MTL - Wildfire-Chapter 74
Either you don't pick it up, or you have to look good when you do it. Tao Xiaodong took on such a big job for himself, and he didn't stop until the end of the exhibition.
Tao Xiaodong has been dissatisfied with the works in the main exhibition area for a long time, and he is tired of reading the ones in the newspaper. Those who can have an official booth in the main exhibition area are not ordinary people. For a place of 100,000 a day, the 100,000 spent must be heard. It is easy to make money with a scale. The income brought by this position is far greater than that of 100,000 The daily price is much higher.
But this itself is also a place to support the appearance. Tao Xiaodong also disagrees if he can’t come up with good things to give 200,000 yuan a day. Don’t be ashamed, the main exhibition area must have people who can look good.
Tao Xiaodong impatiently put down a pile of albums in his hand and threw them aside.
"I want a place along the route, give it to him?" Rhubarb sat opposite Tao Xiaodong and asked him.
Tao Xiaodong picked out the picture along the line, flipped through it, and threw it away: "No."
"What do you say if you don't tell me?" Rhubarb smiled embarrassingly, "If you say it, you will be unhappy, and then you will hold a grudge."
"Pictures are not as good as one year." Tao Xiaodong sneered, "My mind is so crooked that I want to make money, my hands are so empty, I'm tired of looking at it."
"Then you tell him yourself." Da Huang also pulled out a picture book and looked at it casually, "There are no outstanding pictures this year, but those from before."
"It's all leftovers from playing outside, and no one understands it." Tao Xiaodong frowned, pinching the bridge of his eyebrows and nose, "A poor man."
"Keep your eyes down." Rhubarb said, "If you choose according to your standard, no one will be qualified. Every family has supporters and lame ones. It's almost enough."
"That's not necessarily true." Tao Xiaodong sneered, turned his head and chin to draw an arc towards the work area, "I don't have any lame legs, so pull out the best ones to support the family."
Da Huang nodded with a smile and said yes: "Yes, your family is the best, so you will be crazy."
Having said that, in fact, there are too many excellent tattoo artists, and there are also many masters. After seeing many pictures, Tao Xiaodong has to say that he is awesome and strong. But he needs a stand to support the pavilion. The main exhibition area cannot be divided into small booths. He needs a full-style booth, and there are too few works.
Those old-fashioned cultures are really too "old", and you have to play "old" ones better than outsiders, or you can play new ones. So after picking and picking, Tao Xiaodong couldn't pick out one that caught his eye.
On weekends, he worked with the outsourcing team in the store to discuss the process. Tang Suoyan took Tao Huainan and Chi Cheng out for dinner at noon, and packed them for him after eating. Tao Xiaodong's voice was a little hoarse, and he drank half a glass of juice.
Seeing him coming, he smiled and called Brother Yan, moved to the side, and gave Tang Suoyan the seat next to him.
"Are they going home?"
Tang Suo said, "Go home and take a nap."
"Are you sleepy? Do you want to take a break?" Tao Xiaodong asked him softly.
"No need," Tang Suoyan moved closer to him, and whispered into his ear, "I said to accompany you."
Tao Xiaodong then smiled and continued talking to people.
The planners sitting across from Tao Xiaodong had cooperated with Tao Xiaodong many times before, and they were familiar with each other, so they smiled clearly.
Several of their proposals were rejected by Tao Xiaodong, and the design of the venue could not be finalized.
It’s too much trouble to hold an exhibition, there are too many things, and you can find rhubarb for business, but Tao Xiaodong can’t make the decision for pictures.
Tao Xiaodong had ulcers in his mouth again, and he felt aggrieved, so he asked at home at night, "I can't take so many vitamin supplements every day?"
"You are supplementing with vitamin A." Tang Suoyan told him while holding tweezers to apply oral ulcer patches to him.
"I have supplemented vitamin A, so I must also have vitamin C when I eat so many fruits and vegetables." Tao Xiaodong said.
After applying the medicine, Tang Suoyan sterilized the tweezers with alcohol cotton and said, "Vitamin C can't cure ulcers."
"Then I can only feel the pain?" Tao Xiaodong put his chin on Tang Suoyan's shoulder, his tongue was a little numb from the medicine, and he couldn't speak very clearly.
Tang Suoyan smiled and said, "Isn't this a medicine for you? You can take an anti-inflammatory medicine later."
