Chapter 759 Acting

Chapter 759 Acting

April 10th.

Chen Tao and his two followers returned to the capital together to report to Director Lu on the investigation.

In principle, Germany is very willing to cooperate, but due to the obstacles of the embargo policy, it can only stay at intentional negotiations.

Nonetheless, this achievement cannot be considered small.

After all, when there are no political factors to consider, shopping around is the most correct choice.

"The day after tomorrow? Really?!"

Although he has not been able to get a satisfactory result on his brother's transfer, Cheng Kaiyan still feels very happy that her husband can come back after being away from home for nearly 20 days.

"Well, if everything goes well, we will return to Donghai the day after tomorrow."

Chen Tao's tone was unusually calm, as if he was not at all happy about meeting his wife.

Cheng Kaiyan was a little depressed, but he still cheered up and asked with a smile: "Xiaohui, do you miss me?"

Chen Tao hummed: "Of course I miss you and Xiaoyin."

Cheng Kaiyan pouted. The reason why she asked this question was of course because she wanted to get the answer that her husband missed her, not including her daughter.

My daughter can say something else!

But her workaholic husband obviously didn't understand what she meant.

Seeing that Cheng Kaiyan fell into silence, Chen Tao didn't have any intention to ask, so he simply said:

"That's it, I still have some things to deal with."

Cheng Kaiyan also wanted to tell her husband that she had received an advanced degree, but before she could say the word "wait", her husband had already ended the call.

She was more depressed, but relatively less uncomfortable.

The reason is simple. No matter how much she doubts her husband, she will never think that he is having an affair in the capital.

As long as there is no affair, everything is easy to talk about.

8pm.

After having dinner outside with Sui Chunfeng, Cheng Kaiyan returned home.

Not long after, she received a call from her father.

Cheng Laoden had no other intention in making this call. He just wanted to know when Chen Tao would come back.

As soon as Chen Tao comes back, he will start his own "orphan care plan".

"The day after tomorrow? I know."

Cheng Laodeng was scheming in his mind and warned:

"Kaiyan, Xiaohui has been working very hard during this period. You should be more considerate of him and take good care of him."

Cheng Kaiyan turned to his parents. If Lao Deng asks her to cooperate, then she will cooperate; if Lao Deng asks her to be considerate, then she will definitely be considerate.

But how to be considerate specifically and whether Lao Deng can achieve the effect he wants is another matter.

As for taking care of it, let’s just pull it off!

Whenever he has time, Song Yunhui does simple tasks such as housework, taking care of children, shopping and cooking.

Cheng Kaiyan is responsible for the hard work of shopping, shopping and playing mahjong.

Who takes care of whom?

Twelfth day.

After Chen Tao returned to Donghai, he immediately went to Lao Ma to hold a briefing about the inspection.

Lao Ma actually had strong objections to his decision to go abroad for inspection without discussion.

But the ministry supports it, even his backer Director Zhou supports it, so what else can he say?

He doesn't understand technology.

He still couldn't get in the middle of the second phase of the Donghai Project.

Han Zegang, who is also engaged in technology, had this to say:

"Song Factory, Germany's technology is definitely not bad, but the embargo policy should be stricter than Japan's. Can it succeed? In addition, we are short of manpower. It will be very difficult to prepare for two plans at the same time."

Chen Tao smiled and said: "Old Han, there are indeed many difficulties, but they are not as difficult or hard as everyone imagined. In fact, I am also preparing to submit a third plan. I am not afraid of not getting anything in return, and I am not afraid of paying in vain, because even now We don’t need German technology. As our development continues to accelerate in the future, we will definitely use it. We must look at the problem from a long-term perspective and cannot be limited to current technology and equipment.”

Among the five people in the entire team, he is the only two who understand technology.

Therefore, neither Ma Baoping nor Gao Xiangrong spoke.

Han Zegang didn't say anymore that he wanted to get Chen Tao's support on who was in charge of the dock.

Liu Yuhai suddenly said: "I agree with Factory Song's proposal. We will seize the time to prepare the budget."

The power to contact the German side is still within the ministry at this time, but will soon be delegated in writing to Chen Tao to make specific preparations.

For the time being, it can only be preparation.

Wait until the situation becomes clear before conducting substantive negotiations.

It is a genuine negotiation, not just an attempt to get Japan to make concessions.

After all, if there is no embargo and foreign exchange is allowed, who wouldn’t want more advanced technology and equipment?

Lao Ma wants it too!

He also wants to make further progress before retiring!

So today's briefing session was very harmonious.

Nothing else was discussed at the meeting, such as who was in charge of the pier. After all, this matter had nothing to do with today's meeting.

As for Lao Zhao and Lao Jin, they haven't made their own plans yet.

This matter cannot be rushed.

After the meeting, Chen Tao, accompanied by Fang Ping, went to the first branch to inspect and deal with various problems.

