Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

You're using my salary to pay off the mortgage and my savings for the down payment. Have you ever thought about your parents' well-being? You're telling me you don't care about them. Honestly, have you ever thought about this?

You're such a shameless person! You can't repay your parents for raising you, and you can't set a good example for your children. You can't even support your family, so what's the point of living? If I were you, I'd kill myself. You're such a freak!

"Fan Shengmei, is that how you talk to your brother? I got married and sold my house, wasn't it to continue the Fan family's lineage? You have nothing to be ashamed of for making a small contribution to the family, you..."

"What do you mean, Fan Shengying? Have you ever thought about me? Although I work in Shanghai for a foreign company, my salary is not low, and I'm not bad looking, but why am I still unmarried at the age of 30?

To put it bluntly, it's because I cared too much about you over the years that you sucked my blood like a vampire.

And what did you do? Not only did you not care about my feelings, you even made it worse. I can't support my parents, but you also want you to support your wife and children. Why? I am also a human being, I am also flesh and blood, my heart hurts too!

The more Fan Shengmei spoke, the more excited she became, she didn't consider the occasion, and the last few rhetorical questions were already roaring, full of sadness, grievance, disappointment, helplessness and anger.

At this moment, she completely exploded. There was nothing beautiful in her memory, except that her father was a good person and insisted on supporting her to finish college, while her mother and brother had always exploited her.

Fan Shengying, who was on the other end of the phone, was also frightened by his sister's unprecedented hysteria. He was silent for a long time before changing his strategy and saying:

"Xiaomei, it's my fault. I'm incompetent. Please help me. Otherwise, the mortgage will be overdue next month. If the bank repossesses it, your sister-in-law will definitely divorce me.

Now she's already making a scene with our mom, and she's even saying she wants to take Lei Lei back to her parents' home. If she really doesn't come back, won't that be the end of our parents? "

"If you can't pay the mortgage, just sell the house. If you can't keep your wife, it's your own fault. I won't give you a penny anymore. I don't have any money left. I just paid the rent, and I don't even have enough money for food this month. Forget this idea!"

Fan Shengmei's voice was resolute and decisive, and she hung up the phone.

In fact, she didn't want to care about Fan Shengying for a long time, but she still cared about her parents very much, fearing that they would have a bad life.But the problem is that as long as Fan Shengying is with her parents, she has to take care of her brother.

No matter how much money Fan Shengmei gave to her parents, it would eventually end up in her brother and his wife's pockets. That's why she'd always wanted to separate her parents from her brother. But before, she couldn't afford to bring them to Shanghai, so she had to accept it. Now, Han Tao had given her hope.

That's why Fan Shengmei made up her mind to leave it alone, because her father had a pension, which was enough for them to live in their hometown.

If they still gave the money to their son under such circumstances as before, then she would give up and they would just live their own lives.

Chapter 389 Wendy's Date

In the president's office of Jingyan Group, Fan Jingang and Ye Jinyan were chatting about their recent work arrangements. After a period of preparation, Yang Ke had already begun adjusting his work arrangements and would be able to complete the handover with the new sales manager next week.

In addition to him, Zhou Jing from the sales department will also go to the new company this time, and April will be officially transferred to be Han Tao's administrative secretary.

Tony was also promoted to deputy manager of the sales department, and Irene was transferred to the Wuhan branch to oversee the project and was promoted on the spot after completing the work.

Looking at the information in his hand, Fan Jingang hesitated for a moment and asked, "Boss Ye, I don't have to worry about Irene and Tony completely leaving Yang Ke, and April being transferred to Chairman Han's office. But if Teacher Pan continues to stay in the company, will this...?"

"What could it be? Teacher Pan has been in the company for so many years, is her position so easy to change? I've already discussed this with her, so don't worry about it!"

After saying that, Ye Jinyan looked at Fan Jingang, rolled his eyes at him, and said nothing more.

"Okay, I understand, Mr. Ye. I have something else to discuss with you. The lawyer from Hongyuan is coming to the company today, and Chairman Han will also be here to deal with the infringement issue. Is it around noon?"

