Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

After a long silence, Qiu Yingying couldn't help but ask, "Guan Guan, there are only three of us left now. What's your boyfriend's name? Do you have a photo?"

"Yingying, actually...actually, you all know this person!"

Guan Juer glanced at Qiu Yingying and Fan Shengmei, nodded slightly and said something ambiguous, then shyly hugged the pillow even tighter.

Guan Juer, Qiu Yingying and Fan Shengmei have been renting a house together for several months. They are considered her best friends. After all, in such a big city like Shanghai, three girls who have left their hometowns rent a house together and help each other. Such friendship is really rare.

So Guan Juer did not intend to hide it from them. On the contrary, she would tell them sooner or later. It was not something shameful.

However, her words made Fan Shengmei fall into deep thought. Among the people they knew, the only man who could be so generous was Han Tao. Her heart tightened when she thought of this, but when she thought of the gap between herself and Guan Juer, she felt relieved!

Qiu Yingying didn't think too much about it and asked directly out of curiosity, "How come I didn't know I knew such a good boy? He's rich, generous, and even knows music!"

"Are you stupid, little earthworm? Can't you use your brain?"

Rolling her eyes at the silly Qiu Yingying, Fan Shengmei looked at the shy but sweet Guan Juer and said directly, "Guan Guan, your boyfriend is Han Tao, right?"

Qiu Yingying, who was sitting on the right, heard the news and looked at Guan Juer, who nodded slightly, in surprise, and exclaimed:

"Guan Guan, is what Sister Fan said true? Your boyfriend is Brother Han, how come I didn't know when you hooked up with him!"

Seeing Qiu Yingying's inappropriate words, Guan Juer couldn't help but hit her and said unhappily:

"Yingying, what are you talking about? I'm getting angry if you keep talking nonsense like that!"

"Bah, look at my broken mouth, a crow's mouth, bah bah bah!"

Qiu Yingying realized that her words were not pleasant to the ear, and quickly slapped her mouth. Then she looked at Guan Juer, who looked embarrassed and annoyed, and explained:

"Guan Guan, don't be angry. I just slipped my tongue in excitement. You and Brother Han are a perfect match. Only you are worthy of him.

Sister Fan always says that a girl as outstanding as you is the perfect candidate for a wife. A good wife and mother with a wealthy family, you are the most popular with men!"

"Yingying, I don't blame you. I'm not as good as you say. I'm actually quite surprised that Brother Han doesn't dislike me. After all, he's such an outstanding person, there must be no shortage of girls around him who like him!"

Hearing Guan Juer's somewhat self-deprecating answer, Fan Shengmei suppressed the bitterness in her heart and asked with a smile:

"Guan Guan, now that you've met our parents, why are you still so unconfident? Didn't Han Tao confess his feelings to you? How could he dislike you?"

Fan Shengmei was really envious at this moment, but he knew that he had no chance and no capital, especially after he put aside all his dignity and asked for help that day.

Fan Shengmei knew that she couldn't even get the role of a lover, and at best she could be a seasoning in life, a change of taste occasionally.

Although Fan Shengmei had no choice, she felt that she still had room to work hard. As long as she could let go of her bottomless family and work hard to learn how to manage the company, she could still hold on to Han Tao, the generous boss.

Guan Juer hesitated for a long time, but finally mustered up the courage to say, "I don't know how to express our relationship. I admit that the person I had a crush on before was Brother Han, but I never dared to say it.

But Brother Han is such a nice person and has helped me many times. This time, I was afraid that my mother would arrange a blind date for me, so I asked Brother Han to help me block them.

But after we met, my mother was worried and talked a lot to Brother Han, and Brother Han responded to it and admitted that he liked me very much.

Then came what happened in the past few days. You all know that my mom and her friends stayed here for a few days. The car and hotel were arranged by Brother Han. Today, my mom had dinner elsewhere, and Brother Han, probably out of courtesy, gave us all gifts..."

"You're driving me crazy, Guan Guan. Let's get to the point. What happened after you gave me the gift? Did Brother Han confess his feelings to you?"

Seeing her explaining the story leisurely, Qiu Yingying anxiously grabbed her hand, interrupted her, and asked anxiously.

