Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

Chapter 665: Angry Qu Yaojing

The Magic City truly displays its charm after dark. When night falls, the major buildings on both sides of the Bund lose their daytime bustle and begin to change their lights, exuding a unique charm everywhere.

Landmark buildings such as the Oriental Pearl Tower, The Bund 18, and Nanjing East Road Pedestrian Street are decorated with colorful lights and are particularly attractive.

Citizens and tourists who had finished their dinner also came from all directions, strolling along the Bund, enjoying the scenery, taking photos, and walking around as if immersed in a dream world, enjoying the night of this city.

The subways under the city are like cruising dragons, packed with people returning home. In the dim light, everyone's tired body is reflected and projected onto the window glass, dancing and jumping as the subway moves.

In fact, only at this time can people who have been busy all day finally calm down and do what suits them without restraint according to their mood.

Outside the Pullman car window, scenes of brightly lit night scenes flashed by. Han Tao was immersed in the vast twilight night scene. He temporarily put aside the affairs of the law firm and thought about the future path.

As the stall grew bigger and bigger, and there were more and more brothers and women around him, his thoughts grew bigger and bigger.

The two foreign security companies were part of Han Tao's plan, because after he decided to finish what he wanted to do, he began to look around the world, hoping to find a place to settle down.

Thinking of this, he took out his phone, called Yang Dongxu, and instructed: "Dongxu, domestic security companies must speed up their pace and at least cover all first-tier cities.

As for Yadong, they've already established themselves, and we need to seize this opportunity to expand to our planned scale. Please provide more support, both in terms of manpower and funding. If you have any difficulties, please contact Wendy directly, or give me a call."

Hearing Han Tao's words, Yang Dongxu on the other end of the phone responded excitedly, "Boss, why don't I go over and help Dongzi and the others? Xiwa and the others are watching over us at home anyway. I promise to cooperate with Dongzi and develop VICT (Victory) Security Company and Victory (Conquer) Security Company into a security company like Blackwater!"

Hearing Yang Dongxu's high expectations for VICT and Victory Security, Han Tao couldn't help but laugh.

"Then you'll have to redouble your efforts. Blackwater is not as simple as it appears. Just the headquarters and personnel and equipment issues are enough to give you a headache."

"Of course I understand this, but I want to give it a try. I've also discussed this with my fellow comrades, and we have a preliminary plan. If it goes well, I'll report back to you. If not, just pretend I never said anything."

"Okay, since you have this confidence, I will definitely support you. As long as you strike a balance and don't harm national interests, go ahead and do it."

"Understand, once a leader, always a leader. We are ready to sacrifice for our country at any time. Even if our brothers are abroad, as long as the boss and the old leader say a word, we are not afraid of sacrifice and will go through fire and water!"

"What a bullshit! We are living in a harmonious society now. We should stop talking about fighting and killing all the time. Besides, what is the purpose of establishing a security company?

It is to prevent domestic companies from being bullied abroad, to protect the weak, and to fill the world with love and peace. "In the future, please refrain from saying anything that is detrimental to unity."

"I see. It was a slip of the tongue. We all want to make the world full of love and peace. Boss, you are truly a wise man!"

"Get lost, I'm using you to give me a nice guy card, just hang up now!"

Seeing Han Tao laughing and scolding Yang Dongxu on the other end of the phone, Wang Xiaodong and Guan Xiaofan glanced at the boss through the rearview mirror, feeling mixed emotions.

Especially Guan Xiaofan, although she had not been there for long, she rolled her eyes as she knew some inside information, because they did not know whether it was for peace or not, but Han Tao was indeed a "universal" person.

Apart from complaining in his heart, Wang Xiaodong was more concerned about calling his comrades and asking them to take advantage of the expansion opportunity to join their comrades and foreign security companies according to their own circumstances and wishes, even if they were branches of the domestic head office, such as Fenghuo and Ambition.

In this way, Wang Xiaodong drove towards the destination while thinking. Twenty minutes later, Han Tao's Maybach Pullman stopped in front of the MINT bar.

