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

The tenth day of the first lunar month, Rain Water.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Lao Deng, who had arrived in Donghai the day before yesterday afternoon, received a call from his ungrateful ex-son-in-law, asking him to meet him at the factory on time at 12:30.

The reason why he chose this time, which is almost the time for a nap, is naturally because Chen Tao did not want to delay his work and put personal matters above work.

Oh, he is too dedicated.

Twelve forty.

After lunch, Chen Tao chatted and laughed with Liang Sisen, and went back to the office together. He met Lao Deng's family of four downstairs.

There were indeed four of them, because Lao Deng’s grandson also came.

Lao Deng and his friends neither knew Liang Sisen nor had they seen her photo, so they just thought she was a subordinate of their ex-son-in-law. After all, she was also wearing a rather large work suit.

Although Cheng Kaiyan saw Liang Sisen in the photo much younger, only about fifteen or sixteen years old, she could still recognize Liang Sisen at a glance.

"Xiao Hui..."

As soon as Lao Deng opened his mouth, Chen Tao pointed upstairs and said, "It's so windy today, let's talk upstairs!"

It sounds like caring for the elderly, and actually it is. Otherwise, it would be quite troublesome if something happened to the two old guys.

Cheng Kaiyan ignored the conversation between her father and her ex-husband, and focused all her eyes and attention on the hateful Liang Sisen.

If she really robbed her husband, Liang Sisen would definitely feel guilty, but since she didn't rob him, why should she hide? She immediately looked at the former teacher's wife with a calm and curious look.

Until Chen Tao went upstairs and entered his office, he had no intention of introducing them to the others.

Liang Sisen didn't mind, she just wanted to see Cheng Kaiyan and had no interest in talking to her.

Cheng Kaiyan didn't say anything either.

In front of Engineer Feng and Doctor Tao, two suspected mistresses, she had the confidence and courage to make a scene and fight.

But when faced with Liang Sisen, whom she believed was her mistress, she didn't have the courage to cause any trouble.

She just bullies the weak and fears the strong.

Whenever Engineer Feng was slandered, he would scold her immediately; whenever Doctor Tao was beaten, he would fight back immediately. She would definitely give in.

The only thing she would never give in is when facing her ex-husband.

Chen Tao sat on the sofa and said in a somewhat cold tone: "Sit down!"

Cheng Kaiyan sat opposite him, and the old Deng couple and their three grandchildren also sat on the sofa in the middle.

Ms. Liang occupied the teacher's chair like a secretary, staring at the computer, dragging the mouse from time to time, as if she was working. In fact, she pricked up her ears and listened to their conversation.

Lao Deng hesitated to speak and deliberately glanced at Miss Liang.

Chen Tao didn't need to care about his concerns and feelings, and urged directly:

"Just tell me what you want to say. I have a meeting in the afternoon. I'm going to the dormitory to sleep in twenty minutes."

As soon as these words were spoken, Lao Deng guessed that this pretty secretary must be preparing a speech for Chen Tao.

So he ignored Miss Liang, told her everything that had happened in his family during this period, and explained his purpose, asking Chen Tao to look into it and find the missing Cheng Qianli and his wife as soon as possible.

Cheng Kaiyan thought her ex-husband would refuse this time, but she guessed wrong. Chen Tao agreed immediately:
"Okay, I'll try to call them when I have time and ask them for help. Is there anything else?"

Agreeing does not mean really helping.

If this is easy to do, then Chen Tao really doesn't mind helping and bringing Cheng Qianli back to face those creditors.

But is this easy?

It's not easy, he doesn't want to owe anyone a favor because of the Cheng family.

“Thank you~ Thank you!”

Old Deng was naturally aware that his words were a bit perfunctory, but he still sincerely thanked his former son-in-law first, and then said to his daughter:

"Kaiyan, you will take the child back to Jinzhou first. Your mother and I will stay in Donghai and wait for news."

Chen Tao didn't comment, he stood up and stretched.

Lao Deng immediately said goodbye.

Before leaving, Cheng Kaiyan looked at Miss Liang again, moved her lips a few times, but still did not speak.

After she left, Ms. Liang said confidently: "Mr. Song, she must have recognized me."

Chen Tao laughed and joked: "You stole her husband. What kind of impression and shadow did you leave on her? Of course she can recognize you."

Miss Liang said angrily: "It's obvious that you have fallen in love with someone else and are hopelessly in love with your female student, so you abandoned her!"

Chen Tao nodded and admitted: "If she didn't ask for a divorce, I would also cheat and be with Miss Liang, who is young, beautiful and lovely and who loves me deeply."

