Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

After hearing Zhong Xiaoqin's analysis, Wang Manni nodded: "If it really doesn't work, let's ask her tomorrow. If there is really a problem, we can help her."

After that, Wang Manni looked at Han Tao and said in a coquettish tone: "You heard what we just said. Gu Jia and we have no friends or connections here. Can you help her?"

"Yes, yes, you are so capable, and you used to be a partner of Quan Jing Law Firm. You must have a way. If you can help Gu Gu, I promise you one thing, anything!"

"Anything is fine? I won't hesitate!"

"Hey, let me go, why are you doing this again? Aren't you tired? You're just like an animal!"

"Well, you dare to say that to me? I'll punish you according to my family rules!"

"Manny, help me, help me..."

Chapter 535

After Han Tao finished chatting with Li Weizhen, he took a taxi back to the hotel. At this time, Li Na actually used the kitchen of the suite to cook several dishes. Although there was nothing special, home-cooked meals are often the most heartwarming.

After Han Tao washed his hands and sat down, Lina had already poured the wine and said gently, "You've been tired all day, come and try my cooking. I originally asked Lucky to come with us, but she said it was her first time in Kyoto, so she ran out to play."

"No need to clip it for me, I can do it myself!"

Han Tao looked at Lina, who was wearing home clothes, and picked up some food for himself first. He also explained why He Xingyun was not there, and said with a smile:

"She finally came here, let her go wild. It's not good to keep her restrained all the time."

"Yeah, after all, she's just a little girl in her twenties."

Lina nodded, raised her glass and clinked it with Han Tao's, then continued, "By the way, did the talk go well? What did my dad say?"

"I've reached a consensus with my uncle. He doesn't want to go to a nursing home, but instead wants to help you look after the house. If you're worried about him being alone, you can find a nanny."

Hearing Han Tao's words, Li Na shook her head and said, "There's nothing to worry about. This outcome is fine. I don't know if I can return to Kyoto anyway. If he wants to stay, then let him stay. This will prevent this matter from becoming a big deal. I don't want to cause trouble for Quan Jing and Luo Bin before I leave."

Han Tao responded while eating, "That's settled then. When he's older, we can find a nursing home in Shanghai and fulfill our obligation to support him.

We can't choose whether to come into this world, but we must take control of our own destiny. We just need to do everything with a clear conscience. After all, no one is perfect! "

"Thank you!"

Lina thanked him, stretched out her hand and placed it on the back of Han Tao's hand, tightly holding it. After a long time, she asked:

"I know you want me to go to the Magic City to help you, it's not just my ability. Can you be honest and tell me when you became interested in me?"

Hearing this, Han Tao picked up the wine glass with his right hand, drank it all in one gulp, and said, "I said this is our first meeting, do you believe me?"

"I don't believe it. How could it be the first time we met? After all, you didn't know what kind of person I was at that time."

Seeing that Lina didn't believe him, Han Tao smiled and teased her, "My sister Lina, you don't have to know someone well to like them. Appearance is also very important. Don't you, an all-round secretary, know this?"

In Han Tao's eyes, Lina is definitely a 100% perfect secretary. She knows her boss Luo Bin's preferences very well, is flawless at work, and can help Luo Bin and even Jose solve their problems in life. Her IQ and EQ are as high as her appearance. She has dozens of dresses, and no two dresses are the same every day, which is really pleasing to the eye.

Understanding Han Tao's intention, Li Na patted the back of his hand and said unhappily, "I knew you were a big idiot. You're so self-righteous when you're tempted by beauty."

"Why not be so confident? All liking and so-called love at first sight begins with lust. The pursuit of beautiful things is human nature, regardless of gender."

As he spoke, Han Tao grabbed Lina's wrist with his backhand and continued calmly, "For example, Jose likes you very much, but will you like him?

Only after mutual attraction will one be willing to get to know someone in depth, and whether one is conquered by his or her personal charm, or impressed by his or her financial situation, character, ability, family background, or other favorable conditions for future and life, there must be a willingness to make contact.

