Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

This library project is Mr. Ye’s passion. He spent ten years on it and finally put up the sign of this R&D team.

But this project is unprofitable, at best it will break even. You know, Tang Xin would definitely not agree to do a project like this that doesn't make money, because she and Mr. Ye have different values."

"Why does it have to be me? As long as Old Ye wants, other people can do this project well even if it's not me."

"Others can certainly do it, but it's hard to predict to what extent. Neither Wang Yongzheng nor anyone else at Jingyan has the experience and strength, nor do they have your coordination skills and strategic vision.

Even if you grope your way forward and eventually succeed, it will take a long time. Could you bear to see Mr. Ye wait ten years? You and Mr. Ye share the same values, and I believe you can't let go of Jingyan either.

In particular, one of the projects that Jingyan is discussing is a library project, which is a good breakthrough. It is located at No. 81 Qingpu Site, with a total area of ​​50,000 square meters. The subway will soon be built there. It is a very popular urban village.

Many companies are eyeing such a good project. If Jingyan gets it, who do you think is qualified to take over besides Tang Xin?

But Tang Xin will never agree to keep the library, and Mr. Ye won't give up. In this case, you are the only one who can compete with her.

Most importantly, if the library project fails, the board of directors will definitely hold Mr. Ye accountable. If that happens, his situation at Jingyan will not be optimistic."

Han Tao knew Daisy's concerns, so he told Daisy frankly about Ye Jinyan's situation and the problems of Jingyan Group. Given her feelings for Ye Jinyan and Jingyan, all she lacked was an opportunity to make a domineering return.

Daisy lowered her head and thought. This was not a trivial matter, and she was not the kind of person who would act on emotion. She had to weigh the pros and cons of this matter.

Although she has been unable to let go of Jingyan for so many years, and also unable to let go of Ye Jinyan, she will never act on her emotions, and her age will not allow her to make another mistake. After all, Jingyan is where Daisy fell the most seriously.

What's more, Daisy has not been idle in recent years. She has her own career abroad. If she returns to Jingyan, her overseas studios will inevitably be affected.

And Tang Xin, she had lost their last competition and left Jingyan because of it. If he failed again this time, she wasn't sure if she could continue in this line of work, and she lacked a good excuse to go back, which was why she hadn't made a decision yet.

Seeing her hesitation, Han Tao continued, "Aunt, I have recommended Nansun to Mr. Ye to join this project, and he agreed.

Nansun will start working at Jingyan next Monday. Now that the Jiang family has become like this, she needs a chance to prove her abilities. I think you are the best person to lead the way."

Daisy nodded and said, "I admit, you succeeded in convincing me, but I can't answer you right now. It involves too many things. Let me think about it."

"No problem. I'm the second largest shareholder of Jingyan now, but I don't have time to attend board meetings often. If my aunt comes back, she can just hold some shares on my behalf.

The stock market turmoil this year has had a significant impact on all listed companies, including real estate companies. In addition, some newly introduced policies have imposed increasing restrictions on property purchases.

I have news that a shareholder is planning to cash out their shares. Although it's not much, if you're interested, you can take them over. That way, it will be more logical for you to reply to Jing's comments, and you'll also have a greater say."

Daisy didn't say anything, but just looked at Han Tao seriously, nodded, and then the two of them walked into the Jiang family's gate.

Although she didn't answer, Han Tao knew that Daisy had agreed. Ten years ago, Daisy had lost the competition with Tang Xin, and Ye Jinyan chose Tang Xin instead of Daisy. This disappointed Daisy so much that she left and went to live abroad, and she never came back.

In fact, Daisy has always had an obsession to fight back in her heart, and she likes Ye Jinyan, but Ye Jinyan has never expressed his love for Daisy, nor has he tried to keep her. Daisy was just wishful thinking and finally chose to leave him.

In the original plot, Daisy also came back because of something that happened in her sister's family. After she came back, she knew that Ye Jinyan's library plan was about to be ruined, so Daisy chose to stay and help him.

Ten years ago, when the company was doing well, Ye Jinyan did not choose Daisy. Ten years later, when the company encountered difficulties, Daisy chose to stay and help him. It would be a lie to say that he was not grateful.

There is also a small detail in the original plot. During the ten years that Daisy went abroad, Ye Jinyan would carefully prepare gifts for Daisy's birthday every time. No matter for what the reason, guilt or other reasons, it shows that Ye Jinyan is always thinking about Daisy in his heart. Han Tao thinks that the two of them are quite suitable.

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

At the same time, the atmosphere in the Jiang family's kitchen was gloomy. Originally, Aunt Jia was the one who cooked for the family, but Aunt Jia's daughter-in-law suddenly had to give birth, so she left in a hurry before she started preparing.

