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

Chapter 762 I am so disappointed!

Lao Ma did not agree immediately, but wanted to think about it again.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with the proposal. Expanding the scale of the dock and upgrading its level at the same time was an obvious thing to do in the long run.

It is also an obvious credit.

What he was worried about was whether the second-in-command who had pushed him aside would set up some trap in this matter.

After Chen Tao left, he said to Liu Yuhai: "Old Liu, I think something is wrong with Songchang today."

Liu Yuhai smiled and said, "I think it's normal. I heard some rumors that Song Chang has been going back to the city after get off work recently to accompany his daughter. Maybe there really is something wrong with his family tradition, which has distracted his attention from work and he can't take care of both."

Old Ma was stunned when he heard this, and then he remembered the legend of the son-in-law of Jinzhou, and suddenly understood. He suppressed his laughter and asked:
"So do you think this plan is feasible?"

Liu Yuhai nodded seriously: "I think it's feasible. Whether our second phase project uses Japanese technology, German technology or other countries' technology, it will require a lot of foreign exchange. And now the foreign exchange gap is very large. I'm afraid the department can't give us so much. Maybe we have to consider a joint venture. Once the joint venture is established, the wharf will become one of the important assets."

Old Ma frowned and looked at Liu Yuhai's expression carefully, wondering if he was still neutral.

Liu Yuhai said calmly: "The comprehensive budget for the second phase will require at least 20 million US dollars. I can't make an optimistic estimate for this."

Old Ma nodded: "That's indeed the case! We should strive to optimize the construction plan and reduce costs. At the same time, we must make preparations for both scenarios, so as to avoid funding problems that will cause us to be in a hurry and delay the construction of our country's chemical industry."

Liu Yuhai smiled and said, "Old Ma, under your leadership, I think the second phase of the project will definitely go smoothly."

Old Ma smiled reservedly, and it was obvious that he enjoyed the flattery very much.

But after Liu Yuhai left, his face darkened: Old Jin, this two-faced bastard, I really misjudged him!

That afternoon, he called Lao Jin to his office, told him that his proposal was terrible, and gave him a good scolding.

Old Jin appears to be submissive on the surface, but he is actually worried and increasingly disloyal, and wants to get closer to Song Chang.

The next afternoon, in the factory director's office.

A purchase contract lay quietly on the desk.

Jin Changxiao, one of the persons in charge of the Donghai Chemical Plant's wharf, stood aside with a nervous look on his face.

Old Ma stared at him for a long time before he used his four knuckles to knock on the contract and the table and asked angrily:
"What's this? Are you taking me for a fool? How come the special steel and cement needed to build the dock are three times more expensive than yours? Who is Wei Xiurong, the legal representative of this company?"

Jin Changxiao was speechless and kept saying "I" for a long time. He was unable and dared not to mention Song Chang.

Old Ma lectured him, "You won't say anything? In your eyes, what I say is not as effective as what Deputy Director Song says. I can't let you manage the dock as you wish, but I can make you unable to get by at the dock or at the Port Authority! Do you think you are qualified to choose sides? Do you think if you stand on his side unilaterally, he will want you? Who wants a fence-sitter? Who wants an ungrateful person like you!"

Lao Ma is the head of the key projects under his jurisdiction. According to the current situation, his power is even not lower than that of the head of the city.

After all, these days, many places rely on state-owned enterprises for their livelihood.

Jin Changxiao was messing with him because he was undoubtedly blinded by greed and acted recklessly.

Jin Changxiao's psychological quality was far inferior to that of his wife. After being scolded by Lao Ma, he quickly begged for mercy:
"Ma Chang, I was wrong. I really lost my mind! Please listen to my explanation. This Wei Xiurong is the mother-in-law of Deputy Director Song. Her daughter-in-law brought this contract to me for signing. I dare not refuse to sign it!"

Old Ma sneered, "Are you saying that Song Chang is a corrupt element who wants to transfer benefits to his wife's family? But in this case, the people I promoted helped him to be corrupt? Am I also a corrupt element? You should suspend your work, go home and reflect on yourself, and I will arrange for you to take up your post after a while."

"Machang, Machang!"

Jin Changxiao pleaded, "My son is about to take the college entrance examination. If I lose my job, it will definitely affect him. Please be kind and forgive me this time!"

Old Ma said earnestly, "Who laid you off? I asked you to wait for your job and reflect on yourself. Don't you understand what I'm saying? Do you think you can get away with doing such a stupid thing? This contract was handed to me by Han Chang himself. Do you think he wants to see you again? Changing your position is already a consideration for you. What else do you want? Still want to manage the dock? With this contract, can Han Chang agree?"

