Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

Guan Juer also saw the news, but since the matter was resolved, she no longer paid attention to anything else. Her eyes were full of Han Tao, and she was secretly wondering whether she should be more proactive.

Qiu Yingying, on the other hand, didn't have any special feelings. She just felt that the matter was resolved and was simply happy for Andy.

What's more, she was a little overwhelmed by the affairs of the coffee shop. After all, it was a new environment and a new industry, and she had to learn everything from scratch.

Chapter 376: Qu Xiaoxiao's frustration after taking action

At the same time, Yao Bin had already found out where Aguannan was and quickly told Qu Xiaoxiao. Then they all went straight to the restaurant where Aguannan was having a party with her bestie.

When they reached the restaurant door, Lan Lan and the others walked in while chatting: "Xiao Xiao, you must hurry up and ask Brother Tao out. The sisters haven't seen him for so long. Can you please stop hiding anything good?"

"Hey, what do you want, you little vixen?"

Qu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at Lan Lan, then said unhappily, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Don't blame me for not reminding you. Brother Han doesn't like people like you. Don't have any unreasonable expectations!"

Seeing Qu Xiaoxiao say this, Kong Kong couldn't help but tease her, "Xiaoxiao, guarding your food isn't a good habit. You weren't so stingy before, why did you suddenly change? Are you really in love?"

Qu Xiaoxiao's other best friend, Xiao Qi, also joined in the fun, saying, "That's right, there's no such thing as a serious man. We sisters are all beautiful women, and I don't believe he wouldn't be tempted even if we were to pursue him.

When a girl pursues a boy, it's easy to win him over. Good sisters share happiness. Ever since meeting Brother Tao, Lanlan and Kongkong have been talking about it every day, saying, "You can't put love before friendship!"

"Get lost! There are so many of you. How can I not protect you? I don't even know who you are. Don't let that happen and eat Brother Han alive!"

Qu Xiaoxiao made a joke, but before anyone else could respond, Yao Bin interrupted them, saying, "Stop being so infatuated. Did you see that? That's Guan Nan."

After that, they winked at each other and prepared to start the performance. At this time, A Guannan was happily chatting with a few girlfriends, and the topic was exactly about Andy. The three of them knew that Andy was badly scolded by netizens, and they all proudly talked about how great they were.

However, they didn't notice at all that at the table next to them, two men and one woman were watching them. Seeing that A Guannan was still talking, one of the men slowly moved the camera forward.

However, when the topic was coming to an end and several people were raising their glasses to celebrate, Qu Xiaoxiao and others were already noisily passing by Aguannan's table.

Sure enough, this A Guannan likes to play with Yao Bin and his gang the most, and she immediately stuck to Qu Xiaoxiao when she saw her.

After a brief communication, A Guannan was also invited by Qu Xiaoxiao to go to the terrace room on the second floor. It was for VIPs only, and A Guannan and her friends could not go there normally.

After everyone sat down, Qu Xiaoxiao began her performance: "Oh, that big rural area in America is so boring. China is more interesting. Where should we go to play tonight?"

Lan Lan took a sip of the champagne in her glass and replied with a smile, "Why don't you call Brother Tao over and let's go drink with Yao Bin and Xiao Fei."

"Going to the bar again? Can we go somewhere else? Brother Tao might not like that kind of environment!"

Hearing this, Xiao Qi teased, "Be reserved, you're drooling when you mention Brother Tao."

Yao Bin also laughed and said, "Exactly. You don't even want to go to the bar. Boss Han's charm is unparalleled!"

Hearing this, Kong Kong couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "Go away, stop making trouble. Aren't we supposed to talk about business?

Billions of dollars have been invested. Do you think it's appropriate to talk about your recordings in a bar? Besides, I've turned over a new leaf. I don't drink anymore!"

Qu Xiaoxiao warned, "I've already told you guys not to have any ideas, or we'll be at loggerheads."

"Okay, okay, I won't fight with you. Look how stingy you are!"

Xiao Qi teased, then began to change the subject: "Stop teasing Xiao Xiao, let's talk about something else. Have you heard about the recent incidents with female executives online?"

