Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

"I don't know what's going on, it's really noisy!"

Fan Shengmei had just finished taking a shower and still had a facial mask on. She glanced at Guan Juer, who was looking aggrieved, and asked Qiu Yingying:

"Little earthworm, do you know what's going on?"

"Sister Fan, I don't know either, but it sounds like it's next door. You guys wait, I'll go check it out."

After saying that, Qiu Yingying volunteered to open the door and leaned out to take a look.

Dongdong~Dongdong~Dongdongdong!

It was just a coincidence that when she checked, she happened to see the delivery man coming out of room 2203. The blasting music, without the barrier of the door, was even more deafening.

"Sister Fan, 2203 is having a party!"

After closing the door, Qiu Yingying helplessly told what she had seen.

"You're not sleeping late at night and you're having a party at home?"

After hearing what Qiu Yingying said, Fan Shengmei and Guan Juer were confused.

"You have no sense of public morality. Don't you consider the feelings of your neighbors?"

Fan Shengmei complained a few words, and finally the three of them looked at each other. They all knew that they were just roommates and could not compare with the owner, so they had no choice but to go back to their rooms.

"It's too noisy. I have to be in bed by 10:30 and in deep sleep by 11:00, or my skin will be ruined. I can't compete with little girls."

After a while, Fan Shengmei walked to the door of the room again and started complaining loudly.

Tormented by overtime and music, Guan Juer walked out of the room again, complaining with a face full of grievance:

"Sister Fan, Yingying, what should I do? I have to reply to a client's email soon! The music is so loud, all the words in my head are messed up, and all I have left are 26 letters flying in front of me. What kind of neighbor is this? Don't you think about other people's feelings?"

"That's so annoying. Don't be afraid, Guan Guan. I'll go find them now!"

Hearing the complaints from Guan Juer and Fan Shengmei, Qiu Yingying's sense of justice came out. She didn't care about anything else and ran to knock on the door in a fierce manner.

But when they got to the corridor, Qiu Yingying, who had been so aggressive just now, became a little timid because she and Guan Juer had accepted Qu Xiaoxiao's housewarming gift before.

Moreover, the two of them had already eaten all the chocolates, and now they turned around to cause trouble for others. She felt a little embarrassed and thought it was not a good thing to do.

After hesitating for a while, thinking that Sister Fan and Guan Guan were still waiting for her, Qiu Yingying took a deep breath and finally mustered up the courage to knock on the door of 2203.

“Pah~Pah-pah-pah!”

"You knocked on the door, what's the matter?"

Qiu Yingying took pictures for a long time before someone opened the door. It was a young boy dressed in hip-hop style. As soon as he opened the door, he asked impatiently.

"Yes, I was the one knocking on the door!"

Qiu Yingying looked at the boy who was a little impatient, clutched the corner of her clothes with both hands, and after a long time, she mustered up the courage to ask:

"I'm a resident of room 2202. Are you the ones playing music?"

The boy, dressed in hip-hop style, glanced at Qiu Yingying and said impatiently, "Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Can you please turn down the volume a little? The music is too loud and it's affecting our rest, you know? It's so late, and you're still playing music so loud, how can anyone sleep?"

The boy looked at Qiu Yingying's hands, which were lying there with nowhere to put them, and immediately knew that she was bluffing, so he closed the door and shouted into the house perfunctorily:

"Everyone, keep your voices down. The neighbor doesn't like it anymore."

"Hey, what's with your attitude? Do you think you're such a great owner and can just ignore other people's well-being?"

Looking at the closed door in front of her, Qiu Yingying complained loudly angrily, then walked back to 2202 in frustration.

Chapter 21 Differential Treatment

Jingle Bell

Han Tao's cell phone rang. As he closed the door and walked towards the stairwell, he took out his phone and checked the caller ID. It was Qiangzi. He stopped without hesitation and answered:

"Qiangzi, are you done with your work over there?"

On the other end of the phone, Qiangzi, his eyes bloodshot, smiled and replied, "Things in the Magic City are basically done, so I probably won't have time to visit you. Taozi, I have to rush back to the East China Sea to finish up. Let's get together again when we have time!"

