Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

Han Tao looked at her with an expression of understanding and admiration, and nodded with a smile, saying, "Yes, you are quite smart. Once you have figured it out, go ahead and get busy. If you have any questions, come and ask me!"

"Okay, Mr. Han, I'll go help out at the legal aid office. If you need anything, just call me. I'll be there in five minutes."

"Well, go ahead. Tell Liu Fang that I asked you to go there to learn. Although the cases at the legal aid department are small, you can gain more experience!"

"Thank you, Mr. Han!"

He Xingfu got Han Tao's approval, nodded happily, then put new tea for him and left the office.

Chapter 489

The sun was setting, and Han Tao, who had just finished work, sent Guan Juer back to Ode to Joy. On the way, he told her that he would be on a business trip for a few days.

Guan Juer, who was in love, naturally didn't want to leave, but after Han Tao's comfort, she still said reluctantly that she was waiting for Han Tao to come back and said that she wanted to give him a surprise.

Seeing her innocent and cute look, Han Tao pinched Guan Juer's little face, then said with a smile: "Guan Guan, then I will give you a surprise first. Close your eyes, and open them when I say it's okay!"

"Hmm!" Guan Juer thought he was going to kiss her, because that's what they show on TV, so her little face turned red.

Looking at her expectant expression, Han Tao grinned and reached out to unbutton the first two buttons of her shirt.

After Guan Ju'er felt his movement, her breath became short of breath. She didn't know whether to stop her, after all, her mother repeatedly emphasized that she couldn't hand herself over easily, but she was afraid that if she refused, her elder brother Han would be angry.

He noticed that Guan Juer was in a state of embarrassment and a little hurriedly, and her breathing was as sweet as orchid. She clenched her hands together and closed her eyes even tighter.

Han Tao knew that Guan Juer was very nervous at the moment, so he stopped teasing her. Instead, he took out a necklace from his pocket, helped her put it on her neck, and said with a smile:

"Guan Guan, you can open your eyes now!"

Guan Juer realized that Han Tao was wearing a necklace around her neck, and felt the cool touch on her skin. She opened her eyes and looked down, and a dazzling diamond came into view.

Seeing her face full of joy, but showing some hesitation, Han Tao directly grabbed her waist, kissed her and said:

“Diamonds represent different meanings, and each diamond has unique properties. Each of its cut faces represents different meanings, just like love.

So this diamond necklace is the crystal of love, it embodies brilliance, glittering, and translucence. You cannot refuse it. Now you just need to tell me, do you like it?

"Yes, I like it!"

Guan Juer nodded happily and touchedly. Every girl fantasizes that her love can be romantic and that her true love can be expressed in romance, especially girls like her in their teenage years.

Seeing that she was immersed in the emotion, Han Tao couldn't help but lower his head and whisper a few words in Guan Juer's ear, which made her blush and kiss her actively.

Even women who have experienced many relationships will look forward to romance, so appropriate romance can strengthen the relationship between each other and make both parties more loving.

After a long time, the black Pullman slowly stopped at the entrance of the community. Han Tao also ended his wanton enjoyment of the girl's red lips, helped her tidy up her clothes, opened the door and walked her down the driveway:

"Guan Guan, although I have to go on a business trip these few days, I will ask the driver to pick you up and drop you off every day. If you miss me, just call or send me a message. I will reply to you as soon as I see it!"

"Well, I wish Brother Han good luck in his work. Take care of yourself on your business trip. I'm going back!"

Guan Juer nodded, then walked towards the community, looking back every few steps and waving goodbye as she walked.

Han Tao also waved his hand and watched her walk into the community. Then he told Yang Dongxu to drive to Grand Hyatt Residence. Wang Manni sent him a message this afternoon saying that Gu Jia wanted to treat them to dinner and asked Han Tao to go if he had time.

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

Forty minutes later, Han Tao arrived at his destination, but he did not go directly to the residence in Grand Hyatt Mansion. Instead, he walked into the Missia store. He had not come to see Wang Manni since she got promoted. If he had time today, he would pick her up and take her back together.

After entering the store, before Han Tao could ask Wang Manni, a young and beautiful female salesperson came to greet him and said with a smile:

"Hello, sir, welcome to Misia. What would you like to see?"