Guan Juer shook her head, her face turning even redder, and whispered, "No, I didn't accept the gift from Brother Han, and he told me not to feel any pressure. He didn't mean anything else. If you're worried about people misunderstanding you should just treat what happened these past few days as a friend helping you. When I got anxious, I told him I liked him, and then..."

Qiu Yingying seemed to have experienced this process herself and excitedly shouted, "Oh my God, does that mean you confessed your love to Brother Han? Oh my god, this is so romantic! I didn't expect you to be so bold, Guan Guan?"

Her shouting made Guan Juer even more shy, and she buried her face in the pillow. This made Qiu Yingying beside her ask more curiously, and Guan Juer slowly told her what happened afterwards, including buying a house.

After hearing her experience today, Qiu Yingying couldn't help but look at Fan Shengmei and said in a depressed voice: "Sister Fan, Brother Han lent you 200,000 yuan and asked you to manage the coffee shop in the future.

Not to mention Guan Guan, these are watches worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and houses worth millions or even tens of millions. Logically, I should be happy for you, but why do I feel so sad?

I was the first one to meet Brother Han, and I was the one who introduced you to each other, but why didn’t I think of pursuing him?

Before, I foolishly thought that Bai Zhanan was particularly good, but I didn’t expect that I foolishly missed the best man. I am so miserable..."

"Silly girl, it's normal for you to feel uncomfortable, but it's rare that you can say it openly. You're a friend worth making."

As she spoke, Fan Shengmei patted Qiu Yingying's head and continued to comfort her, "But don't be sad, have you forgotten your online store?

As for running the cafe, it's not just me, it's the three of us, so you have Sister Fan by your side. You have to learn to be content!"

"Sister Fan, I know what you mean. I'm just feeling sentimental and envious. You said Guan Guan's first love was able to find a man as good as Brother Han, so why am I so unlucky?

My first boyfriend was a scumbag named Bai, and I almost lost my virginity. I regret it so much now. It's all thanks to you and Brother Han!"

Seeing Qiu Yingying revealing her scars, Guan Juer adjusted her glasses and comforted Qiu Yingying, "Yingying, don't be sad. You will definitely meet a better man who likes you.

We just have to look forward. I'll treat you and Sister Fan to a nice meal later. Good food will make you happy!"

Seeing Fan Shengmei and Guan Juer comforting her, Qiu Yingying nodded, her face once again filled with smiles as she said, "Yes, I will definitely be happy, and we all should be happy.

But I have to remind you, Guan Guan, don't tell Qu Xiaoxiao about this, otherwise she will definitely make trouble. And every time she looks at Brother Han, it's as if she wants to eat him up in one bite.

So what you did today was right. Otherwise, if she knew you were with Brother Han, she would definitely try to kill you, and you wouldn't even know how you died!"

"Should I tell Sister Andy?" Guan Juer muttered hesitantly.

Fan Shengmei suggested, "I think we shouldn't make it public yet. Let's wait until we're closer. After all, we've only confirmed our relationship and aren't ready to get married yet, so there's no need for everyone to know. Andy and Xiaoqu have a good relationship, so it's inevitable that something will slip up!"

"Well, I'll listen to Sister Fan. Although I've decided to be with Brother Han for the rest of my life, I have to be on guard against Xiao Qu causing trouble!"

Seeing Guan Juer's serious look, Fan Shengmei spat in her heart, thinking that Han Tao was just like the wolf grandmother who deceived the little white rabbit, so she reminded him:

"Guan Guan, Sister Fan, please stop nagging me. You and Han Tao have just confirmed your relationship. Don't give in to him in everything. For a man, the best thing is not to have what he wants. Got it?"

"Sister Fan, what are you talking about?"

Guan Juer thought about the passionate kiss today and knew what Fan Shengmei meant, so her face flushed and she said, "I've already said, I won't move out. I want to live with you and Yingying forever!"

"Silly girl, I reminded you not to give yourself up so easily because I wanted you to be more reserved and give yourself time to return. Do you think you can still live with us forever?"