My tongue also hurts when I talk to people, and it will "hiss" from time to time. After everyone left, Tang Suoyan sat on the sofa and gave him another pill.
Tang Suoyan asked him if it hurt, Tao Xiaodong hummed in a low voice and said "it's okay".
After the medicine was over and his tongue became less numb, Tao Xiaodong sat on the sofa and made a phone call.
Tang Suoyan went to wash his hands, came back and sat next to Tao Xiaodong, peeling oranges while listening to Tao Xiaodong's phone call.
"Excuse me, brother." Tao Xiaodong took an orange from Tang Suoyan's hand and ate it, and said to the phone, "You look like a recluse, you live so peacefully, I really envy you .”
The other party didn't know what to say, Tao Xiaodong smiled and scolded: "Fart, can you stop talking to me?"
The person on the phone was Tao Xiaodong who met in the black area when he was young. At that time, the two were studying in the same place. Tao Xiaodong's personality is compatible with everyone. The two have a very good relationship and are very close friends. But my old friend's personality is too boring, and he doesn't look down on fame and fortune. He has guarded his own realm for so many years and has become a master in the world. Those who steal pictures from him have become masters. This one is still hidden.
This time Tao Xiaodongfei wanted to dig him out, and always hid behind when it was time to shine.
Tao Xiaodong's "brother" reminded both of them of the time when they were outside together. The other party then said "brother", except for not showing your face, the work is up to you; Tao Xiaodong said "brother", if others give me a place of 100,000 a day, I don't want to give you money, but you have to show your face.
Tao Xiaodong ate a whole orange that Tang Suoyan had peeled while he was on the phone, and it was only after eating that his tongue hurt so sore, he hissed, saying it hurt.
Now that I know it hurts, I rely on the back of the sofa to hide from others, and whisper to the handsome doctor. Tang Suoyan had a warm smile on his brows and eyes, and he smiled from time to time, not knowing what the two of them were talking about, but the atmosphere was very close at first glance.
One month before the exhibition, Tao Xiaodong went on a business trip completely. He had to watch on the spot, and the remote control would not work.
Among them, Tang Suoyan actually went on two weekends. Even though Tao Xiaodong repeatedly emphasized on the phone that he was not required to go, and that he should rest well or go to the laboratory to keep an eye on it, Tang Suoyan still flew over on Friday night.
When I first arrived at Tao Xiaodong Hotel at eleven o'clock in the evening, I knocked on his door.
Tao Xiaodong was already going to sleep, but was called up temporarily to order something urgently, and turned on the computer to collect files. As soon as the door opened, seeing Dr. Tang at the door, he was surprised and shocked, and asked with a smile, "Why are you really here?"
Tang Suoyan kissed him on the mouth and entered the room: "Don't you say you miss me last night?"
Tao Xiaodong took two steps aside to let him in, and the moment he closed the door, his heart skipped a beat.
—Staying up and staring at the computer in the middle of the night, people caught him on the spot.
"...Brother Yan." Tao Xiaodong hung on the man from behind, leaned his face on the man's shoulder, pretending not to move.
"I thought you were more obedient." Tang Suoyan chuckled, and turned his head back, "The light is so dim, and the computer didn't adjust the eye protection, so the eyes are gone?"
When Tao Xiaodong heard the laughter, his heart tightened immediately, knowing that he was about to get angry.
Just now when Tang Suoyan got off the plane, the two of them just sent a WeChat message. Tao Xiaodong himself said that he was going to sleep, which seemed to be a lie.
"Yes, I didn't lie to you." Tao Xiaodong didn't let go, surrounded the people from behind, and explained in a low voice, "I never lied to you, every day I said I slept, I really slept, and I said I took medicine, I really took it, today I woke up temporarily I need a document too urgently. Just today, I can show you the record."
As he was talking, he was going to check the records with his mobile phone, only to realize that it was said on the phone just now, and he couldn't find the text even if he tried to find it.
"I'm not going to lie to you." Tao Xiaodong showed him the call log, "It's 11:06, that's what I'm talking about."
Tao Xiaodong was afraid that Tang Suoyan would be disappointed. In fact, the rules Tang Suoyan gave him were not necessarily so strict, as long as he knew it in his own mind. But lying and perfunctory is not the same as that, so Tao Xiaodong didn't want Tang Suoyan to misunderstand.
