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

Chapter 766: 2-choice-1

In early December, after finishing their investigation in Japan, Chen Tao and his group of more than ten people returned to Donghai. Then they held a meeting to introduce the relevant situation.

As of now, the higher-ups haven’t made up their minds yet.

We must take the overall situation into consideration, focus on future industrial integration, maintain a prudent attitude towards joint venture plans, and at the same time consider realistic constraints.

The reality is that there is no money.

Even with the relatively cheapest Japanese technology and equipment, the minimum budget would be $23 million.

But where does the ministry get so much money?
From the factory director Lao Ma down, everyone couldn't help but feel a little pessimistic. They felt that Chen Tao's plans were too extravagant. Although they looked good, they were like castles in the air and were not realistic at all.

Chen Tao didn't say anything else and asked Lao Han to prepare a low-cost plan.

Anyway, in four months, the newspaper will be published and the situation will have changed.

By then, there will be no obstacles to joint ventures and the use of foreign capital.

After the meeting, Chen Tao returned to his office.

He was just about to call his daughter when his secretary knocked on the door and said that there was a lesbian outside who claimed to be his sister-in-law and wanted to see him for something.

Chen Tao's thoughts turned, and he naturally realized that this sister-in-law was not from the Cheng family, so he hurriedly asked his secretary to bring her in.

Wei Chunhong, who was extremely anxious because Lei Dongbao was arrested, knelt down to Chen Tao as soon as she entered the office:

"Dong Bao has been arrested, Song Chang, only you can save him."

After Song Yunping's death, Lei Dongbao vowed never to marry in his life.

But...

Within a few years, he started dating Wei Chunhong, a widow who ran a restaurant.

Afterwards, he would dislike Wei Chunhong because of a woman named Feng Xinxin.

Just highlight the "deep affection and loyalty".

Of course, Chen the scumbag has no right to call others scumbags.

Chen Tao helped Wei Chunhong up and said with concern:
"Get up and talk to me. What happened?"

Wei Chunhong was worried: "Something happened to Chen Pingyuan, and Dongbao was implicated. Now the higher-ups have sealed the accounts of Xiao Lei's family, and Shi Gen was also arrested. Only Lei Zhongfu is safe in the village."

Chen Pingyuan was the former secretary. In the years since Old Xu returned to Beijing, he has been Lei Dongbao's backer.

But he is different from Lao Xu, he will ask for benefits.

Lei Dongbao was not proactive and arrogant in the triangular debt clearing task before, and had conflicts with the new leaders in the county.

Now that Chen Pingyuan has fallen from power, how can he, as the briber, gain any benefit?
Lei Shigen was the accountant, and he had a good character and was trustworthy, but he also did some stupid things, such as bribery, which he actually did in open accounts.

Lei Zhongfu is the person in charge of Xiao Lei's pig farm and has nothing to do with the overall situation.

Chen Tao was not interested in asking more questions and comforted him:
"Don't worry, this matter is still unclear. I don't understand the situation and can't act rashly. But there is one thing I want to make clear to you in advance. I will help Lei Dongbao, but if he really has committed a crime, I can't do anything about it."

Wei Chunhong's eyes were filled with tears: "Dongbao was taken away in front of me. Before he left, he only said five words to me, which were: go find Song Yunhui! If Dongbao was still your brother-in-law, would you still treat him like this?"

She is so smart, how could she not know what Lei Dongbao usually does.

If Chen Tao had not acted on his own will and handled the matter impartially, Lei Dongbao would definitely have gone to jail.

Chen Tao said seriously: "Even if my own sister was arrested, I would only seek leniency for her within the scope permitted by the law."

Wei Chunhong was distraught and walked towards the office door, then turned back and said with tears in her eyes:

"Director Song, I know you have something against me. As long as you can do your best to rescue Dongbao, I will divorce him immediately! In the past two years, you haven't even called him once, but every Chinese New Year he would wait by the phone, hoping to get your call. Every month when it's your sister's birthday or death anniversary, he wouldn't see me for a whole month! When we met again, he had lost a lot of weight. I cared about him, but he refused to say anything. I know very well that in his heart your family is more important than me. Director Song, I'm not saying this to win your sympathy and ask you to save him. I just want you to know that no one will blame you if you can't save Dongbao, but if you are cruel and don't save him, the scar in Dongbao's heart will never grow again in this life."

