Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

Guan Juer nodded. What Andy said was indeed very simple. This was the year-end summary routine for most company employees, so she also found a direction.

Qu Xiaoxiao also encountered difficulties. After a period of hard work and planning, the acquisition of Xie Group has reached a critical moment. Although these tasks are handled by a professional team, Qu Xiaoxiao, the boss, cannot ignore it.

But for Qu Xiaoxiao, these materials seem to be a headache, because they also involve personnel arrangements for the company's management after the merger and acquisition, solutions for the original employees and other related issues.

Qu Xiaoxiao had thought about being a hands-off boss, but she extinguished the idea as soon as it appeared. If she didn't persist after Han Tao helped her so much, she would never get her father's true recognition.

This is the thing that Qu Xiaoxiao can't accept the most. Over the years, her father has always favored her brother Qu Lianjie. He would rather lose all his property than to cultivate Qu Lianjie into a talent. And her grandmother only recognizes Qu Lianjie. She doesn't let Qu Xiaoxiao and her daughter go back to their hometown for dinner during the holidays.

As the saying goes, if you can't even make money, you have to prove yourself. Since you have chosen to start your own company, you have to achieve some results. This is also the reason why Han Tao does not give her too much help. After all, Qu Xiaoxiao's goal is to prove that she is better than her brother.

Chapter 651: Lucky or Unlucky (1)

In the early morning, in Qingxi Town, Ningcheng City, Linjiang Province, 200 kilometers away from Shanghai, a green river flows slowly past Wanjiazhuang. The misty clouds flowing on the river surface are lingering among the countryside and the mountain forests, like a dream and a painting.

At this time, a row of cars drove into the village. The houses on both sides of the road were ancient and quaint. Seeing this wedding car team, many young people talked about it, because the leading wedding car was an Audi, and the wedding car team was actually two BMW 7 Series.

He Xingfu, who was in the first car, looked at the slogan signs on both sides of the road with a look of longing: "Everyone for Wanjia, Wanjia for Everyone". This is Wanjiazhuang, the richest village in the surrounding area, and it is a place where many girls want to marry.

He Xingyun was wearing a violet dress and was also looking at the clear mountains and green waters and propaganda slogans outside the window, but her mentality was completely different from her sister's. She felt guilty and unworthy about her sister marrying Wang Qinglai.

Of course, the reason was not that He Xingyun looked down on her brother-in-law. In the past, she didn't want to stay in the mountains. She looked down on those farmers who had not attended college. She felt that she was different from them, and she wanted to live with pride.

But ever since she became famous, especially after traveling to many places with Han Tao and participating in many cases, her mentality has changed drastically.

What's more, she has also experienced hardships. When she just graduated, she was always busy looking for a job and couldn't even afford to rent a house for a few hundred yuan.

Although he had a good resume and excellent academic performance, he was rejected by many law firms during interviews because he did not continue his postgraduate studies. The reason for the rejection was always "not enough academic qualifications."

But He Xingyun had no choice. Her father died when she was very young, leaving her, her mother and her sister to depend on each other. Because they had no one to rely on, He Xingfu, the eldest sister, dropped out of school before finishing junior high school to earn money to support her own studies.

It was not until she graduated from university that her sister arranged to get married. At that age, marriage was already late in the village, so He Xingyun really didn't want to continue studying, as that would only drag down her sister even more.

Fortunately, she met Han Tao, who did not despise her low academic qualifications and allowed her to be his intern. He Xingyun believed that she would soon be able to bring her mother and sister Xingfu to live in the city.

But her sister suddenly got engaged and married, which caught He Xingyun off guard. According to her mother, the Wang family gave her a lot of betrothal gifts, and her sister also told her to develop in Shanghai with peace of mind, and that her family would definitely not hold her back. This made He Xingyun even more worried about her complicated thoughts.

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

At the same time, in the village, the home of the groom Wang Qinglai was already full of guests, and the yard was decorated with lights and colorful lanterns. When the children shouted that the bride was coming, firecrackers were set off, making it very lively.

