Chapter 783: Stop pretending
Early April, Xiaolei’s house.
Lei Dongbao was extremely happy about Chen Tao's arrival.
Therefore, even though he was busy with the upcoming Spring Festival, he still took time to call Wei Chunhong and treat Chen Tao and Liang Sishen to a meal.
During the meal, he didn't mention Chen Tao's divorce at all. He only praised Liang Sishen and urged the two to get married.
Liang Sishen was very happy to hear this and said that she could provide some help in foreign trade if necessary.
Lei Dongbao became happier and happier. Even if Chen Tao drank less, he drank very happily by himself.
After a long separation, it was rare that his brother-in-law and he didn't quarrel. This was more satisfying to him than making a lot of money.
In fact, Song Yunhui's criticism of him was really for his own good. It was the same as when he explained the policy to him.
It's a pity that this "Thunder Tiger" has always been stubborn and thinks that I am the best and you all have to be obedient.
Only Lao Xu can give me some advice.
Lao Xu has now advanced to become the governor of a neighboring province. He came here for research before, and even came to Xiao Lei's house to visit Lei Dongbao, giving him guidance on foreign trade and giving him a platform.
When Chen Tao came here this time, he actually went to congratulate Lao Xu first, and then stopped by to take a look.
But his persuasion was useless.
It's not because he is a junior official, but because Lei Dongbao thinks that his brother-in-law should support and follow him, otherwise he has objections to him because of his sister Song Yunping's accident.
Even if Song Yunhui explained that he had no such intention, Lei Dongbao would not believe it.
He had troubles in his heart, and he couldn't get over it.
There's nothing we can do about it.
After meal.
Because there was not enough time, Chen Tao did not go to Xiaolei's cable factory. He spent the night with Liang Sishen at a small hotel in the town arranged by Wei Chunhong, and then drove back to Donghai early the next morning.
Lei Dongbao specially gave it to him again.
Wei Chunhong was a little jealous because she could feel that Song Yunping was the most important thing in her husband's heart.
There's nothing to say about this. As long as Sister-in-law Song is still here, naturally nothing will happen to her Sister-in-law Wei.
As for the later mistress Feng Xinxin, she was too good at playing cards.
Not only does she look like Song Yunping, but she is also pregnant with a child, and she can even lose. Can you play?
As the same saying goes, in those big eyes as small as a pinpoint, there are only profit calculations and no consideration for men.
Lei Dongbao dared not trust her and would rather leave the economic power to Wei Chunhong. In this case, it's strange that she can take the lead.
She is very domineering, spoiled, and likes to listen to her best friends, trying to control and set rules for Lei Dongbao.
This shows that she didn't even try to understand Lei Dongbao, otherwise she would dare to do this?
Lei Hu is not Song Yunhui, he has a very tough personality. Of course he wants a child, but are you the only woman who can give birth to him? Since I can fuck you, I can fuck others, and you still want to hold me hostage?
Having said that, Feng Xinxin and Cheng Kaiyan are indeed similar in that they both listen to their parents' family.
And both of them had troubles because of a woman.
This woman is none other than Miss Liang.
It was precisely because Lei Dongbao took Ms. Liang for a "ride" on a tricycle that Feng Xinxin's cousin saw and misunderstood that the accumulated conflicts broke out.
It can be seen that Miss Liang has the potential to be a beauty.
Teacher Chen must build a dam to prevent her from going out and causing harm to others.
In the early morning of April 17th, after Chen Tao completed the construction, he was preparing to take a nap with Huoshui in his arms and return to his cage.
Suddenly the phone rang, and it was Lei Dongbao calling with good news, saying that although they were unable to go to the Spring Fair, they still reached a US$10 million deal with foreigners at the nearby Egret Hotel.
This hanger was opened for him...
Chen Tao expressed congratulations, which made Lei Dongbao very happy when he woke up after drinking.
And if it were Song Yunhui, he would probably say something unpleasant to Lei Dongbao besides congratulating him.
After the call ended, Ms. Liang said with emotion:
"I underestimated my brother-in-law. I didn't expect him to do such a big business."
Chen Tao chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter if you underestimate him. Don't underestimate me, or I will look good on you."
Miss Liang bit him: "You know how to bully me! Before I came back, did you also bully your ex-wife Xiaomao in different ways?"
It's not surprising that she would know the pet name "kitten."
Because the little girl whose nickname was originally "Cat Cat" also knew that her father had always called her mother that way. And if she knows, it means that Miss Liang knows.
Miss Liang is a little jealous.
Chen Tao shook his head: "I swear, since I called you in 1991, I have never taken the initiative to bully her. The only few times she took the initiative to pester me."
