Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

Hearing this, Gu Jia nodded. After all, it was the first time they met, so it was necessary to get to know each other better. So she smiled and asked:

"Mrs. Wang, what about the others? Is there anything else I should pay attention to?"

"There's also Mrs. Ma. I heard that she and Mrs. Li's families are old friends. Although her family isn't as wealthy as ours, she sent both of her children to Oxford University.

That's why Mrs. Ma often talks about being from a scholarly family, as if that makes her superior. You should judge the person yourself. If you feel you can get along, spend more time with them. If you feel uncomfortable, don't worry too much!

"I know Mrs. Wang, but it seems like this Mrs. Ma is just a Western-worshipper! We don't have any institutions of higher learning in China, so why do we have to emphasize famous foreign universities?"

"That's right. I despise people like her and Mrs. Liu who are so self-righteous. Well, we'll talk about this later. We're here!"

As they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the small reception room where Mrs. Wang and her friends often gathered. At this time, many ladies who had arrived earlier had already started to learn how to cut with the designer.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang greeted everyone with a smile, and then briefly introduced Gu Jia to everyone.

Sure enough, as Mrs. Wang said, even though Mrs. Wang was so rich that she was beyond Gu Jia's reach, in the eyes of this group of rich ladies, she was just a nouveau riche, because these rich ladies were all either rich or noble.

Especially a lady in her forties, who had been making sarcastic remarks ever since Mrs. Wang and herself entered the room. Every word she said was full of sarcasm and her words were full of disdain for Mrs. Wang and herself.

This gave Gu Jia a very bad impression of her and she felt a little embarrassed. Fortunately, the host, Mrs. Li, invited them to take a seat, which eased the atmosphere.

Gu Jia looked at this group of rich ladies and put her bag on the chair behind her with a sense of inferiority. Mrs. Liu began to remind her disdainfully to take out her bag and put it next to her.

Gu Jia responded helplessly with a few words, but when she put down the bags, she noticed that the bags of these ladies were all luxury goods that were jaw-droppingly expensive, and most of them were limited editions.

After that, everyone talked about meaningless topics for a while, and then gathered together to make friends. At this time, Gu Jia discovered that these rich wives were trying to attract business for their husbands while chatting and laughing.

During the conversation, when everyone was talking about Mrs. Yu who was by her side, Mrs. Wang quietly introduced some basic information.

This young Mrs. Yu was originally an 18th-tier minor actress. The husband she married is almost as old as her father. Instead of being ashamed, she is extremely proud of it.

Gu Jia looked down upon brainless and vain women like Mrs. Yu, but when she suddenly heard that Mrs. Yu's husband operated one of the top three amusement parks in the country, Gu Jia immediately sensed a business opportunity.

So Gu Jia immediately added Mrs. Yu’s WeChat. Others might not care, but she knew that places like amusement parks had an astonishing spending power on fireworks.

Therefore, if I can make friends with Mrs. Yu and enter this circle of wives, it will definitely help my company get more business.

Moreover, the existence of the wives' circle allows Gu Jia to see the opportunity to get her company out of trouble in a short period of time. At least she can have a way out. Even if the talks with Mr. Wan fail tomorrow, she will still have a guarantee.

If Han Tao were here, he would find out that Mrs. Yu was Fan Jingang's friend, the aunt of Liang Shuang, a designer from Jingyan Design Department. After saying goodbye to Han Tao and others, she hurried over to attend the party.

Two hours later, the wives' circle gathering ended, but Gu Jia no longer had the confidence she had at the beginning. Because in the subsequent wives' circle chat, not only was their company looked down upon by others because of the scale, but even the baby in her arms was not high-end enough, so she did not dare to show it openly.

Even when taking a group photo, she was excluded by a group of rich ladies. The most hurtful thing was that in the circle of friends posted by everyone, she was photoshopped out.

This naturally dealt a heavy blow to Gu Jia, who had always been arrogant. Gu Jia had always been the central figure in the circles she had been in contact with.

