Chapter 851 Drama Queen, Script
Old Wu took a sip of tea, looked at the man in front of him, and asked curiously: "Xiao Shen, what's the matter?"
In the past few days, Chen Tao's official divorce has become quite popular. Many colleagues, including Lao Wu himself, are interested in his recent movements.
Chen Tao said with a jade look on his face: "I want to go to Hong Kong Island to relax on New Year's Day. I plan to come back to work on the 5th of next month."
Old Wu frowned habitually: "On the fifth day of next month? That is, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th, you have to ask for leave? It's not that I refuse to approve it, but you also know that our unit is short of manpower. If you leave for too long, a lot of work may It can’t be carried out.”
The above is all bullshit, don’t worry about it.
Chen Tao sighed: "Old Wu, this is the first time I know that I am so important in our unit, so important that I can affect many jobs! In this case, should all the leaders approve my application for a salary increase? "
Old Wu smiled awkwardly: "That needs to be studied further. When you arrive in Hong Kong Island, you have to relax and forget all the unpleasantness before."
Chen Tao thanked him, drank a cup of tea with Lao Wu, chatted for a few words, and then returned to the office and started typing.
It's okay to make progress, but it's not necessary to pursue advancement into the department.
Li Xiaoyue is making Hanfu at home.
One thing is for sure, her craftsmanship is really not very good, but she is not stupid, and practice makes perfect.
In this way, Chen Tao does not need to find a private tailor, he can just ask this good wife to do it for him.
After typing on the keyboard until noon, Chen Tao and three male colleagues went to the unit's self-operated canteen for lunch.
There were five people in the entire department, including him and Lao Wu, all of whom were men and had too much yang energy.
Moreover, two of the buddies have not yet had girlfriends, which is even worse.
Just this morning, an eldest sister came to marry me.
Chen Tao felt that if he did not make an official announcement to Li Xiaoyue on the night of the 31st, he might have to participate in blind dates and social activities during the Chinese New Year, even if it was just to make up the numbers.
After lunch, he naturally took a nap as a habit.
Li Xiaoyue has not developed such a habit yet, so she saw Na Weifa's WeChat message, saying that Na Juan wanted to see her tonight and hoped she would agree.
Of course Li Xiaoyue didn't agree, saying that she was in Pengcheng and had no time to return to the capital.
Na Wei didn't force him, and he didn't think that his younger brother Na Juan must be her.
With Na Juan's net worth, of course he is far inferior to that tyrant who likes wives and casually gives her 10 million.
But he also has a mortgage on a large flat with a total price of nearly 20 million, has a good car, and has an annual salary of over one million. Although most of this annual salary has to be used to repay the loan, he still has options in the company!
The option price is 20 million now, but if your career goes well, it may not become 40 to 50 million in ten years.
In this case, Li Xiaoyue really is not worthy of him, so why not find another woman?
Na Wei advised his younger brother like this.
But Na Juan was unwilling to do so.
Cricket Li Xiaoyue actually dumped him over a disagreement and refused to even give him a chance to surrender. She really looked down on him!
During this period, the more he thought about it, the more unhappy he became, and the more unhappy he became, the more he cared about it. The pressure at work was so great that he was exhausted physically and mentally, and even his work efficiency was affected.
"Goed to Pengcheng?"
After hearing the whereabouts of his ex-girlfriend relayed by his brother, Na Juan said sadly: "She is determined to leave me! What did I do wrong? Don't I love her? I did it for her own good! I Is it just for me to work hard? Why can’t she understand me? Who the hell loves to work? But if I don’t work, how can I provide her with the best material conditions?”
This was somewhat sincere, but it didn't stop him from thinking that Li Xiaoyue was a loser and forcing her to make progress even though he knew she wasn't happy with it.
Na Wei was speechless, feeling that his brother's emotional intelligence was too low, his personality was awkward, and he was somewhat schizophrenic.
Women who love money don't like it. A woman who doesn't love money forces others to make progress. Isn't this silly? How would you feel if the boss of your company asked you to make progress but told you not to love money?
What feelings are like code, they have to pass your test...
Which woman would like this kind of mentally retarded talk?
evening.
As soon as Chen Tao got off work, he took a taxi to Joy City Mall.
Li Xiaoyue had already reserved a seat at a certain Western restaurant and was waiting for him to eat together and then go shopping.
They don't have to worry about being seen by acquaintances.
Na Juan has to work overtime and has no interest in shopping.
Shen Lin won't work overtime today, but she has to take care of her young son.
Na Wei works in the marketing department, so of course he has to socialize... In fact, he has been on the layoff list.