As Guan Xiaofan walked into the gate, deafening music came into my ears, colorful lights shone in my eyes, and a group of men and women swayed to the rhythm of the music.

While searching for Gu Jia, several scantily clad girls saw Han Tao's handsome appearance and extraordinary temperament, and planned to approach him to chat with him. Some of the bolder ones even planned to make a move on him, but they were all stopped by Guan Xiaofan.

Looking at these girls who were at most 22 or 23 years old, Han Tao couldn't help but sigh that these girls didn't know how to take care of themselves. They didn't study hard at such a good age. It really showed that the world was going downhill and people's hearts were no longer as they used to be.

At the same time, Gu Jia was drinking whiskey at the bar, with two men beside her. One of them was chatting with her, and the other was hugging two girls and swaying in the booth next to them.

On the dance floor, a girl in a suspender skirt was looking over there. After confirming again and again, she walked towards the booth angrily, completely losing the desire to continue dancing.

Her two best friends caught up with her. One of them sat next to the girl and asked, "Xiao Xiao, why did you suddenly come down when you were having so much fun?"

Qu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and pointed to a place not far away and said, "That Qu Lianjie over there, you didn't notice him? What a bummer! I haven't been out to play for a long time, and I looked up and saw him!"

Lan Lan looked in the direction of his hand and found that it was indeed Qu Lianjie. She curled her lips and said, "Why do you care about him? You could have let him go before, but now he's not even worthy of being your opponent. What's there to be angry about?"

"That's right, your brother is a complete idiot, why do you care about him? You still care about the little things your dad gave him!"

"That's right, ignore him, let's play our own game."

Another close friend, Xiaowen, also spoke up to echo Lanlan and the others, and added:

"But then again, Qu Lianjie must be really rubbish. Didn't he just get married? Why did he rescue him and bring two women with him?"

Qu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "It's true that enemies always come together. I rarely come out to have fun, but I actually ran into this unlucky brother.

Even though I no longer value our family's assets, they were created by my mom and dad, so I can't let him have them for free!"

"Since you said you don't like him, then don't worry about it. He is no longer on the same level as you."

Yao Bin, who was sitting on the sofa in the booth, tried to persuade Qu Xiaoxiao, but his friend just smiled and said:

"Xiao Xiao, don't say I don't give you information. I heard that Qu Lianjie just took 10 million from your father these days."

"I can prove this. Have you seen the person next to him who is dating his sister? He seems to be named Chen Fang or something. He and your brother have been very close recently. I heard that the two of them are going to Macau together to have fun!"

Another friend of Yao Bin saw Qu Xiaoxiao frowning and thought she didn't believe it, so he also made up for it.

Hearing this, Qu Xiaoxiao put down her wine glass and said loudly, "What did you say? This is impossible. I had dinner with my dad yesterday, and I didn't hear that you gave him money again."

Yao Bin's friend responded confidently, "That's right. Qu Lianjie has been hanging out here every day these days. My friend was drinking with him, and he told Chen Fang himself. It's absolutely correct."

"Oh, let's not talk about this anymore, let's drink!"

Seeing Qu Xiaoxiao's embarrassed expression, Lan Lan interrupted her friend and changed the subject: "But speaking of which, that guy named Chen Fang is much more handsome than Qu Lianjie.

And judging by his clothes, he must be from a well-off family. He hangs out with your brother, so whose son is he? Why haven't I seen him before?"

"Don't worry about this Chen Fang. He's Jiang Lai's boyfriend. Although his abilities are average, he's pretty good at fooling Jiang Lai. Don't make trouble for yourself!"

"No wonder he's like a gigolo. I'm not interested in that kind of thing. My sister has someone else in her heart."

"Oh, Lanlan is actually planning to return home. The sun is rising from the west. I'm really curious about who is so awesome! My goddess is about to fly away. I must meet her if I have the chance!"

Also, why has Xiao Xiao changed so much? Didn't she come back to fight with Qu Lianjie for the family fortune? Why do you say she doesn't care anymore? Did anything interesting happen during my absence?"

