The world of film and television begins with university lecturers

The next morning, as sunlight streamed through the French windows on the second floor of the villa into several rooms, Han Tao had already returned from his run.

It's fair to say that last night was the most restful night's sleep he'd had in a while.

Compared to the small studio apartments on campus, the current living comfort level has improved by more than one level.

After a quick shower, he changed into casual clothes and took out four sets of high-end clothing that the system had rewarded him with in his space, putting them into his walk-in closet before preparing to go to school to move his things.

However, just as he got downstairs, the doorbell rang suddenly. Han Tao guessed that it was probably Jiang Pengfei from next door, and sure enough, he found him waiting outside when he opened the door.

Today, Jiang Pengfei has shed the disheveled state he was in after last night's drunkenness. He is dressed in a neat casual suit, carrying an exquisite lunchbox and a small jar of his treasured tea, and his face is full of enthusiastic smiles.

"Good morning, Brother Han!"

He lifted the things in his hand and said in a very familiar tone, "I know you're tidying up your new house today, so you must have prepared everything."

I got up early this morning and went to a nearby time-honored shop to buy breakfast. I also wanted to see if there was anything I could help you with.

Han Tao glanced at the breakfast the other party had brought and looked embarrassed: "Mr. Jiang, this is too kind of you!"

"I should be the one paying a visit; how could I trouble you to make this special trip?"

"Brother Han, please don't refuse," Jiang Pengfei said with a smile. "Isn't it proper for neighbors to help each other? Back in the day, we..."

Han Tao didn't respond, but listened to him talk about how his old neighbors used to get along, while stepping aside to invite him into the house.

Jiang Pengfei only ended his pointless chatter after the two of them sat down in the living room.

He placed the tea leaves and food box on the coffee table, and got straight to the point, bringing up the topic they had discussed the previous night, his eyes full of anticipation:

"Brother Han, don't laugh at me, but I couldn't sleep a wink last night after learning that you had accumulated such a fortune through stock trading and funds."

I've been investing in stocks for years, but I've never been very lucky; I always lose more than I gain.

Yesterday, I heard from some friends that I had gotten inside information, so I went out to have drinks and talk to them about it.

I was originally planning to increase my position, but now that I've met you, a true expert, I think I must learn from you before taking any action.

Han Tao opened the food box, took out the breakfast, and said casually, "Mr. Jiang, I think it would be better to be more cautious."

Nine times out of ten, so-called insider information in the stock market is a trap, and truly reliable investment never relies on rumors.

Instead, one must understand a complete logical framework and long-term value holding. If one chooses short-term speculation and following trends, most people will end up losing everything.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Pengfei subconsciously frowned, clearly disagreeing with the statement. However, due to his need for a favor, he dared not contradict the other party directly and could only nod and agree with a forced smile.

"I see. It seems I wasn't following the right path before. I hope Brother Han can give me more guidance in the future." As he spoke, he leaned forward slightly.

"By the way, Nan Sun doesn't have any classes this morning. I'll have her come over to visit you later, firstly to thank Teacher Han for her careful guidance at school, and secondly to formally introduce her to her new neighbor next door."

Han Tao shook his head slightly upon hearing this: "I am just doing my job in class. Mr. Jiang, please don't make Nan Sun come all the way here."

Of course, it's fine for neighbors to get to know each other, but forcing it is not good. It might even cause resentment and lead to constant resistance.

"Thank you for your understanding, Brother Han. Nan Sun is just shy and embarrassed!"

  

After giving a wry smile, Jiang Pengfei changed the subject and began to subtly inquire about Han Tao's specific situation.

She also had her own agenda. On one hand, she wanted to use Han Tao's investment experience to turn her fortunes around in the stock market, and on the other hand, she hoped to use the relationship between neighbors and teachers to get Jiang Nansun to interact with him more.

In Jiang Pengfei's eyes, Han Tao, who was able to acquire an old villa worth hundreds of millions at such a young age, was definitely a high-quality son-in-law candidate and the best potential partner for his daughter.

Han Tao saw through the other person's ulterior motives at a glance, but he didn't expose them and calmly answered their questions.

He briefly described his basic situation in a tone that was neither arrogant nor humble, neither excessively boastful nor deliberately low-key or weak.

The two chatted for nearly an hour. Jiang Pengfei tried several times to steer the conversation back to stock investment, constantly asking Han Tao about the sectors and stocks he currently held, but Han Tao skillfully and subtly changed the subject each time.

Han Tao knew very well that with Jiang Pengfei's eagerness for quick success and instant benefits, even if he offered a sound investment plan, the other party would find it difficult to settle down and implement it in the long term.

If he were to buy Storm Technology, seeing such a strong upward trend, he would definitely be unwilling to sell, and in the end, if he were to be liquidated, it would only bring unnecessary trouble upon himself.

Seeing that it was almost time, Han Tao got up and tidied up the things on the table: "Mr. Jiang, let's stop here for now. I'll pay you a visit after I finish moving, and we can talk in more detail then."

Jiang Pengfei was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly agreed, repeatedly urging him to come before reluctantly bidding farewell and leaving.

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

After Han Tao saw him to the door, he took out his car keys and got into the volcanic gray Audi Q7.

Soon the car smoothly drove out of the alley and headed towards Shanghai University.

The journey from Fuxing Road to the school wasn't far, and since he still had some time in the morning, he planned to go back to the school to move all his personal belongings, lesson preparation materials, and books from the faculty and staff single apartment, bidding farewell to that cramped dormitory for good.

All vehicles belonging to faculty and staff of Shanghai University are required to be registered with the security department. In the past, Han Tao usually traveled to and from the university by electric bike, taxi, subway, or bus.

Although the security guards on duty at the gate recognized him, they still stopped his unassuming SUV as it slowly approached the school gate.

A middle-aged security guard approached the car window and said politely, "Hello sir, could you please show me your identification?"

This vehicle's license plate was not previously registered; it needs to be registered before it can enter.

"Master Wang, it's your shift today!" Han Tao rolled down the car window, greeted him with a smile, and then handed over his work ID and a pack of cigarettes.

"Oh, it's Teacher Han! You're still so kind!" The security guard took the ID and cigarettes, his face beaming with warmth.

"You used to ride an electric bike, I didn't expect you to have a new one, I almost didn't recognize you."

As he spoke, he quickly entered the license plate information into the campus management system, but his gaze couldn't help but linger a few more times on what he saw as an "SUV".

In the past two days, due to the continued spread of that video, many people in the college have heard of Han Tao's name, and some insiders have even revealed his basic resume.

Since staying on to teach at the university, he has always kept a low profile, even adopting a passive attitude.

After the reform documents were issued this year, he even faced the arrangement of being transferred to a logistics position and away from the podium.

No one expected that his situation would change so drastically in just two days.

Not only did her teaching style change drastically from before, but she also became a well-known teacher in the school.

What's most heartbreaking is that he has even changed his daily mode of transportation from an ordinary electric scooter to a car of the same brand as many school leaders' vehicles.
