Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

"Let me be clear, I really don't trade stocks, otherwise I'd find a high-ranking official to jump down. I was just annoyed by my friends' questions, so I thought I'd ask them along. Don't get me wrong!"

"I hope uncle can keep his word. I can help you once, but I will never do it to you a second time.

Let me be frank with you. I'm helping out this time out of consideration for Suosuo and Nansun, and I'm also worried that grandma is too old to withstand this kind of hardship.

Although I won't press you like a debt company and I don't want to embarrass you, you should also consider how to repay the over 30 million yuan."

After saying that, Han Tao and Jiang Nansun looked at each other, turned around and left the Jiang family without looking back.

"Dad, you have to remember what you promised me. You are the head of this family and the only man in this family. Don't think about throwing the mess to me, don't think about throwing it to mom or grandma.

Also, I don't want you to mention Han Tao's affairs to anyone else. It's true that he made a lot of money in the stock market, but that's his private matter. Besides, he hasn't told you or me the specific figures, so you can't just talk nonsense based on other people's opinions!"

Hearing his daughter's tone was wrong and her face was very serious, Jiang Pengfei quickly assured:

"Nan Sun, I didn't tell anyone how much money Xiao Han made! I just said he was very far-sighted. Not only did the stocks he recommended rise the most at the time, but he also made the right decision to exit at the peak of his career.

I was only praising him, and I wasn't saying anything nonsense. I just assumed, based on his conversation, that he must have made hundreds of millions. Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent 100 million to buy our house without hesitation."

As he was talking, he got off track again. Seeing his daughter's face getting uglier and uglier, Jiang Pengfei quickly changed the subject: "Of course, I won't do it again in the future. Dad knows he was wrong.

But you, tell me the truth, what do you really think of Han Tao? He is helping our family so much, definitely not just because of Suosuo. Is there really no possibility for you two?"

Hearing this, Jiang Nansun responded seriously, "Dad, there's no need to change the subject. I've already said that Han Tao and I are just friends. The reason he was able to help our family was really because of Suosuo, so our family should thank Suosuo."

Also, don’t talk about this issue anymore. I can handle my own affairs, so you don’t need to worry about me.

And don't try to attract Han Tao's attention. In this day and age, even if it's a few million, let alone tens of millions, there will be plenty of young and beautiful girls rushing up to him. Don't take us too seriously. He doesn't owe us anything!"

"Okay, I won't say anymore. It was Zhang Anren before, and now it's because of Han Tao who's arguing with me."

Jiang Pengfei curled his lips, turned around and went upstairs, while continuing to underestimate: "You are just being stubborn, no one knows a daughter better than her father. I see that the way you look at Han Tao now is different from when you looked at Zhang Anren.

Don't think I can't see it, your dad lost money in the stock market, but it's not like he went crazy from trading stocks, right?"

"You should focus on yourself. Hurry up and sort out the list and notify the creditors about repayment. Han Tao helped me make an appointment with the bank. If you want to transfer such a large sum of money after these few days, it will be difficult. You better hurry up!"

"Okay, I'll get it done by this afternoon at the latest. I also want to pay the money back quickly. The sooner I pay it back, the easier it will be to feel at ease!"

After saying that, Jiang Pengfei turned around and went upstairs to his room.

Looking at her father's back and thinking of Han Tao's words, Jiang Nansun sighed and felt that growing up was so tiring. She had to abide by many rules since she was a child, and she never went against her parents' wishes and worked hard to be excellent.

Therefore, from childhood to adulthood, the happiest time for her was when she was with Suosuo. It was precisely because of this that she did not behave in a rebellious manner even during adolescence and was able to enter university smoothly.

It can be said that she is definitely one of the "other people's children". She is sensible and well-behaved, and has excellent grades.

However, all this changed after she met Zhang Anren, especially after she chose to live on campus and came into contact with people and things she had never encountered before.

She had never suffered from financial hardship, so when it came to love, she never paid attention to financial conditions. What she cared about was whether the man was responsible and had the ability to work hard, which was something she didn't see in her father who had been idle for most of his life.

It was for this reason that when it came to finding a lover, she was attracted by Zhang Anren, who had established himself in Shanghai through his own hard work.

From then on, she began to resist her father's arrangements for her. She wanted to marry Zhang Anren, but her father disagreed and introduced her to someone else. She poured boiling water on a violin worth 200,000 yuan, cut her hair, and threw away her branded clothes in protest.

