Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

Han Tao replied, "It's a coincidence, I did just finish dinner with a client, and I saw Guan Guan post a message in the group saying he was still working overtime.

Out of concern, I was afraid that she would be scared as a girl, so I came to pick her up!"

"Auntie has guessed it. If that's the case, then Auntie won't beat around the bush with you. Xiao Han, are you pursuing our Guan Guan?"

Guan Juer's mother didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

Han Tao heard Guan's mother's question and glanced at Guan Juer beside him again. Seeing her blushing and looking away, he smiled and replied:

"Auntie, I don't want to lie. I do have a crush on Guan Guan, but things between us are not what you think. After all, I just moved here not long ago."

"I understand!"

Before Han Tao could finish, Guan's mother interrupted him and said in a somewhat excited tone, "Xiao Han, I know what you mean. I don't object to you young people dating.

Just like you said, you and Guan Guan have just met, don't be anxious, just get to know each other slowly!"

After that, she smiled and spoke again: "Give the phone to Guan Guan, I want to talk to her!"

"Okay, Auntie, thank you for your understanding and support!"

After thanking him, Han Tao returned the phone to Guan Juer, who was a little anxious.

At this time, Guan Juer, after taking the phone, immediately covered the phone and lay in the corner, muttering to herself.

She didn't hang up until the elevator arrived, then looked at Han Tao shyly and said:

"I'm sorry, Brother Han. Since I was little, everything has been arranged by my parents, so they are a little overly concerned. Please don't mind it!"

"It's okay. I understand the love of parents all over the world!"

Han Tao smiled slightly. He understood Guan Juer very well. She had been under her mother's care since she was a child and grew up step by step according to her mother's expectations.

Her expectation for her child is that Guan Juer will be healthy and safe, everything will go smoothly for her, and she will find a job and live a stable life in the future.

Most Chinese parents are like this. They don’t seek wealth and honor but only peace and prosperity.

So the same goes for Guan Juer's mother. She is a good and responsible mother. She loves her daughter very much and wants to give her the best.

As a result, Guan Juer was raised by her to be a typical good girl. She grew up in the framework set by her parents and dared not cross the boundaries. She was well-behaved in her life, study, or work and had become accustomed to this state.

Sure enough, although Guan Juer was very embarrassed, she still said:

"Brother Han, my parents want to see what you look like. Can you send me some photos? Otherwise, they'll have to arrange another blind date for me, but I don't want blind dates. I just want to do my job well!"

"No problem, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. I'll send it to you shortly. If you need my help, I can pretend to be your boyfriend, or..."

Han Tao nodded slightly, looked at Guan Juer thoughtfully, and said with a smile.

But before he could finish, Guan Juer interrupted, "Brother Han, don't listen to my mother's nonsense. I didn't mean that. I... I just..."

Just when Guan Juer didn't know how to answer, the elevator reached the 22nd floor, so Guan Juer ran out blushing without finishing her words, and then walked towards the door of 2202.

Finally, he turned his back to Han Tao and waved, "Good night, Brother Han. See you tomorrow!"

"Good night Guan Guan, see you tomorrow!"

Han Tao smiled. Seeing her carrying a schoolbag, wearing a blue shirt and pinafore skirt, with her long hair draped over her shoulders, and running away shyly, he suddenly felt like he was back on university campus.

This feeling is something he has never experienced among all the heroines he has met. It makes people like her, but also unable to bear to let her down.

Although Guan Juer does not have Qu Xiaoxiao's eccentricity and rich second-generation background, nor is she as thick-skinned as Qiu Yingying, she does not lose her composure because of a love affair.

He doesn't have Fan Shengmei's vanity and her ever-helpful family, nor does he have Andy's cold and rational nature, but his identity as a financial elite adds to his wealth.

But this simple girl is indeed the most lovable, especially her personality is very pleasing, she is gentle and quiet, often looks neither hot nor cold, looks very ladylike, looks considerate and weak,

Such girls can easily gain men's favor and arouse men's desire to protect them. In terms of appearance and personality, Guan Juer is the more popular type.

Moreover, Guan Juer's family looks good. It is not the kind of wealthy family that makes people feel out of reach, nor is it the kind of shabby family that makes people feel intimidated.

Guan Juer's middle-class family is just the right size, which adds a lot of points to her, because when you get along with her, you won't be dragged down by a poor family like Fan Shengmei, nor will you feel distant because of her excessive financial strength. Being with such a girl will not feel stressful and it will be more comfortable to get along with her.

Her tenacity is also something that people like very much. Although Guan Juer comes from a wealthy family, she has a ready-made house and car when she returns home, and she had a successful blind date with a boy with similar conditions, and then got married and had children.

But she still insisted on staying in Shanghai to work hard. She wanted to rely on her own efforts and try not to ask for a penny from her family. This is rare for an only child.

