Chapter 755: The Cat That Can't Be Tamed (Big Rivers and Flowing Rivers)

Chapter 755: The Cat That Can't Be Tamed (Big Rivers and Flowing Rivers)

Spring of 1991.

Donghai Chemical Plant Project Planning Office and Infrastructure Engineering Office, Deputy Director's Office.

Chen Tao raised his head and glanced at the gray sky outside the window, and couldn't help showing an awkward look on his face.

He traveled through time again, and the current world evolved from the TV series "The Great River".

And he became the male protagonist Song Yunhui.

Unlike Song Yunhui in the original novel "The Great River Goes East", he in the TV version can be called a great idealist.

But the problem lies here.

Chen Tao knows very well that he is a person with many shortcomings. But the system task is to let him make an exception once, to be a model figure like Song Yunhui, and even do better than him?

'Okay, being a serious person and doing some serious work is actually not bad. '

Chen Tao thought so and began to adjust his mood.

A bird flew quietly, and the red phone on the table rang.

Chen Tao reached out to take it, and heard a sweet female voice saying, "Hello, is this Mr. Song Yunhui?"

Chen Tao smiled and said, "No, you dialed the wrong number."

After making dinner, Cheng Kaiyan used the phone that the master had just installed to call her husband. When she heard Chen Tao say this, she immediately scolded him:

"No, you are Xiaohui, why did you lie to me?"

If Chen Tao's tone of voice was not a joke, but a serious tone, Cheng Kaiyan would definitely suspect that he had changed his mind again.

This cheap wife, except for not being on her husband's side and other shortcomings that are not listed for the time being, is still good.

Chen Tao said seriously, "Kitten, what's the matter?"

Kitten is Cheng Kaiyan's nickname.

Unfortunately, she is no longer a lovable kitten, but an old cat that can't be tamed.

Cheng Kaiyan asked, "Why haven't you left work yet? Are you busy today?"

It was 5:30 in the afternoon, and there was no meeting to be held in the factory, so it was indeed time to leave work.

But Chen Tao didn't want to go back.

He apologized, "I still have some work to do, and I probably won't be home until eight or nine o'clock. You eat first, don't wait for me."

Song Yunhui is a workaholic. Before he transferred his wife to Donghai, he could even live in the factory without going home.

His personality is to dare to fight and rush forward, and he is a good material for being a pioneer.

And he is very capable, which can be called the ceiling.

Therefore, he has won the favor of many big guys, who are willing to send him good wind, so that he can rise to the top at a young age.

What level is Donghai Factory? He is already the executive deputy director and the second in command. And he is only 32 years old this year!

Cheng Kaiyan heard this and said depressedly, "Then you go ahead, bye."

As expected, the kitten will deliver the food and then mention the calculations of her parents, brothers and sisters-in-law.

And Chen Tao is not Song Yunhui, he doesn't have so much patience.

Since Cheng Kaiyan is not suitable, he will not force himself or try to transform the other party with great effort.

Moreover, once a person's thoughts are deeply rooted, it is difficult to change.

Cheng Kaiyan felt that it was natural for her husband to help her family unconditionally, after all, it was her father who helped him back then!

But as Song Yunhui said, his achievements today were not the result of the Cheng family's petty tricks.

He relied on his parents, his good sister who unfortunately passed away, and his hard work and study day and night, rather than being an unlearned and unskilled person who enjoyed the fruits of others' labor.

It was the Cheng family that needed the help of his capable son-in-law, not that he needed the Cheng family as a platform to realize his personal value.

This cause and effect relationship cannot be reversed.

Dong Dong Dong ~

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Chen Tao pushed his glasses, then picked up the pen and said calmly.

The secretary walked straight to him with a document and introduced:

"Song Factory, this is the Japanese chemical information compilation for the past year that you want."

"Put it here!"

Chen Tao nodded: "If you have nothing to do, you can also leave work early, and you don't have to stay here with me."

The secretary said "OK" and turned to leave.

After he closed the door, Chen Tao leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and digested Song Yunhui's knowledge.

If it is related to drugs, although Chen Tao doesn't know much, he can easily come up with one or two special medicines that will only be available in the future with his complete memory ability.

But this is the petrochemical industry, and there are related technical equipment and engineering knowledge. Chen Tao really doesn't know much and needs to learn.

After he sorted out and mastered all of Song Yunhui's knowledge like sleeping, it was already six o'clock.

Cheng Kaiyan opened the door of the office with a thermos lunch box.