"So what? I just want to live with you. Isn't it good for the three of us to be together forever?"

Hearing Guan Juer's innocent words, Fan Shengmei gave her a white look, then tapped her forehead with his index finger and said:

"Come on, you're just saying that now. You won't think so after you taste the forbidden fruit. Once you've had it, you'll know the taste. By then, you won't even remember who Sister Fan is!"

"No way, Brother Han said someone should buy the house downstairs, and then we can live together!"

As she spoke, Guan Juer had already stood up. Without waiting for Fan Shengmei to say anything, she shyly ran to her room and said, "I'm going to bed. Good night!"

"Hahaha, Guan Guan is shy!"

After Guan Juer closed the door, Qiu Yingying looked at Fan Shengmei with curiosity, but Fan Shengmei was no longer in the mood to talk to her, so she stood up and said:

"Little earthworm, it's getting late. Go to bed and we can talk about it tomorrow. Good night!"

"Okay, good night, Sister Fan!"

Qiu Yingying could only nod, turn off the lights in the living room, and walk back to her bedroom.

However, for some reason, Qiu Yingying, lying in bed, couldn't help but have wild thoughts, so she tossed and turned and had difficulty falling asleep.

Guan Juer was lying in bed, watching the video she had recorded. Han Tao's every move emerged in her mind, including some small details such as picking up food for her and handing her a tissue, as well as the two kissing. She couldn't help but feel hot in her body!

At the same time, in Fan Shengmei's room, she changed into a professional suit and stood in front of the floor-length mirror, looking at her graceful figure. Especially when she saw her proud capital on her chest, she couldn't help blushing.

It took her a long time to come back to her senses. She sat down on a chair and took out a notebook. The content on it was the store information she had sorted out. The ideal location was the small shop not far from the boutique coffee house.

This shop is very close to several office buildings across the street. It used to sell takeout hamburgers, but it was sublet due to some things. The store is not big, which fits the small and exquisite setting, and the location is ideal.

The most important thing is that Han Tao has already registered the company and selected the raw materials. I heard that he has signed contracts directly with several villages in Yunnan. As long as the results here are ideal, he will build a factory. This is the most important thing to her.

So he planned to talk to Han Tao about the first store. She had lived with too much inferiority complex and too many worries before. In the future, she would live for herself and rely on Han Tao as a big tree to live a wonderful life.

Chapter 484 Cafe Plan Launched

The next morning, in Room 2202 of the Ode to Joy community, Guan Juer, Fan Shengmei, and Qiu Yingying got up one after another amidst the sound of alarm clocks, then walked out of their bedrooms to wash up, and then the three of them went out together.

Guan Juer looked at Fan Shengmei and said, "Sister Fan, didn't you resign? Why are you running out so early like us?"

Hearing this, Fan Shengmei smiled and said, "I've picked a shop and have an appointment to discuss leasing it at 8 o'clock, so I'm going there early to see how the traffic there is in the morning."

"Oh, then I wish Sister Fan all the best!"

At this time, Qiu Yingying pressed the elevator button, looked at Guan Juer and asked, "Guan Guan, are you going to work with Sister Andy or Brother Han today?"

Guan Juer looked at her new dress, then smiled and replied to Qiu Yingying: "Brother Han said he is not busy these two days, so he will take me to work. If I don't come back to stay for something, he will also ask the driver to pick me up."

"I can't handle it anymore. Brother Han is so thoughtful. You're so happy, Guan Guan. You two are so sweet!"

Hearing Qiu Yingying yelling, Guan Juer couldn't help but cover her mouth and said, "Yingying, keep your voice down. I've already told Brother Han, there's no need to go through so much trouble.

If he has something to do, I'll go to and from get off work with Sister Andy. Otherwise, it would be awkward to pick him up and drop him off. I'm not some rich girl!"

"Guan Guan, you have to learn to adapt. After all, you are Han Tao's girlfriend now, and your status is different.

And you will definitely be accompanying him to some events in the future, like charity galas or other high-end salons, so you can’t be so shy all the time, you have to learn to be open and confident!”

After saying that, the elevator arrived. Fan Shengmei walked in first, then pressed the door open button and waited for them to come up.

