Chapter 381 East Palace and West Palace

"In my memory, there is no spring in Yanjing. There is two points and one line. If you can't catch up with the train at 5:50, then the time to arrive at the company is random, maybe 7:30, maybe 8:00, if it is 9:00, then it will be miserable, and it will be in vain for a day."

"This is how traffic in Yanjing is surprising."

"Spring never comes late, but I just don't have time to appreciate it."

On the first day of August, the sun shines in the early morning.

Han Qiao was browsing Douban.com.

The first domestic social networking website was the campus network. The founders were Wang Xing and Wang Huiwen from Tsinghua University and Tianjin University. The founding time was December 2005.

besides.

51.com, Kaixin.com... nothing was there at this time.

Douban.com, the "Qiaolan Network", is the earliest social networking website. Compared with books, videos, it starts with "Douban.com" that provides information about books, movies, music and other works.

"Douban.com" launched by "Qiaolan Network" focuses more on sociality, and "film and television audio" serves as a bridge to find "like-minded" partners.

Once Douban.com was launched, it attracted a large number of netizens to join.

"Same City" template.

Han Qiao was bored and had a long time to go through it, but there was no one who had made an appointment.

Waste website!

"Brother Han, good morning. Are there any work arrangements today?" Yang Tianzhen and neat women's skirt.

The job of a living assistant is very tiring, from work connections to three meals a day, washing underwear, and buying an umbrella in the middle of the night...

There is a legend in the industry that life assistants also need to take into account "waist care".

"Innocent."

After the filming of "Ten-side Ambush", Han Qiao lived a leisurely life, going to bed at 8 o'clock, getting up at 6 o'clock, resting, carrying rice noodles with chopsticks, and asked curiously: "Have you seen the spring in Yanjing?"

"What?" Yang Tianzhen's meat bag was stuck in his hand, with a chubby cheek, with aggrieved eyes, and complained: "Brother Han, since I followed you, I have been going on for 5 nights and 12 o'clock, got up earlier than the chicken, slept later than the dog, and ate more than…"

Han Qiao pointed at the hearty breakfast.

Yang Tianzhen smiled embarrassedly and thought about it seriously. Han Qiao is really good. Some celebrities don’t regard life assistants as human beings.

Putting down the meat bag, Yang Tianzhen said: "In recent years, the spring in Yanjing seems to be getting shorter and shorter. It feels like the spring has passed before long."

“Autumn is also very short.”

"No." Yang Tianzhen sighed in his heart: "A year is very short."

Humble workers, not to mention spring and autumn, return to the rental house safely, lying in bed, and doing nothing, that is the best day.

"Naughty, you've been very tired recently." Han Qiao put down his chopsticks: "In this way, I'll give you a week off and give you another 5,000 bonus. You can go wherever you want."

"I missed spring, don't miss the person I want to meet."

That's right.

Yang Tianzhen has a boyfriend, a college classmate, and is currently preparing to take the civil service exam.

but.

Yang Tianzhen is very busy. Half a year has passed this year. He spends most of his time in Ukraine and more than half of his time in the country.

"ah?"

Yang Tianzhen's eyes widened, the meat bag in her hand fell on the plate, paid leave for one week, and a bonus of 5,000.

His legs were a little weak, and Yang Tianzhen shouted without hesitation: "Brother Han, you are my god."

“Have breakfast.”

Han Qiao was in a good mood, the golden Rolex on his wrist shone with the sun, and it was a simple and boring morning.

After breakfast.

Han Qiao flipped through the information brought by Yang Tianzhen and was preparing to buy a house.

It is miserable. Han Qiao is probably the most miserable rebirth. Other rebirths have luxury houses and countless luxury cars. When they go out, they spend money like soil. When they go in, they will be treated with jade food.

And he.

The property under your name is Siheyuan.

That's it.

Qin Lan lives with his parents in Siheyuan, but he will have no problem going there, so it will be uncomfortable to live there.

Ziyu Villa.

Han Qiao looked at the picture and introduced that he had heard of Ziyu Villa, one of the top ten luxury residential projects in Yanjing.

The geographical location is near the Olympics in the North Fourth Ring Road, and it is a 20-minute drive from the airport. In my impression, it is a high-end villa area in Yanjing.

Han Qiao looked at the location and it was pretty good. After thinking about it, he called Qin Lan.

