Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years

Guan Juer curled up in Li Haoyu's arms.

She was still savoring what had just happened.

This time, Guan Juer has truly opened up a new world.

She never knew that doing this could be so enjoyable.

No wonder being in love makes you glow.

Although she had only known Li Haoyu for a short time, he had given her an unprecedented feeling and an extreme and joyful experience.

Even Guan Juer didn't know if there might be even greater limits.

After all, it was she who begged for mercy and stopped last night.

Guan Juer suddenly thought how wonderful it would be if the two of them could stay together like this forever.

Is this what happiness feels like?

…………

Li Haoyu drove Guan Juer with him.

He casually asked Guan Juer a question.

"Where do you want me to take you?"

Guan Juer had just suddenly told him to wash up and go downstairs to get the car, acting all mysterious.

"It's nothing really. I need to pick someone up from the airport. I was planning to go by myself, but they've already arrived, so I'll have to trouble you."

Guan Juer was a little hesitant to say this.

They didn't even dare to speak loudly.

Li Haoyu asked directly, "Are you picking someone up? What's so hard about it? It's not like it's your ex-boyfriend, is it?"

Guan Juer's face immediately changed color

"You're my only boyfriend, and I've never been in a relationship before. If you keep talking nonsense, I'm really going to get angry."

"Haha... My bad."

"Since he's not your ex-boyfriend, there's nothing to be embarrassed about telling me. Strictly speaking, we're the closest people to each other."

Guan Juer was about to get angry.

Li Haoyu spoke with great confidence.

That's absolutely right.

Besides, given Guan Juer's incredibly simple social relationships, what's there to be embarrassed about?

Guan Juer heard this...

She hesitated for a long time before finally uttering a soft sentence.

"Actually, you're not wrong. Anyway, I've already decided on you. As long as you don't break the law and treat me well, I'll be with you for the rest of my life."

cough cough...

Li Haoyu couldn't help but cough a few times.

It wasn't because Guan Juer's words were cheesy, but he suddenly thought of the other four beauties from Ode to Joy. If Guan Juer really knew all this, he wondered how she would feel.

"Alright, you can keep this to yourself; there's no need to tell anyone."

Guan Juer gently bit her lip.

"I just like you."

"Besides... it's not like it's anything shameful. You're my boyfriend, there's nothing to be embarrassed about."

"Then do whatever makes you happy. Say whatever makes you happy. But you still haven't told me who you're picking up at the airport, so don't think you can change the subject."

Guan Juer hesitated for a long time.

She finally revealed the real reason.

"My parents heard that I have a boyfriend, so they just flew to see me and also wanted to check if my boyfriend is reliable."

Li Haoyu: ……

"There's nothing hard to say, but I've noticed a blind spot. Back then, we weren't officially dating. You weren't already eyeing me all along, were you?"

Guan Juer blushed slightly.

After a while.

Guan Juer explained, "I only went on blind dates to appease my parents so they wouldn't pressure me. It was definitely my fault, you're not angry with me, are you?"

Li Haoyu gently touched Guan Juer's upturned nose.

"Don't worry, I'm not that petty. But since I'm meeting your parents, I need to make some preparations."

Li Haoyu drove for a while and then suddenly pulled over to the side of the road.

Guan Juer asked curiously, "Why did you stop the car? We're in a bit of a rush."

Li Haoyu rolled his eyes at her.

"No one goes to meet their mother-in-law empty-handed the first time. I'll just go to the mall and buy a few things to tide me over."

"Isn't that unnecessary?"

Guan Juer waved her hand: "My parents aren't the kind of people who are materialistic. As long as you go there, they should be satisfied."

Li Haoyu glanced at Guan Juer: "It's never a bad thing to be polite, just listen to me. Anyway, we're already at the mall, the gifts we bought won't take long."

........

This is a premium supermarket.

As soon as Li Haoyu's Bentley appeared, security guards stepped forward to help him clear a parking space.

This is not a privilege everyone receives; you definitely wouldn't get such treatment unless you were driving a luxury car.

It has to be said that this kind of treatment is indeed secretly pleasing.

Li Haoyu got out of the car, took Guan Juer's little hand, and walked into the mall.

Li Haoyu was dressed in a smart suit, and with a pretty young woman by his side, he attracted a lot of attention.

It's a bit pretentious, but it's also very stylish.

Li Haoyu didn't waste any time and went straight to the boutique on the first floor.