"If you don't want to die miserably, just go ahead and give it a try. The person our Lanlan likes is not from our circle. As for Xiaoxiao's matter, let me tell you in detail!"

Yao Bin patted his friend who had just returned to China, and then, in the other's surprised eyes, he leaned over to talk about their recent changes, including why Qu Xiaoxiao no longer looked down on the family property.

Chapter 666 Finding Gu Jia

Because she was distracted by her friends' conversation, Qu Xiaoxiao no longer wanted to continue. She drank the wine in her glass in one gulp and stood up.

"No more playing, you guys keep drinking, I'm leaving first, let's get together another day, I'll make the arrangements!"

Seeing this, Lan Lan grabbed Qu Xiaoxiao and asked, "Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you? You finally came out and it's still early. If you get angry because of a fool, it's not worth it."

Qu Xiaoxiao shook her head: "I'm not in the mood anymore. I'm going home to complain. No matter how much money it is, it's my mom and dad's joint property. Why should he squander it?

"And my dad is so biased. He actually gave Qu Lianjie money behind our backs, and he gave him 10 million. Isn't this just encroaching on my mom's share? I can't just stand by and watch."

After saying that, without letting her friends talk, she picked up her clothes and bag and walked out, as if she was going back to quarrel with her father Qu Datou.

"What are you doing, Xiao Xiao? It's not something urgent. Let's talk about it tomorrow!"

"Yeah, I'm just playing around, Xiaoxiao. Anyway, it's already happened, it doesn't matter if it happens a day earlier or later."

"No, you guys go ahead and have fun. I can't wait until tomorrow morning to have this feeling. Otherwise, I won't have any fun. I'm leaving!"

"Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao......"

Seeing Qu Xiaoxiao walking out without looking back and not trying to stop her, Yao Bin couldn't help but punched his buddy on the shoulder and complained:

"Old Wang, why are you so rude? Why did you bring this up..."

"Why did you hit me? I didn't say anything. I think you were the one who brought it up first, right?"

"Stop talking nonsense and just drink!"

"Yes, drink it. Who told you to bring up something irrelevant?"

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

At the same time, Han Tao had found Gu Jia and saw her sitting at the bar drinking, with a man in a suit next to her chatting her up.

Walking over, he saw that her face was already red from drinking, but she was still drinking in big gulps. Han Tao directly snatched the wine glass and said:

"Manni and Xiaoqin are worried sick at home. Stop drinking and come back with me!"

Gu Jia glanced at Han Tao with drunken eyes and struggled: "I'm not going back. I want to drink. You go accompany Manni and Xiaoqin. Leave me alone!"

"Don't drink here, we have wine at home. Let's go back and drink with Manni and the others. Drink as much as you want!"

After saying that, Han Tao pulled Gu Jia up and planned to take her out of the bar.

"I'm not going back. I'm going to drink here. You're not related to me, so why should you care about me?"

Hearing Gu Jia say this, the man in the suit next to her turned his head and said,

"Sir, since this lady is willing to go with you, you'd better not force her!"

Looking for the voice and looking at the man in a suit, it turned out to be Jiang Lai's current boyfriend Chen Fang. This pretty boy who relied on fooling women did not stay with his financial sponsor, but instead went to the bar to pick up girls, which really surprised Han Tao.

At this time, Chen Fang also saw Han Tao's appearance clearly. Although they had only met once, Han Tao left a deep impression on him. There were two reasons for this. One was the attitude of Jiang Lai and Jiang Haokun when they took him to meet Han Tao. The other was that Longi recently had a real estate project in Shenzhen and was cooperating with Jiang Group, and he was one of the persons in charge.

"Hello, Mr. Han. I didn't expect to meet you here. I also didn't expect this lady to be your friend. I'm so sorry."

Without waiting for Han Tao to speak, Chen Fang apologized and introduced himself to Han Tao: "I'm Chen Fang, the boyfriend of Jiang Lai, the eldest daughter of the Jiang Group. We met in Kyoto before, do you remember?"

