DTBS - Chapter 124
Chapter 124: The Coffee Table is Ringing
"CEO Tao, it was a pleasure working with you."
"The pleasure is mine, CEO Yu."
The collaboration with Dongming Group went smoothly, and both parties were satisfied.
Looking at the elegant and refined young woman before him, Yu Fengnian felt deeply that he was getting old. Picking up his knife and fork, he cut the steak on his plate and sighed, "Ultimately, it's your generation's world now. Please send my regards to your grandfather."
"Certainly, CEO Yu," Tao Qiuyun smiled politely and poured him a glass of wine.
"This investment in the underwater tunnel, and the development of the tunnel cinema project," Yu Fengnian looked at Tao Qiuyun, "you specifically prepared this for Qin Qingshang, didn't you? Getting new technology involved was to showcase the latest achievements and build momentum for Qin Qingshang, right?"
"I was curious before why CEO Tao was interested in this kind of thing, but then I learned your wife is a celebrity, and it all made sense."
"CEO Yu," Tao Qiuyun took a small sip of wine, composed and at ease, "Qingshang is an excellent actress. The reception for 《White Robed Minister》 and 《Fluttering Butterfly》 has been good. They are certainly qualified for trial screenings, aren't they?"
She put down her glass, her gaze gentle. "Although the timing doesn't perfectly align, it's just an initial trial. Later, when tunnel cinemas become popular, I naturally won't show favoritism to my wife."
"CEO Tao is silver-tongued. The GG endorsement, I'm afraid you had plans for that long ago too, didn't you?" Yu Fengnian admired her willingness to appoint capable people without avoiding relatives. He raised his glass, "To success."
Tao Qiuyun also raised her glass, lightly clinking it with his, her red lips curving slightly, "To the future."
After finishing dinner with the CEO of Dongming, Zhang Xunmeng drove Tao Qiuyun back to Chunjin Group. Before Tao Qiuyun got out of the car, she pursed her lips and said, "CEO Tao, Old Master Tao sent Qinqin a Koenigsegg. He specifically told them to make it a custom model. It's Qinqin's birthday gift."
"A model?"
"A real car." Zhang Xunmeng handed her phone to her. "It cost 300 million. Lifetime warranty and replacement."
Tao Qiuyun paused her movement of opening the door, took the phone, and looked at the cat-themed sports car on the screen, her face full of confusion. She asked doubtfully, "What's the use of this kind of car? And Qinqin is still so young, how can she drive it?"
"Old Master Tao said that the way you and Miss Qin revealed your marriage... was lame. But I saw Mrs. Xia was very excited and said she was really looking forward to meeting Miss Qin."
"What does that have to do with him sending Qinqin a sports car?"
"Old Master Tao wanted to send his birthday wishes on Qinqin's birthday, but who knew you took Qinqin and ran off to Linhai? He didn't get the chance, so he had to let it go. But the gift has already arrived. It's been parked in the old mansion's garage all this time, so..."
Zhang Xunmeng paused, then continued, "How about you drive it occasionally? We have so many cars, we can't drive them all by rotation anyway. And this is a supercar, it's not good for commuting, so... maybe you can drive it for fun privately? Or take Miss Qin out for a drive?"
"Grandpa always likes to send useless things," Tao Qiuyun shook her head. "I will contact the company headquarters there and have them keep this car for Qinqin. I'll give it to her after she's an adult and has a driver's license."
"What about Old Master Tao?"
"I'll talk to him," Tao Qiuyun got out of the car, deciding the fate of the little cat's gift.
Really, why send a sports car to a child? Qinqin is only five years old, can she even understand it! It would be better to send her a toy car, she could actually play with it in her hands.
"CEO Tao," Wang Huai handed the documents in her hand to Tao Qiuyun, who was processing files. "Since the matter of Miss Qin being your wife was made public, the organizers of the Night of Stars finally woke up to the realization. This is the situation after their rectification."
"Everyone knows the higher-ups value new technology, and using the dating show live broadcast as an experiment, they also approved documents to rectify the atmosphere in the entertainment industry," Wang Huai pushed up her glasses. "This is perfectly aligned with your goals, CEO Tao. It's estimated that the organizers of various awards won't dare to rig things anymore in the near future."
"This is how it should be," Tao Qiuyun opened the document. "Talented people are suppressed and can't get ahead, and the industry is full of people who cut corners and cheat, occupying resources. I hope the cake goes into the mouths of those who work hard."
If things were fair and just, Qin Qingshang wouldn't have been suppressed for so many years. She should have become hugely popular and won awards long ago.
"Jiang's side is already in a precarious state. After your bigamy incident was clarified, the legal team submitted all relevant personnel to the court. Now Sufeng is also entangled in lawsuits and can't even influence public opinion. It probably won't last much longer. Many people are eyeing this piece of cake, should we take a share?"
"Didn't you say before that Ming Siwen also wants this cake?"
"Yes, Miss Ming is also operating secretly. She's a smart girl."
"Then give it to her. These things are just icing on the cake for me, but for her, they are good things to establish herself. Help her out."
"Understood, CEO Tao." Wang Huai nodded and then asked, "What about the Night of Stars organizers? What do you say, CEO Tao?"
"From the start, they shouldn't have talked to me, but should have talked to Qingshang."
"Understood, I will relay that to them."
After saying this, Wang Huai paused, then continued, "Oh, right, CEO Tao, Qi Xingwu is already in. And that sasaeng fan who broke into Miss Qin's hotel before, it was found out that he had previously committed a stalking incident, resulting in a girl having a traffic accident and dying on the spot. It wasn't thoroughly investigated back then. This time, Captain Fang listened to your words, since you said he didn't seem like a first-time offender, so he carefully reviewed his affairs, and that's how it was discovered."
