The world of film and television begins with university lecturers

Around 10 a.m., Han Tao's car slowly turned into the alleyway at No. 865, Fuxing Road, and finally stopped in front of the old villa at No. 31. After opening the car door, he went straight to the trunk.

Jiang Lai happened to be checking this place and immediately recognized the somewhat familiar volcanic gray Audi Q7.

She was overjoyed and immediately pulled the car over to the side of the road, then quickly walked into the alley.

"Han Tao!" A clear female voice suddenly rang out, followed by the sound of footsteps running towards them.

"What are you doing here?" Han Tao, who was taking luggage from the trunk, paused, turned around, and asked with a helpless tone.

"Didn't I explain it very clearly yesterday? How did we still end up here?"

Jiang Lai walked up to him, flashing a bright smile: "I told you yesterday I'd come help you move. So, I've come today specifically to keep my promise."

As she spoke, she added with a hint of grievance, "Also, did you block my number?"

I tried calling all morning but couldn't get through, so I had to find my way here myself, which took me over an hour.

Han Tao rubbed his temples, looking quite troubled: "Miss Jiang, I made myself very clear yesterday."

"Our past is over. Continuing to drag this out won't be good for anyone."

"I'm not here to bother you," Jiang Lai said, seemingly oblivious to the coldness in his words. She walked over to him and took a not-too-heavy cardboard box from him.

"I was wrong yesterday. I said the wrong thing and caused you trouble... I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to."

At this point, she looked up at him, her gaze clear and earnest: "I came here this time to apologize. You can't just not give me a chance to make amends, can you?"

After saying that, without waiting for a response, he picked up the cardboard box, turned around and walked towards the door of the mansion. His posture clearly showed that he had no intention of leaving.

  

Han Tao looked helplessly at her back, which showed no signs of shyness, but ultimately said nothing more, and silently took out the remaining boxes from the trunk.

Jiang Lai had already reached the door and was turning back to smile at him: "What's the door lock code? Or can you come and open it?"

Han Tao remained silent for a moment, then stepped forward, entered the password, and opened the heavy wooden door.

Jiang Lai went in with a smile, placed the cardboard box in the corner, and then naturally took the box from his hand.

"You don't have that much stuff, it should only take two or three hours to sort it out."

Han Tao watched her practiced movements and finally spoke, his voice softening: "Actually, you really don't need to do these things."

"I think it's necessary, that's fine." Jiang Lai turned around, a hint of stubbornness in her eyes.

"In any case, it was because of something I said that Jiang Haokun started targeting you."

But words spoken cannot be taken back, and my guilt from not sleeping much last night cannot change anything.

Let me do some chores for you today, just to make me feel better, okay?

Han Tao remained silent for a moment before giving up and began unpacking the box, taking out the books one by one.

Jiang Lai quickly stepped forward to help him, assisting him in placing the books and some documents on the bookshelf against the wall.

Time passed by as the two were busy, and by the time the last box of odds and ends was tidied up, the sun was high in the sky outside the window.

Jiang Lai dusted off her hands, looked around the now neat and tidy living room, and said with satisfaction and relaxation, "Alright, mission accomplished. I'm leaving now."

"Have some water..." Han Tao handed over a bottle of water, the words "I'll treat you to lunch" swirling around in his mouth for a few moments, but he ultimately didn't say them.

Jiang Lai took the water and drank a couple of sips before speaking again: "Han Tao... could you remove me from your blacklist? I promise I won't bother you again."

Han Tao remained silent for a long time after hearing this. Just when she thought it was another case of "hiding her breath," a deep voice came: "Hmm."

Jiang Lai's lips instantly curved into a smile, and she happily turned to walk out. The slight unhappiness in her heart seemed to have been dispelled by the two hours of busy work and that response just now.

However, just as Han Tao was seeing her off, a black Bentley slowly drove into the alley.

After the car window was rolled down, Jiang Haokun's cold and tense face was revealed.

He discovered early in the morning that his sister had driven out alone. After checking the driving trajectory, he followed her all the way here and sure enough, he ran into Jiang Lai and Han Tao meeting here.

