Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

"It's true that interests are paramount, but we can't just reject it so simply and rudely. This is a question of attitude. To put it bluntly, your head depends on your butt. You consider things from different angles depending on where you sit.

In this circle in China, there is an unwritten rule. Although the business world is like a battlefield, it is not just about intrigue and life and death, but also about human relationships and worldly wisdom!

In the business world, since everyone has common interests and demands, you cannot offend others. You must pay attention to the courtesy and exchanges with others in daily life. You cannot only talk about business without considering human feelings.

The world of Jianghu is everywhere. When dealing with various business relationships, you need to have a sense of chivalry and a willingness to take risks. This way, others will feel at ease when doing business with you. If you don't understand these social customs, it will be difficult to do business well and manage business relationships well.

"Now that you mention it, I understand a little bit. This so-called social etiquette also exists abroad. It's just that the nature of my work doesn't require me to consider it."

Han Tao and Andy chatted while waiting for the elevator. Soon Fan Shengmei, Guan Juer, and Qiu Yingying also packed up and walked out of 2202 together.

Because Andy's Panamera couldn't seat five people, they chose to drive two cars. Fan Shengmei, Guan Juer and the other two took Han Tao's BMW 7 Series.

Andy was with Han Tao, so they could continue to talk about work. This arrangement made Fan Shengmei very happy, and she also felt the treatment of a president.

In the eyes of normal people, a person’s social circle can reveal a lot of things. From the friends around him, one can know his level and status, so today’s scene really surprised Wang Baichuan.

Looking at the two luxury cars in front and behind, and seeing their professional driver opening the car doors, Fan Shengmei was a little stunned for a moment.

Seeing this, Fan Shengmei happily shouted, "Old classmate!"

Wang Baichuan was awakened by this greeting. When he came to his senses, he looked at Fan Shengmei, who got out of the car in her gorgeous attire, and said with a smile:

"Xiaomei, long time no see, you are becoming more and more beautiful now!"

"Thank you, it's been a long time!"

Looking at her former suitor, Fan Shengmei greeted him and then introduced him gracefully, "These are my friends. We had originally planned to have dinner together, but I didn't expect you to come to Shanghai and suddenly invite me to dinner, so we came together!"

After that, she introduced Han Tao, Andy, Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying to him in turn, and then introduced Wang Baichuan to everyone.

Looking at the elegant Andy, the quiet and shy Guan Juer, the enthusiastic and cheerful Qiu Yingying, and the handsome and tall Han Tao, Wang Baichuan said politely:

"I'm sorry, I came here on a business trip at short notice and didn't expect to disturb everyone's dinner. Why don't we eat together? Let me express my apologies!"

"Mr. Wang, you're welcome. You and Xiao Fan can just eat. We've already reserved a table."

Han Tao shook hands with him and politely declined Wang Baichuan's invitation.

How could he not see that even though these two people didn't end up together back then, the feelings they had for each other were still different from those of ordinary friends. And since they hadn't seen each other for so many years, they must have a lot to talk about.

"Then I'm sorry everyone, next time I will be the host, and I will apologize to everyone alone!"

After all, Wang Baichuan stretched out his hand to guide Fan Shengmei and the others to go in. He looked at the goddess who had been in love with him for a long time, but was still beautiful and moving, and was unconsciously cautious, fearing that he would be rejected.

Looking at Fan Shengmei again, facing the mature and steady Wang Baichuan, she also subconsciously pays attention to her words and actions. She may not have other thoughts, but she definitely wants to show her best side in front of her old classmate.

After all, at the annual class reunion, everyone would gossip and talk about who is doing well, who is not, who is living a happy life, who is divorced, who has become a big boss, who has been promoted to the rank of section chief or department head.

After entering the restaurant of the Hilton Hotel, Fan Shengmei sat at the table with his old classmate Wang Baichuan as a matter of course, while Han Tao, Andy, Guan Juer, Qiu Yingying and the others sat at the table, and the distance between them was relatively far away, leaving room for the two of them. Provide enough personal space.

