win or lose game

The Deep Sea Hotel in Xilin is only three months away from its official opening.Shao Yigui has always been very concerned about this project. For the past three years, he has regarded this project as a child of himself and Tang Linwen.Now, he thinks it's necessary for the child to let the child's mother see him first.So he planned an internal test run.

The open area for the internal trial operation is only partial, and there are only a few guests invited to stay. However, before the arrival of other guests, Shao Yigui deliberately moved one day in advance and successfully persuaded Tang Linwen to come to the "internal test".

On the day of arrival, they took the internal elevator all the way down, and the two were jointly entertained by a total of 54 hotel service personnel.The room service led Shao Yigui and Tang Linwen into the same room. Shao Yigui, who "cuts first and plays later", stabilized his position and introduced the luxury suite in front of him as if nothing had happened. This room is positioned as a "honeymoon suite". The service staff in the business suite and the presidential suite are veterans, so don’t worry about them, so I specially chose this room for a trial stay.” His reasons were not good, but it was better than honestly saying, “The presidential suite has two bedrooms, so I specially chose this room to live in.” Choose this room with only one bedroom."

Tang Linwen casually visited the so-called "advanced business suite" that was more romantic than luxurious. Finally, he stood in front of the super large double bed in the bedroom and turned to Shao Yigui: "You told the room service that you want Extra bed?"

Shao Yigui gritted his teeth and smiled nonchalantly: "No. I think this bed is quite big, and it's no problem to sleep two more people."

Hearing this, Tang Linwen glanced at him calmly: "Which two people are you going to invite?"

Shao Yigui pondered for a long time before he was sure that the other party was teasing him.Tang Lin asked next to him and continued to look at him: "You have been thinking about it for a long time, because it is difficult to choose which two to choose?"

Shao Yigui didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He deliberately sighed and said, "Forgive me. One question from Tang Lin is enough for me, and I will still be able to smash it until my next life, giving me all kinds of ups and downs."

Faced with this begging for mercy, Tang Linwen kindly let him go. The former nodded as if nothing had happened, and said, "It seems that you are hungry. Let's go eat first."

Being entertained like stars in a luxury restaurant is not a particularly appetizing experience. Although Shao Yigui and Tang Lin asked which one was a rich person who could book a high-end restaurant casually, they settled the dinner as quickly as possible.After dinner, Shao Yigui, who did not have good living habits, offered to take a walk after dinner.

He brought Tang Linwen to the "Single Root Grass" garden.

More than three years ago, Shao Yigui almost fell down a slope at this place. At that time, Tang Linwen reached out to him in time. Not long before that moment, Shao Yigui saw the indifferent and heartless "Tang Chao" for the first time. "The person in charge showed a smile that seemed to flow with warmth and sparkle, just for a single-rooted plant that appeared out of thin air.

Time passed, but they finally returned to their original place.

"I specially preserved the original landform of this area." Shao Yigui said, he walked on the sometimes rugged and sometimes steep so-called "garden path" and explained, "It can be regarded as a theme scene with the 'Geological Museum' in the past."

Tang Linwen was attracted by the dense "unicorn grass", obviously thinking that this piece of "unicorn grass" was a bit provocative to the laws of botany.Shao Yigui could understand his thoughts, and quickly explained, "This is an improved variety, with stronger vitality, and is especially good at spreading and multiplying." Speaking of this, he couldn't help but feel proud, "You know that this garden What's the best thing?"

"What is it?"

"This is a so-called garden, but you can't see the land." Shao Yigui pointed to the ground, the rock layer that was left intact, "I designed this myself, and cut gaps in these rocks according to the existing topography. , Pour the most common soil into the cracks." He wanted a more stable and mature attitude, but he was inexplicably like a child asking for praise, and he couldn't help himself and added, "This is the most proud creation of my life."

Tang Linwen raised his eyebrows slightly, not understanding the key to this proud work.

Shao Yigui explained earnestly: "I remember seeing people discuss in science fiction how to preserve information for a long time. In the end, they found that the most primitive stones could be left behind. The so-called vicissitudes of life, these rocks Maybe it will be submerged by the sea in a few hundred years, but after tens of thousands of years, when these stones return to the sunlight, the modified unigrass that can survive tens of thousands of years in the seed state will come back to life , my 'onlyroot garden' will be resurrected in a posture that has not existed for tens of thousands of years, back to the moment we are looking at them now."

Tang Linwen carefully considered his wording, and finally told Shao Yigui: "This garden is indeed a good idea, but when you have nothing to do, I suggest you watch more live broadcasts and less science fiction."

Hearing this, Shao Yigui laughed, and he said in conjunction with this old joke: "You can recommend some anchors to me later."

The twilight is slowly closing in this cave, and the small flowers on the rocks are swaying in the wind.In the dim and vivid silence, there is a soothing temperature flowing through.

It can’t be said to be a life perception, it may be more like a moment of involuntary emotion, that sincere sigh. "If I can continue like this, I will be satisfied." Shao Yigui said softly, looking at the garden in front of him.

——Having said that.

