Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

"You're so confused! Look, grandma has told me this so many times, but I forgot it in my busy life. I'll go change it right away!"

Aunt Jia explained awkwardly, then removed the long plate of stir-fried dishes from the table and walked back to the kitchen to replace it with a round plate for stir-fried dishes.

Jiang Nansun glanced at Grandma Jiang disapprovingly, then whispered to Zhang Anren, who was confused, "Grandma is just too picky!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Anren smiled awkwardly, did not respond, and sat quietly.

Grandma Jiang was quite satisfied with his performance. She nodded with a smile and said, "Xiao Zhang, what's your name?"

"Grandma, my name is Zhang Anren!"

Seeing Jiang Nansun's grandmother asking him, Zhang Anren quickly stood up and answered.

"Hurry up and sit down. Didn't I tell you to treat it like your own home? There's no need to be so restrained!"

Grandma Jiang told him to sit down, then looked up and down at the gentle-looking Zhang Anren, nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Xiao Zhang, you're quite good-looking. Judging from your face, you'll be a promising person in the future!"

After that, she didn't wait for Zhang Anren's response, but looked at her son Jiang Pengfei on her left and suggested with a smile:

"Pengfei, if they can get married, I think we should let them get married sooner! Nansun is not young anymore, and you can't keep a girl. What do you think?"

"Mom, I will consider this matter. Nansun is my daughter, and I must find a good home for her."

After saying that, Jiang Pengfei glanced at Zhang Anren, who looked delighted.

Since his own mother had said so, he could only respond insincerely.

Grandma Jiang knew that her son was just trying to get rid of her, so she rolled her eyes at him and stopped pestering him.

Instead, he turned to look at the imposing Han Tao and the well-behaved Zhu Suosuo and said with a smile:

"Suosuo, you are Nansun's best friend. Grandma has never treated you as an outsider. Grandma is so happy for you that you can find such an outstanding boy like Xiaohan!

You two are a match made in heaven. For a girl, finding a man you can rely on for the rest of your life is the most important thing!

Don't blame me for being nosy. You should also consider getting married sooner. It's not easy to meet the right person. I hope you can all be happy!"

Seeing that Grandma Jiang shifted the topic to herself, Zhu Suosuo blushed and said coquettishly:

"Thank you, grandma, you are so kind to me!"

"Okay, Suosuo is the most obedient!"

Grandma Jiang nodded slightly at Zhu Suosuo, then looked at Han Tao beside Jiang Pengfei and said:

"Xiao Han, Suosuo is a kind-hearted girl. You must cherish her and protect her for the rest of your life.

A girl's only support is her lover. I hope you can help her not worry about life anymore, just like Pengfei's father treated my grandmother. He made sure I had enough food and clothing for the rest of my life!"

"Grandma, don't worry, I will definitely cherish Suosuo and make her the happiest woman.

She has suffered so much in the past, and I will make it up to her one by one in the future. I promise that she will have a life of luxury!"

Han Tao nodded in agreement. He knew that Grandma Jiang came from the feudal era and was born into a wealthy family. Her definition of marriage was different from that of young people. She had followed the rules all her life, and some of her old ideas could not be changed!

Hearing Han Tao's answer, Grandma Jiang nodded with a smile on her face and said:

"Okay, I'm relieved to hear you say that. Come on, let's all start eating!"

"Don't worry about it, eat!"

Jiang Nansun patted Zhang Anren's hand, then glanced at her grandmother, pouted and picked up the chopsticks. She couldn't stand her grandmother's fussy attitude the most.

Zhu Suosuo smiled at Han Tao. In this atmosphere, she was afraid that Han Tao would be unhappy if she pulled him away.

In fact, Han Tao understood the old lady very well. After all, Grandma Jiang came from a wealthy family and had lived in the bustling city center of Shanghai since she was a child. She led a life of luxury and enjoyed the treatment of being served by servants.

She has the living habits of the upper class, the temperament and cultivation of a lady, and every move she makes is full of elegance.

The table should be filled with dishes, different dishes should be served on different plates, the butterfly cakes should be ordered from international restaurants, the ingredients for eight-treasure rice should be purchased from specific places, and the red bean paste should be peeled by hand, not in a blender.

Whether she was rich or broke, Grandma Jiang's aristocratic lady-like elegance never changed. This persistence and thinking had long been flowing in her blood.

………………

Chapter 105 Father-daughter conflict

When Grandma Jiang spoke, everyone was about to pick up their chopsticks, but suddenly there was a clattering sound of porcelain colliding on the table.

"Ping-Ring-Ring!"

