Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

“Alas, I used to only want to find someone to marry, and Xiao Qu laughed at me for this for a long time.

You ask why everyone wants to date and get married, now think about how good it is to be single and enjoy freedom! "

After saying that, Fan Shengmei's heart was stirred. Her current income was not low. Even if she had to deduct Han Tao's loan every month, it was enough for her to live well in the Magic City, so she didn't have to think about taking shortcuts in the future.

Hearing Fan Shengmei's words, Guan Juer disagreed: "Sister Fan, I don't think so. I just want to find someone I like and have a good relationship. Otherwise, my life will be imperfect. I don't want to make any compromises on this point."

"Silly girl, love is the most vulnerable, but you are old enough to pursue love. I believe in you, keep going!"

"Forget about Qiu Yingying being in love, but Guan Guan, don't be stupid. Love and marriage are not the only things in life. Being happy is the most important thing!"

"Qu Xiaoxiao, don't teach Guan Guan bad things. Do you think everyone is like you? Shameless!"

"Qiu Yingying, you're itching for trouble, right? I think you still deserve to be punished!"

In this way, several people were discussing each other's views along the way, and they were having a lot of fun arguing.

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

Andy and Han Tao have already driven to the Bao Group. Mr. Bao, Bao Yifan, met them personally and invited them to visit his factory. He also took them to his research center.

Andy has always been very interested in doing research. In addition, Han Tao also agreed. Seeing that Bao Yifan's company had already reached this stage, he formally agreed to consider cooperating with Bao Yifan.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Bao Yifan took the opportunity to invite her and Han Tao to dinner.

Because the dinner ended too late and they drank a lot, Han Tao and Andy decided to stay another night.

Because he was quite interested in Andy, and knowing that Andy had not yet publicly announced her boyfriend, Bao Yifan wanted to show his affection and offered to arrange a hotel for Andy, but was ultimately rejected by Andy.

As for why he did not suggest arranging a hotel for Han Tao, it was because he knew that Han Tao was also from Nantong.

Moreover, Han Tao's grandfather and the He family are more influential here than the Bao family, so he doesn't have to worry about anything.

After the two parties said goodbye, Han Tao made arrangements while chatting with Andy, but Andy's attention was not on the content of the conversation at all.

Maybe it was because she had drunk some wine, she looked at Han Tao with infinite tenderness in her heart. She didn't know since when, friendship, family affection, and a feeling that she wasn't sure if it was love, gradually bound her heart.

This made her feel a lot of emotions. Sometimes Han Tao was like light and heat, enveloping her closed heart and melting her unconsciously.

Chapter 732 Qu Family Crisis

In the Magic City, Qu Xiaoxiao said goodbye to her good friend Jiang Lai, Guan Juer, Fan Shengmei and others, and hurried back home.

On the way, she just received a call from her father. Today, Qu's father personally cooked for her and made her a dish of braised pork ribs that she loved to eat. So Qu's mother happily pulled her,

"Xiao Xiao, these are spareribs made by your father himself. They are definitely cleaner and more delicious than those made in restaurants outside. You have been working too hard recently. You should eat more."

"My daughter is capable, so of course she should be rewarded!" Qu's father praised her while wiping his hands.

"Recently, wherever I go, people keep talking about our daughter, saying she's different now that she's back from abroad.

Even her new friends and partners are people in the top circles of Shanghai.

This is even more powerful than what your father and I had back then. If we keep going like this, it won't be long before your mother and I retire. Dad should give you a toast."

"Of course our Xiaoxiao is amazing. They say a tiger father has a dog daughter. Our daughter must be the best!"

Qu Xiaoxiao's mother was very happy to hear her daughter being praised. Her daughter's business has been booming recently, and the company is getting bigger and bigger. I heard that she is also working on acquiring the company of the air-conditioning queen Xie Jiayin.

Even though she was collaborating with Shengxuan to acquire Xie's company, and the company wasn't entirely owned by her daughter, in her opinion, it was something that most people couldn't do.

Looking at Qu Lianjie, the son of my husband and his ex-wife, he is not good at anything and is always the troublemaker.

The two branches he was previously asked to manage had not seen any improvement after a year and had remained in a stagnant state.

In fact, she didn't know that Qu Lianjie not only failed to manage the company well, but also recently got into trouble. He was set up and went to Macau and lost 100 million.

Her husband paid a heavy price to save his son, and now the Qu Group is in a life-or-death situation.

It’s not that the Qu family doesn’t even have 100 million, but mainly because they don’t have that much cash. If they want to raise enough money, they have to sell some companies and the family’s fixed assets.

Now, his son was redeemed, but it was no longer possible to fill the hole in Qu Lianjie's deficit. So when Qu's father saw his daughter come back, his plan became more determined.

He knew that his daughter and a few friends had set up an investment company and could still raise 100 million or 200 million yuan.

