Zhou Muyuan was indeed efficient. The next day at the company, he called Shan Song for a talk. Shan Song successfully transferred Tong Zhao to Qi Yan's company according to the previous plan.
This action could not be kept secret from the Qin family. Qin Siyuan soon called to question him. At that time, Tong Zhao was still at home and had not yet left. He was sitting in the living room, being lectured by Shan Song.
"It's getting cold, so be sure to keep warm, eat and sleep on time. Two bodyguards will be on your watchful eye, but the others will remain the same as before. Also, Qi Yan has arranged a new agent for you, and it's already been added. They'll contact you when there's work. Your old company no longer needs you to be involved. Just focus on filming, and I'll pick you up and take you home when I'm done here."
Tong Zhao nodded vigorously, feeling an untimely sense of relief when the phone rang. He poked Dan Song and shoved the phone into his face: "It's my cheap older brother calling."
He didn't say it outright, but his face showed an eager expression that said, "Let me answer the phone quickly," which made Shan Song laugh: "Go ahead."
Qin Siyuan hadn't said anything when they went to film before, but this time when he called, his purpose was obvious. Tong Zhao took a deep breath: "Big brother."
"Why did you switch to the Qi family's company?"
"It was Shan Song's request. He didn't agree to me going out to act. After Uncle Zhou called me in for a talk, he changed my company." Tong Zhao said timidly, "I was just about to contact my older brother."
"You went to Zhou Muyuan for help?"
"No, I didn't. He came to me on his own initiative. He asked if I wanted to continue acting, as long as I agreed to help him keep an eye on the Qin family and Shan Song's movements." Tong Zhao's voice was very frightened. Perhaps because of the lesson learned last time, he hurriedly said as if to show his loyalty, "I didn't really mean to agree to him. I was just preparing to tell my elder brother."
There was no response on the other end of the phone, so Tong Zhao could only brace herself and say in a strained tone, "I did have selfish reasons for wanting to continue acting, which is why I didn't tell my older brother right away. But I assure you I have no ill intentions towards the Qin family, and Shan Song has indeed been very difficult to approach lately. I—"
"Alright, you can stay on set," Qin Siyuan interrupted, his tone as usual, revealing no emotion.
Tong Zhaoxin felt a chill, as if he hadn't finished speaking.
Just as he was pondering this, Qin Siyuan spoke again: "You know what to say to Zhou Muyuan. As for the others, I'll let you know."
"Okay, thank you, big brother." Tong Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.
The Qin family has passed the test!
Tong Zhao was a little happy. When she looked up, she saw Shan Song's smiling face: "When will our Zhao Zhao play a double agent? It will definitely be very interesting."
"..."
When Tong Zhao returned to the film set, she transformed into a wealthy lady. The few people who had been making a lot of noise about crickets suddenly fell silent. Qin Chong, who returned to the set a little later than her, also became well-behaved. Tong Zhao couldn't help but wonder if Qin Siyuan had spoken to her.
However, Qin Siyuan didn't call him to say anything for a long time, and it's unclear what she was planning.
In short, without any petty people bothering her, Tong Zhao was quite happy, spending her days either filming or chatting with Shan Song.
Shan Song has been busy taking advantage of her younger brother-in-law lately, and she gets home very late every day. So they don't contact each other every night. Sometimes when they can't reach each other at night, they exchange a few words, and the chat interface often turns into a message board. They reply to each message one by one when they have time.
As Shan Song had previously warned, once he had laid the groundwork, he would deliberately expose a flaw to Zhou Muyuan, thereby distancing himself from the company for a period of time, allowing the Zhou father and son to act freely, and at the same time completely dispelling any suspicion.
So Tong Zhao wasn't very surprised when he received the message. He pressed '1' and sent it. Shan Song quickly called back: "Zhao Zhao."
As usual, Tong Zhao first observed Shan Song's expression, who seemed to be in a good mood. Judging from the background, they appeared to be in a car: "Where are you going now?"
"He was exiled to Baisha."
Tong Zhao asked in surprise, "Baisha?"
“Yes, let’s go visit Zhao Zhao’s hometown.” Shan Song said with a smile, “The materials that Zhou Xinlin came to discuss before were imported here. Zhou Muyuan just got angry and scolded me, asking me to clean up his mess and make up for the gaps in the accounts.”
Tong Zhao didn't understand why he was laughing even after being scolded, but she respected his attitude.
Shan Song noticed Tong Zhao's small face and his eyes crinkled: "Don't worry, I won't let my wife and my joint property suffer any loss."
Who cares about that? Tong Zhao's eyes widened, looking like she had been wronged.
Dan Song laughed for a while before speaking again to Tong Zhao to briefly explain what had just happened.
"Zhou Muyuan discovered the discrepancy in the accounts and angrily went to find Zhou Xinlin. Zhou Xinlin was so frightened that he confessed after only a few words. He knew after a little thought that I was the one who was behind it and demanded that I cover up the discrepancy. I said I had no money, and he took advantage of this to steal a piece of the medical industry line that I used to own. Then he mocked me and sent me to Baisha to clean up Zhou Xinlin's mess."
Dan Song thought for a moment, seemingly nostalgic: "The business in Baisha was something I negotiated when Zhao Zhao and I first met. It was also the first collaboration I successfully negotiated."
Shan Song's tone even carried a hint of pride, but Tong Zhao didn't notice: "Is that line important?"
Dan Song raised an eyebrow: "It's important. Whether the Zhou family can go bankrupt quickly depends on how much effort it puts in."
"..." So it's nothing serious.
He's joking again. Was this person always this unserious?
Tong Zhao turned over, half of his body sinking into the soft blankets. The warm light shone on his face, making him look particularly gentle. His tone returned to its soft and gentle manner: "So, Zhou Muyuan is just supposed to do whatever he wants with his own methods? He's just kicking you out like this, and Zhou Xinlin doesn't need your guidance?"
Shan Song leaned back in his car seat and said, "They probably have the confidence now. If nothing unexpected happens, Zhou Muyuan will be able to acquire that piece of land in the next few days."
Tong Zhao was actually a little puzzled: "How did you and Brother Qi become so sure that Zhou Muyuan would win the bid?"
“Of course we know the inside story,” Shan Song raised an eyebrow.
"……All right."
“We can’t let Zhou Muyuan do whatever he wants. Qi Changzhou is still in Yunling. He’ll keep an eye on things. Besides, I’m planning to have him prepare a little surprise for Zhou Muyuan.”
Tong Zhao sensed from his micro-expressions that this person seemed to be up to no good. Anyway, it wasn't directed at him. Zhou Muyuan deserved it. Tong Zhao wasn't curious about what it was. His eyelids were drooping, and he quietly yawned.
Dan Song noticed: "Tired?"
"Mmm." Tong Zhao nodded, lying face down on the pillow with only her eyes showing.
"Then go to sleep, I'll watch over you."
"Okay, what time will you arrive at Baisha?"
"It's probably going to be around midnight, don't worry about me, just focus on filming."
"Okay, goodnight." Tong Zhao pulled the covers up, habitually placed her phone on the bedside table, and closed her eyes.
"Good night."