Until my father failed in stock trading, the Jiang family lost everything overnight. The family was blocked at home by debt collectors and almost had to move out of the villa.

She, the former Princess Jiang, immediately became Cinderella, especially Zhang Anren's performance, which gave her new feelings and understanding of things that she had previously sneered at.

This was the person that she had repeatedly opposed her best friend Zhu Suosuo from finding, and it was he who pulled her family out of the fire.

It was this incident that made her realize the truth, and Han Tao's words in the car were like enlightenment, which made her grow instantly. However, this growth came a little late, making her fall into the dilemma of making a choice.

Chapter 344 Dongli Opening

Dongli is launched, which is one of the major projects of Jingyan Group this year, so all the sales staff and managers of the sales department are standing here waiting, hoping that the old customers they have contacted or the customers who have the need to buy a house will come to view the house.

After all, everyone's clients have encountered the problem of insufficient funds, especially as the stock market has been falling continuously recently. Large investors have to tighten their belts, and coupled with the tightening of bank loans, the entire real estate market has been hit by a cold snap.

Zhu Suosuo stood beside the sand table, looking at Tony who was bending over to tidy up the sand table with a helpless expression, and couldn't help asking:

"No way, even you don't have any direction?"

Tony shook his head, frowned slightly, and straightened up, saying, "High-end properties like ours aren't meant for first-time buyers. Now that the stock market has fallen, it's getting tough. If it continues like this, we'll be in trouble too!"

So it's not just me, Zhou Qing and April are the same. They used to be famous for making enough money for a whole year in just half an hour of opening the market."

Zhou Jing and April heard the two talking about themselves and walked over hand in hand. April said with a smile, "Let's make a bet to see who opens first today!"

Hearing this, Tony jokingly said, "Don't join in the fun. We will still rely on you to take care of us in the future. Please give us more green lights when we need to sign agreements and contracts.

Speaking of which, it was April who was courageous enough to give up the sales department where he had worked for many years and become Mr. Han's administrative secretary. From now on, you don't have to worry about sales matters.

I heard from a colleague who I'm close to that the Legal Department isn't a shabby place anymore. They've received two bonuses since Chairman Han took over as CLO. While they don't make as much as the Sales Department, they can still get in touch with the top management, which means more opportunities in the future."

Zhou Jing also laughed and said, "Exactly. You beat me to the punch when I hesitated. Irene even said that if she had known about this good thing, she wouldn't have left in such a hurry!"

"Come on, Ailin was promoted to deputy manager after being transferred to another place. She was sent by the headquarters. If she can gain a firm foothold, it will be a piece of cake for her to be promoted to manager.

And you, Tony, Manager Yang… no, Vice President Yang, the group has officially announced it today. He submitted your recommendation letters on his first day of promotion. Unless the group is planning a major shakeup, your deputy manager is also going to be in the job. So stop giving me the cold shoulder."

Hearing the jokes of several people, Zhu Suosuo couldn't help but teased: "Ai Boer, you are taking advantage of me. Mr. Han is the boss of the Legal Department. You, an administrative secretary, are no different from an imperial envoy. You should meet the people at the same level as the emperor!

If you don't want to do it, then give it to me. I'd love to do it. I heard the legal department has been busy with a big case lately. If we beat our rival company, the bonus will be no less than our sales."

"Just sit here and watch me laugh. If you wanted to go, would it be my turn? Besides, Secretary Fan asked you to talk alone yesterday. Don't tell me it was just a small talk. If it weren't for President Ye's instructions, the CEO's secretary wouldn't have the time for that!"

Before Zhu Suosuo could respond, a person walked into the hall. It was the person they had just discussed.

"Hello, Mr. Han!"

When April, Zhou Jing and others saw him coming, they greeted him in unison.

Han Tao smiled and said, "Don't be polite, and don't be restrained. Just go about your business. I'm here in a private capacity today, so Suosuo will be the one to receive me!"

Hearing Han Tao's words, Zhu Suosuo greeted him with a smile and asked in a low voice: "Brother Han, you are here. Is everything settled for Nansun?"

"Well, don't worry about Nansun. Go talk to Aunt Yang on the second floor of their house. If you can't handle it, ask your colleagues to help. Once the contract is signed, the matter will be completely resolved."

As he spoke, Han Tao walked towards the sand table and took a quick look. He had already taken a tour of the community as a whole. Whether it was the greening construction or the design, it was indeed top-notch.

