Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

Han Tao smiled, but fearing that Xu Hongdou would be embarrassed, he did not continue the topic, but instead talked about the issue of address.

Xu Hongdou looked at Han Tao, and thinking that he was the one who saved her today, and she had a good impression of Han Tao, she nodded:

"Okay, then Brother Han, don't call me Manager Xu anymore. Just call me Hongdou. That's what my friends call me."

"Okay, then let's not be polite!"

As they were talking, the two had already walked out of the emergency room and arrived at the parking lot. Xu Hongdou, who was standing behind Han Tao, felt her face flushed.

"It will take about half an hour to get there, you can take a rest for a while."

Han Tao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and put out his hand to protect Xu Hongdou's head, letting her get in the car first, and then he got in himself.

The driver closed the door for the two of them, then returned to the driver's seat and said, "Mr. Han, should I take you back to the hotel first, or...?"

Hearing this, Han Tao shook his head and said, "No need. Let's take your Manager Xu first. She just had her injection. Let her go back and rest early!"

"Okay, Mr. Han, Manager Xu, let's go."

The driver nodded, asked Xu Hongdou for the address, then turned on the navigation, started the car and drove out of the hospital and went straight to the house rented by Xu Hongdou.

Because it was the hotel's car, in order to avoid embarrassing Xu Hongdou, Han Tao didn't say anything after getting in the car. The two of them just stayed in silence all the way.

More than thirty minutes later, the black Rolls-Royce Ghost drove very smoothly to the destination. After the driver opened the door, Han Tao accompanied Xu Hongdou out of the car.

At this time, Xu Hongdou also received a call from her best friend Chen Nanxing. It turned out that Chen Nanxing had waited at the gate of the community for twenty minutes but he didn't come back, so she went upstairs early to help her clean up the house.

Seeing this, Han Tao looked at the somewhat weak Xu Hongdou, turned around and told the driver to wait for a moment, then accepted Xu Hongdou's invitation and sent her upstairs.

After entering the house rented by Xu Hongdou, Han Tao looked around carefully. The house was not too small, about 60 square meters, with one bedroom and one living room.

Although it is a bit small, a house like this is not cheap in Kyoto, and it is not far from the hotel where she works. The monthly rent is around 6,000.

Her best friend Chen Nanxing came to her house and found that all the food in the refrigerator had expired. The longest one had been expired for three months, and it was the one she sold to Xu Hongdou when she left last time.

This made Chen Nanxing wonder why people had to be so tired. Although they both worked in Kyoto, because of the different nature of their jobs, she was rarely seen every day.

Besides, my best friend Xu Hongdou is also extremely tired. She falls asleep immediately after get off work every day. It can be said that the two of them don’t even have time to date.

"Nanxing, what are you mumbling about? Stop working, I can clean it up myself when I have time!"

Xu Hongdou greeted her bestie, then said sheepishly to Han Tao behind her, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Brother Han. This is my good friend Chen Nanxing. I'm usually busy with work, and my house is a bit messy. Every time she comes back from a business trip, she comes to help me clean it up."

Hearing this, Chen Nanxing turned around and looked at Xu Hongdou who had returned home. He excitedly ran over and hugged her, then looked her up and down for a long time. Seeing that she was not in too bad condition, he felt relieved.

After Xu Hongdou introduced him to Chen Nanxing, Han Tao smiled and said, "Hongdou, I can rest assured that Miss Chen is with you. The driver is still waiting for me, so I won't disturb you guys to rest!"

Seeing that he was about to leave after just a few words, Xu Hongdou hurriedly said, "Brother Han, thank you for troubling you all night. Sit down and rest for a while. Come on, I'll get you a glass of water."

"Don't be polite. You're still sick. How can I let a sick person like you pour water? You guys should take a rest. I'll come to visit you again when I have the chance!"

Shaking his head slightly, Han Tao placed the medicine Xu Hongdou needed to take on the coffee table in the living room, then turned and left.

Chen Nanxing, who was standing by, looked at Han Tao with some confusion when he heard Xu Hongdou's address. Seeing that he was quite handsome and had a good temperament, he smiled and greeted him:

"Mr. Han, please have a cup of tea before you leave. You saved our Hongdou today and stayed with her in the hospital for such a long time. How can you leave without drinking a sip of water? It's too neglectful."

"Thank you, Miss Chen. No, it's too late. You should go to bed early and drink the water another day."

After saying that, Han Tao left Xu Hongdou's rental house. Chen Nanxing looked at Han Tao's back as he left, thought for a moment, closed the door, and started to ask her best friend questions.

Seeing her face full of curiosity, Xu Hongdou walked to the sofa and sat down, telling Chen Nanxing in detail how she met Han Tao and what happened in the hospital.

After listening to Xu Hongdou's story, Chen Nanxing raised many questions about love, but neither of them had much experience in love, and they couldn't come to a conclusion after discussing for a long time.

During this time, Xu Hongdou looked at her best friend who was busy and nagging while chatting with her, and asked: "Nanxing, have you lost weight? Are you trying to lose weight?"

"No, I'm just tired. Our company is launching a new project, and this business trip involves inspecting more than a dozen hotels, including their surroundings and supporting facilities.

After finishing all this work and writing a report of tens of thousands of words, I am almost exhausted, my dear. Now I still have back pain, especially my lower back, which is very sore.

"It's so serious, then you really need to take it seriously. I just happened to have an appointment for a gastroscopy. You can come with me for a physical examination so that if there are any problems, you can treat them in time."

"We're like soulmates, I think so too. I'll go with you to get a gastroscopy tomorrow and check it out."

"Then it's settled. Stop fiddling with it. I'm starving. Let's order something to eat. The doctor said I can't go hungry!"

Chapter 558 Playing the emotional card

PS: I'm so sorry, brothers. I just finished taking care of my family affairs and I got infected. I tested positive for the virus twice and have a fever of 39 degrees. I have a terrible headache now. Please bear with me!

In the small meeting room of Quanjing Law Firm, the atmosphere was somewhat depressing. Luo Bin hesitated for a moment before speaking with a stiff upper lip.

"Any lawsuit carries risks. Since Lawyer Gu and Lawyer Wang have come here to seek reconciliation with Lawyer Han, it means you're not sure of winning, so you should show sincerity."

Han Tao glanced at Luo Bin and didn't understand why he would get involved in this mess without Lan Hong's commission, so he didn't express his opinion.

However, Sun Chaoyue, who was sitting opposite, couldn't hold his composure anymore. He looked at Han Tao and Jose, who were full of confidence, and couldn't help but play the emotional card and said:

"Lawyer Han, Lawyer He, we came here with absolute sincerity. We hope we can understand each other.

To put it another way, if I were you, would you give up the career that your brother and I have worked hard for to someone who has never participated in it?

Isn't this too unfair to me, my ex-sister-in-law, and my nephew? Why should I give all this away? You are now aiding and abetting the evil. Isn't this too immoral?"

Glancing at the somewhat agitated Sun Chaoyue, Han Tao spoke calmly:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Sun, we are lawyers and we are only responsible for our clients. You don't have to use moral coercion against us.

In my opinion, a lawyer should do his or her professional work well. When handling a case, my moral bottom line is the law.

Besides, Mr. Sun isn't that noble, otherwise he wouldn't have found excuses to try to avoid paying the agency fees for the three-for-one refund car case."

Seeing Han Tao's criticism, Sun Chaoyue's face changed. Jose on the side couldn't help but said:

"Yes, one-quarter is not a small amount, but it is not the share that the Blue and Red should get, so there is no room for negotiation.

As for the agency fees for the car case, a total of 16.5 million yuan, I hope Mr. Sun can settle it as soon as possible, otherwise we will also formally sue."

"If you say that, then you're a rogue lawyer, and you even applied for property preservation in advance. Shouldn't the law be based on human nature?

I can promise that I'll give you a share of whatever Lan Hong gives you. I absolutely cannot watch Lan Hong get something for nothing. As for the over 10 million, I can't make the decision yet. I will pay it if we reach an agreement on this case."

Seeing Sun Chaoyue becoming increasingly agitated, Han Tao maintained a smile and said, "To deal with hooligans, you should use hooligans' methods. Besides, I don't think we are at a moral disadvantage.

Mr. Sun, you refused to let your sister-in-law see your brother while he was seriously ill. After his death, you wanted your sister-in-law to leave the house with nothing and inherit nothing. You also wanted her to move out of the property sold in the name of the company and live on the streets with her two-year-old daughter. Is that moral?"

"Nonsense, who said I was going to kick Lan Hong out of the house? I was planning to give them 100 million yuan as resettlement allowance, and I will also cover the cost of raising my niece."

"That was after we intervened, after public opinion turned in our favor, and you guessed it, they were going to settle the matter peacefully."

Jose didn't wait for Han Tao to speak before he retorted directly. He had been getting along very well with Lan Lan recently and knew a lot of inside information.

Han Tao stopped rambling and got straight to the point. "I think there's no point in talking about this now. Ultimately, this matter is the mess left behind by Mr. Sun Haohan. Stop blaming each other and let's get back to the point."

Han Tao's words stunned Sun Chaoyue for a moment, and then he asked in confusion: "What does this have to do with my brother? His illness and death were very sudden, and no one was prepared. However, he still made the right choice at the last moment."

"This is just your one-sided statement. Don't think you can bribe all the insiders. There is always a loophole. I have obtained the evidence.

As for why it is Mr. Sun Haohan's problem, we have to start from the beginning. When he married Lan Hong, he did not do a pre-marital property notarization. Can it be assumed that he agreed to Lan Hong inheriting his assets?

If that's the case, Sun Chaoyue, you're forcing your sister-in-law before your brother's body is even cold. Even if Lan Hong is a second wife, she's still the legitimate heir, and you're the true outsider."

Han Tao's words left everyone speechless. After a long silence, Gu Jie broke the quiet of the meeting room and said:

"Lawyer Han, I think you're right. Let's get back to the point and continue discussing the division of the estate. There's no need to dwell on whether Mr. Sun Haohan loves Lan Hong or not."

After Gu Jie finished speaking, Luo Bin advised again, "That's right, this case still needs to be negotiated. After all, if it really goes to court, whoever loses will have no inheritance. I don't think Mr. Sun Haohan would want to see that outcome if he were still alive."

After saying that, Luo Bin looked around and saw that no one spoke, so he continued, "So I suggest that everyone make concessions and choose a better solution.

I think the best way is to divide Mr. Sun Haohan's estate into four equal parts: Mr. Sun Chaoyue, Mr. Sun Haohan's eldest son Sun Ran, Lan Hong, and Lan Hong's daughter."

This suggestion made Sun Chaoyue somewhat tempted, and he kept winking at his lawyers Gu Jie and Wang Li. Gu Jie and Wang Li exchanged glances and both agreed with this proposal.

The Haohan Chaoyue Group has always been managed by Sun Haohan's younger brother Sun Chaoyue. After all, the company was founded by the two brothers together. The inheritance was divided equally among Lan Hong, Sun Chaoyue, Lan Hong's children, and Sun Haohan's eldest son born to his ex-wife.

This result avoids direct confrontation between the uncle and the sister-in-law, and also avoids the risk of zero inheritance for either party. It can comfort the spirit of the deceased well and better protect the peace of the next generation.

After all, my country's inheritance law stipulates that the first order of inheritance is spouse, children, and parents, and the second order is brothers and sisters, grandparents, and grandparents.

Therefore, after the inheritance begins, it will be inherited by the first-order heirs, and the second-order heirs will not inherit. If there are no first-order heirs, it will be inherited by the second-order heirs.

Moreover, inheritance is a complicated matter, involving all aspects of property and all aspects of personal relationships. Most of the heirs are relatives, so when dealing with inheritance matters, one must rely not only on the law, but also on superior wisdom and understanding high emotional intelligence.

Handling inheritance matters peacefully and amicably can not only protect the legitimate rights and interests of the majority of people, but also be more conducive to building a harmonious socialist society. Luo Bin's proposal is to act as a peacemaker.

Of course, there are still many points that have not been fully explained in this matter. According to the inheritance by will, even if the will is true, Lan Hong and the children will not inherit nothing.

According to regulations, Sun Haohan's estate can only be inherited after his personal assets are separated from the couple's joint property, so that Lan Hong can get the assets that she does not need to inherit.

Secondly, when dealing with the estate, necessary inheritance should be left for the heirs who are unable to work and have no source of income. The remaining part can be dealt with in accordance with the distribution principles determined in the will.

In other words, Lan Hong and Sun Haohan's child is not yet an adult, and Sun Haohan should retain necessary inheritance for the child. As the child's guardian, Lan Hong has the right to protect the child's property rights from infringement, and also has the right to dispose of the child's property in order to safeguard the child's interests.

However, this is just considering the positive side. There are too many unexpected changes. Lan Hong has no experience in running a company and is likely to be plotted against.

Chapter 559: The End of the Inheritance Case and New Situations

Seeing that everyone was interested, Han Tao smiled calmly and asked directly:

"Director Luo, do you think the plan you proposed can really satisfy everyone?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Bin responded without unblocking his account, "Isn't that so? Han Lu, if you have any advice, please feel free to tell me. We're all here to conclude this issue today."

"Needless to say, don't you, Luo Lu, think too highly of people?

