But her figure was so good that the pattern on the uniform was distorted.
Star fruit doesn't suit heavy makeup; heavy makeup makes it look a bit unnatural.
So, following Cao Meng's advice, she applied a light makeup, which made her look radiant, elegant, dignified, and beautiful.
Yang Tao is very poised and elegant in front of others, but when she is in the throes of a passionate relationship with Cao Meng, she becomes particularly lively and outgoing.
She threw herself into Cao Meng's arms and kissed him immediately.
After kissing for a while, Cao Meng still touched her hip bone with some concern and asked, "Does it still hurt?"
Yang Tao smiled and said, "I've rested for three days and I'm perfectly fine. Look at me, I'm as lively as ever!"
Cao Meng shook his head and said, "No, I'm still not at ease. I need to give you a full body checkup!"
Yang Tao initially genuinely thought Cao Meng was giving her a full-body checkup, but after a while, she realized that this guy was taking advantage of her.
She pouted and said coquettishly, "You're so mean, you bad guy, always taking advantage of me!"
Cao Meng suddenly felt that these words were familiar, as if Sister Gan Jing often said them.
Cao Meng teased Yang Tao on purpose: "You say I'm annoying, you say I'm a bad guy, then I won't take advantage of you anymore. I'll become a virtuous gentleman like Liu Xiahui who can remain unmoved even with a woman in his lap!"
Yang Tao was a little puzzled; she had only been being coquettish, but Cao Meng had taken it seriously.
Has this guy ever been in a relationship? In a relationship, the more a girl says you hate bad guys, the more she actually likes you doing those things. Doesn't he know that?
Yang Tao immediately realized that Cao Meng was just teasing her on purpose.
She then teased Cao Meng in return, saying, "You think you can be a saint like Liu Xiahui? I think you're more likely to be vulgar!"
Cao Meng chuckled and said, "Then I'll be a little vulgar. I don't think I've ever dated a woman in this office before."
How about we do our morning exercises right here in this office!
Yang Tao blushed with embarrassment and gave Yang Tao a coquettish glare, saying, "You really are vulgar. How can you have a date in the office? Someone could come at any time."
Besides, unfortunately, my period started this morning!
Yang Tao felt very sorry. For the past three days, while lying in bed, she kept dreaming about Cao Meng, and the content of the dream was really inappropriate for children.
Yang Tao made up her mind that once she recovered from her injuries, she would go to a hotel with Cao Meng.
The hotel I booked was the same four-star hotel I had stayed at before!
Yang Tao had even planned out what clothes and underwear she would wear that day.
Unexpectedly, my period came. This period is so annoying.
Aunt Flo is probably the most annoying relative for everyone.
Cao Meng was both amused and exasperated: "This relative of yours is so annoying, he comes every month, it's driving me crazy!"
Yang Tao couldn't help but shake her head and smile bitterly, "It's really annoying. I was originally prepared to go with you to the four-star hotel where I used to work."
I know there's a couples' room over there that's really romantic, and I've been wanting to try it out with my boyfriend for a while now.
I even planned out what clothes I would wear and what sexy lingerie I would wear underneath, and then this damned period!
Cao Meng knew that Yang Tao was not lying to him, because Yang Tao had a faint smell of blood on her, which meant that she must have been changed that morning.
He hugged the starfruit and said, "Peach, I'm going to eat you now. Even Jesus can't stop me. I'm telling you, it'll be a few days later at most!"
This line came from a Hong Kong movie, and Yang Tao immediately giggled.
She said coquettishly, "I'll wash this peach until it's sparkling clean, it'll taste delicious!"
Cao Meng laughed heartily, "What kind of predatory lines are these!"
Yang Tao gave Cao Meng a charming eye roll and said, "You become like the company you keep. She's such a good girl, and you've corrupted her!"
Cao Meng chuckled mischievously, "In a few days, I'll show you just how wicked I can be!"
Upon hearing the term "brother," Yang Tao suddenly remembered her mother's concerns and quickly asked Cao Meng, "I'm 33 years old this year, 10 years older than you. Don't you mind?"
Looking at Yang Tao, who was extremely beautiful, dignified, bright and generous, Cao Meng said, "If she were just average-looking and 10 years older than me, of course I would mind."
