Night.

That is, half an hour, when Xu Tao dried his hair and came out, the hall that was still lively just now was empty, the music had long stopped, and the screens of the TVs were still flashing with silent pictures, entertainment, news, TV dramas、...... The whole nine yards.

Xu Tao walked over and turned off the TV in turn, until the last one, where local news was playing, "Mr. Cheng Zhongguo, chairman of Changyuan Chemical, set up a bursary to help poor students complete their studies", "Over the years, Mr. Cheng Zhongguo has been enthusiastic about public welfare, and has donated money to build school education buildings and libraries many times, and provided employment opportunities for many students,......". Cheng Zhongguo's image flashed by, he was in his fifties, he enlisted in the army as an engineer in his early years, and now he has been retired from the army for many years, but his back is still straight.

Chinese face, big eyes, square chin - Cheng Qinghe should be like his mother, a beauty who has long passed away.

Xu Tao turned off the last TV.

"Bah", the sound of the ball falling into the bag came from downstairs, followed by several cheers, both men and women.

Xu Tao went downstairs just to see Zhao Congzhou collecting money from onlookers, he was full of smiles, "Thank you for your sponsorship, I wish you all the best if you spend a good moon and wish you success and success......" Zhao Congzhou said slippery, and the two front desk girls laughed happily, "Zhou Zhou, instead of selling well here, it is better to tell Boss Cheng, he is a little promoted by the old man, and you are a 'president'." When the time comes, pull us along, we are not greedy, just arrange a general manager assistant general manager's secretary. ”

Zhao Congzhou was just about to return the favor, but he saw Xu Tao with a sharp eye, and hurriedly put down the club to meet him, "How about eating supper?"

Seeing that it was a guest at the front desk, he honestly returned to his post to collect the cards and return the membership card, and asked Xu Tao with a smile how he felt all night. The men who played ball together, seeing that she was a young woman, inevitably squeezed their eyebrows at Zhao Congzhou. Carrying Xu Tao on his back, Zhao Congzhou replied to them with a few foul words. When they went out, there was a loud laugh behind them, and they said loudly in dialect, "It's finally useful, Zhou Zhou, congratulations." ”

Zhao Congzhou comforted herself, but looking at Xu Tao's subtle smile, she also knew that she understood everything, and broke the jar and spread her hands, "No way, I'm too good and have too many friends." ”

When he said this, Xu Tao laughed, and Zhao Congzhou also laughed.

As the neon lights fade and the night takes on a quiet face, the sweet scent of gardenias in the air, the night runner calmly passes them and disappears into the next intersection.

Xu Tao let out a long sigh of relief, almost at the same time as her, Zhao Congzhou also sighed, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled.

"Are you-alright, Mr. Xu?" Zhao asked teasingly.

Xu Tao smiled, "You already know, I've grown up with a joke?" The news spread so fast, what's there to build on?" ”

"Really?" Xu Tao smiled again, "Just now in the locker room, someone suggested that I am a newcomer to figure out the situation first and then speak, in order to please the boss, there is no good result." ”

"Who?" Zhao Congzhou asked with a frown. Xu Tao didn't answer, he didn't ask again, "Who recommended you to come?"

"Director Ma of the management committee, Mr. Cheng entrusted him to look for management personnel, and he recommended me. Seeing Zhao Congzhou thinking hard, Xu Tao patted his arm, "Don't think about it, I'm not worried, it's not that you are covering me, Zhao Ershao." ”

Zhao Congzhou opened his mouth and spit out a sentence for a long time, "How do you know?"

"There are no secrets in a small town. Xu Tao laughed, "Don't ask me how I know, you should know better than me." She glanced at her watch, "More than an hour ago, there were five or six people, and they told me that your name is Zhao Congzhou, and you are the only son of Changyuan's second-in-command. However, who told you to be reincarnated, so qualified to play. Then I realized that I was so lucky to rent the most cost-effective apartment. ”

Zhao Congzhou couldn't cry or laugh. It's no wonder that although the times have changed, the years in the small town are slow, and the residential community built by Changyuan, even the attached gym is the industry of Changyuan.

Xu Tao looked at him teasingly, "Since you don't want to enter Changyuan, why don't you go out and break in?"

There is no way to complain, Zhao Congzhou laughed dryly, "At least someone is worse than me." ”

Zhao Congzhou's brother who was even worse than him in his mind, and the relatives he saw when he entered the house were cousins. Cheng Pinghe fell asleep on the sofa, and Dongao's "Easy Pass of Financial Cost Management" fell to the ground.

