Hearing Fan Shengmei's words, Wang Baichuan became concerned and asked nervously, "Xiaomei, are you..."
"What are you thinking? Not to mention our status and position, even if he only cares about it, his family will not agree." Fan Shengmei rolled her eyes at him and then explained.
Wang Baichuan stared at Fan Shengmei blankly and said sincerely, "Xiaomei, in my heart you are the best. You are so outstanding that many men feel ashamed."
"No, I'm just an ordinary white-collar worker. I'm not as good as you say."
Fan Shengmei smoothed her hair embarrassedly. She was confused by Wang Bochuan's sudden confession, and a sense of joy suddenly surged in her heart.
Then the two of them looked at each other in the dusk until Wang Baichuan suggested going out for dinner and then sent her back, and they stayed nearby and never went far away.
As for Han Tao, after the Pullman came to a complete stop, Andy finally rubbed his eyes, slowly stood up, looked at him, and asked, "How did I fall asleep? Are we home yet?"
Han Tao checked the watch on his wrist, then smiled and replied, "You fell asleep not long after getting in the car. I think you slept for more than five hours!"
Hearing this, Andy looked around and found that he was indeed in the garage of Ode to Joy. So, in addition to the more than three hours of journey from Daiqian Nursing Home to Ode to Joy, he also slept for an extra two hours.
In other words, Han Tao had been with him for so long, so he said embarrassedly: "Slept for so long? Then why didn't you wake me up?"
Han Tao smiled and said, "You probably haven't been getting enough rest recently, so seeing you sleeping so soundly, I didn't have the heart to wake you up!"
"I've been really stressed lately, and I've caused you a lot of trouble these past two days. Let's go have dinner together!"
Han Tao didn't accept Andy's invitation. Instead, he opened the car door and said, "Get out first. We'll talk about dinner later. I just want to get upstairs quickly, otherwise I'll be choked up."
After saying that, Han Tao ignored Andy's slightly embarrassed smile, opened the door, got out of the car, and ran towards the elevator in the underground garage.
The elevator soon stopped at the 22nd floor. Han Tao said goodbye to Andy and couldn't wait to return to the bathroom at home on the 23rd floor.
After solving his physiological problems, Han Tao breathed a sigh of relief, planned to take a good bath, and then arrange to return to Handong tomorrow.
………………
At the same time, at the door of 2203, Andy had just entered the password when he heard Qiu Yingying in 2202 behind him shouting something.
It turned out that early this morning, Qiu Yingying's father rushed to see her because he was worried about his daughter. After arriving, he cooked for Yingying, took Yingying to the bookstore and bought her a lot of inspirational books. He also left three thousand yuan for his daughter and told her to stay in Shanghai to develop. Then, he hurried back to work.
At this time, Qiu Yingying was reading the so-called inspirational CD that came with the book. Andy walked in because he was worried that something might have happened to her again. Only then did he see her watching inspirational videos and reading books.
When Andy came in, Qiu Yingying was still very excited to recommend books to Andy. However, when faced with these good books that Qiu Yingying mentioned, Andy could see at a glance that these books were illogical, many of the examples in them were not applicable, and most of them were exceptions, so they could not be used as his own goals at all.
The reason why these exceptions are inspiring is that, in the final analysis, the people in the book are full of legends, but if you really delve into it, or want to follow their path, you will find that it simply won't work.
After Andy kindly told Qiu Yingying some of this, Qiu Yingying thought that Andy looked down on her and wanted to argue with Andy. Seeing that he couldn't explain it clearly to her, Andy could only apologize and return home.
But Qiu Yingying did not give up. She chased Andy directly to the door of his house and kept saying that these books were bought by her father and that Andy should not look down on her and her father.
Finally, when Qiu Yingying saw that Andy ignored her, she moved a stool and sat at Andy's door, constantly sending her messages expressing her opinions.
At first, Andy exchanged text messages with Qiu Yingying, but later Qiu Yingying's words became meaningless. Thinking that fools should not judge her appearance, Andy stopped paying attention to Qiu Yingying.
After bidding farewell to Wang Baichuan, Fan Shengmei dragged her tired body back to the door of 2202. She had helped Wang Baichuan clean the office today and was really exhausted. She didn't even accept the invitation to dinner.
Seeing Qiu Yingying sitting at Andy's door, Fan Shengmei curiously asked her what she was doing. Qiu Yingying felt like seeing a relative when she saw her.
