For several days in a row, Wang Tao was like a man possessed, chanting "musala" all the time. When he opened his eyes in the morning, he was chanting "musala". When he went for a morning run, he was chanting "musala". When he was eating, he was chanting "musala".
Even when I go to the toilet, I still talk about mushala.
Two days have passed since I received Lin Qianxue's message. But Wang Tao is still like a headless fly, with no clue.
Chen Kexin has become the nominal head of the Chen family. Although few in the Chen family take her seriously, Chen Kexin still starts to take care of the Chen family's affairs seriously. The number of meetings and phone calls with Wang Tao has been significantly reduced.

Siyuan International, led by Qiao Meigui, has developed a second-generation beauty and skin care product - "Back to Eighteen" based on its flagship product 'Don't be too glamorous'.
Because of the good reputation of not being too glamorous and the well-executed advertising, 'Back to 18' immediately caused a rush to buy as soon as it was put on the market. It also became the focus of major media reports. Siyuan International's
The official website has tens of millions of clicks every day, attracting major portal websites to come to discuss cooperation matters.
Today, Siyuan International has become a hot beauty and cosmetics company, and "Back to Eighteen" has become the darling of the media. Angel, a world-renowned multinational cosmetics company, has even taken the initiative to acquire Siyuan International.
Qiao Meigui seemed very calm about the praise from the outside world. She was not as excited as those young company executives. She was carefully reading the company's monthly financial statements.
The profit and loss of a company can only be reflected in the financial statements. Of course, some tricky accountants may make false accounts, but how can Qiao Rose be a fuel-efficient lamp? She gives power to her subordinates and encourages them to be bold and confident.
While doing, innovating, and pioneering, she will also quietly release a falcon.
Nowadays, Siyuan International is very attracted by Qiao Rose. She travels to all major high-end celebrity social venues. She is well-rounded, welcomes and greets people, and brings the level of public relations to the extreme. Her enchanting and sexy figure often appears in
The main website of major American media. Her exposure even exceeds that of many domestic front-line women. Some agents even approached her and invited her to star in the most popular TV series "The Legend of Zhen Huan 3".
For Angel's negotiator, Qiao Meigui mercilessly refused in public. Siyuan International was founded by her and Wang Tao with great pains. Now that it was just on the right track, someone came to propose an acquisition. Siyuan International was equivalent to her and Wang Tao's child.
How can a mother be so cruel as to sell her child?
***Angel! Why don't you sell your child cruelly? Qiao Meigui cursed viciously in her heart.
Scolding goes without saying, Qiao Meigui knows the despicable tricks of these dirty businessmen. Since they are concerned about your company and the acquisition fails, they don't want to do everything possible to prevent your company from operating normally.
She knew that calling Wang Tao at this time would not get any help, so she drank all the coffee in the cup in one gulp, raised her fist, gritted her teeth, and said fiercely: "Come on, Angel, come and give me a good fight."
Fight, I’m not afraid of you!”
…
…
In the morning, after Wang Tao finished his run, he did not go back to his courtyard to have breakfast as usual, but walked to the front door of the school. When he was running the last lap just now, he vaguely saw a petite figure at the gate.
When I took a closer look, it turned out to be Niu Niu.
"Niuniu, what are you doing here?" Wang Tao asked, wiping the sweat on his face with a white towel.
"Brother, is that you?" Niu Niu ran over excitedly carrying a big plastic bucket. "I'm here to get Grandpa some wine." She said with a smile.
When he came to Wang Tao, Niu Niu grinned. Wang Tao was stunned. He found that Niu Niu was missing two front teeth.
"Niuniu, tell me who bullied you. Why did your teeth fall out?" Wang Tao squatted down and asked nervously.
"It's okay. No one bullies me." Niu Niu waved her little hand and said, "Grandpa said I was changing my teeth. Grandpa also said that I have grown up and will be an adult soon."
Reaching out and touching the two braids on Niu Niu's head, Wang Tao smiled and said: "Of course Niu Niu will grow up soon. When she grows up, no one will dare to bully Niu Niu."
Niu Niu smiled happily.
"By the way, Niuniu, has your grandfather bought wine?" Wang Tao asked.
Niuniu shook her head and said dejectedly: "I didn't get any wine. Grandpa likes to drink the wine sold in the Northeast Red Sorghum Hotel across the street, but that hotel is closed now."
Following Niuniu's gaze, Wang Tao turned around and saw the casual hotel across the street. Sure enough, on the rolling shutter door of the hotel, there was a big word "Jidian Transfer" written in red on black paper.
"Let's go, my brother will take you to sell wine." Wang Tao stood up and took Niu Niu's little hand into a supermarket. Not long after, the two people walked out with a smile. Each of them held two bottles of Beijing Erguotou in their hands.
…
…
Niuniu's home is much poorer than Wang Tao imagined. There are two low-rise wooden houses, one is used as a bedroom and the other is used as a kitchen. Because this is a shanty town, surrounded by tall buildings, people can see it almost all year round.