After giving birth to a child, Qin Lan is actively making a comeback in the past few months. There are currently few TV series and many on the show.

She looks beautiful and has good business skills. Many people in the industry will give priority to her when they see that Han Qiao Desk and have good projects.

When he learned that Han Qiao was going to buy a house, Qin Lan said in a sarcastic tone on the phone: "Why are you looking for me? Sister Yuanyuan, Sister Yuanyuan can't do it, and Xia Wen can do it too."

Yay.

Women can’t be abusive!

Han Qiao said in a gentle tone: "Xiao Lan, if you don't go, how can you buy this house?"

"Stop, it seems like someone is greedy for your property." Qin Lan said, "Your son asks for a house with his wife, buy it for your son."

Hang up the phone.

Han Qiao called Gao Yuanyuan again, yes, the grave was dancing, and the situation is very clear at present.

When the East Palace and the West Palace knew each other, their relationship did not break out.

At this time, we must take advantage of the victory to pursue.

Han Qiao’s idea is to keep testing and lower the bottom line.

This is actually a kind of PUA. In many relationships, girls will constantly ask boys to complete small challenges.

for example.

Boys don’t like to eat coriander, so they insist on eating it. If they don’t eat it, they don’t like it.

A boy is afraid of water and insists on swimming. If he doesn't swim, he can't protect her.

Boys are afraid of heights and insist on pulling bungee jumping. If they don’t jump, they are not brave enough for love.

The boy agreed that his bottom line would continue to "break through" for love and collapse.

Often at this time.

Girls will ask the "ultimate" question: "If I cheat, do you still love me?"

"If you love me, you must forgive me."

Buying a house is the first step.

When the phone was connected, Gao Yuanyuan's voice was gentle: "You finally remember me?"

hiss……

Han Qiao has not seen anyone these days since she came back, and Gao Yuanyuan is in a small mood.

"Sister Yuanyuan, I have been sorting out the movie "Embroidered Chun Dao" these days." Han Qiao found a reason and said directly: "Sister Yuanyuan, let's buy a house."

"Buy a house?" Gao Yuanyuan hesitated on the phone and said, "Xiaoqiao, don't you have a house to live in now?"

She has a house, and there is a villa in Hanqiao in Haidian, and she has never been there even after handing over the house.

Neither of them is greedy for enjoyment. Gao Yuanyuan’s good wife and mother said in a gentle voice: “If there is a lot of money, my friend said the stock market is very good recently.”

This girl can't control money.

"Sister Yuanyuan, how many votes have you voted?" Han Qiao's heart trembled.

"At 8 million." Gao Yuanyuan replied casually, and after finishing, she said confidently: "Xiaoqiao, when the time comes, the principal and income will be about 10 million."

"With this money, I want to open a flower shop."

In addition to filming, she almost always stays with her mother in life, spending very little money and saving money.

Han Qiao's heart was bleeding.

There are a total of 8 million flower shops all over Yanjing City.

He was speechless and said strongly: "Sister Yuanyuan, take all the remaining money with you, just buy a house!"

"I know..." Gao Yuanyuan's voice elongated and complained weakly: "I'm also macho."

…………

1:00 pm.

Near the East Third Ring Road, Han Qiao saw Qin Lan standing under a big tree in the distance.

In midsummer in August, the weather is hot.

She has light blue jeans, floral shirt, and even after giving birth to a baby, she has a slim figure and a pair of well-proportioned and slender legs wearing high heels.

Holding a small white umbrella, no strangers can be approached.

"Xiao Lan..."

"Scum."

Han Qiao's eyes flashed, Qin Lan threw herself into her arms, swung the small sachet and beat her up, and said with grievance: "I'm back and my son doesn't go to see you. He misses his father."

"I'm sorry." Han Qiao felt a little guilty, and then, he hugged Qin Lan, with a rich milky fragrance, and coaxed him: "I've been too busy recently. You also know that Xiuchundao and Wuji are in a row, and I'm under a lot of pressure."

"If it weren't for this." Qin Lan touched Han Qiao's dark circles and felt sorry for Han Qiao, and his tone became soft: "If you are tired, go home."

Great summer.

Han Qiao held an umbrella, Qin Lan held his arm, looked around, and looked worried: "Will the house here be too expensive? I don't know if it's enough."