Han Tao looked in the direction of the sound and saw a familiar scene before his eyes. He saw Zhang Anren frantically arranging cups filled with hot rice wine. The table in front of him was full of overflowing hot water and rice wine.

Looking at the slightly embarrassed Zhang Anren, Jiang Nansun hurriedly asked with concern:

"Be careful, didn't you get any?"

"it's okay no problem!"

Zhang Anren blushed and responded to Jiang Nansun awkwardly.

Seeing this, Grandma Jiang put down her dishes and chopsticks expressionlessly and shouted towards the kitchen: "Aunt Jia, bring a rag!"

"I'm coming!"

Hearing Grandma Jiang's instructions, Aunt Jia hurried out of the kitchen with a rag.

Seeing Zhang Anren was dealing with the rice wine and hot water on the table in front of him, she hurried forward to help and said:

"I'll come, I'll come, you don't have to worry about it, I'll do it.

Drink slowly, and if your clothes get dirty, they're hard to clean, so wipe them with a napkin!"

"Got it, thank you, Auntie!"

While thanking him, Zhang Anren wiped the table with a napkin, his face full of embarrassment and awkwardness.

"Hey!"

Looking at the embarrassed Zhang Anren, Jiang Pengfei shook his head in disgust and said to Han Tao:

"Xiao Han, I didn't have time to ask you just now, which new stocks do you want to invest in? Do you have any reliable information? What will the future trend be like?"

Han Tao took a sip of rice wine, then thought for a moment and replied truthfully:

"Uncle Jiang, the stocks I'm optimistic about recently are all in the pharmaceutical industry and excellent new internet companies.

In particular, there is a company called Baofeng Technology, which was listed on the ChiNext board at the end of last month with an issue price of 7.14 yuan per share.

The stock has hit the daily limit three or four times in a row in the past few days. This kind of enterprise is rare in the stock market. I think its Internet genes will be sought after by countless capitals. If it is invested in the short term, the returns should be very considerable.

However, I still reserve my opinion. Although the new stock has good momentum, you still need to be cautious when investing. It is best to withdraw at least half of your principal while you are making money now.

"Oh, is the new stock you invested in so strong? I'll keep an eye on it later. I have to seize opportunities like this."

Hearing Han Tao's words, Jiang Pengfei nodded slightly, automatically filtering out the advice. He just secretly took note of this stock in his mind and planned to pay attention to it later.

But remembering that all his money was in the stock market and he didn't have much liquidity, he looked at Zhang Anren again and said:

"Xiao Zhang, do you see that? This is vision and perspective. Even someone of Han Tao's status is optimistic about stocks, but you said you only care about holding on to a house. How can I trust Nansun to you?"

After saying this, he thought of something and continued to lecture without waiting for Zhang Anren's response:

"Don't miss the opportunity. Do you know when the best investment opportunity is? One was ten years ago, and the other is now.

Since you say you don’t understand, you should hurry up and sell that house in the outer ring of Pudong, and then give me the cash. I will help you buy the bottom of the stock market. Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared!

Of course, bottom fishing in the stock market requires confidence. From now on, whether it's you or me, you should communicate more with elites like Han Tao. That way, your imagination will be broadened! Am I right, Xiao Han? "

Hearing this, Han Tao was furious. Jiang Pengfei was simply bringing hatred upon him. This jerk not only cheated his mother and daughter, but now he was even being cheated on. He really wanted to give him a big slap on the neck.

There must be something hateful about pitiful people. Han Tao suppressed his anger and put down his chopsticks helplessly.

"Uncle, everyone has their own aspirations. I think when it comes to stock trading, one should do it within one's means. Burning one's boats is not advisable.

Today's stock market is volatile. If you have extra money, you can try it. If you make money, it will be icing on the cake, and if you lose, it won't hurt you much.

However, when it comes to selling a house to invest in stocks, one should be cautious. I think it's best not to try this method lightly, as all investments are risky.

"Oh, how come you don't understand my painstaking efforts? I'm doing this for their own good!"

Seeing that Han Tao did not object to stock trading but did not speak for him, Jiang Pengfei sighed and slapped his thigh.

Seeing that no one responded for a long time, he could only write and perform it himself. He looked at Zhang Anren again and urged:

"Xiao Zhang, you have to make your own judgment. I said before that you took the first step very well, right?

Now I think you should take the second step. We are different from Han Tao. We don’t have so much idle funds, so I think you should sell the house and buy stocks at a low price.

If you don't have confidence, just sell the house and give the money to me, and consider it a loan from me.

