A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 50 No one knows a daughter better than her father

Chao Bufan sat down on the sofa and smiled slightly, "It's alright."

Guan Gong leaned closer and asked with a mischievous smile, "Bufan, what do you think of Zhou Di from my department? She's the most dazzling flower in our department! So many people want to pursue her, but none of them have succeeded!"

Upon hearing this, Lü Tie immediately became displeased and quickly defended himself: "Yang Li from my finance department is just as good!"

Chao Bufan chuckled, then his expression turned cold as he asked, "Lu Tie, are you doing this on purpose?"

Lu Tie was taken aback for a moment, then said, "What are you talking about! I just called them to come sing and have some fun, that's all."

Chao Bufan said in a serious tone, "Well, let's let it go this time. But if you have another chance like this next time, remember to call me. Otherwise, I'll definitely get angry with you."

"Uh?"

Lu Tie and the others were all startled, then exchanged a knowing smile.

In a building, Tang Guoqiang returned home very late. Tang Qianqian was sitting on the sofa watching TV, seemingly waiting for her father to come home. When her father returned, Tang Qianqian quickly went to greet him.

"dad."

Tang Guoqiang asked with slight surprise, "Qianqian, it's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Tang Qianqian pouted and said in a coquettish tone, "Dad, I'm waiting for you!"

Tang Guoqiang glanced at his daughter, took off his coat, threw it on the sofa, sat down, and asked, "Qianqian, is something wrong?"

Tang Qianqian hummed in agreement, then sat down next to her father and asked, "Dad, why did you let that damned guy become the chairman of the Tang Group?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Guoqiang smiled slightly, seemingly expecting his daughter to ask this question, and replied, "Qianqian, there is naturally a reason why Dad did this."

“Dad, I know there’s a reason, but you can’t just hand the company over to him like that! Do you know what? Haijun and Ziyan have a lot of opinions about you! They say you’re too hasty, giving such an important position in the company to a complete stranger.”

"So what do you think?"

"I..." Tang Qianqian stammered, and after a moment said, "Dad, to be honest, at first I didn't understand why you did this, but I quickly figured it out."

Tang Guoqiang nodded and smiled, praising, "As expected of my daughter, Chao Bufan is no ordinary person. He will definitely have a brighter future than us." He paused, then asked, "Qianqian, you and Chao Bufan attended Qi Zhendong's son's wedding, right?"

"Yes, we all went," Tang Qianqian replied, unable to deny it.

"Your Uncle He and I watched those two dances he performed. They were great. This kid has a real talent for dancing; he truly deserves the title of 'dance god.'" His tone was clearly praising.

Tang Qianqian pouted and said dismissively, "Dad, why are you bringing this up? That guy only danced two dances, humph! What's so great about that?"

Tang Guoqiang laughed and said, "Qianqian, haven't you realized it yet? From the moment this kid saved you, the unimaginable behavior and abilities he displayed are something that ordinary people simply cannot do."

Seeing her father speak so highly of him, Tang Qianqian looked surprised and asked, "Dad, is this falcon really that powerful?"

"The nation's top assassin, a core member of the Dragon Team, tell me, how could he not be formidable?"

Tang Qianqian remained unconvinced, pouting, "Hmph, so what if he's amazing? Dad, you're the most amazing! Compared to you, what is Falcon? You're the real hero in my heart!"

Tang Guoqiang didn't want to ruin his image in his daughter's eyes, but he also didn't want to lie to her. He knew his daughter's personality; though she appeared cold on the outside, a warm heart lay hidden behind that coldness. He also knew that his daughter judged people by his own standards, which was why, over the years, while other girls had found boyfriends, she hadn't. His daughter had told him before that it wasn't that she didn't want to find one, but that she simply hadn't met the right person—a capable and responsible man like her father. He also knew that his daughter seemed to have developed feelings for Chao Bufan, so he smiled and then said meaningfully, "Qianqian, actually, Dad isn't a great hero. If anyone's a great hero, it's Chao Bufan."

"Hmph," she sneered, her face full of disdain, "How can a thug like him compare to you?" She had always believed that her father was the great hero in her heart, and that no one else was worthy of his title.

In the hearts of their children, aren't their parents the greatest heroes?

Tang Guoqiang looked at his daughter with affection, took her hand, gently stroked it, and said lovingly, "What Dad said is true. You saw it yourself that night. Your uncle and his gang were so many people, with knives, guns, and miniature grenades, yet he was still able to wipe them out in one fell swoop. If it were me, I simply couldn't do it. Even if I were twenty or thirty years younger, I still couldn't do it. You know, just that top-level agent Mike from the US alone, his skills are no less than Dad's."

Upon hearing this, Tang Qianqian was visibly startled and asked in surprise, "Dad, is this scoundrel really that powerful?"

Tang Guoqiang nodded and said, "In the entire HX, I'm afraid you can't find anyone more capable than Chao Bufan. Qianqian, now you know why your father and your Uncle He entrusted the Tang Group to him, right?"

Tang Qianqian pouted, then giggled and replied, "Okay."

Tang Guoqiang glanced at his daughter. As the saying goes, no one knows a daughter better than her father. He saw through her thoughts at a glance and asked, "Qianqian, tell Dad the truth, have you fallen for this boy?"

"Huh?" Tang Qianqian was clearly startled, then blushed and quickly said, "No, no, how could I possibly like such a scoundrel! Dad, you're overthinking it."

"Is Dad really overthinking this?" Tang Guoqiang asked with ill intent. "I saw both of you at Qi Minghao's wedding that day..."

"Oh dear!" Tang Qianqian quickly interrupted her father, scolding, "Dad, I've already said it, how could I possibly like a scoundrel like him! Who does he think he is!"

Tang Guoqiang laughed and said, "Since you don't like him, fine. It just so happens that your Uncle He is planning to marry your sister Mengjuan to him. I'll be the matchmaker for them!"

"Huh? You want to match them up?" Tang Qianqian was shocked and quickly said, "No, no, Dad, you can't match them up. Mengjuan and he are incompatible."

Tang Guoqiang looked puzzled and asked in surprise, "How do you know they're incompatible? I think they get along quite well!"
