Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

"Keep it a secret, you'll know when the time comes!"

Xu Huanshan kept her in suspense, then smiled mysteriously, not looking at her anymore, opened the lunch box and started eating.

"What a mysterious gift!"

Lin Youyou ate in small bites while watching Xu Huanshan eating his lunch box in big mouthfuls. Her heart was full of anticipation, and she wished it would be dark right now so that she could find out what the gift was.

At the Park Hyatt Hotel, Wang Manni, Gu Jia, and Zhong Xiaoqin had just finished their meal, and the three of them were planning to take Xu Ziyan to play Kart Rider and Cartoon Park.

But when passing by the Ocean Park, Wang Manni and Zhong Xiaoqin both wanted to go in and play for a while. Finally, the three of them agreed to meet in the evening. Then Gu Jia took Xu Ziyan to play with cars, and Wang Manni took Zhong Xiaoqin to the Ocean Park.

Looking at her best friend who was behaving like a little girl, Gu Jia couldn't help but shook her head, then took Xu Ziyan's hand and said:

"Come on, son. Mommy will take you to play kids' racing."

"Okay, I love you the most, mom. You're the only one who accompanies me. Dad and godmother don't play with me!"

"Baby, Daddy is at work. It's not that I won't play with you. We can see Daddy tonight, and he'll set off big fireworks. Do you like the fireworks Daddy makes?"

Hearing his mother's words, Xu Ziyan nodded and said happily: "I like it. I like the fireworks that dad sets off the most!"

"Well, let's go play. It's not like Godmother doesn't want to accompany Ziyan. Godmother has been sick and unhappy recently, so the pretty aunt took her out to play. How about we invite them to watch the fireworks together in the evening?"

"Okay, godmother and beautiful aunt also promised to buy me delicious ice cream, mom, don't forget to remind them."

"Don't worry, Godmother and Pretty Auntie won't forget what they promised Ziyan, but you have to promise Mom that you can only eat half, otherwise you'll have a stomachache!"

"Okay, got it, Mom. Let's go race the cars!"

"Okay, go now!"

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

At the same time, Lina called Lan Hong. After they chatted for a few sentences, she told her that Han Tao had arrived in Beijing.

Lan Hong had been reminded before that because of the loss in the second trial, the company's reputation and image had suffered a great blow, and her husband's condition had worsened, so when she received the notice, she quickly agreed to meet at the agreed teahouse.

After hanging up the phone, Lina and Han Tao left the restaurant and took their intern assistant He Xingyun who had rushed over. The three of them drove all the way to the agreed location. Lan Hong also arrived shortly afterwards. After nodding slightly, they walked into the private room.

After entering the room, Li Na formally introduced: "This is Lawyer Han Taohan, Quan Jing's former senior partner, and now the director of Modu Mingtang Law Firm.

Luo Bin understands your situation, so he introduced Lawyer Han to you. Since he agreed to take your case, it means that Lawyer Han is very confident. Let's discuss the details.

After that, Lina took He Xingyun to sit aside and turned on the recording device, which is a basic operation for lawyers to meet with clients.

Han Tao gestured with his hand, "Please take a seat, and then state your demands!"

"Thank you!"

Lan Hong nodded in thanks. She was also a lawyer and currently the legal officer of her husband's company. She was very familiar with the process, so she said directly:

"I've heard of Lawyer Han for a long time, but I've never had the chance to meet him. Since we're all acquaintances at Luo Bin's place, I just told him the truth.

We lost both the first and second trials, and our company was ordered to pay 1650 million yuan in compensation. However, we have appealed because this is not a matter of money, but a matter of reputation. We cannot be labeled as an illegal business, so we must win the final trial."

"I see. Now that I have a rough idea of ​​what this will cost, let's talk about the attorney's fees!"

"Lawyer Han means to take this case. Are you sure you don't need to find out more?"

Lan Hong was stunned. She had hired many lawyers and lost the first and second trials. She placed all her hopes on Luo Bin, but Luo Bin refused and introduced Han Tao to her. Now all her hopes were placed on Han Tao.

Knowing her worries, Han Tao smiled faintly and said calmly, "Don't worry, Ms. Lan. Luo Lu and Quan Jing's people all know that my winning rate is 100%. I will do my best if I take this case.