Jin Changxiao was speechless and left with a frustrated look on his face.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that there are problems with this contract, but some people take it for granted.

In fact, Han Zegang first looked for Chen Tao.

Chen Tao naturally pretended that he had forgotten his mother-in-law's name and asked Han Zegang to find Lao Ma.

Lao Han was a little worried because if he went directly to Lao Ma with the contract, it would be like he was accusing him and would only intensify the conflict.

Chen Tao can do this because he holds all the power, but Lao Han doesn't dare to do so.

But even if he didn't dare, he couldn't let this opportunity go, right? So, with Chen Tao's comfort, he went to find Lao Ma.

As a result, not only was Lao Ma not angry, he also admitted that he had misjudged Lao Jin and scolded him in front of him.

Han Zegang was very happy and thought that Lao Zhao could get promoted. Unfortunately, Lao Ma's subsequent arrangements for the dock made him unhappy again.

Even a little bored.

During this period of time, we argued and argued, but to no avail.

The next morning, at the Cheng family in Jinzhou.

"It must be Song Yunhui!"

Yuan Xiang, the daughter-in-law of the Cheng family, complained with a mean look on her face: "The company came from Jinzhou, and it also has my mother's name on it. How could he not know that it belongs to our family? He did it on purpose. He just held a grudge after being scolded by Qianli and wanted to destroy my family's business."

Cheng Qianli also said bitterly: "I am right to scold you, right? Even if you raise a dog and get benefits from my family, you should know to wag your tail!"

Lao Deng covered his chest and asked with an uneasy look on his face:
"You just said that you guys went to the East China Sea to discuss the business, and it had nothing to do with him, so how could he..."

At this point, he couldn't take it anymore.

Cheng's mother, Cheng Qianli and Yuan Xiang hurried to give Shui and the medicine.

After feeding him, Yuan Xiang scolded again:

"Really? It's fine if Song Yunhui doesn't care about us, but he doesn't even care about Dad's health. He made Dad so angry. Do you think he's decent?"

Upon hearing this, Lao Deng's blood pressure, which had just dropped, rose again.

Cheng Qianli continued, "If Song Yunhui has no regard for family affection and forces me into a desperate situation, don't blame me for being cruel. Tomorrow I will report it to their factory and say that this order was ordered by Director Song!"

"Shut up!!"

Lao Deng cursed: "Are you going to drive your sister to death?"

After cursing, he grimaced because of high blood pressure.

Yuan Xiang said indignantly, "I am an outsider in this family anyway. Whether you love your daughter or your son-in-law, I certainly can't control it. At most, my husband and I will pay off the debt with our lives! But there is one thing, my son is your grandson, and from now on he will be an orphan! Please at least give him food to eat because he is also surnamed Cheng, and don't let him starve to death."

She said this because, firstly, she was angry that the parents loved their daughter more; secondly, she wanted the parents to pay money to help her pay off the debt.

After all, they couldn't take out the 100,000 yuan deposit they had already paid to the raw material supplier, and most of it was borrowed.

"Just say a few words less!"

Lao Deng was so angry that his face looked painful, and Cheng's mother was almost begging her daughter-in-law.

Yuan Xiang shut up.

Cheng Qianli popped up again: "Didn't I say it a long time ago that Song Yunhui is a bad person and an ungrateful person, but you guys didn't listen! At this point, you're still talking to him!"

Cheng's mother agreed with this and hated her son-in-law to death.

Lao Deng had to agree: "It's true that he is an ungrateful person, but he hasn't eaten my flesh or drunk my blood yet! And some people are eating their parents' eyeballs to satisfy their hunger!"

After that, he weakly asked Cheng's mother to take out her belongings to pay for her son and daughter-in-law. Including treasury bonds, there was still a gap of more than 20,000 yuan.

Treasury bonds are a good investment these days.

That night, after dinner, Chen Tao accompanied her daughter to watch "Doraemon", also known as "Doraemon".

To be honest, this animation is really good.

But Chen Tao prefers next year's "Sailor Moon". Don't ask why, everyone has different aesthetic tastes.

Of course, this animation was introduced to China in 97, so you can’t watch it now.

Song Yunhui's father, Song Jishan, said with concern:

"Xiaohui, how are you doing recently?"

His experience is also legendary. He was originally a doctor, but was drafted into the army two months before liberation. After that, there was a big problem with his class background, which in turn affected his two children's pursuit of progress.

Because of this, he was blamed by his son and he was so upset that he drank pesticide.

Fortunately, the pesticide was not strong enough and he received medical treatment in time, which saved his life.

Chen Tao smiled and said, "I've been very busy with work recently, so there's nothing else going on. Don't worry."