Wang Qinglai's father Wang Youde and mother Lin Guizhi were greeting guests in the yard. When they heard that the bride had returned, they hurriedly told their daughter to bring some snacks to He Xingfu and her sister to fill their stomachs. After all, the ceremony had not started yet and dinner would not be until noon.

Inside the bridal chamber, the bride He Xingfu was talking to her sister He Xingyun. Although she didn't know how much the car that sent her sister back and attended the wedding ceremony cost, she could tell from its appearance that it was very expensive.

"Xingyun, tell me what's going on between you and your director? You're just an assistant, why would he send someone and a car for no reason? You haven't broken up with Daxun yet, so don't give me any trouble!

Although our family is small, we are also down-to-earth and honest. You can't stay in a big city for a few years and not learn the good things, but instead pick up all kinds of bad habits."

Hearing her sister's words, He Xingyun knew that she had misunderstood. She couldn't help but cover her forehead and explained:

"Sister, what are you talking about? I'm not the same assistant as you understand. Strictly speaking, I'm an intern personally led by Teacher Han, so he is my teacher, do you understand?"

"You've already graduated, haven't you? What's the point of a mentor? We're not in school. Besides, an assistant is just a secretary. You're paid to do the work anyway. Don't think I don't understand."

He Xingfu glared at her sister. In her opinion, there was no difference between the two. Assistants and secretaries were both doing odd jobs for the boss anyway.

This made He Xingyun laugh and cry, because her sister had never been exposed to these things, so it was normal that she didn't know. Compared with secretaries, assistants were responsible for more administrative matters, such as handling administrative affairs, drafting contracts, drafting lawyers' letters, etc., which secretaries could not do.

"My dear sister, our profession is different. Trainee lawyers and supervising lawyers are not simply superiors and subordinates. This has nothing to do with whether or not they are paid. It's not just about money; it's about the future. That's why the mentor-apprentice relationship in the legal profession is very important."

Having said that, He Xingfu took a sip of water. Seeing that his sister was still a little confused, he could only continue to explain patiently:

"Let me put it this way. Law is a profession that values ​​practice. Whether you're a trainee lawyer or a licensed salaried lawyer, you must constantly learn from the experts around you in order to grow.

This is why I always say that Mr. Han is my benefactor, because he is a stepping stone in my life. If I can complete my internship as Mr. Han's apprentice and obtain my lawyer's license, it means that I can also grow rapidly with the help of my master's connections."

"Although I don't quite understand what you're saying, I get the general idea. You're now your director's student, just like the craftsmen in the village—a good teacher produces a good student!"

"That's what I mean!"

He Xingyun nodded, and did not continue to discuss this issue with her sister. Instead, she said with some guilt:

"Sister, I still feel that you are too hasty in getting married. You haven't made a good choice for your lifelong event. It's all my fault that I'm dragging you down..."

He Xingfu rolled her eyes at her sister again and said unhappily, "What nonsense! I'm not some rich lady, what choice do I have? Even if there's a Prince Charming, it won't be your sister's turn.

And I want to tell you, you have never been a burden to me. In my heart, as long as you have a good job, find someone who loves and cares about you, and marry well, that is better than anything else."

"In my heart, my sister deserves the best, but my brother-in-law is too honest, even a little cowardly..."

He Xingyun had heard a little about his sister's in-laws and brother-in-law. Although their family conditions were considered good in the village, everyone said that the Wang family was a bit cowardly and liked to flatter the village officials, so he was really worried about his sister's married life.

"How can you talk like that, kid? What's wrong with being honest? What I like about him is his honesty and hard work. He doesn't smoke or gamble."

"Sister, aren't our requirements a bit too low? I'm really worried that if something happens at home in the future, there won't even be anyone to stand up for you!"

"What's the point of being prominent or not? Farmers just need to be down-to-earth and live a down-to-earth life. There's no need to worry about so many things!"

"sister…………"

"No more talking, no more talking, I think there's someone important outside!"

Chapter 652: Lucky or Unlucky (2)

At the gate of Wang Qinglai's house, Wang Qinglai's younger brother Wang Qingzhi led a few people into the yard and shouted to his parents:

"Dad, Mom, come out and see, Brother Chuanjia is here!"

