Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

After she introduced herself, Han Tao took the initiative to greet Guan Juer's parents without waiting for them to speak: "Uncle, aunt, hello, I am Han Tao, Guan Guan's friend, very happy to meet you."

"Hello!" Guan Juer's mother took a look and had a good first impression of Han Tao.

At least he looks good. He is a handsome and sunny young man. He looks gentle and has clear eyes. He has an aura just standing there.

Especially when he is wearing formal attire, he does not make people feel rigid, but instead has a visual effect of standing out from the crowd. Combined with his good looks, he is a standard "elite".

Overall it looks very clean and smart, but this smart feeling is not offensive. Instead, it looks very capable and noble.

So judging from his appearance and conversation, Guan Juer's mother judged that this was a steady, introverted, and elitist boy.

This made her feel favorable towards him, but also added a bit of worry and entanglement. An excellent boy is indeed good, but she had an indescribable feeling, as if her daughter was just a little white rabbit in front of him.

Guan's father didn't think too much about it. Although the boy in front of him was only 30 years old, he had the temperament of a superior, or an "old cadre".

This made Guan's father, who had been in the physical world for most of his life, feel very favorable towards Han Tao. After the two shook hands, he took the initiative to say, "Xiao Han, can I call you that?"

Han Tao smiled slightly and nodded in response: "Of course, Guan Guan and I are friends. Uncle and aunt can just treat me as their nephew. Just call me whatever you are used to!"

"Well, Xiao Han, thank you so much for troubling you. Not only did you have someone send Guan Guan here specially, but you also made a special trip when you're so busy. I don't think this will interfere with your work, will it?"

"No, uncle, I've already finished my morning work, and I have three hours of free time at noon. It won't affect my work, so don't worry.

Besides, you and Auntie have finally come to the Magic City, so no matter what, I have to pay you a visit and show my hospitality."

Hearing Han Tao's answer, Guan's father smiled and nodded, extending his hand and saying, "I'm glad it didn't delay your work. Please sit down and let's talk slowly."

"Thank you uncle!"

Han Tao walked to the dining table and sat down, Guan Juer sat next to him, and Guan Juer's parents sat opposite them.

Because the atmosphere was not good during the blind date with Zhang Wenhao's family, and they didn't eat much, after the new dishes were served, everyone started eating while chatting.

During this time, seeing her daughter adding more food to Han Tao's plate, Guan Juer's mother sighed and said, "Xiao Han, I could tell from our last phone call that you probably have feelings for our Guan Guan. However, this just shows that you have some concerns, otherwise you wouldn't have waited so long without confessing your feelings.

I don't really approve of your relationship. It's not that you're not good, it's that there's a big gap between you and Guan Guan. Of course, as Guan Guan's mother, I can see that she likes you, too.

So, I won't stop you from developing your relationship, but I want to ask you one thing: if you two really get together, can you take good care of Guan Guan and never abandon her?"

Seeing that Guan's father also put down his chopsticks and looked at him seriously after hearing this question, Han Tao wiped his mouth with a tissue and said seriously:

"Auntie, I know what Guan Guan is thinking. The reason I didn't tell her is because Guan Guan is focused on doing a good job and wants to stay in Huaxin Securities with her own abilities to prove herself. So she has no intention of falling in love.

But I can make it clear that if things turn out well and we end up together, I will treat her well for the rest of her life. I also promise to never leave her, take good care of her, and ensure she has enough food and clothing."

"That's good. We won't interfere in your affairs as young people. I believe you will take good care of Guan Guan."

Father Guan nodded in satisfaction, then looked at his wife and comforted her, "Xiao Han is a senior partner of a well-known law firm, a barrister, and the chief legal officer of Jingyan Group. He must have the responsibility on his shoulders, otherwise he wouldn't be in his current position. Don't worry!"

Seeing that her husband treated Han Tao as his son-in-law and even praised him with words, Guan Juer's mother was furious. It is said that fathers cannot stand their daughters falling in love, but the mother-in-law likes her son-in-law more and more, so why did her own family take the opposite approach?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at him and said, "Do I need you to remind me? Am I not worried about my daughter?"

After that, without waiting for Guan's father to respond, she looked at Han Tao and continued to ask, "Xiao Han, come to think of it, I don't know you very well, and Guan Guan hasn't given us a detailed introduction. Which university did you graduate from?"