After the boss Wang Ruizhi recited Buddhist scriptures, his wife Qin Lingling and her brother Qin Feng took over the power and could no longer accommodate him. He didn't know it yet, or he might have noticed it, but he still couldn't believe it.
Zhou Moufu.
Holding Chen Tao's arm, Li Xiaoyue asked with a smile on her face: "Hubby, why are you buying me jewelry again?"
Chen Tao said very straightforwardly: "I predict that the price of gold will rise sharply next year, and it will be much cheaper to buy it for you now."
Li Xiaoyue raised her eyebrows: "Husband, you used to be a very honest man. It's not surprising to say that. But now I think you have become a smooth-tongued man. You should coax me and say: There is no other reason than to give gifts. , to my good wife?”
Chen Tao kissed her and said kindly: "For no other reason, I just want to give you a gift because I love you so much."
Li Xiaoyue giggled when she heard this, and together with her handsome boyfriend, they attracted the attention of many passers-by.
When she returned home in the evening, Li Xiaoyue found two plain chains, two carved bracelets, two heavy solid bracelets without patterns, a pair of butterfly earrings, a pair of plum blossom earrings, and a pair of rose earrings. She was in a very happy mood. I didn't go to bed until very late.
She is very happy now and never wants to go back to the days when she clearly had a boyfriend but seemed to be a widow.
Money is not important, and that kind of thing is not really important either.
The important thing is that Chen Tao not only agrees with her, but also likes her and agrees with her ideas and lifestyle.
She even felt that she was almost spoiled by Chen Tao. Recently, she always had a dreamlike feeling of unreality, especially as the official announcement was approaching, this feeling of unreality was particularly strong.
Did her dream really come true, and after all these years of hanging out together, did she finally find her heart?
The next day, the 29th.
Chen Tao went to work in the morning, but at noon, he went to Daxing Airport with Li Xiaoyue.
This year's New Year's Day holiday is from the 30th to the 1st, and Chen Tao took an extra three days of leave, which is almost equivalent to the National Day holiday.
***
On the morning of the 31st, the old family was having breakfast.
Shen Lin suddenly put down her phone and said with some worry:
"Xiao Lei had a few words with me on the 29th. I sent several messages from yesterday to now, but he didn't reply. Will something happen to him?"
During the New Year's Day holiday, because her younger brother didn't want to go back to his hometown in Hebei to receive comfort from his parents, she didn't go back either and would wait until the Spring Festival.
Na Wei was speechless: "Leilei is here to relax this time, why are you looking for him? He thinks you are annoying, so he doesn't reply to you."
Shen Lin nodded, obviously agreeing with her husband's words, but she couldn't help but feel worried:
"It doesn't matter if you find me annoying, as long as nothing happens to him. I always feel that something is wrong with his mood. I am definitely still thinking about that Xie Meilan, just in case..."
Na Wei quickly interrupted: "Don't scare yourself, what's the chance? He's not stubborn, how could he be stupid? Just put your mind at ease and go over to comfort him after he returns to Beijing!" "
Shen Lin hummed, then changed the topic:
"Leilei is not young anymore. He needs to hurry up and find someone else. Husband, what kind of person do you think he should find?"
Na Wei was under a lot of pressure at work and was not in the mood to talk about this, so he said perfunctorily:
"He now has 10 million, so of course I have to introduce him to someone who is young, beautiful, and not too low-educated!"
Shen Lin nodded in approval: "Leilei is so good-looking. Even though he has no money, he is also very popular with women. He doesn't have to worry about not having a partner. I will give him a good pick when I have time in the future."
Na Wei advised: "He doesn't need you to help him. How many young people nowadays like blind dates? In my opinion, let him rest for half a year. After he adjusts his mood and forgets Xie Meilan, he can talk about it himself. ”
Shen Lin sighed: "Oh, this Xie Meilan, you can't say she is bad. She has been with Leilei for more than ten years and has always been very affectionate. Now she is with a rich man and has brought another 10 million yuan in compensation to Leilei. In this way How could Leile not miss her? It’s all about money.”
Hong Kong Island.
Tonight's New Year's Eve fireworks show has caused the prices of hotels near Victoria Harbor to rise sharply, especially for sea view rooms. Even ordinary rooms cost over 10,000 yuan, and they are still hard to book.
Chen Tao didn't book the hotel with the best location.
Li Xiaoyue couldn't bear it.
She lives in a Hyatt ocean view room in Wan Chai, which is also a five-star hotel and can also see the night view of Victoria Harbor. For her who always stays in youth hostels when traveling, it is already extremely luxurious.