When Fan Jingang heard Ye Jinyan say this, he understood that Ye Jinyan must have his own plans and intentions, so he continued to talk about this matter, but talked about other things.

Hearing this, Ye Jinyan nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, I just happen to have something to discuss with Director Han, so you can arrange it."

"Okay, Mr. Ye, I won't disturb you from working!"

Fan Jingang nodded, turned around and left Ye Jinyan's office, intending to explain to the personnel department and adjust the positions of several people.

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

At the same time, Han Tao arrived on time in the lobby downstairs of Jingyan Group. Wendy was already waiting there with a folder in hand. Seeing him come in, she hurried over to greet him and said,

"Boss, I have something to tell you in advance. I just received news that Hongyuan's acquisition plan has reached a critical moment. Whether we withdraw the lawsuit or not is very important to them. You guessed it right before. The other party is desperate and has no choice but to compromise.

I also learned that Jiang Yunsheng went to meet his father-in-law, Wang Zhiguo, one of the leading figures in Shanghai's political and legal circles, yesterday. I guess someone from your side will greet him soon, so you should take today's negotiations with extra care.

"okay, I get it!"

Han Tao nodded calmly, then continued, "Well, can you help me make an appointment with Zhang..."

"It's already been arranged. Mr. Zhang agrees to see you!"

"What time?"

"Tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock, go directly to Mr. Zhang's house. However, I suggest you call Director Shangfang, after all, he is the top official in the case filing office."

"Okay, I understand. Then ask for me..."

"He is here. I have already asked. Fangting will be in the filing hall all day tomorrow."

"Then please arrange a meal with him for me. I'll meet him tomorrow morning."

"I've already made an appointment. It's at the beef soup restaurant across from the District Court, and it was designated by Director Fang!"

"Thank you!"

Han Tao smiled and looked at Wendy. This is a tacit understanding. Needless to say, she has already arranged for you one by one. With such a secretary, the happiness index at work is full.

The two of them quickly walked through the office area of ​​the Legal Department. Seeing him walking over accompanied by Wendy, the Legal Department specialists and interns all greeted them.

After arriving at the office, Han Tao continued, "By the way, Wendy, when will Lawyer Jiang arrive? And Chen Ran and Liu Fang, are they here yet?"

"Lawyer Jiang Yunsheng from Hongyuan will be here in about an hour. Lawyer Chen might be a little late because there's an emergency at the law firm that she needs to deal with."

Wendy handed over one of the documents in her hand and said, "This is the information she asked me to pass on to you. Take a look.

As you might expect, Hongyuan contacted designer Liang Xue again and offered her an annual salary of tens of millions, with the only requirement being a three-year contract.

Fortunately, you have emphasized this matter in advance. Designer Liang Xue rejected the other party, but considering her relationship with Secretary Fan, I also notified Secretary Fan that you can meet with him later. "

"Okay, I get it. I expected them to do this!"

Han Tao nodded and looked at Wendy in a black suit. He felt that this girl's dress was becoming more and more mature and sexy.

We have been working together for more than three years, and Wendy rarely wore formal clothes before, so this black suit sets off her pretty face, making her look charming and capable.

In addition, the slim design of this dress also highlights the hot waist, and the fiery red lips that match this dress are simply gorgeous.

Of course, beautiful things always make people want to take a second look. Seeing that everyone passing by was looking at him, Han Tao also took a few glances after entering the office. Wendy smiled and said:

"Boss, I've been incredibly busy lately. Not only do I have to keep an eye on the law firm, but I also have to help you train new hires. When are you going to fulfill that promise to treat me to dinner? Did you forget?"

Hearing Wendy's words, Han Tao hurriedly shook his head: "Of course I won't forget. I've been too busy lately. How about I treat you tonight? You choose the place!"

"My stomach has been feeling bad these past few days. Why don't you come to my house tonight? I've just learned a few home-cooked dishes and I'd like you to try my cooking."

Hearing Wendy's invitation, Han Tao knew that she wasn't interested in drinking, so he hesitated and said, "Go to your house? I'm not prepared to meet my uncle and aunt suddenly!"

