The amount of information conveyed in the four-person chat was a bit excessive, leaving the viewers of the live chat completely confused.
What are they talking about? Qi Yan and Luan Yining seem to be doing quite well.
[It sounds like she has relationship problems... Could she be acting on purpose?]
[What merit do I possess to deserve the young master performing for me?]
[You're overthinking it. People in their position have no need to pretend.]
You're too naive.
[Aren't you supposed to be looking at houses? You're just chatting without even giving any introductions?]
We didn't chat for very long, so you can look at the houses yourself.
[Is this some kind of performance to whitewash someone's image?]
[Weren't you talking about Qi Yan and Luan Yining?]
Birds of a feather flock together, so it seems like he's the only one in the pot of rice that isn't cooked.
[Isn't that a one-sided view? These people are all from the same circle.]
Looking at Shan Song and Tong Zhao's hands, which hadn't let go since they came out, Luan Yining said, "Big brother said before that you two had a good relationship, and seeing it today, it's true."
Following his gaze, Shan Song raised his clasped hands and explained with a smile, "His hands are a little cold."
"..." Tong Zhao blushed a little and tried to pull her hand back, but Shan Song grabbed it tightly: "Let's go and look at the next one. This fireplace is nice. It should be quite warm to use, and we can also bake some food. We can choose a sofa or rocking chair around the fireplace. Do you like it?"
Tong Zhao seemed to be able to imagine some of the scene he described. He nodded: "Let's go take a look at number 3 and number 4. Number 3 seems nice, it has the feel of an old house. Number 4 will probably be a bit more shabby."
The four of them went out together, just as Jiang Li and Rong Mo rushed in. Jiang Li paused for a few seconds after seeing them, and only after realizing that they must have finished their private conversation did she step over and pull Tong Zhao away to ask, "Have you seen room number one?"
Tong Zhao glanced at the large puffs of white breath Jiang Li exhaled as she spoke, realizing they had gone in circles. He pointed in the direction they had come from: "The little villa is there; there's a sign on the back door."
"Huh?" Jiang Li exclaimed in disbelief.
Tong Zhao nodded affirmatively and said, "Have you looked at the other houses?"
"Hey, we've already looked at everything. Amo and I were looking for room number one, and we didn't expect it to be so close! Azhao, let me tell you, room number four is awful! The little wooden bed is tiny, and it's freezing cold." Jiang Li made no attempt to hide her disdain: "You'll have to make sure your husband does his best later, he absolutely can't lose."
Then, glancing at the people behind him, he pulled Tong Zhao a little further away and whispered, "Have you thought about teaming up for the game later?"
Rong Mo watched from behind as his Ah Li openly plotted, shook his head with a smile, and exchanged a few polite words with the others.
This must be because of his wife; Shan Song felt a little uneasy.
None of the people present knew much about Rong Mo. If it weren't for Jiang Li's "favor," Shan Song wouldn't have had any way to get in touch with the Rong family.
As a family that has risen to prominence in recent years, the Rong family rarely interacts with other families except for the Jiang family, so most people only know their name but never see them.
But given their formidable strength, it's impossible to say that Shan Song hadn't considered them before appearing on the show. After all, establishing a partnership with the Rong family would be beneficial both for long-term development and for dealing with the Geng family in the present.
But trying to flatter and fawn over them would definitely not work; they clearly don't buy it. Besides, Geng Keli probably has the same idea as them, so it would only backfire and annoy them, and might even jeopardize the current friendly relations.
Dan Song looked at his wife and Jiang Li, who had just taken his wife away, not far away. At this moment, the two heads were close together, talking about something. The microphones had been removed. His Zhao Zhao was unusually relaxed. Were they chatting so happily?
With a flick of his finger, Shan Song turned the camera around. This young master seemed to have a pretty high level of affection for his wife... A strange possessiveness began to rise within him. Shan Song looked away; he wasn't shameless enough to take advantage of his wife's hard-won friendship.
Moreover, Young Master Jiang may not always be as easy to talk to as he appears to others. From Shan Song's perspective, after this morning's observation, this young master may be more astute than the seasoned businessmen present in some aspects.
Furthermore, given how much Rong Mo values Jiang Li, starting with Jiang Li would definitely not end well.