"Bah, you're such a smooth talker! I know I can't win against you, so I'm going to ignore you. Clean up yourself, I'm going to take a shower!"

Lina rolled her eyes at Han Tao and got up to leave without waiting for his response. Then the sound of running water could be heard from the bathroom in the second bedroom of the suite.

Just then, Han Tao's phone rang. It turned out to be Gu Jia asking him when he could come over and thanking him for arranging the lawyer. The two cases involving the tea factory had already begun to be handled.

Han Tao said that it would take a few more days because the case here was not over yet, so he asked Gu Jia to calm down, thoroughly understand the problems existing in the tea factory, and come up with a plan and report.

Afterwards, Gu Jia asked again about the things she had asked Han Tao to investigate before. As things had settled down over the past few days, she thought about the emotional crisis again. Han Tao said he would send it to her later, and then the two hung up the phone.

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

At the same time, Lin Youyou had already resigned from Beijing Paradise, then sent a text message to Xu Huanshan and flew directly to Shanghai.

Xu Huanshan, who was working overtime, saw the message right after the meeting. He was drinking coffee at the time and excitedly sprayed coffee all over the table. However, it was too late to change it. He could only explain to the people in the company and then left in a hurry.

In the elevator, he added Lin Youyou's WeChat again. When Xu Huanshan saw Lin Youyou, who was dragging her suitcase and smiling sweetly, not far from the company building, he couldn't help but step forward and ask:

"Why are you here suddenly? What if I'm not on a business trip in the Magic City?"

Lin Youyou smiled and said, "Then I'll wait for you. Anyway, I miss you, and I've resigned, so I have plenty of time."

Hearing this, Xu Huanshan looked at her in surprise and asked seriously, "Why did you resign? Don't you like working at the amusement park the most? And you told me that you love fireworks the most. Why did you resign suddenly?"

"Compared to those, I like you more, so I came here, but I won't rely on you. I came here today to tell you that I will find a job by myself, so you go ahead and do your work!"

Hearing Lin Youyou's answer, Xu Huanshan's face turned grim. He pulled her towards a place not far away and said:

"Nonsense, I've already bought your plane ticket, and it's first class. I'll take you to the airport now."

Seeing Xu Huanshan trying to drive her back, Lin Youyou struggled to break free and cried, "I won't leave. I know what I'm doing. Please don't drive me away. Please.

I'm not here to act pitiful and ask for sympathy. I know I have a thousand reasons not to be here. My family, friends and work are not here, and you shouldn't have me in your life, but I can't control myself. To me, all of these are not as important as you.

You are like the fireworks above the castle in Paradise that day. Others just see it as a lively spectacle, a passing cloud, but not in my heart. Once I see it, I can never forget it.

I was prepared before I came here. I knew you would scold me and might not see me, but I was satisfied at the thought of living in the same city with the man I love.

At least it gives me a little more anticipation. Maybe I'll run into him or her on the street someday. That would be happiness, wouldn't it? "

Looking at the pitiful Lin Youyou, Xu Huanshan couldn't help but feel distressed, so he patiently advised:

"I know how you feel, but I already have a family and children. You are a good girl, so please don't be so stubborn.

You said the amusement park was your first job, how long did you work there before you quit? And how much money do you have on you to stay in a hotel in Shanghai?"

"I can find a place to live and I can find a job to support myself. Please let me stay. I've already resigned and there's no job for me if I go back!"

Seeing that he was soft-hearted, Lin Youyou hugged Xu Huanshan's arm and begged with tears in her eyes.

Chapter 536

The next day, the sun was shining brightly. Lina printed out a document and handed it to Han Tao. Then she adjusted the interface of her phone and handed it to him. She said:

"Jose called me this morning and said that Haohan Chaoyue's legal department had communicated with him, but their boss was not aware of this matter, so they had to contact Sun Chaoyue.

