With Miao Zhu's witty remarks and skillful maneuvering, Tong Zhao was stunned and won the first collaboration.
No wonder they were trained by Shan Song...
"See? It's very simple."
After lunch, Miao Zhu continued to earnestly remind Tong Zhao of the details that needed special attention, and finally concluded: "Little Tong will definitely be fine to come by himself this afternoon!"
Tong Zhao managed a weak "Ah?"
Is that okay?
“These days, Chairman Shan has been personally guiding you, and I have benefited a lot from it. You will definitely succeed.”
"Miao Zhu, I—"
"Okay!"
"..."
Forced into the meeting room, Xiao Tong reluctantly embarked on what Jiang Li had described as at least half an hour of cooperation negotiations.
Tong Zhao's assessment of this was that he died half an hour ago.
Shan.
Chairman's Office.
Shan Song was amused by Tong Zhao's vivid description and couldn't stop laughing. If he weren't still maintaining his position as chairman, he might have laughed himself to death under the table.
Tong Zhao, who suffered a crushing defeat in her first battle, sat in front of him with a blank face and a smile on her face. It was so awkward!
Dan Song endured it all, using every ounce of his self-control he had ever mustered, until under his wife's gaze, he pressed his fist against his barely suppressed lip, forcing a passable expression of seriousness: "Miao Zhu went too far, husband will dock his pay... hahahahaha~"
Tong Zhao: "..."
Is that the problem?
"Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore." Shan Song pinched Tong Zhao's puffed-up cheeks as she lay on the table, patiently comforting her, "It's normal to fail the first time. Even a big boss like your husband can't succeed every time he negotiates, right?"
Tong Zhao pouted, shifted his position, and turned his back to Shan Song, saying, "It's different. You don't even have a teacher." He had someone as capable as Shan Song teaching him step by step, yet he still failed... Tong Zhao circled on the proposal, reviewing his mistakes from today.
“It’s different. My husband just has a bit of talent in business. If Zhao Zhao had been caught out on her first try, what would have happened to Chairman Shan’s reputation?” Shan Song leaned over the desk and gently comforted her, “Many things depend on experience. No matter what kind of teacher you are, no matter how solid your theoretical foundation is, it won’t work without practical experience. Besides, it’s possible that some companies might look down on Zhao Zhao because she’s inexperienced. Let’s try again tomorrow. Once you find the trick, it will be easy.”
"Won't Zhao Zhao be defeated by this little difficulty?"
"Are you trying to coax a child?" Tong Zhao thought to herself. For some reason, hearing Shan Song say this always gave her the feeling of hearing a fairy tale ending where "the hero defeats the dragon with his honesty and courage." Ugh, so melodramatic!
Tong Zhao shook his head and obediently replied, "No."
"That's fine then, don't think about it anymore, your husband will be with you tomorrow."
"What a huge favor it would be to have the chairman accompany me just to discuss a cooperation. Wouldn't the other company also have to send its chairman?" Tong Zhao thought about it and decided against it: "Let Miao Zhu accompany me instead!"
After a pause, Tong Zhao thought of what the man had just said and reminded him, "Don't deduct people's wages arbitrarily. Today's problem is my own."
"No, I was just teasing Zhao Zhao."
"..." At this point, it's best not to speak the truth!
The recorded version of the show aired its final episode in mid-September. Due to Geng Keli's personal issues, the editors worked overtime overnight to cut the couple, Geng and Qin, out of the main program. However, since the show had already aired its tenth episode, the impact on the overall program was not significant.
To make up for the lack of time, Tong Zhao and Shan Song went to film a few more interview segments as bonus footage. When they returned and saw the cabin, they felt as if they had been transported to another world. In just a few months, the courtyard outside the cabin had completely transformed. The cherry tomatoes were now trellised and the shrubs were neatly arranged in sections, adorned with all kinds of brightly colored fruits, giving it a charming rural feel.