"Get me a pack of cigarettes, two bottles of liquor, and a barrel of pre-Qingming Longjing tea. As for what your mother likes?"

Li Haoyu inquired about Guan Juer.

Guan Juer scratched her head: "My mom doesn't have anything she particularly likes, except maybe gold."

"But I'm really happy that you're coming with me to meet my parents this time. I know you're quite wealthy, but this time you absolutely have to let me pay the bill."

"I'm begging you."

Seeing Guan Juer's insistence, Li Haoyu did not insist either.

"Sure, but everything else is fine. The gold bracelet I've got my eye on isn't cheap. Are you sure your wallet is thick enough?"

Upon hearing Li Haoyu's words, Guan Juer couldn't help but frown.

"Is it really necessary to buy something so expensive? I think the necklace next to it is just fine. Anyway, my mom is easy to fool."

Li Haoyu smiled at Guan Juer: "Your mother is truly blessed to have given birth to such a filial daughter as you."

Guan Juer was provoked by Li Haoyu.

She had no choice but to bite the bullet and take out her credit card.

However, Li Haoyu could clearly see that the waitress's hand was a little stiff when she took the credit card away.

Li Haoyu brought Guan Juer to the airport.

At this time, Guan Juer's parents were already waiting at the station entrance.

Mr. Guan was dressed in a classic style, a typical outfit for retired cadres, the kind of attire that wouldn't go wrong if you worked within the system.

On the contrary, Guan's mother was dressed very fashionably, wearing a beige long dress, black sunglasses, and a perm.

She looks very young overall, and you can tell that Guan's mother must have been a great beauty when she was young.

"Dad, Mom, why did you surprise me again? You didn't tell me you were coming to Shanghai earlier."

Guan Juer immediately hugged him.

Li Haoyu quickly greeted them, "Hello, Uncle, hello, Aunt, my name is Li Haoyu, and I'm Guan Guan's boyfriend."

Mr. Guan simply nodded.

After carefully examining Li Haoyu, Guan's mother smiled warmly.

This smile was something that even Guan Juer, let alone Guan's father, had rarely seen.

"Xiao Li, thank you so much. I told you I could just take a taxi, but Guan Juer disagreed, so I'm sorry to have troubled you to pick me up."

You can't just believe everything a woman says, especially not your mother-in-law.

Li Haoyu smiled and waved his hand.

"What are you saying? This is what a junior should do. Uncle and Aunt, please get in the car quickly, it's quite windy here."

"I know a pretty good restaurant, let's go eat there now."

Guan Juer then moved to the passenger seat from the back.

"Mom and Dad, shall we go eat first?"

Guan Juer said softly.

Guan's mother had always thought Li Haoyu was a handsome and talented man.

Later, I saw Li Haoyu driving a luxury car. Although I wouldn't say I was materialistic, I couldn't help but feel a bit more favorably disposed towards him.

"Okay, son-in-law, I trust your judgment."

Guan Juer glared angrily at her mother in the back row, but a slight smile appeared on her lips. .

Guan's mother then began to question Li Haoyu about his situation.

However, Li Haoyu answered fluently and remained neither humble nor arrogant.

Now, not only Guan's mother, but even Guan's father was very satisfied with his son-in-law's performance.

……

The meal was very enjoyable.

However, they don't plan to leave; they intend to stay in Shanghai for a few days and do some sightseeing.

Guan Juer kept trying to persuade her parents to go home.

However, Li Haoyu was "sabotaging" things from the side.

He not only advised the two to stay in Shanghai for a couple more years, but even offered to be their guide.

This infuriated Guan Juer.

She never expected that Li Haoyu would choose to become a traitor in order to please her parents.

Guan Juer still did not give up.

However, the reasons seem rather weak.

She even received complaints from her mother because of this.

"How can you be so inconsiderate? We finally managed to get out of town, and you're kicking us out. You're my own daughter, yet you're not as considerate as Xiao Li."

Fortunately, the parents declined Li Haoyu's offer to be their tour guide and decided to explore on their own.

This put Guan Juer at ease a little.

After dinner, the two of them knew that Guan Juer was sharing an apartment with someone else, so they decided to go to a nearby hotel to book a room.

Li Haoyu had already arranged all of this.

On the way back, Guan Juer finally couldn't help but sigh.

"You're quite the actor, aren't you?"

Li Haoyu: "How can you say that about me? I'm speaking from the heart."