You were once a partner lawyer at Quan Jing, so you have your own network of contacts. You can also ask about what I said, including what kind of companies I worked with after I moved to Shanghai. You can also learn more about them."

"After winning the case, the 1650 million yuan awarded in the second instance will be the legal fees. We will also cooperate with Mingtang and invite you to serve as the company's chief legal counsel."

“I have no objection to the attorney’s fees, but forget about the chief legal advisor. You can cooperate with Quan Jing. After all, your head office is here, which is more convenient. Moreover, Quan Jing is one of the best residences in Beijing. You should know it and it is trustworthy.

However, I still want to thank you for your trust. If your company's branches and subsidiaries in Shanghai, your own companies and partners need anything, Mingtang is always welcome to help! "

After that, Han Tao turned to look at He Xingyun and instructed, "Take out the prepared agency contract and let Ms. Lan Hong take a look. If there is no problem, sign it directly."

Seeing Han Tao's decisiveness, Lan Hong quickly asked, "There's no rush for the contract. I think Lawyer Han should first share his thoughts on the case. This is our company's only chance!"

"I'll tell you after we sign the agreement. This is all for Lawyer Luo's sake. You've already taken the case to the High Court and consulted countless people and law firms. I don't need to tell you the result.

But since I'm still taking this case under these circumstances, I have a certain degree of confidence in winning, and you don't have a choice now, right?"

"Han Lu, I know you're a graduate of Han University and you have a wide network of contacts in Beijing, but are you really sure this time?"

Although she understood some of the situation, Lan Hong was still very conflicted and worried. If she signed the contract, she would not have the option to change lawyers. But she was still worried because the case had already reached the High Court.

Han Tao didn't rush her. He waited for a long moment before responding, "Well, I'm absolutely confident, but I can't promise you a 100% victory. You're a lawyer, so you should understand that."

"Okay, I believe Lawyer Han!"

Within a few minutes, Lan Hong had made up her mind. After reading the agreement, she signed her name with a flourish and said, "Han Lu, can I speak now?"

"You lost both the first and second trials because you were found guilty of fraud. All you need to do is find evidence to prove it wasn't fraud. As for replacing the curtains and repainting, it didn't affect safety, and it was reported through the same channel, so it can't be considered fraud at all."

"I understand. I'll leave this matter to you then. Happy cooperation!"

Lan Hong followed Han Tao's idea and thought of the feasibility, and Han Tao should have already had a solution.

Han Tao's senior is a legal expert on the expert committee of the Automobile Circulation Association. He has the ability to get the expert committee to produce proof that the company's actions do not constitute fraud, and therefore fully recognizes Han Tao's ability.

Looking at the other party's outstretched hand, Han Tao gently shook it and let go, saying, "It's a pleasure to work with you. I'll see Ms. Lan off!"

"Han Lu, please stay. I'm waiting for your good news!"

Lan Hong raised her hand slightly to stop Han Tao, then stood up and left with satisfaction, but Han Tao still asked He Xingyun to see her off for him.

Afterwards, Han Tao sorted out the information and prepared to meet a senior brother. Every new car will undergo PDI testing before being sold, and each 4S store has its own release platform.

These are all channels for checking information, so there is no such thing as concealing the truth. In fact, the case of refunding one and compensating three is not that difficult. As long as you grasp the key points and get the proof, it will be fine.

………………

Chapter 530 Thunderstorm

As night fell, in a room at the Park Hyatt Hotel, He Xingyun took out Han Tao's suitcase and checked and prepared materials for the court hearing of the car case the day after tomorrow.

Han Tao has agreed to take her to court. Although he is only an assistant lawyer, she is already very happy to be able to go to court.

The Beijing Amusement Park was already brightly lit. Because it was the weekend, there were a lot of people. Compared with the daytime, there were actually many more people visiting, and exciting activities were one after another.

There will also be a parade of cartoon characters, including cute teddy bears, adorable giant pandas, Mickey Mouse, Snow White, floats, etc. It is really a feast for the eyes.

Gu Jia was buying cotton candy for Xu Ziyan. The little guy was very happy. He jumped up and down while watching the cartoon characters while waiting. Han Tao stood by with Zhong Xiaoqin and Wang Manni to watch over them.

