"Dad, things are not what you think. I will give them both a name and will not favor one over the other. Especially Sister Qingqing. She is the one I miss the most. In the future, I will do my best to make it up to her." Tang Xiaobao said, "I already have some ideas about how to proceed. Don't ask too much for now. When you have time, comfort Mom and tell her not to worry too much about me."

Tang Qingshan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Okay, I won't ask anymore. You should handle your own affairs. But Qingqing has had a hard life, and she's a very good girl. You can't let her down. We must be conscientious."

"Okay, I get it, Dad. Come on, let's have another drink." This time, Tang Xiaobao took the initiative to pick up the cup.

Soon, Wu Chunmei and Wanru prepared several dishes.

Seeing that the wine on the table had been quite a bit drunk, Wu Chunmei took the bottle and placed it on the partition to the side, saying, "You guys are really getting excited. Drink less, and that's enough for tonight."

"I'm just finding something interesting in this drink." Tang Qingshan complained.

Wu Chunmei glared at him: "Hey, you're really excited? Are you going to rebel?"

Tang Qingshan tapped his fingers and shook his head: "You women just can't understand us men. Forget it, I'll give in to you."

Tang Xiaobao winked at his mother: "Dad has drunk too much."

Eat and chat at the same time.

Wu Chunmei asked, "Why are you back?"

"Didn't I tell you last time?"

"Have you said that, Old Tang?" Wu Chunmei asked.

Tang Qingshan said, "I've already said that. By the way, son, did you really drop out of school?"

Seeing his parents' disappointed looks, Tang Xiaobao said, "No, I just took a long vacation. I'll just go to the graduation ceremony when I graduate."

"Is this possible?" Wu Chunmei was incredulous. "Can I take more than four years of leave?"

"Okay, the principal agreed personally." Tang Xiaobao said with a smile, "Don't worry."

"Okay, okay, we won't ask about your affairs anymore." Wu Chunmei helped Wanru with some food: "Come on, Wanru, you must be hungry. Eat more."

Wanru was still a little shy, but not good at expressing herself, so she just kept eating.

But Wu Chunmei was too enthusiastic. After a while, the bowl was still full, so she had to ask Tang Xiaobao for help.

Tang Xiaobao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Mom, don't be so enthusiastic. If you continue like this, Wanru will cry."

"Ah? What's wrong?" Wu Chunmei was still puzzled.

Tang Xiaobao shook his head and smiled bitterly, took Wanru's bowl and scooped half of it into his own bowl.

"Mom, I'm your own son, you can't do this to me."

Tang Qingshan also glared at his wife: "You, you, forget it, I don't even want to say anything to you."

"Hey, you're so talkative now that our son is back? Are you really going to die?" Wu Chunmei glared at her husband.

Tang Xiaobao and Wanru laughed secretly.

After dinner, Tang Qingshan took a box of tea from the cupboard and made a cup for Tang Xiaobao: "Try it. This was sent by Secretary Yuan from the county. I heard it's quite expensive."

Tang Xiaobao took a sip and pursed his lips: "I don't think it tastes anything special, it just tastes like tea."

Tang Qingshan also laughed: "That's right, I didn't think it was anything special, you're not kidding me, are you?"

"That's not the case." Tang Xiaobao said with a smile: "By the way, have they been here again recently?"

"The secretary came once, saying he was bringing tea, but in fact, he was trying to get you to invest in your hometown. Our county doesn't have a highway yet. The Tongwan Expressway has been talked about for years, but the project has never started. I heard it's difficult to bid for it."

Tang Xiaobao nodded. "Yes, our county also needs a highway. This is the site of a revolutionary base, and we have so many local specialties and rich resources. However, the inconvenient transportation has seriously restricted the development of local industries."

"You don't really want to invest, do you?" Tang Qingshan warned, "Don't do anything rash. So many foreign bosses are unwilling to invest after inspecting the business, thinking the payback is too difficult or too slow. Furthermore, the investment is said to be worth tens of billions. They're really trying to take advantage of you."

Tang Xiaobao thought for a moment and said, "If this can really help develop local tourism resources, I'd be happy to be the unlucky party. How about this? I'm planning to stay here for a long time and see if I can do something for my hometown. This is also an opportunity. I'll discuss it with Sister Shen in a couple of days and see what she says."

"It's not about what she says, it's about what you say. She has to listen to you." Tang Qingshan frowned and said, "Your idea is not wrong. Dad is not such a selfish person. I have advised you to do more for your hometown, but this is more than 10 billion, which is not a small amount. Where can you come up with so much money?"

Tang Xiaobao didn't dare to say that he was already a billionaire. He smiled and said, "Let's find a way. Although the road construction may take a long time to recoup the investment, it will eventually pay off. Besides, we can get a loan from the bank, so we won't lose money. Don't worry. However, I really need to discuss this with Sister Shen. At least we should show her respect. She is the one who manages the company now, and she also needs to be in charge of the funds."

"Okay, I don't understand these things, so I'll just remind you not to act impulsively." Tang Qingshan said, "By the way, how is your relationship with Mr. Shen?"

Tang Xiaobao was stunned: "Very good."

"What do you mean good?"

Tang Qingshan asked hesitantly, "Just tell me, do you have that kind of relationship with her?"

"Not yet." Tang Xiaobao was embarrassed and felt a little uncomfortable.

Tang Qingshan thought for a moment and whispered, "Then you have to take it down quickly. I can see that she seems to be interested in you. Now she is helping you run the company. You trust her so much, so you have to be more cautious when doing things."