This kind of thing cannot be delayed. Not only was Grandma Jiang not unhappy, she also gave her a big red envelope. However, considering that no one had cooked in recent days, Dai Yin gritted her teeth and cooked her first meal in the Jiang family. Fortunately, it was her sister who came to eat, so she was not afraid of being disliked.

Thinking that the hands that played mahjong could also handle housework, Dai Yin gained some confidence. But ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel. Looking at the first few dishes served, Dai Yin himself had no appetite at all, let alone serving guests.

Not to mention those stir-fried dishes that require skills and control of heat, even a simple poached egg would either be fried black or half-cooked. None of the eggs on the plate were up to standard.

This made Grandma Jiang roll her eyes several times, and her dissatisfaction with her daughter-in-law was written on her face. Even though she hadn't cooked for many years, when she was young, Grandma Jiang could cook a lot of dishes, and she cooked them quite well.

Dai Yin was also helpless. After cooking today, she realized that she could not do anything except playing mahjong and dancing. She couldn't even copy others well.

She used to think she had always been a compromiser in the Jiang family, but now she knew that the Jiang family was actually tolerant of her. Otherwise, in any ordinary family, a daughter-in-law who couldn't cook would be despised to some extent, but she had never taken care of the family affairs, including her daughter Jiang Nansun, and she had never cooked a meal by herself.

Now, after a busy afternoon, I only managed to make a few unappetizing side dishes. I should have bought some prepared food or asked the restaurant to deliver some, but it's too late now.

However, she felt that there was still a chance to make amends. Although she was not good at cooking, she could at least make two cold dishes. At least she thought that cold cucumbers and cold tomatoes were no problem.

Although the Jiang family now owes Han Tao money, they have learned to adjust their lifestyle habits. They no longer eat four cold dishes and eight hot dishes every day like before, but four dishes and one soup are still indispensable.

Chapter 396 Dain Cooks for the First Time

On Fuxing Road in Shanghai, in Jiang's restaurant, Grandma Jiang was still sitting in the main seat. On her left were her son Jiang Pengfei and daughter-in-law Dai Yin, and on her right were Dai Xi, Jiang Nansun, and Zhu Suosuo. Everyone sat around the table, looking at the unsuccessful dishes on the table.

Seeing his mother's unhappy expression, Jiang Pengfei patted his wife's hand and said,

"This fried egg may not look good, but it smells really good, like a fried egg. And this salad with tomatoes is also very good. Although it has a bit more sugar, it doesn't taste sour.

Nansun, this is your mother's first time cooking, so it's pretty good. If you're not used to the food, just make do with it. It'll be fine when Aunt Jia comes back in a few days, or you can hire a new Auntie when you have time."

"Dad, I don't think so. Everything is fine now. You're not watching the stock market 24 hours a day, not caring about other people's feelings. Mom can also cook for everyone herself. After all, this is what makes a home feel like."

It was the first time Jiang Nansun saw her mother cooking, and she was actually very happy. Although the cooking was not successful, in her opinion, her mother's transformation was the most worthy of encouragement and recognition.

Seeing how much her sister had changed, Daisy nodded and said, "No one is born knowing everything. Take your time and don't rush. No matter what it is, as long as you take the first step, success is not far away."

The situation in your family is different now than before, so everyone’s thinking really needs to change, and the previous situation was indeed not good.

Of course, it's not that your previous lifestyle was bad, but it was too dogmatic. If Han Tao hadn't been there during this crisis, your family would have had trouble getting enough food and clothing, so why would you have been so particular? "

Seeing that the situation was not right, Dai Xi implicitly criticized Grandma Jiang. Dai Yin, who was standing by, felt a little embarrassed and took over the conversation awkwardly:

"It's my fault. I put too much water in the rice today. I'll put less next time. Also, those dishes were my first time making them, so they weren't very good. I made a fool of myself, but I will learn and do better in the future."

Jiang Nansun looked at her mother Dai Yin with a smile and encouraged her in a coquettish tone: "Mom, I think you are already amazing. I want to eat two fried eggs today. If you cook every day in the future, I will go home to eat every day!"

"Auntie, Nansun is right. If you cook every day, we will all come back to eat. Actually, I like porridge more than rice!"

Seeing Zhu Suosuo say this, Dai Yin smiled happily and said, "You are so sweet!"

“Ha, ha, ha!” Zhu Suosuo saw that the atmosphere had improved a lot, and she laughed and acted coquettishly: “Auntie, this is the truth, it’s truer than real gold!”

At this time, Jiang Nansun looked at Grandma Jiang, picked up some food for her, and then poured a bowl of soup, saying:

"Grandma, let's eat. I found you the most beautiful poached egg. And this soup is pretty good."

"I don't want to drink and I can't eat!" Grandma Jiang didn't move her chopsticks and shook her head.