"Overall, your performance was quite good and deserves praise."

Li Haoyu glanced at her and smiled.

"Of course, they're my parents-in-law. I definitely have to seize the opportunity to climb the ranks as fast as I can, otherwise how can I keep you tied to me for life?"

Guan Juer remained silent for a while, her eyes fixed intently on Li Haoyu.

"Wouldn't you get tired of binding me to your life?"

The conversation suddenly shifted from her parents to Li Haoyu.

Li Haoyu smiled broadly: "This isn't something I can decide just by saying it now. But I can still give you an answer."

Many years later, I may not remember whether my nose was straight or slightly upturned. I may not remember whether my eyes were double-lidded or single-lidded.

"Do you prefer to hide your ears behind your hair, or do they show, delicate and graceful, like pearls?"

"But at least one thing is certain. Time may erase many things, but my feelings for you will last forever."

Are you satisfied with this answer?

Guan Juer was truly moved by Li Haoyu's words.

She nodded several times along the way.

However, Guan Juer was completely unaware of this.

Li Haoyu did not answer the question directly.

Li Haoyu smiled and said, "However, there is one thing I did overlook: a lifetime is indeed too long. While we are young, we should do as much as we can."

Guan Juer didn't think anything of it at first.

Li Haoyu, however, kept grinning mischievously.

Guan Juer thought about it for a moment and suddenly realized... it was quite profound.

Guan Juer's face flushed, and she couldn't help but mutter a curse under her breath.

However, she also somewhat agreed with it in her heart.

…………

After seeing Guan Juer off, Li Haoyu returned to Snail Games.

Andy didn't look too good.

Li Haoyu assumed Andy was angry with him. After all, he had just taken Andy's body and then disappeared for so long. He also didn't inquire about the Snail Game at all.

It's actually quite understandable that Andy is angry with herself.

Li Haoyu was about to offer a few excuses.

But Andy beat him to it.

"A major incident happened while you were away: our IPO was halted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. They've also asked us to provide relevant documents for their review."

Li Haoyu's expression darkened.

"What's the reason?"

Andy handed over a stack of documents.

"The China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) said that Chinese companies listed in the U.S. must disclose to the SEC and investors the risk of Chinese government interference in their business as part of their periodic reporting obligations."

"I need more..."

"Tell me everything you want."

Andy continued, "There are also allegations that our Snail Games is involved in unfair competition and disrupting the market, as well as data security issues."

Li Haoyu said coldly, "Nonsense, don't they even consider what they themselves did?"

"The companies they invest in in China are all companies that are grabbing a piece of the existing pie. They not only fail to bring technological progress, but also take the profits and capital appreciation back to China. These are all traps they have set."

"With such shameless behavior, they still have the nerve to accuse us of disrupting the market. They have no shame at all. If they push us too far, we'll just list on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange."

Andy nodded. "That's right. The way they ate this time was really unsightly."

"They just flipped the table because they couldn't win; that's so shameless."

Li Haoyu said, "Immediately call all directors and above to the office for a meeting. Since we're about to go to war, we must first reach a consensus."

The meeting was quickly prepared.

The attendees all had grim expressions, as their interests were directly tied to whether the company could go public.

If Snail Games can be launched as originally planned.

Everyone in the conference room can now be financially independent.

Even Qiu Yingying, who is usually carefree and cheerful, could sense that something was off about the atmosphere.

She sat obediently next to Li Haoyu.

Li Haoyu saw that everyone was there.

Li Haoyu said directly to Andy, "Give up all illusions for now and prepare for a direct listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange."

"this?"

Not only Andy, but all the other senior executives of Snail Games were stunned.

Andy frowned and said, "They're just asking us to attend a hearing now; maybe things can still turn around. Is it really necessary to be so ruthless?"

Li Haoyu shook his head and said, "This is no longer a simple matter of interests; it's a struggle for the fate of the nation, so let's abandon any illusions."

Andy nodded: "Should we refuse the hearing?"

"Of course I won't refuse. This is a free opportunity. So many people would kill for this chance, let's just do it."

Li Haoyu waved his hand and said, "Besides, even if Snail Games gives up on listing in the US, I'll still take a piece of their flesh and eat it."

"What if we lose?"

The current executives are all silent.

Only Andy could say something like that.

"We lost..."

Li Haoyu grinned.

"Then we should disgust them too."
