Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

"This is not a question of whether you spend money or not, it's about whether you are sure you can give up your current life for Zhang Anren?

I know what's going on between you two. He usually chooses to eat in the cafeteria with you!

Nansun, I can't even remember the last time he asked you out for dinner. Do you remember? "Poor couples have many sorrows, don't you know that?"

After saying that, Zhu Suosuo looked at Jiang Nansun helplessly. She was completely defeated by this overly idealistic best friend.

Jiang Nansun did not pay attention to Zhu Suosuo's advice, but replied arrogantly:

"Anyway, I don't care about that much. As long as Zhang Anren loves me, that's enough. No matter what time, I still say the same thing: love is enough to satisfy one's hunger, but indifference is enough to keep one's house cold!"

"I've told you many times that those are just stories made up by men to trick girls, why don't you listen?"

Zhu Suosuo curled her lips and glared at her with a look of disappointment.

Jiang Nansun replied to Zhu Suosuo with a knowing look: "You, you just value those material possessions too much!

Zhang Anren isn't reluctant, he's saving money to support me and to pay off our mortgage. Stop saying bad things about him!"

"Nansun, you are too deeply poisoned. Life is not a fairy tale. You always have to face the daily necessities of life!

Although money is not the most important thing, it is also indispensable. Anyway, I have chosen Brother Han, he can let me have a home of my own! "

After saying that, Zhu Suosuo couldn't help but think of Han Tao, and every little detail of their time together kept flashing through her mind.

"Zhu Suosuo, you are too vulgar and hopeless!"

Jiang Nansun curled her lips and continued to eat the crabs on the plate.

"You don't know how to appreciate your blessings. Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang have protected you so well. You have never experienced the life of a poor person, so it's hard for you to understand the bitterness of it!"

After saying that, Zhu Suosuo looked at Jiang Nansun, who was ignorant of the world, and couldn't help feeling sad. The other party was like a white lotus, while she was like a lotus root in the mud.

Seeing Zhu Suosuo was a little sad, Jiang Nansun smiled and touched her hand, then changed the subject:

"Okay, Suosuo, don't you have Mr. Han now? Don't worry, your dream of moving out of your uncle's house will probably come true soon!"

"It doesn't really matter if I don't buy a house. What I want to do most now is to move out, even if it means renting a house.

Of course, it would be even better to be with Brother Han. Actually, I’m quite scared. He’s so outstanding, I’m just afraid that one day he’ll dislike me!

After hearing what Jiang Nansun said, Zhu Suosuo came back to her senses and sighed with some worry.

"No, you're already very good, Suosuo. You're so smart, sensible, and pretty. I believe Mr. Han must like you very much."

"I hope so! Let's not talk about this anymore, let's celebrate. Congratulations on successfully drawing a line with your father and gaining an ally in your mother!"

Zhu Suosuo looked at Jiang Nansun with a smile. She was very confident about her appearance, so she didn't worry about it.

Hearing her bestie mention her father, Jiang Nansun shook her head slightly and sighed:

"After you left that day, not only did I have a fight with Dad, but I also saw him taking Grandma's passbook. I guess he asked Grandma for money!"

"Uncle took grandma's passbook?" Zhu Suosuo looked at her in confusion and asked.

Jiang Nansun nodded: "Actually, grandma doesn't have much money anymore. He has squandered it all on stock speculation over the years. Our family only looks prosperous now!"

Hearing Jiang Nansun say this, Zhu Suosuo frowned slightly and said, "Since grandma doesn't have much money left, why is uncle still asking grandma for money? Is it for stock speculation?

Uncle has already invested a lot in stocks, and Brother Han also said that the stock market is not doing well, but grandma doesn't care about him!"

"How could grandma care?"

Thinking of her grandmother's feudal ideology of favoring sons over daughters, Jiang Nansun shook her head slightly and said in a mocking tone:

"It's natural for a son to ask for money, and he deserves to spend as much as he wants. But a granddaughter is a money-loser, and she will belong to someone else in the future, so her principle is to never give a penny!"

"It's okay, Nansun. If your family really runs out of money one day, I, Zhu Suosuo, will support you. I will make sure you're a happy Princess Jiang for the rest of your life!"

Knowing that what Jiang Nansun said was true and seeing that she was depressed, Zhu Suosuo responded to her both jokingly and seriously.

Looking at her best friend, Jiang Nansun smiled with relief, then shook her head and said:

"Thank you Suosuo. If that day ever comes, I'll work and support myself. Besides, I still have Zhang Anren. He'll make money to support me!"