Miss Liang snorted, "I still love you? I've dated eight, if not ten, boyfriends in the United States, but I never thought of dating you."

Chen Tao said aggrievedly: "This is too unfair, isn't it? I want to find ten or eight more girlfriends too."

When Ms. Liang heard this, she immediately used American double standards expertly:
"No! You can only love me in this life, and you are not allowed to flirt with other women."

Chen Tao smiled and said, "Then tell me the story of Miss Liang and her ten or eight boyfriends!"

Ms. Liang chuckled and began to tell a story: "My first boyfriend was when I was sixteen. I received a call from someone on the other side of the ocean..."

That night, after sending their daughter and grandson on the train, the two elders of the Cheng family did not go directly back to the hotel to rest, but went to the Song family.

As a result, the Song family left the house.

The Song family's two elders and the little cutie have now moved to the villa purchased by Miss Liang. It is a quiet place where they will not be disturbed, especially by the Cheng family.

Mother Cheng wiped her tears and angrily said to Lao Deng: "Don't look for him anymore!"

Lao Deng sighed, "If not him, who else can we ask? Qianli and Yuanxiang can choose not to return to Jinzhou, but where can we go at our age? As long as Qianli is not arrested, we can not pay back the 300,000 yuan in the bank, but what about the rest? With my pension, the interest is not enough. If I don’t ask for help, what good life will your grandson have in the future? Kaiyan is ignorant, this girl is ignorant! I am also anxious, too anxious!"

At the end of the conversation, the old man was so sad that he burst into tears.

Fortunately, he has suffered too many blows during this period of time, which has trained and strengthened his ability to withstand stress, and he has not had any further attacks.

No matter what, he couldn't fall down until all the troubles were resolved.

On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, Liang Sisen boarded a flight to Hong Kong Island.

The old Deng couple also returned to Jinzhou three days ago.

If they don't go back, not to mention other creditors, the relatives and friends of the Cheng and Yuan families who have borrowed money will also come to collect the debt.

Don't talk about investment risks or about personal connections; these words are useless.

Just like what the prostitute in "Ling Ling Qi" said, even if you talk about love, you still have to pay the price for your love affairs, one thing is one thing!

As long as the Cheng family pays back the money, we will still be relatives and friends.

***
It was already March when Chen Tao returned from Beijing.

The sixth day, Jingzhe, early morning.

It rained all night last night.

This morning, the green plants in the yard are even more lush.

The old man got little sleep, so Song Jishan had already gotten up and was taking a walk in the yard as his son had instructed.

He had drunk pesticides before, and now that he was getting older, he really needed to do some exercise and maintenance. Song's mother went out to the vegetable market to buy the ingredients for today's meal.

Master bedroom on the second floor.

After listening to the story last night, the six-year-old girl slept between her father and her stepmother, Miss Liang. Her sleeping posture at this moment can only be described as heroic.

She hugged her stepmother's neck and put her feet on her father, and her whole body was like a twisting loach.

After Chen Tao woke up, he saw that the mother and daughter were on good terms, so he took out his camera and took a picture of them.

He immediately moved to the other side and hugged Miss Liang.

Miss Liang opened her eyes and saw that the father and daughter each had half without any delay, and she immediately felt like complaining.

But the morning is the most important part of the day, and the moment was so warm that she didn't want to talk, so she closed her eyes again, changed into a comfortable position in someone's arms, and went back to sleep for a nap.

First floor guest room.

Xun Jianxiang also woke up.

The main reason he returned to Donghai this time was to see his brothers. As for technical work such as investigation and investment, he neither understood it nor was too lazy to learn about it.

It would be enough for him to just do a job like a hanger-on.

This is what he is good at.

During his time in Hong Kong Island, he spoke a foreign language mixed with his local accent and felt like a fish in water.

He even had two girlfriends, but he quickly got rid of them.

He felt that the girls from Hong Kong were more realistic than those from the mainland. They only cared about money and were really boring, so he just played with them for fun.

Of course, he didn't feel comfortable telling his sister-in-law about this, nor did he want to tell his brothers.

After all, in his eyes, his brother is a gentleman. When he heard about this, he would probably criticize him.

That’s right, his brother Song Yunhui is indeed a gentleman.

But Chen Tao is not... probably not.

A quarter past nine in the morning.

Yang Xun brought gifts and went to visit his parents and little niece.

After learning from Xiao Yin that her father would play with her whenever he was free on Sundays, Yang Xun would often take time to come over and visit.

Logically speaking, since he has money, he can find another backer for himself.

But the problem is that it’s too damn expensive to find a backend.

He really doesn't want a background like Xiao Ran.

