam that day."
Speaking of this, Jiang Jinchen suddenly paused.
"Actually, I don't know very much, I just heard from those young girls in our company later, the cheongsam that Li Huan wore that day ......"
When Jiang Jinchen said this, he suddenly stopped talking.
"What's wrong? That cheongsam. ”
Tao Tao looked at him and stopped talking, and asked eagerly.
"It's okay, you say."
Tao Tao thought that maybe Jiang Jinchen was afraid that she would be afraid, so she was struggling with whether to say it or not.
"Alright then, I'll move on."
Jiang Jinchen turned his head to look at Tao Tao and smiled, then continued.
"That dark green cheongsam...... It seems to have been worn by people hundreds of years ago. ”
"What?"
Tao Tao bounced up from the chair again, and then looked at Jiang Jinchen in surprise.
"You can't lie to me, do you?"
Tao Tao was so frightened that her face turned white.
"I didn't lie to you."
Jiang Jinchen looked at Tao Tao's pale little face and began to regret telling her this.
It took Tao Tao a few minutes to calm down, then she swallowed her saliva and continued to listen to Jiang Jinchen.
"There is a little girl in our company whose father is an old professor of archaeology, and she usually learns something about this from her father."
"She told us that the moment she saw the cheongsam, she felt indescribably weird, and she said that the cheongsam looked like an old object from hundreds of years ago."
So she secretly took a picture and sent it to his father.
"The result...... His father said it did look like something hundreds of years old. Moreover, it seems to have appeared in an old photo. ”
"Really, really, is he sure?"
Tao Tao tried to calm his heartbeat.
"At first, it was really uncertain, because his father only looked at the pictures and didn't see the real thing."
"But such an old professor of archaeology, I don't think he can be mistaken."
"And then it did confirm our thinking."
Jiang Jinchen touched his eyebrows, and then continued.
"Remember what I told you about the dozen or so missing customers? On that day, on the day Li Huan first arrived at the company, they all appeared one after another. ”
"This, this is indeed ......"
Tao Tao gasped.
Then, what is even more bizarre is that she actually asked to communicate with them one by one, saying that she promised to get the business back.
"My dad didn't even have the slightest suspicion. He arranged it right away. ”
"You should be able to guess the outcome."
Jiang Jinchen sighed.
"The result...... She's made it, hasn't she? ”
Tao Tao told his guess.
"Yes, she succeeded, and none of them fell down, and they all talked about it."
"So, haven't all of you failed to see what's in the room?"
Tao Tao asked suspiciously.
"yes, I didn't see it."
Jiang Jinchen still looked up at the sky.
"So from then on, she stayed in the company as a matter of course."
"Then I went back abroad and didn't spend time with her. But I heard from people around me that she was really a very strange woman. ”
When Jiang Jinchen said this, he turned his head and looked at Tao Tao very seriously.
"You know, I'm so scared that she'll know you."
"The farther away from her is the better."
Tao Tao looked at Jiang Jinchen with a worried face, and then smiled.
"It's okay, I don't still have you."
As soon as Tao Tao finished speaking, he suddenly reacted that something was wrong.
She blushed instantly, then lowered her head in an effort to reduce her presence.
"Hahaha, my dear Miss Peach is really so cute."
Jiang Jinchen looked at Tao Tao's embarrassed appearance and smiled and bent his eyes.
"Yes, you still have me, don't be afraid."
After Jiang Jinchen finished speaking, he opened his arms and hugged the red-faced girl in front of him tightly in his arms.
The two of them chatted for a while, and then Jiang Jinchen saw that it was getting late, so he drove Tao Tao back to the dormitory.
Because the school is closer to the company than home, Tao Tao chose to continue to live in the dormitory.
She made a phone call to her family, and Tao Tao's mother carefully told Tao Tao a few words on the phone, and then agreed.
Tao Tao looked at the lights of thousands of homes outside through the car window and fell into silence.
She actually lives with her mother.
Tao Tao's father and mother divorced when she was very young.
The reason is simple, because it is not suitable.
Tao Tao's mother is a very gentle and virtuous woman, she is a college student who graduated from a prestigious school, and in their time, she can actually find a man who is also highly educated.
But her mother fell in love with a young man who worked for someone else.
Such a door is not right, Tao Tao's grandfather completely disagrees.
But they couldn't resist their daughter, and in the end they could only watch their daughter run away with the man to a city far away from them.
What happened afterwards is actually easy to guess.
The two of them can finally live together every day, but after getting along for a long time, they find that there are so many contradictions between them.
And so they began to quarrel day after day.
But Tao Tao's mother didn't think it was a big deal, she felt that it was normal for husband and wife to quarrel.
But she still underestimated Tao Tao's father's dignity as a man.
He watched Tao Tao's mother sit in the office working in a bright dress every day, while he wandered between the construction sites with a gray face.
Then the man said to the woman, let's separate.
In the end, the man, who seemed to be ten years old after being devastated by life, turned his head to look at his peaceful daughter who was sleeping in his mother's arms, held back tears, and disappeared in front of them.
