Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

But look at her daily outfit, a pair of flat shoes for 200 yuan, a bag for 300 yuan. All her outfits added together may not be as expensive as a pair of Wang Manni's shoes.

Moreover, Zhong Xiaoqin does not value her career as much as Wang Manni, nor does she have as much ambition and aspirations as Gu Jia. She just wants someone who cares about her.

Even though I have known Gu Jia for a long time, Gu Jia has always pursued high quality.

But after so many years, she has not been affected at all, and the two of them have been able to be best friends for so many years, which is enough to show that Zhong Xiaoqin is simple and kind by nature and has a pure personality.

Let’s look at Wang Manni. She has strong personal abilities. Her monthly salary was nearly 20,000 yuan before, and she was the store’s top seller almost every month, but her spending power is also very strong.

After 8 years in Shanghai, Wang Manni has nothing. After all, she has to rent a good house with a balcony with a monthly salary of 8500 yuan, buy 4 pairs of shoes worth 3000 yuan a year, and also have to use daily cosmetics. She is really a typical moonlighter.

The key point is that even with Gu Jia, a good friend with a good financial mind, Wang Manni only learned to pursue a high-quality life, but did not learn anything useful for her career and growth from her.

Her exquisite poverty is entirely due to the deviation of her values. If her personal abilities catch up with Gu Jia, her high consumption will be in line with her identity and status.

But on the contrary, she squeezed into the bus, ate instant noodles and boxed lunches, drank bottled water that cost 100 yuan, and at the same time spent money lavishly to buy herself clothes.

Fortunately, after meeting Han Tao, in order to not be left behind, she began to work hard to learn and improve herself, and even studied financial management and business administration in an effort to improve her knowledge base.

So when he is with Zhong Xiaoqin, Han Tao can feel relaxed, light, simple and carefree.

In this comparison, Han Tao definitely prefers the simple and relaxed Zhong Xiaoqin more.

………………

Brothers, it’s been a day and I’ve had a high fever of 38.5℃. That’s all for today. Please bear with me for the next two days.

Chapter 777: Zhong Xiaoqin's Father is Hospitalized

Early in the morning, a ray of sunlight shone into the room and Han Tao woke up from a deep sleep. Zhong Xiaoqin, naked, lay in his arms with a happy and sweet smile on her face.

He picked up his phone and checked. It was 5:30 in the morning, which was exactly the time for his daily morning run. So he gently pulled himself out of his arms and prepared to go downstairs to call Gu Jia to go exercise together.

Just when he came out of the shower, a cell phone rang. It was Zhong Xiaoqin's phone, and the caller ID showed it was Mom.

Zhong Xiaoqin opened her eyes dazedly, holding her phone in one hand and holding the quilt in front of her chest with the other hand, and said:

"Hey, Mom, why are you calling so early today?"

"Xiaoqin, your dad is in the hospital, come and see him!"

"My dad is in the hospital!"

Zhong Xiaoqin sat up immediately and asked anxiously, "He was fine before, why did he suddenly end up in the hospital?"

"Uncle Chen from our neighbor's house called your father this morning. I don't know what he said specifically, but your father got anxious after hearing it, and he covered his chest and said it hurt.

I gave him some medicine, but he still didn't get better, so I called 120 for emergency help. Now your father is still in the emergency room. I'm really at a loss now, wuu ...

"Mom, don't cry yet, I'll be there soon!"

After saying that, Zhong Xiaoqin didn't even bother to wash up. She got up, put on her clothes, and ran out.

Han Tao looked at her anxious look, even forgetting to wear shoes, and picked up his phone and things and followed her out, while asking:

"Why are you in such a hurry to go out? I just heard you talking about your uncle on the phone and being hospitalized. What's wrong?"

"My dad was admitted to the hospital again this morning. It might be serious this time. My mom sounded very anxious. I have to hurry over now."

Hearing Zhong Xiaoqin's words, Han Tao handed her the shoes and said, "Xiaoqin, the more anxious you are, the more you should not panic. Tell me which hospital you are in and I will take you there."

"Yes, my mother said it's in the Ninth Hospital!" Zhong Xiaoqin nodded, then followed Han Tao downstairs with a nervous mood.

"Don't be afraid, you have to trust the doctor. Since he has been sent to the hospital, uncle must be fine."

Han Tao held her hand, which felt cold, and couldn't help but persuade her. Although Zhong Xiaoqin nodded, she was still uneasy.

The two drove to the hospital quickly, during which time Han Tao called Gu Jia and his assistant Lin Rui.

Lin Rui was specifically asked to arrange for someone to quickly invite a well-known expert director in the industry, or to suggest that the chief physician of the Ninth Hospital go to the emergency department to assist in the consultation.

Zhong Xiaoqin stood with her mother at the door of the emergency room, hugged her shoulders and comforted her:

"Mom, don't worry. Dad has been controlling his condition very well recently, and Han Tao has already helped to invite an expert in this field. The expert will be here soon. Dad will be fine."

