Zhutian: Since I was a child, I have been happy to be a father

Magic City.

Rainy days are quite poetic, but the lingering plum rain will inevitably make people's travel somewhat inconvenient.

Of course, no matter how inconvenient it is, everyone has to go out and earn money.

Shenzhen Maoming Bank's Shanghai Branch is located in the core area of ​​Lujiazui and is an ideal location for many recent graduates.

As the deputy branch president and head of the Binjiang Road branch, Zhao Hui also enjoys a certain degree of popularity in the industry.

But in the past six months, his family seemed to have encountered some problems. Even the middle and lower-level staff in the bank felt that he was a bit elusive.

The top management knew clearly that Zhao Xing, a man of outstanding ability, was busy taking care of his daughter's eye disease, and inevitably he slacked off at work.

But then again, Zhao Xing has made many contributions to the bank since he became vice president at the age of 35. Can he still not be allowed to accompany his daughter to see a doctor?
Besides, he is very capable. He can accompany his daughter for treatment while flying back to handle work. After all, he doesn't have to worry about endless clerical work like little Kalemi. He only needs to negotiate the general direction of the business. In this way, he can naturally accompany his daughter and work at the same time. It's just that he has to travel back and forth between New York and Shanghai frequently, which is more tiring.

He also has a backer, Dai Qiye, who is the branch manager.

In an apartment near a private hospital in New York.

Zhao Rui took a glass of orange juice and walked to Chen Tao: "Dad, here."

Don't get me wrong.

Chen Tao is not a sugar daddy, and this Miss Zhao Rui is by no means a poor little girl who cannot afford the high tuition fees and has to sell herself. Instead, she is his biological daughter in this identity.

He looks good, but he has a serious congenital eye disease. There is no corresponding treatment in the country, so he can only spend a lot of money to come to Yingzi for treatment.

But her father, Zhao Hui, is a fairly honest bank president and cannot easily afford millions of dollars in medical expenses.

It was not until Brother Tao, who has always been blessed with good luck and the golden rule, traveled through time and space to replace Vice President Zhao that the girl's eye disease was truly cured.

Since the Spring Festival, her treatment has basically been completed. Although she still has to wear glasses for myopia in the future, it is much better than before.

When she was receiving treatment before, her eyesight was so poor and she didn't want to disturb her busy and tired father, so she had to hold it in some nights.

Chen Tao also breathed a sigh of relief. He never liked trouble. If this girl couldn't cure her eyes and became blind, he would inevitably have a headache.

He took another sip of orange juice and continued to stare at the computer screen.

In order to come to the United States for medical treatment, he sold the house that Zhao Hui had worked hard for many years to buy in Shanghai at a low price. With the help of his savings and his own good luck, he used some more or less correct information and got tens of millions of dollars very smoothly. Otherwise, how could he get such medical resources?
Medical treatment is very expensive in the United States.

But when it comes to rare diseases, there is a reason why they are expensive. Because they are rare, the investment is not low, but the market is extremely small. How can the cost be reduced? You can only sell everything you have, but ordinary people can't afford it. Millions of dollars, tens of millions of RMB, just go blind!
Zhao Hui is in a difficult situation in the play, but he does have the ability to do so because he can monetize the power in his hands, but this will inevitably dirty his white shirt.

Of course Chen Tao is not afraid of getting dirty, but getting dirty will bring trouble, so he might as well just cheat and make some money.

Who knows the plot and future trends? According to the plot, he also invested a lot of money in Jiaxiang Industrial, a stock that has been tossed around by both long and short parties.

This U.S.-listed stock can be said to be an important beginning of the plot of "The City Within a City", a financial workplace drama which is actually not that hardcore.

Jiaxiang Industry's mine in South America was in operational crisis due to the rebellion, and international capital giants saw the opportunity to short sell.

Dai Qiye is a very good friend of the boss of Jiaxiang Industry. It was because of his care and support that the company became the industry leader. Now, in order to prevent international capital from taking it away, he is prepared to violate regulations and get 1 billion yuan to help out.

Obviously, this battle between bulls and bears was won in the end. After the bears were defeated, the stock price more than doubled. Chen Tao estimated that he could earn several million dollars, which could cover his daughter's medical expenses.

But Xie Zhiyuan, who was secretly serving as a funding channel for Dai Qiye, actually made some money by short selling behind his back, and then went long to pull the stock price back up, making the most of both ends.

But when the stock price was at its lowest, he finally couldn't hold on anymore, he suffered a heart problem, and was involved in a serious car accident, dying on the spot.

Of course, nothing has happened to him yet.

Nor did he call Chen Tao to ask him for help before making the illegal loan.

It's no use even if I hit him.

