Zhutian: Since I was a child, I have been happy to be a father

Chapter 476: Can’t you call me brother?

The steam is steaming, and the smell of hot pot base, meat and vegetables is spreading freely.

Chen Tao sat next to Guan Ju'er, opposite Andy and Fan Shengmei. The four of them were eating and drinking together, talking and laughing.

Fan Shengmei was surprised that Andy wanted to learn to cook. She felt that she, a strong woman, wanted to "wash her hands and make soup" for Wei Wei.

In fact, this is correct. Andy and Wei Wei have now gone one step further and are nominally boyfriend and girlfriend, so some changes are normal.

Her expression is no longer as cold as before...

This made Fan Shengmei feel a little sad.

After all, they are all leftover women, but Andy has no shortage of people to pursue her, and she is also a wealthy man.

And her? Just don’t mention it.

"Brother Tao, what would you think if a woman washed your hands and made soup for you?"

"High standard?"

This is actually true.

Hearing this, Andy and Fan Shengmei also looked at Chen Tao.

Chen Tao nodded, "Personally, I definitely need the woman to devote herself wholeheartedly to me, and sincerely exchange for sincerity!"

Because it is useless to rely on the body alone, you will get tired of it once the freshness wears off, and you may even feel disgusted due to aging.

Fan Shengmei laughed: "The problem is that before the scumbag is exposed, you don't know what kind of person he is? Or maybe you are like a little earthworm, being carried away by love and completely believing in the scumbag. When you come back to your senses, I have regretted it so much. So generally speaking, you still can’t go ahead and recognize the reality clearly. You can’t hold anything back, so as not to be too deeply hurt.”

"This involves my second principle in finding a partner! Excellence is only a prerequisite, and it also depends on my personal feelings. If I can't help myself and actively and eagerly want to be with the other person, then I'm not interested either .”

Andy couldn't help laughing and said: "I think you are very good, and it is natural that you have higher requirements. But the question is, where do your high requirements specifically manifest? Or in other words, what aspects do you think Xiaoqu needs to make changes in?" , can make you excited?"

Fan Shengmei speaks from experience and feels that the more you pay, the deeper the damage will be.

But when it comes to Fan Shengmei, if she wants to be with a rich man and can't show her sincerity, then even if he goes to her, it won't last long, let alone getting into his house.

Guan Ju'er asked curiously.

Andy smiled and was noncommittal about Fan Shengmei's words. She continued to ask Chen Tao:

"Xiao Chen, you don't seem to have a girlfriend yet, right? What do you think, why don't you find one?"

Fan Shengmei did not agree: "This is true, but not every sincerity can be exchanged for sincerity. The little earthworm is also sincere to the white scumbag, but what is the result?"

Guan Juer nodded and said: "I definitely can't be sincere to a scumbag like Bai Scumbag."

Chen Tao shrugged, "Although I am not very capable, my vision is not low. I have very high requirements for my partner, so it is difficult to find a partner."

Andy is very sensible, or in other words, except Qiu Yingying, they are all sensible.

They talked about love, which was their own feelings. As the only man present, Chen Tao naturally wanted to get feedback from him.

Andy agreed: "Whether you like it or not really depends on the feeling, which is very reasonable."

Andy did not feel offended, but covered his lips with a smile, and then asked:

"Then do you think that if you want to love someone, should you let go and love?"

Chen Tao put down his chopsticks, played the accordion like a king, and said:

Chen Tao smiled and said: "If the person I like is willing to cook for me, then of course I will feel very happy. But I will not ignore whether the food she cooks is delicious because of her intention. If it is difficult to eat , then don’t do it! If you don’t have this talent, don’t force yourself and torture others.”

Chen Tao smiled and asked, "How do you feel about Old Wei? Do you have the urge to hug him? Or, do you miss him at the moment?"

Under the gaze of three pairs of eyes, Andy was not embarrassed, but said calmly:

"I miss Brother Wei a little bit. But due to my personal reasons, I haven't taken the initiative to embrace him yet."

If Qiu Yingying were here, she would definitely ask why. However, Chen Tao and the other three people all have high emotional intelligence, so they will not ask further questions.

After meal.

Chen Tao went for a walk downstairs.

Guan Juer sent a WeChat message and said something that made him very emotional.

She chatted with Fan Shengmei and deliberately said that Wei Wei met Andy for the first time and treated him to a small restaurant downstairs in the company, which was suspected of pretending to be poor and deceiving people. However, Fan Shengmei felt that Wei Wei was right and thought he was very rich. Money, after going through ups and downs, is normal to be defensive.

She took the opportunity to ask Fan Shengmei why she could understand Wei Wei pretending to be rich when he had money, but could not forgive Wang Baichuan pretending to be rich when he had no money.

Aren’t both of these deceptive in nature?

However, in Fan Shengmei's view, this is different.

Regardless of whether you cheat or not, is it the same whether you have money or not?

three days later.

After Chen Tao drank morning tea outside, he went to Zhengxin Company.

When he pushed open the door of Qu Xiaoxiao's office, the goblin's eyes lit up. He quickly got up and pulled him to sit on the sofa. Then he went to the desk to get a document and stuffed it into his hand, smiling. He said flatteringly:

"Brother Tao, you're here, show me this quote quickly."

Yao Bin sat across from the desk and felt uncomfortable when he saw the goddess being so attentive. He quickly turned his chair to prevent the two of them from making small moves behind his back.