"How can I not worry? You didn't go home to accompany your wife during this period, just to make up with Xiao Yin? There must be a problem, and the problem lies with your wife and the Cheng family."

Song Jishan kept silent about it but didn't ask directly.

He believes his son can handle his own affairs.

He said with great self-blame: "I'm not worried. As long as you are healthy and safe, your mother and I will be relieved. You siblings, ah! Yunping's life is so hard! If it weren't for me, she would definitely be able to go to college and stay in the city, and she wouldn't die so young..."

Chen Tao also sighed when he heard this: "My sister is really miserable. Fate is so unfair to her!"

Song Yunping was unable to go to college and married Lei Dongbao.

Later, when she was pregnant, her husband and all the men in the village went out to collect the project payment, and she had to count the steel bars that were delivered. As a result, she accidentally tripped over the steel bars on the ground, causing heavy bleeding immediately.

The health center couldn’t handle it, so the patient had to be sent to the county hospital.

This wasted time, and medical technology and resources were insufficient. When Lei Dongbao rushed to the county hospital, he only saw Song Yunping covered under a white cloth and almost collapsed on the spot.

Song Yunhui, who was far away in Jinzhou Factory, was so shocked by the news that he couldn't even walk steadily. Secretary Shui sent a car to take him to Xiao Lei's house. As a result, he saw the wreaths and elegiac couplets at the door, as well as his sister's body in the mourning hall...

When Song Yunping was dying, she was still worried about what would happen to her husband Lei Dongbao after her death.

Such a sister is the most beautiful female image in Song Yunhui's heart.

Compared with this doting sister Bai Yueguang, Cheng Kaiyan is nothing.

So in the original novel, he disliked Cheng Kaiyan not only because of Liang Sishen.

In the TV series, he did not mentally cheat on her because of Liang Sisen. If Cheng Kaiyan had not insisted on divorcing him, they would not have divorced.

The father and son chatted for a while, and when "Doraemon" ended, Song's mother wanted to give Xiaoyin a bath.

Chen Tao stopped her and took his daughter out shopping.

It's rare to get off work on time, and there's no condition to go fishing at night, so I might as well play with my daughter.

Two days later, in the afternoon.

Chen Tao was writing in the office when he received a call from Secretary Shui.

This good master was not here for any other reason, but for the Cheng family's business.

Lao Deng wanted to help his son, but he didn't want to go directly to Chen Tao, so he went to Secretary Shui, the great benefactor.

That’s right, Lao Deng’s rise to power is inseparable from Secretary Shui.

Secretary Shui didn't say anything else, just said that Lao Deng's children were not virtuous and it was difficult for him. He wanted Chen Tao to understand, and only Chen Tao could understand.

After Chen Tao dealt with him, he received another call from Cheng Kaiyan.

In fact, she had wanted to call him a long time ago. After all, she and Sui Chunfeng were in the same office, so how could she not know that something had happened to Old Jin?

And if something happens to Old Jin, will her brother and sister-in-law be able to escape unscathed?

Cheng Kaiyan was nervous, but pretended to be calm and asked, "Xiaohui, are you going home tonight?"

"tonight?"

Chen Tao said tiredly, "I might be here very late tonight and disturb you. I will either stay at the factory or go back to the city. I should be able to get off work early tomorrow night."

"I won't bother you! Come back, I have something to tell you."

"Okay, be safe on your way home from get off work, and I'll try to get home early, too."

"Well, I'll wait for you."

"..."

At 11 o'clock in the evening, Chen Tao returned home carrying his briefcase.

Cheng Kaiyan came up and took his bag.

Chen Tao asked with concern: "Why are you still not sleeping so late? If you have anything to say, you can talk about it tomorrow morning!"

Cheng Kaiyan thought about it and agreed:

"Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow morning. Do you want to take a shower? Let me help you scrub your back!"

Chen Tao felt that there must be other projects besides back rubbing.

In fact, it was just as he expected.

The next morning.

Cheng Kaiyan asked about the matter: "Do you know that Lao Jin is on leave now?"

Chen Tao shook his head: "I've been very busy recently. How can I have time to pay attention to him? What's wrong with him? Did something happen?"

Cheng Kaiyan asked suspiciously: "You really don't know?"

Chen Tao was even more puzzled: "What should I know? Just tell me what you have to say. Don't keep me in suspense. I still have to go to work!"

"Then I, I told you, you are not allowed to be angry."

"Go ahead, I'm not angry."

"..."

Cheng Kaiyan stammered and told him how her sister-in-law contacted Sui Chunfeng and how she did something without telling him...

Chen Tao's face turned pale: "The contract was made by your brother? Secretary Shui called about this? Your brother is such a bastard! You actually hid it from me? I am so disappointed!"
