Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

"Sister Xiao Ming, I have to say a few words. If you don't really want to treat Xiao Ming well, then please leave. I won't let you take him away.

Xiao Ming has been with me since he was a child. It's been over ten years now. He's like my own son. Even without you, I will take good care of him. I can't let him feel uneasy just because he has a sister like you.

After saying that, she looked at Han Tao again. Yang Xiuyuan still respected this investor, so she sighed and said:

"Mr. Han, you are guests from afar. Please have lunch before leaving. Thanks to you, the food in the nursing home is much better than before."

Seeing that Dean Yang Xiuyuan was really angry, Andy was at a loss. Han Tao quickly apologized for her:

"Dean Xiuyuan, don't be angry. Andy has been looking for his brother for so many years. It's natural for him to be excited when he suddenly meets him."

"I know it's normal for you to find it hard to accept Xiao Ming's behavior for a while, but you also have to consider the method and approach. When Mr. Han first came, he got along very well with Xiao Ming. He was very well behaved. You just need to communicate with him well."

Andy nodded awkwardly: "Dean, it's my fault. I shouldn't have been so impulsive."

Upon hearing this, Dean Yang Xiuyuan sighed: "Forget it, it's not all your fault. We are all miserable people."

Andy gave a wry smile and didn't continue the topic. Instead, he said helplessly, "Dean, it seems that it will be difficult for me to take him away this time. Then I'll entrust my brother to you. It's good for him to be with you. I'll be relieved as long as he's fine.

However, I will send you money every month from now on, please buy him food and clothes for me."

Upon seeing this, Dean Yang Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment: "Although the child has been eating and living with me since he came, and he has a lot of feelings for me, and I don't want him to leave, but you are his biological sister after all. It's okay that we didn't find him before, but now we have found him..."

"Don't worry, Dean. I'm not ignoring him anymore."

Andy interrupted her and explained quickly, "I live in Shanghai and can visit him often. Han Tao said they're building a high-end sanatorium here. I think it would be easier for him to recover here with you by his side."

When he's almost recovered, and he's gotten to know me and can truly accept me, I'll take him back, so I'll continue to trouble you!"

After saying that, Andy bowed deeply. This sudden action made Dean Yang Xiuyuan subconsciously refuse and said, "No need..."

Andy continued, "Also, I've prepaid three months' worth of money. This is for your personal use. As for the nursing home's money, I've also participated in Han Tao's fund, so I'll make a special investment. It's a great favor to you and the nursing home that you're able to take such good care of him."

Seeing her take out 30,000 yuan and put it on the table, Dean Yang Xiuyuan replied anxiously:

"I will take care of Xiao Ming. I have been taking care of him since you came. I have never treated him badly. There is no need to do this.

"And you gave me too much money. Take it back, take it back." After saying that, Yang Xiuyuan stuffed the money back into Andy's hand.

Andy shook his head, put the money back on the table and said, "You must accept this money from the dean. Compared to what you have paid for so many years, this little money is nothing.

You have taken such good care of my brother without complaint, I beg you, please accept it."

"No, take it back. I really want your money."

Dean Yang Xiuyuan insisted on not accepting the money. She did not expect any reward when she took Xiao Ming in. Originally, she felt sorry for Xiao Ming, but later she really liked this poor child.

Old Yan intervened and said, "Director Yang, please accept it. You've taken care of Xiao Ming for so many years, and we don't know how to thank you. Let Andy express his gratitude, otherwise we'll feel bad.

Don't get me wrong, Andy isn't buying your care with money. We just can't keep asking you to subsidize our food, clothing, and daily expenses over the years. Besides this, we've also invested some money in the nursing home, so please accept it."

Dean Yang Xiuyuan saw that both Old Yan and Andy said so, so she couldn't refuse any longer, so she hesitated and said, "Then I will open an account for Xiao Ming to save this money. When he gets better and grows up, he can use it himself."

After saying that, she took the money and put it in the drawer and locked it, then insisted on her own opinion and gave Andy a receipt.

Han Tao also saw that Director Yang Xiuyuan was truly devoted to the nursing home and Xiao Ming, so he stopped Andy who was about to speak and said:

"In a few months, the expansion of the center will be completed, and the first phase of the nursing home will also be put into construction. In the future, we will give more bonuses to the existing staff of the nursing home, including Director Xiuyuan. In addition to the normal social security, they can also receive a separate dividend."

