Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

"If you don't understand, learn. If nothing else, I'll be dead. I have a board meeting to attend!"

Seeing Han Tao look at his watch again after he finished speaking, Qu Xiaoxiao knew that he still had things to do, and nodded quickly: "Okay, Brother Han, then you go ahead and do your work. I also have to go to the company and take care of other things!"

"Well, let's go back to Ode to Joy early after get off work today, and let's go to Andy's for dinner!"

"I see. Lanlan and the others also want to invite you to dinner. Let's arrange a time!"

"Yes, Brother Tao, my uncle owns a manor, and the wine he brews is pretty good. Let's go try it together?"

"Let's go to the weekend. I'll schedule some time this weekend so we can all get together. Okay!"

Chapter 378 Andy's Confusion

Time flies. After the board meeting at Shengxuan, Han Tao returned to Mingtang Law Firm. One reason was to deal with Andy's case, and the other was that there had been new progress on Andy in Jingyan Group and Hongyuan Group, so he had to arrange the next step of work.

Andy also got off work early, but as soon as she got out of the car, she saw Wei Wei in the underground garage of Ode to Joy, standing at the door leading to the elevator waiting for her.

Seeing her coming over, Wei Wei said sincerely: "I'm sorry Andy, I rushed back from abroad as soon as I received the news, but I didn't expect Mr. Tan to act so quickly.

However, it's because of me that you've been in trouble and hurt, so I must apologize in person!"

Andy's eyes no longer had the warmth they once had, and he responded calmly, "It's okay. It's all resolved anyway, so you don't need to apologize. Besides, they're just small matters, and they're not what you wanted to see. There's really no need to feel guilty."

Wei Wei saw that Andy's expression had lost its enthusiasm, and like an ordinary friend, he immediately started to make amends: "No, Andy, I must apologize to you. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be in this trouble.

Actually, to be honest, I'm quite grateful for this scandal, otherwise I wouldn't have found a reason to come see you. My performance at the Science and Technology Museum that day was very poor, and then you brought your neighbor to meet me, and I didn't have some words to say..."

"It's okay, let's not talk about the past!"

Andy interrupted Wei Wei. She wasn't good at dealing with emotional issues, so she awkwardly changed the subject and said, "By the way, Qidian, do you know who posted this?"

Hearing Andy's question, Wei Wei weighed it in his heart for a moment and said, "I know, but I can't stop her. I'm sorry for hurting you.

How about we go out for dinner? I'll just apologize to you. Besides, we're already internet celebrities, and it would be even more troublesome if someone took a picture of us!"

Andy shook his head. "I'm sorry, Qidian. My neighbors are worried about me. They've been doing their best to help me these past few days. We've already made an appointment, and they're all on their way home. I can't leave them here to have dinner with you."

"Andy, your reason doesn't convince me. Look, I've been hurt so much by your rejection, but I still shamelessly come to you. Unless you reject me for a reason I agree with."

Andy was about to respond when her phone rang. Seeing Fan Shengmei, she was about to answer it.

However, Wei Wei, who was standing by, suddenly saved Andy. This made her feel a little frightened and angry. She tried to push him away with her arms, and said anxiously:

"Singularity, what are you doing? Let me go."

"Why? Andy, why did you push me away?"

Wei Wei didn't let go, but directly confessed: "Am I not tall enough? Am I not smart enough? Or am I not rich enough? Or do you think I have bad character, or that I am not fun enough?

What exactly is wrong with me? Please give me a reason? If it's not, then why do you always push me away? You should be able to feel my feelings for you!"

Andy nervously avoided his gaze, completely broke free from Wei Wei, and said, "I'm sorry, this is not your problem, it's my own problem."

"It's your problem, so why are you pushing me away? Andy, I really like you, and it's not fair to me to do this!

In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with you, you just think too much. Don't always wrap yourself up and don't put too much burden on yourself."