Tong Zhao looked longingly at the autumn colors in the garden: "Once the online 'Happy Little Family' competition is over, we'll come over and pick all these fruits!"
Shan Song simply reached out and grabbed a handful of fruit, handing it to Tong Zhao without any romantic gesture: "Eat up, they're homegrown, all-natural."
Suddenly, a bald patch appeared in the viewfinder's previously harmonious image. Tong Zhao looked at Dan Song, then at Guo Zi, and couldn't help but twitch his lips.
Meanwhile, the rivalry between the Geng brothers gradually came to an end. Geng Qiushi withstood the pressure from his parents, but there were still disagreements on the disposal of shares. In the end, both sides compromised. Geng Qiushi gave up pursuing Geng Keli's criminal charges, and Geng's parents transferred the maximum share, which was 10% of the shares, to Geng Qiushi. With the shares left by the old man in the trust for the heirs, Geng Qiushi firmly secured his position as the head of the Geng family.
Even more gratifying is that, due to public pressure, the plan originally intended by Geng Keli's parents to send him abroad failed to be implemented, and Geng Keli still needs to face a three-year prison sentence.
Although the suffering endured in just three years was insignificant compared to the torment of the victims he had persecuted, considering the practicalities, the generous money that Geng's parents spent on the letter of forgiveness was indeed needed by many families... Tong Zhao thought about it for a long time and finally decided to respect their choice.
Anyway, once Geng Keli is released from prison, he will definitely be sent abroad by Geng Qiushi. At that time, his family's Chairman Shan will have plenty of ways to make him pay for his previous mistakes.
If Shan Song knew he was thinking this way, she'd shower him with praise, saying things like, "That's exactly how it should be done! If not now, when?" or "Zhao Zhao is so great, making such good use of resources!"
Just like when he finally reached an agreement on the third time after two failures, he praised it to the skies, making it seem like he had achieved a major project with several small goals.
Tong Zhao glanced at the aloof and stern-faced Director Shan in the next conference room, secretly snapped a picture with her phone, and just as she finished editing the caption and clicked send, Jiang Li's message popped up at the top of her phone screen with a "ding," still in Jiang Li's unabashedly polite style: [Ah Zhao, you and Xiao Shan quickly prepare to receive them, my brother and I are coming to visit tonight!]
Tong Zhao replied with a smile: 【Yes, Xiao Dan and Xiao Tong will definitely treat this great contributor well!】
In the end, we really owe a lot to Jiang Heng.
Originally, the Geng brothers' power grab was not progressing so quickly. While they were at the manor, the brothers' struggle had already reached a fever pitch. However, due to the overwhelming power of the Geng family's ancestors, Geng Qiushi was unable to make any progress, which left him stuck in an awkward position on the board of directors.
Jiang Heng played a crucial catalytic role at this time, and after the matter was accomplished, Jiang Heng keenly noticed the unusual nature of the Geng family.
After some investigation, they discovered that something had happened to Qin Chong.
Tong Zhao had been worried that Qin Chong would run into trouble, and now it seemed to have come true. However, it wasn't because Qin Chong betrayed them, but because Geng Keli had gone mad and wanted the child to be born early to seize the shares, so he sent the person to the operating table ahead of time.
Fortunately, Jiang Heng discovered it in time, and this insane plan was not carried out.
However, Qin Chong was still affected, and his child was born prematurely at nine months. Fortunately, by then the matter had been settled, and the shareholding change did not have a substantial impact on Geng Qiushi.
After the child was taken away by Geng's parents, Qin Chong, relying on this nominal future heir, obtained a large sum of money from both the Geng family and Geng Qiushi before quickly leaving the country. According to Shan Song, all the shares Qin Chong intended to gain from the Qin family were taken by them. This person probably knew this, as he has not questioned it to this day and has since disappeared without a trace.
Tong Zhao was unaware of and did not care about what happened afterward. Now, there was only one last thing left: his family's Director Shan was helping him collect a debt from the Qin family.