Facts have proved that Shao Yigui is still a self-motivated person.Half an hour later, he aggressively started to seek more actions——

"Did you know that the best scenic spot here is the Deep Cave Hot Spring. Anyway, it's still early, let's go to a hot spring." The tour of the "One Root Grass Garden" came to an end, Shao Yigui suggested.

Tang Linwen was still holding the hotel brochure in his hand, and he could refute Shao Yigui with just a glance. "It says that the Quanzhen Geological Museum is the hotel's signature."

"However, the Geological Museum has a fatal weakness, which caused it to lose to the hot spring." Shao Yigui pointed out solemnly.

Tang Lin asked that it was rare for him not to see through Shao Yigui's routine, "What weakness?"

"Museums don't need to undress."

This time, Tang Linwen couldn't claim to win Shao Yigui.Of course, this is justifiable, even for him, he never expected Shao Yigui to be so open-minded.

To be honest, this is not Shao Yigui's style.He never had to take such pains.People who have never been thrown into their arms and hugged have realized that only when the book is used can they hate less.In terms of the wonderful activity of talking about love with Tang Linwen, Shao Yigui felt that he was inferior to an illiterate.All the rules he thought didn't seem to apply to Tang Linwen.From the very beginning, he had no way of judging whether the two were in a relationship, until now he was not confident about the progress of the two.After that night with vague memories, Shao Yigui, who had always regarded sex and love as parallel lines, stubbornly believed that he and Tang Linwen had established some kind of strong bond. No change, so anxious and helpless.For this "internal test", he made up his mind to strengthen the "firm bond" between him and Tang Linwen.

"Although the hot spring is an artificial hot spring, it has specially added Chinese medicinal materials and flowers and plants, which have a considerable effect on health care." In order to persuade Tang Lin to take a hot spring, Shao Yigui acted like an insurance salesman.

The person who obviously didn't need insurance much hesitated after hearing this recommendation, and lowered his head in thought. Finally, he raised his head and asked Shao Yigui, "Why can't we skip the hot spring and go directly to the next stage of activities?"

Shao Yigui was stopped by questioning.

In the end, the two failed to go to the hot springs as Shao Yigui wished, but having said that, the "solid bond" between the two was gratifyingly consolidated.

At noon the next day, other invited guests arrived one after another.Shao Yigui and Tang Linwen missed breakfast. They came to the restaurant downstairs during lunch. Unlike the night before, the restaurant today was much more lively.The invited media reporters should be the first group of guests to arrive. They completed the check-in procedures early, and then came to the restaurant to enjoy a free rich lunch.

Although no formal interviews were arranged for this trial run, when the main person in charge of the Haixia Hotel project and half the owner of the hotel showed up at the restaurant, the reporters quickly surrounded them.The media industry changed rapidly. In just three years, these reporters could no longer recognize Tang Linwen, but they were well-informed and knew that the man next to Shao Yigui accompanied Shao Yigui to the hotel one day in advance.The reporter who didn't ask about the hotel first was the first to gossip about Tang Linwen's identity.

Faced with this problem, Shao Yigui chose the most cautious rhetoric.

"This is Mr. Tang Linwen, the former CEO of 'Tang Dynasty'. It can be said that he is the real creator of this hotel. At the beginning, I was only fortunate to be Mr. Tang's partner to participate in this project. Unfortunately, after For some reasons, Mr. Tang withdrew from the Haixia Hotel project. Today, I specially invite Mr. Tang to witness the success of this project, and I hope he will be satisfied with the results of my successor."

"Mr. Tang, it seems that Mr. Shao is asking you a question. Excuse me, are you still satisfied with Haixia Hotel?" The reporter helped spread the word.

Tang Lin asked very simply and replied: "I think everyone has already experienced this answer."

In the past three years, Shao Yigui tried to search the Internet for videos of Tang Linwen being interviewed by the media, but he found nothing. If the CEO of "Tang Dynasty" was willing to be interviewed, how could there be no relevant videos?Therefore, Shao Yigui believed that Tang Linwen didn't like to face the media.Right now, seeing that the reporters wanted to continue asking questions, he hurriedly said before the other party had a chance to speak: "The main reason for inviting everyone to come this time is to hope that everyone can enjoy a wonderful vacation at the Haixia Hotel, so let us all put down the question first." Business. Have fun, everyone."

Shao Yigui said that, and the reporters were inconvenient to continue disturbing.Everyone dispersed slowly, leaving behind Shao Yigui and Tang Linwen.Due to the trial run, only one restaurant in the entire hotel is open, which leads to the fact that there are almost no vacant tables in the empty lobby yesterday.

Shao Yigui decided not to pay attention to a good perspective, but to find a table to solve the people's livelihood first.At this moment, a man who was sitting alone stood up and faced the two of them.

"It's better to meet by chance than to invite each other. Mr. Tang, Mr. Shao, let me be a ready-made host today."

