Under the cloister of Taoranting's nameless courtyard, Tao Zhiming lazily leaned on a wooden pillar.

There was the sound of gurgling water beside the pool in the courtyard. When the deer roared, the lotus leaves in the pool were gently pushed by the ripples caused by the pouring water.

This is what Sawaguchi Yasuko saw when she was brought over by Miki Kono.

Tao Zhiming didn't get up, but just smiled: "I'm sorry. If you don't mind, just sit here for a while. The scenery will be better and more relaxed."

Miki Kono brought a new cushion and placed it not far from her, then placed the tea and snacks in the room on a tray between the two of them, and left quietly.

After Sawaguchi Yasuko knelt down and sat aside, Tao Zhiming's eyes were still looking calmly at the pond in the courtyard.

He has a very leisurely attitude, which is very different from his impression.

The big shots had to treat him with caution, but now he has the air of a free and easy nobleman in some movies. Looking at the lotus leaves waving, he looks like a chef, and he looks very emotional.

"President Tao?" Sawaguchi Yasuko called softly.

"Sorry..." Tao Zhiming withdrew his gaze and sat up straighter, "I must have been too busy, and suddenly felt that such a quiet scenery was wonderful, so I was fascinated by it."

He didn't mean to show it to Yasuko Sawaguchi. To Tao Zhiming, Yasuko Sawaguchi's arrival was nothing. He did feel relaxed looking at the scenery.

When the dewdrops on the lotus leaf fall because the ripples shake the lotus leaf, isn't this the same as watching ants crawl when they were children?

Yasuko Sawaguchi would definitely think too much, so he smiled reservedly and said: "No wonder President Tao can create such excellent works. Your heart is also very sharp and rich."

"That's because I didn't have anything planned today. I thought it was a holiday, so I relaxed." Tao Zhiming looked at her and suddenly asked, "Miss Zeguchi, if I remember correctly, we seem to be

Same age."

"...Yes." Sawaguchi Yasuko smiled, "It's really embarrassing. I seem to be 4 months older than President Tao."

The two looked at each other, and Tao Zhiming picked up the teacup and saluted: "Sister Jingzi, please take care of me."

But Yasuko Sawaguchi couldn't be so trusting: "Please take care of President Tao. Besides, why do you call me sister? I am already 25 years old, and I am getting more and more anxious because of my age!"

In just a few words, the relationship seems to be closer than the previous pure cooperation.

You have paid attention to the year of my birth, and I even remember the month and day of your birthday.

If you call me sister, I will take the opportunity to express my inner hope.

Tao Zhiming took a sip of tea and smiled: "There are so many fans who like you, why are you anxious? I think you are more beautiful and more elegant now than when I first paid attention to you more than three years ago."

Yasuko Sawaguchi's eyes lit up, but she said somewhat flattered: "Oh, so President Tao paid attention to me more than three years ago?"

"Yes, but I actually didn't watch "Soy Sauce Axiang's Daughter" for the first time. At that time, I was going to start looking for a job."

"President Tao...were you looking for a job at that time?" Yasuko Sawaguchi asked with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Of course, I got to know President Kinoshita because I went to Mogami Hangsan for an interview." Tao Zhiming walked over lightly, "A lot of things happened in my life during that time."

Of course, Sawaguchi Yasuko probably knew something about it, and there were many reports about Tao Zhiming.

"...Time does fly by very quickly." Yasuko Sawaguchi said with emotion, "But now that I am 25 years old, my worries are real."

Tao Zhiming looked at her with a smile: "Sister Jingzi, are you ready to continue working hard as an actress?"

Yasuko Sawaguchi was silent for a moment, and then said firmly: "Of course. Although it is always regarded as a beautiful decoration in the work, I have been studying hard and improving my acting skills."

"Sister Jingzi mentioned a few scripts last night, let's talk about them." Tao Zhiming saw that she always brought the topic here, so he simply sat more upright, as if he was about to deal with work.

Yasuko Sawaguchi smiled: "Since President Tao regards today as a holiday, let's not talk about work for now."

Tao Zhiming was a little surprised, but then he smiled casually: "In this case, sister Jingzi calls me Tao Jun. President...that's also a work title."

"Yes. Are you going to sit around in this courtyard during Tao Jun's vacation?" Yasuko Sawaguchi's eyes were bright.

"...If we don't talk about work, then of course we can make other plans. Since sister Jingzi doesn't want to disturb my vacation, do you want to make an appointment next time?"

Yasuko Sawaguchi stared at him and said nothing for a while.

Tao Zhiming didn't look away, nor did he ask her to leave.

After a moment of silence, Tao Zhiming stood up and asked with a smile: "Or maybe Sister Jingzi is willing to spend a day off with me?"

No matter what, it is appropriate to take the initiative yourself.

After Sawaguchi Yasuko quickly stood up, he replied in a low voice: "Being able to have one day to ask Tao Jun for more advice is exactly what Yasuko has been looking forward to."

…

The private plane flew to Hokkaido again, and then, being picked up by a car at the Muroran Yacht Terminal, Tao Zhiming and Sawaguchi Yasuko boarded the 30-meter yacht placed in Nanpu Bay.

