Seeing this kind of request, Wang Tao instinctively thought about not going, but immediately turned around and thought: If I bring a female companion, can I let Xia Xiao be the one in the open?

"Haha, I'm such a genius!" Wang Tao narcissistically thought that obviously, his IQ had dropped to a negative number!

……

"I don't wear anything like that, it's not what a guard should wear at all!"

Looking at the set of blue long skirts handed over by Wang Tao, Xia Xiao immediately refused! Of course, Xia Xiao would never tell him that the reason for refusal had something to do with the fact that this skirt was a backless long skirt!

Moreover, compared to this kind of dress, Xia Xiao prefers cheongsam!

Wang Tao looked at Xia Xiao with a tangled face, and persuaded him with good words: "Don't, look, this invitation card indicates that you want to bring a female companion, if you go over in a military uniform, what kind of female companion is it?" ”

"That's even worse! My job is to protect you, and when it's a female companion, you'd better be smart! ”

After speaking, Xia Xiao turned around and went directly to the door.

……

"Qing, is it really okay for me to simply refuse? Will he think I'm being too hypocritical? As soon as he went out, Xia Xiao asked in a whisper to the communication terminal.

"Don't worry, with me, make sure he will commit it, you just wait to go to the street to buy clothes later!"

On the other side, Qing is also enlightening Wang Tao!!

"Harbour, what should I do? She seems to hate me! Wang Tao said with some gains and losses.

"You're stupid! Through my observations, she is actually very interested in being your female companion! The only problem is that you can't prepare this dress, and I can clearly see the look of disgust on her face just now! The only way to make her change her mind is to take her to choose a dress she likes! Qing said with an oath.

"Really?" Wang Tao asked with some disbelief: "But did she go with me to choose a dress?" ”

"Oh my God! You're not stupid? She's your personal guard, and she has to follow you wherever you go! ”

……

In this way, Wang Tao took Xia Xiao to appear on the only commercial street in Fengdengxing.

"This dress is good, can you try it?"

"This one is a good fit for you!"

"These shoes are made for you!"

Xia Xiao looked helplessly at Wang Tao running forward and backward, and thought: Are you trying to grab the salesman's job?

"Mr. Minister, let me remind you that you are attending a banquet tonight! Do you think it's really appropriate to wear a denim outfit with boots? Xia Xiao sneered unceremoniously.

"Uh......"

Wang Tao was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he had been doing it for a long time, and he was completely useless!

……

After tossing for a whole afternoon, Wang Tao finally helped Xia Xiao buy his favorite dress before the banquet began!

This is a red cheongsam, and it is embroidered with auspicious clouds and flying phoenixes with gold thread, which can be said to be very gorgeous and atmospheric!

Coupled with a pair of sapphire earrings that Wang Tao helped her choose, after Xia Xiao wore them, she was a gentle and generous lady!

At half past seven in the evening, in a manor, Wang Tao walked into the gate with Xia Xiao.

At this time, Xia Xiao didn't mention the matter of not being a female companion, everything seemed to be taken for granted, she just took Wang Tao's arm so casually but very naturally, and walked in front of the master's house under the gaze of everyone.

"Lady Kailin, we're meeting again!" Wang Tao said.

"Yes, when I saw Flying Wingstar in a hurry, I thought about it for a long time, and I always felt that it was not very formal, so I took the liberty to invite Minister Wang to come over again! It's amazing for you to come! Also, Ms. Xia is so beautiful! The ladies of the entire manor were eclipsed! Kai Lin said politely, and praised Xia Xiao at the end.

Just this sentence, Wang Tao was immediately full of good feelings for her, if he praised Wang Tao directly, he might feel that the other party was patting on the back, but praising Xia Xiao, he felt like a spring breeze!

Therefore, people in love are really unreasonable!

……

Wang Tao didn't like such an occasion, but seeing that Xia Xiaozheng was chatting happily with a few female guests, Wang Tao didn't mind staying a little longer!

"Minister Wang, this is Old Henry, the head of the Vanilla Consortium!"

Kai Lin pointed to an imposing old man on the side and helped Wang Tao introduce him.

The Vanilla Consortium is also one of the three major forces of the former American Federation, but unlike the other two families, they are in the form of a loose alliance.

The main purpose of Kailin's banquet is to strengthen the connection with Wang Tao, and the second is to help Henry introduce Wang Tao. Of course, it's not free, and only Kailin herself knows how much she received from them.

"Hello!" Wang Tao stretched out his hand and shook him, as for being taken by the momentum on Henry's body, hehe, it's good that Henry didn't have stage fright first, expecting Wang Tao to be scared, it's simply impossible!

"Minister Wang is really young and promising, compared with you, we have all lived to dogs over the years!" Henry said.

"You are humble enough to be able to take the helm of the Vanilla Consortium, which is by no means something that ordinary people can do!" Wang Tao didn't hesitate to say a word to us.

……

The two sides chatted for a few words, and Wang Tao knew what this old henry wanted to do.

It turns out that because of its special circumstances, the vanilla consortium itself does not have much scientific research ability, and the reason why it was able to become a top force in the past is not because its economic aggregate is large enough!

Now it's okay, first of all, the unification of mankind, they suffered a heavy blow, and then, Wang Tao got a military industrial association, which is even worse, because they are not members of the association, and now they don't even have a single military order, including those spare parts.

In the long run, the businesses, families, and companies that make up the vanilla consortium will go bankrupt and close down at least half!

Now that he learned that Wang Tao was in Fengdengxing, he found Kailin, and after paying a lot of price, he finally met Wang Tao himself.

Knowing the intention of dealing with it, Wang Tao was not angry that Kailin was making trouble for him, on the contrary, Wang Tao even felt that this vanilla consortium was very similar to the Military Industry Association in Chengdu, the only difference was that the technology of the Military Industry Association was strong enough, and the scope of the circle was wide enough! Not at all that the vanilla consortium can handle! Therefore, Wang Tao has a natural affection for this vanilla consortium.

"The problem you encountered, but it's a problem, it's not a problem!" Wang Tao said: If you think it's a problem, it can only mean that you are too lazy!

"Your production model has not changed for hundreds of years, and it is still processing with supplied materials to help others produce things!"

Hearing this, old Henry was a little ashamed, it is undeniable that among all the original countries, the Chinese people are the most industrious, and the people of the American Federation are a bit biased to say that they are the laziest, but to say that they are content with the status quo, there is no problem at all!

"We also knew it was time for a change, but now that we have figured it out, the threshold for joining the Military Industrial Association has suddenly been raised!" Henry said helplessly.

When it was first established, the military industrial association could be said to have refused to come, but now, not only does it have to pay a large amount of money to join the association, but also the rewards for research tasks have shrunk, and even the initial research funds are no longer provided!

This made the vanilla consortium, which wanted to transform collectively, suddenly blinded.
