Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

After observing for a while, one of the middle-aged policemen asked:

"What are you doing? Who called the police just now?"

His question confused everyone, especially Qu Xiaoxiao, who subconsciously replied, "Call the police? No one called the police. Are you mistaken?"

"Ouch! Why are the police here?"

Yao Bin and Qu Xiaoxiao looked at each other. Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Yao Bin's face changed and he asked hurriedly:

"We really don't know who called the police. What's the matter, officer?"

"Since it wasn't you, then it must be another neighbor who called the police. Someone complained about you being a serious nuisance. Go turn off the music in the house!"

The middle-aged policeman ordered the people in Room 2203 to turn off the music, then looked around and asked Han Tao:

"Are you all together? Why are so many people gathered here?"

Han Tao smiled, shook his head, and explained, "Hello, police officer! I'm the owner of the upstairs building, and I came here to check on the situation. I just finished communicating with them, and you two came up!"

The middle-aged policeman saw that Han Tao was also looking for them, and nodded, then looked at Yao Bin and the people in 2203 very seriously and said:

"You can go outside for the party. Playing such loud music so late at night is already a nuisance to the neighbors, understand? I'm officially notifying you to stop immediately, otherwise we will punish you according to the relevant laws!"

Yao Bin smiled broadly, clasping his hands together and assuring, "I know, I know. The neighbor has already explained it to us. Thank you, officer. We'll be leaving right away. It'll only take a few minutes. We were just about to leave!"

"Yes, Uncle Police, don't worry, we are all good citizens who abide by the law, so we won't bother you!"

"Yes, we'll leave right away. Our neighbor just gave us a lesson. We promise we won't do it again."

Seeing that everyone had expressed their opinions, and their attitudes were good, the middle-aged policeman looked around and nodded in response:

"Now that you know, please disperse immediately. It's not a good idea to have so many people gathered here. This is the first time, so we're giving you a warning and won't punish you."

Yao Bin and the other second-generation rich kids quickly assured him, "Thank you, we'll be leaving right away..."

"Excuse me for making this trip. It's hard work, police officer!"

"Slow down, police officer!"

After the police left, someone in 2203 complained, "No, who did this? Why did they call the police? Xiaoxiao, your neighbors are really awesome! How can they be so unreasonable?"

Qu Xiaoxiao was already unhappy, and after hearing what her friends said, she felt even more embarrassed. She pushed through the crowd and walked straight to the three women in 2202 who were about to go back to their rooms, and asked directly:

"Hey, hey, you guys called the police, right?"

Guan Juer, who was at the back, shook her head and replied innocently, "It wasn't us. Don't say anything without basis. We didn't call the police."

"If it's not you, then who else?"

Qu Xiaoxiao sneered at Guan Juer, Fan Shengmei and the other two.

"Why are you so sure it's us? Do you think we're easy to bully? There's nothing to deny. If I say it's not us, then it's not us!"

Fan Shengmei turned around, gave Qu Xiaoxiao a cold look, and said something unhappily.

Seeing Qu Xiaoxiao's angry look, Qiu Yingying quickly stepped back, stood in front of Guan Juer, and argued:

"What are you doing? Just talk. Who are you trying to scare with such a fierce voice? I told you we weren't the ones to call the police. We just spoke to the property management.

Besides, even if we called the police, what would happen? We've been making a fuss for half the night and you're not letting us tell anyone. Are you trying to intimidate me?"

After saying that, Qiu Yingying puffed out her chest provocatively, and in order to feel safe, she took a few steps closer to Han Tao.

Guan Juer was afraid that Qiu Yingying would make things worse, so she poked her head out from behind to mediate, "We really weren't the ones who called the police."

"It's really not you?"

Qu Xiaoxiao looked at the three people in confusion, then turned to Han Tao and asked, "Mr. Han, you weren't the one who called the police, were you?"

"I called the police!"

Before He Hantao could say anything, the door of 2201 opened and a woman in a professional suit, looking very indifferent and capable, walked out.

When Qu Xiaoxiao saw Andy for the first time, she looked up and asked, "Who are you?"

Andy looked at her coldly and said seriously:

“You don’t need to know who I am, you just need to know that I am the owner of 2201.

The gentleman just said it very clearly. The standard time for noise nuisance in Shanghai is from 10:30 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. the next day. Any noise level exceeding 55 decibels is considered a nuisance. If it exceeds 15 decibels late at night, it constitutes a nuisance.

It's already 11:30 pm. I've tested the decibel level in your room using the decibel software on my phone, and it's over 70 decibels. It's reasonable for me to call the police."

