This time, Shan Song was truly dedicated to teaching Zhou Xinlin step by step. Zhou Muyuan suspected him of having ill intentions several times, but after investigating for a long time, he still found nothing and could only wait and see.
Meanwhile, Tong Zhao also completed the signing process and was preparing to join the production team early to familiarize herself with the crew and get to know them better before starting work.
The announcement shows that Tong Zhao's scenes are scattered and take up more than three months. Although he plays another villainous cannon fodder role, he has quite a lot of screen time this time. He is a cannon fodder who is active from beginning to end, and is finally taught a lesson by the protagonist, leading to a tragic ending. The salary he received for the contract is quite considerable for Tong Zhao.
The previous producer, Shan Song, had investigated and confirmed it was indeed a coincidence. To be on the safe side, Shan Song sent several more bodyguards to secretly follow Tong Zhao this time.
Tong Zhao knew his concerns and had no objections. She promised to try not to act alone and to stay close to Uncle Tie and Xiao Wen.
The only disagreement was that Tong Zhao didn't plan to use the RV that Shan Song had prepared when he set off. After all, it wouldn't be good for a minor celebrity to be too extravagant, and what if his spies saw him living so well and became suspicious?
But Shan Song insisted and gave her plenty of excuses: "You can't run away anyway, so what's wrong with making yourself more comfortable with so much money? If the Qin family asks, just say that I beat and scolded you. Go out and hide. Think about it, now that you've escaped my clutches, shouldn't you enjoy yourself? As for Zhou Muyuan, don't worry about him. He'd love for me to be unhappy, and maybe he'll give you more money. The people in the crew don't know who you married, so just say your husband bought it for you."
Tong Zhao was finally convinced and whispered, "My husband bought it for me anyway, so it's not like I'm lying."
Dan Song softened at his rambling and patted his head: "I won't see you off this time. Message me when you get to the film set."
Tong Zhao gave him a hug: "You need to be mindful of your time while you're busy with work and get some rest."
"Okay, I'll be going now."
As Shan Song turned to leave, Tong Zhao felt a little reluctant to part with him. It would be three months before they met again, and she stared at Shan Song longingly.
Dan Song sighed as he looked at the omega in the car window, whose eyes were slightly red and who was trying hard to hold back tears. He turned around and cupped Tong Zhao's small face in his hands: "How can I leave in peace with this?"
Tong Zhao struggled slightly, then lowered her head and rubbed against Shan Song's chest without saying a word, but Shan Song could tell at a glance that she was being coquettish: "How about we video chat tonight?"
A muffled "hmm" came from her arms.
"Honey, don't let anyone bully you when you get to the set. After this scene is finished, I might be able to settle things with the Zhou family. Then I can openly visit my wife on set when we're filming again, okay?"
"Okay." Tong Zhao seemed to have calmed down a bit and responded, while feeling a deep sense of disgust for his inexplicable vulnerability. He would never have been like this before; it felt so fake, like he was deliberately acting. He sniffed, "I'm sorry for making you worry. I don't know what's wrong with me either. Isn't it strange?"
Shan Song hugged him tighter, but still not enough, so he simply lifted him up by the waist against the car door. After making sure their eyes met, he said seriously, "It's not strange. It's because our Zhaozhao has someone who cares about her. It's normal for a child to like to act cute with someone they trust. I'm very happy."
Tong Zhao's face went blank for a moment, then she felt her eyes well up with tears and her vision blurred. This time, she was really about to cry.
Dan Song gently brushed his eyelids with her thumb, then kissed them, patting his back repeatedly. Her coaxing voice made him blush. Tong Zhao's feelings of being moved were quickly overwhelmed by shyness.
"I...I'm all done." Tong Zhao struggled to get off Shan Song, and after running a few steps to cover up her mistake, she said, "My makeup is ruined. I'll go touch it up. Be careful on your way."
Dan Song smiled and waited for him to run into the villa gate, turn around, and say hello before leaving.
Not long after he left, Tong Zhao also headed to the film set. He had already adjusted his emotions, or rather, with Shan Song gone, he didn't seem to need anyone to comfort him as much. Tong Zhao bit his lip and began to reflect, wondering why he felt like he had become a bit too saccharine after playing so many scheming, manipulative characters...
