Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

After saying that, Wang Manni looked at Gu Jia meaningfully, which made Gu Jia feel embarrassed. This time, Han Tao traveled thousands of miles from Kyoto to Shanghai, and then hurried to Hunan. If he said he had no ideas, it was only because Gu Jia was his and Zhong Xiaoqin's best friend that he helped her. She would not believe anything she said.

Fortunately, Gu Jia had no other thoughts at the moment. Although she noticed that Wang Manni's eyes were not right, she did not think too deeply about it and said:

"Manni, please call Han Tao later and ask him to arrange a lawyer for me. My phone only has a few percent of battery left."

"No problem, I'll talk to him in a minute!"

Wang Manni nodded, reached out and picked up Gu Jia's hand on the table, walked to a distance and said: "Then I will charge you first, otherwise if something happens and we can't find you, we will be worried."

"Thank you. I'm going to pick up Ziyan later. I promised to come back and go to the amusement park, so I need to borrow your car. I didn't bring my car keys at home!"

Gu Jia thanked him while sipping the water in the cup. It seemed that she was not as calm as her expression showed.

Wang Manni returned to the sofa and changed the subject, "Why are we being so polite? Xiaoqin and I will go with you to pick up Ziyan, then we'll have a big meal and go to the amusement park."

As soon as Wang Manni finished speaking, before Gu Jia could say anything, Zhong Xiaoqin beside her interrupted Wang Manni's rhythm and continued to ask with concern:

"Gu Gu, what are you going to do in the future? Actually, it's normal for men to make mistakes. After all, your Xu Huanshan is an artist, so it's normal for him to attract some flowers and plants.

I think you should talk to him again. If he comes to his senses this time and stops contacting that woman, for the sake of Zi Yan and your uncle so he doesn’t have to worry about you, just forgive him once…”

Seeing that Zhong Xiaoqin was still talking about Gu Jia, Wang Manni disagreed and said, "Xiaoqin, you're wrong to think that way. This kind of thing can only happen zero times or countless times. As long as he can't resist the temptation, even if there's no one today, there will be another one tomorrow!"

"What Manni said is right. If he can't resist the temptation, even if there's no Lin Youyou, there will still be Li Youyou and Wang Youyou. Besides, I've already given him a chance, but he didn't want it. Now they've come knocking on my door, and there's nothing I can do."

Gu Jia had already sentenced Xu Huanshan to death in her heart, especially since Lin Youyou actually ran to work in the property management downstairs, which was simply a naked provocation.

"Are you talking about Lin Youyou, the new girl in our property management company?"

Zhong Xiaoqin stared at Gu Jia with her glasses wide open. She was promoted to vice president a few days ago, so she went back to the head office for a short-term training. She just came back yesterday, otherwise she would not have had time to accompany Wang Manni shopping.

Although she and Wang Manni saw Xu Huanshan and the other person entering the hotel before, they did not see their faces. Although she felt that the new girl looked familiar when she returned home today, she did not remember that she was the one Xu Huanshan had an affair with.

Wang Manni was also stunned by the news. It was understandable that Zhong Xiaoqin was not in the company, but she unexpectedly discovered today that the new property manager was the girl they saw that day.

Thinking of this, Wang Manni patted her forehead and said with some guilt: "I'm sorry, Gu Jia, I didn't even remember that the girl was..."

"It's okay, Manni. It's not your or Xiaoqin's fault. It's her first day at work too. It's normal that you didn't recognize her at first."

It is certain that Gu Jia is sad, but she is very calm. Xu Huanshan's cheating is already a fact, and there is no need for her to be hysterical. The most important thing now is to think of a way to deal with it.

But divorce is inevitable. She can't tolerate Xu Huanshan's betrayal and deception. To put it bluntly, is Lin Youyou really only interested in Xu Huanshan's talent?

In her opinion, this reason was unrealistic. Apart from his talent, Mr. Xu's identity was what attracted a girl like Lin Youyou the most. How could she not know that he wanted to take shortcuts after just graduating from college?

However, it can be said that Xu Huanshan's current status is all due to his own efforts. The business of the fireworks company was also brought in by himself. She was almost taken advantage of for the sake of business. Not only did Xu Huanshan fight with a client for a female employee, but now he has also cheated on her. How could he tolerate this?

Then there is the matter of the child. Gu Jia must get custody of the child, because what she cannot tolerate even more is that a mistress raises her child. It is horrible to think about it.

Not to mention that Lin Youyou would spend her money, sleep with her husband, and beat her own children, just the fact that a mistress took over would cause mental trauma to her son.