***

9:30 p.m.

Chen Tao received a call from Cheng Kaiyan in the office:

"Xiaohui, I just called my parents. I called several times but no one answered."

So fast?

The connection is great!

I just returned to Donghai, can't you let me rest for two days?

Chen Tao comforted him: "Kitten, don't worry, maybe they are at a friend's house."

"It's almost ten o'clock now, how could they not go home? Unless the three of them went to my brother's place. But I called my brother several times, but no one answered! Xiaohui, do you think something happened to Xiaoyin?"

"Don't talk nonsense, Xiaoyin is in trouble, why didn't your father and brother inform us? Don't worry, I'll be home in half an hour."

In fact, Xiaoyin really had something wrong, and was infected with mumps by her classmates.

But Cheng Laodeng didn't say it, he just wanted to wait until his granddaughter recovered from the illness, and then he would suffer from heart disease because of being too tired to take care of the child, and repay the great kindness.

So, he also knew that he didn't help his son-in-law much in his career, otherwise why would he use such a despicable trick?

At ten o'clock in the evening, Chen Tao arrived home.

When Cheng Kaiyan greeted him at the door, the phone rang.

Chen Tao didn't ask his good friend Daxun, that is, Xun Jianxiang, to visit them, so the person who called was Cheng's mother.

But the person who spoke first was Xiaoyin.

"Dad~ I miss you so much."

"Yeah, Dad misses Xiao Yin too."

Chen Tao knew it all, so he chatted and told stories to the girl, showing the warmth of a loving father and a filial daughter, and had no intention of letting her grandmother speak.

Cheng Kaiyan did not interrupt, but sat aside and listened to the conversation between the father and daughter.

Five minutes later, Cheng's mother could no longer bear it, and asked Xiao Yin to rest and talked to her son-in-law in person.

She pretended to be as real as she could be, saying that she was afraid that Chen Tao would worry, so she did not tell him that Xiao Yin was infected with mumps and stayed in the hospital for a few days.

What else could Chen Tao say? He could only turn on the speakerphone and thank her.

Then Cheng's mother said that Lao Deng had been with Xiao Yin for the past two days.

But Xiao Yin got better, but he fell ill.

At this point, her tone was obviously very worried, but she continued to tell Chen Tao not to worry too much, Lao Deng's illness was not serious.

A family of drama queens! But Chen Tao didn't care about them, the extras, he only cared about Cheng Kaiyan, the protagonist.

After Cheng's mother hung up the phone, Cheng Kaiyan's eyes dodged: "I want to go back to Jinzhou."

Chen Tao was very calm: "Let's go together!"

Cheng Kaiyan said with concern: "But you have to go to work tomorrow."

Chen Tao sneered: "Really don't want me to go back with you?"

The three courts will try Chen Shimei. If Chen Shimei is not there, how can this court be promoted?

Trial in absentia? Yes, but Chen Shimei's head can't be chopped off!

Cheng Kaiyan was stunned for a moment, his head spinning rapidly, and finally did not say that he didn't want Chen Tao to go back to Jinzhou, but continued to care:

"You have to go to work tomorrow. If you go back to Jinzhou, it will definitely delay your work."

"Pack up your things!"

After that, Chen Tao said no more and got up to go to the bathroom.

Looking at his back, Cheng Kaiyan suddenly felt that he was very unfamiliar, and couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

These days, there are not many highways.

It takes nearly 500 kilometers to go from Donghai to Jinzhou by national highway.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to arrive the next morning.

Of course, Chen Tao was not in a hurry. He was the protagonist anyway. The play would not start until he arrived.

On the way, Cheng Kaiyan tried to find some topics to talk to him, but he was very perfunctory.

Cheng Kaiyan was very angry and began to suspect that he was cheating again.

Anyway, she was not wrong. Even if she cooperated in acting to deceive her husband, she was not wrong!

It was her husband who was wrong. If he was willing to repay his kindness and help his brother-in-law, how could she cooperate?

1:30 pm.

Jinzhou, Cheng's house.

"Dad!"

When Song Yin saw Chen Tao, she immediately rushed over with a smile.

Chen Tao picked up the girl and asked with concern:

"Xiao Yin, how do you feel? Does it still hurt now?"

Song Yin shook her head, "It doesn't hurt at all."

Chen Tao smiled and walked to the sofa with her in his arms, and asked:

"Do you miss your dad? Do you want to go to your dad? Grandpa is old and should rest well. He can't take care of you."

When he said this, the mother and daughter of the Cheng family were shocked at the same time. But this is reasonable. Lao Deng fell ill in order to take care of his granddaughter. As a good son-in-law, how can he trouble him again?

Of course, there are unreasonable places.

Now, shouldn't he, as a son-in-law, care more about his father-in-law? How can he think of taking his daughter to live in Donghai?

