" Sweet honey, your smile is so sweet…" Teresa Teng's gentle voice was especially crisp, echoing in every corner of the room.
The phone rang! Wang Hong, who was about to go to work, was stunned. She picked up the phone, but before she could put the receiver to her ear, a man's urgent voice came from the other end of the line."Is this Teacher Wang's house? Teacher Wang…"
Tao Daniu again! She didn't want to say anything to him, so she hung up the phone angrily.
He hung up again? Tao Daniu stared at the phone in a daze. Why didn't she pick up the phone again? Was she not at home? No, hanging up meant that Mr. Wang was at home. At least there was someone at home. Then, she was unwilling to answer my call. She had done it out of kindness. Why would she do this? He thought for a moment and suddenly felt uneasy. Tao Daniu could not figure out what was going on.
A few days ago, he had directly invited her over the phone a few times. Although he was very sincere, she had rejected him all the time. This time, the meaning of inviting her was different. His son, Tao Tao, had only failed one of his mid-term exams. Ever since he started school, his exam results had always been in the bottom three of the class. He did not expect that he would get an average score in the mid-term exam, which was the best record he had ever had in his life. Tao Daniu was overjoyed. He couldn't fall asleep when he woke up at five o'clock. He was happy. His son's progress was all thanks to Teacher Wang Hong. He felt that he should thank her properly. In a hurry, he got up at dawn and dialed Teacher Wang's home number.
She did not expect it to be worse this time. She did not even pick up the phone. As far as he could remember, no matter who he invited to dinner over the years, he had never broken his promise. Then, why was Teacher Wang like this?
Tao Daniu was very depressed. He got into his " Toyota " and was extremely frustrated. He had to send the car three times before he could start the car. He slammed on the accelerator and rushed out of the garage like an angry lion. For some reason, the car had reached Kaopeng Avenue. Why was it here? She quickly stepped on the brakes and came to an emergency brake. He leaned on the steering wheel to clear his head. Just as his mind calmed down, he remembered what his assistant, Zhou Li, had said.
That day, he didn't manage to invite Teacher Wang Hong, so he returned to the construction site in frustration. His assistant, Zhou Li, came to his office and saw that he was in a bad mood. She smiled and said,"Teacher Wang didn't invite him, right? When you engage in project bidding, there are so many unique skills and tricks. You have brought out the art of competition to the fullest. Why was he so one-dimensional when dealing with women?”
Tao Daniu glared at her and said,"Wang Hong is not an ordinary woman.”
When Zhou Li heard Tao Daniu's words, she burst out laughing like a silver bell, causing Tao Daniu to be at a loss for words. "Let me tell you, no matter what kind of woman she is, there is only one trick a man can use to deal with her.”
"What is it?" Tao Daniu was stunned.”
"Sincerity."
"Sincerity?" Tao Daniu looked at her with disdain and said,""Could it be that my heart is not sincere?"
"You feel sincere, but Teacher Wang Hong doesn't feel it.”
"What do you mean?"
"If you want Teacher Wang to feel your sincerity, you need a process. It was to feel, acknowledge, and be touched. When you're touched, you've succeeded."
Tao Daniu was stunned. He did not expect this young woman to have such a set of principles when it came to relationships between men and women. He seemed a little worried.”
"Victory in every battle!"
Tao Daniu alighted from the car and lit a cigarette while leaning against the car. He frowned as he pondered," Sincerity? What was sincerity? Could it be that what he did was not counted?
To Tao Daniu, all of this was a string of enigmas that he could not fathom.
"Eh, isn't this President Tao?" A man stopped in front of him and said enthusiastically,"Who are you looking for?"
Tao Daniu looked up and recognized Principal Hu from the middle school. He suddenly had an idea and quickly asked with a smile,"Principal Hu, I was just looking for you."
"Looking for me?" Principal Hu was a little surprised. You big boss, why are you looking for me?”
"It's really a big deal.”Tao Daniu deliberately kept him in suspense and gestured to Principal Hu before saying,""My naughty son did very well in the mid-term exam. I came here sincerely to treat the school leaders and my son's class teachers to a meal to thank you.”
Principal Hu had received many such invitations, and it was normal for him to do so. He said,"This will cost the big boss two silver coins."”"When?" he asked.”