Executive Assistant Wang slightly lowered her head, seeming to be lamenting, "Currently there's a problem. Captain Fang said that girl's family... her parents have both remarried now. If they were to file a lawsuit, neither seems willing to bear the cost."
Tao Qiuyun paused her signing motion, looked up, and asked, "What happened back then?"
"He stalked a girl, resulting in the girl being hit by a car and killed while trying to escape. At the time, because the driver was driving normally and she appeared suddenly, so..."
"I understand."
"How do you plan to handle it, CEO Tao?"
"Have Fang Yu contact Qin Qingshang," Tao Qiuyun took a sip of tea. "Qingshang will make the decision."
"Okay... Are you going to visit Qi Xingwu in prison?"
"Next time," Tao Qiuyun put down her cup and tidied her desk. "I have something very important tonight."
She was getting ready to leave work.
"Is it an international conference?" Wang Huai was curious. "But didn't Secretary Zheng fall ill and take leave today? Then who will accompany you?"
That's right, the iron woman Secretary Zheng was taken by Tao Qiuyun to fly everywhere, working at high intensity. During her most recent business trip, she suffered from altitude sickness and fell ill.
"It's not business," Tao Qiuyun loosened her tie and explained, "It's a wife-wife meeting."
Wang Huai suddenly understood, "Okay, CEO Tao, I'll be going now."
She had just reached the door, thought for a while, and still chose to turn back and say, "CEO Tao, there's a very important meeting tomorrow morning. Please make sure to be there."
"I know," Tao Qiuyun nodded. "Executive Assistant Wang doesn't need to worry about this. I am a very self-controlled person."
It was just doing it with her wife on the coffee table, it wouldn't make her go crazy.
Although, she really missed Qin Qingshang, but...
She could endure it very well.
Thinking of this, Tao Qiuyun took out her phone and dialed Su Qingxiang's number. "Hello? Qingxiang, are you free tonight?"
"You first, what do you want to do?" Su Qingxiang's voice was a bit noisy, seeming to be in a park or similar place.
"At this hour, you're actually outside. Are you off today?" Tao Qiuyun was a bit curious.
"I'm out walking the dog."
"But walking Big Bold in the morning and evening is enough."
"What do you know? Your dog is so big, it needs a lot of exercise too. Once in the morning and evening is not enough!"
As soon as Su Qingxiang finished speaking, a dog bark came from over there: Woof!
Woof no, Woof doesn't want to go out at all. She wants to see that woman! Woof is wronged, Woof is a tool!
Unfortunately, Tao Qiuyun couldn't understand the dog's grievances. "Really? If you're free, Qinqin is coming back tonight, can she go to your place?"
"Ah? Oh! Qinqin misses Teacher Chang?" Su Qingxiang suddenly answered irrelevantly.
"What?" Tao Qiuyun froze for a moment.
"Does she miss her?" Su Qingxiang's voice had a hint of threat.
"...Yes, she misses Teacher Chang," Tao Qiuyun cooperated.
"Right, haven't seen her in so long. Teacher Chang takes such good care of Qinqin, she must miss her a lot," Su Qingxiang seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Qingxiang, I mean..."
"Okay, okay, got it. Tell me when Qinqin arrives, I'll go pick her up. Hanging up now."
Looking at the hung-up call, Tao Qiuyun suddenly understood...
So, Su Qingxiang, has she really fallen for Teacher Chang?
Does Tao Aiqin have some kind of matchmaker physique?
Tao Qiuyun, who got off work early, drove the Bentayga back to Qin Qingshang's residential area.
No choice, after all, only this car's license plate was registered in the community system. Only by driving it could she get in.
Tidying up the house that was already clean and tidy, Tao Qiuyun thought for a moment and still chose to use alcohol. The clear-minded woman's eyes were serious, like she was doing some scientific research project. She carefully wiped the glass coffee table in front of the TV wall until it made "gurgling" sounds, repeatedly several times, only then did she let it go.
She emptied the entire coffee table, sprayed it thoroughly with alcohol again, then pressed down on the coffee table and shook it hard.
She was always thorough in her work. Considering the weight of the coffee table, if it were moved, it would make a loud noise. Late at night when it's quiet, sound travels well between floors, and it wouldn't be good if someone complained.
So, Tao Qiuyun took out her phone and had someone send over a rug.
The subordinate was quick. Not long after, they sent a message telling her the rug was left for her at the guardhouse.
Carrying the rug home, Tao Qiuyun rolled up her sleeves, moved the coffee table aside and gently put it down, then spread out the rug, then put the coffee table back in its original place, pressed down and shook it again.
Very good. With the rug assisting, this time there was almost no sound.
Looking around, Tao Qiuyun started thinking about how to approach the topic of coffee table exercise with her wife.
Should she immediately carry Qingshang to the coffee table when she comes back? Or be reserved for a bit?
After all, Qingshang always looks very shy. She changes too quickly. Very shy at first, but as soon as she gets into the mood, she becomes...
Very wild!
So... first, she needs to get into the mood.
That day on the video call, when Qin Qingshang mentioned this matter, she was being coy. To make her less shy, she pretended to be nonchalant, hoping she wouldn't be too nervous...
Heaven knows, when Qin Qingshang said she could allow her to do it on the coffee table at home, she wished she could immediately fly to Linhai and tell her:
Qingshang, I actually have property in Linhai too.
Wait!
Tao Qiuyun, who was flexing her wrists, suddenly woke up, staring at her hands...
I almost forgot the most important thing.
She hasn't bought finger cots yet!