"Don't worry." Han Qiao felt the heat and smiled: "Honey."

"You have it." Qin Lan was in a good mood and said shyly: "I'm not married."

What a great girl!

Arrive at the intersection.

Han Qiao shouted: "Sister Yuanyuan."

Gao Yuanyuan's white dress, with light makeup, the wind blows her skirt, fresh and natural, with her hands in a small white hat, her eyes burst into joy, and she smiles: "Little..."

His eyes saw Qin Lan beside Han Qiao, and his smile was stiff.

Two women looked at each other from afar.

Han Qiao obviously felt Qin Lan beside him stiff.

In the summer, the air is low.

Qin Lan looked cold and looked at Han Qiao in disappointment, biting her mouth tightly, and blood oozing out.

At this moment.

I feel uncomfortable and my heart is broken.

She knew Han Qiao's fun, so she accepted it.

But.

Han Qiao insisted on sprinkling salt on his torn heart.

In the summer, she clenched the small sachet with both hands, but she stopped talking. In the end, her face turned pale and lost intent, and turned around and left.

"Xiao Lan."

Han Qiao felt so distressed.

To say that he is a scumbag, this is undoubtedly a piercing Qin Lan's heart. He made up his mind and ignored Qin Lan's struggle and hugged Qin Lan's waist.

"Let me go, liar, liar." Qin Lan struggled hard, bit, pinched and tore it, and growled in his throat: "Han Qiao, you are a liar, a big liar."

"Xiao Lan."

Han Qiao let Qin Lan's fist fall on his chest, and his voice bewitched: "Xiao Lan, you are gone, Gao Yuanyuan has not left."

Qin Lan paused, stared at Han Qiao for a while, as if she was demonstrating, and put her arms around Han Qiao's arms, she became a wombat, with a cold face and said stiffly: "She won't leave, I won't leave either."

She is not stupid.

"Scumbag..." Qin Lan felt aggrieved and bit Han Qiao's shoulder.

Gao Yuanyuan didn't expect to meet Qin Lan. Her eyes looked subtle. After thinking about it, she left herself, wouldn't it be a good deal for Qin Lan?

Smiling and saying, "Qin Lan."

"Xiaoqiao." Gao Yuanyuan's voice was calm, she thought for a while, and said sourly: "I'm here or not."

You and Qin Lan bought a wedding house.

I am the third party.

Gao Yuanyuan felt very uncomfortable.

"No."

"You're here at the right time."

It's all here, Han Qiao's firepower is fully launched, controlling the entire audience.

Without saying a word, he hugged Gao Yuanyuan.

Great summer.

Three people formed a wall on the street.

At this time, Qin Lan and Gao Yuanyuan were very strangely calm, without struggling, and even looked away from each other and flew around.

The three of them walked towards the sales office.

Han Qiao had already made an appointment.

The sales department waited for him in the afternoon when the store was empty.

When Han Qiao arrived at the door, he let go of the two of them, holding each other with few staff members in the sales office, only two of them.

"Mr. Han."

The beautiful woman with exquisite makeup in black professional dress saw Han Qiao and was excited. She walked forward in small steps, bowed and said politely: "Welcome to visit Ziyu Villa."

"Hello." Han Qiao smiled and said, "I know everything else, just look at the house."

"Okay." The beauty is not surprised. Rich people buy houses and don't look at the location at all, but they just look at them.

"Mr. Han, please do you here?"

Qin Lan and Gao Yuanyuan were cold-faced, and Han Qiao forced the two to come over. Now there were outsiders, which made people embarrassed and embarrassed.

Arrive at the conference room.

The beauty introduces the project: "Mr. Han..."

Looking at the two beauties, she certainly knew Han Qiao's identity.

that is.

Han Qiao has too many scandals, and she doesn't know the identities of these two.

Han Qiao thought for a while: "Ms. Qin, Ms. Gao."

Qin Lan, Gao Yuanyuan...

The beauty was shocked. This gossip, but she was a professional property consultant, and she gathered her mood and smiled sweetly: "Ms. Qin, Ms. Gao, hello."

"I am Sun Feifei, sales manager of Ziyu Villa. This is my business card."

Qin Lan turned his head away.

"Hello." Gao Yuanyuan has a good personality and will not embarrass people. She took over the business card: "Thank you for your hard work."