Just as Wang Bochuan and Fan Shengmei were reminiscing about the past, Guan Juer, Qiu Yingying and others began to quietly look at the two of them, and then expressed their comments and opinions.

Andy helplessly tapped the table to remind them to eat. Qiu Yingying nodded, stopped talking, and began to stuff food into her mouth, occasionally eating a piece of steak from Guan Juer or Andy's plate.

During the period, Qiu Yingying also received a call from Director Bai. Because of the seeds Han Tao planted in advance, she also had some doubts about Director Bai, but the result was not ideal. Forget the words.

Andy and Guan Juer frowned at this performance, not knowing what to say. However, Han Tao was very calm because there was a back-up plan for this matter. He didn't expect Qiu Yingying to be able to figure it out.

The most infuriating thing is Fan Shengmei, who simply values ​​love over friendship. She was a little excited to see her old lover, so she ran over in the middle of the meal, not caring whether he was sent off or not, and suggested that she go for coffee alone with Wang Baichuan.

This made Han Tao and Andy very angry. They went to great lengths to ask for help, but it ended in vain.

They had two meals in one night, but neither of them worked. This was a typical case of taking bean buns as dry food. Helplessly, Han Tao and others left early and went back to Ode to Joy first.

………………

Chapter 230: Terrible Brain Circuit

After leaving the hotel, the group returned to the Ode to Joy community chatting and laughing.

After the elevator stopped on the 22nd floor, as soon as everyone walked out, Qu Xiaoxiao opened the door and walked out with a cat-like gait, as if she was waiting for everyone with great surprise.

"Qu Xiaoxiao! Qu Xiaoxiao, you're back!"

As the saying goes, when enemies meet, they become jealous of each other. When Qiu Yingying saw the culprit, she became furious.

However, just when she wanted to step forward to argue, Qu Xiaoxiao did not give her the chance. She raised her hand and pushed her away, then walked in front of Andy and Han Tao.

Then he opened the agarwood folding fan in his hand, showed the contents on it to the two of them, and said with a smile: "Andy, Brother Han, what do you think of my idea?

This is my new tool. From now on, I can learn words anytime, anywhere, and I can look them up if I forget them. Isn’t it amazing?

"What a bullshit! I saw you cheating a lot in school!"

Han Tao was amused by her funny way of using a fan to imitate the ancients covering their faces, as well as her mischievous spirit.

"Han Lu is right. Only you could come up with this idea. However, your learning spirit is still worthy of praise."

Andy was amused by her behavior. It turned out that Qu Xiaoxiao, this clever girl, wrote down all the useful words, including those uncommon words, on it.

Qu Xiaoxiao received Andy's praise and happily replied, "Andy is the best. Unlike Brother Han, not only did he not encourage me, he even dug up my past!"

After saying that, he wanted to go up and give Andy a hug, but Andy subconsciously dodged.

Without waiting for Qu Xiaoxiao to speak, he glanced at Qiu Yingying, who was already losing her patience, and reminded her, "Stop making a fuss. Xiao Qiu seems to have something to discuss with you. I believe you can do the right thing and take responsibility for it."

After saying that, Andy was ready to leave this place of trouble. Guan Juer, who was standing by, also felt the chill coming from Qiu Yingying and looked at the two of them nervously.

But Qu Xiaoxiao fanned the door nonchalantly a few times, then turned to look at Qiu Yingying: "Xiao Qiu, this is what I was about to tell you. After my test, I came to two conclusions.

First of all, your manager Bai is a wretched man. How should I put it? He is the kind of man who, when you open the car door for a lady, will take the opportunity to touch her hand in return.

Secondly, if I let that Director Bai touch me today and let him get a taste of the sweetness, or give him even the slightest hope of becoming a royal consort, then you might be heartbroken from today on!"

"Qu Xiaoxiao, you still don't repent, right? Don't stop me, I'm going to fight him!"

Qiu Yingying was completely inflamed by her last words. She was so angry that she started yelling again, and then she rolled up her sleeves while shouting that she wanted to beat Qu Xiaoxiao.

This posture of mutual destruction frightened Qu Xiaoxiao so much that she turned pale and quickly stepped back, hiding behind Han Tao and Andy.