At this time, Zhong Xiaoqin finally realized that her thinking process was wrong, so she quickly changed the subject, comforted Gu Jia with Wang Manni, and said a lot of words to support her. After all, best friends are lifelong friends, so who else would support her if they didn't?

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

Chapter 627 Gu Jia is confused

In the living room of the 20th-floor mansion, Gu Jia looked at her two best friends, feeling a lot of emotions in her heart. Although Zhong Xiaoqin's marriage failed, she met Han Tao and lived a happy life.

Moreover, their natures are different from his own. Han Tao is unmarried. As long as Zhong Xiaoqin and Wang Manni are willing and willing, it doesn't matter. At least Han Tao is responsible.

So for the two of them, after being with Han Tao, they no longer have to worry about anything and can live a simple and happy life. This has to do with Zhong Xiaoqin's personality and matching. As for Wang Manni, she has everything she wants and there is nothing to be pretentious about.

Looking at herself again, Gu Jia always thought that her life was perfect and happy, but the result was cruel. Xu Huanshan felt that he had always lived in his own shadow, which made her very confused and she didn't know whether she was right or wrong.

Everything she did was for this family. She devoted herself to her family, taught her son well, and supported her husband Xu Huanshan in his career, cared about him in his life, and was in sync with him spiritually. She felt that she had given everything she could.

While the three of them were chatting, Gu Jia's phone rang. Seeing that it was Xu Huanshan calling, he sent several messages saying that he was in the elevator on the 20th floor. Gu Jia said to Zhong Xiaoqin and Wang Manni:

"Manni, Xiaoqin, Xu Huanshan is here. I'm going to go out and talk to him. Wait for me."

"Okay, we'll be waiting at the door. Just call us if you need anything."

Of course Wang Manni and Zhong Xiaoqin couldn't stop her, so they had to send her to the door, then opened the door and waited, in case anything happened and they didn't have time to stop her.

Seeing Gu Jia coming to the waiting area, Xu Huanshan took two steps forward and said, "Wife, I've thought clearly about what happened before and it was indeed my fault. I was just confused for a moment. Please forgive me this time.

I promise you that I will never have anything to do with her again. I will buy her a ticket back to Kyoto tomorrow. For the sake of my son, can you give me another chance? "

"Confused for a moment?"

Gu Jia looked at Xu Huanshan and sneered, then asked directly, "Then tell me, when did you start?"

"In...in Kyoto!"

Xu Huanshan didn't dare to look into Gu Jia's eyes, and responded haltingly: "After the fireworks show in Kyoto, he took me to play football..."

"Then what else is there to say? After so much time, you're not impulsive but you understand the feelings. Otherwise, you wouldn't have kept her if she came to you.

He also rented a house for her, took her on business trips, and took her to the factory, and continued to produce blue fireworks with unstable safety performance for her...

Gu Jia broke Xu Huanshan's fantasy, and broke Cheng Po down from beginning to end, without the gentleness she had before.

Seeing that Gu Jia was still so strong, Xu Huanshan blurted out, "Why are you always so aggressive? From dating to getting married, to starting a business, buying a house and sending our son to school, every step, every decision, and everything between us was made by you.

What am I then? Your appendage, or your supporting role? Have I not compromised or sacrificed for the sake of this family? For you and our son, I have convinced myself that I am willing to do this, but why can't you see it? "

"You convinced yourself?"

Seeing Xu Huanshan completely venting all the resentment he had accumulated over the years at this moment, with his mouth full of complaints, Gu Jia's eyes turned red and she smiled bitterly:

"Is this the reason you cheated? In other words, even without Lin Youyou, there would still be Li Youyou and Wang Youyou, right?

It's ridiculous how much I've devoted to you and this family over the years. Now that things have come to this, I might as well just say it all, or there will be no chance in the future!"

"What are you talking about? Wasn't what I just said right? I'm Mr. Xu in the company, but for many things, they always think of looking for you first, and then come to me for signature. Do you think what Mr. Xu does is interesting?

Besides, at home, you have the final say on what I eat and wear these years. From big things like meeting clients on business trips to small things like educating our children, I have never done anything without your advice.

Now I can't play football, can't finish my meal, and even have to listen to you about how many pairs of underwear to bring when I go on a business trip, what socks to wear, and what tie to wear. I don't act like a man in front of you. Zi Yan is your youngest son, and I am your eldest son, right?

I've been holding these words in my heart for a long time, and now that you've asked me to speak them out, I'm just going to say it all. It's not my fault alone that this family has come to this point!"

Gu Jia pursed her lips, tears streaming down her eyes, and sighed, "Yes, it's my fault. I'm too involved. It turns out that there has been an irreconcilable conflict between us for a long time.