At this point, Andy paused, staring into Qu Xiaoxiao's eyes with a dignified look, and said:

"Of course, if you have any objections, you can also contact my lawyer and sue me. I need to sleep now. Don't make me tell you this again, ok!

If there is a next time, I will not wait so long to call the police like I did today. I will call the police immediately and ask a lawyer to file a lawsuit and claim compensation from you.

Oh, by the way, I think what this gentleman said just now is very good, you should apologize to everyone!"

After saying that, Andy went back to the house, leaving the group standing there stunned and looking at each other.

"All of these courts are run by your family!"

This group of wealthy second-generations had never seen a man like Han Tao, carrying a recording device and constantly spouting legal clauses. It was also their first time seeing a man like Andy, with his unapproachable demeanor and fierce, dominating personality.

Her sharp words and serious attitude left the fearless Qu Xiaoxiao speechless.

"Damn... it's great to have a lawyer!" After a minute or two, Qu Xiaoxiao finally managed to utter a word.

Han Tao looked at the rich second generation who had been defeated twice, smiled at Qu Xiaoxiao and said:

“Lawyers are nothing special, but when you accidentally break the law or need to defend your rights, lawyers will be your last hope. They can ensure that you receive fair justice in every judicial case.

Of course, this also includes the corresponding punishment that should be received. I've said a lot today, so take care of yourselves, everyone. Goodbye, Miss Qu!

After saying that, Han Tao turned around and walked back. After entering the elevator, Han Tao took out his phone and looked at the message:

Hantao Fund transferred RMB 19 million into your ICBC savings card with the last number 8753, and the current account balance is RMB 131.63 million.

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

Seeing that the main person had left, Yao Bin greeted everyone awkwardly:

"Today's party is too exciting. I need some good wine to calm myself down. Let's go to the Bund..."

"I'm leaving, I'm leaving. I almost went in twice to hide against the wall while trying to open a path. I'm so drunk!"

Seeing that they had a way out, the group of people responded to Yao Bin's suggestion and then retreated in disgrace.

Finally, Qu Xiaoxiao, who was at the end of the crowd, said to the three people in 2202 casually:

"Okay, I admit defeat today. I'm sorry, neighbors on the 22nd floor, but I'm moving to a new house, and today my friends are celebrating for me, so don't be offended. We're going to go play outside now and not disturb you anymore."

The farce of noise nuisance ended hastily with Han Tao's legal education and Andy's imposing appearance. However, looking at Qu Xiaoxiao's unconvinced look, she was definitely planning to settle the score.

"I thought the guys from 2203 next door were so powerful, but now they've been humiliated!"

After closing the door, Qiu Yingying returned to the living room and sat down, saying with relief.

Guan Juer nodded in agreement and echoed Qiu Yingying:

"Yeah, thanks to Mr. Han upstairs and the owner of 2201, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sleep well tonight."

"Guan Guan, do you think Mr. Han upstairs is so handsome?"

"Yingying, you are not attracted to her, are you?"

Guan Juer made a joke with Qiu Yingying, and then curiously said to Fan Shengmei:

"Sister Fan, who are the owners of 2301 and 2201? They're so cool!"

Fan Shengmei rolled her eyes and looked at the two naive naive people and said:

"The owners of 2201 and 2301 are not ordinary people. I think the owner of 2201 is probably a senior executive. He is like a piece of ice, keeping people at a distance. As for Mr. Han in 2301, I still can't figure him out, but I am sure he is very rich. His watch is enough to buy a house in his hometown."

"Sister Fan, what do you think he does? He keeps talking about legal provisions. Is he a lawyer?"

"Yes, Sister Fan, I'm also curious, are all lawyers so rich nowadays?"

Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer curiously pulled Fan Shengmei, and they had already turned into a hundred thousand whys, with an overflowing desire for knowledge.

Fan Shengmei tapped their foreheads with her scallion-white fingers and said with emotion:

"Little Earthworm, Guan Guan. You two silly girls, that's why I said I can't see through you! I don't have much exposure to the legal profession, and he could be the CLO of a large company, because only people at that level can be so rich.

You don't know that floors 23-24 of the Ode to Joy residential complex are large, two-floor, two-unit apartments. Each apartment is at least 280-90 square meters and is worth tens of millions."

"I didn't know there were such big houses in our neighborhood. I wish I could be his girlfriend. How can he have so much money at such a young age?"

"Don't be such a fangirl. Do you think he'll ever need a girlfriend? Silly girl, let's go to bed!

