After saying that, Han Tao got up and walked out of the house. He took back a bottle of red wine from the Pullman parked at the gate of the courtyard. The two chatted and drank. Andy also completely opened his heart and talked a lot with Han Tao.
She talked about her life and work abroad, her childhood, and later her work after returning to China, including Doudou's current situation, Daishan and the charity foundation, as well as Shengxuan's progress in acquiring Hongxing.
Han Tao thought about how he had reminded her to replace Liu Siming, and couldn't help asking, "Andy, how's that Liu Siming you mentioned last time?
Did Lao Tan remove him from your team? According to you, this person is busy watching stocks during the day and working on copywriting at night. He could easily suffer an accident, such as sudden death or a stroke.
Hearing Han Tao ask this, Andy couldn't help but thank him again: "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten about it. Thank you for reminding me of this.
Before, I always thought it wasn’t that serious. After all, I arranged reasonable work for him, but he insisted on staying up late to work overtime without caring about me.
But after you reminded me that time, I talked to Lao Tan about it. You are right. In my opinion, a reasonable work arrangement does not mean that others can be competent for it, especially Liu Siming. If he is not suitable, why must he stay in my team? So I transferred him out.
I heard that he didn't change his habit even after he went to other departments. A few days ago, when you went to Kyoto, he fainted while working overtime at home. Although his wife found him and sent him to the hospital early, he had already fallen into a deep coma and probably would not be able to work normally in the future. For this reason, Liu Siming's lover went to Shengxuan and made a fuss for a few days.
Although it was finally resolved, Lao Tan said that if Liu Siming had caused problems during my team's working hours or in the middle of the night, it would have had a huge impact on me. Of course, I would have blamed myself, after all, I did receive his emails in the early hours of the morning many times.
"In fact, in China, any company that doesn't have a wolf culture has this kind of employee. They have poor abilities but sit in middle management positions. They are typical people with high expectations but low skills.
However, this type of person, as a veteran employee, is given some respect by their superiors, so this type of person is most suitable for government agencies, where they don't seek to achieve anything but avoid making mistakes.
Especially Liu Siming, who has poor work ability, is middle-aged, has elderly and young children to take care of, and is stuck in stock speculation, which leads to him not paying attention to his work. Finally, he fainted from exhaustion from working overtime at night. You don't need to blame yourself.
In fact, President Tan has more responsibilities than you. Logically speaking, the right thing for the company to do is to fire such employees as soon as possible, or transfer them to departments where they are competent.
Instead of repeatedly tolerating him just because he's a veteran, and letting him participate in the project you're taking over, letting an inappropriate person take a position he's not qualified for will inevitably lead to poor performance."
"After chatting with you for a while, all my worries are gone. Although we haven't known each other for long, it feels like we've known each other for ages. It's great to have you as a friend. Cheers!"
"Friendship lasts forever, cheers!"
Andy's mood had been going through a lot of ups and downs, so she especially wanted to drink tonight. Han Tao accompanied her for a few drinks until the bottle of red wine was finished. Han Tao stopped her from getting another bottle of wine, and instead planned to chat for a while before they each took a rest.
However, the wine does not make people drunk, but people make themselves drunk. Andy's eyes were already blurred at this time, and she looked at Han Tao with unusual passion. Her whole body exuded the smell of female hormones, and the distance between the two people was getting closer and closer.
Andy had been struggling with how to handle her relationship with him, especially because she was worried about her mental problems and that she was carrying the genetic gene, so she hadn't considered anything else.
However, every time she saw Guan Juer and others, or even Fan Shengmei, she felt a little envious. Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying were so innocent and cute, and even Qu Xiaoxiao was more qualified than herself. She was quirky and dared to love and hate.
Therefore, before, whenever she thought that she might go crazy, she would give up the idea of taking the relationship further. Especially after meeting Qu Xiaoxiao and being influenced by her outlook on love, Andy felt that if she had not been worried about mental problems, she might have been with Lao Tan a long time ago.