Upon hearing this, the old couple of the Wang family went to greet him, muttering happily:

"Hey, the family heir is here, please come in, please come in!"

"Congratulations! Today is my brother Qinglai's big day, so I have to come and join in the fun. Here, take the red envelope."

The man who came was none other than Wan Chuanjia, the son of the secretary of Wanjiazhuang and the general manager of the Mingxing Village enterprise. However, this man did not look like a boss at all. Instead, he looked sloppy and like a gangster.

Especially his words and actions, which always seem so childish and completely lack the maturity that an adult should have. In the words of his father Wan Shantang, he does not look like a cadre.

However, this Wan Chuan family was not what Wang Qinglai's parents saw. Especially after seeing the big red envelope, they nodded and said excitedly:

"Oh, no, no, it's a great honor for you to come to our house!"

"Okay, don't be polite, just take it!"

"This... well, thank you for giving me so much!"

After that, the old couple greeted Wan Chuanjia and his younger brothers like servants and walked towards the main table, asking when Secretary Wan would arrive.

Wan Chuanjia said nonchalantly that his father, Secretary Wan Shantang, had gone to the county for a meeting. He would definitely come if he could, but there was nothing he could do if he couldn't.

At this moment, the emcee on the stage looked at his hand, picked up the microphone, walked to the center, looked at the lively crowd below and said:

"The auspicious time has arrived, the wedding is about to begin, we would like to invite..."

"Etc., etc……"

Before the emcee could finish his words, Wang Qinglai's mother, Lin Guizhi, hurriedly ran up to the stage and said, "Don't start, don't start, you can't start yet!"

Because the time was arranged in advance by the Wang family elders, the emcee asked in confusion, "Aunt, it's time, why aren't you starting yet?"

Lin Guizhi looked at the audience and the entrance, and whispered to the emcee, "Secretary Wan hasn't arrived yet, so we have to wait for him!"

"Oh fine!"

The emcee nodded speechlessly and blankly, then turned and ran to the room where He Xingfu was, opened the curtain and told her to wait.

He Xingyun looked at the time and asked why. His wife said that He Xingfu's mother-in-law said that Secretary Wan had not arrived yet, so the ceremony could not be held and asked them to wait for a while.

This action made He Xingyun a little puzzled, so he looked at his sister He Xingfu and asked:

"Sister, getting married is not like holding a village committee meeting, why are you waiting for the secretary?"

He Xingfu was also a little puzzled, so he shook his head: "I don't know, but if they ask me to wait, then I'll just wait. Maybe there's something different going on in Wanjiazhuang!"

"What's the different way of saying it?"

Today was his sister's wedding day, and He Xingyun was very dissatisfied with the Wang family's behavior. He complained, "This is inexplicable. They are really a family of flatterers. It's not like they are marrying a daughter-in-law to the secretary, so why are they waiting for the secretary?"

"Don't grumble. Now that we're here, we should just make the best of it. If they don't start, there's no point in getting anxious!"

"I'm not anxious, I just feel sorry for you. How can you wait for someone when the wedding is about to start?"

"Alright, alright, it won't cost you any meat if you wait a little longer, just be quiet for a while!"

"Humph!"

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

Just as the two sisters were looking out the window and whispering, the villagers in the yard also became agitated. Everyone looked at the ceremony stage in confusion. It was obviously the auspicious time, so why hadn't the wedding started yet?

"Sorry everyone, Secretary Wan hasn't arrived yet. Please wait a little longer!"

"Yes, yes, hold on a little longer, everyone, have some candy, have some candy!"

When the old couple of the Wang family saw that everyone was looking at them, they hurried off the stage to distribute candies and smooth things over. They didn't look embarrassed at all, nor were they annoyed about missing the auspicious time.

Wang is a small surname in Wanjiazhuang, so it is an honor and face to invite the village secretary Wan Shantang. After all, Secretary Wan led the villagers of Wanjiazhuang into the mountains to dig stones in the early days, turning Wanjiazhuang from a poor village into a wealthy village, so he has a high prestige in the village.

