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

In the evening of New Year’s Eve, there is no more the hustle and bustle of welcoming and seeing off, and it is time for family reunion.

Chen Tao drove from his home in the dormitory area of ​​Donghai Factory and drove to his home in the city with Cheng Kaiyan.

Along the way, the two had nothing to say.

It’s not because Chen Tao didn’t plan to accompany her back to her parents’ home, but because she wanted to go back alone to celebrate the New Year, but her father disagreed.

Of course Lao Deng would not agree.

Even if his son-in-law really cheated on him, he would only use this handle to threaten his son-in-law to do things for his family.

If his daughter's happiness was really as important as he said, how could he possibly interfere in his daughter's marriage for the sake of his own son, or make things difficult for his son-in-law?
"Dad, give me a hug~"

After Chen Tao brought all the holiday gifts from the trunk into the house, the little girl in a red cotton jacket opened her arms to him.

Chen Tao picked her up and lifted her above his head, making her laugh.

Cheng Kaiyan stood aside, wondering if she should take her daughter with her if she got divorced in the future.
To be honest, she doesn't actually love her daughter that much.

In the original plot, she wanted to take her daughter away after the divorce, but what happened? When she had a new relationship, she sent her daughter back because she was in her way.

This is her love for her daughter.

He loves his daughter so much that Song Yunhui always sends his daughter to the Children's Palace, and he loves her so much that he doesn't even know his daughter's friend Tao Lingtian and his mother, Dr. Tao.

Although Chen Tao would not, like Song Yunhui in the original novel, not allow Cheng Kaiyan to meet her daughter casually, he would not let her take her daughter away either.

Just based on Cheng Qianli's words: "Do you really want to be a nanny for the Song guy?" Chen Tao couldn't believe that Xiao Yin could have a good life in their home.

At 7:15 pm, the New Year’s Eve dinner begins.

Cheng Kaiyan looked depressed. Even though she had parents-in-law, a husband, and a daughter, she still felt lonely.

This is not home!
Song Jishan put down his wine glass, ignored his daughter-in-law's displeasure, and asked with concern:
"Xiaohui, do you know what's going on with Dongbao? How many years will he be sentenced to?"

Although they also blamed Lei Dongbao for not protecting their daughter, the two elders of the Song family did not hate him so much, and even cared about him a lot.

After all, Lei Dongbao is really very good to Song Yunping.

The human heart is made of flesh.

If Cheng Kaiyan could treat their son like this, they would naturally treat Cheng Kaiyan as a family member.

Chen Tao consoled him, "Remember that Old Xu? With his help, Dongbao won't be sentenced for too long, probably just two years."

Song Jishan said, "It turned out to be Secretary Xu. He was the one who introduced you to the Jinzhou Factory. He is a good man."

Chen Tao echoed, "Yes, if it weren't for Old Xu's recommendation, how could I be valued by Secretary Shui? Last time I went to Beijing for a meeting, he also supported my research and judgment on the East China Sea Phase II, which helped me a lot."

When Cheng Kaiyan heard this, she actually understood what Chen Tao meant: that is, he did not rely on the Cheng family.

I suddenly felt ashamed and annoyed, and had a lot of inferiority complex, and I lost my appetite even more.

: p.m.

Chen Tao took his daughter out, and the father and daughter took a night cruise on the East China Sea together, admiring the magnificent fireworks that bloomed from time to time.

Cheng Kaiyan was on the phone at home, chatting with her parents, brother and sister-in-law.

The two elders of the Song family did not eavesdrop. After washing the pots and dishes, they went back to the bedroom to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

An hour later, Chen Tao took his daughter home, washed her face and feet, and asked her to go back to the bedroom first.

Chen Tao himself also went to the small study after washing up.

After all, it is just a two-bedroom apartment, and the study room separated from it is really small. It cannot be compared with his second office in the factory, which has space for a pile of documents, a large round conference table, a sofa and a coffee table.

But at home, it is enough to have space for a bookcase and a desk, with room for a telephone and a fax machine on the desk.

At 9:30 in the morning New York time, Liang Sisen dialed the phone number of her teacher in a happy mood.

While waiting for the call to be connected, she thought a lot, but after hearing the teacher's pleasant voice, all she could think of was just one sentence:

"Happy New Year, teacher."

Chen Tao smiled and said, "Sishen, I wish you a happy New Year as well. I wish you will always be in a good mood in the new year."

Liang Sishen chuckled and said with great anticipation: "If I can meet Teacher Song, whom I haven't seen for twelve years, as soon as possible this year, and he is as young and energetic as he was back then instead of being as arrogant as an old man, I will naturally be very happy."

