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

National Day is here.

Since Coco is still young, Chen Tao couldn't bear to leave him and his mother behind and go on a long road trip with the little girl.

Just have fun in Donghai!

The natural endowments of Donghai are actually quite superior, with mountains, waters, forests and seas all offering something to enjoy.

On the 5th, Lei Dongbao also brought his wife and children, as well as his mistress Feng Xinxin's child to Donghai, and showed off his new Tiger Benz.

In fact, in the book, what he bought was not an S-Class, but an E320, which was not cheap either.

In the play, after Yang Xun and Ren Xiaer's wedding, Song Yunhui advised him not to be greedy for enjoyment and stay away from the masses.

Of course Lei Dongbao didn't listen, saying that all Chinese people care about face and buying a good car would make it easier for him to do business.

There is some truth in this, but it needs to be analyzed in detail.

Although Xiao Lei's family seems to be doing well now, in fact, they are completely dependent on debt to make ends meet.

Don’t say that the tax-sharing reform has led to local governments being unwilling and unmotivated to support local enterprises.

The problem of Xiao Lei's family lies with themselves. It can even be said that the local government supports Xiao Lei's family too much, which has caused Lei Dongbao and others to become path-dependent, lack the ambition to make progress, and have extremely xenophobic tendencies.

How many talents are there in Xiao Lei's family?

Wan Guangxin, an expert from another place, made many suggestions, but did the local leaders, including Lei Dongbao, respect him? They were always on guard against him, and when he ran away, they resented him.

It would be abnormal if Xiao Lei’s family didn’t fail.

Saturday afternoon.

Seeing the car drive away, the little girl sighed:
"Dad, my uncle really looks like a gangster from Hong Kong!"

Liang Sisen burst out laughing, thinking that this description was very apt.

Chen Tao said meaningfully: "Even those gangsters may not be as strong and domineering as him. If you rise by this, you will fall by this. The harder you suppress, the faster and stronger the rebound will be. The people in Xiao Lei's family are not easy to deal with."

The little girl didn't quite understand, but Liang Sisen already understood: "It's a pity that he is always unwilling to listen to your opinion."

Chen Tao asked with a smile: "Then is Miss Liang willing to listen?"

Liang Sisen snorted: "Of course I listen!"

Chen Tao took her hand and said seriously, "Since you listen, I suggest that I carry you home now, okay?"

Xiao Yin immediately expressed his opinion: "Dad, this suggestion is very good, I agree with it."

Chen Tao picked her up and said, "But I object, because your mother Liang has grown too fat recently. I can't hold her, so I can only hold you."

"Where am I heavy?!"

Liang Sisen was very angry and waited for her husband to hold her in his arms and watch TV for two hours before she calmed down.

In the book, she did gain weight for a while after giving birth, and she even didn't allow her husband to turn on the lights when they were doing that, so that he wouldn't see her bloated waist.

In the drama, the two decided to get married only on Christmas this year, and she didn't get pregnant or have a child until the end of the drama.

Before Christmas, Grandpa Liang is going back to the United States.

In addition to Liang Daolin and his wife, Chen Tao and Liang Sishen also went to the airport to see them off.

Chen Tao never talked about serious matters with Liang Daolin. In order to prevent his daughter from being implicated, Grandpa Liang had to step in himself and told his son-in-law Liang Daolin to take care of himself in the future and not get into trouble.

Just as the Liang family looked down on their daughter-in-law, Liang's mother, Grandpa Liang also looked down on their son-in-law, Liang Daolin.

In his opinion, Liang Daolin was just relying on the blessing of his ancestors and had no ability worth mentioning. Compared with his grandson-in-law, whom he couldn't see through, he was a thousand miles away.

Out of the airport.

Chen Tao drove and went directly back to Donghai with Liang Sisen.

Liang Daolin and his wife also returned to their home.

The two cars were driving in opposite directions, and if nothing unexpected happened, they would meet again on the other side of the ocean.

The Liang family’s troubles were not just due to financial problems.

When Liang Daolin got into trouble, it wasn’t just because of Liang Fan’s financial problem.

He is definitely not the kind of person with principles and bottom lines that he claims to be.

As for Liang Fan, the capital he used for speculation was not just his own funds, bank loans, and other private loans.

Just like the dirty money that brought Ding Hai to the top, it also came from gangsters, drug dealers in South America, and John who collected protection fees on Wall Street.

A few days later, Liang Sisen spent New Year's Day with her husband in Donghai. Because of this, she didn't know that her parents went to Hong Kong Island.

Liang Daolin is not stupid. No matter how good Liang Fan's words are, he has to go to Hong Kong Island to see the actual situation.

***
February 6, 1997, it was New Year’s Eve again.

Living room on the first floor.