After Wei Wei finished speaking, Andy took a few deep breaths, calmed himself down, shook his head and said:

"Singularity, I think we might not be suitable. Although we haven't been together for a long time, you always take the lead and rarely consider my opinions. Although I feel safe, I don't feel warm.

I admit that I don’t know how to interact with people, but I can feel what I like.”

After hearing Andy's words, Wei Wei wanted to approach Andy again. After she hid aside, he took two steps forward and said:

"Andy, do you think I can't see it? You don't like people touching you. I thought it was because you were aloof, but after getting to know each other, I felt that you were afraid.

As an orphan, you are very lonely and afraid that you can't fit in and that you are different from others. You don't believe that you have the ability to love others, nor do you believe that you can be loved by others.

But this is all your imagination, not reality. Believe me, there is nothing wrong with you, so give me this chance and let me explain it to you clearly.

Actually, you are wrong. Every time I am with you, you only care about your own heart and completely ignore my feelings."

"Singularity, maybe you're right. And you're really good. It's me who's sick and can't help myself!"

"I'm sorry, Andy, I'm not blaming you. I just want you to give me one night. I'll take you home on time after midnight, okay?

I believe you have me in your heart, so give both of us a chance, let's open up and talk it out!"

"You're really nice, Singularity. Although I don't know what to talk to you about at first glance, you're a good person. But I still can't promise you. Let's talk about this later, because I can't guarantee that I can talk to you rationally."

After saying that, Andy ran towards the elevator without waiting for Wei Wei and without looking back, leaving Wei Wei alone at the entrance looking at her back.

Wei Wei felt particularly awkward at this time. It was inappropriate for him to chase after her, but he was unwilling to give up. Moreover, he suddenly felt as if he had already lost.

However, Andy's tone was not so resolute, but he said to talk about it later. A glimmer of hope rose in Wei Wei's heart, which meant that he still had a chance, so he felt that he should adjust his strategy and then launch an attack again.

After all, Andy is the most suitable marriage partner for him in recent years. She is a woman with extraordinary abilities, financial independence, and she will never try to take advantage of his money.

Especially when two people are together, he feels that it is very satisfying and also low-carbon and environmentally friendly (saving money and not troublesome), because when two people are together, they will be very happy as long as they have a quiet chat about technology or scientific issues of the year.

The most important thing is that Andy is a top student. No matter what questions she asks, she can quickly understand the meaning. If it were someone else, they would not have such knowledge reserves or such tacit understanding.

Normal girls would not be interested in someone with average looks like me, unless she is after the money. Otherwise, without good looks, being humorous and knowledgeable is not attractive at all.

So Wei Wei shouldn't take Andy seriously. Although he has never been married, there is never a shortage of beautiful girls around him, but most of them are after his property.

Wei Wei thought that it was okay to spend a little money for fun, but it was impossible to talk about marriage, and he was unwilling to waste the money like this.

After all, he earned his money bit by bit. During the previous financial crisis, he lost six figures every day, but no one was there to help him. If he had not withdrawn in time, he would have almost jumped off the balcony of his home.

Andy in the elevator was also a little confused. He didn't know whether he should continue to be ambiguous with Wei Wei. The reason was that Wei Wei was not as good as he thought. His performance in this incident made Andy feel that Wei Wei was not a responsible person.

Although going on a business trip abroad was an excuse, it did not mean that he really did not know about it. He was indifferent to the matter and even ignored it before the press conference and could not be contacted at all.

Andy could clearly see that after Wei Wei returned to China, he did not solve the problem immediately, but came to explain to her first. This was completely putting the cart before the horse, and it also proved that it was not as Wei Wei said, that he just found out.

So after the analysis, the good impression brought by the halo of Singularity is no longer there. In Andy's eyes, Wei Wei is no longer that outstanding. At best, he is just a relatively successful businessman.