Tao Daniu thought to himself that the sooner the better. However, he could not say that. In order to prevent Principal Hu from sensing his true thoughts, he deliberately said,""My son is in Class One (1). I don't know who the class teacher is. I'll have to trouble Principal Hu and the other teachers to invite him for me. Tomorrow evening, I'll wait at Nanhu Villa.”These words of his, although they seemed to be said smoothly, were actually his good intentions.
As the principal, it was too easy to organize a drinking session. Principal Hu agreed readily and left with Tao Daniu. All the teachers were here, and of course, Teacher Wang Hong was here! Tao Daniu was very happy. No wonder Chairman Mao said that the world was afraid of being serious. Once he was serious, he could save the country through a roundabout way. It really worked.
The next afternoon, Tao Daniu arrived at Nanhu Villa early in the morning and asked for a good private room. He then called Principal Hu and repeatedly reminded him that he could not lose a single teacher in the class, especially the homeroom teacher. Principal Hu agreed to everything, saying that there was no problem and that he would be on time.
Today, Tao Daniu's outfit was all Zhou Li's idea. He wore a blue Montagut long-sleeved shirt and off-white non-iron cotton trousers. He wanted to dress himself up according to a woman's aesthetic standards. He had to make Teacher Wang Hong happy. At least, he did not look like a boor. It would be better if he looked like a boss. Perhaps this way, she would not be disgusted.
In the past, he only cared about earning money. He felt that only with money could he stand tall. Therefore, he felt that earning money was the most important thing in life. Now, he realized that building his image was many times more important than making money.
In the evening, Principal Hu and his group arrived. Tao Daniu welcomed them into the private rooms one by one. But without Wang Hong, she still looked down on him and deliberately avoided him. He felt as if he had fallen into a cold puddle. His whole body was cold. If she didn't come, this meal would be meaningless.
"Principal Hu, did you lose anyone?" Actually, Tao Daniu wanted to ask why Wang Hong didn't come, but he couldn't ask directly. He could only ask around. Principal Hu said,"We're only missing our homeroom teacher, Wang Hong. She has something on and can't come."”
" Ah," Wang Hong really wasn't coming, and Tao Daniu was instantly extremely dejected."Because of my son, the form teacher suffered a lot and put in a lot of effort. I don't think it's good not to come.”Although he said that, he was actually thinking that it would be best if Principal Hu made a trip. Tao Daniu couldn't bring himself to speak to Principal Hu. He had to win the support of the other teachers. He sincerely said to everyone,""You guys are here because you think highly of me. However, the homeroom teacher is the most perfect, don't you think so?”
His words really worked. Someone said,"Principal Hu, President Tao thinks highly of Wang Hong. As his son's form teacher, she should definitely come.”
"Isn't it because of our son that the parents are treating us to drinks? Actually, the future work will be done by the form teacher. If she doesn't come, our drinking will be meaningless.”
Everyone started talking at once. In order not to dampen everyone's spirits, Principal Hu said,"Alright, I'll go invite him once. If he really doesn't come, Boss Tao will do his best.”
Someone said,"Principal Hu, with a mature and handsome man like you inviting her, I'm not afraid that Teacher Wang Hong won't be tempted!"”
Principal Hu didn't care about these words. He still went out with a smile. Tao Daniu said,""Principal Hu, take my car. It would be best if you could invite Teacher Wang over. Doesn't China emphasize reunion?”Tao Daniu only said this much, and the crowd started talking at once."Principal Hu is sitting in a small car. Isn't it like sitting in a sedan chair…"
While everyone was happily joking around, Tao Daniu felt sour in his heart. If Principal Hu still couldn't get him to come, he would never have the chance to express his sincere gratitude. If that happened, it would be too painful!
The more difficult it was to invite Teacher Wang, the more Tao Daniu wanted to invite her. Even if it was a 25,000-li long march, he had to invite Wang Hong! This was his only wish.
After a while, Principal Hu came back with Wang Hong behind him.
The moment Wang Hong stepped into the private room, the private room exploded."Wang Hong, President Tao is really like Liang Shanbo inviting Zhu Yingtai today!”
This time, Wang Hong blushed. She was afraid of making such a joke.
In order to ease the atmosphere, Principal Hu quickly said,""Boss Tao's sincerity has touched Teacher Wang. Look, aren't you here?”
