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

July 14th, Sunday.

Chen Tao is at the research institute in the morning and in the factory cafeteria at noon, accompanying Lao Ma for social events.

Although the policies regarding drunk driving are more relaxed these days, Chen Tao still asked his secretary to take him back to the city and discussed some issues on the way.

This is necessary because Chen Tao and Song Yunhui have different working styles, so the secretary has to keep adapting to him.

After arriving home, Chen Tao went to the bathroom to take a shower, and then went to the bedroom to take a nap.

Xiao Yin also developed the habit and fell asleep at this time.

Cheng Kaiyan was there to accompany him, but she hadn't fallen asleep yet.

After Chen Tao lay down, she lowered her voice and said, "Xiaohui, my brother has paid off all his debts, but he still has the goods."

Lao Deng is in a terrible mess.

Employees look down on him and his former colleagues don't help him.

Otherwise, those cement and steel bars certainly need connections to buy and sell, but with his status, why would he end up with nothing? In the end, Yang Xun had to find a way for his son?

When people leave, the tea is cool.

His tea got cold so quickly!

Chen Tao said coldly: "The person in charge of the dock has changed. I can't help your brother."

Cheng Kaiyan frowned: "I'm just telling you this so that you won't accuse me of deliberately hiding this and not asking you for help."

"That's good. After this lesson, your brother should be able to understand what kind of person he is. He will make your father worry less in the future."

"You, your words are too harsh."

"Good medicine tastes bitter, but honest advice offends the ears."

"Humph, you just don't like him."

"Oh, tell me honestly, does he think highly of me? In your eyes, I am just a bumpkin from the countryside who climbed up the high branch of your family. If it weren't for me, your family would have found a son-in-law like Min Zhongsheng who would obey everything, instead of an ungrateful person like me, right?"

"..."

"You're thinking too much! Min Zhongsheng's elder brother-in-law is Director Li. What's your brother's position?"

"Woo woo~ When you look down on my brother, you actually look down on me."

"If you want to cry, go outside and don't disturb Xiaoyin and I from taking a nap."

After Chen Tao said this sentence that was enough to intensify the family conflict, he used his daughter's straw hat to cover his eyes as a blindfold.

"..."

Looking at the straw hat, and thinking about how the father and daughter went to the capital city to play, not only did they not bring her with them, but they didn't even tell her in advance, Cheng Kaiyan felt like she was about to die of jealousy.

It’s bad enough that the husband has changed his mind, but why is the little girl also partial to him?
Cheng Kaiyan felt that her daughter now meant much more to her husband than she did to her.

This is normal.

Putting aside other things, the little girl has a pure heart and won't be as cunning as her mother. It's not surprising that Chen Tao prefers to accompany this girl.

As for Cheng Kaiyan, she is also simple and doesn't play tricks...

People grow and cannot be viewed with a mechanical eye.

Why did she come here today and mention her brother's situation?
If it were the previous Song Yunhui, he would consciously find a way to help his brother as soon as she mentioned it, but Chen Tao would not do that.

After waking up from a nap, Chen Tao taught the little girl how to read, speak and write, while Cheng Kaiyan went to the kitchen to help her mother-in-law who was starting to prepare dinner.

Song Jishan went out to buy beer and put it in the refrigerator to cool it down. It was very refreshing to drink on such a hot day.

In fact, since May, there have been continuous heavy rains in my hometown, and today a serious flood disaster has occurred.

Now that the two elders can come to Donghai, Chen Tao naturally doesn't have to worry about them.

At the dinner table, the family seemed to be having a great time.

He did not go back that night, but with his daughter sleeping in the middle, Chen Tao did not have to have intimate communication with Cheng Kaiyan.

The little girl broke free from her mother's restraints and threw herself into her father's arms, saying innocently:
"Dad, I can't sleep and I want to hear a story."

Chen Tao asked with a smile: "Where did we leave off last time?"

The little girl thought for a moment and asked uncertainly, "Is it Princess Vanessa's three dozen catfish spirits?"

"Yes, well, let's continue. Princess Vanessa got angrier and angrier after she returned to the palace. The evil catfish demon actually dared to transform into a human form and confuse her dearest brother, not allowing him to play with his sister. It was really annoying! Princess Vanessa secretly made up her mind to find a way to expose the catfish demon to prevent her brother from getting hurt, so she..."

By the way, Chen Tao could copy out fairy tales from later generations and make a lot of money to use for his retirement in the future.

This is not against the rules!

The reason is very sufficient. These are stories he tells to his daughter in his spare time. He is not like an electrician who writes while at work.

And in this way, Chen Tao can also avoid having to eat his female students' free meals in the future...

Well, actually Liang Sisen just called him last Thursday and said that he tried to invest in stocks according to his advice and made 40,000 US dollars. He wanted to open an account for him and give him half of it.