The man who took the initiative to invite was not Shao Yigui's friend, but Shao Yigui recognized him.Xiang Cheng, this real estate tycoon may not be the richest in this industry, but he is undoubtedly the youngest, handsome and charming one. At the same time, he is also a very topical figure.Originally, Shao Yigui had a crush on this man who was only between his brothers. This man came out publicly many years ago. For Shao Yigui, who had no intention of revealing his private life to the public, he didn't think it was wise to do so. But I still admire the other party's unscrupulous courage.But having said that, times have changed, and now Shao Yigui couldn't help frowning secretly when he thought of the other party's behavior of coming out publicly—because he noticed the obviously unusual look in Xiang Cheng Wang's eyes when he asked Tang Lin.

It would be too deliberate to refuse this friendly invitation, but Shao Yigui smiled as if nothing had happened, and deliberately teased Xiang Cheng's address: "Perhaps Xiang always has no chance to cooperate with the 'Tang Dynasty', so I don't know, Lin asked Already enjoying retirement in advance." Xiang Cheng smiled casually: "I know Mr. Tang has been the director-general of the Federation since seven years ago, and I think Mr. Tang is right." ——And Shao Yigui didn't know about it until today.Shao Yigui even investigated Tang Linwen. Although he was more targeted at the latter's whereabouts, Tang Linwen's apparently extremely low-key behavior made Shao Yigui unable to see all of the other party. At the same time, Xiang Cheng knew so much .Shao Yigui is a mature and confident man, he will not be jealous because of wild suspicions.No wonder.

"Suddenly remembered that there is an urgent matter that needs to be dealt with by Lin Wen and I." The professional from the drama club said with his exaggerated acting skills at a glance, "I hope to have another chance to accept Mr. Xiang's kind invitation. Please forgive us today." Usually Shao Yigui is the one responsible for obedience, because Tang Linwen is better at giving orders, while Shao Yigui is better at currying favor with each other.But this time, Shao Yigui almost made the decision for the two of them at the same time with an indisputable force.

Tang Linwen didn't raise any objections, at least he cooperated quite well before walking out of the restaurant with Shao Yigui.After walking out of the restaurant gate, he glanced at Shao Yigui playfully, and asked, "You really don't need lunch after eating He Xiao's jealousy?"

The name that appeared inexplicably made Shao Yigui stunned for a moment, but he forgot to deny that he was jealous, and immediately asked in confusion, "What's the matter with He Xiao?"

Tang Linwen kindly explained: "Xiang Cheng is interested in He Xiao."

This is impossible, Shao Yigui is not blind, he can feel the emotions he is all too familiar with from the eyes of Xiang Cheng looking at Tang Linwen. "Why do you think that?"

Faced with this question, Tang Lin, who always had countless correct answers, hesitated for a while, and finally, the answer he said was extremely far-fetched: "Xiang Cheng also knows He Xiao."

Shao Yigui was instinctively confused by this unreasonable reason, and at the next moment, a sudden realization made his chest tight and painful.

At that time, Tang Linwen was drunk, and he said that he didn't believe that anyone would choose to like himself among their brothers.Even though those were your drunken words, Shao Yigui understood that those experiences that may constitute childhood shadows must have had an impact on Tang Linwen. However, he did not expect that the damage was not only skin-cut, but even deep-rooted.

"What did Xiang Cheng do for He Xiao to make you think so?" Shao Yigui delved into this question unconsciously.

Tang Linwen didn't understand Shao Yigui's sudden seriousness, but he still answered quite seriously: "First of all, Xiang Cheng came out publicly not long after he met He Xiao."

"How long did he know you then?"

"A month or two."

"How long have you known He Xiao?"

"More than a month."

"What else did he do?"

"He once wanted to cooperate with the 'Tang Dynasty' on the Xilin project. At that time, almost no one in the industry was optimistic about this project."

"What does this matter have to do with He Xiao?"

"'Tang Dynasty' has a relationship with He Xiao."

"But Tang Linwen is more closely related to the Xilin project, right?"

"Unnecessarily, he personally went to Tang's house to send He Xiao their company's anniversary invitation."

"At that time, when he visited the Tang family, he only sent invitations to He Xiao?"

"He did send me an invitation, but when he came to visit, only He Xiao was at home. When I got home, he left."

"Maybe he's just waiting for you. After seeing you, he will naturally complete the task and go home?"

"I know what you want to say, but the question of subjective factors can often lead to two completely different answers. This matter is irrelevant. We don't need to spend time discussing fruitless topics."

It was rare for Shao Yigui to refute Tang Lin's question with such certainty, "This matter is very important." Having said that, he looked at Tang Lin worriedly and asked, "I don't want to admit it, but I really can't find a reason to prove that I have any strengths to win." Guo Xiangcheng... If he likes you, do you think he is a better choice?"

Tang Linwen met Xiang Shao Yigui's inquisitive eyes quietly, and he admitted frankly: "At the beginning, I thought that if He Xiao chose you, it would be better to choose Xiang Cheng who is interesting to him."

Tang Linwen's judgment is always accurate and correct.Shao Yigui had no choice but to nod in agreement. "Anyway," he was worried but did not hesitate, "I will verify to you that the person Xiang Cheng likes is you."

He would rather take the risk of losing the other party, but also must prove to the latter how attractive Tang Linwen is and worthy of being liked by others.