He told Fan Shengmei about what happened today, how his father came to see him and bought him books, how the study environment was bad and Andy looked down on him, etc.
After hearing this, Fan Shengmei, who was physically and mentally exhausted, felt very annoyed and could only say that she was very tired today and wanted to rest for a while before talking about anything.
Seeing that Fan Shengmei agreed to tell her later, Qiu Yingying happily walked back with her. However, when she saw Fan Shengmei holding a bouquet of roses, Qiu Yingying, who was heartbroken and unemployed, said that this was simply a stab to her blood. Frightened, Fan Shengmei quickly put the roses back to her room and then fell on the bed.

Chapter 302: The Conflict and Gu Jia's Request for Help
When Guan Juer returned home from the library, she saw Qiu Yingying lying on the table reading a book, so she asked curiously:
"Yingying, why are you alone? Where is your uncle?"
"My dad went home, and Sister Fan went to sleep right after she came back, saying she was very tired."
After saying that, Qiu Yingying looked up at Guan Juer, then continued to study hard.
Hearing this, Guan Juer walked to the door of Fan Shengmei's room, gently pushed it open and asked, "Sister Fan, why are you asleep? Have you taken off your makeup?"
Her reminder instantly sobered Fan Shengmei up. She stood up and touched her face, exclaiming, "Oh, I really didn't remove my makeup. Thank you, Guan Guan, you are my skin's lifesaver."
Guan Juer smiled, said nothing, turned around and went back to her room, intending to change clothes and wash up.
Fan Shengmei walked towards the bathroom and asked Qiu Yingying, "Little Earthworm, what did you just say? I fell asleep while listening to you."
Qiu Yingying looked up at her and complained unhappily, "It's okay, Sister Fan. It's Andy who looks down on me. I'll just stay away from him from now on!"
Guan Juer heard Qiu Yingying say this in the room and hurried out to defend her, saying, "Impossible! Andy doesn't even look down on a rookie like me, so how could she look down on you?
My dad once said that a person's character won't change easily, so Yingying, is there any misunderstanding here? Why don't I talk to her about it tomorrow? It's better for everyone to talk it out!"
Hearing this, Qiu Yingying stood up and said angrily, "Guan Guan, you know my dad came to see me today. Before he left, he bought me a lot of success books. But after Andy saw them, she actually said that these books were bad and illogical. Don't you think she looks down on me?
I know that besides Brother Han's car, you often take rides with Andy, but you can't be so biased in her words without any bottom line. We are best friends."
"Yingying, I know you've been in a bad mood these past few days, but you can't just accuse others wrongly, right?"
"Guan Guan, how did I wrongly accuse her? This is the book my father bought for me. What right does she have to tell me what to do? I know I'm not as smart as Andy, nor as rich as Andy, so you all side with her."
"Yingying, what are you talking about..."
Hearing the quarrel outside, Fan Shengmei hurried out of the bathroom and said, "What are you doing? What are you doing?
We all live in the same building and are good sisters. It is inevitable for girls to have quarrels with each other. How can you comment on others like that?
Little earthworm, I like you, but I also believe in Andy's character. She has no reason to look down on you, and there is no conflict of interest between you two. Don't you agree?
Qiu Yingying looked at Fan Shengmei aggrievedly: "Sister Fan, I know, but Andy hurt my self-esteem!"
"I understand. She's wrong about this. Everything needs a method and procedure. But it's too late today. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
After saying that, Fan Shengmei pulled Qiu Yingying aside and gave Guan Juer a wink.
Guan Juer was not very angry at all, and she didn't know what to say to Qiu Yingying at this time. She could only turn around and go back to her room to sulk.
After taking a nice hot bath, Andy originally planned to invite Han Tao for a midnight snack, but thinking that both of them were tired after returning from a long journey, she decided to find another time. Finally, after sending a message, she called Lao Tan again.
"Hey, Lao Tan, I've taken care of everything here. I'll be back to work as normal on Monday. I've already checked out that project in the US, and it has a very high rate of return. I've asked someone to make a plan, and it will be done as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Tan Zongming said with concern: "Are you really ready? Otherwise, take a break for a while. There is no rush for work."
Andy shook his head: "I'm really fine now. This trip to Daishan was better than I thought, especially with Han Tao's help. My brother has an inexplicable affection and trust for him!"
"I've heard from Lao Yan that it's indeed an unexpected surprise. If you're really okay with it, then I won't stop you. See you on Monday!"
