Han Tao quickly replied to Guan Juer, asking her to start recording from that moment on before she left the community, and record all the way upstairs, record Manager Bai's house, and then send it to him to check the situation.

After Guan Juer hung up the phone, she was a little confused. It had already been smashed, shouldn't she be thinking about how to solve it now?

What was the point of Brother Han asking her to record a video? Was it to check the extent of the losses, or was it like Sister Fan, taking a photo and posting it in the group to let everyone vent their anger?

Although she didn't understand it, Guan Juer's greatest strength was that she was obedient. She still turned on the video, said hello to Fan Shengmei, and ran upstairs.

Finally, Guan Juer recorded the entire process until she entered the house, including the situation inside. Then she glanced at the closed door next door, heard the man calling Manager Bai again, and quietly went downstairs.

At the same time, Andy was going to dinner with Lao Tan. On the way, Lao Tan saw Andy looking at his phone with a surprised and smiling face. He asked curiously:

"Andy, what were you looking at just now that made you laugh so happily?"

Andy looked at Old Tan and replied with a smile, "It was the girls who lived on my first floor. One of them had a bad relationship with someone, and the others went to help her. One of them, Fan Xiaomei, the eldest sister from 2202, actually smashed up that creepy guy's house. I really admire her."

Hearing this, Tan Zongming smiled and said, "Do you need any help? Since he is a wretched man, can he just let it go after his house was smashed?"

Andy shook his head. "Probably not. Sister Fan is a very experienced HR person. I think she should know how to deal with the aftermath of things."

"It's good. It's different from before. At least I have friends now. It's not like when I was in the United States, where I was always alone."

As Andy's close friend, Tan Zongming saw the changes in Andy and was happy for his friend from the bottom of his heart.

Andy heard what Lao Tan said, thought for a moment and then said, "Friends? Lao Tan, do you mean my neighbors?"

"Yes, understanding them, caring about them, and sympathizing with them—that's what friends are. You used to be so strict about your life, not letting others get in touch with you. How could you possibly make friends?"

So, it’s absolutely right for you to live in Ode to Joy, because this way you will discover that there are many important things worth doing in life besides work.”

"Wow, Lao Tan, I'm now wondering if you and Han Lu are long-lost brothers. Otherwise, why do you two always say such similar things?"

"Han Tao? Maybe it's just that great minds think alike. He's a perfect match for me when working with him. After this stock market crisis, I think he'll become a major shareholder of the company!"

"Yes, Han Lu has a keen sense of observation and can control his desires very well, otherwise he wouldn't have retreated so quickly.

This kind of person is the most suitable as a partner. He is also very careful and thoughtful in his work and never takes a risk without confidence."

………………

Half an hour after leaving the residential complex where Manager Bai was, Guan Juer, Fan Shengmei, and Qiu Yingying returned to Ode to Joy 2202.

Seeing that Qiu Yingying was still crying, Fan Shengmei decided to distract her and asked:

"Little earthworm, Sister Fan bought a lot of delicious food recently, including scallion-fried spareribs, black pepper beef tenderloin, chicken stewed with mushrooms, and braised beef. Whichever flavor you want, I'll make it for you, okay?"

Qiu Yingying nodded with a sad face: "Okay, braised flavor, I love braised flavor!"

"Okay, Yingying, wait a moment, I'll make it for you!"

As he said that, Guan Guan put down the key and went to make instant noodles for Qiu Yingying.

Fan Shengmei continued to persuade Qiu Yingying to be more open-minded. She also made her a cup of ginger and brown sugar water, telling her that drinking it could beautify her skin and make her beautiful.

After hearing what she said, Qiu Yingying started crying again, saying that even though she had become prettier, Manager Bai still didn't like her.

In desperation, Fan Shengmei could only coax her until Guan Juer brought the noodles over. Only then did Qiu Yingying turn her sadness into appetite and finished the bucket of noodles in no time.

Boom…Boom…Boom!

Just when Qiu Yingying was eating braised beef noodles, there was a knock on the door. Fan Shengmei ran to open the door. It turned out that two policemen came to the door.

One of the police officers looked at the three people in the room, took a look at Fan Shengmei and asked, "Excuse me, Fan Shengmei from Room 2202, does she live here?"

