Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

As the workday was about to end, there was another knock on Han Tao's office door. It turned out that Chen Ran knew that Xu Jie had returned, which meant that the matter of her father Chen Wenguang had come to a conclusion, so she ran back to the law firm to find out the situation.

Seeing Chen Ran's anxious look, Han Tao poured her a glass of water and said, "Lawyer Chen, please sit down and drink some water first. If you have anything to say, please speak slowly."

"Thank you!"

Chen Ran nodded in thanks, then sat down on the sofa opposite Han Tao, took the teacup, and said, "Director Han, I heard that Lawyer Xu is back. Is there a conclusion to my father's case?"

After saying that, Chen Ran looked at Han Tao expectantly. She had been spoiled since she was a child and had her father's support all the way. Many people in the Mingtang Law Firm envied her, and some even called her the eldest lady.

But later, when Chen Wenguang got into trouble, Chen Ran lost her backing and her case sources. Even her car was taken back. She could only be cautious and prudent until Han Tao took over Group 2. She was able to turn things around and became grateful to Han Tao.

The most important thing is that Han Tao allowed her to demonstrate her value and ability. Although the case was given by Han Tao, he did not intervene in any way during the entire case-handling process except for giving instructions.

"That's right. Lawyer Xu brought back strong evidence that proves Director Chen's innocence. It can also completely bring down Lian Chuang and help the hundreds of victims who were deceived get justice."

Hearing Han Tao's words, Chen Ran said excitedly: "Director Han, I know you have helped me a lot, but this matter is very important to me, so I want to ask you a favor!"

Seeing her humble attitude, Han Tao waved his hand and said, "Don't be polite. Just tell me what you want. I will definitely help you if I can."

"Director Han, I know you plan to personally handle Lian Chuang's case, but can I personally serve as my father's defense lawyer?"

After hearing Chen Ran's words, Han Tao did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked at her and was silent for a moment before saying:

"I understand how you feel, but it's best for you to wait and see how things develop. After all, Director Chen's current defense lawyer is your senior.

Furthermore, this case involves serious issues. Even if you could participate, you would only be an accompanying person. Because of your relationship with Director Chen, you are likely to be attacked and criticized!"

Talking about his father's disagreement with him being a defense lawyer, Chen Ran felt helpless, so he nodded in agreement:

“Okay, I understand, Director Han, but can I appear in court as your assistant?

This period of time has been incredibly tormenting, and I've been unable to do anything but numb myself with work. I hope to see with my own eyes that my father is innocent. At least I've tried my best and participated in this process!"

"Sure, I can take you with me to court!"

Han Tao nodded, but still reminded: "But I want to remind you, although I agree that you can go to court together, but before that you have to adjust your mentality and not let others see it.

After all, we still have a few days before leaving the court, so we must not let anyone notice any clues, otherwise Lian Chuang will be prepared and take him down before we can even wait, and all our efforts will be in vain!"

Chen Ran knew the interests involved here, and all he had to do was wait, so he didn't say anything else, but nodded, stood up and said goodbye:

"Understood. Thank you, Director. I'll get to work then!"

Han Tao nodded and walked her to the door. Watching Chen Ran leave with a lost and bitter expression, he still understood her feelings.

Chen Ran has always wanted to get involved in Chen Wenguang's affairs, and since she is also a lawyer, she feels that she can help her father.

But Chen Wenguang always refused to accept it, and her investigation had not made any breakthroughs. This feeling of powerlessness was the most uncomfortable.

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

Half an hour later, Han Tao left the law firm after get off work, then got in the car and told Yang Dongxu to go straight to Xu Jie.

This time, Xu Jie was on a business trip and experienced some crises and twists and turns. She had just returned to China, so she needed to go there to enlighten and comfort her.

When the car was halfway through the journey, Xu Jie called: "Hello, where are you?"

"Are you awake? I'm on my way to your house. Didn't I promise to welcome you home?"

"I've woken up, but I'm not very hungry yet. Let's eat later. First, go somewhere with me. I've been too excited these past few days and I need to let off some steam!"

"Okay, send me the location, I'll go straight over!"

"Well, I'll wait for you. See you there!"

After saying that, Xu Jie hung up the phone and sent an address to Han Tao. At this time, she was already sitting in the gym, looking out the window bored.

In her last relationship, she experienced a huge betrayal and lost her job because of her boyfriend's blame. This made Xu Jie have a strong sense of self-protection and a natural defense and rejection of intimate relationships.

But she happened to come to Shanghai, a place where she was unfamiliar with everyone, had neither family nor friends. The lonely and empty life in the huge house was a huge gap from her previous rich life.

It was also under such circumstances that she developed a natural affinity and interest in Han Tao, a well-known lawyer who had also just returned to Shanghai. However, at that time it was just a simple physical impulse.

But after the bar crisis, Xu Jie discovered that Han Tao was a man with a story, which led to subsequent developments.

She experienced a lot on this business trip, so after returning home, the person Xu Jie wanted to see most was Han Tao.

About an hour later, Han Tao walked into the gym and changed into his sportswear. Xu Jie glanced at the time and said with some dissatisfaction:

"Why are you here just now? What time is it?"