Seeing the other party extend his hand, Han Tao politely shook it and said, "What a coincidence! I didn't expect to see Mr. Chen here. Why are you here alone? Isn't Miss Jiang with you?"

In fact, Han Tao doesn't like people like Chen Fang very much, because he is a love cheater. Including his first love Zoe, who is Wang Manni's colleague and best friend, Chen Fang has defrauded money from four women.

Even if he is dating Jiang Lai now, it is only to defraud the Jiang family of their money, not because he truly loves her. In particular, Chen Fang's way of speaking is very frivolous and he lacks any sincerity.

Generally speaking, when people who are not very familiar with each other meet, "I am so-and-so" and "my name is so-and-so" have completely different meanings. "My name is so-and-so" means establishing an equal acquaintance, which appears humble and polite. It also means introducing your name to the other person and deepening their impression.

If I say "I am so-and-so", it means that you are already familiar with my name. Now that I am revealing my identity, it is somewhat unequal and arrogant.

You should know that only very famous people or leaders are qualified to use "I am" to emphasize their identity when speaking to strangers or subordinates they are not particularly familiar with.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that ordinary people can’t use “I am”. In an environment that we are more familiar with, such as a company, everyone works together, and even people in different departments may have heard of your name. At this time, it just serves as an emphasis.

Because the purpose is only one, that is to attract everyone's attention to you and the importance of what you are going to say. Another situation is when you are in a familiar environment and meet people who want to integrate into the group.

You can also use the word "I" because sometimes it expresses a sense of ownership.

It is said that Chinese characters are profound and extensive. If you have time, you must understand and appreciate them well, because if you are not careful with your language, the meaning you want to express will be very different.

"Are you two annoying? One of you has been nagging me all night. I've been fed up with you for a long time. You're dressed like a fool, but you keep fiddling with your car keys. You think you're driving an Aston Martin?

Don't think I didn't hear it. The guy with you is a idiot rich second-generation. You bought this car with your own money. You don't even know that you cheated that woman out of it. What's there to show off?

Having been exposed in front of others, Chen Fang did not care about what Han Tao really wanted to say, and subconsciously retorted:

"You're a middle-aged woman, going to a bar to get drunk in the middle of the night, and you look like you're dying. Your husband must be having an affair, or he's divorced and doesn't want you anymore."

Hearing Chen Fang say this about herself, Gu Jia, who was stimulated, shouted, "What did you say? Say it again if you have the guts!"

Looking at the drunk Gu Jia, Chen Fang, who had seen countless women, was full of disdain: "What's wrong with me saying it again? Just because of your mouth, if I were your husband and had a mistress, I would divorce you too!"

"You are my husband, but you are just a gigolo. Bah..."

Listening to the two people's bickering, and then looking at the sports car keys on the bar, Han Tao almost laughed out loud. Some superficial women might be captivated by a sports car key, but Gu Jia was definitely not one of them.

And what she said was indeed the truth. This silver-gray sports car really did not belong to Chen Fang, but to Jiang Lai. So Han Tao interrupted the two of them and said directly to Chen Fang:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, she's drunk and not in her right mind, please don't argue with her.

We happened to meet today and we should have a drink together, but you saw her situation, so I'm leaving now. We'll see each other some other day!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Han, I just spoke too hastily without thinking. Please bear with me!"

"Mr. Chen, you're welcome. My friend drank too much. That's it. Bye!"

"Okay, then I will definitely visit Mr. Han someday. I hope he doesn't dislike me then!"

"Mr. Chen, you're joking. I always welcome you to visit me. See you later."

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

Chapter 667 Meeting Qu Xiaoxiao at the Bar Entrance

After leaving the bar, Han Tao finally let go of Gu Jia, who was looking reluctant. Gu Jia looked at him with a feeling of grievance and said,

"Han Tao, didn't you hear what that guy said about me? He wanted to seduce me, but you couldn't see it? You didn't even help me. Are you still a man?"

"Whether I am a man or not, you will know after you try it."

Han Tao glanced at the aggrieved Gu Jia, then said unhappily, "How dare you cry? Who can you blame for having to come to a place like this?