Fan Shengmei asked nervously, "I...I am, what can I do for you, police officer?"

Hearing this, the police officer standing in front showed her his ID and said, "Look, someone called the police and reported you for trespassing and damaging property. We need you to go to the police station to assist with the investigation."

When they heard that it was the police, Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying in the room were scared and didn't know what to do. Seeing this, Fan Shengmei could only bite the bullet and tell them that everything was fine, then she took her handbag and left with the police.

Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying, who were left in the room, had gone blank. After all, they had just graduated and started working, and had never experienced such a thing. Guan Juer was a good girl and rarely made mistakes, let alone broke the law.

Just when the two of them were like ants on the hot pan, Qu Xiaoxiao happened to come back. Seeing that they had the door open, she asked about the situation. Guan Juer hurriedly told her about it. After hearing what she said, Qu Xiaoxiao looked at Fan Shengmei with admiration, immediately contacted Yao Bin, and then went to the police station.

After she left, Guan Juer suddenly remembered the plot on TV, which was all about finding a lawyer, so she quickly called Han Tao.

On Han Tao's side, after receiving the call, he could hear the worry and fear in Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying's voices without saying a few words, so he comforted them for a few words before hanging up the phone.

Han Tao then sent the video and address to his assistant Luo Yun, and then explained the situation over the phone.

About forty minutes later, Luo Yun brought Supervisor Bai's roommate to the police station. This was a very small case, and the circumstances of the case were very clear, so it was all handled in less than a quarter of an hour.

When Luo Yun accompanied Fan Shengmei out of the police station, Qu Xiaoxiao also arrived. Seeing that she could not help, she was very angry. In the end, she could only act as a full-time driver and send Fan Shengmei back to Ode to Joy, and then went to have fun with her friends.

After returning home, Fan Shengmei hugged Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying for a while and told them what happened at the police station. This made them both sigh that they finally saw how powerful the big lawyers were. The problems that troubled ordinary people could be solved by them by sending an intern assistant.

It was a small matter for Han Tao, but it made several sisters in 2202 very upset, and they all sent messages in the group.

Guan Guan: "Sister Fan was arrested by the police just now. I was so scared. Brother Han, you are so powerful. You didn't even have to show up in person to solve the problem."

Xiao Meimei: "Brother Han, thank you. I'm sorry for the trouble I caused you by having your assistant come all the way here so late for such a small matter."

Han Tao: "You're welcome. Even though I'm not at home today, I can't let a female warrior like you spend the night in the police station. Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

Han Tao: "I'm busy right now. Call me if you need anything. See you later."

Qu Yaojing: "I was so angry. I drove to rescue him, but it was all in vain. By the time I got there, he had already been dealt with."

Qu Yaojing: "But I have to say, Lawyer Han is really awesome. As for Sister Fan, why are you so nervous? I'm here with Andy, and Brother Han, so there's nothing to worry about."

Little Beauty: "How can I not be nervous? This is my first time in a police station. Do you think everyone is like you, fighting and quarreling?"

Qu Yaojing: "Sister Fan, please understand clearly, I went to save you, and you actually pushed me."

Xiao Meimei: "Okay, thank you Xiaoqu too, but I still have to say that I can solve it myself without you. Besides, it was Brother Han who saved me, okay!"

Qu Yaojing: "Humph, you can't solve the problem yourself. You almost got yourself into trouble by dealing with a scumbag. Don't force yourself!"

Andy: "Xiao Qu, you're bullying Fan Xiaomei again. Do you think everyone is like you, born to inherit a huge family fortune?"

Andy: "Sister Fan, I think I have to look at you with new eyes. You are obviously a warm-hearted sister who will go to great lengths for her friends."

Little Earthworm: "Qu Xiaoxiao, when you come back we'll settle the score. How dare you bully Sister Fan!"

Qu Yaojing: "It's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin. I'm not going to pay attention to you. I'm going to play!"

Chapter 277 Return to the Jiang Family

After Zhang Anren and Jiang Nansun returned home, Jiang Pengfei did not show much happiness. Instead, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

Zhang Anren was already accustomed to Jiang Pengfei's attitude, so he quickly took out the letter of appointment and said:

"Uncle, this is my letter of appointment. Please take a look. Our school only has one place for students to stay in school for two years. I will work hard to make sure Nansun has a good life in the future."

