Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

But your guess is correct. I heard from Sun Chaoyue that Sun Haohan's health is not optimistic. I guess we will have to cooperate again soon, and it will be a major case involving tens of billions of funds!"

"By cooperation, you mean blue and red?"

Jose looked at Han Tao in surprise and asked in confusion: "But why do you want to cooperate with me? You have handled many cases of family property division before. There is no need to let others share the pie!"

Han Tao shook his head and said, "You understand my situation and why I left at that time. It would be too conspicuous for me to handle it alone. Besides, this is an extension of the previous case, so of course I have to go with Lawyer He!"

"Okay, I understand what you mean. But no matter what, I'll remember this favor. It's helpful to me for such a big case. It's a pleasure to work with you. If there's anything I can help with in the future, I'll do my best to help you!"

Jose was very happy. This kind of case attracted a lot of attention and was very helpful in increasing his fame. So Han Tao was willing to cooperate with him. He was grateful and happy from the bottom of his heart.

Han Tao smiled slightly. With Jose's involvement, he had a lot of room for maneuver. He didn't understand the handling of this case in the original plot because it was too frivolous.

In the original drama, the parties involved and lawyers in this billion-dollar case were all busy "falling in love" and had no time to fight the lawsuit. Only Sun Chaoyue was trying hard to fight for his brother's inheritance.

Moreover, such an important case was not resolved by litigation. Instead, when Lan Hong was sure to win, Luo Bin intervened and proposed to divide the cake. In the end, the inheritance was divided equally into 4 parts, forcing a happy ending.

You know, this is not a small amount of money. If you help Lan Hong win the lawsuit, Lan Hong can directly get a legacy of tens of billions.

In Han Tao's opinion, materialism is not an unforgivable sin. Lan Hong has sacrificed ten years of her youth, and this is also the price to pay. Even if this company was built by their brothers and their previous sister-in-law, Lan Hong and her children should not have no inheritance.

Sun Chaoyue wanted to take advantage of his brother's death to kick Lan Hong and her widowed mother out of the house. No one would be able to bear this.

Therefore, regardless of whether Lan Hong is a gold digger or not, with such a large sum of money and almost being forced to inherit nothing, why would she let it go so easily?

So it is hard not to doubt that the reason for this in the original plot is to whitewash Lan Hong's character and make her noble.

The reason why Lan Hong and Luo Bin broke up was that her name was not on the property title, so she married a rich man in a fit of anger. She is obviously a materialistic woman.

Although she said it was because of disappointment, why would a disappointed person choose to get married to a rich man?

She had been forced into a desperate situation and even had her house taken back. In the end, she was willing to split the inheritance equally with Sun Chaoyue. To Han Tao, this was as absurd as children playing house.

You know, this is a division of a legacy worth tens of billions. Not to mention fighting it out to the point of bloodshed, it is impossible to let go so easily. If lawyers are so sentimental, how can they handle the case rationally?

Any lawyer facing this kind of case must give his all and be extremely rigorous, and it is impossible to mix in romantic matters.

After pondering for a long time, Han Tao broke the silence in the car, picked up his mobile phone and called Lina in the car behind, asking her to cooperate with Jose to investigate all the unfinished cases, disputes and detailed information of the Haohan Chaoyue Group, and compile a case file.

In the back car, He Xingyun, who was driving, was very excited when she heard the news. She knew that Han Tao was going to make another big move. It seemed that the two of them would not be able to return to the Magic City in a short time. It was estimated that they would have to wait until the trial of Lian Chuang's case, so that she could also learn more.

After hanging up the phone, Han Tao asked Jose to investigate the current share distribution of Haohan Chaoyue, recent equity changes, etc. He himself was not idle either, he had to do something personally.

Han Tao then called a person in charge of short videos. After a period of unlimited promotion, this app has become the leader.

Because of the huge amount of money, it can be said that other short video platforms are powerless to resist. When money is flowing, all difficulties are solved.

This made Han Tao very pleased. After all, with the experience of his previous life, he basically didn't have to take any detours. He could just copy everything and improve it, adding a lot of fun. It was like acquiring two game companies and setting up a dedicated R&D department.

With all these efforts, the number of users and their stickiness are steadily increasing. The longer the app is online, the more we can see its future.

To this end, Han Tao and Tan Zongming both added funds, and Ye Jinyan and his elder brother He Han also started investing 300 million yuan.

Standing on the shoulders of his predecessors, Han Tao had a very accurate market positioning for this project, and with sufficient funds, it would be difficult for it not to succeed.

