Husband, Spend Some Gold Coins

Tao Gaofei took Xie Yunzheng home and saw that he had been crying all the way. Her temper exploded, and she scolded, “Stop crying. What is there to cry about?”

Xie Yunzheng wiped away his tears and said, “Brother doesn’t like me.”

Tao Gaofei became angry. “Why do you want him to like you? If he comes home, everything will be taken away from you, including your toy and daddy. Do you understand?”

Xie Yunzheng didn’t say anything. Tao Gaofei pinched his face and said, “Zhengzheng, be obedient. When you go back, you can’t talk to your father about Xie Qi. He doesn’t recognize you as his younger brother, so don’t treat him as your older brother either. Don’t think about this person anymore. Didn’t you see it just now? He was humiliating your mother. Is he more important than your mother?”

Xie Yunzheng said in a daze, “Mom is more important.”

Tao Gaofei said, “That’s good, so don’t mention him again in the future. He is so bad and vicious. How can he be your brother? He doesn’t care about you, so you don’t care about him either. Do you understand?”

Xie Yunzheng wiped away his tears and whispered, “I understand.”

They returned home. Xie Dai was already at home, holding a mobile phone and making calls with a gloomy expression.

As soon as Tao Gaofei saw it, she stepped lightly and pulled Xie Yunzheng carefully to go upstairs. However, Xie Dai saw her before they could go up a few steps. He said the last few words, hung up the phone, and called Tao Gaofei’s name loudly, “Come here, and Xie Yunzheng, you don’t know how to call daddy when you see him?”

Tao Gaofei’s expression changed, and he pulled Xie Yunzheng down. Xie Yunzheng timidly called out, “Dad.”

Xie Dai’s expression became even uglier, and he scolded, “You spoke so quietly, didn’t you eat?”

Then he said to Tao Gaofei with a cold face, “How did you teach him? He speaks so quietly to me. He is already such an old voy, but he is still so petty. Who would think he is my Xie Dai’s son when he walks out?”

Tao Gaofei smiled and said, “Now Zhengzheng knows. Zhengzheng, call daddy again.”

Xie Yunzheng raised his voice and called, “Dad,” again.

Xie Dai was reluctantly satisfied and looked at them with critical eyes. “Where did you go?”

Tao Gaofei answered without changing her smile. Xie Dai listened impatiently and waved them away.

Tao Gaofei sent Xie Yunzheng to do his homework. When she came down, she heard Xie Dai talking on the phone again. His tone could not hide his irritability, “… If this continues, the capital chain will be broken. This is not a trivial matter. Secretary Luo, you should understand, Mr. Qin can’t let the Xie family bear all the danger. All the benefits belong to him, and the risks are all our Xie family’s business? Please tell Mr. Qin that wealth can be found in danger. The worst has not yet come, so it will be okay.”

Xie Dai hung up the phone, turned pale, took a cigarette, and started smoking.

Tao Gaofei knew that now was not a good time to ask Xie Dai, but Xie Dai’s abnormality made her heart pound. She didn’t care whether she would be scolded by Xie Dai, so she walked over and asked, “What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with the project?”

Although Xie Dai couldn’t bear Tao Gaofei’s inquiry, he spoke irritably, “There was a problem with the project. It was clear that the risk assessment was OK, but when we arrived at the site, we found that the geology there was soft and a lot of sand and gravel filling was needed, so we rebooked it in the middle. The contract was originally good, but something happened again.”

As for what happened, Xie Dai didn’t say anything, nor did he mention the solution, but what he said to Tao Gaofei next vaguely revealed something was wrong, “Zhengzheng’s interest classes have been temporarily suspended for him, and starting from this month, I won’t give you any living expenses, and you’d better not show up anymore.”

Tao Gaofei was surprised, “Is this too sudden? Zhengzheng has just found an international master for his piano lessons. As long as he persists for half a year, he will definitely make great progress. There is also an equestrian lesson, which he has just received… A pony…”

Xie Dai raised his eyebrows and said, “Transfer the horse, he doesn’t need it now, and those messy interest classes are no longer needed. With just his talent, how can he still learn to become a genius?”

Tao Gaofei said aggrievedly, “But I finally got the spot on that horse, and it cost me 200,000 US dollars!”

Xie Dai said in a cold tone, “Transfer it, you idiot, don’t you understand what’s going on at home now? If you don’t save money, you’ll drink the northwest wind after a while.”

Tao Gaofei: “…has it reached this point? You are not lying to me, are you?”

Xie Dai was too lazy to talk to her anymore, so he got up and left.

Tao Gaofei felt uneasy. Where had the Xie family reached now? Xie Dai was actually not stingy with her. As long as there was a legitimate reason, such as paying tuition for some interest classes, he would always generously give her a lot of education funds.

But now that she had to save money on her son’s education fees, was there really a big problem?

Tao Gaofei picked up the cell phone, went to a remote corner to make a call, and asked Xie Dai’s secretary. The other party hesitated and refused to tell her. After a few threats from her, the secretary finally told the truth that the situation in Xie Dai’s family was really not good now.

Something went terribly wrong in a foreign project. The managers of the Qin family were afraid of taking responsibility and had begun to withdraw funds, but it was useless to withdraw funds. The Xie company had detained people and had to let them go through the normal termination procedures before releasing them.

However, the liquidated damages were as high as 17.8 billion, which Qin family could afford, but Xie Dai could not.

And this project had already dragged them to the edge. If they couldn’t come back, the employees’ families would have made a fuss, they would have had to give money to appease them, had to press the newspaper to publish negative news, and had to start collecting liquidated damages.

But Xie Dai was unwilling to pay the money, so he took a chance and wanted to push forward the project. However, the Qin family stopped playing and just acted like cowards, not showing up or responding, and not caring about the engineering team.

It had been a wrong decision for the Qin family to let such a young person manage the Qin family. Now, all the pressure had fallen on Xie Dai.
