Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

Andy thought about it and felt helpless about Qiu Yingying's thoughts. He could only shrug his shoulders, open the car door, sit in the driver's seat, then start the engine, lower the window, say hello and leave.

Seeing Andy's car drive away, Qu Xiaoxiao turned around and looked at Han Tao, saying charmingly, "Brother Han, are you free tonight? Let's celebrate together after I deal with the GI people!"

Hearing her say this, Han Tao walked towards his new car and reminded her, "Don't get carried away. Everything is empty before you sign the contract. Wait until you get it."

Seeing that Han Tao didn't agree, Qu Xiaoxiao said cunningly, "Even if there's no project, you shouldn't delay your meal. The company isn't just mine. I've been busy all day, so it's only right that I get a reward, right?"

"Eating is fine, but not today. You're going to eat some super expensive seafood sashimi. I'll treat you to plenty when I'm done!"

After saying that, Han Tao prepared to get in the car and leave. This was the Maybach Pullman that the system had rewarded him. He had not originally planned to drive it himself because it was too ostentatious.

However, after Yang Dongxu sent it to his eldest brother, he reopened it. The only difference was that the ownership changed and it fell under the name of Hantao Investment.

In the words of the eldest brother, no matter he is the second largest shareholder of Hantao Investment, the head of Red Star Capital, or his wealth, a Pullman is nothing, just use it with confidence.

Seeing this multi-million-level luxury car, Qu Xiaoxiao looked at Han Tao in surprise, then blocked the car door with her body and said in a coquettish voice:

"Uncle, I'd love to go over to your place tonight and open a bottle of wine. It doesn't matter if we have dinner or not. I mainly want to discuss these development plans with you."

Han Tao glanced at Qu Xiaoxiao. Judging from the situation, the so-called development plan was completely illogical. This little devil was obviously greedy for his body again.

Thinking of this, Han Tao pulled her into the Pullman and said, "It's still early, let me take you there. It takes about 30 to 40 minutes to get to the company building from here. Let's talk on the way!"

After saying that, Han Tao ignored Qu Xiaoxiao's exclamation and blushing, and directly ordered Yang Dongxu to drive, and then raised the partition between the front and rear rows.

Yang Dongxu nodded, feeling a mouthful of dog food, and responded while driving: "Okay, Boss, you and Miss Qu can chat slowly, I'll call you when we get there."

As soon as he finished speaking, the partition was raised to the top, and then the vehicle drove smoothly towards the Lujiazui business district.

Chapter 285

At 7:45, in the area where the financial building is located, downstairs of the Qu Group office building, a black Maybach Pullman slowly stopped at the door. The employees who had just arrived at work and the project manager who was waiting for Qu Xiaoxiao all looked at the luxury car and talked about it.

"Does anyone know what kind of car this is? It looks very high-end. I've never seen this type of Mercedes before!"

"I saw it in a magazine. This should be a Maybach Pullman. It seems to be comparable to Mr. Qu's Rolls-Royce Phantom."

"Are you reading a fake luxury car magazine? Although Maybach isn't as famous as Rolls-Royce, this Pullman starts at 1300 million, which is enough to buy two Phantoms. And like a Rolls-Royce, this car isn't necessarily something you can buy even if you have money."

"Brother Zhang is right. This car is limited in China, and there are probably no more than 30 of them. Anyone who can ride it must be very wealthy. This is what we call true low-key luxury!"

"That's amazing! I thought Mr. Qu's car was amazing. A car logo is worth over 100,000 yuan, an umbrella is worth over 100,000 yuan, and any scratch would cost hundreds of thousands of yuan to repair.

I didn't expect this Pullman to be so awesome, but why is it parked near our company? Could it be that Mr. Qu just bought it?"

"Shut up, aren't you ashamed? The GI people will be here soon to check on the preparation of the materials. You are just gossiping like you have nothing better to do!"

"Manager Wang, the person getting out of the car looks to be Mr. Qu's daughter, Qu Xiaoxiao. Let's go and greet her!"

"You should call her Little Boss Qu. Now Miss Qu is our immediate superior, and she has even brought in investors herself. This is no longer just a branch office."

After saying that, Manager Wang walked towards Qu Xiaoxiao, who had just gotten off the Pullman. As he walked, he sighed, "As expected of the company's CEO, you're not so flashy anymore. Your appearance is now more refined, and your complexion is rosy and radiant. It's just that your spirits are a little off. I guess you stayed up late because of the GI agency business."

Thinking of this, he smiled and called out to Qu Xiaoxiao, "Boss Qu, you're here! The boss is already waiting for you in the office!"