"Well, mom believes your dad will be fine. He also said that he would take care of the child for you. How could he bear to abandon us mother and daughter!"

Zhong Xiaoqin's mother wiped her tears and nodded. Her daughter has grown a lot after experiencing abortion, divorce and other things.

Now that they see that her new boyfriend cares about her so much, they are indescribably happy for her. This is what they want to see most.

My daughter has been pampered by me and my husband since she was a child. We always hold her in our mouths for fear that she would melt, and hold her in our hands for fear that she would fall. We just hope that she can be happy.

In order not to embarrass their daughter, the couple had never disliked the fact that Chen Yu’s family was ordinary and he was not a native of Shanghai.

Even when Chen Yu didn't want them to visit his home or to cook for them, they didn't say anything, just for the young couple to be happy.

But when her daughter Zhong Xiaoqin had a miscarriage, she really saw through this son-in-law. She saw that he was still concerned about the loss of the child, and he actually turned against her for a few fish.

At that time, I had the idea of ​​letting my daughter go home with me. After all, parents cannot take care of their children for their entire lives, so I didn't want to see my daughter suffer any grievances in the future.

What her husband cares about the most and is most worried about is their daughter Zhong Xiaoqin. This time his illness was caused by his anxiety after seeing his daughter being exposed online.

"Mom, when Dad gets better, I'll go home every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to be with you, okay?"

At this time, Zhong Xiaoqin saw her mother crying, and she also started crying, and changed the topic to comfort her.

Only then did she realize that her father and mother had grown old without her noticing, and that she should take on more responsibilities and not always let them worry about her.

"Okay, why not? Ask your dad to make you something delicious, and you and Xiao Han can come back to eat."

"Well, I want a big meal, just like the one my dad made when he gave me his pension a while ago!"

"Okay, let your father follow that standard!"

The two of them were waiting outside anxiously. In order to ease her mother's nervousness, Zhong Xiaoqin kept finding topics to talk about and distract her attention.

While waiting, the expert director invited by Han Tao also arrived. After consultation with the hospital experts, the final plan was finalized and the operation was performed personally by the hospital's chief physician.

Just like that, more than three hours later, the operating room door opened again at noon, and Zhong's mother rushed over and asked:

"Director, Director, how is it going? How is my wife's surgery going?"

"Don't worry, the operation was successful and the patient is out of danger. All he needs to do next is to recuperate well and take medicine on time."

After saying that, Director Liu, the chief surgeon, exchanged a few words with Han Tao and then left with his men. The operation was so long and it was not at all relaxing for them.

After Zhong Xiaoqin's father came out, the nurse and the attending physician sent him directly to the VIP ward.

Mother Zhong looked at the spacious room and asked doubtfully, "Nurse, did you send him to the wrong place? This is not an ordinary ward, right?"

"You're not in the wrong place. Your ward has been changed from the regular ward to the VIP ward, and a professional nurse will be here to take care of the patient soon."

The nurse took a look at the medical record, explained a little and went to prepare the medicine, while Han Tao went to the office with the attending doctor.

When Zhong Xiaoqin's mother saw the nurse leave, she couldn't help but look at Zhong Xiaoqin, "Xiaoqin, did you arrange this? How much does it cost to stay in this kind of ward!"

She was still very supportive of her husband staying in such a ward. After all, a good environment was conducive to physical recovery. However, it was obvious that such a high-end ward was not cheap.

Although the old couple has some savings and a lot of pension, the surgery is not cheap and they need to take good care of themselves in the future. There are still many places to spend money, so they should save as much as possible.

"Mom, your daughter can earn money now, and Han Tao has paid for the surgery and hospitalization fees. He also arranged the ward for us. You don't have to worry about it. As long as Dad can rest assured and recuperate, that's all."

“Xiaoqin, you are a different matter. Although Xiaohan is rich, we can’t just accept him.

He has already helped to invite a specialist to perform surgery on your father, which proves that he cares about you and us. Do I think this is what he should do, you know?"

I was more impressed by Han Tao's thoughtfulness. He had an independent bathroom, a refrigerator, a TV, a water dispenser, and a sofa, so I could stay and take care of the child without worrying about not getting a good rest.

But their attitude must be clear. The old couple will never hold their daughter back, nor will they do anything that will make their daughter be looked down upon.

"Mom, I know. I know what's going on."

Zhong Xiaoqin nodded. Now that her father was fine, she felt much better, so she continued proudly:

"Oh, by the way, Mom, you may not know this, but I've not only been promoted and given a raise, but my novel is also going to be published and adapted, and the adaptation fee starts at two million!"

"How much do you say, the copyright fee is two million?"

Zhong Xiaoqin's mother looked at her daughter in surprise. Seeing her nod, she said happily, "Oh, she is indeed my daughter. She is so amazing!"

