Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

Thinking of this, he was even more dissatisfied with Zhang Anren who was indifferent to his proposal to sell the house, so he complained:

"I told Zhang Anren to buy the house and invest in the stock market before, but he was stubborn, just like me..."

Seeing her father mention Zhang Anren, and thinking about the stock issue Han Tao and the others had discussed, Jiang Nansun was afraid that he would continue talking, so she quickly interrupted Jiang Pengfei and said:

"Dad, let's not talk about the past, or it would be impolite. Han Tao and I have things to do, and it's getting late, so we'll leave first!"

"Xiao Han, Nansun is naive. Don't listen to her. We finally get together. I'll ask the waiter to bring another table of food. How about we eat and talk at the same time?"

Hearing Jiang Pengfei say this, and having already noticed Jiang Nansun's impatience, as well as Han Tao's purpose for coming here, Li Yifan understood.

In order to avoid embarrassment, he quickly took the initiative to speak:

"Mr. Jiang, I think we should forget about it today. You and Mrs. Jiang should go back and rest early. We can get together again another day!

I also have other things to deal with. If you need any information, please give me a call. I will also communicate with you in a timely manner if there is any new information."

"Well... well, okay, let's get together next time. But Teacher Li, I have one more thing to say. If you have any good news, please let me know in advance. Thank you in advance!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, I will definitely not forget you when I get news!"

"Mr. Li, see you next time. I'm really sorry for being rude today!"

"It's okay, Mr. Han, you're welcome. Mr. Jiang and I are just having a quick meal, and we're already ready to finish!"

Seeing Li Yifan and Han Tao being very enthusiastic and patiently exchanging pleasantries, and then looking at her father who was smiling beside them, Jiang Nansun frowned and couldn't help but sigh!

The world is like this now. For some people, as long as they show a hint of an idea, there will be people who will do everything they can to help them realize it.

But for some people, no one will care even if they try their best to please others, beg them humbly, or even kneel down and kowtow!

Chapter 214 Sisterly Love

Inside the InterContinental Hotel in Shanghai, Han Tao, Jiang Pengfei and others exchanged pleasantries as they walked out of the private room.

After everyone arrived at the hotel entrance, Li Yifan took the initiative to extend his hand and said, "Mr. Han, I wish you and Miss Jiang a happy weekend. See you later!"

"Thank you, Mr. Li, goodbye!"

After saying that, Han Tao extended his right hand, smiled and shook hands with him, then turned to Jiang Pengfei and his wife and said, "Uncle, Auntie, are you going home? Otherwise, let me take you there!"

"No, you two should drive slowly on the road. Don't play too late and go home early!"

Dai Yin looked at the two people who seemed to be a good match, sighed in his heart, then shook his head in agreement and gave an instruction.

Han Tao nodded and replied, "Don't worry, Auntie, I'll send Nansun home on time at 11 o'clock. I won't let her stay out overnight!"

"What are you talking about? When did I ever spend the night outside?"

Hearing this, Jiang Nansun rolled her eyes at Han Tao, then held his arm with one hand and pinched his waist fiercely with the other hand, then politely said to Li Yifan:

"Uncle Li, we'll be leaving now. Thank you for treating our family to dinner today and for providing my dad with so much inside information. When he makes money from stock trading, I'll have him treat you back!"

"You're welcome, Miss Jiang. I'm not really helping you much. I was just chatting casually!"

Li Yifan smiled gently, then waved his hand to indicate that you're welcome.

"Uncle and aunt, you guys don't drive either, so I'll let the driver take you first!"

Jiang Pengfei glanced at Han Tao and shook his head, "No, you guys go now. Teacher Li and I want to talk for a few more minutes!"

"Okay then, goodbye uncle and aunt, goodbye Mr. Li!"

"Goodbye Mr. Han, goodbye Miss Jiang!"

Li Yifan smiled slightly and waved goodbye to Han Tao and Jiang Nansun politely.

At this moment, Jiang Pengfei looked at the two people stuck together in confusion. After they walked not far away, he said to Li Yifan apologetically:

"I'm sorry, Teacher Li, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. Nansun lives on campus most of the time, and I didn't know she had a new boyfriend. I'm so sorry for causing this big mistake!"

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll take you two there!"

"No, no, how can I bother Teacher Li to give it to you!"

"It's okay, it's very convenient. The car is right behind. You and Mrs. Jiang are welcome!"

"Well... well, I won't be polite then. I can just listen to you talk about the stock market!"

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

At this time, Jiang Nansun finally breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Han Tao:

"Thank you, today I am in trouble because of you, otherwise I don't know how long I would have been suffering.

I never thought you had such a wide circle of friends, and you even knew Li Yifan!"

