Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

Thinking of this, when they were in the earthquake experience area, Wei Wei wanted to take the opportunity to pretend to protect Andy, but he didn't expect that Andy was not in the earthquake zone at all, and was looking at the people around him who were exclaiming with a smile on his face.

Wei Wei realized that his plan had failed, so he had to look for another opportunity. So when the two of them were watching a science and education film, he noticed that Andy was staring at the screen intently, and he knew that his chance had come.

So Wei Wei took advantage of the moment when the asteroid hit the earth on the screen, and when the gravel, volcanic magma erupted together like fireworks, and while muttering how beautiful it was, he put his right hand around her back and put it on Andy's shoulder.

Feeling the touch on his shoulder, Andy subconsciously stood up, pushed Wei Wei away, and then ran out excitedly.

This action made the previous beauty seem like a mirage. As the smoke on the screen disappeared, Wei Wei lay on the ground in a daze, doubting his life for a moment.

After he knew Andy's experience, he deliberately chose such an occasion, but he didn't expect to fail, and Andy's reaction was so big.

After a brief moment of daze, Wei Wei saw Andy running away, and hurriedly apologized to the people around him, then got up and chased Andy.

When he saw Andy, who had relaxed at the door, he hurried forward and asked:

"Andy, what's wrong with you? Are you...are you angry?"

After adjusting his breathing, Andy glanced at Wei Wei and said with his head down, "I'm sorry!"

With that, Andy turned and left. Wei Wei hurriedly followed him and said a few caring words, trying to make Andy understand that what he had just said was unintentional, because he particularly didn't understand why Andy had such a big reaction.

But Andy walked out without saying a word, and Wei Wei could only send her back to Ode to Joy. Looking at Andy walking into the community, he felt desolate in his heart. He felt that he seemed to have no way to get into the other person's heart, and he couldn't figure out why.

In fact, he and Andy have been in contact for quite a while. They have been online friends for several years. Although they don't meet often in real life, in his opinion, after online friends meet in person, if they don't dislike each other, they should move on to the next step.

So Wei Wei returned to the riverside mansion, leaned against the bright floor-to-ceiling window, and looked at the scenery outside in a somewhat decadent manner, not understanding what was going on. Andy could not explain to him this unusual behavior.

Andy returned home, drank a bottle of water, and leaned against the window to think about what happened today. In fact, he was quite happy today. Maybe it was the contact with Han Tao, or the increasingly close interactions with neighbors, which made him have the illusion that he could make friends like ordinary people.

But now everything has returned to the starting point. Although she has a good impression of Wei Wei, she still cannot accept his physical contact.

She felt that maybe she was really not suitable for making friends. Her previous feeling might be because when she was on Wall Street, she had no relatives around her and no one to accompany her, so she just found a spiritual support to talk to.

But Andy thought about the question just now. She seemed to have never rejected any contact with Han Tao, including the elevator incident and her unintentional hug when she found her brother. She didn't seem to have any extreme behavior.

Comparing with this, Andy was even more surprised. Apart from work, Han Tao and he seldom called each other, but whenever he needed him, Han Tao would appear at the right time. On the contrary, Wei Wei, who chatted and contacted him frequently, never gave him this kind of secure feeling.

It was because of this that Andy was going to go upstairs to talk to Han Tao, but after Qu Xiaoxiao entered the room, Andy went downstairs and went home in disappointment.

She didn't understand why Qu Xiaoxiao would go to see Han Tao so late, and seeing Qu Xiaoxiao acting coquettishly, she felt that the relationship between the two was not simple.

Thinking of this, Andy felt that he could not hope for love at all. Perhaps it was the previous illusion that made him think that he could confide and share, or even find friends or lovers.

However, while she was daydreaming, Han Tao had already sent Qu Xiaoxiao, who had finished her noodles and was planning to stay at home, out.

Han Tao was so tired after being on a business trip for more than ten days that he just wanted to rest early. He had no time or energy to take care of her, and he had no interest in playing with Qu Xiaoxiao, the enchantress.

As for the stock issue, there was even less to talk about. Han Tao was only concerned with collecting the money this time, and Yao Bin had already reported to him, so there was no need to discuss this issue anymore.

Chapter 321 Fan Shengmei's Vanity

At the same time, Fan Shengmei and Wang Baichuan were decorating his new residence together, and the office of more than 200 square meters in Victory Building was also cleaned up by the two of them.