"I listen to you, I listen to everything you say." Tao Xiaodong stood in front of Tang Suoyan, rubbing the top of his head, "Do you believe me, Brother Yan?"
He explained that he was a little anxious, his eyes were full of affection, Tang Suoyan looked at him, how could he not be moved. For a person like Tao Xiaodong, no one is really willing to be angry with him, and before he gets angry, he has already dissipated all the anger.
"Trust. Just kidding," Tang Suoyan smiled, and raised his hand to shave his face, "Just count yourself."
"Damn... scared me to death." Tao Xiaodong laughed again, raised his arms and put his arms around the person in front of him, and put his nose on his neck and shoulders, missing and infatuated with him.
I haven't seen you in two weeks, I've thought about it.
Tang Suoyan wore a simple white T-shirt and slacks, looking young and clean, more casual and natural than usual shirts. When Tao Xiaodong put his arms around him, his hands went directly into his T-shirt, covering half of his waist.
"This is my clothes, right?" Tao Xiaodong liked it so much. Tang Suoyan's faint medicinal scent spread around when he was hugging her like this. Under his palms were Tang Suoyan's thin waist and his body temperature.
"Really." Tang Suoyan kissed his ear and whispered, "Hurry up and collect your documents, I'll take a shower."
"Hey, okay." Tao Xiaodong also thought so, and immediately agreed.
However, after agreeing, the two were still reluctant to let go, and hugged each other quietly for a long time, feeling each other's heartbeat.
It must be different to be accompanied by someone on a business trip. The two weekends accompanied by Tang Suoyan and Tao Xiaodong are so beautiful.
He intentionally wanted Tang Suoyan to rest in the hotel, no difference, mainly because the visual impact of places where tattoo lovers gather might be a bit big, and he was afraid that Tang Suoyan would not be able to bear this.
Tang Suo said it was all right.
Tao Xiaodong then took him to look at the venue, the venue was basically finished, and now we are waiting for the tattoo artists and various works to be in place.
Rhubarb was also there, basically Rhubarb was helping him socialize, and Tao Xiaodong couldn't get away.
An acquaintance saw Tao Xiaodong and Tang Suoyan next to him, Tao Xiaodong generously introduced: "Doctor Tang, my boyfriend."
The other party gave a thumbs up.
Tang Suoyan's demeanor is too outstanding, serious and clean, maybe a bit out of place in the venue of the tattoo exhibition. But if you look at these two people regardless of the environment, they are an absolute match. They are all similar in height and body, and their looks and temperament are also unusual. They carry the self-confidence of a strong man, and they are calm in any environment.
In the past, it was Tao Xiaodong who was thinking about Tang Suoyan and others, saying that they were a good match. Now in the eyes of others, he is the one who is the best match for Tang Suoyan.
Thinking of this Tao Xiaodong smiled, there is no place to talk about fate, and it is very interesting to think about it.
Tao Xiaodong's tattoo exhibition this year went smoothly and was successfully completed.
A number of excellent works that amazed international friends appeared at the exhibition. Domestic tattoo artists have been making progress. The combination of Chinese culture and tattoo culture is another unique and shocking beauty.
The tattoo exhibition took Tao Xiaodong several months, but it was not in vain. After one exhibition, Tao Xiaodong earned enough money for him to invest in medical aid for two years. This is only the income of the exhibition itself in those few days, not counting the subsequent income. Intangible benefits.
Tian Yi and Xia Yuan said to him: "It's too easy to make money."
Tao Xiaodong disagreed: "This is my hard-earned money."
"I've worked hard too, you still have to work hard like me? Overtime and extra work will cost you eighty thousand a month." Tian Yi felt unbalanced after thinking about it, "You report the money for your godson's milk powder."
Xia Yuan sneered, Tao Xiaodong also laughed, nodded and said, "Report. Didn't I report the milk powder money for a year?"
"You have one son, don't you have two sons?" Tian Yi was not shy at all, and he was not soft on the big money. "It depends on the godfather how much milk powder you drink."
Tao Xiaodong smiled and transferred a sum of milk powder money with his mobile phone.
Xia Yuan also transferred a sum, Tian Yi took it together, and said with a sigh: "These days, fathers are not good enough, and there are godfathers. I am the most serious father, and I saved them for godfathers and uncles early." , I don’t know if my wisdom has been passed on to them.”
"You're still smart," Xia Yuan snorted lightly, "You're shameless."