Han Tao smiled slightly: "Auntie, I graduated from Handong University."

Guan Juer's mother nodded in satisfaction and said, "Xiao Han, you are a top student from a 985 university. Handong University is a famous school. Our Guan Guan's academic performance has always been mediocre. She admires those with good academic performance and has always wanted to find someone..."

Seeing his wife looking at him, Guan's father understood and took over the conversation: "Guan Guan's greatest admirer is the academic master. Xiao Han is very good. The political science and law department of Handong is amazing.

From what I know, all of you who graduated from Handong University have promising futures. Whether it's reputation or fame, you're all well-known in the political and legal fields. No wonder you've achieved such success in the legal field at such a young age!

Han Tao politely responded, "Uncle, you're too kind. Compared to my fellow apprentices, my achievements are nothing to behold."

"Xiao Han, I'd like to ask you something. Since most graduates from your school choose to pursue careers in government, why did you choose to be a lawyer?

Of course, if it's not convenient to talk about it, forget it, we're just chatting casually." After saying that, Guan Juer's mother looked at him with interest.

Han Tao smiled and said, "It's okay, Auntie. There's nothing inconvenient to say. My dream since I was a child has been to become a lawyer, so I didn't choose to take the civil service exam after graduation."

"Actually, being a lawyer is pretty good too. Guan Guan's father and I have both experienced this. Being a civil servant isn't as easy as it seems. It's a thankless job, a lot of hard work.

But for a girl like Guan Guan in our family, I hope she can go back to her hometown and take the civil service exam, so that she can live a stable life and stay with us.

But your uncle is always causing trouble for me. He insists on sending her to that damn Huaxin Securities. I am against this.

That company works overtime every day, and Guan Guan, a girl, works so hard and is under so much pressure. She even fell asleep in the bathroom a few times. How can I, as her mother, feel at ease?

Seeing his wife pointing the finger at him again when she mentioned their daughter's work, Guan's father couldn't help but say, "How am I causing trouble? Don't you know how much effort I put in to get Guan Guan into Huaxin Securities? This is a Fortune 500 company. Guan Guan can learn a lot.

Besides, my daughter is still young, so it wouldn't hurt for her to bear a little more pressure and endure a little more hardship at this time. We've all been there, and it's normal to take a nap when we're tired. Everyone has busy work days."

Guan Juer's mother retorted: "You can't be so busy that you fall asleep in the bathroom. In my opinion, my daughter should go back and take the civil service exam, which will give her a stable and steady life, and then find someone to marry..."

"Hmm!" Seeing that his wife was becoming less and less concerned, Guan's father coughed and interrupted her.

Han Tao glanced at Guan Juer, not minding it, but smiled and said, "Auntie, from your perspective, Guan Guan's work at Huaxin is indeed too hard and stressful, and it's only natural for you as a mother to feel sorry for her.

But what my uncle said makes sense. Everyone has their own pursuits and ideals, and we cannot impose our will on others.

What's more, Guan Guan has been interning for more than half a year and has put in a lot of effort. If she gives up at this time, all her previous efforts will be wasted.

So I think we should wait until she finishes this internship. If she wants, she can continue to work at Huaxin and display her talents. I will help her in the future and won’t make her so tired.”

Seeing that the topic kept on talking about herself, Guan Juer also expressed her opinion: "Yes, Mom, just let me try again. At least I want to prove that I can stay in Huaxin Securities through my own efforts. I can't rely on you for everything!"

"Okay, okay, Mom won't say any more and won't force you to do anything you don't want to do. Let's eat. Your dad has to meet a client this afternoon!"

Guan Juer's mother nodded, no longer dwelling on the work issue. Instead, she looked at Han Tao and continued, "Xiao Han, Guan Guan still has to go back to work at the company, and you also have work to do. Her father and I won't disturb you. We'll go back after meeting the client. You must take good care of Guan Guan!"

"Auntie, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Guan Guan!"

Han Tao nodded slightly, then looked at Guan Juer's mother and father, and politely said:

"Uncle, you and Auntie have finally come to the Magic City. If you are not in a hurry to go back, you can stay for two more days.

When Guan Guan finishes her work, I'll take you guys out for a couple of days. It's a good opportunity for you to spend some time with Guan Guan, and have Auntie help her clean up the house and make her some delicious food."