She is pretty, and she doesn't look like Ye Xiaolang, played by the same actor in "Children of the Qiao Family", but both of them are very selfish.

Don't say Cheng Kaiyan is not selfish. Saying love is not enough to prove how much she loves Song Yunhui.

Cheng Kaiyan can't learn Japanese, can't pass the accounting exam, and has no willingness and ability to improve with her husband. These are nothing. Being a housewife and accompanying her husband is not bad. Someone has to do the logistics work!

She doesn't even need to lead the wives' circle. After all, she is too stupid and can only be played by others.

But she helped her parents and tried to control Song Yunhui, so that her promising husband could open various backdoors.

She is like that... like Li Dakang's wife, unscrupulous, thinking that since she has power, she should use it, without considering how badly it will affect her husband if something happens to her.

Isn't this selfish?

Be a little more obedient, be a little more alert, rationally reject the excessive demands of her family, care more about her husband, instead of flattering and pestering with a purpose, is it so difficult?

Difficult.

For a person who doesn't use her brain and whose emotions completely overwhelm her rationality, it is really difficult to ask her to understand these things.

Isn't it just asking you to help your brother-in-law get a lucrative job in the procurement department? Since you have the ability, what's wrong with helping? Don't talk to me about reason, helping is what I should do.

If you don't help, you don't love me, you are ungrateful, and you are an ungrateful person!

Song Yunhui refused to help, and this thing and her parents hated him and wanted to make trouble.

Some people say that she is a naive person and is used by her parents.

But the word "silly and sweet" in Chen Tao's words means either stupid or bad, or both.

Since she is a silly and sweet girl, why is she only used by her parents, brother and sister-in-law, but refuses to listen to her husband, respect and understand his decision?

Selective stupidity, right?

***

Chen Tao moved the documents away and said to Cheng Kaiyan:

"Kitty, why are you here? It's so cold outside, don't come to deliver food, I'll just eat in the cafeteria."

Cheng Kaiyan sat down beside him, took out the lunch box, and smiled:

"It will be inconvenient for me to deliver it to you when I go to work in the future, so I will come to deliver it to you once today, and I can also see your working environment by the way!"

Chen Tao nodded, then looked at her fingers, and said strangely:

"Why did you cut your nails? I was thinking of going to the department store in the city to buy you a bottle of imported nail polish!"

Sometimes, thinking about buying = I have already bought it.

For example, now, Cheng Kaiyan said with a touching face: "Xiaohui, thank you~"

"We still need to thank each other? It's only natural for a husband to give his wife a gift!"

Chen Tao's words made Cheng Kaiyan very happy.

Since it's only natural for a husband to give his wife a gift.

Then it's only natural for a husband to give her brother a lucrative job for her sake?

When Chen Tao brought the chicken soup, Cheng Kaiyan said with emotion:

"Xiaohui, I miss Xiaoyin."

After coming to this world, Chen Tao still loves to be a father. This Xiaoyin is his cheap daughter.

Chen Tao knew very well that Cheng Kaiyan's missing her daughter was just an excuse, so he comforted her:

"I'll go back with you to see her when I'm free in a few days."

Pretending to be stupid, who can't do that?

When Cheng Kaiyan heard this, she immediately stopped smiling.

She used her daughter as an introduction, which was not stupid at all. But she really didn't have the patience to beat around the bush with her husband, so she said directly:

"This is what I think. If Xiaoyin can come to Donghai, my parents and my brother can also come here, so that our family can be together, how happy it would be? Xiaohui, don't you think so?"

The focus of her words was actually her brother.

She hoped that her husband, who was now the second in command, could transfer her brother here and give him a good job.

Yes, this request was not only her parents' request, but she also took it for granted.

She just thought it was nothing.

Otherwise, how could she easily accept a bracelet worth more than 6,000 yuan from others later?

Chen Tao smiled, and did not learn from Song Yunhui's high emotional intelligence to directly point out that his brother-in-law was going to work in Donghai, but agreed:

"It's really happy to be together as a family. Speaking of which, I miss my parents too. When I have time, I must go back to see them."

Didn't the Cheng family think that it was natural for their son-in-law to help? Then Chen Tao had to let them know clearly that asking for help should be done in a begging manner.

Otherwise, if you say that, I will help you. In your eyes, it is my duty to help you, and if I don't help, it will be my fault.

This kind of stupid thing is not done by a wise man!

Cheng Kaiyan saw that her husband didn't understand what she meant, and she didn't know what to say.

