Daoist, please stay

Tao Xuan's patience was about to run out.

He frowned impatiently.

"That's your father too? Don't you even want to leave home because of this?"

Tao Xiqi's eyes were wet.

"One or two of you don't treat me as a normal adult, I need to be respected!"

As soon as he was physically tearful, the eldest brother was helpless.

I can only coax him patiently.

"Then what do you say you want to do? You can't let Dad sigh every day when he can't see his son. He is not young."

Tao Xi is not a bastard and unfilial son, he hasn't seen his father for more than half a year, and to be honest, he is a little bit concerned.

But this thought was not worth his desire to be free.

After thinking about it, he decided to take a step back.

"Well, don't force me to go home to be a mascot, and I won't run away either. Go back and start a small company that won't have anything to do with Tianhai Group. I can do whatever I want, and go home regularly to be filial to my father. What do you think? Sample."

There was a triumphant smile in Tao Xuan's eyes.

"Yes, yes, but are you sure you don't want Tianhai's help? You didn't even make it clear."

Speaking of this, Tao Xi couldn't help being proud.

"You're looking down on me a bit now, don't treat me with admiration for three days, President Tao. Now I have a good partner who cooperates tacitly."

"Oh? That's right." Tao Xuan had the usual shrewd look on his face, "Are you sure that Mr. Xie is still willing to be your partner after knowing that you have cheated him so much?"

Tao Xi:! ! ! ! !

Xingfu Jiayuan, the community where Tao Xi is located, is not only old and small, but also has a very advantageous geographical location.

There is a good coffee shop only [-] meters away from the gate of the community.

The store is not big, and the decoration is simple. Although the price of a single product is not low, the quality is really good.

Jing Hao stirred the latte in the white porcelain cup, and beckoned for two more packs of brown sugar.

Xie Qinglan had never actually drank coffee.

Because Tao Xi never drinks coffee.

But he didn't want to be looked down upon by the fox-eyed man on the opposite side, he also seemed to be stirring the Americano in his cup...

Jing Hao wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, he poured two packs of sugar into it for himself, and said casually.

"Don't Mr. Xie put some sugar? I remember Er Shao likes to eat sweet things very much. He usually puts three servings of sugar."

Er Shao?

Xie Qinglan was irritated by Jing Hao's tone, she picked up the cup gracefully and raised her eyebrows.

"No, I don't like sweets."

After speaking, he took a sip.

Whoops!

Why is it so hard!

Xie Qinglan's pupils trembled.

Daochang Xie, who insisted on not following the trend, ordered a cup of "American" with a delicious name, no sugar added.

One sip is bitter enough to doubt life.

How did this thing sell so hot? !

However, the bitterness faded away slowly, and he could still smell a little coffee aroma with a long aftertaste.

so weird.

Take another sip.

His series of "bumpkin" behaviors were all seen by Jing Hao on the opposite side.

The other party looked at him with a smile, and spoke slowly.

"It can be seen that Mr. Xie has a good relationship with our second young master. May I take the liberty to ask, how did you two meet?"

Xie Qinglan put down the porcelain cup and grasped the point.

"Second Young Master?"

Jing Hao seemed surprised.

"Why, Mr. Xie doesn't know that Tao Xi is the second son of the chairman of our Tianhai Group?"

There are two consortiums in the imperial capital that made their fortunes from real estate.

One is Changheng Group and the other is Tianhai Group.

Changheng started from the Yangtze River Delta, while Tianhai came from the northwest.

Both families took off by taking advantage of the momentum of the country's economic development in the early years, and gradually developed into large-scale groups involved in the comprehensive development of real estate, finance, Internet, retail and other industries.

Among them, Tianhai Group has invested heavily in the development of the Internet and new energy in recent years, and has a strong momentum of development in emerging industries, but its territory in real estate has shrunk slightly.

Changheng pays more attention to the real estate industry, which is the foundation of starting a business, and is more cautious in investing in emerging industries.

In the past two years, due to the different focus of development, this pair of old opponents who have been fighting openly and secretly for many years also get along harmoniously.

The shopping plaza project that Xie Qinglan just solved is Changheng's business.

And Tao Xi is the second son of Tianhai Group, Changheng's old rival.

Properly rich second generation.

A noble son born with a golden spoon in his mouth.

Xie Qinglan, who was briefly popularized by Jing Hao about Tao Xi's life experience, obviously had some indigestion.

Tao Xi is not running away with debts - his net worth is at least billions.

His father is not a bad gambler - he is the chairman and absolute controlling shareholder of Tianhai Group.

He wasn't trying to hide from his creditors either - who the hell could make him owe money?

Not to mention the need to make money to redeem one's body—the second young master Tao, who is rich in gold and jade, few people can "redeem" him!

Then why does he live so suffocated, living in a pigeon cage of less than 50 square meters, setting up a stall and enduring the wind and sun to earn such a small amount of money, and still have stars in his eyes happily? !

Xie Qinglan thought she had a good brain, but she couldn't figure it out.

Is it...

A few of the plots of the TV dramas about the grievances and grievances of the bloody giants that I have watched are fermenting in my mind.

Xie Qinglan narrowed her eyes and looked at Jing Hao.

"Are you forcing him into a commercial marriage and marrying a woman he doesn't like, that's why he hid here?"