Your cheating this time was just a way of expressing yourself, and I was like a fool, still fantasizing about a happy marriage. Fortunately, you will be free in the future. Let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow morning and get a divorce!"

After saying that, Gu Jia did not return to Wang Manni and Zhong Xiaoqin, nor did she take the elevator. Instead, she pushed open the door of the corridor and ran downstairs. The last time she climbed the stairs was for her son Zi Yan to go to school.

Xu Huanshan said that he was depressed, but Gu Jia had never been aggressive. She often said, "Husband, you are great."

When her son says to her mother, "You are so awesome!", Gu Jia will immediately tell her son that her father is the best in the family. He works hard every day to make money so that we can live a good life.

Not only did she say this, she also did so in her actions. Whether at home, outside or in the company, she paid special attention to maintaining Xu Huanshan's lofty image and would never say or do anything that would damage her husband's image.

She nipped Xu Huanshan's first wandering thoughts in the bud and chose to believe that Xu Huanshan did it unintentionally.

Even though Li Ke used words to mislead Xu Huanshan, causing him to become emotionally agitated and have a dispute with an important client, leading to problems with the company's financial operations, Gu Jia chose to solve the problem immediately and then decisively fired him.

When Xu Huanshan said the punishment was too severe, she did not mention Li Ke's intentions at all. She just said that Li Ke's words had damaged the interests of the company and she could not stay, but she gave her two extra months' salary.

Moreover, Gu Jia has always tried her best to help Xu Huanshan solve problems. When Xu Huanshan had a conflict with the big client Lao Wan because of a momentary emotional excitement, and regretted it in his heart but refused to admit defeat, it was Gu Jia who handled it herself and did not make things difficult for him.

When the child encountered difficulties in going to kindergarten, Gu Jia tried every possible way, begged Mrs. Wang humbly, and flattered her in various ways, and finally got the child into kindergarten smoothly.

She endured all of this, including the hardships and humiliations in the process, silently, not letting her husband be distracted by household matters, allowing him to concentrate on his career.

Even though she chose to be a full-time housewife and stayed at home, she did not give up studying. Instead, she used her free time to learn flower arranging, dessert making, yoga, French, etc.

The purpose of Gu Jia doing this was to let Xu Huanshan have no worries when he worked hard, and to become the spiritual pillar of her husband's career, but in the end she was not understood.

Just like that, Gu Jia walked down the stairs, thinking about her life over the years. She had put in so much effort in every aspect of her life, but in the end, this was the result.

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

Chapter 628 Suspicion of Shi Yi

After hanging up the phone with Zhu Suosuo and others, Han Tao's car was parked downstairs of Mingtang Law Firm. At this time, Lina, Shi Yi and another girl were waiting in the lobby on the first floor with folders in their hands.

Mingtang Law Firm has undergone significant changes in the past two days. Wendy has been completing the tasks assigned by Han Tao, acquiring as many law firms as possible within a short period of time as possible, so that after the Lianchuang case is concluded, it can rapidly expand into one of the top law firms in the country.

Seeing Han Tao coming in, Li Na, her apprentice Shi Yi, and the new lawyer hurried to greet him. Before he could ask, Li Na spoke first:

"Boss, all the information you requested has been sorted out. The procedures for the sanatorium and the tea plantation in Daishan have also been completed. We're just waiting for you to go over and make a contact with the local government. I've also made appointments for you with Director Wang and Deputy Mayor Liu."

"Thank you, Lina, for your hard work!"

Han Tao nodded. Lina's efficiency was impeccable. Most importantly, she was very forward-looking and had strong observation and analytical abilities.

Although the two of them had not worked together for a long time, they had been together for three years in Quanjing, so she knew Han Tao very well. She could even tell what he wanted to do just by looking at him, and she had strong observation and analytical skills.

This can be seen from the original plot. Lina observed that Feng Yin wore the same tie for two consecutive days, so she analyzed that Feng Yin might have encountered a problem and quickly reported it to Luo Bin.

Of course, to put it another way, as the boss's most trusted person, the secretary should be like eyes and ears, accurately obtaining various information, grasping the development trends of things in a timely manner, and transmitting it to the boss's brain quickly and accurately, so as to make correct judgments based on the situation!

"I'm not tired. You've been running non-stop for thousands of kilometers, that's the real hardship!"

Lina smiled slightly and handed a file to Han Tao while responding. Then she held out her hand to block the door and accompanied him into the elevator.

"Lucky is going back to her hometown, so I found you a new assistant. With her and Lucky together, it will be easier for you. Here's the information."

"Handong Political Science and Law Department?"