Hearing Tan Zongming's answer, Andy smiled and nodded, "Okay, see you on Monday. I'm hanging up!"
"See you!"
Tan Zongming nodded. At this moment, Lao Yan, who had just finished explaining the situation, couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Old Tan, let me ask you something. Why didn't you and Andy become a couple? I think it would be natural for you two to become a couple."
Yan Luming is a good friend of Tan Zongming and they have a very good personal relationship. Otherwise, Tan Zongming would not have entrusted the matter of Andy's life experience and the search for her brother to Old Yan.
Therefore, Lao Yan knows Tan Zongming definitely better than an ordinary friend, and he also sees that Tan Zongming has a good impression of Andy. The two know each other and have worked together when they were abroad. They are like-minded, but why didn't they get together?
Seeing Yan Luming's curiosity, Lao Tan pretended to be indifferent and said, "I once suffered a lot from Andy at work, and I still remember it vividly. Colleagues who are too smart are very scary. They can only be friends, not wives.
And you know my situation well. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't convince the old folks at home. They wouldn't allow me to take even one percent of the risk."
"I see, Andy's situation is indeed special!"
Yan Luming nodded. In fact, for Tan Zongming, marriage and emotions are not everything. Family inheritance and career are everything.
After all, he is a business tycoon with a net worth of over 10 billion. For people like him, love is just the icing on the cake and a spice of life. They have the ability to make any girl who follows them happy and ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing.
Therefore, they will not overly pursue the so-called form, and marriage is no longer the dominant factor in their emotions, because they care more about whether the family is strong and how much future prospects it has.
This is different from those rich second-generations who have no real power. Those people must completely obey the arrangements of their parents or family. However, for people like Lao Tan who have strong personal abilities, their families allow them to consolidate their status without relying on marriage.
Lao Tan may really like Andy, but since he cannot give her happiness, he chooses to protect her silently. Over the years, it has gone beyond ordinary emotions. I guess he just wants to accompany his beloved in another way and protect her from wind and rain.
There was no grand confession of love between the two, nor were there any romantic love words. They just appeared at the first time when she needed them, because this was the best way that Lao Tan could do. After all, Andy was too sensitive, and her original family had a history of hereditary mental illness.
Old Tan could indeed not care, but his family could not. This is a family inheritance issue and cannot be taken lightly, so for the sake of family genes, he really cannot take risks.
Andy, who hung up the phone, was filled with emotion. First, he found his brother and learned about his specific situation. Just when he was afraid, he encountered a turning point. Until yesterday's trip to Daishan, it was simply too full of ups and downs.
Just when she was stunned, a new message came on her phone. Andy took a look and found that it was from Wei Wei.
Wei Wei has been asking about Andy's well-being these past two days, but Andy was too busy with his brother's affairs to care about this netizen whom he had met twice. However, considering that he helped him and gave him some things to pay attention to when meeting his brother, as well as some suggestions, he replied to him.
Wei Wei was indeed very persistent. He had originally planned to go with Andy, but knowing that she was already accompanied by someone, and thinking of the unpleasant performance during the last meal, he did not dare to go to her house. He could only ask and give advice in the message.
So when Wei Wei saw Andy agreed to his next dinner date, he sat up excitedly. He was still thinking about how to persuade her, but he didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly.
…………
At the same time, Han Tao was also planning to take a break, but was startled by the ringing of his cell phone. He picked up the phone and took a look. It showed that it was Gu Jia, so he pressed the answer button directly.
"Hello, Gu Jia, what's going on?"
"Fight? Don't worry, is the other party seriously injured?"
"Okay, I got it. I'll arrange for someone to go over right away. Don't worry!"
"Don't worry, it's not a big deal. He's a college student and is more worried than your Xu Huanshan. The people I'll send over will take care of it."
"You're welcome. Besides being friends, your company is now a client of our law firm. This is as it should be."
"okay bye!"
After Han Tao hung up the phone, he called Chen Ran and asked her to arrange for Liu Fang to go to the police station. He explained the situation and suggested solutions.
Things like gang fights are not big or small, especially since Xu Huanshan and others were more seriously injured, it is not difficult to deal with.
After all, this still constitutes a crime and can be adjusted. Only if it cannot be adjusted will the next procedure be taken.
If the victim suffers minor injuries, does not constitute an injury, or does not require an appraisal, and the two parties cannot reach a mediation agreement, the public security organ will impose penalties in accordance with Article 43 of the Public Security Administration Punishment Law.
