Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

Looking at Han Tao's calm demeanor, Wang Hui, president of Hongyuan Group, finally couldn't help but say, "Lawyer Han, you're truly amazing and a young and promising man. But do you think the evidence you've provided will really win the case?"

Han Tao smiled slightly, took a sip of tea slowly, and then replied, "Boss Wang, you may have misunderstood. What I want is for your business partners to see that Hongyuan is not a very good partner.

Over the years, you have copied many people's ideas and designs. As long as someone puts this matter aside until next year instead of letting it drop due to money or other factors, that's fine.

So, actually, from the very beginning, I never thought I would definitely win this case at trial, but have you ever thought that even if Jingyan doesn't win, we won't be considered a loser, what do you think?"

Looking at Han Tao with burning eyes, and Fan Jingang and others who were smiling beside him, Wang Hui fell silent, and his eyebrows twitched, showing his inner anger.

At this moment, the secretary next to Wang Hui received a message, then said a few words in his ear and showed the content to him and Jiang Yunsheng.

After a moment, Wang Hui exchanged glances with his legal advisor Jiang Yunsheng before speaking, "Lawyer Han, what exactly do you mean? Let's not beat around the bush and get straight to the point!"

"Lawyer Jiang, President Wang, it seems you've seen the report just now!"

After saying that, Han Tao reached out and took the tablet that Wendy handed over, then opened a content and placed it in front of Wang Hui and Jiang Yunsheng, smiling kindly:

"Then please take another look at this and make the right decision. Should we give up the Donghai projects and make corresponding compensation?

Or will you be abandoned by your partners and subsequent investors, causing turmoil in the Hongyuan business empire? Please weigh the pros and cons for yourselves!"

Wang Hui and Jiang Yunsheng gritted their teeth as they took the tablet, then clicked on the picture information and the audio information at the back and read them through.

Without waiting for Jiang Yunsheng to offer any suggestions, Wang Hui said with a ferocious expression, "Lawyer Han, where did you get these things?"

Han Tao smiled meaningfully at Wang Hui, then went straight to the point: "Boss Wang, you are all planning to dig up my past, don't you know my background?

So, it’s not difficult for me to get this thing. Although it will take some effort, it’s not impossible, right?

In fact, Lawyer Jiang should know that I can also obtain something even more valuable than this. The difference is just a price. But in my opinion, that would be better for everyone.

Of course, I also know that you have already made the arrangements. But I have to remind you two that I am not afraid to lose the trial in a few days, but Mr. Wang and the Hongyuan Group behind you absolutely cannot afford to win!

After saying that, Han Tao stood up and left the meeting room. Wendy and Chen Ran and others who had been responsible for following up on this case also followed Han Tao's steps and left, leaving them time and space.

Fan Jingang politely asked them to take a rest and said that Mr. Ye invited them to have lunch together and they would come over in twenty minutes.

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

Time passed quickly. A quarter of an hour later, the secretary of Wang Hui, president of Hongyuan Group, opened the door of the conference room and communicated with April who was waiting at the door, signaling her to ask Han Tao to come back to continue the discussion.

Wang Hui and Jiang Yunsheng continued to discuss the pros and cons in a low voice. What Han Tao had in his hand was too important, as it was related to the bad incident caused by the previous copyright issue.

Jiang Yunsheng also helped handle this matter, so he became Hongyuan's chief legal advisor. Furthermore, Wang Hui and Jiang Yunsheng put a lot of effort into suppressing this matter and settling it privately.

If the case is reopened, combined with the insider information in Han Tao's hands, even if Hongyuan Group wins the lawsuit, there is a high probability that its reputation will be ruined, and Wang Hui's decades of hard work will also be severely damaged.

So Wang Hui didn't dare to gamble, and Jiang Yunsheng had no choice in this situation either. Especially at this critical juncture, Wang Hui would only receive the investment from Singapore if Hongyuan Group's acquisition plan was successfully completed.

Only if Wang Hui's Hongyuan Group survives can Jiang Yunsheng, the legal advisor, obtain corresponding benefits.

In other words, Hongyuan Group's merger and acquisition plan is related to whether the company can break through the difficulties brought about by the financial crisis, and whether Hongyuan Group can go further.