Han Tao smiled and said, "Nansun, let's not be polite. You are Suosuo's only good friend, how could I not help you?

But speaking of social circles, have you noticed that this world is actually very small? According to the theory of six degrees of separation, if one person wants to get to know another person, it can be achieved through no more than six intermediaries.

What's more, in a place as big as Shanghai, especially with our social circles, they are even smaller, basically all acquaintances or friends of friends!"

"That's true, everyone is connected. No wonder those who are good at building relationships are so successful through their connections!"

Jiang Nansun sighed, then looked back and saw that her parents had already gotten into Li Yifan's car. She quickly let go of Han Tao's arm and said,

"By the way, where's Suosuo? Didn't she come with you?"

"Hehehe..."

As soon as Jiang Nansun finished speaking, Zhu Suosuo laughed and opened the back door, then teased:

"Brother Han, are you sure you're from the Political Science and Law Department? If I didn't know you and Nansun, I would really believe that you two graduated from the Acting Department. Especially Nansun, she's so natural, she took it so well!"

"Suosuo, how dare you tease us? I sent you so many messages, why did you come so late? I was so worried!"

"You're being unreasonable, Nansun. We're just heroes saving beautiful women, and it's fine if you don't thank me, but you're even complaining that I'm late. I've been working non-stop, okay?"

"Okay, okay, okay, you are the hero who saved the damsel in distress!"

Jiang Nansun rolled her eyes at Zhu Suosuo, then said with a grin, "Suosuo, how about I treat you guys to a midnight snack? I just happened to be hungry!"

"Okay, I want a big meal, let's go!"

"Don't even think about it. I don't have any money right now. The most I can do is treat you guys to wontons!"

"Hmph, Nansun, why are you becoming more and more like Zhang Anren, so stingy!"

"I know how to live my life, okay? Do you think everyone has a rich boyfriend like you?"

"Hey, Jiang Nansun, I earned my money through hard work, why do you sound so awkward?

Besides, please don't involve me in your sisters' affairs, okay?"

"Who told you to take my locks away? If I don't bully you, who else should I bully?"

"Hey, Brother Han is mine now, please be careful!"

"What's the difference between you and me? Hahaha!"

The three of them got into the car chatting and laughing, and Han Tao sat on the sofa in the back seat with Jiang Nansun and Zhu Suosuo.

After the two of them chattered and played for a while, Zhu Suosuo said with a smile: "Nansun, when Uncle Jiang finds out that Brother Han is pretending to be your boyfriend, will he be mad at you to death?"

"It's good to piss him off. Let's see if he dares to trick me into going on a blind date again next time. And he's a divorced uncle with children. He really gave up his daughter for stock speculation.

But Suosuo, it's really amazing that you could come up with this idea. You gave me such a trick that I almost got caught!"

"You really can't blame me for this. I had no other choice but to resort to this desperate measure. As soon as I received your call and message, I went to the school to look for Zhang Anren, but I couldn't find him after searching around. So I had to cram and call Brother Han over!"

After saying that, Zhu Suosuo took Han Tao's hand and continued with a smile: "Brother Han is so awesome! He is so busy, but he still came as soon as I called him. He is much more reliable than your Zhang Anren!"

"How can they be compared? They started from different points and belong to different social classes. Besides, Zhang Anren also has his advantages. At least he is not like your elder brother Han, who was so busy before he even got married that he didn't have much time to spend with you!"

"Bah, you're obviously envious. Even though Brother Han is very busy, he's always been there for me and always cares about me. Besides, Brother Han never fails to deliver at the most critical moment!"

"Hateful!" Jiang Nansun rolled her eyes at her best friend, then said unhappily, "Actually, I envy you two. At least there's no resistance between you two, and you don't have a father who disregards his family's feelings and tricks his daughter into going on a blind date!"

"Okay, Nansun, these days many people are forced by their parents to go on blind dates, it's not necessary!

Look at me again. Even if I want to find someone to force me to go on a blind date, I need someone to be willing to pay attention to me..."

Zhu Suosuo hugged Jiang Nansun's shoulders to comfort her, and in order not to make her feel too uncomfortable, she even used her own experience that no one cared about as an example.

Han Tao actually felt a little envious and touched by the relationship between the two people. After all, he was familiar with the plot, and the support between the two of them along the way was rare. Even though they had different opinions and circumstances, it did not affect their friendship and feelings at all.

Moreover, Han Tao also had a new perspective on Zhu Suosuo's details and her empathy.

Rather than saying that their friendship is precious, it is better to say that both of them are masters of getting along with others. At least in getting along with their best friends, both of them are very artistic.

This artistic sense comes from the control of boundaries, because they all know who they are and what kind of life they want. Many people's relationships cannot last long because of unclear boundaries.