And someone like Brother Xiaohui, who has a powerful background and doesn't ask for money, is the one he desires.

But there is one thing: although Brother Xiaohui doesn't want his money, he doesn't do any work either, which makes him worried.

Brother Xiaohui, Brother Xiaohui, can’t you just take a symbolic fee and do my job properly?
You once promised my mother that you treated me as your own brother!

With a depressed mood, Yang Xun walked into the Song family, no, the Liang family.

When he saw Liang Sishen, and especially Xun Jianxiang, the feeling of alienation in his heart became even stronger.

Liang Sisen was fine, after all, they had never had any contact, but Xun Jianxiang returned to Donghai without telling him?

Given his relationship with Xun Jianxiang, this is very abnormal!
Living room on the first floor.

Yang Xun sat on the sofa, forced a smile and said, "Brother Daxun, you are back, why don't you come to see me? We haven't seen each other for a long time, it's time to catch up!"

Xun Jianxiang laughed: "Do you think I'm here for a vacation? If Boss Liang doesn't give me a holiday, how can I leave?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Xun immediately looked at the beautiful and elegant Miss Liang.

Liang Sisen smiled and said, "Anyway, I came to Donghai for tourism. As for why Daxun didn't come to find you? I guess he went to meet someone of his own!"

She would never make such a joke before.

But after following Chen Tao, she also kept up with the pace, and her personality gradually became more and more lively and cheerful, and she no longer let people experience her arrogance.

Chen Tao said seriously, "Daxun is not young anymore, it's time for him to find a partner. Sisen, you should know a lot of good girls, if there is a suitable one, you can introduce it to him."

Liang Sishen looked at Xun Jianxiang and asked curiously, "What do you want from your future wife? I have a few classmates who are single too. I can introduce them to you."

Seeing that his sister-in-law was serious, Xun Jianxiang quickly refused:

"How can a rough guy like me date a college student? And a foreigner? No, no, we have nothing in common. I can just find an ordinary girl in the future."

Liang Sisen disagreed: "What's wrong with college students? As long as they like each other, they can naturally develop a common language slowly!"

Xun Jianxiang still shook his head.

When he was a gangster, he had a girlfriend, but she no longer liked him because he became serious and broke up with him.

This makes him completely unable to understand what women are thinking. He has little interest in love and marriage. So he just muddles along for the time being!
Liang Sishen glanced at Chen Tao, and when she saw him nod, she no longer insisted.

Yang Xun thought to himself: "Since Daxun doesn't need you to introduce him, why don't you introduce someone to me?"

He just thought so and didn't dare to say it out loud even in a joking way.

After all, Boss Liang never talked much to him, so if he said anything, it would only add to the embarrassment.

And his official partner, Ren Xiaer, will obviously no longer have any contact with him.

Since he had no plan to open a shopping mall, he naturally would not buy the land of a bankrupt knitting factory. He also would not have met the laid-off female worker Ren Xiaer and encouraged her to give her a job as long as she could get an accounting certificate.

Ren Xiaer in the book was a college student. As soon as he entered Yang Xun's company, he was arranged by his second brother Yang Su to be the head of the company's finance department, just below the financial manager Lao Bi.

But in the drama, to be honest, the reason why she changed her personality was undoubtedly to make the contrast between her and Liang Sisen stronger...

Xun Jianxiang took a sip of tea and asked Yang Xun, "How is your market going recently?"

Yang Xun immediately started to complain, mainly about Xiao Ran.

Unfortunately, Chen Tao remained indifferent and had no intention of supporting him at all.

Yang Xun felt very disappointed, but he still cheered up, looked at Xun Jianxiang, and asked him:

"Brother Daxun, this is not a solution. I want to start a new business. You've been working in Hong Kong Island for quite some time, so you're well-informed. Why don't you give me some advice?"

"I?"

Xun Jianxiang pointed at himself and couldn't help complaining: "I'm just a worker. I do whatever Boss Liang says. How can I know how to run a business?"

Yang Xun looked at Liang Sishen again.

Liang Sisen smiled and said, "Brother Daxun is too modest!"

Yang Xun waited for ten seconds, but Liang Sishen only said this one sentence, with no intention of giving him any instructions at all.

Chen Tao suggested: "You have to do your own research when doing business. When you have time, you can go out and have a look! No matter how good others say it is, it may not be suitable for you."

Yang Xun immediately agreed: "That's indeed the truth."

Then he smiled at Xun Jianxiang and said, "I'll handle the formalities as soon as possible. When I go to Hong Kong Island, you have to treat me to a drink!"

Xun Jianxiang nodded. (End of this chapter)
