Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

Looking at the person outside the door, she asked in surprise: "Landlady, why are you here so suddenly?"

The landlady glanced at the somewhat surprised Wang Manni, and walked the two of them into the house, frowning slightly and saying in a Shanghainese accent:

"What the hell are you talking about? Can't I come to my own house? Besides, I clearly sent you a WeChat message last night, specifically saying that I would come to see the house today.

Speaking of this, I'm surprised that I haven't replied to any messages since last night until this morning."

"I'm sorry, Landlady. I was sick in the hospital yesterday and didn't get back until the early hours of the morning, so I didn't notice the message you sent!"

Wang Manni followed carefully behind and explained the reason.

"It's okay, it's okay! I came here just to talk to you about the house, and it's even better to talk to you in person now."

The landlady responded while waving her hand to indicate that it was okay and walking around the room.

When she saw Han Tao coming out of the bedroom, she exclaimed in surprise: "Oh, there are guests!"

Wang Manni looked at Han Tao nervously and replied, "He's my boyfriend. He's here to take care of me!"

"Little girls are just shy. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. You have good taste. The boy is very handsome!"

The landlady chuckled, teased Wang Manni a few times, and then continued:

"I'm telling you, I'm planning to sell this house. Be mentally prepared! If it's convenient, find a place to move as soon as possible."

Hearing the landlady say this, Wang Manni frowned slightly and said:

"Madam Landlady, we have a contract. I just asked for the rent and you're kicking me out. Isn't that inappropriate? Can you please discuss it?"

"I don't want to either. Let's understand each other. My daughter is getting married, so I have to get a bigger one, don't you think?

As for the contract and rent issue, that's easy to resolve. I can just pass the rent on to you. Oh, and I can also pay you the liquidated damages."

After saying that, the landlady didn't wait for Wang Manni to answer, and directly called the agent over and said:

"Xiao Fang, let me tell you something. This is my tenant, Wang Manni. You two can leave your contact information.

There will be a lot of people looking at the house soon, so it will be easier for you to communicate with each other, and I won’t have to run back and forth.”

Upon hearing this, a short-haired girl from the agency quickly took out her phone and said:

"Hello, Sister Manni. I'm the account manager of Anjia Real Estate. You can just call me Xiaofang. I'll add you on WeChat!"

Wang Manni opened the QR code helplessly, then looked at the landlady and said:

"Landlady, can't you wait a little longer? You didn't tell me beforehand, and now you're asking me to move out of the blue? I haven't even found a new place to live yet!"

"I'm sorry, Miss Wang, but my daughter's wedding date has already been set, so I'm definitely anxious! Besides, I have to sell it here so they can buy it back, so of course the sooner the better!"

Okay, I won't beat around the bush. To put it simply, this matter is truly non-negotiable. I'm just letting you know."

After saying that, the landlady glanced at Wang Manni and the agent who were hesitant to speak.

Seeing that they had already taken the photos, without waiting for Wang Manni to say anything, he hurriedly said:

"Xiao Xu, have you finished filming over there? Let's go after you're done. I still need to talk to you and Xiao Fang about finding a house for me!"

Chapter 97 Wang Manni's Change and Refinement

After the landlady left, Han Tao saw that Wang Manni was a little sad and lost, so he gently embraced her, kissed her on the forehead and said:

"You, is this even worth worrying about? Didn't I tell you that I'm here now, so don't try to handle everything alone?

Just go to the store manager's meeting peacefully. Leave the house matters to me. I can find you a place closer to the Misia store. You've wasted all your time on the road!"

"It's okay, I've just been a little busy these past few days and haven't had time to look for an apartment. You don't have to worry about this. You're so busy, just go to the meeting."

After I finished my talk with the store manager today, I asked the deputy store manager to transfer me to another shift. I'll go find an agent to rent a house this afternoon. I'll call you when I move to my new place!"

Thinking that she couldn't always cause trouble for Han Tao, and that she had already won two big orders, the bonus and commission would be at least hundreds of thousands, enough to cover the rent in the city center, so Wang Manni no longer worried about this matter.