Zhu Suosuo already knew the details from Nansun, so she nodded and said, "I really can't handle Aunt Yang. Manager Yang will be here soon, so it's just right to ask him for help. I heard from April and the others that there is no client that Manager Yang can't handle!"

"That's good. If it's resolved sooner, both you and Nansun and the others will be able to rest assured."

Han Tao smiled slightly, then took Zhu Suosuo to the reception desk. He had already explained this before, so the legal affairs officer hurriedly handed him the contract.

"Okay, Building 12, 16C, you can rest assured this time, you're the first one to open!"

Han Tao signed without even looking at it. Actually, he was just here for the formality. The contracts were all standard and there was really nothing to read. Besides, it was his own business. After all, he had already paid the house payment before signing the contract.

Hearing this, Zhu Suosuo looked at the other colleagues and said in a low voice with some embarrassment: "Thank you, Brother Han. After get off work, let's open a bottle of good wine and call Nansun to celebrate. I have a gift for you!"

After saying that, she winked at Han Tao. She promised to give Han Tao a surprise today, but it was inconvenient to express too much during working hours.

At this time, Yang Ke came down from the elevator with a few sales staff. Seeing Han Tao and Zhu Suosuo, he hurried forward and extended his hand to greet them: "Mr. Han, you are here!"

Han Tao shook his hand and jokingly said, "Boss Yang, I've fired the first shot for you. Now it's up to the elites in your sales department!"

"Thank you, Mr. Han, for your support. The stock market has been so influential that no one's here all morning. Today is the first day of trading. If it weren't for you, the sales department wouldn't be doing well!"

Yang Ke knew the details before, but Han Tao's arrival first, in addition to his support for Suosuo, really helped the sales department get off to a good start. After all, it was a good start. If it had waited until the afternoon, it would have been a shame.

Han Tao shook his head. "We're all family, so I won't say anything polite. By the way, I heard that Mr. Ye brought some friends over, but why aren't they here?"

"Boss Ye is accompanying me to look at the neighborhood environment. He should be back soon. Please sit over there for a while!"

"Okay, I'll wait a while. Since we're here, we have to meet each other!"

Han Tao, accompanied by Yang Ke and a salesperson, walked towards the reception area. He was very familiar with this plot. Today was the day Yang Ke was promoted to vice president, and it was also the first day of the sales department's opening. Ye Jinyan had specially invited friends to come and show his support.

Sure enough, before Han Tao and Yang Ke had chatted for a few words, Ye Jinyan brought his friends to the sales office. The two of them were talking and laughing, which surprised everyone in the sales department. Usually, the big boss was serious, and they had never seen this side of Ye Jinyan.

"I heard from Lao Liu and the others that your business is booming now. It's not easy to stay strong in this situation."

"That's right, that's right. It's just a so-so thing. Let's work together to overcome the difficulties!"

As they were talking, the group had already reached the rest area. Seeing Han Tao standing up in the rest area, Ye Jinyan smiled and greeted him, then introduced him to his friend Mr. Chen:

"Let me introduce you. This is Han Tao, our company's director and chief legal officer. He's here today to support the sales department."

"Lawyer Han, I've heard of you for a long time. You're the man that Old Ye invited back to help me, and today I finally get to meet you in person.

At a previous gathering, I heard Mr. Tan Zongming and several old friends mention you. You are really promising at a young age. If we become neighbors in the future, we should visit each other more often.

"Mr. Chen, you're too polite. It's just a compliment from friends. It's not worth mentioning. But your name is well-known. I've always wanted to meet you but never got the chance. I also want to thank Mr. Ye for giving me this opportunity!"

"Modest, Lawyer Han is too modest. I just don't have Old Ye's good vision. There are too few people who can handle things on their own. I'm just busy all day!"

"Let's sit down and talk. Since we get along so well and you all came to support me, Ye Jinyan, I'll treat us all to a get-together later."

Seeing that the two people were chatting quite happily, Ye Jinyan smiled and stretched out his hand to guide everyone to sit down, then gestured to Fan Jingang behind him. The latter waved his hand in understanding, and several sales staff hurriedly poured tea over.

Chapter 345 Xie Hongzu’s Grievances

After some pleasantries, Han Tao and Mr. Chen ended the topic and looked at Ye Jinyan together. Mr. Chen even talked directly about the topic of today. After all, they were here to see the house, so he couldn't take the spotlight.