He had always been a top student since he was a child, one of the elite, and the center of everyone's conversation. He had never been looked down upon like this before, which made her feel humiliated for a moment.

This gathering made her secretly decide that she must rely on her own abilities to enter the wives' circle.

After all, Gu Jia is still confident in her knowledge and abilities. As long as she can integrate into this circle, it will not be difficult for her to become an important person.

However, it is not an easy thing to fit in, because she is very clear about women's competitive spirit and focus, so she needs a stepping stone.

The other ladies were all carrying limited edition bags from major luxury brands. She took a look and found that none of them cost less than 100,000 yuan.

So you must at least have a similar bag, so that you can quickly gain recognition from others.

However, although she has some knowledge about luxury goods, she has not done in-depth research. However, for things like luxury goods, she must find a professional to help.

After thinking it over again and again, Gu Jia decided to ask her best friend Zhong Xiaoqin tomorrow. She works in the shopping mall at Grand Hyatt Mansion and should know someone there.

It just so happened that Zhong Xiaoqin needed to supplement her nutrition because of her pregnancy, so she had been eating lunch at home in recent days.

Chapter 158 Zhu Suosuo's Shock

The sun rose, and early the next morning, Han Tao came to the old alley on Nanjing Road to greet the morning sun.

After parking the brand new Panamera downstairs of Luo Jiaming's house, Han Tao sent a message, then got out of the car and leaned against the door waiting.

After a while, Zhu Suosuo, with long hair draped over her shoulders and wearing a bright red dress, ran downstairs with her mobile phone in her hand, looking very surprised.

As she walked out of the corridor, she asked in surprise, "Brother Han, are you really going to take me to see the house? I thought you were just teasing me before, but I didn't expect it to be serious!"

"Silly girl, when have I ever made such a joke!"

After that, Han Tao stroked her nose and continued with a smile: "I never break my promise. Besides, haven't you always wanted to have your own home and move out from your uncle's place as soon as possible?

You are my girlfriend now, so of course I have to help you achieve your wish. Let’s go look at houses now. The property is very close to Jingyan!”

"A house near Jingyan? Brother Han, do you mean to rent me a house near Lujiazui? Isn't that a waste? Land is very expensive there!"

"Let's talk in the car. We can chat slowly on the way!"

Han Tao smiled, then opened the passenger door and motioned for her to get in.

After Zhu Suosuo sat down, Han Tao returned to the driver's seat and helped her fasten her seat belt.

"Renting an apartment in Lujiazui is such a waste, and the rent is so expensive it's really not worth it, so I'll just buy you one and let you live in it!"

"Buying a house in a development near Lujiazui?"

Zhu Suosuo was shocked by the news. She knew how high the housing prices in Shanghai were. Even a two-bedroom apartment in the suburbs would cost several million, not to mention a popular business district like Lujiazui.

Although she had guessed that Han Tao would take her to buy a house, she never thought that it would be near Lujiazui, where the smallest house would cost 20 to 30 million yuan.

Han Tao glanced at her, smiled calmly and said, "Of course, that's our home, we have to choose the best and most convenient place. I can't let Suosuo down!"

"How can I be wronged? As long as I'm with Brother Han, Suosuo will be happy as hell. Even if it's just an ordinary rental house, I've never dreamed of a mansion!"

Zhu Suosuo responded to Han Tao shyly, and after she finished speaking, her face and neck turned red!

"How can you say that you want more? Even if we're together for just one day, I will do my best to give you the best!"

Han Tao responded to Zhu Suosuo seriously and sincerely while starting the car.

Zhu Suosuo also replied with tears in her eyes: "No, Suosuo will never be separated from Brother Han. Promise me that you will never leave Suosuo, okay!"

"Don't cry, Suosuo. Today is a happy day. Besides, how could Brother Han not want you? As long as you don't mind that Brother Han will grow old before you in the future, that's all that's fine!"

"No, Suosuo will take care of you when Brother Han gets old!"

"Hahaha, silly girl!"