Hearing Wang Manni say this, Han Tao did not dwell on this topic, because he already had his own plans, so he nodded and said:

"Okay, let's talk about this later. We still have plenty of time. I'll take you to Misia first, and then to the company!"

"Okay, let's set off!"

Wang Manni nodded, and the two of them packed up what they needed and prepared to go downstairs.

At the same time, Han Tao also received a call that Yang Dongxu was already in place.

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

More than 20 minutes later, a black commercial vehicle stopped steadily near the Misia store. Han Tao looked at Wang Manni and said:

"Nini, are you just leaving like this?"

Wang Manni didn't know what he meant. She glanced at Han Tao coquettishly, then looked around embarrassedly. She walked up to him, kissed him and said:

"Hurry up and go to work. Don't worry about me. Don't forget to have breakfast when you get to the company..."

"I understand, my housekeeper!"

Looking at the nagging Wang Manni, Han Tao kissed her on the forehead without waiting for her to finish.

Wang Manni gave Han Tao a sanitary look and said, "I can't be a housekeeper for a big lawyer like you. I'm just a small salesperson. Just don't look down on me!"

"Oh, who's jealous?"

Han Tao made a joke, then took out a dazzling diamond necklace, untied it, put it around her neck and said:

"Look, do you like it? Our Nini is so outstanding, she can't wait to feel the pain, how could she dislike it!"

"Eternal Star? This necklace...is not you...!"

The cold touch made Wang Manni's heart move. She subconsciously lowered her head and looked, and a dazzling diamond pendant came into her sight.

So she couldn't help but look up at Han Tao and asked with a trembling voice, but the voice became smaller and smaller.

"You chose it yourself, so I think this one is most suitable and looks best on you."

Having said that, Han Tao looked at Wang Manni, who was hesitant to speak, and said softly:

"Nini, you can't refuse or say anything else. The person who gave the gift will be very sad if he can't give it.

And this is the first time I give you a gift, promise me, take it with you, okay? "

"Well, I know what you mean. Actually, I..."

Wang Manni nodded. She had a lot to say to Han Tao, but she paused when the words came to her lips.

Seeing her hesitant, Han Tao reached out and stroked her nose with his index finger.

"Okay, let's talk about what to say next time we meet, there will be plenty of time in the future. I'm going to be late, bye!"

"Bye!" Wang Manni waved helplessly, watched Han Tao get into the car and leave, then walked into the store.

But before entering Misia, she looked down at the diamond pendant on her chest, feeling mixed emotions.

"Nini, I saw you get out of a very fancy luxury car. The person who got out to say goodbye to you seemed to be Mr. Han, right?"

When Zoe saw Wang Manni come in, she circled around her curiously and asked curiously.

After giving Zoe a blank look, Wang Manni walked into the lounge, and while changing her uniform in front of the locker, said angrily, "Zoe, are you a dog? You can see it from so far away."

Seeing that Wang Manni did not deny it, Zoe's eyes suddenly lit up, and her eyes were full of gossip. She grabbed Wang Manni and asked:

"Nini, something seems to be wrong! You used to be the first one to arrive at the store, but today you are the last one.

And I saw that it was Mr. Han who personally sent you to work. Tell me, what did you do last night?

After saying that, Zoe shook Wang Manni's arm twice.

"Don't talk nonsense. I was hospitalized last night with acute nephritis. I fainted while talking to Mr. Han. He was the one who took me to the hospital..."

Before Wang Manni finished explaining, Zoe accidentally saw her diamond pendant, so her eyes widened slightly and she exclaimed:

"Nini, Mr. Han actually gave you such an expensive diamond necklace. It seems like this was a bloody romantic encounter. Tell me quickly, how did you take him down on the hospital bed?"

Hearing this, Wang Manni slapped her forehead angrily, then changed into her uniform while warning:

"Don't tell anyone else, understand? Otherwise, we won't be sisters anymore!"

Zoe ignored her warning and bumped into Wang Manni with a wicked smile, saying jokingly:

"So, it seems that Mr. Han was a hero who saved the beauty last night, and then you pledged your love to him, right?

Let me guess, he was the one who sent you home when you came out of the hospital last night, so it seems that you are not? "

"Is it that incredible? I'm almost thirty, and finding a man is something that makes you so surprised!"

