Chapter 741: I'll Tell
"With your work experience in Kefeng Films, you don't need to start from scratch if find a post at a new company. You should be able to get a position that is similar to your current one here," Xu Dashi said calmly to Manager Liang. "You should know which option is more beneficial to you."
"If we start an investigation to prove your innocence, it would inevitably leave a bad impression of you amongst the colleagues, just as you said. But, can the investigation really prove your innocence?" Tan Mo looked straight at Manager Liang as she asked.
Manager Liang's heart skipped a beat. She felt that this little girl was very evil.
Tan Mo's gaze seemed to be able to pierce through people's hearts.

Manager Liang felt as if Tan Mo had completely seen through her.
Tan Mo pursed her lips slightly before curling it into a smirk. "If we really end up finding something, Manager Liang won't even have a choice anymore."
"Moreover, with all due respect, you have been in Kefeng Films for many years. Although the position you hold isn't very high, there are still many things that can be used to your advantage," said Tan Mo. .
Manager Liang looked at Tan Mo. .
Was this little girl really only nineteen years old?
Other nineteen-year-old girls were still happy-go-lucky college students that just entered their second year of University.
However, Tan Mo was already as shrewd as a 29-year-old.
"To put it simply, you are in charge of scheduling the broadcast. When is the prime period for dramas to begin broadcasting? Which drama should be aired first, and which one is to be suppressed... I believe that many shows has come to you for help frequently, right?" Tan Mo said with a smile.
How could a favor be done in vain?
After working in this position for so many years, how much bribes did Manager Liang receive?
"Once an investigation is launched, the investigation might not only focus on the matter of 'Broken Continent' and 'Nine Heavens',"Tan Mo reminded, "Everything you've done in the past will be implicated. It's not like the company doesn't know about the things you've done in the past. It's just that it exists within the common unspoken rules of the industry. However, since it's an unspoken rule, it's a rule that no one knows about. Once it is backed up with evidence and proof, it won't be tolerated by the rules."
"Manager Liang, can you guarantee that everything you've done in the past is suitable to lay bare?" Tan Mo looked at Manager Liang, whose expression was getting uglier and uglier.
Manager Xu and Manager Wang were at the side. Even if Tan Mo wasn't targeting them, they were sweating profusely.
The entire company, even the ordinary employees, couldn't afford to go under scrutiny. Not to mention, Manager Liang.
As long as there was some power that could be used in the job, who hadn't taken advantage of their position?
In the workplace, in society, and in interpersonal relationships. These were all necessary.
Recommended for you
Manager Xu and Manager Wang were only glad that they had only made mistakes in their judgment on official matters. Unlike Manager Liang, who had done it for personal reasons.
Wei Zhiqian, Tan Mo, and Xu Dashi knew that these managers couldn't afford to be investigated.
The only difference was the reason for their mistakes.
(If you have problems with this website, please continue reading your novel on our new website myboxnovel.com THANKS!)
"Are you still not going to tell us?!" Xu Dashi said angrily.
There were only a few of them in the meeting room. They weren't idiots.
Looking at Manager Liang's expression, how could they not figure things out?
If an investigation was launched, even if they really couldn't find out what happened this time, what about the previous ones? They would find out eventually.
As long as they gathered the slightest of evidence, they could conclude the investigation.
And Manager Liang would never be able to recover.
Manager Liang had also thought of this. She had never expected that she would lose her job this time simply because of a minor favor that she usually did.
Manager Liang clenched her hands and finally said, "I'll tell."
Recommended for you
No one said anything.
Manager Liang looked up. Xu Dashi, Wei Zhiqian, and Tan Mo were all looking at her. Manager Xu and Manager Wang, who were sitting next to her, also turned over to look.
Although no one said anything, they were waiting for Manager Liang to speak.
"It's Manager Wu," Manager Liang said, "He asked me to schedule 'Broken Continent'and 'Nine Heavens' together. He wanted 'Broken Continent' to be a foil to 'Nine Heavens' and be completely suppressed..."
"You agreed just because he said so?" Xu Dashi asked coldly. "When did you two become so close?"
Manager Liang replied, "My daughter went to primary school last year. It was especially difficult to get into that primary school. To enroll, you have to have a residential address in that school district area. Even with that, you will still need to queue up for a chance in the lottery system. We don't have a house there, so I'm not even qualified to join the queue."
The house in that school district was priced at 200,000 yuan per square meter. Even if they were to buy an old and dilapidated house, their family would have to sell the house they were living in to have the money to buy it.
"It was Manager Wu who helped my child get into that primary school," Manager Liang said. "I owe Manager Wu a big favor. So as long as I can help, I can't refuse."
Xu Dashi didn't ask her if she knew how much the company had lost because of her actions.
How could she not know?
Xu Dashi looked at Wei Zhiqian.
Manager Liang must have helped Manager Wu more than once.
If they were to look into the matter and investigate what she had done in the past, he didn't know how much loss the company had suffered.
Although he had promised to allow Manager Liang to resign and wouldn't expose her mistakes in the industry to delay her in finding another job, now it seemed that Manager Liang had made more than one mistake.
If he wanted to investigate her past, he might be able to find out many more serious mistakes she had committed.
When that time comes, he might not be able to fulfill his promise to allow Manager Liang to voluntarily resign.
Since Wei Zhiqian was here, Xu Dashi looked at Wei Zhiqian.
Wei Zhiqian looked at Tan Mo. "Mo Mo, you make the decision. This time, they have targeted your drama. It's also because your drama had helped us expose Manager Liang's actions. So, I've decided to leave it to you."
What Wei Zhiqian didn't say was that Tan Mo was his fiancée and would be his wife in the future. She is someone who was going to walk alongside him.
The wives of the heads of the eight great families were not only responsible for the internal affairs of the family.
There was no such archaic concept of the men handling the external matters while the women only handle the internal affairs.
For example, when Old Lady Wei was young, she would also participate in the family's decision-making and the group's decision-making.
Old Lady Han might seem to have a very good temper now, but when she was young, she had conquered the business world alongside Old Master Han.
It was the same for the other families.
Now, only Wei Mingwen was in the state of retirement.
When Wei Zhiqian had not taken over Wei Feng, Xiao Menghan and Wei Mingwen did not differentiate between internal and external affairs.
As the matriarch, if one did not build up their own reputation and momentum, it would be difficult to convince anyone in the family.