"This is my duty." Sun Feifei said, clicking on the video: "Mr. Han, two ladies, Ziyu Villa is surrounded by water on all sides, with different design styles, and both have private yards."

"The entire project covers a total area of ​​1,000 mu, with a greening area of ​​800 mu. It is surrounded by ecological lakes in the villa, and nearly 100 species of exotic birds and rare birds live in it."

"At present, our business model has single-family houses, townhouses, and double-spoke villas."

"Let's have a single house." Han Qiao said.

"We currently have 6 single-family houses, and the locations are very good."

"There are four directions in the southeast, southwest and northwest." Sun Feifei smiled and said, "I don't know what direction Mr. Han likes?"

“Facing south.”

Han Qiao didn't say anything, Qin Lan snorted coldly: "Facing south, the sun is good, it is good for the baby's growth."

Han Qiao didn't speak.

Sun Feifei was frightened. She had been selling the house for so many years and brought two girls over. That was the first time that the old girl had been in a sedan chair.

"Ms. Qin, face south..."

"Facing north." Gao Yuanyuan interrupted and said gently: "Facing north is quiet, facing south is too noisy."

"Ms. Gao, we are facing north..."

Sun Feifei's vest was sweating, and she was in a dilemma and said with difficulty: "Face south..."

"Facing north." Gao Yuanyuan frowned and emphasized: "Facing north."

Sun Feifei looked at Qin Lan with her eyes and said with difficulty: "Fight north..."

"Facing south." Qin Lan said politely: "Miss Sun, our family listens to me, facing south..."

"Our family listens to me." Gao Yuanyuan said with a smile.

Sun Feifei's legs are together

Destroy the earth.

Han Qiao spoke: "What else is there besides this?"

"And..." Sun Feifei was relieved after being pardoned, and immediately said: "At present, we have Linhu and..."

Damn it.

Sun Feifei wants to die.

"Linhu." Qin Lan said politely: "Linhu has a good view and good air."

He looked at Sun Feifei with his eyes and said with a smile: "Miss Sun, facing south, facing the lake, pay the money now."

"Okay..." Sun Feifei relaxed. This order is difficult and she gained a lot.

"Don't be in the lake." Gao Yuanyuan hugged Han Qiao's arm and said with a smile: "There are many mosquitoes in the summer of the lake, which is very noisy."

"My husband and I both sleep very lightly." Gao Yuanyuan said politely: "Ms. Sun, please choose a set facing north and not facing the lake..."

Thinking about it.

"The area is smaller, and our family is only two people. I don't like to clean up, it's too big and empty."

"Ms. Gao..." Sun Feifei was embarrassed again.

One should face south and face the lake.

One should face north, not facing the lake.

The atmosphere in the conference room is low.

Sun Feifei couldn't breathe, and Qin Lan and Gao Yuanyuan refused to give in to each other.

They can buy it themselves.

But.

This is not a house business.

"We need both sets." Han Qiao shrugged: "Miss Sun, we need both sets, so we will sign the contract now."

"Mr. Han, one set is 35 million, the other set is 34 million..."

Sun Feifei's voice was unstable.

Two sets!

The commissions are hundreds of thousands, and they are relaxed. When they look at Han Qiao, they are simply the God of Wealth.

"You are generous." Qin Lan stared at Han Qiao, feeling sulky.

"Miss Sun." Gao Yuanyuan felt very uncomfortable. She just wanted Han Qiao to make a choice, but unexpectedly, Han Qiao escaped.

"I don't want that."

"I don't want it either." Qin Lan said coldly: "Who cares about it?"

Depend on.

Sun Feifei's eyes widened, her legs twitched under her narrow skirt, and her life was ups and downs.

Don't play with me! Two young grandmas.

Han Qiao's words were like Wen Tianyin: "Ms. Sun, go and prepare the loan contract."

70 million.

Han Qiao thought about it and found it was a bit expensive. Now it was 2004, and many companies had less profits per year.

but.

He has accumulated almost so much family business over the years.

Ziyu Villa is one of the best luxury houses in Yanjing, and this price is acceptable.

Money is a bastard.

At this time, Qin Lan felt sorry for Han Qiao. After thinking about it, he said, "Miss Sun, let's discuss it."

"good."