No sunlight.
At this time, there was thick smoke coming out of the wooden house.
"Grandpa, I'm back. What are you doing?" Niu Niu shouted loudly. Her voice was clear and childish.
There was a cough in the cabin.
"Niuniu is back. I'm lighting the stove." An old voice came from the wooden house: "The briquettes we want this year are too wet, and our place doesn't see sunlight all year round. It's difficult to burn dry briquettes. Just now
The briquettes were replaced a little late, and the stove was extinguished by the wet briquettes——Why, Niuniu, you brought guests?"
Wang Tao and Niuniu braved the smoke and walked into the board room. After putting Erguotou on the table, Wang Tao helped the old man up behind him and carried the old man's thin body outside the board room. Wang Tao found that the old man was much thinner than the last time he met. It was simply
You could call him skinny and skinny.
"Who is it? It turns out to be the little miracle doctor!" The old man's yellow eyes looked at Wang Tao's face with surprise, and he said with a smile: "What kind of wind brought the little miracle doctor here today?"
Wang Tao smiled and said: "The wind is from the southeast to the northwest."
The old man laughed loudly. He suddenly coughed violently while laughing.
Wang Tao quickly helped the old man sit on the horse outside the door, reached out and gently stroked the old man's back, and began to massage the lung meridian on the old man's arms with both hands. Niu Niu's little face was covered with tears from the smoke, and she was cute.
Give grandpa a cup of tea.
After drinking two sips of tea, the old man finally stopped coughing.
Due to lack of oxygen, the old man's skinny cheeks turned red, but his mental state was very good. He stretched out his hand and pulled Wang Tao to sit beside him. The old man smiled and said: "People are rare in their seventies, and my old bones have already lived a lot."
Fifty-seventy to seventy, it’s worth it when I think about it.”
He wanted to comfort the old man with a few words, but when he thought that the old man in front of him was suffering from cancer just like his grandfather, Wang Tao didn't know how to open his mouth for a while.
After seeing that the old man was fine, Wang Tao walked into the wooden house, lifted the stove outside the door, squatted down, and skillfully used an iron hook to remove the soot at the bottom of the furnace.
The stove used by the old man was still an old-style iron stove, which was very big and heavy. No wonder the old man would light the stove in the house. Even Wang Tao found it difficult to move such a stove.
"Brother, drink water."
Niu Niu reached out and handed Wang Tao a white porcelain cup. Inside the quilt was a cup of fragrant and pleasant tea.
Wang Tao wiped his sweat, took the cup and drank all the tea in one gulp. The cup was very white and clean. Obviously, Niuniu had cleaned the cup more than once just now. Seeing Wang Tao drink it in one breath without any taboo.
After finishing the tea, Niu Niu grinned, with a small pear dimple showing at the right corner of her mouth.
The stove was finally lit, Niuniu took the big aluminum pot and started cooking skillfully. Wang Tao leaned against the old man and sat outside the wooden house chatting. Although this place is a bit humid, there is one advantage, that is, it is cool. Sitting here is basically
No need to shake the cattail leaf fan. Wang Tao couldn't imagine how the grandfather and grandson lived in this dark and damp wooden house in winter.
"Grandpa, I heard from Niu Niu that you seem to have contracted a canteen near the school. You and Niu Niu can definitely live in the canteen. These two wooden houses are dark and damp and are not suitable for you and Niu Niu to live at all." Wang Tao said with concern.
The old man sighed and said: "It's a long story. The urban management officials said that my canteen was an illegal building and they demolished it without my consent at all. Niuniu and I can only rely on me now.
I can use my little pension to live on.”
When the urban management was mentioned, Wang Tao became angry. Frowning, Wang Tao asked curiously: "Grandpa, are you a national cadre?"
The old man laughed and said: "What kind of cadre is not a cadre? I have only carried a gun for a few years and been on the sea a few times. What kind of bullshit cadre can I be called? Niuniu, go get the photos of grandpa and let the miracle doctor take a look.
.”
Talking about his past scenery, the old man's face glowed brightly and his mental state was even better than before.
"Grandpa---" Niu Niu put down the white porcelain bowl in her little hand, and said with a long tone, "Every time you chat with someone, you show them your old photos. I don't mind it even if you don't mind it."
Tired of it."
The old man was startled, glanced at Wang Tao with some shame, smiled, and said: "See, this little girl hasn't grown up yet, and she's starting to reveal the truth about me, an old man. It's true that women are not allowed to stay."
Niuniu, who had just ran out the door with the photo, heard her grandfather's words and blushed for no reason. A pair of big eyes glanced at Wang Tao's face, put down the photo, turned around and ran away.
Wang Tao's eyes were all attracted by the old photos, and he didn't even notice the changes on Niu Niu's face.
Suddenly, Wang Tao's eyes froze and he stared at a photo in the old man's hand without blinking. He saw three words written on the back of the photo - Musala!
