Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

The reason why Han Tao did not accompany Wang Manni or stop her from going on this trip was because he relied on this. Otherwise, how could he feel at ease knowing the plot? He was not used to being framed.

Of course, Han Tao would not ignore Liang Zhengxian's persistence. If this guy dared to come to Shanghai to play tricks like in the original plot, he would not hesitate to teach him a lesson.

If he gave up just like that, Han Tao wasn't the type to be unreasonable. He could treat it as a misunderstanding and at least not pursue it deliberately.

After all, apart from chatting for a while in the cruise ship's bar and restaurant and buying her a drink, he and Wang Manni didn't do anything excessive.

Of course, this pile of information also includes Liang Zhengxian's information investigation, which shows that he has a fiancée, Zhao Jingyu. This is no different from the plot he knows, and has not changed due to other factors.

There are also some investigations into Liang Zhengxian's private life. After he got engaged, he has always been a playboy, and women often come to him for gossip.

So, how things develop next depends on what choice Liang Zhengxian makes. It would be best if everything remains peaceful, otherwise don't blame yourself.

Chapter 424 The Importance of Friends

Liang Zhengxian, on the other hand, was in the hotel wondering what went wrong.

With his many years of experience in picking up girls, he thought his performance on the boat was fine. Logically, Wang Manni should have contacted him on her own initiative.

But why has Wang Manni not contacted him until now? Is he not doing enough? Or is Wang Manni difficult to deal with?

Of course, it could also be that the girl insisted on being reserved, which made Liang Zhengxian decide that he needed to make the next plan, so that he could almost win her over.

After all, he had experience and felt that he had definitely not misjudged the person. Wang Manni was just a vain woman.

Although her expenses and the services she received on the cruise were top-notch, her inexperienced attitude, the way she saw everything as new and new and the desire to try everything revealed her previous life situation.

Liang Zhengxian has been hunting for beauties for so many years, and Wang Manni is not the most beautiful one, but to him, she has an indescribable charm that makes him want to try to contact her and get her.

Although he also saw that Wang Manni should be taken, he didn't care because he could tell that she was not married.

What's more, he has successfully won over all the women he met over the years, regardless of whether they had boyfriends or were married. At least he had no problem having a beautiful encounter.

………………

In Kunshan Garden, Wang Manni and Gu Jia met downstairs of Zhong Xiaoqin's house. After briefly explaining the situation, they went upstairs together.

After knocking on the door, Zhong Xiaoqin opened it herself. Chen Yu had something to do at the TV station, so he had to work overtime on the manuscript in the afternoon, so he would not be back until tomorrow.

After a few greetings, Gu Jia sat next to Zhong Xiaoqin, and Wang Manni sat opposite her.

Glancing at the lucky cats that filled the room, she started a conversation, "Xiaoqin, these lucky cats look so much like you. Were they all bought by your teacher, Mr. Chen?"

Glancing at the lucky cats on the windowsill and the cabinets, Zhong Xiaoqin said sadly:

"I don't know what Chen Yu means. He doesn't allow me to keep a cat, but he always brings one back from his business trips. I don't understand what he's thinking."

Gu Jia gently stroked Zhong Xiaoqin's back and comforted her softly, "That's because your teacher Chen knows you like cats, so she always remembers to bring one back from her business trips!"

Hearing this, Zhong Xiaoqin glanced at Gu Jia, then curled up on the sofa and said, "I like real cats, not lucky cats.

But Chen Yu likes to keep fish, and he was afraid that my Pikachu would scare his fish, so he didn't want me to keep a cat, and he sent Pikachu to my mom.

Looking at Zhong Xiaoqin lying on the sofa with a grim expression and listless look, and becoming more and more unhappy as she spoke, Wang Manni quickly got up, opened her suitcase, and changed the subject:

"Xiaoqin, I brought you a lot of gifts, come and take a look."

Without waiting for Zhong Xiaoqin's response, she took out a box of ham, placed it in front of Zhong Xiaoqin, and said, "Look, this is ham. It's very delicious. Do you want to try it?"

"I don't want to eat, I have no appetite!"

Zhong Xiaoqin shook her head and glanced at him without any mood.

Seeing this, Wang Manni put down the ham, took out a crystal candlestick from the suitcase, and said with a smile:

"If you don't like it, forget it. I also brought you this candlestick. It looks really nice with the candles lit."

"Manny, the candlestick you chose is really beautiful. You have good taste."

Seeing that Zhong Xiaoqin still had no interest, Gu Jia also stepped forward and picked up the candlestick and said, "Xiaoqin, do you have any candles at home? I'll light it for you and see."

"Thank you, Manny!"

Zhong Xiaoqin thanked her, then looked at Gu Jia with little interest and shook her head, "Gu Gu, I don't have any candles at home!"

Seeing Zhong Xiaoqin like this, Gu Jia thought for a moment and said, "Why don't the three of us go out and have some fun, and you can relax too.

Then we'll go eat something delicious. I know a really good restaurant, and we'll treat it as a welcome for Manny."

"Shopping is good, and I've been eating only Western food these days, so I'm really craving the delicious food here. After dinner, let's go see a comedy."

