Under the corridor of the nameless courtyard of Taoranting, Tao Zhiming leaned lazily against the wooden pillars.

The sound of gurgling water flowing sounded by the pool in the courtyard. When the deer wave sounded, the lotus leaves in the pool were gently pushed by the ripples caused by the pouring water flow.

When Yasuko Sawaguchi was brought over by Miki Kono, she saw this scene.

Tao Zhiming didn't get up either, but just smiled: "It's rude. If you don't mind, just sit here, the scenery will be better and more relaxed."

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

After Zekou Yasuko knelt aside, she looked at Tao Zhiming calmly at the pond in the courtyard.

His leisurely posture is very different from what he remembers.

He was so cautious that the big guys had to treat him carefully, but now he had the demeanor of a free and easy young man in some movies. Seeing the lotus leaves shining, the appearance of the chef god seemed very emotional.

"President Tao?" Yasuko Zekou shouted softly.

"Sorry..." Tao Zhiming withdrew his gaze and sat upright. "It was probably always too busy. Suddenly, I felt that such a quiet scenery was wonderful, so I could see it."

He didn't mean to show it to Yasuko Zekou. For Tao Zhiming, Yasuko Zekou came was nothing. He really felt very relaxed when he looked at the scenery.

When did the dewdrops on the lotus leaves fall down due to the ripples? Isn’t this the same as watching how ants crawl when I was a child?

But Yasuko Zeguchi would definitely think too much, so she smiled reservedly: "No wonder President Tao can create such excellent works. You are also very keen and rich in your heart."

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

"...Yes." Yasuko Zeguchi smiled, "It's so ashamed. I seem to be 4 months older than President Tao."

The two looked at each other, Tao Zhiming picked up the teacup and greeted him: "Sister Yasuko, please take care of him."

But Yasuko Zekou couldn't be so arrogant: "I'd like to ask President Tao to take care of me. And 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 pure cooperation before.

You have followed the year of my birth, and I even remembered what month and day you had on 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: "With so many fans like you, what are you anxious about? I think you are more beautiful and more elegant than when I just paid attention to you more than three years ago."

Yasuko Zekou's eyes lit up, but she said in a little flattered manner: "Oh, did President Tao pay attention to me more than three years ago?"

"Yes, but I didn't actually watch "Soy A Xiang's Daughter" as soon as possible. At that time, I was about to start looking for a job."

"President Tao... had he found a job at that time?" Yasuko Zekou asked with an incredible look on her face.

"Of course, I can get to know President Kinoshita because I went to the Supreme Hengsheng interview." Tao Zhiming took it over lightly, "During that time, a lot of things happened in my life."

Of course, Yasuko Zekou probably knew a little, and there were a lot of reports about Tao Zhiming.

"… Time flies really fast." Yasuko Sawaguchi said with emotion, "But now I am 25 years old, my worries are real."

Tao Zhiming looked at her with a smile: "Is Sister Jingzi ready to work hard as an actor?"

Yasuko Zeguchi was silent for a moment, then said firmly: "Of course. Although I am always used as a beautiful decoration in my work, I have been learning hard and improving my acting skills."

"Last night, Sister Jingzi mentioned a few scripts and talk about it." Seeing that she always brought the topic here, Tao Zhiming simply sat up more accurately, looking like she had to deal with the work.

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

Tao Zhiming was a little surprised, and then laughed: "Since that's the case, Sister Jingzi called me Tao Jun privately. President... that's also the title of work."

"Yes, Tao Jun is going to sit in this yard during his holiday?" Yasuko Zekou's eyes were shiny.

"...If you don't talk about work, of course you can arrange other plans. Since Sister Yasuko is unwilling to disturb my vacation, then do you want to make an appointment next time?"

Yasuko Zeguchi stared at him without saying a word for a moment.

Tao Zhiming did not avoid his eyes and did not ask her to leave.

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

No matter what, you need to take the initiative to be more appropriate.

After Zekou Yasuko stood up, she replied in a low voice: "It is what Yasuko has been looking forward to if she can ask Tao Jun for more advice one day."

...

The private plane flew another trip to Hokkaido, and then at the yacht marina that day, Tao Zhiming and Zekou Yasuko boarded the 30-meter yacht placed in Nanpu Bay.

After chatting all the way, the distance between the two people was closer.

Tao Zhiming said with emotion: "If you have more time, you will have better arrangements. Your fame is too great and it will cause a sensation no matter where Neon goes."

"Isn't Tao Jun the same?" Yasuko Zekou walked onto the deck with a smile, with her back facing her skirt floating, "Looking at the sea leisurely and continuing to ask Tao Jun for the art of TV series and movies, which is great."

The yacht started and drove into Nanpu Bay.

Tao Zhiming looked at the current development of the surrounding area and then said casually: "President Dike took the development rights of Lake Toya, but it has not started on a large scale. Just relying on the two golf courses I built here, two small yacht marinas and a film and television base creation park, it is not enough to make this place change in just two years."