The two of them talked and chatted as they headed straight for Binjiang Yipin on Lujiazui Binjiang Avenue.

"Brother Han, did you buy a new car again?"

The car was driving on the busy streets. Zhu Suosuo, who had just come back to her senses from the excitement of buying a house, realized that Han Tao was not driving the Navigator or the BMW 7 Series today. Not only was he driving himself, but he was also driving such a luxurious coupe.

Han Tao smiled and said, "I prepared this for you. This is the latest Porsche Panamera. Do you like it?"

"For me?"

Zhu Suosuo covered his mouth in surprise, afraid that he couldn't help shouting out, happiness came too suddenly, and he had luxury cars and mansions in a day.

"By the way, Suosuo, do you have a driver's license?"

"Yes, when I was a sophomore, Nansun dragged me to take the exam together, and she even paid for my tuition!"

After saying that, Zhu Suosuo looked at Han Tao a little shyly and whispered:

"Brother Han, why did you buy me a car? And it's so expensive! I don't even dare to drive such a nice car!"

"Why wouldn't you be afraid to drive? All the insurance is in place, so you can drive with confidence. But remember, you must drive safely and carefully. Safety is the priority, whether it's your own or someone else's."

"Okay, I get it now!"

Zhu Suosuo nodded: "Actually, taking the subway is quite convenient. I really feel it's a bit of a waste!"

"You still need a means of transportation, and with this car, you can take Nansun or other friends out to play. There are so many fun places around Shanghai!"

As they were talking, they had already arrived at the destination. Han Tao parked the car beautifully and then asked Zhu Suosuo to get out with him.

When I entered the sales office, the sales staff who had made an appointment in advance were already waiting at the entrance of the hall.

The person in charge of receiving them was an urban beauty in her twenties, with fair skin and beautiful looks. She was wearing a black business suit that perfectly showed off her figure. The collar of the white shirt inside the suit was open with two buttons, and when she bent over slightly, a striking cleavage appeared.

Under the black miniskirt was a pair of long, white and smooth legs, clearly exposed to the outside. She was wearing a pair of black high heels and holding a folder in her arms.

Seeing Han Tao and Zhu Suosuo coming in, she hurried over to greet them, then smiled sweetly and said:

"Hello, Mr. Han, Mrs. Han. I'm Xu Yun, the sales manager of Binjiang Yipin. I'm very happy to serve you two. The contract and agreement are ready!"

Before coming, Han Tao called the sales department and property management, so when he saw Han Tao bringing Zhu Suosuo in, the sales manager in charge of reception immediately mistook her for Mrs. Han.

Zhu Suosuo suddenly felt shy when she heard this title. She glanced at Han Tao happily, and when she saw that he did not explain and tacitly accepted the title, her joy grew even stronger.

Han Tao smiled and said, "Manager Xu, since all the previous procedures have been completed, we only need to sign and sign the supplementary agreement, so there is no need to rush.

Take the contract and take us to see the house. We can check in and sign the contract there later."

"No problem. I'll call the legal and property management staff up with me. Please wait a moment!"

After saying that, Xu Yun turned around and called a man and a woman not far away to come over. Then the three of them accompanied Han Tao and Zhu Suosuo out of the sales department and walked towards several buildings not far away.

As they walked, Xu Yun introduced: "Mr. Han, Mrs. Han, our Riverside Residences consists of four extremely luxurious riverside residences and one high-end clubhouse.

Only Buildings AB are for sale; Buildings CD are only available for rent. Your apartment is located in Building B, which has 36 floors and a typical floor area of ​​432 square meters. It also has a 270-degree balcony with a view of the river, just 50 meters away, offering a truly first-line river view.

It is only about 430 meters away from the Financial Street and the Central Building, an eight-minute walk. The amenities are well-developed, with large shopping malls and pedestrian streets nearby, making daily life and shopping very convenient.”

"After all, it's one of the top properties in Shanghai. It's really good!"

Han Tao smiled and said nothing, just nodded, motioning her to continue.

Xu Yun smiled slightly, pointed to a place not far away and said, "You and Mrs. Han, look over there. That's where the high-end club in the community is.

In addition to dining and banquet halls, the club also features an indoor heated swimming pool, comprehensive fitness facilities, a massage pool, a sauna/steam room, a children's playroom, a multi-purpose hall, a beverage bar, a reading room, a lawn terrace, and more."

After Xu Yun finished introducing the club, the property management staff took over and continued to introduce the property management services:

"In addition to these, the property also offers 24-hour concierge services, 24-hour security services, personalized private butler services, cleaning and laundry services, official and business services, reservation and purchasing services, mail delivery services, private banquets, and more."

As they walked and talked, they soon entered the magnificent entrance lobby of Building B, and then took the elevator upstairs under the guidance of the staff.

After reaching the 16th floor and passing through the luxurious corridor, Han Tao's eyes stopped at the two exquisitely crafted entrance doors.

After Xu Yun's subsequent introduction, Han Tao learned that this gate was not simple. It was a bulletproof copper gate made of pure hand-carved patterns from Germany, worth 60 RMB.

Zhu Suosuo curled her lips when she heard this. She was surprised to see that the gate alone had such a great background. She secretly sighed that poverty limited her thoughts, which made her imagine the world behind the gate.

.....................

Chapter 159 Write the names of two people

Looking at the entrance door and the elevator, Han Tao nodded with satisfaction. Three elevators per household ensured privacy and convenience.

Sales Manager Xu Yun signaled the property staff to open the door while continuing to introduce:

"As long as Mr. Han is satisfied, I'm glad. As the top real estate in Shanghai, every apartment in our Binjiang Yipin is designed by a well-known designer.

Moreover, all of them use world-class building materials and facilities, and the corresponding configurations and comprehensive security systems are also rare.

Our building automation system and anti-theft alarm system are manufactured by Honeywell in the United States. The access control card reading system is the technology that Singapore ASIS is most proud of. We also have an American VIDEX electronic patrol system installed in the corridors and buildings."

After the property staff entered the password, Sales Manager Xu Yun helped the two change into shoe covers, then extended his hand to Han Tao and Zhu Suosuo and said,

"Mr. Han, Mrs. Han, please go first!"

"it is good!"

Han Tao nodded, took Zhu Suosuo's hand and walked into the house. He took a quick look at the layout of the living room decoration. Overall, it was very high-end and a real luxury mansion.

The living room they were in was particularly grand, with a European style. The most eye-catching feature was the oversized floor-to-ceiling windows and the beautiful skyline outside.

It feels as if they are right next to each other, and I have a feeling that I own the entire Bund and Huangpu River.

"Mr. Han, your apartment is 420 square meters, with four bedrooms, two living rooms, and five bathrooms. The living room we were just in is 7.4 meters wide and has panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows.

Now in front of you is the master bedroom. Come and take a look. Here is a double-sided luxurious balcony that extends 12 meters and is 2 meters deep. Standing here, you will have a full-angle view of the landscape.

Next, I will take you to see the kitchen. You and Mrs. Han, please come this way. The kitchen walls and floors of all the houses in Binjiang Yipin are made of imported marble, and the matching kitchenware is from Germany’s Poggenpohl…”

Han Tao and Zhu Suosuo listened to the introduction of sales manager Xu Yun while looking around. The whole house was exquisitely laid out and the details were fully reflected.

An ordinary kitchen is actually divided into multiple functional areas, including reserve area, storage area, cleaning area, preparation area, cooking/baking area, etc.

The kitchen cabinets chosen were the famous German kitchenware brand Poggen Pohl that she introduced, while the kitchen appliances chosen were Gaggenau, the world's highest-end built-in kitchen appliance brand.

The last place the group looked at was the bathroom, whose supporting equipment was also from a famous brand, using the Norwegian Nexans floor heating system, the Italian TEUCO ultrasonic massage bathtub, and the German Hansgrohe and Pharo shower groups.