Jiang Pengfei held the teacup in one hand and took the letter of appointment in the other. After glancing at it, he casually threw it on the coffee table and said, "Not bad, you've made progress."

After saying that, he looked at his daughter Jiang Nansun again and said with a smile: "Nansun, call Suosuo and ask her and Xiaohan if they can make it to our house for dinner. If they can, we will all be waiting for them."

"Why do you always think about Suosuo when we come back? Who is the real daughter?..."

"Alright!" Seeing her granddaughter about to argue with her son again, Grandma Jiang interrupted her and said, "The stock market has been fluctuating a lot recently, so your father is most concerned about Suosuo and Xiaohan. Don't make things worse.

If you really have the energy, you might as well ask your mother when she's coming home. She's not home all day, so it's just your father and I eating together, and the house is so messy."

Although Zhang Anren had a smile on his face at this moment, he was extremely angry in his heart, especially when he saw that the letter of appointment that he had worked so hard to get was just thrown on the table, and it was obvious that he didn't care at all.

Jiang Nansun, who was standing by, heard this and looked at her father and grandmother, saying with an unpleasant expression, "Grandma, everyone has their own things to do right now, so they may not be able to come back on time."

Jiang Pengfei was afraid that his daughter would quarrel with her mother, and he also didn't want his daughter-in-law to be scolded, so he quickly put his arm around Grandma Jiang's shoulders and said:

"Mom, they may not be able to come back every day to eat with you, but I can. It's good to have me accompany you every day. Don't ask for too much."

His shaking caused Grandma Jiang to accidentally spill some tea. Zhang Anren quickly handed a tissue to Jiang Pengfei so that he could wipe the water off Grandma Jiang's clothes.

Looking at her flustered son, Grandma Jiang smiled and said, "Xiao Zhang, my son isn't great at anything, but there's one thing I'm particularly happy about: he's been by my side since he was little."

Hearing his mother praising him, Jiang Pengfei hurriedly cheered her up and said, "Mom, I am filial!"

Seeing that Grandma Jiang was in a good mood, Zhang Anren tried to get closer and said, "Grandma, if you like, from now on, I can also stay by your side every day."

Hearing this, Grandma Jiang smiled slightly: "That's great, if what you said is true, then move back with Nansun. We have plenty of room at home anyway!"

After seeing grandma finish speaking, Zhang Anren wanted to respond, Jiang Nansun angrily touched him with her arm and said, "What are you promising? What about the time you were here?

If you agree today, grandma will make you sit here at 6:30 every day. If you come late or can't come because of something urgent, she will be unhappy and say you are unfilial.

Hearing Jiang Nansun's sour words, Jiang Pengfei and Grandma Jiang both laughed. Grandma Jiang even said to her with disdain: "Your father doesn't dare to talk back to me, you are the most unfilial!"

Jiang Nansun didn't want to listen to her grandmother scolding her, and no one had poured a cup of tea for Zhang Anren since she entered the house, so she got up and ran to the kitchen. One reason was to make tea and hide for a while, and the other was to call her mother Dai Yin.

"This girl, if she gets married soon, I won't have to worry about her anymore!"

After saying that, Grandma Jiang smiled at Zhang Anren. She knew her granddaughter Jiang Nansun very well. As long as she said something to her, she would never tolerate it and would definitely run away.

Jiang Pengfei looked in the direction of the kitchen and brought up the old matter again: "Xiao Zhang, so I said, isn't your house too far away..."

Just then, Han Tao and Zhu Suosuo walked into the Jiang family's living room together and interrupted him from talking to Zhang Anren about buying a house.

Zhu Suosuo even joked directly: "Grandma, uncle, we are here to eat for free again!"

"Hey, Suosuo and Xiaohan are back, come and sit down!"

Jiang Pengfei exclaimed, then stood up to greet them and said politely, "Why don't you two just go home? Why did you buy so many things again? You still have the ones you bought before!"

"It's okay, uncle. Bird's nest and sea cucumber are things that never go bad. Grandma likes to eat them, and that's more important than anything else."

