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

November 22nd, light snow.

7pm, factory cafeteria, private room.

The five giants of the East China Sea are having dinner together.

Ma Baoping raised his glass and said to Chen Tao: "Xiao Song, this time it's all thanks to you!"

This is something that comes to mind.

Whether it is the Japanese side, the German side, or the American side that just left today, under the negotiation led by Chen Tao, they all expressed their sincerity in wanting to cooperate with Donghai and reached a relatively favorable preliminary plan.

Everyone in the East China Sea knows who deserves the credit for this.

The department is also very clear that if someone else were to do this job, even if they were capable, they would never be able to do it to the level of Chen Tao.

In fact, Chen Tao will go to Beijing tomorrow to give a report, especially focusing on the negotiation experience.

In this case, Chen Tao naturally has to be more modest:
"Old Ma, don't say that. This is all thanks to everyone. If it weren't for the close cooperation of all departments and their concerted efforts, it wouldn't have been so smooth."

After saying that, he raised his glass and clinked it with Lao Ma and the other three giants.

Han Zegang was actually a little bit dissatisfied with Chen Tao before, but now he has completely lost his enthusiasm.

As for Liu Yuhai, he was originally on Chen Tao's side.

As for Gao Xiangrong, the fence-sitter, he naturally wants to get closer to Chen Tao. After all, Chen Tao's future prospects are obvious, while Lao Ma is at the end of his career.

However, since Chen Tao has now united with Lao Ma, he doesn't need to be too anxious for the time being.

More haste less speed.

It’s better to be steady and knead the second and third phase glutinous rice dumplings first.

Once you get this great achievement, will you still be afraid of not being able to make progress in the future?

After finishing his glass, Lao Ma began to care about his comrade's life again: "Xiao Song, how is your family doing recently? You must be very tired taking care of your daughter! Do you plan to find someone to help you?"

Chen Tao shook his head: "My daughter is very well-behaved, I don't need to worry about her. As for finding another one, I'm not interested for now."

temporary?

Lao Ma and others were not surprised.

Chen Tao is so young, how could he not look for a partner? He would definitely look for one, and he would look for one with a strong family background, so that he could make progress.

Liu Yuhai asked, "By the way, has your ex-wife told her family about your divorce?"

"I guess not!"

Chen Tao sighed softly: "Given her father's personality, if he knew she was divorced, there is no way he would not make any move. They will definitely come back to Donghai to cause trouble for me."

Liu Yuhai commented: "Mr. Cheng was negligent in educating his children! He should also be held responsible for the divorce."

"Yes."

Gao Xiangrong continued, "He didn't educate his daughter well. He even gave benefits to his brother and sister-in-law without telling Song Chang. If something goes wrong, will Song Chang be able to escape? This is a sign that he doesn't treat Song Chang as a family member."

Han Zegang went a step further: "I think the problem with Old Cheng is not just in the education of his children, but also that he doesn't treat Song Chang as a family member. For the sake of his children, he doesn't care about Song Chang's life or death!"

After he said this, Lao Ma and others were speechless.

We haven't even had a round of drinks yet, and you're already talking drunkenly?
Chen Tao was also drunk: "Alas, what Lao Han said is right. After so many years of marriage, I have said countless times: we are a family! But in her heart, her family only includes her parents and brother and sister-in-law, and I am not there at all! If I don't do what she wants and don't help her family, it means I don't love her anymore and I have an affair! I will do something secretly! Don't they know that there are some things they can't help with? They must know, but they just don't care about me. I tolerated it again and again, until I couldn't stand it anymore, and then I agreed to divorce."

He is an award-winning actor, and his words were so heartfelt that they moved people deeply. Lao Ma and others hurried to comfort him.

So a banquet to celebrate the successful negotiation turned into a "complaint about marriage life" meeting.

Eight forty at night.

When Chen Tao got home, Cheng Kaiyan was sitting on the sofa in the living room, staring at him angrily with red eyes.

Chen Tao put down his briefcase and asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?"

Cheng Kaiyan shed tears: "My dad is very ill! I told you this afternoon that I confessed to my parents about our divorce. Dad was fine at the time, but an hour ago, my mom called and said that my dad was dying and had been sent to the hospital, and asked us to go back quickly."

Not working again?

None of my business.

Chen Tao looked embarrassed: "I have to go to Beijing tomorrow and I won't be able to go back to Jinzhou. You can take a bus back tomorrow morning."

"you!"

