Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

So, Han Tao could only call Lina and then accompany her on the trip.

After listening to Andy's report, Tan Zongming put down the information in his hand and said seriously: "Andy, I understand the situation now, just do it.

Since this matter has been given to you, you don't have to consider anyone's opinion and just do what you should do.

Although we at Shengxuan seem to be developing year by year, we are still sailing against the current. If we don’t move forward, we will fall behind. Any wrong decision may lead to capsizing.

So I put you in this position and specially asked Han Tao to take on the legal work, just to meet the challenge head-on and successfully win the Red Star project.

Only by tackling this tough challenge can we address capacity shortages, improve the industrial chain, further expand our market share, achieve rapid growth, and break out of our already entrenched ecosystem."

"Okay, take the capitalists' money and work for them!" Andy made a joke. She was accustomed to Lao Tan's tolerance and encouragement.

What Lao Tan often said to himself was: Don't worry, I will be responsible for this matter, and he really did it.

Chapter 740 Wei Guoqiang's Purpose

Andy had no knowledge of and interest in love before.

However, since she returned to China, she has experienced so many emotional problems and is no longer so dull. She also knows that Lao Tan likes her.

But Andy couldn't accept it, because she knew her fatal flaw very well, so she would never accept Lao Tan, who was her best friend.

The same goes for her relationship with Han Tao. Andy would never take the initiative to break this window paper. She just wanted to maintain the status quo and get along with him in such a plain and simple way.

Because Andy felt that it was good to be a confidante. After all, being friends for life is better than having no contact with each other until death.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little off, Han Tao interrupted them in time and reminded them: "Although Bao's is a good partner, it has the regional protection advantage of a local enterprise and is also the first-tier in Linjiang.

However, we must also pay attention to the problems existing in the Bao family business. I will have someone investigate the situation of their family members. Old Tan, you should also pay attention to this aspect.

Andy came back from abroad and didn't understand whether we could ignore the fact that there were too many uncertainties in cooperating with such a family business.

If there is any problem with the current management of the group, even the slightest disturbance, there will definitely be turmoil, and it will not be quelled in a short time."

"I'll keep an eye on this. If anything comes up, we can always call and discuss. By the way, we haven't had a proper reunion yet, so let's have dinner together tonight."

Tan Zongming understood what this meant. This was a common problem among wealthy men in China, and he really had to pay attention to it. Even he was not immune, but they were single.

Andy, confused, didn't delve into the two's confusion and said with a smile, "Hahaha, that's great. Han Tao and I have been busy all day, you really should reward us with a big meal."

"No problem. Whatever you and Han Tao want to eat, feel free to charge me. If you miss this opportunity, you'll never get another one."

"That needs to be considered. Han Tao, you're more familiar with the Magic City than I am. Find a good place to eat, otherwise, Lao Tan won't have a chance while he's away on a business trip!"

"Okay, leave this to me. I promise you'll eat well, be full, and have a good time!"

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

Just as Han Tao, Andy and Tan Zongming were chatting about what to eat, Tan Zongming's secretary knocked on the door and said that the old man who came with Mr. Wei last time wanted to see Andy.

Hearing his words, Old Tan immediately knew that Wei Guoqiang had come. What he feared most was that Andy's so-called biological father would come to harass Andy, because this guy was a time bomb for Andy.

For this reason, Tan Zongming also beat Wei Wei, who had brought him here without permission last time, and told the company's front desk that they had to ask him before seeing Wei Guoqiang, and only tell Andy after his consent.

But since they were here, and Andy and Han Tao were there too, Tan Zongming couldn't say anything and could only ask his secretary to invite them in.

In fact, Tan Zongming has no good feelings towards Wei Guoqiang. One reason is Andy, and the other is that his hands are a little too long.

Han Tao and Andy arrived in Shengxuan right after he came here. It was obvious that he had a spy, or he arranged someone to keep an eye on Andy. This was almost touching Lao Tan's bottom line.

However, the purpose of Wei Guoqiang's visit this time was beyond Tan Zongming's expectation. He was not here to recognize his relatives, but to bring news about Andy's grandfather.

"Andy, I know you don't like seeing me, but your grandfather, Old Man He, is on his deathbed, so I have to come here.

The doctor said he could die at any time, and you are the biggest debt he owes you in his life, so his greatest wish is to see you, his granddaughter, for the last time before he dies."

In the office, Andy frowned after hearing what he said and said, "I'm sorry, no matter what you say, I have no reason to see him."

"Andy, no matter what, you are his granddaughter. After all, blood is thicker than water. This is an unchangeable fact, and it is something you cannot deny."

"Blood is thicker than water?"

Andy glanced at him and continued, "I don't think so. Why didn't he think of this word when he left my mother?"

Hearing Andy's response, Wei Guoqiang sighed helplessly, "Andy, we are your family after all. There are many things we couldn't handle back then. I beg you, okay?"