Hearing this, Han Tao glanced around. He saw that Wang Manni and Zoe, who he knew well, were not there. He turned to look at the saleswoman and asked:

"Excuse me, is Wang Manni here?"

Looking at Han Tao, who was dressed in a low-key and luxurious manner, the saleswoman secretly estimated his spending level and smiled:

"The deputy store manager is out with other sales staff to meet with a major client, so they might not be back for a while. I'm Dai Qing, the new sales manager. If you need anything, I'm here to help!"

"It's okay. Since Manny is busy, I'll just wait for her in the VIP room for a while. You can go ahead and do your work!"

This answer made Dai Qing very depressed. Not to mention the top-notch custom-made clothes Han Tao was wearing from head to toe, even the watch that was visible when he looked at the time was worth a million.

From this, Dai Qing could see that Han Tao was definitely a rare and big client, and it would be a pity for her if she just left it alone.

But she didn't dare to be too deliberate, otherwise if she made the other party unhappy and complained about her, that would be really tragic. After all, she came to see the deputy store manager Wang Manni.

But Dai Qing was unwilling to give up just like that. After all, she was sent by the headquarters and was supposed to replace the deputy store manager. It was impossible for her to be promoted directly because Wang Manni was promoted to supervisor.

But she didn't know what happened or where the problem was. Someone from above gave the order to let the two of them compete for this position. In the end, she didn't even beat Wang Manni, so she held back her energy to prove that she was better than her.

Of course, she wouldn't openly make things difficult for Wang Manni, so after thinking it over, she smiled charmingly and continued to argue:

"Sir, how about this? You're bored just waiting around. I'd like to introduce you to some new arrivals in the store, things only VIPs like you can see. Is that okay with you?"

Han Tao did not answer, but looked at Dai Qing, knowing that she was making a final effort. Although this woman was slightly inferior to Wang Manni in appearance, she was young and energetic, shrewd and sophisticated, and much more insightful than Wang Manni.

Seeing that Han Tao had not expressed his opinion for a long time, Dai Qing looked at him expectantly. In her opinion, although she was not sure what the relationship between Han Tao and Wang Manni was, such a powerful male client was able to wait for her to come back and have such a close relationship with her, and he didn't care about the things between men and women.

Thinking of this, Dai Qing was still confident in her charm, especially since she had returned from studying in France and had worked at the Hong Kong headquarters. This kind of situation was not uncommon.

Therefore, Dai Qing knew very well that a big client like Han Tao could not be tied down by one or two women. Although she was not very familiar with Wang Manni, through a few days of contact, she had already seen Wang Manni's character and roughly knew what kind of person she was.

Especially in the past few days, there was always a man named Liang Zhengxian looking for her. From the conversation between the two and the reminders to Wang Manni by other people in the store, Dai Qing could see that Wang Manni fantasized about being glorious and respectable, and also had the ambition and vanity to get a ticket to the upper class.

But judging from her experience, Wang Manni said that she had a pursuit if it sounded good, and she was arrogant if she said it badly, but she was the maidservant's life, and she couldn't figure it out.

So she wanted to win over Wang Manni's clients, especially Han Tao. After all, facing such a young and wealthy man is better than facing those middle-aged greasy uncles.

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

Chapter 490 Gu Jia Invites

Just as Dai Qing was pondering this, Wang Manni's voice rang out from behind Han Tao: "Daisy, he's my boyfriend. Go ahead and do your thing. I'll take care of him!"

After saying that, Wang Manni walked to Han Tao, put her arms around his, then looked at Dai Qing with a smile, her eyes full of warnings and a declaration of sovereignty.

Hearing this, Dai Qing looked at Han Tao in surprise, then at Wang Manni, and could only say with confusion and helplessness:

"Okay, I'll go and greet other guests then."

"Ok!"

Watching Dai Qing walk away, Wang Manni couldn't help but jealously pinched Han Tao's waist and said, "Still looking at me? I can't take my eyes off you if I keep looking at you!"