The office that Han Tao provided them actually had everything, including desks, chairs, and various supporting items. Of course, some valuable items had been moved away, but Wang Baichuan was still very grateful to Fan Shengmei.

Because he knew very well how time-consuming and laborious it was to find a suitable office. When he first started his company, it took him a long time to find one, and that was only possible because he had acquaintances in his hometown.

This is Shanghai, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money. Such a good location can definitely enhance the company's image and strength. Although he is grateful to Han Tao, he is even more grateful to Fan Shengmei. It was this old classmate's wide network of contacts and great reputation that allowed him to settle down in Shanghai so quickly.

Thinking of this, Wang Baichuan looked at Fan Shengmei happily and said, "Xiaomei, you have helped me so much, how do you want me to reward you?"

Fan Shengmei said modestly, "It's awkward to talk about this between old classmates. When you're done with your work these few days, treat me to a meal!"

Hearing this, Wang Baichuan said affectionately, "You've already helped me clean up these past few days, and we can open the shop tomorrow after buying some more things, so let's not wait any longer. I'll treat you to a meal right now!"

Fan Shengmei shook her head: "No, I'm too tired today. I just want to go home, take a shower, and have a good sleep."

"Look at me, you've been coming here to help after work these past few days. You must be exhausted. I'll take you home, and we'll go to the Hilton for a nice meal tomorrow."

After saying that, Wang Baichuan looked at Fan Shengmei. Fan Shengmei had helped him a lot during this period, and her enthusiasm had exceeded that of ordinary classmates, so he couldn't help but start to fantasize about living together with the goddess, which made him not feel tired at all.

Fan Shengmei, standing in Wang Baichuan's soon-to-open company, leaned against the windowsill and looked out at the river view, sighing:

"This is the Magic City. It makes you linger and reluctant to leave, even if you are exhausted and bruised and bloody!"

In fact, Fan Shengmei also fantasized that after being with Wang Bochuan, she would become the boss lady of this company.

By then, she might be able to buy a house of her own in Ode to Joy or other places in Shanghai, and Wang Baichuan would also have a car, and she would no longer be the tenant looked down upon by the property management.

After the two of them were yearning for a while, Fan Shengmei accompanied Wang Baichuan to the supermarket to buy daily necessities. At this time, they really didn't look like ordinary classmates, but like a pair of lovers, or even a couple.

In fact, Wang Bochuan really likes Fan Shengmei, or you can say it is a kind of sentiment. He couldn't get her in college, but now that he has achieved some success, he can stand beside her with dignity. This feeling is very wonderful.

However, Fan Shengmei doesn't like Wang Bochuan very much. She just treats him as a high-quality spare tire and enjoys the vanity of being pursued by men and even secretly loved by them.

When there weren't many things left to choose from, Fan Shengmei walked out with him and said:

"Baichuan, there are a few of our high school alumni in Shanghai. We often get together. Do you think you're free that day? I'd like to invite them over for a get-together."

Hearing Fan Shengmei say this, Wang Baichuan asked hesitantly, "Xiaomei, have you told them that I'm coming to Shanghai to develop my career?"

"Not yet. You didn't confirm your intention to come here before, and I don't know what kind of business you are in. I can't just say anything. Besides, I'm afraid you'll have too many social engagements and it would be too much trouble for you!"

"That's good. Don't notify them yet. On the one hand, I want to wait until the company is doing well. On the other hand, I don't want to take up our time because of other things or people.

Xiaomei, if possible, I want to spend more time alone with you during this period of time!"

Wang Bochuan couldn't help expressing his love to Fan Shengmei, which made the vain Fan Shengmei very happy. However, she knew that not being able to get what she wanted was the best, so she didn't give Wang Bochuan a definite answer.

But Wang Bochuan didn't mind. After paying the bill, he insisted on sending Fan Shengmei home. When they arrived at the entrance of Ode to Joy, he opened the car door for Fan Shengmei and said:

"Xiaomei, how about I leave the car here and take you upstairs? It's dark out now, and the neighborhood is so big. I'm really worried about you going back alone!"

Fan Shengmei didn't dare let Wang Bochuan take her upstairs. If that happened, Wang Bochuan would know that he was not as good as he said before, and he had to share a house with two roommates.

Thinking of this, Fan Shengmei pretended to be reserved and said, "What's there to worry about? I've been in Shanghai for so many years. Don't underestimate me. Don't worry, I can do it on my own. Bye."