Chapter 303 Gu Jia's Helplessness
In Room 1201 on the 12th floor of Grand Hyatt Mansion, Gu Jia was giving medicine to Xu Huanshan, who had been detained by the police station for most of the day because of a fight while playing football, while she couldn't help but scold him:
"What the hell are you thinking? You're already so old and still fighting? You forgot you were going to Beijing on a business trip tomorrow, but now you're just putting on a clown face and see how you're going to meet the clients."
Xu Huanshan, with a bruised face and nose, sat on the sofa in the living room, grimacing in pain: "Wife, I'm sorry, you see I forgot such a big thing, it's all my fault that my brain is not working well. I won't do it again next time.
The main reason was that the group of college students who started the fight were too arrogant. I couldn't help myself and started fighting. You don't know how unethical those guys are. They only hit people in the face, and they even ripped off Old Shen's shoes."
Seeing him being so careless, Gu Jia rolled her eyes at Xu Huanshan and said unhappily, "I've always been against you playing football. You said there are so many sports you wouldn't choose, but you had to choose something like this intense collision.
Last time, you strained your ligament and were out for over a month. This time, you're in great shape, even getting into a fight with some college students. Old Shen is quite a promising guy, but the two of you together are a negative. Do you really think going to the police station is fun?"
Hearing Gu Jia bring up the past and objecting to him playing football again, Xu Huanshan frowned and said, "Why is playing football bad? Isn't playing football a good thing for exercise?
The fight was just a momentary impulse, and there's nothing to lose. We can say we're not friends until we fight. So, after all, isn't it because I forgot about tomorrow's mission? We've already discussed it once, and it's just a matter of signing the contract. What's the big deal?
Hearing Xu Huanshan's nonchalant tone, Gu Jia couldn't help but lecture him, "If I hadn't called Han Tao late at night and he had arranged for someone to get you out, you would have been detained, and all our efforts would have been in vain!"
"How can it be in vain? They didn't even look at my design plan, so how could they care about my face? As long as you get along well with Wang Manni and don't offend Han Tao, plus Mrs. Yu's help, this is nothing!
Besides, they have so many clients and theme parks, they don't need one or two of them. Fighting is no big deal. All Lawyer Han needs to do is make a phone call and everything will be settled."
Gu Jia was so angry when she heard Xu Huanshan say this that she deliberately touched his wound. After he grimaced in pain, she said, "What do you mean? Why are you talking so sarcastic?"
"Why am I being so sarcastic? What's the difference between you scolding me and scolding your son? You won't let me eat dinner or play football. I don't have any freedom at all now. I'm old enough, so I can call you wife now. I have to call you Mrs. Xu!"
After saying that, Xu Huanshan stood up and walked to the mirror, holding a cotton swab and applying medicine to himself in the mirror.
Gu Jia glanced helplessly, then walked over to Xu Huanshan and continued to apply medicine to him while saying, "After all, you're still targeting Han Tao and the wives' circle!"
Xu Huanshan responded angrily, "Yes, I'm targeting Han Tao and the wives' circle. Our family lives a good life. We can't reach such a wealthy man. Why do you have to jump up and down to reach for him?"
"What's good about that? You don't know the situation of our company. If something goes wrong, it will be a disaster. Don't you understand?"
After loudly refuting Xu Huanshan, Gu Jia looked at him angrily. Seeing Xu Huanshan's face full of disbelief, Gu Jia realized that this was the first time she had lost her temper with him, and then she softened her tone:
"Honey, I'm sorry. I was rude just now, but I was also anxious. Our family has finally ushered in such a new situation, and you made your face look like this again. I feel sorry for you.
But our current fireworks display plan hasn't been fully approved yet, and the orders haven't been completely secured yet. We can't relax at this point, right?"
Seeing Gu Jia get angry for the first time, Xu Huanshan also took the opportunity to back down and quickly admitted his mistake, saying, "Wife, you are right, I really shouldn't have fought. This time, thanks to Han Tao's help, Lao Shen and I were able to get out safely.
Of course, it is thanks to him that we can receive new orders. After all, with the fireworks show every week, if the Binhai order can be successfully obtained, the company's turnover can be increased several times. This is all thanks to you, my wife, and it is all because of your foresight.
Actually, I feel a little unbalanced. The last time I went to Beijing, the person in charge was just like Boss Yu. He decided to cooperate with us after only looking at our qualifications. I thought the person in charge would be more serious.