So I checked with a friend and found out that Sun Chaoyue isn't going to the company this morning, and he plays tennis every week on this day. How about you go over there?"

"Alright, I just happen to be planning to contact them ahead of time. Some things are safer to plan ahead of time, so let's go meet him!"

Han Tao nodded in agreement to the proposal and decided to meet with Sun Chaoyue in advance.

Seeing that the two people reached a consensus, He Xingyun, who was organizing documents on the sofa, got up and followed. She drove Lina's car and took Han Tao and the others to the tennis court where Sun Haohan was.

After getting off the car and entering the tennis hall, Han Tao and Lina changed their clothes and went on the court. Only then did Han Tao realize that Lina played quite well.

After the two played for a while, Han Tao found an opportunity to hit the ball to Sun Chaoyue, then walked over and said:

"I hit it off target, sorry!"

Han Tao raised his hand to signal the other party while bending down to pick up the ball. Lina followed him and said in surprise:

"Hey, hello, are you Mr. Sun Chaoyue?"

"Hello, do we know each other?"

Seeing a handsome man and beautiful woman coming over and saying their names, Sun Chaoyue thought they were just meeting once in a salon or cocktail party, so he asked.

Lina shook her head and pointed at Han Tao and said, "Hello, Mr. Sun, we didn't know each other before, but your company has cooperated with our boss before."

Hearing this, Sun Chaoyue asked curiously, "We've worked together before, so how come we don't know each other?"

Han Tao calmly pressed the recorder in his pocket, then took over the conversation and guided Sun Chaoyue's words:

"Mr. Sun, let's formally introduce ourselves. I'm from Shanghai and am the chief attorney at Mingtang Law Firm. I've handled cases for your company before, so we have worked together. However, Mr. Sun and I have never met, so you don't recognize us."

Hearing him mention Mingtang instead of Quan Jing, Sun Chaoyue didn't react for a moment, but he smiled politely and said:

"I'm so sorry, maybe the Shanghai branch has a cooperation with you.

However, as the president, I do keep an eye on the bigger cases. Our company has had quite a few cases in recent years. Could you please tell me about the one you took on?"

Han Tao smiled faintly and said, "It's okay. This time we're collaborating with your Kyoto headquarters. It's the 16.5 million yuan refund-three-for-one car case. I wonder if Mr. Sun has any recollection of it?"

"Of course I have an impression!"

Sun Chaoyue's identity was unknown, so he couldn't lie with his eyes wide open, so he nodded and said, "Speaking of this case, I have to thank you very much. I also know who you are, Lawyer Han Tao, right?"

Hearing this, Han Tao politely shook hands with him and nodded, "It's me, but Mr. Sun, don't rush to thank me yet. Your company hasn't paid the 16.5 million lawyer's fees yet.

Since Mr. Sun knows about this, what do you think, should we ask your company's finance department to transfer the money to the law firm?

Of course, this case is jointly represented by me and Attorney Jose from Quanjing Law Firm. To avoid causing trouble for your company, you can just transfer the money directly to the Quanjing Law Firm account."

"I'm sorry, Lawyer Han, I really can't help you with this. The contract was signed between you and the chairman's wife. You should ask her for it."

Sun Chaoyue is a very capable person. After hearing Han Tao's words, he knew that today was not a chance encounter, and he also understood that the other party was here to collect debts, so he immediately pushed it off.

Han Tao looked at him meaningfully, smiled slightly and said, "What do you mean, Mr. Sun? Can't the chairman's wife represent the Haohan Chaoyue Group?"

Sun Chaoyue said without hesitation: "Of course, the chairman is in a coma now, so the chairman's wife cannot be entrusted. Moreover, she is not a shareholder of the company, so of course she cannot represent Haohan Chaoyue."

"Mr. Sun, what you said is biased. As far as I know, Ms. Lan Hong is still the legal director of Haohan Chaoyue Group. She is also the chairman's wife, so some of her actions can represent your company.

