Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

"It's over! I guess she's been fooled by Manager Bai again. She might even start to resent us. I'm really worried she'll just foolishly throw herself into Manager Bai's arms!"

"But I didn't object to Yingying being with Manager Bai before, but now I strongly object. Manager Bai is such a jerk!"

Looking at the indignant Guan Juer, Fan Shengmei gave her a glare and said, "What's the use? Although we are doing this for her own good, she still has to listen to our advice!

This silly girl would rather hate us than believe that Manager Bai has any problems with his character.

It makes me angry to say this. Young girls like you, once you fall in love, you all become fools. No one can pull you back. We can only wish her good luck! "

After saying that, Fan Shengmei sighed and went to the bathroom to remove her facial mask, leaving Guan Juer looking at the door worriedly, wondering what she was thinking.

Qiu Yingying, on the other hand, had just spent two hours shopping in the mall with Manager Bai. The two of them, who hadn't bought anything, were now eating hamburgers and French fries at a fast food restaurant.

During the chat, Manager Bai deliberately asked about Qiu Yingying and asked her about sharing a house with Fan Shengmei and Guan Juer. Qiu Yingying said that her salary was low and there was nothing she could do.

Upon hearing this, Manager Bai immediately suggested that she move in with him. This way, the two of them could share the rent, saving a lot of money, and she would be able to see him every morning when she woke up.

This invitation to live together made Qiu Yingying ecstatic. She didn't consider anything else and agreed without any surprise. She was very happy and even asked for an extra ice cream to celebrate.

Manager Bai felt helpless after seeing this, as there was no challenge at all. However, after the excitement, Qiu Yingying said that it was not possible today because she had to go home to pack her things and move in a day or two.

Manager Bai agreed indifferently, because in his opinion, a silly little girl like Qiu Yingying could never escape from his control.

Chapter 252 Sisters' Sweet Talk

At 11 o'clock in the evening, Han Tao finished eating noodles with Andy, chatted about work for a while, and then got up to say goodbye.

Hearing this, Andy stood up and walked him to the door. Thanks to Han Tao's guidance and the subsequent news, she finally adjusted her mentality. At least her expectations outweighed her fears.

After Han Tao's figure disappeared in the corridor, Andy closed the door and went to the window. Looking at the lights of thousands of houses outside, his originally chaotic thoughts and the huge shadow in his heart gradually dissipated.

The news that her brother might not be mentally ill made her look forward to her future life even more. Xiao Ming was her only relative, and as an older sister, Andy hoped most that he could be healthy and happy.

Thinking of this, Andy couldn't resist the urge to share the good news with Lao Tan, so he called him directly without caring about the time.

Afterwards, the two talked about what Han Tao said. When Old Tan heard the news, he was happy for her, so he told her to have a good rest in the next two days. He would be watching over the company, and asked her to wait at home. Once the arrangements were made there, she could go over.

On his side, Han Tao also sent a message to Zhu Suosuo before going to bed, telling her that he would be busy tomorrow and might not be over in the evening, and asked her and Nansun not to wait for him for dinner.

At the same time, Zhu Suosuo and Jiang Nansun were lying side by side on the bed, looking at the ceiling and whispering to each other.

"Suosuo, what should I do? Although Zhang Anren's material conditions are not that good, our family is already in this situation. My grandma and my dad are still so nervous.

They don't understand that Zhang Anren and I are no longer the same as before. I'm really worried now. I'm really afraid he'll be scared away!"

After saying that, Jiang Nansun turned her head to look at her best friend Zhu Suosuo, wanting to hear her opinion.

Hearing this, Zhu Suosuo rolled around on the bed, then lay on her stomach, then looked at her and replied seriously:

"No, Nansun, if Zhang Anren is really scared away so easily, then there's no need for you to try to keep him.

Although my previous boyfriends didn't last more than two weeks, after meeting Brother Han, I realized one thing: if someone truly loves you, they will give everything for you without even thinking twice!