Then he joked: "I have been keeping my integrity for you these past few years. Should you reward me?"
Miss Liang already believed it, but she still said coquettishly: "I don't believe it! With your current habits, you don't look like someone who can endure loneliness."
"Is it possible that I can't stand it because you are so beautiful?"
"Well, it's possible. After all, I am indeed beautiful."
"Are you too narcissistic?"
Just looking at her face, Ms. Liang's facial features are basically impeccable. She still retains the traditional graceful beauty, but she is not like those so-called elegant appearances, which Chen Tao, a person with low aesthetic taste, cannot appreciate at all.
But as for her figure, she only has a pair of long legs that are interesting.
Fortunately, with the strengthening of plug-ins and the training of Chen Tao, she gradually grew up again.
"I am narcissistic? Mr. Song, as a leader, shouldn't you seek truth from facts? How can you ignore the facts and say that I am narcissistic?"
Miss Liang stood up and said condescendingly:
"Quickly reflect and admit that I am the most beautiful woman you have ever seen, no one else!"
Chen Tao snorted: "As a determined fighter, even if I am tortured by you, a female spy, I will never change my words! Jade will not change its whiteness even if it is broken, and bamboo will not be destroyed even if it is burned. Hurry up and do it!"
Miss Liang burst into laughter, leaned over and hugged his neck, and murmured: "I really like you. I shouldn't have listened to you and went to study in the United States. In this way, you will definitely belong to me alone."
She said this not because she minded Cheng Kaiyan or Xiao Yin, she was just expressing her love.
She was even glad that the woman who won the teacher was Cheng Kaiyan, not the woman who treated him wholeheartedly, otherwise she might have to regret it for the rest of her life.
That afternoon, Chen Tao sent Liang Sisen on the plane and then returned to the factory's research institute to work.
Under his leadership, Luoda has little say.
If you don't do it, there are some Japanese and Si Dezi who want to take over.
For example, Chen Tao didn't want James, the chief engineer who acted on his own and caused a safety accident in a branch factory, but appointed another honest engineer to assist him.
He is the chief engineer, the head of the institute, and the leader of the relevant catalyst research and development team. As long as he wants, Lao Ma has to stand aside.
But he didn't take charge of everything. Instead, he gave Lao Ma and others enough respect. No matter what decision he made, he would communicate with them at the meeting.
Therefore, Lao Ma and others also respect and are willing to cooperate with him. They will not hinder him, but will strongly support him.
For example, the funding of the institute and the salary of researchers are basically in accordance with Chen Tao's wishes.
Even if someone complains, Lao Ma is willing to do the appeasement work in person.
With such concerted efforts, coupled with Chen Tao's own strong luck, it is expected that the results will be produced by the beginning of next year at the latest.
There is no shortcut to doing scientific research and experiments, but if you are lucky, you can also avoid detours.
***
In the blink of an eye, it was June.
On the morning of the 13th, the Cheng family was full of guests and friends, and the living room was filled with a lively atmosphere.
Generally speaking, even if the creditors do not want the debt at other times, they will always ask for it during the New Year and other festivals. It is impossible for the debtors to spend the New Year and other festivals in peace.
And today is the Dragon Boat Festival, so it is not surprising that the Cheng family is more lively.
Cheng Kaiyan had a dark face, accompanied his parents, and stared at a group of relatives, friends and social people, feeling particularly uncomfortable.
This time it was not because of the ex-husband, but because of the brother and sister-in-law.
No matter how stupid she was, she would only hate her ex-husband for being ruthless and unwilling to help. She would not think that the debts on the brother and sister-in-law were forced by the ex-husband to borrow.
As for the fact that the brother and sister-in-law have not returned yet, it is also because they are unfilial, making their parents, who are old, face the creditors and sigh all day long, and their lives are very tormented. It is not because the ex-husband arrested them and did not allow them to go home.
Therefore, Cheng Kaiyan also had a problem with his brother and sister-in-law. But no matter how much he disagreed, he was still her brother, better than her ex-husband who cheated on her female student.
Yuan Xiang's third uncle first glanced at Cheng Kaiyan, intending to let her pay off part of the debt for her brother and sister-in-law, but when he thought of her ex-husband's current status, he still didn't dare to speak, so he had to suppress his anger and persuade Lao Deng and his wife:
"Old Cheng, this is not a good thing! Where are Qianli and Yuan Xiang hiding? Just let them come back and find a solution together, isn't it better?"
Lao Deng said in embarrassment: "I really don't know where they are! It's been eight months, and he and Yuan Xiang haven't called back. I don't know if they are dead or alive. I called the police, but I haven't found them yet!"
After saying that, he started to cry.