The most important thing is that the stock market was turbulent some time ago, and my daughter Qu Xiaoxiao made money with her friends, so everyone followed Qu Xiaoxiao's lead.

"Huh, is that really that exaggerated? I was just lucky enough to know a few people, so I got that GI project.

If there was no GI project, how could her small company have developed further?

Besides, it's just a few compliments from others, why do you take it so seriously? Isn't it embarrassing! "

Qu Lianjie sat aside with a defiant look on his face. Even though he had just gotten into a big disaster, he still looked unconvinced.

Of course, it was normal for him to have this idea. From childhood to adulthood, every time he got into trouble, it was Qu's father who came forward to settle it, and he had never been punished, so he was still somewhat fearless this time.

However, when Qu's father heard this, he was so angry that he wanted to hit him, but considering that he was his own son and the only male in the Qu family, he could only hold back and scolded him:

"Bullshit, what's so shameful about this? You've been managing the company for so long, isn't it shameful to have mediocre results?

Your sister has made a name for herself with her own abilities and is now considered a prominent figure in Shanghai. But in your eyes, she is a disgrace?

You should learn from your sister, otherwise our family may have to rely on your sister for support in the future.

Also, you will be responsible for your own company from now on. Whether it improves or not, the head office will not care about you anymore."

Qu Lianjie replied nonchalantly, "It's just my responsibility, what's the big deal?"

"It's nothing special. Your company lost millions before, and you took out a loan without telling your family. Then a few days ago, you followed others and went gambling, and lost 100 million in one go. You are really amazing!"

After saying that, Qu Xiaoxiao didn't even look at Qu Lianjie, but turned to Qu's father and asked, "Dad, it must have cost you a lot to get Qu Lianjie back, right?

You called me to come back for dinner because of this, right?"

"Xiao Xiao, listen to what daddy is telling you..."

"Bang!" Before Qu's father finished speaking, Qu Xiaoxiao's mother slammed the table and stood up, loudly questioning Qu's father:

"What do you mean by one hundred million? Explain to me what's going on. Is what Xiao Xiao said true?"

"Afang, don't be anxious. Let me tell you slowly." Qu Datou saw that his wife was angry and hurried to comfort her.

"What are you talking about? What did you do behind my back? One hundred million, where did your family get that much cash to pay off his debt?

Although I'm not very involved in the management now, do you think I don't know how much capital the company has?"

"I know, I know, it's wrong for Lian Jie to gamble, but he's my son after all, if I don't help him, who will?

I had a friend who was just like him. He was tricked into a gambling game and lost. Now he is on the wanted list.

Lian Jie is my son. Can I just sit there and watch him? Can I let him live in fear?

Besides, the situation was urgent at the time, and those people even threatened Lian Jie's ex-wife and children. Are you going to let them live in danger too? "

Hearing her husband's words, Qu Xiaoxiao's mother became even angrier, "Are you being unreasonable? It's me who put them in danger, you unlucky son.

We have several projects halfway through and need a lot of cash flow. We have to pay the bank interest every month. Where will you get the money to pay him back?"

"Ahem!" Qu Datou felt a little guilty, so he didn't dare look his wife in the eye. He looked aside and said, "I sold two factories to friends and also sold all the properties I could at home and abroad!"

"Qu Datou, you sold the company's project without my consent or the board's consent. Are you crazy?

When you got divorced, you didn't take any money with you. Was it easy for the two of us to build up this family fortune over all these years?

Now, for this prodigal son, you are willing to harm the interests of the company and harm me? Don’t you think about how many billions can withstand such a waste! "

When Qu Lianjie was pointed at and called a prodigal, he immediately refused to listen and stood up and shouted, "I am a prodigal, do you think your daughter is innocent?

My friend helps with the investigation department. She's where she is today thanks to a man named Han Tao. Think about it, if she hadn't been having an affair with him, would he have been able to help her make money?

I also heard from some friends that she was using the names of Han Tao and Tan Zongming to win over all kinds of connections. God knows how she hooked up with these people.

"Shut up, you bastard!"

Qu Datou stood up and slapped his son twice in the face, then scolded him angrily, "Xiao Xiao is your sister. Doesn't it make him feel bad if you say that? Doesn't it hurt you?

You lack integrity and evade responsibility. You don't act like a man when encountering setbacks. You don't think about how to face or solve them. Instead, you let your family clean up your mess every time. You still have the nerve to do that!

Now you are not only holding our family back, but also holding your sister back. If you weren't her friend, do you think you could come back so smoothly?

I've put a lot of thought into you over the years, but I ended up raising something like you. It's truly a misfortune for our family."

Having said that, Qu's father was still a little unsatisfied, and no longer cared whether he was his biological son or not. He pulled out his belt and beat his son again.

"Qu Lianjie, listen to me, this is the last time I'm going to clean up your mess, otherwise our Qu family can't afford to lose this person.