In fact, it was nothing, it was just that Chen Tao was reading the documents and Qu Xiaoxiao was massaging his shoulders. It was not a big problem and it would not stain his black baseball cap green.

Chen Tao glanced at it for a few times, returned the document to Qu Xiaoxiao, shook his head and said: "This quotation is definitely not acceptable. Since you want to get the project, don't keep profits for yourself."

Qu Xiaoxiao was surprised and said: "But this is already very low. If it is any lower, we will lose money."

Chen Tao smiled and said: "You don't have to do it if you think it's a loss. Some companies do it. You should think more about how to control costs and squeeze out profits. Then find ways to build relationships to get more projects. This way, you can let the group do mortgages and guarantees. Apply for more loans from those financial institutions. Then you put the loan into your own pocket, let the project incur losses, and the group repays the debt. Instead of stupidly picking up costs and counting profits."

Qu Lianjie could lose hundreds of millions and let the group repay his debt; why couldn't Qu Xiaoxiao take away the loan and leave the debt to the group?

This is fighting for family property!

When Qu Xiaoxiao heard this, she immediately hugged Chen Tao's neck happily, but did not chirp directly in his face. After all, the licking dog was still there!

She also needs to lick the dog. Yao Bin's face turned green. Yes, Brother Tao didn't dare to be interested in her goddess. He was already struggling to avoid her in disgust, but the goddess was still interested in him!

***

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

Yesterday morning, after Mother Qiu earnestly asked her daughter at the station, she got on the train back to her hometown.

During this time, Qiu Yingying has recovered and is preparing to find another job before the end of the year.

Even if the salary is lower, it can reduce the pressure on parents.

As for returning to her hometown and finding an honest man to live a comfortable life, she could think about it, but her father would never agree.

He would rather work hard all day long to let his daughter stay in the magic city.

Qiu Yingying was very helpless and often felt sad. She must never forget the white scumbag for the rest of her life.

On Qu Xiaoxiao's side, because he still couldn't deal with a certain lawyer, he could only focus on his work.

With the assistance of the licking dog Abin, everything was going on smoothly. The remuneration and dividends that should be given to Chen Tao were definitely indispensable.

Friday.

evening.

Andy wanted to compensate Fan Shengmei for the unpleasantness of the Villa.

So based on Guan Ju'er's suggestion, she invited Fan Shengmei to a high-end cocktail party, giving her a chance to hook up with a rich man.

If everything goes well, she will indeed get her wish and hook up with Qu Xiaoxiao's brother.

1901.

It's November and the temperature has dropped sharply at night, so it's not suitable for long walks.

So after only taking a walk for a while, Chen Tao and Wang Shiyu went back upstairs to watch TV series together.

The title of the drama is "Love in the Courtyard" and it has just been aired for two days.

Wang Shiyu drank the juice and watched with gusto; Chen Tao rested on her lap, unable to complain.

Halfway through the juice, she didn't want to drink any more, so she handed it to Chen Tao's lips and asked him to do it for her.

Just like that, when he saw Sha Zhu secretly selling Yan Lao to dig out the wheels of his cart, there was a knock on the door.

It's Guan Ju'er and Qiu Yingying.

The two of them had nothing to do this evening except paying attention to the photos sent back by Sister Fan about the high-end cocktail party.

So I went downstairs to visit.

Wang Shiyu is quite boring, so she naturally welcomes these two friends.

The three of them chatted happily, but Chen Tao lay aside and concentrated on watching the TV series.

After the episode was over, he suggested playing cards, and of course it was egg-beating.

This kind of poker game is so popular that even a big boss becomes the president of this association.

When Chen Tao used to go out to eat, he would do this as a pastime before the guests arrived and the food was served.

Guan Ju'er and Qiu Yingying readily agreed.

So the Chen Wang brother and sister team fought against the Qiu Guan sister team.

After only playing two games, sisters Qiu and Guan didn't care about the high-end cocktail party and focused entirely on the card game.

After all, high-end cocktail parties are really far away from them.

Wouldn't it be better to have a drink, eat some snacks, and play poker with friends who are called brother and sister, but may actually become husband and wife?

That's right, Qiu Yingying also heard what Guan Ju'er said about Chen Tao and Wang Shiyu, and knew that the two brothers and sisters were not related by blood, and it was very likely that they were related.

She thinks it's fine... As long as Chen Tao doesn't like Qu Xiaoxiao, that's the best!

Shishi is good-looking and tall, and is much better than that trouble-making vixen. Brother Tao is blind if he doesn't like her!

At 9:15 p.m., Fan Shengmei, who hooked up with Qu Lianjie, got rid of Andy, who was entangled with Bao Yifan, and returned to Ode to Joy.

Fan Shengmei was not surprised when she opened the door and saw that the two little sisters were not there.

Because before that, Guan Ju'er had already sent her a message, saying that he and Qiu Yingying would go back later.

Tomorrow is the weekend. One of them doesn't have to work overtime, and the other doesn't have to go to work. Of course, they can't let Friday night pass easily.

When it was almost 12 o'clock, they returned to 2202 with failure.

Chen Tao's side.

"Shishi, go brush your teeth first, otherwise you'll get cavities and the pain will make you call mom."

"Can't you call me brother?"

"Okay, I will accompany you to the dentist then, and I will hold you down so that you won't be afraid of pain and move around, causing the hammer to bend when the tooth is extracted."

"Don't, don't go to the dentist, just brush my teeth!"

"..."