Zhu Suosuo's answer made Jiang Nansun roll her eyes at her, and then she said coquettishly, "You are just praising your big brother Han in disguise. He is not comparable to Zhang Anren, okay!

Although Han Tao gave you this house worth tens of millions without blinking an eye, it's nothing to him. Only you are so touched. It's really shameful. You look so worldly-wise!"

Zhu Suosuo smiled and said nonchalantly, "I just haven't seen the world, so what? I don't feel ashamed. I've seen a lot of rich people, but who would give someone a mansion worth tens of millions before they get married?

Let me tell you, most rich men are afraid that you will get attached to them, so they won’t be so generous. Instead, they will think about how to divide their property. Whenever they talk about marriage, the first thing they think of is a prenuptial agreement!

So I was touched, touched by Brother Han’s dedication to me. He was just like the male and female protagonists in romance novels, appearing when I needed him most.

It’s not about how much money he has, but about whether he’s willing to spend it on me.”

"I'm really impressed by you. You believe romance novels. Those plots are all lies to little girls. Don't you know that?"

After saying that, Jiang Nansun looked at Zhu Suosuo with a look of disappointment, and then reminded her: "A young man like Han Tao, who is not only capable but also comes from a well-off family, will be surrounded by many girls. I'm afraid that he is with you just for the sake of a temporary novelty. I'm worried that you will get hurt!"

"I believe in romance novels, and I also believe in Brother Han. My sixth sense tells me that his relationship with me is not just a temporary one.

What's more, he gave me a home. This feeling cannot be expressed in words, just like you would never have thought ten years ago that you would meet Zhang Anren and fall in love with her.

Everyone thinks Zhang Anren is not worthy of you, but in your heart he is the best! "

Zhu Suosuo shook her head and refuted Jiang Nansun's words without thinking.

Hearing her talk about ten years ago, Jiang Nansun suddenly remembered what she and Zhu Suosuo said in the attic when they were children.

At that time, she said that she liked elegant scholars like Leehom Wang the most, who were good at studying and had a good brain, and who could accompany her to watch the clouds roll by and grow old together.

Her best friend Zhu Suosuo said that she likes a man like Nicholas Tse, who is lively and energetic, and preferably also very rich, so that he can buy her a house and give her countless surprises.

Thinking of this, Jiang Nansun sighed and said, "Suosuo, do you still remember what we said when we were little?"

“Of course I remember, even though there’s no Wang Leehom or Nicholas Tse here, but in your eyes, Zhang Anren is also considered a scholar with good studies and a refined mind.

Brother Han has met all my expectations for a significant other: he's handsome, wealthy, and thoughtful. Now, we've both finally achieved our dreams!"

Seeing Zhu Suosuo's happy face, and thinking of Zhang Anren's previous behavior, Jiang Nansun said with a complicated expression: "I hope our choices are right. I don't ask for anything else now. The only request is that Zhang Anren doesn't speculate in real estate or stocks, and doesn't put money first. He can't be selfish and put friendship first!"

"Anyway, I can't be like Dad!"

Zhu Suosuo teased her, then sighed, "But your requirement of putting friendship first and not being selfish is not easy!

I guess few people can do what you say, because who in this world is selfless? We are all ordinary people, and selfishness is a subconscious behavior.

"That's right. Let me put it another way. You can be selfish, but you can't harm others for your own benefit!"

After that, Jiang Nansun didn't wait for Zhu Suosuo to respond, but took her hand and asked, "What are your requirements, besides being a rich man, what else is there?

After all, Han Tao's assets have already exceeded your imagination of what a wealthy person could be."

“It’s good that I’m not particularly rich, otherwise I wouldn’t have waited so long!

I want to find someone who loves me and can give me a home."

