Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

Gu Jia looked at Mrs. Wang in surprise. She really didn't expect that the kindergarten would have such an interest chain. She thought that the chairman of the kindergarten's parent committee was at best just accepting gifts as she knew before.

Mrs. Wang smiled faintly and said, "What do you think? This is why she lost her composure, and this is also the key reason why she can't tolerate you!"

“I really haven’t thought about this!”

Gu Jia smiled helplessly. This was an unprovoked disaster for her. She just said a few truths in the WeChat group. She didn't expect the principal to bring her into the parent committee. However, she didn't replace anyone, so why did the other party feel so wary of her?

Mrs. Wang looked at Gu Jia. She had some things to say but she didn't want to continue the topic. Instead, she said:

"Actually, I think highly of you. You're a very capable person. You know exactly what you want and how to get it.

At the same time, you also know when to advance and when to retreat, and understand the ways of the world. This time, you gave me face, and I will give you a chance. There will be a party in the wives' circle in a few days. You should prepare well and don't miss the opportunity to come in! "

After saying that, Mrs. Wang picked up the coffee and looked at Gu Jia, then took a sip with a smile and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Gu Jia understood and stood up to thank her, saying goodbye: "Thank you, Mrs. Wang, I will definitely not let you down this time!

It’s getting late, I won’t bother you anymore, goodbye.”

"Okay, then I won't see you off. When the time comes, I'll let you know a day in advance!"

"No problem, sorry for the trouble!"

………………

After returning from Mrs. Wang's house, Gu Jia thought about it again and again, and called Zhong Xiaoqin, who was on vacation today, to her home. When she came, she told her that she wanted to buy a bag.

When Zhong Xiaoqin heard Gu Jia ask her if she knew anyone, the first person she thought of was Wang Manni, so she called her.

When Wang Manni received a call from Zhong Xiaoqin, she did not refuse. She directly told the deputy store manager about the situation and hurried back to Grand Hyatt.

Gu Jia lives on the twelfth floor. She had previously learned about the prices and house types on each floor. A house costs just over 10 million yuan, so her spending power can be estimated, and she is considered a high-quality customer.

After receiving the warm greeting from the property staff, Wang Manni got on the elevator with a smile. After reaching the twelfth floor, she calmly knocked on Gu Jia's door.

After waiting for a while, Gu Jia opened the door. Zhong Xiaoqin, who was standing behind her, saw Wang Manni outside and hurriedly introduced her:

"Gu Gu, he's the friend Wang Manni I told you about!"

After saying that, Zhong Xiaoqin stepped forward and pulled Wang Manni, saying, "Manni, thank you for coming all the way here. This is my good friend Gu Jia!"

Hearing this, Wang Manni looked at Gu Jia politely. Seeing that the other person was actually someone she had met twice before, she was surprised:

"It turns out to be you!"

"What a coincidence! I'm so sorry about that day. Did you wash your clothes afterwards?"

When Gu Jia saw that Wang Manni was the one she spilled coffee on, she exclaimed in surprise and then apologized sincerely.

Looking at Gu Jia who apologized sincerely, Wang Manni smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the good friend Xiaoqin was talking about was you. What a coincidence. The clothes are not in the way. They have been washed."

Seeing that Wang Manni and Gu Jia knew each other, Zhong Xiaoqin widened her eyes slightly and looked at them, curiously asking, "Do you know each other?"

Gu Jia looked at Zhong Xiaoqin, who was full of curiosity, and explained the reason to her with a smile:

"A few days ago, I stained Manni's clothes at the mall. I wanted to pay her for the dry cleaning, but Manni refused. I didn't expect to see her again today!"

"What a coincidence!"

Hearing this, Zhong Xiaoqin smiled in surprise. She didn't expect that Gu Jia and Wang Manni had such a connection. This made her feel that the world was very small.

But think about it, they both live in Grand Hyatt Residences, and Wang Manni works at Missia in the shopping mall downstairs, so it’s not too surprising.

Wang Manni laughed and said, "It's even more coincidental. In fact, I and Gu Jia have seen each other once before, right outside our store!"

After hearing Wang Manni's words, Gu Jia followed her memory and recalled that day when the two of them had indeed met, so she sighed:

"Oh, don't tell me, this is really fate!"

After saying that, he quickly turned sideways and greeted enthusiastically: "Let's stop chatting at the door and come in!"

