Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

Andy and I have been friends for over a decade. Do you think I would try to persuade her to do something she doesn't want to do just for the sake of profit?"

"Of course not, because you, Old Tan, won't give in easily, and you and Andy are friends first, and partners second!"

"So, why would I regret rejecting Wei Guoqiang? Besides, you also said that this person has bad intentions.

He came to Andy again and again, it was definitely not just to find a relative, otherwise he wouldn't have not contacted Andy in all these years."

"Old Tan, Andy is lucky to have a friend like you. To her, Wei Guoqiang is a dangerous person. You really need to pay more attention to him in the future and don't let him take advantage of you.

Andy has just settled down and can't stand any more stimulation. A father who disappeared for decades suddenly appears in her life, and he is such an irresponsible father. It will make her collapse."

"This is also the reason why I rejected him directly today, Han Tao. We are both Andy's best friends, and we must not let her get hurt again.

After I found out he was Andy's biological father, I did some research. Wei Guoqiang may appear gentle and polite, but he's actually quite scheming. He's not very kind to Andy's mother or his current wife.

Having said that, Tan Zongming pondered for a long time before continuing, "Wei Guoqiang is a smart man, but also a selfish one, and certainly not a qualified father.

Andy is different from ordinary people. Her life experience has caused her to be naturally insecure, and she doesn't even know how to establish an intimate relationship with others.

Now the appearance of Wei Guoqiang will only make her doubt herself more, so in my opinion, the two of them are really not suitable to meet.

And that Wei Wei, like Wei Guoqiang, is a selfish person who has done great harm to others."

Hearing what Tan Zongming said, Han Tao nodded, and then couldn't help asking: "Old Tan, your protection and tolerance for Andy far exceeds that of a friend. Do you like her?"

Tan Zongming was stunned for a moment, then said frankly: "Andy is so outstanding, many people are attracted to her, and I was one of them.

But I know myself well. I don't have the confidence or certainty to make Andy fall in love with me, and I can't take that risk.

In fact, we are the same type of people. Since you are not sure you can take on everything, it is best not to provoke her from the beginning."

He had said the same thing to Wei Wei before. The difference was that one was a warning and the other was persuasion. Wei Wei could even abandon his partner and only cared about protecting himself. If Andy was with him, there was no guarantee that she would not be abandoned.

The reason why Tan Zongming advised Han Tao was because he felt that they were the same kind of people and family inheritance could not be treated as a joke. Also, he was too philanthropic and was worried that Andy would not be able to accept it.

That's why the last two sentences came about. The reason is very simple. Andy's background is a big problem, so few people can take responsibility for her life, even if Andy is talented.

After all, she has a family history of mental illness, and her brother is also a mental patient. A girl with such a background, no matter how outstanding she is, her family will not agree.

Han Tao understood what he meant and responded with a smile, "Actually, there's no need to overthink some things.

Nothing in this world is perfect. God gave Andy an extraordinary mind, but he also took away the happiness that ordinary people should have.

Besides, who knows what will happen in the future? Just let it go and don't stress too much.

Andy is already 31 years old and should have a love that belongs only to him. The result is not important.

Besides, Andy has been sober for so many years and has no symptoms. Don't scare yourself. I believe she will be fine."

"I hope so. I don't have any other extravagant requests. As long as Andy can be there well, I will be satisfied. Nothing else matters."

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

The two were chatting when Andy knocked on the door and came in. Seeing them chatting, he asked:

"Lao Tan, Han Tao, I heard Xiao Liu say he came to see you. What did they talk about?"

Tan Zongming shook his head. "We didn't talk about anything. How did your conversation go in the end? Are you all right?"

"I'm fine, I just feel really sick."

Andy drank a whole bottle of water before continuing, "Old Tan, tell the front desk that no one is allowed to let him up here anymore. I really don't want to see him again!"

Tan Zongming smiled and said, "Seeing that you can still insult others, I feel relieved. I have already told the security guard that he will not be allowed to insult you again."

"I'm not insulting you, I'm telling the truth."

Andy didn't shy away from this. The people in this office were all her most trusted people, so she continued:

“Every word this person says is full of loopholes and has no logic at all.

His reason for coming to see me wasn't simple, nor was it for so-called family ties, but for other purposes."

Having said that, Andy didn't wait for Han Tao and the others to speak, but suddenly stared at Tan Zongming and asked:

"My life story, Wei Guoqiang and He Yunli, you've already arrived, right?"

"Yes, I know everyone who represented him except He Yunli. Because He Yunli is his stage name, not his real name, I didn't expect him to be with Wei Guoqiang.

According to my original intention, it would be best if you didn't know this. Now that you know, you won't blame me for not telling you, right?"

After saying that, Tan Zongming looked at Andy nervously, fearing that she would get angry and run back to the United States.