Back then, Xiao Menghan had personally used her identity as the matriarch of the Wei family to talk to the Qin family about Qin Murong's matter. Dong Hanbi had also been able to deal with Qin Murong in a straightforward manner. No one within the Qin family, not even Qin Murong's parents, dared to say anything.
It was all because they knew of Xiao Menghan and Dong Hanbi's methods and did not dare to challenge them..
Chapter 742: No Need to Hide
Therefore, Wei Zhiqian also planned to let Tan Mo make a name for herself from now on.
So that when her name was mentioned by others, they wouldn't dare to look down on Tan Mo just because she was young.
Wei Zhiqian didn't say it outrightly in front of outsiders.
However, Tan Mo knew Wei Zhiqian's intention just by looking at him.
Recommended for you
Therefore, Tan Mo didn't refuse Wei Zhiqian's suggestion and generously nodded her head in agreement.
"Let's look at them as separate matters. Since no one in the company has investigated what Manager Liang did in the past, we won't pursue the previous matters. We'll only base it on this incident. Manager Liang, resign of your own accord."
Although Manager Liang had been mentally prepared, her heart sank and her eyes filled with tears when she officially received such an outcome.
She felt extremely aggrieved. Everyone was equally guilty of accepting bribes, why was she the only one who was so unlucky to be caught?
Her child was in primary school and had to participate in all kinds of extracurricular interest classes which were all extremely expensive.
If she were to change jobs, she didn't know if she could have the current salary level and treatment.
Manager Liang clenched her fists and even had the impulse to drag everyone down with her.
Even Manager Xu and Manager Wang, who were sitting in the room, couldn't afford to undergo an investigation.
They also held a bad attitude toward Tan Mo and Tan Jinqi last time and looked down on 'Broken Continent'. How could they be unpenalized?
Tan Mo looked at Manager Liang's changing expression and could roughly guess what she was thinking.
Tan Mo said, "I'm not pursuing your past matters not because I'm young, inexperienced, gullible, soft-hearted, and incapable."
Xu Dashi: "..."
Manager Xu: "..."
Manager Wang: "..."
They felt as if Tan Mo's words were directed at them.
There was a couple of seconds when they had thought of Tan Mo as such.
Recommended for you
Did Tan Mo see through their thoughts?
They have the self-belief that they were all old foxes in the workplace.
They should be able to control their expressions from revealing their inner thoughts.
(If you have problems with this website, please continue reading your novel on our new website myboxnovel.com THANKS!)
How could they be seen through so easily?
"But I know that Manager Liang isn't the only one who can't afford to be investigated," Tan Mo said. "If we investigate everything in the past, there probably won't be anyone left."
"Is Mr. Xu unaware of this? I'm young, but Mr. Xu is older than me and has more experience than me, right?" Tan Mo said, "I know that when I'm uncertain, I can look at people who know better than me and figure out what to do."
To put it bluntly, it doesn't matter if I don't know anything. I can learn from the people who know.
Xu Dashi had held the position as President of Kefeng Films firmly. It was evident that he had his capabilities.
Moreover, Wei Zhiqian had no intention of replacing him.
"Even if I don't believe in Mr. Xu's ability, I can trust Brother Zhiqian's judgment. Since he thinks that Mr. Xu is doing a good job, I naturally have to learn more from him," said Tan Mo.
Xu Dashi: "..."
Recommended for you
Thank you, Young Master Wei, for your appreciation.
It turned out that it wasn't because Tan Mo thinks that Xu Dashi was capable. It was purely because she trusted Wei Zhiqian's judgment.
Manager Liang understood what Tan Mo meant.
Everyone present knew that Manager Xu and Manager Wang had also taken advantage of their positions to do things in the company. Manager Liang wasn't the only "Smart Person".
In other words, if Manager Liang was planning on dragging everyone else down with her and brought this fact up, Kefeng Films wouldn't launch an investigation.
Tan Mo's words were said with the purpose of reminding Manager Liang to give up and not cause trouble.
It was also to let Xu Dashi and the other two Managers know that she wasn't a fool.
Now that she had said it out loud, all of them would have some reservations.
Wei Zhiqian smiled, his eyes were full of pride.
The little girl had handled it very well.
She was only 19 years old, and she was already fit to be the Mistress of the Wei family.
He shall tell his parents and the two elders about this matter, and let them know how amazing the little girl was when they go back.
Xu Dashi called his assistant over. "Bring Manager Liang to go through the resignation procedures."
He didn't even give Manager Liang any time to complete any handover. He wanted Manager Liang to leave immediately.
"After you're done, pack your things and leave the company today," Xu Dashi said.
Manager Liang didn't say anything. She stood up and left with Xu Dashi's assistant.
Manager Xu and Manager Wang didn't recover for a long time until Xu Dashi reminded them to present the report.
Manager Xu hurriedly informed Tan Jinqi and Tan Mo about the brands that they felt were more suitable.
Since Tan Mo had made up her mind to take over Tan Yue Homeware, she naturally knew a lot about this aspect.
Tan Jinqi also knew that Tan Mo knew better than him in this aspect.
He was always filming outside, and the time he spent at home in a year added up to less than two months. How would he know these things?
He simply handed the list to Tan Mo for her to decide.
Tan Jinqi felt a wave of guilt as he watched Tan Mo go through the list.
He had said that he would take care of Tan Mo since he was young.
But now, he was still being taken care of by Tan Mo.
Tan Jinqi looked at Tan Mo's side profile and felt a warm feeling bubbling in his heart.
After Tan Mo finished reading the list, she handed it back to Manager Xu. "There's no problem with this list."
Manager Xu was surprised. There were quite a few brands on this list, but none of them had a bad relationship with the Tan Family?
"Who would go around making enemies?" Tan Mo said with a smile, "Isn't it good to have more friends?"
"Yes, indeed." Manager Xu was a little embarrassed.
Not only that, but he also recalled their bad attitude toward Tan Mo and Tan Jinqi previously.
But now, Tan Mo and Tan Jinqi didn't do anything to get back at them.
Was this the Tan family's conduct philosophy?
Manager Xu and Manager Wang had the same thought of learning from the Tan family in the future.
Look at how big their business was.
There was no harm in learning more.
They mustn't look down on people in the future.
Manager Xu and Manager Wang took the list and headed off to communicate with the brands.
Tan Mo and Tan Jinqi had nothing else to do here, so they bid farewell to Xu Dashi. Wei Zhiqian left with them.
Wei Zhiqian had been holding Tan Mo's hand ever since they left the meeting room.
Xu Dashi sent them off and walked behind them with Tan Jinqi. As he looked at their intertwined fingers, he felt that Wei Zhiqian was a little shameless.
He found someone so young.
On this floor, there were also a few employees who had seen them holding hands too.
After entering the elevator, Wei Zhiqian said to Xu Dashi, "There's no need to hide the news of my engagement with Mo Mo."
Xu Dashi was stunned.
So?
Was there a need to hide this?
He wasn't planning on hiding it.
Of course, he also didn't think of spreading it around.
Wei Zhiqian waited for a few seconds, but Xu Dashi didn't react..
Chapter 743: Stop Pretending

