Chapter 764: Save what you should save, spend what you should spend

Chapter 764: Save what you should save, spend what you should spend

July 14, Sunday.

Chen Tao was at the research institute in the morning and at the factory cafeteria at noon, accompanying Lao Ma for socializing.

Although the rules on drunk driving are more relaxed these days, Chen Tao still asked his secretary to take him back to the city and discussed some issues on the way.

This is necessary. Chen Tao and Song Yunhui have different working styles, so the secretary must constantly adapt to him.

After arriving home, Chen Tao went to the bathroom to take a shower first, and then went to the bedroom for a nap.

Xiao Yin also developed a habit and fell asleep at this time.

Cheng Kaiyan was accompanying him, but she was not asleep yet.

After Chen Tao lay down, she lowered her voice and said, "Xiaohui, my brother's debts have been paid off, but the goods are still on hand."

Lao Deng is in a mess.

Employees look down on him, and his former colleagues don't help him.

Otherwise, those cement and steel bars certainly require relationships to buy and sell, but with his status, why would they be on his hands? In the end, Yang Xun had to find a way for his son?

People leave and the tea gets cold.

His tea gets cold too quickly!

Chen Tao said coldly: "The person in charge of the dock has changed. I can't help your brother."

Cheng Kaiyan frowned: "I just told you a little bit, so as not to be wronged by you again. I deliberately concealed these things and didn't ask you to help."

"That's good. After this lesson, your brother should be able to understand what kind of material he is, and he can make your father worry less in the future."

"You, your words are too harsh."

"Good medicine tastes bitter, and honest advice is unpleasant to the ears."

"Humph, you just look down on him."

"Hehe, tell me with your conscience, does he look down on me? In your eyes, I am a rural I am a country bumpkin who came here and climbed up the high branch of your family. If there were no me, your family would have found a son-in-law like Min Zhongsheng who obeys everything, instead of an ungrateful person like me, right? "

"..."

"You think too much! Min Zhongsheng's elder brother-in-law is Director Li, what is your brother's chief?"

"Woo woo~Looking down on my brother, actually means disliking me."

"Go outside if you want to cry, don't disturb Xiaoyin and I from taking a nap."

After saying this sentence that was enough to intensify the family conflict, Chen Tao covered his eyes with his daughter's straw hat as an eye mask.

"..."

Looking at the straw hat, thinking that the father and daughter went to Beijing to play, not only did they not bring themselves, but they didn't even tell themselves in advance, Cheng Kaiyan's heart was like a vinegar jar overturned, almost sour to death.

It's okay for the husband to change his mind, but why is the little girl also partial!

Cheng Kaiyan feels that her daughter's weight in her husband's heart is much more important than hers.

This is normal.

Putting aside other things, the little girl is pure-minded and won't play tricks like her mother. It's not surprising that Chen Tao is more willing to accompany this girl.

As for Cheng Kaiyan, she is also simple and won't play tricks...

People will grow up, and we can't look at them with a mechanical eye.

Why did she come here today and mention her brother's situation?

If it were the previous Song Yunhui, as long as she mentioned it, she would be very conscious to think of a way for his brother, but Chen Tao wouldn't.

After waking up from a nap, Chen Tao taught the little girl to read, speak and write, and Cheng Kaiyan went to the kitchen to help her mother-in-law who started to prepare dinner.

Song Jishan went out to buy beer, and after buying it, he could put it in the refrigerator to cool it down. It was very refreshing to drink on this hot day.

In fact, since May, there have been heavy rains in his hometown, and today there has been a serious flood disaster.

Since the two elders can come to Donghai, Chen Tao naturally doesn't have to worry about them.

At the dinner table, the family is happy.

He didn't go back that night, but with his daughter sleeping in the middle, Chen Tao didn't have to have intimate communication with Cheng Kaiyan.

The little girl broke free from her mother's restraints and threw herself into her father's arms, saying innocently:

"Dad, I can't sleep, and I want to hear a story."

Chen Tao asked with a smile: "Where did we talk about last time?"

The little girl thought about it and asked uncertainly: "Is it Princess Vanessa's three fights with the catfish spirit?"

"Yes, okay, let's continue. After Princess Vanessa returned to the palace, she became more and more angry: the catfish spirit was a demon, and it dared to transform into a human form, confuse her dearest brother, and not allow him to play with his sister. It was really annoying! Princess Vanessa secretly made up her mind to find a way to expose the catfish spirit to prevent her brother from being hurt, so she..."

In other words, Chen Tao could copy fairy tales from later generations and make a lot of money to save for his retirement in the future.

This is not against the rules!

The reason was very sufficient. These were all stories he told his daughter after work, not like some electrician who was slacking off and writing during work.

And in this way, Chen Tao could avoid having to eat his female students' money in the future...