Han Tao put the things aside with a smile, then greeted Zhang Anren.

Zhu Suosuo also looked at Zhang Anren beside him and said, "I know you are going home today, so I came here specially. Where is Nansun?"

Zhang Anren smiled and said, "Nansun went to the kitchen and will be out soon!"

"Oh!" Zhu Suosuo nodded, handed the two bags of things in her hand to Jiang Pengfei and said:

"This is the top-grade two-head abalone and shark fin from the Li family's old shop. I bought it specially for grandma."

Hearing this, Grandma Jiang looked at the things in her son's hand, and thought that Zhu Suosuo had specially packed them for her from the restaurant, and said happily:

"Grandma knows that Suosuo is the most filial and the one who is most willing to buy things for us, but we can't always spend money like this. Xiao Han has already taken so many things and we have cooked at home, why buy these!"

Zhu Suosuo smiled proudly: "Grandma, you're welcome, I just got a bonus, I didn't do anything this month but I got 30,000 yuan, I think I'm going to get rich.

So, I bought all of this with my own money, and I also transferred 10,000 yuan to my uncle and aunt. From now on, whatever you want to eat or whatever you want, I will buy it for you."

"Good, good, good, Suosuo is becoming more and more promising. Uncle is happy. I have another filial daughter!"

As he spoke, Jiang Pengfei put the thing Zhu Suosuo handed him on the table, just pressing down on Zhang Anren's letter of appointment.

When Zhang Anren saw that his precious letter of appointment was being used as a cushion, his eyes were filled with heartache, but his expression changed slightly before he immediately returned to his calm demeanor.

Jiang Nansun was in the kitchen. When she heard Zhu Suosuo's voice coming from the living room, she hurried out and took her arm and asked, "Suosuo, you're so slow. Why are you here so late?"

Zhu Suosuo laughed: "What's wrong? We just separated this morning, and you miss me so soon?"

"Of course, I miss you no matter how long I've been away!"

Jiang Nansun nodded and joked with Zhu Suosuo. She had originally planned to pull her to the kitchen to talk in private, but suddenly saw the letter of appointment that was pressed down. She quickly put the thing aside and said, "Oh, who put it here?"

After saying that, Jiang Nansun took out a few tissues and wiped the water stains on the letter of appointment. Fortunately, the abalone and shark fin were both placed in porcelain containers with lids and wrapped in tin foil. There was no oil, only some water droplets condensed from breath.

Zhu Suosuo knew the importance of the engagement letter to Zhang Anren, so she apologized while helping him: "Nansun, I'm sorry, I didn't notice!"

This was originally what Jiang Pengfei did on purpose, so when he saw Zhu Suosuo and Jiang Nansun busy, he said nonchalantly:

"Okay, there's nothing to be nervous about. It's not the property deed that you got!"

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Nansun turned around in anger and glared at her father, but she was interrupted by Zhang Anren before she could say anything.

"It's okay, it's okay. Uncle is right. Go talk to Suosuo and I'll take care of it. Be sure not to get any water on your clothes."

As he spoke, Zhang Anren took the letter of appointment and put it in his bag as if he didn't care. Then he took out a tissue and wiped the table. While wiping, he asked Jiang Pengfei if the water stains got on him.

Jiang Pengfei shook his head, looked at Zhang Anren, and said with special admiration: "Xiao Zhang, you are really good. You have high emotional intelligence and you are teachable!"

After that, he reached out and guided Han Tao, who was sending a message, to sit down while Zhang Anren thanked him, because in his eyes, no matter how high Zhang Anren's emotional intelligence was, he could not give his daughter Jiang Nansun a good life.

Especially since the Jiang family is facing bankruptcy, he doesn't believe that Zhang Anren will stand by the Jiang family. From the details, it can be seen that Zhang Anren is a smart man who plans every step carefully. He has already made plans for his life, such as buying a house as an assistant teacher, becoming a university teacher, getting married and obtaining a Shanghai hukou. He is determined to gain a firm foothold step by step.

The Jiang family was fine before, but now it is a stumbling block for him. Judging from his performance just now, Zhang Anren is not a person who acts on impulse. He will consider the proportion between gains and losses, and will also leave himself a way out.