The reason why Han Tao called the person in charge of short videos was that there were some things in the Lanhong case that needed to be prepared in advance, and many things and public opinions required a fermentation period.

During this period, Han Tao also received messages from Wang Manni, Zhong Xiaoqin, and the Gu family. The former was to tip him off, and the latter was obviously in a bad mood and directly asked for Lin Youyou's detailed information.

This was what he had promised to investigate from her before, but later he was busy with the case and forgot to pass it to Gu Jia.

Now that he knew that Gu Jia already knew about Xu Huanshan's infidelity and that Lin Youyou had come to her house, he sent her a direct email.

Gu Jia, who was far away in the tea mountain, opened the information and checked it. Her knuckles turned white from holding the phone. The screen showed Lin Youyou's photo and related information. This person was the same person that Wang Manni saw.

In fact, Gu Jia was already mentally prepared. She had discovered that there was something wrong with Xu Huanshan before. Now because her best friend saw the evidence and took photos, she had to face it.

However, she did not behave hysterically, nor did she think of crying, making a fuss, or even committing suicide. The first thing she wanted to do was to find Lin Youyou. She suffered in the mountains just to ensure the safety of her family.

So she can't let others spend her money. In Gu Jia's view, no matter how many times Xu Huanshan and Lin Youyou have had dinner together and stayed in hotels together, every penny he spent on Lin Youyou is the common property of the couple.

It was for this reason that Gu Jia hesitated for a while and directly sent a message to Han Tao, asking Han Tao to help her collect evidence to be used as evidence in the divorce lawsuit, and told Han Tao that he didn't need to rush there, and Gu Jia had to go back to Shanghai to deal with this matter first.

After Han Tao replied to the message, he put the phone back in his pocket with a smile on his face. This business trip was quite fruitful. Not only did he take on two big cases, but he also got some unexpected surprises.

Among the three female protagonists in Nothing But Thirty, only Gu Jia has the certain ability to support a career. Moreover, compared with Wang Manni and Zhong Xiaoqin, Gu Jia, who has always been dominated by rational thinking, is more difficult to win over.

Chapter 551

Time flew by, and in a flash, three days had passed. After receiving a phone call, Lina hurriedly walked towards Han Tao who was lying on the sofa and said:

"Don't look at the information yet. I just got the news that Lan Hong's husband Sun Haohan has passed away!"

Hearing this, Han Tao put away the information, picked up his bag, and walked out. As he walked, he said to Lina:

"Call Jose and ask him to wait at Lan Hong's house, but tell him not to let Luo Bin know about this for now. At least he can't show up today."

Han Tao knew it best. After Lan Hong's husband Sun Haohan died, Luo Bin went to visit her as soon as he received the news. Lan Hong was already sad, but when she saw Luo Bin coming, she rushed up and hugged Luo Bin in front of everyone in the room.

Han Tao was puzzled by this behavior. Whether she was simply seeking spiritual support and comfort or for other reasons, it was inappropriate. After all, her late husband Sun Haohan's body was still warm, so she was just trying to make trouble for herself.

"I see. You're afraid that once Lan Hong sees Luo Bin act drastically, Sun Chaoyue will be in a weak position and public opinion will be one-sided."

Lina has a high EQ and is very sensitive to public opinion. She nodded in response and followed Han Tao to the elevator.

"I also found some information. According to what I heard, Sun Haohan transferred all his shares to Sun Chaoyue a few days ago."

"You're well-informed and helpful to our plan. You're truly Lina!"

Han Tao smiled slightly. Lina was definitely the most considerate secretary. She was also Quan Jing's ace administrative secretary. She had been with Luo Bin for so many years and had excellent connections in Kyoto. Otherwise, she wouldn't have gotten the news so quickly.

Soon, the two of them brought He Xingyun to Lan Hong's house. At this time, many people had come to her house, including relatives and friends, as well as people from the company. Jose had also arrived and was talking to Lan Lan.

When Lan Hong saw Han Tao, her heart was filled with emotion. She had never expected that in just a few days, everything that had happened had proven Han Tao's suspicions to be correct. So she quickly stood up and said,

"Thank you, Lawyer Han, for arriving as soon as possible."

"Condolences!"

Han Tao bowed slightly, said something politely, and then continued in a low voice: "I can't stay for too long. Can we find a quiet place to talk for a few words?"

"Of course, you're my lawyer, and I just happen to have something I want to talk to you about."

Lan Hong nodded, took Han Tao to the balcony, and closed the glass door that had a good sound effect. There were people in the room, so it was indeed inconvenient to talk.

After the two sat down, Han Tao took out a printed contract and said, "Take a look at this agency agreement first. If there is no problem, please sign it so that I can proceed to the next task."