Sun Feifei couldn't bear it anymore. This was much more exciting than a roller coaster. Her legs were weak. She smiled awkwardly and shouted: "Xiao Wang."

Xiao Wang was shocked and came to his senses, and helped Sun Feifei.

When Qin Lan saw outsiders go out, she said reluctantly: "Hanqiao is too expensive, 35 million, she really dares to think about it. The courtyard house only costs 18 million..."

"How many houses can I buy for 35 million?"

"Xiaoqiao." Gao Yuanyuan looked at Han Qiao with her eyes and said, "This house is too expensive, there is no need."

Both of them have high incomes.

but.

Even if their income is tens of millions, it is still very terrifying.

"Xiao Lan, Sister Yuanyuan..." Han Qiao smiled and said, "The house is very expensive, but as long as you live in it, it's fine."

"Listen to me."

"Xiao Lan, you don't have a house in your name."

Qin Lan originally had a two-bedroom apartment and a courtyard house, but the two-bedroom apartment was given to his parents and the courtyard house was given to Han Qiao.

"I don't want it..." Qin Lan shook his head decisively: "Please take your house, I will be your vassal in this life, so don't even think about using these to tie me up."

"I'm with you, not because of money." Qin Lan said seriously: "I won't be with you for money, either."

"Han Qiao, if one day, I will be completely disappointed with you." Qin Lan looked at Han Qiao with his eyes and said strongly: "Don't stop me from leaving you."

"I don't want it, either."

Gao Yuanyuan looked admiring, Qin Lan was very sober. She liked Han Qiao, but she did not lose herself.

She looked at Han Qiao and felt uncomfortable, and her tone was rarely complaining: "Han Qiao, why do you have this kind of thought?"

"We are fair in our relationship. You don't owe me, and I don't owe you. There is no need to compensate for these."

Han Qiao looked at Qin Lan and then at Gao Yuanyuan.

Yay.

Without saying a word, he slapped his hand and slapped his slap. The two of them blushed and covered their little butts. Xiaolan was embarrassed and angry: "Han Qiao."

"Smack it."

"I……"

"Baoba..."

“Um…”

"Baoba..."

Xiaolan was about to burst into tears. He bit his lips and didn't say he wouldn't buy it. He knew how to beat it, but he was not afraid of it. He said with grievance: "Buy, buy... OK."

"Where are you?" Han Qiao looked at Xiao Yuanyuan.

Xiao Yuanyuan's face turned red and gritted her teeth, and was about to speak. When she saw Han Qiao slapped her slap, she was silent.

"Baoba..."

He raised his head, covered his little butt, and a sound jumped in his throat: "Buy."

After all, there are people here, and this intimate behavior is too shameful. Even more excessive, Xiaolan and Xiao Yuanyuan looked at each other and plunged into the sofa with shame.

Complete the procedures.

Two single-family villas, looking at each other from front to back, are separated by a small flower path.

Qin Lan and Gao Yuanyuan were forced to accept it, but neither of them was greedy for small gains.

Striving for reason.

The prices of the two houses must be the same. In the end, the house was sold for 34 million yuan.

Qin Lan gritted his teeth and emptied all his savings, about 9 million.

Gao Yuanyuan needs more money, and she has 1,000 in savings, but she invested in stocks for 8 million.

I have to sign the "IOU".

Han Qiao was afraid that her money would be wasted, so she accepted it.

Received the key.

Qin Lan clamored to go to see the house. For a house worth more than 30 million yuan, I am afraid that it is not the floor tiles, it is all money.

There are sightseeing cars in the park.

The wind in summer is very light, the environment of Ziyu Villa is very good, with green trees and birds singing and flowers blooming. The occupancy rate is very low now, and the entire community is like a forest.

The sun shines from the treetops.

Han Qiao leaned back and forth, what else can you ask for in this life?

…………

Buying a house is just a small episode of life.

How free and easy it is to swipe the card, how regretful it is to be afterwards. Han Qiao checked his bank card and counted zeros.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...

Being poor, being poor, being completely poor.

There are only 20 million left in the card.

There is no sense of security at all.

His income is high now, but that is all the company's money. Strictly speaking, he has no relationship with half a cent.

Xiao Hanzi served the Empress of the East Palace and the Empress of the West Palace, and then secretly looked for an opportunity to sneak out and transfer the villa in Haidian to the Empress of the North Palace.