Well, Liang Sisen called him last Thursday and said that she tried to trade stocks according to his advice and made 40,000 US dollars. She wanted to open an account for him and give him half of it.

Chen Tao decisively refused. He was as clear as water and as bright as a mirror. He was incorruptible and upright. How could he buy huge assets overseas?

Liang Sisen didn't force it. Anyway, the master and apprentice should settle accounts clearly. She said that she would always save it for him.

As a result, Chen Tao didn't let her save it, but let her continue to speculate. He even analyzed the current situation for her, pointed out the direction, and set goals...

That is, by the beginning of next summer, the master and apprentice's common treasury must reach at least 10 million US dollars.

Liang Sisen heard this and first thought that the teacher was very conceited and thought securities investment was too simple.

Then she became curious again. Wasn’t the teacher a chemical engineer? How come he knew financial knowledge that even a professional like her didn’t understand?

After listening to the teacher's nonsense in the name of explanation, she was filled with admiration.

He is indeed Mr. Song, who she has been thinking about for twelve years!

Of course, she still holds a conservative opinion on the goal of earning 10 million yuan.

Her entire net worth is actually several million US dollars, otherwise she would not be able to cooperate with Yang Xun to open a shopping mall.

But if she wants to earn another 10 million, even if she invests her entire net worth, she has to work hard to achieve nearly double the return, how difficult is that!

It is very good to earn 30% a year!

But it is not difficult for Chen Tao, and he can definitely achieve it.

Chen Tao plans to use the 10 million yuan in revenue for the second phase of Donghai.

There are two options at that time. One is to use foreign debt to make up for the funding gap and simply purchase technical equipment; the other is to form a joint venture and conduct in-depth cooperation with those advanced manufacturers. It is up to Lu Si and others to choose.

The interest income of foreign debt is far less than the speculative income.

From this point of view, is Chen Tao loyal to his ideal? He is so loyal!

"Hoo-hoo~"

Cheng Kaiyan slept soundly in the rhythmic voice of Chen Tao telling stories.

The little girl was still listening intently, and felt that her mother's snoring was too noisy, so she simply stretched out her hand to twist her face, woke her up, and asked her to continue to accompany her.

"..."

Being bullied by the little girl again, Cheng Kaiyan felt very uncomfortable and did not sleep well all night.

***

It was October in a blink of an eye, and the weather turned cold rapidly.

Chen Tao also put on a work jacket to cover up his good figure that many people discussed privately.

Some old women even dared to envy Cheng Kaiyan outright, thinking that she should eat at least once a day.

After all, during this period of time, Donghai has been on the right track, and the second phase is not in a hurry. It is not as busy as before, and Director Song can go home early to accompany his wife.

But what is the fact? Director Song is still very busy. There is not much work, but there are many social events!

In his case, it is normal for him not to go home for 300 days out of 365 days a year.

Cheng Kaiyan wanted to accompany her daughter as soon as she got home, but she had no chance.

This morning.

After the factory meeting, Han Zegang came to Chen Tao's office with a dark face and heavy steps, almost writing the word unhappy on his face.

He said depressedly: "Song Chang, do you really think that Engineer Feng is suitable for the warehousing and docks? She is only in her early thirties, and I don't think she has such great ability as you."

He still doesn't know that it was Chen Tao who suggested Lao Ma to let the department transfer people instead of his Lao Zhao.

Lao Ma won't tell him, otherwise will Chen Tao suggest it next time? The relationship between the two is not so tense now, and they have reached cooperation and understanding implicitly. There is no need to rashly destroy this relationship.

Liu Yuhai won't say it either.

As for Gao Xiangrong, who was suspected of writing a letter to denounce Song Yunhui and selling national interests to the United States represented by Liang Sishen in the original plot, he didn't know about it either.

Therefore, Han Zegang thought it was Lao Ma who was causing trouble.

In the original plot, it was Song Yunhui who pushed this matter, and Lao Han hated him and went to Lao Ma to complain.

Lao Ma took advantage of the situation and let him, who was no longer responsible for the dock and warehousing, to intervene in the second phase project.

But now, Chen Tao can also let him participate in the second phase research.

Chen Tao advised: "Old Han, you can't judge a person by his appearance. Since the department recommended Engineer Feng to come to our Donghai, it must be because she is very capable. In the past three months, she has not only become familiar with the work of the dock, but also established a cooperative relationship with the Port Authority. No one in the factory has a negative view of her. Doesn't this mean that she is the most suitable candidate?"

Old Han said aggrievedly: "Old Zhao can do these things, and can do better than her! I have always been in charge of warehousing and docks. Now that she has come, she has been promoted to the branch level. What should I do? Can I retire? Old Ma is not authentic!"