However, she and Lao Tan missed the opportunity, and Lao Tan's family would not let him marry a woman who was potentially dangerous. This was also the conclusion she came to after learning about the families in the country.
But it's different now. She has come to terms with it and things have taken a turn for the better. Andy really doesn't want to give up such a good opportunity. Even if it's a love affair that ends without a result, at least she won't have any regrets. The worst that can happen is that she won't get married.
Andy also felt that as long as he thought about it carefully, he could always come up with a solution that would have the best of both worlds, that is, not dragging Han Tao down, but not leaving him either. It would be best to maintain a balance.

Chapter 642 Lao Tan and Wei Wei
At the same time, in the Sheshan villa area in Shanghai, Tan Zongming was smoking a cigar on the sofa in the villa when a phone call came in, saying that Wei Wei's address had been found.
Tan Zongming hung up the phone and left the villa directly, driving to Wei Wei's house alone. He now wanted to kill this bastard.
Wei Wei heard the doorbell and opened the door to see Tan Zongming. He quickly said, "Mr. Tan, what brings you here..."
"boom……"
Tan Zongming did not respond, but punched Wei Wei without saying a word, then grabbed his collar and pressed Wei Wei against the wall.
"Do you think you're capable of that? Are you the only one who can find out Andy's background? Do you know who Wei Guoqiang is? How dare you bring him to Andy before you've figured it all out?"
Wei Wei wiped the corner of his mouth and frowned in defense: "I didn't expect it either. I just wanted to give Andy a surprise. I really didn't expect it to turn out like this!"
"boom…"
Tan Zongming was so angry that he punched Wei Wei in the stomach again and scolded him, "What didn't you think of? What can you think of? A father hasn't contacted his daughter for so many years, why don't you think about the reason?
Andy is very sensitive and it is easy for her to make associations when she sees her brother. It was only after Han Tao and I tried to find solutions and counsel her again and again that she stopped having such wild thoughts.
Now that you've let her know about her mother and grandmother's situation, have you ever thought about how scared she is? This bloodline will be like a time bomb, a constant reminder to her, so you almost destroyed her, do you know that? "
"I'm sorry, Mr. Tan. I really didn't expect it. My intentions were good. I just wanted to help Andy. I didn't expect it to develop into the current situation!"
Wei Wei did not fight back. Although he broke up with Andy, or it could not be said that they did not break up because they had never confirmed their relationship, but he was always thinking about Andy, so he investigated Andy's affairs through his friends.
In fact, at the beginning he was just thinking whether he could find some reasons to get close to Andy again from Andy's past, but when he found out that there were other people investigating Andy, they were not Tan Zongming and Han Tao.
Therefore, Wei Wei became more interested in her life experience, especially since the other party had also investigated the Daishan Welfare Home. This made Wei Wei immediately realize that this person must have a special relationship with Andy.
The result was indeed as expected. After Wei Wei's friend's persistent investigation, he finally found out the other party's identity. It turned out to be Wei Guoqiang, a well-known economics expert in Shanghai, and this person might be Andy's biological father.
This result made Wei Wei have some other thoughts besides wanting to get close to Andy. After all, Andy herself is a rich and beautiful woman with great abilities. If she is also Wei Guoqiang's daughter, then after being with her, his career will undoubtedly take off.
So Wei Wei felt that as long as he found Wei Guoqiang and took him to recognize his daughter, both Wei Guoqiang himself and Andy would be moved and grateful to him.
Therefore, when he learned that Wei Guoqiang would attend the economic forum, Wei Wei rushed there resolutely and got to know Wei Guoqiang through a friend's introduction. Needless to say, he paid a heavy price for it.
Not only did Andy almost go crazy because of him, but he was also disliked by the business tycoon Lao Tan, who even came to him regardless of his status and attacked him without saying a word. He didn't even catch the fox and got himself into trouble.
