"Dad, no, I've dealt with all the cases by my side. I'll be back soon. We'll fight side by side … Everything will be fine. " Lei Zichen looked at his father with determination.

"Haha, good, good. My good son, tomorrow we will go to Tao Tian. We will let go of the project for the Fourth Ring Road …" Lei Haotian said to Lei Zichen.

"Father, why is this? We have already poured a lot of effort into this, wouldn't it be a pity to let go at this time? If we don't have a company to work with, we can slowly find one! " Lei Zichen looked at his father in confusion.

"Give the Tao family some sweets. Hopefully, Tao Weiguang will not make things difficult for our Lei Family like this in the future. Even if, for the sake of the past, we can make it up to him."

"But father, are we afraid of that old fox?" Lei Zichen's feelings towards the Tao family were very complicated. When he thought of his father's predicament, he could not help but hate Tao Weiguang.

"Ah, Zichen, there are a lot of things. Daddy will find a suitable opportunity to tell you about them and that will be it. "Alright, you're tired too. You should get some rest." As Lei Haotian spoke, he turned around and returned to his bedroom.

"Father?"

Lei Zichen's mind was still filled with questions. Forget it, perhaps, in the near future, all of these questions will be resolved one by one.

This morning.

Ling Jia Hao was currently in Master Tao's office, intensely discussing his plans for the next step.

"Right now, the Lei Family has already been rendered breathless by these consecutive blows. If we continue to work hard …" "Hmph." Ling Jia Hao smiled sinisterly, as if he had already picked the fruit of his victory.

"Young master Ling, what's your next plan?" Old Master Tao probed.

"Next up, it's time to put our West Mountain project to good use. This way, a large number of investors will be taken over by us, and we can make the terms a bit more favourable so that those small companies that have already lost their confidence in the North Fourth Ring High Tower can come to our side …" Ling Jia Hao's words were like spittle flying from his mouth.

"Well, that's what I think, too. What about your Ling family? Apart from the help provided by the media, it seems like Young Master Ling mentioned about the collaboration on funding last time. " Master Tao said in an indifferent tone.

"Haha, Master Tao, this is something else. Of course, we are here as well. Aren't I here to discuss the details of our cooperation with you?" Ling Jia Hao's facial expression changed slightly, but quickly returned to normal.

The most difficult to deal with was naturally that old fox, Tao Weiguang. His Ling family had high hopes for the beauty and the money, and did not underestimate Master Tao.

"Oh? Young Master Ling, please tell us the details of your cooperation. " Tao Weiguang still had a beaming smile on his face, and he looked more like a killing knife that was intangible.

"Master Tao, regarding our cooperation, I think it's like this …" Halfway through his speech, someone knocked on the door. It was none other than Tao Weiguang's assistant, Ning Zhiyuan. He was about the same age as Tao Ran and was also a good brother.

By this year, has worked for the Tao family for a long time, is the Tao family indispensable benefit assistant.

"Master Tao …" Ning Zhiyuan was about to open his mouth to speak, but seeing Ling Jiajhao sitting beside him, he fell silent.

"Oh, Old Master Tao. If you have something to do, you should take care of it first. We've almost finished discussing it today. As for the details of the cooperation, I'll deliver it to you another day …" Seeing this, Ling Jia Hao also tactfully stood up and left.

"Zhiyuan, what's the matter?" Master Tao turned to Ning Zhiyuan.

"Master Tao, I just received a call from Lei Haotian. He said that he wants to visit us tonight because he has something important to discuss …" Ning Zhiyuan transmitted the contents of Lei Haotian's call word by word.

"Visiting you? Is there something you need to talk to me about?" "A trace of craftiness flashed across Tao Weiguang's face." Lei Haotian wanted to end the game so quickly. If there's no way, then I want to see just what tricks he can come up with. "

"What time did he say?" Tao Weiguang asked.

"Six o'clock at night. I've already agreed to step down."

"Good. Tonight, we will meet Lei Haotian." Tao Weiguang said this with a fierce look in his eyes, but he quickly restrained himself.

In fact, Tao Weiguang could be considered a rare person. There were very few corporations like him that still held power in the company at the age of seventy. Other consortia would basically retire at home with a monthly share of the shares, and live happily, while he would still do everything by himself.

Furthermore, he did not feel tired at all. He was full of vigor and vigor all day, not even looking like an old man in his seventies. No wonder people would joke that this old monster could live to 200 years old.

At six in the evening, Tao Weiguang and Tao Ran would be in the living room of the Tao family mansion, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Lei father and son. Tao Tian normally didn't get involved with the business of the Tao family. Because it was the Lei family, he was forbidden from coming here by his grandfather.

Time slowly passed. Soon, under Ning Zhiyuan's introduction, Lei Haotian and his son Lei Zichen arrived at the living room of the Tao family.

The pottery mansion was an old mansion, in the middle was the living room that he used and the living room that he lived in, next to the middle, the shorter houses on both sides were for meeting the guest living room, different living rooms for different types of guests.

Today, Tao Weiguang chose He Yuxuan. This reception hall looked simple and solemn, and the surrounding walls were hung with all kinds of ancient paintings. Most of them were treasures Tao Weiguang had collected from the world.

The walls were carved with simple patterns, dragons or phoenixes, totems that signified success, and there was no place that did not reveal Tao Weiguang's ambition to dominate the entire business community.