But someone as beautiful as you, with such a great figure, such a good temperament, such a good personality, and such great abilities, is simply a perfect beauty.
Don't even mention someone 10 years older than me, even someone 20 years older wouldn't bother me!
Before his rebirth, in 2023, Cao Meng saw Yang Tao in her true form, the national goddess.
Even though she had a child with the Taiwanese man she hated the most, Cao Meng wouldn't mind if she wanted to be with him.
Not to mention the pristine starfruit of this time and space!
When Yang Tao heard the first part, she was a little uneasy. Did Cao Meng think she was just an average-looking woman?
Upon hearing the rest, Yang Tao was overjoyed and hugged Cao Meng's neck, kissing him repeatedly.
"My handsome little brother, my good little brother, my boss little brother, your little mouth is so sweet, did you put honey on it? Let your sister have a taste."
Originally, I wasn't a big fan of relationships between older women and younger men, but with a boyfriend like you, I'm willing to risk my life for you!
While the two were whispering sweet nothings to each other, someone in the office noticed (Fei Lu: = Jiu Qi Wu).
Durian Three, Two
The door to the fourth room suddenly opened, and a stunningly beautiful woman walked in!
She's talking about a stunning beauty, and she truly is a stunning beauty!
To put it simply, when she walked into the office, everyone could already see her face before she even entered.
Because her figure is voluptuous and impressive enough.
Her figure is in no way inferior to Yang Tao's, and may even be better.
As she walked, she swayed gracefully, her eyes sparkling with allure, exuding charm and captivating beauty.
Her slender waist swayed with a graceful, almost serpentine movement that could sway a man's soul away.
She is Li Na, Cao Meng's newly recruited personal assistant.
Seeing Cao Meng and Yang Tao being so affectionate, Li Na immediately felt apologetic and quickly said with a smile, "Sorry, I forgot to knock. I'll go out first!"
You guys continue!
What's the point of continuing? My interest has already been dampened, and besides, Yang Tao's annoying relative has arrived.
Yang Tao quickly got down from Cao Meng's arms and straightened her clothes.
Cao Meng sat up straight and looked at Li Na with a serious expression, asking, "You always knock before coming to my office. Why did you forget to knock today?"
Is something so urgent that you forgot about etiquette?
He knew that Li Na was a very polite and meticulous person who wouldn't make such a basic mistake.
Li Na said with a wry smile, "I received a lawyer's letter from Quan Jing Law Firm."
There's a hot pot association in Beijing with over 100 members. This association has hired Robin, the managing director of Quanjing Law Firm, to sue us for unfair competition and other charges!
Cao Meng's face immediately darkened. How could such a coincidence happen in the world?
That hot pot association is full of old geezers; how could they possibly think of using such a law to target themselves?
Unfortunately, the lawyer they hired was Robin, the top lawyer that Li Na had previously worked for.
Cao Meng asked seriously, "Li Na, has Robin contacted you recently?"
Li Na quickly said, "He contacted me and said he hoped I would be his secretary and that he would promote me to administrative director."
I rejected him, and he got a little angry.
But I never expected him to do something so despicable!
Cao Meng said calmly, "Actually, we were bound to encounter this sooner or later."
Because after our hot pot restaurant became successful, the surrounding hot pot restaurants didn't have much business.
They sent people to cause trouble before, and several were arrested. Now they don't dare to resort to underhanded tactics, so they want to use legal means to deal with us.
Then let our legal counsel, Attorney Lingyi, handle the lawsuit against them.
When I have time, I'll go and meet this Robin!
In the past two days, Cao Meng met with Ling Yi, the beautiful lawyer from Rose Battle, and signed a legal counsel contract with her, hiring her as Haidilao's legal advisor.
Lingyi is a very dignified, beautiful, and elegant middle-aged woman, around 40 years old, who is still unmarried. Like a ripe peach, she is very well-maintained, with radiant and translucent skin.
Cao Meng was unwilling to get too involved in romantic entanglements at the moment, so he didn't flirt with the beautiful lawyer. Instead, he kept things professional and had a very serious and in-depth conversation with her.