In fact, he has been calling and texting Andy all day, hoping to get Andy's forgiveness, but he has not received a reply. If Old Tan had not come to him, Wei Wei would have planned to go to Daishan, because he knew that Andy would definitely go to see his brother.
After beating and scolding him, and the other party apologizing continuously, Tan Zongming's anger subsided a little, so he glared at Wei Wei fiercely, then walked to the stool in front of the window and sat down, saying:
"Andy has been my good friend for over ten years. I was very surprised when I first met her because I had never seen a girl like her before. She was so strong yet so simple. It was like she lived in her own world and nothing else had anything to do with her.
It was not until we got to know each other better that I learned that she had been an orphan since childhood, which caused her to have difficulty communicating with others. For so many years, she had deliberately isolated herself from the outside world to protect herself. I even didn't know whether it was right or wrong to bring her back to China!
But one thing I can confirm is that Andy's meeting you is absolutely unfortunate, because you will drag her into a bad side. So I'm not here today just to teach you a lesson. As a friend, I also want to implore you to leave her. This is for her own good, as well as your own."
"no way!"
Hearing this, Wei Wei looked at Tan Zongming and said, "I really like Andy. I will never leave her at this time."
Tan Zongming couldn't help laughing when he heard his answer, so he looked at Wei Wei and said word by word: "Mr. Wei, maybe you don't know me well enough, but I have investigated you very clearly. You are a scheming person and you are unscrupulous in doing business.
During the financial crisis, when so many people suffered doomed disasters, you were able to survive on your own without your partner. And as far as I know, your relationship with that person was just that of a partner, right?"
Hearing this, Wei Wei turned and looked at Tan Zongming, his eyes gloomy as he said, "Mr. Tan, what on earth do you mean by telling me this?"
Tan Zongming looked at her, his tone containing three parts of consolation and seven parts of warning: "You are a smart person, but also very selfish. No matter what happens, you will choose to protect yourself first. Andy is different from ordinary people. Her life experience has caused her to be born with a lack of security.
It can even be said that she doesn't know how to establish an intimate relationship with others. If you reveal everything, it will only make her doubt herself more. So in my opinion, you are really not suitable for her, and it will not be good for anyone to continue to entangle with you!
It can be said that because of you, all the efforts of Han Tao and I during this period have been ruined. She had already tried to make friends, but now because of your selfish desires, she will fall into another round of self-doubt. "
Wei Wei didn't respond, but changed the subject and asked, "Mr. Tan, you're not just saying this as a friend today, are you?"
"That's right!"
Tan Zongming nodded without hesitation and said, "Andy is so outstanding, many people are attracted to her, and I was once one of them, but I know myself well. I don't have the confidence to make Andy fall in love with me, and I can't take the risk.
As for you, Mr. Wei, I understand that we are of the same kind. Since you are not sure you can handle all this, then don't force yourself to do it, and try not to provoke her in the future."
Wei Wei was so smart, how could he not understand what Tan Zongming meant, so he directly refuted: "Mr. Tan, you don't have to measure me by yourself. You don't dare to pursue Andy, but I do.
To be honest, I was also worried that she wouldn't accept me at first, but Andy and I got along very well. I decided that no matter how much time it took, I would make Andy face herself and hope that she would accept me. After all, we had been chatting for a long time and she had almost no secrets from me.
After listening to Wei Wei's words, Tan Zongming stood up and looked at him. Wei Wei also stood up and looked at him. After a few minutes, Tan Zongming said:
"I think you're overthinking it. Not to mention that all this happened because of you, even if it hadn't happened, you wouldn't have had a chance. In comparison, Han Tao is more suitable for Andy. At least he's more responsible than you.
Even though Han Tao is very fickle and Andy is not the only woman around him, he will not hurt Andy. Instead, he will try his best to help Andy. Andy is happy with him, but she is not happy with you.