The tea table used for the guests was a carved root with an antique look.

The light was just right, not too bright, not too yellow.

"Mr. Lei, it's been a while. I should have gone to see you, but you personally came to visit." Seeing Lei Haotian arrive, Tao Weiguang stood up and politely shook his hand.

The two of them had been together for a long time. Meeting in such a normal manner made the situation a bit awkward.

"This is the young master, right? Haha, we've met before. He is truly handsome and extraordinary." Tao Weiguang looked at Lei Zichen, who was at the side, and praised.

Lei Zichen was wearing a dark blue suit with a dark grey plaid shirt. He was formal, but not too stiff. The close-fitting shirt accentuated his robust figure.

Lei Zichen only politely nodded towards Tao Weiguang, but didn't say anything. He just looked around.

Thinking that this was where Tao Tian lived, Tao Tian's home, Lei Zichen couldn't help but feel a sense of awe in his heart. He sniffed the air with all his might, as if he was trying to find some trace of Tao Tian's scent. What Lei Zichen was thinking about made sense. We're talking business, and he's just a little girl, what's the point of getting involved? She's so confused, and thinking about the first time we met, Lei Zichen couldn't help but smile.

Suddenly, he recalled the scene from yesterday, and the successive changes that had occurred to him today, and the smile on his face once again vanished.

Lei Zichen's face instantly changed a few times. Others might not notice, but it didn't escape Tao Ran's eyes. How could he not care about this man that captivated his little sister?

"This kid, what are you thinking about?"

The two elders exchanged pleasantries as the two juniors stared at each other, one thinking wildly while the other was staring with all his might.

"Haha, Master Tao is too polite. No matter what, I am still a junior. It is only right." Lei Haotian politely replied.

"Quick, sit down, Mrs Liu. Hurry and pour some tea." Tao Weiguang greeted the father and son duo.

"Master Tao, there's no need to trouble yourself. I did indeed come here today to discuss something in detail with you. If you don't mind, I will just say it out loud." Lei Haotian was sitting across from Tao Weiguang, looking directly at him.

"I know that for more than twenty years, because of your son, daughter-in-law, and grandson's matter, you have always harbored hatred in your heart towards me. But have you ever thought that your son was the one who interfered and was able to marry Hui Xin? As for your grandson's bloodline, I can responsibly tell you that it's your biological grandson." Lei Haotian spilled everything he had been suppressing these past few days.

The corners of Tao Weiguang's eyebrows twitched. In the past twenty years, no one had ever dared to mention the events of that year to him in such a straightforward manner, as well as the hidden pain in his heart.

"Mister Lei, you didn't come here today to talk about the old days, right?" Tao Weiguang tried to change the subject.

"Our two families have fought for so many years. This time, our Lei Family has indeed been defeated. I don't want to fight anymore. I'm old now. There are some things that I don't want to fight over anymore. Let him do it." Lei Haotian looked a bit sad.

Lei Zichen subconsciously reached out to shake his father's hand. Recently, Lei Haotian's constant adoration of his father had caused Lei Zichen to feel very upset, and the conversation between his father and Master Tao had also caused him to be at a loss. Wasn't that his mother's name? What does it have to do with the Tao family? He only remembered that his mother had left him when he was very young, as if she had taken an older brother with her. These were just vague memories. After so many years, no matter how many times he asked his father, his father wouldn't tell him.

"Your mother really loves you. She really loves you …"

Of course, those who didn't know what was going on were not only Lei Zichen, but also Tao Ran. Tao Weiguang had always been especially fond of Tao Ran since he was young.

His intention was to nurture him into a successor. Anything had to be handled together with him. On one hand, he had to exercise, and on the other hand, he had to know what a CEO should know.

"Hui Xin? Isn't this the name of my grandfather's daughter-in-law, my foster mother whom I have never met? " After so many years, grandpa only said that his son died in an accident …

His daughter-in-law had gone missing along with his grandson, but she had never told him about this reason. Naturally, Tao Ran had no way of knowing.

What exactly was going on?

"Oh? Mr. Lei is joking. This old fellow doesn't even feel old, yet you already started to feel old. " Tao Weiguang did not directly respond to Mister Lei's words. Before he could figure out if Lei Haotian was being nice or evil, he decided to first 'fight Taiji' with him.

Master Tao, Western Mountain's project is progressing like a raging fire. Many companies that withdrew their funds from the Northern Fourth Ring Project have expressed their willingness to cooperate with you. Lei Haotian ignored Tao Weiguang's useless words and continued with his own topic.

"Mister Lei is praising me too much. It's just that this place can still be considered spiritual. It hasn't completely aged yet." Tao Weiguo pointed at his own head. It seems like Lei Haotian's main point is about to come.

"Indeed, as a junior, I am willing to admit defeat. The Northern Ream Real Estate is in a dire situation right now. If we were to rely solely on our own strength, it would be difficult for us to come back to life." Lei Haotian faintly said, but he couldn't conceal the sorrow in his voice.

"Uncle Lei, what do you mean?" Tao Ran was the first to ask.

"Ran, why are you so anxious? Let your Uncle Lei finish." In truth, he also wanted to ask this question. Could it be that Lei Haotian wants to cooperate with us? Become friends with an enemy? Impossible, this enmity is irreconcilable, it can't be resolved just like this.