Sincerity? Tao Daniu was very sensitive to this term now, and Zhou Li was right. Tao Daniu was very happy to see Teacher Wang Hong enter the private room. After hearing Principal Hu's words, he was so excited that he couldn't even speak coherently. He quickly asked Zhou Li to drag a chair over for Teacher Wang Hong. When the chair was dragged to Tao Daniu's side, Principal Hu said to Wang Hong,""You can sit here with President Tao." However, Wang Hong refused no matter what. Teacher Zhang, who was sitting beside Principal Hu, seemed to have noticed something and quickly stood up to let Wang Hong sit. Only then did Wang Hong sit down in Teacher Zhang's seat.
When Tao Daniu saw Wang Hong sit down, he went forward and handed the menu to her enthusiastically, saying,""Teacher Wang, please order something too."
Wang Hong wasn't used to Tao Daniu's enthusiasm, and she didn't want to accept the recipe he sent over. She casually replied,""As long as it's light."
"Miss, can you be more specific?" the waitress asked.”
It was not easy to invite Wang Hong over today. Tao Daniu was afraid that she would be unhappy. When he saw the waiter asking this question, he was a little angry."Miss, your service level is too bad. Isn't it specific when she said it so clearly?”
"Sir…" The young lady was a little troubled.
"Didn't they say Qing, Dan? It's said that it's used to smooth the green fish slices with egg white. This is called green egg, do you understand?”
With that said, all the teachers applauded."President Tao, with your standards, you might as well open a hotel!”
Tao Daniu was very excited." I'm going to open a hotel in the future. As long as your teacher patronizes, I'll give you a discount."”
Wang Hong laughed as well. She really did not expect Tao Daniu to explain her casual words so mysteriously.
After everyone sat down, Tao Daniu began to pour tea for the teachers. He said happily,""Teachers, all of you are revered, supreme engineers with human souls. It is my honor to be able to invite you here.”
When Tao Daniu finished speaking, the teachers cheered excitedly, followed by a burst of intense applause.
Principal Hu said excitedly," To invite us teachers to such a star-rated hotel, I have to say something from the bottom of my heart. Thank you, President Tao, for attaching so much importance to education and thinking highly of us teachers."”
"For a teacher to be able to enter a restaurant like this, I think it's a headline.”Someone added.
This time, everyone happily expressed their views on Tao Daniu, and the private room instantly became lively.
" I don't thank Boss Tao," someone said loudly. It was a discordant voice, and everyone looked at the person in unison. Seeing that his words had caused a sensation, he could not help but feel a little proud."The person I really want to thank for today's meal isn't President Tao, but Teacher Wang Hong. If she hadn't taught Boss Tao's son well, Boss Tao wouldn't have been so sincere today.”
Am I sincere? When Tao Daniu heard that, he seemed to be enlightened." So this was sincerity.
This time, the topic was directed to Wang Hong. People joked with Wang Hong, making her blush. It was not until the dishes were served that everyone changed the topic.
After the wine was served, Tao Daniu toasted everyone together before toasting them individually. The first person to toast was, of course, Principal Hu. However, Principal Hu pushed away the wine glass that Tao Daniu had raised in front of him and said,""President Tao, if Tao Tao has improved, it's because Teacher Wang Hong has put in a lot of effort. The first one should be to toast Teacher Wang.”
Wang Hong quickly said," How can that be? Let's toast Principal Hu first."”
" Alright." Principal Hu's words struck a chord in Tao Daniu's heart."I'll listen to Principal Hu." So he handed the wine glass to Wang Hong. Wang Hong had never seen such a scene before. Besides, she was even more unwilling to toast Tao Daniu in front of so many people, especially this Tao Daniu who she hated. She held her wine glass and tried to avoid Tao Daniu. " Don't, don't…" Before Wang Hong could finish her sentence, Tao Daniu seized the opportunity and quickly clinked his wine glass with the one in Wang Hong's hand. He tilted his neck and drank the wine in the glass. Wang Hong didn't expect Tao Daniu to be so quick. Before she could understand what was going on, the entire table burst into a storm of applause. Wang Hong saw the people clapping and didn't know what to do. She hesitated for a moment and sat down.
" Wang Hong," Principal Hu said," you represent the school. You have to drink this wine."”
"I really don't know how to drink," Wang Hong said.”
"If Teacher Wang really doesn't know how to drink, then you should express your gratitude.”
"No, it means contempt!" Everyone was unwilling.
