Qi Yan thanked him and ran off. Qi Changzhou chased after him and gave him a few more reminders, which basically meant that he should control his temper and not start arguing again.
When he returned to the office, scratching his head, Shan Song had already taken Tong Zhao aside to rest. Qi Changzhou asked in surprise, "How did you know such specific details?"
Tong Zhao was also curious, blinking her bright eyes as she stared at Shan Song.
Dan Song smiled and explained, "I did know back then why Luan Yining didn't stay on to teach at the university, but I only heard about the policy from another place two years later. I just pieced things together. And wasn't I asking Qi Yan while I was talking about it?"
"The rest is just speculation. When Luan Yining was pursuing her doctorate, she also served as a tutor for Qi Yan. Qi Yan was still a minor at the time and would follow Luan Yining around. Two years later, Luan Yining changed schools and Qi Yan came of age. That's when they started communicating more closely. Two years later, Qi Yan graduated and married Luan Yining. Now, if you put the timeline together, it's actually quite clear."
"Amazing!" Qi Changzhou said admiringly, clasping his hands together. "I knew it would be useful to bring Qi Yan here. I didn't expect you to be so insightful after getting married."
"Yes, thanks to my wife." Shan Song looked down at Tong Zhao.
Qi Changzhou knew this would happen; if he kept watching, he would get jealous. So, he wisely nestled into the sofa, silently hiding his brilliance as a third wheel.
Tong Zhao was suddenly called upon. He blinked and helplessly nudged Shan Song. There was no need to take all the credit for him. What did it have to do with him? They hadn't even met back then.
This tiny bit of force was not enough to shake Shan Song in the slightest, but Shan Song was still obediently pushed down and lay on the bed with Tong Zhao in his arms.
After a while, Tong Zhao, who wasn't sleepy at all, cupped her face and complained to Shan Song, "You really are like a brat."
Dan Song chuckled. Compared to Qi Yan, the one in his arms was simply the most obedient of all.
He brushed aside Tong Zhao's slightly long, tousled hair: "Everything has its counter, Professor Luan can handle him."
"I think so too. The first time I saw him arguing with Professor Luan, I was surprised that he had such a bad temper and was arguing so fiercely, yet he managed to hold back and not hit anyone. Now I know for sure, it was just a bluff."
Shan Song recalled what Tong Zhao had told him before, and pinched his cheek as it was close to his: "In the end, you almost accidentally hurt my precious wife who was passing by."
Tong Zhao leaned on Shan Song and said, "Actually, no, I thought Professor Luan looked too thin and weak to hold him back. But now it seems that as long as Professor Luan is there, he won't dare to do it."
Dan Song hummed in agreement.
Tong Zhao whispered again, "But you were really fierce just now. I was afraid Qi Yan would cry from your scolding."
"Very fierce?"
Tong Zhao nodded, his chin repeatedly brushing against Dan Song's pectoral muscles, making them ticklish.
“You were even fiercer than before.” Tong Zhao reminded him, afraid he might forget: “You called me stupid, said my knife was useless, and that I hadn’t improved.” It was clearly still useful; it had cut Geng Keli last time, hadn’t it? Tong Zhao was now arguing his point.
Dan Song was still wondering when he had mentioned his wife, when he realized it was when they first met. He was surprised that his wife remembered it so clearly; it turned out that his initial resentment was genuine.
He propped himself up, his face full of smiles: "Holding a grudge, huh?"
"No," Tong Zhao muttered. "You're concerned, I can tell." And compared to Qi Yan today, it felt like she had clearly gone easy on him back then.
Shan Song pulled Tong Zhao's hand to his face and looked him in the eye: "You haven't been fierce since then, have you?"
Tong Zhao nodded vigorously this time, touching Shan Song's face to affirm: "No, afterwards he spoke very softly and gently."
"That's good." The Alpha, satisfied with his wife's approval, lay back down.