"Okay, we won't rely on anyone but ourselves!"

Hearing Jiang Nansun say this, Zhu Suosuo knew that she could no longer persuade her, so she didn't mention it anymore. Instead, she smiled and patted her hand to encourage her.

"Yes, we don't rely on anyone!" Jiang Nansun smiled happily.

Zhu Suosuo laughed along, but she had something on her mind. After laughing for a while, she frowned slightly and said:

"By the way, Nansun, I have something to tell you. I got the news this morning that my dad will be back in the next few days!"

Jiang Nansun glanced at Zhu Suosuo and saw that she had restrained her smile and was a little sad and depressed, so she smiled and said with concern:

"Uncle will be back in six months, right? He'll come back to see you!"

"No, there's nothing good about me. Every time he sees me, he'll be reminded of my mom leaving without saying goodbye. It makes him so angry!"

"Suosuo!" Jiang Nansun held her hand with heartache.

Zhu Suosuo shook her head and adjusted her mentality before speaking again: "Haha, he came back this time to show me his new wife!"

"It's been tough on my uncle these past few years, I think this is a good thing!"

Hearing this, Jiang Nansun held her hand even tighter and felt even more distressed for her.

Zhu Suosuo forced a smile and replied, "Of course it's a good thing. I must bless him. I wish him happiness, happiness, and hope he finds true love!"

"Cheer up, Suosuo! Your dad is much better than mine. In my dad's eyes, stocks are his true love. Having money to buy stocks is happiness!"

Jiang Nansun smiled and not only persuaded Zhu Suosuo, but also complained about her father.

Zhu Suosuo also sighed: "But your mother is better than my mother!"

"Your aunt treats my grandmother the same way we treat each other!"

After saying that, Jiang Nansun looked at her with a smile.

Knowing her bestie was just teasing her, Zhu Suosuo said jokingly, "No, I still have Mr. He, one point for that!"

"I have Zhang Anren, and I want one more!"

Seeing Zhu Suosuo showing off her boyfriend in front of her, Jiang Nansun looked at her proudly with a look of arrogance on her face.

"Okay, let's call it a draw!"

Feeling the vibration of her phone, Zhu Suosuo checked and replied while joking.

Seeing Zhu Suosuo typing on her phone with a sweet look on her face, Jiang Nansun smiled mischievously and said jokingly:

"What about Mr. Han's news? You were talking about me before, but I think you're the one who's been poisoned too deeply. You're showing off your affection after just one day apart. Could it be that you've already..."

"Bah! Nansun, you've become a bad person. Do you dare to say anything?"

Zhu Suosuo blushed and quickly interrupted Jiang Nansun, then glanced at her WeChat account and said:

"Brother Han asked me if I had eaten yet, and he wanted to come over and have dinner with me if he had time today.

You're not in a good mood, so I told him that we're already eating, and after dinner I'll go shopping with you, and go to your place in the evening, and I'll accompany him another day!"

"That's so nice! I thought you would prioritize women over friends!"

Jiang Nansun joked, how could she not know that Zhu Suosuo was worried about her and wanted to be with her.

"Of course, no one can compare to my Princess Jiang, no one!"

Zhu Suosuo looked at Jiang Nansun arrogantly. In fact, she had already sent Nansun's situation to Han Tao and received a reply from Han Tao.

Chapter 116: Planning Daishan

Putting down his phone, Han Tao smiled helplessly. Those who were working hard on their careers, those who valued friends over boyfriends, those who didn't come back from abroad, and those who went back to their parents' homes suddenly became alone.

It seemed that he had more free time this weekend, so after thinking about it, he called Wendy to communicate, and then told Yang Dongxu to go straight to Daishan.

His predecessor had done a lot of charity work in Handong, so after Han Tao traveled through time, he inherited this.

However, Han Tao not only maintained Handong, but also launched a major project. In addition, he also made some donations around Shanghai.

Especially some needy military families and welfare homes for the elderly are given priority support. Daishan Nursing Home is one of them, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

Dean Xiuyuan had made two appointments with Wendy before, but she didn't have time those days. Since she had nothing to do today, she planned to go over and see her.

In order to contact Xiao Ming by the way, Wendy was asked to make some preparations in advance. After all, she couldn't look for Xiao Ming openly, or at least she couldn't reveal the fact that she knew Xiao Ming's identity too early.

Therefore, the purpose of his trip was to inspect the nursing home at an invitation and to increase donations.

