Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

Looking at Gu Jia who was determined to make a desperate move, Wang Manni was amazed and continued with some emotion:

"I really envy you. I don't have your courage. I worked at Missia for six or seven years before I was promoted to deputy store manager. And I only got that thanks to Han Tao."

Looking at Wang Manni and Gu Jia, Zhong Xiaoqin rolled her eyes and said, "Manni, please stop being so ungrateful, okay? Look at the mansion you live in, the car you drive, and the food, clothes, and everything else you use are all the best. We should envy you for guessing right."

"Yes, Manny, Han Tao is so good to you. He loves and pampers you so much. If we get married, the wedding will definitely be grand. Unlike Chen Yu, who gave me nothing and didn't even hold a wedding, we are just together like this.

And I know best how much Gu Gu has sacrificed to live here in order to give Zi Yan a good future and prevent him from losing at the starting line, so it's right that we envy you."

Hearing Zhong Xiaoqin say this, Wang Manni asked curiously: "Xiaoqin, why didn't you and Teacher Chen hold a wedding?"

"He said getting married was like a monkey show, with two people standing on a stage and being laughed at by everyone. It was better not to get married. So after we got the marriage certificate, he took me out for a nice meal, and then we moved in together."

"It's just that simple to be together?"

Wang Manni glanced at Zhong Xiaoqin in disbelief, but thinking of her own situation, she couldn't help but sigh and said:

"To be honest, it's actually nothing. If Han Tao is willing to get a marriage certificate with me, I don't have to hold a wedding. Compared to the sense of ceremony, I want a real sense of security more."

Hearing Wang Manni say this, Zhong Xiaoqin widened her eyes slightly and said in disbelief: "Manni, what do you mean? How can it be considered a marriage without a marriage certificate?"

Gu Jia knew Han Tao's situation and was afraid that Wang Manni would be embarrassed, so she tried to smooth things over by saying, "You can't say that. The older generation didn't have a so-called marriage certificate. If you had a wedding banquet and all the neighbors witnessed it, then you were married.

Nowadays, it is easy for people to get a marriage certificate and divorce, so weddings are more important in many areas.

Actually, even now in many places, boys or girls who get married early don’t have marriage certificates because they are not old enough…”

After Gu Jia finished speaking, Wang Manni glanced at Zhong Xiaoqin and her, and couldn't help but say what was weighing on her heart:

"I actually thought a lot on the cruise this time, and it was quite tangled. The first time I met Han Tao was when he was with his girlfriend, and I was on duty at Nanjing West Road in Missiya.

He spent two million at the time, and the first jewelry order that helped me get promoted was also paid for by him. So, I was actually the third party..."

After listening to Wang Manni's narration, Gu Jia didn't react much, but Zhong Xiaoqin was a little shocked. She widened her eyes and exclaimed:

"Manny, isn't Han Tao trying to do this? How could he do this? It's so abominable!"

Wang Manni shook her head and breathed a sigh of relief. "Actually, I don't blame him. I knew from the beginning that he had a girlfriend. Like I just said, I was the third person who interfered with his relationship."

Gu Jia glanced at Wang Manni and couldn't help asking, "Manni, no matter what, what he did was not right. Don't you blame him?"

"No, I never blamed him!"

Wang Manni shook her head slightly, her face flushed slightly as she said, "Actually, on the night we first got together, I took the initiative to leave him at the rental house.

Please don't laugh at me when I tell you this. I don't know what's going on, but it feels like someone keeps telling me that no matter how many women he has, as long as he has me in his heart and I can be with him, that's all that matters!"

Gu Jia didn't expect Wang Manni to say that. She glanced at her and said, "Manni, did Han Tao put some kind of love spell on you, making you follow him so wholeheartedly?"

Hearing this, Zhong Xiaoqin, who was standing by, didn't wait for Wang Manni's response and jokingly said curiously, "I think so. Otherwise, why would Manni care about him so much? If things continue like this, Manni, you'll never be able to escape from his control!"

"Actually, I knew I couldn't escape, and I didn't want to, because our meeting was a beautiful memory that I could remember for the rest of my life. Ever since he went to the main store to order jewelry..."

Wang Manni then recounted everything from the time she customized the jewelry, to her illness, to how she took the initiative to keep Han Tao, to how she was later urged to move out by the landlord.

During the period, he also talked about how Han Tao bought him a house in Grand Hyatt, how he was promoted, etc., which was a detailed account of everything.

Chapter 466 Like a wolf and a tiger

After Wang Manni finished speaking, Zhong Xiaoqin was already moved to tears, and she cried so hard that she felt like she was watching a romantic TV series.

Seeing this, Wang Manni quickly handed her a tissue and said, "This is how it is. He saved my life anyway, so I might as well give him my heart and my being.

What's more, if you get to know Han Tao in depth, you will find that he is really good to his women. He is much more responsible than most men!

In fact, when a woman is looking for a husband, isn’t she looking for someone who loves her, cherishes her, and cares about her?

Han Tao always takes my feelings and self-esteem into consideration. It can be said that he responds to everything, has a solution for everything, and explains everything. He thinks of everything in advance.