Jing Hao almost choked on his coffee with a sip.

How did you come to this conclusion bro? !

Embarrassedly wiping his mouth with a tissue, Jing Hao tried his best to maintain his elegance.

"Of course not, Mr. Xie, you are overthinking. Mr. Tao loves the second young master very much, and he fully respects his own wishes in matters of marriage, and will never interfere."

Xie Qinglan didn't believe it.

Eccentric parents never consider themselves eccentric.

Parents who have a strong desire to control their children will not feel that they are trying to control their children's lives.

He glanced at Jing Hao, and it was clearly written in his eyes: I don't believe it.

Jing Hao didn't explain much.

He just took out a check prepared in advance and pushed it in front of Xie Qinglan.

"To be honest, because of the special status of the second young master, we did a little research on you, Mr. Xie, in advance. So there are some things that we all know without you telling us. Based on Mr. Tao's concern for the second young master and his love for Your initial investigations suggest that you may need this."

It was a pre-signed check, stamped and effective, and could be cashed at the bank at any time.

Xie Qinglan glanced at the numbers above and couldn't help but sneer.

Sure enough, everything in the TV series is true.

The thinking of rich people is so simple and rude.

If you encounter any problems, just throw your money at it.

In Jing Hao's eyes, Xie Qinglan's contempt meant too little.

After thinking about it, he took out another check and pushed it towards Xie Qinglan side by side.

"Think about it, Mr. Xie. Not everyone has such luck. Although you rescued Er Shao when he was in danger and stayed by his side regardless of the cost, this experience is for you and Er Shao. , are precious and cannot be measured by money.”

Xie Qinglan impulsively wanted to grab the check and tear it into pieces.

You also know that the experience of sharing weal and woe between us and the companionship of each other cannot be measured by money, so what are you talking about? !

Humiliate us with money? !

"But people are social animals after all, and they can't live in a void without reality. So, I think, you need this money."

Xie Qinglan thought that the temper she had been honed by her seniors since she was a child had been tempered into steel, and she would not be shocked by honor or disgrace.

Unexpectedly, the fingers still numb from the anger of this little boy.

Xie Qinglan picked up the two checks, her eyes were filled with anger, but her face was full of contempt.

"You want to get rid of me for a mere 100 million? Your big boss in Tianhai is so stingy, did he start his business by exploiting his employees? You want to use money to send poor boys away from your wealthy family. Ten years ago, the TV series had to start with ten thousand dollars. Are you a bit out of date?!"

Jing Hao was obviously taken aback.

"Mr. Xie, I think you misunderstood..."

"I didn't misunderstand, and I don't want to hear your explanation. I just want to tell you one thing: Tao Xi, if he hates me, if he hates me, let him tell me himself. As long as he says he doesn't want to see me, I'll go away immediately Far away, they won't appear in front of their surname Tao in this life. But if it wasn't..." Xie Qinglan's eyes were like a lone wolf in the cold night, with a faint light. "Even if the emperor comes, don't make me submit."

With the rapid jingling of bells, Tao Xi pushed open the door and rushed in.

As soon as he came in, he went straight to Xie Qinglan, saw that he was holding two checks in his hand, his face changed, and he turned his head and shouted at Jing Hao.

"What did you do to him!"

Seeing Tao Xi rushing in, Xie Qinglan and Jing Hao panicked at the same time.

One hurriedly threw away the check and clapped his hands, putting on a disgusted look.

The other was full of grievances.

"Second Young Master, you can't wrong people so much, what did I do to him?"

He's so fierce, it's not bad if I didn't get hurt by him!

Tao Xuan put one hand in his pocket, walked slowly behind, and patted Jing Hao reassuringly.

"Xiaoxi, speak well."

Tao Xi angrily picked up the check and handed it back to Tao Xuan.

"You take less money to insult people, take it away! We don't want it!"

What he said was full of energy, but from the perspective of Jing Hao and Tao Xuan, it was obvious that Tao Xi's eyes were a little bit empty, and he even unconsciously glanced at Xie Qinglan who was diagonally behind him.

Xie Qinglan answered Tao Xi with practical actions.

He put one hand on Tao Xi's shoulder and said firmly.

"We don't want to."

There was a meaningful smile on the corner of Tao Xuan's mouth.

Signal Jing Hao to take the check.

"Since that's the case, I won't force it. You just have to think it through yourself." After a pause, the elder brother's tone softened a little, "Xiaoxi, what I told you just now, think carefully and don't reply me too late. That's it , Jing Hao, let's go."

"Huh? Just leave like this?"

Left and right looked and looked nervously, seeing that the boss was about to go out the door, he had no choice but to follow in a hurry.

The rest of Tao Xi was lucky in the direction of the door like a fighting cock.

Seeing the two people go out with the jingle of the wind chimes, they quickly disappeared.

Tao Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and looked back at Xie Qinglan nervously.

"Qing Lan, I actually..."

Xie Qinglan's expression was as usual, and she couldn't see any emotional changes.

"Go back and talk."

"Oh." Tao Xi felt a little lost and uneasy, and followed him out habitually.

Before I took two steps, I was stopped by the waitress girl.

"Sir...Chenghui 78 yuan, do you pay by Alipay or WeChat?"

Let's just say, now that prices are soaring and inflationary, 100 million is not enough...
