Chapter 194 Inspection
Chapter 194 Inspection
Xu Mingyuan was not capable of doing anything earth-shaking, and he also thought that vows of eternal love were too hypocritical.
Talk about ten thousand years is too fake. Once the hormonal rush has worn off, it would be good enough if you can last seven years relying solely on love.
But if Tao Shuxin likes to hear it, he will say a few words against his conscience to make her happy.
The little girl is always sentimental. Whenever she sees someone confessing their love by placing candles in the playground or downstairs of the dormitory, she will be very moved.
Then she quietly complained to Xu Mingyuan that he didn't say anything to express his love, but just kissed her until she was confused. How annoying...
Xu Mingyuan was speechless. He was thick-skinned and didn't care, but the little girl was as thin-skinned as a piece of paper. What she feared most was being roasted over the fire.
When Tao Shuxin learned that Xu Mingyuan was also planning to buy candles or something, she would panic and tell him not to do that, and that it was enough to just have the intention.
It fully demonstrates the hypocrisy of saying one thing and thinking another.
Xu Mingyuan knew clearly that the little girl just lacked a sense of security and was somewhat anxious about gains and losses.
Of course, this is not Tao Shuxin’s fault.
She always believed that she couldn't stand the separation between them at the beginning and forced Xu Mingyuan to make his attitude clear. Otherwise, how could she know what the result would be?
Xu Mingyuan didn't know how to explain it, so he just threw her a real estate certificate and let her play with it.
From then on, Tao Shuxin finally behaved herself. She held the big red book in her arms all day, wanting to share it with others, but she was afraid that the matter would be exposed and she would be beaten by her mother, so she held it like a hot potato.
……
New Year’s Day is approaching, which is the busiest time for the company.
Not only is it the peak season for business, but we also have to prepare year-end reports and, more importantly, welcome inspections from major city leaders.
Xu Mingyuan is usually elusive, and the partners and district leaders all let the public relations department handle them, and then there is Yao Jianhui.
The next level up was entrusted to Tao Changming. Anyway, he was familiar with Jiangcheng and was also one of the major shareholders of Sailing Technology. Xu Mingyuan would never let him just take shares without doing anything.
Xu Mingyuan himself was too lazy to deal with all these personal connections. He worked in the asset-light industry anywhere. If the local people did not treat him well, he would just move the factory away.
But it is impossible for Xu Mingyuan to stay away from showing up all the time. The leader’s presence is a gift to him, and one should always understand something in a society where human relationships are important.
"The exam is almost here, why did you call me here?"
Tao Shuxin complained, but her eyes kept looking out the car window.
"Your father asked you to come here. Do you think I want to take you with me? If you keep dawdling like this, I would have wanted to leave a long time ago."
"I'm a little girl! I need to change clothes. Who can just wash their face and go out like you?"
"Just fool around, we know each other." Xu Mingyuan said with a yawn.
Hearing Xu Mingyuan's words, Tao Shuxin's face fell. She had dressed up beautifully today, and it would have been fine if he didn't praise her, but he actually complained that she was dawdling!
"How do you like my outfit today?" Tao Shuxin asked pretending to be indifferent.
"It looks good."
"Hey! You didn't even look!"
Tao Shuxin was very dissatisfied. She was woken up by Xu Mingyuan's phone call early in the morning. He didn't even have time to look at her along the way. He had the nerve to be perfunctory in front of her.
Xu Mingyuan turned his head while walking straight ahead and saw her lips were light red. He said with a little surprise: "Oh, you put on lipstick?"
"Huh, you just discovered it?"
Tao Shuxin pursed her lips and felt happy.
"Then don't kiss me. It's not good for others to see your lip marks."
Today's occasion is relatively formal. This little girl is a bit nervous and likes to assert her sovereignty. She might sneakily rub her lips on his face.
"Great! Xu Mingyuan! Remember what you said!"
Tao Shuxin took a deep breath and her face turned red.
"Ha, I'm just kidding. I don't care even if you take off my clothes in front of your dad." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"Don't try to provoke me. I can see who you are. You just want me to get beaten, right?"
Tao Shuxin rolled her eyes, guessing Xu Mingyuan's bad intentions...
There were two rows of flower baskets and two plates of firecrackers at the main entrance of Sailing Technology.
The red carpet was rolled up and had not yet been laid out.
But the banner has been hung up, with a line of big yellow characters on a red background: Warmly welcome senior leaders to visit and guide us.
Xu Mingyuan slowed down the car, honked the horn as a greeting, and drove into the yard.
“It doesn’t look that big.”
It was Tao Shuxin’s first time to visit the factory, and he looked around curiously.
