Chapter 31: Invitation

It wasn't until he returned to the garden that Tan Weixin had prepared for him that Ye Tao suddenly remembered a question: Although participating in this project can be regarded as having an identity that can discuss things with those officials of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry, what role is he going to play in this magnificent engineering project? Is it a designer, or a partner? Or is it a contractor? This hierarchical relationship is extremely complex in a project, and Tan Weixin, who obviously has no experience in project management, seems to have not thought of this.

However, before he could call someone to bring a message or a text message to Tan Weixin to explain that at this time, Lu Dan, the guard who had almost become the head of this place called the Lingering Garden, came up and handed over a flat and beautiful wooden box. Ye Taohu suspiciously opened the wooden box and found that it contained a beautifully framed invitation card, which said that he was invited to attend the reception held in Mingyu Tower three days later, and the final payment was Luo Qin and Song Yu.

"...... this?" Ye Tao asked.

"Just now, Luo Qin asked his subordinates to send it. The guys in Chunnanguo are happy, and they have such a drinking party twice a month, and they always invite some prestigious literati and strange people, although they are not recruiting talents, but they are at least annoying in this way. Lu Dan looked very unimpressed.

Ye Tao muttered: "Literati and strange people...... What's the matter with me? ”

Lu Dan smiled: "You are much stronger than ordinary literati and strange people now." Compared to the last cocktail party, Luo Qin and Song Yu actually invited the painters in the Qinglou to make up the numbers, you are too high-level. It seems that in front of Luo Qin, if you show a little talent and still get out of the way, you should be the first to show a little bit of talent and get out of the way, or if your status is slightly lower than Luo Qin. If you don't find the field again, how will they win people's hearts in Danyang in the future? How can they have the confidence to praise their martial arts and talents in Chunnan? ”

Ye Tao was a little crying and laughing. This Lu Dan's temperament is really similar to his master Tan Weixin, the same is that he refuses to let others press on his head with a lot of energy. Lu Dan is a real person, he doesn't regard himself as more important than Ye Tao, but he won't nod to Ye Tao because Ye Tao is now favored by the princess. For him, the improvement of Ye Tao's status just made the relationship between the two friends more natural.

Seeing that Ye Tao was a little hesitant, Lu Dan asked dissatisfiedly: "Little Brother Ye, are you going or not?" Lu Dan thought that Ye Tao was looking forward and backward, afraid of losing face at this kind of party. After all, although Ye Tao is very talented, he is only a businessman in the final analysis. At such gatherings, talent will certainly be appreciated, but under the manipulation of well-intentioned people, identity is more likely to be a reason to be despised.

"It's really not interesting to arouse any interest, you look at this kind of occasion, you can't do anything except go to accompany people to grind their tongues. Showing the dew will only cause trouble, and if you don't say anything, you will be looked down upon by those two guys in Chunnanguo. Do you think I should go or not? Ye Tao asked in embarrassment.

Lu Dan straightened his voice and said, "Go, who let you bear it?" You are from the Princess's Mansion, when have you ever seen the people of our Princess's Mansion be inferior to people? Someone comes up to quarrel, and you still can't go back because of your scolding? If anyone dares to do anything excessive, you and my friends and I are fake? Let's make it clear, in Danyang, only the people in the princess's mansion bully people, and no one dares to bully the people in the princess's mansion. Of course, the princess is strictly restrained, so let's give others a face, and everyone will be safe. ”

Lu Dan's words were indeed full of pride, which really made Ye Tao wipe the sweat from his forehead. Of course, he believed that Tan Weixin's temper and the power she held could allow her to do this, but it was another thing to be suddenly picked out by Lu Dan. And since Lu Dan has already said so, if he shirks the drinking party again, he will inevitably be a little timid. I'm afraid that he will be despised to death by Lu Dan and other guys who have confidence and expectations in him.

Ye Tao hesitated, sighed, and said, "Okay, I'll just go." ”

Lu Dan patted Ye Tao's shoulder and said, "That's right." You don't care about the rest, and when the time comes, you will be in the limelight. ”

God knows, Ye Tao actually doesn't want to be in the limelight at all, and Ye Tao is also a little ignorant of what Lu Dan said about the guarantee to be in the limelight, it seems to be a matter of preparing for Ye Tao to travel. In the past few days, Ye Tao has to repeatedly communicate with Tan Weixin about the military camp, establish his identity as a designer and partner in this huge project, establish that Dai Yuege's engineering team can be recognized to participate in this project, and communicate with Tan Weixin, a person who knows nothing about engineering surveying and mapping, about the location and architectural style of the military camp, and how much manpower and material resources will be invested in the construction of this military camp at that time, and how many troops will temporarily serve as construction workers to speed up the progress of the project. Only when all these things are implemented can the construction plan be organized on the basis of these reliable information. Coupled with the project of the Yizhan Building, which had already been rolled out, and Ye's Workshop entered Danyang, to implement the production site, raw material supply, IKEA store site selection and decoration, and the upcoming series of marketing problems, Ye Tao was really busy and didn't even have time to take a breath, he just felt that the time was not enough, and he didn't even notice what Lu Dan was tossing.