Chapter 379 Ode to Joy Dinner

After hanging up the phone, Qu Xiaoxiao chatted with her friends for a while, and they had lunch together before leaving.

Qu Xiaoxiao changed her previous style and went straight back to the company to handle work. She was busy until after five o'clock, then she got up with her bag and prepared to drive back to Ode to Joy.

Seeing this, Yao Bin, who had been with her the entire afternoon, put down his phone and hurried after her to ask, "Xiao Xiao, do you have any plans for tomorrow?"

"Come to the company, what else can I do? I've already secured the domestic agency for the GI brand, and the next step is contacting clients. I have a lot of things waiting for me at the company!"

"No way, he really turned over a new leaf!"

Hearing Qu Xiaoxiao's answer, Yao Bin couldn't help but tease her, "I didn't expect that our Miss Qu really puts her career first. In that case, don't bother running around looking for clients anymore. I'll introduce you to some business!"

"You want to introduce a client to me? Tell me, what's going on?"

Qu Xiaoxiao stopped and looked at Yao Bin with some confusion, motioning him to continue.

Yao Bin smiled and said, "There's an air conditioning project that's currently being put out for public bidding. There are only two days left until the deadline. The person in charge is a friend of mine. If you think it's a good fit, don't come to the company tomorrow. Let's go straight there!"

After hearing what Yao Bin said, Qu Xiaoxiao was moved. She knew very well what the most important thing for her was now. She came back to compete with Qu Lianjie for the family property.

If his company could make a profit, or even quickly surpass Qu Lianjie's company, his father would naturally look upon him with a higher regard, and he would have the foundation to take over the Qu Group.

What's more, now that she has Han Tao's support and investment, her starting point is higher than her friends around her, so she must make a difference.

Thinking of this, Qu Xiaoxiao didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "How big is the project? What's the profit margin?"

Seeing that she was very interested, Yao Bin said proudly: "When has the job that your Master Yao introduced to you ever been small? Don't worry, the bid is definitely over 10 million.

If you think it's okay, let's discuss it today and go over there early tomorrow morning to get the preliminary qualification documents first. Then, I'll meet my friend who specializes in large venues. If we have a pleasant cooperation, there will be many opportunities in the future!"

"Okay, Yao Bin!"

After pondering for a long time, Qu Xiaoxiao no longer cared about the company's affairs. After sending a message to her assistant, she said directly: "Then let's stop talking nonsense and talk while walking!"

"okay!"

Yao Bin nodded happily. Although he knew that Qu Xiaoxiao didn't like him, he just couldn't let her go. Maybe this is what it means that what you can't get is always the best.

Although Qu Xiaoxiao has changed several boyfriends in recent years, Yao Bin just likes her. In his eyes, it is not a big deal. After all, eight out of ten girls of this generation have had multiple relationships, not to mention that he has been around many women over the years.

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

In Ode to Joy 2201, Han Tao was washing vegetables and chatting with Andy when suddenly someone rang the doorbell.

Andy stood up and walked to the door to open it. Seeing Guan Juer standing outside, he asked with a smile, "Xiao Guan, you got off work early today. Why didn't you ask me or Han Tao to pick you up?"

Guan Juer smiled a little embarrassedly and responded softly: "Thank you, Sister Andy, Brother Han called me, I was embarrassed to bother you.

I was supposed to work overtime, but when I got off work, my manager suddenly informed me that I didn’t need to work overtime today, so I came back on my own. The subway is pretty fast.”

Andy smiled and said, "Don't be so polite next time. It's just a matter of convenience. It's just a moment. Come in!"

He asked, and looked up to see Guan Juer coming in with dark circles under her eyes. Han Tao washed the last vegetable and put it on the plate, then walked from the kitchen to the sofa and said:

"Guan Guan, your company has too much overtime. We can't afford it. Why don't you come to my company? I just recently invested in a new company and I'm hiring now."

