The world of film and television begins with university lecturers

Upon hearing Jiang Nansun's introduction, Zhu Suosuo immediately recognized him, a bright and cheerful smile spreading across her face as she stepped forward to greet him: "So you're Teacher Han. It's an honor to meet you."

After attending your lecture yesterday, Nan Sun specifically sent me the video of your lecture and praised your talent. Meeting you today, I can confirm your exceptional appearance and talent.

"Ms. Zhu, you flatter me." Han Tao stood up, shook hands with her politely, and smiled gently. "I'm just an ordinary university teacher, not as good as you and Nan Sun have described."

"Please don't be so polite, just call me Suosuo!" Zhu Suosuo sat down next to Jiang Nansun, straightened her skirt, and subtly sized up Han Tao.

His palms were warm and dry, his voice was deep and steady, and his appearance was the kind that grows on you, with thick eyebrows and big eyes; he was considered above average.

However, given his tall and upright figure, and considering that Jiang Nansun had mentioned that the other party had acquired a villa on Fuxing Road at a young age on his own, he suddenly seemed even more handsome.

Most importantly, they don't rely on their family background; they establish themselves in Shanghai entirely through their own knowledge and hard work, which is completely different from those spoiled brats who live extravagantly because of their family connections.

Zhu Suosuo, who has lived as an orphan since childhood, has longed for a stable home all these years. Her greatest wish is to live without having to depend on others.

The young, promising, knowledgeable, and financially secure man in front of her was exactly the ideal partner she envisioned, and a strange feeling stirred within her.

Zhu Suosuo suppressed the distracting thoughts in her mind and slowly probed the issue by striking up a conversation, her tone seemingly casual:

"Professor Han, do you usually spend all your time preparing lessons, researching, and writing papers? What are your hobbies in your spare time?"

"Most of the time I'm preparing courses and organizing teaching and research materials. When I'm free, I read books or do some financial management and investment," Han Tao replied casually.

"Don't you ever go out for social events? Someone as outstanding as Teacher Han should have plenty of friends, right?"

Zhu Suosuo pressed on, subtly veering the conversation towards her personal life: "Don't you have someone you like, or someone you're currently dating?"

  

"I don't socialize much..." Han Tao knew exactly what she was thinking, so he answered truthfully, "I'm currently single and don't have a girlfriend!"

Zhu Suosuo understood what was going on and secretly felt a little pleased, but she maintained her composure and did not reveal her thoughts.

At this moment, Jiang Nansun's mother, Dai Yin, came out of the kitchen. Seeing Zhu Suosuo arrive, she smiled brightly: "Suosuo's here! Why haven't you come over to play for several days!"

"Auntie, I have some personal matters to take care of these past few days, otherwise I would come every day..."

Zhu Suosuo immediately stood up and hugged Daiyin, praising her sweetly, "You've become even more beautiful in just a few days!"

"This girl has a sweet tongue. Please have a seat. I'll get everyone a fresh pot of tea."

Dain patted her on the back before picking up the teapot from the coffee table to change the tea leaves.

"Auntie," Zhu Suosuo hurriedly took the teapot, her eyes full of smiles, and said, "Don't bother, I know the kitchen well, I'll get it ready right away."

The Jiang family's kitchen was bright and clean, with neatly arranged cabinets. Zhu Suosuo washed the teaware and brewed new tea and fruit tea while secretly making plans.

In the future, I can use the excuse of going shopping, having afternoon tea, or chatting with Nan Sun to come here more often.

This way, I can create an opportunity to meet Han Tao, and then find a suitable time to ask Nan Sun to act as a go-between, which would be even more secure.

She longed for a stable home, and Han Tao was undoubtedly an extremely rare choice. The idea of ​​taking the initiative had taken root in her heart.

Seeing that Zhu Suosuo hadn't brought the new tea yet, Jiang Nansun apologized to Han Tao and got up to go to the kitchen to check on the situation.

The kitchen door was ajar, and the soft sound of running water could be heard from inside. She gently pushed the door open and entered, immediately seeing her best friend holding a teapot, lost in thought, with a look of dazedness in her eyes that she herself did not realize.

"SuoSuo, why are you standing here in a daze? Isn't the tea ready yet?"

Jiang Nansun stepped forward, picked up a fruit plate from the side, and spoke in a relaxed and casual tone unique to close friends.

"I just brewed the tea and was thinking of taking it out."

Zhu Suosuo was pulled back to her senses, smoothed the stray hairs at her temples, and said half-jokingly:

"Nan Sun, your neighbor, Teacher Han, is really quite different from the boys I've met before."

At such a young age, he was able to settle down in Shanghai and even acquire such a nice house on Fuxing Road.

Most importantly, he didn't rely on his family; he made it all through his own hard work, which is truly remarkable.

At this point, she lowered her voice slightly, a hint of expectation in her eyes, "You know best, all these years I've been hoping for a stable and reliable support, so I don't have to live at the mercy of others."

But all I've encountered are men who can't even afford to rent a one-bedroom apartment, or they're just after me.

A reliable and capable man like Han Tao is truly rare. Now that I've met one, you have to help me!

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nansun paused, looked up at her friend, and instantly understood the deeper meaning behind her words.

A mixture of surprise and indescribable feeling flashed through her mind: "SuoSuo, you mean... you've developed feelings for Teacher Han?"

Caught off guard by her best friend, Zhu Suosuo stopped trying to hide it. A faint blush rose to her cheeks as she said, half-seriously and half-jokingly:

"I know it's a bit abrupt to say this on our first meeting, but it's rare to meet someone I like, and I don't want to miss out on it easily."

You two go to the same school and see each other all the time, and you're even neighbors. Could you occasionally try to connect, like arranging a small get-together, so I can get to know him better?

Jiang Nansun was caught in a dilemma. On one hand, there was her best friend of many years who knew her longing for a stable home and sympathized with her wandering and helpless state of mind, understanding that this feeling of attraction was hard-won for Suo Suo.

On the other hand, Han Tao was just a new neighbor who had just moved in, and the two had only met twice. It would be too abrupt to try to set them up, and it might make things awkward for both of them.

So she hesitated for a moment, her tone deliberate: "Suo Suo, I understand your desire to find a reliable partner, and I know what kind of life you've lived all these years."

However, we are not particularly familiar with Teacher Han, so it would be inappropriate for us to suddenly act as matchmakers.

I think you should try to bump into him whenever you see me, and let things develop naturally over time.

"Well... alright!" Although Zhu Suosuo felt a little disappointed, she understood that Jiang Nansun's concerns were not unreasonable, so she could only nod in agreement and suppress her eagerness.

The two whispered a few more words, then carried the teapot and fruit out of the kitchen and back into the living room.

At this moment, Jiang Pengfei and Grandma Jiang had returned to the living room.

He even showed Han Tao all the stocks he held, and once again, unwilling to give up, whispered to him how to get out of his predicament.