Wang Hong's face turned red. She felt that she had become a target if she continued to make a fuss. In her hurry, she helplessly poured the wine into her mouth. As she had poured the wine in a hurry, she did not drink much. The wine flowed from the corner of her mouth, causing her to choke and cough. Tao Daniu secretly handed her a few tissues through Principal Hu.
In a moment of desperation, Wang Hong couldn't care less about her taboo. Just as she took the napkin and covered her mouth, she suddenly remembered that it was the napkin given by Tao Daniu and hurriedly put it aside. She didn't want to have too much contact with Tao Daniu, even if it was such a trivial matter.
Women were the most sensitive to men's feelings.
Tao Daniu toasted everyone and praised Wang Hong in front of everyone. The math teacher, Teacher Zhang, said,""Teacher Wang, President Tao has personally toasted me a few times. With such sincerity, I should return the favor!”
Everyone immediately agreed.
" This..." Wang Hong saw that it was her fault again, so she quickly stuttered a few " no ".
For some reason, the more shy Wang Hong was, the more Tao Daniu felt that this was indeed a chance to show his sincerity. He stood up and said to Wang Hong,""Teacher Wang, you can't afford to toast me. I should toast you. To be honest, I was really worried about Tao Tao. If he doesn't touch the books, I don't know what he will become in the future. You've changed Tao Tao. I'm relieved now. This glass of wine is to thank you, the engineer of the human soul, for remolding him.”
The teachers didn't expect Tao Daniu to say something so elegant. Immediately, applause and shouts rang out.
"I really don't know how to drink." Wang Hong saw that people were adding fuel to the fire and suddenly became anxious. She said,"I'm a little dizzy after drinking just now.”
"If you really don't want to drink, I'll bring it for you.”Tao Daniu seemed to be moved by Wang Hong's words. As he spoke, he extended his wine cup to Wang Hong.
Wang Hong quickly covered her wine glass." I don't need you to bring it either."”
Wang Hong didn't know how to drink it, and she didn't allow anyone else to bring it. Everyone had different opinions on how to drink this glass of wine. At this moment, Wang Hong's phone rang, and she quickly answered it. Everyone was afraid that Wang Hong wouldn't listen to the phone, so the conversation in the private room suddenly stopped.
Wang Hong answered the phone and said to Principal Hu,""Headmaster, there's something wrong with the classroom again.”
Principal Hu said dejectedly,"I can't do anything about it. A clever wife can't cook without rice."”
When Tao Daniu heard them mention the computer lab, all of them sighed, especially Wang Hong. If there was a problem in the computer lab, why didn't they look for the principal but her? He looked at Wang Hong. He wanted to ask, but he didn't know how to. Principal Hu saw through Tao Daniu's thoughts and said,""Mr. Tao, Ms. Wang is in charge of the school's multi-media education. The equipment is too old, especially this computer room.”
Just as Principal Hu finished speaking, someone picked up,"Mr. Wang, give Mr. Tao a toast. He will have a way to help you.”
Since President Tao was so concerned about education, he definitely had a way. "Yes, as long as you offer a toast, Boss Tao will definitely grant all your requests."”
When people said this, Wang Hong's face immediately turned red. She did not know what to say."You guys…don't say that…"
Everyone wanted to see Wang Hong's shy look, especially her helpless expression, which made everyone laugh happily.
Tao Daniu felt that Teacher Wang Hong's bashful look was even more pitiful, so he stood up and raised the wine glass in his hand like a guardian angel.""It doesn't matter if you drink this cup of wine or not. If Teacher Wang Hong has any difficulties, as long as you think highly of me, Tao Daniu, feel free to ask.”
"Boss Tao, we teachers don't talk much all day. Just pretend you didn't hear anything they say." Principal Hu smiled.”
Tao Daniu said seriously,""Teacher Wang, what did you say about the school's computer room?”
Principal Hu could not help but laugh when he saw that Tao Daniu seemed to recognize the truth. The computer in the school's computer room malfunctioned. Big Boss Tao, you're in the construction industry. Can you help? "Boss Tao, I appreciate your kindness for caring so much about education.”he said politely.