However, if she booked a room with a perfect Victoria Harbor view in the Regent Hotel, she could not take the official photo in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, lest Na Wei and others would see any clues, and she would be so painful that she would not be able to sleep afterwards.
Now, she has not completely changed her concept of spending money. Although she is very willing to buy her favorite Hanfu and also likes the various jewelry Chen Tao gave her, she is still unable to accept such exaggerated spending. It needs a process.
Ten o'clock in the morning.
Chen Tao leaned on the sofa and watched with great interest the wonderful performance of his girlfriend who was an actress in front of him.
Li Xiaoyue drank some water first, moistened her throat, and then said with full emotion:
"Sister, please listen to my explanation. I met Shen Lei by chance on the morning of the 30th. He was not in a good mood at that time. I knew it was probably due to the divorce, so I proposed to go with him to comfort him. And He didn't refuse. That night, when I was about to go back to my room to rest, he suddenly hugged me excitedly, kissed me, and said he wanted to date me. I was shocked and quickly said I didn't want to. In the end, he burst into tears and blamed me for wasting his relationship for more than ten years. Of course I knew that the person he was talking about was not me, but Xie Meilan. He cried so hard that I felt weak. I promised him. I want to wait until he lets go of Xie Meilan before I leave him."
Chen Tao also played the role of the cheap lady and said in surprise:
"Do you think you are Meilan? Does Leilei really have a mental problem? How is this possible?! I don't believe it!"
Li Xiaoyue shook her head and said, "He is fine now, and he knows very well that I am not his ex-wife, but he has a strong sense of dependence on me, just like a child who will feel uneasy and eager to see his mother once he has been away from his mother for too long. I also secretly consulted a doctor without telling him. The doctor said that he was on the verge of a mental breakdown, and I happened to appear and gave him a lot of care, and unexpectedly became his psychological support."
Chen Tao smiled and changed the play: "Then you just took advantage of the situation? No, you are my brother-in-law's ex-girlfriend, I firmly oppose you and my brother being together."
Li Xiaoyue took over the play and said, "Sister, you don't want to see your brother's condition worsen after leaving me, right? Your family had better use eight sedan chairs to marry me, and let me be the head of the family, otherwise hum hum..."
This girl's acting talent is really outrageous. She can act like anything. It was a waste of talent to learn Chinese.
At night.
As the countdown ended, the sky was filled with bright fireworks, embellishing the Victoria Bay under the moon with incomparable beauty.
Amidst the noisy cheers, Chen Tao took out a diamond ring from his pocket and put it on the ring finger of Li Xiaoyue's left hand in front of her surprised eyes:
"My wife, marry me!"
Li Xiaoyue's eyes were red, and she asked with emotion and curiosity: "My husband, shouldn't I be the one to propose?"
She was wearing a simple and elegant Song Dynasty Hanfu tonight, and she also tied her hair into a bun, which matched her pure and pretty face. She was really pitiful.
Chen Tao was wearing a long-sleeved Polo shirt and a pair of casual pants. Fortunately, the color was not the gray and brown of Shan Shangjun, otherwise it would be too murderous and would affect the atmosphere.
At Li Xiaoyue's request, her medium-length, extremely soft and non-greasy hair was combed into a 3:7 split, and it could only be 3:7, after all, he didn't have the ability to control the middle part.
This style was just right, matched with his figure, not only bookish, but also full of security, really a combination of civil and military.
Of course, this won't work when taking photos later, he still needs to adjust.
He hugged Li Xiaoyue, pressed his forehead against the girl, and explained with a smile:
"Asking you to propose to me does not mean I won't propose to you. What do you think of this surprise tonight? Is it very..."
Li Xiaoyue blocked his mouth.
Two and a half minutes later.
Chen Tao also put on the ring that Li Xiaoyue prepared for him, and then took the official photo.
According to the script, Chen Tao had to become more gloomy and lonely, as if he was abandoned, so that he could rely on her.
This was not difficult for him.
Soon, a photo with brilliant fireworks as the background was taken.
The two were very close, and it could even be said that they were cuddling.
Li Xiaoyue looked at the camera, her beautiful eyes full of excitement.
Chen Tao looked at her profile with a complicated look, revealing emotions such as admiration, attachment and desire.
Of course, he had to stop at the right time, and there had to be a sense of restraint, and he must not be so obscene that people would imagine that he would sneak into Li Xiaoyue's room after the show and ask her for sex.
Although they did book a sea view room with only a large bed, there was no need to sneak around. (End of this chapter)