Chen Tao laughed: "Don't say that, Old Ma is also considering the long-term interests of Donghai, we should understand. You said you have nothing to do, so are you not going to take care of the second phase of the project?"

Hearing this, Han Zegang seemed to know him again and complained: "Technically Director Song is in charge. Do I need to take care of it?"

"There are currently two proposals from Japan and Germany, and there may be proposals from France and the United States in the future. How can I be responsible for it alone?"

"Director Song, I don't understand why you want to spread the stall so big?"

"There is no way. As the saying goes, a good cook cannot cook without rice. Our budget is limited. We can only choose the most favorable one for us by comparing prices. Let me tell you, the most important thing for the second phase is not only the project itself, but also to pilot the introduction of technology for the department. If we do a good job, you may not be able to be idle in the future."

After hearing this, Han Zegang felt much better. He put down the red thermos cup and sighed in a low voice:

"Alas, Director Song, it would be great if you could be the top leader."

Chen Tao smiled and did not respond.

Han Zegang also knew that what he said was a bit inappropriate, so he stood up and said goodbye.

On Sunday, the Children's Palace...didn't go.

Chen Tao would not send his daughter to learn piano.

In this way, naturally, she would not encounter Dr. Tao who was beaten and slandered by Cheng Kaiyan in public in the future.

Dr. Tao is innocent, Chen Tao will not burn her.

And Engineer Feng is the same.

As for whether the loss of the two of them will affect Cheng Kaiyan's divorce?

No.

Liang Sishen is the big boss.

Ever since she learned that Liang Sishen and her teacher Song were thousands of miles apart, they would still contact each other when they were free, Cheng Kaiyan has never been able to let it go.

She certainly felt that Dr. Tao and Engineer Feng were suspicious.

But compared with Liang Sishen, they were nothing.

She collapsed and beat Dr. Tao to vent her dissatisfaction.

She had no way to vent this dissatisfaction to her excellent husband, Liang Sishen, who was so excellent that she felt inferior.

It can be said that Dr. Tao was beaten for Liang Sishen.

Therefore, as long as Liang Sishen appeared beside Chen Tao and Chen Tao did not agree to send her back to the United States, Cheng Kaiyan and the Cheng family would inevitably make trouble, and after the trouble failed, there would be no other choice except divorce.

If there was, Chen Tao would have to learn from Song Yunhui in the book and find someone to dig a pit for his brother-in-law to jump into and force the Cheng family to submit.

This should also be considered a choice made in desperation to fulfill his ideals, and it did not violate the mission requirements.

In the living room.

Chen Tao leaned against the sofa and watched his daughter scribbling on paper.

The girl is still young. Although she has some talent, it is not very high. There is no need for her to go this way.

Scribbling is purely to kill time.

After all, it is raining today, so it is not very convenient to go out and play.

After drawing for a while, the little girl held up her masterpiece and showed it to Chen Tao.

Chen Tao held her in his arms and asked with the drawing paper: "Who is this drawing?"

The little girl smiled and said: "It's Dad!"

Chen Tao said with some disdain: "Not at all! Dad is a handsome guy, and the person you drew looks like a monster."

"Hehehe~ But I drew it according to you!"

"In that case, Dad will also draw it according to you. If it is ugly, you are not allowed to dislike it!"

"No, Xiao Yin doesn't want to be drawn by Dad!"

"Humph, you can't say no, you watch it carefully!"

When Chen Tao was halfway through drawing the sketch for his daughter, the phone rang.

It was Xun Jianxiang calling.

Tonight, Yang Xun made an appointment with Director Gao of the Land Bureau for dinner, and wanted to get a piece of land to build a wholesale market.

After listening to Xun Jianxiang's words, Chen Tao smiled and said, "Da Xun, don't persuade him. If he wants to borrow my name, let him borrow it! Her mother is very good to me, and I still have to repay the favor."

What kind of personality is Yang Xun? He is always looking for the mountain to be higher, and he is very gambling.

Now he wants this piece of land, and when he meets the second generation Xiao Ran, he will give up this piece of land.

At that time, he will have to ask Chen Tao to greet Director Gao.

Once this greeting is given, the favor can be repaid.

Chen Tao has no interest in cleaning up his ass all the time.

And Lei Dongbao, Chen Tao is not very willing to deal with him.

Mainly, it's useless to say it.

Since Song Yunping died, no one can persuade him.

"Well, I know, contact me if there is any situation."

After Xun Jianxiang hung up the phone, he bought another pack of cigarettes and returned to the simple bungalow rented by Yang Xun.

Go to the bar by bike, save what you should save and spend what you should spend.

If you save more from your mother, you can live in a suite worth more than 1,000 yuan in Shanghai and pursue Liang Sisen. (End of this chapter)