Chen Tao decisively refused. He was as clear as water and as bright as a mirror, with incorruptible hands and a righteous character. How could he acquire huge assets overseas?
Liang Sisen didn't force it. After all, the master and disciple had made the account clear, so he said that he would always save it for him.

As a result, Chen Tao did not allow her to save, but asked her to continue speculating. He even analyzed the current situation for her, pointed out the direction, and set goals...

In other words, by the beginning of next summer, the joint treasury of the master and the apprentice will reach at least 10 million US dollars.

After hearing this, Liang Sisen first thought that the teacher was very conceited and thought that securities investment was too simple.

Then she became curious again. Wasn’t the teacher a chemical engineer? How could he know financial knowledge that even a professional like her didn’t understand?

After listening to the teacher's so-called explanation, which was actually nonsense, she was filled with admiration.

He is worthy of being Mr. Song whom she has been thinking about for the past twelve years!

Of course, she still holds a conservative opinion on the goal of earning 10 million euros.

Her entire net worth is actually worth millions of dollars, otherwise she wouldn't be able to cooperate with Yang Xun to open a shopping mall.

But if you want to earn another tens of millions, even if you invest all your assets, you have to work hard to achieve nearly double the returns. How difficult is that!
It would be great if you could earn 30% a year!

But it is not difficult for Chen Tao and he can definitely achieve it.

Chen Tao plans to use the 10 million yuan in profit on the second phase of Donghai.

There will be two options at that time. One is to use foreign debt to fill the funding gap and simply purchase technical equipment; the other is to establish a joint venture and carry out in-depth cooperation with those advanced manufacturers. It is up to Lu Si and others to choose.

The interest income from foreign debt is far less than the speculative income.

From this point of view, can Chen Tao be considered loyal to his ideals? He is so loyal that it is beyond words!

"Whoosh~"

Cheng Kaiyan fell into a deep sleep as Chen Tao told her story in his rhythmic voice.

The little girl was still listening intently, and thought her mother's snoring was too noisy, so she simply reached out and twisted her face to wake her up, asking her to continue listening with her.

"..."

Cheng Kaiyan felt very upset after being bullied by the little girl again and did not sleep well all night.

***
It's October now and the weather is getting cooler rapidly.

Chen Tao also put on a work jacket to cover up his good figure that many people discussed privately.

Some old ladies even dared to express their envy of Cheng Kaiyan, thinking that she should eat it at least once a day.

After all, during this period, Donghai has been on the right track, and the second phase can't be rushed. It's not as busy as before, and Director Song can go home earlier to accompany his wife. But what is the reality? Director Song is still very busy. There is not much work, but there are a lot of social activities!

In his case, it would be normal if he didn't go home for 300 days out of 365 days in a year.

Cheng Kaiyan wanted to spend time with her daughter as soon as she got home, but she didn't have the chance.

This morning.

After the factory meeting, Han Zegang walked to Chen Tao's office with a gloomy face and heavy steps, and the word "unhappy" was almost written on his face.

He said depressedly: "Director Song, do you really think that Engineer Feng is suitable to be in charge of warehousing and docks? She is only in her early thirties. I don't think she has as much ability as you."

He still doesn't understand that it was Chen Tao who suggested to Lao Ma that the department transfer people instead of using his Lao Zhao.

Lao Ma would not tell him, otherwise would Chen Tao still suggest it next time? The relationship between the two is not so tense now, and they have reached a subtle cooperation and understanding. There is no need to rashly destroy this relationship.

Liu Yuhai couldn't say it either.

As for Gao Xiangrong, who was suspected in the original plot of writing a letter to denounce Song Yunhui and selling out national interests to the United States represented by Liang Sishen, he was not clear about this matter.

Therefore, Han Zegang thought that it was Lao Ma who tripped him up.

In the original plot, it was Song Yunhui who pushed this matter forward. Lao Han hated him and went to Lao Ma to complain.

Lao Ma took advantage of the situation and let himself, now that he was no longer responsible for the dock and warehousing, take charge of the second phase project.

But now, Chen Tao can also let him participate in the second phase of the study.

Chen Tao advised, "Old Han, you can't judge a person by his appearance. Since the department recommended Engineer Feng to come to our Donghai, it must be because she is very capable. In the past three months, she has not only become familiar with the work at the dock and established a cooperative relationship with the Port Authority, but no one in the factory has a negative view of her. Doesn't this mean that she is the most suitable candidate?"

Old Han said aggrievedly, "Old Zhao can do the same, and can do better than her! I have always been in charge of the warehouse and the docks, and now that she has come, she has promoted me to the branch factory level. What should I do? Can I retire now? Old Ma is so unfair!"