These things can't be rushed. With Geng Keli's level of expertise, he shouldn't be unaware of Rong Jiang and the other's attitude. This can be seen from the fact that they stopped following Jiang Li. Their choice is most likely the same as his, and their focus will probably still be on how to deal with him and Tong Zhao.
With this in mind, Shan Song only had a simple exchange with Rong Mo about the mission, occasionally discussing safer topics such as the relationship between husband and wife.
Qi Yan understood what Shan Song meant as soon as he spoke, and cooperated with him.
Seeing that they didn't seem inclined to continue the conversation, Rong Mo raised an eyebrow. As expected of his Ah Li, she had good taste; this guy with the surname Shan was indeed more pleasing to the eye.
Tong Zhao had already heard Jiang Li's comments, from asking Qin Chong about gossip to saying, "Is he framing you? How could I believe him? A-Zhao seems more reliable."
Tong Zhao didn't know why this young master trusted him so much after only meeting him for the first time. Then he heard Jiang Li stare at his face, pat his chest, and say, "Ah Zhao's beauty is second only to mine. Good-looking people like us definitely won't do bad things!"
"..." Well, that's a very peculiar thought process.
Tong Zhao didn't know how to react, so she just blinked slowly and continued to be the young master's confidant.
Jiang Li started talking about how he dumped her under the pretense of looking for a house. After a while, she returned to the original topic, her eyes watery, and said coquettishly, "How about it? Consider cooperating. I'll definitely prioritize cooperating with A-Zhao. My A-Mo is super capable, and I think your husband should be able to too..."
"We only have one request!" Jiang Li held up one finger.
Tong Zhao asked curiously, "What are the requirements?"
Jiang Li hesitated for a moment, seemingly thinking about how to phrase his request in a way that would make it seem reasonable.
After chattering on and on for so long, it was rare to see this young master being so hesitant. Tong Zhao followed his train of thought and guessed, "You want to get first place, right?"
“That’s right!” Jiang Li’s eyes lit up instantly, and she grasped Tong Zhao’s hands. “I knew you would understand me!”
Tong Zhao was both amused and exasperated: "Sure."
"So you've agreed to cooperate, right!" Jiang Li leaned in again, her eyes practically screaming: Promise me! Promise me!
Tong Zhao felt an inexplicable urge to agree immediately, but he restrained himself and pointed to the location of Dan Song: "I need to discuss it with my husband."
Discuss it with him? Jiang Li clearly didn't think of that, but he still respected other people's wishes, and reluctantly let go of his hand: "Then go and discuss it! If you want to cooperate, you have to contact us first!"
After saying that, he thought about the relationship between Tong Zhao and his group and Qi Yan's group, and his sense of crisis increased. He then pulled Tong Zhao back and added, "It's also okay to be with your...your brother and sister-in-law!"
Feeling that a single sentence was too weak and unappealing, Jiang Li pulled Tong Zhao closer and whispered, "If you let me and Amo win, I have a secret to tell you! I guess it has something to do with your brother."
Tong Zhao was a little surprised this time: "Qi Yan?"
"Yes, he must have made Luan Yining angry!" Jiang Li turned around and gestured for Tong Zhao to look with him: "Look, he's talking to A Mo, and Luan Yining isn't saying much!"
"Professor Luan is rather introverted," Tong Zhao explained. In fact, apart from Jiang Li, neither he nor Luan Yining were proactive types. But he really didn't expect that Jiang Li, who was so far away and talking to him, could still notice the state of the other side and could so quickly discover that something was wrong with Qi Yan and Luan Yining.
Jiang Li also had a good impression of Luan Yining, after all, she was a different kind of great beauty. He said to Tong Zhao, "How can that be the same? When Shan Song is talking to his friends, doesn't he take the initiative to pass you words?"
From what I understand, Ah Zhao and Professor Luan aren't from their circle. If Ah Mo took me out and kept talking to other people about things I couldn't understand, I'd definitely punch him! Professor Luan is the same; he clearly can't participate in the conversation, except he's a bit better-tempered than me.
Tong Zhao was stunned this time.
Jiang Lizhi said smugly, "Believe me now, I'm very good at judging people! I'm guessing that Qi Yan definitely doesn't know about this discovery, and he definitely doesn't know the secret I told you."
Jiang Li's mysterious demeanor actually piqued Tong Zhao's interest. Jiang Li didn't know them before, so what secrets could she possibly know from just that brief meeting?