"Just be content. There's traffic jams everywhere in Shanghai at this time of year. Besides, you're at the gym. How can I play basketball with you if I don't change my clothes?"

Hearing him say this, Xu Jie didn't dwell on the question. She threw a tennis racket over and said, "Okay, you pass!"

"Then let's get started. After the fight, let's go eat!"

Han Tao smiled, picked up the racket, and walked directly to the tennis court. Playing tennis requires a complete and unified mobilization of energy and spirit, so it is most suitable for relieving and venting emotions.

After playing for an hour and a half, the two of them left the gym to eat. When they returned home, slightly tipsy, it was already half past ten.

After entering the room, Han Tao looked at Xu Jie with her charming eyes and without any words, he picked her up by the waist and walked towards the bathroom. The bathtub was already filled with rose petals.

Xu Jie didn't say much. She put her arms around Han Tao's neck, gave him a kiss, and unbuttoned his shirt one by one, taking it off.

As the last piece of clothing for her and Han Tao fell to the ground, the hot water in the bathtub was ready.

Han Tao looked down at the blushing Xu Jie in his arms, gently put her in, and then bent down with her. Then the water rippled, and rose petals overflowed along with the warm water.

When love is deep, it naturally becomes stronger. When feelings are so strong, how can you bear to let go? When love is deep, there is no regret. What else can you ask for in the vicissitudes of life?

Chapter 500 Zhu Suosuo is on a business trip

The next morning, after Han Tao came back from running, he accompanied Xu Jie for breakfast before going to work at the law firm.

During this period, Xu Jie once again expressed that she did not want her colleagues to care too much about her private life, so their relationship remained the same. Han Tao did not say anything and nodded in agreement.

Before he even sat down at the law firm, he received a call from Zhu Suosuo. It turned out that Ye Jinyan had begun to vigorously cultivate Zhu Suosuo recently, and took her to various occasions to help her accumulate experience and connections.

Because Zhu Suosuo learns quickly and can get used to the assistant work quickly, Ye Jinyan plans to let her go on a business trip with Fan Jingang to negotiate a piece of land that has not been acquired for a long time.

The goblin Yan has been eyeing this piece of land for a long time, so he is determined to get it. Zhu Suosuo is worried that Nansun will not be used to being alone at home, so she calls Han Tao to go back to Dongli and live there for a few days so that he can accompany her.

After listening to what Zhu Suosuo said, Han Tao immediately thought of a plot in the original story. Wang Feiyu from Bincheng had a grudge with Ye Jinyan, and this time he was looking for trouble, so Zhu Suosuo was in danger on this trip.

After all, reality is not static. Since the other party intends to retaliate, and there are so many gossips about Zhu Suosuo in Jingyan, Han Tao is not as simple as portrayed in the plot.

Thinking of this, Han Tao asked directly: "Suosuo, are you ready to leave, or have you already set off?"

"We've already arrived in Bincheng. Something unexpected happened. That company started arguing with us. No matter how much we bid, they'd add 5% to the price. They also asked Mr. Ye to come over for the negotiation.

But Mr. Ye has been too busy recently and has something to do these days so he asked Secretary Fan and me to make this trip.

So I didn't prepare anything, and I left early this morning, so I was so busy that I forgot to tell you. I only remembered it after getting off the high-speed train, so I called you right away!

"Suosuo, after hearing what you said, I think the other party is deliberately trying to trip up Old Ye again. Remind Secretary Fan that it's best not to rush into the meeting. I'll help you check the other party's background to avoid any danger!"

Hearing Han Tao say this, Zhu Suosuo, who had never experienced anything, smiled and said exaggeratedly:

"No need for that. How could this be dangerous? This isn't a gangster movie. Are they really going to kill someone to silence them just for business?"

Before Han Tao could respond, Fan Jingang, who had heard the conversation between the two, couldn't help but ask Zhu Suosuo to turn on the hands-free mode and jokingly said:

"Boss Han, you're still worried about Suosuo going on a business trip with me. Aren't you worrying too much?"

Hearing this, Han Tao could only laugh and said, "I can't help it. I've come across many cases of this nature in my line of work. Many construction companies have shady backgrounds, and this time they're deliberately targeting Jingyan's project, so I have to remind you.

Especially judging by what Suosuo said, the other party should be coming for Old Ye, but Mr. Ye has something to do so I let you two go. I'm afraid they might get angry and have other ideas and keep you as hostages!"

After hearing Han Tao's analysis, Fan Jingang was also a little thoughtful. In the early years, such things were not uncommon, but considering that such things rarely happen now, he said:

"Don't worry, Mr. Han. We are all looking for money now, so it won't happen. Besides, we have come across all kinds of opponents over the years, and I, Fan Jingang, am not that easy to deal with."

"I hope so, but it's best to be safe than sorry. If anything happens, give me a call."

Knowing that Han Tao was concerned about them, Fan Jingang responded, "Okay, I will definitely take good care of and protect Suosuo, Mr. Han, don't worry!"