Hearing Qiangzi's answer, Han Tao nodded and said, "The case is important, you should take care of it first. We can get together again when there's a chance!"

"Okay, I just wanted to say hello. I'm really busy right now, so I'll catch up with you later. Is that all?"

After saying that, Qiangzi, who was at the door of the Magic City Drug Enforcement and Narcotics Squad, hung up the phone and walked towards a police car.

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

At this time in 2202, seeing Qiu Yingying coming back, Fan Shengmei asked expectantly while patting the mask on her face:

"Little earthworm, what's going on? What did they say?"

Qiu Yingying looked at Fan Shengmei dejectedly, and after hesitating for a long time, she said:

"I'm so angry, Sister Fan. Their attitude is really bad, but the person who opened the door said they would keep it down."

"Okay, wait a moment then!"

Fan Shengmei nodded helplessly, walked to the sofa and sat down and said:

"Come and sit here, little earthworm. Sister Fan is telling you, it's not worth getting angry with those rich second-generations!"

"Ok!"

Qiu Yingying walked over angrily and sat down next to Fan Shengmei.

After a while, Guan Juer said speechlessly, listening to the still powerful music without any weakening:

"What should I do, Sister Fan? Didn't Yingying say she would speak more quietly? Why doesn't it seem to have any effect?"

After hearing what Guan Juer said, Qiu Yingying became even angrier.

In the end, it was Fan Shengmei who had a solution. After all, she had worked in HR for many years and was more experienced than Qiu Yingying and the others. She thought for a moment and gestured to Guan Juer:

"Guan Guan, give me your phone."

"good idea!"

Guan Juer understood immediately and ran to Fan Shengmei's room, handed her the phone and said:

"Sister Fan, do you want to call the front desk?"

Fan Shengmei nodded, dialed the phone, and reported the situation to the property management in a matter-of-fact manner:

"Hello, is this the management? I'm Fan Shengmei, who lives in room 2202. Room 2203 is still having a party so late. Shouldn't you take care of this?"

It’s already this late, how can we sleep? We have to go to work tomorrow!"

"If you can't do anything, then we are even more helpless. Property owners can't disturb their neighbors. Anyway, you should find a way to solve the problem, otherwise I will complain to the higher authorities..."

"Okay, okay. Actually, I don't want to make a big deal out of this. Thank you for the trouble you made. "

Fan Shengmei negotiated with the property staff for a long time, and they finally agreed to come up and communicate with her. Only then did she hang up the phone helplessly.

Seeing Fan Shengmei put down her phone, Qiu Yingying looked at her expectantly and asked nervously:

"Sister Fan, what did the property management say? When can they come up?"

"Xiao Zheng from the property management said they'd come up to negotiate right away. Now I understand. Priorities are revealed at critical moments. They treat owners and tenants so differently. If we were having a party at home today, the property management wouldn't even have to report it; they'd have come to us long ago!"

After saying that, Fan Shengmei shook her head, feeling helpless and angry as she threw her phone on the coffee table.

After hearing what Fan Shengmei said, Qiu Yingying was also very angry and said with a unhappy face:

"This is too much of a bully. They really look down on others. Can the owner do whatever he wants?"

Seeing that Fan Shengmei was at her wit's end, Guan Juer said with a look of despair:

"It's been half an hour, and the noise is making my head dizzy. I work overtime every day, and I don't get enough sleep to begin with. Now it's even worse. I probably won't even get five hours of sleep. How am I going to get up tomorrow morning?"

After saying that, she sat dejectedly on the sofa, waiting for the property management to solve the problem with Fan Shengmei and Qiu Yingying.

More than ten minutes later, the property management knocked on the door of 2203. After some communication, the property management staff went downstairs, but the noise from 2203 still did not subside and was getting louder and louder.

Now all three of them had bitter faces. It seemed that the property management had not succeeded in stopping the people in 2203.

