"Guan Guan, there are two kinds of friends. One kind is friends who want to pursue careers and ideals together, gain more knowledge and experience, expand their network of contacts, and achieve mutual benefit.

The main purpose of interacting with this type of friends is very clear, which is to improve one's personal charm and social skills.

Although this way of making friends is considered utilitarian and hypocritical by some people, it does bring many benefits to our careers and lives.

Because in general, interactions between people are about exchanging interests. If there is no exchange of interests, even if you are very sincere, others will only treat you as an acquaintance.

This is the same as love between men and women. Both the body and the soul must be in harmony to achieve harmonious harmony. If there is only physical collision, such feelings will end when the new person appears.

But if there is only communication of souls but no physical contact, such feelings will be as bland as boiled water. How can such feelings be liked by people and will not last long.

So in today's society, if you want to establish real relationships with others, you have to think about what others need and what you can make up for them. In this way, you will be useful to others, and this is the core key to others' interactions with you.

The second type is close friends. It doesn’t matter how many such friends you have, two or three are enough because such friends need companionship and mutual support. This can be done like brothers and sisters, and some can even surpass brothers and sisters.

Such friends can give each other unconditional help, companionship and support. They will help you out of the haze when you are down, accompany you through your hangover when you are hurt, and help you with all their might when you need support.

The ultimate goal of this kind of friendship is not profit, but to ensure that when you or the other person needs you, they will appear by your side. When you are not needed, the relationship will not fade away, but will be there for you.

“Well, I understand, Brother Han!”

Nodding slightly, Guan Juer continued to ask as she walked out with Han Tao, "Then... then, Brother Han, do you have a lot of those friends with vested interests you mentioned?"

"Of course!"

Han Tao smiled and responded to Guan Juer, "You are different from me. To me, people who can help me make money are what we call friends with benefits.

This is like a well-known saying: there are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. For the sake of interests, friends may become enemies, and enemies may become friends.

As long as you don't cross the bottom line, friends will help each other, or it can be said to be equal exchange. If each other's chips are not willing to wait, the relationship will become indifferent.

Because if you can't sacrifice an equal amount of interests for others, don't expect them to sacrifice an equal amount or more of their own interests to help you. "

"This is too realistic..."

Guan Juer frowned, holding Han Tao's arm with one hand and holding her eyes with the other hand, and said:

"Brother Han, do you have any close friends? In your eyes, what kind of friends are Sister Andy and Sister Fan to you? How much value do I have in your eyes?"

Han Tao smiled calmly and said, "Guan Guan, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"Of course I want to hear the truth. Are you lying to me?"

"of course not!"

Han Tao stopped and gently stroked Guan Juer's nose, looking at her seriously and said:

"In my heart, the relationship between you and me cannot be measured by money, because if I don't love you, or you don't love me, then nothing I say will make any sense.

To me, you are priceless and unique. This feeling transcends money and friendship. Just like your feelings for me, how much money do you think can buy your eternal love for me?

"Of course, no amount of money can buy it!"

Guan Juer rolled her eyes at Han Tao, then coquettishly shook his arm and said, "Brother Han, my liking for you has nothing to do with money, and I will love you forever. But you are so outstanding, I really can't guarantee that you will love me forever!"

"Guan Guan, as long as your love remains unchanged, I will be with you for life, whether you are rich or poor, healthy or sick, and will protect you."

"Brother Han, my love for you will never change. You may not believe it, but when I first saw you, I secretly liked you in my heart, and I still remember all the kindness you showed me afterwards.

Especially on the night when I worked overtime very late, I saw that my colleagues all had their phones answered, but I was the only one standing at the door, lonely and desolate. No one could understand how sad I felt.

It was also that night that you went to the company to pick me up after get off work. The moment I saw you, I knew you were the one I had been looking for. My heart felt at home. The reason I didn't dare to confess my feelings was because I was afraid you would dislike me!

Guan Juer looked at Han Tao with red eyes, wiping her tears while speaking her true feelings. What Han Tao just said was the same as the wedding vows, and she was really moved.

Looking at the girl who was deeply moved, Han Tao smiled and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his fingers, and said to her in a playful tone, "Okay, it will look better if you cry again. My little fairy Guan Guan, please retract your magical powers!"

Hearing this, Guan Juer burst into laughter and rolled her eyes at Han Tao: "Hateful!"

"Guan Guan, now that we're here, I have something I need to discuss with you in advance."

"Why are you so serious? What's going on?"

"Guan Guan, I think you really need to think it over carefully. I'm very busy at work and I travel a lot, so I can't always be with you. Sometimes it's even inconvenient for me to answer your calls or reply to your messages. Can you accept this?

Of course, when I'm with you, I will do my best to accompany you and make you happy, because I will be happy only when you are happy."

"Well, I understand you, Brother Han!"

Hearing Han Tao's words, Guan Juer nodded, hugged his arms again and smiled:

"What you said is fine. I know you're busy with work, and sometimes you even have to attend social events and have affairs. Sister Fan has told me all this.

