Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

Chapter 182: Nothing But Thirty, the Heroines Gather

Before Gu Jia could respond, Wang Manni, considering the photo she had just shown her, directly suggested:

"Gu Jia, since we're already friends, can I ask what you mean by using this bag as a stepping stone?"

"This is a long story, I'll tell you if you're willing to listen!"

After that, Gu Jia saw Wang Manni nodded slightly, and explained with a smile:

"I recently met Mrs. Wang who lives on the top floor. She took me to a gathering of wives' circles. Among them was a Mrs. Yu. Her family runs an amusement park business, which is perfect for helping our fireworks company expand its business.

I noticed they were quite fond of bags, so I decided to use this bag as a breakthrough point to help me successfully join the wives' circle."

"Oh, I see. That's pretty much what I guessed."

Wang Manni nodded and continued, "Since you want to use this bag as an admission ticket, let me give you a suggestion. Based on my years of experience in luxury goods sales, it would be better for you to just spend a little more money and buy a limited edition!

Because I know this group of people better, they have a ranking when choosing styles. What they want to buy most are those limited editions, which merchants use as gimmicks. These rich ladies are happy to collect them one by one, because they think that classic models are too boring to use after three to five years!

After hearing Wang Manni's analysis, Zhong Xiaoqin couldn't help but feel that she had learned a lot, so she sighed:

"Manni, you're so understanding. I didn't know the wives' circle is so complicated."

"After spending so much time with them, I've come to understand this. Besides, these ladies have nothing to do all day, and their families aren't short of money, so they just go shopping and have parties, and then compete with each other!"

At this point, Wang Manni suddenly felt that she had said something wrong, and quickly apologized to Gu Jia:

"I'm sorry, Gu Jia, please don't misunderstand me. I'm not talking about you. Look at you, you manage the house and the company in perfect order. You look like the perfect wife!"

"It's okay, I know what you mean. They are indeed boring. If my company hadn't encountered some difficulties and needed orders from Mrs. Yu and her family, I wouldn't choose to deal with them so much!

But that's how life is. The more you dislike it, the more God will leave you no choice. I have no choice but to bite the bullet and squeeze into this so-called circle of wives!"

As she spoke, Gu Jia took a sip of coffee somewhat dejectedly and looked out the window with tired eyes.

Seeing that Gu Jia was a little sad, Zhong Xiaoqin held her hand distressedly and comforted her:

"Gu Gu, don't worry, I believe your fireworks company will be able to overcome this difficulty.

Once Manni helps you buy the limited edition bag, you can easily enter the wives' circle, didn't you say that?

Mrs. Yu's family has licenses for three theme parks. If she can give you the license to set off fireworks at one of them, you'll be busy enough!"

"Thank you, Xiaoqin, I'm fine!"

Gu Jia nodded slightly, thanked her best friend, then looked at Wang Manni and smiled:

"Manni, I'm leaving this matter to you. You must help me get this limited edition bag of this brand!

Also, I may have to trouble you in the future, so you must give me more advice and don't think I'm annoying!"

"No problem, I'll definitely help you with this. I'll look around the clients around me and see if there are any that can be helpful to your fireworks business. I'll introduce them to you then!"

Wang Manni nodded, agreed with a smile, and planned to help her find customers.

Hearing this, Zhong Xiaoqin suddenly had an idea and said, "Manni, you might really be able to help with this matter!

Your lawyer Han must know a lot of business tycoons. If you have any real estate clients, you can introduce them to Gu Gu. They need to celebrate the opening of a new property or the laying of a foundation stone, so how can they miss fireworks? "

"Xiaoqin, this has already caused a lot of trouble for Manni, how can we cause more trouble for Lawyer Han!"

Gu Jia spoke up to stop Zhong Xiaoqin. In fact, she had also thought about asking Han Tao for help, but Han Tao had helped her so many times, she was really embarrassed to ask.

Seeing that Gu Jia was a little embarrassed, Wang Manni agreed with Zhong Xiaoqin's words and nodded:

"Gu Jia, I think what Xiaoqin said makes sense. Don't be so polite to me. I'll ask Han Tao for you later!"

Gu Jia smiled and thanked him, "Then I won't be polite, Manni, thank you so much today!"

In this way, the three of them chatted for a long time, and Gu Jia also invited Wang Manni to visit her home.

Therefore, the three heroines of Nothing But Thirty officially gathered together for the first time. Perhaps driven by the fate of the plot, the three became friends as soon as they met.

