"Haha, why didn't you feel in trouble before? Helping outsiders deal with me together, pretending to be powerful, doesn't it feel great?"
Tao Yaoyang was not a fool, and of course he knew the reason for the sudden change in the other party's attitude. Before, without Chen Feng's help to support the situation, Lin Chaohua's attitude was very tough.
In the past, when my father was still in power, the other party did not say anything about fawning over him, but he was very good at showing off and always showed respect for him.
As a result, without the support of the old man, Lin Chaohua thought that with Dong Shanming as his backer, he somewhat ignored him.
Who said that most people in this circle are people who follow the trend and act according to the prevailing situation, but Lin Chaohua immediately turned against his new partner and became ruthless after finding a new partner. He is not the majority if he shows no mercy at all.
, but a decimal.
After all, everyone hangs out in the same circle, and we don’t meet each other when we look up, and as the old saying goes: Keep a thin line in your life so that you can meet each other easily in the future.
Otherwise, the other party may find an opportunity to retaliate in the future.
Therefore, Tao Yaoyang has quite a problem with Lin Chaohua. In his opinion, Lin Chaohua is a typical insidious villain. This time he helped Dong Shanming to get something done and completely offended him.
Before that, he hadn't found Chen Feng, nor had he completely broken up with them. On the surface, he could still maintain harmony with Lin Chaohua, but now that he had Chen Feng's support, he certainly didn't have to endure it anymore.
Especially now that Lin Chaohua has taken the initiative to ask for peace with him, of course he has to be polite and sarcastic, which is normal.
But Tao Yaoyang obviously overestimated Chen Feng's power to intimidate them, especially for Lin Chaohua. He initially dismissed the "terrible rumors" about Chen Feng, even though he was told by his brother-in-law that he wanted to shake hands with Tao Yaoyang.
He broke up peacefully, but when he heard Tao Yaoyang's sarcastic words, he couldn't help but get angry.
In the past, Tao Yaoyang relied on his family background and his status as executive director to give him a lot of advice as the general manager, and often interfered in some projects he led. He was treated completely as a subordinate, not to mention disrespecting him.
But at least it's not very respectful.
On the contrary, because of Tao Yaoyang's family background, Lin Chaohua could only tolerate Tao Yaoyang as much as possible.
But does he still need to be patient now? Obviously no. He also has a temper, and not only does he have the support of his brother-in-law, but also Dong Shanming. Why should he be afraid of Tao Yaoyang?
From Lin Chaohua's point of view, he no longer has to worry about Tao Yaoyang.
Therefore, Lin Chaohua also said very unceremoniously: "You seem to have a deep misunderstanding of me when you say such things. It's meaningless if I say anything more. My brother-in-law sincerely wants us to end with dignity.
But you must choose a dishonorable way, and I have no choice. Also, do you think the Chen Feng you invited can stand up to Dong Shanming and the Dong family? Haha, think about it carefully. After today
After that, the 50 million compensation we have given will not count. Just take care of it yourself."
Lin Chaohua's bossy words of warning made Tao Yaoyang so angry that the dog-like thing actually taught him a lesson.
Tao Yaoyang was about to curse, but Lin Chaohua had already hung up the phone. Tao Yaoyang, who was still driving, was so angry that he almost rear-ended the car in front of him.
nmp! I actually installed it for me. If it weren’t for your butcher sister, you would still be earning thousands of dollars a month.
Tao Yaoyang cursed in his heart for a while, but finally extinguished his anger.
For the time being, he couldn't do anything to Lin Chaohua, he could only wait for Chen Feng to use some tricks.
…
When Lin Chaohua called Tao Yaoyang, Mr. Chai, the largest shareholder of Hengshen Fund, was also talking to Dong Shan.
The two had known each other a few years ago. Of course, at that time, they were only casual acquaintances. They met a few times at some dinner party or cocktail party, and then chatted a few words at a dinner and exchanged contact with each other.
Way.