Seeing this, everyone looked at her. Jiang Pengfei even took his mother's hand and urged, "Mom, your health is important. Eat a little!"

Grandma Jiang shook her head again, but before she could say anything, Jiang Nansun couldn't help but say, "Grandma, if you don't have an appetite today, then don't eat.

But if you think the food is not good, I advise you to still eat some, because we will have to eat it these days.

Maybe things will get better after Aunt Jia comes back, but she can only come three or four times a week at most because we can't afford more than that.

In fact, everyone wants to live a good life and is willing to live a good life, but life is always full of twists and turns. Our family is now heavily in debt.

Although Han Tao and Suosuo won't force us, we still have to pay it back. Just like you once taught me, no matter what time it is, we must never lose our backbone, so we still have to maintain our attitude."

"You don't need to remind me of this. You're in your twenties and fifties, but I'm already in my seventies and eighties. Some habits can't be changed. But you're not without reason. Regardless of whether you're rich or poor, a home should feel like a home."

Grandma Jiang turned to look at Dai Yin and said proudly, "How about this? Starting tomorrow, I will teach you how to cook. When I was young, I could cook a lot of dishes!"

When these words were spoken, everyone looked at each other in surprise. No one expected that Grandma Jiang would not continue to be tough. What was most surprising was that she, who had lived a life of luxury, could actually cook.

Seeing that her grandmother had said so, Jiang Nansun stopped holding on to her and looked at the three elders of the Jiang family solemnly and said:

"Grandma, Dad, Mom, since everyone is here, I have something to discuss with you."

The three of them saw Jiang Nansun's serious expression and had a premonition that she had something important to say, so they all looked at her.

"This time, the family debt crisis was successfully resolved thanks to Han Tao's help and Suosuo's support. Although the house was indirectly saved, we are still under pressure.

We can't just rely on Suosuo and Han Tao being nice to us, nor can we just sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor just because Han Tao is rich.

Especially Dad, you have squandered all the money in the family over the years, and later even mortgaged the ancestral home. You must learn from this.

However, since it's the past, let it be the past. I hope you have really come to your senses. If something unexpected happens to our family again, there is a real possibility that we will be doomed.

So, everyone needs to change their current situation. I've decided to work part-time while studying, and I'll find a job to earn money while I'm doing my PhD. Mom and Dad also need to work hard for this family. We don't ask for the best, but we also don't want to be a drag on them.

Dai Yin nodded and said in agreement, "I support Nansun's decision. I actually have about 200,000 yuan somewhere, and I've already discussed it with Dai Qian. I'll have her help with some investments. I also bought some financial management funds before. At least I can make enough money to cover the family's normal expenses."

Jiang Pengfei also nodded and assured: "I already know I was wrong, and what happened before will never happen again. As for the work matter, didn't Xiao Han talk to me about it a few days ago? Now I have been buying the stocks he specified according to the information he provided.

I have to say, Xiao Han's vision and judgment are very impressive. One stock has surprisingly shown a strong upward trend in this market. If nothing unexpected happens, these stocks can make a lot of money, and 20% of the profits will go to me."

Seeing that everyone in the family had expressed their opinions, Grandma Jiang looked at her granddaughter Jiang Nansun. Her eyes no longer had the previous disdain, but were gentle as she said:

"Nansun is right to think so. It's great that you all have your own plans. I have a savings account with two million yuan, which can be used as an emergency fund for our family. You should be more thoughtful in the future. Our family can no longer withstand any hardship, and this arrangement is the safest."

After that, Grandma Jiang stood up and left, continuing as she walked: "You guys eat, I'm tired, I'm going upstairs to rest first!"

Although the subsequent conversation was quite harmonious, Grandma Jiang still refused to eat due to years of habit, which made the originally relaxed atmosphere tense again.

Dai Yin opened her mouth several times but didn't say anything. Jiang Pengfei saw his mother leave like this, which made the atmosphere not so good. In addition, Han Tao didn't stay for dinner just now, which made Jiang Pengfei feel a little regretful. So he quickly changed the subject and said:

"Suosuo, has Xiaohan been busy lately? He finally came home, but he left before even having dinner."

Zhu Suosuo smiled and responded, "Uncle, Jingyan has an infringement case that has reached a critical moment recently, so Brother Han is quite busy. When he is free, we will come over to have dinner with grandma and you."

"I know he's busy, and I'm worried he'll overwork himself. Speaking of which, Xiao Han has invested in so many companies and made a ton of money in the stock market. He doesn't need to work so hard."

"Superficial, you think everyone is like you, with nothing else in their eyes except money!"

Seeing her father Jiang Pengfei say this, Jiang Nansun rolled her eyes at him and continued unhappily, "Becoming a lawyer is Han Tao's dream. He studied law for so many years just to become a lawyer. It has nothing to do with how much money he has."