"What are you thinking about? I'm not going to my parents' place. I live on my own now, on Nanyang Road in the JA district."

After saying that, Wendy rolled her eyes at Han Tao and mentally spat, "Bah, you playboy! I can't even bring you to meet my parents!"

Han Tao smiled and nodded: "Okay, did you drive today? If not, I'll pick you up at the law firm after get off work."

"No need, you have so much to do, just go and get busy. I'll go back early to prepare, and you can go straight over to eat after you're done."

Wendy glanced at Han Tao and continued unhappily, "Come to think of it, we haven't talked together in a while. You've been so busy since we returned to the Magic City. How about we go for a ride after dinner on my new motorcycle?"

"Didn't you ship back that Harley before? Why did you sell another motorcycle?"

"I gave the previous one to Sister Na, and this time I bought a bigger one."

"That's possible. I might as well give it a try. I haven't had a proper run since I got my license."

Hearing Han Tao's words, Wendy asked suspiciously, "Boss, why haven't I seen you driving a motorcycle before? Are you any good at it?"

Han Tao looked at her and couldn't help but joked, "You're definitely an experienced driver. If you don't believe me, you can try it tonight!"

"Bah, you hooligan!" Wendy spat in annoyance. Fortunately, they had already arrived at Han Tao's office and no one heard their conversation.

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

Chapter 390 Negotiation

At 10:30 in the morning, Han Tao, accompanied by Wendy, met with Hongyuan's lawyer Jiang Yunsheng in the small conference room of Jingyan Group's legal department on time.

"Hello, Attorney Jiang Yunsheng, I've long heard of your great name!"

Seeing Han Tao being so polite, Attorney Jiang Yunsheng quickly took Han Tao's hand and responded politely: "Attorney Han, you are being polite. I heard Lawyer Chen mentioning you before, but it is a pity that I have never had the chance to meet you. You are so young and promising!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Lawyer Jiang. Please take a seat!"

"Thank you!"

After the greetings, Jiang Yunsheng took a subtle look at him. He had done a detailed investigation on this opponent. Not only did he have outstanding abilities, but his background was also not to be underestimated.

Although Han Tao's roots are in Handong, the students who graduated from the Political Science and Law Department of Handong University are not limited to that province and city.

Similarly, Han Tao also looked at him. This middle-aged elegant man was a well-known figure in the Shanghai legal community. It was said that he had never lost a case, whether in court or out of court. However, this time was different. Han Tao was 80% sure of winning.

After Wendy finished preparing her things and sat down, Han Tao took the initiative to speak, "Lawyer Jiang, we've been negotiating for so long, let's not beat around the bush. The reason we didn't choose to discuss this at the law firm is because we want everyone to be open and honest. Just say whatever you want!"

Jiang Yunsheng nodded: "Lawyer Han, let me be frank. You and I are both familiar with this kind of case..."

Seeing Jiang Yunsheng begin his long speech, Han Tao tapped the table with his fingers, signaling Wendy to turn off the recording and said:

"Lawyer Jiang, after two rounds, everyone's background has been exposed. Let's get straight to the point."

Hearing this, Jiang Yunsheng looked at Han Tao deeply and nodded, "Then I'll get straight to the point. Lawyer Han, how do you, or Jingyan Group, plan to resolve this matter? What's your purpose in holding on to it?

"Solving this problem is simple. Either Hongyuan publicly apologizes and admits to plagiarism, or Donghai develops the project in partnership with Jingyan. However, no matter which method Hongyuan Group chooses, it must pay this amount of compensation!"

As he said that, Han Taoweiwei said, "You go first," stretched out a hand, and spread out his five fingers.

Jiang Yunsheng frowned and said, "Five million? If that's the number, I can make the decision right now.

However, the cooperation still needs to be discussed in detail. After all, the Binhai project is Hongyuan’s largest project in recent years and is also a very important breakthrough.”

Han Tao shook his head and said, "There's no room for negotiation on the cooperation, and the compensation isn't five million, it's fifty million."

"Fifty million?"

