One day, Tang Tong received a notice from the Ministry of War that Shang Chengjie wanted to see Tang Tong. When I arrived at the military headquarters, I entered Shang Chengjie's office and saw a person sitting next to him. Tang Tong had already seen who he was, pretending not to know him and ignoring it.

came straight to Shang Chengjie and saluted him, "Xia Guan has seen Lord Shangshu!".

Shang Chengjie nodded slightly, and pointed to the person enthusiastically, "This is Cao Ge's old son, Cao Tong!".

Tang Tong had met Cao Tong, but he hadn't dealt with him, if it wasn't for the military compound, the two would have passed by, and they wouldn't have spoken. Now I can't be slow down on this occasion, and I salute immediately, "I've seen Cao Gongzi!".

Cao Tong just bowed slightly, "Lord Tang doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat!", Tang Tong nodded and sat down opposite Cao Tong.

It was Cao Tong who spoke first, "It turns out that this is the famous Captain Tang, who is really young and promising, and he is in the fourth rank of official residence at such a young age, which is enviable!".

This is the first time Tang Tong has spoken face-to-face with Cao Tong, and as soon as he came up, he praised himself, it seemed that he had ulterior motives, and he replied humbly without changing his face: "What a martial artist is enough to worry about!".

Cao Tong saw that Tang Tong was so obscure about himself, and knew that he was wary of the living. So he went to the point, "How can you be a martial artist?" Lord Tang is both civil and military!".

Tang Tong smiled indifferently and replied complimentally, "In front of Cao Gongzi, it was a class with an axe, but he only knew the literature and ink, and he couldn't talk about the martial arts.".

Cao Tong was secretly smiling in his heart, Tang Tong was very wary of himself. At this time, he glanced at Shang Chengjie, and Shang Chengjie immediately nodded, "Gongzi Cao is here today to match the marriage between Lord Tang and his niece Xia Xunqiu, congratulations!" I wonder how Lord Tang feels?".

Tang Tong was very surprised when he heard this, how did this matter make Cao Tong come forward, I don't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his heart, and asked helplessly for a while: "No!" Everyone knows that Miss Xia and Lan Gongzi are a natural pair, although things have changed, but I, a reckless person, how can I get into Miss Xia's eyes!".

Shang Chengjie blamed Tang Tong for not knowing how to raise his face, and said very sincerely: "Since Gongzi Cao mentioned this matter, Miss Xia must agree, don't think too much, just tell me what you mean!", squeezed his eyes at Tang Tong, don't let yourself lose face in front of Cao Tong.

Tang Tong still didn't believe it, "This is Miss Xia using me as a shield in order to shirk her marriage, right?".

Shang Chengjie was completely in order to complete what Cao Tong had asked for, and criticized in a hurry; "Lord Tang thought of going there, Miss Xia had long wanted to break off with Chen Dingxian, Lord Tang's ability was many times stronger than him, and I also admired it very much! As long as you tie the knot with Miss Xia, the future is limitless!".

Tang Tong was at a loss for a while, "I've never thought about it like this, as if I'm dreaming, I don't believe it's true!".

"This is what my niece said to me personally, can't I lie to Lord Tang?", Cao Tong was a little anxious.

Tang Tong decided in his heart that this was just an excuse for Xia Xunqiu, and he just wanted to make himself a son who would not be married again. But if he refuses in person, he will sweep the face of the Cao Xia family, and he will bring endless disasters to himself. Only pretending to be submissive and saying: "I don't believe that God will favor me like this, to tell the truth, I can't ask for it!", Tang Tong was overjoyed and showed his whole body, this sentence made the two of them dispel their worries.

Shang Chengjie struck while the iron was hot, "Then the old man will be a matchmaker and make an appointment to come to the door to propose marriage?", said and looked at Cao Tong, Cao Tong was worried at this time, and listened to what Tang Tong said, it seems that Xia Shunqiu has this possibility, Tang Tong is just a shield. Besides, my sister and brother-in-law may not agree, and I just met Tang Tongqi, and by the way, I was testing it, and this matter had to be planned slowly, so I naturally smiled and said: "This matter is not in a hurry, after I agree with my brother-in-law, I will give Mr. Shang news!".

Shang Chengjie accompanied the smiling face, "That's!" I am always waiting for Cao Gongzi to summon!".