Dean Yang Xiuyuan couldn't refuse the benefits offered to everyone, so she said excitedly and gratefully:

"Thank you, Mr. Han and Sister Xiao Ming. Our nursing home is a non-profit organization. Furthermore, it's located in a remote area, so there aren't many donors. Therefore, the staff's income isn't high, barely enough to make ends meet. But everyone has persevered for so many years, and I want to thank you on their behalf for finally seeing the light of day."

Seeing that the matter was resolved satisfactorily, Andy looked at Xiao Ming's back and said, "Dean, I have another request. Can I stay here tonight and accompany my brother?"

"Of course, I'm so happy that you can stay with him. Before, when I saw you weren't very close to Xiao Ming, I thought you disliked him."

Dean Yang Xiuyuan looked at the group with a smile on her face and continued, "I'll ask the kitchen to prepare dinner for you. I've specially cleaned up the room Mr. Han stayed in last time, as well as the rooms on both sides. You can move in directly. By the way, take the receipt with you, let's go down and take a look."

Andy looked at Xiao Ming reluctantly. She knew that she had to slow down her contact with her brother, otherwise it would be bad if she stimulated him again.

However, Han Tao put the gift down for Xiao Ming very familiarly, and then the two of them happily followed Dean Yang Xiuyuan and Andy downstairs.

After a walk around, Han Tao took the initiative to take Andy to have dinner at the same table with Xiao Ming in order to help Andy get familiar with her younger brother as quickly as possible.

Because of his presence, Xiao Ming gradually let down his guard, at least he was no longer nervous looking at Andy. Maybe this is what they call blood is thicker than water.

After the meal, Andy said to Han Tao embarrassedly, "I'm sorry I didn't discuss with you about staying here. And you're so close to Xiao Ming. If you hadn't accompanied me, I know what I would have done. Thank you!"

"You're welcome. We got along very well the first time I met Xiao Ming. It might have been fate. You saw what he said to me. His illness was probably caused by something, and he should be able to recover."

They walked and talked, and the two followed Xiao Ming. When he sat in the pavilion, they started playing Sudoku. Han Tao also pulled Andy to join in. It was mainly Andy who gave Xiao Ming hints, and Xiao Ming no longer rejected her. The brother and sister had a lot of fun playing.

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

Chapter 300 Leaving Daishan

The next day, just after dawn, Han Tao finished washing up, knocked on the door next door, and then took Andy to the tea mountain for a run.

Along the way, all you see are rolling green hills, as if you are walking in a lush green forest, with tea plantations all around.

The tea garden is shrouded in a thin layer of mist in the early morning. From a distance, it looks like a veil covering the tea trees. Not only is the scenery beautiful, but the environment is also particularly healing.

Seeing that Andy liked this place very much, Han Tao began to introduce his plan to Andy. In fact, this place still has great investment value. After all, Daishan is backed by large and medium-sized cities such as Shanghai and Hangzhou, and is connected to many international routes. It is also a key point for the eastern river-sea transport and the Yangtze River Golden Waterway.

It not only has abundant waterways, deep-water ports and island resources, but is also an important logistics channel and maritime distribution base for the Yangtze River Delta's foreign trade.

Therefore, whether it is developing tourism or real estate, it is a good choice. With huge financial support and the strong combination of the two, there is still a lot of room for operation.

After Han Tao finished the introduction, Andy felt that the trip was worthwhile. Because of her brother's closeness last night, she happily took Han Tao to run five kilometers and then went to the old site of the welfare home.

The small county town developed slowly, so not much had changed when Daishan and Andy left. The welfare home, which had been abandoned for many years, had lost its former bustle and was left with only mottled walls and tall weeds.

This brought back memories for Andy, who recalled when he and his brother were children, and how they had memorized pi together. Finally, with Han Tao's comfort, he came to his senses and returned to the nursing home.

At this time, the staff in the nursing home also began to prepare for the day. Seeing the two return, Director Yang Xiuyuan also came out of the room and said with a smile:

"Mr. Han, Sister Xiaoming, you are up so early. Xiaoming just got up and is painting in the pavilion. Why don't you sit with him for a while?

I'll go and prepare breakfast for you. You two can take Xiao Ming to the cafeteria later!"

"Thank you, Dean. There's no need to go to such trouble. Just eat with the elderly!"