The two of you don't have the same values. Although this is not the biggest obstacle, you can change for each other or accommodate each other, but you can't pretend forever, and you can't pretend forever.
As for what you said about being able to chat well, I think it's even more ridiculous. Andy and you first met on the Internet. This is completely naked online love. How many online relationships have you seen that had a good ideal result?
Even though you are attracted to each other's talents, as elites in the industry, you are both too rational, so this is your biggest obstacle. You two are just too rational."
After saying that, Tan Zongming got up and left without waiting for Wei Wei's response. Then he took the elevator downstairs while calling Andy.

Chapter 643 Reward from Andy
The tea mountain exudes vitality in the early morning. In the Daishan Sanatorium on the mountainside, a light freshness floats in the air. The sun rises, and the gentle sunlight shines through the window into the bedroom of a small courtyard. Outside the window, a few sparrows are singing happily on the branches.
Andy, who was sleeping soundly on the double bed, was awakened by his biological clock. He opened his eyes and looked at Han Tao who was sitting next to him reading a book. He looked around the room and suddenly remembered something, so he hurried to get up.
Han Tao saw her panic, put down the book, and couldn't help laughing: "Andy, it's still early, don't you want to sleep for a while?"
Andy blushed as she thought of what happened last night. She looked at Han Tao sheepishly and replied calmly, "I get up at this time every day for a morning run. I'm used to it!"
"Today's situation is special, so you should rest for a while!"
Han Tao stood up and put the warm water on the table on the bedside table, and continued: "Drink a glass of warm water, someone will bring breakfast in a while, I'm going for a morning run."
"and many more!"
Andy stopped Han Tao, rolled his eyes at him, and said, "Is everyone else up yet? I'll go for a morning run with you, too. Otherwise..."
"Don't worry, Xiaofan and Mingliang are the only ones awake, but they've already gone hiking. The others haven't gotten up yet."
Han Tao knew Andy's worries, and knew that she had not yet considered how to deal with their relationship. He also understood what she meant, so he tried to dispel Andy's concerns while walking towards the door.
As expected, Andy breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Han Tao's words. Seeing him with his back to her, he said while putting on his clothes:
"Han Tao, wait outside for a while. I also want to go to the tea mountain for a walk!"
"Okay, wash up first, I'll wait for you in the living room!"
Han Tao heard the rustling sound of someone getting dressed behind him, nodded, opened the door and walked out, then quickly closed the door.
"call……"
Andy breathed a sigh of relief again. Actually, she was quite nervous just now. Although she was already 31 years old, it was her first time sleeping in the same bed with a man. She was really a little overwhelmed.
However, while getting dressed, she saw a stain of bright red on the bed sheet. She felt shy and confused at the same time. On TV, shouldn't getting up early for the first time be very painful? Why didn't she feel it?
However, Andy did not dwell on this issue for too long. After all, she was a virgin, which was already very good compared to most girls.
Moreover, Andy felt that life was now real, and everything she saw became colorful. She felt that not only her brother was slowly being healed, but even her own psychological problems were about to be cured by Han Tao.
This reminded her of her conversation with Qu Xiaoxiao: "Andy, when it comes to being a true person, you are the one who is most tired, like you. When it comes to being a false person, the people around you are the most tired, like Sister Fan.
Don't set limits for yourself. As long as you don't hurt others, just do what you want. It's not that you're afraid of meeting people, it's that you haven't found the person you can accept. If you meet the right person, you'll change."
Now it seems that what Qu Xiaoxiao said makes sense. She had no friends before, was afraid of physical contact, and did not trust others. Except for Lao Tan, she had never thought about falling in love for so many years, nor did she like making friends. She also planned to live out her life alone, and wrote a will, making arrangements for the consequences in case she inherited her mother's genes and went crazy.
Andy has been working hard to make money for so many years, just to ensure that he will have money to support himself if he goes crazy one day, so that he will not be too miserable and can retain his last bit of dignity.