If you are working outside, I will wait for you at home. You don’t have to worry about me being lonely, because Yingying and Sister Fan will be with me at home.

As long as you promise me that you will spend more time with me when you have time, and you don’t have to give me expensive gifts all the time, and don’t let the driver pick me up and drop me off. I just need to follow Sister Andy to and from get off work.

You don't know, many of my colleagues are jealous of me now, and they gossip about me, saying that people like you won't be sincere to me, and maybe one day they won't like me anymore."

Seeing Guan Juer's worried look, Han Tao looked into her eyes and said seriously: "Guan Guan, you are my girlfriend. As long as you don't leave me on your own initiative, you will be my girlfriend for life.

As long as I don't agree, no one can take you away from me. I will take care of you for the rest of your life. Don't let anyone's words affect you. Remember?"

"Yeah, remember!"

Nodding slightly, Guan Juer looked at Han Tao with a smile on her face and said happily, "Don't worry, Brother Han, as long as you don't mind me being stupid, it doesn't mean you don't want me anymore. I will always be by your side, no matter life, old age, sickness or death, or poverty or wealth!"

"Okay, I'll remember what you said today. There will be no chance to regret it in the future!"

"No regrets, Brother Han, I will love you forever!"

"Silly girl, I will always love you!"

Chapter 683: The Almost Forgotten Equity Reward

After leaving the restaurant and getting on the Pullman waiting at the door, the two chatted for a few words. Guan Juer fell asleep quickly because she was a little tired.

Han Tao took a look, gently covered her with a thin blanket, then lowered the baffle and said to Wang Xiaodong:

"Xiaodong, I asked Xiwa to find out more about Dr. Xu's condition. Have you guys taken over this matter?"

"Boss, I've taken over this matter, and I've investigated the issues you asked me to investigate. Although it took some effort, it went smoothly.

This is also thanks to the fact that Dr. Xu's nanny is one of ours. The specific information will be transmitted in the next two days, and I will send it to your email when the time comes!"

"Well, tell the people watching over there to pay more attention and call me as soon as anything happens. I'll be there when I'm done with my work in the next few days."

"Got it, boss. Don't worry, I'll make sure to complete the mission!"

"Well, after the mission is over, I'll have Lina give everyone a bonus."

Han Tao nodded, closed his eyes and said, "I've been feeling a bit tired these past few days. I'll take a break. Call me when we get there."

"Okay, take a rest, boss!"

"Um……"

Han Tao hummed, lost in thought. He already had a basic understanding of Xu Li's situation, so he planned to talk to her about it in a few days. As for her concerns, Han Tao was well aware of them.

After investigation, it was found that Xu Li's family background was not simple. She was a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners and a military family. Her grandfather was over 90 years old this year. He was an old revolutionary soldier who had made many military achievements in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation. He had served as the director of the political department and the dean of a certain unit.

Her father is also a soldier who participated in two foreign wars. He is currently the deputy director of the Southeast Theater Command General Hospital. He also has a younger brother who is also in the Southeast Military Region.

People from this kind of family have strict family traditions. Her divorce was the result of a great decision. Now she dare not mention this situation to her family, so she deliberately hides herself.

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

Time flew by, and soon the black Pullman stopped at the underground parking lot of Ode to Joy. Han Tao gave Wang Xiaodong a few instructions, then woke up Guan Juer, and the two walked into the elevator together.

I originally planned to let her stay at my place, but Guan Juer was afraid that her mother would check on her, so she kept saying that she could stay for a while, but she had to return to the 22nd floor before midnight.

Seeing her persistence, Han Tao nodded and agreed. However, for Guan Juer, they separated not long after tasting the forbidden fruit, and she hadn't seen Han Tao for many days and still missed him very much.

Having tasted the sweetness, Han Tao, as an experienced person, of course also noticed the passion in Guan Juer's eyes, so he went to take a shower, and then sat calmly on the sofa, waiting for Guan Juer to come while browsing messages on his mobile phone.

The main content is financial news and the situation of his own stocks. This matter has always been handed over to Jiang Pengfei, stock brokers, and the financial management team. He only occasionally gives instructions and understands the situation.

But after all, it was tens of billions of dollars, so he had to supervise it from time to time, especially during the period when the stock market rebounded after hitting bottom. The liquor and real estate stocks in his hands have begun to pick up, and the Internet and new energy have also begun to rise.

Han Tao estimated that the income from this alone had increased his personal assets by more than ten digits.

It can be said that even if Han Tao does nothing and just lies at home, money will continue to flow into his pocket, and he may even become one of the major shareholders of many emerging enterprises. By then, he can easily become a tycoon with assets of hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars.

Just as he was concentrating on looking at his phone, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw Guan Juer shyly coming out of the bathroom.

Guan Juer has a very fair complexion. Even under such dim lighting, her porcelain-white skin and slender waist are still highlighted.

Looking at the well-behaved and lovely girl, Han Tao stood up and walked towards her, holding the warm and soft Guan Juer in his arms and walking towards the bedroom.

When he reached the bed, he saw that Guan Juer's face was flushed and her eyes were misty. Han Tao leaned over, put her down, and kissed her.

In the spacious bedroom, the lights dimmed and soothing music began to play. Knowing that although she had already had two experiences, her experience was still a little insufficient, Han Tao guided her step by step.

When things started to get better, Guan Juer slowly relaxed and fully enjoyed the happiness and satisfaction given by her beloved.

But later, as she lay in Han Tao's arms, she suddenly remembered her mother's words and said hurriedly:

"Oh, I almost forgot the time. Brother Han, please take me back to 2202... My mom said I can't live with you before we get married, and I have to video chat with her when I get home!"

Hearing Guan Juer's stumbling words, Han Tao gently stroked her back and whispered in her ear:

"Guan Guan, don't worry, take a rest, I'll take you downstairs in a while."

"No, I'm afraid my mom will call and find out. She'll be so mad and scold me!"

"Guan Guan, you've grown up and are an adult now. You should stay calm no matter what happens. Besides, I've already met your uncle and aunt last time, and they agree that we should go out together. Now, all your aunt is worried about is whether you'll be deceived.

But do you think I would lie to you? You know, I've already prepared our home. I'm just waiting for my uncle and aunt to retire so I can have them move in with you.

When the time comes, not only will the elders be able to take care of you, but they can also help us take care of the baby. If you tell Auntie about this, she probably won’t worry anymore.”

"Oh, I don't want to live with them. Mom will nag me again. I finally got away from her supervision, and I don't want to go back to my old ways so soon.

And Brother Han, please promise me that we won’t have a baby so early. I’m still young and haven’t done many things I like, so I don’t want to have a baby so early.”

Guan Juer's face flushed, her eyes were misty, she gritted her teeth and held Han Tao's hand, then shook her head repeatedly. She had her own ideas about having children, after all, she was only twenty-three years old.

As for bringing her parents over, Guan Juer was reluctant to do so. She felt that the first twenty years of her life had been arranged by her parents, or rather, her mother.

Therefore, her future life should not be planned again. Life is only a few decades long, and she still has too many things she likes to do. She cannot be so constrained.

Seeing her resistance to the child issue, Han Tao immediately guessed what she was thinking. She did need to adapt, and he wasn't in a rush, so he whispered a few words in her ear, and then they both stood up and got dressed.

During this time, Han Tao continued to comfort her. After all, Guan Juer was too innocent before she turned evil, so he had to cherish her.

Guan Juer also felt his doting, but after putting on the skirt, she still hugged Han Tao's arm and said hesitantly:

"Brother Han, please don't make our relationship public for now, okay? After all, my mother has said many times that I can't live with you before I marry you, and I don't want to announce it so early. At least we have to wait until after the end of the year.

And I don't plan to give up my job. I don't have the ambitions of Sister Fan and Yingying. I just want to stay by your side peacefully and have a job I like. That's enough."

After Guan Juer and Han Tao fell in love, although she accepted the house that Han Tao bought, it was to reassure her parents, but she did not intend to give up her work and life.

Especially during this period, because of Han Tao's presence and the company's upcoming assessment period, her leaders no longer arrange for her to work overtime, so Guan Juer is quite satisfied with her current job.

"Of course, as long as you're happy. And when you get used to your current job, I'll give you a surprise!"

Han Tao nodded. From this point, it can be seen that Guan Juer is very rational in love, has her own judgment, knows what she wants, and does not put love first.

Especially facing Han Tao, she felt that she should study harder while she was young, improve herself, and not give up on her life.

It was Guan Juer's words that made Han Tao suddenly remember that when he defeated Guan Juer for the first time, he almost forgot about a system reward.

That night, the system rewarded him with 100 million yuan in funds, a car gift package, an eternal contract (the heroine Guan Juer's goodwill value towards the host is locked at the maximum value and will not decrease under any circumstances) and a 4.2% stake in Huaxin Securities, where Guan Juer works.

Chapter 684 Ode to Joy Plot Summary

In Room 2202, Building 19, Ode to Joy Community, Fan Shengmei and Qiu Yingying came back from overtime work, washed up, and returned to their respective rooms to rest.

Suddenly the door was opened and Guan Juer tiptoed in. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there was no one in the living room and returned to her room. Although the house downstairs belonged to her, Guan Juer liked this room of more than ten square meters more.

Although it is not big, it is the master bedroom in this house. The space is still acceptable, and the bedroom is divided into two areas. On one side is a 1.5-meter single bed, a wardrobe and a dressing table.

On the other side is her desk and a bookshelf with many books on it. It looks quite bookish. Most importantly, the three of them are very humane and down-to-earth.

Sitting on the bed and changing into pajamas, Guan Juer quickly sent a video to her mother and said:

"Don't worry, Mom. I'm already home and just finished washing up!"

"Okay, Mommy knows!"