Moreover, Wang Manni no longer has the restraint and envy of the original plot. This can be regarded as a small instigation of Han Tao's butterfly wings. If Wang Manni had not moved to the 20th floor, he would definitely be shocked by Gu Jia's luxurious house.

Because although she had been to Grand Hyatt before, she had never been to a customer's home. Even if she was exchanging goods or delivering something, she would wait outside the door.

But since she moved into the 20th floor, and Han Tao let her live there as the owner, she became much more confident, so when she saw Gu Jia's house again, it was just that.

Just as the three of them came out of Xu Ziyan's room, talking and laughing, the family's nanny, Sister Chen, placed a few cakes on the dining table and called out:

"Jia Jia, the cake is cut, come and eat!"

"Is there any cake? Gu Gu, you are deliberately trying to make me jealous!"

Zhong Xiaoqin looked at the cake on the table and couldn't help pouting and complaining.

Gu Jia laughed and said, "You little greedy cat, it's okay to eat a little. Anyway, the file creation is tomorrow's business!"

Hearing that she could eat sweets, Zhong Xiaoqin asked happily: "Gu Gu, is what you said true? Can I eat it?"

"Of course you can eat it. Being pregnant doesn't mean you can't eat any sweets at all. You just can't eat too much to avoid developing diabetes!"

"Xiaoqin, are you pregnant?"

Wang Manni was surprised by Gu Jia's words. She stared at Zhong Xiaoqin who was eating noodles with wide eyes and said:

"You have such a great figure. If Gu Jia hadn't said it, no one would have noticed it!"

"hehe!"

Zhong Xiaoqin smiled happily, touching her belly and said, "Manni, no one in the company knows about this. You have to keep it a secret for me. After the file is created, I'll go and tell the boss!"

"No problem, I will keep it a secret for you!"

Wang Manni nodded, picked up a piece of cake with a fork and put it in her mouth, then looked at Gu Jia in surprise and asked:

"Gu Jia, this cake is delicious. Did you make it?"

"Well, I made it. Zi Yan likes it, so I spent some time learning how to make it!"

"GuGu is not only good at making cakes, but also desserts and cookies. I'm just not sure if I'll be able to eat them anymore because I'm afraid the doctor will tell me to control my weight after the checkup tomorrow!"

After Zhong Xiaoqin finished speaking, Wang Manni looked at Gu Jia and said with a smile:

"Gu Jia, you are amazing! From the moment I entered the room, I realized that you are a person who is particularly good at taking care of life!"

"I'm embarrassed by your praise!"

Gu Jia smiled and looked at Wang Manni: "Manni, if you like it, I'll make some for you tomorrow after I go buy some pregnancy books with Xiaoqin. It's a good opportunity to thank Lawyer Han for his help!"

"That's too much trouble. Just call me and we can come visit together. I can ask him if he has any good clients to introduce to you!"

Seeing Wang Manni and Gu Jia getting along so well, Zhong Xiaoqin was also very happy. Thinking of Wang Manni using her own quota to help this time, she said:

"Manni, if you need anything, just tell me. As long as you don't mind, I can help you!"

At this point, Zhong Xiaoqin suddenly remembered her family's financial situation and felt that she couldn't afford to buy as many luxury goods as Gu Jia, so she said embarrassedly:

"But I have to wait until your store has some promotions, because if there's no discount, I can't afford it!"

Hearing this, Wang Manni looked at Zhong Xiaoqin in surprise, then smiled and said, "Xiaoqin, not all luxury goods are that expensive!

You can definitely ask your teacher, Teacher Chen, to buy you something relatively inexpensive as a pregnancy gift!"

"Just him?"

Zhong Xiaoqin snorted disapprovingly, then exchanged glances with Gu Jia and said in unison, "Forget it!"

Seeing this, Wang Manni couldn't help but ask about the situation. She learned the basic situation from Zhong Xiaoqin, so she didn't continue the topic.

Chapter 183 Andy Asks for Help

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a day had passed. Han Tao, who had been busy at the law firm all day, finally finished his work in the evening.

After he sent messages to Zhu Suosuo and others, he walked out of the hall accompanied by Wendy.

In the parking lot, after a few words, the two got into their own cars.

There was no conversation along the way. Twenty minutes later, Yang Dongxu parked the car in the underground parking lot of Ode to Joy. Han Tao opened the car door by himself and walked towards the elevator alone.

Soon the elevator stopped on the first floor. Han Tao looked outside and saw people from the property management company and the elevator company. It turned out that the results of the handling of the previous elevator accident had come out, and the two of them came specifically to apologize to him and several girls on the 22nd floor.

