Rebirth of the Great Era 1993

This was Zhang Xuan's first visit to Tao Xian's home in Yangcheng.

The door was opened by Tao Ge's mother. Although she had never met Zhang Xuan, she clearly recognized him and said kindly, "March is here."

Zhang Xuan squeezed a smile and shouted: "Auntie, I took the liberty to come to the door to disturb you."

"What's the matter? It's windy outside. Come in and sit down first." Mother Tao said and brought him a new pair of cotton slippers.

After changing his shoes, Zhang Xuan followed him into the living room.

He found that the house was a bit old, the decoration was ordinary, the tables, chairs and benches were ordinary, and even the sofas were old fabric sofas.

However, Zhang Xuan was not surprised. For a person in a high position like Tao Xian, if he still pursues luxury, he will fall behind.

Simple and natural, it is in line with a person's identity and temperament.

Tao's mother poured a cup of hot tea for Zhang Xuan, and Zhang Luo said, "Her father is cooking the last dish in the kitchen. It will be ready soon. You sit down and rest for a while."

Zhang Xuan took the tea with both hands and said thank you very politely.

Tao Ge knew what kind of person he was, so he patted his side with his hand and motioned for Zhang Xuan to sit over.

Seeing Tao's mother go to the kitchen, Zhang Xuan sat down and asked, "Does your dad often cook?"

Tao Ge said: "Fortunately, he doesn't have many hobbies. Drinking tea and cooking are how he often spends time with my mother."

Zhang Xuanyi said: "I can see that your parents are very loving."

Tao Ge teased in a low voice: "Sister, I can see that you and your three wives are very loving."

Zhang Xuan rolled his eyes, feeling much better after hearing her interruption.

After sitting in the living room for about five minutes, Tao Xian came out with a plate of romaine lettuce.

The dinner was quite sumptuous, with four dishes and one soup.

What's commendable is that there is also spicy fried pork on the table, a typical southern Hunan specialty, which makes Zhang Xuan flattered.

Tao Xian took out a bottle of Moutai and said, "Come on, it's rare to relax today. Let's have a few sips."

The old man Zhang Xuan would not be polite when the big boss asked him to drink. Apart from the fact that he was asking for help, his own seat was enough, so he sat on it without any fear of stage fright.

Tao Mu talks less and treats people more with a smile.

In the first half, the four of them were chatting about home affairs and drinking some wine.

In the middle of the conversation, the topic of "wind-up girl" came up again.

Regarding literature and art, Mrs. Tao changed her previous reticence and asked a few more questions.

For example, I curiously asked Zhang Xuan why he took risks to write science fiction novels after becoming famous?

Zhang Xuan thought for a while and replied: "When I was a child, I often wondered why it was difficult for Chinese literati to stand out internationally.

When I grew up, I realized that it was cultural reasons.

So I decided to take a different approach and use science fiction to conquer the city. If possible, it would also be great to earn some dollars and pounds to build Yingtai Plaza. "

Tao's mother glanced at Tao Ge, who had not made much progress in the UK for two months, and couldn't help but ask: "Do you think the West can accept the culture you write?"

Zhang Xuan stopped his chopsticks and said seriously and humbly: "I may succeed or I may fail, but I think I should take this step."

Tao's mother looked at her daughter again, smiled and said nothing.

Tao Xian clinked a drink with him and then asked, "I heard that your landmark building design will be released soon?"

Zhang Xuan responded: "Well, it's really fast."

Tao Ge interrupted and asked, "What does it look like? What's the budget?"

Zhang Xuan said: “It is composed of three 57-story buildings with a super large open-air swimming pool above.

Currently, two are planned to be Grade A office buildings and one is a five-star hotel.

As for the budget, it is still being calculated and has not been released yet. "

Tao Ge was shocked: "Three 57-story buildings?"

Zhang Xuan said: "Yes, three 57-meter buildings."

Tao Ge was a little in disbelief, and after a moment he said, "Although I haven't seen the renderings yet.

But you can imagine that if it is really built, let alone Yangcheng, this landmark building will be famous throughout East Asia, but the budget may exceed your expectations, right? "

When it comes to the budget, the old man feels extremely depressed, but his words are like water thrown out and cannot be taken back.

And he also understood that Tao Xian was testing his determination to build a CBD just now.

So I had no choice but to continue to support: "The speed can be slower, but if you want to build something unique, build the best one."

Tao Ge picked up the cup and said, "Come, sister, I'll have a drink with you. I wish you all your wishes will come true."

"I'll lend you some good advice." Zhang Xuan met her.

After the two of them finished drinking and eating a few chopstick dishes, Tao Xian finally asked the topic: "What do you think of the incident in the West Tower?"

The wait is now.

Faced with this problem, Zhang Xuan had already weighed it in his mind and could not express his anger.

Anyway, everyone is smart and discerning. The most important thing is to gain enough favor by retreating.

Zhang Xuan said: "Actually, this kind of thing is not uncommon in the business field. Although I have only been in business for a short time, I have heard about it occasionally.

My original intention is to seek development, and hope to have a stable environment to build a world-class CBD. Of course, peace is the most important thing.

I hope I can have a frank talk with the other party, and maybe we can become friends even if we don’t know each other without fighting. "

Tao Xian nodded slightly, approving this method. However, he still did not make any verbal statement, and just drank a small drink with Zhang Xuan with a smile.

After dinner, Zhang Xuan chatted with the family of three for a while, and finally said goodbye on the grounds that it was getting late.

Tao Xian was very accommodating and walked him to the door personally and asked the driver to take Zhang Xuan back to No. 228 Tianhe Road.

On the way.

Zhang Xuan sat in the back seat, looking at the busy traffic outside, but in his heart he was reviewing everything he said and did at the dinner table.

Not just what you say and do.

There are also the words and deeds of Tao Ge's family of three.

In the end, he came to the conclusion: Although Tao Xian didn't express anything, being able to ask about the West Tower incident, being able to see him out in person, and being able to take someone's car back now is the best way to express his stance.

With his thoughts at this point, the old man glanced at the driver in front of him, took a breath quietly, and finally relaxed.

Just when Zhang Xuan felt relaxed.

On the other side, Sun Jian, the owner of the mall next door, was angrily scolding his son Sun Cheng.

In the evening, Sun Jian received a report from his subordinates that Zhang Xuan had been picked up by someone sent by King Silver Horn.

He said he was going to eat, and Tao Xian personally cooked for him.

When he learned the news, Sun Jian's face turned pale with anger and he was in a panic.

Just an hour ago, his subordinates told him that the 12 people who went to cause sabotage that night were all invited to drink tea.

12 people, no one left behind!

Just now, his subordinates told him that the police station had intensified its efforts to open cases and investigate.

One by one, one by one...

What happened one after another was telling him the truth: he had hit a brick wall!

I kicked the red-hot iron plate!

At this moment, Sun Jian was very angry and irritable. He would scold his only son when he called him back.

When he got carried away with the scolding, he even smashed two pieces of porcelain to make a loud noise.