When Ye Tao finally saw the car that Lu Dan had prepared for him and the entourage that was hugging him, he was not surprised, but worried, and he muttered in his heart: "Dongping shouldn't have been convicted of beheading, right?" ”

Such worries are unnecessary. Although Lu Dan is a little reckless, he is also a child of an official family, if he doesn't like martial arts, he is probably already a big official at his age. On the issue of etiquette, Lu Dan will never commit it, but he just doesn't commit it. In the princess's mansion, with the assistance of several female officials from the Dongping royal family who like to toss and like to be lively, and with the promotion of Tan Weixin's quietly spending a sum of money to pay for the cost of the car and his entourage just to prevent Ye Tao from having the opportunity to notice, Ye Tao inexplicably has the most magnificent car among all the merchants in Danyang. Four snow-white Northern Liao horses without a trace of miscellaneous hair aggrievedly pulled a carriage made of good green tung, which was indeed majestic. The carriage is completely a civilian improvement of the long car style with the characteristics of Dongping Kingdom when the chariot was still the mainstream of the war. Simple and practical, easy to maintain, but from every angle reveals a power. Knowing that Ye's workshop is unique in the world in terms of lacquer work, Lu Dan did not find someone to come to the class to get an axe in this regard, and simply cleared the lacquer. However, this charm of wood grain gives this carriage between weapons and utensils a unique taste.

"The carriage is enough to swagger, and those guards and retinues are forgotten, right?" Ye Tao asked tentatively.

"There are no doors," replied Rudan in a daze, "I really haven't seen you yet." You are now a person who has half a foot in the circle of officialdom, you can keep a low profile and not be ostentatious, what if something happens? Just because you humiliated Luo Qin in the princess's mansion last time, if he didn't have enough energy, you should worry about being killed when you went out. Don't worry, 4 minions, 6 guards are not excessive, really. ”

Really doesn't count? As far as Ye Tao knows, the princess goes out by herself, as long as she doesn't go out of the city, most of them are just with these people, but the princess's maids are treated better, and there is another carriage. It actually looks more low-key than Ye Tao's appearance now.

"Although these people were selected by the princess from the retired guards by Manager Liu, they will have to take your salary in the future?" Lu Dan said with a hippie smile, "Tell you this clearly in advance, so as not to think that the princess wants to install someone by your side." From now on, these people have nothing to do with the princess's mansion or anything, and they will concentrate on listening to your orders. There is also Xiaosheng me, from today onwards, that is, the full-time housekeeper of your Ye Mansion. Do you have any comments? ”

"What are you crazy about?" Ye Tao was taken aback. Lu Dan's family has been in the eunuch for more than 100 years, and in the past 100 years, there are five people who have reached the official position of Sanqing, and the protégés and former officials are all over the world, although the Lu family has been low-key and low-key, but as the eldest son of the Lu family, Lu Dan can also be regarded as a number of people in Danyang. When he usually jokes, he calls Lu Dan "Lu Yanei", and he accepts it calmly, not embarrassed at all. Although Lu Dan became a guard in the princess's mansion because of his martial arts, this could have been regarded as a path to becoming a military attaché. If Lu Dan suddenly came to his house to be a manager now, then Ye Tao would be a little unbearable.

"Nothing...... I lost a bet with the princess, and for at least three years, this manager is not right. "Rudan is not embarrassed at all.

Although Tan Weixin is not ready to install anyone around her, she is really concerned about her own safety, and whether she can get out of the Danyang circle, in order to achieve this, she will do everything she can do. This intention, only Ye Tao understands why. They come from the same era, and they are thoughtful about each other, after all, this is the only person in this world who can understand their own whimsy and help them turn their whimsical ideas into reality. Tan Weixin really can't do anything except keep scheming, with her terrible body.

Ye Tao sighed and said, "Whatever you want, it seems that the wine party is almost over, so let's go?" ”

Lu Dan smiled, not at all serious as the head of the family, and said, "That's natural, isn't it just for this after preparing so much?" Master, please get in the car! ”