Jiang Jinchen looked at Tao Tao who was motionless while driving the car, and then coughed twice.
"Ahem."
"Huh?"
Tao Tao was suddenly pulled back to reality by these two coughs.
"What's wrong?"
Tao Tao turned his head to look at Jiang Jinchen.
"Why do you always love to be in a daze."
Jiang Jinchen looked at Tao Tao gently, and then smiled.
"How can I ......?"
Tao Tao knew that he was wrong, but he still defended himself quietly.
"Uh-huh, yes, you don't."
Jiang Jinchen sighed twice, and then continued.
"You're just out of your body."
……
Tao Tao glared at the man who was in his eyes, and then snorted.
"You care about me."
Yes, it's tsundere.
Miss Peach, who is tsundere, is also cute.
As a result, Tao Tao kept trembling in Jiang Jinchen's heart and eyes.
"Hey! You look at the road carefully......"
Tao Tao thought that if she could get home smoothly today, she would definitely go to burn incense for the Bodhisattva.
They did arrive safely.
Jiang Jinchen parked the car at the school gate, then turned his head and stared at Tao Tao intently.
“……”
"What are you doing?"
Tao Tao was stared at and felt uncomfortable.
"Are you having fun today?"
Jiang Jinchen asked Tao Tao a question.
Forehead......
What should I say?
Tao Tao suddenly choked up.
It's fun to say it's fun, after all, I went to the aquarium and went to the picnic.
But......
Tao Tao's mind lingered with the woman named Li Huan.
It's over, what do I say?
If I say that at the end of the day today, what impressed me the most was the woman who only appeared for a few minutes, not Jiang Jinchen, who accompanied me for a day and talked with me for a day.
Am I going to be killed?
Tao Tao swallowed his saliva, and then looked at Jiang Jinchen with a sincere face.
"Hmmm......"
Tao Tao decided to be on the safe side.
"Of course I'm very happy today."
Tao Tao grinned, and then continued.
"Of course I'm happy, President Jiang Da, took a day out of his busy schedule to accompany me, took me to the aquarium, took me to a picnic, and took me for a walk."
Tao Tao's little mouth seemed to be smeared with honey at this time, and he said in a baba manner, which made Jiang Jinchen smile and bend his eyes.
Look at your little bit of interest......
Tao Taopi complained in his heart without smiling......
"Hahaha, that's great, it's my greatest honor to make Miss Momoko happy."
……
You look at it, you look at it, Jiang Jinchen's mouth is smeared with honey......
Tao Tao was speechless.
"Well, then ...... then"
Jiang Jinchen suddenly withdrew his smile, then approached Tao Tao and stretched out a finger to tap his face.
"Huh?"
Tao Tao looked at his movements in a daze, and then complained about what Jiang Jinchen was smoking.
"Since I made Miss Peach so happy today, shouldn't Miss Peach give me a little reward?"
Jiang Jinchen looked at Tao Tao Tao with a wicked smile on his face.
"That...... Can I refuse? ”
Tao Tao wanted to cry without tears and looked at Jiang Jinchen's fingers that seemed to be cramping and had been frantically pressing his face.
"No, you can't."
Jiang Jinchen's eyes narrowed.
Sure enough, the squinting eyes were all monsters.
Tao Tao looked at Jiang Jinchen's white and tender face, and then sighed that his skin was even better than his own.
Well......
What would it be like to kiss it?
Tao Tao was chilled by his thoughts and shook his head.
She took a deep breath, then closed her eyes and stuck her head over as if she were dead.
Jiang Jinchen suddenly smelled a sweet aroma, and then he felt a soft lip on his face.
It's so sweet.
His Miss Peach, even the kiss is sweet.
Then, when Jiang Jinchen was squinting his eyes and intoxicated, Tao Tao ran out in a puff of smoke.
As soon as Jiang Jinchen opened his eyes from the fond memories, he immediately saw an even more tragic truth.
……
It turned out that she was even more shy than she thought.
Jiang Jinchen looked at the small figure that was getting farther and farther away from him, and smiled at the corners of his mouth.
Tao Tao returned to the bedroom and turned on the light and rushed to the bed.
She covered her face and squirmed on the bed.
What the hell, this dog man is flirting with me again.
Tao Tao felt as if she was smoking, and her whole body was steaming.
It's over, it's over.
Tao Tao thought in her heart.
I'm not really going to plant it, am I?
No, I'll have to figure it out.
However, before Tao Tao could make a future battle plan, she heard her mobile phone ringing.
Huh? Is it Jiang Jinchen?
Tao Tao went all over the phone from the bag, and then clicked on it to take a look.
She found out that it was a friend request from a chat app.
She unlocked the screen and clicked in.
……
After reading the content clearly, Tao Tao suddenly threw away the phone, then sat up from the bed and walked back and forth on the ground a few steps.
Immediately afterward, she rubbed her eyes vigorously and shook her head.
After doing this, she picked up her phone again with a shudder, and looked at the interface of her friend's request with wide eyes.
I saw a few huge words printed on the screen, which almost made Tao Tao leave this beautiful world.
XIAO Qiong,
Request to be added as a friend.