He was even looking a little dazed.
This made Wei Zhiqian fall into deep thought.
Recommended for you
Xu Dashi... didn't seem to be very smart. Was he really suitable to be Kefeng Films' President?
Wei Zhiqian said straightforwardly, "Not only do you not have to hide it, but you can also let everyone know and be happy for us."
Xu Dashi: "..."
"Especially the colleagues in the company. They will definitely be curious after they saw us holding hands. If someone is curious, you can say just let them know. Don't let the employees work with doubts. If they are full of doubts that are left unanswered, it will not be good if it affects their work efficiency."
"In order not to affect the employees' work efficiency, we ought to satisfy their curiosity," Wei Zhiqian said earnestly.
Xu Dashi: "..."
The boss is so flashy...
"I understand," Xu Dashi said.
Wei Zhiqian looked carefully. Xu Dashi seemed to have really understood him.
Ah, Xu Dashi could still be saved.
After they had departed from Kefeng, Xu Dashi went back to continue staring at the problem for Broken Continent's brand advertisements.
Although Wei Zhiqian said that he slept early last night and slept on the plane today, no matter how spacious the first-class seat was, it was impossible for him to rest well.
Tan Mo noticed that Wei Zhiqian had dark circles under his eyes.
"Do you want to go back to the company directly, or go home and rest for a while?" Tan Mo asked.
She wanted Wei Zhiqian to go back and rest first, even if it was just taking a short afternoon nap.
There's no difference if he went back to work in the afternoon.
Recommended for you
But if Wei Zhiqian insisted on going back to work, she couldn't stop him.
Wei Zhiqian wanted to take Tan Mo home.
He was indeed a little tired and wanted to go back and catch up on his sleep.
(If you have problems with this website, please continue reading your novel on our new website myboxnovel.com THANKS!)
He wasn't planning on doing anything with Tan Mo.
He hadn't seen Tan Mo for so many days and really missed her.
They had video calls every night and would fall asleep together without ending the call so that when they woke up in the morning, they would see each other.
However, they were still separated by the screen, and not truly in each other's arms.
Wei Zhiqian really missed the feeling of hugging Tan Mo to sleep in his arms.
But Tan Jinqi was also there. Wei Zhiqian could not say anything about going home even if he wanted to.
He raised his eyebrows at Tan Mo and rolled his eyes in Tan Jinqi's direction. "I also really want to go home and rest, but..."
The other half of this statement was entirely subjective on the listener's understanding.
Recommended for you
Tan Mo knew what the other half of the statement was. Wei Zhiqian wanted to say that she couldn't go back with him.
And what Tan Jinqi heard was: he had to go back to the company.
Tan Jinqi sneered. Did Wei Zhiqian think he was an idiot?
"Alright, stop pretending." Tan Jinqi's face was dark.
They're even playing charades in front of him now?
Did they really think that he couldn't tell?
The act they were putting on was infuriating to watch.
"I'll go back first," Tan Jinqi said.
Tan Mo looked at Tan Jinqi in surprise.
Why did Big Brother suddenly become so easy to talk to!
Looking at Tan Mo's surprised expression, Tan Jinqi felt tired and sad.
This younger sister truly wasn't his anymore.
"Do you really think we don't know about the two of you?" Tan Jinqi said unhappily. "We just didn't expose you."
If they didn't expose them, both of them would have some scruples and would still continue putting on an act.
If they outrightly exposed them, there would be nothing holding them back. They would even start to live together openly.
"Big Brother, then why are you saying it now?" Tan Mo blinked his big eyes and asked.
Tan Jinqi: "..."
He was the one who had called them out, but Tan Mo's lack of intention to hide it was too heart-wrenching.
"I'm so tired seeing the two of you acting like this," Tan Jinqi said. He couldn't control her anyway. If he was going to be treated as a fool and deceived by them, he might as well go all out.
Tan Mo looked at Tan Jinqi embarrassedly.
However, her embarrassment didn't stop her from hugging Wei Zhiqian's arm.
Tan Jinqi felt that his eyes were hurting from this sight. He waved his hand in disdain. "Alright, if you want to accompany him home or go to the company, do as you please."
Stop pretending.
"Big Brother, does this mean that you're not against the both of us..." Tan Mo was too embarrassed to say it out loud.
"Don't act innocent after taking advantage of your Big Brother," Tan Jinqi said as he glared at Tan Mo.
"I can turn a blind eye to it," Tan Jinqi said, "But your parents and other brothers might not be able to do it. I'm already gritting my teeth to admit that I can do this. Don't expect me to speak up for you."
They'll have to figure out what to do to get past the rest of the Tan family.
"That's good enough." Tan Mo wasn't that greedy, to begin with.
It was already a pleasant surprise that Tan Jinqi was willing to let go.
Tan Jinqi sighed, his heart aching.
The happier Tan Mo was, the more uncomfortable he felt in his heart.
"Both of you..."
Tan Jinqi felt that it might be a little awkward for him to be saying this was an older brother, but he wouldn't be at ease if he remind them.
In the end, he whispered to Wei Zhiqian, "Protect her well. She's still young."
Although he said it to Wei Zhiqian, Tan Mo heard it as well.
Tan Mo was no longer an ignorant girl.
She could instantly understand the meaning of those jokes.
Although Tan Jinqi's words were vague, Tan Mo still understood them instantly.
Tan Mo blushed in embarrassment and hid behind Wei Zhiqian. She covered her face and rested her forehead on Wei Zhiqian's back.
Her petite frame was completely hidden behind Wei Zhiqian's back.
Although she understood the meaning, she was still embarrassed when her own brother is the one reminding them about that!
Wei Zhiqian nodded. "Definitely."
There was no need for Tan Jinqi to instruct him. He would protect her well.
Tan Jinqi didn't want to look at Wei Zhiqian now.
Wei Zhiqian's reply was equivalent to completely confirming all of his previous guesses.
There was no way Tan Jinqi could feel good after that.
Tan Jinqi gritted his teeth and glanced at Wei Zhiqian before turning around and leaving.
When Tan Jinqi was gone, Wei Zhiqian finally let out a laugh.
"At least in front of your big brother, we don't have to hide anymore." Wei Zhiqian felt a lot more relaxed.
Finally, they felt like they didn't need to hide.
Even Tan Mo heaved a sigh of relief.
"Then in the future, should we ask Big Brother to come out and cover for us?" Tan Mo immediately thought of utilizing Tan Jinqi.
Wei Zhiqian: "..."
His heart ached for Tan Jinqi.
The little girl should have a heart.
"Forget it." It was better to be kind. Wei Zhiqian miraculously considered for Tan Jinqi for once."It's already very rare for him to turn a blind eye. Let's not provoke him anymore."
"Alright then." Tan Mo still felt a little regretful.
However, she was still very happy that they no longer needed to hide in front of Tan Jinqi.
"Shall we go home now?" Tan Mo asked, her eyes were sparkling.. She wished that they could reach home in an instant.
Chapter 744: Wei Zhiqian Had Experienced This Feeling
Many Times
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Tan Mo's urgency in wanting to return home with him made Wei Zhiqian feel
warm in his heart.
When he used to live at home, his parents had a good relationship and made
him feel like a third wheel all the time.
After he began working, he moved out and lived in Yijing.
Every time he finished work or came back from a business trip, he was the only
one in the house.
Yijing was just a place to go back and rest.
It was not home.
To him, there was no difference between whether he stayed in Yijing or a hotel.
Either way, he was living in an empty house all alone.
This feeling did not disappear until he and Tan Mo stayed together in the
apartment next to Beijing University.
But it was probably because both of them knew that that apartment was only a
temporary residence for them, so although it was cozy, it didn't feel like a true
home.
It wasn't until Tan Mo moved in with him to Yijing.
Where half of the space that originally belonged to him was vacated f
Mo.
The shoe cabinets and cloakrooms were evenly filled up with their belongings.
In the study, their desks were placed side by side as they worked and studied
together.
The ground was filled with the dolls and decorations that Tan Mo had bought.
Even the living room was filled with all kinds of cute knick-knacks that Tan
Mo liked.
The bedroom was originally Wei Zhiqian's room.
But now, with the addition of Tan Mo's dressing table, it was their bedroom.
The bay window, which was originally felt empty, was covered with a fluffy,
soft pink wool mat by Tan Mo. It had soft pillows and plushies placed on it.
There was also the Harry Potter collaboration cloak which Tan Mo liked too.
Sometimes there would be an extra tablet or a laptop that Tan Mo conveniently
left there depending on what she was going to be doing at the bay window area.
Sometimes would sit there to use her tablet and at other times, she would seat
there, leaning against the pillows and tapping away with her laptop, doing
school work
originally, Wei Zhiqian's place was furnished in cool grey tones.
Except for the necessary renovations, there were very few decorations.
Because Wei Zhiqian didn't have time to think about what to put at home, nor
specially decorate the house.
Before Tan Mo moved in, the house was like a showroom flat.
It was stylish and clean, but it felt very empty.
As Tan Mo moved in, the house was slowly filled with her presence. She would
introduce cute decorations and pink, girlish plush toys into the apartment
every other day.
Gradually, the colors in the house were no longer only varying shades of grey.
There were many more bright and cute colors, and it had made the house
livelier.
"Let's go home," Wei Zhiqian said with a warm look in his eyes.
He could already imagine the endless feelings of longing after he marries Tan
Mo and they openly live together.
Wei Zhiqian held Tan Mo's hand and brought her to his car, and drove back to
Yijing
Tan Mo had moved back home for the past few days and only Auntie came to
clean up the place daily. The house was uninhabited.
A cold and cheerless atmosphere could be felt the moment Wei Zhiqian opened
the door.
The air in a desolated house was cooler than in other places.
There was even the scent of an unfamiliar new home.
Wei Zhiqian had experienced this feeling many times in the past.
He always felt this way when entering the house after he worked overtime late
into the night or returning from a long business trip.
However, now that he had Tan Mo by his side, he did not feel as forlorm when
the same feeling hit him again.
Both of them entered the door and changed their shoes.
After they entered the living room, the desolated atmosphere disappeared.
Wei Zhiqian opened the suitcase and threw all the clothes to be washed into the
laundry basket.
Recommended for you
When Auntie came to cook dinner in the evening, she would take them away
and send them to the dry cleaners in the building to be washed.
Then he started putting the other things back where they should be and storing
them away.
After emptying the suitcase, he dragged it back to the shoe cabinet at the
entrance.
When Wei Zhiqian asked people to design the cabinet, he had them leave a row
of space that could be used to put the suitcase at the very top, near the ceiling
After all, it was rare to change shoes daily, so it was not convenient to climb so
high
He only put the shoes that he rarely wore up in the higher racks while those
that he often wore were placed where they can be easily within reach.
The luggage that was rarely taken was placed at the very top.
There was still a small gap between the edge of the shoe cabinet and the wall.
Wei Zhigian pulled outa ladder from there. The ladder was also specially
designed and custom-made to be just right for the height of the shoe cabinet.
The thickness of the folded ladder could fit perfecthly into the gap too.
Wei Zhiqian spread out the ladder and assembled it properly into stair-style
steps.
Wei Zhiqian stepped on it and placed the suitcase on the top shelf of the s
cabinet.
After he had finished packing, he changed into a new set of home clothes and
threw the clothes he had just worn into the laundry basket.
Tan Mo was curled up on the sofa looking through the comments of "Broken
Continent' on Weibo. When she saw Wei Zhiqian coming over after he had
finished packing, she said, "Auntie didn't know you were back so early today.
It's too late for her to come and cook now."
They had spent a lot of time at Kefeng Films. It was already 12:30 by the time
they traveled back and Wei Zhiqian finished unpacking.
"I just ordered takeout," Tan Mo said.
As soon as they entered the door, Tan Mo had ordered takeout while Wei
Zhiqian was unpacking before she went to change into home clothes.
"You can sleep after you finish eating."Tan Mo clicked into the order page to
check on the rider's status. "o.5km more to go, he should be arriving soon."
Wei Zhiqian sat next to Tan Mo.
He reached out and held Tan Mo in his arms and rested his chin on Tan Mo's
shoulder.
The fragrance of her hair came filled his nose.
Wei Zhiqian hugged Tan Mo and nuzzled her ear which was covered by her hair
to expose them.
Tan Mo's white ears were in stark contrast to her black hair.
Wei Zhiqian pressed his nose against her ears and gently sniffed the fragrance
on her skin.
His lips pressed against her ears, pecking at them.
He pecked at the little gir!'s ears until they were red and burning
Only then did he tilt his head to rest on her shoulder, but he buried his face into
her neck, inch by inch.
How could Tan Mo focus on reading what was written on Weibo at this time?
Wei Zhiqian's smoldering breath was all over her
Tan Mo felt goosebumps tingling on her skin. In the next second, Wei Zhiqian's
burning lips pressed against the sensitive skin on her neck.
Tan Mo subconsciously shrank her shoulders from the kisses landing on her
neck, shrinking the space between her shoulders and neck and squeezing Wei Zhiqian out.