But how could Qiu Yingying, who was so angry that her lungs were about to explode, let him go? She rushed towards Han Tao and Andy with her fists clenched.

Andy was averse to physical contact, so he quickly dodged and shifted all his firepower to Han Tao.

Seeing Qiu Yingying and Qu Xiaoxiao fighting with each other, Guan Juer hurried over to stop them. Just like that, several people were charging, dodging, and trying to separate them, and the fight became a mess.

Han Tao was surrounded by several people and used as a shield. Seeing them turning around, his head hurt.

Helpless, he could only separate the two completely, then scolded: "Alright, no one is allowed to fight again. We are all neighbors. Why can't we talk it out peacefully? Why do we have to make such a fuss?"

"Brother Han, please understand clearly, it was me who wanted to fight Qiu Yingying!

I was clearly trying to help her out of kindness, but she didn't appreciate it, and she even tried to fight me. She's really ungrateful and doesn't know how to appreciate a good person!"

"Bah, do I need your help? You just can't stand the fact that I have a boyfriend. You're meddling in other people's business!"

Hearing Qu Xiaoxiao calling her a dog, Qiu Yingying retorted loudly while trying to break free from Guan Juer's pull.

Seeing that Qu Xiaoxiao was about to retort, Han Tao quickly stopped her with his eyes, then looked at Qiu Yingying and said:

"Xiao Qiu, I understand how you feel, but I've already analyzed this matter for you before, so why are you still so impulsive?

Xiao Qu's actions were indeed ill-considered, but her intentions were good. She was afraid that you would suffer a loss, so she took the initiative to test Manager Bai.

We have all been through crises together. Imagine if one day there was an elevator accident and your jump almost sent everyone to hell. Has anyone ever blamed you?

We are such close friends, how can we not even have this little bit of trust!"

"But...but Manager Bai called me just now while we were having dinner. He explained everything to me clearly. He said he only loves me. Xiao Qu slipped a note to her because he was afraid that I would be embarrassed, so he went..."

Qiu Yingying was very unconvinced. Although she also felt that Han Tao was right, for some reason she felt that everyone was helping Qu Xiaoxiao.

Han Tao didn't wait for her to finish and interrupted her, "I wouldn't be angry if you didn't talk about this. Have you forgotten what I told you before dinner?

How he explained it to you was similar to what I guessed. Why didn’t you be alert? Instead, you were fooled even though you knew the truth!

Originally, this is your personal problem and I don't want to get involved, but since you call me Brother Han, I can't bear to see you get cheated.

Think about it carefully. Manager Bai canceled a date in the middle of the night and went to help his girlfriend's female friend move without telling his girlfriend. Is this person's behavior normal?

If he really cares about you and wants to be with you, he should explain it to you clearly and even take you with him.

In this way, you can avoid suspicion, help others, and enhance your relationship with your neighbors. Isn’t that good?

But why is he so secretive? Doesn't it show that he doesn't take you seriously? He thinks you are easy to deceive and is just a backup. He thinks you are dispensable and will give up on you if he finds someone better.

Otherwise, would he be seduced by Xiao Qu the first time they met? Logically, you two should be in the passionate love period, how could he be so easily fooled?

"You're wrong. He's already apologized to me, and you didn't guess right. He explained that he did this because he thought Qu Xiaoxiao was my friend, so he went to help. He did this to give me a surprise. I believe him!"

Andy and Qu Xiaoxiao looked at Qiu Yingying speechlessly. Logically speaking, Han Tao's words were reasonable and well-founded, and Qiu Yingying should have thought about it, but things turned out so dramatically. She was no longer in love, but was just stupid.

Guan Juer, who couldn't bear to watch any more, chimed in, "Yingying, we all think Brother Han is right. You really should think about it carefully!"

"That's not what you think, or what others think, especially you, Guan Guan. You are my best friend, you should have told me in advance so that I could be prepared and wouldn't let that bitch Xiao Qu succeed.

Can't you see that she's just jealous of me and doesn't like me, so she wants to destroy my relationship with Manager Bai!"

