Chapter 1279 Daddy's Way: The CEO is Here: Without Me, You Are Nothing!

"Lu Tao, say yes!"

Hua Zi and the others couldn't hold back any longer and started jeering, "We've only ever heard of setting a success standard and exceeding it to win, but we've never heard of setting a success standard and not exceeding it to win!"
"Lu Tao, you're guaranteed to win this time!"

Lu Tao's expression kept changing, but he still didn't agree immediately.

Logically speaking, this is indeed not difficult.

After all, He Chen's statement was very clear and actionable.

A top graduate in architectural design from Tsinghua or Peking University, with a resume showing the kind of success that comes with two and a half years of experience after graduation—that should be inspiring and motivating enough.

No matter how arrogant he is, he can't say for sure that he's better than someone like that!
Moreover, He Chen's setting was that he only needed to be no stronger than the other party, but could be the same as them.

This means that if he is talented enough and works hard enough, he can become a successful person in the traditional sense after two and a half years.

Following this process, even if He Chen had malicious intentions to hinder his efforts, he wouldn't be considered a complete failure.

But he still didn't want to agree.

But he couldn't say why he was unwilling to agree to the bet.

Otherwise, He Chen would easily mock him again, saying he's a woman and still thinking about female-style struggle, that he'll ascend to immortality through struggle and can't stop, and that he should wait for the average person to struggle.

"That's enough!" He Chen deliberately stopped Hua Zi and the others from making a fuss: "Actually, I'm putting Lu Tao in a difficult position!"
I know that!

After all, whether Lu Tao likes it or not, he will definitely face various temptations from powerful figures in the next two and a half years!
How many people could resist an elixir that's within easy reach?

Chang'e should regret stealing the elixir, the blue sky and the blue sky and the heart of every night.

But this is a mortal's shallow idea forcibly replacing Chang'e's idea of ​​ascending to immortality in one step after consuming elixirs.

Chang'e probably never regretted stealing the elixir!

Furthermore, Lu Tao didn't steal this elixir; rather, his father, the CEO's father, insisted on feeding it to him.

"He's having such a hard time!"

"Stop talking. What will happen if I lose?" Lu Tao couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted He Chen, saying these things that he subconsciously didn't want anyone to know.

If he weren't worried about losing again like before, he would have agreed immediately.

"Nothing's needed!" He Chen explained, "Just don't complain about me anymore. After all, strong people never complain about their environment!"
You always talk to Hua Zi and the others about me.

But like Uncle Lu, I genuinely want what's best for you.

If you can't accept this, then you might as well consider developing your career in Los Angeles or New York.

They are more accepting of the struggle of a man with a woman's heart!
Unlike in China, where there is still some basic public aversion and suppression towards men who strive for a woman's ideals, to prevent a minority from becoming the mainstream and causing social problems.

After all, if everyone relies on the strong, hoping to rise to power along with their cronies, then there will be no strong individuals left, and everyone will become nothing more than chickens and dogs!

"Stop dragging Lu Yaxun into this, I'm betting!" Lu Tao couldn't delay any longer and had no choice but to agree.

Since things have come to this point, if you don't gamble now, it means you're genuinely acknowledging He Chen's statement that "you are a woman."

Why the hell are you telling me to go to Los Angeles or New York to develop my career, but you won't let me go to Thailand?!

This time, unlike last time, he wasn't forced to go to Lu Yaxun for favors.

He Chen gave him enough room to grow. Even if his biological father wanted to cultivate him and force-feed him, he didn't have to open his mouth to the maximum. He could choose to eat a little selectively. As long as he didn't completely devour his biological father within two and a half years, he would win.

Even after all this, he still can't see how he lost!
It's impossible for his own father to disagree with this and insist on cooperating with He Chen, forcibly stuffing everything into his mouth and feeding him until he's stuffed.
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Of course, he wasn't entirely without worry.

Although he was unwilling to admit the slander He Chen had made against him, he had to ask himself honestly if his own philosophy of struggle—that kind of restless mindset that didn't want to build a foundation or work hard step by step, but only wanted to achieve success in one fell swoop—did really have a bit of the flavor of a woman's struggle.

The next day.

Just as Lu Tao was struggling with the toilet design at his desk, the company manager came to call him personally, took him and the company's best young designers out, drove to a building, and instructed them: "This time the client wants to hear more from the young people. This project is very important to the company, and you must win this project for me!"

Lu Tao agreed with great excitement.

He felt his chance had come!
True gold always shines!
The fact that he was called over by the manager alongside the most experienced and talented young designers from top-tier design firms in the industry already says it all!
This time, he relied on himself!

The first person he wanted to tell wasn't Xia Lin, but He Chen!

He wanted He Chen to know that no one could look down on him!

Women?
Damn, he's a man among men!

Just as he was forcibly suppressing his excitement and vowing to seize this opportunity to prove himself, the customer's car arrived.

When he saw the car, his heart sank.

Because he recognized the car; if it wasn't his father Xu Zhisen's van, whose was it?
屮!
Did He Chen guess right again?
The car drove up.

Assistant Jimmy got out of the passenger seat first, opened the car door for his boss Xu Zhisen, and welcomed him out of the car. Then he followed his boss toward Lu Tao and the others.

Jimmy, the assistant, looked at Lu Tao with a complicated expression, and his own feelings were also complicated. He was thinking about his boss's previous loss of composure and reaction.

When Lu Tao chose to leave his biological father, Xu Zhisen, and find a job on his own, Xu Zhisen was furious and lost his temper, smashing his water glass.

"This is my only son, my only relative. He ran off to a design company. How will he inherit my business?"

Who can tell him how to be an owner?
He would rather be employed than be an owner!
Confused!

Jimmy, find me a project manager for the Youth Home right away. I was originally planning to have him take the job.

Now I want him to know that he will lose a lot if he leaves me!

Without me, he is nothing!

He must come back to me!

You must come back to me!!!

Jimmy was deeply moved and envious by these words.

In other words, as the boss's assistant, he couldn't reveal these words to Lu Tao in private, otherwise, if he told Lu Tao these words, Lu Tao might have a heart attack.

Because of these words, he used to only feel angry when he heard them. What does his own father take him for?

A child?

He's an adult now and has his own freedom!
But now, after He Chen's analysis of "Dad said the CEO fell in love with me," he couldn't look at those words the same way anymore.

Because at first glance, it sounds just like a melodramatic soap opera plot where a domineering CEO demands that an ordinary female lead treat him perfectly according to his wishes, giving him everything, only to be rejected by the female lead in the name of freedom or something.
