Chapter 1964: Tea House Meeting

Secretary Cao waved his hand again, signaling Shen Dapeng to stop.

"Dapeng, don't call me Secretary all the time, it sounds weird."

While Shen Dapeng was stunned, Cao Xinmin chuckled and continued, "Besides, I'm not working now. Calling me like this seems a bit strange, doesn't it?"

Shen Dapeng was stunned, then laughed, "I understand, how about I call you Uncle Cao from now on?"

Cao Xinmin has always taken good care of him in the past few years. Because of Cao Mengyuan, his relationship with him is very delicate. Shen Dapeng has always respected Cao Xinmin.

Cao Xinmin nodded with satisfaction, "That's right, it doesn't seem so strange."

Shen Dapeng smiled slightly and poured a cup of tea for Cao Xinmin and himself.

Cao Xinmin nodded slowly, picked up the teacup and drank a few sips, then cast his eyes on Shen Dapeng's face again, with a look of appreciation.

"Dapeng, how should I put it? Actually, I have been optimistic about you for a long time. You are definitely not an ordinary person and you will definitely have a promising future. But I didn't expect that in just two years, you have developed so much. It really makes me look at you with new eyes!"

"You are so young, but you are already the chairman of the board. You own many companies. Your strength should not be underestimated. I admire you!"

Shen Dapeng smiled modestly, "Uncle Cao, don't say that. I can achieve such results today not by my own efforts. If it weren't for the help of these friends around me, I wouldn't be able to achieve this step now."

"Anyway, it is your unique vision and courage that have brought you to today's glory. Uncle Cao, I admire you!"

Cao Xinmin smiled and gave Shen Dapeng a thumbs up, with deep satisfaction in his eyes.

"Thank you Uncle Cao for your compliments. I will work harder in the future." Shen Dapeng said gratefully, and added some tea for Cao Xinmin. "Uncle Cao asked me out today. I'm afraid it's not just to compliment me?"

As a member of the Cao family, Cao Xinmin definitely knew that the Huang family was suppressing the Cao family, so he must have come to me at this time for the Cao family's affairs.

Cao Xinmin smiled faintly and looked at Shen Dapeng, "You are really smart. Nothing can escape your eyes!"

"Uncle Cao is joking. I have always remembered the help Uncle Cao gave me in the past few years. If Uncle Cao needs help, just ask. I, Shen Dapeng, am definitely not a heartless person. Uncle Cao is good to me.

I have always been very grateful."

Hearing this, Cao Xinmin gradually put away the smile on his face and looked at Shen Dapeng calmly.

"Dapeng, I already know about Mengyuan. I know you are a good guy, otherwise, she wouldn't have gotten to this point with the old man!"

Shen Dapeng's eyes lit up when he heard this. Cao Xinmin's words were very clear. He already knew about the breakup between the Cao family and the Huang family.

"Uncle Cao, Mengyuan is a good girl. To be honest, I have always liked her very much, and we once made an agreement to treat each other sincerely, but I have never told Uncle Cao. I hope you will forgive me."

Cao Xinmin smiled slightly and said, "Mengyuan is my daughter. As a father, how can I not know what she is thinking about?"

Shen Dapeng was stunned, then laughed, "No one knows a daughter better than her father. Uncle Cao has already seen it?"

Cao Xinmin looked at Shen Dapeng meaningfully, "When we were in Honglin City, I already felt your feelings for Mengyuan."

Shen Dapeng did not speak, but just nodded slightly, and the night in Honglin City that year flashed in his mind.

He and Cao Xinmin stood on the quiet street and talked for more than half an hour. From Cao Xinmin's words at that time, Shen Dapeng could already feel that Cao Xinmin had already seen his feelings for Cao Mengyuan, but perhaps he had some concerns and did not say it clearly.

"I have already seen that you are sincere to Mengyuan, and Mengyuan also likes you. From my heart, I hope that you two can get together."

Cao Xinmin sighed deeply, turned his head, and looked through the window at the busy street scene.

"Things have come to this point, I'm sure you know it, so there's nothing to hide. In order to develop, the Cao family has always relied on the Cao family. In order to maintain this relationship more firmly, the two families made an engagement, and Mengyuan will marry Huang Bin from the Huang family after graduation."

"The original intention was good, but as time went by, Huang Bin gradually grew up, and we found that Huang Bin grew up in the Huang family and didn't learn any good habits of being a person. He followed a group of rich and powerful young men all day long, and he learned a lot of bad habits."

Cao Xinmin couldn't help but sigh when he said this, "This kind of person who only knows how to pursue pleasure and do whatever he wants, not to mention Mengyuan doesn't like it, even I hate it when I see it!"

"And you, unlike Huang Bin, are ambitious at a young age, do things calmly and moderately, have strong abilities, and have studied with Mengyuan. I'm very pleased that you two love each other."

"It's just that this agreement is related to the future of the Cao and Huang families. As the younger generation, we dare not go against the wishes of the old man, so there is no way. I know some things in my heart, but I can't tell you." Shen Dapeng couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "Uncle Cao, I know your situation, and you are also very embarrassed. That time in Honglin City, some of the words you said to me that night, although they were just enough and didn't say it thoroughly, but I have guessed what you were thinking." "I think, no matter who it is, at that time, they had the same idea as you, right?" Shen Dapeng felt that no matter who it was, on the one hand, it was related to the rise and fall of the entire family, and on the other hand, it was the future happiness of his children. It was really difficult to choose between the two. Cao Xinmin nodded in agreement and said with emotion: "Dapeng, you are very smart and can figure out the key."

"Now Mengyuan has grown up and has her own opinions and ideas. She chose you. From a personal point of view, I feel very gratified, but you also know that I am a member of the Cao family after all. Mengyuan has made such a choice now, and the old man is almost going to turn against me."

"This time I came back and heard from the old man that the Huang family has cut off all cooperation with our Cao family because of this matter. Now the Cao family has reached a very difficult point."

Shen Dapeng smiled faintly, "Uncle Cao, I already know about this."

"You, you already know?" Cao Xinmin looked at Shen Dapeng in surprise, and seemed a little unbelieving.

Shen Dapeng nodded, "Yes, Beijing is big and small, and the Huang family is also very famous in Beijing. How can they not know about the slightest disturbance?"