Of course, his donation to Daishan Nursing Home was not entirely for Xiao Ming.

The main goal is to improve the living environment of the nursing home, expand its scale, turn the nursing home into a welfare home, and help those in need, as well as other lonely elderly people in Daishan.

There was no conversation along the way. At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Han Tao and Yang Dongxu arrived at Daishan Nursing Home.

As soon as the two got off the car, Director Yang Xiuyuan of the nursing home came over and said:

"You must be Mr. Han, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to visit Daishan Nursing Home!"

"Hello, Dean Yang, I'm Han Tao, nice to meet you!"

Before coming, Han Tao spoke to Dean Yang on the phone in the car. Wendy also greeted him in advance, explained the situation, and said that Han Tao intended to increase the aid funds.

The nursing home has not had sufficient funds in recent years, so Director Yang has been trying her best to support it. Now that Han Tao, a big sponsor, is willing to lend a helping hand, she is grateful from the bottom of her heart.

"Mr. Han, thank you for your previous donation. You have helped us a lot. Because we are not entirely profit-oriented.

Most of the people who come here are elderly people without family to take care of them, so their condition has always been bad. If it weren’t for the support of caring people like you, it would be difficult to sustain treatment!”

"You're too polite, Dean Yang. This is what I should do. If you're poor, you should take care of yourself; if you're rich, you should help the world. Although I don't have the great abilities that the saints talk about, I still have to do what I can.

Compared to most people, I make money more easily, so I should also make some contributions to society."

Han Tao responded politely to Dean Xiuyuan. He admired Dean Yang Xiuyuan from the bottom of his heart. This person could be said to have done good deeds all her life. Not only did she treat Andy's brother very kindly, but she also supported this welfare-type nursing home.

"There aren't many people who think like Mr. Han these days. I sincerely thank you for your kind act on behalf of the elderly."

After saying that, Dean Yang Xiuyuan bowed to Han Tao.

"President Yang is too polite. I don't deserve it. Compared to you, I am quite ashamed."

Han Tao quickly stepped aside and refused to accept the greeting, then politely said:

"Tomorrow is the weekend, and I have more free time, so I plan to stay in Daishan for a day. Director Yang, please take me around the nursing home!"

"No problem, Mr. Han, please follow me!" Dean Yang Xiuyuan said with a smile.

Han Tao nodded: "Then I'll trouble Dean Yang!"

"You're welcome. I'm so happy that you can come and visit the nursing home. How can I say it's a bother?"

As she spoke, Director Yang Xiuyuan led the way, and Han Tao and Yang Dongxu followed her footsteps and visited the entire nursing home.

The situation is just as Director Yang Xiuyuan said. The nursing home's supporting facilities and staffing are indeed poor, and there are very few medical equipment and professionals.

"Director Yang, why are there still young people in our nursing home? What's the situation with that person?"

Han Tao pointed in the distance and saw a naive young man in his twenties sitting alone in the pavilion, looking out of place. The staff members beside him were talking to him one by one.

Dean Yang Xiuyuan looked over at his hand and explained with a smile:

"His name is Xiao Ming, an orphan I took in, a very pitiful child. He used to be in an orphanage, but later the orphanage closed down. The family that adopted him wanted to abandon him because they had their own children and for other reasons.

But he was found by the police, but for some unknown reason the family abandoned him again. After several such incidents, the child became extremely sensitive and had some mental problems.

So this family placed him here, but gave him two months of living expenses and then left him alone. Later, I took him with me and raised him for many years."

Han Tao nodded and said thoughtfully, "Director Yang, I'd like to ask if he really has mental problems. Have you or his family taken him to see a doctor?"

"It's hard to say. Xiao Ming is actually very well behaved and has never done anything extreme. I've taken him to see doctors in the county and city, but his condition isn't good.

In addition, the conditions in the nursing home were limited and funding was even more difficult, so I never went to a larger hospital.

But I don't think Xiao Ming has a mental problem. Apart from his reluctance to communicate with others, he's very well behaved and smart, especially with numbers!"

"Oh, I've come across this kind of situation before. From what you've said, it's possible that Xiao Ming doesn't have a mental illness, but rather autism.

Of course, I'm not a doctor, I'm just analyzing your situation. The specific situation still needs to be confirmed by professional medical staff."

Having said this, Han Tao was silent for a while before continuing:

"President Yang, this time I came here, not only to accept your invitation to come and see the situation on the ground, but also to increase the donation.

But now I see that the conditions in the nursing home are very poor, and the previous donations will not last long.