After hearing what he said, Ye Jinyan smiled and asked, "Okay, let's talk business first and talk later. You just saw our Dongli house. How is it? Is it okay?"

"It's not the first day we've known each other. How could your house, Ye Jian's, be any worse?"

Mr. Chen made a joke, then unbuttoned his suit, leaned back on the sofa, and continued, "But after looking around, I think the first one on the twelfth floor, the 420-square-meter one, is better, because I want to live in this house by myself."

Hearing what Mr. Chen said, Ye Jinyan turned to Yang Ke and said, "Mr. Yang, let them remember this!"

"Okay!" Yang Ke nodded and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen really has a sharp eye, this apartment is the best one we have here.

Its unique feature is that it has a main entrance that divides the apartment into two households, which is very rare in other real estate projects."

Ye Jinyan saw Mr. Chen looking at Yang Ke, and then he suddenly realized and said, "I almost forgot, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Yang from our company, in charge of the sales department!"

As he spoke, Ye Jinyan stood up and personally pulled a chair for Yang Ke to show his respect for his subordinates.

"Thank you, Mr. Ye, I can do it myself,"

Seeing this, Yang Ke quickly took it himself and sat next to Ye Jinyan.

Mr. Chen is an old friend of Ye Jinyan. Seeing his performance, he said politely: "Mr. Yang, thank you for your hard work!"

Hearing what Mr. Chen said, Yang Ke responded with a reserved smile: "Mr. Chen, you are too polite. It's my duty!"

Since the purpose of today is to buy a house and show support to a friend, Mr. Chen did not hesitate and directly decided:

"Let's go with the 12C set. My wife and I live separately, so it's convenient for us to live in peace and save me from having to make three plywood."

When Zhu Suosuo heard that Mr. Chen chose this house, she immediately pulled Yang Ke's arm. She had said that this house had already been sold to Xie Hongzu.

So when she heard that Mr. Chen wanted to buy 12C, she thought of asking Yang Ke to help her, but Yang Ke, who was so worldly-wise, ignored Zhu Suosuo's reminder.

This made her a little anxious, and she looked at Han Tao again, but before she could express herself, Ye Jinyan had already spoken: "Old Chen, aren't you going to take a look?"

"No, I won't. Old Ye asked me to come and see the house, so why wouldn't I take one? Besides, I can be neighbors with Lawyer Han, so there's no reason to refuse."

Mr. Chen and Ye Jinyan have been friends for many years. They are in different business fields and have no competitive relationship, so they have a good relationship.

Moreover, the two of them knew each other. Han Tao helped Ye Jinyan to keep the Kyoto branch as soon as he took office, and also avoided a crisis, so he also planned to get to know him.

These entrepreneurs believe that professionals should do professional things. In recent years, large domestic companies have been strengthening their legal departments or deepening their cooperation with major law firms in order to avoid risks in advance.

However, he has other plans today and doesn't have enough time, so we can only wait until next time to arrange a time to meet, otherwise we won't be able to talk in depth in a hurry.

Thinking of this, Mr. Chen looked at the time and said, "That's it. I have something else to do this afternoon, so I'll leave first. I'll have the lawyer come to sign the contract this afternoon."

"Okay, you're such a busy guy, we can only make another time to get together!"

Ye Jinyan nodded and stood up to see him off.

Seeing Han Tao following him, Mr. Chen quickly raised his hand and said, "Lawyer Han, please stay. We'll be neighbors from now on. Let's not be polite. Old Ye will make arrangements later, and we can have a good chat. I'll be leaving you today!"

"No problem, I'll be waiting for a call from Mr. Chen and Mr. Ye anytime. Besides, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor, so let's keep in touch!"

"Yes, Lawyer Han said it well, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor, so we should visit each other more often!"

After saying that, Mr. Chen shook hands with Han Tao and walked out.

After Han Tao and Ye Jinyan sent him out together, Zhu Suosuo pulled Yang Ke and said, "Manager Yang, I promised Xie Hongzu to keep this house for him. How can I explain it to him now?"

"How would I know what to do? He hasn't signed a contract, and he hasn't paid a deposit. How can I keep him?"

Yang Ke was also a little helpless. Xie Hongzu was the first client he gave to Zhu Suosuo. Now that such a big misunderstanding had happened, he was also very embarrassed.