Precisely because of this kind of acquaintance relationship, after hearing about Dong Shanming and his father's job change and promotion at the end of last year, he began to look for opportunities to contact Dong Shanming again, and then made a special trip to the capital to organize a dinner to talk with him.
about cooperation.
Originally, Dong Shanming was not interested in financial investments. He was engaged in biomedical investments and made a lot of money. But after he found out that Tao Yaoyang was now the executive director of Hengshen Fund, he couldn't help but think of the time when he was beaten by Tao Yaoyang.
An old enmity with two slaps and a kick.
Originally, the other party also apologized to him for what happened back then, but he actually had forgotten a little about it. The main reason was that Tao Yaoyang's father came to him with Tao Yaoyang to apologize to him. At that time, Tao Yaoyang's father was still his father's boss, and he brought his son with him.
I came to apologize and even gave him an apology gift. It can be said that I have given him and his father enough face.
Even his father felt a little flattered at the time.
Therefore, the incident of him being beaten was already over at that time. Although he was still a little uncomfortable at the time, he gradually let it go.
After that, he went to live in the capital with his father, and gradually forgot about the fact that he was beaten by Tao Yaoyang.
It wasn't until this time that his father was about to get promoted and return to live in Xiuzhou, and Mr. Chai came over to fawn over him again. Only then did he know that Tao Yaoyang was actually Mr. Chai's business partner, and that Mr. Tao had also retired.
He hadn't asked specifically about it before, and he had somewhat forgotten Tao Yaoyang's revenge for beating him. But now that Mr. Chai came over and talked to him carefully, he couldn't help but remember it again, and it became clearer and clearer, making him unable to help but think about it.
Tao Yaoyang gritted his teeth again.
Back then, Mr. Tao brought Tao Yaoyang to the door to apologize, which was quite sincere at that time. Even if he felt unhappy, he could only endure it and gradually forget about it.
But now, what happened back then is a great shame and humiliation for him.
Can a door-to-door apology and a door-to-door gift worth thousands of yuan make up for the humiliation Tao Yaoyang did to him back then?
It didn't matter that he had no chance or hope of coming back with revenge before, but now the opportunity is right in front of him, and it was delivered to him personally by Mr. Chai. This can only be said to be "fate".
This is the revenge opportunity arranged by God for him. If he misses it, he will be rejecting God's kindness.
Therefore, he naturally made his request to Mr. Chai, asking him to join the Hengshen Fund. The prerequisite was that Tao Yaoyang must be kicked out, and his shares must be purchased at the lowest price, and then resold to him.
This prerequisite seems very simple, but Mr. Chai really didn't want to agree to it at first. After all, it would be too offending.
Although Mr. Tao has retired, he still has a certain degree of influence, and many of his former disciples are still employed.
Mr. Chai's business has been ups and downs for so many years, and the first principle for keeping the Hengshen Fund standing is to try not to offend people, especially those in the public sector, and the second is to make more friends.
Dong Shanming's request violated his first principle.
Therefore, at the beginning, he declined politely, saying that he could persuade Tao Yaoyang to withdraw, but he would not deliberately lower the purchase price of his shares.
Of course Dong Shanming was not satisfied with this, so the matter was put on hold for the time being.
After the Spring Festival, Dong Shanming's father officially took up his new job and came to work in Xiuzhou, and Mr. Tao also officially retired.
As a landowner in Xiuzhou, Mr. Chai naturally found an opportunity to organize a dinner party and invited Dong Shanming to attend.
This time, Dong Shanming was of course high-spirited and leering, enjoying the flattery and flattery of everyone. He drank too much when he was happy. He couldn't help but talk about his grudge against being slapped and kicked by Tao Yaoyang, and openly expressed it.
He said that he must make Tao Yaoyang look good and take revenge for being beaten and humiliated back then.
Then Dong Shanming told Dong Shanming that if he didn't cooperate, his company would never be able to make money safely in the future.
What can Mr. Chai do? After weighing the pros and cons, he can only instruct Lin Chaohua and Huang Desheng to start squeezing out Tao Yaoyang collectively, and then buy his shares at a lower price.