Even Zhao Hui, his good disciple, was unwilling to help him. How could Chen Tao, who had no relationship with him, possibly help?
Is it comfortable to find a mentor and a mentor's wife to pressure you? As for without his backing, does Chen Tao have no hope of becoming the president of the Shanghai branch and working tirelessly to improve the financial industry? I'm very sorry, Chen Tao's awareness is too high!

He doesn't have to become the president of a bank before he is willing to devote himself.

Moreover, to be honest, Zhao Hui has done all the work for him. Since he became the vice president at the age of 35, he has worked diligently and devotedly to projects in the past ten years. At the same time, he basically does not care about personal gains and losses. He has made great contributions to Shenzhen Mao Bank. What else is there to wait for? If the higher-ups do not allow him to be the president, can they blame him for not violating regulations to approve projects and not having a backer?

That’s good enough!
After fighting for so many years, it is time for Chen Tao to rest on Zhao Hui's credit and enjoy himself for him: continue playing music and dancing!
That's right.

Because the famous actor who played Zhao Hui had a disco scene that left a deep impression on Chen Tao, he also grew his hair longer, combed it back, and even smoked a cigar. I have to say, he looks quite like Zhao Hui.

But his body shape is different. Even Zhao Rui, who has poor eyesight, thinks that his father's body shape is outrageous now. In the past six months, his physical condition has improved to level four.

I____ invincible.

Chen Tao is a good man. He improves his physique through exercise and definitely does not engage in any evil practices like silver party.

In other words, he had always kept his promise to a beautiful girl who had been married to him for twenty-five years and had given birth to a bunch of sons like pigs, but who had just taken the college entrance examination two weeks ago, that he would "definitely remain a virgin for her."

This is the fact, please believe Brother Tao!
He is not a scumbag, he is just a little too sentimental.

Chen Tao took another sip of orange juice and said to his adopted daughter, "My shoulders are a little sore."

Zhao Rui was always in a bad mood because of her mother Li Ying's death and her own illness, but she is not a filial daughter. Now her mood has improved as her condition has improved, and she is naturally willing to get close to her father who is no longer busy with work and has a lot of time to accompany her. So she understood his spirit and massaged his shoulders and back.

That's very pleasing.

In fact, in the original novel, this girl likes to chase stars. Who is she chasing? Signed by Wu.

But this is a TV drama version, and Wu has already signed his name and is now behind bars, so it is naturally impossible for this girl to pursue him anymore.

But I still chase other stars.

Chen Tao was unwilling to bother and let Yuanyuan educate her in the future. As for Zhou Lin who looked exactly like her mother?

Chen Tao would not want a middle-aged woman who was left over from a businessman and had a baby, and she had bad intentions. What a bullshit relationship, whoever cares is an idiot, he is not Zhao Hui.

***
July 18th.

(Tao Wuji, one of the main characters in the play, made a house purchase schedule ending in March 2017, but his new mobile phone will not be available until 2021, not to mention the new energy vehicles everywhere. So why not just adjust it to 2023! Don’t add the position of secretary before the president. Anyway, this crappy play doesn’t stand up to scrutiny.)
The rainy season ended in Shanghai last week, and now the sun is shining brightly, and it seems very hot and humid again.

That evening, after completing all the formalities, Chen returned to the Magic City with his adopted daughter whose eye disease had been cured.

As it was too late, Zhao Hui's relatives and friends, such as Wu Xianlong or Miao Che from the East China Audit Department, were not notified and they spent the night in a hotel near the airport.

Tomorrow morning, he will attend Dai Qiye's memorial service.

That’s right, Dai Qiye is still dead.

This is not surprising.

Whether he lives or dies has nothing to do with whether Zhao Hui persuades him or not. It is because the pressure he is under is too great to relieve, so he climbs the mountain until night before returning. This is also the time when bulls and bears are playing against each other. When the stock price reached the lowest point and was about to rebound, he couldn't hold on, and the car was destroyed and he died.

Chen Tao did not remind him, nor was he obliged to do so, as he was playing a racing game with his stepdaughter and easily won the bet on the massage service. He then sent a text message to the Queen, telling her that it was not convenient for him to go to her for the time being, and that he would choose an opportunity to surprise her after she started school.

During the chat, Chen Tao described himself as a handsome man who is rare in heaven and almost impossible to find on earth. This aroused the Queen's curiosity. I hope she can hold back when they meet!
This is not to say that Chen Tao looks ugly now.

He looked like a middle-aged man in his 35s or 36s, with a gentle and refined temperament, and he looked much younger than his 40s. But he was completely different from the pretty boy he described himself.

The next day, afternoon.

Outside the memorial service.