to Go to Sleep So Soon

Wei Zhiqian had no choice but to withdraw one of his hands that was wrapped
around her, gathered all the hair around her ear, and moved it to the other side
Recommended for you
of her shoulder.
Leaving that side of her neck and shoulders completely exposed.
Wei Zhiqian's long fingers gently pinched the back of Tan Mo's neck. Tan Mo
didn't know how he did it, but she only felt an electric current running from
her spine and lost all the strength to support herself.
She didn't even have the strength to shrink her shoulders.
Wei Zhiqian instantly took advantage of her relaxed state.
Tan Mo's mind was a little clouded and she subconsciously tilted her head to
give Wei Zhiqian more space.
Wei Zhiqian chuckled, and his hot breath landed on Tan Mo's neck, causing her
to shiver.
At this moment, the doorbell rang.
It had rung for some time before they snapped out back to their senses.
Tan Mo poked Wei Zhiqian gently with her soft fingertip. "The takeout has
probably arrived."
Although the weather at the end of March was still cold, the building was
Recommended for you
equipped with a thermostat system. All the residents had one in their homes.
Therefore, regardless of the seasons, the temperature in the house constantly
felt as though it was Spring
(If you have problems with this website, please continue reading your novel on our new website myboxnovel.com THANKS!)
During Winter, the Northern cities would focus on heating.
Sometimes, it would get too warm, so the windows had to be opened up.
However, Yijing did not install any heating facilities at all. Because of the
thermostat system, it did not require additional heating.
The houses would maintain a suitable temperature even on cold winter days.
Thus, the clothes that Wei Zhiqian and Tan Mo usually wore at home were
made of thin silk.
Tan Mo's fingertips were prodding at Wei Zhiqian's abdomen, and he could feel
Recommended for you
the warmth from her fingertips through the thin silk material.
Wei Zhiqian immediately felt irritated. The temperature in the house wasn't as
comfortable as it was anymore.
He felt hot all over.
"Hurry, go open the door.
Tan Mo didn't realize anything and poked Wei Zhiqian again.
Why didn't Tan Mo go and open the door?
It's because her legs were so weak that she couldn't even stand up. If she got
up, she would fall back
What a shameful bunch.
Wei Zhiqian held Tan Mo's hand and pinched the tip of her finger before he got
up and went to the door.
He opened the door of the robot's stomach and grabbed the takeout before
closing it again.
"Enjoy your meal." After the robot said that, it turned around and went back to
the elevator.
Wei Zhiqian carried the takeout and headed to the dining room.
Tan Mo stayed on the sofa for a bit longer to calm down before joining Wei
Zhiqian.
The takeout was still piping hot. Wei Zhiqian was opening the boxes in his
hand, but his gaze was fixed on Tan Mo.
Tan Mo felt as if she was being targeted by a wolf.
Wei Zhiqian didn't say anything, but his eyes clearly said, "Compared to eating
this, I want to eat you more."
Fortunately, Wei Zhiqian sat down obediently.
Tan Mo heaved a sigh of relief.
She wasn't used to being separated from Wei Zhiqian for seven days.
Moreover, Wei Zhiqian wouldn't usually let situations like earlier wrap up so
simply.
Wei Zhiqian had even said shamelessly, "I have to do my best in everything I
It's the same when I was in school, when I entered Wei Feng's work, and
when it comes to our compatibility exercises."
Tan Mo could only give him a speechless expression.
He didn't have to do his best in this aspect.
Ever since the two of them lived together, Wei Zhiqian had been extremely
diligent. Even if he worked overtime and came back late, he would plow into
her endlessly.
After they were done, he was in no discomfort whatsoever. He was even so
energetic that he couldn't even sleep.
However, Tan Mo would lay paralyzed on the bed, unable to move an inch.
Every time, she would think about not coming over for the entire upcoming
week.
It was too exhausting
During the seven days when Wei Zhiqian wasn't around, she managed to finally
get some good sleep even though she missed him and rested especially wel
If Wei Zhiqian wanted it now, Tan Mo foresaw that she would be completely
immobilized this afternoon and wouldn't be able to go to school.
Hence, she heaved a sigh of relief and decided that after dinner, she would
advise Wei Zhiqian to go to sleep and not think about doing anything else.
After dinner, Wei Zhiqian cleaned up the containers and threw them into the
garbage room in the corridor.
There would be a cleaning lady who would come and do the sorting of garbage.
The residents here didn't have to do it themselves.
T just had a full meal, so it's not appropriate to go to sleep so soon." Wei
Zhiqian said as he smiled and looked at Tan Mo.
If the hint in his words wasn't obvious, the hint in his eyes was very obvious.
"You just finished eating, so it's not appropriate to do strenuous exercise," Tan
Mo said expressionlessly.
Wei Zhiqian: ".."
"I don't think it's counted as strenuous." Besides, Tan Mo was the one who only
needed to lay still.
Tan Mo, once again, understood Wei Zhiqian's meaning.
Ever since she got together with Wei Zhiqian, Tan Mo caught on to such things
with ease, especially after they became intimate,
"If you're not tired, then let's head out. You go to the company while I go back
to school,"Tan Mo said mercilessly, "You're not here for seven days, so the
company must have accumulated a lot of things to deal with. If you deal with
them earlier, you can come back home earlier."
"Besides, I still have class this afternoon."
Tan Mo didn't put it so plainly, but if she did as he wanted, then she wouldn't
be able to go to school in the afternoon.
This was a sufficient reason. Wei Zhiqian paused for a moment and said
resignedly, "Nighttime then."
Tan Mo: ".."
Nighttime it shall be then.
The two of them sat on the sofa and waited for the food in their stomachs to
Digest
Probably because he had just returmed home and was completely relaxed, Wei
Zhiqian felt a little sleepy even though he wasn't feeling tired at first.
Wei Zhiqian held Tan Mo in his lap and wrapped his arms around her as they
sat on the sofa and chatted.
His fingertips were pressed against her slender arms.
His fingertips unconsciously drew circles on Tan Mo's arms gently as he
listened to her talk about the things that happened in his absence.
Tan Mo's voice was crisp and pleasant, and a little babyish too.
Wei Zhiqian was tired and gradually lost track of what Tan Mo was saying. He
could only hear her voice drifting further and further away.
As Tan Mo spoke, she felt the arms that were wrapped around her loosen their
grip.
She turned his head and saw that Wei Zhiqian had fallen asleep with his head
leaning against the sofa.
He was indeed tired.
Tan Mo couldn't let him sleep like this.
Even lying on the sofa was uncomfortable.
She knew that Wei Zhiqian had just fallen asleep.
Tan Mo woke him up. "Brother Zhiqian."
After calling him a few times, Wei Zhiqian gradually came back to his senses
and woke up in a daze
"Go to the bedroom and sleep,"Tan Mo said.
Wei Zhiqian rubbed his temples.
Tan Mo had already gotten up.
Wei Zhiqian followed suit and went into the bedroom with Tan Mo.
When they were lying comfortably in bed, Tan Mo skillfully rolled into Wei
Zhiqian's arms..