Wang Manni and Gu Jia looked at each other and echoed from the side.

Zhong Xiaoqin still shook her head and sighed, "It's boring, I'd better not go. Manny just came back and is tired. You really don't need to worry about me, go back and rest!"

"Okay, then we won't go out and just chat with you."

Gu Jia touched Zhong Xiaoqin's hair, but after thinking about it, she felt a little distressed when she saw her expression.

"But I've got a good idea. I'll book a plane ticket, and we can go somewhere together tomorrow."

Zhong Xiaoqin shook her head: "Gu Gu, there's really no need to go through so much trouble. I'll be fine in two days."

"It's not a problem. The company has been very stressful lately, and I want to go out for a walk. It's very close. Huanshan happens to be on a business trip tomorrow, so I have time. When I come back, Manny and I will accompany you to the hospital for surgery."

Looking at the two good sisters who cared about her, Zhong Xiaoqin finally couldn't help crying, and choked up while crying:

"I don't want to go anywhere now. Gu Gu, Manny, I just can't understand why he was fine before and why he's gone? I could hear his heartbeat so clearly, how could he be gone?"

Wang Manni didn't know how to answer this question. Fortunately, Gu Jia was married and had children, and she also understood her best friend's character, so she hugged Zhong Xiaoqin directly:

"Xiaoqin, listen to me. Xu Ziyan has a favorite picture book. It tells how babies choose their mothers in heaven."

Hearing this, Zhong Xiaoqin looked up at her. Gu Jia continued, "It says above that if a baby likes a certain mother, he will ask God to be born into that mother's belly.

Then God told him that having a baby is a very dangerous thing, so you must think carefully. If you choose it, you will be friends for life and death in the future.

So, your baby may have sensed some danger and left because he was trying to protect you.

So Xiaoqin, you have to relax, take good care of yourself, and be ready for him to come back to you, okay?"

Hearing this, Zhong Xiaoqin glanced at the lucky cats, wiped her tears and said, "Gu Gu, you saw it today too. Ever since Chen Yu knew the child was gone, he had no reaction at all and even had the mood to work overtime at the company.

I think the baby chose me, but didn’t want to choose him at all, so he left quietly.”

"Xiaoqin, don't think like that, and don't make it hard on yourself. Men and women express themselves differently. Teacher Chen must be feeling very bad, but he's a grown man, and he can't cry like you. You're just too sad, so you're imagining things.

Your most important thing now is to take care of your health. Your health is the first priority, okay? So just listen to me. Tomorrow I will take you and Manny to a fun and interesting place. "

"Yes, Xiaoqin, you have to be brave and take good care of yourself. We will be with you for the next few days, don't be afraid!"

"Manny is absolutely right. We will always be with you. Come on!"

"Ok!"

With the comfort of Gu Jia and the company of Wang Manni, Zhong Xiaoqin finally nodded in agreement and mentally prepared herself to take over the operation.

Maybe this is the importance of friends. When adults feel wronged, most of them will choose to report good news rather than bad news in order not to worry their parents.

She is not a negative person, but sometimes she feels really difficult, and there is no one around her to talk to, and her lover is not considerate enough.

People will experience many hardships and ups and downs in their lives. No matter how strong a person seems, there will be times when they feel powerless, exhausted or hit a low point. At this time, we need friends so much.

A friend may not be the one who can help you solve practical problems, but he is the one who happens to be by your side to give you timely support. It is a great blessing to have someone who can enter your heart, is worthy of your trust, and you are willing to confide in.

Han Tao, seeing that it was getting late, also called Wang Manni. After learning that Chen Yu was working the night shift, she wanted to stay with Wang Manni at home, so she ordered some midnight snacks for the three of them and asked the restaurant to deliver them.

After that, he told the nanny here to leave, then went downstairs and left Grand Hyatt.

Chapter 425: Evading Responsibility

At the same time, a new situation arose on the Ode to Joy side. Fan Shengmei was having dinner with Wang Baichuan, who had just returned from his hometown, when she received a call from the property management.

Xiao Zheng from the property management said that the owner on the 21st floor complained that their bathroom in room 2202 was leaking and asked her when she would come back to deal with it.

This phone call made Fan Shengmei very alert. She was worried that if she took responsibility for the consequences, the owner downstairs would harass her endlessly. If he asked for compensation, it would be even worse. So after making some excuses, she called Qiu Yingying again and told her not to admit it.

Qiu Yingying had just finished her coffee and hadn't paid much attention to it, but she quickly nodded in agreement.

However, things went against her wishes. When Qiu Yingying returned to Ode to Joy, the property manager Xiao Zheng stopped her and wanted her to solve the problem. However, Qiu Yingying, who had received instructions in advance, made an excuse to avoid the issue.

But neither she nor Fan Shengmei expected that the owner of 2102 was already waiting for them at the door of 2202, and the young and ignorant Qiu Yingying started arguing with the female owner of 2201 before they had even said a few words.

Andy, who had returned home a long time ago, saw something unusual in the corridor through the surveillance while looking at the information, so he got up to check.

