Chapter 31 Invitation

It was not until he returned to the garden that Tan Weixin prepared for him that Ye Tao suddenly remembered a question: Although he had an identity to discuss matters with officials from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Works, what role should he be planning to play in this grand project? Is he a designer, a partner? Or a contractor? This hierarchical relationship is extremely complex in a project, and Tan Weixin, who obviously has no experience in engineering management, seems not to have thought of this.

However, before he could ask someone to bring a message or a text message to Tan Weixin to explain at this time, Lu Dan, the guard who has almost become the chief manager of this place called Liuyuan, came up and handed over a flat and exquisite wooden box. Ye Tao opened the wooden box suspiciously and found that it contained an exquisitely-bound invitation, which said that he would invite him to attend the cocktail party held in Mingyulou three days later, and the final signature was Luo Qin and Song Yu.

"Is this..." Ye Tao asked.

"It was just now that Luo Qin asked his subordinates to send it. The guys in Chunnan Kingdom were so happy that they had such cocktails twice a month. They always invited some famous literati and strange people. Although they did not recruit talents, they would at least not be disgusting." Lu Dan seemed very dissatisfied.

Ye Tao murmured: "What does literati and strange people have to do with me?"

Lu Dan laughed and said, "You are much more popular than ordinary literati and strange people. Compared to the last cocktail party, Luo Qin and Song Yu even invited painters in brothels to make up the numbers. You are too high. It seems that in front of Luo Qin, someone who can escape unstoppable, or who has a slightly lower status than Luo Qin, you should be the first one. If you don't find the place back on you, how can they win people's hearts in Danyang in the future? How can they have the confidence to praise their civil and military skills and talent in Chunnan Kingdom?"

Ye Tao was a little amused. Lu Dan's personality is really similar to his master Tan Weixin, and he is also chasing his spirit and refuses to let others press on him. Lu Dan is a real person. He does not regard himself as important than Ye Tao, but he will not nod and bow to Ye Tao because Ye Tao is favored by the princess now. For him, Ye Tao's improvement in status only makes the relationship between the two friends more natural.

Seeing Ye Tao hesitating, Lu Dan asked dissatisfiedly: "Brother Ye, are you going?" Lu Dan thought that Ye Tao was looking forward and afraid of losing face at such a party. After all, although Ye Tao is very talented, he is just a businessman after all. At such a party, talent will certainly be appreciated, but under the control of a person with a heart, his identity is more likely to be a reason for being despised.

"I really can't get any interest. Look at this kind of occasion, you can't do anything except to accompany others to talk. The dew will only cause trouble. You will endure it but will be looked down upon by the two guys in Chunnan Kingdom. Do you think I should go or not?" Ye Tao asked in embarrassment.

Lu Dan said in a straight voice: "Go, who made you bear it? You are from the Princess' Mansion. When have you ever seen the people in our Princess' Mansion be humble to others? Someone comes up to quarrel, but you can't scold them back? If someone dares to do anything excessive, do you think that my friends and I are fake? Let's make it clear. In Danyang, only the people in the Princess' Mansion bully people, and no one dares to bully the people in the Princess' Mansion. Of course, if the princess is restrained strictly, we can give others a face, and let's forget about everyone being at peace."

Lu Dan's words were indeed full of heroism, which really made Ye Tao wipe the sweat from his forehead. Of course, he believed that Tan Weixin's temper and the power she held could make her do this, but it was a different story to be suddenly revealed by Lu Dan. Since Lu Dan had already said that, if he would shirk the cocktail party again, he would be a little timid. I'm afraid that Lu Dan and others would be despised to death by despising him.

Ye Tao hesitated for a moment, sighed, and said, "Okay, I'll just go."

Lu Dan patted Ye Tao on the shoulder and said, "That's right. Don't worry about other things, and you can keep you in the limelight."