The business world is like a battlefield. There are no eternal enemies or eternal partners, only eternal interests.

When Wang Hui is unable to continue to create benefits for shareholders, investors, and partners who trust him, all that awaits him will be exit and elimination.

Time passed minute by minute, and just when Wang Hui was about to lose his patience and the veins on his forehead began to bulge, Han Tao brought the team back to the meeting room.

Seeing this, Wang Hui stood up and stared at him, suppressing the anger in his heart, and slowly said: "Lawyer Han, you win. I accept the conditions you proposed and am willing to compensate Jingyan Group and the designer as required. Are you satisfied with this?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, I forgot to mention that due to some of your previous practices, the current terms and conditions have been slightly modified compared to the one I gave to Lawyer Jiang. I hope you can take another look at it."

After saying that, Han Tao signaled Chen Ran to give the new agreement to the other party, and the latter handed it over after understanding what he meant.

"Lawyer Han, are you sure there's nothing wrong with the agreement? You can't even call this extortion. This is just taking advantage of someone's misfortune, not robbery!"

Wang Hui looked at the two newly added conditions and the extra 50 million in compensation. His eyes turned red and he almost threw the document in Han Tao's face.

At this moment, Jiang Yunsheng, who was standing beside him, also looked at Han Tao in surprise, completely stunned by his generosity and ruthlessness. In his opinion, this was the end of the bargain.

If this agreement were to be followed, the group's major projects in Donghai would be split equally between Jingyan and Hongyuan. Furthermore, the land parcels that had been acquired with great effort would essentially be sold at a loss.

In this way, the compensation amount in the terms was doubled, which means that Hongyuan still has to pay 100 million yuan in compensation separately.

Han Tao looked at the other party calmly and said with a smile, "I dare not accept the charges that Mr. Wang has brought up. This is a matter of our mutual consent, and I will not force you.

And I think this is a win-win cooperation. Judging from the current overall situation, Jingyan’s intervention can be regarded as sharing risks with your company, so you will not suffer any loss!

As for the compensation, do you really think it's too high? For your previous irrational behavior, I made a special trip to Handong, and the price I paid was not small. Do you think what I'm asking for is too much?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the room became much quieter, and Wang Hui and Jiang Yunsheng stopped being silent.

Wang Hui, in particular, had indeed crossed the line by revealing his hand without consulting Jiang Yunsheng. This incident also gave him a new understanding of Han Tao's background, leading to his personal visit to negotiate.

After a long moment, Wang Hui, having weighed the pros and cons, frowned and nodded, "Okay, I agree. But I hope Lawyer Han will keep his promise and not hold Hongyuan Group hostage anymore."

After saying that, Wang Hui signed the document and handed it to Jiang Yunsheng. At the same time, he stood up and walked out with a dark face.

Jiang Yunsheng looked at Wang Hui's back, sighed helplessly, turned to Han Tao and said:

"Han Lu, I will continue the negotiations with you. Although Mr. Wang has agreed to these conditions, we also have two conditions.

First, you must guarantee that you will not sue Hongyuan Group again for the same reason. Furthermore, Lawyer Han, you cannot use the items in your hands as bargaining chips to once again file a claim against Hongyuan, nor can you initiate a new lawsuit based on them.

Second, let's just take a step back and understand each other. The previous unpleasantness was just Mr. Wang's momentary confusion, so don't pursue it any further. I apologize to you on his behalf. I'm sorry, Lawyer Han!"

"No problem. I accept Lawyer Jiang's apology. For your sake, this matter is over. However, I have something else to do here. My secretary and Lawyer Chen Ran will accompany you to complete the following work. Excuse me!"

After saying that, Han Tao took the initiative to shake hands with Jiang Yunsheng, and then left the meeting room of Jingyan Group's service department. He left the follow-up matters to Chen Ran and Wendy to handle.

However, when Han Tao walked out of the law firm, he found that Wang Hui's secretary had not left yet and was waiting for him downstairs.

Seeing Han Tao come out, the other party smiled and said, "Lawyer Han, you really live up to your reputation. I've experienced it today!"

Han Tao smiled slightly. "You're welcome. Secretary Liang, please speak frankly. Does President Wang have any new instructions?"

