371 Morning Training

When Tao Zhi came out of his parents' room, he met his grandfather who came to the living room to get some water. He didn't know if he was really thirsty or if he heard the noise and came out to take a look. After all, there was a thermos bottle in Grandpa and Grandma Tao's room.2

 "Grandpa, why are you still awake?" Tao Zhi went over to greet him.

Grandpa Tao held the empty cup and said after a while, "I'm a little thirsty. I came out to get some water."

 Tao Zhi glanced at the cup and reached out his hand.

Grandpa Tao didn't refuse. He handed the cup over, and the two of them stood under the dim night light.

After a while, Grandpa Tao couldn't help but ask, "What are your plans for your return this time?"

Tao Zhi guessed that he had heard the conversation just now. After all, they didn't close the door when they were talking just now. Grandpa Tao could easily hear them from the first floor.

 "I want to join the company. I don't plan on going back." Tao Zhi said as he poured water.

Grandpa Tao nodded and agreed. "Alright, that's good. We need someone to take over the company. Your father has been staying here all this time. Second Brother likes photography and is not cut out for it. Your other siblings are still in school. You're the most suitable candidate."

 Tao Zhi smiled bitterly. So this was his value?

 Grandpa Tao then said, "I remember that you liked music when you were young. Do you still like it now?"

 Tao Zhi shook his head. "It's not important anymore."

 Grandpa Tao paused for a moment before saying, "Our family bought a few music production companies a few years ago. You can work there first."

 Tao Zhi didn't expect him to say that. When he said that he liked music, his grandfather was the one who opposed him the most. Grandpa Tao believed that playing music was a waste of time.

"Thank you, Grandpa." Tao Zhi smiled. "I've made up my mind. I want to protect my younger siblings and let them grow up freely. And just like what I said to my parents just now, it doesn't mean that I can't make music while working at the company. As you said, we have a music company too. If I want to do music, I can do it there."

 Grandpa Tao smiled. "You've grown up."

 "People need to grow." Tao Zhi felt completely relaxed. "I'd rather be with my family."

 "Alright." Grandpa Tao said, "I'm going back to sleep. I'm old and can't stay up late."

Tao Zhi glanced at the cup in his hand and handed it over. "Grandpa, you forgot your water."

Under the dim light, Grandpa Tao's expression was a little strange. He seemed to have just remembered what he was here for. "Oh, right."

 The night slowly disappeared and the sun came out.

Tan Rou woke up at the urging of the alarm clock. She didn't have the habit of lazing in bed. As soon as the alarm clock rang, she would get up and quickly put on her clothes to do her morning exercise.

 However, there was one more person when she was exercising today.

 Tan Rou was doing some warm up beside the artificial lake. She bent down and stretched, but when she looked up, she saw a familiar figure.

"Hey, is the Third Brother also here for a jog too?" Tan Rou walked over.

Zhuang Liu parked his wheelchair on a step, then put his walking stick on the ground. He propped himself up with both hands and stood up.

Tan Rou saw this and stopped in her tracks. She said happily, "Third Brother's leg is recovering very well."

Zhuang Liu supported himself with his walking stick and moved slowly. "Yes, I can walk quite the distance with the help of the walking stick."

Tan Rou stood there and waited for him to come over. She was looking forward to seeing Zhuang Liu put down his crutch and walk healthily.

Zhuang Liu didn't disappoint her. He didn't fall even once after walking for more than ten meters.

Tan Rou decided not to run today. She would accompany Zhuang Liu for rehabilitation training instead.

 Zhuang Liu was naturally very happy. He usually didn't have the chance to talk to Tan Rou, but today he could finally talk to his heart's content.

 "Xiao Rou, when did you move here?" Zhuang Liu asked.

 "I moved in on Thursday." Tan Rou replied, "I thought about mentioning it to you, but then I remembered that you don't live here which was why I didn't say anything."

 Zhuang Liu said anxiously, "I'm here, I live here now!"

 Tan Rou narrowed her eyes and smiled. "I can tell. You slept here last night, but wouldn't that be far from the company?"

 "It's okay. I can wake up earlier in the morning. Besides, I'm the boss. I'm not afraid of being late."

"True! This is the privilege of being the boss." Tan Rou smiled.
