Chapter 42: Come to Uncle Tao's

caregiver poured water for him to drink and gently massaged his shoulders, acting like she was serving an emperor.Shu Tinglan glanced at him and said to the decoration company's people: "I'm sorry, ou...When we got to the teahouse, I was clever enough to take a photo at the entrance and post it to my Moments with the location tagged. 。Her WeChat includes the factory manager's contact information. Posting on her Moments is also a reminder to him not to act recklessly. 。The union leader was a slightly overweight middle-aged man. Seeing Shu Tinglan, he warmly led her to the reserved tea room. He seemed kind and approachable. 。At first, Shu Tinglan was still on guard, but seeing that there were also quite a few customers in the other tea rooms of the teahouse, and the union leader was polite and courteous throughout the process, she relaxed her vigilance. 。The two then discussed the issue of employee shareholding. The other party sighed, "Lawyer Shu, our factory's situation is special. When the headquarters established the factory, it was said to be a state-owned enterprise and treated according to the standards of a state-owned enterprise..." 。Later it turned out to be a case of "bait and switch," so the union had to fight for employees to get this stock ownership benefit. The most important thing is to have a job and make a living. 。This week, I've also been meeting with factory workers. In the end, we all agreed that we won't sell shares and will continue working at the factory. 。Your headquarters, whether it's Shengpu Rui or Zhuoyuan Technology, has nothing to do with us workers. 。As long as there are classes and we can receive our salaries normally, we guarantee that we won't cause any trouble. 。The union leader spoke sincerely, Shu Tinglan listened attentively as always, taking notes in her notebook and not expressing any opinion. Mentally, she was calculating what legal risks there would be if Zhuoyuan Technology acquired the company. She needed to think about how to write a legal opinion. 。Before I knew it, it was dark. 。The other party suddenly asked,

"Is Lawyer Shu from Qining as well"

"Hmm" 。"Mr. Shu's father, I had the good fortune to meet him once." 。"Hearing his father's name suddenly, Shu Tinglan's entire heart ached. Forcing down the discomfort inside him, he said coldly:

"If there's nothing else, that's all for today." 。She got up and prepared to leave. 。"It was the owner of this teahouse, Xu Tao, who introduced me to him. Oh, you know Tao Zong, he used to be your father's subordinate." 。Your father was very imposing back then. 。"

Xu Tao again Last time when Qining was in charge of the food project, Xu Tao was also there, and even forced her to drink a glass of wine." 。At the time, she pretended not to know him. Now, on this project, they've met again. 。After her father's death, she only returned to Qining twice, and both times, she happened to meet Xu Tao. Shu Tinglan absolutely didn't believe this was a coincidence; she wasn't that naive. 。Furthermore, judging by the current situation, Xu Tao holds considerable influence in Qining, which allows him to get close to her so easily. 。But she couldn't figure out Xu Tao's motives for getting close to her.

Back then, her father rarely talked about work at home, so she and her mother knew nothing about it. 。Since you're here, don't rush off. Meet Mr. Tao and catch up. 。The union leader stopped Shu Tinglan from leaving. 。"I don't know Mr. Tao, nor do I have any past dealings with him. Please step aside." 。Shu Tinglan remained expressionless, but internally, he was already somewhat flustered. He wanted to take out his phone and call Cheng Chen. 。"Tinglan, you're being too forward. You really don't know Uncle Tao Uncle Tao is heartbroken." 。The door opened, and Tao, the general manager, walked in from outside. He was smiling like the spring breeze, with the dashing charm that only a successful middle-aged man can possess. 。Though Shu Tinglan was afraid, she forced herself to remain calm and wanted to see what Xu Tao had in mind. 。"Sit, don't be nervous, Uncle Tao won't eat you." 。You forgot, I used to hold you when you were a child. 。But back then, I was just a little kid and didn't expect that you would grow up to be so beautiful and charming. You really are a different person now! 。Shutinglan stood there stiffly, Xu Tao's levity in his words no longer able to be concealed. 。The union leader tactfully slipped away, quietly shutting the door to the tea room. 。。Shu Tinglan remained standing still, but his gaze was fixed on Xu Tao:

"Yes, I remember now. Auntie Zhang's father was my dad's superior, and Auntie Zhang is particularly beautiful." 。“Aunt Zhang is Xu Tao’s wife. Back then, Xu Tao was able to rise through the ranks only because he married her. Shu Tinglan brought this up now to give him a warning. If he dared to do anything wrong, she would tell him about his wife.” 。Xu Tao heard this, and laughed, a carefree smile:

"Your Aunt Zhang still often mentions you. If you have time, go to her house for a visit, she would be very happy" 。Xu Tao sat idly, dressed in designer clothes from head to toe. He was a far cry from the servile figure who used to fawn over his father. 。Come, sit by my side. 。Xu Tao reached out and suddenly grabbed Shu Tinglan's hand. Shu Tinglan was caught off guard and was pulled by him onto the tatami in the tea room. Xu Tao took advantage of the situation to control her, leaning over her, his breath filled with smoke, spraying on her face "So eager You are indeed Shu Wenbo's daughter, always knowing what's best." 。Shu Tinglan's whole body stiffened, and his skin prickled with goosebumps. He was both afraid and felt incredibly nauseous, "Let me go, or I'll scream!" 。"The tea room next door is full of people." 。"Come on, see if anyone dares to come in." 。Xu Tao didn't expect Shu Tinglan to be so calm. Thinking about her appearance, she probably had been touched by many men in Senzhou, her technique must be excellent, and it would surely be fascinating. 。At the thought of this, his whole body heated up. At his age, it was rare to meet someone who made him so impatient. He lowered his head and began to kiss her, tearing at her clothes. 。At this moment, Shu Tinglan truly understood what it meant to call to the heavens and receive no answer, to call to the earth and receive no response. 。She struggled desperately, calling out with all her might. People walked by outside, but they were all yelled at and driven away by the man guarding the door.

"What are you looking at Never seen a couple showing affection before All of you get the hell out of here!" 。"

About bodyguards brought by Xu Tao" 。When she was overwhelmed, Shu Tinglan felt an eerie silence. The tea in the tea room smelled divine, and the carvings on the wooden ceiling seemed to dance before her eyes. The soft tatami mat beneath her provided a comforting embrace. 。Her soul had left her body, as if in an out-of-body experience. She felt no sensation of the violation happening to her flesh, only a slight chill when her clothes were completely ripped away, causing her to shiver involuntarily. 。She was no longer able to pay attention to where the men around her had gotten to, only a sudden scream brought her soul back. 。When she regained consciousness, she saw a handsome yet menacing face. It was Zhuo Yu'an. 。He seemed to have descended from the heavens, taking off his coat and wrapping her tightly in it. He placed her gently in a corner of the tea room and whispered softly, "It's alright..." 。And then he got up and walked towards Xu Tao. 。When he spoke to her, his voice was still gentle, but his expression, his entire aura at that moment, was menacing. Shu Tinglan had never seen him like this before, as if he came from hell. 。Xu Tao was obviously not a pushover, reaching out with agility. However, his age was a factor after all, and he was no match for Zhuo YUAN at all. He was knocked to the ground in just a few moves. The bodyguard outside his door, who had already been kicked twice by Zhuo YUAN, saw Xu Tao being beaten down and immediately rushed to attack Zhuo YUAN. 。ords that he stood there like a wooden statue.Intrigued >His irregular heartbeat, his palpitations, and even the feeling of a “heart attack,” were they caused by falling in loveIs this what it feels l...
