Chapter 518: Temptation
"Good morning, is there something wrong with you? It's not like you're going to let us show you the house again, is it? Didn't you just come back yesterday? Sam is more sensitive to Hong Tao's attitude, and he never says hello like this in the past.
"No, no, I'm not going to go out for a while. But I really have something I want to discuss with you, do you have time? Hong Tao usually can't stop this mouth for a moment, but when it comes to business, he is a little crippled.
"What's the matter? Still so solemn? Did you quarrel with Erin? We can't take care of this, you need to solve it yourself, but I can give you some advice, why don't you invite me to eat skewers in the evening! Sam couldn't guess for sure, but at least it was reliable, but his attitude was so bad that he actually planned to use his daughter to go to Meng Hongtao for a skewer.
"Hong Tao, let's come into the house, we still have some time, but you have to hurry up, both of us have classes in the morning." Mrs. Burgess was more meticulous than Sam, and seeing that Hong Tao really had something to say, stopped her husband from pushing the bicycle and let Hong Tao into the house.
"Is Erin calling these days? She's pretty good. Hong Tao still hasn't figured out how to explain his intentions euphemistically, and he feels that it doesn't seem appropriate to say anything.
"Have you not been in touch?" Mrs. Burgess was now the main attacker, and Sam dragged his cheeks and watched Hong Tao without speaking.
"Oh, there's a connection, there's a connection, this one......" Hong Tao plucked up his courage several times, but he still didn't say it.
"You've got to hurry, we've got 20 ......minutes left," Sam finally spoke, gesturing to the watch on his wrist.
"I'm going to marry Erin...... I want to ask your opinions...... "Hong Tao is so depressed, he finally mustered up the courage to tell Erin's parents about marriage, but he had to hurry, why did he carry it so much!"
"Get married!" Sam's eyes immediately widened, but not at Hong Tao, but at his own daughter-in-law. Mrs. Burgess is the same. The two men stared for several seconds before turning their heads.
"You proposed to Erin?" This time it was Mrs. Burgess who spoke first.
"Not yet, according to our Chinese habits, it is better to ask your parents first about marriage." Hong Tao is calm now, it's like a fart that has been held for a long time, and finally let it go, anyway, the smell can't be hidden, what do you like!
"What if we don't agree?" After Mrs. Burgess said this, she pressed Sam's hand, and Sam wanted to speak, but he stopped talking.
"Disagree!? If you don't agree. I'll ask Erin again, and if she agrees, I think we can sit down together and discuss it carefully. Hong Tao asked Mrs. Burgess this sentence, he really didn't think that Sam and his family would disagree, if they didn't agree, why did they go so early?
"Haha Sam! "Mrs. Burgess and Sam are such a couple, and this kind of thing is not a joke.
"Hey, boy, come on. If you lower the rent a little more, I'll have a few nice things to say about you, and that's it, go and get ready to propose to my daughter." We're going to class! Sam smugly squeezed at Hong Tao, then pulled Hong Tao out the door, pushed their bicycle and left. Throw Hong Tao alone in the yard.
"! Is that the end of it? Hong Tao pondered the words for a night, but he didn't use half a sentence, his future father-in-law and mother-in-law looked a little unreliable!
After communicating with Erin's parents, it is only the first step to get married, and the next step should be to go and talk to Erin in person, but this step is not easy, because Erin is far away in the United States, and it must be inappropriate to say on the phone, and it is too far to go to the United States, so Hong Tao plans to wait and talk about it, because Erin is going to China on a business trip in October, although the location is Shanghai, but it is much closer than the United States.
In fact, Hong Tao also thought of a more romantic scenario, that is, secretly ran to the United States and suddenly appeared in front of Erin with a diamond ring in hand, and then proposed to her in front of their colleagues. However, Hong Tao didn't know the address of Erin's lawyer's firm, and he couldn't ask Sam about them, so maybe Erin would learn about it in 10 minutes, which was boring. The most important thing is that Hong Tao is not this kind of romantic person in his bones, if he does it too well this time, it is equivalent to raising Irene's expectations, and he himself can't guarantee that this kind of romantic scene will often appear in the future, so in the end he still rejected this idea, and plain is true!
Although Hong Tao is back, Lei Che's job still remains, not that Hong Tao wants to put a beautiful woman by his side to see if he can take advantage of it. The main thing is that maybe I will have to get married and go on my honeymoon in a few days, rather than bothering others at that time, it is better not to let people go, anyway, she is very interested, and she does not lack her salary, why not?
And you really can't underestimate the energy of the beauty, whenever there are customers to consult, the success rate of Hong Tao's reception is much lower than the success rate of Lei Che's reception, although everyone is running for Hong Tao's fame and the temptation to go abroad to fish and hunt, but the feeling of a big ocean girl and a rough man is definitely different, especially those customers with deep pockets, often this heart is happy, comfortable, reverie or something, this matter is settled.
But there are always two sides to things, and being beautiful can win more customers and contracts for the company, and it also brings a lot of negative effects to the company. Those bosses, the second generation, this president, and that brother often come to the company for consultation and consultation, take the opportunity to chat with Lei Che, and make an appointment for dinner or something by the way. Although Lei Che didn't agree to any of them, it also made Hong Tao very awkward to send flowers and care every once in a while.
In the end, Hong Tao had to be ruthless, whenever Lei Che didn't want to see the customer, he would come forward to fight the thunder, Lei Che hid in other rooms and didn't come out, anyway, the consultation was to make an appointment, and the yard also had a gate, so it was impossible to make a surprise attack. But in this way, Hong Tao has become a hated light bulb, and some people have sued Hong Tao to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, saying that Hong Tao's company is operating illegally.
At this time, Hong Tao is no longer the Hong Tao who just opened a small fishing tackle shop, and he can't be said to be wealthy, at least he has also met a lot of director-level and director-level relationships through the company that turned the house upside down. As soon as this complaint reached the industrial and commercial office of the segment, it was stopped, and the director called over, chatted about the general situation, and then made an appointment to go to Tangshan for a turn, and this complaint is not consistent with the facts.
As for why he asked to go around Tangshan, it was a must, where can the officials in Beijing hang out at the door of their homes! As the saying goes, rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, Beijing is full of big officials, and a director is just a deputy director, at most, it is right, in case you see the old leaders, old classmates, how inappropriate it is. So if you want to relax and relax, you have to go to the suburbs recently, the safest thing is to go to the field, as long as you have a relationship in the local area, it is no worse than Beijing, and it is safe and secure, and Tianjin, Tanggu, Tangshan is the best destination, the distance is close, the city is prosperous enough, and the management is not so strict.
Since it is a business, there are such and such troubles, let alone this kind of open guns and hidden arrows. Although this dark arrow was a little wronged, Hong Tao also had to endure it, not only could he not find the main owner to theorize, but he could not be involved with Lei Che. can only be done when nothing happened, should be greeted with a smile or a smile, should help people go through various procedures or have to do it, anyway, Hong Tao, the consulting company, has not deviated at all at the level of laws and regulations, as long as it is not the revenge of killing your father, no one will bite you to death, at most it is disgusting and disgusting to you, just venting.
Now with Gao Ming, Gao Miao and Lei Che, the three partners and employees, Hong Tao has completely become the shopkeeper. The fishing tackle shop is basically handed over to Gao Ming to operate, although his own shares still account for the majority, but in addition to ten days and half a month to go there to wander around, send the special effects bait with the good fish, and then chat with fishing friends and brag, Hong Tao doesn't care about other things.
