In a blink of an eye, it was time to get off work. Tao Zhiyun packed his bag, greeted Ren Baozhu and Hou Xinyi, and left in a hurry.
Kindergarten had already ended at this time, and she had to rush to pick up Qiqi.
Since Qiqi entered kindergarten, Tao Zhiyun has taken him to her side.
Qiqi no longer has a father and spends little time with her mother. Tao Zhiyun is afraid that he is withdrawn and timid, which will be detrimental to his growth.
She tried her best as a mother to give him a happy childhood as much as possible.
When Tao Zhiyun arrived at the kindergarten, almost all the children had been picked up by their parents.
Only a few children, accompanied by their teachers, stood at the entrance of the kindergarten waiting for their parents to pick them up.
As soon as Qiqi saw Tao Zhiyun, she raised her little head and timidly said to her teacher: "My mother picked me up."
Qiqi's teacher recognized Tao Zhiyun and said in a gentle voice: "Go ahead."
The little guy immediately ran to Tao Zhiyun's side.
Tao Zhiyun took Qiqi's hand and came to the teacher and apologized: "I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting for so long again."
Although the teacher said it didn't matter, Tao Zhiyun knew that she was unhappy.
If it were her, in the position of a teacher, but she couldn't leave after get off work hours and had to wait for the parents of the children who had not been picked up, she would not be in a good mood.
Qiqi's teacher was very unhappy, but she could still keep smiling and was very restrained.
She planned to go back and ask Lin Mai whether she should rearrange the kindergarten's daily start and end times.
The current schedule is not at all convenient for working parents like them.
Mother and son held hands and went to Fuduoduo Market to buy ingredients for dinner.
Along the way, Qiqi was chirping and telling interesting stories about the kindergarten. Tao Zhiyun listened with interest and responded to him from time to time.
Qiqi took out a few small red flowers from her pocket and handed them to Tao Zhiyun: ""Mom, this is what the teacher rewarded me with."
Tao Zhiyun quickly took the little red flowers and asked with a smile: "Why did the teacher reward you with so many little red flowers?"
Qiqi said a little arrogantly: "Because I am the best at arithmetic and reading!"
Tao Zhiyun touched his little head: "Our Qiqi is so powerful!
What about Doudou, is she good at arithmetic and reading?"
Qiqi shook her head: "Not great, but she is great at painting, singing and dancing."
The mother and son talked and soon arrived at Fuduoduo Market.
In order to save time, Tao Zhiyun took Qiqi back by taking a shortcut to buy vegetables at Fuduoduo Market.
The mother and son walked into a sparsely populated alley.
As long as you walk through this small alley, you can quickly reach the family community of Fuchunlei Garment Factory.
As soon as they reached the middle of the alley, a man walked towards them and blocked the way of Tao Zhiyun, mother and son.
Tao Zhiyun instinctively tucked Qiqi behind his back and looked the man up and down warily: "Are you okay?"
The man was well dressed and spoke politely.
He smiled gently at Tao Ziyun: "Comrade, don't be nervous, I just want to talk to you about something."
Tao Zhiyun thought to herself that she didn't even know him, so it was just a nonsense.
Just when she was about to refuse, she heard the man staring at Qiqi and saying meaningfully: "Your son is so cute. I really want a child like this."
Tao Zhiyun's face turned pale.
She was not afraid of what this man would do to her, but she was afraid of him hurting Qiqi.
She protected Qiqi tightly and took two steps back: "What do you want to talk about? Come on, tell me."
The man always wore a fox-like sly smile: "What I want to talk to you cannot be finished in one or two sentences. Let's find a small restaurant to eat and chat."
Tao Zhiyun weighed it for two minutes and took Qiqi with him.
She was afraid that if she didn't agree to this sanctimonious man, he would be detrimental to her mother and son, especially Qiqi.
Tao Zhiyun planned to take it one step at a time and act according to the opportunity.
The mother and son were taken to a small private restaurant by the man and found a remote corner to sit down.
The landlady asked them what they wanted to order with a smile.
The man asked: "Where's the menu?"
The landlady pointed at the somewhat unclean wall: "It's stuck on the wall."
The man glanced at the menu on the wall and asked Tao Zhiyun to order.
Tao Zhiyun was not even in the mood to eat, let alone order, so he refused to order.
But the man insisted on her order, so she had no choice but to order two dishes and one soup.
The landlady was very discouraged. Tao Zhiyun ordered only cheap dishes, which were not very filling.
Seeing this, the man looked at the menu on the wall and said, "Let's have braised pork ribs, steamed Wuchang fish, and shredded pork with green pepper.
The lady boss suddenly became happy and shouted to the boss who was in charge of the dishes to hurry up and cook.
When the man saw that the landlady was helping the boss, he whispered to Tao Zhiyun: "I'm looking for you because I want you to do me a favor."
Tao Zhiyun asked fearfully and warily: "What are you busy with?"
"It means admitting in court that under Lin Mai's instigation, you bribed Seaman's clothing designer, obtained the drawings, and launched a new model of Seaman clothing first."
Tao Zhiyun's face was extremely solemn: "You want me to wrongly accuse Younice? Don't even think about it!"
The man smiled slightly, took out a wad of money from his pocket and placed it in front of her: "You can think about it now."
Tao Zhiyun looked very angry and raised his voice: "Are you trying to bribe me with money? How much money is there?"
The man was so frightened by her voice that he hurriedly looked at the few diners in the store.
The diners looked at them inquiringly.
The man quickly retracted his gaze and tried his best to pretend as if nothing had happened.
The most taboo thing about doing bad things is to be known by irrelevant people, but this woman just shouted so loudly, as if she was afraid that others wouldn't hear her.
This woman doesn't look like a fool, how could she behave in such a retarded manner!
The man lowered his voice and said, "Can't you lower your voice?"
Tao Zhiyun shrank his neck and asked timidly: "How much money do you have?"
The man extended a slap.
"Five hundred?" Tao Zhiyun shook his head, I won't frame Unico Clothing with you for five hundred yuan."
A trace of disgust flashed in the man's eyes.
This woman is not very smart, but she is so greedy for money. Five hundred dollars is not enough!
He took out another wad of money from his pocket and placed it in front of Tao Zhiyun: "Can we frame Unique now?"
Tao Zhiyun stared at the two piles of money on the dinner table: "These two piles of money add up to one thousand yuan."
The man nodded.
Tao Zhiyun pushed the two wads of money in front of him and said very forcefully: "Don't say you paid me a thousand yuan to pour dirty water on Unique's clothing.
Even if you buy me with 10,000 yuan, I will not betray my factory!"
"Really?" A sinister smile appeared on the corner of the man's mouth, "Then you must protect your son."
Tao Zhiyun raised his voice again in horror: "Are you saying that if I don't get bribed by you, you will do harm to my son?"
The man was once again frightened beyond recognition and quickly looked around.
The diners looked over again inquiringly.
The man was furious: "Can you stop yelling?"
Tao Zhiyun's voice did not weaken at all: "You are going to hurt my son, can I stop shouting?"
The man pushed the two wads of money in front of Tao Zhiyun again: "Knowing that I will hurt your son, just accept the money obediently and do as I say, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences!"
While the man was talking, he took out a gleaming dagger from somewhere and waved it in front of Tao Zhiyun's mother and son's eyes.
Tao Zhiyun's face turned even paler.
After struggling in her heart for a long time, she finally stretched out her trembling hands and put the two wads of money into the fabric bag she made.
When the man saw it, a proud smile appeared on his face.
