Chapter 712: Meeting with the Boss
Speaking of which, this was Liu Lan's third time dealing with Tao Hejin.
In addition to the very unpleasant first meeting, at noon on the fourth day of the New Year, Tao Hejin hosted a meal for Liu Man, Yu Zhan, Song Junzhe and He Lushen. Tao Zhiwei was also present, but Tao Zhiyao did not come.
The main purpose of Tao Hejin's dinner was to apologize to them. Tao Hejin said that it was a misunderstanding on the morning of New Year's Day, and he was also embarrassed that family affairs had turned out like this.
He told the young people that from now on, Tao Zhiwei's marriage would be his own choice, and neither he nor Tao Zhiwei's mother would interfere with him. As for the Ji family's affairs, the Tao family and the Ji family had some disagreements and had completely cut off contact.
Tao Hejin's words were vague, but Yu Zhan and the other men had already guessed what was going on, but they knew it all but didn't say anything. They were the younger generation and were all businessmen, so they naturally talked and laughed with Tao Hejin, as if what happened that day had never happened.
Liu Lan only heard some of the details of the story from Yu Zhan. She felt that since Tao Hejin had apologized to her mother on the spot, there was no need for her to argue with an elder, so during the meal, she also toasted Tao Hejin with a small glass of red wine.
Liu Lan also noticed that Tao Hejin's attitude changed 180 degrees after he learned about Yu Zhan's identity, and he became more friendly to her. Perhaps it was because he had bought part of the shares of Yu Zhan's father's company. Without the Yu family, there would be no Jin Tao today.
But Tao Zhiyao held a grudge and always refused to communicate with his parents and avoided them. Tao Zhiyao now blocked all contact information of his parents and seemed to mean to never have any contact with them again. Tao Hejin and his wife regretted it very much and they wanted to mend the rift with their daughter.
Tao Hejin went to the villa two days ago, but was turned away by Tao Zhiyao. Only Shen Mozhen received him. Tao Zhiyao's attitude made Tao Hejin tough, and he decided to let his daughter go. He and his wife would not bow their heads and apologize to their daughter again. If they continued like this, where would his dignity as the head of the family be? He believed that time could dilute the conflict between parents and children.

"Who came up with the topic for the quiz?" Tao Hejin asked Liu Lan and Yu Zhan with a smile, his expression unusually kind.
"My friends and I thought of this together. They are the girls you saw that day," Liu Lan paused here, "and Sister Zhiyao, she asked five questions." In front of Tao Zhiyao's father, Liu Lan could no longer call Tao Zhiyao "Peach".
When Tao Zhiyao was mentioned, Tao Hejin's expression changed slightly, but he sighed and said nothing.
Tao Zhiyao was also present today. She was responsible for part of the videography work. Tao Hejin saw her just now, but she looked at him like a stranger. After the opening ceremony, Tao Zhiyao left, deliberately avoiding her father.
Liu Lan was not familiar with the two elders, so after exchanging a few polite words, she went to entertain other guests.
Huang Shiting came all the way from Hong Kong for the signing of the contract between Liu Man's company and the headquarters. Peter had never been to mainland China before, and he was worried that something might go wrong, so he came to receive them in person. Huang Shiting specially came a few days in advance to attend the opening ceremony. He arrived in the capital in the early hours of last night and rushed to the scene this morning. It was very hard.
It was worth it no matter how hard it was. As soon as he arrived at the opening ceremony, Song Junzhe took the initiative to greet him, which made him flattered. Before cooperating with Liu Man, his relationship with Song Junzhe was a bit like that of a tenant and a landlord. He had to curry favor with Song Junzhe. If nothing else, it was worth it just to reduce a little commercial rent. As a result, now he has the qualifications to communicate with Song Junzhe on an equal footing. He feels that signing a contract with Liu Man is the wisest decision he has made in recent years. He made money and gained connections.
So when he saw Liu Lan coming over, Huang Shiting greeted her enthusiastically.
The tea party didn't last too long. All the participants were busy, so it ended before noon. However, the guests had their own plans for lunch. He Huaguang took the initiative to invite Tao Hejin to have a drink; Qiu Jing invited Lan Xi and Wang Xiangqin to discuss cooperation; Liu Lan followed Yu Zhan and naturally had lunch with Song Junzhe and other young people.