No, no, this can't be. Shan Song has been too lenient with him. He can't afford to become too arrogant because of this favor.
Upon arrival, they stayed at a hotel arranged by the production crew, so there was no need for special treatment. This helped Tong Zhao get to know everyone in the crew except for the main characters. Then, she returned to her room to wait for the director's instructions.
Most announcements are posted in the group chat. There are seven or eight group chats for the crew, and messages must be kept in mind. The previous assistant was not very responsible, so he did it all himself. Now, Xiao Wen has Tong Zhao's phone and knows every schedule by heart, so he doesn't need to worry about it at all.
I don't know where Xiaowen learned it, but she does her job as an assistant very professionally. It seems that everyone around Shansong is like that. Each of them seems to be able to arrange things in an orderly manner. Sure enough, if the boss is good, the employees he leads will also be good.
Tong Zhao asked Xiao Wen for her phone and used it to let Shan Song know she was safe.
Dan Song seemed to have been waiting for a message, replying instantly: "[Have Xiao Wen order whatever you like for dinner. There are a few private restaurants in the area that can deliver. Take good care of yourself. (Smoothing a kitten's fur.jpg)]"
[Okay, husband. Kitten saluting.jpg]
Tong Zhao stared at the message she had sent for a long time, then put her phone face down, covered her face with her hands, and started calling him "husband" more and more skillfully.
Not long after, a group meeting notice was sent in the group chat, and Tong Zhao packed up and rushed over.
The director organized a script reading and a simple rehearsal to help them familiarize themselves with the character requirements and the filming process. Tong Zhao felt that the overall atmosphere of the crew was pretty good. He heard that the male lead would be delayed and would join the crew a little later. The others didn't seem to be treating him badly at the moment. He just hoped that things would be more harmonious for the next three months. Tong Zhao didn't ask for much. As long as they didn't cricket in his face, he could pretend he didn't hear them.
After explaining the makeup trial arrangements for tomorrow, today's group meeting came to an end. Tong Zhao returned to his room, flopped onto the bed for a while, and then went to wash up. Xiao Wen and Uncle Tie couldn't stay with him; they were staying on the other side of the same floor, not too far away. Shan Song had also arranged other bodyguards upstairs and downstairs, so the security level was excellent.
He just wasn't used to it at night. The night before Tong Zhao left, Shan Song added a mark to him. Now, even after removing the barrier, he could still smell a strong pheromone scent, which showed how much he had been injected with.
Tong Zhao crawled into bed, took a few deep breaths, and just then her phone rang:
It's a video call from Dansong.
Tong Zhao sat up and clicked to connect.
"Are you already asleep?" Shan Song's gentle voice echoed in the empty room.
Tong Zhao shook her head: "I just lay down, and I'm not used to it yet. How about you?"
"I just got home and I'm feeding the chicks. I came to see Daddy." Shan Song turned the camera to the two little guys in his palm.
Although she knew the last sentence was addressed to the two little parrots, Tong Zhao's cheeks still inexplicably flushed.
He paused for a moment, then suddenly thought of something: "What if they don't recognize me when I go back?"
Dan Song seemed to think about it seriously for a while, and finally said reluctantly, "Then I'll let them smell some of my wife's pheromones."
As she spoke, she got up and, a moment later, took a towel from Tong Zhao and placed it in the incubator.
"..."
Shan Song smiled and said, "I have my wife's pajamas, I won't fight over them."
"..." Tong Zhao was extremely embarrassed and annoyed, but she was reluctant to hang up, so she could only turn the camera slightly to show a bit of her forehead and eyebrows.
Dan Song's laughter came again: "I'm going to take a shower. Do you want to bring Zhao Zhao in?"
"..."
"It seems like we should."
Talking to himself, Tong Zhao pursed her lips and did not refute.
Hearing the pattering sound of the shower coming from across the room, the omega, huddled under the covers, swallowed hard, put down his phone, quietly got out of bed, and rummaged through his luggage.
A moment later, she lay back down on the bed wearing her light blue pajamas.
