Secretary Cao waved his hand gently again, signaling Shen Dapeng to stop.
"Dapeng, don't speak one secretary at a time, it sounds weird."
When Shen Dapeng was stunned, Cao Xinmin chuckled and continued: "Besides, it's not my working hours now. Doesn't it sound a little awkward to call me that?"
Shen Dapeng was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "I understand, how about I call you Uncle Cao from now on?"
Cao Xinmin has always taken good care of him in the past few years. Because of Cao Mengyuan, his relationship with him is very delicate. Shen Dapeng has always respected Cao Xinmin.
Cao Xinmin nodded with satisfaction, "That's right, it doesn't look so raw now."
Shen Dapeng smiled slightly and poured Cao Xinmin and himself a cup of tea each.
Cao Xinmin nodded slowly, picked up the tea cup and took a few sips, then turned his eyes to Shen Dapeng's face again, with a look of admiration on his face.
"Dapeng, how should I put it? In fact, I have been optimistic about you for a long time. You are definitely not an ordinary person and you will definitely have a future. But I didn't expect that in just over two years, you would develop so much. It's really
I’m impressed!”
"You are young and you are already the chairman of the board. You have many companies under your name. Your strength should not be underestimated. I admire you!"
Shen Dapeng smiled modestly, "Uncle Cao, don't say that. What I have achieved today was not achieved by my own efforts. Without the help of these friends around me, I would not be where I am today."
.”
"No matter what, it is your unique vision and courage that have led to today's glory. Uncle Cao, I admire you!"
Cao Xinmin smiled and gave Shen Dapeng a thumbs up, with deep relief in his eyes.
"Thank you, Uncle Cao, for your compliment. I will work harder in the future." Shen Dapeng said gratefully and added some tea for Cao Xinmin. "Uncle Cao invited me out today. I'm afraid he didn't simply praise me, right?"
As a member of the Cao family, Cao Xinmin definitely knew about the Huang family's suppression of the Cao family, so he was looking for him at this time, probably because of the Cao family's affairs.
Cao Xinmin looked at Shen Dapeng with a faint smile, "You are really smart, nothing can escape your eyes!"
"Uncle Cao was joking. I will always remember the help that Uncle Cao gave me in the past few years. If Uncle Cao needs help, just ask. I, Shen Dapeng, am by no means a ruthless person. Uncle Cao has been so kind to me.
I have always been very grateful.”
When Cao Xinmin heard this, he gradually put away the smile on his face and looked at Shen Dapeng calmly.
"Dapeng, I already know about Meng Yuan. I know you are a good young man. Otherwise, she would not have gotten into such trouble with the old man!"
Shen Dapeng's eyes lit up when he heard this. The meaning of Cao Xinmin's words was obvious. He already knew about the break between the Cao family and the Huang family.
"Uncle Cao, Mengyuan is a good girl. To be honest, I have always liked her very much, and we have made an agreement to treat each other sincerely, but I have never told Uncle Cao. I hope you can forgive me, Uncle Cao."
Cao Xinmin smiled slightly and said: "Mengyuan is my daughter. What is she always thinking about? As a father, can I not know?"
Shen Dapeng was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled, "There is no better daughter than a father, so Uncle Cao has figured it out a long time ago?"
Cao Xinmin looked at Shen Dapeng meaningfully, "When we were in Honglin City, I had already sensed your feelings for Mengyuan."
Shen Dapeng didn't speak, just nodded slightly, and the night in Honglin City flashed through his mind.
Shen Dapeng and Cao Xinmin stood on the quiet street and talked for more than half an hour. From Cao Xinmin's words at that time, Shen Dapeng could already feel that Cao Xinmin had already seen his feelings for Cao Mengyuan, but maybe he had some.
The concerns were not stated explicitly.
"I have long seen that you are sincere to Mengyuan, and Mengyuan also likes you. From the bottom of my heart, I hope that you two can get together."
Cao Xinmin sighed deeply, turned his head, and looked through the window at the busy street scene.
"You must know that things have reached this point, so there is nothing to hide. In order to develop, the Cao family has always relied on the Cao family. In order to maintain this relationship more firmly, the two families made a marriage contract.
After Mengyuan graduates, she will marry Huang Bin from the Huang family."
"The intention was good at the beginning, but as time went by and Huang Bin grew up, we realized that Huang Bin, a child who grew up in the Huang family, did not learn any good habits of doing things for others. He followed him all day long.
A bunch of wealthy young men have learned a lot of bad habits."
When Cao Xinmin said this, he couldn't help but sigh, "This kind of person who only knows how to enjoy himself is not to mention that Meng Yuan doesn't like it, even I hate it when I see him!"
"And you are completely different from Huang Bin. You have ambitions at a young age, you are calm and measured, and you are very capable. You have also studied with Mengyuan. You two love each other, and I am very happy.
"
"It's just that because this agreement concerns the future of the Cao family and the Huang family, as juniors, we dare not go against the old man's wishes, so there is nothing we can do. I know some things in my heart, but I have no way to tell you."
Shen Dapeng couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "Uncle Cao, I know your situation, and you are also in a very difficult situation. When we were in Honglin City, some of the things you said to me that night were limited and not fully explained, but
I have already guessed what you are thinking."
"I think everyone, at that time, had the same idea as you, right?"
Shen Dapeng felt that no matter who he was, he was related to the rise and fall of the entire family on the one hand, and the future happiness of his children on the other. It was really difficult to choose between the two.
Cao Xinmin nodded sympathetically and said with emotion: "Dapeng, you are very smart and can figure out the key."
"Now that Mengyuan has grown up and has her own opinions and ideas, she has chosen you. From a personal emotional point of view, I feel very happy, but you also know that I am a member of the Cao family after all. Mengyuan now makes a decision
With this choice, the old man almost fell out with me."
"I heard from the old man when I came back this time that the Huang family has severed all cooperation with our Cao family because of this incident. Now the Cao family has reached a very difficult point."
Shen Dapeng smiled lightly and said, "Uncle Cao, I already know about this matter."
"You, you already know?" Cao Xinmin looked at Shen Dapeng in surprise, as if he didn't believe it.
Shen Dapeng nodded, "Yes, the capital is big or small. The Huang family is well-known in the capital anyway. If there is a little trouble, how can you not know?"