After all, nothing had happened, and Han Tao couldn't say it openly, so he nodded and said, "Okay, that's it. When you get to the place, have Suosuo send me the location, just in case!"

"Got it. I'll hang up first. I'll send it to you when we get there!"

After that, Zhu Suosuo hung up the phone. Fan Jingang pondered for a moment and reminded him, "Suosuo, when you come out with me this time, talk less, watch more and listen more, and be smart when you get there!"

After all, this was Zhu Suosuo's first time on a business trip to deal with such an emergency, and Han Tao's reminder inevitably made her a little nervous and asked:

"Is that really an exaggeration, Secretary Fan? Aren't we here just to renegotiate the price?"

"How can there be so many bad guys? I guess you've never been on a business trip before. Mr. Han is a little worried."

As Fan Jingang spoke, he walked out of the station exit with Zhu Suosuo and said with a smile: "It was just speculation before, so let's focus on our work.

I think Old Ye wants you to go to the marketing department first to familiarize yourself with it, so I asked you to come with me this time to learn more about it. You should be aware of this and work hard!"

Zhu Suosuo nodded, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Secretary Fan, what are the difficulties in our negotiation this time?"

"The difficulty is that we don't know the background of the other company, and some of them are targeting us. This is why President Han was worried just now.

But business is all about profit. As long as the money is discussed and it's not outrageous, we can still make concessions. Relatively speaking, it's always easier to deal with than other problems!"

As soon as Fan Jingang finished speaking, a silver-white commercial vehicle stopped in front of the two of them, and a driver got out and asked:

"Excuse me, are you Secretary Fan?"

Fan Jingang nodded and replied, "Yes, I am Fan Jingang, and she is my assistant!"

"Hello, Secretary Fan, my name is Xiao Song. I'm sent by Party A to borrow your car. Please get in!"

"Okay, thank you for your hard work!"

Seeing that Xiao Song had a good attitude and helped them with the boxes and opened the car door, and his service was very thoughtful, Fan Jingang felt relieved.

There was no conversation along the way. Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a rough building that had no doors or windows installed yet, and then several people got out.

Seeing this environment, Fan Jingang asked in confusion: "Xiao Song, are you sure? The other party wants to talk here?"

The driver, Xiao Song, nodded and led them inside. "Yes, this is what Boss Wang told me to do. He told me to pick you up and bring you directly here!"

At this moment, Zhu Suosuo thought of Han Tao's words, and a sense of crisis began to flash, and she couldn't help but mutter:

"Why would anyone choose to hold a meeting in a place like this? It's weird, isn't it? Don't you think so, Secretary Fan?"

Hearing this, Fan Jingang nodded and whispered, "It seems there's something fishy going on. Be careful and follow my lead!"

Zhu Suosuo nodded and began to ask, "Xiao Song, where is this boss from? Do local people like to open places like this when doing business? Have they arrived yet?"

"This Boss Wang isn't a local, he's from Shanghai. As for why he's doing business here, I'm not sure!"

Xiao Song pointed to the stairs above and not far away and said, "We're here. Boss Wang is waiting for you up there!"

Hearing that this Boss Wang came from Shanghai, Fan Jingang pulled Xiao Song aside and asked, "Xiao Song, does this Boss Wang have difficulty walking? He's in his fifties and uses a wheelchair, yet he always wears a pair of cloth shoes."

Hearing this, Xiao Song was surprised and said, "Yes, Secretary Fan, do you know him?"

"Well, we're old friends!"

Fan Jingang nodded, looked at the several bodyguards in suits standing at the entrance of the corridor, and instructed Zhu Suosuo:

"Suosuo, go buy me some medicine for my headache. Don't buy the wrong one!"

Zhu Suosuo, who was in a state of high tension, heard Fan Jingang's sudden words and asked without reacting:

"Secretary Fan, why are you suddenly feeling unwell? Are you okay? Do you need to go to the hospital?"

Xiao Song also looked at Fan Jingang in confusion and took the initiative to say, "Secretary Fan, how about I go? I have a car so it's more convenient."

"No need. When I entered the hospital just now, I saw a pharmacy right at the door. Suosuo knows where to buy it!"

After saying that, Fan Jingang turned to look at Zhu Suosuo and gave her a subtle look. Zhu Suosuo had already reacted by now, and she nodded and turned to walk towards the gate of the compound.

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

Chapter 501 Zhu Suosuo was detained

After leaving the gate, Zhu Suosuo immediately called Ye Jinyan to explain the situation. Ye Jinyan realized that the other party had ill intentions, so he told her to listen to Fan Jingang and not go up again.

Zhu Suosuo expressed her concerns, but Ye Jinyan felt that Fan Jingang had followed him for so many years and should be able to solve the problem, so he asked her to go to the hotel and wait again, and he would call Fan Jingang.

But after the two hung up the phone, Zhu Suosuo was still a little worried about Fan Jingang, so she sent a location to Han Tao. After receiving the reply, she operated herself on the phone, turned around and ran back.

At this time, Fan Jingang had already reached the upstairs. Looking at the gentle-looking middle-aged man sitting in a wheelchair in front of him, he said, "Wang Feiyu, it really is you!"