None of the creditors present believed him.
They believed that Cheng Qianli and his wife had run away with the money, and they should be living a good life somewhere now, and they would not return to Jinzhou.
As for why the two bastards didn't even take their son with them? Not every parent is reluctant to give up their children.
Without children, they have so much money, and they live a better life!
Damn, what a beast!
Just as a group of creditors continued to force Lao Deng and his wife, two policemen pushed open the half-closed door.
"What are you doing?"
The tall policeman saw a dozen people gathered together with bad faces, and subconsciously thought that this group of people were making trouble.
"Police comrade, we are all here to collect debts, not to mess around."
Uncle Yuan said, staring at Lao Deng and his wife with resentful eyes, thinking that they were immoral and called the police.
The tall policeman was busy with important matters, so he just nodded, then looked away and asked everyone:
"Who is Cheng Qianli's family member?"
"I, I am, I am Cheng Qianli's father! Have you found my son? Where is he?"
Lao Deng raised his hand quickly, feeling both happy and worried.
He was happy to see his son, but worried that his son would be arrested and put in jail.
The tall policeman saw that Lao Deng was now full of white hair and his face was full of wrinkles. He felt a little reluctant, but he still said dutifully:
"We have received news about your son. Please come with us."
Lao Deng said happily: "Okay, okay!"
The short policeman moved his lips and felt very reluctant.
"We will go too!"
Uncle Yuan shouted: "He owes us so much money. We can't let them get away this time!"
The creditors echoed one after another.
The tall policeman said sternly: "I will call you when I need to find out the situation. Don't make any noise now. Go home for the holidays!"
Uncle Yuan looked at him twice, and then suggested: "We won't make any noise, just go and have a look."
The tall policeman snorted: "Don't let so many people go, only one is allowed to go, you can discuss it!"
This was a beautiful move, and all the creditors immediately started to quarrel.
Lao Deng, his wife, and Cheng Kaiyan went to the police station with the police first.
Twenty minutes later, Lao Deng and his wife were sent to the hospital again.
Cheng Kaiyan cried and called her ex-husband's office, but learned that her ex-husband had gone to Beijing on a business trip and might not be able to return until Friday.
She was so sad that she had no choice but to go to the hospital to be with her parents.
Not long after, Yuan Xiang's parents also rushed over.
Three days later.
Lao Deng was discharged from the hospital and returned home to deal with the funeral arrangements for his son and daughter-in-law.
"Forget it if he doesn't come back, you go pick up Xiaoyin. Something happened to uncle and aunt, and she should come back."
Now that things have come to this, Lao Deng can only suppress his grief and make some plans for his grandson's future.
Cheng Kaiyan shook his head and said, "Xiaoyin is also in the capital."
When Lao Deng heard this, he was furious:
"You didn't tell us about the divorce, and you don't want a daughter. You are so unfilial! I told you not to rush for his help, but you didn't listen to me. Why did I give birth to such an unfilial daughter like you? Your brother and sister-in-law If something goes wrong, you are also responsible!"
Cheng Kaiyan opened his mouth wide, unable to believe that Lao Deng, who had always loved and cared for him, would angrily reprimand him. For a moment, his mind went blank.
Mother Cheng wiped away her tears and looked at her husband in surprise.
Lao Deng continued to shout: "I don't care what method you use, you must repair the relationship with Song Yunhui and let him find a good way out for my grandson in the future, otherwise you will not come back to our home again! Go, call him and beg him to take his daughter Go back to Jinzhou!”
Cheng Kaiyan cried while obeying the instructions.
That night, in the hotel, Chen Tao received a call from his secretary and learned that his uncle had become the victim of a murder.
It stands to reason that when a person dies, it is like a lamp going out, and one should go and express condolences. But unfortunately, he really didn't have time.
Early tomorrow morning, he would have to go to the United States with his team for exchanges, so he could only make a phone call to express condolences.
However, Cheng Kaiyan thought that he was cold-blooded and said angrily: "No matter how bad my brother and sister-in-law are, and no matter how much you hate them, now that they are gone, you should calm down, right?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lao Deng pushed her away and said hello: "Don't listen to Kaiyan's nonsense! Since you are not free, don't come here specially, work is more important."
Chen Tao said displeased: "Which one are you singing about? If something happens to them, what does it have to do with me? Don't let me be a good person and a bad person! There is a limit to my patience, no matter how much it is!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Lao Deng angrily stared at his daughter:
"I asked you to beg him. Are you begging for help? Do you think you are the factory director's daughter? You are worthless. If I didn't give you a plan, how could you marry Song Yunhui on your own?"
Lao Deng stopped pretending. (End of chapter)