Seeing his daughter contradicting him in front of her sister-in-law, Jiang Pengfei was a little angry: "What's wrong with ideals? Didn't I say it's bad to pursue ideals? You are becoming more and more lifeless now..."

"It will get cold soon, let's eat!"

Seeing that the father and daughter were about to argue again, Dai Yin interrupted Jiang Pengfei and signaled everyone to eat.

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

Chapter 397 Daisy explores Nansun and Suosuo

Seeing that several conflicts had occurred during the meal, Daisy couldn't help but pull her niece Jiang Nansun's arm, then changed the subject and asked:

"By the way, Nansun, why didn't you tell your aunt and me that you were going to work at Jingyan? If Han Tao hadn't mentioned it to me today, I wouldn't have known about it. Are you planning to keep it a secret from me?"

"Aunt, you and Ye Jinyan have been friends for so many years, how could I hide this from you?"

Jiang Nansun looked at Daisy a little embarrassedly. Seeing that her aunt was not angry, she continued to explain:

"Actually, Suosuo and I went to Jingyan today just to talk to Han Tao and hear if he had any good advice about my part-time work and study plan. I never thought I would end up working at Jingyan."

Zhu Suosuo understood what Daisy meant. After all, she and Ye Jinyan were good friends. As her aunt, she didn't know that her niece was going to Jingyan, so she felt embarrassed. So she chimed in:

"Aunt, I can testify to this. Nansun accompanied me to handle the transfer procedures today, and by the way, she came to talk to Brother Han.

Unexpectedly, Nansun's design concepts and architectural perspectives were a perfect match for Jingyan's new project, so Brother Han took her to meet Mr. Ye. After learning more about the project, Mr. Ye also felt that Nansun's perspectives were refreshing, so he hired her directly.

Daisy smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I mean Nansun is going to Jingyan, and as her aunt, I have to help her.

But it's better this way, so you don't get criticized by others, especially since Nansun is Professor Dong's student. He and Jingyan have collaborated on many projects, so it won't prevent you from following him on your research project."

Hearing what Aunt Daisy said, Jiang Nansun nodded and said, "Thank you for your understanding, Auntie. I also had this consideration, so I agreed to give it a try.

The Songjiang Hotel Project that I participated in was a Jingyan project. Professor Dong had previously recommended that I go to Jingyan and said that he could write a letter of recommendation.

I didn't expect Han Tao to recommend me to Mr. Ye without giving me time to think about it. Just like my aunt said, this is actually a good thing, so that my aunt and Professor Dong don't have to rely on each other for favors.

After hearing what his daughter Jiang Nansun and Daisy said, Jiang Pengfei learned that his daughter had entered Jingyan and that it was Han Tao who recommended her. He said with great joy:

"That's great! This is great news! After joining Jingyan, Nansun can work with Suosuo. Han Tao is Jingyan's major shareholder and CLO, so you two can take care of each other."

Hearing this, Jiang Nansun's mother, Dai Yin, also nodded and said, "Yes, it's good for the two sisters to have someone to look after them. But Suosuo, what about the job transfer you just mentioned? Aren't you in the sales department?"

Did you also go to the Design Department with Nansun, or did Han Tao transfer you to the Legal Department?

"I don't have Nansun's strong professional ability, so why would the Design Department look up to me? Even less so the Legal Department. If April hadn't done administrative work before, she wouldn't have been transferred there to be an administrative secretary. That's why Brother Han won't let personal matters take precedence over official duties."

Zhu Suosuo sighed in a melancholy manner, and then explained helplessly: "I was transferred to Mr. Ye's office as an assistant, but not as Mr. Ye's assistant, but as an assistant to that fathead fish Fan Jingang.

I don’t know what Mr. Ye is thinking. My temperament and abilities are clearly the best fit for the sales department!

Everyone in the sales department has been transferred, and several supervisors have either been promoted or transferred elsewhere. As a star salesperson, I should be the supervisor of April and the others.

I don't know what's going on, but they insisted on transferring me to another position, and told me to go downstairs with Fan Jingang. It seems like I'll just be a handyman from now on. How miserable!"

Zhu Suosuo speaks in an exaggerated tone and has rich expressions. Even if you don't listen to her, you can tell her unwillingness and depression from her expression.

Seeing this, Dai Yin said in a reminder tone: "Suosuo, I think working with the boss should be more promising than working in the sales department.

Although you are Secretary Fan's assistant, you are also the assistant to the CEO's chief secretary. This is different from being in the sales department. You will learn more from them, which is always a good thing."

At this time, Jiang Nansun didn't wait for Zhu Suosuo to speak, and directly exposed her past and said, "Mom, don't you know how to save Suosuo?