"Qiu Yingying, don't really think I'm afraid of you. How dare you call me a bitch? I'll tear your mouth apart!"

After saying that, Qu Xiaoxiao wanted to rush over, but Andy quickly grabbed her and signaled her with his eyes to stay calm and not escalate the problem.

It seemed that what he said just now was in vain. Han Tao was a little speechless and said: "Xiao Qiu, do you think there is something wrong with you that Qu Xiaoxiao should be jealous of?

Boyfriend? If she wanted one, there was a guy from the reinforced platoon who was willing to be her boyfriend, and his family background was hundreds or even thousands of times better than that of Manager Bai.

Needless to say, your family background is beyond words, most people can't even compare to you, so he has no reason to be jealous of you.

Let's talk about appearance. How do you think she looks worse than you? Since she is not inferior to you in any way, why is she jealous of you?

Xiaoqu simply wants you to see your boyfriend's character clearly, but her method is a little inappropriate and self-righteous. However, her purpose in doing so is definitely not malicious!

Of course, when it comes to feelings, you have to weigh them yourself. If you still choose to believe Manager Bai, then all my previous words will be null and void."

After saying that, seeing that Qiu Yingying was still trying to defend herself, Han Tao shook his head and no longer had the patience to explain to her.

After this commotion, I lost interest in discussing work, so I said hello to Andy and went upstairs.

…………

Chapter 231: Eat the marrow and know the taste

P.S.: (The content I posted previously was reviewed and re-uploaded, so the order of the chapters is messed up. Qingqiu apologizes for the inconvenience caused to everyone!)

Seeing Han Tao leaving, Qu Xiaoxiao's eyes turned and she hurriedly chased after him, shouting to Han Tao to wait for her.

He said he wanted to discuss investment and had some legal questions to ask.

Looking at the mess that everyone was in, Andy was speechless. She saw Qiu Yingying's crazy look for love, and then looked at Qu Xiaoxiao's attitude of playing with the world, and she couldn't help but feel more troubled about the matter of feelings.

Lao Tan often tells himself that he should try to interact with more people, but what is the purpose of interaction between people?

Is it to get rid of loneliness, or to prove that you are loved, or like Qu Xiaoxiao, just to be happy and do whatever you want, and don't care about anything else.

After some thought, Andy opened a bottle of water and walked to the computer while drinking it.

At this moment, her laptop suddenly made a prompt sound. After checking, she found that it was Singularity asking her how the crossword puzzle was going.

As the two chatted, she had a new perspective. In her opinion, the most important thing in making friends is compatibility and the tacit understanding that Han Tao mentioned.

As for the rest, they are not important to her. Her ideal confidant is a soul mate, and the singularity in front of her just fits this point.

Therefore, she felt that she should give this netizen and herself a chance and agreed to meet him.

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

At the same time, Han Tao, who had arrived on the 23rd floor, looked at Qu Xiaoxiao behind him and immediately knew that this vixen was going to cause trouble again, so I ignored her and went straight into the house, but left the door open for her.

Qu Xiaoxiao closed the door naturally, then looked around the luxurious decoration in the room and exclaimed exaggeratedly:

"Wow, uncle, this is my first time in your house. You have great taste and the decoration is beautiful. And this space is so much bigger than the one downstairs!"

Although Qu Xiaoxiao was uneducated, she did have a good eye. She just glanced around and only paused at a few points for a moment, and was able to tell whether something was good or bad.

This was different from when Fan Shengmei and Guan Guan came. They simply thought the decoration was luxurious and beautiful, so they subconsciously thought that the things in the house must be very good and expensive.

But Qu Xiaoxiao was different. She could tell at a glance that all the furniture and supplies in Han Tao's house were from big brands. Even the carpet under his feet was a high-end product of a well-known brand.

"Just sit down and help yourself if you want to drink anything!"

While taking off his coat, Han Tao signaled her to be casual.

Qu Xiaoxiao walked to the wine cabinet, looked at the bottles of valuable wine on the shelf, picked out a bottle of 98 Mouton-Rothschild and said:
