Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

What's more, Han Tao's director's office has been established, and in it is He Fanxing, who knows how to weigh the pros and cons, understands the overall situation, knows how to adapt, and considers things more comprehensively.

The two secretaries are confident, positive, daring and responsible on the outside, and are also generous, loyal, daring to love and hate, and daring to take risks and fight. They are also decisive and have strong pressure resistance.

Some trivial matters are basically resolved before they reach Han Tao. Even the finishing and preliminary work of some cases in Han Tao's hands will be quickly resolved with the cooperation of the legal aid team, so he, the director, basically does not have to worry about it.

"Boss, recently, under the siege of several branches headed by An Jia and the head office, Hengxin has begun to shrink its influence and even adopted a strategy of lowering industry standards and providing services at cost price.

If we continue to plan this strategy of hurting the enemy by a thousand and hurting ourselves by eight hundred, it will not be worth it!

Therefore, we need you to set the tone, otherwise it is likely to make the other party desperate and jump off the cliff, and even lose a large amount of funds. Wendy, do you mean to use... "

"can!"

After hearing what Li Na said, Han Tao thought for a while and said: "Money is not an issue, let's continue with the plan. The more the other party does this, the more it shows that we have caught their pain point.

In this cannibalistic society, nothing is perfect. If we don't make a decisive decision today, we may be overturned and counterattacked by the other party tomorrow. Since we have made a decision before, we must move forward bravely. Accomplishing the goal is the key.

But your concerns are justified. Tell Wendy that I agree to use those connections. Mingtang and Brother Han have been operating in Shanghai for so many years, spending so much money and employing so many people. Isn't it time to use them at a critical moment? There's no need to hesitate!"

After saying that, without waiting for Lina's response, Han Tao continued to ask as he got on the elevator, "Do you have any other questions? Tell me all of them."

"Another point. If Hengxin continues to proceed as planned, it won't just be about relationships; the funds will also exceed the budget. Now, top law firms in our family are all vying for a piece of the action."

"Since you've come to tell me this, it means you already have a plan. I'll have someone transfer some money over as a special fund. Once this is over, I'll transfer it back from the law firm's operating funds."

"Okay, with your support, I'll go back and tell Anjia to continue according to the plan. As long as the result is achieved, the process will be handled with ease!"

Lina nodded. Apart from Wendy, she was the person who knew Han Tao best. This boss seemed to be quick and efficient in solving problems, especially when it came to funding and personnel.

"Okay. By the way, Lina, is there any difficulty here on Chengtai's side?"

As the elevator door opened, Han Tao walked quickly towards his office and said, "If we have enough staff, we can set up a special team first."

"Chengtai is already preparing, but we have to stop for the next two days. One reason is that fighting on two fronts will slow down the development progress, and the other is that there was a small accident!"

Lina followed Han Tao into his office and put an invitation on his desk while responding.

"Attorney He Gang from our firm is getting married to Attorney Fang Pu from Chengtai Law Firm. If there's no conflict in their schedules, it's important for you, the director, to make an appearance."

"So sudden, a flash marriage!"

Han Tao looked at the invitation, sat down on the office chair, took a sip of the tea He Fanxing had brewed, and said:

"This is quite interesting. Are you planning to use this as a breakthrough?"

Lina nodded and said, "I do have this idea. I still need to study the specific plan. I'll report to you when I have the results."

"Okay, just take care of the arrangements. Call me anytime if you need anything!"

"Okay, let's go then. If anything else, just arrange for Lin Rui and the others to help. They're already good at their current jobs!"

Li Na is very busy now. She came here mainly to use some connections, so she reported to Han Tao and didn't have time to stay too long.

"Okay, you all go and get busy. Lucky, go see if Qin Shi is here. If she is, ask her to come over."

Watching Lina leave, Han Tao smiled slightly and asked the three people waiting in the office to take their seats. Then he looked at the invitation on the table again and laughed.

Mingtang Law Firm is about to go into all-out war with Chengtai. They have been fighting each other to the death before, but now the lawyers from the two firms are getting together and getting married. It's really a love-hate relationship, which is quite interesting.

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

At the same time, at the hospital, Guan Juer took a special leave today to accompany Fan Shengmei, and Qu Xiaoxiao heard Guan Juer say on the phone that Fan's father was in the hospital, so she also came to visit politely.

But when she got there, she heard that Fan Shengmei wanted to perform surgery on her father and that it would cost 100,000 yuan, so she asked curiously:

"Sister Fan, can you come up with that much money? I heard from Guan Guan that Han Tao paid for the emergency room fee of 8,000 yuan. Do you still have money left for the hospitalization and surgery?"

Hearing this, Fan Shengmei didn't care whether she would look down on her or not, and said with tears in her eyes: "I have to have the surgery even if I don't have money. If I don't, my father will die. I'll call and borrow money right now."

After saying that, Fan Shengmei took out her cell phone, walked to the end of the corridor and kept making calls. However, her former colleagues and friends were afraid of her borrowing their phones, so they all said no.

Unable to contain herself any longer, Fan Shengmei squatted down and started crying. It was not that she had not thought about calling Han Tao, but during this period of time, she saw how Guan Juer and Han Tao got along, which made her feel resistant from the bottom of her heart, because she did not want to lose the last bit of her self-esteem.

So when Fan Shengmei first started, she wanted to find her old friends, but she overestimated her connections, especially those ex-boyfriends she met through blind dates. Although they were still in contact, everyone knew what kind of person she was and how could they possibly help her.

Although they were not short of money, they had no intention of opening up to a woman who was only interested in picking the best, except for having a playful attitude, so no one would help at this time.

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

Chapter 693 The Fan Family’s Trouble

Seeing her daughter put down the phone, Fan Shengmei's mother Liu Meilan walked over, looked at her and asked:

"Xiaomei, did you borrow the money?"

Fan Shengmei shook her head dejectedly, and replied helplessly and irritably: "No, no, I've called everywhere and no one is willing to help. After all, it's 100,000 yuan, not just a few hundred yuan."

"What should I do?"

Liu Meilan frowned, and suddenly remembered something. She looked towards Qu Xiaoxiao and Guan Juer and whispered:

"You can borrow some from the girl who drove us yesterday. She said she'll lend you as much as you want as long as you write an IOU."

"No, I won't borrow money from her!"

Fan Shengmei rejected the proposal without hesitation. If she had to choose, she would rather find Han Tao than Qu Xiaoxiao, because she could accept being in debt, but could not accept being looked down upon by Qu Xiaoxiao.

"What about your father? Are you going to watch him die?"

Liu Meilan angrily glared at her daughter Fan Shengmei, then looked at the people coming and going in the corridor, then turned around and walked in front of Qu Xiaoxiao and the other person, knelt down and said:

"Girl, please, please lend us some money. We are counting on you to save our lives!"

"what………"

Qu Xiaoxiao was frightened by Liu Meilan's sudden action. She jumped away and screamed loudly.

Seeing this, Guan Juer hurriedly grabbed Qu Xiaoxiao, and while comforting her, she sent voice messages to Andy and Han Tao for help, and briefly explained the situation.

"Mom, what are you doing!"

Upon hearing the news, Fan Shengmei turned back to check the situation and ran over to help her mother up, but Liu Meilan couldn't get up and said:

"Xiaomei, please come with me and beg this kind girl. Your father's life depends on her!"

"I know, I want to save Dad too, but if you have anything to say, get up first and don't bother others!"

Fan Shengmei was so angry that she didn't even bother to cry. She felt that she had lost all face today.

"This is a hospital. If the family has anything to say, please go outside."

The doctor who came out to check on the situation also started to reprimand them, then looked at Fan Shengmei and her daughter and continued, "You need to come up with a conclusion as soon as possible. You now have two choices. If you don't have surgery, your patient won't live for more than two months.

If you have surgery, the sooner the better. However, there's a high chance you'll be completely paralyzed and need specialized care or a place in a rehabilitation center, so consider this now."

Hearing this, Fan Shengmei wiped her tears and said, "I'm sorry, doctor. We'll do the surgery, but please give us a little more time so we can figure out how to raise the money!"

"Okay, then you guys can discuss it, but please don't make any noise!"

After saying that, the doctor shook his head and turned back to the operating room.

Liu Meilan also stood up at this time, and once again pulled Fan Shengmei and said, "Xiaomei, we can't just watch the old man die!

Your father is retired and has a pension. If he were alive, our family could still get by and we wouldn't have to rely on you for everything. But if he's gone, there's no hope at all."

"Do you think I don't want to save my dad? You're still talking about money, money, money. He's still my dad. Don't I want him to live?"

Fan Shengmei was on the verge of collapse. Of course she wanted to save her father, but where was the money? She only had a small salary, and she had to make ends meet and pay for rent. She was already struggling with the previous situation, and now she was completely devastated by the 100,000 yuan debt.

If she wanted to borrow money, she had already borrowed 200,000 yuan from Han Tao. Han Tao later gave her and Qiu Yingying management shares in four coffee shops. She was really embarrassed to ask for more money.

Although one hundred thousand yuan is not as much as the price of a bottle of wine for Han Tao, one should have a sense of propriety. When people are nice to you, you should treat them with sincerity and courtesy. But you should also have a bottom line and a sense of propriety. Don't go too far, otherwise you will be disliked.

Fan Shengmei is also very clear that in order to maintain a relatively balanced interpersonal relationship, she must be more honest and kind, and be able to put herself in others' shoes.

At any time, people should not lose the bottom line of being a human being, should not lose basic moral principles, and should know how to respect themselves, otherwise they will be abandoned by their friends and relatives.

Andy had just finished dealing with her urgent work when she received a message from Guan Juer. She had originally planned to lend some money to Fan Shengmei, so she left the company without thinking and rushed to the hospital.

On the way, she thought about Fan Shengmei's family situation and the problem Han Tao had mentioned before, and couldn't help but call Han Tao to hear his advice.

"This is the situation. Xiaoguan called me specifically. What do you think about this matter?"

On the other end of the phone, Han Tao, who was sitting in his office chair, heard Andy's question and responded, "Guan Guan also sent me a message. Fan Shengmei's family situation is very special. I think this is an opportunity.

Only when life and death are at stake can people more easily see the truth and wake up. Therefore, my suggestion is to have the Fan family mortgage easily liquidated real estate assets and never borrow money without repayment."

"Okay, I understand what you're saying. I'll go over and take a look first. If it doesn't work, you can come back. After all, we're all friends. I'm sorry to bother you, a great lawyer. It's not easy for Miss Fan either."

Andy asked for Fan Shengmei's favor. Although the relationship between them was not very deep, Fan Shengmei made Andy empathize and inspired that protective desire.

Although Andy looks cold, she actually has a weak side. After all, Andy is different from other girls. Her growing background is not so good. She is an orphan and lacks family affection.

It is this kind of feeling that Fan Shengmei and Andy empathize with. Because of the contact during this period, she and Andy are relatively familiar with each other, and they have also had the experience of confiding their feelings, so Andy treats Fan Shengmei very understandingly.

Especially knowing that Fan Shengmei's family is not that good and her mother has always been her tool to make money, all the money she has earned over the years has been sent home to buy things for her brother and sister-in-law, or to cover for her brother's mess, he wants to help her even more.

On Guan Juer's side, after sending the message, she looked at Fan Shengmei with tears in her eyes and couldn't help but say to Qu Xiaoxiao:

"Xiao Qu, I called Sister Andy, she won't be here for a while, why don't you help Sister Fan first, the illness can't wait!"

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Qu Xiaoxiao felt awkward if she didn't lend the money. However, she didn't want to ask Fan Shengmei for money without her asking, and she regretted coming here for a moment.

But since he was already here, he could only bite the bullet and roll his eyes and say, "Borrowing money is no problem, but our relationship isn't that good, so if he does, it'll involve interest and collateral issues, and that requires Sister Fan's approval."

Upon hearing this, Liu Meilan immediately took advantage of the situation and spoke directly without waiting for her daughter to speak:

"No problem. We can mortgage everything we have to you. Let Xiaomei write you an IOU and she'll pay you back slowly with her salary."

"Don't daydream, Auntie. I don't know what you have at home, so the collateral can only be assets that can be quickly converted into cash, such as a house, a car, gold and silver jewelry, etc."

Qu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, looked at Fan Shengmei who was submissive, rolled her eyes unhappily, and continued:

"And your family is running away from debt, so you must have valuable assets with you, right?

Since your father's death is a matter of great importance to the whole family, it is imperative that the whole family work together. Sister Fan, don't just focus on whether you have any problems yourself."

After hearing what Qu Xiaoxiao said, Fan Shengmei knew that it would be impossible to borrow money without any evidence. She would not accept it even from Han Tao, let alone Qu Xiaoxiao, so she fell into deep thought.

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

Chapter 694 Fan Shengmei Completely Wakes Up

Outside the operating room, Qu Xiaoxiao saw that Fan Shengmei had not expressed her stance and said directly: "Sister Fan, stop being a hero. Doesn't your brother have a house in his hometown?

In my opinion, your brother's house should be sold to your father for medical treatment. Anyway, both your brothers are running away and there is no need for that house.

If you agree, mortgage the real estate certificate to me for one year. If you can pay back the house within a year, it will still be yours. If you can't pay back the house, I will sell it and recover my principal and interest! "

"no!"

Before Fan Shengmei could speak, Liu Meilan took the lead to stop her and said pitifully to her daughter:

"Xiao Mei, the real estate certificate cannot be given to her, and your brother's house cannot be sold, otherwise your sister-in-law will divorce your brother. You should think of other ways!"

"I have asked everyone I know, let alone such a large amount of money, no one is willing to lend me even a few hundred yuan!"

Hearing what Fan Shengmei said, Liu Meilan could only look at Qu Xiaoxiao and the others again, clasped her hands together and said, "Little girl, do you have any other options? We are all neighbors, can you help me?"

"Auntie, don't be so crazy!"

Qu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at Liu Meilan nonchalantly and said angrily: "What age are we in now? Even if I have money, it's not because of the strong wind!

Your daughter has no ability to repay this money in a short period of time. I can't watch your family pay it back and end up with a hundred thousand yuan in vain, right? "

Hearing this, Liu Meilan knew that Qu Xiaoxiao would not lend her money for free, so she could only turn to her daughter Fan Shengmei and begged:

"Xiao Mei, is there still contact with the person who lent you money last time? Are you begging him?

There are so many people who like you, tell them, our family has no other requirements, as long as we can raise enough money for your dad's surgery and some living expenses, you will marry him, okay? "

Guan Ju'er and Qu Xiaoxiao didn't even frown when they heard Liu Meilan's words. Originally, they had some sympathy for Fan Shengmei's family's experience, but Liu Meilan's words left them with disgust.

Qu Xiaoxiao, in particular, stopped coddling the other person and directly said: "Auntie, are you brain-broken? You really only care about your son and don't care about your daughter's life or death.

Even if you want to sell your daughter, you don’t want to see what happens to Sister Fan. She is already thirty. After New Year’s Day, do you plan to let her get married with a lot of debt?

And, do you think anyone would be stupid enough to take over the mess your house is in? Why do people want to cause trouble for themselves? What good things do you think? You really don’t know what to say! "

At this time, Andy, who came in a hurry, also walked to the door of the operating room and heard the conversations of several people.

She originally planned to help for free, but she gave up this decision at this moment. She felt that Han Tao's prediction was indeed reasonable, and this family was a white-eyed wolf who could not get involved.

Qu Xiaoxiao, who saw Andy coming over, didn't know what she was thinking, so he hurriedly ran over to remind her, and gave Fan Shengmei and others a clear message, expressing whether he was willing to pledge money to give a pleasant word, otherwise he would pass through this village. This store no longer exists.