After saying all this, she still wanted Chen Tao to bend the law for personal gain.

Chen Tao said firmly: "I still say the same thing, I will try my best to help, but I will never do anything that I can't do or cannot do."

Wei Chunhong left disappointed.

"Wait, I'll go back with you to find out the situation."

Chen Tao decided to resolve the matter as soon as possible.

Lei Dongbao’s biggest problem is not actually bribery.

But there is no document to prove that Yang Xun’s wholesale market is affiliated with Xiao Lei’s family.

In this way, he let Yang Xun run the wholesale market, but only paid management fees, and was suspected of embezzling hundreds of thousands of collective assets.

At this amount, eating peanuts is enough.

So, Chen Tao prepared to take out the document and settle the matter.

After hearing what Chen Tao said, Wei Chunhong's face showed joy.

More than half an hour later, Chen Tao first delivered the gifts bought abroad to his home, and then drove back with Wei Chunhong.

That night, Cheng Kaiyan was furious.

Her husband refused to help her brother, but helped her former brother-in-law without hesitation.

Her husband went abroad and carefully prepared gifts for his daughter Xiaoyin and his parents, but she only had a dark red sweater, which was so tacky.

What’s even more outrageous is that he clearly prepared gifts for his own parents, so why didn’t he think of her parents?
It's on purpose!
Cheng Kaiyan became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. She was ready to wait for someone to come back and demand a satisfactory explanation from him, otherwise she would divorce him.

noon the next day.

After learning about the situation in the county, just like in the original drama, Chen Tao went to Wei Chunhong's hotel to pick her up and went to Xiao Lei's house together.

Then I met Lei Shigen.

Lei Dongbao took on all the responsibilities.

So all the people who were arrested, including him, were released.

But Yang Xun hasn't yet.

After all, he is also one of the parties suspected of embezzling collective assets. It is impossible to let him come back easily before the whole matter is thoroughly investigated.

When he learned the seriousness of the matter, Lei Shigen immediately became excited and swore that he had absolutely not hidden Yang Xun's investment documents, and handed over everything to the investigation team.

He wouldn't intentionally harm Lei Dongbao!
Wei Chunhong naturally didn't believe it.

"Shigen, calm down. No one doubts you. There are so many documents in the village and many affiliated units. It is normal that sometimes the documents cannot be sorted out in time."

Chen Tao first comforted her, and then began to "reason":
"If I'm not mistaken, Yang Xun should have discussed the matter of affiliation with Lei Dongbao personally. So since you haven't seen this document, it's very likely that it's still at Lei Dongbao's house. Come with us to look for it."

When Lei Shigen heard this, he immediately calmed down.

Wei Chunhong also felt a little relieved.

Five minutes later, the three of them arrived at Lei Dongbao's house.

Lei's mother was also at home at this time.

Back then, because her son always obeyed Song Yunping, she had a lot of opinions about her daughter-in-law. She thought she was a vixen who dragged her son to bed in broad daylight.

Now, she also has a grudge against the widow Wei Chunhong and thinks she is a jinx.

Anyway, as a mother-in-law, she has to be picky about her daughter-in-law.

After learning Chen Tao's intention, Lei's mother held his arm, burst into tears, and begged him to save Dongbao. Chen Tao did not delay, pretending to search for a while, and then he lifted the mattress and found the investment certificate.

Wei Chunhong, Lei's mother, Lei Shigen and a group of people who came after hearing the news couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Chen Tao ordered: "Shigen, there is no time to lose. Your sister-in-law Wei and I have to go to the county to hand over the things now. You have to take good care of the old man."

Lei Shigen thanked him and said, "Song Chang, after you hand it in, come back and I'll prepare some local specialties for you to take back and let your family taste..."

Xiao Lei's family raises fish, bullfrogs, and pigs, and they also run a copper factory and an electric wire factory, so they are indeed rich.

But by the end of the century, such village and town collective economic systems had basically disappeared.

"no need!"

Chen Tao smiled and declined, "The situation of your Xiao Lei family is not good right now. Now that Dong Bao is in prison, you have to shoulder the responsibility and think about how to overcome the difficulties ahead."

There was no problem for him to collect a few kilograms of fish, frogs and pork, but why were the local specialties that Lei Shigen prepared for him only these things that could not test people?

So it cannot be collected.