With the sound of the Spring Festival Gala playing in the background, Xiao Yin used his father's computer to play the first part of "Resident Evil".

Chen Tao leaned back on the sofa and exchanged New Year greetings with his friends and colleagues.

Liang Sisen was also there, teasing her son.

Every time she goes to Hong Kong Island, as long as the stay exceeds three days, she immediately wants to fly back to be with her son. She wishes she could give her heart and soul to this boy. She will probably continue to dote on her son in the future.

There is just one thing that still makes her jealous.

Because when Coco was eight months old, he called dad first, even though other children called mom first!

This made her think that it might be because she did not spend as much time with her son as her husband, so she doted on him even more and often made the little one so annoyed that he had to ask his father for help.

At this moment, Coco was stained by her mother's saliva again. She quickly stretched out her little hand, grabbed her father's arm, and called "Dad".

As soon as Chen Tao stretched out his hand, Liang Sishen slapped him and told him not to snatch her son away.

Chen Tao decided to go all out and simply hugged both mother and daughter in his arms.

Hong Kong Island, Peakview Garden, looking for home.

Xun Jianxiang put down his phone and said to Yang Xun opposite him:

"To be honest, we are both not young anymore, we should consider getting married and having children."

Yang Xun took a sip of wine and said enviously:

"Your brother Daxun is now worth tens of millions, so of course he can focus on finding a partner. But I can't. My top priority right now is to make money."

Xun Jianxiang didn't understand finance, nor did he want to learn or try it, so he bought a house based on Chen Tao's advice, whether in Hong Kong Island or in Shenzhen.

His real estate speculation behavior also strengthened Yang Xun's determination to engage in speculation.

Because many people are saying that after the mid-year return, the current turbulent capital market will rise, which is a good time to buy at the bottom.

Xun Jianxiang said with emotion: "I am really not as good as you! If I didn't have the help of Xiaohui and Sishen, I would definitely not be where I am today if I relied on myself. But you are different. You are more courageous than me, and you are more motivated than me. You are not like me who just eats and waits for death."

I just want to eat and wait for death!

But Brother Xiaohui and his wife refused to take me out to play!
If possible, Yang Xun would rather hang out with Liang Sisen than with people like Liang Fan who are difficult to serve.

Yang Xun sighed, "Alas, I have no choice. My family is so poor, and I have three younger brothers and sisters. If I don't make progress, how can I live? I have no choice but to work hard to make money."

Xun Jianxiang nodded and said, "You just take care of it. I don't understand stocks, but I know that many people have lost money in stock trading and are in debt."

'How stupid! If others lose money, doesn't that mean you gain money? Where does your million-dollar annual salary come from? If I were you, I would never be content with a small fortune!'

Yang Xun was very disdainful and thought that Xun Jianxiang had a brain problem and should go to Qingshan or Chongguang for treatment.

But this mentally ill person is extremely lucky. Not to mention the house he owns, even the car he drives is a million-dollar Mercedes. It's really unfair to God.

There is also a Lei Dongbao, who now drives a Mercedes-Benz!

Of the four people back then, only he was still riding on a Mazhida. How could this be possible?

If there is a party in the future, he might be late!
In fact, he could guess that Lei Dongbao was in a bad situation, he just swollen his face and pretended to be fat. After all, he had contact with the Xiao Lei family cable factory and knew some details.

So, in the drama, he doesn't mind Lei Dongbao driving a Mercedes-Benz, and would rather buy two cheaper cars.

But Xun Jianxiang had really become rich, and he couldn't hold back any longer.

He had only one thought, that it was useless to earn money in an honest way, and if he wanted to achieve the ultimate goal of becoming rich and powerful, he had to take shortcuts!

No matter what kind of shortcut it is, as long as it works, you have to take it with big strides!
Otherwise, he would never be able to compare with Xun Jianxiang, his former subordinate, and he might even have to curry favor with him in the future.

He doesn't want to have to be servile and smile all his life.

Jinzhou, Cheng family.

Cheng Kaiyan was eating melon seeds while watching the Spring Festival Gala on TV, but it felt boring and she thought it would be better to play mahjong.

But that won’t work tonight.

Her aunt colleagues all have to spend time with their families tonight, so how can they have time to accompany her?

So, she is quite boring.

Fortunately, she had a good nephew who, when he went out to play with firecrackers, accidentally blew himself up, which gave her something to do.

Factory hospital.

Cheng's mother complained, "It must be because of that phone call I received this afternoon that I am so unlucky."

Cheng Kaiyan couldn't hold it in any longer: "Xiao Yin is my daughter. How could I not answer the phone when she called me? It's because you didn't think highly of him!"

