Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

“Brother Han, you have so many good wines here. This isn’t a formal occasion, we’re just chatting casually, so let’s just drink this bottle, it’s relatively cheap!”

"I didn't realize that Miss Qu still cares about the price?"

Han Tao teased Qu Xiaoxiao while taking some fruit and two tall glasses and placing them on the coffee table. He said, "Don't be so pretentious here. Drink whatever you want. Don't think about saving money for me. If there's anything you like, take a bottle with you when you leave!"

"Let's drink this, it's quite good, but do you still have the rice wine you drank last time?

Since the group has been disbanded, I'll bring a bottle to my dad so he doesn't have to look at the wine he photographed every day and say it's too rare to drink it! "

As she spoke, Qu Xiaoxiao opened the kitchen cabinet familiarly and poured the red wine into the decanter.

Han Tao nodded and said, "No problem, the wine is in the cabinet downstairs, just get it when you leave."

"Who said I'll be leaving soon?" Qu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at Han Tao, then poured the wine and sat down on the sofa.

"The company is basically done. The next step is to change the shareholders. My father only owns 15% of the shares, but the company still needs another 5 or 6 million to get going. When will your money arrive?"

Hearing this, Han Tao took a sip of red wine and said, "I'll have someone go with you to handle the paperwork tomorrow. I'll give you 10 million first. It's a good opportunity to also handle the acquisition of a company with installation technology at the same time. The money will be deposited directly into your account!"

"Well, I understand!" Qu Xiaoxiao nodded happily, and then continued: "I also studied the matter you mentioned last time and made a preliminary plan.

There are two initial thresholds: one is a family fortune of over 100 million yuan, and the second is the ability to control cash of over 10 million yuan. I have carefully considered this condition, and I think all the sisters will participate. What do you think?"

"Not bad, the positioning is quite accurate. Your situation is different from Yao Bin and the others. Girls usually don't have high expectations from their families. Even though your family is rich, they can only spend tens of millions, which is not enough for a big investment.

However, if a few people join in, they can easily raise hundreds of millions of dollars, so when this force is gathered together, it can be considered a considerable force!"

"Yeah, if we pool our money together, it's a lot of money. Apart from anything else, it's good to have enough pocket money for ourselves, so that our parents won't say that we only know how to do beauty treatments, throw parties, and buy bags.

In addition to directly joining these people, I will not give up on the rest. They all have their own connections, and I can ask them to introduce more reliable projects to the company.

I am not afraid of being small, nor am I afraid of trouble. Of course, I will not let them run in vain. I will give them shares and dividends based on the profits.

This will activate everyone's network of relationships, so that in the future, whether it is looking for projects or building relationships, there will be no problem.

However, I can only talk about this matter first. After all, I have no idea about such a large investment fund, and I may need you to go over and calm down the situation. "

Qu Xiaoxiao really wanted to learn from Han Tao. She and her friends didn't expect that Han Tao would take her out to play.

Because people like Han Tao, Lao Tan, Bao Yifan, He Han and others are not on the same level as us, and usually look down on us playboys.

Han Tao nodded and looked at Qu Xiaoxiao who was talking eloquently. He couldn't help but sigh that her ability to speak such well-reasoned words was related to her family influence.

Many people think that playboys know everything, but that depends on whether their family status is high enough. If the family business is big enough and their parents have experienced many ups and downs, the information, knowledge, and connections they have acquired through daily exposure will be enough for them to use.

Even if you ask an ordinary rich second generation who only knows how to drink and dance all day long, he can still say a few words in vain. This is the importance of family environment.

Especially when it comes to their ability to speak differently to different people, Qu Xiaoxiao and her gang are definitely something that ordinary people cannot compare to.

Because they have their own set of formulas, knowing when to add icing on the cake, when to add fuel to the fire, when to retreat, and when to provoke a fight, they can do it all at their fingertips.

This is just like the girls you meet at a bar. Don't ask. If you do ask, they always come occasionally to accompany their friends. They are not very good at it because they are studying for IELTS and don't have much time.