Wang Manni rolled her eyes at her and replied unhappily.

Zoe looked at her with a smile and said, "Nini, I just think things are moving too fast. You've only met twice, right? How did you do it?"

"It's not as complicated as you think. Didn't I tell you that? I almost fainted in my rental house yesterday. Luckily, I was talking to Mr. Han on the phone before I fainted.

When he saw that I didn't respond, the phone was not hung up, and it was relatively quiet, he thought I was sick.

So he called 120 for me and even knocked open all the doors on the floor for me. If he hadn't sent me to the hospital in time, you probably wouldn't have seen me as a friend!

You can guess what happened next. We are all adults, not just young girls who have just fallen in love. It just happened naturally!"

After listening to her statement, Zoe looked at Wang Manni enviously and nodded:

"That's right. If it were me, I wouldn't give up such a good choice. People like us can't compare with rich people. Happiness must be earned by ourselves!"

"You're the only one who knows the details of this matter, so don't tell anyone else about it. I'll give you a pair of classic high heels later!"

Hearing that Wang Manni wanted to pay her hush money, Zoe was slightly surprised:

"Nini, a pair of classic high heels costs thousands even with a discount. I can't accept it. Your words are enough.

But I have to warn you, you can’t hide it when you wear such a dazzling diamond pendant around your neck!"

"I didn't intend to hide it from anyone at all. It's not something to be ashamed of. Mr. Han is my boyfriend now, so who cares about the gifts he gives me?"

After saying that, Wang Manni rolled her eyes at Zoe, then continued speaking while touching up her makeup in front of the mirror:

"Why are you embarrassed about our family relationship? Just tell me straight out loud whether you want it or not!"

After listening to Wang Manni's explanation, Zoe felt relieved and patted her shoulder.

"Nini, a pair of classic high heels, even if I ask my colleague next door to get the employee price, it'll still cost me three thousand yuan. That's enough to buy several pairs of ordinary high heels. You're really generous!"

"Okay, don't be polite with me. You are my best friend, so of course we should share the benefits.

And now I have come to terms with it. No matter how much money I make, as long as I spend it on things I like, then it’s mine, so we have to be nice to ourselves.

You and I are no longer twenty-year-old girls. It’s not the time to buy things based on style. People in their thirties should pursue quality.”

After saying that, Wang Manni packed up her wardrobe and led Zoe to the hall.

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

Chapter 98 Zhong Xiaoqin

After leaving Misia, Yang Dongxu drove smoothly and promptly and sent Han Tao to the entrance of Lujiazui Center Building.

Before getting off the car, Han Tao gave a few brief instructions and did not ask Yang Dongxu to open the door for him. He got out of the car alone, straightened his suit, and walked towards the lobby of Jingyan Group.

As soon as he entered the hall, Wendy, the administrative secretary, dressed in a dignified and appropriate cheongsam, came towards him gracefully. She smiled and handed Han Tao a document, saying:

"Boss, I've already sent the information you requested to Secretary Fan. These are the documents you'll need for the meeting later, and I've also prepared them for you."

Glancing at the charming secretary, Han Tao smiled and nodded, saying as he walked:

"Thank you, Wendy. You've been busy lately, running back and forth between the law firm and here. Are you still able to handle it?"

"No problem, Boss. Lawyer Chen is watching over the law firm. She's already brought Team Two to try to take over Jingyan's work. I'm just running errands!"

Wendy smiled and shook her head, and briefly told Han Tao about what had happened in the past few days.

Han Tao nodded and said, "That's good. After I'm done with this busy period, I'll give you a short vacation so you can have a good rest for a few days.

By the way, Wendy, isn’t Lawyer Chen’s daughter in the hospital?

Go buy some gifts and go to the hospital for me. Tell her not to worry and to spend more time with the child. After all, I just took over the job here, so I can take it slow."

"I know, boss. I'll take care of it this afternoon."

Wendy nodded in response, then followed Han Tao's footsteps hurriedly towards the elevator.

Han Tao glanced at Wendy with satisfaction and nodded, "Well, don't forget to notify the people in the Legal Department. They'll also be holding a meeting this afternoon."
