Because Xia Sheng promoted the model properly some time ago, the merchants threw olive branches to the "current generation" and invited cooperation.

Xia Sheng and Hua Tao couldn't be lazy if they wanted to, and they soaked in the company all day.

When she was about to get off work in the evening, Hua Tao finally finished the work at hand and was able to breathe for a while. She hung up the phone to Tao Sihua and asked her about Lin Yancheng's situation.

Xia Hanming said that Lin Yancheng saw the appearance of the person who attacked them, as long as he could come to his senses, it would be conducive to finding out the mastermind behind them.

Tao Sihua's voice was a little hoarse, and he didn't sound very energetic.

"The person hasn't woken up yet, and the doctor said the situation is not optimistic."

"You're still in the hospital?" Hua Tao said worriedly, "You also have to pay attention to your body." ”

"No, I'm at home." Tao Sihua said indifferently, "He only has two hours to visit the patient now, and his family knows about it, so they are all gathered outside the ward, and I don't bother to entertain them." ”

Hua Tao was a little helpless. If she hadn't understood Tao Sihua's cold and hot temperament, she would have thought that she didn't care about Lin Yancheng's life and death.

"By the way," Tao Sihua paused, and then continued, "I have a guest at noon today. ”

Hua Tao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that Tao Sihua's home was also Tao Shenglei's home.

Last night, Tao Shenglei warmly invited Hua Yunruo to his house to live with him. At that time, Hua Tao thought that Tao Shenglei was referring to his property elsewhere.

"What guest ......?" Hua Tao asked tentatively.

She has been worrying a lot lately, just thinking that she has an extra father for no reason, but she neglects that Tao Sihua has an extra stepmother for no reason.

The mood is suddenly so complicated.

"Don't you know this guest too?" Tao Sihua's voice was clear and cold, because she couldn't see her expression, Hua Tao really couldn't guess whether she was happy or angry.

But if the other party asks like this, it must be someone who both parties know, so nine times out of ten it is Hua Yunruo.

That's embarrassing.

Hua Tao always thought that Tao Shenglei wanted to hide her mother's golden house, but she didn't expect it to be not, but to really bring people home.

"So...... So...... You...... Got it? Tao Shenglei blatantly brought people back, and he definitely won't make excuses in a secretive way, and he probably has made it clear directly.

Tao Sihua said indifferently: "My father said everything, but in fact, he didn't say it, and I already knew it." ”

Hua Tao couldn't help but be surprised.

"You already knew? How early? ”

"Sooner than you think, anyway." Tao Sihua smiled softly, "Okay, don't dwell on this, I was even more entangled when I first knew about it, but now I don't feel calm." ”

No, Hua Tao thought to herself, I haven't been able to be calm.

The two of them suddenly fell silent. Hua Tao pinched her phone, and after a long time, she squeezed out a sentence stiffly: "Then you pay attention to rest." ”

Tao Sihua said "um" and didn't speak again.

Hua Tao couldn't think of anything else to say, so she had to say "goodbye" and hang up the phone.

Xia Sheng seemed to be pinching the time to find her, and she put down her phone at this end, and he knocked on the door and came in.

"Would you like to eat out tonight or cook your own home?" He leaned against the door and didn't go in, looking over with a slight smile.

Hua Tao picked up her handbag, turned off the computer, and walked around the desk towards him.

"Cook it yourself, just keep it simple." Cooking has never been her specialty, but since living with Xia Sheng, she has also begun to study his recipes seriously.

If you like someone, you will want to be good to him, spoil him, and take care of him.

It's a bit like having a pet.

Hua Tao is very aware of being a keeper, but unfortunately she failed to trigger the owner's skills, but became the one who was petted and taken care of.

When the two walked hand in hand to take the elevator, they met Wu Yuwen and Qin Ke, who although they did not have any physical contact, they could feel the ambiguity and sweetness between each other just by walking together.

"Little monk, it's just right to see you, my brother is looking for you." Qin Ke went out to meet guests this afternoon, Xia Sheng thought he was gone, but he didn't expect to meet here at this time.

It should have been specially turned back to pick up Wu Yuwen from work together.

"Did you get a sponsor?" Xia Sheng asked with a smile.

At this time, the elevator arrived, but Qin Ke hooked Xia Sheng's shoulder and didn't let him go, turned his head to Hua Tao and said, "You go down with Yuwen first, and I will reimburse him for the afternoon's taxi fee." ”

Hua Tao glanced at him suspiciously, understanding that he must have something to say to Xia Sheng, and it was inconvenient for others to listen.

After entering the elevator, Hua Tao jokingly said to Wu Yuwen: "Do you say that Qin Ke hasn't given up on Xia Dashao?" ”

Wu Yuwen curled the corners of his mouth and smiled, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and moved casually and chicly: "That's just right, in addition to liking the New Year, don't you also like the next year?" ”

Hua Tao: "......"

Watching the elevator door slowly close, Qin Kecai lowered his voice and asked Xia Sheng: "Little monk, have you been in contact with Brother Long these days?" ”

Xia Sheng had already guessed that Qin Ke had something important to tell him just now, but he didn't expect that the matter would be related to Long Ye.

He really hasn't been in touch with Long Ye anymore.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

Qin Ke glanced left and right, and made sure that there were only the two of them in the corridor, so he said mysteriously: "The old man I received today is always from Jinzhou, and he is half of the people in the rivers and lakes. ”

Xia Sheng's heart jumped for no reason.