"My dad is here so early?"

Qu Xiaoxiao, her legs weak, replied in surprise. Then she looked at Han Tao in the car, rolled her eyes, and said coquettishly, "How about you, a busy man, come in and have a seat? I'm worried that I can't handle those foreign guests!"

"I really can't leave today. I have to attend an unveiling ceremony on behalf of Jingyan Group, and there's also a salon this afternoon. I really can't leave.

But I believe you will be fine. If you have any concerns, just call me or ask Andy. She came back from Wall Street and has the best way to deal with these foreigners. "

After saying that, Han Tao smiled and waved his hand, then rolled up the bulletproof window and told Yang Dongxu to drive.

"Bah, you just eat everything and leave me alone, you big pig's hoof!"

Looking at the car driving away, Qu Xiaoxiao spat inwardly, then turned around and said a few words to Manager Wang, then took the prepared documents and walked into the Qu Group building.

The two of them quickly arrived at Qu Xiaoxiao's father's office. Before she could even speak, her father asked:

"Xiao Xiao, Dad just contacted the foreign party. They will arrive on time at 9 o'clock. Are you confident in negotiating this project?"

Hearing this, Qu Xiaoxiao glanced at her project manager and replied to her father, Qu Datou, "Don't you see whose daughter I am? Of course I have confidence!"

"Okay, seeing my daughter so confident, Dad is relieved!"

Father Qu nodded happily, and then earnestly instructed: "We must get the agency of the GI brand, so that we can expand the company's reputation.

So when you negotiate later, pay attention to the rhythm, make concessions on some conditions, and sacrifice some profits when necessary."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Dad, for giving me the power."

After saying that, Qu Xiaoxiao yawned, then walked to the sofa and sat down. "It's still early, so I'll take a nap. I spent half the night reading materials yesterday and I'm so sleepy!"

Hearing his daughter say this, Father Qu looked at her distressedly and nodded, "Okay, get some sleep, Dad will guard the door and prevent them from disturbing you.

Seeing my daughter making such progress, Dad is really happy, but she can’t be too tired, and needs to take care of her health! "

"Okay, I'll get some sleep then!"

After saying that, Qu Xiaoxiao lay down on the sofa, complaining in her heart why she couldn't control herself, and she already regretted that she had gone too far.

Therefore, she really didn't care about her image at this moment. She just wanted to have a good rest so that she could deal with the representatives of the GI brand later.

Seeing this, Qu's father motioned for everyone to follow him out while giving his daughter Qu Xiaoxiao's project manager some inspirational advice:

"You will be her right-hand men from now on. You should help Xiao Qu with her worries and not let her handle everything alone.

Then there's the GI issue. Please check the information again. If this project is successful, your year-end bonus will be doubled!"

Upon hearing this, Manager Wang and others immediately expressed their loyalty and promised to work hard. During this time, Manager Wang recalled what he had just seen and heard and told Qu's father about the situation.

After hearing this, Qu Xiaoxiao's father began to wonder. He had never heard that his daughter's friend had such a nice car. After all, Qu Xiaoxiao's father was familiar with both the individuals and the families behind them.

Suddenly he thought of the investor his daughter had mentioned, including the report that the other party had helped his daughter prepare. He couldn't help but become extremely interested in this person he had never met before and his identity. He secretly decided that when his daughter woke up, he would ask her about the situation.

At this time, Han Tao was rushing to Mingtang Law Firm. He had to arrange today's work as soon as possible, especially the matter of the foreign security company. Xu Jie had been helping Wang Yadong with a series of matters such as registering and acquiring relevant companies abroad recently.

In addition to this, there are some new cases that need to be assigned to Group 2, so he does have a lot to do today. In addition to arranging these tasks, he also has to attend the opening ceremony of Songjiang Hotel.

There was also a banquet and a salon after the unveiling ceremony. Ye Jinyan was busy with Dongli's affairs and really couldn't leave. As a major shareholder and CLO, he should share the burden.

Before getting off the car, he remembered one thing: the stock market crash would make Dongli difficult to sell, and Jiang Nansun was also invited to attend the opening ceremony, so he sent them a message respectively.

He reminded Jiang Nansun not to miss the time, and told Zhu Suosuo not to worry. He would place the first order for Dongli's opening. In addition to supporting his own project, he would also help Zhu Suosuo get off to a good start.

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

At the same time, after reading Han Tao's message, Jiang Nansun received a call from Zhang Anren saying that he had left to pick her up. So she hurriedly and quietly moved Zhu Suosuo's hands and feet away from her body, and then slowly got out of bed.