Hearing this, Jiang Nansun rolled her eyes at Zhu Suosuo, then teased her, "Luo Jiaming can also give you a home. He has liked you since you were a child, and has liked you for so many years. He loves you so much, why don't you choose him instead of being with Han Tao?"

"When I say home, I mean a home that belongs entirely to me, a brand new home, which Luo Jiaming simply cannot afford.

Of course, most ordinary people in Shanghai cannot achieve this, so having money is a necessary basic principle.

What's more, I have lived in my uncle's house for more than ten years. If I marry Luo Jiaming, I will be dependent on others for the rest of my life. That is not the life I want.

I know many people don’t understand, because everyone thinks that a woman who likes honest, kind, or talented men is a good woman.

On the other hand, if she likes a powerful man, people will think she is vain and shameless. If the age gap is large, the comments will be even more unpleasant.

But think about it, is this fair? Don't suffer the suffering of others, and don't advise others to be kind.

Being talented is an advantage, but being handsome and rich is not an advantage? In essence, they are both just using their strengths to attract the attention of the opposite sex. What's the difference?

A woman's youth is fleeting; life with money is always more comfortable than without it. Not everyone can find joy in hardship; only when one of two people is wealthy can the other pursue happiness without hesitation.

"That's twisted logic, and very vulgar. I think you have completely corrupted Suosuo!"

Although Jiang Nansun felt that what Zhu Suosuo said made sense, she still couldn't help teasing her.

Zhu Suosuo directly retorted: "I am just an ordinary person, but think about it from another perspective, isn't your Zhang Anren ordinary?

Did he stay in school to teach and educate people? No, he stayed in school to get his uncle's approval, and to make his parents and people around him look up to him.

To achieve this goal, he was willing to flatter his uncle, and he also constantly tried to curry favor with the school leaders. In order to drive the department head for a social event, he didn't even come today, such an important day!"

Hearing Zhu Suosuo mention that Zhang Anren didn't come, Jiang Nansun couldn't help but frown and said, "Speaking of this, I remembered that Zhang Anren used the brochure to take credit.

In fact, I really didn't ask him to be perfect. I understand that he did that because he cared about me, but lying is always wrong. His behavior was indeed too calculating.

And what happened today, I really don't know what position I hold in his heart. Does he care more about me or staying in school?

"I've told you before that he's not as good as you think. I guess this isn't the first time he's lied. For example, when he said you were his first love and he'd never been in a relationship before, do you think that was true?

He's so caring, always thinking ahead of you, and handling everything so well. He's definitely a seasoned lover!"

After that, Zhu Suosuo looked at Jiang Nansun and suggested, "Actually, you can give him a try. You can exaggerate the situation at home and tell him what he says. Then you will know whether he will go all out for you.

Moreover, he started dating you when he was a graduate student. You can ask his former college classmates to find out whether he had ever been in a relationship during college.

If he also lied to you about this matter, then you need to consider what to do. Consider whether he was more loving or calculating when he was with you, and whether he was more calculating when he was with you, and then you can consider whether to continue to be with him.

"I don't know either. I just don't want to delve into it. Given the current situation, let's just take it one step at a time."

After saying that, Jiang Nansun closed her eyes with a painful look on her face.

Because she didn't know what to do, even if she could forgive Zhang Anren's previous little calculations, and think that he did that because he had to be with her, she could let it go.

But will Zhang Anren face the next test as he expected?

In this world, life has to go on no matter who leaves. Even if I don't break up with him, if he knew that his family was facing a heavy debt situation, would he still stay with me without hesitation?

Zhang Anren has come to where he is today on his own. His parents took out most of their savings and paid him a down payment. He has to consider his parents. So, is he willing to shoulder the crisis of the Jiang family with him?

Chapter 253 The stock market closes the net

The next morning, Han Tao and Andy went downstairs to jog, and Guan Juer followed them again.

Guan Juer now regards Han Tao and Andy as her role models, so she insists on running with them every day.