Cheng Kaiyan pointed at her ex-husband angrily, her eyebrows raised, and shouted: "You are so cruel! Because of our matter, my father is almost dying, and you refuse to go back? If Liang Sisen's father had an accident, would you still do this?"

Chen Tao said calmly, "For our sake? He only cares about you and your brother. What does it have to do with me? It was you who insisted on divorce and made him sick. It has nothing to do with me. Don't put the blame on me."

Cheng Kaiyan stamped her feet and said, "If you hadn't been messing around with that Liang Sisen, why would I divorce you! It's all because of you that my dad got into trouble!"

Chen Tao was not angry, and still looked calm:

"I'm having an affair with Sisen? You want to frame us, right? Okay, I can also suspect that you're having an affair with your brother, otherwise why would you go along with him in everything?"

Cheng Kaiyan's eyes widened, and her fingers trembled, just like Wang Situ who was about to fall off his horse after being scolded: "You, you you..."

Chen Tao sneered and sat down on another sofa, his face full of disdain:

"Am I wrong? You are willing to give benefits to your brother at the risk of your husband going to jail. If you didn't do something shameful, how could you do this? Get out of here now and don't make my house dirty."

Cheng Kaiyan jumped up and said, "Song, you are so shameless!"

The two elders of the Song family and Xiao Yin were just walking back from a nearby shopping mall and would not hear the quarrel between the two.

"It's normal for you to doubt me, but it's shameless for me to doubt you?"

Chen Tao's words were like knives: "You used to be my wife, and I gave in to you. Now you are no longer my wife, and I still have to tolerate your slander against me and Si Shen? Dream on! You only love yourself and your family, and have never loved me. You have never really thought about me! Marrying you is the biggest mistake I have ever made in my life!"

Cheng Kaiyan burst into tears: "I was blind to marry you!"

"You are not blind, but you have no brains. Your father is blind. No, your father's eyesight is actually very good. He saw that I have a promising future, so he asked you to bring me food every day, for fear that I would abandon you. Alas, it's my fault that I had no experience in my first marriage and fell into your family's trap. I really regret it." Chen Tao's words finally made Cheng Kaiyan completely break down.

Cheng Kaiyan looked like a madman and was about to beat up her ex-husband.

Chen Tao grabbed her wrist and said sarcastically:
"The truth won't hurt people? That's bullshit. Only the truth and facts can touch people's hearts! Looking at your expression, it's obvious that you are furious because of the facts. You know that you are not worthy of me at all. If your father hadn't arranged and calculated for you, could you have me? We're already divorced, but you still have the nerve to come to me and put the blame for your father's illness on me. You are really shameless and make me feel sick!"

Cheng Kaiyan collapsed and said, "I don't allow you to say that! You are not allowed to say that!"

Chen Tao thought about it and tried in vain to persuade him:
"You're just a fool! Your parents, brother and sister-in-law never cared about you. They just wanted to use you and made me take huge risks of breaking the law to get benefits for them. Have you ever thought about what you would do if something happened to me? They must have thought about it, but they don't care. They don't care about you! A daughter who is married off is like water spilled out. As long as they can get benefits, your life or death has nothing to do with them."

Cheng Kaiyan really didn't believe it: "You said they don't care about me, then what about you? Do you care about me? Nonsense!"

Chen Tao shrugged: "Whether it is nonsense or not, let time prove it. Anyway, I have said my last words here. I will not have such communication with you again in the future. Go back early!"

Cheng Kaiyan looked at her ex-husband with hatred: "I'm not going back! I want to wait for Xiaoyin to come home and take her back to Jinzhou to visit her grandfather tomorrow!"

Chen Tao lost his patience: "Your brother once said to your mother, do you really want to be a nanny for the daughter surnamed Song? So the reason why your parents want to take care of Xiao Yin is to use my daughter to control me. Their intentions are sinister! I will never let Xiao Yin return to your house again. If you continue to make trouble unreasonably, then I will specifically target your family in the future! Don't think that I am nothing special just because your father has become like that. I can deal with you with just one finger!"

After hearing this, Cheng Kaiyan said with a pale face: "My, my brother, did he really say such a thing? Don't lie to me!"

"Haha, in your heart, no one would lie to you, except your husband who truly treats you well. This is what disgusts me the most about you! I have to go on a business trip tomorrow, and I'm going to sleep now, so you better leave my house immediately."

"No, that's impossible! My brothers are not that kind of people. They just said those words in anger because you refused to help."

"Cheng Kaiyan, you are not worthy of being a mother."

"Wow, wow, wow~ No way, my parents are not like that, you're lying!"

