Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years

Li Haoyu watched Qiu Yingying rush out the door. .•°¤*(¯`★´¯)*¤° 6❾ⓈнⓊⓧ.Čо𝐌 °¤*(¯´★`¯)*¤°•.

He burst out laughing.

This portrayal of Qiu Yingying is truly excellent.

What does it mean to deceive yourself?

To be honest, Bai Zha Nan's scumbag nature is practically written all over his face.

Li Haoyu just explained the situation rationally and presented the truth to Qiu Yingying.

But Qiu Yingying still refused to believe it.

Qiu Yingying even excitedly imagined, thanks to her excellent self-construction ability, the scene of Manager Bai secretly liking her, getting close to her, and falling deeply in love with her.

Indeed, self-deception is the most fatal flaw.

However, Li Haoyu still decided to make a move.

He couldn't just stand by and watch Qiu Yingying jump into the fire.

Rather than being tricked by that scumbag, it's better to let him do this.

At least his conditions are miles ahead of that scumbag.

Li Haoyu was thinking of going to sleep.

Suddenly, I discovered that Qu Xiaoxiao had sent me a text message.

Brief message: 8 PM tonight at the Sunshine Hotel, I have some business questions to discuss with you. See you there!

Xiao Qu bowed his head.

This was indeed written by Qu Xiaoxiao herself.

You can tell just by looking at their level of education.

"Dunshou" is a term used between superiors and subordinates.

Qu Xiaoxiao truly deserves to be called a "high-achieving student" who studied abroad.

Thankfully, Qu Xiaoxiao didn't write "kowtow," otherwise it would have been considered worshipping ancestors.

Li Haoyu didn't want a good-for-nothing junior like Qu Xiaoxiao.

He laughed for a full minute.

After Li Haoyu finished laughing.

Only then did he begin to consider Qu Xiaoxiao's intentions.

Qu Xiaoxiao actually invited me to dinner, and it turned out she wanted to discuss some business matters.

Mingming had been severely reprimanded by Li Haoyu during their last meeting.

He felt that Qu Xiaoxiao's legs went weak at that moment.

It's only been a short time, and they already dare to contact me.

Could it be that the elevator gave her some inappropriate illusion?

However, Li Haoyu agreed without hesitation.

How could he miss something so interesting?

Let's meet this little devil again.

Li Haoyu lay in bed.

He felt that what Qu Xiaoxiao said might not necessarily be a joke.

She might genuinely want to ask me for advice on business matters.

It must be about the air conditioner dealership issue.

This is Qu Xiaoxiao's first step in fighting for the family fortune.

She had to be absolutely certain.

Qu Xiaoxiao's plea for this was indeed not wrong.

After all, Li Haoyu is now a genuine business tycoon.

This is indeed a perfect match for my major.

…………

The next day, Li Haoyu arrived at the Sunshine Hotel on time as agreed.

To Li Haoyu's surprise...

This little girl is actually quite dedicated.

Before Li Haoyu went to the appointment, Qu Xiaoxiao inquired about his eating habits, whether he had any dietary restrictions, and even whether he was comfortable drinking alcohol and what kind of alcohol he wanted.

Two hours before the dinner, Qu Xiaoxiao double-checked whether Li Haoyu was available to attend and sent him a heartfelt text message.

It would be a bit unreasonable for Li Haoyu not to take a look.

Li Haoyu couldn't help but sigh.

Qu Xiaoxiao comes from a business family, so she's quite adept at having fun.

Li Haoyu had just entered the private room.

Qu Xiaoxiao immediately got up to greet her.

"I'm so grateful for your support this time. I'll have a drink to express my thanks. The food is ready, why don't we eat first and then talk?"

Qu Xiaoxiao is now groveling.

Her face was also full of smiles.

The saying goes, "You can't hit someone who's smiling."

Besides, although Qu Xiaoxiao can be a bit mean at times, she's actually quite good-looking.

However, he also keenly grasped the key point: let's talk after we finish eating.

This shows that Qu Xiaoxiao is still plotting against herself.

Li Haoyu didn't care what kind of bad ideas Qu Xiaoxiao was up to.

Anyway, even if I don't ask, she'll tell me on her own.

Qu Xiaoxiao is the kind of person who won't do anything without a reason; she must have something to ask of me.

Li Haoyu saw the whole crab feast and yellow wine prepared by Qu Xiaoxiao.

To be honest, he was actually a little hungry.

Qu Xiaoxiao thoughtfully added, "I've already warmed the Shaoxing wine beforehand. Let's eat the crabs first. These are genuine Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs."

"This is the season when they are at their fattest and most delicious. I got such good quality food by asking a friend who lives there, and the chef is a state banquet chef."

"This meal has emptied my wallet. If you don't help me, I'll really be eating dirt."