Chapter 204 Meeting Andy and Qu Xiaoxiao on the Road

The next morning, when Han Tao was running downstairs, he met Andy again. They smiled at each other without saying a word and jogged all the way back to Ode to Joy.

When they got to the elevator, Andy said, "Han Lu, did you eat the crabs that Lao Tan sent yesterday? I'm not very good at cooking, so I'll give them all to you later, otherwise it will be wasted!"

"I had dinner with Mr. Ye from Jingyan last night, so I didn't have time to prepare it. Besides, there's so much food that I can't finish it all by myself. Why don't we call everyone on the 22nd floor and have a get-together."

While pressing the elevator button, Han Tao suggested to Andy that they take this opportunity to call everyone together to try it.

Hearing this, Andy also thought this was a good suggestion. Since today was Saturday and everyone was off, he nodded.

"I think this is a great suggestion. Good things are more meaningful when they are shared with others!"

"It's settled then. I'll go home and take a shower, then come downstairs to meet you!"

"No problem, but you have to be quick because I really don't know how to cook crabs!"

Andy nodded, but she suddenly remembered that she and Han Tao had attended the salon organized by Lao Tan yesterday, so she asked:

"By the way, Han Lu, what do you think of the analysis given by those financial experts at Lao Tan's house yesterday?

Regarding what they say, the domestic economy will face a huge crisis this year, do you think it will happen?"

"I personally think it's alarmist. Apart from the stock market, I'm not very optimistic because foreign investment quotas are too high and leverage is getting bigger and bigger.

I think other industries will not have any major fluctuations, especially industries such as real estate. There may be a short-term slump due to the stock market, but not only will it not decline in the later period, it will continue to rise in the next few years!

The experts from several institutes yesterday said that the basis for the economic crisis was simply that the RMB exchange rate had fluctuated a bit too much recently.

But I personally disagree. I think with the treasury full and people having money, at best it's just a reshuffle, and it won't reach the level of a financial crisis."

"I agree. I think we agree. I've also done some analysis. People still have ample funds. Where there's a market, there's demand. There are still plenty of economic growth points in the country. It's just a reshuffle. There's really no crisis!"

Andy nodded in agreement. She felt that she and Han Tao were getting more and more compatible, whether it was work or their judgment on the general direction, they were in agreement.

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

At the same time, in the underground garage of Ode to Joy, a Mercedes-Benz G-Class was parked. Qu Xiaoxiao got out yawning, waved her hand and walked towards the elevator.

Ding~dong!

Just as Han Tao and Andy were chatting, the elevator rose from the underground parking lot to the first floor. After the door opened, Qu Xiaoxiao yawned and looked at the two of them.

"Brother Han, Andy, you're here so early!"

Qu Xiaoxiao greeted them listlessly. She returned to her parents' home early yesterday morning and showed them the report she had made with the help of Andy, Han Tao and Guan Juer. Her father, who was woken up, was very surprised to see Qu Xiaoxiao's diligence and hard work. Qu Xiaoxiao's goal of changing his father's impression of her was achieved.

But when Qu Xiaoxiao came back from her parents' home and was lying in bed preparing to take a nap, she received a call from her good friend Yao Bin, who invited her and her friends to eat hairy crabs together.

She didn't want to go at first, but Yao Bin said that there were friends in the industrial and commercial field among these people. After thinking about it, Qu Xiaoxiao happily accepted the invitation.

In this way, a group of rich second-generations went to the bar after dinner and did not separate until the early morning, so she stayed up for two days and nights in a row. During this period, Qu Xiaoxiao only took a nap in Yao Bin's car, and now she is very sleepy.

Han Tao and Andy exchanged a glance, then looked at Qu Xiaoxiao with panda eyes and said jokingly:

"Hey, those big dark circles under your eyes. It looks like you stayed out all night last night!"

Hearing this, Andy nodded and sighed, "It's good to be young. I haven't dared to stay up late at this high intensity for a long time!"

"Andy, you and Brother Han are making fun of me again, and I don't want to stay up late!

But yesterday, after returning from my parents' house, I was invited by a friend to a hairy crab party. Afterwards, I went to a bar and socialized like crazy for half the night. I was almost dead tired!

Having said that, Qu Xiaoxiao yawned again, and then she forced herself to say, "I really can't help myself, there's nothing I can do!

Brother Han should understand that this is how business is done in the country: friends introduce friends, and friends help friends.

Just like my parents, I can only catch them early in the morning. If it’s afternoon or evening, I don’t know where they are hiding in the box.”

After that, she didn't wait for Han Tao and Andy to respond, and thanked them in a coquettish voice:

"Andy, speaking of which, I really want to thank you and Brother Han. After I submitted the report early yesterday morning, it received great praise!

I really don't know how to thank you two, and Xiao Guan, she also helped me stay up until after 3 in the morning, I will treat you to dinner and singing later, okay! "

"Don't be so polite, just choose whichever feasibility report your father likes and agrees with!"