He's young, wealthy, generous, and capable. Imagine if someone like Han Tao really liked you. Are you sure you could refuse?

Seeing Wang Manni's face full of happiness and sweetness, Zhong Xiaoqin couldn't help but think of her several contacts with Han Tao, which were indeed very comfortable. Thinking about Chen Yu's indifferent attitude, she couldn't help but sigh:

"I really envy Manni. At least Han Tao cares about you and has even planned your future. Unlike Chen Yu, who only cares about his fish and is selfish and cold. I really don't know why I fell in love with him back then."

Knowing that Zhong Xiaoqin was weak due to a miscarriage, and that she had an unpleasant quarrel with Chen Yu yesterday, Wang Manni didn't want to make her sad, so she smiled and said:

"Teacher Chen is just too busy with work, but since he made our Xiaoqin angry, Gu Jia and I will definitely help you vent your anger. When he comes to pick you up, we will give him a good scolding and make him apologize to you!"

"Manny is right. I'll have a good talk with Teacher Chen when he comes. Besides, your birthday is coming soon, so let him make it up to you."

Gu Jia nodded in agreement. Xiaoqin came to her house alone last night and didn't even have enough money for a taxi fare, so she had an opinion of Chen Yu.

Zhong Xiaoqin shook her head: "Let's not talk about Chen Yu, Manni. Although I am very moved by your love with Han Tao, I still think he is too bad!"

"No, Xiaoqin, Han Tao's thing is broken. I already said I was the one who took the initiative."

"Oh, he's just bad, two-timing. At your age, I wonder if your body can handle it? He's really a philanderer!"

"What do you mean, Xiaoqin? We are the same age. What's wrong with my age?"

"What else can I say? Thirty is like a wolf, forty is like a tiger!"

"Zhong Xiaoqin, I didn't realize you were such a person. You dare to say anything!"

While the two were playing around, a ringtone rang. It was Gu Jia's phone, so she glanced at the caller ID and said:

"Manny, Xiaoqin, this is the manager of our fireworks company. Stop making trouble. I'm going to take a call."

"Okay, business is more important, don't worry about us!"

"Yeah, Gu Jia, let's not talk, you answer the phone first!"

After hearing what Zhong Xiaoqin and Wang Manni said, Gu Jia nodded and continued, "Manager Yang, what's the matter with you calling?"

"Jia Jie, the police have arrested Chen Xu for producing and selling counterfeit goods, and they found him red-handed in the company's storage room. Boss Xu has gone to the factory again. What do you think we should do?"

"Manager Yang, Mr. Xu has gone to the factory to discuss the new design. Don't tell him about this in advance. You stay at the company and keep an eye on it. I'll go to the police station to find out what's going on."

After saying that, Gu Jia hung up the phone. Zhong Xiaoqin, who was standing by, was stunned and a little at a loss when she heard the news that Chen Yu was arrested.

When Wang Manni heard that something had happened to Zhong Xiaoqin's brother-in-law, she looked at Gu Jia worriedly.

"Xiaoqin, call Teacher Chen and wait for my news here. I'll go to the police station first to find out what happened."

After hearing Gu Jia's instructions, Zhong Xiaoqin came back to her senses and quickly called Chen Yu, but no one answered after a long time. She could only look at Gu Jia and said:

"Gu Gu, no one answered the phone. I'll go with you to check it out, otherwise I'll be worried.

After all, this is all my fault. If I hadn't introduced Chen Xu to you, this wouldn't have happened.

Now that Chen Xu has been arrested in your company, it will definitely have a negative impact on you. I am truly sorry."

"It's not that serious. Don't worry, Xiaoqin. Maybe it's nothing serious."

As she spoke, Gu Jia picked up her bag and comforted Zhong Xiaoqin, saying, "Besides, Chen Xu came to work because Huanshan and I thought he was good. You just introduced him to him. How can I blame you!"

"Yes, Xiaoqin, didn't we talk about counterfeiting and selling fake goods on the phone? If the amount involved is not large, it shouldn't be a big deal. Don't worry."

After Wang Manni finished speaking, Gu Jia saw that Zhong Xiaoqin still looked a little guilty and worried, so she wiped her tears helplessly and said:

"Why don't you follow me too, otherwise I don't think you'll be able to rest easy!"

"I'll go with you. Let's go to the police station first to find out the situation. We'll talk about other things when we come back!"

"That's fine. If there's really a problem, let Manni call Han Tao so we don't get confused!"

"Yes, Han Tao is a famous lawyer, and I feel more at ease with Manny following him!"

"No problem, let's go!"

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

As the sun sets, inside the police station, Chen Yu looks at his younger brother Chen Xu, who is behind bars. He angrily asks, "Chen Xu, what have you done?"

Hearing this, Chen Xu leaned over the iron gate and said anxiously, "Brother, this is unfair! I just got the shoes and before I could sell them, I was arrested by the police. This is really unfair!"

"Everyone who comes here claims they've been wronged, but whether they're truly wronged or not depends on where they end up!"

Hearing the policeman beside him say this, Chen Yu was angry, but he still asked helplessly: "Comrade policeman, what do you mean by this? Is his condition serious?"