Qu Xiaoxiao adopted a very humble attitude this time.

Now Li Haoyu knew that Qu Xiaoxiao wanted something from him.

He had to admit that Qu Xiaoxiao had indeed done a good job of being polite, and Li Haoyu felt that things were suddenly not so simple.

Qu Xiaoxiao probably doesn't have much money on hand right now.

Because Qu Xiaoxiao wanted to prove that she was different from Qu Lianjie, that spendthrift son. She refused the luxury car and mansion her father wanted to buy for her, and even patted her chest and said she wouldn't ask her family for money.

These tactics of playing the victim are all aimed at proving their determination to endure hardship. As a result, the only thing Qu Xiaoxiao brought from home was her beat-up little yellow car used for grocery shopping.

Even the Joyful Ode residential complex where Qu Xiaoxiao now lives was bought with money borrowed from her childhood friend Yao Bin.

So what she just said is somewhat credible.

If it really was the air conditioner distributorship that Li Haoyu originally planned, Qu Xiaoxiao wouldn't be willing to invest so heavily. ♨♖ ➅❾ⓢ𝔥ù𝓍.Ćⓞ𝕄 😲😳

In the original storyline, Qu Xiaoxiao sought help from Andy regarding the agency rights.

She only spent a fruit basket and shamelessly acted cute, and that was it.

Qu Xiaoxiao definitely wants more from me than I expected.

Li Haoyu said directly, "Now that I'm here, you don't need to worry about me running away. Just tell me what you need from me."

"Otherwise, even if this crab is the fattest and most delicious, I'd have a hard time eating it. If you're going to keep beating around the bush with me, don't blame me for just leaving. You know my style; I'm not kidding you."

Qu Xiaoxiao glanced at Li Haoyu.

She thought to herself that this man was really difficult to deal with and wouldn't listen to reason.

She said with a serious expression, "I do have a favor to ask of you today. I heard that Snail Games is recruiting to expand, and not only that, you even have plans to buy the entire building."

Li Haoyu nodded. "Your inside information is quite accurate. Snail Games does indeed have this plan. I can tell you now that it's all true."

Qu Xiaoxiao nodded excitedly.

"Then I'd like to try to get my father the renovation rights for the entire building. Our Qu family is a very powerful force in Shanghai's real estate industry."

"There are quite a few successful examples of this type of project. I hope you can consider it carefully."

Qu Xiaoxiao then kept talking non-stop, boasting from various angles about how powerful and reliable her company was.

Anyway, I gave a whole bunch of reasons.

Li Haoyu could tell that Qu Xiaoxiao had made a lot of preparations in advance to convince herself.

Li Haoyu listened silently the whole time without interrupting Qu Xiaoxiao.

Qu Xiaoxiao continued talking until her mouth was dry.

She couldn't help but stop and take a sip of chrysanthemum tea to soothe her throat.

Li Haoyu then spoke calmly.

"What you said is not wrong, but the problem is that there are tons of companies like this in Shanghai. You don't have any core competitiveness."

"However, if you agree to one condition, I can approve this. As long as your company's construction quality is up to standard, the entire building project can be awarded to you."

"That is, I need you to do me a small favor."

Li Haoyu's answer surprised Qu Xiaoxiao.

Qu Xiaoxiao didn't expect things to be resolved so easily?

It felt like a dream to her.

This project is a landmark financial building in Shanghai.

No, it won't be long... it might be renamed Snail Building.

Among the projects the Qu family has undertaken over the years, the Snail Building would definitely rank in the top three.

Sure enough, as long as I unleash my charm even slightly, men will fall head over heels for me. Li Haoyu pretended so well before, but in the end, he's just like those stinky men.

Of course, Qu Xiaoxiao only dared to mutter these thoughts to herself.

She dared not offend her sugar daddy.

Qu Xiaoxiao laughed and said, "Don't even mention a condition. I'd go through fire and water for you."

"I used to think that big shots could decide the fate of a listed company with a casual remark, but that was just a joke made up by people on the internet."

"Now I realize that the true charisma of a big shot is even greater than that of a master. You are a living example; I've really learned something today."

Li Haoyu couldn't help but laugh.

Qu Xiaoxiao's flattery was quite blatant.

He looked at Qu Xiaoxiao, whose eyebrows were practically flying to the sky.

How could Li Haoyu not understand Qu Xiaoxiao's little secret thoughts?

However, Qu Xiaoxiao was unaware of this.

She may seem to have gained a great advantage today, but in reality, she has planted a huge time bomb for herself and the Qu family.

Li Haoyu had already investigated the Qu family before.

In fact, the Qu family's company has always been dancing on a tightrope, and its financial chain is actually quite fragile.

It's not just the Qu family that does this; most real estate companies in Shanghai operate in this way.