But now with Tao Yaoyang's resistance, such as bringing in an unknown person like Chen Feng to support him, Mr. Chai faintly felt that something was wrong.
Just as he had worried before, although Mr. Tao has retired, he is not dead yet. Some of his personal connections must still be there, not to mention old disciples. If these connections really come into play, Dong Shanming may be fine. After all, he has him
I am protecting you, but people like him and Huang Shengyue may be affected.
The two of them not only own Hengshen Fund, but also have other businesses and companies, but the personal connections behind them are really not as good as those of the Tao family.
Therefore, he really wanted to spend money to eliminate the disaster. Even if he spent an extra 100 million on his own, he still wanted to appease Tao Yaoyang as soon as possible and settle the matter.
However, he was also afraid that this would offend the young master Dong Shanming, so he had to communicate with him in advance and obtain his consent.
This was the purpose of his call to Dong Shanming this time.
He told Dong Shanming exactly what happened, and finally emphasized: "Although Mr. Tao has retired, he still has a lot of face, not to mention the old friends of his disciples, so it's best not to do anything wrong.
Otherwise, they are not really powerless to resist. Besides, your father has just come to Donghai to take up his new post, so you have to pay attention to the impact. After all, your father was also a subordinate of Mr. Tao before, don’t you think so?"
Dong Shanming couldn't help but fell silent after hearing these words.
He is not one of those mindless second generation people.
Although his father has really gained momentum now, he is still quite low-key despite his father's repeated warnings. It has been almost a month since he came to Xiuzhou, and he has only attended three dinner parties, except for the one organized by Mr. Chai
He slightly lost his composure at the dinner, but at the other two dinners, he was very elegant and did not lose his composure at all, let alone arrogant. Instead, he was very cultivated and humble. The outside world's reputation for his demeanor is quite good.
In addition, of course he knows that the Tao family is not completely a paper tiger now, it just doesn't have the glory and strength it once had. If they really offend the other party too much and start a fight, it won't look good on him or his father.
After all, as Mr. Chai said, his father did work under Mr. Tao before and was his subordinate.
In fact, there was nothing dirty between the two parties, let alone any real grudge. The matter of Tao Yaoyang beating him was actually over in the past, and his father may have even completely forgotten about it. Even he, the victim, was because of
I only remembered it after Mr. Chai mentioned it.
Therefore, if the outside world now hears that after his father took office, he tried his best to suppress the old leader, this reputation will not be good.
And the reason why he took revenge on Tao Yaoyang was not intentional, but a coincidence.
In addition, he never thought about offending Tao Yaoyang to death, otherwise he would not just lower the acquisition price. Although lowering the market price from more than 900 million to 600 million is a bit harsh, wouldn't he also be allowed to take away 600 million?
Paying two to three hundred million is just to avenge the beating back then and vent the bad breath in my heart.
If Tao Yaoyang accepted it obediently, or found a peacemaker with enough weight to mediate, and asked Tao Yaoyang to toast and apologize to him in person again, he would most likely let him go.
However, Tao Yaoyang was very stubborn and wanted to save face. He neither accepted the deliberately low purchase price nor found anyone to mediate. He did not even make a phone call to persuade him.
So, things are stuck here.
Now that Tao Yaoyang has made some moves, he invited this guy named Chen Feng to support him, and even went directly to the company to intimidate and threaten Lin Chaohua and Huang Shengyue. He also vaguely felt that something was unusual.
He knew that Tao Yaoyang was a rather arrogant person, and he was very reluctant when his father brought him to his door to apologize.
How could such a person randomly recruit someone to support him?
And Chen Feng should know that he, Dong Shanming, was involved in this matter, and he himself did not deliberately hide it, so who gave Chen Feng the courage to get involved?
If Chen Feng didn't know the details about Dong Shanming, he wouldn't believe it.
He had been thinking about this matter since he had just found someone to investigate Chen Feng's background.
