Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

The reason is unknown, it could be fate, or it could be recognition of his profession.

Andy didn't know why he had a good impression of Han Tao, so he shrugged and said:

"I don't know why, but I have a very good impression of you. Besides, lawyers are very important to any business. I think Lao Tan would also like to meet you. It wouldn't hurt to have the opportunity to communicate more."

Han Tao and Andy had already strolled to Building 19. He pressed the elevator button and said:

"This might just be fate. As the old saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. You've just returned to China, so if you need any help in the future, please feel free to ask!"

"OK, I won't hesitate if you need me. Thank you for your honesty. Goodbye!"

"goodbye!"

After waving goodbye and waiting for the elevator door to close, Han Tao heard the system's voice in his mind:

Ding~ Congratulations to the host for getting in touch with film and television characters, and receiving 10 points of goodwill from Andy, the heroine of the film and television world of "Ode to Joy".

Han Tao returned home with a smile on his face, took out his vibrating cell phone and read the text message: RMB 2 million was transferred to your ICBC savings card with the last number 8753 by Han Tao Fund, and the current account balance is RMB 103.363 million.

Chapter 26 Xu Li's Date

In a two-bedroom apartment in Haoshiyuan, Modu, Xu Li, who had just finished washing up, was sitting in front of the computer checking a man's information. From time to time, she would lift the ends of her hair on her forehead with her hands, looking very charming.

As she was checking carefully, the phone on the table rang. She picked up the phone and saw that it was her best friend Gan Jing calling. Thinking of her friend who had broken the appointment before, Xu Li suddenly said angrily:

"Hey, you're such a busy person, aren't you planning your engagement? Why did you think of calling me?"

"Isn't this an apology? My friend stood up our beautiful lady Xu last time, so I have to make amends. Besides, it's been a while since we last met, and I wanted to talk to you!"

The woman on the other end of the phone apologized to Xu Li in a clear voice.

Xu Li had no choice but to change the subject as to Gan Jing, her good friend and bestie:

"I've been busy these past two days. What's going on between you and your overbearing CEO? I heard your proposal was disrupted a few days ago."

"Oh, don't mention it. I'll have a good chat with you when I have time. Let's not talk about me anymore. What about you? Is there anyone suitable recently? Otherwise, I will ask Jiang Haokun to introduce you to some young talents."

Hearing her girlfriend's concern, Xu Li smiled thoughtfully, and then replied: "Okay, don't worry about my affairs, I know it well. Anyway, I won't consider remarrying, otherwise I will meet again If you meet someone who is wrong, you will leave after you get married, and you will not bother to die!"

Gan Jing sighed on the other end of the phone and said, "Actually, I'm quite worried right now. I've been wondering whether I should marry Jiang Haokun so soon!"

"What's wrong? Are you and Jiang Haokun having a quarrel? This shouldn't be the case. Jiang Haokun is afraid that you will melt if he holds you in his mouth, and freeze if he holds you in his hands."

"Not really, I'm just a little worried. I want to think it over carefully. After all, marriage is a lifelong thing."

Considering her best friend's situation, Xu Li advised: "Don't let me influence you. Jiang Haokun loves you so much, he is definitely a reliable person!"

"I know that I have never doubted his love for me."

Gan Jing replied, then smiled and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. From the sound of your voice, do you think you have a suitable candidate?"

"Not entirely. How should I put it? Come back and I'll tell you when there's a chance!"

Listening to Xu Li's answer, Gan Jing teased, "It's quite mysterious. Did she run into a handsome guy? But that's normal. Our Xu Li is a beautiful girl with a great figure and a great temperament. Now that she's single, there must be a lot of men chasing after her."

"You're so annoying. Just keep making fun of me!" Xu Li said coquettishly when she heard Gan Jing's weird tone on the phone.

Gan Jing heard this and realized something was up, so she teased, "Haha, it looks like I guessed it right. Our beautiful Xu is in love!"

"Alright, stop teasing me about this. Just tell me what you want to say. Don't waste your time. You never come here for no reason."

Xu Li knew that her best friend was very busy. She had her own company and was busy all day long, so she got straight to the point.

On the other end of the phone, Gan Jing smiled embarrassedly and said:

"I'm not like what you said! Forget it, since you said that, let's talk about it in person. I can't explain it clearly over the phone anyway. We haven't been together for a long time, let's have a cup of coffee together and talk in detail then."

"Oh! I have a client coming over this morning. Are you free this afternoon?"

Xu Li asked her best friend, she had a patient in the morning who had made an appointment in advance, so it was difficult to turn down the appointment.

Gan Jing on the other end of the phone thought for a moment, confirmed her arrangements, and replied, "Ok, afternoon is fine. Let's meet at the usual place."