Han Tao looked at the information on the file and turned to look at the girl behind Lina. She was wearing a dark green shirt with patchwork colors on the upper body, black suit pants on the lower body, and a thin belt. She exuded a capable, dignified and elite temperament, and did not look like a newcomer at all.

Logically speaking, someone like her who has completed an internship and obtained a lawyer's license should at least start as a salaried lawyer or even a junior partner. After all, the law firm where she interned and the university she graduated from are both very good.

Moreover, she is Han Tao's schoolmate. Both of them are students of the Political Science and Law Department of Han University. She must have been invited by other classmates or recommended by a teacher to come to Mingtang. How can she be his assistant?

After all, a licensed lawyer is different from a trainee lawyer. A trainee lawyer can only obtain a lawyer's license after completing the internship period, passing the interview with the Bar Association, and applying to the Judicial Bureau. During this period, they are not qualified to take cases and mostly do errands and miscellaneous work, slowly accumulating experience.

Even when going to court, trainee lawyers must be accompanied by a practicing lawyer, because some places do not allow trainee lawyers to speak in court, and some courts do not accept case filing materials submitted by trainee lawyers as agents alone.

A licensed lawyer is a practicing lawyer who can take cases independently, appear in court, participate in all activities that lawyers can participate in, and then build a reputation.

Soon, several people walked to Han Tao's office. Lina took Han Tao's coat and hung it up, then continued:

"Qin Shi and you are classmates. She came here to seek refuge with you, her senior, and she took the initiative to ask to be your assistant, so I'll leave her to you. I have other things to do."

"Okay, go ahead and do your work. I'll call you if anything happens. Let Lucky go with you. She doesn't have to go to Daishan with me!"

Han Tao put the documents on the table and continued, "Oh, by the way, have Yang Dongxu arrange for two people to drive Lucky back to her hometown. Her sister is getting married, so use the two BMW 7 Series cars the law firm just bought!"

Please inform Chen Ran and have her prepare her things so she can go to court with me to fight Lian Chuang. She definitely doesn't want to miss this opportunity, especially since she can help Director Chen in person."

"Okay boss, I know!"

Lina nodded. She knew that Han Tao's rise was about to begin. As long as he won this battle and completed Shengxuan's 10 billion acquisition, both Mingtang and the lawyers involved in the case would become famous with Han Tao's support.

Moreover, this case is different from ordinary economic cases or the 10 billion inheritance dispute case of Haohan Chaoyue. The compensation involved was sky-high and the opponent's weakness was found, so the impact was not significant.

But this case is different. It is a case led by a law firm and involves many administrative personnel. As long as this super-large company is brought down and the personnel and law firms involved in the other party are defeated, Han Tao's plan will be successful.

In addition, after winning this case, the stain that Chen Wenguang brought to the reputation can be washed away, and Chen Wenguang will be acquitted.

Shi Yi walked in from outside the office, holding two cups of tea in her hands. She gently placed them in front of Han Tao and Qin Shi and said:

"Director, have some water. If there's nothing else, I'll wait outside. Just call me if you need anything."

"OK, thanks!"

Han Tao smiled slightly, reached out to pick up the teacup, then looked up in surprise and glanced again at Shi Yi who was walking out of the office.

The cup of tea in his hand was actually brewed in advance and prepared on time. The water temperature was about 50 degrees, which was just right to drink in this weather and indoor temperature.

This made Han Tao pay special attention to this girl. Although it was just a cup of tea, it revealed the other person's subtle details. Therefore, Han Tao gestured to Qin Shi to take a chair and sit down, while he turned on the computer to check the information Wendy had given him before.

However, the more Han Tao looked at her, the more he felt something was wrong. Judging from the information in the profile, this was a gentle and generous girl, well-educated, opinionated and not pretentious, with high emotional intelligence and EQ, not very fond of socializing, but not afraid of large events. How could she be an ordinary assistant?

Moreover, Shi Yi's resume states that she has many skills and talents. She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She owns a house and a car at a young age. She majored in dubbing in college, and her parents are both university teachers. She comes from a scholarly family.

It was this information that made Han Tao change his attention to Shi Yi into suspicion. It was abnormal for a girl with completely unrelated majors but not lacking money to come to work in a law firm, and it was even more abnormal for her to choose to be a secretary and become Lina's apprentice.

Thinking of this, Han Tao sent a message to Wendy, asking her to focus on investigating Shi Yi, and then started chatting with Qin Shi.

In Han Tao's opinion, Qin Shi was also an unreasonable person. There must be a reason why a practicing lawyer wanted to be his assistant.

But when she walked out of the inner room, Shi Yi smiled. She came to Mingtang not to be a secretary, but to have a mission.