After Han Tao knew the whole story, he immediately decided not to go home. After all, he was acting as the owner and the lawyer of the five beauties on the 22nd floor, helping them to get an explanation from the property management.

So he couldn't just ignore it when he encountered it, so he went to the 22nd floor accompanied by the elevator company and property staff.

However, as soon as he got out of the elevator, Han Tao saw Andy borrowing a phone from Fan Shengmei, saying that her door lock was broken, so she wanted to borrow the phone to call 911.

Hearing this, Fan Shengmei held back her laughter and looked at Andy, thinking she was so funny. She must have stayed abroad for too long and had to dial 911 to report a fire.

Helpless, Fan Shengmei could only accompany her to check, while jokingly saying: "Andy, this is China, there is no 911, there is only 119.

Besides, it's just a small matter like a broken door lock. There's no need to bother the firefighters. Just call a locksmith and he'll fix it in five minutes!"

Hearing this, Andy looked at Fan Shengmei curiously and asked, "Is this simple? Is there really someone who specializes in unlocking things?"

"Of course, there is nothing you can't do in China!"

Fan Shengmei smiled. She knew that Andy had just returned to China not long ago, so she didn't know that there was such an industry.

But after responding to Andy, Fan Shengmei was also stunned when she saw the door lock in front of her. She asked in surprise: "Oh my god, is this an electronic lock?"

"Yup!"

Andy nodded, tried pressing the buttons for a while, then looked at Fan Shengmei and replied as a matter of course: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

"That's not true!"

Fan Shengmei, feeling her face swollen from the blow, slapped her forehead and replied helplessly, "But with a high-tech electronic lock, I don't think even the door unlocker can open it!"

"So, we still need to call the firefighters, right?"

After saying that, Andy looked at Fan Shengmei with an expression that said, "Look, I said we need to call the firefighters."

Fan Shengmei squatted down, preparing to study the door lock, and said, "I really don't understand electronic locks. Do I really need to call a firefighter?"

Han Tao couldn't help but laugh when he saw the two of them struggling with the electronic door lock.

"Andy, is the door stuck? I don't think we need to bother the firefighters with such a small matter. I think a lawyer can handle it, too. Hahaha!"

"Han Yul? It's great to see you. Do you know anything about door locks?

My lock seems to be broken. It was working fine when I left home in the morning, but it stopped working when I got home from get off work. I tried everything but couldn't get it to open.

Andy didn't expect to see Han Tao. He said in the group that he was busy recently and hadn't been back for several days. So, she had no idea what to do with the electronic lock, so she seized the opportunity to seek help.

Fan Shengmei, who was standing by, saw Han Tao appear on the 22nd floor and asked with some confusion:

"Hey, handsome Han, why are you so busy here on the 22nd floor?"

"Haha, I ran into the property management and elevator company downstairs and they told me to come up and apologize, so we came over to take a look."

Han Tao smiled and explained why he appeared on the 22nd floor.

As soon as he finished speaking, two people from the property management company and the elevator company hurried forward, and the property manager spoke first:

"Hello, Miss Andy and Miss Fan. I'm Li Liang, the property manager of the Ode to Joy residential complex. This is Mr. Xiaolin from the elevator company. We've come here to apologize for the last elevator accident."

"Oh!"

When Andy heard that the purpose of these two people's visit was related to him, he gave up unlocking the door and walked over.

"The results are out!"

When Fan Shengmei learned the result, she looked at the two of them with anticipation.

Manager Li from the property management company and Xiao Lin from the elevator company saw that the three of them were looking at them. After exchanging a glance, Xiao Lin next to the property manager immediately bowed and presented his business card.

"I'm Xiaolin from the elevator company. I'm very sorry that we've caused so much trouble to you all because of our mistakes.

Our technicians have checked all the elevators in the community one by one, especially those in this building, and all of them have been inspected and maintained.

So I can assure you that something like this will never happen again."

"What can you guarantee? Do you know that because of what happened last time, we don't dare to use the elevator anymore.

There's no other way. Running up the stairs over twenty floors every day, do you know how tiring it is?"

After saying that, Fan Shengmei cleverly touched Andy's arm and then acted very angry.

With Andy's intelligence, how could she not know what Fan Shengmei meant? She was indeed frightened, and she also believed that elevator safety should not be taken lightly, so she chimed in:

"The safe operation of elevators is really important. This incident has had a serious impact on us, so I hope that such problems will not occur again in the future, OK!"