"Hey! My beauty sleep is ruined. I don't know if I'll have an extra wrinkle when I wake up tomorrow morning." After saying that, Fan Shengmei went back to her room to sleep.

Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer looked at each other, shook their heads and went to bed.

Chapter 25: First Meeting with Andy

Early the next morning, as soon as it was light, Han Tao put on his sportswear and went downstairs for a morning run.

This is a habit he has maintained for many years. No matter what time, you must have a healthy body, otherwise no matter how much wealth and social status you have, it will be useless. Only with a good body can you cope with a wonderful life.

Unexpectedly, there was another surprise. When he came back from his morning run, he met Andy at the door who was also running.

hello!"

After what happened yesterday, Andy and Han Tao became familiar with each other, so they greeted each other politely.

"hello!"

Han Tao couldn't help but feel surprised that the aloof Andy took the initiative to greet him, so he asked while running, "Excuse me, have you recently returned from abroad?"

Andy looked at Han Tao curiously and asked in confusion, "How do you know?"

The two ran back side by side. Han Tao smiled and said, "I guessed it was mainly because you don't know how to get along with others. Your way of getting along is either due to your personality or your unfamiliarity with the living environment in China."

"Your analysis is spot on. I have both of these characteristics. I'm not very good at getting along with others, and I've only just returned to China."

Andy stopped and looked at Han Tao with a smile. "You handle things very rationally and are very familiar with the law. If I'm not mistaken, this should be related to your profession."

Han Tao smiled. He could tell from Andy's eyes that she really admired him.

"You have very strong observation skills. I'm a lawyer, and I usually have a lot of complicated things to do, so I tend to handle problems directly. I also prefer to use the law to protect my rights. Professional habits can't be changed."

After saying that, Han Tao smiled and gave Andy a thumbs-up, then continued, "Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Han Tao."

"Wow, I like your job and the way you handle things. My name is Andy, and I'm currently studying domestic accounting and tax laws. If there's anything I don't understand, could you please help me? I'll pay you!"

Andy looked at Han Tao with great interest. He was used to living abroad, so he had a natural liking for lawyers.

Because the laws in the countries where Wall Street operates are very complex and cannot be mastered by ordinary people without professional training, a slight difference in wording can land you in jail.

Moreover, overseas, if you are right, you can get anywhere, but if you are wrong, you will have a hard time getting anywhere. In overseas, if you don’t have a lawyer, the IRS, police, banks, and other institutions can bully you.

But it’s different with a lawyer. You can fight for your own rights and take the case all the way to the Supreme Court because you are dissatisfied with a tax bill of a few hundred dollars.

If the police were rude, they could sue both the police station and the city government. They could confidently declare war on capital and then bite off a piece of it, enough to feed themselves for three to five years.

"Andy, it seems you need to learn more about interacting with people back home. We live in a society based on personal connections. So forget about the compensation, but it's okay to communicate with each other."

Han Tao responded to Andy politely. He said that the one who is close to the water gets the moon first. If he wants to complete those mysterious system tasks as soon as possible, he must interact more with the protagonists in the film and television world.

What's more, at any time, the accumulation of personal connections is indispensable. Not to mention Andy herself, behind her stands Tan Zongming and the asset tycoons on Wall Street. These are all potential customers. If you don't fight for such good resources around you, you must be a fool.

"Do you need to interact with people more? Old Tan said the same thing. You two are quite similar!"

Andy really admires Han Tao's directness and approves of his way of communication, which is very similar to her only good friend Tan Zongming.

Han Tao looked at Andy and pretended not to know: "Hearing what you said, I really want to get to know the Old Tan you mentioned. Is he your friend?"

"Yes, Lao Tan is my only friend and my boss!"

When talking about Tan Zongming, Andy couldn't help but smile!

"Only friend! Aren't you lonely then? Although this is our second meeting, I can sense that you have a cold exterior but a warm heart. Are you wrapping yourself up too tightly and therefore don't know how to make friends?"

After a simple conversation, Han Tao brought the two closer together. Andy was not as cold as he seemed on the surface. He was not a typical person who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

Andy looked at Han Tao in surprise and asked curiously, "You really don't know Lao Tan? You said exactly the same thing!"

"Andy, I'm getting more and more curious about this friend you mentioned. How about you introduce him to us when you have the chance?"

Andy nodded and replied seriously: "Okay, as long as you are serious, I think Lao Tan will give me this face!"

"Of course, I would never joke about this kind of thing. You introducing your best friend to me shows your trust in me, so of course I'm serious!"