In this way, the two of them drank and chatted, and they were quite harmonious. During the conversation, they talked about Qiu Yingying's problem and discussed how to solve the problem of Manager Bai.

At the same time, Han Tao also helped Qu Xiaoxiao analyze the current situation of the Qu family, including how to defeat the prodigal son Qu Lianjie and take control of the Qu family's industry.

After finishing the serious business, Qu Xiaoxiao began to show her true colors and teased Han Tao in every possible way. Han Tao knew that this vixen had a purpose and taught her a lesson.

After the rain stopped and the sky cleared, Qu Xiaoxiao had no intention of leaving. Han Tao thought of the original plot where Andy watched Qu Xiaoxiao's live broadcast online, and asked jokingly:

"Are you sure you want to stay here? Your reason just now was to come over and ask for advice. Andy will see if you don't come home at night."

"What do you mean?" Qu Xiaoxiao turned around lazily and looked at Han Tao, asking with some confusion.

Han Tao smiled and said, "Andy's home camera can see everything going on in the public area on the 22nd floor. Of course, it doesn't matter if you plan to make an official announcement!"

"Andy can see my house? I'm so conflicted, what should I do? I have to go back, but I can't bear to leave!"

Having said that, Qu Xiaoxiao got up from the bed, then looked at Han Tao with reluctance and resentment.

Seeing that she was looking at him reluctantly, it was obvious that she had other intentions. How could Han Tao not understand? He could only pull her back with a smile and exchange some experiences.

Finally, the fairy Qu Xiaoxiao ran back to the 22nd floor with satisfaction, but she was still complaining when she went downstairs. It was others who did the hard work, so why was she so tired?

Chapter 232 Senior Qi’s Choice

The next morning, Monday, the weather was sunny and everyone in Ode to Joy got up to greet the new day.

Qiu Yingying in 2202 was in a bad mood, so she got up early in the morning to go to work.

Guan Juer finished running with Han Tao and Andy, and then went back to wash up before going out with Fan Shengmei. However, she happened to meet Andy while waiting for the elevator. She also came back from running, washed up, and was about to go to work.

"Guan Guan, little sister Fan!"

"Morning, Andy!"

"Sister Andy!"

The three of them had just said hello when the elevator stopped on the 22nd floor.

Han Tao smiled slightly in the elevator, said good morning to everyone, then looked at Fan Shengmei and joked:

"Xiaomei, you're in a good mood and spirits today. It seems the coffee last night was very refreshing. But that's normal. It's natural to be happy to meet old friends again. And that classmate Wang is a good-looking man. He's a good choice."

"See, I told you that Sister Fan looked particularly beautiful today. Yesterday, Yingying even said that you and handsome Wang had rekindled your old love, but Sister Fan, you refused to admit it.

Now that Brother Han has said so, I think that handsome Wang came to see you specifically and invited you to dinner at such a high-end place."

After saying that, Guan Juer adjusted her glasses and looked at Fan Shengmei with a smile.

Andy nodded and said, "I agree with Xiaoguan, because Fan Xiaomei's makeup today is more refined than before, and her mental state does look different."

"Andy, how come you and Guan Guan have learned bad habits from Brother Han? I'm not like what you said. He invited me for coffee just to ask me to help him!"

Fan Shengmei gave Andy and Guan Juer a white look and said with a smile.

Seeing her so smug, Han Tao and the other two smiled at each other. They wanted to tease her again, but the elevator had already stopped on the first floor. Fan Shengmei waved her hand and ran out.

"Wow, I didn't expect that little sister Fan would be embarrassed too!"

After Andy teased her, he looked at Guan Juer and asked, "By the way, Xiao Guan, are you going with me today, or taking Han Lu's car?"

“Sister Andy, I want to go with you today, otherwise my colleagues will tease me every time they see Brother Han sending me off!”

Guan Juer quickly responded to Andy, then secretly glanced at Han Tao.