Wei Zhiqian chuckled and hugged Tan Mo tightly
He kissed her forehead again before closing his eyes and drifting off to sleep
comfortably.

Wei Zhiqian still woke up at 2 o'clock even though he didn't set an alarm due to
his biological clock.
It was a short nap for he had only slept for 45 minutes
However, Tan Mo still had her head on Wei Zhiqian's chest, and Wei Zhiqian's
arms were wrapped around her shoulders.
Tan Mo treated Wei Zhiqian as a pillow and an extra-large bolster while Wei
Zhiqian treated Tan Mo like an extra-large plush doll.
However, Wei Zhiqian couldn't get up without waking Tan Mo up in this
position.
He tried to carefully support Tan Mo's shoulder and move her to the side.
Unfortunately, despite how gentle and careful he was in his actions, Tan Mo
was still woken up.
I have to go to the company."
Just as Tan Mo said, there were a lot of things in the company that he needed
to deal with.
"What time is it?"

Tan Mo was rather groggy even though she did not fall into a deep sleep. She
had drifted off and somewhat forgot the time.
"Tt's two o'clock,"Wei Zhiqian said.

"Ah, then I have to go to school too. There's a class at 3:30 pm. It's a good time
for me to start heading over now."
"Alright, Ill get the chauffeur to send you there," Wei Zhiqian said as he got up
from the bed.
Tll go with you to Wei Feng first, then get the driver to pick me up from there
so I don't have to wait for him to come over," said Tan Mo as she also got out of
bed.
"That's good too." Wei Zhiqian nodded.
Recommended for you
It was more convenient this way.
Moreover, this arrangement meant that he could spend more time with Tan
Mo.
Wei Zhiqian felt that spending a lifetime with Tan Mo would never be enough.
The two of them went to their respective cloakrooms and changed their
clothes.
Tan Mo had left her books in the dormitory and didn't have them with her.
If time allows it, she would pop by the dormitory to grab them. If there wasn't,
she would head straight to class.
After all, she had already memorized the contents of the books.
She could easily memorize everything and didn't need to take notes of what the
teacher had said in class.
She only brought her books out of respect for class etiquette, and also so that
she doesn't stand out too much.
When Tan Mo and Wei Zhiqian arrived at the entrance of Wei Feng, the
chauffeur was already waiting and continued to send Tan Mo to school from
there.
After Wei Zhiqian returned, Tan Mo resumed her routine of traveling back and
forth between Yijing and school.
Of course, she would still go home on the weekends.
"Nine Heavens" had received the highest level of promotion, but it still didn't
have much effect.
This gave Kefeng Films a legitimate reason to not bother too much with it
anymore.
"Nine Heavens" was given the header banner on the selected pages with each
new episode.
However, it still ranked below 'Broken Continent.
Guo Qingchen had no more excuses for this.
In contrast, 'Broken Continent exploded in its popularity with every new
episode.
Every time people assumed that it had achieved its peak, Broken Continent
would immediately set a new record, shocking everyone.
Now, 'Broken Continent' was ranked first in the total number of views on the
Internet.
Because it was an exclusive broadcast, this number was based on the broadcast
volume on Kefeng Films alone.
But even so, Kefeng Films remained firmly in the first place even if all the
highest records in the history of other platforms were considered.
It even beat the once-popular "Legend of Wei and Jin".
of course, the episodes for "Legend of Wei and Jin" were first broadcast on
television then on the Internet.
On the same day, the episode would air on the television and before it was
updated on the online platform.
Hence, the number of views on the internet was greatly reduced. It could not be
compared and measured solely by this.
Netizens could not help but wonder, if "Broken Continent" were to be
broadcasted on television, who knows how many viewership ratings it would
have.
While 'Broken Continent' was the topic of discussion, the OSTs in the show
were also equally popular.
Kefeng Music released the exclusive album of 'Broken Continent' oSTs.
Only VIP users of Kefeng Music could listen to the full version and download
the song without any damage in sound quality.
Now, the music copyrights in the country were strictly regulated.
There were pirated versions available, but very few.
And the sound quality was poor and much worse than the official versions of
the music platforms.
Some users who did not have high requirements for the quality of the sound
did not think much of it.
However, if the users were pursuing high-quality music, they would be more
willing to spend money to listen to the official versions.
Because of this OST album, Kefeng Music had gained a large number of new
VIP users.
Soon, it'd be the last week of the broadcast of Broken Continent. It was time to
see the number of users who paid to watch the last few episodes in advance.
How many users were willing to pay an extra three yuan per episode to watch
the last four episodes for Broken Continent?
Even though it was only twelve yuan to watch the last four episodes in
advance, it was hard to say how many people were willing to pay when they
would watch for free if they waited.
Those who couldn't wait could look for pirated versions.
Those who were willing to wait could wait for an episode that was updated
every day.
However, regardless of the number of users who watched the episodes, 'Broken
Continent had already succeeded.
On Monday night, Broken Continent" will be available for early previewing
Tan Mo planned to go home and await the results with the Tan family.
When she returned home, she could see the unconcealable joy on the faces of
her parents and brothers.
"What's the joyous occasion? Tan Mo asked curiously after changing her shoes
and entering the house.
"Mr. Xu called earlier. He said that a few television stations have come to
inquire about purchasing the copyright of 'Broken Continent' for broadcasting
purposes.
Tan Mo, who had always been calm and collected, could not help but feel
excited.
"Which television stations? Tan Mo asked quickly.
"Star Guest, Donghua, Star Glory, and Kumquat. They have all contacted
Kefeng Films and indicated their interest in buying the copyright, Tan Jinqi
said.
"That's great!" Tan Mo was beaming with joy. "Although 'Broken Continent is
highly discussed on the internet, it is still missing out on a large group of
audiences. Especially the elders, most of them still watch television. There are
also primary school students. They do have access to the internet, but it is
restricted and controlled by their parents. They don't spend much time
watching dramas on video platforms. Most of the time, they watch whatever
their parents watch on Tv. Especially with the change in family dynamics of
grandparents watching after the grandchildren, the children would be able to
watch the show along with the elderlies."
Tan Mo stroked her chin and analyzed, "But it's hard to tell if Broken
Continent will be able to attract an older audience."
"Definitely!" Tan Wenci was very confident. "Don't your mother and I love
watching it?
Xu Mingzhen nodded. "To be fair it must be mentioned that we had watched it
in the beginning because it was Jinq's work. Of course, we have to support it.