Ten minutes later, when Jiang Nansun finished washing up and came out, she saw Zhu Suosuo had woken up but was still lying in bed. She couldn't help but slap her and said, "Hurry up and get up, or you'll be late for work!"

Hearing Jiang Nansun say this, Zhu Suosuo sat up from the bed, rubbing her hair, reaching out to touch the phone on the bedside, took a look and said:

"It's all that Yuanyuan or Circle's fault. It doesn't matter if she came to Shanghai, but she made us both sleep so late.

How about I ask Manager Yang for a leave, and we can go with Zhang Anren to pick him up. I want to see how capable he is to disturb our Princess Jiang's life."

Seeing that Zhu Suosuo was getting more and more excited and even angrier than herself, Jiang Nansun looked at her with a smile: "I don't think it's very good. You have just started working for a short time. It's not good to always ask for leave. Hurry up and get up to eat. Yesterday you said you would sell the house to support me. With this attitude, how can you do a good job?

Besides, I have to attend the opening ceremony of Songjiang Hotel later and don't have time to deal with them. We can talk about it tonight if there is anything."

Hearing Jiang Nansun say this, Zhu Suosuo rolled her eyes at her and said unhappily, "It doesn't matter if I can't support you. We still have Brother Han. He can take good care of both of us. On the contrary, you are simply inviting a wolf into the house!"

"I can support myself. Besides, are you sure you want Han Tao to support me? Even if you are willing to share with me, I still don't like him. You are a playboy. Only you treat him like a treasure."

"Forget it, I'd better work hard to support my Princess Jiang. It doesn't matter whether you like him or not. I'm afraid he will eat you alive!"

As she spoke, Zhu Suosuo started to get up and get dressed. Although she knew that Jiang Nansun was joking, she really didn't want to give Han Tao this opportunity. Unless there was a compelling reason, why would she share her big brother Han?

Jiang Nansun smiled and said nothing. She went to the restaurant to have breakfast alone. Sister Zhang had already prepared several breakfasts, including her and Suosuo's favorite steamed dumplings and xiaolongbao, as well as shepherd's purse wontons.

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

Chapter 286 Jiang Nansun's Test

After breakfast, Jiang Nansun and Zhu Suosuo went downstairs together. At this time, Zhang Anren was already waiting at the entrance of the community.

As for Zhu Suosuo, since she was going to meet some clients with Yang Ke today and considering that they might have to drink, she didn't drive. She also declined Jiang Nansun's offer to give her a ride and took a taxi to Jingyan alone.

After the two separated at the door, Jiang Nansun sat in the passenger seat of the BMW i3. Zhang Anren looked at her in a white dress, gently handed her a cup of milk tea and asked:

"Nansun, should we go directly to Songjiang, or should we have breakfast first?"

Jiang Nansun fastened her seatbelt, then took the milk tea and said, "I've already had breakfast. Sister Zhang prepared it early in the morning. Let's go directly to the Songjiang Hotel!"

"It's okay to eat it. Skipping breakfast is bad for your stomach!"

Hearing that the nanny had already prepared the meal, Zhang Anren's inferiority complex made him feel uncomfortable comparing himself with Jiang Nansun, and he suddenly felt that he was really not in the same class as Jiang Nansun.

He couldn't accept this kind of rich people's lifestyle. Jiang Nansun didn't have to do anything and someone would provide her with a car and a nanny. After a long time, she lost her ambition.

He was also a little afraid that Zhu Suosuo would have an IUD. After all, Zhu Suosuo's luxurious life was not earned through her own efforts, but by her looks.

Zhang Anren was particularly disgusted by this kind of value. In fact, he had wanted to integrate into this circle, but this circle did not accept him. Jiang Pengfei even bluntly said that the two were not suitable. All these actions were hitting his self-esteem. His doctoral degree, which he was proud of, and the house he bought with his own ability were not worth mentioning in the eyes of the other party.

Although he had this thought, Zhang Anren's expression showed nothing. He started the car and asked with a smile:

"Nansun, we're going to Songjiang so early. How about I walk you around? Doesn't the unveiling ceremony start around noon?"

Jiang Nansun glanced at him and said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "I want to go over there in advance and take a look, so that I can lend a hand if there's anything I need help with.

One is to stand guard for the last time, and the other is to study hard. In the future, I also plan to work on some projects with Professor Dong, which will allow me to gain experience and earn some extra money.

From now on, the spoiled Princess Jiang will slowly adapt to ordinary life. I have to learn to be self-reliant, otherwise it will be too tiring for you to support two people."