"Okay, I lied, and you continue to be your daddy's girl. I want to see what will happen to you in the future."

Chen Tao didn't think that the Cheng family would live a peaceful life in the future.

For example, Cheng Qianli and his wife, with their restlessness, their situation will definitely be in chaos, getting worse and worse, and they may even fall into the abyss.

I just didn't expect that this day would come so soon.

The next afternoon, Cheng Kaiyan returned to the Cheng family whom she had not seen for a long time, and then went to the hospital with her mother to see Lao Deng.

As soon as she entered the ward, her brother Cheng Qianli couldn't help but complain:
"Kai Yan, what's wrong with you? Why didn't you discuss such a big thing as divorce with your family? Dad is almost mad at you!"

Yuan Xiang stood aside, and although his face showed a shared hatred for the enemy, he almost laughed to death in his heart.

For her, the joy brought by Cheng Kaiyan's misfortune is greater than the joy of getting investment returns!

These two joys overlapped with each other and brought more joy, which was very pleasant and numb.

Cheng Kaiyan ignored his brother and threw himself into Lao Deng's arms, crying.

Lao Deng actually wanted to criticize Cheng Kaiyan for not following orders, but given the current situation, he could only protect him:
"Nannan, don't be sad. This is not your fault. He is the one who let you down. When Dad gets better, we'll go and settle the score with him."

Yuan Xiang said angrily: "That's right, it's all Song Yunhui's fault, it's right to get a divorce!"

To your mother!
Lao Deng almost cursed out loud.

He had already learned the reason for the divorce yesterday and felt that his daughter might have really misunderstood her husband, so he wanted to persuade his daughter to reconcile and definitely did not want to encourage her desire to divorce.

Therefore, Cheng's mother, who had listened to his analysis of the interests, did not agree with her daughter-in-law, but just shed tears silently.

Cheng Kaiyan cried even louder, obviously agreeing with her sister-in-law.

Lao Deng felt both distressed and troubled.

My daughter acted too quickly.

You said he cheated on you, so why didn't you collect evidence first? Relying on one-sided statements and taking the initiative to divorce, it's really too passive.

And she didn't even want her daughter. Doesn't that mean she has completely severed ties with him?

No matter what plans you make in the future, you won’t be able to target him!
Lao Deng thought about it, but couldn't think of a better solution.

Writing a letter to the ministry, accusing the son-in-law of having an affair and abandoning his wife? What good is that?

Two and a half months have passed. Given the style of that bastard son-in-law, I guess the divorce situation has been reported to the authorities, right? Damn it!
I can only advise them to get back together.

But will that bastard agree?
Cheng Qianli said angrily: "Kaiyan, don't cry for now, we will go to Donghai to settle accounts with him in a few days! This Chen Shimei dared to bully my sister, I will definitely make his life miserable in the future!"

Cheng Kaiyan cried and refused: "I don't want to see him again, I won't go to Donghai!"

"No, we can't just let this matter go!"

When Cheng Qianli was a loser, he didn't take his ex-brother-in-law seriously. What's more, now that he has made money through investment?
And he was right: Cheng Kaiyan couldn't have divorced for no reason, and she must have been bullied.

"Qianli, stop talking!"

Lao Deng glanced at his son, then comforted his daughter:

"Forget it if you don't want to go. Even without him, Song Yunhui, the sky won't fall. Your parents will support you!"

Cheng Kaiyan cried again: "Dad, please get well soon. Don't let him make you sick."

Lao Deng hummed, "Okay, Dad is not angry, and you don't need to cry anymore. Tell me everything that happened before and after the divorce."

Now he is completely in the dark. He needs to understand the situation first before going to the East China Sea to settle accounts with that bastard.

Cheng Kaiyan did not hide anything, she sobbed and told many things. But she was afraid that Lao Deng would be upset again, so she did not tell him the hurtful words her ex-husband said.

Despite this, everyone in the Cheng family, except Yuan Xiang, was still furious.

Cheng Qianli rolled up his sleeves: "How dare you say I'm incompetent? When will he come back? I won't let him go!"

Old Deng had a gloomy face and did not stop his son.

Because through his daughter's words, he already understood that there was no way to persuade that bastard to get back together.

In this case, making a big deal out of it might be a good option.

Does he really dare to fight back and attack the Cheng family? Does he really want a future? There is no way he doesn't want one!
Therefore, we must force him to compromise through resolute struggle, and strive for more benefits for Kaiyan and our family! (End of this chapter)