Chen Tao laughed: "Don't say that. Old Ma is also considering the long-term future of Donghai. We should understand. You said you have nothing to do, so are you not going to take care of the second phase of the project?"

Han Zegang heard this, as if he knew him all over again, and complained: "You, Director Song, are in charge of the technology, do you still need me to take care of it?"

"There are currently two proposals from Japan and Germany, and there may be proposals from France and the United States in the future. How can I be responsible for it alone?"

"Song Chang, I don't understand why you want to expand your business so much?"

"There's nothing we can do. As the saying goes, a good cook cannot cook without rice. Our budget is limited, so we can only compare prices from three different vendors and choose the one that is most beneficial to us. Let me tell you, the most important thing about the second phase is not just the project itself, but also the pilot project for the ministry to introduce technology. If we do a good job, you won't be able to sit idle in the future."

After hearing this, Han Zegang felt much better. He put down the red thermos cup and said with emotion:
"Hey, Director Song, it would be great if you could be the boss."

Chen Tao smiled and didn't respond.

Han Zegang was also very aware that what he said was inappropriate, so he stood up and said goodbye.

Sunday, Children's Palace...didn't go.

Chen Tao will not send his daughter to learn piano.

In this way, he would naturally not have encountered Dr. Tao, who was beaten and slandered in public by Cheng Kaiyan in the future.

Dr. Tao is innocent, and Chen Tao will not put the fire on her.

And Mr. Feng too.

As for whether the loss of the two of them would affect Cheng Kaiyan's decision to file for divorce?
will not.

Liang Sisen is the big boss.

Ever since she learned that Liang Sishen and her teacher Song, although thousands of miles apart, would still keep in touch when they were free, Cheng Kaiyan has never been able to let it go.

She certainly felt that Dr. Tao and Engineer Feng were suspects.

But compared with Liang Sisen, the two of them are nothing.

She broke down and hit Dr. Tao to vent her dissatisfaction.

She had no way to vent this dissatisfaction to her excellent husband, Liang Sisen, who was so outstanding that it made her feel inferior.

It can be said that Dr. Tao took the beating for Liang Sisen.

Therefore, as long as Liang Sisen appears next to Chen Tao and Chen Tao does not agree to send her back to the United States, Cheng Kaiyan and the Cheng family will inevitably make trouble. After failing, they will have no other choice except divorce.

If there is, then Chen Tao will have to learn from Song Yunhui in the book, find someone to dig a pit, let his brother-in-law jump into it, and force the Cheng family to surrender.

This can also be considered as a choice made out of helplessness in order to fulfill one's own ideals, and it does not violate the mission requirements.

In the living room.

Chen Tao leaned against the sofa and watched his daughter doodle on paper.

This girl is still young, and although she has some talent, it is not very high, so there is no need for her to take this path.

Graffiti is purely to pass the time.

After all, it’s raining today, so it’s not very convenient to go out and play.

After drawing for a while, the little girl held up her masterpiece and showed it to Chen Tao.

Chen Tao held her in his arms, holding the drawing paper and asked, "Who is this drawing of?"

The little girl smiled and said, "It's Dad!"

Chen Tao said with some disdain: "Not at all! Dad is a handsome guy, and the person you drew looks like a monster."

"Hahaha~ But I drew it just like you did!"

"In that case, Daddy will draw according to your wishes. If the drawing is ugly, you are not allowed to complain!"

"No, Xiao Yin doesn't want to be drawn by daddy!"

"Hmph, you can't say no, just watch carefully!"

When Chen Tao was halfway through sketching his daughter, the phone rang.

It’s Xun Jianxiang calling.

Tonight, Yang Xun made an appointment to have dinner with Director Gao of the Land Bureau, hoping to acquire a piece of land to build a wholesale market.

After listening to Xun Jianxiang's words, Chen Tao smiled and said, "Da Xun, don't persuade him. If he wants to borrow my name, let him do it! Her mother is very good to me, and I still have to repay her favor."

What kind of personality does Yang Xun have? He always thinks the grass is greener on the other side and is a heavy gambler.

He wants this land now, but when he meets the second generation Xiao Ran, he will give up this land.

At that time, we will have to ask Chen Tao to say hello to Director Gao.

By saying this, the favor can be repaid.

Chen Tao had no interest in cleaning up his mess all the time.

There is also Lei Dongbao, Chen Tao is not very willing to deal with him.

Mainly because it's useless to say it.

Since Song Yunping's death, no one can persuade him.

"Okay, I understand. Contact me if there is anything else."

After Xun Jianxiang hung up the phone, he bought a pack of cigarettes and returned to the simple little bungalow rented by Yang Xun.

Ride your bike to the bar, save where you should and spend where you should.

If I save a little more from my mom, I can live in a suite worth over 1,000 yuan in Shanghai and pursue Liang Sisen. (End of this chapter)