Lan Lan took over the conversation: "It's that female executive who graduated from a prestigious university and was someone else's mistress, her name seems to be Andy.

How could a Chinese person have a foreign name? She came all the way back to China just to steal someone else's boyfriend. I don't know what she's trying to do.

Qu Xiaoxiao continued, "What else could she be after? It's all for money. I've seen a lot of women like this, and they deserve to be dealt with. I don't know who paid for it, I really want to give her a thumbs up!"

"Exactly, she's truly a heroine, worthy of being called my real girlfriend!"

As soon as Lan Lan finished speaking, A Guannan and her bestie, who had been left out, looked towards Qu Xiaoxiao and Yao Bin. Upon hearing this topic, one of A Guannan's bestie boasted:

"I know who is responsible for this matter, and they are both far away and close at hand."

Then she pointed at A Guannan, who proudly admitted, "Yes, it's me!"

"Why is it Guan?"

Qu Xiaoxiao looked at them pretending to be clueless and said exaggeratedly, "Don't be ridiculous. It's not like I don't know her. How dare she do such a thing when she's as timid as a rabbit?"

Seeing that Aguannan and the others had fallen for the trap, Lanlan also added fuel to the fire, "That's right, seeing how timid you are, you're lucky enough not to be tricked by others, but you still want to mess with others?"

Seeing that she was being looked down upon, A Guannan argued eagerly: "I tell you, I did it.

I hired a hacker to dig out Andy's information, and then Baobao, Yanyan and others registered accounts to post, and later hired internet trolls to help forward the information.

You don't know, those losers on the Internet are all jealous of the rich. When they encounter such a thing, they like to rush forward. One person's spit can drown her.

Isn't Andy a graduate of a prestigious university? Isn't she amazing? She charms people all the time, so she's not going to show off this time, is she?

While Aguannan and her three best friends were chatting incessantly, Yao Bin was secretly recording the video. Their plan was to guide Aguannan and record everything she said, so that the video footage would be irrefutable evidence.

A Guannan had no idea that she was nothing in the eyes of this group of playboys, and no one looked down on them. If they were not in the same circle, they should not force themselves to join, otherwise they would be confused.

However, just when Qu Xiaoxiao was planning to use this handle to make Aguannan repent herself and deal with online public opinion, two men and one woman accompanied by two policemen knocked on the door and walked into the private room.

Because the last round of evidence collection was completed and the chain of evidence was conclusive, the police came directly to the door and asked A Guannan and the girlfriends who were involved to return to the bureau to assist in the investigation.

Originally, Qu Xiaoxiao was not very happy to see someone picking peaches, but after Wendy came forward to talk to her, she understood the reason.

In the end, Qu Xiaoxiao not only didn't say anything, but also gave Wendy a copy of the evidence that she had just asked Yao Bin to record.

At this time, A Guannan was still confused. She didn't expect that she just wanted Andy to leave Wei Wei, so how could things develop to the point where she would be caught?

Her three best friends were even more aggrieved. They were only helping out of friendship, but who would have thought that they would be sued without even realizing it.

After several people realized that they were about to be taken away by the police, A Guannan quickly grabbed Qu Xiaoxiao and said, "Xiaoxiao, please save me for the sake of our friendship. Please help me notify my father and ask him to find someone to pick me up!"

Before Qu Xiaoxiao could respond, the police officer couldn't help but interrupt, "Ma'am, no matter who you're looking for or what your relationship is, we will enforce the law impartially. Now that we have irrefutable evidence, follow us!"

After saying that, he took Aguannan and her best friend downstairs, got into the police car, and headed straight to the Public Security Bureau.

Seeing the police taking the people away, Wendy and others also left. Qu Xiaoxiao and her friends looked at each other. Lan Lan hesitated and said:

"Xiao Xiao, what's going on? Who was that woman just now? Did we work for nothing?"

Qu Xiaoxiao was also a little aggrieved, but she still explained: "The woman just now is called Wendy. She is Brother Han's administrative secretary at the law firm. She is the one who handles the procedures for my company."

"I told you we shouldn't worry about it! But I didn't expect that we would actually alarm Tan Zongming and Boss Han. Is it really that serious for such a small matter?"