"I'm sorry, Suosuo. It's my fault for reminding you of sad things!"

At this time, Jiang Nansun also hugged Zhu Suosuo distressedly, apologized, and comforted her in return: "You still have me, I will always be by your side, even Zhang Anren has to stand aside!"

"Student Jiang Nansun, you should give this task to me, because I am Suosuo's boyfriend now, and I think I can take good care of her.

Of course, if there's a need, or if you have any difficulties, for the sake of your relationship and Suosuo's sake, I'll do my best to help you!"

Hearing this, Jiang Nansun snorted arrogantly, "Humph, Lawyer Han should just take good care of Suosuo. I have a boyfriend, and Zhang Anren will support me!"

"I hope so. I hope Zhang Anren can withstand the pressure and do what you said!"

"Hey, what do you mean? Zhang Anren didn't offend you, why are you saying that about him!"

"Don't be nervous, I don't mean anything else, I'm just being realistic!"

"Brother Han, why are you so concerned about Nansun's relationship problems? Are you also targeting her?"

Looking at Zhu Suosuo who was protecting Jiang Nansun like an old hen, Han Tao joked, "You guessed right, I want you two to be my big and small wives!"

Hearing this, Zhu Suosuo looked at Han Tao, and seeing that he was joking, she rolled her eyes and laughed nonchalantly:

"Nansun, I think this suggestion is a good one. I'll take the blame and you'll be the older sister. This way, we don't have to separate!"

"Bah, Suosuo, you're so bad. You actually acted so unruly with him. I'm ignoring you two!"

Jiang Nansun, who was standing by, couldn't help but spit when she saw the two of them making fun of her, and turned her head away pretending to be angry!

Just like that, after some banter, Jiang Nansun finally stopped being sad about her father lying to her about going on a blind date with a divorced man with children.

The three of them chatted and laughed as they headed straight for the place Zhu Suosuo and Jiang Nansun often went to. It was a shop on Yuyuan Road called Fuchun Xiaolongbao. It was a very popular shop that had been open for more than ten years.

Han Tao had also been there. The decoration style was very good, with dark green leather sofas, retro chandeliers, and neon glass partitions, full of the flavor of old Shanghai.

Chapter 215 Remind Jiang Nansun

At 10:30 in the evening, Han Tao, who had happily had a midnight snack, accompanied Zhu Suosuo and Jiang Nansun out of Fuchun Xiaolongbao. The three of them chatted while getting into Leader No. 1, which had its door already opened.

After the car drove into the traffic in the middle of the road, Jiang Nansun asked thoughtfully, "Han Tao, what you said while eating just now, is it true?

My father also invested in stocks in the past few years. Although he almost lost all of grandma's things, it's not as serious as you said. At most he just lost some money!

Besides, today in the InterContinental Hotel's private room, my dad said that the stock you recommended soared. So, how could our family suddenly face a major crisis?"

"Nansun, do you remember what I said when we first went to dinner? Uncle is in too deep. If he keeps insisting on doing this, I'm afraid your Jiang family won't just lose money, but go bankrupt, or even be heavily in debt!"

After saying that, Han Tao glanced at Jiang Nansun. Although she was very disgusted with her father's stock speculation and didn't care much about the family's financial problems, when something really happened, she was still very concerned about the family's situation.

Thinking of this, Han Tao sighed, and without waiting for Jiang Nansun's response, he continued, "Although I can't confirm it 100%, I can still see the general situation.

Although my uncle has a lot of stocks and some of them are making money, this is also where the crisis lies.

Just as you said, my uncle has lost too much before, and he has no intention of stopping at the brink or quitting while he is ahead. Instead, he takes advantage of the current large increase in the stock market to continuously increase his investment, even at the cost of borrowing and increasing leverage!

Leveraged financing requires interest. Since you said that the Jiang family no longer has that much money, where did your uncle's insurance money come from?

If my estimate is correct, he can only borrow the deposit from acquaintances or loan sharks.

That would be a serious matter, because if leverage is added, even if the stock market does not fall, as long as it does not rise, the uncle will lose a large amount of financing interest every day.

This is also the reason why he was advised to leave as soon as possible. The more it is at this time, the more he should take advantage of the good momentum and withdraw in time to wait and see.

Otherwise, if the market suddenly falls, or fluctuates, the securities company will force my uncle to close his position because of insufficient margin, and it will be too late for him to escape.

In other words, at that point, there is no way out. Under the situation of heavy debt, what do you think the Jiang family will face? After all, loan companies are not charities, and their interest rates are very high! "

"But these are just your guesses. Although I'm disgusted, I'm not completely clueless. The stock market is still doing well. I guess my dad just didn't pick the right stocks.