Cao Tong's purpose was Tang Tong, and he asked casually: "I appreciate the plan of the Guangji New Bridge built by Lord Tang, the integration of resources and scheduling are in a good way, which is not something that ordinary people can do!".

Tang Tong saw Cao Tong talking like this in front of Shang Chengjie, and he was suspected of sowing discord. Immediately corrected: "This is all Lord Shang's command, in fact, many of the plans are Lord Shang's intentions, I just draw the gourd the same!".

Shang Chengjie was very comfortable when he heard this, and Cao Tong knew that he didn't want to wear it, but Tang Tong gently flicked it and put himself in an invincible position.

And Tang Tong has the ability and will support the boss, and he is sleek. Cao Tong then changed the topic and said: "Lord Tang's business is impressive, and he must be thoughtful and just like him, right?".

Tang Tong finally understood the true purpose of Cao Tong's trip, and had already sensed that Tang Tong was a business upstart who was about to protrude, and he felt threatened without intersecting with the Cao family's business, and this time it was a blatant temptation. Tang Tong must have something to say to dispel Cao Tong's doubts." My business is all insignificant small business, making a little money from the poor, and the Cao family is rich!".

Cao Tong put the account on the bright side, "What Lord Tang said is the truth, although the benefits are small, but based on hundreds of thousands of people, that is not a small number, and I can't buy low-priced rice noodles." As he spoke, he stared at Tang Tong.

Tang Tong was unmoved, but he had to bow his head, and said with a smiling face: "I'm not willing to worship under the Cao family, climb up to the relationship and beg for food!".

Cao Tong also asked with a smile; "What do you mean?".

"I married Miss Xia, as an uncle, I should always reward the younger generation with a mouthful of food, right?".

Cao Tong immediately laughed involuntarily, "That's reasonable!" Looks like I'm going to have to do my best to get this done.".

Tang Tong stood up and bowed deeply, "Thank you, uncle!", a servile look, which made people feel annoying.

It was Cao Tong who met him, and he was not fluttering because of the other party's flattery, he nodded and beckoned, "Don't bother much!"

As soon as he heard that he was leaving, Shang Chengjie immediately stood up, "I'll send Cao Gongzi!", saying that he was leading the way in front, Cao Tong was a lame man, and he walked with a limp, and Tang Tong slowly followed behind.

Out of the gate of the military department, Cao Tong said to Shang Chengjie: "Thank you Lord Shang for sending me off, I still have something to say to Lord Tang!", after the salute, Shang Chengjie entered the mansion reasonably.

The two walked some way forward and came to a secluded place. Cao Tong asked, "This matter is done, how can Lord Tang thank me?".

Tang Tong didn't know Cao Tong's hole cards, so he could only say tactfully: "It's all a family, just open your mouth if you have something to say!".

Cao Tong didn't care about Tang Tong's feelings, stretched out four fingers and said, "I want forty percent of your grain stack and coal stack!" When Tang Tong heard this, he really wanted to beat Cao Tong. But the Cao family can't be offended, so they can only break their teeth and swallow in their stomachs, "Okay!" Then there is Uncle Lao from which to say and.".

Cao Tong knew that Tang Tong would agree, and Tang Tong, a smart person, could figure it out." I create opportunities for you, it's up to you to operate?".

"Let's take what Miss Xia means first, and give a good impression. If Xia Ge is there, be cautious, and then use some means.", a few short sentences can see Tang Tong's wit and agility.

Cao Tong has a bottom in his heart, if Tang Tong becomes the climate, it will be a big trouble for the Cao family's business. At this point, it is wise to solicit without losing money. stepped forward and patted Tang Tong on the shoulder, "Wait for my news, I will let you meet more often with Xun'er, it's up to you."...

Tang Tong bowed and waved his hand and said, "Thank you uncle for making it complete!", and personally helped Cao Tong to get into the car, and then watched the carriage leave.

Tang Tong has been discussing with Mao Zongxie and Min Rongchao these days. has attracted Cao Tong's attention, the Cao family is now easy to strangle themselves, and it is the best policy not to go toe-to-toe with the Cao family. I have to deal with Cao Tong first, but Cao Tong's proposal to divide the four percent of the benefits makes the three of them unacceptable, and Min Rongchao thinks that it is reasonable to only give two percent. In the end, Tang Tong made a final decision, and first promised to slowly consider with Cao Tong, and only waited for the right time to give it to Yicheng, this is what Mao Zongxie and Min Rongchao admired Tang Tong the most.