After parking the "Yuhuang Emperor" new energy version and getting out of the car, Zhao Hui's college classmate Su Jianren came up to him, looked at Chen Tao, and couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Old Zhao, what's going on? Is it true that the air in America is more fragrant and sweeter, and that it makes you feel younger? I'll go and take a few breaths when I'm free!"

He is the deputy president of the Binjiang branch and a playboy. He is very much in love with Zhao Hui's deceased wife Li Ying. Later, he fell in love with Zhou Lin and became a bootlicker.

Go to Ohio and breathe vinyl chloride!
Chen Tao said sternly, "Excuse me, what kind of occasion is this? If you smile so frivolously, what will others think?"

Su Jianren said unhappily, "Why can't you tell good from bad! You've changed so much, is it okay for me to care about you? I was wrong, you haven't changed, you're still the same, pretending to be serious all day long, as if someone owes you five million, it's really boring!"

Chen Tao snorted: "Just don't think I owe you anything!"

Su Jianren paused when he heard this, knowing that he was talking about Li Ying, and felt uncomfortable.

Brother Tao always likes to see the uncomfortable and defenseless expressions of the bootlickers, which is more interesting to him than watching comedies.

Xie Zhiyuan, who got off a white Bentley Flying Spur, hurried over after seeing them. Naturally, he also expressed his admiration for Chen Tao's youth, slicked-back hairstyle, and changes in his temperament.

Chen Tao was not too polite and said very straightforwardly: "I have also learned about Jiaxiang Industrial's affairs. Dai Xing's accident is closely related to this matter. Maybe he provided funds to Jiaxiang in violation of regulations? Then which intermediary provided it through? I have no evidence, but I know it was Yuanzhou Trust."

Xie Zhiyuan's heart skipped a beat, but he finally admitted it directly:
"I say, Lao Zhao, do you think that Dai Xing was killed by me? I don't deny that the intermediary was indeed me, but Dai Xing's death has absolutely nothing to do with me! Even if I am worse than pigs and dogs, I would never harm him!"

He certainly didn't mean to hurt anyone.

After all, no matter what, President Dai, who adheres to the principle of "nine good and one evil" in his work and life, is easier to deal with than Zhao Hui. He is generally not stubborn and will not be swayed by any persuasion. Otherwise, how could he really be able to secure the position of the president of this branch?
He just wanted to make more money, and indirectly killed Lao Dai, it was an unintentional mistake. It was also Lao Dai's fault, wouldn't it be better to wash up and go to bed early in the evening? When he woke up, all the news was good news!

Chen Tao did not argue: "It has nothing to do with you, otherwise how could this memorial service be held? In the past six months, I have had time to think a lot, and I still think that we must stick to principles when doing things. Let's encourage each other!"

This means don't ask me for help.

Xie Zhiyuan was stunned for a few seconds, then nodded: "That's the truth."

Su Jianren was confused: "Can you two speak human language?"

Chen Tao ignored him and looked towards the roadside.

Miao Che has also arrived.

Miao Che is also Zhao Hui's classmate. He once worked at Morgan Stanley. His ex-wife's surname is Ma Li, and they have a daughter.

According to the divorce agreement, Miao Che has one and a half hours a week to video chat with his daughter, which is obviously very different from the original novel.

In the original novel, his daughter was named Miao Xiaohui, and was the girlfriend of another male protagonist, Tao Wuji. In this drama version, her name was changed to Tian Xiaohui, and of course she is still in a relationship with Tao Wuji.

Whether in the original novel or in the TV series, the relationship between Miao Che and Zhao Hui is quite good.

It was Ma Li who introduced Zhao Rui to seek medical treatment and helped her.

Since they have such a relationship and they cooperate in work, Chen Tao has of course more contact with him, so they have met more often in the past six months. Miao Che is not so surprised by his changes because he has already been surprised!
Miao Che asked with concern: "Old Zhao, are you short of money? How about you stay at my place for a while?"

He is also very nice to Zhao Rui, and he has no ulterior motive. After all, he is the absolutely righteous white shirt, very pure.

When Xie Zhiyuan heard this, he immediately took it seriously.

After Dai Qiye's death, who will take over his job?

The trust company he runs has to deal with banks.

The nonsense that Chen Tao had just said about sticking to principles was subconsciously thrown out of his mind.

The Godfather once said: I’ll make you an offer you can’t refuse!

He also wanted to give Chen Tao a favor that he couldn't refuse.

However, Chen Tao waved his hand and said calmly:
"I made a lot of money from stock trading. After paying off my medical bills, I still have more than $5 million left, which is enough to buy a house."

Miao Che and the others looked at each other, each with an expression of disbelief on their faces. (End of this chapter)
