Seeing his son's expression, Old Master Tang was very pleased.

Little brat, I've finally found a way to deal with you.

She responds better to gentle persuasion than force!

“Father, those are all things you like, so please keep them. I'll handle the money myself,” Tang Qian said. “When I earn money, whatever you want, I'll buy it for you and take good care of you.”

"Alright, then I'll wait for you to make your fortune," said Old Master Tang. He wasn't interested in eating and drinking, but he did enjoy playing with antiques and calligraphy.

He is also an expert in the field, and over the years he has acquired some treasures.

"A son keeps his word," Tang Qian said, hoping to work hard to be filial to his parents and never let them worry about him again.

Seeing his son's attitude, Old Master Tang finally reminded him: "Tang Qian, doing business is fine, and sometimes using some means and power is also allowed, but you must remember that you can't be unforgiving when you're in the right, you can't bully others by relying on your power, and you can't get involved in murder cases."

At their level, there are certain methods that everyone tacitly approves of. After all, most people do it this way. If you don't, you're considered unsociable and will be ostracized.

However, once you're embroiled in a murder case, you can hide it for a while, but you can't hide it forever.

You have to understand that there are no secrets that stay hidden forever, especially for people in high positions like theirs. If someone doesn't want to investigate, no secret is untraceable.

When you're in power, you might escape punishment; but once you lose power, or if you get in the way of a greater force, those things will be exposed, and you'll be hit hard. Even if you don't get shot, you'll probably spend the rest of your life in jail.

This is a bottom-line issue.

It is also a fundamental principle for survival.

"Yes, Father, there are rules and regulations in business. I won't do anything to harm anyone, so you don't need to worry." Tang Qian had been working in the business world for several years and naturally understood his father's meaning.

This is also why he didn't get angry when He Tiantian confronted and scolded him.

You should strive to prove yourself, but offending people is unacceptable.

"That's good. If there's anything you can't handle, you can ask your older brother or sister for help," said Old Master Tang. "However, if you want to secure this deal, you'd better get closer to the second branch of the Huo family."

"Yes, I went to apologize and get acquainted with the place last time. I'm planning to take some things and visit Huo Yingjie when I have some free time," Tang Qian said. Although He Tiantian might be the one in charge, Huo Yingjie is He Tiantian's husband.

Given his past reputation as a playboy, if he directly approached He Tiantian and was misunderstood, wouldn't he offend the Huo family and lose such a good opportunity?

He was very impressed when he first met He Tiantian.

When I saw it for the second time, I had some thoughts.

But later, Tang Qian realized that He Tiantian was not someone he could touch at will; he could only try to get along with her without worry.

Furthermore, he has now figured it out: as long as you have money and power, you can have any kind of woman you want!

Now I'm thinking about making a comeback, and as for women, I'll find someone after my career is stable.

After that, Tang Qian began to collect information and inquire around, and learned that the person who came was Qi Zhenghan and Qi Zhengmin, the largest shareholders of Fuxi Auto.

Tang Qian also found out that He Tiantian was helping out. Although he didn't see the cars, given the joint venture's technology, they shouldn't be too bad.

Most importantly, you can buy it if you have money!

No need for all that complicated proof.

Having figured these things out, Tang Qian took his father's two bottles of special-supply liquor with him, then rode his old-fashioned bicycle to Mao'er Hutong.

Huo Yingjie was in the yard, using crutches to stretch his body and joints. Two children were playing games nearby, and he was watching them.

Grandma Wang, having nothing else to do, helped pick vegetables, occasionally glancing up at the two children not far away.

"Yingjie, what has Tiantian been busy with these past few days?" Grandma Wang asked. Last semester, although He Tiantian had to attend classes and run the shop, she spent a lot of time at home.

This semester, there are also three days of classes a week, but Tian Tian is always busy outside, and sometimes she doesn't even go home for dinner.

Huo Yingjie was also somewhat frustrated; he regretted supporting He Tiantian's car dealership venture. However, his objections were futile; the shares already belonged to Tiantian.

Huo Yingjie understood that He Tiantian was extremely protective of her own things and was determined to do them well.

Making money is fine, but making He Tiantian lose money is more painful than cutting off a piece of her own flesh.

"Hehe, it's just business," Huo Yingjie said. "I can't help much, so thank you for your hard work."

"Yes, Tian Tian is such a hardworking girl. We are so fortunate to have such a good life at home," Grandma Wang said. "If you were just a politician, you wouldn't be living such a good life. You only have a fixed salary, which isn't even enough to cover the family's food expenses."

Huo Yingjie affirmed this point.

However, with the Huo family involved, He Tiantian can do business with peace of mind. As long as she operates with integrity, there will be no problems.

The various government departments won't cause trouble, and no thugs will come to disrupt things.

Just as Huo Yingjie and Grandma Wang were talking, someone rang the doorbell at the Huo family's door.

Old Guo, who was sweeping the yard, hurried to check the door. Seeing a young man outside, he asked, "Comrade, who are you looking for?"

Tang Qian smiled and politely asked, "Hello, uncle, is Huo Yingjie home? I'm Tang Qian, and I'd like to tell you I have something I'd like to talk to him about."

Seeing that Tang Qian didn't seem like a bad person, Lao Guo said, "Wait a moment. My husband isn't feeling well and is resting at home. Let me ask him if it's convenient for him to see you."

Old Guo opened the door and let Tang Qian in first.

There's a small room next door, specifically for people to sit while waiting. It's elegantly decorated, and there are fruits, magazines, and other items placed around it.

Sigh, the Huo family's established rules and traditions have become quite ingrained.

At the very least, he was willing to wait here.

I hope today's trip wasn't in vain.

Old Guo entered through the second gate and found Huo Yingjie, saying, "Sir, there's a man outside named Tang Qian who wants to see you. If you don't want to see him, I'll tell him you need to rest and ask him to come back another day."

Huo Yingjie raised an eyebrow, somewhat curious.

Tang Qian?

Didn't this person apologize?

Why would they come back?

Since there's nothing else to do, Huo Yingjie nodded and said, "Okay, let him in."

Huo Yingjie stopped moving and sat on the stone bench, which was covered with a thick cushion, and there was also a tablecloth on the stone table.

Tang Qian followed Lao Guo in.

"Hello, Yingjie!" Tang Qian said with a smile. Although Tang Qian was a little younger than Huo Yingjie, he was a generation older than Huo Yingjie according to seniority, and was of the same generation as Huo Zhegan and Huo Zhekun, so it was normal for him to address Huo Yingjie by his name.