As he spoke, Yao Bin looked at Qu Xiaoxiao and touched her with his shoulder: "Xiaoxiao, what should we do now?"

"What can I do? As long as Andy accepts my favor, that's enough. After all, we have contributed, and Brother Han also knows about it, so isn't that enough?"

"That's right, but it feels a bit awkward, like a punch hitting cotton. This is even more uncomfortable than having your monster stolen by someone else. Should we talk to Boss Han about it?"

"Exactly. It's like I took off my pants and he was playing the Rule of Law Online. It's so f*cking uncomfortable!"

"How about Xiaoxiao, you send a video chat to Brother Tao? We've spent so much time on this, we should ask for credit and reward!"

Chapter 377 Qu Xiaoxiao Seeking Credit

Wei Wei already knew how the situation was developing. When he saw that the matter had become a big deal, and Shengxuan Group had held a press conference and taken legal action to resolve it, he knew that the situation was out of control.

He had originally thought that this rumor was a good thing; at least it established his relationship with Andy. When the time was right, he could directly announce that they were a couple and completely refute the rumor.

Of course, under normal circumstances, this is also the best and fastest way to suppress public opinion. In this way, he can help Andy and gain love at the same time. For Wei Wei, it can be said to be killing two birds with one stone.

So, after getting off the plane, Wei Wei immediately called Andy. At that time, Andy was preparing the afternoon report. When he saw that the caller was Wei Wei, he thought about it and decided to answer the call.

"Hey Singularity, what's up?"

Seeing Andy acting as if nothing had happened, Wei Wei said anxiously, "I'm sorry, Andy, do you have time? I want to meet with you and talk about something."

Andy responded while sorting through the documents: "I don't have time right now. The company has a lot of things to do, and there's a very important report!"

Wei Wei hurriedly said, "Please postpone the company's affairs for now. I just came back from abroad and won't be delayed for long. We need to communicate about some things that are not in your favor."

"Are you talking about what happened online? You didn't do it, so you don't have to apologize."

As he spoke, Andy took all the documents in his hand and prepared to go to the conference room.

After hearing her answer, Wei Wei continued to apologize: "I'm sorry Andy, I will take care of this matter immediately. After all, it's my fault that you've been in trouble!"

Andy shook his head: "No, I don't care. Besides, Lao Tan and Han Tao are already dealing with it. They can handle it!"

Hearing Andy's tone, Wei Wei argued, "No, no, no, Andy, I must apologize to you. I have no choice. You must give me a chance to explain. I will wait for you downstairs of your house. Goodbye!"

"Hello, hello, Singularity?"

Seeing that the other party hung up the phone, Andy did not call back. He just put the phone on the table and called his secretary and assistant to walk out of the office together.

Soon, Guan Youmin, A Guannan's father, also contacted Wei Wei. He hoped that Wei Wei could help him make an appointment with Andy, saying that he would come to apologize in person and ask Andy to forgive his daughter.

Of course, he contacted Tan Zongming as soon as he got the news, but Tan Zongming refused to see him. The people who came out to receive him were either the front desk or the legal department. Guan Youmin had to find a mediator while contacting Wei Wei.

Wei Wei had to agree to give it a try because of the relationship between the two parties and the fact that they had been partners for many years, and because this matter was caused by him.

…………

At the same time, Han Tao, who was about to go to the conference room from the legal department of Shengxuan Group, received a video call from Qu Xiaoxiao.

Because Wendy had just called, Han Tao looked at his watch and saw that there were still ten minutes left. He asked his assistant to tell Lao Tan that he would be there later, and then he pressed the answer button.

"Brother Han, I know you're Shengxuan's legal advisor. I went to great lengths to help you get the evidence for Andy's case. I've already given it to your secretary. Don't forget this favor!"

Hearing Qu Xiaoxiao's advance, and looking at the group of friends behind her, Han Tao smiled and said, "Good job, Xiaoxiao, you've learned this blackmailing trick pretty quickly!"