"Thank you, Brother Han. I don't want to change jobs for the time being. I still have this year, and I want to rely on my own abilities to stay at Huaxin Securities and let my parents see that I can do it.

But today the manager said that he would keep half the staff. If I really get rejected in the year-end assessment, you can take me in then, haha!"

Seeing Guan Juer looking at him with a smile, Han Tao nodded: "Of course, no problem, I believe you can succeed. You work so hard, and I am serious. Your leaders will definitely see it.

Actually, Andy and I both have high hopes for you. We've talked about this before. You're always welcome to come to our company, and Andy is willing to help you."

"Sister Andy, is what Brother Han said true?"

Guan Juer had never been recognized like this before, so she asked Andy a little excitedly.

Seeing her expectant look, Andy nodded: "Yes, not only Han Tao, I also told Xiao Qu before that if you are unemployed, we can all provide you with a job."

"Thank you, Sister Andy, thank you, Brother Han, and thank you, Xiaoqu."

Guan Juer thanked them happily. She was happy not only for the help from Andy and Han Tao, but also because she was very touched by their recognition of her.

Andy exchanged a glance with Han Tao and said with a smile, "You're welcome. It's your ability that makes us recognize you."

Han Tao also encouraged her at the right time: "Yes, Guan Guan, you have to believe in yourself. In fact, you are really good."

Guan Juer felt a little embarrassed by the two people's praise. Seeing that her face was red, Andy didn't wait for her to respond and changed the subject, "Xiao Guan, haven't Fan Xiaomei and Xiao Qiu come back yet?"

Hearing this, Guan Juer shook her head: "Sister Fan hasn't come back yet, it will probably be a while. Yingying has come back, but she has been studying coffee these past few days and is almost obsessed with it. She said she would come over after getting her hand-ground coffee."

As soon as Guan Juer finished speaking, Qiu Yingying, who couldn't help but mutter, came in. It really proved the saying that if you speak of Cao Cao, he will appear.

Because Andy knew they were coming too, he didn't close the door tightly, but left a gap, so Qiu Yingying rushed in with a book and a hand-cranked coffee machine in her arms.

When Andy saw her come in with a book, he asked with interest, "Xiao Qiu, are you working at the cafe?"

Qiu Yingying nodded excitedly: "Yes, I told you before, the coffee shop, have you forgotten? The name of the cafe where I work now is Kakao Cafe, it's very romantic.

Andy, if you want to drink coffee in the future, or if you have friends who want to chat, you can go there, but the location is a bit far from where you work. "

"hehe!"

Looking at Qiu Yingying, who was full of energy and enthusiasm, Andy felt better, so he smiled and said:

"No problem, Xiao Qiu, do you sell coffee beans? I just want to buy two bags. Can you recommend some to me later?"

"Buy coffee beans? Andy, don't you have two bags of Green Mountain coffee?"

After saying that, Qiu Yingying remembered that she had borrowed it to read before, so she asked Andy in confusion.

"Yingying..."

Seeing that Qiu Yingying refused to change her mind, even Guan Juer held her forehead, not knowing what to say.

Andy was speechless for a moment and could only say helplessly: "I gave the previous one to a colleague, so I want to buy two more bags."

Seeing Qiu Yingying's nervous look, Han Tao couldn't help laughing and said, "It's just that I want to buy some too, so you can recommend it to Andy!"

"Okay! Andy, Brother Han, let me recommend it to you now. They say Mandheling coffee is delicious, but I prefer Hawaiian Kona because they say it's a bit strong for my taste.

Of course, the Hawaiian Kona does have a strong flavor, and I wonder if you guys would like it?"

Hearing that there was business coming, Qiu Yingying became more and more excited, and was about to give Andy a big hug, which made Andy nervously hide behind her.

Seeing this, Han Tao couldn't help but come to the rescue and said, "I think what you said is quite good. Bring me five packs later."

"Yes, I'll get three packs too, but I don't have any change, so I can only transfer the money to you."