Hearing this figure, Jiang Yunsheng looked at Han Tao, his brows furrowed even more tightly. He said in surprise, "Lawyer Han, are you kidding me? You want to participate in the Donghai project, and you're asking for so much compensation. That's simply asking for too much!"

Han Tao smiled and shook his head: "Lawyer Jiang, my conditions are not excessive at all. You know why I want so much compensation.

I'm putting this on hold. If Hongyuan disagrees, I don't mind. We'll see you in court, even if it's a long road."

"Lawyer Han, don't leave so quickly. Okay, let me talk to Mr. Wang."

Seeing Han Tao stand up and prepare to leave the meeting room, Jiang Yunsheng called him back. Then, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but exclaimed, "As expected of a lawyer from a well-known law firm, he's really quite formidable."

"No problem, please go ahead, Lawyer Jiang!" Han Tao nodded and sat down again.

When Jiang Yunsheng called back, he didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Han Lu, I've already communicated with President Wang. Let's just reveal our cards!"

Han Tao smiled and said, "No problem, but I've already given you my trump card. One is that Hongyuan Group admits to plagiarism and publicly apologizes, stops the infringing projects, and compensates our designers and design department 5000. The second is that Jingyan participates in the Donghai project, and also compensates 5000 million."

"We agreed to the 50 million yuan compensation, but we didn't discuss participating in the Donghai project. This isn't something that Mr. Wang can decide on his own. The Hongyuan board of directors won't agree to it."

Hearing Jiang Yunsheng's words, Han Tao stared at him intently and said in an indifferent tone:

"It doesn't matter. If they don't agree, forget it. We can just sue them. Winning or losing doesn't matter. After all, we don't have a multi-billion dollar merger plan!"

Jiang Yunsheng stood up suddenly, looked at Han Tao solemnly, and asked in a cold voice, "How did you know about this?"

Han Tao wouldn't be fooled, so he smiled and said, "It's very simple. Analysis will give you the answer. Otherwise, neither Hongyuan nor you, Lawyer Jiang, would have put so much effort into this case."

Jiang Yunsheng slammed his palm on the table, stood up and warned: "Han Lu, this is extortion!"

"Lawyer Jiang, are you trying to scare me?"

Han Tao smiled at him and said, "I'm also familiar with the legal provisions. Filing a malicious lawsuit during a company merger or financing period, and using threats to force the company to hand over financial information, meets the characteristics of extortion. Is this what you want to tell me?"

Hearing Han Tao's words, Jiang Yunsheng sneered: "Han Lu, since you know everything, and you still think I'm trying to scare you, aren't you afraid of being accused of this crime?"

Han Tao shook his head. "Of course I'm not afraid, because this is a normal lawsuit, and our company's legal department didn't know about your merger and acquisition plans when we filed the lawsuit."

"Han Lu, can't we have a win-win proposal?"

Seeing that no matter how he attacked, he would be easily rejected by Han Tao, Jiang Yunsheng finally realized that although Han Tao looked young, he was very formidable, and that he could sit in his current position not entirely because of his master.

Looking at Jiang Yunsheng's helpless face, Han Tao smiled and said, "Lawyer Jiang, the proposal I put forward is not excessive. This is the best win-win proposal, isn't it?

However, if you are truly in a difficult situation, you can choose not to participate in the Donghai project. Even if you don't admit or apologize, you can just compensate Jingyan Binhai for the project investment."

Jiang Yunsheng shook his head. "We've looked into Binhai's investment. Hongyuan can't come up with that much money. This 50 million is all the liquidity Hongyuan can mobilize in the short term."

"There's no room for discussion now. Lawyer Jiang isn't in a hurry to answer. Next Monday, if Hongyuan still insists on its current statement, we'll have to see each other in court."

After saying that, Han Tao stood up and shook hands with Jiang Yunsheng, while signaling Wendy to see Lawyer Jiang and his assistant off on his behalf.

This time Jiang Yunsheng did not stop Han Tao. With such a large sum of money, he had no decision-making power and he did not dare to persuade Hongyuan to pay.