God knows that Ye Tao actually didn't want to show off at all. Moreover, Ye Tao was also a little confused about what Lu Dan said to guarantee the show off, and it seemed to be a matter of preparing for Ye Tao's travel. In the past few days, Ye Tao had to repeatedly communicate with Tan Weixin about the military camp, establish his identity as a designer and partner in this huge project, establish that Dai Yuege's engineering team can be recognized to participate in this project, and also communicate with Tan Weixin, a person who knows nothing about engineering surveying and mapping, about the issue of military camp site selection and architectural style, and implement how much manpower and material resources will be

After being put into construction of this military camp, how many troops will temporarily serve as construction workers to speed up the progress of the project. Only when all these things are implemented can the construction plan be organized based on these reliable news. In addition to the already-planned Yi Zhan Building project, and the Ye Family Workshop entering Danyang, it is necessary to implement production sites, raw material supply, IKEA home store location and decoration, and a series of upcoming marketing issues. Ye Tao was really busy and didn't even have time to take a break. He felt that there was not enough time and did not notice what Lu Dan was trying to do.

When Ye Tao finally saw the carriage prepared by Lu Dan for him and the entourage team that was entrusted with him, he was not surprised, but worried. He muttered to himself: "Dongping shouldn't have been so arrogant that he was going to behead his head, right?"

This kind of worry is unnecessary. Although Lu Dan is a bit rash, he is also a child from a family of officials. If he hadn't liked martial arts, he would have been a great official at his age. Lu Dan would never commit the issue of etiquette, but he just did not commit it. With the assistance of several female officials from the royal family from the Dongping family who liked to make trouble and lively, with the promotion of Tan Weixin's secretly spending a sum of money to pay for the expenses of the car driver and entourage in order not to let Ye Tao have the opportunity to notice, Ye Tao inexplicably owned the most magnificent car among all the merchants in Danyang.

The four snow-white horses in the Northern Liao Dynasty, without any trace of hair, were aggrieved and pulled the carriage made by Qingtong, which was indeed majestic. The carriage was completely the same as the mainstream of war in the past. When the chariot was the mainstream of war, the civilian-style modified carriage style of Dongpingguo was simple and practical, easy to maintain, but it revealed its power from any angle. Knowing that the Ye Family Workshop was unique in the world in terms of paintwork, Lu Dan did not find anyone to show off in this regard, just a simple varnish. However, this charm of wood grain made this carriage between weapons and utensils have a unique taste.

"The carriage is enough to show off, let's forget those guards and entourage?" Ye Tao asked tentatively.

"There is no door," Lu Dan replied angrily: "I have never seen you. You are now a person who has half a foot in the official circle. You can keep a low profile and not show off. What if something happens? Just because you humiliated Luo Qin at the Princess' Mansion last time. If he is not arrogant enough, you should worry that you will be killed when you go out. Don't worry, 4 servants and 6 guards are not too much, really."

It really doesn't count? As far as Ye Tao knows, when the princess goes out by herself, as long as she doesn't go out of the city, most of them are just like these people. It's just that the princess's maids are treated better, and there is another carriage. It actually looks more low-key than Ye Tao's current appearance.

"Although these people were selected by the princess, General Manager Liu from the retired guards, they will have to receive the salary you paid in the future?" Lu Dan said with a smile, "Explain this to you in advance so that you will not think that the princess is stationed by your side. From now on, these people have nothing to do with the princess's mansion and everything, and they will concentrate on listening to your orders. And I, a young student, will be the full-time housekeeper of your Ye Mansion from today. Do you have any opinions?"

"Why are you crazy?" Ye Tao was shocked. Lu Dan's family has been in office for more than a hundred years. In the past hundred years, there have been five people who have been in office for three ministers, and their disciples and former officials are everywhere. Although the Lu family has always been low-key, as the eldest son of the Lu family, Lu Dan can be regarded as a playboy in Danyang. When he jokes, he calls Lu Dan "Lu Yanei", and he is calm and feels no shame at all. Although Lu Dan has become a guard in the princess's house because of his good martial arts, this is originally a way to become a military officer. If Lu Dan suddenly comes to his house to be a general manager, then Ye Tao will be a little embarrassed.

"It's nothing... I lost the bet with the princess. For at least three years, this manager will have to be properly not." Lu Dan was not embarrassed at all.

Although Tan Weixin was not planning to install someone around her, she was really paying attention to her safety and whether she could make a name for herself in the Danyang circle. In order to achieve this, she did everything she could do. Only Ye Tao understood why. From the same era, they were considering each other carefully. After all, this is the only person in the world who could understand her own wonderful ideas and help her turn her wonderful ideas into reality. Apart from constantly using her scheming, Tan Weixin really couldn't do anything with her terrible body.

Ye Tao sighed and said, "Whatever you want, then the time is coming, so let's go?"