When Wang Hong heard Principal Hu's words, she couldn't help but look at Tao Daniu. She happened to meet Tao Daniu's gaze. She felt that his gaze was as hot as fire and hurriedly turned her head to avoid it. However, the moment their eyes met, Tao Daniu felt Wang Hong's helplessness towards the computer room. This emotion deeply infected him. The emotional impact was like an electric shock, causing Tao Daniu to be stunned. An idea suddenly came to his mind. Help her! Yes, ever since Zhou Li persuaded him to do some charity work, his wife, Qiu Zhen, did not let him do it. He regretted it countless times. The computers in their school were old, so they helped Wang Hong replace all the computers and solved the problem with the school. They also helped Wang Hong solve the problem. He still had a plan in his mind. No. 1 Middle School was a famous middle school in the city and was also a key school in the city. If he solved the funding problem of the computer lab in this school, it might shake the whole city.
"Principal Hu, how much would it cost to replace the entire computer in the computer room?”Tao Daniu asked.
Principal Hu heard Tao Daniu's words and quickly stopped him.""Boss Tao, I've already said that the teachers were joking. Please don't take it seriously."”
"No, it's only right to contribute to the school. Isn't society supporting education now? Just tell me how much you need.”
Seeing Tao Daniu say this, Principal Hu could only say it directly,""First of all, I want to thank President Tao for his concern for education. Speaking of funds, if we change the system settings according to the school's computer room, I don't think it's a small amount.”
Tao Daniu remained silent for a long time after hearing Principal Hu's words.
Seeing this, Wang Hong laughed to herself. That's right, you, Tao Daniu, shouldn't make random wishes. This isn't just about eating a meal.
Tao Daniu said to Principal Hu,"I'll handle this." However, if he wanted to do it well, he had to do it well and make it the best in the province. Don't worry about the money. I'll fund it.”
Hearing Tao Daniu's words, the teachers immediately applauded.
Tao Daniu's tone sounded very certain. Wang Hong was stunned. Was Tao Daniu's words true?
These nouveau riche were all stingy. They paid as if they wanted him to bleed. Could it be that he, Tao Daniu, was an exception?
When Principal Hu heard Tao Daniu's words, he stood up and raised his wine glass in front of Tao Daniu, saying,""Boss Tao, no matter what happens in the future, first of all, I have to thank you for your concern for education.”
"Yes, it's a toast!" Many people were jeering again.
The applause made Tao Daniu even more excited. This was because the teachers thought highly of him, so he raised his wine glass."If you want to talk about respect, let me give a toast to President Hu. He has a good leadership and has turned No. 1 Middle School into our Xuancheng's Peking University and Tsinghua University.”
After Tao Daniu finished speaking, he stood up and clinked glasses with Principal Hu before they both drank up. As soon as they sat down, someone said," Teacher Wang Hong, you have to give a toast to Mr. Tao. He invested in the classroom mainly to support your work.”When Tao Daniu heard what the people said, he quickly stood up and said,""I didn't toast you just now. Let me toast Teacher Wang Hong first.”
The teachers disagreed, saying,"Teacher Wang should be the one to toast Boss Tao."”
Tao Daniu said,"I'll donate some money to the classroom as a token of my gratitude to the school. Besides, Teacher Wang Hong has taught Tao Tao well. I have endless gratitude, so it's only right for me to make some contributions. Teacher Wang Hong, thank you."
When Tao Daniu said this, Wang Hong was a little touched. She looked at Tao Daniu carefully for the first time and said,"President Tao, the wine has been toasted, toasted…"
She suddenly realized what was going on. Why was she talking to him today and even calling him " President Tao "?
Tao Daniu became even happier and said,""Teacher Wang Hong, as parents, which one of us doesn't want our children to study hard? I've worried so much for this child, but it doesn't work. I don't know how to thank you for this. Let alone a toast, don't you think?”
Since things had come to this point, Wang Hong had no choice but to stand up and clink glasses with Tao Daniu."I really don't know how to drink.”
When Tao Daniu saw Wang Hong clinking glasses with him, he became excited."" Teacher Wang Hong, please do as you please. I'll drink it to show my sincerity.”As he spoke, he drank the wine in his glass.
This time, no one was willing to let Wang Hong shout. Tao Daniu quickly said,"There will still be a chance to drink this wine in the future.”
Principal Hu knew Wang Hong's character. Today was an exception. Then, he continued Tao Daniu's words. The next time we treat Boss Tao, everyone should have a good time. Let's drink until today.
This time, he really helped Wang Hong out of the predicament. Tao Daniu also heaved a sigh of relief. He was afraid that he would anger Wang Hong and ruin the good atmosphere.