"Okay, see you there, bye."

Xu Li hung up the phone, thought about the topic she had just talked about with Gan Jing, and made another call.

She knew she was in love with him, in love with someone who might not have a future.

But she just couldn't help but want to know him. Her profession is a psychiatrist. She seems to be a calm and rational strong woman, but in fact she has her own feelings and her own emotional pain. She is constantly healing him. Those patients with problems in their hearts are like everyone's emotional catharsis station, but no one can cure her emotional pain, until that late night, a glass of strong wine, and a reassuring look in the eyes!

Xu Li will always remember what the man said to her before he stood up for her: "Be obedient and wait for me at the door." Perhaps that was the sense of security.

That night, he was pulled behind a few hooligans. She knew she was in trouble, so she took the opportunity to teach her ex-husband a lesson.

Everyone was a little drunk, but Xu Li remembered that her eyes seemed to turn red as she laughed, because she couldn't remember how long it had been since a man was willing to give so much for her?

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

On Han Tao's side, he was sweating after a morning run, so he bid farewell to Andy and went home to take a shower.

As soon as I came out of the bathroom, I found that the cell phone on the table was ringing. I picked up the phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.

Without thinking about anything else, he answered directly: "Hello, who is this?"

"What? You forgot about me again!"

Xu Li on the other end of the phone held her forehead speechlessly. Han Tao didn't even save her number. What a failure. At least they had a fleeting romance...

"Of course I won't forget! I'm sorry, Sister Li. I just took over the job these past two days and there's so much to do that I didn't pay attention to it."

Han Tao reacted instantly, but he didn't expect that Xu Li would actually call him. However, he had a strong desire to survive and did not admit that he had not saved the number.

"Well, that's better. I forgive you. Do you have time tomorrow? Come to my clinic. I feel like you have too many things in your mind. I'll help you sort them out." Xu Li smiled and got straight to the point.

"Sister Li, I'm curious, does a psychiatrist think everyone is a patient? I'm not sick, so I don't need to go to your clinic."

"I know you're not sick, I just wanted to chat with you. You're under too much pressure, and you don't have anyone to talk to. Otherwise, you wouldn't be drinking alone at the bar that day, looking so depressed and depressed."

Hearing Xu Li's concern on the phone, Han Tao couldn't help but feel a little unsure how to face her.

Xu Li is different from other heroines. She is a sentimental person. Once she decides on you, she will support you no matter what decision you make.

Moreover, Xu Li particularly respects her own feelings and the people she loves deeply. For this reason, she can even endure grievances and let go for love.

Thinking of her humble words in movies and TV series, "If you want to start a new relationship, count me in."

Then she walked away pretending to be nonchalant, and later when the other party was in trouble, Xu Li was the first to come back.

She was willing to give her all for love, even helping her beloved to leave with her own hands, and she only said "all is well, have a safe journey", which was really aggrieved and heartbreaking.

Thinking of this, Han Tao said, "Sister Li, I won't go to the clinic. I've been too busy lately and don't have time to go. How about we talk about it another day? I'll call you another day."

After hearing Han Tao's answer, the person on the other end of the phone was silent for a while and then said:

"If you don't want to come to the clinic, then come to my house! We can have a meal together and chat. You have to eat dinner anyway."

After Xu Li finished speaking, Han Tao suddenly felt that he had gone too far. If it weren't for that night, he would have just not provoked her.

But since it has already happened, it would be a bit heartless to keep him at a distance.

He thought about it and decided to let things take their course. It looked like Xu Li was already interested in him, and feelings were hard to explain. He just needed to give her more care and concern. Anyway, he would try not to hurt her.

With the location, Han Tao no longer hesitated and replied directly:

"Okay, I'll try to arrange time so we can have dinner together tomorrow night."

"Well, that's it. I'll send you the address later."

After saying that, Xu Li hung up the phone with a slight smile, as if she was afraid that he would go back on his word.

Chapter 27 Qu Xiaoxiao and Fan Shengmei

Twenty minutes later, Han Tao finished washing up and went out. The elevator stopped at the 22nd floor, and Fan Shengmei and Qu Xiaoxiao came in one after another.

Fan Shengmei was secretly happy to meet Han Tao, a young, rich, handsome and high-quality resource, in the elevator. She unconsciously used her hand to charmingly lift her hair.

She originally wanted to marry a rich man who could buy her a house of her own in Shanghai to change her family's difficult situation.

Now that she has met Han Tao, she feels that if she can win Han Tao, then all her dreams can come true...

Thinking of this, Fan Shengmei looked at Han Tao with a sparkling look in her eyes. She said gently:

"Hey, handsome Han, I see you're very knowledgeable about law. Are you a lawyer?"