"If we really talk about fate, Gu Gu, you may not know that you and Manni are actually neighbors!

She also lives in Grand Hyatt Residences. We are all friends, so we can visit more often in the future!"

While pulling Wang Manni inside, Zhong Xiaoqin told Gu Jia that Wang Manni also lived in Grand Hyatt Mansion.

Hearing this, Gu Jia didn't think that Wang Manni was the owner. She thought she was renting the place or something like that, so she poured water for Wang Manni and said,

"That's such a coincidence! I just moved here not long ago and don't know anyone here. Manni, please come visit more often in the future!"

"Okay, when you're free, you and Xiaoqin can come to my place and I'll make dumplings for you!"

Wang Manni followed Zhong Xiaoqin to the sofa. She looked around the house. Compared with where she lived on the 20th floor, the area and decoration were much worse.

But there is one thing that her home is good at, and that is warmth and popularity, and every corner of the house is kept in order. From this point of view, Gu Jia is definitely a good wife and mother.

Chapter 181 Gu Jia asks Wang Manni for help

Hearing Wang Manni mention dumplings, Zhong Xiaoqin happily raised her hand and agreed with the suggestion: "That's great, Manni's dumplings are especially delicious!"

At this point, she thought about how far away she was, and without waiting for everyone to express their opinions, she continued with a bit of disappointment:

"I really envy you two for living so close to each other. Gu Gu lives on the 12th floor, and Man Ni lives on the 20th floor. But it's not that convenient for me. Even if I take a taxi, it will take me 20 minutes to get there!"

"Manni lives on the 20th floor?"

Hearing this, Gu Jia looked at Wang Manni and her bestie Zhong Xiaoqin in surprise, handed over two cups of coffee, and then asked:

"Manni, you live on the 20th floor, so what is your relationship with Lawyer Han Tao?"

"Thank you. Han Tao is my boyfriend. Do you know him?"

After saying that, Wang Manni looked at Gu Jia, took the quilt she handed over, and thanked her.

Gu Jia nodded and smiled, "It just so happened that everything happened today. Lawyer Han and I are friends. He has helped me twice before, and now he has another case that's bothering him!"

"This is so amazing!"

Before Wang Manni could say anything, Zhong Xiaoqin exclaimed.

She really didn't expect that the three people gathered today all knew Han Tao and had received his help. Wang Manni was so moved by his help that she gave herself to him!

Wang Manni looked at Zhong Xiaoqin, who was like a curious baby, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the three of us really have a deep connection!

But Xiaoqin, you don't have to envy us. If you're willing, you can come stay at our house for a few days. That way, the three of us can spend time together more often.

"How can I do that? You live with Mr. Han, I can't be a light bulb!"

Wang Manni shook her head and said with a smile, "It's okay. Han Tao is usually too busy and always comes home very late. Otherwise, he only comes back one or two days a week. It's really okay for you to come as a guest!"

"Manni, wouldn't it be lonely for you to live alone in such a big house?"

Zhong Xiaoqin felt that she was miserable enough. Chen Yu was often on business trips. She didn't expect that Wang Manni was similar to her. However, Han Tao treated his girlfriend and others much better than her husband Chen Yu!

“I used to feel a little lonely, but luckily I’ve gotten used to being alone after so many years, and I get off work late, so I just go home and take a nap.

In fact, Han Tao also considered this. He originally wanted to arrange a nanny for me, but I didn’t agree.

But she still found a nanny to make breakfast and dinner and clean up, so in the morning there was a nanny who came to make breakfast, and with the smell of fireworks, she felt less lonely.

As she spoke, Wang Manni looked at Gu Jia and said with a smile:

"I won't be afraid anymore in the future. When you have time, you can come and play with me. If I feel bored alone, I can come and sit with Gu Jia!"

"Ok!"

Hearing this, Gu Jia smiled and nodded, saying, "No problem, Manni, you're always welcome to come and play.

Come to think of it, I still owe your lawyer Han several favors. Come over and visit me some other day!"

"That's great. I love the hustle and bustle. Don't forget me when the time comes!"

With this relationship, the three of them became closer. After some pleasantries and small talk, Zhong Xiaoqin finally remembered the important matter and quickly said:

"I almost forgot, Manni, I called you here today because Gu Jia has something urgent and wants your help!"

Hearing this, Wang Manni asked, "Xiaoqin, is this the bag you mentioned on the phone?"