"Not big? That's not small. Do you think any company is as big as your father's factory that covers thousands of acres?" Xu Mingyuan said. Chemical plants are asset-heavy, and they mainly produce ethylene-based plastic products, which occupy even more land. There are countless people who make a living from chemical plants upstream and downstream.
However, the small amount of shares that Tao Changming holds alone is far less than what he earned from Sailing Technology. He just has a wide network of contacts, which looks very impressive.
The senior management of Sailing Technology are mostly young people around 30 years old. The new generation of management is cracking down on ostentation.
Xu Mingyuan didn't take this seriously either, so when Tao Shuxin came here, she didn't feel the kind of excessive attention she felt in her father's company.
It was only when someone passing by enthusiastically called her "boss" that Tao Shuxin realized that the boy next to her was already extraordinary.
Xu Mingyuan brought Tao Shuxin to the office, gave her a brief introduction, took a suit bag from the hanger, sat on the sofa and started to change clothes.
"Do you read all the books? Why buy so many? Hey! What are you doing?"
Tao Shuxin walked around, pressed the table and squeezed the chair. When she turned around, she saw Xu Mingyuan taking off his pants. Thinking that this was his territory, her eyes immediately widened.
"Why would I look at this thing? It's just a decoration, bought by the previous factory manager. If you like any book, just take it away."
Xu Mingyuan was speechless. He ignored the little girl with a strange train of thought and took off his sweater and trousers.
There will be a small meeting later, and then at 9:30 in the morning we will welcome the leader to visit. The whole morning is full of things to do and there is no time to waste.
He changed into a black and gray pinstripe suit. He didn't wear a tie because he didn't want to bother wearing one. His shoes were also black leather flat cotton shoes. He just needed to be dressed modestly.
Tao Shuxin sat in the boss chair and had no interest in reading anymore. She bit her nails unconsciously and stared at him changing clothes.
Xu Mingyuan's usual behavior was different from that of a freshman. Now that he had put on a proper suit, he looked more mature, a bit like a young man of twenty-three or twenty-four years old.
Xu Mingyuan felt that he was being stared at closely, and when he looked up he saw Tao Shuxin looking at him with watery eyes.
"Ahem." Xu Mingyuan held his temper, pulled the hem of his suit, stamped his shoes, and said seriously, "You! Come here! Tidy up my clothes."
Tao Shuxin was startled, squinting his eyes and slowly walked over to him, reaching his fingertips into his clothes, twisting his waist through his shirt, snorting and saying, "Look at your behavior, why are you pretending to be so high and mighty?"
Xu Mingyuan is young after all, and is far inferior to his father. He can fool young girls who are naive about the world, but he is definitely not afraid of Tao Shuxin.
But the little girl still helped to tuck in the corners of his clothes and straighten his trouser legs.
Compared with boys, girls actually like to talk about the opposite sex more. After all, they are taking ideological and political classes in college, and boys will start talking about politics on the keyboard while chatting.
Tao Shuxin was just a little silly, but she was not an elegant girl either. She would think about all sorts of things every day. If Xu Mingyuan didn't take any action, she would take the initiative to approach him.
Seeing the different Xu Mingyuan at this time, Tao Shuxin's heartbeat slightly accelerated, and she couldn't help but pull his collar and rub the lipstick marks on his face.
"Oh, I knew it would be like this." Xu Mingyuan sighed.
"Don't be so rude after getting an advantage..."
Contented, Tao Shuxin took out a tissue and helped wipe it.
"Hey! Are you disgusting? There is mineral water on the table."
Seeing that she couldn't wipe it off, she started spitting on the tissue and tried to rub it on her face. Xu Mingyuan quickly dodged.
"Why are you being so pretentious? Humph..." Tao Shuxin complained with a red face.
I usually wipe off the marks on my hands by accident like this. It's just a subconscious action...
Tao Shuxin unscrewed the bottle cap and dipped it in water, then used a tissue to wipe the lipstick off his face.
dong dong dong...
There was a knock on the door.
"Enter."
"boss."
The person who came in was Yao Jianhui. Although he saw a girl in the office, he did not show any surprise and all his attention was on Xu Mingyuan.
"Well, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Tao's daughter." Xu Mingyuan said casually.
"Are you Mr. Tao's daughter? Nice to meet you, Miss Tao."
Only then did Yao Jianhui turn his attention to her.
"Yeah, hello." Tao Shuxin nodded repeatedly.
In her father's company, all the uncles and aunts called her niece, but here she was given a formal title, which made Tao Shuxin feel a little proud.
I happily stepped forward and shook hands, feeling like a little adult myself.