The conclusion drawn is: Chen Feng should have some origins and background, otherwise Tao Yaoyang would not invite him over.
Then, this matter should be resolved as soon as possible. The longer it is delayed, it will not be beneficial to both parties. It can only be a lose-lose result.
After a while, when Mr. Chai couldn't help but speak again, Dong Shanming finally spoke: "Well, the purchase price can be increased to 800 million, but Tao Yaoyang has to serve me a drink to apologize. Well, at least three
Table wine, please invite a reputable person here to come over and bear witness."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Chai frowned and said tactfully: "I'm afraid he won't agree to this. I've known him for several years, and he is a very face-conscious person. He will not agree to such a shameful thing."
Dong Shanming took a deep breath and said coldly: "Then just one table, just one table of people. In addition to a few shareholders of Hengshen Fund, please invite a few prominent figures from Xiuzhou to testify. This
Is that okay? This is my final bottom line, otherwise, he won’t be able to withdraw his shares comfortably.”
Dong Shanming made such a request, not necessarily for revenge, but because he wanted to step on Tao Yaoyang and rise to the top in the top circle of Xiuzhou to let others know that he is not easy to mess with. This is not only beneficial to himself, but also beneficial to his father as soon as possible
Open up the work situation here.
Mr. Chai frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Okay then, I'll contact him later and try to convince him."
"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you and get it done as soon as possible. Otherwise, I won't be interested in your Hengshen Fund. Yesterday, another investment company also contacted me and gave me a generous offer that I couldn't refuse.
."
Mr. Chai was shocked and said quickly: "Young Master Dong, we have already agreed in advance. Don't worry, Tao Yaoyang, I will help you get it done as soon as possible."
"Well, I'm waiting for your good news, the sooner the better."
"Okay, I'll get it done as soon as possible."
…
It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, so Chen Feng did not go home, but drove to Lin Yujiao's place. After all, the two of them had not seen each other for a while, and he insisted on the principle of sharing the rain and the dew, so he definitely came to see her.
And at noon, Lin Yujiao also took the initiative to send him a WeChat message and asked her if she was free to go to her place for dinner in the evening.
Chen Feng thought about it and agreed.
Now I went to find her, which was considered ahead of schedule. It was a surprise for her, so I sent her a message in advance.
Of course Lin Yujiao was very happy and said she would go home and wait for him immediately.
By the time Chen Feng arrived at the East Lake Villa, Lin Yujiao had already returned and was busy cooking for him in the kitchen.
It is the specialty wonton from my hometown, which is different from the wonton in other places. It is made with seaweed egg skin and a little mustard. It is very delicious.
This kind of local specialty snack is not available in Xiuzhou. It is made by Lin Yujiao herself.
Chen Feng worked hard all day and was not polite. Not long after waiting, the wontons from his hometown came out of the pot. He ate nearly twenty of them in one go and finished a large bowl of soup beautifully.
Of course, the wontons in my hometown are generally not big in size and don’t contain a lot of fillings. Twenty wontons are not a lot to eat, even a child can eat ten or so.
After eating his hometown snacks, Chen Feng was in a good mood. He hugged Lin Yujiao and kissed her happily.
Then, Lin Yujiao said: "Mengyao contacted me and said she would come to stay at my place tomorrow. She said you agreed, right?"
Chen Feng nodded: "Yes, I agree."
In fact, Guo Mengyao didn't tell him that she wanted to live here this time, but since she told Lin Yujiao so, he could only help with it.
Lin Yujiao asked again: "Then should I pick her up at the airport? She said she didn't need to bother me and would take a taxi herself."
Chen Feng said: "I also asked her to take a taxi here, so you don't have to go there in person. Wouldn't it be a waste of time for you to go back and forth? It's not very close."
Lin Yujiao nodded: "Okay. Actually, it doesn't matter if you really want to pick it up. Anyway, there are people in my store watching over it, so it's okay."
Chen Feng asked with some surprise: "Do you have a good relationship with Mengyao now?"