After chatting along the way, the distance between the two people became closer.

Tao Zhiming said with emotion: "If we had more time, we would have better arrangements. You are so famous that no matter where you go in Neon, you will cause a sensation."

"Isn't it the same with Tao Jun?" Sawaguchi Yasuko walked onto the deck with a smile, her back turned to him with her skirt fluttering, "It's good to look at the sea leisurely and continue to ask Tao Jun about the art of TV series and movies.

.”

The yacht started and sailed into Nanpu Bay.

Tao Zhiming looked at the current development in the surrounding area, and then said casually: "President Tsutsumi has obtained the development rights of Lake Toya, but it has not been launched on a large scale. With the two golf courses I built here, two

There is also a film and television base park in the marina, but it is not enough to change this place in just two years."

Hearing him mention Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, Yasuko Sawaguchi's expression froze.

The first time I met him, I went with Yoshiaki Tsutsumi.

Then what was his intention when he mentioned Tsutsumi Yoshiaki?

Tao Zhiming joked again: "Speaking of President Tsui, I heard that His Majesty Renming also admires you very much."

Yasuko Sawaguchi could not avoid the topic and turned her head to look at him quietly.

The sea breeze from the yacht started to blow her hair slowly. The smile in Yasuko Sawaguchi's eyes gradually faded. After a while, she asked, "Does Mr. Tao always like to joke like this?"

"Does Jingzi care about these rumors? I'm sorry, I just think this is proof of your charm. These should be things that make you happy..."

One is the "richest man in the world", and the other has the "most distinguished" status in Neon. There is indeed nothing wrong with what Tao Zhiming said.

Yasuko Sawaguchi's eyes were a little dazed, and then she slowly walked to the sofa on the deck with her arms folded and sat down, holding her cheek with one hand.

When Tao Zhiming also sat down, she said softly: "I heard Tao Jun singing yesterday. Since Tao Jun can still write scripts, should he also write lyrics? I wonder if there is anything that others have never heard that was completely composed by Tao Jun

song."

"...No." Tao Zhiming told the truth.

"Tao Jun is so sure of my charm, so does Tao Jun like me?" Yasuko Sawaguchi seemed to have made some decisions and spoke directly.

Tao Zhiming kept looking at her face, and nodded naturally when he heard this: "Of course I like it."

"Like my appearance?" Yasuko Sawaguchi smiled sweetly, "It seems that this love will not last long. After all, I am already 25 years old. So this kind of charm is not something that makes me happy."

The jumping topic seemed to be brought back, forming a self-consistent logic.

But Tao Zhiming shook his head: "Of course I don't just like your appearance. From the first film to this time, "My Love from the Star", Jingzi's efforts and progress will be seen by more people."

Yasuko Sawaguchi seemed to have expected such an answer and looked at him with a half-smile.

"You remind me of someone."

This surprised Yasuko Sawaguchi: "Who?"

"A woman I met in Idali." Tao Zhiming thought of her with some nostalgia, "My name is Monica Bellucci."

"Ah! That new star guide plan..."

Tao Zhiming looked at her meaningfully: "Jingzi really cares about these things."

Being in the sea, Sawaguchi Yasuko seemed to be much more free and easy. She smiled and replied: "Of course, I said I wanted to leave more and better works. The story of this Miss Monica Bellucci,

What’s it like?”

Tao Zhiming told her about Monica Bellucci, without concealing their relationship at all.

When Yasuko Sawaguchi heard about her initial boldness and her persistence in studying and expressing "human nature", and when Tao Zhiming conceived the script using her as an example, she couldn't help but be a little stunned: "Why... I would let

Tao Jun thinks of her?"

"Because you all have stunning looks, but you also all have your own inner pursuits, hoping that others will not only notice your beauty. I appreciate this very much. In other words, in fact, in your hearts, career is more important than

Love and marriage are more important.”

Yasuko Sawaguchi lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and forced a smile: "Actually, Mr. Tao doesn't understand me either."

"Of course." Tao Zhiming nodded in agreement, "After all, it's the first time for us to chat like this like friends. What I said is just my personal impression of you so far."

"Since Mr. Tao thinks I'm very attractive, why didn't you invite me earlier alone to get to know me for two years?"

Seeing her serious question, Tao Zhiming stared into her eyes and asked, "Jingzi, do you hope I understand you?"

"Of course." Yasuko Sawaguchi nodded seriously, "Before, because I served as the spokesperson for Bravosport and because I appeared in the TV series Dimensional Investment, there were rumors about you and me in newspapers and magazines. Before it was related to me

Among the many rumors, this is the only one. In fact, I was looking forward to your reaction."

"...I disappoint you." Tao Zhiming laughed when he thought of the situation last year, "I have always been indifferent to such baseless rumors."

Then he looked at Yasuko Sawaguchi and asked doubtfully: "Are you expecting my reaction? Although you didn't know the story of me and Monica at that time, Shana, you knew it. In your eyes, I also have

Charming? Is it because of the money?"