"Okay, sorry to bother you guys. Your uncle and I have nothing to do after meeting with the client, so I can take care of Guan Guan for a few more days.

You don’t know, her house doesn’t smell bad in the winter, but at this time of year, if you don’t clean it regularly, the smell will be really bad.”

Han Tao waved his hand and said, "Don't bother me, it's my duty. Guan Guan is just too busy and got off work late, so she didn't have time to clean up properly."

Seeing Han Tao thinking so much about her, Guan Juer looked at him with emotion and said softly, "Brother Han, thank you. I haven't seen my parents for a long time, and I really miss them.

But you're so busy at work, you don't have to make time to be with us. By the time I'm done, it'll be almost the weekend, and you can take them out to play after get off work these two nights."

"Don't be polite with me. Just focus on your work and I'll take care of the rest."

After saying that, Han Tao looked at Guan Juer's parents and continued, "Uncle, Auntie, the hotel has been booked for you in advance. Since you are not meeting the client until this afternoon, let me take you to rest first!"

"Xiao Han, you are such a thoughtful child, and you are so considerate. Thank you, Auntie!"

"Yes, I was originally here on a business trip. When your aunt found out, she followed me. I planned to just visit Guan Guan and then go back. I didn't expect to cause you so much trouble!"

"Uncle, you and aunt, please don't be polite. Now that you are here, just stay for a few days!"

"Okay, let's go, don't delay you and Guan Guan's afternoon work!"

"Well, the car is waiting outside, let's go down!"

Chapter 441 Guan Juer's Mother's Worry

After leaving the restaurant, Han Tao invited Guan Juer and her parents, and the four of them got into the Pullman that Yang Dongxu had driven earlier.

Along the way, Guan Juer's mother was learning about Han Tao's situation. During this time, she carefully examined the car and secretly nudged Guan's father with her elbow.

The latter knew what his wife meant, so he said in a casual tone, "Xiao Han, your car is quite high-end. I saw it in a magazine before. It's made by Mercedes-Benz, right? It seems to be very expensive. It's called Maybach or something?"

Han Tao nodded and said, "Uncle, this car is indeed made by Mercedes-Benz. It's called a Pullman. It's very comfortable and quiet."

Guan Juer's mother heard this and asked casually, "Xiao Han, I've never seen this car before. It has such a large space and the interior is also very high-end. It must be expensive!"

Hearing this, before Han Tao could respond, Guan Juer said a little embarrassedly: "Mom, don't you dislike cars? Why are you asking this?"

"What's the matter? We've had this car for years, and we're planning to replace it for your dad, so why don't you learn more about it?"

After Guan Juer's mother finished speaking, Guan Juer looked at him a little embarrassedly. Han Tao smiled and said:

"Auntie, this car was given to me by my eldest brother after I returned to Shanghai. The full price was 16 million."

"It's so expensive, nearly 20 million for a car?"

Guan Juer's mother was a little shocked. She knew that Han Tao's background was not as simple as it seemed. She had to ask her husband to mobilize his connections to investigate, otherwise she would not be at ease. It was not that there was a gap at all, but that the gap was too big, much bigger than she thought.

Although her family is considered middle class in her hometown and her husband works in a government agency, they are not rich, but they do have some assets.

But now it seems that people are really incomparable. Han Tao needs so much money for just a means of transportation. It seems that they are already two different classes.

After calming down, Guan Juer's mother continued to ask, "Xiao Han, how many brothers do you have? Are all your family members in business?"

"The brother I'm talking about is from my uncle's family. I grew up with my grandparents. My grandfather was a director of the Nantong Red Star Group, and my grandmother was a university professor, but they are both retired."

After Han Tao responded, Guan Juer didn't wait for her mother to ask any more questions, and awkwardly pulled her mother aside and said:

"Mom, why do you keep talking about this and that with Brother Han, and don't you ask how I am? Please chat with me. I haven't been home for so long, I miss you guys!"

"Okay, I won't ask anymore. I won't ask anymore. Mom will chat with you."

Guan Juer's mother also knew that too much is as bad as too little. Besides, it seemed a bit rude to ask such tentative questions on the first meeting. Moreover, the two of them had not yet confirmed their romantic relationship, so it was not appropriate to ask too many questions.