Andy smiled and said, "Old Tan, with such a terrible family and such a terrible past, I can't thank you enough, how could I blame you.

You didn't let me know because it was for my own good. Otherwise, if I knew about it, I might not know what I would do. "

"Andy, I'm glad you can think so calmly."

Tan Zongming looked at Andy in front of him and felt that she was a little different. Thinking about how Andy could face things so calmly, and considering what Han Tao had just said, he knew that there was something between the two of them that he didn't know.

"I have to thank Han Tao for this. Last time Wei Guoqiang showed up, I really couldn't control myself. Later, he talked to me a lot, and I figured it out.

This family background and these genes are not something I could have chosen. I haven't gone crazy yet and still have an extraordinary mind. I should feel happy and fortunate."

Tan Zongming was stunned for a moment, then sighed again: "Andy, it seems that I was right. You should make more friends and be more outgoing. You can't always keep yourself closed off."

Chapter 743 Qiu Yingying is in love

"That's right, ever since I met the girls on the 22nd floor, I feel like I'm a real person. Even though they're noisy, they help me a lot.

Especially Han Tao. If Han Tao hadn't told me that, I might have really believed what Wei Guoqiang said.

He also said that they regretted and felt guilty, which is ridiculous. If they really wanted to find my mother, how could they not find her?

After all, my mother, my brother and I have lived in Daishan for so many years, but I have never seen them once.

It's simply that they feel they've finally gotten rid of the burden, so they don't want to bother with us anymore.

Now they are making up excuses to make me believe that they are innocent and had no choice. This is really wishful thinking.

Even if they had to leave my mother and grandmother, why did they find Xiao Ming later but ignore him for so many years?

Even if Xiao Ming is not Wei Guoqiang's child, he doesn't want to admit it. But why doesn't my grandfather want to admit it either?

My mother was already dead by then, and I was missing. Xiao Ming was her only blood relative, and he hadn't fallen ill. If He Yunli really felt guilty, why didn't he take Xiao Ming away?"

As Andy spoke, he became a little agitated. He drank another bottle of water to calm down a little and continued:

"In the final analysis, the two of them didn't want to find us at all. They hoped that we would all die so that they would be relieved.

Otherwise, they would not have left Xiao Ming alone in the orphanage and ended up in what he is now.

So the story fabricated by Wei Guoqiang is illogical. They just didn’t expect that I was still alive.

Now that I've returned to China, they're afraid I'll expose the story of him and He Yunli abandoning their wives and children, so they want me to recognize them, using family ties to hold me hostage."

In fact, when Andy thinks about it now, she can't help but tremble. Wei Guoqiang came to see her twice. Once Wei Wei brought her, and the second time he came alone.

At that time, Andy also asked Wei Guoqiang what he would do if he knew his mother was pregnant. Wei Guoqiang's answer was to have an abortion. Perhaps this was the fuse that eventually drove his mother crazy.

Finally, Andy asked what she would have done if he had found her. Wei Guoqiang's answer was to strangle himself and then walk away. She really couldn't imagine that such words could come from a father's mouth.

During those days, Andy felt so painful that he couldn't think, and his mind was blank. It was only after Han Tao saw it, helped analyze the situation and persuaded him that he cheered up.

Seeing her expression, Tan Zongming patted the back of Andy's hand and said worriedly, "Andy, Andy, you need to calm down. Since you already know their true colors, why bother getting angry?"

"Old Tan, I'm not angry, I just think it's abominable that they treated Xiao Ming like that, and I feel sorry for Xiao Ming.

If they had taken Xiao Ming away at that time, I think Xiao Ming would probably not have developed the disease and would not have become what he is today."

After Andy finished speaking, Han Tao suddenly remembered the original plot and reminded her, "Andy, speaking of Xiao Ming, I want to remind you.

Don't rush to work tomorrow. I'll have someone go with you to Daishan to get custody and support for Xiao Ming."

Andy didn't understand why Han Tao suddenly brought this up, and asked in confusion: "I don't understand what you mean. I am Xiao Ming's sister, his only relative!"

Han Tao shook his head, "Andy, you overlooked one thing, Xiao Ming not only has you as his sister, but also a biological father.

He originally lived in a nursing home and looked like a fool, so his father didn't think about him at all.

But it’s different now. Xiao Ming has a rich sister like you, so they will inevitably have other thoughts.

The most likely scenario is that they'll snatch Xiao Ming away and ask you for child support. This is much easier than earning money by working, and you can get more. As long as you care about Xiao Ming, you'll definitely not refuse or agree."

"No, I can give you money, but Xiao Ming is my only family. I can't let anyone take him away, and I can't allow anyone to separate us again!"