This is all due to the high turnover of capital and inventory in the real estate industry.

On the surface, these actions appear legal, adequate, and healthy. There's nothing inherently wrong with any of the individual actions.

But as the size increases, the funds accumulate.

The landmines planted will only grow bigger and bigger.

If any link in the chain goes wrong, the financial problems will cause a chain reaction that will surface.

If problems arise, even a real estate giant with net assets in the hundreds of billions can collapse in an instant. It goes without saying that a small company like the Qu family's is even less vulnerable.

Li Haoyu didn't even need to do anything.

If the Qu family runs into financial trouble, the building project will most likely not be completed as scheduled. Then, the fate of Qu Xiaoxiao, and indeed the entire Qu family, will be in his hands.

Li Haoyu smiled and waved his hand as he spoke.

"Don't try to fool me with empty promises. I started from scratch too. You can't fool me with your repetitive talk."

Qu Xiaoxiao heard Li Haoyu's reply.

She didn't seem to care; instead, she laughed so hard her teeth were showing.

Li Haoyu does have some merits.

Although he wasn't very nice to her before, she's really willing to spend money!

Qu Xiaoxiao said ingratiatingly, "Boss, just say the word if you need anything."

Li Haoyu then told Qu Xiaoxiao about his bet with Qiu Yingying.

Qu Xiaoxiao said in surprise, "Is it really such a small matter? You went to so much trouble just to get rid of a greedy, lustful, despicable, and shameless scumbag?"

Li Haoyu nodded. "That's right, it's that simple."

Qu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but say.

"Boss, do you have your eye on that little brat Qiu Yingying?"

Li Haoyu said, "These are not your concerns. You just need to answer me: can you do what I ask?"

Qu Xiaoxiao nodded without hesitation.

"I guarantee I'll complete the task. This is a piece of cake; there won't be a single problem."

She spoke with such certainty and confidence.

However, Li Haoyu did not question her; Qu Xiaoxiao was an absolute expert in manipulating people's minds.

Li Haoyu glanced at Qu Xiaoxiao and suddenly said something meaningful.

Is it worth it for you to do this?

Although the project has been awarded to your Qu family, you personally won't benefit much. However, if any problems arise with the project in the future, I won't hold the Qu family accountable; I'll hold you responsible.

"You still have a chance to back out now. If you really sign the contract, you'll be stuck with this problem."

Qu Xiaoxiao remained silent for a while.

"I just want to prove myself. I'm no worse than anyone else, let alone that good-for-nothing Qu Lianjie."

Qu Xiaoxiao's answer was pretty much what he had expected.

For a moment, Li Haoyu didn't know how to evaluate Qu Xiaoxiao.

He even began to admire her a little.

Compared to a naive and innocent girl like Qiu Yingying, Qu Xiaoxiao still possesses a ruthless streak and strong execution ability.

In fact, everyone has different main tasks at each stage of life.

Each of the five women in Ode to Joy has their own main storyline.

Fan Shengmei's main mission is to find a rich man to settle down in Shanghai, Qiu Yingying's mission is to build her own career, Andy's mission is to find her long-lost younger brother, and Guan Juer's mission is to pursue her true love.

Qu Xiaoxiao returned to China with the sole purpose of fighting for the family fortune.

Let's give an objective evaluation.

Qu Xiaoxiao's task is the most difficult.

The others could at least achieve their goals step by step through hard work and scheming, and even if things didn't go well, they all had a way out.

Andy's success is due to his own outstanding abilities.

Xiao Guan always had a way out; her wealthy family was her strongest support. Fan Shengmei and Qiu Yingying both solved their problems by getting married.

There is no turning back when fighting for inheritance.

However, in Li Haoyu's view...

Qu Xiaoxiao's methods for fighting for the family fortune are rather low.

Qu Xiaoxiao's greatest asset is her parents.

However, after returning to China, Qu Xiaoxiao devoted herself entirely to her work. Instead, she focused her energy on finding fault with Qu Lianjie and making things difficult for his father.

This is putting the cart before the horse.

Qu Xiaoxiao also has to break down her father's prejudice against girls. This deeply ingrained mindset cannot be resolved simply by Qu Lianjie's incompetence.

Qu Xiaoxiao's attempt to prove herself a more qualified heir than Qu Lianjie in order to obtain the family fortune is not a flawed idea.

But there's one condition: her father has to see you as the heir, otherwise it's all for nothing.

Just like an emperor wouldn't let a woman inherit the throne.

Even if this person is better than all his sons.

Even if Qu Lianjie dies, her grandmother might not even remember that she has a granddaughter who can inherit the family fortune. Instead, there is a high probability that she will ask her father to have another son.

She doesn't even understand this as well as her mother.