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Xu Mingzhen said, "But after we started watching it, we continued watching because the plot is good. Your father and I aren't young, we may not be able to fully speak for others, but if even we find the show interesting to watch, I'm sure the show would still attract appeal to viewers from our age group."
"No matter what, we would be able to reach out to a larger audience pool if the show was cast on television. Even those who didn't know about the show would be exposed to its existence too." Tan Mo said as she nodded with a smile.

"You came back in time. Jinqi had just received the call from Mr. Xu not long before you arrived." Xu Mingzhen said to Tan Mo. "I didn't have the time to ask just now. What did Mr. Xu say? Which company does Kefeng Films intend to sell 'Broken Continent' to?"
Tan Jinqi said, "These four TV stations are similar in their ranking. It depends
on how they want to go about doing the broadcast. Do they want to buy the
exclusive broadcast rights or accept co-broadcast rights shared with other
stations?
"If they want to broadcast exclusively, the highest bidder will get the exclusive
rights. If they want to co-broadcast, those stations who are offering acceptable
prices and are willing to match the amount can broadcast the show together."
"Mr. Xu intends to wait. It is conservative to say that even if the revenues from
early-bird viewership aren't much, it won't affect the reputation and
achievements of 'Broken Continent. But if the revenue is high enough, we can
still raise the price with these television stations," "Tan Jinqi said.
"Mr. Xu is a professional. We can rest assured and leave everything else to
him."Xu Mingzhen nodded.
In any case, Tanyue had invested in the show and would get a proportional
amount of the profits.

There was also a clause in the contract that Tan Jinqi signed. If the show
earned a lot, he would get a bigger share of the profits as well.

hand and piped up, "There's one more thing"
All eyes were on him.
Tan Jinsheng said, "Star Guest had asked me to go on their show, 'Singing
Voice' as a challenger."
'Singing Voice' was an extremely popular show on Star Guest station.
Although it was not as big of hype in its third season compared to the first, it's
still number one amongst the singing variety shows.
Despite competing with other reality shows airing at the same time on Friday
Recommended for you
nights, the ratings aren't bad at all.
It surpassed all the other variety shows and ranked first.
The variety shows broadcasted on Friday night were the trump card variety
shows from the various television stations.
Donghua Station's "Can't Catch Up With Me," and Star Glory Station's "sleeping
on The streets," were all extremely popular variety shows, especially when
they have the most popular artiste starring as guests on them. Many of them
had taken the initiative to contact the program team and had to queue up for a
chance to go on the show.
Both variety shows had persisted for many years. Back then, "sleeping on The
Streets" was launched as the competing variety show against 'Can't Catch Up
With
Me'.
The two variety shows could be said to be old rivals. They were launched in the
same year, and they were both scheduled to go online on the same day during
the summer vacation. They were even broadcast on Friday at the same 9 pm
time slot.
Even after they had released six seasons, the audience was still enthusiastic.
Although 'Singing Voice' could not be considered to be in the same period as
them and was aired after the other two shows were halfway through its
broadcast, it was able to rank amongst the top three variety shows.
The popularity of 'Singing Voice' could be seen from how it is always rotating
between the other two titles in the top three places for the variety shows
ranking.
However, 'Singing Voice' didn't only hire popular singers. on the contrary, it
would star singers who were not as famous but had good singing skills as its
guests.
Those who did not have good singing skills would be ridiculed by the netizens
for overestimating their abilities even if they were on the show. While many
singers who were no longer popular would regain some fame because of the
show.
The Tan family was really surprised that the program team had invited Tan
Jinsheng to sing on its show. However, upon deeper thought, it was indeed
reasonable.
Tan Jinsheng was not famous People were starting to learn of him through the
OSTS for Broken Continent. Now was the time his popularity is starting to rise.
People could remember his name, but not his face.
Many people might be a little confused and unable to remember who "Tan
Jinsheng' was.
Some would also be confused and question how did the song 'Mountain and
River' sound like
But once they hear the melody of the song, they would think: So it was this
song
Then, when the melody and the title of the song matched, the singer would
also be easily associated with it.
In this aspect, Tan Jinsheng fitted perfectly into the criteria of the guests
invited on 'singing Voice.
A song with a certain level of popularity that would be easily recognized by
many viewers, but sung by a singer that was not well-known by the public.
There was a high chance of gaining fame in one fell swoop by appearing on
Snging Voice'.
Not only did it help bo0ost the singer's fame, but it also further proved the
power and influence of 'Singing Voice'. As long as the singer had the ability, the
show could make an unknown singer tamous.
Who would take the biggest advantage?
Undoubtedly, it would be the program team.
However, there were benefits for Tan Jinsheng to star on the show.
"It's a good thing" Tan Jingi nodded and said, "What do you think?"
Tan Jinsheng scratched his head and said, "Since Big Brother thinks it's good, I
have no issues. I was still hesitant and consulted Teacher. He also thinks it's
not bad, and I can give it a try. It's fine even if I don't succeed in the challenge.
As long as I sing well and prove my skills, everyone will definitely remember
me.
"But.."Tan Jinsheng said bewilderedly, "I feel that the teachers words are a
little strange. Since I can sing well and have the skills to make everyone
remember me, why would I fail in the challenge?"
Other than Tan Jinsheng, everyone else was silent.
Tan Jinsheng and Tan Jinyi were similar. Up until now, they were very wel
protected by their teachers.
Perhaps because their teachers were getting on with age and were extremely
doting on the youngest student.
He Haoyan had always had a good temper. When he was younger, he had raised
Dong Yanzhen as if he was raising a child.
As he got older, his temper was even better than when he had raised Dong
Yanzhen after he gained a young disciple. He was so doting that he would give
Tan Jinyi everything he wanted.
Otherwise, he wouldn't contact the Nobel laureate, Ji Qinghe, just because Tan
Jinyi wanted to talk to her.
Liu Shengtai had a bad temper when he was young.
Liu fingshen, Ji Jiayi, and Lu Xiangchen, these three disciples were all
characters with great personalities.
At the mention of Ji Jiayi, Tan Mo suddenly remembered something.
She didn't pay much attention to singers but she knew Lu Xiangchen simply
because he was too famous.
She was even more unfamiliar with rock singers.
When she heard Ji Jiayi's name earlier, she wondered why it sounded familiar.
She had never paid attention to rock singers either.
But now, she suddenly remembered why. He has the same name as Ji Jiayi from
Hua University's Mathematics Department.
No wonder she thought it sounded familiar.
Liu Shengtai's three disciples had character and would never perform soddy
jobs the moment it involves professional matters..
Chapter 748: Why Was It a Little Saddening to Hear?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
How gentle could a teacher that nurtured three such disciples be?
Yet as Liu Shengtai was getting old, he had made an exception to accept Tan
Jinsheng as his disciple after many years of not doing so.
Recommended for you
Although Tan Jinsheng was his disciple, Liu Shengtai was extremely doting on
him because of the large generation gap.
It was a treatment that Tan Jinsheng's three seniors had never enjoyed before.
With these two teachers, Tan Jinsheng and Tan Jinyi had yet to officially step
into their respective professional circles, so they still retained some innocence.
Therefore, the two of them did not understand the meaning behind Liu
Shengta's words.
Liu Shengtai had been in the industry for many years, so he was too familiar
with some of the unspeakable rules.
"Singing Voice" had invited Tan JInsheng as a challenger on the show.
Tan Jinsheng's advancement in the show couldn't be decided based on his
ability alone.
Most of the time, ona competition program like "Singing Voice", the champion
was already decided right from the very start.
Even the entire process of elimination and the contestants who advanced were
already predetermined.