When Andy heard that Xiao Ming might be separated from him, he immediately thought of what his mother said before she died: take good care of his younger brother and not let him be bullied.

That was the time when her mother was most lucid in her memory, or perhaps it was a last moment of clarity, when she regained consciousness.

Han Tao agreed, "Don't worry, I won't let anyone take Xiao Ming away. I'll send someone over tomorrow, and you two can go to Daishan together to get custody and support.

In this way, even if other people have any intentions, they cannot snatch Xiao Ming from you, cannot hurt Xiao Ming, and cannot use this to threaten you.

People are greedy and will do anything for money. If you really cared about Xiao Ming, you wouldn't have ignored him for so many years."

"Thank you, Han Tao. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have been passive. Most importantly, Xiao Ming would have been hurt.

After all, human nature is the most fragile. If Wei Guoqiang can find Xiao Ming, then his family can definitely be found as well."

Andy really didn't think of this, but after hearing Han Tao's words, he remembered the issue of custody and guardianship.

Although legally speaking, Andy, as Xiao Ming's sister, has the guardianship and custody rights of Xiao Ming, if Xiao Ming's father comes to fight for it, she will be in a passive position.

Only by obtaining the custody documents from the court, you won’t have to worry about this problem in the future. At least Xiao Ming will not be taken away by the other party at will.

When Tan Zongming heard Han Tao say this, he also agreed with this approach. He couldn't imagine what would happen to Andy if Xiao Ming was taken away, and whether he could still remain calm.

The three of them discussed the issue of custody and guardianship, and Han Tao explained every detail to Andy to prevent her from feeling uneasy.

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

After resolving this matter, there was no need for several people to stay in the company, so Tan Zongming invited Han Tao and Andy to have a sumptuous dinner before parting.

However, when Han Tao and Andy returned to Ode to Joy, they unexpectedly ran into a particularly happy Qiu Yingying in the elevator.

After they exchanged greetings, Han Tao looked at her and smiled, "Xiao Qiu, you're so happy and giggling while holding something. Did something good happen to you?"

Qiu Yingying chuckled, "Brother Han, you and Andy are not allowed to laugh at me. This is a gift from someone else."

Hearing this, Andy couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "Wow, Xiao Qiu, are you in love again? Not bad, someone even gave you a gift."

"Oh, Andy, actually we're not really in a relationship. He just treated me to a few meals and gave me gifts twice."

Qiu Yingying's face flushed red as she looked at Andy a little embarrassedly, "What do you think I should do? Should I treat him back?"

Andy and Han Tao smiled at each other and nodded, "Xiao Qiu, what does he do for a living and how did you two know each other?

But out of courtesy, if someone invites you to dinner and gives you a gift, you should certainly treat them back."

"Andy, his name is Ying Qin, he is a fellow villager of mine, and we met at my internet marketing center.

He's a dog engineer who always works overtime, so he asked me to buy coffee. He seems quite down-to-earth.

Andy nodded. "That sounds good. I'm more interested in technology, but for some reason I ended up in finance."

Han Tao also nodded and said, "That's true. Generally speaking, people who work in technology make more stable money, especially those in IT, who don't have so many tricks.

The most important thing is that you like him and he likes you, and you can feel happy together. This is more important than anything else.

It's just a relationship, nothing much has happened yet, there's no need to worry too much about it. Life goes by in a flash, and being happy is the most important thing."

Qiu Yingying nodded and said cheerfully, "Yes, being happy is the most important thing. Just like Sister Fan said, I shouldn't worry too much."

"That's right, Xiao Qiu. You can definitely ask Fan Xiaomei about this kind of thing. She has the most experience." Andy reminded her with a smile when he heard her mention Fan Shengmei.

In her opinion, among the three girls in 2202, Fan Shengmei is definitely the one with more experience in both work and love.

Chapter 744 Andy's Concerns

After leaving Shengxuan, Wei Guoqiang did not go home, but asked the driver to drive to the hospital to see He Yunli.

At this time, He Yunli's condition was not as serious as he said. Although he was hospitalized, he was still in the so-called dying stage. The doctor's diagnosis was that he would probably survive the New Year in three or four months.

Wei Guoqiang's visits to Shengxuan these times were not only to meet Andy, but also mainly to test her because he suspected that Andy had inherited the mental illness of her mother and grandmother.

If Andy also has the possibility of illness, it will be very beneficial for him to transfer his father-in-law He Yunli's inheritance in the future. Because Andy is He Yunli's blood relative, she is the most qualified to inherit the inheritance.

If Andy really suffers from a mental illness, he can obtain guardianship legally and reasonably, and he can also freely dispose of the inheritance left by He Yunli.

But today's attempt was not ideal. Andy acted hysterically the first time, and she looked very similar to when her mother had an attack. It seemed that she might have an attack if stimulated a few times.