"Well, I understand. I can take you with me!"

Andy nodded and said as he walked out of the elevator, "Actually, the more you try to cover up a rumor, the more it spreads. I don't think you need to care about it at all!"

"Oh, I see, Sister Andy!"

Guan Guan looked at Han Tao a little embarrassedly, then followed Andy out.

Looking at Guan Juer's shy expression, Han Tao smiled slightly without saying anything. The three of them walked to the parking lot one after another, greeted each other, and got into their cars and set off.

After a while, a red Panamera drove out of the underground garage, followed closely by a black BMW 7 Series, and both drove towards Lujiazui Financial Street.

………………

At 8:30 in the morning, Han Tao arrived at Mingtang Law Firm on time. Wendy was already waiting in the lobby with the folders. When she saw him come in, she hurried over to greet him and said,

"Boss, I have something to tell you in advance. There's a new development in the rape case. You guessed it right. The other party was indeed tricked into contacting you, but Xiao Luo has already accepted it and can't turn it down.

But you haven't responded in the past two days, so the person involved's sister filed a complaint. Director Tang received it. I also found out after work. You should be prepared! "

"okay, I get it!"

Han Tao nodded calmly, then continued, "Is Lawyer Chen in the office? How is Jingyan's infringement case going? What stage has it reached?"

"Hongyuan has an appointment with Lawyer Chen for a meeting at 9:00 AM. She probably won't be back until the afternoon. Here's the latest progress!"

As she spoke, Wendy handed over one of the documents in her hand.

Han Tao took it and held it in his hand. The two of them quickly walked through the law firm's office area. The assistant lawyers and interns who arrived earlier saw him walking over accompanied by Wendy, and they all greeted them.

"Good morning, Director Han!"

"Good morning, Director Han!"

"Good morning, Director Han, good morning, Sister Wendy..."

"Good morning, Sister Wendy, good morning, Teacher Han!"

"Master, Sister Wendy!"

Seeing this, Luo Yun and Meng Lingqi, who were sorting out documents, hurriedly stood up from their desks and went up to greet them.

"Good morning, everyone. Luo Yun, come in with me!"

Han Tao beckoned Luo Yun to follow him, then walked into the office and said, "Go to Director Tang and tell him I've arrived. Ask the client who made the complaint what they mean and whether they'd consider changing attorneys!"

"Okay, Master, I'll be there right away!"

Luo Yun nodded and hurried out of Han Tao's office. This case was an assistance mission she took on for Han Tao, so she didn't need to feel guilty these days.

Han Tao sat behind his desk, looked through the information Andy had just given him, and said, "Looking at the situation, the initiative is now in our hands. Tell Lawyer Chen and the others that no matter what problems I have, we must stick to the conditions we previously drafted and not give in!"

"Boss, won't this be mutually detrimental? They're taking advantage of your temper, so they're resorting to this desperate tactic. It's clearly an attempt to disgust you. Regardless of the outcome, it's all going to damage your foundation."

After saying that, Wendy frowned and looked at him worriedly.

Han Tao shook his head and said, "It's as expected. With a multi-billion dollar merger and acquisition plan, it would be strange if they didn't act desperately!

This is not about personal plagiarism. All you need to do is give him a high-level position and spend a few million dollars to get him the job. You may even be able to earn him a good salary as a designer.

But now it's different. This is a project involving several billion yuan for Jingyan Group. Our conditions are making Hongyuan Group very uncomfortable, but they can't afford to delay and dare not ask for help, so naturally they will do whatever it takes."

"According to what you said, they are planning to use Lin Fangfang's case to hold you back, or in other words, they have already taken the initiative in Lin Fangfang's case and want to use it to exchange for our concessions!

Otherwise, you'll need to sacrifice your family for the greater good, but that will inevitably lead to a conflict with your senior, and you'll lose your relationship with Teacher Gao's department. So they're betting that you'll choose the greater of two advantages and the lesser of two disadvantages!"