"Well, Gu Jia wants to buy a bag from a big brand. We don't know much about this kind of thing. I know you are Missia's sales manager and have been a top salesperson for many years. You must have a lot of connections, so I thought I'd ask you to help her."

After Zhong Xiaoqin finished speaking, Gu Jia took over and continued, "I'm really sorry to trouble you with this, Manni. I've also contacted many salespeople, and they all said that this bag will take a long time to wait, and even if I want to buy it now, I can't buy it."

"I understand!"

Wang Manni nodded slightly, looked at Gu Jia and smiled, "I can try it. Do you know which one it is?"

"Manni, take a look. I want to buy this bag, but the salesperson in their store said it's out of stock and I might have to wait in line to buy it, so I asked a lot of people for help!"

As she spoke, Gu Jia opened her circle of friends, pointed to the photo of herself in the circle of wives that was cropped out, and introduced it to Wang Manni.

After taking a look at the group photo, Wang Manni saw that all six wealthy ladies were carrying limited edition bags of the same brand. She nodded in understanding and said,

"I'm quite familiar with this store. The bag you mentioned is the flagship model, so you do need to wait in line. After all, each store has its own sales system. You might consider trying a different style!"

"I've been having some trouble lately, so I need that bag as a stepping stone. Do you have any ideas?"

Gu Jia looked at Wang Manni and explained the reason with a smile.

Zhong Xiaoqin knew very well the efforts Gu Jia had made to maintain the family, so she hurriedly asked:

"Manni, see if there is any way. If you can, you must help Gu Jia!"

Wang Manni thought for a while. After all, favors need to be repaid. However, considering Zhong Xiaoqin's face and Gu Jia's statement that she was Han Tao's client, she nodded and said:

"I have a former colleague who now works in sales for this brand. I'll call her and ask if she has any requirements for the color and size of the bag."

"I just want the classic style and classic color, and as for the size, I want my normal size!"

After saying that, Gu Jia looked at Wang Manni with anticipation.

"okay, I get it!"

Wang Manni nodded slightly, then took out her cell phone from her waist bag and called her former colleague. The call was connected after more than ten seconds.

"Hello, Sister Lin, do you have time now?"

"Yes, I'm Manni. I want to ask, do you still have classic bags in classic colors?"

"Okay, got it. I'll ask her. Wait a moment!"

As she spoke, Wang Manni covered her phone and looked at Gu Jia on the sofa and asked:

"Gu Jia, are you anxious? My friend said it should be possible as early as next month!"

"If we forget about it next month, it might be too late. I'll think of other ways!"

Hearing Gu Jia say this, Wang Manni hesitated for a moment, then turned around and continued talking on the phone:

"No, Sister Lin, please help me, I can't wait that long!"

"He's not my guest, he's my friend who needs me, a very important friend!"

"Yes, help me think of a solution. I know it's difficult!"

"How about this, I'll leave all the quotas I have in our store this year to you.

You know, there are a lot of customers waiting to grab those bags we have. I'll leave all my credit to your customers, and you can just consider it as doing me a favor, is that okay?"

"Okay, let's put it this way. Please help me think of a solution. Thank you, Sister Lin!"

After a few more pleasantries, Wang Manni hung up the phone, sat on the sofa, looked at Gu Jia opposite and smiled:

"Gu Jia, my colleague said she would help me think of a solution. From what she said, it should be fine.

We sell luxury brands and have our own quotas. I think she must have inventory on hand, so don't worry!"

"Manni, I'm so sorry to bother you so much on our first official meeting!"

Gu Jia nodded and poured each of the three people a cup of hot coffee as she spoke.

Wang Manni smiled and said, "It's okay, Gu Jia, you are Xiaoqin's best friend, which means you are also my friend. There's no need to be polite!"

Hearing this, Gu Jia nodded and said, "Thank you, Manni. Let me know if you feel pressured by your performance this month. I will do my best!"

"I told you not to be so polite. Since Xiaoqin asked me to, I have to help you no matter what!"

Wang Manni waved her hand to indicate that it was okay. Although Zhong Xiaoqin didn't help her at the time, she was fine, after all, she had already revealed her identity as the owner.

But Zhong Xiaoqin rushed into the meeting room regardless of everything and spoke for herself at the risk of offending her leader. This kind of heart is very rare, so she still thanked her from the bottom of her heart for her selfless dedication to her friend.