Hearing this, Guan Juer stepped to the innermost corner and shook her head, saying, "Sister Fan, don't scare me. I won't go to that kind of occasion. Otherwise, I'll get so nervous that I won't be able to speak. That would be embarrassing, and it would also be embarrassing for Brother Han!"

Seeing Guan Juer being so shy, Fan Shengmei couldn't help but shake her head and sigh, "Alas, it's true that we have the same fate but different destiny. Those who want to go can't go, and you who can go don't want to go. How can this be justified!"

"What's the big deal? If Brother Han really goes to participate in such an event in the future, I will definitely let him take you with him, and you can be his female companion for me, isn't that all that matters!"

Guan Juer also pulled her hand to comfort Fan Shengmei, who looked melancholy.

Fan Shengmei pinched her little face, suppressed her laughter and said, "Silly girl, Sister Fan, thank you for still thinking of me. But I'm fine with you going out to see the world, but I don't dare think about having a female companion!"

"What's there to be afraid of? I won't mind!"

As they were talking, the elevator stopped at the first floor. Fan Shengmei didn't respond and went down with Qiu Yingying.

Seeing this, Guan Juer could only say goodbye: "Sister Fan, Yingying, let's have a delicious meal together tonight, bye!"

"Well, bye Guan Guan!"

"Bye, keep your word, Guan Guan. I'll wait for you after get off work. I want to eat donuts and cake!"

"Okay, enough!"

After waving her hand, Guan Juer took the elevator to the underground garage. Han Tao was already waiting for her. The two looked at each other knowingly and got in the car.

After they were seated, Yang Dongxu pressed the electric control switch in the front row that could only be closed but not opened, completely isolating the rest area from the cockpit.

However, this sensible action made Guan Juer blush and she couldn't help but recall the scene of their kiss before.

Seeing her suddenly shy, Han Tao opened the insulated lunch box on the table, laid out a few exquisite breakfast items, and said with a smile:

"Eat quickly, otherwise you won't have time to eat a proper breakfast when you get to the company!"

"Well, thank you, Brother Han!"

Guan Juer nodded sweetly, then picked up her chopsticks and ate breakfast with Han Tao while chatting about what happened in 2202 yesterday, her recent work situation, etc.

Han Tao on the side listened more than he spoke, and only occasionally gave her some guidance when she encountered some problems that she couldn't figure out.

However, this gentle and thoughtful gesture made Guan Juer admire and love him even more.

When they arrived at the entrance of Huaxin Securities, Guan Juer still felt unsatisfied with the conversation, and she felt like she hadn't finished yet. So when she was about to open the door and get out of the car, Han Tao smiled and pulled her aside and said,

"Guan Guan, you just left like that. Did you forget something?"

Hearing Han Tao's words, Guan Juer's face instantly turned red as she thought of something, then she shyly turned around and kissed Han Tao, but before she could react, he hugged her waist and gave her a long kiss.

This kind of thing requires a lot of practice, otherwise Guan Juer's skills are too immature, so the two did not separate until she was almost out of breath.

Guan Juer was completely attracted by this novel feeling. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer she would be reluctant to get off the bus, so she hurriedly opened the door and said:

"I'm going to be late, bye, Brother Han!"

"Bye, call me if you need anything. If you don't have to work overtime tonight, I'll pick you up!"

"Oh, I see!"

Looking at Guan Juer who was running towards her colleagues and waving, Han Tao smiled. After changing her style, Guan Juer's temperament changed drastically. The decent and elegant dress made her look like a lotus in clear water.

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

At the same time, Fan Shengmei had arrived at the door of the store she had previously liked and met the landlord, an old lady in her sixties who looked very kind.

"Girl, can I ask what you're going to use my house for? I don't plan to rent it out to snack shops or anything like that, otherwise it'll be too messy!"

"Don't worry, Auntie. We rented this house to open a cafe, not a snack shop!"

The old lady was very enthusiastic. When she heard Fan Shengmei said she wanted to open a coffee shop, she anxiously reminded her, "Oh my! How can you open a coffee shop in such a small store? Don't joke with me, little girl!"