Chen Tao laughed and said, "You are really old-fashioned. It seems that you will never catch up with me in terms of language."

Liang Sishen was full of fighting spirit: "I am nine years younger than you. When I reach your age, I will definitely surpass you!"

"Then come on, I won't stop to wait for you."

Not to mention anything else, Chen Tao's ability to remember everything he sees is beyond the reach of others.

"Well, Mr. Song, I am actually a little discouraged because you defeated me in my best professional field."

As of last Friday, every investment suggestion made by Chen Tao was impeccable, and she also increased her investment, and is now close to the original goal.

Having money is, of course, a very happy thing.

But Liang Sisen was unwilling to accept the fact that she was being left further and further behind by her teacher.

Isn't she working so hard just to defeat the teacher?

At least they should be evenly matched!
The result was a complete failure.

Chen Tao did not try to comfort her, but instead used provocation: "Sishen, so you want to admit defeat?"

"would not!"

Liang Sisen snorted, "I will accept your suggestion and set up an investment company belonging to the two of us, but I will not easily agree to provide funds to contribute to your current East China Sea project unless you have the corresponding conditions and sufficient returns. You must convince me!"

"It belongs to you. I only want 1% of the consulting fee. Please donate to a few rural schools for me!"

"Mr. Song, that's millions of dollars!"

At present, what does this amount of money mean? Michael Jordan's salary is 4 million US dollars, ranking second in the league. The first is Robinson, with 5.7 million.

"I know, but I only have three meals a day and a bed to sleep on, that's all. I don't need that much."

"..."

Liang Sisen has always admired his teacher, respected his character and respected his dreams. Looking back now, his teacher is still the same person full of idealism.

This is probably what the teacher said to her last month: I hope you can travel for half your life and still be a young man when you return.

She requested, "Mr. Song, I want to go back to see you in advance. I want to see the Donghai Factory that carries your dream!"

Chen Tao advised: "Don't worry, I need your help to contact Luoda. The situation may change in the next few months, and the second phase of Donghai will enter the substantive stage, so I need to contact Luoda."

In fact, Liang Sisen has helped him a lot over the years, such as in the export department of Jinzhou Chemical Plant.

In this regard, Lao Deng has no right to say that it was his credit that he proposed that Song Yunhui serve as the head of the export department concurrently as the workshop director.

Without Song Yunhui, can the export department of Jinzhou Factory survive?

"Okay, okay!"

Liang Sisen was a little reluctant because the communication during this period made her want to meet the teacher even more.

But since the teacher needed her, she couldn't refuse.

Next... naturally they talked about daily life and shared interesting things that happened to each other, rather than talking about the relevant situation of Luoda Company.

After all, it’s the Spring Festival, talking about work would be such a disappointment!

Outside the study, Cheng Kaiyan burst into tears as she heard this.

Her husband had never had such a good time chatting with her.

Fortunately, they were separated by an ocean, so she could still endure it for the time being.

The fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

Cheng Kaiyan returned to Jinzhou alone.

She wanted to take her daughter back, but firstly her husband wouldn't allow it, and secondly the little girl herself didn't want to go.

She had no choice but to give up and wait until she got home to complain to her parents.

Cheng's mother never distinguishes right from wrong.

She firmly believed that her son-in-law was an ungrateful person, and her granddaughter was also an ungrateful person.

Lao Deng cursed the son-in-law for being ungrateful, but he knew in his heart that what his son-in-law said about him relying on the two secretaries Xu and Shui was true.

But he would never admit it.

If the son-in-law is not an ungrateful person or a Chen Shimei, and is not worried that this bad reputation will affect his career, how can you control him in the future?
This son-in-law has no other leverage!
"Kaiyan, it's really hard for you to be stuck in the middle..."

Lao Deng comforted him at first, then changed the subject: "But he is right. Since you are married to him, you are a member of his family. You should think about him instead of making things difficult for him. I will not go to him for your brother anymore. You should live a good life with him peacefully. Don't be angry with him, and don't make him angry."

Cheng Kaiyan said nothing, her eyes full of resentment.

Cheng Qianli snorted, "An ungrateful person like him, once those people realize his selfish nature, will they still associate with him and help him get promoted? He has reached the end of his rope! Who knows when he will be taken down again. Kaiyan will definitely be implicated if she continues to follow him. Forget about living a good life, just don't go to jail!"

Talking such bullshit on New Year's Day!

If this idiot wasn't his own son, Lao Deng would definitely blow his head off with a teapot.