If Han Tao hadn't come into her life, Andy felt that her life would have gone on just as she had imagined.
In the past, she mistakenly regarded her contact with Wei Wei as love, until she met Han Tao, or until now, she knew what love really felt like.
She rejected Wei Wei's physical contact with her, and she told Wei Wei all her past. She thought this was something that must be done to be honest and understand each other in love. Not hiding anything meant sincerity, and this was how Andy thought love was supposed to be.
But only Andy herself could feel that when she was with Wei Wei, the pressure was greater than the happiness, reason overwhelmed emotion, and painful experiences often came. Andy was often on the verge of collapse, especially this time when he brought Wei Guoqiang in front of her without her permission.
But Andy had never rejected Han Tao since she met him. Not only did she not reject holding hands in the elevator, she even took the initiative to hug him.
Although those times were not mixed with love between men and women and were all caused by emotional excitement, Andy knew that this was what Qu Xiaoxiao said, that two people in love are attracted to each other by hormones and want to be close to each other instead of instinctively avoiding each other.
Han Tao brought her relaxation and peace of mind, and gave her the greatest encouragement and comfort whenever she needed it most. As a result, when the two of them were together, she gradually relaxed, became more and more comfortable, and no longer worried about gains and losses.
However, if Andy were asked to confirm her relationship with Han Tao now, she would be a little hesitant. After all, although she had a good impression of Han Tao before, she was a novice in love and had never taken the next step. Now that there was a sudden substantial breakthrough, she didn't know how to handle their relationship for a while.
………………
At the same time, Han Tao in the living room just remembered to check the system message. Ding~ Congratulations to the host for obtaining 10 points of goodwill from Andy, the heroine of "Ode to Joy", and a total of 100 points of goodwill (complete strategy). The system rewards 200 million. Please keep up the goodwill, be brave enough to contact film and television characters, and complete the system tasks conscientiously!
Ding~~ Congratulations to the host for completing one of the main tasks, "Sisters United" (This task is the main task and can be completed in stages. Completion conditions:
The favorability of the heroines in the same film and television dramas has all increased to more than 90 points, similar to "Nothing But Thirty ~ Completed", "The Best Years ~ Completed", "Ode to Joy ~ Completed", "Where the Wind Is ~ To Be Completed", etc., and the heroines recognize the host from the bottom of their hearts.
System Rewards: 1. Physical Enhancement: Increase overall quality by one level. 2. Real Estate Reward (a 1400-square-meter villa on the Sheshan Island in Shanghai). 3. 3.5% equity in Shengxuan Group (acquired by Red Star Capital, equity transfer procedures in progress).
After checking the system message, Han Tao smiled slightly. Although he didn't have any first-time crushes, the girl he was with was the first one that no man would dislike.
After Andy put on his clothes, he also picked up his phone and checked it. There were many missed calls, most of which were from Lao Tan and Wei Wei.
After thinking about it, Andy called Lao Tan back and told him that he was fine and in good condition now, so he asked him not to worry. He also said that he would get back to work as soon as he returned.
Tan Zongming was concerned about her situation and didn't care about her work, so he showed concern and offered some advice. After confirming that Andy was fine, he hung up the phone.
As for Wei Wei's missed call, Andy didn't want to call back at all, because she didn't want to pay any attention to the other party at this time. If Wei Wei hadn't acted on his own, she wouldn't have been so upset.
Andy has already understood that she and Wei Wei cannot have a normal relationship. The obstacle is not because of the shadow of genetics, but because she can never be truly happy with Wei Wei and has never really liked Wei Wei.
If she really liked him, she would not resist Wei Wei's touch. So before, whenever Wei Wei touched her, Andy would have emotional fluctuations, but this never happened when she was with Han Tao.
Just like Qu Xiaoxiao said, if a person can't make you laugh before marriage, can you expect him to make you laugh after marriage?