"Drip drip..."

After a while, several horns were sounded outside the yard, and then a black Audi drove in. Seeing this, the villagers shouted that Secretary Wan was here.

At the bride's family's wedding banquet, Zhang Chao looked at the people getting out of the car and the class of the car, and couldn't help laughing: "Don't say, this Wanshu Book is quite big!"

Hearing this, Wang Chao, who was standing beside him, handed his old comrade a handful of melon seeds and said, "Lao Zhang, a village secretary using an Andy A6 is probably against the rules!"

"Has your brain fallen into the primeval forests of the southwest?"

Zhang Chao rolled his eyes at Wang Chao, grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and said while cracking them:

"Village cadres aren't civil servants, so there's no point in them violating regulations. As long as their money comes from a clean source, it's fine. In other words, as long as they do their essential work well, they can be considered cadres leading the way to prosperity."

"Bullshit! He's the village party secretary, and his son is the general manager of a village enterprise. If there's nothing fishy going on here, I'll eat this table!"

"You really are meddling in other people's business. Have you forgotten what our mission is? Just eat your meal honestly and stay out of other people's business!"

At this time, the villagers all stood up and looked out, so they didn't notice what Zhang Chao and the others said, while the old couple of the Wang family had already hurried to the door to greet them, with flattering looks on their faces.

"Oh, Secretary Wan, Secretary Wan, you're finally here!"

"Sister-in-law, you are blaming me for being late, right?"

Wan Shantang was wearing a black windbreaker with a snow-white shirt underneath. He was joking as he walked towards the yard.

Hearing this, Lin Guizhi quickly slapped her face and flattered with a smile: "Look, I can't speak, but what I mean is that your coming here is the greatest blessing for our family!"

Wan Shantang smiled slightly and walked towards the main table, saying, "Old sister-in-law, you've twisted your words again. Qinglai is such a big happy event, I have to come even if it rains hail and floods!"

"Yes, yes, thank you, Secretary Wan. You are still the best!"

Lin Guizhi bowed and smiled as she asked Wan Shantang to prepare the ceremony. Then she continued in a low voice, "Secretary Wan, shall we begin the ceremony?"

Wan Shantang smiled and nodded: "Start, start, don't miss the time, hurry up!"

"Okay!" Lin Guizhi nodded happily, turned around and waved to the emcee on the stage, "Xiao Yang, the secretary said start, let's start!"

The scene before him once again refreshed He Xingyun's three views. His sister's father-in-law and mother-in-law were so weird. How come they treated Secretary Wan like their own father when they saw him? They really showed their servility to the fullest.

The emcee who received the order immediately picked up the microphone, and with a smile on his face, he invited Lin Guizhi and Wang Youde to the stage, and then shouted:

"The auspicious time has arrived, and the wedding is about to begin. Let us welcome the groom, Wang Qinglai, and the bride, He Xingfu, into the venue with the warmest applause."

As soon as he finished speaking, to the sound of melodious music, Wang Qinglai and He Xingfu, accompanied by best man Wang Qingzhi and bridesmaid He Xingyun, walked to the center of the ceremony stage.

"Who's that bridesmaid next to her? She's got a nice figure!"

Secretary Wan's son Wan Chuanjia was sitting in the audience, cracking melon seeds while looking at He Xingyun, who was wearing a dress and a high ponytail. His eyes lit up especially when he saw her exposed white calves and slender waist.

Seeing the boss's interest, a younger brother immediately responded: "That's the bride's sister. She seems to be a college student!"

"A college student, don't tell me, she looks very different from a village girl, and her temperament is quite attractive!"

"Brother Chuanjia is so discerning. He can tell the difference right away. It's really beautiful!"

"You don't deserve to be beautiful. What's so beautiful about you? How can a college student like you?"

"What's wrong with being a college student? He's from the village. I'll go and toast him a glass of wine when the banquet starts, and help Brother Chuanjia find the way!"

"Hey, Director Xiaoliu, you guys should learn more from him!"