Tong Zhao was still staring at Shan Song's face with his head propped up. He wondered if it was because omegas naturally had a filter for their alphas, but Tong Zhao felt that Shan Song's facial features had softened a lot, making him look like someone who was always about to break the law.
The last sentence was unconsciously uttered by Tong Zhao in a low voice. Shan Song was stunned for a moment by his description, and a "Hmm?" sounded in his throat with a rising tone and obvious question.
"Huh?" Tong Zhao licked her lips. Seeing his increasingly dangerous gaze, she tried to salvage the situation, but her gaze swept around before she was tackled to the ground.
"What did you say about your husband?" Shan Song whispered a threat, his hand brushing against Tong Zhao's waist.
"I was wrong, husband, stop...it tickles!" Tong Zhao tried to dodge the tickling, but the bed was only so big, and she couldn't escape Shan Song's palm at all.
After being teased for a while, Tong Zhao finally found an opportunity, grabbed Shan Song's waist and pressed herself tightly against him, stopping his movements: "It was before, but it's especially good now."
Tong Zhao buried her face in the other's chest, her voice low and muffled, as if she had been bullied badly, and Shan Song's mind began to wander.
It's a pity, I'm still at the company, and most importantly, there's a third wheel.
Just then, the third wheel himself spoke up weakly, his voice sounding as if he had aged ten years: "Could you guys possibly pay a little attention to me, a lone wolf?"
Although you've tried to be as quiet as possible, and although the office break room is quite spacious, and although I've tried my best to close my ears, but… Qi Changzhou took a deep breath. He blamed himself; why did he have to squeeze in with this couple? Doesn't such a large company have a second break room…?
Shan Song had already turned over with his wife, whose ears were flushed with embarrassment, in his arms. His voice returned to normal, as if he were showing great mercy: "Okay."
Qi Changzhou: "..."
Seeing that the three of them were destined to have no peaceful lunch break, Shan Song simply got up and continued the topic he had been discussing with Qi Yan, saying, "I think the variety show plan is actually not bad. Releasing the news that we will participate in advance is a good gimmick. We can explain it after the show starts airing and the discussion goes up."
Seeing that he was getting serious, Qi Changzhou also started to analyze: "You guys alone definitely won't be enough to generate enough buzz. We need to consider the guest lineup and the variety show format. Divorce variety shows are obviously very dramatic and generate a lot of buzz on their own. What kind of show should we make? Or should we just participate in an established variety show that already has a large following?"
Qi Changzhou rejected the rest of his suggestion halfway through his sentence: "We still have to plan it ourselves. It would be troublesome if we brought in a third party to cooperate."
"Not necessarily, it would be better to just buy it," Shan Song said thoughtfully.
Qi Changzhou hissed, "You're certainly rich and powerful."
Then she changed her mind: "It's not entirely impossible."
Tong Zhao, seeing that the two domineering CEOs were planning to buy out the entire production team with just a few words, remained silent, thinking, "Whatever makes you happy."
"Does Zhao Zhao have any thoughts?" Shan Song asked his wife, who had been silent all along.
Tong Zhao has never participated in variety shows, but she has watched quite a few. She recalled and said, "It's best to find some guests who already have a large following. There should be some comparisons or conflicts between the guests to raise the topic. Ordinary interaction patterns may not be eye-catching enough. You can choose those that are outstanding and representative to evoke empathy from the audience, or those that the public doesn't usually encounter to increase anticipation."
"This is the most common and most effective format right now," Tong Zhao said. "The only concern is that if the content becomes too homogeneous, it will affect viewership if it airs at the same time as other programs."
“Indeed, it’s okay. We can wait for professionals to plan the market competitiveness later,” Shan Song said. “I’ll find someone to talk to the team of the most popular program first.”
“I’ll go. It would be too obvious if you went. We’ll just buy it in Qi Yan’s name. Anyway, he wants to win back his wife, so he has a legitimate reason.” Qi Changzhou said, getting up to contact someone.
"Wait a minute."
Qi Changzhou turned around and asked in confusion, "Is there anything else?"
"No rush, let's finish the work first."
"..."