Hearing this, Han Tao retracted his gaze and looked at the pouting Wang Manni, teasing her, "Why, this director who was parachuted in from headquarters is not only competing with you for the deputy store position, but also works efficiently and is young and beautiful, so you are jealous of her?"

"I'm not jealous of her. Even though she's pretty good, I was the winner in the end!"

After glaring at Han Tao, Wang Manni still seemed a little depressed and said sarcastically:

"But you're right about one thing. Daisy is young and beautiful. She studied in France and speaks English and French. Compared to her, don't I look much worse? And I look much older, don't I?"

Seeing Wang Manni's frustrated and jealous face, Han Tao pinched her nose, then smiled and lowered his head and whispered:

"Small-sighted, I was just teasing you. Don't underestimate yourself. You're not even thirty yet, so why are you saying you're old? In my opinion, it tastes better when it's perfectly ripe!"

"Pooh!"

Hearing Han Tao's dirty talk, Wang Manni couldn't help but spit and blushed, "You're so rude. This is my unit. If someone hears it, how can I face my subordinates?"

"Okay, then I'll get down to business. Deputy Manager Manny, please go and explain your work quickly, and then go home. Don't forget that Gu Jia is still waiting for us to come over."

"I know, I'm rushing back!"

After giving Han Tao a blank look, Wang Manni turned around and saw Zoe, Ada and others who were watching the show. Seeing that they were all laughing secretly, she couldn't help but blush and asked them to go and explain their work.

Han Tao sat alone drinking tea. After she arranged her work, the two left the Missia store and walked towards Grand Hyatt House arm in arm, whispering to each other as they walked.

After returning to the 20th floor, Wang Manni started to take a shower and change clothes. However, thinking of the problem she had just discovered in the store, she decided to punish Han Tao, so she wrapped a bath towel around Han Tao and pulled him into the bedroom, intending to let him know how powerful a thirty-year-old woman can be.

Until the lights came on, Wang Manni, who had been fooling around with Han Tao for an hour, looked at Han Tao with a sore body as he got up and put on his clothes. She was secretly angry in her heart. It was obviously this man who did the most work, so why was she the one who was exhausted every time?

At this time, the message alert sounded. Han Tao looked at his phone, then stroked Wang Manni's back and reminded her with a smile:

"Hurry up and get up. Gu Jia sent a message saying she's waiting for us downstairs."

"Why don't you go by yourself? I'm so tired!"

Wang Manni hid under the quilt, with only her head sticking out, and said, "Gu Jia is treating us to a meal to thank you for introducing clients to them and lending her money. It doesn't matter whether I go or not!"

Hearing her say this, Han Tao helped her choose a skirt from the closet, then sat down beside the bed and said:

"Stop making trouble and get up quickly. If you hadn't called, I wouldn't have time to eat with them. Do you think it's appropriate for you not to go?"

"Okay, then you go wait in the living room first and tell Gu Jia to wait for a while. I'll take a hot shower and then leave!"

After saying that, Wang Manni lifted the snow-white velvet quilt, stood up and walked into the bathroom.

Han Tao thought for a moment, then walked to the bathroom door and said, "Nini, speaking of borrowing money, I just wanted to talk to you. Gu Jia wants to take over a tea factory. Are you interested in investing? Or maybe you can call Zhong Xiaoqin and the three of you sisters can start a business together.

This way, you can gain more experience and learn a little bit, and it can also help you avoid losing your passion and feeling old before you even turn 30!

Hearing Han Tao say this, Wang Manni hesitated a little and said, "I'm willing to start a business with Gu Jia and the others, but I've only been selling luxury goods for so many years, and I've just started learning business management. Let's wait and see.

What's more, I have just been promoted to deputy store manager. I don't know if I can handle the business you plan to hand over to me, so don't be distracted.

But if Gu Jia's suggestion is feasible, your first suggestion is quite good, and as a shareholder, I can still agree with it!"

"That's right. It's like a mountain between two different fields. You should stick to your previous plan and study business management while going through Misia's position so that you won't be too overwhelmed when you take over."

Han Tao nodded, then handed her the towel and continued, "But don't make it too hard on yourself. Missia's Hong Kong headquarters is managed by professionals, and you will also participate as a director in the later stages.

