Chapter 68 - Closing the Door
After Xiang Chen Xi took care of everything, Tao Chu Liang made a firm resolution to finally turn his doubt into action.
Since the company was on annual leave, she had plenty of time to think about it.
By now, almost everyone had returned home and it was much easier for her to find someone.
The next day, Tao Chu Liang went back to his parents' house and opened up the documents in his father's study, one by one.
Most of these documents were already insignificant, but Tao Chu Liang did not gain anything from it. She happily discovered that the Taur Group had many relationships with companies, but the name Tao Jian Xin was rarely found among these contracts.
It seemed that back then, it was not that Tao Jian Xin lacked the ability, but that even his parents harbored resentment towards him.
After some research, and using his own memory, Tao Chu Liang picked out a few directors and directors who had a good relationship with his family, and prepared to pay them a visit.
The first person she planned to visit was the Chang Clan.
Although the Chang Clan's company wasn't big, it was still considered a rising star. As of now, business was getting better and better.
Before this, there had been a few major conflicts in the Taur Group, and all of them had been helped by the Chang Clan's company.
According to his father's diary, Boss Chang seemed to still be his high school classmate. From the looks of it, he seemed to be an old friend that he had known for many years, so he should be able to trust him.
After making sufficient preparations, Tao Chu Liang brought his New Year gift with him and headed to his usual home.
According to the address that Tao Chu Liang found, she got off the car and saw a resplendent little villa.
There were not many people who liked using gold to decorate the exterior of houses, Tao Chu Liang was a little embarrassed, this house of his looked like a nouveau riche no matter how he looked at it.
"Hello, my name is Tao Chu Liang. Before, I made an appointment with Mr. Chang and said that I would come to visit today." Tao Chu Liang said politely to the person who opened the door.
The man who looked like a butler glanced at Tao Chu Liang, and his expression became cautious as he confirmed: "It's Taur Group's First Miss, Miss Tao Chu Liang?"
Tao Chu Liang nodded.
"Yes, me." Seeing that the other party was still blocking the door and had no intention to invite her in, Tao Chu Liang could not help but ask, "Excuse me, is it inconvenient now?"
"Wait outside for a while, I'll go in and report to him."
After saying so, the butler closed the door and left her outside.
Who would treat a guest like this? And why should he confirm her identity? What was the trick?
On the other side, the butler ran in big strides as he called out, "Boss Chang! Boss Chang! That Tao Chu Liang really came to find you! "
"What?" You piece of trash! Didn't you say that she came to stop me!? "You don't even know how to stop people, what else can you do?!" Chang Lu angrily kicked the butler.
The steward complained incessantly and did not hit the smiling man. He had brought a wedding present with him, how could he refuse? How could he say that his boss would not accept it? Chang Lu's greed was known to everyone, this was a little too far-fetched.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get her to go back!"
The steward agreed and was about to leave …
"So Boss Chang doesn't like me that much …" Unknowingly when, Tao Chu Liang had already entered the door and was walking toward him in a calm and composed manner.
"Yo, it's Little Tao. Tai!" "Not at all, it's just that I've been busy with work recently and can't get away from it …" Her small eyes swept over Tao Chu Liang, and in the end, her gaze stopped on the gift in her hands.
"You can't leave?" Tao Chu Liang acted as though he was confused, he glanced at the two young girls sitting beside him and placed the gifts on the glass table.
"Uhh, this, why aren't you guys leaving yet!"
Chang Lu was very embarrassed and immediately looked at the two of them. He waved to the butler to take the gift down.
Long Lu got a servant to pour Tao Chu Liang some tea and invited her to sit.
"Boss Chang, don't worry. I'm here today to discuss funding matters with you."
Since she didn't come for that, to talk about cooperation, he was relieved.
"Then can Miss Tao please tell me how you want to cooperate with me?"
Tao Chu Liang came prepared and talked about investment with Chang Lu in one breath.
Chang Lu was beaming with joy, he moved his fat body and personally saw her out the door.
Sitting in the car, Tao Chu Liang started to suspect again. With regards to his parents, Chang Lu might really be involved!
Judging from his reluctance to see her, there was definitely a problem.
If there really was a problem, he wouldn't be able to ask the question just by asking verbally. He had to give the enemy a chance to show off first.
Thus, she took out the project that the Taur Group planned to invest in. This project was currently being developed by Chang Lu Corporation. Before Tao Chu Liang came, he had already investigated it and knew that this project urgently needed funds.
Give him the funds and help to sell him a favor. He believed that his future path would be smoother.
While he was in a daze, a person knocked on her window softly. Tao Chu Liang opened the car door and looked inside.
"Auntie Guo!" He couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.
"Auntie, you … Why are we here? " Tao Chu Liang was suspicious. Aunt Tao had told her that ever since Tao Chu Liang's parents passed away, she had resigned and left for the Chang Clan.
Tao Chu Liang laughed, "That's fine too, the Chang Clan's conditions are not bad, they should not treat you unfairly."
Who knew that Auntie Guo would furrow her brows and sigh deeply, "This place is no better than Miss's house in the past. This Boss Chang is a miser who views money like his life, and is also very picky. Half of my salary has been deducted!"
Tao Chu Liang was puzzled: "I don't think he lacks money … …"
After saying that, he looked up at the Chang Clan's villa.
"Miss Tao, let me tell you!" Aunt Guo looked around to make sure that there was no one around, then she whispered to Tao Chu Liang: "I heard from the original nanny that their family wasn't as rich as you think, it was just that after your parents died, they somehow got a lot of money and moved their family. "Well, you're looking at the new house he's moved into!"
After chatting a bit more with Aunt Guo, Tao Chu Liang returned home.
Sitting in front of the desk, the more she thought, the more she felt that something was amiss. Chang Lu's family was a small company, and had only recently grown up. Could it be that the servants were talking nonsense?
Tao Chu Liang formed a huge question mark in his heart.
It seemed that it would take some time to figure out the source of the money.
