The unscrupulous system forced me to frantically test the small black room

Tao Zhi received a call from Tao Ci and answered it.

"Dad, what do you want me to do for you?" Tao Zhi asked lazily.

"Come back for dinner tomorrow. We have important guests coming to our house." Taoci replied.

"Who is it? I have to go back specially." Tao Zhi was puzzled.

"Your sister-in-law's parents came all the way from England. This is the first time our two families meet. You should dress formally tomorrow and stop talking in such a frivolous way. Don't embarrass our family."

"Also, bring your partner with you," said Taoci.

Tao Zhi's mind was stuck for a while after hearing this.

"Are you talking about the sister-in-law Lawrence?"

"No, I found a partner from some remote corner. Your request is a bit presumptuous, Dad." Tao Zhi was speechless.

"Yes, that foreign guy with a big beard. His parents will be here tomorrow."

"Don't talk nonsense to me. Just take kid Gong with you. You're an adult now and it's time for you to focus on your life. Since you two are together again, stop trying to let others down." Taoci replied.

Tao Zhi twitched the corner of his mouth when he heard that, feeling a little painful.

"I've already told you that he and I are not in a relationship, why are you so selectively deaf? It's so embarrassing to invite a stranger like him to our family dinner, even though you want to invite him, he doesn't want to come." Tao Zhixin said tiredly.

Tao Ci was silent for a few breaths. Tao Zhi looked at the phone in confusion as there was no sound for a long time. He thought that the other party had hung up because he was angry, but the person on the other end of the phone spoke.

"Tao Li, go find the crocodile leather belt that Lao Wang gave me some time ago. It will be needed tomorrow." Tao Zheng turned his head and said calmly to Tao Li behind him.

Without waiting for Tao Li to say anything, Tao Zhi immediately jumped up and shouted into the phone.

"No, no, no, can't I bring him here? If he doesn't come, I will tie him up and bring him here. Why are you so angry at your age?" Tao Zhi shouted.

After hanging up the phone, Tao Zhi sighed and collapsed on the sofa, throwing his phone aside casually, then turned his head to look towards Gong Cheng's desk with a resentful look.

At this time, Gong Cheng was looking through the documents with great concentration, his back straight, his hands constantly flipping through the documents, and he seemed to be working very seriously.

But in fact, his heart was already very excited. He forced himself to suppress the curve that almost could not be suppressed at the corners of his mouth, and tried hard to squeeze his brows to put on a look of serious thinking, trying to hide his inner excitement.

Tao Zhi's resentful gaze almost materialized, piercing Gong Cheng's face, so hot that Gong Cheng could hardly ignore it, but he still had to pretend that he heard nothing.

After taking a deep breath, Tao Zhi walked towards Gongcheng in a leisurely manner. Although his steps were casual, every step consumed a lot of brain cells to organize language.

The gentleman is coming, Gong Cheng thought.

Gong Cheng's heart trembled a little, and he was secretly looking forward to the teacher's performance.

Tao Zhi slammed his hands on Gong Cheng's desk, and put his right hand on the document that Gong Cheng was about to open, stopping him from turning the page.

Gong Cheng's hand paused, and he looked up in confusion at Tao Zhi, who looked a little impatient.

"Is there anything wrong?" Gong Cheng asked.

Tao Zhi felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this. The words he had just organized when he walked over were stuck in his throat and he didn't know how to say them.

"Didn't you hear it just now?" Tao Zhi looked uncomfortably confused.

"What did you hear? I was just working."

Gong Cheng's eyes were clear and innocent, so Tao Zhi couldn't see any flaws.

Gong Cheng was at a loss as to what to do, so he had to talk to him in person.

"Just... just come have dinner with me tomorrow." Tao Zhi said hesitantly, his face slightly red.

"Can I understand that you are inviting me to a date?" Gong Cheng said lightly.

Tao Zhi immediately got furious when he heard that.

"What the hell are you dreaming about? Just come home with me to have a normal meal. My dad insisted that I bring you along. Just focus on eating tomorrow and don't say anything else." Tao Zhi said.

