Tian Xiaojun walked to the living room dejectedly and sat down across from Tian Shunliang.
Tian Shunliang glanced at his disappointing son and said angrily, "Why are you so depressed? Weren't you very good at causing trouble? You've lost all your face! How can I go back in the future? "
"Dad! I … "Tian Xiaojun opened his mouth and stopped talking.
"Just say what you want to say!" Tian Shunliang said angrily. "I don't have time to play riddles with you!"
"Oh …"
Tian Xiaojun lowered his head and recounted everything that had happened in the past two days from beginning to end. He didn't even dare to hide some of the details. Like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube, he spilled everything.
When Tian Shunliang heard Tian Xiaojun say that he was forced to squat by the wall for half a night in the cold winter, he couldn't help but feel sorry for his son. But when he saw Tian Xiaojun's face, he couldn't help but snort and say, "You deserve it!"
"Tian Xiaojun, do you know what you did wrong?" Tian Shunliang asked.
Tian Xiaojun lowered his head and said, "I shouldn't have had any ideas about the Taoyuan Company …"
"Bullsh * t!" Tian Shunliang swore. "You were wrong to be the first one to stand out! You didn't understand the situation and acted rashly! You think you're the only one who's well-informed? Why is it that everyone else is slower than you? Why did you rush to the Three Mountains in such a hurry? "
Tian Xiaojun lowered his head and said, "I know …"
"You don't know!" Tian Shunliang said. "You must be unconvinced! Do you feel that you were unlucky this time and kicked an iron plate? "
Tian Xiaojun didn't say anything, but he did think so. According to common sense, when he went to the Three Mountains last time, he was almost sure that there wouldn't be any accidents, but it just happened.
Tian Shunliang snorted and said, "There's bound to be accidents! Did you do any research before you made such an impulsive decision? Don't tell me that you checked the business registration information. That information is useless! "
Tian Xiaojun opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Tian Shunliang said everything he wanted to say, so he closed his mouth obediently.
"Do you think that even if you investigate the Taoyuan Company, you might not be able to find any useful information?" Tian Shunliang asked.
No one knew a son better than his father. Tian Shunliang knew his disappointing son quite well.
Tian Xiaojun nodded and said carefully, "Dad, this Xia Ruofei is too good at hiding …"
"Nonsense! Then you've been blinded by money! " Tian Shunliang said mercilessly, "Even if you can't find out about his relationship with Family Song and the Zhao family, can't you find out about what this person did in the three mountains? What's the use of the contacts I left in Southeast Province? Since you've decided to go to the Three Mountains to do this, why didn't you ask for more detailed information in advance? "
Tian Xiaojun was speechless. He was indeed blinded by money. He had no way to refute Tian Shunliang's words.
Tian Shunliang glanced at Tian Xiaojun with an exasperated look and continued, "After I heard about this incident today, I spent an hour making calls in the afternoon and found out some information. I'll tell you about it …"
Tian Xiaojun wasn't interested at all. It had already happened. What was the use of analyzing it now?
However, he didn't dare to refute his father. He could only sit on the sofa obediently and listen.
Tian Shunliang said, "The boss of the Taoyuan Company, Xia Ruofei, has a close relationship with the former Secretary of the Three Mountains, Tian Huilan. Tian Huilan has personally helped him solve his problems many times. She even dealt with a deputy director of the county's Public Security Bureau because of him! What's more memorable is that after Tian Huilan was promoted, her successor, Song Qiming, still looked at him favorably. Song Qiming even invited him to have dinner at his house. Song Qiming's daughter also introduced him to many children of important department leaders in the Three Mountains and Southeast Province … "
When Tian Xiaojun heard this, his heart was slightly shaken.
Liu Zhe had once reminded him that Song Wei and Xia Ruofei had a very good relationship. He actually knew about the last thing Tian Shunliang said, but he didn't take it seriously.
Now that he thought about it, it wasn't that Song Wei and Xia Ruofei had a good relationship. It was that even Song Qiming valued Xia Ruofei very much. If Tian Xiaojun had known about this, he wouldn't have acted rashly.
Even if he didn't take the local officials seriously, Song Qiming, who was a deputy minister with real power, was already at the top of the pyramid structure in Huaxia. His influence was definitely not limited to a small corner. Tian Xiaojun didn't dare to provoke him.
Thinking of this, Tian Xiaojun couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If he had paid more attention to Liu Zhe's warning and asked his father's old subordinates and colleagues for more information, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
Tian Shunliang looked at Tian Xiaojun and continued, "You should know about the Tian Huilan and Song Qiming's situation, right? With the information I just gave you, as long as you analyze it a little, you can basically infer that Xia Ruofei and Family Song's relationship isn't ordinary! This is the information I gathered in a very short period of time. If I were you, I would definitely spend more effort to gather information before going to the three mountains, then decide on the next step! But you didn't do anything. This is more disappointing than the trouble you caused … "
Tian Xiaojun said with a face full of regret, "Dad, I was wrong …"
Tian Shunliang sighed and said, "Xiaojun, I'm old, and there's almost no room for development. I'm already burning incense to be able to get the benefits of a deputy minister before I retire … But you're different. You're still very young, and you're already a deputy minister. Your future is limitless! If you're always so immature, how can I be at ease? "
Tian Xiaojun said in a low voice, "Dad, I'm sorry … I'll change!"