The routine is to serve hard.

Women are most afraid of a bowl of water. The Queen Mother of the East Palace and the Queen Mother of the West Palace can’t imagine that they can comfort themselves: “At least they are better than the one in the North Palace.”

Psychologically satisfied.

The most taboo thing is to treat a bowl of water unfairly. The Queen of Beigong doesn’t care, but it doesn’t mean she’s not angry. Each person has his own tricks, so no one laughs at anyone.

Queen.

The queen could not provoke her. If she knew that Han Qiao would smash the urn for the other people to deal with her.

certainly.

Han Qiao took the queen to see the stars all night.

August 7th.

Outside Yuyuan Pond.

Han Qiao pulled up and climbed into the car, tightened her clothes, and was so sleepy that she beat her.

Yang Tianzhen was radiant and full of blood. He turned around and was startled and shouted: "Brother Han, is there a female ghost at home?"

"What kind of female ghosts aren't female ghosts?" Han Qiao was weak.

"No female ghost." Yang Tianzhen tentatively said: "Why is the yang energy gone?"

"Let's find out less about society."

"Oh." Yang Tianzhen raised his head, and immediately, he was refreshed and said: "Brother Han, our next itinerary is mainly:"

“On August 25, the General Administration’s meeting.”

"On November 25, the press conference of "Ten-Ambushes"."

"Okay..." Han Qiao raised his spirits. In the second half of the year, his main job was to film "Embroidered Spring Knife".

"How about the embroidered spring knife?"

"At present, the main actors have gathered and arranged to be held in the martial arts school in Daxing for a 30-day closed training."

"Then."

Yang Tianzhen looked at the document: "The logistics team is all in place, the crew is an old team of Pangu Film and Television production."

"The deputy director is Ning Hao."

Ning Hao's "Crazy Stone" started filming in March. He was crazy about filming, and he only made a movie for 3 months.

Finished in early July.

"Embroidered Spring Knife" officially started filming in October and can be edited in 3 months.

Han Qiao didn't expect Ning Hao to be so fast, and he deserved to be a fast gunner. He smiled and said, "Did Ning Hao sign a contract with the company?"

"Yeah." Yang Tianzhen nodded: "The current directors under Pangu Film and Television, except Brother Han, include Ning Hao and Gu Changwei."

"Has the peacock finished the filming?"

"No." Yang Tianzhen looked at the document: "Director Gu is expected to be completed in October."

"Director Gu has a difficult delivery!"

Han Qiao complained in his heart that Gu Changwei had lived a small life with Zhang Jingchu.

A movie was made for 6 months.

Fortunately, the team is the team produced by Dongyang Pangu Film and Television, otherwise, this drama would have gone bankrupt.

The two were talking.

The car arrived at the Lucai private restaurant outside the HD area.

Private room.

Han Qiao met Yu Jia'an in "Embroidered Spring Sword" costume, and Lei Chuxiong, prop artist, and Cheng Xiaodong, martial arts director.

Here.

Lei Chuxiong is a famous prop artist in the industry, and his works include "Green Snake" and "Infernal Affairs 2".

All of them are from Xiangjiang.

While talking eagerly, Lei Chuxiong spoke quickly: "Master Cheng, you and Han Qiao have cooperated for the second time. How are others?"

He was worried that Han Qiao was too difficult to serve.

after all.

There are rumors in the world that Han Qiao is "sad to see the ghost".

"Master Cheng..." Yu Jiaan came to the mainland for the first time. He was very thin. He pushed his black-framed glasses and said, "I heard that Han Qiao is very strong, so I'm afraid it's difficult to serve him."

Cheng Xiaodong thought of Han Qiao and wanted to speak.

"Hahaha..." Han Qiao laughed and bowed and said, "Mr. Lei, Mr. Yu, outsiders say that I, Han Qiao, are "sad to see the ghost."

"actually."

"I have a very low requirement." Han Qiao waved his hand and smiled, "It's almost OK."

"Director Han."

"Director Han."

"Old Han."

All of them stood up. No matter what, Han Qiao was the director and the financial backer. He had to make a living by relying on him and his attitude should be corrected.

Han Qiao smiled and said, "A few of you are old seniors. You are so polite. Please sit down."