Han Tao nodded in satisfaction: "The analysis is very thorough. They definitely came prepared. They are planning to cut off the source of the trouble. However, they overlooked one issue, and that is the character of the senior student!

Their understanding of our eldest brother is too one-sided. Although he grew up eating at many people's homes and is relatively protective of his poor relatives in his hometown, he still has a clear understanding of gains and losses, and distance.

Ever since he knelt on the playground that year, the senior has been fighting against his own destiny. He doesn't care what others think of him, nor does he care what others say about him, and of course, he doesn't care what means are used.

It's no exaggeration to say that even if it means sacrificing his own life, he still wants to win half the battle. How do you think he would weigh the pros and cons, especially when facing his junior fellow apprentice? "

The reason why Han Tao said this is because he knew that the senior student at this time should not have reached the point of no return. Teacher Gao said in the original play that no matter he was serving as the captain of the "machine reading" team, the chief inspector, or the deputy director, he was always conscientious and very upright.

He had just been promoted to the position of director, so there was still time, because he had not yet become completely arrogant. His relatives were all uneducated and shallow-minded people, so some financial help would be enough.

If he really did it like in the later period, regardless of right or wrong, regardless of the cost, and even risking his life to go against the entire society and the law for them, then what do you think will be his end?

He should be able to see clearly now that these people will only hinder his progress. If nothing happens, it's fine. But if something happens, these people will be the first to stand up and turn the tables. He must not let others get hold of any new evidence at this time, otherwise these things will quickly drag him down!

"I understand, but Boss, no matter what the outcome of this matter is, as long as you don't intend to let it go, it will definitely create some rift between you two. It seems like you need to go there in person!"

After saying that, Wendy looked at him worriedly. She had followed Han Tao for more than three years and had some understanding of his network of contacts.

Especially Han Tao, the old senior, who is very kind to his own people and has helped Han Tao a lot. Now the two types of people he cares about most are in opposition, and it is difficult to say what choice he will make.

.........

Chapter 233: The Law Firm Crisis Begins

Seeing that Wendy was worried about him, Han Tao thought for a moment, sighed and said, "There's nothing I can do. Sometimes I just can't help myself, but you know my choice, and I won't compromise.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have caused trouble because he stood on the opposite side of the Zhao siblings, and in the end he could only avoid their attack or even retreat in embarrassment.

Try your best to fight for it. I think the senior has just taken his current position and he can understand my painstaking efforts. In fact, for him, this is nothing more than an opportunity! "

After saying that, Han Tao looked out the window thoughtfully. The senior students now were not at the end of their rope yet, so they would not go to extremes, especially when facing their former junior students.

The only time he hurt his own people was in the original plot, when he hurt Chen Hai. But how much of Zhao Ruilong's shadow was there, and how much was he helpless? From what happened later, it can be seen that he regretted it and was extremely remorseful.

Including his suicide by shooting himself, it was not an acknowledgement of the crime. He did not think he had lost. He was just paying for Chen Hai's life.

Even though Chen Hai was not dead but just unconscious, he still hated himself for attacking Chen Hai.

Otherwise, with his character, he would never surrender, even if the person who came was not Hou Zi, not Teacher Gao's most admired student, nor his favorite junior brother, he would never let go of the hand holding the trigger of the sniper rifle easily, and the pistol would not fire at himself.

Looking at Han Tao, who was lost in thought, Wendy nodded and said, "Tell me when you're leaving for Handong, and I'll make arrangements for you. I'll then ask my uncle to use his connections there to help you gather some evidence in advance, so you don't alert the enemy when you return!"

Hearing this, Han Tao shook his head: "No, this matter is not serious enough to alarm President Wen. I can just find Director Zhao of Jingzhou. He should be able to help. Besides, I have some connections in Luzhou!"

"Well... well, if you need to, don't hesitate to be polite to me!"

Wendy smiled cunningly and nodded. Although she promised Han Tao that she would not care, she still planned to do some homework in advance.
