Chapter 370: 370 Tao Zhi’s Determination
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
At night, Tan Ron and the rest were asleep. Tao Zhi quietly came down from the second floor and went to his parents’ room that was on the first floor. His parents were still awake and seemed to be discussing something.
‘Knock knock!’
Tao Zhi gently knocked on the door a few times and asked, “Are you guys asleep?”
“Not yet.” Mrs. Tao opened the door for him in her pajamas and was surprised to see her eldest son. “My dear, why aren’t you asleep yet?”
Tao Zhi had a serious look on his face. After saying ‘excuse me’, he walked into his parents ‘room.
Father Tao was reading the news. It was a newspaper from the Capital. It said that the old man from the Zhuang family was about to celebrate his 90th birthday. A large number of people would be invited and it was said that he would be announcing his heir.
When he saw his eldest son come in, he put down the newspaper and turned back into the serious father. “What’s wrong?”
Tao Zhi sat on the chair and was silent for a moment before he asked, “What are you going to do about the Tan family bullying my sister? Are we just going to let them go like this?”
The Tao parents looked at each other and looked at him strangely. “Why would you think that?”
“Rourou has been back for so long, but you guys haven’t made any moves. Could it be that you want to let the Tan family off?” Tao Zhi said.
After he found out about the Tan family’s actions yesterday, he wished he could catch Tan Song and Chen Yi and skin them alive right now, then throw them into a pot of oil and fry them for a few rounds. However, his parents were still so calm, which puzzled him.
“How is that possible? Don’t worry, your father has already done it in secrecy. I believe it won’t be long before the Tan family is finished.”
“Go back to sleep, this is not a matter that should bother you. Don’t you like music? Your mother and I thought about it and decided to support your dream. Our family didn’t support you previously. Second loves photography, and Rourou enjoys what she’s doing now. We supported their dreams, so how can we destroy yours?”
After Tao Zhi heard this, he was stunned for a long time. His parents agreed to let him play music? However, his hands could no longer play the guitar. Plus, he was the eldest son of the family. He should not be willful anymore. Now that he is back, he should take on the responsibility of the family and allow his younger siblings to grow up healthily and happily.
“I want to join my family’s company.” Tao Zhi said firmly, “Dad, could you make the arrangements.”
Mrs. Tao sat beside her son and comforted him. “Dearest, Mom and Dad have really thought it through. You can really do what you like. I even ordered a very handsome guitar for you. It will arrive in a few days.”
“Mom, you really don’t have to worry about me.” Tao Zhi smiled.
“I really want to go back to work at the family’s company. Besides, who said I can’t play the guitar just because I’m working there? Maybe I’ll play the guitar at the company’s annual gala in the future.”
His words made Mr. Tao laughed. “You’ve become much more cheerful these few years.”
“You’re the only child in our family who doesn’t talk much.”
Mother Tao said gratefully. “I was worried that it would be difficult for you to get along with others. Now it seems that I’ve been worried for nothing.”
In fact, Mother Tao did not worry much about it. Tao Zhi had always disliked interacting with others. If it was not for his solitary personality, he would not have been harmed by others.
Now, he had changed his mind. His sister told him that they were a family and there was no need to be so reserved. So, he wanted to joke with his parents to ease their relations.h.i.+p and it seems like it had a good effect.
“But, I would have to warn you about it first. Once you step into the company, you can’t go back on your word. Look at your father,” Mrs. Tao said earnestly. “He can’t escape from it anymore. No matter how much we want to live an ordinary life, we can’t completely abandon that family. Your father has no choice but to bear the responsibility of the family.”
“I’ve already decided.” Tao Zhi had already made up his mind. “This time, I left my job to take on the responsibility of supporting our family. It wasn’t a decision I made on impulse.”
Seeing his son’s firm gaze, Tao Fu stood up and said, “Alright then, I agreed to your request.”
He thought for a moment and said. “You’ll report to Uncle Tao Zhen on Monday, starting as a small salesman.”
He wouldn’t let his child get in through the back door. If Tao Zhi wanted to enter the company, he had to start from the bottom.
Tao Zhi did not object. He gladly accepted his father’s arrangement. “Alright, I understand..”