"I also inadvertently chatted with him about gossip and listened to it." Qin Ke's expression became a little solemn, which made Xia Sheng have a bad premonition in his heart.

Sure enough, the next moment, Qin Ke said something that shocked Xia Sheng.

"I heard that someone issued a reward hunting order on the road, wanting Brother Long's life."

……

Hua Tao and Wu Yuwen took the company's development of new artists as a topic of small talk.

Xia Sheng and Qin Ke walked out of the company together, and when they saw them, they both smiled.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Hua Tao felt that Xia Sheng's eyes were not as soft as usual, and seemed to have a touch of coldness.

"Finished talking so soon?" She stepped forward, took his arm and asked with a smile, "What did Qin Ke tell you?" As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Qin Ke who was smiling on his face.

"He took a fancy to the handsome guy newly recruited by the company, and told me that he wanted to uncover the rules." Xia Sheng said.

"Holy! Don't be so fraught. Qin Ke suddenly jumped up, put his arm around Wu Yuwen's shoulder, and said nervously, "Don't believe his nonsense." ”

Wu Yuwen smiled and was noncommittal.

Qin Ke was even more anxious.

Hua Tao looked at the two of them and was overjoyed.

"Let's go." Xia Sheng was not interested in watching others play with the spear, so he took Hua Tao's hand and walked to the parking lot.

When the two got home, they remembered that they had forgotten to buy ingredients, and there were only two eggs and a handful of green onions in the refrigerator.

"I'll go to the nearby supermarket and buy some meat dishes." Hua Tao didn't change her shoes, turned around and went out again.

Xia Sheng wanted to smoke, but he couldn't find a cigarette, so he only found a packet of mints on the coffee table, he took one and put it in his mouth, and chewed it two or three times.

The cool feeling exploded in the mouth, it was a little spicy, and the air inhaled was cold.

He sat down, took out his mobile phone and called Long Ye.

I don't know if the gossip I heard from others is true or not, no matter what, he must have asked for a certificate to feel at ease.

It's just that the phone rang and hung up automatically, but no one answered.

Xia Sheng groaned, opened the address book, and dialed another number.

"Check one thing for me." There was no salutation or greeting, he got straight to the point and made a direct request.

"Say." The person on the other end of the line spoke just as crisply.

"Help me find out if someone is paying a high price to buy Long Ye's life on the road, find out who is offering a reward, and act quickly."

"Aren't you worried about me doing things?"

Xia Sheng hung up the phone, threw the phone aside, and then went to the kitchen to wash rice and cook.

When Hua Tao came back from grocery shopping, the rice was already steamed in the rice cooker.

"What did you buy?" Xia Sheng walked over to get the shopping bag for her.

There was a fish in the bag, still alive, with gills one by one. In addition to this, there are tomatoes and green peppers.

"That's what you call a meat dish?" Xia Sheng raised his eyebrows, he was a veritable carnivore, and white meat couldn't be considered meat to him.

"Dinner should be light." Hua Tao said, "You don't usually do much exercise, and you eat so much meat for dinner, you will definitely gain weight in the future." ”

Xia Sheng let out an "oh", and raised the corners of his lips with an evil smile: "Our exercise has indeed been a little less recently, so it will increase from tonight?" ”

Hua Tao's cheeks suddenly turned red, snatched the shopping bag in his hand, and walked quickly to the kitchen: "I won't tell you, wash the vegetables." ”

Xia Sheng looked at her slender back, and the smile on his lips did not dissipate for a long time.

No matter how upset and nerve-wracking things are, as long as he sees Hua Tao, as long as Hua Tao is by his side, he can be calm and calm and deal with it freely.

Because the most precious thing he cares about is already in the palm of his hand.

There is nothing in this world that can shake him.

After dinner, the two went downstairs for a walk.

Hua Tao is not proficient, the time of steaming fish is not well controlled, the umami is all steamed, and the fish is very old.

Despite this, Xia Sheng still ate it all very face-savingly.

Hua Tao was quite suspicious that Xia Sheng was a cat in his last life, otherwise it would be impossible to eat the fish meat on every fish bone.

"Sihua knows that I am a half-sister to her." Hua Tao let out a long sigh, "My lady is gone." ”

Xia Sheng smiled: "You may have fallen under the curse of 'may all lovers in the world be long-lost brothers and sisters'." ”

"You know this curse?" Hua Tao was happy, she thought that Xia Sheng only read high-quality books such as "Capital" and "Reminiscences of the Years Like Water".

"Is that surprising? I also know about the FFF group, is it more surprising? Xia Sheng said.

"Oh my God, you still know about the FFF group." Hua Tao was really surprised, "You also look at these?" ”

"Which ones?" Xia Sheng smiled, "I don't watch it, I just listen to the chat of colleagues in the company." ”

Because of the expansion of business, the company recruited several new artists some time ago, all of whom were eighteen or nineteen-year-old little fresh meat, all of whom were young and young.

Hua Tao was about to say something, but Xia Sheng's mobile phone rang. He picked it up, didn't speak, just quietly listened to the person on the other end finish, and then hung up.

In fact, the other party didn't say much, just one sentence.

It is true that someone bought Long Ye's life at a high price, and the person who issued the reward order was Tao Shenglei, the boss of Jinsheng Group.