Because the previous lawyer's fees had not been paid, Lan Hong understood Han Tao's approach. It was a good idea to be a villain first and a gentleman later. However, after reading the contract, she was a little surprised.

"Han Lu, isn't this ratio too high?"

Han Tao responded calmly: "Compared to the assets I can help you get, do you think 15% is high?

The most worrying thing about this case is that it can't be resolved quickly. Even if someone else could win, it probably wouldn't take a year or two. You're well aware of the risks involved."

"So you mean you can guarantee that we can win the lawsuit in a short time?"

Lan Hong asked back. In fact, she had already made up her mind. Under normal circumstances, she would never agree to this ratio. After all, the inheritance was not a small amount. Even if she could get a quarter of it, it would still be nearly 10 billion. This was simply taking advantage of the situation.

"Since I've proposed this percentage, I have a certain degree of confidence. And judging from our previous cooperation, the risk is not small. After all, your credibility is really worrying."

Lan Hong was speechless after hearing what Han Tao said. It was she who signed the agreement for the car case at that time and she won the lawsuit in the end. She and Sun Chaoyue were both pushing the blame. Sixteen million and five hundred thousand was not a small number and it was indeed a breach of trust.

Moreover, Lan Hong didn't dare to trust others. Han Tao was very foresighted, so Lan Hong guessed that he had made plans a long time ago, including the last time he contacted her. She was afraid that if she didn't sign, she pushed Han Tao to Sun Chaoyue.

Therefore, Lan Hong thought again and again, gritted her teeth and signed the agreement, pressed her fingerprints, and then said with a desperate move:

"Then I'll leave this matter to Lawyer Han. If I win this lawsuit, I will pay it together with the previous 16.5 million."

Hearing this, Han Tao nodded and said, "No problem, just leave the rest to me, and I promise that you will be glad for your choice today."

"Hopefully!"

Since the agreement had been signed, Han Tao was considered one of their own, so Lan Hong asked without hesitation: "Han Lu, what else do I need to do to cooperate with you?"

"No, don't worry about anything now. Your most important thing next is to take good care of your daughter. Of course, although you are very sad, you can't ignore Mr. Sun's funeral. You are his legal wife and have this obligation and right.

As for the lawsuit, I'll handle it. If you want to cut the Gordian knot quickly, you absolutely can't give them time to prepare. If Sun Chaoyue finds you first and produces a will or something, even if it means you have no inheritance, don't act rashly, and don't start a dispute. Call me immediately."

After hearing Han Tao's words, Lan Hong nodded in understanding. Han Tao wanted her to continue with her previous attitude and not give anyone a handle against her.

Seeing that she understood what he meant, Han Tao gave her a few more instructions and then stood up to say goodbye. In the current occasion and situation, even if the two of them were in a lawyer-client relationship, it would not be convenient for them to be alone for too long.

When Jose saw Han Tao go out, he said a few words to Lan Lan and followed him. He wanted to know what evidence Han Tao had obtained in the past few days.

He had also been preparing for many days. Now that Sun Haohan had passed away, their plan should begin.

Unexpectedly, not long after they left, Han Tao received a call from Lan Hong. It turned out that the company's legal manager went to her home and took out a will, which stated that she would have no inheritance, including the house she currently lived in.

After listening, Han Tao responded calmly: "I have already thought of this result, and I also found out that Sun Haohan transferred all his shares to Sun Chaoyue at a very low price a few days before his death, so you don't have any assets to inherit.

But don't worry, this is to be expected. From now on, don't have any contact with them. Didn't they say the house doesn't belong to you? Then move out and find a hotel nearby."

Lan Hong had placed all her bets on Han Tao, so she said without hesitation, "I understand. I'll have them talk to you directly. I'll move out with my daughter this afternoon. We won't be staying in a hotel anymore. We'll just find a clean and sanitary guesthouse."

"Very good. If you have any questions, just call me. I'll send Jose over. One is to accompany you and Lan Lan to deal with some problems, and the other is to help you block public opinion."

Han Tao gave a few instructions before hanging up the phone. He then turned to Jose and said, "Lawyer He, thank you for your trouble. Until I've finalized my arrangements, I'm telling Lan Hong not to meet with anyone from Sun Chaoyue, including their lawyers."

Jose nodded and said, "No problem. I'll get off in front and wait for your call anytime."

"it is good!"

Han Tao told He Xingyun to stop the car. After Jose got out and got into a taxi, he took out a document from his bag and handed it to Lina in the passenger seat.

"I'll get off at the law firm in a moment. You and Lucky should go file a case now and apply for property preservation. You should also file an application for an appraisal of the will."