At this time, Tian Xiaojun's mother, Zhou Shumei, came over with a plate of washed fruit and said, "Old Tian, don't say so much! Xiaojun doesn't feel good right now! "
Tian Shunliang stared at her and said, "Xiaojun became like this because you spoiled him!"
Zhou Shumei slammed the plate of fruit on the coffee table and said, "How can you say that? Xiaojun isn't your son? Don't you know that it's the father's fault if the son doesn't teach him well? "
Tian Shunliang was speechless for a while. After a while, he said angrily, "I'm talking to my son about something serious! Why are you interfering? Is the food ready? I'm starving to death! "
Zhou Shumei rolled her eyes. As she walked to the kitchen, she muttered, "You only know how to teach this and that. Can't you talk nicely …"
Tian Shunliang's face turned red and white, but he could only pretend that he didn't hear anything.
After Zhou Shumei went back to the kitchen, Tian Shunliang continued, "Xiaojun, from what you said just now, this matter is considered over?"
"Yes! As long as the one million donation is received, I think Xia Ruofei won't make things difficult for me anymore … "Tian Xiaojun said.
Tian Shunliang nodded and said, "You made it up in time. A real man knows when to yield and when to stand tall. This setback is nothing!"
"But Xia Zhe and Zhong Zixin are giving all kinds of excuses. They don't want to fork out the money …" Tian Xiaojun couldn't help but say.
Tian Shunliang snorted and said, "I'll call Old Xia and Old Zhong. The trouble was caused by the three of you. Why should you bear it alone? Don't worry, they won't dare to go too far! "
Tian Xiaojun was slightly relieved and said, "Thank you, Dad!"
Although he was reprimanded, it wasn't necessarily a bad thing if his father knew about it. After all, father and son were connected. At least he had a strong helper on his side.
Tian Shunliang continued, "I'll tell your cousin to donate one million to the Taoyuan Charity Fund in the name of Yongsheng Company …"
"Ah?" Tian Xiaojun couldn't help but cry out, "Why! Dad, there's no need for that! Brother Gang doesn't have much money … "
Tian Xiaojun's cousin, Tian Xiaogang, opened a trading company. Under Tian Shunliang's care, it was a small success. However, the whole company only had ten to twenty million in assets, and this was including some fixed assets. If he were to donate one million at once, the liquidity might be a little tight.
Tian Shunliang's face darkened and said, "What do you know! Is this the time to worry about money? Besides … How did Xiaogang earn so much money? He knows it in his heart. If I asked him to donate one million, would he dare to not listen? "
"No … Dad, I mean we don't need to give any more money. One million is already a lot for the three of us!" Tian Xiaojun said.
"You're short-sighted!" Tian Shunliang said mercilessly, "Xia Ruofei offered one million, and you only gave one million?"
"That's free money! Who would take the initiative to give more? " Tian Xiaojun muttered, "Besides, Zhao Yongjun is a witness. They definitely won't go back on their word …"
"Yes, they won't do anything to you, but one day, when they think about it, they'll do something to you. Who are you going to reason with?" Tian Shunliang said, "Especially when you're at the critical point of promotion and important position. If they do something like that to you, what will you do?"
"It shouldn't be that bad, right?" Tian Xiaojun hesitated.
"This possibility can't exist!" Tian Shunliang said, "Your future is the most important. Everything else is dispensable! Money can be earned again, but if your future is ruined, you'll be like this for the rest of your life! So now, you have to do your best to please Xia Ruofei. Even if you can't become friends with him, at least you have to leave him the impression that you're sensible, have a good attitude, and are sincere in admitting your mistakes. Only in this way can you completely eliminate the hidden danger! "
"Okay then …" Tian Xiaojun nodded and said.
The older, the wiser. He still had confidence in his father's judgment. Besides, he wasn't using his father's money. As long as the result was good for him, why should he go against his father?
"Also, the three hundred thousand that you're supposed to pay, you have to gather it as soon as possible!" Tian Shunliang said, "This money will be from your salary and legitimate savings. If it's not enough, you can borrow some from your friends. In short, you have to know where it came from!"
Tian Xiaojun knew the key points, so he said without hesitation, "I know, dad. I was going to do that …"
"Mm!" Tian Shunliang nodded and said, "You're not too stupid! But you have to change your impulsiveness in the future! "
"I will, dad. Just watch my performance!" Tian Xiaojun was obedient this time.
Tian Shunliang rubbed his temples and showed a trace of tiredness. He said, "Okay! This matter ends here. During this time, remember to keep a low profile and be honest. Don't leave any evidence for others! "