Hearing Jiang Nansun say this, Zhang Anren was stunned for a moment, then he smiled again and said, "Nansun, you are still taking the doctoral exam, don't put too much pressure on yourself. I know you don't want to accept the support and constraints of your family, so I will work hard.

I promise that no matter whether you are the spoiled Princess Jiang or not, I will always be your knight and take care of you and protect you."

Hearing this, Jiang Nansun thought about what she had talked about with Suosuo last night, so she planned to take this opportunity to test Zhang Anren, so she turned around and asked:

"Zhang Anren, I want to tell you something. You heard it yesterday. My father lost a lot of money in stocks, so he wants to borrow some money from you to make ends meet. Are you willing to lend it to him?"

Zhang Anren never thought that Jiang Nansun would say that borrowing money was a problem, so he blurted out: "Nansun, you know my situation. I only get a small salary every month. After deducting the mortgage and basic living expenses, there is basically not much money left. You can tell your uncle to buy less stocks or sell some as soon as possible.

You heard it at dinner the other day. Even though Han Tao had made so much money in the stock market, he was still trying to persuade Uncle to cut his losses. It's like gambling; you can't get too deep into it."

Hearing Zhang Anren's unhesitating rejection and complaints, Jiang Nansun suppressed her discomfort and continued to ask tentatively:

"But now he's been stuck. Unless the stock market rebounds, my dad won't have time to sell it. Don't you have a reserve fund there?

Or, you can find a way from somewhere else and lend my dad some money first, and I will definitely pay you back later."

"Nansun, you also said it's a reserve fund, right? That's the money I save for emergencies, and I can't touch it unless it's absolutely necessary.

If my uncle was sick or something, I could lend him the money. But he lost money speculating in the stock market, which is like gambling, a bottomless pit. I can't use the money.

Besides, my parents are old, and most of their savings have been used for the down payment of a house. Now they live on their pension. As their son, I already feel indebted to them and there is no way I can take money from them anymore!"

After saying that, he glanced at Jiang Nansun in the passenger seat. Seeing that she looked calm, he continued, "In my opinion, you should just forget about this matter. Uncle has been trading stocks for so many years, he will figure it out on his own. Right now, you and I are willing but unable to help him. We simply don't have the ability or financial resources to help him."

Jiang Nansun looked at Zhang Anren in front of her. Not only did he not want to pay the money, but he was also persuading her not to care about it. She felt a little sad and disappointed in her heart, but she could understand Zhang Anren. After all, he relied on his own efforts to achieve everything he has today, so it wouldn't be too much for him to be cautious.

Thinking that it was just a test after all, and that she didn't approve of her father's stock speculation, she just wanted a boyfriend who didn't speculate in stocks or real estate, so she forced a smile and said:

"Okay, I was just kidding. My mom and grandma should have some savings, and we have a house there. After paying off the debt, it should be no problem to have a few thousand left.

Besides, even if our family is really in debt, you can't help much and he won't ask you to borrow money.

But your behavior today is different from what you said before and what you just said. The princess you claim to always protect has even asked for money herself, and you actually refused.

Hearing Jiang Nansun say this, her words were full of disappointment, and Zhang Anren's heart was alarmed. If the Jiang family was broke, could they just buy a car worth more than 300,000 yuan? If they were really broke, could Jiang Nansun's mother buy gold like buying vegetables?

Thinking of this, Zhang Anren hurriedly continued to explain: "Nansun, you really misunderstood me. It's not that I don't want to lend you money. I just think that stock trading is too risky. I'm afraid he'll use the money to cover his position. You have to understand my painstaking efforts!"

Hearing him say this, Jiang Nansun shook her head and said, "I know your financial situation, and I'm also against my father's stock speculation, so what I need is not how much money you can borrow, but your attitude.

I want to see if you are really willing to protect me from the wind and rain, and if you are willing to go all out to help me when I need you, rather than listening to you tell me how dangerous the stock market is and what your difficulties are.

"I'm sorry, Nansun. I said that just now because I didn't think too much about it. I thought it was your uncle who was borrowing money. I really can't approve of spending all our family property, even selling our house to invest in stocks, because I want to give you a stable home.

If you really want to borrow money from me, I will definitely do my best to help you. I already mentioned the reserve funds in my bank account. Even if I have to sell my house, I will help you and protect you."

Hearing Zhang Anren's solemn words, Jiang Nansun rolled her eyes, then said while drinking milk tea:

"I hope you won't let me down again. You've known my situation from the beginning to the end.

Although grandma thought about her grandson, I was the only daughter in the Jiang family, so many problems could not be avoided.

If you are truly ready to marry me, you must consider my parents and grandma. They are all your family members, and you can't escape the issue of taking care of them in their old age!"