Just when she opened the door to find out what was going on, the man downstairs ran up angrily. Frightened, Qiu Yingying quickly ran back into the house and closed the door.

Seeing this, the male owner downstairs kicked the door. Seeing that she didn't respond no matter how he called out, he kept shouting at her to open the door.

Qiu Yingying had never seen such a scene before, so she was scared and didn't know what to do. She could only call Fan Shengmei in fear.

At this time, Fan Shengmei was having dinner with Wang Bochuan. In order to avoid her lie about buying a house in Ode to Joy being exposed, she could only hide aside and answer the phone quietly under the pretext of going to the bathroom, and told Qiu Yingying not to open the door.

Andy watched the situation develop calmly, but when he saw Guan Juer came back, he was afraid that Guan Juer, who didn't know the truth, would be hurt, so he directly took Guan Juer to his home, saying that he had prepared dinner for her.

Guan Juer, who was confused, went into the house and asked about the situation. Then she remembered that last night, when she was washing clothes in the washing machine, she fell asleep in the room because she was too sleepy. When she woke up, she found that the washing machine had drained the whole bathroom.

Thinking about how Michelle had plotted against her before and Han Tao had told her to take responsibility, Guan Juer was about to go out and admit her mistake, but was stopped by Andy.

"Xiao Guan, I think you should stay put for now. The owner downstairs is angry about the water leak and Xiao Qiu's communication problems.

If you go out now, it will likely exacerbate the conflict, not only failing to resolve the problem, but you might even get hurt."

Hearing Andy's words, Guan Juer also asked worriedly: "Sister Andy, what should I do? If I don't go out now, Sister Fan is not at home, and Yingying is home alone and dare not open the door, there is no way to solve this problem?"

"It would be great if Xiao Qu was here. She's clever and should have some ideas, because I have no experience with this kind of thing."

Andy couldn't think of a good solution for a moment. She had just returned to China not long ago and had no experience in dealing with such things, so she didn't know where to start.

Guan Juer thought for a moment and said, "Sister Andy, how about I call Brother Han and see if he has any ideas?"

"That's a good idea. When something like this happens abroad, they also send a lawyer's letter."

Seeing Andy nod, Guan Juer, who felt supported, immediately took out her phone and called Han Tao.

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

At this time, Han Tao's car had just arrived at the underground garage. After hearing what Guan Juer said, he got off the elevator directly on the 21st floor.

However, as soon as he walked out of the stairwell, he saw the male owner downstairs calling Qiu Yingying to open the door, and the property staff was also persuading her to open the door so that someone could go in to check the situation.

Looking at this somewhat familiar male owner, Han Tao hadn't said anything when the other party smiled a little embarrassedly: "I saw you last time at the elevator accident. Lawyer Han on the top floor, right? Sorry to bother you!"

Han Tao shook hands with the man and said, "Hello, what's going on? Why is there such a commotion so late at night?"

The property staff also hurriedly greeted him: "Sorry, Mr. Han, for disturbing your rest."

"Lawyer Han, I'm so sorry. I don't want to disturb the neighbors!"

The male owner bowed slightly before continuing to explain to Han Tao, "You don't know, there was a water leak upstairs last night, and in the morning I found that the roof of my bathroom was soaked and damaged.

I called the property management, and they said the tenants in room 2202 weren't home during the day, so I came over at night to argue with them, but they wouldn't open the door!

"Oh, I understand. But making a scene like this won't solve the problem. If you have anything to say, you can talk it out, right?"

Hearing Han Tao say this, the male owner couldn't help but say, "Lawyer Han, we also want to talk things over nicely, but the tenant in this house doesn't think so. She came up and started arguing with my wife, and she didn't even admit her fault. Isn't that infuriating?"

"Sir, I understand what you mean, and I can see that you are a reasonable man."

Han Tao comforted the other party for a few words, and then continued: "I think that even if there is a leak in the house, it is because the bathroom waterproofing is not done well.

So, you shouldn't contact the tenant about this issue at all, but let the property contact the owner as soon as possible.

If the owner had come forward to communicate, it wouldn't have been so troublesome. After all, 2202 are three little girls who have never experienced anything like this. It's normal for them to be a little scared and not dare to open the door."

Hearing Han Tao say this, the male owner said a little embarrassedly: "Lawyer Han is too polite, just ask me to cross the hill.

Listening to what you said, it makes sense, but you can't curse at a little girl, we just want to see what's going on."

When Qiu Yingying heard the male owner say this and saw Han Tao through the peephole, she felt reassured and opened the door and said,

"Brother Han, I didn't curse first, it was his wife who cursed first, and she looked down on us who rented the house."

Hearing Qiu Yingying's words, the male owner became emotional again. Han Tao could only signal her to be silent, then looked at him:

"Mr. Guo, it's not worth it for you to argue with a little girl. Let's focus on solving the problem."

The male owner adjusted his mentality, nodded and said, "Do your best, I'm not angry, and we're not here to quarrel, let's just solve the problem.

That was actually our initial intention, to find the problem first, but they kept denying it and wouldn't let the property management team in to inspect it."