Upon hearing this, Gong Cheng supported his chin with the back of his hand, as if thinking, with his eyebrows raised and a hint of smile in the corners of his eyes, rippling in his eyes.

"Family dinner? But I'm just an outsider. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to go to such a family dinner?" Gong Cheng sounded regretful.

"And...with what identity should I go back with you?" Gong Cheng guided.

Tao Zhi bared his teeth when he heard that, and leaned his head forward with a slightly frown on his face.

"Stop talking nonsense. Are you going or not? If not, then I can only..."

Tao Zhi was interrupted by Gong Cheng before he could finish his words.

"That's it?"

Gong Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and a slight curve appeared at the corner of his lips. Although it was a question, the answer was already there.

Just tie me up and go there? Gong Cheng thought.

Gong Cheng inexplicably recalled that a few years ago when she was being kept by her husband, her husband once came to her room with a red rope and candles to scare her.

As a result, the ropes were tied in a mess, and he hurriedly tied himself up like a dumpling, the kind that would fall apart if he moved.

Gong Cheng looked at Tao Zhi in front of him and couldn't help but imagine what it would look like if the fair-skinned gentleman was tied with red ropes.

This thought only lasted for a moment before Gong Cheng's heartbeat quickened slightly and his nose started to itch a little.

When Gong Cheng suddenly asked this, Tao Zhi seemed a little less confident.

"We can only take someone else with us." Tao Zhi said with his hands on his hips.

As soon as Tao Zhi finished speaking, the smile on Gong Cheng's face suddenly disappeared, and his eyes turned cold. He no longer had the intention of teasing Tao Zhi.

Sir, do you want to bring someone back to meet your family?

Although I know that Mr. is speaking in anger, with his unconventional way of thinking, he can really do this.

Gong Cheng pursed his lips tightly, his eyes darkened, and even put his hand, which was leisurely supporting his chin, on the table, and looked at Tao Zhi quietly.

"If you bring someone else, aren't you worried about being beaten by your father's crocodile-skin belt?" Gong Cheng said in a heavy tone.

Upon hearing this, Tao Zhi widened his eyes, became angry and pointed at Gong Cheng with gritted teeth.

"You're so good. You clearly heard the conversation between me and my dad on the phone just now, and you're still teasing me here on purpose. You've learned bad things without saying a word." Tao Zhi cursed.

Gong Cheng remained silent and agreed.

Tao Zhi rolled his eyes, looking nonchalant.

"My dad asked me to bring someone along. Although he mentioned your name, as long as I bring someone along, it's still a relationship. It doesn't have to be you."

"Mr. Gong, if you are really too busy and unwilling to help me with this little favor, I certainly won't make things difficult for you. This is a society ruled by law, and I can't just tie you up."

"It's just a casual phone call to contact a former lover. I won't be bothered by it." Tao Zhi said nonchalantly.

Gong Cheng's hands gradually clenched into fists, and then he reluctantly let go.

It was really too easy for the gentleman to control him, Gong Cheng sighed in his heart.

Gong Cheng suppressed the conflict in his heart and forced himself to smile.

"It's just a meal, no trouble. Our company has a project cooperation with Dow recently, and I need to find an opportunity to communicate with your brother Tao Li on the handover. We can meet tomorrow, so there's no need to make another appointment." Gong Cheng said.

Upon hearing this, Tao Zhi pursed his lips and repeated in a sarcastic tone, "It's just a meal, no trouble."

"When customers come to my house tomorrow, please dress nicely so as not to embarrass me. Also, don't act like a big boss and scare people. Take back your halo as the leading actor so as not to dazzle the guests." Tao Zhi said in the same tone as Tao Ci's words at that time.

Does this sentence of sir mean that you should behave well tomorrow?

What kind of weird term did the gentleman give himself for the protagonist halo? Gong Cheng held his forehead helplessly.

"Okay, I understand." Gong Cheng replied.