After thinking for a while, she couldn't help but said:

"Do you know that my brother has some problems at work? The leader of the new workshop always bullies my brother, and he is particularly snobbish! He saw that you came to Donghai and my father retired, so he started to find fault with my brother and instigated the whole workshop to target my brother. He is really hateful!"

As she spoke, her voice became louder.

Chen Tao didn't interrupt her, just listened to her slandering others behind her back.

After another twenty seconds, Cheng Kaiyan finally reacted and laughed awkwardly:

"Xiaohui~ Do you think this person is very annoying?"

Chen Tao said seriously: "I don't know much about this person, so it's hard to make a conclusion. But I think that since we are working together, it is better to unite colleagues, cultivate tacit understanding, focus on resolving conflicts, be patient, sit still, stand straight, and walk steadily. Only in this way, everyone will be willing to follow you."

Cheng Kaiyan was confused and speechless for a while.

Chen Tao laughed and took a sip of the soup bowl.

He is not a picky eater, but after all, he has superb cooking skills and a certain bottom line.

So he will never drink Cheng Kaiyan's chicken soup again.

When Cheng Kaiyan was struggling whether to show his cards directly, he saw Chen Tao put down the soup bowl and asked with a smile:

"How does this soup taste? I made it for a long time."

Chen Taorui commented: "Except for some chicken smell and a little salty taste, everything else is pretty good."

Spoon soup with plain hands and then ask for benefits?

Do you have the nerve to make such a bad soup?

Cheng Kaiyan's face looked a little ugly.

Even if the soup is poorly cooked, I still have what I want! How ungrateful! He must have changed his mind!

While she was sulking, she ignored her father's instructions and confessed:

"Xiaohui, please help my brother."

Chen Tao agreed: "Okay, when I go back to see Xiao Yin, I will stop by to visit Lao Min and understand the specific situation with him."

Old Min, also known as Min Zhongsheng, was the "factory son-in-law" like Song Yunhui, and both were apprentices of the former secretary of the Jinzhou Factory.

He is also very capable.

But the difference is that his brother-in-law is a director. He has no confidence to resist his father-in-law's family, and he is even abused by his wife.

But Song Yunhui's brother-in-law, Cheng Qianli, was a pure waste and could not restrain Song Yunhui at all.

Although Song and Min had their disagreements, they were not that serious.

When preparing for the Donghai Factory, Song Yunhui called Min Zhongsheng, and then through his brother-in-law, he found Deputy Director Lu who had "a glorious journey". Only then did he have the opportunity to build the Donghai Factory.

It is worth mentioning that the reason why Min Zhongsheng was willing to help was only because he was worried that if the Donghai Factory failed, Song Yunhui would return to the Jinzhou Factory to snatch his seat. It was not simply out of the friendship of being the "son-in-law of the factory".

After hearing that her husband only said that he wanted to find out the situation from Min Zhongsheng, and did not even say that if the situation was true, he would decisively help his uncle, Cheng Kaiyan finally couldn't help but ask directly:

"Why are you taking so much trouble? Why don't you just transfer my brother over here!"

Chen Tao said seriously: "Is this a matter of job transfer? Can changing his factory cover up his shortcomings in work ability? What he has to do first is to work hard to improve himself."

Cheng Kaiyan said dissatisfied: "My brother is not good at work, so why don't you just find him a relaxed position? My dad said that everyone in Donghai Factory now listens to you, so what can you do if you transfer my brother here?" "

Chen Tao put down his job and said in a tactful but firm manner:

"Donghai listens to me? How can I be so capable? When Donghai really listens to me, I will consider transferring your brother here..."

Song Yunhui was worried about his wife and was willing to patiently analyze it for her.

And what about Chen Tao?

Just use the "drag" tactic!

You say I have this ability, but I say I don’t. How can you know your own abilities better than me?

I just can't do it, what can you do?

Find other leaders of Donghai Factory to prove that I have this ability?

Silly man, who will care about you!

It's okay to make some sarcastic remarks, such as the son-in-law biting the master or becoming Chen Shimei to harm Chen Tao's reputation.

But if they were really asked to sign and install their own cronies for Chen Tao, who would do such a stupid thing?

Cheng Kaiyan stood up and said, "Are you really unwilling to do this?"

Chen Tao packed up the lunch box and handed it to her.

Cheng Kaiyan didn't take it and turned around angrily to leave.

The door slams loudly. (End of chapter)