When the three of them finished running and returned to Ode to Joy, a yellow Volkswagen suddenly turned sideways and stopped in front of them.

Andy was just about to remind the other party that driving like this was dangerous, but Qu Xiaoxiao, who was worried about transporting cat food in the car, got out of the driver's seat wearing sunglasses.

Seeing this, Han Tao scolded, "Qu Xiaoxiao, you're still asleep, aren't you? You're just charging straight at me without even slowing down. This is very dangerous, don't you know?"

Qu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes away with a smile, and said with a roll of her eyes: "I've been racing cars since I was a teenager. I'm an experienced driver, okay? I do have some skills."

Han Tao knocked her forehead in anger and said angrily, "You old driver, you don't even know how to honk the horn. You are obviously a road killer!"

"Hate it, I'll knock you silly, you know!"

Qu Xiaoxiao slapped Han Tao's hand, then ran over to Andy and said coquettishly, "Andy, look at him! He's bullying a little girl!"

Andy looked at her with a look of confusion, then shook his head and said, "You're not a little girl, you're a goblin. Tell me, why did you deliberately park in front of us? What's your purpose?"

"Oh, Andy, you're amazing. You immediately realized that I needed your help!"

As she spoke, Qu Xiaoxiao opened the back door of the car and pointed to the bags of cat food inside and said:

"Please, help me move this cat food to the 22nd floor."

Andy walked over and asked in surprise, "You don't have a cat, so why are you buying so much cat food? Are you eating cat food as snacks or soaking it in milk?"

"Hahaha!"

Guan Juer, who was standing by, couldn't help but laugh out loud when she heard this, because what Andy just said was what Han Tao had said before, and both of them used the same tone.

Qu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes angrily and said, "What? Did you and Han Tao discuss this? Why are you always saying the same thing? I'm not a cat, why should I eat cat food?"

Hearing Qu Xiaoxiao's words, Andy looked at Han Tao in surprise and amusement, then continued, "Then why did you buy so much cat food? Even if you wanted to keep a cat, it wouldn't be able to eat so much, right?"

"I don't want to keep a cat. I bought this for the stray cats in the community. I counted the number of stray cats in our community before, and this cat food is enough for them to eat until winter."

"Are there so many stray cats in our community?" Guan Juer asked curiously.

Qu Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Yes, they are everywhere. Guanguan, if you are interested, I will take you to see them later!"

After that, she unloaded the cat food from the car and distributed it to the three of them. There were six bags in total. Han Tao carried two bags, and the remaining four bags were carried by the three girls together.

Andy looked at the petite Qu Xiaoxiao and the frail Guan Juer, took the initiative to pick up the two bags and said:

"I'll take two bags too. After you deliver the cat food, take me to see it. Don't be so naughty. I'm afraid the cats won't dare to eat the cat food you give them.

And I've decided that from now on I'll pay for half of the cat food as a token of my support for your charity!"

"Really? Andy, you're so kind, don't regret it!"

As she spoke, Qu Xiaoxiao picked up the cat food in front of her and said with a smile, "By the way, Guan Guan, how has Qiu Yingying been these past two days? Have you figured it out?"

"Yingying didn't answer the phone all day yesterday, and when she came back last night she said she was moving out. She's got both me and Sister Fan angry about this, so Sister Fan guessed she was going to move in with Manager Bai!"

"She's moving out, that's a good thing. It saves me from having to worry about her attacking me!"

After saying that, Qu Xiaoxiao put down the cat food and patted her chest in a funny way, as if she was very scared.

Andy pressed the elevator button, looked at her puzzledly and said, "Xiao Qu, can't you just apologize to Xiao Qiu?"

Qu Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "That won't do. A man should take responsibility for his actions. I, Qu Xiaoxiao, never back down.

But if Qiu Yingying were to move there so foolishly, she would definitely suffer. Wouldn't you and Sister Fan help her?"