Cheng's mother was dissatisfied and said, "What do you mean I didn't take good care of him? How do I know you bought him firecrackers?"

Cheng Kaiyan retorted, "Xiao Yin also loves to play with firecrackers, how come nothing happened to her? It's because her grandma wouldn't ignore her just because she wanted to watch the fun."

"You damned girl, you have to put the blame on me, right? How unfilial! Even if your father hadn't had an accident, he would have been pissed off to death by you sooner or later!"

Mother Cheng was upset, but it was not easy to say something unpleasant during the New Year, so she could only glare at her daughter and change the subject:

"I said that Song Shimei, this ungrateful bastard, will definitely get his comeuppance. Now he's been kicked out of the Donghai Factory! What about Liang? She dared to steal someone else's husband, so she won't have a good ending in the future!"

Cheng Kaiyan hummed, sincerely hoping that her mother's curse would work. But she also had a feeling that the Liang family would be extremely happy in the future.

***
In late March, spring comes and flowers bloom.

The pear tree in the yard is blooming with bright white pear blossoms.

As for when the fruit will come out? We have to wait until September.

As a specially appointed expert, Chen Tao does not have to wait that long for the new polymerizer he developed in cooperation with the Donghai Factory. It has now entered the final stage and is expected to be completed in mid-to-late April.

Liang Sisen didn't have an urgent need to make money, so she naturally helped her parents-in-law take care of the children.

Although Grandpa Liang reminded her to pay attention to the trends in the Asian capital markets, she completely ignored it.

There is no need for this.

Whatever she wants to know, she can just ask her omnipotent husband A Dream without having to go there herself.

As for whether this is a bit too dependent on my husband and not striving for progress...

Why doesn't she rely on her husband?
As long as she relies on her husband, she won't have to work late at night and will have more time to accompany her son. Isn't that good?

No one else can envy you!

Early May.

Under Chen Tao's instructions, Liang Sisen went to Hong Kong Island first and made some preparations in advance for the upcoming Asian financial crisis.

Until the end of June, she had no contact with Liang Fan and others.

And her parents would not tell her the real situation.

Since he was a child, Liang Daolin has shown Liang Sisen the image of an upright father.

Although her husband once told her that Liang Daolin might do something "unavoidable" for the Liang family, Liang Sisen still didn't quite believe it in her heart.

She is always as innocent in the book and the play.

For example, in the book, when Song Yunhui took the initiative to please Lao Xu, it made her feel resentful.

Some people may wonder, if she is so naive, why can she get along so well in Luoda? This is because Grandpa Liang not only knows Luoda's boss Gene, but also Gene's grandfather.

With this kind of relationship, she can be a top student in finance, and even a masonry major can do well!

Top students are not scarce; what is scarce are connections and capital.

In early July, Chen Tao took his daughter Xiaoyin and son Keke to Hong Kong Island to teach Miss Liang how to make money. At the end of July, they took a cruise to Europe.

Liang Fan and others have made a lot of money in the past few months. Now that Hong Kong Island has not been officially affected, the impact is not great, so they will certainly not stop.

If we wait another two and a half months, that would be fatal.

end of August.

Chen Tao and his family returned home by plane.

Xiao Yin has to go to school, and Chen Tao also has to teach and educate.

To be honest, teaching students is quite new to Chen Tao and he doesn't find it too annoying.

So he did a good job and was quite famous in the school with a very good reputation.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that he has always been chaste and never had any thoughts about cute female students.

Liang Sishen panted, "I believe everything else. But I don't believe this sentence!"

Chen Tao snorted, "How dare you disbelieve in your teacher? How dare you? I must punish you."

"Well, as a punishment, I must give you another daughter."

"Then I won't punish you."

"Hubby~ Coco said he already has a sister and wants a sister."

"You said that for Coco, right?"

"No...wait, that's annoying~"

"..."

After breakfast, Chen Tao and the little girl went to school respectively.

Liang Sishen took a nap.

It was around eleven o'clock in the morning when she was woken up by her son Coco and asked to have lunch.

After lunch, she planned to call her mother to complain about someone not wanting to have a second child, but she was unable to get through.

Her parents ran away.

But she didn't know, so she took her son out shopping.

Half an hour later, Liang Fan called her, but her phone was out of battery and turned off, so the call could not be connected.

At the same time, Chen Tao also received a call from Xun Jianxiang, but he had to attend a meeting and had no time to answer the call.

At the close of the day, the Hang Seng Index fell by more than 1,600 points.

Xiao Ran suffered a huge loss.

Li Jin took Liang Fan's money and ran away.

As a result, Liang Fan’s position was liquidated and he went bankrupt.

Yang Xun confessed without making any waves. (End of this chapter)