Hearing this, Qu Xiaoxiao directly retorted, "Brother Han, it's wrong to wrongly accuse someone. How can I be considered blackmailing someone? Although your people have already laid the groundwork, I have already helped Andy obtain evidence. You can't deny this, right?

Besides, I was planning to take action, and your people came over and picked the peaches without even saying hello. Shouldn't you compensate me?"

Looking at the quirky and unreasonable Qu Xiaoxiao, Han Tao teased her, "Even if you got the evidence first, Andy should be the one who owes you the favor, so you should go to her. Why are you asking me for compensation?"

"Brother Han, that's not right. You are the legal advisor of Shengxuan Group. No matter how this matter turns out, it will be your team that will handle it, right?

Since it's your job, I helped provide the most advantageous and clearest video footage. If not you, who else should I turn to? "

As she spoke, Qu Xiaoxiao turned the camera to the people behind her, and then continued, "Besides, we're all just trying to help you. You can't let us do nothing for you. At least give us some comfort!"

"That's right, Brother Tao is too partial!"

"He took us out to play before, but now he doesn't even appreciate our help. It's so sad!"

After Qu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, Yao Bin, Lan Lan and others also started to make a fuss. Kong Kong and Xiao Qi kept saying that Han Tao was partial and took Yao Bin and the others to make money without thinking about them.

Seeing this, Han Tao smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, regardless of anything else, I must accept your kindness, and I will remember this favor.

As for the matter of making money, Xiaoqi, you are wronging me. What happened before was indeed not suitable for you guys, Lanlan and Kongkong, to participate.

But if you want to make a little money to practice, I still have an opportunity. I'll give you some information later, but don't invest too much."

After hearing Han Tao's words, several people crowded together, staring at their phone screens and asking questions. Finally, someone asked on behalf of the group:

"Brother Tao, roughly how much did you invest, and what's the return? Yao Bin and the others have all received praise from their families, you can't favor one over the other!"

"Of course not. Although I can't earn as much as Yao Bin and the others, it's still no problem to get a few tens of millions for pocket money. Especially Lanlan and you are not allowed to be reckless. Under the current situation, just have fun!"

"I understand, Brother Tao, but don't wait until later. Why don't you tell me now? I just happen to have..."

"Kong Kong, this isn't the time to talk about this. Let's go back to Brother Han and talk about it!"

Before Kong Kong could finish, Qu Xiaoxiao interrupted her question, snatched the phone back and said:

"Brother Han, I'm curious about something. What's going on between that rumored male protagonist, Wei Wei, and Andy? Why hasn't he shown up yet? Is there really something going on?"

Knowing that Qu Xiaoxiao was most interested in this kind of gossip, Han Tao said, "You know Andy met an online friend before? That person is the male protagonist of the scandal, Wei Wei.

But he and Andy were just ordinary friends, or more precisely, online friends. If I'm not mistaken, he showed up right away."

Qu Xiaoxiao despised this kind of men the most, so she said with disdain: "Isn't it a bit late to show up now?

Isn't it obvious that they don't want to take the risk of public opinion, but also want to avoid the impression of shirking responsibility?

Andy is cold, but not stupid. Could it be that she can't see that with her IQ? But I have to say, this man is too calculating. I'll go back and investigate this guy and check for Andy!"

"You're back to your old ways, aren't you? Don't get involved in this. Old Tan and I have already investigated the other party's background, and they're definitely not a good match.

Wei Wei is too cunning, and being with him is too tiring for Andy. He's also too calculating. During the financial crisis, he abandoned his partners and ran away. So, this kind of person is neither suitable as a partner nor as a boyfriend or girlfriend."

Qu Xiaoxiao asked in confusion, "Since you and Mr. Tan both knew that Wei Wei was not suitable for Andy, why didn't you stop them?"

Han Tao shook his head. "Old Tan and I are just Andy's friends. What right do we have to interfere in her life? Besides, relationships change when someone else gets involved. You can only understand it yourself."

Besides, everyone is selfish, which leads to our biased views on everything. It’s not up to you or me to decide what to do, but what she thinks.

Qu Xiaoxiao was a little confused, and rolled her eyes and said, "I don't understand your mess. I only know how to help my relatives and not others!"