Lina nodded. When He Xingyun heard Han Tao's arrangement, she couldn't help but get excited while driving. Their trip was delayed for so many days just for this case.

To this end, they have made sufficient preparations. Being able to participate in such a big case is a great experience for her.

Chapter 552

At the same time, Quan Jing was also in turmoil. A few days ago, because Luo Bin was promoted to director and had established his foothold, the stigma of Feng Yin was also washed away, so Luo Bin began to rectify the internal affairs.

The first person to start the fire was Gu Jie. After the two of them had a heated argument, although Sister Gu argued a lot, the facts were in front of her and she could not deny it after all.

However, Gu Jie, who was furious, resigned directly, packed up her things and left, preparing to start a new business, and even threatened to take her clients away.

Because she was a senior partner in the law firm and had been there for decades, Feng Yin did not blame her and even wanted to persuade her to stay, but it was of no use. Gu Jie was determined to leave, so Feng Yin and Luo Bin had no choice but to let her go.

After she left, Luo Bin and Feng Yin began to contact Gu Jie's clients. Feng Yin would never allow the clients to be taken away. They were all Quan Jing's clients. She could only take away the lawyers who were willing to go with her, not the clients.

So Luo Bin didn't have time to pay attention to Lan Hong these days, but things went against his wishes. Han Tao didn't want Luo Bin to know, but Luo Bin's assistant Dai Xi let him know.

It turned out that Dai Xi's college classmate Meng Xiaoyu suddenly came to Dai Xi, so Dai Xi learned that Gu Jie and another well-known lawyer in the industry, Wang Li, had set up a new law firm together, and planned to snatch Luo Bin's client Guangrui. She also learned that they took over Sun Chaoyue's case and that Lan Hong's husband had passed away.

This news made Dai Xi realize the seriousness of the matter. After separating from her classmates, she quickly contacted Luo Bin and told him the matter in person.

Because she met her old classmates, Dai Xi was a little worried that her lack of academic qualifications would be exposed. During this period, she also told Luo Bin her story and experience.

Luo Bin believes that academic qualifications are not important. Even without academic qualifications, one can continue to take exams and there is no need to be afraid of this. If she has any concerns, they can solve them together.

In fact, Dai Xi was just worried that she would no longer be able to work with Luo Bin because of this incident. She had benefited a lot from the time she spent with him and felt a sense of accomplishment. She didn't want to give up this job she loved.

However, Luo Bin couldn't take care of Dai Xi's affairs for the time being, because he had to talk to his good friend Guang Rui and also go see Lan Hong.

However, before he could walk out of the office, he was stopped by Feng Yin. Upon asking, he found out that Feng Yin had just received a call from He Sai and learned the latest developments of the Lan Hong case.

Finally, after some communication, Feng Yin asked Luo Bin to cancel all his schedules. After all, Guangrui's problem needed to be resolved urgently.

There are rumors all over the law firm now, which Feng Yin cannot tolerate. Feng Yin also reminds Luo Bin that Sun Chaoyue's matter has been handed over to He Sai, and the main force in this case is Han Tao. Compared with Sun Chaoyue, Guangrui's matter is the top priority.

Luo Bin had no choice but to put Lan Hong aside and went to Guangrui's office to find him first. After meeting, Guangrui told Luo Bin that their company wanted to change lawyers. They heard about the scandal that was sealed by Quan Jing Law Firm. Although it had been clarified, he was still the founding partner and Quan Jing's chief consultant.

Luo Bin was very disappointed by Guangrui's words. They had been brothers for many years, but this was just the case. He didn't trust them at all. In the end, the two of them failed to reach an agreement. Luo Bin returned to the law firm with a lot of anger.

………………

On Han Tao's side, after arranging the direction of public opinion, he also received a call from Feng Yin, inviting him to visit Quan Jing.

Han Tao would certainly not refuse. After all, Luo Bin had just taken office, and it was estimated that Feng Yin would have to wait for a while before stepping down to the second line. Moreover, if the two law firms, Mingtang and Quanjing, wanted to cooperate, they could not get around this former boss.

When Han Tao walked into his office, Feng Yin stood up to greet him and said, "You're here. Luo Bin told me everything. Thank you for your help with my problem."

"Boss, your words give me chills. I've been your soldier everywhere I've been. How can I stand by and watch you get tricked?"

Han Tao took the initiative to extend his hand, and said that what he did was what he should do, and then continued:

"Actually, I didn't lose anything. Luo Bin even gave me a client for this. I got a great deal. If you want to thank someone, thank him!"