Wang Hui's secretary stared at Han Tao with a professional smile on his face. "I don't deserve your advice. President Wang wanted me to ask you if you would like to join our Hongyuan Group and become our Chief Legal Officer."

Han Tao shook his head decisively. "Secretary Liang, thank President Wang for his kindness. However, I won't be serving as legal counsel for two rival companies simultaneously, let alone the Chief Legal Officer."

"Are you really not going to consider it? Mr. Wang promised that you can ask for any salary and conditions. As long as Mr. Wang can give it, he will not be stingy."

"If it doesn't concern me, I'll just mess things up. Mr. Wang might have overlooked one point. Besides being the Chief Legal Officer of Jingyan Group, I'm also a director of Jingyan Group. So, Secretary Liang, do you think I'd become my own opponent?"

After saying that, Han Tao said goodbye and left with a smile, leaving Secretary Wang Hui there with an embarrassed look on his face.

Previously, they were focused on not delaying the merger and acquisition plan and figuring out how to defeat Han Tao, the lawyer. Later, they were surprised by his background and skills, so when they recruited him, they overlooked the fact that he was also a shareholder of Jingyan.

Chapter 439 Accompanying Guan Juer to Meet Her Parents

Because the two children had a showdown with their parents, after the two families had a simple lunch, Guan Juer followed her parents to send Zhang Wenhao and his parents downstairs to the restaurant.

Because her son told her that he had someone he liked, Zhang Wenhao's mother felt a little embarrassed, so after some greetings and farewells, Zhang Wenhao and the other two got in the car and left.

Guan Juer breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the parking lot not far away, and was about to send a message when her cell phone rang.

The caller ID showed Han Tao. She hurried to the side and answered, "Brother Han, are you done?"

Han Tao's voice came from the other end of the line: "Guan Guan, I'm sorry to have kept you and your uncle and aunt waiting for so long. I'll be there soon!"

Guan Juer hurriedly said, "Brother Han, I'm the one who should be sorry. Don't worry, I'll be waiting for you at the door!"

"Okay, see you later!"

"Well, I'll see you later, Brother Han!"

After hanging up the phone, Guan Juer walked towards her parents, then hugged her mother's arm and whispered coquettishly, "Mom, Brother Han is here. Today's situation is already rude enough. When we meet later, please don't ask any more questions."

Guan Juer's mother rolled her eyes at her and said, "Alright, you've only just achieved this. I know my limits. But I'm telling you, if he can get past this hurdle, I'll help you. Otherwise, give up on him as soon as possible. If you keep thinking about him, I'll lose face!"

"Mom, please don't do anything rash, otherwise... otherwise I will ignore you!"

"You silly girl, you haven't done anything yet, but your elbow is already turned outward, right?"

Seeing his daughters whispering, Guan's father couldn't help but complain, "What are you two whispering about? Now that you've finished your meal, don't stand at the door. Hurry and leave. I have an appointment to discuss something this afternoon!"

"Why are you leaving? Guan Guan's neighbor is coming over and will be here soon. Go back quickly and tell the waiter to change the table of dishes so that they don't have any bad misunderstandings!"

Hearing his wife's words, Guan's father hurriedly said, "I told you not to worry about it. Seeing two boys in one day, what's the big deal? If they see the leftovers on the table, I won't know what to think. This is just nonsense!"

Hearing this, Guan Juer's mother glared at her and said, "Stop, stop causing trouble. If you have time to nag me here, you might as well go back and make arrangements!"

"Okay, okay, okay, I won't say anything more. Let my daughter delay here for a while. You come back with me to take a look."

Guan's father nodded helplessly, then pulled his wife back.

Guan Juer's mother turned around and said, "Guan Guan, your father and I will go back to order food. You guys chat for a while and don't rush up!"

"I know, Mom. Brother Han's car is coming. Hurry up!"

After saying that, Guan Juer ran down the stairs and ran towards the BMW 7 Series that was parked at the door of the restaurant.

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

Seeing Guan Juer coming, Han Tao did not rush to get out of the car. Instead, he asked her to sit in the back seat, and then asked the driver to park the car in the parking lot nearby.