Andy looked at him again and responded expressionlessly, "You don't have to beg me. I have no interest in knowing about you and his existence, nor do I want to go there."

"Andy, I didn't come here to gain your sympathy. I'm truly an unqualified father, so I didn't expect you to forgive me. After all, the situation is very complicated!"

"I don't want to have a hypocritical breakup with you. I just want to live a life without being disturbed. So, please don't come again. I don't want to see you."

Wei Guoqiang was helpless about Andy's determination, so he could only suppress his temper and try to communicate with her patiently.

"Andy, all my mistakes are my fault. The old man never thought of abandoning you and your daughter.

We had no control over what happened back then. The situation was very complicated and it is difficult for people today to understand.

You don't understand how he has been through these years, especially when he learned that he had a granddaughter like you, he spent every day in guilt and remorse.

I know you don't want to acknowledge this relationship now, and you don't want to forgive us, but have you ever thought about it? If one day he really passes away, you will definitely regret not having met your grandfather.

But it will be too late by then, and it will become a lifelong regret for you.

This is the address of the hospital. You are still young and have a long way to go. Think carefully and don't leave yourself with regrets. "

After saying that, Wei Guoqiang took out a note he had written long ago from his pocket, placed it on Andy's desk, then stood up and left her office.

However, Wei Guoqiang did not leave Shengxuan, but came to chat with Tan Zongming and Han Tao. He knew that the two had a good relationship with Andy, especially Tan Zongming. He had asked someone to investigate all this.

Although Tan Zongming would not flatter Wei Guoqiang, he would not look down on him either, so he received him politely and listened to his purpose of coming.

There is no way, the financial circle is so small. Wei Guoqiang is a famous economist. He has a pivotal position and far-reaching influence both in Shanghai and in China.

Many of his economic views are adopted by relevant departments, and his lectures are attended by countless business tycoons. Even if it is not necessary, Tan Zongming does not want to offend others.

The only exception is Han Tao. The reason is very simple. One is that the two people are in different fields. Han Tao is in the legal field and he is in the economic field.

Moreover, Han Tao has a strong background. People like Wei Guoqiang have a lot of say in the business world, but they are not so influential in the legal world.

The second thing is that Han Tao has a cheat. Half of his wealth was rewarded to him by the system's black technology Lao Liu, and the remaining half was earned by using the God's perspective and planning step by step.

Chapter 741: The "Calculation" of Family Affection

In the president's office of Shengxuan Group, the atmosphere was somewhat solemn.

After Han Tao and Tan Zongming listened to the tragic story of a great era, Wei Guoqiang got straight to the point.

"Mr. Tan, Director Han, you are all Andy's friends, and you work together and are partners.

I hope you can help me persuade Andy, especially Mr. Tan. You have been Andy's close friend for many years. You cannot bear to see her end up with regrets because of a momentary confusion.

Her grandfather is critically ill, and his greatest wish now is to see his granddaughter Andy. I will help him achieve this no matter what."

Tan Zongming nodded and said with a sigh, "Yes, Mr. Wei, I understand your feelings.

However, because I am Andy's friend, I know her. Once she makes a decision, she will not change it easily. Even if I try to persuade her, it will not have any effect."

After hearing Tan Zongming's answer, Wei Guoqiang could only look at Han Tao, "Then Director Han, could you do me a favor and work with Mr. Tan to persuade Andy?

I heard that you and Andy have been getting along very well recently. She has invested in some industries with you, and also established a charity fund and built a sanatorium in Daishan.

Obviously Andy trusts you very much, so no matter from which perspective, you and Mr. Tan are the best candidates, and Andy will listen to what you say.

Even if I, the State of Wei, force you two to do this, if you are willing to help me this time, I will remember this favor and be grateful for the rest of my life.

In the future, whether in business or networking, if you need me, please feel free to ask and I will do my best to help you."

"Mr. Wei, thank you for thinking so highly of Tan Mou, but I think you may have made a mistake.

Because I am Andy's best friend, I will not force her to do anything she doesn't want to do just for the sake of profit."

Tan Zongming knew Andy's temper, so he did not agree to help and directly rejected Wei Guoqiang.

This answer made Wei Guoqiang very regretful and a little embarrassed, so he frowned and asked, "Mr. Tan, are you really not going to reconsider it?"

Tan Zongming smiled and said, "It's a pity that Mr. Wei made this trip in vain."

"I understand. I'm sorry to bother Mr. Tan today!"

Wei Guoqiang forced a smile, then looked at Han Tao and asked, "Director Han, there is almost no interest exchange between you and me, so there is no such thing as persuasion for the sake of profit.

See if you can help. It's not necessary. Helping to persuade them won't affect your relationship.

Just consider it as sympathy for a father who made a mistake, and an elderly man who is suffering from guilt and illness.

"Mr. Wei, to be honest, Andy's decision cannot be replaced or changed by anyone else, so there's nothing I can do."

Han Tao didn't have a good impression of Wei Guoqiang, but as an outsider, he couldn't make too many accusations, so he could only respond in this way.

Wei Guoqiang's face turned grim after being rejected repeatedly. "Director Han, the reason I've talked to you all so much today is to tell you, and Andy, that his grandfather and I had our own reasons back then."

Hearing him say this, Han Tao had to refute: "Mr. Wei, I beg you to differ from what you just said.

Although it is said that one should not suffer the hardship of others and should not advise others to do good, in my opinion, no matter what your unavoidable hardship, you should not abandon your wife and children.

So if you really feel even a little guilty about her, try not to disturb her life. That is the best way to protect her."

"Yes, that's what I meant."

Tan Zongming took over and continued seriously, "In fact, I have already investigated the fact that you are Andy's biological father.

The reason I didn't tell Andy was because I felt that telling him wouldn't be a good thing for him."

Having said that, Wei Guoqiang no longer maintained such a humble attitude and sighed, "Well, it seems that Mr. Tan and Director Han are both determined and unwilling to help me with this."

Han Tao heard this and looked at him with a smile, "I'm sorry Mr. Wei, it's not that we don't want to help, but we really can't help because we can't bear to see Andy get into trouble.

Imagine a father who hasn't contacted his daughter for so many years. The reason is obvious, and you know best what's going on.

Andy is very sensitive to begin with. She easily makes associations when she sees her brother Yi Jing. Now with the addition of her grandmother and mother, this bloodline issue is like a time bomb.

You are the fuse that threatens Andy at all times, so we don't want you to drag Andy into this, it's too dangerous for her."

Wei Guoqiang frowned slightly and said, "I'm beginning to understand why you're reluctant to persuade her. You're afraid that our excessive contact will trigger Andy's genetic disease!"

Tan Zongming nodded, and without beating around the bush, he spoke frankly, "Mr. Wei, I have known Andy for more than ten years, and I still remember the first time I met her.

I was surprised because I had never seen such a strong and innocent girl. She lived in her own world and everything around her seemed to have nothing to do with her.

It was not until we got to know each other better later that we learned that Andy had been an orphan since childhood, which caused her to have difficulty communicating with others. She always intentionally or unintentionally isolated herself from the outside world in order to protect herself.

In fact, I still don’t know whether it was right or wrong to bring her back from the United States. So I have an obligation to protect Andy and not let her do anything that forces herself.”

"Mr. Wei, Andy's moods have been volatile lately, and she's only recently stabilized. You could easily influence her towards a negative side, so try not to meet her, and don't force her to do anything."

Han Tao must stand on Lao Tan's side and protect Andy.

But he also had his own considerations, so he changed the subject here, "But you are right about one thing, blood is thicker than water, life is short, try not to leave any regrets for yourself.

I think Andy will think about it herself. You should give her some time. It would be best if she can figure it out.

Of course, Mr. Tan and I won't try to persuade Andy to do something she doesn't like, but if she were to discuss this with us, we would share our own opinions and views with her. Ultimately, it's up to her to decide."

"Thank you, that's great, I'm glad Andy has friends like you, but I won't give up.

Director Han, Mr. Tan, I won't bother you any more. Please stay. Goodbye!"

Although Wei Guoqiang did not achieve his desired goal, he was able to get this sentence, which left him with hope.

As for Han Tao's thoughts, it is actually very simple. Andy's feelings for her grandfather are not single, but a mixture of multiple emotions, so she herself doesn't know whether her current attitude is right or not.

If the plot had gone as planned, Andy would have ended up in the hospital and inherited her grandfather's estate, which to some extent reflected her acceptance and understanding of her grandfather.

Although there was a gap between Andy and her grandfather, her grandfather recognized Andy through DNA before his death and left his inheritance to her, which shows the special position Andy held in her grandfather's heart.

Andy's acceptance of the inheritance also means that she has forgiven her grandfather to a certain extent and understood his fear and helplessness.

What's more, Wei Guoqiang also has his own calculations involved in this inheritance. As Andy's closest person now and familiar with the plot, how could Han Tao let him get his wish?

Chapter 742: Conversation between Han Tao and Lao Tan

Wei Guoqiang left. Tan Zongming looked at the door and sighed, "I don't know whether Andy is lucky or unlucky to have a father like him!"

Hearing this, Han Tao smiled and said, "That's right, it's a good thing that Andy only inherited his talent. This person has evil intentions.

But then again, Old Tan, this Mr. Wei is a great scholar. The government listens to his advice on many economic decisions. Being his lobbyist is a huge favor. Do you regret it?"

Tan Zongming poured a cup for Han Tao and said firmly, "Han Tao, we've known each other for so long, do you still know what kind of person I am?