Yuan Xiang smiled and fanned the flames: "Qianli is right. I heard someone say that being an official requires harmony and unity. Song Yunhui doesn't even help his own family. Who would believe that he is the same as himself? He will definitely be excluded in the future and will get into trouble. It's better to divorce him now."

In fact, she was very jealous of Cheng Kaiyan.

People are afraid of comparison!

Compared with Song Yunhui, her husband is undoubtedly a hopeless waste.

So does her father-in-law.

Such a big leader retired, but there was no one to support him. Even ordinary employees looked down on him!
At his age, he's living like a dog.

No wonder his children are all so useless.

Bad bamboo can never produce good bamboo shoots!

Lao Deng said dissatisfiedly: "No matter how much you dislike Song Yunhui, you should hope for a little happier face, right? It's New Year's Day, don't say such things anymore."

Cheng Kaiyan said calmly: "I think what my sister-in-law said makes sense."

Yuan Xiang cursed in her heart: "Sister Xiao is so stupid!"

Lao Deng became anxious and racked his brains to comfort his daughter, trying to make her change her thoughts and tendencies.

Otherwise, one day you get divorced on impulse and it will be too late to regret it.

***
After the Spring Festival, Chen Tao returned to work mode.

As for the work direction, it is the research and development and trial production of a polymerizing agent.

Chen Tao possesses all the knowledge and experience of Song Yunhui, and he also studies seriously. Therefore, he did not slack off on this project. Instead, he played a leading and guiding role.

He has made great contributions.

On February 18th, the Lantern Festival, at the factory meeting, Lao Ma had to applaud him.

After Chen Tao made some polite remarks and got him to agree to increase research funding and reward his team, he got down to business.

He first looked at Han Zegang and said apologetically, "Old Han, you can stop the plan you are working on. You can also leave the Japanese alone for now."

Then he spread out the four thick document bags next to his teacup and said with a smile:
"I've been studying the wind direction recently and I estimate that the situation will change in the next month, so I've re-drafted the overall development plan outline after the second phase. Therefore, today's meeting may last until the afternoon or even the evening. You can read the document first. If there is anything you don't understand, I'll explain it to you."

Why are there only four documents? Because Chen Tao wanted to show off his extraordinary photographic memory and let these people know that he is the eldest brother and the team cannot accomplish this without him!

noon.

After the five giants of the East China Sea had lunch together in the cafeteria, they went to the conference room.

Many middle-level managers were curious about this. However, this meeting had certain confidentiality requirements and would not be disclosed until the second phase of the project was finalized, so as not to affect subsequent negotiations...

In fact, in the original plot, Song Yunhui made a lot of mistakes during the negotiations with Liang Sishen.

It cannot be said that he sold out state secrets, but it is an indisputable fact that he did not fulfill his confidentiality responsibility, which led to passiveness in the negotiations and increased costs.

As for having an affair with Liang Sisen, that's nonsense.

Song Yunhui in the play is not like him in the original novel, mentally unfaithful, nor is he obsessed with climbing up. He doesn't care about his personal honor or disgrace at all.

Of course Chen Tao wouldn't care, but he was sure that nothing would happen to him and he would be sent to the Pengyang Factory to research pesticides, so naturally it would be impossible for him to develop "bamboo amine".

Instead, he has to achieve greater success in the petrochemical industry.

evening.

With Lao Ma taking the lead in the vote, Chen Tao's plan was approved and will soon be sent to Beijing for review and study.

In fact, Chen Tao had already discussed this with Lu Si in advance.

But this kind of thing is not something that Lu Si can decide alone.

In addition, there will be discussions on the general direction during this period, and I may not be able to take care of the projects here for the time being.

Therefore, Chen Tao expects the results to be out in April.

And during this month and a half, he could naturally relax a lot.

It’s a pity that it’s not very convenient for him to go abroad given his status, otherwise he could give his students a surprise.

But he gave it a try anyway.

"Going to Luoda for an inspection? Sure, you write an application."

Lu Si is very easy to talk to.

There's no way to be bad at talking.

After all, Chen Tao has a good student who is willing to provide a low-interest loan of no more than 10 million US dollars for the East China Sea Phase II project if he decides to use a debt plan at that time.

In this case, how can we not let Chen Tao go to the United States and keep an eye on this rich man?

So on the afternoon of February 28th, Chen Tao took his daughter to Hongqiao Airport and then boarded a plane to the United States for a half-month inspection.

Liang Sishen knew nothing about this.

Cheng Kaiyan was smart and knew that her husband would definitely go to meet his students. (End of this chapter)