Soon, two cars stopped at the entrance of Park Hyatt Hotel one after the other. After Han Tao sent them to the hotel lobby, he said:

"Uncle, aunt, I won't go up with you. If you have any questions, please let Guan Guan call me.

There's also the 7 Series in the parking lot, the one that came with us. I'll leave it for you to use for the next two days. I've already instructed the driver to be on standby all day."

After saying that, Han Tao waved to the driver Wang Xiaotian who was following behind him, motioning him to come over.

Because Chen Xiwa had other tasks and Yang Dongxu had to follow Han Tao, this was one of the new drivers, and he was very familiar with the demons.

After hearing this, Guan's father quickly said politely: "Xiao Han, no need. This is too much trouble for you. We can just go out and take a taxi."

Guan Juer's mother also shook her head: "Yes, coming here has caused you a lot of trouble. Your uncle and I can just take a taxi."

"Uncle and aunt, please don't be polite. I have to go out to do some work this afternoon, and it's inconvenient to travel without a means of transportation. So let's not push it around. I'll keep the car. Just tell Xiao Wang if you need anything."

After saying that, Han Tao didn't wait for them to refute. He turned around and explained to the driver before saying goodbye and leaving. He had to go back to the law firm in the afternoon, so it was just right for him to send Guan Juer to Huaxin Securities as well.

Seeing this, Guan Juer said a few words to her parents and chased after him, then kept thanking Han Tao.

After watching Han Tao and her daughter leave, Guan Juer's mother looked at Guan's father and asked, "Stop looking. Tell me, what do you think of Xiao Han?"

"I think he's a good-looking guy, and he's a great lawyer. The most important thing is that my daughter likes him, and he also said he likes our daughter. What else are you dissatisfied with?"

Rolling her eyes at her husband, Guan Juer's mother sighed and said, "He does seem smart and capable, well-educated, and has a good job. It's just that his family background is a bit high. I'm afraid our Guan Guan won't be able to keep such an outstanding boy!"

The most important thing is that this kind of boy has a lot of people thinking about him, and there must be a lot of girls around him. Even if he doesn't have any other thoughts, he can't resist those beautiful girls chasing him. It's easy for a girl to chase a boy. How can Guan Guan, who is so stupid, deal with it? "

"You, you worry about those whose family conditions are not good, and you still worry about those who are too well off. There are not so many people who are well-matched.

And you always tell your daughter not to talk about others behind their backs, but you can't help it right after Xiao Han left. This is not good!"

"What are you talking about? I'm doing this for our daughter's own good. Besides, I can't even discuss this with my husband, can I?"

"Don't worry about it. I'm a man, don't you know? They say men like beautiful women, but what is a beautiful woman? Boys like Xiao Han are usually married to girls who are generous, decent, and good at managing the household!"

"That sounds reasonable. You seem quite experienced, don't you? Since you said all men like beautiful women, have you ever had some bad thoughts?"

"Look, you're here again. In my eyes, you are the most beautiful woman, and also the most generous, decent, and thrifty wife!"

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

A quarter of an hour later, after sending Guan Juer to Huaxin, Han Tao told Yang Dongxu to return to the law firm. Wendy specifically sent him a message to tell him that there was a new case and Director Li wanted him to talk about it.

However, before he arrived at the law firm, he received a call from Wang Manni, so he answered it directly:

"Hey, what's wrong, Nini? Didn't you go to see Xiaoqin with Gu Jia today? How is she? Is there anything you need help with?"

After hearing Han Tao's words, Wang Manni's voice came from the other end of the phone: "No, Xiaoqin was not in a good mood, so Gu Jia and I took her out to play."

"Okay, I understand. When will you be back? Do you need me to arrange for someone to pick you up in the evening?"

"No, we've already arrived in Shenzhen and should be taking a flight back tonight. And my car is parked at the airport, so there's no need for someone to pick me up. I'll text you when I get home."

"Well, be safe and call me if you need anything!"

"Got it. Gu Jia and Xiao Qin are still waiting for me to come over. Hang up!"

After saying that, Wang Manni hung up the phone and ran to the gate of the University of Finance and Economics.

After hearing her hang up the phone, Han Tao couldn't help but think of a scene in the original plot. The three of them went to the university to attend classes and had an encounter with several female protagonists of Twenty Not Confused. However, the original plot was after Zhong Xiaoqin's surgery, but unexpectedly it happened earlier.