Mr. Sun Haohan held 60% of the shares of Haohan Chaoyue Group during his lifetime. If the four of them were to share it equally, Lan Hong and her daughter would only have 30%. "That one would be the same as nothing."

Han Tao's direct words broke Luo Bin's fantasy. Seeing that he was thinking for a moment, he continued:

"After all, if you follow your proposal, Mr. Sun Chaoyue and Sun Ran will hold 70% of the shares, which means they will have absolute control. Then he can easily kick Lan Hong and her daughter out later."

Hearing Han Tao's words, Sun Chaoyue stood up without thinking and said loudly: "Bullshit, Lawyer Han is too underestimated, isn't he?

The reason I'm fighting so hard is because I don't want to see the kingdom my brother and I have fought so hard for handed over to others, not because I want to kill my widowed sister-in-law and niece. You are judging others by your own standards."

"I find Mr. Sun Chaoyue's words ridiculous. Since you've already done that, stop trying to whitewash yourself. If you really cared about your widowed sister-in-law and niece, why would you come up with something like this when your brother's body is still warm?"

Han Tao will not give him any face. He has a lot of shares under his name. With Lan Hong's ability, he can't keep them at all, no matter if it's a conspiracy or an open one.

After all, a physical industry like Hanchao Chaoyue Group does not have much cash flow, and when those things fall into Lan Hong's hands, there will not be much left.

Seeing that Han Tao refused to give in, Gu Jie asked again, "So, according to Lawyer Han, how should we resolve this?"

Han Tao knew that the other party had already followed his lead, so he took out an agreement and said, "In my opinion, we should go straight to court. I am absolutely sure we will win.

But what you said is not unreasonable. From the perspective of family ties, I am willing to persuade Lan Hong to mediate. After all, no one wants to see the battleship of the Haohan Chaoyue Group sink due to internal friction."

Sun Chaoyue nodded and said, "Okay, I can guarantee that I will never try to take Lan Hong and my niece's share. This can be written into the agreement."

"I hope Mr. Sun can keep his word. You really have no credibility with me. In order to protect Ms. Lan Hong's legal rights and interests, I will never give up the 60% of shares that she should have legally inherited.

However, the company can continue to be managed by Mr. Sun Chaoyue, or it can sell you 9% of the shares at the issue price, which means that Ms. Lan Hong must have a controlling stake.

Han Tao's words made everyone fall into deep thought. The reason why he did this was because he didn't want to see Lan Hong kicked out by Sun Haohan after getting the shares. Although he won the case and did not lose his lawyer fees, his reputation was still affected.

Sun Chaoyue on the side was also engaged in a fierce psychological struggle. His thoughts were not that heartless actually. He was mainly unwilling to accept it and was unwilling to let his brother's hard work be taken away by Lan Hong. At the same time, he also did not want to see the company he had worked so hard to establish collapse because of internal friction.

So after he apologized, he went to the side to discuss quietly with Gu Jie and Wang Li. After reaching a consensus, the three of them came back and Wang Li spoke:

"Lawyer Han, we can accept the contact you proposed, but we also have a condition. I hope you and Ms. Lan Hong can agree to it."

"Tell me about it. If it's not too much, I can consider it!"

Han Tao glanced at them and could probably guess that although Sun Haohan's inheritance could not be divided among Sun Chaoyue, the eldest son Sun Ran had the right of inheritance.

Seeing Han Tao's agreement, Wang Li continued, "Lan Hong can inherit the shares. We are also grateful for your proposal to sell 9% of the shares to Mr. Sun Chaoyue.

However, we must specify in the contract that in the event of an accident or a hundred years later, Sun Ran also has the right to inherit Lan Hong's share."

Han Tao did not agree immediately, but thought for a long time and then sent a message to Lan Hong. In fact, Sun Ran should have the right of inheritance.

After all, winning the lawsuit means that Lan Hong and Sun Chaoyue will completely stand on opposite sides, or even become enemies. Then the company will have no future with constant internal fighting.

Although Han Tao said that the moral bottom line is the law, China is a society based on personal relationships, and he is not an unscrupulous lawyer, so he must make some concessions. After all, he still has a powerful enemy in Kyoto, so he has to be extra careful.

Of course, Sun Chaoyue’s will itself had problems. He, Gu Jie and Wang Li knew very well that this result was the best now. After all, Sun Chaoyue could still get 9%, which was the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

Soon Lan Hong came to the conference room. Han Tao repeated the situation and what happened in front of everyone. Lan Hong sat down and nodded to Han Tao gratefully.
