Cao Ying was stunned. "Dad, how can I change the family's decision? Uncle has always been the one making the decisions on family matters. Obviously, Grandpa also acquiesced to this matter."
"It's very simple. Just work hard. One day, if you show more ability than your uncle, I believe your grandfather will support you to be the head of the family." Cao Jianjun encouraged.
Cao Ying opened her mouth wide, speechless for a moment.
After a while, she murmured, "Isn't this too crazy? And the possibility of success is too low."
"Are you so lacking in confidence?" Cao Jianjun frowned. "I know your abilities best. You've made tremendous contributions to the Cao family's current strength over the years. In this generation, you and your second brother are the most capable and we have high hopes for you. Why can't you surpass him?"
Cao Ying was slightly moved.
"But now that they've come into contact with Xiao Jian, their relationship with the Shenlong Group is bound to break down. In the ensuing melee, can Tang Xiaobao win?"
Cao Jianjun said without hesitation: "If I really have to choose, of course Tang Xiaobao will win."
"Why?" Cao Ying's eyes lit up.
"Because I trust him." Cao Jianjun said, "Because he is Tang Xiaobao."
Cao Ying smiled bitterly. This reason seemed really far-fetched.
Cao Jianjun asked: "Do you think he will lose?"
After thinking about it, Cao Ying was a little surprised: "It seems that I also think he will win. Maybe it's because I want him to win."
"As long as you want it, you can definitely do it. I will support you, and your second uncle will support you too. One more thing, they found Xiao Jian just to use each other, but you still have Chen Mengyao and Tang Xiaobao behind you. As long as you make your position clear, they will definitely support you with all their strength."
"Will it?"
"Yes, I trust Dad." Cao Jianjun said seriously, "I understand Tang Xiaobao. I'm a man, and he likes you, too. As long as you're willing to take the initiative, you two might become lovers. Everything needs to be done first. If you set limits on yourself before you do anything, nothing will succeed."
Cao Ying blushed and said nothing.
Cao Jianjun continued, "You are my only daughter, and I want you to be happy. The reason I asked you to work hard is because I want you to be happy and blessed. At the moment, I am more optimistic about Tang Xiaobao. Many people only see the support of the God of Cookery and Princess Alice behind him. In fact, his own abilities are often easily overlooked. But his greatest strength is definitely not who stands behind him, but that he himself is amazing. He is a miracle worker. From his rise to now, it has been less than a year, but look at what he has done. Think about it, which of them can be accomplished by an ordinary person, but he has done it. Doesn't this prove the point?"
Cao Ying's eyes brightened.
"Go back!"
Cao Jianjun knew he had convinced his daughter and smiled, "Your second uncle will be back tomorrow night. If you go up the mountain, you might run into him. I believe he and I share the same ideas. As for your grandfather, don't expect him to give you a clear opinion. I know him best. Don't think that just because Tang Xiaobao saved him, he'll definitely side with Tang Xiaobao. For him, the future of the family is the most important thing. He may not be able to see the future clearly, but he's an adventurer at heart."
Cao Ying nodded: "Dad, thank you."
"What are you thanking me for? You are my daughter." Cao Jianjun said kindly.
…
Everything happened as Cao's father and son had expected. The bidding for the Bawan Expressway project ended, and Cao's Group was excluded by Ma Ming as expected.
Ma Ming subcontracted the project to four road construction companies. After nearly half a month of preparation, funds, equipment and personnel were all in place, and the project was finally about to start.
The focus of everyone's attention.
The people in Bazhong, especially those in Tongjiang, were very excited.
The start of construction of the Bawan Expressway means that Tongjiang, an old revolutionary base, finally has its own expressway.
Travel is more convenient, and local specialties can be exported to other provinces and cities, which is naturally a great thing.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony was held in Xinwen Township, where the highway is connected.
As the exclusive investor of the project, Tang Xiaobao is naturally indispensable.
In fact, Tang Xiaobao was reluctant to cut the ribbon, but Chen Mengyao said that since Tang Xiaobao was now personally managing the company, he had to attend. He would have to deal with the government more in the future, and no matter how successful a businessman was, he had to give the government face. Moreover, he had just acquired more than 100,000 square meters of land from the government, and the favor was still there. If he didn't go now, it would be unreasonable and unkind.
In desperation, Tang Xiaobao had to accept the invitation.
The big boss of Shenlong Group attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony with Shen Mengyao. The government did not dare to neglect them. Early in the morning, the new municipal party secretary Wang Gang and mayor Xiong Hanlin were already waiting at the temporary guesthouse in Xinwen Township.
After exchanging pleasantries, Tang Xiaobao and Shen Mengyao, along with their secretaries, entered the guesthouse with Mayor Xiong.
The hall was decorated with several rows of large sofas. After everyone sat down, Mayor Xiong started chatting enthusiastically with Tang Xiaobao.
"Mr. Tang, Mr. Shen, on behalf of the government, I would like to thank you for attending today's ribbon-cutting ceremony. Secretary Wang Gang went to greet two comrades from the province, so it is my job to entertain you. It is said that thousands of people came to the ribbon-cutting ceremony, most of them are from Tongjiang, and many media outlets, including provincial TV stations, have also come. Look, the weather is pretty good today, it's what we call good weather, haha." Xiong Hanlin said with a smile.
They all knew each other. The last time we acquired the land, it was thanks to him. Tang Xiaobao had a good impression of Xiong Hanlin. In his opinion, Mayor Xiong was very decisive.