Guan Juer looked at him with some doubt and asked, "Brother Han, aren't we going in?"

"Guan Guan, are you sure you want to go in now?"

Han Tao patted the front seat. The driver immediately understood and got out to chat with Yang Dongxu before continuing, "Those who were standing at the door with you just now were your uncle and aunt, right? I think we should give them some time to get ready."

Hearing this, Guan Juer immediately understood that Han Tao already knew what had happened, so her face flushed and she quickly explained:

"I'm sorry, Brother Han, my parents just introduced me to a blind date without my consent. His name is Zhang Wenhao, and he graduated from a 211 Project University.

Originally, I knew it was a blind date, so I didn't plan to continue the conversation. However, the other party's parents are friends with my father and were also their former colleagues, so it was hard to refuse.

"Silly girl, what is there to apologize for? You are working now. It is normal for your parents to be anxious to arrange a blind date for you. Don't be embarrassed!" Han Tao smiled slightly and couldn't help teasing her.

Hearing this, Guan Juer's face turned even redder, and she whispered, "But I don't like them arranging blind dates for me, especially without my consent.

So I've made it clear to Zhang Zihao, and I've also told my mother that I have someone I like, and asked her not to arrange any more blind dates."

Seeing her expression, Han Tao wanted to tease her even more, so he raised his lips to a wicked smile and asked, "So our Guan Guan already has someone she likes? Who is so lucky to be favored by the gentle and lovely Ms. Guan Juer?"

But that's normal. A girl as nice as you must have many admirers. So, shouldn't I come? Or I should leave, or I'll be misunderstood by uncles and aunts!"

"Brother Han, don't leave!"

Guan Juer subconsciously grabbed Han Tao's arm, then whispered in a very low voice: "I told my mother...that the person I like is you. So, Brother Han, you have to help me one more time, help me deal with my mother..."

Before she finished speaking, her face turned red, and even her neck was flushed. She looked shy and particularly endearing.

"Guan Guan, is this really to deal with uncle and aunt?"

Han Tao looked at the blushing Guan Juer and asked a question in return. Then he sighed with pretended regret, "Alas! I was so happy for nothing. I thought Guan Guan, you really liked me, but it turned out to be a false alarm!"

“No, I am… I…”

Halfway through her words, Guan Juer suddenly reacted and quickly covered her mouth with her hands, feeling that her face was as if she had a fever.

Seeing that she was blushing and speechless, Han Tao stopped teasing her. He understood the principle of "too much is as bad as too little", so he smiled and said:

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this topic for now. We can talk about it when you want to. Let's go in. I guess uncle and auntie are already ready."

"Ok!"

Guan Juer nodded, then breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Han Tao who was opening the door and getting out of the car.

If she were to be honest, Guan Juer felt that the handsome Han Tao was the most handsome, richest and most elegant man she had ever met.

Although my mother had some concerns before, she felt that after getting to know him, my parents and all the aunts and uncles in the family would definitely be satisfied with and like Brother Han.

After all, in addition to the above advantages, Han Tao also has very strong personal abilities and a high degree from Handong University.

The most important thing is family background. Han Tao's grandfather is a senior leader of an old state-owned enterprise, and his grandmother is a retired university professor, which perfectly meets his parents' requirements.

However, Guan Juer felt a little inferior and worried whether the man she liked, Brother Han, would like her. After all, she only graduated from an ordinary university and her appearance was not outstanding. She was not as pretty as Sister Fan and Sister Ao Andi.

In fact, Guan Juer herself doesn’t know that most men are willing to date a girl like her and want to marry her home because she is very suitable to be a wife and can be said to be suitable for both family and home.

Moreover, most parents also like girls like Guan Juer because she is a good candidate for a wife. She is gentle, quiet, elegant, and has a kind temperament.

It can be said that if the five beauties from Ode to Joy were thrown into the blind date market, the most competitive one would definitely not be Andy and Qu Xiaoxiao, but Guan Juer.

Chapter 440 Mother-in-law visits son-in-law

After entering the private room, Guan Juer walked over to her parents and introduced them, "Dad, Mom, he's Han Tao. You guys talked on the phone before. It was Brother Han who arranged for a driver to bring me here at noon."