When I make money, I will return it to you with interest. Then you can buy a big house in the city center as your wedding home. Next year, you and Nansun will get married and have children. Isn’t that wonderful?”

Zhang Anren was so annoyed when he saw that Jiang Pengfei was still obsessed with her and wanted to buy his own house.

But in order to be with Jiang Nansun, and not to easily lose this perfect springboard, he suppressed his anger, pretended not to know and looked at Jiang Pengfei, his face full of confusion.

"I'm sorry, uncle, I didn't understand what you just said!"

Hearing Zhang Anren's answer, Han Tao almost laughed out loud. People like him who relied on themselves to get a doctorate from Shanghai University, who could become an assistant teacher and even stay in school, and who could come to Shanghai from remote rural areas to buy a house and settle down.

It's understandable if you say he didn't have a deep understanding of the matter, but who would believe him if he said he didn't understand what Jiang Pengfei meant at all, or even had no idea what stocks were?

In Han Tao's opinion, what Zhang Anren lacks is self-confidence. In fact, he is already very outstanding. If it weren't for his father, he would definitely be the best among his peers.

However, he was unwilling to sell the house to invest in stocks, but he didn't dare to refuse directly. He pretended to be ignorant to delay time, waiting for Jiang Nansun to refuse Jiang Pengfei and then get himself out of it. This was simply a despicable and mean act!

In this regard, he is a bit too irresponsible, even calculating his own girlfriend, which is a bit unmanly. If you don't want to sell it, then you don't want to sell it. Can he put a knife to your neck to sell it?

Anyway, Jiang Nansun is devoted to you, so you just need to be frank and clear about it. Jiang Pengfei is the kind of person, the more you are so submissive, the more he will look down on you!

"Zhang Anren, you don't need to ask, and you don't need to understand! Everyone's path is different, there's no set first or second step.

Dad, Zhang Anren will never sell the house to speculate in stocks, so just give up on this idea!

As expected, without waiting for Zhang Anren to speak, Jiang Nansun directly rejected it on his behalf.

In Jiang Nansun's eyes, Zhang Anren was impeccable. When they were together, he would not let her do any housework and would always call her Princess Jiang.

So in Jiang Nansun's eyes, Zhang Anren is the man who loves her most in the world.

Seeing that his daughter was still leaning against the wall, Jiang Pengfei waved his hand impatiently and said,

"Xiao Zhang, don't listen to Nansun. She says she doesn't care about anything right now, and she doesn't care about anything. That's because she hasn't reached that point yet."

Jiang Pengfei paused for a moment, took a sip from his glass, and then leaned back in his chair with a proud demeanor and continued:

"Let me tell you, if you really have nothing after marriage, don't say you have nothing. Take eating as an example.

Seven days a week, if the breakfast is repeated one day, or if there is too much sugar in the Tremella soup she eats at home in the evening, she will complain there!

So, Comrade Xiao Zhang, if you want to marry Nansun, you can't just bring a few boxes of nutritional supplements and a few bags of snacks to get her, understand?"

Jiang Nansun opened her mouth, but didn't know how to refute for a moment, so she could only choose to remain silent. Seeing that she lowered her head and remained silent, Zhang Anren was even less sure to respond.

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

Chapter 106 The child should have the surname Jiang

Seeing that both of them were silent, Jiang Pengfei looked at Aunt Jia who was serving soup to the table and said proudly:

"Aunt Jia, tell me, is this what I said?"

"Yeah!"

Aunt Jia was serving the soup while looking at Jiang Nansun, who was secretly angry, with some embarrassment, and said with a stiff upper lip:

"Our young lady has always eaten and used the best things since she was a child, so if there's something wrong with her, she'll definitely feel uncomfortable!"

After saying that, she hurried back to the kitchen, away from this place of trouble.

As the saying goes, when gods fight, mortals suffer. She is very clear about her identity. Her mission is to cook good food, and it is better for her not to get involved in other things.

Zhang Anren knew the conditions of Jiang Nansun's family, and he also knew that what Aunt Jia said was correct. He was just one class apart from her, so he was speechless.

Feeling the awkward atmosphere, Zhu Suosuo looked at Han Tao with an apologetic look.

Han Tao saw that Zhu Suosuo was afraid that he would be unhappy, so he gave her a reassuring look.

Seeing that neither Zhang Anren nor his daughter could refute his words, Jiang Pengfei looked at Han Tao and Zhu Suosuo, who were communicating with each other, and said:

"Xiao Han, they are both confused by the situation. Do you think my motivation for letting Zhang Anren sell his house and invest in stocks was for their own good?"