Lin Yujiao was stunned for a moment, then said: "It's okay, after all, we are from the same hometown, and we are all from Linnan County."
Chen Feng nodded, stopped talking, and walked upstairs with his arms around her.
Of course Lin Yujiao knew why Chen Feng carried her upstairs. She glanced at him shyly but didn't say anything.
…
Tao Yaoyang held in his anger all the way and went to a nearby residence.
He is still unmarried, but he has two illegitimate children, a son and a daughter. Although two women helped him give birth to them, they can be regarded as having both children. Therefore, his family did not force him to get married.
Anyway, his parents have grandchildren, so he has fulfilled his duty as a son.
The residence he is going to now is a woman he met last year. She is in her thirties, divorced and single. She has a good personality and is not clingy. She is not very beautiful but has a very good figure. She also has a very good attitude. She speaks well and can make people happy.
He was happy both physically and mentally.
So, he was in a bad mood now, and since it was not far from where she lived, he thought of going to her place to relax.
Not long after his car arrived at this woman's community, Mr. Chai called.
Tao Yaoyang didn't want to answer the call at first, but Mr. Chai had a relatively good relationship with him before, so he hesitated and answered the call.
"Yaoyang, you see, it's hard for me to talk about this matter. After all, I'm in the wrong. But you know that Dong Shanming is very powerful now. He directly threatened me at the dinner last time. If I don't cooperate with him, he will let us
The company cannot continue to operate, and there is nothing I can do about it. The first thing I want to do when I call you is to apologize to you, and I hope you can understand my difficulties."
Mr. Chai's attitude was very low, and he took the initiative to admit his mistakes and apologize, which finally made Tao Yaoyang feel better, but he still said in a very unhappy tone: "Your attitude is not bad, at least you apologized. But before you
My brother-in-law’s attitude and tone were very bad. He said that the company was willing to give me 50 million to compensate me. Haha, it feels like giving me charity. Do I need the 50 million?"
Hearing what Tao Yaoyang said, Mr. Chai couldn't help but frown, feeling a little annoyed that his brother-in-law was unreliable. At this time, he definitely couldn't anger Tao Yaoyang, let alone get himself burned, but obviously his brother-in-law didn't do it, and he didn't make him angry either.
The meaning was conveyed well, which made him a little angry.
"Did he only say 50 million?" Mr. Chai asked solemnly.
"Yeah, 50 million, that's a lot of money? Haha."
Mr. Chai immediately became a little angry and said: "This Lin Chaohua is really a bitch. I clearly said I would give him 100 million, so how could he have the guts to give me half of it? I will settle the score with him later. Yaoyang, don't do it."
Angry, before I planned to personally pay you 100 million to compensate you. After all, I feel sorry for you for what happened this time. Later, Lin Chaohua, the grandson, said that the company should pay for it. I thought about it and agreed.
.
Yaoyang, you have to know that I have no grudge against you. I was just coerced by Dong Shanming, so I had to cooperate with him in lowering the price. Just now, I called Dong Shanming and talked hard, and he agreed to increase the price to 800 million.
But the condition is that you must put a table of wine and apologize to him. After all, you slapped him twice and kicked him, right?"
"800 million?" Tao Yaoyang was tempted, because the base price he had in mind before was 800 million. Chen Feng later increased it to 800 million, but he just asked him to serve Dong Shanming with wine and bow his head and apologize. He was totally unwilling.
"Is this guy too vindictive? What happened back then was originally a misunderstanding. My dad took me to his house in person and apologized to him. His dad and he both accepted my apology at the time. Everything was over.
It has already been revealed. Now he is actually bringing up old scores, does he still want to lose face?"
Mr. Chai really didn't know that Tao Yaoyang had apologized back then. After being stunned for a moment, he subconsciously felt that Dong Shanming was a little uncouth.
But now that I have gained momentum, he can only smile bitterly and say: "Yaoyang, for this moment, you should give him and me a face and smooth things over. Think about it, a few nice words and a glass of wine
An apology can be exchanged for 200 million, and you won't lose money on this deal."