When he heard him mention Yoshiaki Tsuki, Yasuko Zeguchi's expression became stiff.

The first time I saw him was with Yoshiaki Tori.

Then what is his purpose when he mentioned Tsushimaki?

Tao Zhiming joked again: "When it comes to President Di, I also heard that His Majesty Renming admires you very much."

Yasuko Zeguchi could not avoid this topic and turned her head to look at him quietly.

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

"Does Yasuko care about these rumors? Sorry, I just think this is also a proof of your charm. These should be something that makes you happy..."

One is the "richest man in the world" and the other has the "most noble" identity of Neon. Tao Zhiming said this, there is indeed no problem.

Yasuko Zekou's eyes became a little confused, then she slowly walked to the sofa on the deck with her arms and sat down, supporting her cheeks with one hand.

When Tao Zhiming sat down, she whispered: "I heard Tao Jun sing yesterday. Since Tao Jun can still write scripts, should he also write lyrics? I wonder if there is any song that others have never heard of, and is completely written by Tao Jun."

"...No." Tao Zhiming said the truth.

"Tao Jun is so sure of my charm. Does Tao Jun like me?" Yasuko Zekou 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."

"I like my appearance?" Yasuko Zeguchi smiled sweetly, "It seems that this love won't last. After all, I'm already 25 years old. So this charm is not something that makes me happy."

The topic of jumping seems to be pulled back, forming a self-consistent logic.

But Tao Zhiming shook his head: "Of course, it's not just about your appearance. From the first part to this "You from the Star", more people will see Yasuko's efforts and progress."

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

"You reminded me of someone."

This surprised Yasuko Zeguchi: "Who?"

"A woman I met in Idali." Tao Zhiming thought of a little longing, "the name is Monica Beluchi."

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

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

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

Tao Zhiming told her about Monica Bellucci, without hiding the relationship between the two.

When Yasuko Zekou heard her boldness at the beginning and her persistence in researching and expressing “human nature”, she couldn’t help but be stunned when she heard the script that Tao Zhiming conceived with her as an example: “Why…I remind Tao Jun of her?”

"Because you all have amazing looks, but you also have your own inner pursuits. I hope others will not only notice your beauty. I appreciate this. Or in fact, career is more important than love and marriage in your heart."

Yasuko Zekou lowered her head and thought for a while before she looked up and smiled reluctantly: "Actually, Tao Jun doesn't understand me either."

"That's of course." Tao Zhiming nodded in agreement, "After all, it's the first time we chat like a friend. What I'm talking about is just my personal impression of you until now."

"Since Tao Jun thinks I am very charming, it has been two years, why didn't you invite me alone earlier and get to know me?"

Tao Zhiming looked at her and asked seriously, then stared into her eyes and asked, "Does Yasuko hope I understand you?"

"Of course." Yasuko Sawaguchi nodded very seriously. "Before, because I was the spokesperson for Bravosport, because I starred in TV series of dimensional investment, rumors about you and me have been spread in newspapers and magazines. Among the many rumors related to me, this is the only one. Actually, I have looked forward to your reaction."

"...I disappoint you." Tao Zhiming laughed in silence when he remembered last year's situation. "I am always indifferent to such rumors that have no basis."

Then he looked at Yasuko Zeguchi and asked in confusion: "Are you looking forward to my reaction? Although you didn't know the story between Monica and me at that time, you know Shana. In your eyes, am I also charming? Is it because of money?"

After talking about this, what the two of them said was very direct. Whether it was beauty or money, it seemed that they were just a question about **.

Yasuko Zeguchi, who has always been very pure in image, has a surprisingly rational way of chatting.

Upon hearing this, she shook her head: "Of course it's not just money. From the beginning of no one knows and no foundation, to having such wealth and strength, your life is like a movie. When the movie about your life has a plot related to me, I will of course look forward to your reaction."

Tao Zhiming said this statement without missing a trace, and she also explained the previous "reaction that was looking forward to him".

Yasuko Zekou continued: "Jun Tao mentioned President Thi just now and mentioned His Majesty, so I took the liberty to make a comparison."

Tao Zhiming looked at her, wanting to hear what other special point she could say.

"In my eyes, most people, each of them, also have his unique charm. If the charm that Tao Jun mentioned is the kind of charm that comes from the opposite sex I understand, then if it is because of money, wouldn't President Di be more charming? If it is because of status, the same is true."

Tao Zhiming understood and grinned, "What you mean is that this is a math problem with a lot of bonus and deduction."

"No, Tao Jun." Yasuko Zekou looked at him with complicated eyes, "How could life be a question? Just like what Tao Jun said, your impression of me is just a personal impression so far. Before that, we each had their own lives. Even if you are excellent in my eyes, I am excellent in your eyes, but what does that have to do with your life?"