Song Yin said happily: "I want to go! I want to accompany my parents!"

Chen Tao laughed and said: "If you want to be with your father, then your father will definitely watch you do your homework in the future. Do you want this?"

Song Yin hugged his neck and said reasonably:

"Dad works all day and has no time to watch me!"

This girl...

After the divorce, Chen Tao will not let her follow Cheng Kaiyan.

The family environment of the Cheng family is not suitable for cultivating people.

Chen Tao is not in a hurry. As long as the mother and daughter of the Cheng family are not in a hurry, he will not be in a hurry either. He continues to talk to his daughter:

"Since you know that your father is busy, shouldn't Xiao Yin be more conscious in the future?"

Song Yin hummed, leaned his little head gently on his father's shoulder, but looked at his mother and grandmother.

In the original novel, Song Yin was not close to her father for a period of time.

But in the play, even if he had to work overtime on Sundays, Song Yunhui would personally send his daughter to the Children's Palace, and the relationship between father and daughter was very good.

Chen Tao looked straight ahead and reached out to touch his daughter's cheek.

When he was in school, he also had classmates who had mumps, but he had never seen any specific symptoms, so he was a little curious.

Of course, Song Yin had recovered, and nothing could be seen.

Cheng Kaiyan asked at this time: "Mom, which hospital is my dad in? I have to go see him."

"In the factory hospital."

After that, Cheng's mother continued: "Have you eaten? Go after you are full."

"No, I can't eat now!"

Cheng Kaiyan said anxiously: "Xiaohui, let's go!"

Chen Tao smiled slightly and stood up holding his daughter.

You can still laugh?

Mother Cheng was very upset, but still persuaded: "Xiaoyin doesn't need to go?"

Chen Tao said lightly: "Grandpa is so tired of taking care of Xiaoyin that he is hospitalized. It's right to visit, right, Xiaoyin?"

Song Yin said seriously: "Well, I want to see grandpa too."

Mother Cheng no longer stopped.

After leaving the Cheng family, Chen Tao let his daughter sit in the co-pilot, and Cheng Kaiyan sat in the back seat with some gifts.

And all the way, Chen Tao has been talking to his daughter.

Factory hospital, ward 202.

When Chen Tao came in, his brother-in-law was feeding porridge to Lao Deng.

You know, he didn't arrive in the morning like in the play, it wouldn't be such a coincidence.

So after he left, Mother Cheng must have called.

It's amazing to calculate to this extent.

Cheng Kaiyan called out "Dad", then sat on the bedside, tears falling.

Cheng Qianli looked at his brother-in-law who was rising rapidly, with jealousy and hatred in his eyes.

Obviously, even if he was transferred to the purchasing department of Donghai Factory, he would not be satisfied.

In his opinion, his brother-in-law's position as the executive deputy director of Donghai Factory should also be taken by him.

Chen Tao looked at him and did not hide his contempt.

For such a self-important but incompetent waste, he should be despised, let him be incompetent and furious, and then continue to make mistakes, and finally go to the abyss.

Chen Tao never leaves any hidden dangers for himself, so doing so is actually a mercy.

After all, when he deals with problems, he often chooses to solve the people who bring problems, but now he has to be a good person and restrain himself.

Sure enough, Cheng Qianli got angry with just a look.

But the play still needs to be performed, so he can only endure it for the time being.

Lao Deng was lying on the hospital bed, smiling and comforting his crying daughter:

"Don't cry, don't cry, Dad is still strong!"

Cheng Qianli cooperated: "You are still strong even in this state? I said before that we should take turns to take care of Xiao Yin, but you just wouldn't let me. What's going on now? Just stop the work and overhaul."

Take turns to take care of Xiao Yin? Shameless.

The sentence "You really want to be a nanny for that Song" is your beastly nature.

After hearing his son's words, Lao Deng pretended to be unhappy and said: "You are the only one who talks too much!"

Cheng Kaiyan cried: "Dad, you are really something, you didn't tell me that you were sick! I won't go back, I will stay in Jinzhou to accompany you."

"It's okay, Dad is okay, cough cough~"

Lao Deng comforted and accidentally choked on his saliva.

Cheng Kaiyan quickly handed over water.

But Chen Tao was indifferent and just looked at him quietly.

There is no way, Chen Tao is still holding the little girl in his hand!

You can't be like a fisherman, once you catch a fish, throw the child aside and take the fishing rod, right?

Of course, this behavior was a little unusual in Lao Deng's eyes.

But there was nothing he could do.

The foreplay was over, and no matter whether Chen Tao, the son-in-law, cooperated or not, he had to serve the prepared dinner. So he made an excuse that he had something to say to Chen Tao and asked his son and daughter to leave the ward first.

Of course, his granddaughter had to leave as well. (End of this chapter)
