The plan to perform a play for Qi Yan was pre-arranged. Not only would they perform, but Qi Yan and Tai Yue would also perform, and Tai Yue and the others would also perform, forming a perfect closed loop of permutations and combinations to showcase their acting skills.
The only audience member was Geng Keli.
The sole director, screenwriter, producer, and technical advisor – Tong Zhao.
How can this not be considered returning to old ways...?
Previously, they had to navigate between two families and improvise at any time under the surveillance of various informants. Now, they only have to play one person, so it's a piece of cake.
While sitting in the car discussing the details of the "temporary script" with Qi Yan, Tong Zhao suddenly tilted her head and asked Shan Song, "Won't it seem strange to Geng Keli if we suddenly make a move?"
"No, this is the time to take advantage of the chaos." Shan Song spoke with righteous indignation, which stunned Tong Zhao for a long time. Was he talking about taking advantage of the chaos instead of punishing evil?
Dan Song caught a glimpse of his wife's changing expressions out of the corner of his eye. A smile curved his lips. He held the steering wheel with one hand, intending to pat her head with the other. Just then, his phone dinged. Dan Song's gaze instinctively turned to her, and after seeing the message, his hand, which was hanging in the air, changed direction and handed her the phone that was flashing a notification: "It's Geng Qiushi. Please reply for your husband."
“Okay!” Tong Zhao took the phone and fiddled with it. “He asked when we would arrive? He also said that Geng Keli’s men are already watching us…” Tong Zhao read the message and became more and more confused. “He already found out that Geng Keli’s men are watching us, can’t he also check where we are?”
Just as Shan Song was about to speak, Tong Zhao realized something: "Ah, he's urging us, isn't he?" After saying that, he looked through the chat history and found that it confirmed his guess. So he turned his head and asked, "Is he in a hurry? He's urged us twice already. It's not like his usual personality."
Could there be a problem? Tong Zhao frowned slightly, but found that Shan Song's expression didn't show any worry. Instead, his eyes showed encouragement: "Guess again."
Tong Zhao pondered for a moment: "He has everything prepared and is just waiting for us to push him forward before proceeding to the next step? I remember you said that the port project he was previously targeted for has been developing quite rapidly recently. Is that related?"
Dan Song smiled with satisfaction: "There is a certain connection. Geng Qiu had intentionally or unintentionally released signals to warn the Geng family before this. Going back even further, it was when that small port project was completed."
The timing is critical. The closer we get to the baby's birth, the more cautious the Geng family becomes with Qin Chong, and the more nervous they are about any outside disturbances. Geng Qiushi can't hold out for long, and we need to draw their attention away from him as soon as possible.
With Geng Qiushi's groundwork laid, the rest of the Geng family would naturally assume that our actions aligned with Geng Qiushi's goals.
Tong Zhao nodded thoughtfully: "I see."
Once news of their connection with Qi Yan reaches Geng Keli's ears, he will turn his attention to them, then instigate a conflict between Tai Yue and Qi Yan. This will reduce the Qi family's support for the Shan family, making it more difficult for them to deal with Geng Keli. Geng Keli will most likely seize this opportunity to suppress them relentlessly.
Suddenly, Tong Zhao had a flash of inspiration, and his thoughts became much clearer. Geng Qiushi was suspected of having a way to transfer Qin Chong's child's shares, and the core plan revolved around helping him fight for the family fortune. He and Shan Song exposed Geng Keli, Tai Yue pretended to betray him, Qi Yan was responsible for passing on information and handling company affairs, and Jiang Li's addition made up for Geng Keli's lack of trust in Tai Yue. Everyone was playing their part in this play, and all that was left was for the word "action".
He turned to look at Shan Song, and their eyes met. Shan Song was clearly not going to be taken advantage of for nothing; he looked confident and didn't seem to need to ask any more questions.
However, instead of asking, Shan Song actively shared: "Geng Qiushi will eventually make up for the lost business, but as soon as we take action, the Geng family will retaliate, and Shan's stock price will really drop. This part still needs to be recorded in Geng Qiushi's account. Give him a hint in advance, and then make them pay it back."
"..." So that's where it landed. No wonder it's Chairman Shan.
Shan Song's plan was meticulous, and over the next few days, everything proceeded smoothly and according to plan. After realizing that Shan Song and Qi Yan intended to help Geng Qiushi counter him, Geng Keli, as they expected, almost put his scheme on the table. Shan Song, naturally, countered by "exposing the movie star's chaotic private life".
While it's called a leak, it's more like baseless gossip, just a heads-up for netizens.
To maximize the value of the evidence obtained from Qin Chong, the timing and degree of control must be carefully managed. Releasing all the evidence at this point would do more harm than good, essentially giving the Geng family enough time to extricate Geng Keli from the whole incident. The most important and decisive evidence should be released when things are most chaotic and the Geng family is too exhausted to deal with it.
While keeping an eye on the online public opinion, Shan Song also dealt with Geng Keli to stabilize the company's stock price. The entire group was practically on "level one combat readiness." Tong Zhao, after all, was a newcomer to the business and couldn't keep up with their pace.
After running around for two days, I felt like a little accessory, or in other words, I was basically useless. But that's just right, because he has another very special thing to do recently.
The notice to join the crew was postponed, giving Tong Zhao plenty of time to exercise. After finishing her morning workout, before Shan Song had even left, Tong Zhao walked to the dining table and said, "Honey, I'm not going to the company today. I'm going to Grandma's house. Remember to come over for dinner tonight."
Shan Song looked up from his emails and said gently, "Yeah, go have some fun. You must have been bored these past few days, right?"
"No, no," Tong Zhao said with a smile, "Is there anything you'd like to order? I can tell Grandma."
"Just eat what Zhaozhao likes."
"Then I'll make you an ice cream cake!" Tong Zhao made the decision. He had recently learned to make Italian handmade ice cream. On a hot summer day, a fruity ice cream dessert with refreshing mint would be perfect after dinner. Dan Song would definitely like it.
"Okay." Shan Song was charmed by his wife's adorable tone: "Give me a kiss, I'm going to work now."
"Chirp~"
Watching Shan Song's car leave, and only after confirming that he could no longer see her, Tong Zhao jumped up and down, took out her phone and typed a message: "[I'm coming right away!]" Then she excitedly rushed into the house, even rubbing the little birds as she passed by.
It's rare to see Tong Zhao so lively when he's alone. Uncle Xu was watering the flowers and saw him passing by. He smiled and said, "Young Master Zhao, why are you so happy today?"
As soon as Tong Zhao entered the house, a round head popped out of the window near Uncle Xu's side: "We're going to Grandma's house today, Uncle Xu, do you want to come along?"
"Haha, no need, let Xiao Si accompany Young Master Zhao Zhao."
Xiao Si? Oh, it's Uncle Tie.
Tong Zhao responded and then happily went to pack her things.
After a while, Uncle Xu belatedly realized something was wrong. Although Young Master Zhao Zhao was happy when he went to his grandmother's house before, he didn't seem to be this excited.
A moment later, Tong Zhao came out carrying bags of things, one on the left and one on the right. Uncle Xu was speechless. How long was he going to stay?
Young Master, Young Master Zhao Zhao is running away from home!