Lei Shigen wanted to persuade him again, but seeing Chen Tao's firm attitude, he had to nod and agree.

The way other people looked at him suddenly changed.

This is normal.

As long as you work together, there will inevitably be selfishness. Without Lei Dongbao, many people have their own ideas.

Chen Tao's words were more or less a support for Lei Shigen, after all, he holds a very important position.

county.

After handing in the capital contribution certificate, Chen Tao went to Chunhong Restaurant and had a bowl of noodles.

Wei Chunhong was very grateful to him.

This is also normal.

If he hadn't found out the situation and successfully found proof of investment, Lei Dongbao would have to spend the rest of his life in jail even if he didn't have to eat peanuts.

In such a comparison, what does it matter if he is unwilling to go a step further and rescue Lei Dongbao?

"No, no need!"

Chen Tao tried his best to refuse and rejected all the fresh ingredients, but still accepted the lunch box made by Wei Chunhong.

He had to rush back to Donghai overnight, so he would definitely be hungry on the way. It would definitely not be a waste to have some boxed lunch.

Actually, there’s nothing wrong with charging a little.

After all, he delayed his work and used the company bus for personal purposes!

Chen Tao set out at 1 p.m., rested for two hours, and returned to Donghai at 1 a.m.

Xiao Yin was sleeping soundly and Chen Tao even tucked the quilt in for her.

The next day.

Chen Tao went to work as usual and received a call from Director Lu.

He asked Chen Tao to go to Beijing to have another in-depth discussion on how to build the second phase of Donghai.

Chen Tao was well prepared and had already made two thick detailed plans to give him peace of mind when the time comes.

In addition, Chen Tao also has to find Lao Xu and report to him about Lei Dongbao's matter.

After all, to be honest, Old Xu was actually Lei Dongbao's benefactor. It was at Lei Dongbao's request that he recommended Song Yunhui to the Jinzhou Factory.

Of course, if Song Yunhui hadn’t explained the policies to Lei Dongbao, Lei Dongbao might not have set up a village-run collective enterprise and established a relationship with Lao Xu.

evening.

Chen Tao got off work on time, went to the Education Bureau to pick up Cheng Kaiyan, and then went to the restaurant for dinner.

When they arrived, the two elders of the Song family had already ordered the dishes.

When she got up this morning, the little girl first sang a song for her father, and then said she wanted to eat hot pot. How could Chen Tao refuse?

Arrange it for her directly.

In the car.

Cheng Kaiyan said disdainfully: "That sweater is so ugly."

Chen Tao laughed and said, "I really don't know how to choose women's clothing. But if I ask Mr. Feng and other female colleagues to help me, you will be suspicious, so I have to choose by myself."

Cheng Kaiyan paused when he heard this, then snorted and said, "You are abroad. No matter what you did, I don't know. I can only believe your words."

"It's up to you whether you believe it or not. Anyway, I only believe in myself. I will never believe those villains who use my name, hide it from me, and don't care about my life or death just for their own selfish interests!"

"You, you don't have any selfish interests? You can use your power to help Lei Dongbao, but you can't help my brother? He is your brother-in-law, aren't our family also your relatives? You are too partial! How many gifts have I bought for your parents before? But when you went abroad, you bought gifts for your parents and Xiao Yin, why didn't you think of buying gifts for my parents and my nephew? No matter what my brother did, he took care of Xiao Yin, and you don't appreciate it at all?"

"Use your brain! You can't ignore the fact that I asked Lao Min for help and let your brother become the deputy secretary of the new workshop just because your brother resigned on his own. You have no conscience."

"You are the one without conscience! My family has helped you so much, and now my dad has retired and asked you to help, but you are making excuses. You are the one without conscience!"

"Your family has helped me a lot? What are they? Tell me about them. You hypnotize yourself every day and you still take it seriously, right? If your father really has such great ability, why would he be so cunning and make so many calculations? Do you think I don't know why your father kept Xiao Yin? And why did your brother take care of Xiao Yin? What a joke!"

"Song! Yun! Hui!"

"I'll tell you frankly that from now on, I will never help your Cheng family with anything, because if I help you once, your father will have something on me, and I'll be tied to your broken boat and work like a cow or a horse for your brother who can't even spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. Instead of that, I'd rather go back to my hometown and farm. Think about it, which one do you want, your husband or your family?"