Such exchanges are naturally limited to thoughts and language; physical intimacy will likely take some time.
He didn't expect that it was precisely because he showed no interest in Lingyi that Lingyi became interested in him.
Perhaps it was because Lingyi was at the peak of her maturity, beauty, and charm that almost every male boss of her business partners wanted to pursue her.
But then she encountered a handsome boss who seemed completely uninterested in her, which instead piqued Lingyi's interest.
I'll talk about my relationship with this beautiful lawyer, Lingyi, another time.
Li Na was surprised that Robin and his group, despite their aggressive demeanor, did not intimidate Cao Meng at all, which made her admire Cao Meng even more.
You should know that Robin used to be quite arrogant, claiming that he had never lost a case. Many bosses in the industry would be intimidated as soon as they heard that their opponent's lawyer was Robin.
Unexpectedly, Cao Meng didn't pay much attention to it and simply told her to leave the matter to Ling Yi.
Cao Meng didn't care at all because the Unfair Competition Law simply doesn't apply to this.
Moreover, the fact that Haidilao developed so well in its original time and had such a high market value after its listing shows that the legal aspect has never had any impact, or at least not a major impact, so there is no need to worry about it.
After all, advocating for high-quality service and treating customers like royalty is not illegal anywhere.
Li Na then prepared to inform Ling Yi so that she could come and negotiate with Robin.
When two parties are going to court, their legal counsel usually handles the negotiations, while the parties involved generally don't show up at the beginning.
Before Li Na left, Cao Meng said to her, "After you confirm with Ling Yi, pack your things a bit and come out with me. I need to register a company!"
Yang Tao left somewhat shyly at this point, as she was about to begin her day's operations.
Cao Meng tried his best to let her rest, but Yang Tao was just someone who couldn't stay still.
With Li Na helping to share the responsibilities of an assistant, Yang Tao could focus on being an operations manager.
The operations manager is one level above the store manager and is responsible for coordinating the affairs of the head office and branches.
As the number of branches increases and her jurisdiction expands, she will gradually be promoted to operations director and then operations president.
Li Na asked curiously, "Boss, our company Haidilao has already been registered, why do you need to register another company?"
Cao Meng said, "It's an IT/Internet company!"
Li Na looked at Cao Meng in surprise and asked in confusion, "Boss, I've never heard that you also have expertise in the IT and Internet field."
Besides, hot pot restaurants have no connection to the IT and internet industry!
Li Na's casual remark made Cao Meng suddenly realize the connection between the catering industry and the IT and Internet.
Everyone can immediately think of Meituan.
Back then, it seems like Meituan existed as early as 2011.
However, in this timeline, in 2013, Meituan had not yet emerged.
Cao Meng had no intention of missing out on this huge business opportunity with Meituan.
Because once Meituan takes off, it will also have a market value of trillions of yuan, and more importantly, it has a huge influence, even surpassing Douyin.
In his original timeline, Cao Meng was extremely dissatisfied with Meituan. It exploited riders, merchants, and consumers, profiting from all three, and even preyed on loyal customers, fully demonstrating the greed and shamelessness of capitalists.
The question is, if Cao Meng were to work at Meituan, would he necessarily be more conscientious than that guy surnamed Wang?
Cao Meng felt that, at least with the support of the system, he should be more conscientious than the man surnamed Wang.
Moreover, once you succeed in building a business on Douyin, Meituan, Haidilao, and other platforms, and if you can create a healthy ecosystem, you don't need to worry about how much money you can make. The key is to gain influence!
At that time, the system issued a task: "Ding dong! Congratulations, master, for having the concept of Meituan. Now, a task is issued: if you can successfully register Meituan before the person surnamed Wang, that will be an initial success in intercepting Meituan, and there will be a reward."
When the owner successfully makes the Meituan name well-known, it will be considered a successful mid-term hijacking, and there will be a reward!
If the master can defeat Li Na without lifting a finger, there will be rewards related to the Panoramic Law Firm and Meituan!
Looking at Lina's charming and alluring appearance, Cao Meng's eyes now burned with even more passion.
Because at this point, Li Na not only possesses beauty, but also gains trillions of dollars in wealth by simply winning.