Therefore, in every signing of the contract, it would be specified how many
episodes the singer would participate in.
When the contract was due, the singer would naturally be eliminated from the

show.
Therefore, when the singers participated in the program, roughly know when
they would be eliminated.
That was why Liu Shengtai phrased his words so oddly.
However, Tan Jinsheng had never experienced this. He genuinely thought that
as long as he had the capabilities, it would be enough.
Although all of them knew what Liu Shengtai meant, they didn't tell Tan
Jinsheng.
Recommended for you
They didn't stop Tan Jinsheng from participating in the program because of
this.
Tan Jinsheng would have to experience and know about these things sooner or
later.
"Oh right, when are you going to meet the program team and sign the
contract?" Xu Mingzhen asked.
"I only told them I'll consider it and haven't replied to them yet," "Tan Jinsheng
said. "Tll reply to the program team now and then talk about the contract."
Fortunately, the program was recorded in B City, so it was quite convenient.
Tan Wenci stroked his chin and said, "T'll try to establish a studio for you. Then,
we'll have to hire a manager, assistant, and other staff responsible for various
things."
"So soon?" Tan Jinsheng scratched his head. "Ive only just released a few
Songs."
"You've already released a song, so you need to hurry up and prepare," Tan
Wenci said, "In the future, you'll need a professional to help you handle the
matters for participating in all kinds of programs, and even advertising
invitations or commercial performances. There are also daily miscellaneous
matters that you will need an assistant to assist you in. You can't just take care
of all the trivial matters yourself. You won't be able to handle all of them. Do
you still want to write songs?"
Tan Jinsheng thought about it and agreed.
Tan Wenci was a professional when it came to setting up a company.
Moreover, this was only a studio. It was simpler thana company and was a
piece of cake for Tan Wenci.
Tan Jinsheng didn't think too much about it and left everything in Tan Wenci's
hands.
"You should learn from your father," Xu Mingzhen said helplessly, "When the
studio is established, you have to leam to manage it yourself. You can't just
leave everything to your Dad."
Tan Jinsheng nodded and was very receptive. "Then I'll start learning now. Dad,
rll work on the studio with you and learn fronm the process."
"Okay," Tan Wen agreed with gratification.
Now, he could still help Tan Jinheng take care of everything.
But in the future, who could help him when Tan Wenci wasn't able to?
Tan Mo had already taken over Tanyue. She couldn't let her take over her
brothers' studio for their sakes, right?
It would be better for Tan Jinqi and the rest to take charge of their studios at
the very least.
"Oh right, shouldn't Jinqi set up a studio as well?" Xu Mingzhen reminded, "I
noticed that those directors who have beconme famous all have their own
companies. Jinqi has just started, a company may be too excessive for now, but
he should still have a studio so that there can be someone to help him with
some trivial work."
Tan Jinqi said, "I planned for this before. I was planning to use a part of the
money from the show as the start-up capital to set up my own studio."
In that way, he wouldn't use the money from his own family.
He was already so old, and he had his own job. It would be ridiculous to spend
his family's money.
Fortunately, 'Broken Continent's' results were good and he could earn a lot
from it.
It was more than enough for him to open a studio.
Tan Wenci was gladdened to see that Tan Jinqi had his plans.
But when Tan Jinqi heard this, he felt that although he had not earned money
yet, it was indeed not good for him to use his family's money to open a studio.
He scratched his head and said, "Dad, why don't... I go on a few shows and
make enough money before opening a studio?
"Don't start bashing your head into a brick wall," Tan Jinqi said impatiently, "I
was lucky and earned enough to start a studio. However, you didn't earn much
by writing songs for 'Broken Continent. Even if you were to guest on shows, the
program team would only pay you at a newbie rate."
"Im not too sure about other shows, but I've heard of 'Singing Voice' before.
Because most singers were hoping to regain some popularity by going on the
show, they're already in the passive position. The show doesn't pay high rates
and go according to the market rates and they are fuly justified for doing so."
"There's a long wait before you earn enough money," said Tan Jinqi, "I have
confidence in you. You will become famous very quickly. But no matter how fast you are, it will take at least a year and a half. Don't tell me that before that,
you intend to do all the trivial things on your own?"
Tan Mo added on, "That's right. Big Brother is the eldest son. He's already so
old. It would be ridiculous if he didn't rely on himself"
Tan Zhan: ".."
It wasn't that ridiculous, was it?
"But second brother, you're different. You're so much younger than Big
Brother. Other boys your age would have only just graduated and started
working. Some wouldn't even have started working because they were
continuing their studies. They are also spending their family's money."
"Besides, didn't our Dad earn so much money for us to spend? Otherwise, who
else could he leave it for? Tan Mo said.
Tan Weni: ".."
Although there was nothing wrong with what she said, why was it a little
saddening to hear this?
Tan Jinyi also joined in, "Yeah, second brother, you should set up the studio
first. At most, when you earn money, you can let us spend it. It's the same. I
also believe that you will succeed in less than a year"
What a joke. He would succeed even if he was just an idiot with his three
seniors around.
However, Tan Jinyi was very considerate and did not say this out loud.

Otherwise, his second brother would be sad.
Fortunately, Tan Jinsheng was not a stubbom person.
After hearing what his three siblings said, he felt that it made sense. He

scratched his head and said to Tan Wenci sheepishly, "Dad, T'll have to rely on
you to provide some money. When I earn some money, Ill give you all my
money!"
Tan Jinsheng didn't say anything about returning the money.
As a family, it was to0 withdrawn to be talking about paying back.
If he said it out loud, his parents would probably be unhappy.
So he decided, if he earned money in the future, he would give it all to them
instead!
"Okay." Tan Wenci nodded with a smile.
Tan Jinsheng went to call the program team and expressed his interest in
participating as a challenger.
Auntie Guo was preparing dinner in the kitchen.
The aroma wafted out endlessly from the kitchen.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Xu Mingzhen went to the entrance and turned on the peephole camera. It was

She opened the door and hollered to the living room, "Zhiqian is here!"
No one moved or even felt anything.
There was nothing out of the ordinary that Wei Zhiqian was here.