Wang Bochuan knew that haste makes waste, and that he hadn't been working in vain for all these years, so in addition to pursuing Fan Shengmei, he also planned to make use of the resources around Fan Shengmei.

Especially the connections of bigwigs like Han Tao, so that one can take his career to the next level. After all, business is a two-way street. If you have good connections and can take shortcuts, why not do it?

Of course, if you want to use other people's connections, you naturally have to pay a corresponding price, so he opened the car door, took out a luxury brand bag from Bottega Veneta and said:

"Xiaomei, I bought you a bag. You've helped me so much recently, and I owe you such a big favor. I have no way to repay you. I hope you don't think the gift is too small."

Fan Shengmei looked at the brand-name bag in Wang Baichuan's hand and felt particularly happy. She smiled and said, "What are you doing? You're... really too kind. This won't happen again!"

After saying that, she accepted the bag. After all, all her bags were high-end imitations, and she couldn't bear to spend money to not have such an authentic bag.

"This bag suits you very well. Take it. Don't be polite to me. Otherwise, how can I bother you again in the future?"

Wang Baichuan saw Fan Shengmei's love and her vanity, but he did not expose her. He smiled and persuaded her to accept it and asked her to be polite. In this way, the two talked for a few more words before saying goodbye.

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

More than ten minutes later, Fan Shengmei, who entered room 2202, ran back to the room immediately and admired the bag for a long time.

During this time, she suddenly remembered something and quickly took out her mobile phone to search for Wang Baichuan's name, because she felt that Wang Baichuan must have achieved some success and fame since he spent 20,000 yuan on a bag.

But what she didn't expect was that she couldn't find any relevant information about him on the Internet. She felt lost at that moment, because her criteria for choosing a partner was not just about being rich, but also about having a certain social reputation.

So in her concept, only well-known people would appear in the search interface she envisioned.

After all, due to her family reasons, Fan Shengmei longs to cross the class barrier. This may sound a bit realistic and vulgar, but she feels that only this kind of person can support her family.

But now Fan Shengmei was in confusion. She thought she was a very good backup, but she couldn't find any information about him. She had also searched for Han Tao. There was a lot of information on the Internet, and the introduction was also very dazzling. Although she knew that this was only one-sided, it represented different things.

………………

Chapter 322 Reconciliation

Just when Fan Shengmei was feeling lost and dazed, Qiu Yingying, who had been neglected for a while, realized that Fan Shengmei had returned and went to find her with a feeling of grievance.

Because Qiu Yingying has noticed that the other people on the 22nd floor have been treating her strangely in the past few days, she came to humbly seek advice from Fan Shengmei.

Seeing her pitiful appearance, Fan Shengmei regained her composure and explained to her frankly:

"Little earthworm, if one person ignores you, it might be that person's problem, but if everyone ignores you, you should consider whether it's your own problem.

Guan Guan reminded you about Manager Bai's matter, and I also helped to persuade you. I even went to jail for you. If it weren't for Han Tao, I might have been locked up for a few more days.

As for Xiao Qu, what she did was indeed wrong and somewhat inconsiderate of other people's feelings, but her starting point was good, and Han Tao has been supervising her just to help you.

And Andy, she just reminded you kindly, but instead of appreciating it, you had a big quarrel with her and even talked about breaking up the friendship. How childish.

Guan Guan only said a few words to help, and you forced her to choose between you and Andy. This is too embarrassing. You can't always think from your own perspective."

As she spoke, Fan Shengmei saw that Qiu Yingying's eyes were already filled with tears, and her heart softened. She continued gently:

"You have to know that even if you are in a bad mood, you have to learn to control yourself. I have a lot of unhappy things too. I have never lost my temper with you or Guan Guan, right?

So you can't always be willful and hurt the people who care about you. Even though you have broken up and lost your job, everyone sympathizes with you and feels sorry for you, but this is not a reason for you to hurt everyone.

These days, it's better to mind your own business. If they don't really care about you, who would care about your life or death? Besides, if you're in a bad mood, others have no obligation to share your sadness. After all, making a living in this city is not easy for anyone!

"Sister Fan, what should I do?"

Qiu Yingying felt a little ashamed of what Fan Shengmei said. She didn't expect that she would be so excessive.