After hearing the conversation between the two, Chen Yu was really scared. Before the police could respond, he couldn't wait to shout:

"Brother, you must find a way to see me out. I'm your biological brother. Or you can ask my sister-in-law to find Sister Jia. She will definitely find a way to get me out!"

"What are you fishing for?"

Glancing at the agitated Chen Xu, the police officer beside him warned, "Don't even think about those useless things. Telling the truth is better than anything else. If you want to get out early, just say this: Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be treated severely!"

"You deserve it!" Chen Yu pointed at his brother with disappointment, then looked at the police.

But before he could say anything, Zhong Xiaoqin ran in, and Chen Xu was like seeing a savior:

"Sister-in-law, please save me! My brother doesn't care about me, but you can't just ignore me! I'm being wronged!"

"Be honest with me!"

Seeing Chen Xu making a fuss, the police reprimanded him, then looked at Chen Yu and later Zhong Xiaoqin and said:

"Don't bother us here. Now that you've seen us, hurry up and leave!"

"Brother, sister-in-law, think of a way, remember to rescue me!"

Hearing Chen Xu still shouting, Zhong Xiaoqin was afraid of offending the police comrades, so she hurriedly followed him out and asked carefully:

"Comrade police officer, what on earth did he do wrong?"

"We received a tip-off from the public that your brother was manufacturing and selling counterfeit goods, and during a surprise inspection, he was caught red-handed!"

"Comrade police officer, under normal circumstances, how do you punish someone like him?"

"It depends on the circumstances, but we'll have to go through a preliminary investigation to verify the specific profits. If it's just a formality, we'll hold you in custody. So don't waste your time here, just go home and wait for notification!"

After saying that, the policeman pushed open the office door and walked in while Zhong Xiaoqin and Chen Yu thanked him.

Seeing this, Zhong Xiaoqin could only look at her two best friends waiting on the side. After hearing the general situation, Gu Jia and Wang Manni looked at each other. The latter took out her mobile phone and called Han Tao while walking out.

Zhong Xiaoqin, Gu Jia, and Chen Yu followed behind, waiting until Wang Manni finished her call. Then she asked worriedly, "Manni, what did Han Tao say?"

"Don't worry, it's nothing serious!"

Wang Manni put down the phone, smiled and looked at Zhong Xiaoqin, comforting her, "I told him the general situation, and he said he would arrange for someone to follow up on the case. In a case like Chen Xu's, the maximum he would receive would be administrative detention for fifteen days, followed by a fine!"

Hearing Wang Manni say this, Zhong Xiaoqin felt relieved and said with a happy smile: "Manni, please trouble you and Han Tao. Please tell him thank you for me. I will treat you to dinner another day!"

"What are you talking about? Why are we being so polite?"

Giving Zhong Xiaoqin a blank look, Wang Manni touched her head and said lovingly, "Our Xiaoqin is so cute, why would I worry about you if I don't help you?"

"Hate it, I'm not a child, why are you patting my head!"

"Seeing your little face like this, I always feel like you haven't grown up yet!"

Gu Jia, who was standing by, saw Wang Manni making Zhong Xiaoqin happy and knew this was a good opportunity, so she reminded Chen Yu to coax Zhong Xiaoqin.

Then she took two steps forward, pulled Wang Manni and said, "Xiaoqin, it's getting late. Manni and I will go back first. You go home with Chen Yu. He said he has something to talk to you about!"

Zhong Xiaoqin was still a little angry with Chen Yu, so when she heard Gu Jia say this, she pouted and said, "Gu Gu, don't leave. I still want to stay at Manny's house for two days!"

"Why are you staying here? Manny is going on a date with Han Tao these days, it's not convenient for you to stay there. Go home with Teacher Chen quickly, be good!"

After saying that, Gu Jia pulled Wang Manni into her car and drove away without waiting for Zhong Xiaoqin to react.

In fact, Gu Jia is quite worried about the relationship between Zhong Xiaoqin and Chen Yu. Zhong Xiaoqin is idealistic, like a child who never grows up, and Chen Yu is too cold.

Especially since Chen Yu was worried sick in his original family, his purpose of getting married was to stop worrying and to find a woman who could be both a nanny and a wife to live with.

This led to the two of them arguing over trivial matters, such as the lock was too difficult to use, you didn't come to pick me up, why didn't you answer the phone, why aren't you sad at all that your child is gone, etc.

Although these are not big things, if they continue like this, cracks will appear in their marriage sooner or later, and then it will be impossible to save it. So Gu Jia, their best friend, is trying her best to help them.

Chapter 467: Zhong Xiaoqin's emotional outburst

Zhong Xiaoqin followed Chen Yu back home and saw Pikachu running to her feet. She picked up the fat orange cat and held it in her arms. She looked at Chen Xu, who had an unpleasant expression, and asked unhappily:

"Chen Yu, didn't Manny ask Han Tao for help? He said everything is fine, you don't have to worry.

Besides, Han Tao has also promised to arrange for a lawyer from the law firm to follow up on this matter. Why are you still so worried? "

"Zhong Xiaoqin, why do you care about him?"