"Yes! I work at Mingtang Law Firm."

Han Tao glanced at Fan Shengmei and recalled the plot he had seen on TV before. She was as beautiful as a flower, but she grew up in a poor family that favored boys over girls. She was helpless against her parents' injustice. After she started working, she was often dragged down by her brother, and all the money she earned went to fill the bottomless pit of her family.

But her nature is still good. She is loyal, helpful, and likes to put on a brave face. No matter how difficult and embarrassing the situation is, she is unwilling to show fatigue in front of others.

Kindness and vanity are like two sides of her coin, which makes people sigh and lament. She struggles to support herself and only wants to find a rich husband so that she can settle down once and for all.

"Mingtang Law Firm? That's one of the top law firms in Shanghai. It seems our neighbor is also a well-known lawyer!"

Han Tao smiled and said modestly, "I don't deserve it. I just returned to Shanghai to work. I'm not a well-known lawyer."

"That's not right, Lawyer Han. I see that your outfit must cost at least two million. This shows that you are well-off. You must not be an ordinary lawyer, right?"

As soon as Qu Xiaoxiao entered the elevator, she immediately noticed that something was wrong with Fan Shengmei. She exuded the scent of female hormones and her eyes kept looking at Han Tao from time to time.

After the conversation between the two, her small brain running at the speed of light naturally saw Fan Shengmei's careful thinking at a glance.

Han Tao was the one she had chosen. She fell in love with him at first sight on the plane. In order to create an opportunity, she pretended to be pitiful and asked Han Tao to use his miles to upgrade her cabin.

Moreover, her daily hobby is to gossip and stir up trouble at the same time, and she never gets tired of this kind of thing.

"Ms. Qu is right. I am a senior partner of Mingtang."

"That's amazing! A senior partner at a well-known law firm with an annual salary starting at tens of millions! So talented! Mr. Han, do you have a girlfriend?"

The original body may not know Qu Xiaoxiao's routine, but now Han Tao is familiar with the plot, how could he not know her little thoughts, so he deliberately teased her:

"I don't have a girlfriend yet. If Miss Qu is interested, we can try to get in touch. We might be a good match."

"puff!"

This simple and direct answer made Fan Shengmei, who was standing by, couldn't help but lower her head and cover her mouth, and she almost laughed out loud.

On the other hand, Qu Xiaoxiao, this little devil, was a little embarrassed at this moment. She cursed the straight man cancer in her heart and said cunningly:

"Tsk, who cares! Do you think I'm interested? I'm asking on behalf of someone else, okay?"

"Who are those certain people you're talking about?"

Qu Xiaoxiao was choked again, thinking that this guy was really a straight man. Why didn’t she notice that he spoke so directly before? Is it okay to ask such questions like this?

Qu Xiaoxiao subconsciously glanced at Fan Shengmei. Fan Shengmei knew that her little thoughts had been discovered by her, so she immediately changed the subject:

"A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. Handsome Han, you've just arrived in Shanghai. If you need any help, just let me know. After all, I've worked here for seven or eight years, so maybe I can be of some assistance."

Han Tao smiled slightly and said politely, "Thank you. I don't know your name yet."

"My name is Fan Shengmei, you can call me Xiaofan or Xiaomei." After saying that, Fan Shengmei looked at Han Tao again.

Han Tao smiled and said, "Hello, Xiao Fan, Han Tao, nice to meet you! If you need any help in the future, I will definitely ask for it."

"Okay, then it's settled!" Fan Shengmei nodded and smiled charmingly.

Qu Xiaoxiao watched the two of them talking, and for some reason she felt particularly angry, so she said sarcastically, "Hey, hey, please pay attention to the impact, okay? You two are acting like I don't exist!"

"What kind of impact should we pay attention to? Is there anything wrong with us neighbors introducing each other to each other?"

Upon hearing this, Fan Shengmei blushed, gave Qu Xiaoxiao a cold look, and then looked at Han Tao embarrassedly.

Han Tao looked at her frankly, but before he could say anything, his cell phone rang with a text message.

Han Tao took out his phone and saw that it was Qu Xiaoxiao who sent him a message:

"Lawyer Han, why didn't you receive the money I transferred to you?"

Han Tao replied, "No need, I didn't spend any money, I just used the miles!"

"I'm sorry, Lawyer Han. I didn't bring my card with me before, not to take advantage of you. You should still take the money. This is my principle, please understand!"

After sending the message, Qu Xiaoxiao winked at Han Tao!

Han Tao smiled and replied, "I didn't expect Miss Qu to be so principled? Okay, I'll collect the money later!"