Seeing that Qiu Yingying had come to her senses and was willing to listen to advice, Fan Shengmei smiled happily, and then patiently gave her advice, told her what to do, and told her to apologize to everyone.

…………

At the same time, Guan Juer, who worked overtime until late at night, got off work with her colleagues. Her colleagues were picked up by their boyfriends. Guan Juer walked alone on the street, recalling the last time she worked overtime until late at night and Han Tao specially picked her up.

She felt so happy for a moment, but when she thought about not seeing Han Tao for more than ten days because he was on a business trip, she suddenly felt lonely. At this time, Guan Juer took out her mobile phone and looked at it. It turned out that it was her mother calling.

"Hey, Mom, I just got off work and am getting ready to go home!"

When Guan's mother heard her daughter was working overtime so late again, she said distressedly: "What time is it? Today is Friday, why are you working overtime so late again?"

Hearing this, Guan Juer said aggrievedly: "That's right, it's simply inhumane."

"Why does your company always have to work overtime, and so late? How can this be allowed?"

Guan Juer's mother complained for a few words, then thought of something and continued:

"Guan Guan, Mom checked out the boy who picked you up last time. He's really outstanding, both in terms of family background and academics. You should seize the opportunity. Oh, by the way, he didn't pick you up today."

Hearing her mother mention Han Tao, Guan Juer said somewhat frustratedly: "Brother Han is too busy. He has been on a business trip to Handong for more than ten days, so he didn't even know that I was working overtime.

Besides, we really don't have the kind of relationship you think, so don't worry about it. I'm also embarrassed to bother him all the time."

"Guan Guan, you're just not smart. Let me take a look at you when I get over there in a few days.

But listen to your mother today and don't take the subway. Take a taxi home. We don't need that little money. Go home, take a shower and go to bed. It's the weekend tomorrow, so relax."

Hearing this, Guan Juer sighed and said, "But I still have to go to work tomorrow!"

"Why are you working overtime on the weekend? Well, I won't bother you anymore. I won't waste your time. Go home early to rest. When you get home, call your mother and take care of yourself."

After hanging up the phone, Guan's mother started nagging Guan's father. She believed that her daughter suffered so much because her husband forced her to go to Shanghai to work hard.

Guan Juer's father said the same old thing, thinking that his daughter had always been pampered and needed to go through some hardships in order to grow better.

Of course, Guan's mother knew that her husband was right, but she only had this one daughter, and she felt really sorry for her and couldn't bear to see her suffer.

But in addition to this, Guan's mother was also very worried about her daughter's lifelong event. She decided to go to Shanghai as soon as possible to take care of this matter for her daughter.

Guan Juer also obediently took a taxi back home. Qiu Yingying, who had figured it out, was waiting in the living room.

When she saw Guan Juer enter the room, Qiu Yingying apologized to her immediately. Guan Juer of course would not hold a grudge against her, and the two little girls reconciled.

Seeing that 2202's emotional crisis was resolved, Fan Shengmei finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, the three girls with different personalities and ages hugged each other like sisters, and the previous misunderstandings and cold wars disappeared.

A few people feel very happy to meet each other in the vast crowd, in such a huge Magic City, in the densely populated Ode to Joy. What a great fate it is, to have someone to share the joy and someone to share the sorrow, how rare it is.

………………

The next morning, Qiu Yingying got up early and stood guard at the door of 2201. When she saw Andy getting ready to go out for a run, she immediately went to meet him.

When Andy saw Qiu Yingying in front of her door, she thought that Qiu Yingying was going to quarrel with her again, so she prepared to close the door and decided not to go out for a run. She was really afraid of Qiu Yingying's irrationality, so she chose not to let the fool judge her for long.

Seeing her like this, Qiu Yingying hurriedly said to Andy: "Andy, please wait a minute. I'm here to apologize to you. I'm sorry!"

Hearing this, Andy looked at Qiu Yingying in confusion and asked, "Apologize, why?"

"I was angry with you about the self-help books. I thought you looked down on me. Although I don't know what's wrong with those books yet, Sister Fan said I was wrong, so I was wrong. I hope you can accept my apology!"

As she spoke, Qiu Yingying grabbed Andy's hand, hoping that they could shake hands and make peace, but Andy subconsciously avoided Qiu Yingying.

But she quickly realized that she didn't seem to be as disgusted as when she came into contact with Wei Wei. Although she still rejected skin contact, at least her psychological reaction was not that big.