"Mom, mom, please keep your voice down and don't disturb Dad's rest. I'm going to go see Han Tao and ask Dad if there's anything else he needs to pay attention to."

"Okay, go ahead. I'll ask Xiao Han to come over later. I want to thank him!"

"Yeah, I get it, mom. You stay with dad! I'll go buy you some breakfast after I understand the situation. I'll be back soon."

After comforting her mother, Zhong Xiaoqin pushed the door open and ran to the attending physician's office. She learned about her father's condition with Han Tao before going downstairs.

When they arrived at the parking lot, Zhong Xiaoqin couldn't hold back any longer and threw herself into Han Tao's arms, hugging his waist tightly and saying:

"Thank you Han Tao, I know this is not a big deal for you, but it's different for us.

And this is the third time you have appeared in time when I needed help the most, and protected me at all costs. Thank you so much! "

Ever since she met Han Tao, Zhong Xiaoqin often compared the present with the past, a man who never cared about her and was never there when she needed him, leaving her to face everything on her own every time.

But Han Tao always appeared when she needed him the most, and did a lot for her without expecting anything in return, which touched Zhong Xiaoqin very much.

Chapter 778 Gu Jia Bids Farewell to the Wives Circle

After chatting for a while downstairs, Han Tao accompanied Zhong Xiaoqin to buy breakfast, and then the two returned to the ward talking and laughing.

When Zhong Xiaoqin's mother saw the two of them coming back, she praised Han Tao profusely. She was just like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law. She was so satisfied and liked him so much no matter how she looked at him.

Finally, the topic turned to Mr. Zhong’s illness. Zhong Xiaoqin’s mother explained the cause of the sudden illness and was very worried about her husband’s future health.

Han Tao and Zhong Xiaoqin knew she was worried, so they comforted her:

"Mom, Han Tao has already arranged for someone to handle my case. When the truth comes out, no one will come to make trouble. You and Dad don't have to worry."

"That's right, Auntie, don't worry about Xiaoqin's online explosion. I will handle it and there will be a result soon.

As for my uncle's illness, I have already learned about it. The operation was very successful. He just needs to rest assured and take medicine on time in the future, and there will basically be no problem.

By the way, I have also contacted a good nursing home. When uncle is discharged from the hospital, we can go there. The environment there is very good."

When Zhong's mother heard Han Tao say this, she said a little embarrassedly: "Xiao Han, there's no need to be so troublesome. Just let Xiaoqin's father recuperate at home."

"Auntie, it's not a problem. The nursing home is run by a friend of mine. It's not far from Shanghai. You can go home anytime. It's only an hour or two away.

If you are worried about not being able to adapt, you can try living there for a while after your uncle is discharged from the hospital. If you like it, you can stay here permanently. If you don’t get used to it, you can come back.”

"Well... well, thank you, Auntie, for worrying about Xiaoqin and her father!"

"Auntie, it's too polite of you to say that. What's the relationship between Xiaoqin and me? Please don't be polite."

Hearing Han Tao's words, Zhong's mother stopped talking and just nodded happily, muttering to herself:

"Of course I am. It would be awkward if I were too polite to my daughter's boyfriend!"

Zhong Xiaoqin also looked at Han Tao with eyes full of happiness, and couldn't help but think of what her best friend Gu Jia said: No matter how capable a woman is, she still needs someone to rely on, let alone someone like her who doesn't have strong abilities!

Just as she was daydreaming, Gu Jia called to inquire about the situation after sending Xu Ziyan to kindergarten.

Zhong Xiaoqin explained briefly, and Gu Jia felt relieved when she learned that Zhong Xiaoqin's father was fine.

She originally planned to come over and take a look as soon as possible, but was stopped by Zhong Xiaoqin's mother.

After hanging up the phone, the three of them chatted for a while. Seeing that her father hadn't woken up yet, Zhong Xiaoqin urged Han Tao:

"It's getting late, you should go and do your work. I'll call you if there's anything else."

Han Tao smiled and responded, "No hurry, I'll wait until my uncle wakes up before leaving. Otherwise, if there's anything you need to run around for, I can help!"

"No, you're so busy. Work is more important. I and my mom are here, and there's a nurse too!"

"All right!"

Han Tao nodded, then said goodbye to Zhong's mother, "Then I'll leave this place to you. Goodbye, Auntie. I'm going to work first. Ask Xiaoqin to call me if you have anything."

"Okay, go do what you need, don't worry about this."

Mother Zhong agreed with a smile, then sent Han Tao to the door of the ward and asked Zhong Xiaoqin to take him downstairs.

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

At the same time, after finishing the call, Gu Jia was not idle either. After making an appointment, she drove to Xinghan Building.

Because Han Tao had informed in advance, Lin Shaotao received Gu Jia warmly. He also called relevant personnel from several branches to the head office and quickly negotiated the purchase contract.

It was already noon when she got home. Gu Jia looked at the time, then took a shower, changed her clothes, and stuffed a few empty cans of mountain tea into her bag.