"Jiang Lai, come back with me." Jiang Haokun got out of the car, followed closely by his bodyguard.

When Jiang Lai saw him suddenly appear, she instinctively stepped aside to shield Han Tao, her eyes wary.

"I'm not leaving. I'm just here to help with the move. This is none of your business, mind your own business."

"If you want to help, you should first consider whether the other person needs it."

As Jiang Haokun spoke, his gaze turned to Han Tao, his eyes full of scrutiny. "This Teacher Han's background is not as simple as you think."

Don't be naive. Do you really think everything is a coincidence? Think before you act, or you'll end up being taken advantage of and still be counting the money for others.

Before Han Tao could speak, he looked at him calmly, but his tone was cold:

"President Jiang, do you think repaying kindness with enmity is something to be proud of? After all, I saved your sister last night, but your behavior was really ungentlemanly."

He paused briefly before continuing meaningfully, "I don't like trouble or getting into trouble, but that doesn't mean I'm afraid of trouble!"

I would like to advise President Jiang: stop testing my bottom line and stop using your connections to do dirty tricks behind my back.

Some things are best left unsaid. If things escalate, the Jiang Group will only suffer in the end.

Although his voice was soft, every word struck Jiang Haokun's weak spot.

His investigation last night started smoothly, but it was inexplicably hampered when he got to Han Tao's background at Han University, and his subordinates even received warnings.

Seeing his grim expression and lack of response, Han Tao raised his hand and gestured for him to leave: "I've said what I needed to say. Mr. Jiang, take your people and leave."

Don't disturb my move, and don't disturb the peace and quiet of the neighbors.

If I find that your subordinates continue to harass me without cause, I wouldn't mind asking the media and regulatory authorities to thoroughly "understand" certain practices of the Jiang Group.

Jiang Haokun stared intently at Han Tao, weighing his options several times before finally suppressing his surging anger.

He knew that there was no real grudge between them, so there was no need for a direct confrontation.

In business, harmony brings wealth; moreover, having more friends means having more opportunities, while having more enemies means having more obstacles.

At this point, if relations were to break down, it would benefit no one.

He let out a long sigh of relief, refraining from uttering any more harsh words, and simply turned to Jiang Lai beside him.

"I'm giving you two choices: get in the car now and come home with me, or never think about going out freely again."

Jiang Lai was caught in the middle, torn between two options. On one hand, she didn't want to cause any more trouble for Han Tao because of herself, but on the other hand, she was full of resentment and resistance towards Jiang Haokun's domineering attitude.

In the end, she abandoned the idea of ​​turning on him on the spot. After glancing at Han Tao, she said softly, "I won't give up. I'll come again another day."

After saying that, she got into the car in a huff. At this moment, she was even more convinced that Han Tao didn't care about the Jiang family's background and wealth at all.

When others approached her, they were all cautious and tried to please her in every way, but Han Tao avoided her. Even when faced with the coercion and enticement of his brother Jiang Haokun, he remained neither humble nor arrogant, and even dared to turn around and put pressure on the entire Jiang family.

His coldness and aloofness, however, aroused Jiang Lai's strong desire to conquer.

She was determined to uncover the whole truth and truly enter this man's world.

Seeing his sister's changing expression, Jiang Haokun frowned and warned her coldly:

"Jiang Lai, don't associate with people of unknown origin anymore. His purpose is definitely not simple."

"What do you think his purpose could be?" Jiang Lai glanced at him, a mocking smile playing on her lips.

"They live in old villas worth hundreds of millions and drive cars worth millions, yet they still advise you to donate to build a hundred Hope Primary Schools and do some good deeds. They certainly aren't doing it for the money."

If it were about a person, you would have already investigated. We've all booked rooms together, so he wouldn't need to go to any further trouble.

Besides, compared to those "young talents" who fawn over me all day, desperate to curry favor with the Jiang family, he's far cleaner. Stop judging others based on your own assumptions.”

After saying that, she ignored Jiang Haokun's ugly expression, turned her head to look at the flowing street scene outside the window, and only one thought gradually became clear in her mind.