Of course, if you can't stay idle, you'll have to take over the management of Modu or part of Zhenghe. If you're willing to work with the Gu family on the tea factory, it would be nice to invest in it as a shareholder."

"Okay, since Gu Jia hasn't started yet, I'll go talk to her after she's sorted things out!"

As she spoke, Wang Manni dried herself and took a hot bath. Her strength had recovered a lot, so she changed her clothes and went downstairs with Han Tao.

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

Downstairs at Junyue Mansion, seeing Wang Manni coming out of the elevator with Han Tao's arm around her, her face flushed with rosy pink, Gu Jia glanced at her playfully, then led Xu Huanshan towards the two of them and said,

"Han Tao, I'm so sorry to ask you to take time out of your busy schedule to accept our invitation!"

"Gu Jia, you and Manni are best friends, and we are also considered a family. Don't be polite. It's good to get together often. Don't make things so awkward!"

After all, without waiting for her to respond, Han Tao looked at Xu Huanshan at the side, and continued: "It's your old Xu who promised to invite me to drink, but there has been no news. Could it be that he doesn't like my friend?"

"Looking at what you said, I feel so ashamed. Actually, I'm afraid that you will look down on me!"

Xu Huanshan smiled awkwardly, then offered his hand and said, "How about this, when we get to the hotel I'll drink three glasses of wine as an apology. Speaking of which, we didn't have a great chat last time, and the drinking wasn't going well either, but a lot of your ideas have inspired me."

At this point, Xu Huanshan suddenly seemed to remember something and excitedly invited, "By the way, Mr. Yu is having a celebration at his Beijing Paradise this weekend. I've almost perfected the Blue Dream and added a lot of inspiration. If you're interested, you can take Manny to see it!"

"Okay, I just happened to be going over there to do something, I'll definitely go check it out when I'm done!"

Han Tao nodded slightly, and Wang Manni looked at Gu Jia and said, "Gu Jia, let's not go to any hotel. Ask Xiaoqin out. Let's find a lively place to get together and divert her attention. What do you think?"

"Okay, actually I don't like eating in big hotels either, it feels too formal. But Huanshan is worried that Han Tao won't be used to it, so we plan to go to Gray Whale, where they are famous for their Beef Wellington."

As Gu Jia spoke, she took out her phone to contact Zhong Xiaoqin. When she learned that she had gone to a gathering with colleagues because she was angry with Chen Yu, she walked aside and grumbled for a while before coming back and looking at Han Tao and Wang Manni and said:

"Manny, Han Tao, and Xiaoqin are having a dinner with colleagues at a barbecue restaurant, but it's almost over. Why don't we go there for a meal? She's mad at Chen Yu again today, so we can go see her!"

"Sure, I love barbecue the most, it's so crowded and lively there!"

Wang Manni nodded in agreement without waiting for Han Tao's answer, then shook his arm and said coquettishly:

"Tao, let's go eat some barbecue. Xiaoqin has only been undergoing a uterine cleaning for a few days. How can she be so careless about her health? Gu Jia and I will go and talk her out!"

"No problem, just send me the location and we'll go to Xiaoqin's place. Actually, I don't have that many requirements for food. It doesn't matter if it's a hotel, a special place, or a roadside stall, as long as it's clean and delicious!"

After saying that, Han Tao scratched Wang Manni's nose lovingly, then looked at Gu Jia, who understood and opened WeChat and forwarded the location of the barbecue restaurant sent by Zhong Xiaoqin.

"Okay, I've sent you the address, let's go now!"

"Well, let's go, I'll ask the driver to come over!"

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

Chapter 491: Little Puppy is Out

Half an hour later, Han Tao and Wang Manni were in one car, and Gu Jia and Xu Huanshan were in another. The four of them arrived at the barbecue restaurant where Zhong Xiaoqin was at the same time.

At this time, Zhong Xiaoqin was waiting at the door, followed by a grinning young boy who kept calling Zhong Xiaoqin "sister" like a green tea lover.

Wang Manni walked up to Zhong Xiaoqin with Han Tao on her arm, glanced at the attentive Zhong Xiaoyang, and said with a smile:
