Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

At this time, the grandson that the old couple missed had already arrived at the door. He looked around the familiar yard and finally his eyes fell on the two old people in the house.

While wiping, the old lady accidentally glanced at the door and was stunned for a moment. Then she reacted and couldn't help but tears welled up in her eyes.

When the old man saw the grandson he had been thinking about day and night appear in front of him, his hands trembled and he could not hold the rag in his hand.

The old man next to her also noticed that something was wrong with the old woman, so he took off his glasses and looked in the direction she was looking.

In fact, it’s not her fault that she is so excited. When Han Tao was in college, he had winter and summer vacations, and he would come back to spend time with them on May Day and National Day.

But after he graduated, he stayed in Handong, and later went to work in Beijing. Even when he came back to celebrate the New Year, he only stayed for a few days in a hurry and then went back to work again.

For people of their age, what they value most is companionship. Being able to talk and eat face to face is the best gift, better than anything else.

Because they have experienced too many separations, they hope that when they are old, their family members can appear in front of them safely. This is their expectation and wish for the rest of their lives.

"Grandpa, grandma, I'm back!" Facing the two elders, Han Tao pushed open the door while calling out to them, just like he did when he was a child.

The old lady hugged him and said, "My eldest grandson is back. Let grandma take a look at you and see if you have lost weight!"

"Didn't you say you would leave Shanghai this morning? Why did you get home so late?" Although the old man was excited, he didn't express it.

However, from his expression and voice, Han Tao could already feel his grandfather's happiness and care. After all, they were of different generations, and he knew that his grandfather just didn't say it out loud.

"This time I came back with a few friends and partners, so we went to Nantong to handle this matter and came back immediately after it was done."

"You should have called ahead, your grandma is very worried about you, don't you know?"

"Old man!" Of course the old lady knew her old man best, so she wiped her eyes happily.

"Okay, stop being so pretentious. Who are you trying to show off to, you know? I'm going to go buy groceries and cook now. I'm happy to make an exception today and let Xiao Tao drink with you later.

You've been thinking about the Maotai that the second brother has stored for a long time, so I'll let you have some meat with the eldest grandson tonight. I don't let you drink alcohol normally!"

"Grandma, let me do it. I'll cook for you and grandpa today." Han Tao held his grandmother, intending to cook with the old lady.

"Okay, I'll try my grandson's cooking, too!"

The old lady nodded with a smile, then made a pot of tea and said, "I'll go buy some groceries first. You can chat with grandpa for a while."

Han Tao quickly grabbed his grandmother and said with a smile, "Grandma, can I go shopping with you?"

"No, you just wait at home. By the way, I'm going to play a game of chess with your grandfather. He talked about it many times. I asked Xiao Wang to go with me. Don't worry."

After saying that, the old lady went out with a basket. At this time, a young man was already waiting in the yard.

Looking at the living room again, only Han Tao and the old man were left sitting opposite each other. Han Tao poured a cup of tea for his grandfather and obediently prepared to be scolded.

"Grandpa, are you and grandma okay? I just returned to the Magic City to develop my career. I have been very busy recently, otherwise I would have come back to see you a long time ago."

Chapter 724 Jiang Lai's Intrusion

"We understand, so we'll let you focus on your work first. But when you live closer, you must come back more often. Your grandma misses you..."

The old man was no longer as serious as before, and chatted with his grandson in a friendly manner about many family matters.

Han Tao listened to him talking about family matters, and also told the old man a lot of interesting things about his work and the difficult problems he encountered.

My grandfather also recalled the past, talking about his experiences in the army and on the battlefield, his work after arriving in the local area, and the development history of the old state-owned enterprise Red Star.

The atmosphere is filled with wars, turbulent times, ups and downs in business and economic changes, and of course warmth and harmony are also indispensable.

During the conversation, the grandfather and grandson also talked about reform and many current affairs and news topics, but they ended up talking about Handong. At first, they talked about Handong's anecdotes, and later they talked about officialdom.

Han Tao naturally knew that this was what his grandfather did intentionally, so he told his grandfather all his thoughts, what he knew about Handong, and his insights into its future development.

Many things that will happen in the future, as well as personnel changes, were told to the elderly in a speculative manner and using corresponding methods after language processing. The content of the conversation covered many aspects.

What surprised Han Tao was that some people and events a few years later were actually predicted by his grandfather.

This made him sigh and admire. Is this the level of thinking of the older generation? Is this the so-called strategic prediction?

Finally, grandpa talked a lot about his thoughts and opinions on what Han Tao had done, including how he would deal with some people and things, how to do things without leaving any hidden dangers, etc., and he broke it down and taught it to him.

Of course Han Tao listened carefully and took note of what they said. In this way, the conversation between the old man and the young lasted for more than an hour.

It was not until the sound of talking came from the front door that the grandfather and grandson ended their conversation. At the end, the grandfather reminded:

"Xiao Tao, Xiao Ai called home. She is now at your uncle's place. I guess your uncle will send someone to pick you up to meet a few people in a while.

You can talk about the content of our conversation just now, including my analysis and your own conjectures and insights, but be careful to strike a balance.

Although you don't want to follow the path of your uncle and his family, you are taking a big step now. If you get some recognition, you can give yourself some extra insurance."

“Well, I understand, Grandpa, I now understand what I can and cannot say.

In fact, as long as my uncle and the others are in that position, I am not worried. This time I persuaded Teacher Gao just to add to the family's foundation."

"You, don't worry about anything. We just hope to live our lives in peace and keep our original intentions.

Your grandmother and I are old, and now we have become more open-minded and indifferent to everything.

By the way, you should take care of your own personal issues, otherwise your grandma will keep nagging me about wanting to see her great-grandson.

You don’t know that every day when she goes out for a walk, if she meets a girl she thinks is suitable, she will pull her aside and ask her all kinds of questions.

And I have heard a lot of rumors. We will not interfere with your emotional issues, but you have to know your own situation... "

"Xiao Tao, come out here, you bastard! Your grandfather and I taught you how to entertain guests. How dare you let your friends wait outside!"

Han Tao's grandmother's voice came from the door, and then the door was pushed open. Standing beside her was Jiang Lai, who looked a little embarrassed.

Seeing Han Tao and his grandfather in the room looking at him, Jiang Lai hurriedly greeted them.

"Hello, Grandpa He. My name is Jiang Lai. I'm Han Tao's... I'm Han Tao's friend. I'm sorry to bother you by visiting me."

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. Come inside and do it!"

Mr. He looked up at the girl next to the old woman, then looked at Han Tao with some confusion, as if to say, "Why don't you explain what's going on?"

Understanding what grandpa meant, Han Tao looked towards the door in confusion and said, "Jiang Lai, didn't you say you were not feeling well and wanted to go back first?"

"I just had a headache, so I wanted to get off the car to get some fresh air, and then asked the driver to take me back. I didn't expect to run into Grandma Wang in the garden, so..."

Jiang Lai briefly explained the situation. She really wanted to stroll around the compound and then ask the driver to take her back to the hotel. However, she unexpectedly ran into Han Tao's grandmother, Wang Yarong, in the small garden.

When the old lady saw a well-dressed and good-looking girl walking alone in the courtyard, she immediately went up to her and asked her enthusiastically. After a few words, she found out that she had come back with her grandson.

So, without waiting for Jiang Lai to refuse, the old lady took her back home.

In the past few years, she has been worried about the personal problems of her grandson and granddaughter, especially her grandson Han Tao. The old lady always feels that Han Tao is left behind because her daughter got pregnant before marriage, so Han Tao is afraid of marriage and has not started a family yet.

Although her grandson would definitely have no shortage of girlfriends given his looks and conditions, the old couple had never shown her to them. She couldn't help but strike up a conversation when she saw a suitable one.

Because those who can live in this courtyard at least have a good family background and are all well-matched.

If it's suitable and the two people get along well, they would definitely be good marriage partners.

Han Tao also knew what the old man was thinking, so he could only smile and nod at Jiang Lai, "Since your headache is gone, eat before leaving.

But I have to go out for some work later, so after dinner I can only ask the driver to take you back to the hotel."

"Well, then I'll go help Grandma Wang cook!" Jiang Lai nodded embarrassedly, looking well-behaved and sensible.

I secretly felt lucky that she had changed her sexy outfits into fresh and ladylike clothes these days, otherwise it would have been embarrassing today.

"No, no, just chat with Xiao Tao and we'll do it!"

As she spoke, Han Tao's grandmother Wang Yarong pulled her husband to the kitchen and whispered, "Hey, stop looking, help me cook."

"Don't pull me, Mr. Wang, where does this girl come from?"

Mr. He was dragged towards the kitchen by the old woman, still a little confused, "You said she came back with Xiao Tao, why didn't this guy mention it at all? And......"

"What else? Young people have their own way of getting along with each other. What do you think of this girl?"

The old lady asked her husband quietly, which made Mr. He frown.

"He does look nice, quiet and gentle, with simple appearance and elegant dress. But I don't know much about his character and family background, so I need to learn more about him before I can make a conclusion."

"Oh, you are really getting old and confused. You have been a leader for so many years in vain.

My grandson doesn't even know what to do, so how can someone who can get along with him be bad? "

After being rolled his eyes by his wife, the old man responded with some disapproval: "That's not what I meant. They've brought their family here, which means they're not just ordinary friends. Of course I have to find out more. I'll ask the second son to check it out later."

"You have never been young. Can't you see that Xiao Tao and her haven't reached that stage yet? They haven't even started dating yet. Why are you investigating? It would be so bad if others find out."

"But... Hey, old woman, why are you in such a hurry? Let me take a look."

"But what buts? Let's go, let's stop talking about those useless things and go cook.

Besides, they are dating, you have never been young, what are you looking at?"

"Okay, okay, I won't look at it. My salary has been reduced since this grandson came back, and I have to cook with you."

"Why, cooking with me is unfair to you? I've cooked for you all my life, have I ever been wronged?"

"I was wrong, I was wrong. You are my leader now, I will help you!"

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

Chapter 725: Dealing with People

Watching his grandparents go to cook, Han Tao invited Jiang Lai to sit down and poured her a cup of tea.

"Han Tao, I'm sorry, did I disturb your reunion with your grandparents?" Jiang Lai took the tea, changed his usual willful behavior, and asked a little embarrassedly.

Seeing her like this, Han Tao was a little uncomfortable. "Miss Jiang, are you not convinced? Or did you take the wrong medicine?"

Hearing him say this, Jiang Lai was not angry but smiled triumphantly and said, "No, don't old people like girls like this? I came back with you and I can't embarrass you.

By the way, what do you think of my outfit and personality today? If you like it, I will dress like this in the future, talk to you the same way, and never be so unreasonable again, okay? "

"Oh, stop it, you're really scary." Han Tao couldn't believe his ears. Is this still the kind of spoiled young lady?

Seeing him looking at her with an expression as if he had seen a ghost, Jiang Lai felt even more proud and asked tenderly:

"Han Tao, I'm serious, isn't it said that people like you all like this type of girl?

The girl who lives in your guest room is like this. Or am I not pretty enough and not as well-behaved as that girl? "

"Haha, do you think I'm that kind of person?"

Han Tao glanced at Jiang Lai and said with disgust: "Jiang Lai, don't pretend to be a lady in front of me. We haven't known each other for a long time, and we are not even ordinary friends.

Although I agreed to take you with me, it was entirely out of consideration for your brother Jiang Haokun, and I had no other intentions."

"I know, and I didn't think about it in other ways, but I said that you ruined my love, so you have to compensate me.

However, I think you should have a good impression of me, otherwise why would you be so active in helping me and allowing me to see who Chen Fang is in time?

I guess you've been paying attention to me since the first time you saw me, right?"

Hearing her words, Han Tao was speechless: "Hey, Jiang Lai, you are delusional, right? I paid attention to you the first time we met. Who gave you such mysterious confidence?

Today I have made things clear to you. First, I am helping Qu Xiaoxiao investigate her brother Qu Lianjie. The matter of Chen Fang is completely a half-hearted attempt.

Second, it was your brother Jiang Haokun who asked me to help. Chen Fang used you to threaten your brother to pay him back and also asked for a branch company. As the legal advisor of Jiang Group, I will not ignore it.

So helping you is just a side job, don't think too much about it. And I don't like girls like you, we can be ordinary friends at best."

Jiang Lai was still not angry when he heard him say that, but smiled and said, "You are just saying one thing and thinking another, am I not as good as Qu Xiaoxiao?

I can do what she can do, no matter what aspect. You can accept her, why can't you accept me? As long as you are not married, I have a chance. "

Seeing her being unreasonable, Han Tao said helplessly: "How can this be the same? Qu Xiaoxiao and I are more of a business collaboration."

"How is it different? In terms of ability, I think I am no worse than anyone else in the industry. I studied hotel management abroad.

Moreover, she obtained her degree certificate on her own, unlike Qu Xiaoxiao and the others who just think about throwing parties and buying bags every day.

So we can also cooperate. My family background and available resources are better than Xiaoxiao and the others. When I go back, I will take over all of my family's hotel business.

Anyway, you and my brother are working together now. I heard that you are planning to invest in some projects in Handong together. You can also take me with you. Please consider it. "

Originally she was just joking, but after being rejected many times, Jiang Lai was aroused and was determined to have a fight with Han Tao.

"Knock, knock, knock, old leader, I'm Xiao Zheng, can I come in?"

As the two were talking, a voice was heard outside the door. Han Tao heard who was coming and quickly got up to open the door.

"Uncle Zheng, you are here. Come in and have a cup of tea. I just made it."