After that, Han Tao accompanied Andy to the pavilion. At this time, Xiao Ming was sitting in front of the window painting, and he was very serious. He seemed so quiet and well-behaved, which was definitely not the obedience that a mentally ill person should have.

Han Tao walked over and looked at his sketchbook. Seeing that the content was Han Tao's car, Han Tao and Andy were standing beside him and said with a smile:

"Xiao Ming, what are you drawing? Can I draw with you?"

"Xiao Ming likes Brother Han Tao. Thank you for the paintbrush. I'd like to paint with you!"

Sure enough, after receiving the friendship card yesterday, Xiao Ming's favorability towards Han Tao increased a lot.

Ding~~ Congratulations to the host for obtaining 20 points of goodwill generated by He Xiaoming, the supporting actor in "Ode to Joy", with a total of 80 points of goodwill. The system rewards 200 million yuan. Please keep up the good work, be brave to contact film and television characters, and complete the system tasks conscientiously!

Listening to the system's prompt, Han Tao smiled and pulled Xiao Ming's hand. Xiao Ming didn't try to dodge, but instead held his hand tightly.

"Xiao Ming, this is your sister, the one who loves you more than Brother Han Tao."

After saying that, Han Tao took Andy's hand again and put their hands together. Xiao Ming also did not struggle, and Andy did not reject Xiao Ming's touch.

In fact, there is no need to be surprised. After all, they are siblings. Andy's problem is a psychological disorder. As long as he relaxes his mind and interacts with more people, he will be fine. He did get better in the original drama.

With this good start, everything went much more smoothly afterwards. My Han Tao's matchmaking and Brother Xiao Ming Andy's first friendly contact were very successful.

Dean Yang Xiuyuan, who was a little worried, came to check again and saw the situation. She was very happy and relieved. She was most willing to see Xiao Ming and his sister get close.

Ding~~ Congratulations to the host for obtaining 10 points of goodwill from Andy, the heroine of "Ode to Joy", with a total of 90 points of goodwill. The system rewards 200 million. Please keep up the good work, be brave to contact film and television characters, and complete the system tasks conscientiously!

………………

After breakfast, Lao Yan also drove his cool Harley motorcycle to the nursing home, but Han Tao felt that Lao Yan's chubby temperament did not match the cool motorcycle at all.

Seeing Han Tao was about to leave, Xiao Ming, who had already become familiar with Andy, showed reluctance and anxiety on his face. The nursing home was full of elderly people and he didn't have many friends, so he held on to the corners of Han Tao's and Andy's clothes and refused to let go.

Dean Yang Xiuyuan, who was originally trying to comfort Xiao Ming, was stunned. She looked at Xiao Ming's actions and sighed that they were indeed siblings, so she asked softly:

"Xiao Ming, do you want to go home with your sister?"

Hearing this, Andy looked at Xiao Ming expectantly, but Xiao Ming shook his head: "I won't leave Second Granny, I won't leave, sister and brother can stay."

Hearing this, Andy looked at Xiao Ming with a distressed and reluctant look and said, "Xiao Ming, I will come to see you often. Whenever you are willing to go with me, I will come to pick you up!"

"Okay, Xiao Ming won't leave. Xiao Ming is waiting for his brother and sister to come and see him."

Looking at the reluctant siblings, Han Tao and Dean Yang Xiuyuan stepped aside and said, "Actually, Xiao Ming just lacks friends and communication. I think it's very likely that he has autism or has been traumatized, as I thought before, rather than a mental problem!"

"Well, this is the power of blood ties. Xiao Ming still needs the company of his relatives. It's also my fault that I am too busy and lack the company for him. It seems that there is hope for him to be cured!" Dean Yang Xiuyuan sighed.

Xiao Ming didn't say anything, just lowered his head and held Andy's hand. It seemed that he was really beginning to accept Andy as his sister.

"Xiao Ming, my brother and sister still have work to do. Let's say goodbye to them, okay?"

It was getting late, and Dean Yang Xiuyuan was afraid of delaying Han Tao, Andy and the others' return to Shanghai, as it was more than a three-hour drive, so she spoke softly to Xiao Ming.

Han Tao smiled and said, "Xiao Ming is the best. Brother and sister will come to see you when they are free, bring you gifts, and play games with you, okay?"