Seeing that Xu Ziyan was too small and worried that he would be trampled by the crowd, Han Tao looked at the crowd and directly carried him on his shoulders. This made the little guy very happy and he cheered excitedly.

Gu Jia, who had just bought some marshmallows, felt a little embarrassed, but when she saw Xu Ziyan's happiness, her eyes were full of maternal love, and she unconsciously exuded a maternal glow, making many passers-by salivate.

Zhong Xiaoqin even held Gu Jia and Wang Manni's hands and said happily like a child, "Gu Gu, Manni, look, it's really lively here.

And over there, there are so many cartoon characters, the scale is no less than that of Disney, don’t forget to take a few more photos for me later.”

"Okay, I'll definitely take more pictures of you, and they have to be beautiful ones!"

Glancing at Zhong Xiaoqin, who looked like a child, Wang Manni nodded in agreement and then looked at Gu Jia and asked, "Gu Jia, when does your designer Xu's fireworks show start?

Honestly, I can't wait. It's so beautiful here today. If there were gorgeous fireworks blooming in the night sky, it would be even more beautiful, just like a fairy tale world! "

Hearing this, Gu Jia straightened her hair and said with a smile: "Manny, don't worry. I guess after this wave of fast travel is over, the fireworks show at Huanshan will start. We can go there and wait. The view there is wider."

"Okay, let's go wait there. There's a gentle slope over there with a wider view. It's the perfect spot to watch the fireworks!"

Wang Manni nodded, and pulled Gu Jia and Zhong Xiaoqin over there. Gu Jia was pulled by them, so she could only follow them and let Han Tao take care of her son.

Seeing that his mother, godmother, and beautiful aunt ignored him, Xu Ziyan pouted. Han Tao could only distract him and said:

"Zi Yan, I heard from your mother that you went to drive a traffic jam this afternoon. Was it fun?"

Xu Ziyan glanced at Han Tao. Because his mother and godmother had told him to listen to his uncle, Xu Ziyan didn't cry or make a fuss. He nodded and said,

"Well, my mom and I played racing today. It was so much fun. Then we went to the aquarium with my godmother and the pretty aunt. There were so many beautiful fish there. It was really nice to see."

Hearing Xu Ziyan's babyish answer, Han Tao patted her little head and said with a smile:

"Since Ziyan had a lot of fun this afternoon, you should be happy!

You see, because mommy was accompanying you, she didn't get to play at all. It's so pitiful. You little man, you should be happy. Then mommy will be happy too, okay?"

"understood!"

Seeing him nod, Han Tao specially rewarded him with a lollipop, and then continued: "Zi Yan is awesome, uncle will take you to ride the pirate ship and roller coaster later, okay?"

"it is good!"

Xu Ziyan nodded slightly, looked at the colorful lollipops, swallowed his saliva, and said greedily:

"But uncle, my mom won't let me eat candy. She says it hurts if I chew on my cavities!"

"It's okay. Kids all like to eat candy. Just say it's your uncle's candy. It's okay to have one occasionally. Just go back to the hotel and brush your teeth!"

Hearing Han Tao say this, Xu Ziyan happily took the lollipop and politely thanked him: "Thank you, uncle!"

Seeing him happily eating candy, Han Tao smiled and stretched out his little finger, saying, "You're welcome, but you have to promise uncle that you'll brush your teeth when you get home. And let's make a pinky promise. The one who breaks his promise is a puppy!"

"Zi Yan will definitely brush his teeth. Let's make a promise and never change for a hundred years. Whoever changes will be a little dog!"

Xu Ziyan had a particularly good impression of Han Tao, so he happily made a pinky promise with him, then asked with a happy smile:

"Uncle, my mother, godmother, and beautiful auntie won't play with me. Can you play with me?"

"Okay, uncle will accompany you."

Han Tao touched Xu Ziyan's head again, then took him, followed by Gu Jia and the other two, and walked to a place not far away.

Hearing the laughter behind her, Gu Jia turned around and saw Xu Ziyan happily eating a lollipop in Han Tao's arms. She smiled and said:

"Zi Yan, didn't you promise Mom that you wouldn't eat candy at night?"