In 2203, after sending away the property management, Qu Xiaoxiao's good friend Yao Bin began to introduce houses to her:

"Let me tell you, Xiaoxiao, don't underestimate this residential complex! But we put a lot of effort into decorating it!

Let’s not talk about anything else, just the lights in the house cost a lot of money. And the curtains, even the furniture, are all matching!”

Qu Xiaoxiao picked up her beer and clinked it with Yao Bin, then took a sip and said:

"Thank you, Yao Bin, for your trouble!"

"Stop it, Xiao Xiao, do we still need to talk about this?"

Yao Bin also took a big sip of beer, then picked up the microphone, walked to the TV, and said loudly:

"Everyone, stop and listen to me! Now let's all raise our glasses and welcome Xiao Xiao back to China. Cheers!!!"

"Welcome Xiaoxiao, cheers!"

A group of people raised their bottles together, clinked them together and started to get excited again.

Seeing Qu Xiaoxiao sitting alone on the sofa, several of his good sisters came over and complained:

"Xiao Xiao, you're so slow! I've been waiting for you for two days and I'm so bored!"

"Yeah, Ququ, what have you been busy with these past two days?"

Qu Xiaoxiao stuffed potato chips into her mouth while responding to her friend:

"I can't do anything about it. It's all my dad and mom's fault. They don't like this neighborhood anyway. I've been dealing with them for the past two days. They even nagged me for most of the day before letting me leave."

One of the girlfriends came back from walking around the house and took over the conversation:

"Xiao Xiao, have you gone crazy living abroad? What kind of shabby place are you living in? Aren't you just asking for trouble?"

"Lanlan is absolutely right. Your prodigal brother has a villa, a luxury car, and is surrounded by models, celebrities, and many beautiful women. You're practically being exiled!"

"Who was exiled? I'm just enduring hardship, understand?"

Hearing her friends' complaints, Qu Xiaoxiao felt uncomfortable, but she had no choice. This was all to act ambitious in front of her father so as to defeat that prodigal brother!

Lan Lan saw that she was a little depressed and hurriedly teased her:

"Right, right, right. We crickets are hardworking and steadfast young people. How could uneducated people like us understand that?"

"You look down on me, don't you? You know my situation, you think I want to make myself uncomfortable, right?"

Qu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at the two of them, then stood up, picked up the microphone, and said:

"Everyone, let me say a few words. First, I want to thank Yao Bin for paying for my house, thank Lan Lan for helping me decorate it, and thank you all for preparing the welcome party for me.

Everyone knows why I came back. I came back to fight with my prodigal brother for the family fortune. My father left home with nothing when he divorced his ex-wife, and later married my mother. The Qu family's current fortune was earned by my mother and him through hard work.

Therefore, the Qu family's current business has nothing to do with Qu Lianjie. I will never let this business fall into his hands.

I'm putting this out there today. If anyone can provide any information that's unfavorable to Qu Lianjie, I'll give you a huge reward!"

"it is good!"

"no problem!"

A group of playboys who were afraid of chaos in the world, heard Qu Xiaoxiao's promise and applauded and cheered.

"Then I, Qu Xiaoxiao, would like to thank everyone in advance. Let's have fun!"

After saying that, Qu Xiaoxiao took the lead and jumped up, and the room was instantly in chaos!

Chapter 22 Han Tao's Legal Education

“Bang, bang, bang!”

In room 2202, Guan Juer, Fan Shengmei and Qiu Yingying, who were almost on the verge of collapse due to the noise of the music, suddenly heard a loud knock on the door. The three of them hurriedly got up and secretly opened a crack in the door to look outside.

The door of room 2203 was being slammed. Seeing someone else step forward, the three of them hoped that they could solve the problem.

"The neighbor left and the property management came, and then they left and someone came knocking on the door again? This happened once, twice, and three times. Is this never going to end?"

"Who the hell is this! If I don't show my power, you think I'm a sick cat, right? Didn't I say we'll be gone after ten minutes? Do you want a beating?"

There was a knock on the door, and two more men came out of room 2203. Both of them were a little angry, and one of them was cursing.