Cheng Qinghe helped her pick up the book and put it on the sofa, although he had already relaxed his hands and feet, Cheng Pinghe did not sleep soundly, and suddenly woke up. Although her sleepy eyes were relaxed, she didn't forget the important things, and lowered her voice with a little reproach, "Brother, I didn't tell you to hurry home, Uncle wants to have a meeting with us." ”

Cheng Qinghe didn't answer, "It's not early, you go home soon." ”

Cheng Zhongguo still lived in the old house in the countryside after he became prosperous, and his younger brother, that is, Cheng Pinghe's father, the old brothers lived next to each other and took care of each other.

Cheng Pinghe looked upstairs, there was no movement there, and said quickly in a low voice, "First, the trading company, the uncle does not agree to open it." Also, yesterday Uncle Zhao and they resigned, and today the worker broke into the personnel department, and he asked what happened. She looked at her cousin worriedly, "He just came back from going out, and I don't know who told him." Also, he drank. ”

When it came to the last sentence, she couldn't restrain her feelings and complained, "You should have come back earlier." ”

Cheng Qinghe picked up her bag and book and stuffed them into her hands, "Got it." Pushing Cheng Pinghe out of the door, he went upstairs with his shirt full.

After only two steps, Cheng Qinghe suddenly felt hungry, there were too few dishes for dinner, and there was no oil in the clear soup, so he couldn't blame Xu Tao for not eating enough. Thinking of her straightforward words, the faint doubt in his heart was overturned: only those who have not suffered can take everything for granted.

He walked slowly to the door of the study, raised his hand and knocked twice. No one answered, he twisted the handle slightly, and the door opened.

As expected, Cheng Zhongguo drank again after being tired, and fell asleep on the table at the moment, his gray hair rising and falling with the sound of snoring.

Cheng Qinghe walked over, Cheng Zhongguo pressed a stack of papers under his arm, and the first thing that caught his eye was the matter: a comparison table of raw materials purchased by Cheng Qinghe, submitted by: Zhao Gang. Cheng Qinghe is not curious about the content, what he has done, he himself knows very well.

Cheng Zhongguo smoked and drank, and the smell in the room was strong, so Cheng Qinghe opened the window and opened the door. The night breeze in the countryside passed through the hall, Cheng Zhongguo shivered, woke up suddenly, and looked up to see his son standing by the window.

Cheng Qinghe turned his back to the room and stood with his hands folded.

Cheng Zhongguo sat up straight, grabbed the teacup on the table and took a big sip. The tea was already cold, and it was particularly bitter in the mouth.

Hearing the movement, Cheng Qinghe turned around.

Cheng Zhongguo pointed to the ground, lowered his head and drank tea.

Cheng Qinghe walked to the place he pointed to and knelt down without hesitation.

The more honest he was, the colder Cheng Zhongguo's heart became, and his shoulders, waist, and knees hurt together. Pushing away the chair, Cheng Zhongguo strode up to Cheng Qinghe, waved his slap on his head and back, and beckoned, "You're going to make a mistake when I'm still here?" Why did you promise me last year? You said you want to take Changyuan to a new height, that's how you bring it?"

The more he talked, the more angry he became, and he kicked his foot, "Say, is your trading company planning to make more money from the company?"

Cheng Qinghe looked at the floor in front of him, "Yes, because I want to prepare with both hands." Changyuan has aged, and everyone is thinking about how to get more benefits from the company. He raised his head, his voice cold, "Today's Changyuan is no longer the Changyuan that everyone contributed to in the past, the abuse of power for personal gain is rampant, and even the cleaning aunt who is engaged in sanitation is trying to find a way to reap benefits, and taking an extra roll of tissues is money." I hate this kind of long plain, if I can't change it, then just drain its blood and rebuild a new one-"

His words were interrupted.

Cheng Zhongguo grabbed the newspaper folder in his hand and hit him with his head and face - his son hit him in the face with words, then he could also hit him back. Nagahara is his hard work, and it is also his possession. He has lost a lot to build this glorious corporate kingdom, and anyone who wants to hurt Changyuan is his enemy.

I knew it would be like this for a long time.

Cheng Qinghe put his hands on the ground, trying his best to stabilize himself from falling.

You can't beg for mercy, you can't give in, any show of weakness will make your father's anger even greater, and the man can only bleed and not shed tears.

In the snowflakes of paper, Cheng Qinghe raised his head, "I want to take back all employee shares!"