"Mom, uncle said that children love to eat candy, as long as I go back and brush my teeth, I will be fine. Please let me have one, Mom. I promise to eat only one and brush my teeth when I get home!"

"Well... okay, but promise Mom you'll only eat one, and you'll have to brush your teeth when you get home, otherwise cavities will bite them!"

After saying that, Gu Jia saw that her son agreed, nodded helplessly, then rolled her eyes at Han Tao and said:

"Don't give Ziyan candy next time. You'll spoil him and it will be hard to control him in the future."

"Don't be too strict with children, and don't always impose your will on others. What you think is good and right may not necessarily be suitable, including for your Lao Xu. Otherwise, it will backfire."

Han Tao reminded Gu Jia subtly, although in everyone's eyes she was a perfect mother, a perfect wife, and a perfect business partner.

Moreover, their friends around them also envy Xu Huanshan very much, but only Xu Huanshan himself knows that his wife Gu Jia controls him too strictly. He cannot do this or that, and he cannot even eat dinner. He is not allowed to play his biggest hobby, football.

So he could only suppress the throbbing in his heart tightly, but the more he suppressed it, the more intense the outburst became.

Xu Huanshan met new people and things here, and naturally wanted to break through himself, so he was attracted by the youthful Lin Youyou.

Han Tao's words made Gu Jia think, but before she could respond, a firework shot up into the sky and exploded in the night sky, followed by more fireworks, which looked like a cluster of colorful flowers.

The beautiful fireworks stunned Wang Man and Zhong Xiaoqin. Even Gu Jia, who often saw them, liked them very much. No matter how old you are, you will unconsciously like such beautiful things.

Han Tao watched the fireworks display rise up continuously and said with a smile, "Old Xu's fireworks designs are getting better and better. This blue dream has also improved and is much more lively and vivid. It seems that he has a new inspiration!"

Hearing Han Tao's praise, Gu Jia, as Xu Huanshan's wife, was naturally happy. She smiled and said:

"Thank you, Attorney Han, for the compliment. The design of Fantasy Mountain is indeed getting better and better. This performance is a breakthrough. It looks much better than before."

"Wow, Dad is so amazing. Mom, look at the little fish. There are so many little fish in the sky, and there are also jellyfish. I like the fireworks Dad made!"

Seeing Xu Ziyan cheering, Zhong Xiaoqin and Wang Manni came back to their senses and said, "Gu Gu, your Xu Huanshan is really amazing. The fireworks design is amazing.

When it’s your 30th birthday, have him prepare a firework show just like that. It’s so romantic just thinking about it. I envy you so much!”

"Yes, Gu Jia, this is definitely the most unforgettable fireworks show. It's a pity that Xiaoqin's birthday has passed. Otherwise, we could each have a fireworks show. Once in a lifetime would be enough. I just don't know how much this one will cost. It must be very expensive, right?"

Gu Jia glanced at Han Tao, then at her two best friends, and said with a smile, "This fireworks show costs at least three million, and even the cheapest ones cost hundreds of thousands. Our family definitely can't afford such a large scale. If it's a few tens of thousands, there's still a chance.

But Manni, your birthday is coming soon, let Han Tao prepare a large one for you. He has plenty of money, and Xiaoqin can help out too!

He knew that the Gu family was talking to him. After all, when Dongli opened, Han Tao organized a fireworks show for Zhu Suosuo and Jiang Nansun, and it cost a lot of money just to get the permission to set off the fireworks.

Thinking of this, Han Tao glanced at Zhong Xiaoqin and Wang Manni, who were looking forward to it, and said with a smile:

"Okay, when Manny's birthday comes, I'll prepare the best fireworks show for each of you.

I'm also going to ask Lao Xu to customize it and add your names to the fireworks. I want everyone who sees them to envy you."

As soon as Han Tao finished speaking, another round of fireworks took off into the sky, bringing the fireworks show to a climax. After one of the fireworks bloomed, two huge UU characters appeared among the colorful flowers.

Looking at the dazzling fireworks and the dark blue characters, Han Tao's lips curled up into a smile. Speak of the devil, Xu Huanshan is indeed an artist in playing with fireworks. As expected, he used the park's fireworks show to give Lin You a surprise without spending a penny.