I will hand over the company to Xiaoxiao in the future. You just need to take care of your two companies and don’t have any improper thoughts.

Also, with the deficits in your two companies, the head office has no money to give you. I've already sold your house, and you can buy the car you bought earlier to pay off the debt."

Chapter 733 Merger and Acquisition of Qu Group

This was the first time Qu Lianjie had been beaten by his father, and he was furious. "Okay, I'll never come to you again. I don't believe I can't run the company well on my own!"

After saying that, he ran out directly, and drove away from the Qu family villa in his limited edition sports car, leaving Qu Xiaoxiao's father slamming the table and cursing that he didn't have such a son.

"Well, you and your son don't have to act in front of me. He is your son, you can't just ignore him.

But since things have come to this, let's just be frank and don't beat around the bush.

"You took out 100 million yuan, so there's no point in me blaming you. But the company's funding chain has been broken, and now it's definitely a matter of life and death. What are you going to do?"

Although Qu Xiaoxiao's mother was angry and wanted to take the opportunity to resolve the family property issue, she did not want to break up the family, so she could not do anything too drastic.

After all, Qu Lianjie is his son. As long as he doesn't want to divorce, he can't make too much trouble, otherwise it will definitely destroy the family and the relationship between the two.

"Afang, thank you for understanding me. I asked my daughter to come back this time because we haven't had a meal together for a long time and we wanted to reunite.

The second thing is that I want to discuss with everyone, the company’s capital chain is indeed broken.

If we want to get through this difficult time, we either have to sell our current house or mortgage our house so that we can get through this difficult time."

As he spoke, Qu Datou looked at his daughter Qu Xiaoxiao and said with a kind smile, "Daughter, didn't you set up an investment company with your friends?

I also know that you have at least 100 or 200 million in funds. Can you lend it to me for a while? I'll pay the interest normally."

Hearing his words, before Qu Xiaoxiao could respond, Qu's mother took over and said, "Selling the house is definitely not an option. People who don't know what's happened to our family will think. Who would dare to cooperate with us in the future?

Besides, we are not at the point of selling our property yet, so there is no need to discuss this.

As for the mortgage, I can agree, but you have to promise me that this is the last time you'll be in charge of Qu Lianjie, otherwise I will absolutely not agree!"

"I promise you, I will never get involved in Lian Jie's affairs again. This is the last time I will clean up his mess.

From now on, I will let him run his two companies and I will definitely not subsidize him anymore."

Qu Datou quickly nodded in agreement, fearing that it would be too late and his wife would change her mind.

They had been together for so many years, and he knew his wife very well. He knew that if he said this, the matter would be over.

Sure enough, Qu Xiaoxiao's mother nodded and said, "Then you have to keep your word, and Qu Lianjie has to make up for the losses of his company himself.

Not only are you not allowed to secretly give him money, but you must also transfer all the company shares to your daughter's name."

"No problem. Our daughter is so talented, I feel very confident handing the company over to her. But there's no rush for this matter. After all, it still needs to go through the board of directors. Let's get through this hurdle first."

"Humph, now you know how good your daughter is, right? Every time I talk to you, you don't want to listen, and I'm too lazy to argue with you.

Now you should have seen clearly that our family will still depend on Xiao Xiao from now on."

Qu Xiaoxiao's mother was speaking from her heart. Although the Qu Group had over 100 to 200 billion yuan in direct assets, they also had a lot of loans, so the only money they could actually control was two or three hundred million yuan.

But after what happened with Qu Lianjie, the company no longer has any extra money and is in a crisis, so now is the best time to give the company to her daughter so that she can rest assured.

As for the funding issue, even if her daughter does not agree to lend her money, she has her own way to get through it, at least for the time being.

Because apart from the company's loans and advance payment operations, seventy to eighty percent of the Qu family's assets are in her hands, and they have all been exchanged for fixed assets for her daughter Qu Xiaoxiao.

These properties are all shops and houses in the prime location of Shanghai. She spent more than 100 million yuan to buy them one by one, and now the market value has almost doubled.

Qu Xiaoxiao, who was standing by, couldn't help but say, "Mom, are you serious? Is there something wrong with my ears?"

Why did you ask me to come back? You wanted me to see who's better, me or Qu Lianjie? You wanted to protect the family business you and Dad worked so hard to build. Are you just going to let a 100 million yuan deficit go like that?

Since you are so virtuous, just bear with it and invite Qu Lianjie and his mother to live with you.

You can serve them as a concubine. My dad will definitely think you are very virtuous and will follow your lead from now on, right, dad?"

"What's your attitude? What can I do? Your father has already said so. Should I divorce him?" As she said this, Qu's mother picked up a tissue and wiped her tears.

Qu Xiaoxiao was so disappointed that she said angrily, "What attitude do you mean by that? My attitude towards my own mother!