Hearing this, Xiao Ming looked up at Han Tao and Andy, then at Dean Yang Xiuyuan. He still chose the second mother-in-law, with whom he had been living day and night for more than ten years, so he let go of Andy's hand, nodded, and replied:

"Okay, Xiao Ming, be obedient. I'll wait for my brother and sister!"

"Great! Our Xiao Ming is the best. Now let's say goodbye to our brothers and sisters!"

Dean Yang Xiuyuan held Xiao Ming's hand, praised him, and guided him to say goodbye to Andy and others.

Xiao Ming nodded obediently: "Goodbye, brothers and sisters, Xiao Ming is waiting for you to come and play with Xiao Ming...!"

"Okay, I promised Xiao Ming that I would come to see him as soon as I have time!"

After saying that, Andy couldn't help but cover his mouth and ran out of the door, where Han Tao's car was parked.

Old Yan walked towards Andy. He was closer to Daishan, so he wanted to tell Andy something and convey some words from Old Tan.

Han Tao also nodded, grabbed Xiao Ming's hand, hooked their little fingers together, and then stamped a seal with his thumb and said:

"Make a promise. Brother will come to visit Xiao Ming often. Xiao Ming, be a good boy!"

"Yeah!" Xiao Ming nodded. After Han Tao turned around and left, he stared at the car thoughtfully.

Arriving at the door, Han Tao waved to Dean Yang Xiuyuan and said, "Then I'll be leaving, Dean Yang. If you have anything, just call me or talk to Wendy.

She is my administrative secretary. You guys communicated well before, and she is more familiar with your situation!"

"Okay, goodbye, Mr. Han. You and Sister Xiaoming, please be safe on the road. You are welcome to visit Daishan anytime!"

Dean Yang Xiuyuan nodded, smiled and waved goodbye.

She was very happy about Andy's visit, especially when she saw that the brother and sister got along well with each other. She was very relieved. After all, she would be retiring in a few years, and she had been thinking about how to take care of Xiao Ming if she stopped being the dean.

Chapter 301 Ode to Joy

On the way back to the city, because Andy didn't sleep much last night and Xiao Ming began to accept him, he felt so relaxed that he fell asleep unknowingly and slept soundly.

Seeing this, Han Tao asked Yang Dongxu to stay at the cross-sea bridge for two hours. When they returned to Ode to Joy, it was almost dusk and Andy had not woken up yet.

However, when passing by the gate of the community, Han Tao saw Fan Shengmei and Wang Baichuan bidding farewell to each other, and Fan Shengmei also saw Han Tao's car, and she waved out of politeness.

Seeing this, Han Tao asked Yang Dongxu to stop the car, got out and said hello: "Xiaomei, you are going out to dinner with your boyfriend. The roses are beautiful!"

Hearing this, Fan Shengmei felt a little embarrassed and blushed as she explained, "Brother Han, you misunderstood. This is my old classmate Wang Baichuan, the one you met last time. He is not my boyfriend."

"Excuse me, hello Mr. Wang, it's nice to meet you again."

After saying that, Han Tao took the initiative to extend his hand and shook hands with Wang Baichuan.

Wang Baichuan looked at Pullman and the handsome Han Tao in front of him, and he couldn't help feeling a little inferior. However, considering the office he had seen today, he said gratefully:

"Hello Mr. Han, Xiaomei showed me around the office today. Thank you so much!"

"You're welcome. Xiaomei's friends are those on the 22nd and 23rd floors. If you need any help, just tell Xiaomei. I believe you will succeed. Come on!"

Speaking of which, Han Tao has a good impression of Wang Bochuan. He is a loyal person and his love for Fan Shengmei has not changed over the years. He is also motivated and willing to work hard.

Wang Baichuan was somewhat flattered and replied happily, "Thank you, Mr. Han, thank you for your encouragement!"

"Then you guys chat, I'm leaving first, bye."

After saying that, Han Tao waved his hand, got back into the car, and told Yang Dongxu to drive into the parking lot.

Although Wang Baichuan's business was not big, he had been working in the business world for many years. It was obvious that Han Tao did not look down on him at all, so he said with emotion:

"Xiaomei, your neighbor looks very approachable and doesn't look like a billionaire at all."

Hearing this, Fan Shengmei nodded: "Yes, she is so young yet she has the assets and achievements she has now. Moreover, she is not arrogant at all and she is a very nice person."