The contract she signed with our law firm is also valid. After all, legal affairs professionals are those who are responsible for handling legal affairs within legal and unincorporated organizations such as enterprises, institutions, and government departments. The contracts they sign on behalf of the company are legally binding.

Sun Chaoyue spread his hands and said, "That requires the chairman's approval. Otherwise, she can only represent herself. My brother is so sick that he doesn't even know who he is. Therefore, all of Lan Hong's actions are personal."

"Excuse me, Mr. Sun, for interrupting you. In addition to Ms. Lan Hong, your chairman also signed and authorized this contract."

"It seems that Lawyer Han was deceived. The chairman's wife asked him to sign this contract when he was seriously ill, so it has no legal effect. If you have any questions, please go to her!"

"So, your company, that is, the chairman of the Haohan Chaoyue Group, had already lost consciousness when we took over the case, so your company refused to pay, right?"

"That's right, that's it. So please do as you please. Even as the CEO, I can't help you!"

Hearing Sun Chaoyue nod, Han Tao did not continue to argue, because he had already got what he wanted, so he nodded:

"Okay, it seems I still need to find Ms. Lan Hong to understand the situation, so I won't bother Mr. Sun anymore."

After saying that, Han Tao left with Lina without looking back. Sun Chaoyue wanted to put all the blame on her husband, which happened to be what Han Tao wanted, and he got strong evidence naturally.

When the two returned to the car, Lina asked curiously, "Why don't I understand what you mean? Are we really leaving? Shouldn't we fight for it?"

"You'll understand later!"

Han Tao kept it a secret for a moment, then continued, "Actually, if you think about it carefully, you'll understand without me having to tell you. The most important thing now is that you help me make an appointment with Lan Hong. I'll go meet her."

"Forget it. I've already made an appointment for you with Lan Hong. It's at three o'clock this afternoon. Now go back to the law firm. I need to go through the final resignation procedures."

Lina rolled her eyes at Han Tao. Although she didn't see through him at first, she anticipated that this matter was not simple and Lan Hong, the person involved, could not get around it, so she had already made all the arrangements for Han Tao.

However, Lina's performance made He Xingyun, who was driving in front, admire her very much. No wonder Teacher Han came here in person. She is simply the ceiling of the secretary world. She is beautiful and charming, dignified and generous, and smart and considerate. She can think of everything in advance. In the old Beijing dialect she just learned, she is so thoughtful.

After a moment of silence in the back row, Han Tao looked at Lina and continued, "Don't forget to transfer money to your bestie to apply for a credit card, and then help me arrange for 36 private lessons."

Li Na looked at Han Tao in confusion and said, "Apply for a card? Aren't you going back to Shanghai in a few days? Why would you apply for a card? Isn't that a waste of hundreds of thousands of dollars?"

Han Tao explained, "People take risks to help us, so we should return the favor. And since she's your friend, we should support her even more. After all, we obtained important information with her help."

Hearing this, Li Na knew that Han Tao was thinking about her, so she didn't refuse. However, she still asked in confusion, "Why didn't I notice? Did you get any important information?"

Han Tao smiled slightly and said, "Didn't Sun Chaoyue just say that Lan Hong's husband is seriously ill? I think he's in serious trouble."

"It seems so. He said his brother's has already..."

Before Lina finished speaking, she was filled with emotion. He was a big boss worth tens of billions, but he was hospitalized because of a case and was now on the verge of death. It was said that the disease would not affect your identity.

Chapter 537

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. In a village deep in the mountains of Hunan, after Xu Huanshan finished talking to his friend, he came to the room where Gu Jia was.

At this time, the lights in the house were still on. He walked in and asked, "Wife, what do you think?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. Deep down, I really don't want to give up, and it's not like there's no chance of turning things around, but it's too difficult to turn this game around, and the risks involved are too great. Our family has worked so hard to get to this point, and I'm really conflicted."

As she spoke, Gu Jia's eyes turned red and tears welled up in her eyes. This was the first time she cried in many years, which was completely different from her previous strong attitude.