"I agree, as long as it's useful to you, our efforts won't be in vain.

But let me remind you that there are limits to what we can do to help you. Whether you can succeed depends on your own efforts!

Regardless of the size of the company, running it is no joke. It’s not just about getting your father’s approval, you also have to be responsible for the employees who follow you!

After all, they all have to support their families, and one of the purposes of employees coming to the company is to make money. To make money, they must produce good results.

If employees do not get ideal income in the company for a long time, they will gradually lose their motivation to work, which is very disadvantageous for the company.

As a boss, you are not only responsible for yourself and the company, but you must also pay attention to your employees' performance. More importantly, you must constantly supervise, encourage, and coach your employees, building their confidence in achieving their goals. This will enable them to achieve satisfactory results and, at the same time, bring considerable benefits to the company."

"I get it. How come you're even more nagging than my dad? Boss Han, you're already exaggerating before you even become a major shareholder. I really regret asking you for financing!"

Han Tao glanced at Qu Xiaoxiao and said, "It's not too late to regret now. Although a few million is not a lot, I don't want to let it go to waste just because of your nonsense!"

"Oh, why are you so ridiculous? I was just joking, why did you take it so seriously?"

When Qu Xiaoxiao heard that Han Tao would not vote for her, her attitude immediately changed 180 degrees.

Andy on the side smiled and said, "What a good project! Han Lu actually invested in it. I'm very interested!"

"Xiao Qu's company was short of funds and she didn't want to be controlled by her father, so she approached me for the second round of angel investment for her small company. I thought I could give it a try.

She has a lot of friends around her, many of whom are worth over 100 million yuan, so it wouldn't be a problem for her to come up with 10 or 8 million yuan. So I want her to set up an investment company. Are you interested in joining us?"

Andy looked at Han Tao and thought for a moment before saying, "Of course. It's such a great project. Can you tell me more about it later?"

"Great!"

Qu Xiaoxiao shouted, and without waiting for Han Tao to speak, she nodded hurriedly:

"Of course, no problem. Having a Wall Street veteran like you join us is a real plus. We'll have no trouble finding the CFO position in the future!"

Chapter 205: Enemies don’t get together

At the same time, in room 2202 on the 22nd floor, neatly dressed Qiu Yingying walked towards the living room while looking at the message sent by Manager Bai with a silly smile.

At this time, Fan Shengmei, wearing a white off-shoulder nightgown, opened the door of her room and walked out rubbing her hair.

Seeing this, Qiu Yingying ran over with a smile and said, "Sister Fan, you're awake. It's the weekend, and Manager Bai asked me to go shopping. Do you and Guan Guan have any plans?"

Hearing that Manager Bai had asked Qiu Yingying out again, Fan Shengmei poured herself a glass of water, thought for a moment, and then said:

"I'm going to accompany a girl to get an abortion today. You don't know, there was a girl in our company who was desperate and even wanted to jump off the top floor of the company two days ago.

Later, when everyone asked, they found out that she was pregnant with our company engineer's child!

"Ah!" Qiu Yingying screamed and looked at Fan Shengmei in shock, waiting for her next words.

Seeing that she was frightened, Fan Shengmei secretly rejoiced in her heart, "This child is so miserable. She foolishly got pregnant, but the engineer refused to admit it and ran away!

It's too late to regret now. Now she dares neither tell her family nor her friends. She can only ask the company to send someone to accompany her!

So, this girl needs to be careful when making friends outside. If she meets the wrong person, it will be too late to regret it!"

"It's quite pitiful, but if you think about it from another perspective, it's nothing. It's a good opportunity to get married with a baby. Many people are doing the same thing nowadays!"

Qiu Yingying's train of thought was extremely unique. After listening to it, she not only did not feel anything, but her expression showed a hint of anticipation.

Fan Shengmei was also completely defeated by Qiu Yingying. She almost choked on a mouthful of water and said helplessly:

"Little earthworm, what's going on in your head? Have you thought about the consequences of getting married with a baby?

Don’t blame me for not reminding you. If you don’t handle it well, you may end up getting married in a rented house, with no one to take care of your children and no one to afford a nanny!

Of course, it's also possible that your mother or mother-in-law is taking care of you. In that case, your husband and your mother will often quarrel, or you and your mother-in-law will start a war. Life will become a mess, and it won't be long before you become a shrewd woman!

Seeing that Qiu Yingying was still indifferent and looking at her in confusion, Fan Shengmei supported her forehead, then patted her shoulder and continued earnestly:

"Silly girl, even a bird knows to build a nest for itself before laying eggs, let alone you!"

"But I can't always be picky. Youth passes quickly, and I don't want to waste my time until I'm thirty and still unmarried. Then I'll become an old maid who no one wants!"

Qiu Yingying started to refute Fan Shengmei, but this sentence accidentally hit her in the lungs.