When Tan Mo came back to stay, Wei Zhiqian was out on business. It was
natural that he couldın't come.
Today, Tan Mo had returned home because she was concerned about "Broken
Continent's' matters. It would be strange if Wei Zhiqian could stay by himself.
After entering the door, no one treated Wei Zhiqian as an outsider. Instead,
they invited him over to sit down and didn't go to the door personally to
welcome him.

welcome.
Wei Zhiqian did not need anyone to tend to him. He skillfully took out his
slippers from the shoe cabinet beside him and changed into them before
entering the living room.
He sat down beside Tan Mo and explained to everyone, "Mo Mo told me that she would come over to watch the grand finale of 'Broken Continent' tonight,
so I came along too."
Everyone: "...
The way he had phrased it was as if Tan Mo did not belong to this family
anymore.
It was infuriating and saddening to hear.
Tan Mo was kidnapped by this brat!
Auntie Guo came over to say that it was time for dinner.
Everyone went to the dining room.
The Tan family still hadn't recovered from their sadness.
At the dinner table, Tan Jinsheng shared with them the response from the
program team. "The first match will be recorded next Tuesday. The program
team wants me to sign the contract tomorrow."
"The first nmatch?" Xu Mingzhen had never paid attention to this program
before, so she didn't know the rules.
"This program hasn't been broadcast yet, right?" Tan Jinyi asked.
"Not yet. It's only in the recording stage right now. It shouldn't start
broadcasting until they' re halfway through the recording," Tan Jinsheng said.
"I didn't ask when it will start its broadcast. I can ask about it tomorrow." "I heard from the program team that there are new rules for this season. One
person will be eliminated in the odd-numbered episodes, while the challenge
matches are recorded on the even-numbered episodes. If the challenger is
successful, the person at the bottom of the rankings will be replaced. If the
challenger fails, the contestants will remain unchanged. When the next
episode of the odd-numbered episodes is over, they will continue with the
elimination of the last-place contestant," Tan Jinsheng said, "I will be
recording on the second episode."
"They probably want to take advantage of the popularity of 'Broken Continent'
while it lasts, so they approached me," Tan Jinsheng said.
"See what they have to offer you first when you go to talk to them tomorrow."
Wei Zhiqian reckoned that those behind 'Singing Voice' probably just wanted to
borrow Tan Jinsheng's momentary popularity for a while.
They would eliminate Tan Jinsheng in the first round.
After all, Tan Jinsheng was a newcomer and didn't have any other famous
songs aside from the OSTs for "Broken Continent'.
Of course, these songs could also be considered his famous works.
But in the eyes of most people, it was mostly because of Broken Continent's
popularity, many people listened to his songs and enjoyed them.
But there were no more.
of course, this was just Wei Zhiqian's guess. There was no basis for it, so he did
not tell Tan Jinsheng about it.
He did not want Tan Jinsheng to feel uncomfortable hearing his thoughts.
What if the program team of 'Singing Voice' decided to be a decent human
being for once?
This was also something that could not be determined.
Wei Zhiqian did not say it, but if he said it, it would probably surprise Tan
Wenci, Xu Mingzhen, Tan Jinqi, and Tan Mo.
At least, they had heard Liu Shengtai's meaning and figured so.
But Wei Zhiqian had already guessed it without hearing anything.
No wonder he was able to grasp Wei Feng tightly in his hands so swiftly.
"If it's not good, don't participate in their show. Don't let them do as they
please," Wei Zhiqian reminded.
"Why? What do you know? Tan Wenci immediately asked.
"Not much. I don't pay much attention to this program. It's just that Star Guest
station has always been unkind. All the big TV stations would have such issues,
but Star Giuest station takes the cake. They treat people extremely differently,
depending on their statuses. Even the ordinary employees who work there are
the same."
"Tm worried that the program team will look down on Jinsheng," Wei Zhiqian said.
Wei Zhiqian's words made the Tan family members, except for "Tan Jinsheng
and Tan Jinyi, confirm their previous guess.
Tan Jinsheng was probably going to be eliminated in the first round.
of course, if they were paying him enough, it wasn't an unacceptable
arrangement
The Tan family did not care how much money Tan Jinsheng could earn.
However, offering a higher price was also a form of affirmation to Tan
Jinsheng.
Who were they trying to insult by low-balling?
Tan Jingi had heard a lot of gossip in his interactions with many people in the
industry. "I've also heard of Star Guest station's habit of flattering the high and
trampling on the low. The entire television station has this attitude.
Presumably, it's hard for a single program to be an exception."
"If the singing program team can make that exception, that would be for the
best. But, Jinsheng, you should also be mentally prepared. I'm just afraid that
they wouldn't be an exception," Tan Jinqi said.
Although he didn't want to discourage Tan Jinsheng's enthusiasm, he still had
to prepare him mentally.
He didn't want Tam Jinsheng to go there in high spirits, full of expectations, but come back disappointed. It wouldn't be good if he was beaten up by the other
party's attitude.
He nodded. "I see."
"Second brother, I'll accompany you tomorrow." Tan Mo said, "You don't have a
studio, and don't have any staff. There are so many people on the program
team, and we can't let you go alone. No matter what the result is, we can't lose
in spirit."
Without waiting for an answer from Tan Jinsheng, Tan Jinqi also said, "Me
too."
"Both of you are still young. There must be someone as old as me around as
support." Tan Jinqi glanced at them and said.
Besides, to be a little narcissistic, the success of 'Broken Continent' had given
him a reputation. Even if he couldın't be promoted into an A-list director,
others wouldn't look down on him.
His presence there would be useful.
"Then I'll go with you guys too," Wei Zhiqian said.
Everyone: "..."
"Don't, don't do it." Tan Jinsheng hurriedly waved his hand and advised Wei
Zhiqian to give up this idea as soon as possible.

Wei Zhigian:
It wasn't easy for him to coax his eldest brother-in-law, was he being despised by his second brother-in-law now?
Tan Jinheng scratched his head and explained, "If you go there, the program team won't dare to have any other ideas. They might even make me the champion. Even if I don't emerge champion, they might just give me a second place."
"Tm going to participate in the singing competition because I want to advance based on my ability. If I'm eliminated, it's because I wasn't capable enough." Tan Jinsheng paused and frowned slightly before continuing, "But if they arrange for me to advance or be eliminated because of others, I won't
participate in the show."
Everyone looked at him in surprise. Tan Jinsheng laughed, "Do you really think I'm stupid?"
Tan Jinsheng glanced at Wei Zhigian, and said, "Just now... Brother-in-law has already said that much. How can I not understand?"

"It's no secret that all kinds of reality shows are scripted nowadays.'Singing Voice' probably has one too. I'm not famous yet, so I can't get any special treatment just by relying on a few songs. If the Star Guest station is going to make use of people, then they're probably planning on using me to ride on the
popularity of 'Broken Continent."
"Mn any case, I'll go there and take a look at the situation tomorrow and adapt to it."
"It's fine if Brother Zhigian doesn't go, but Big Brother and I must go," Tan Mo said. "Don't worry, Star Guest Station's program team won't give Big Brother any face."
Tan Jingi: ".."
Although it was the truth, saying it like that still hurt a little.
"Although 'Broken Continent' is popular, it's still within the scope of an online drama, It's also Big Brother's first drama, so it's hard to say what will happen in the future. As a veteran TV station, Star Guest station had always been arrogant. They have their sights set on a certain range of people in this
industry. Big Brother hasn't entered that range yet," Tan Mo said, "When I wrote the script for 'Legend of Wei and Jin', didn't I gain a bit of fame? But what could that do for me? Many people still think that I only succeeded in one film and that it doesn't mean anything. They continued to look down on me.
Similarly, the situation wouldn't be any better for Tan Jingi.
Tan Jingi was still feeling hurt when he saw Tan Jinsheng nodding his head in agreement. "I think so too."
Tan Jingi: ".."
"Then it's a deal." Tan Mo clapped her hands happily.
"Theard that recently, Kefeng Films is also interested in developing a singing variety show," Wei Zhigian said. "Moreover, they are intending to cooperate with a television station. There have been discussions with Donghua station and Kumquat station to see which side is more suitable."
"If things don't work out on 'Singing Voice', we can wait for what Kefeng Films is preparing," Wei Zhigian said.
"Then isn't the entire family ripping off Kefeng Films?"Tan Jinyi said subconsciously.
Wei Zhigian:
"How could it be seen that way? Jingi and Jinsheng's capabilities make it a win-win relationship with Kefeng Films. Do you see how successful 'Broken Continent' is?" Wei Zhigian said with a smile, He had a righteous look on his face as if his actions had nothing to do with entering by the back door.
"What kind of singing program are they planning for?" Tan Mo asked curiously.
"It's still in the planning stage. There's no definite conclusion at the moment. Essentially, it is going up against 'Singing Voice'," Wei Zhigian said, "We can't let 'Singing Voice' dominate the variety show rankings. Besides, Donghua stations and Kumquat stations have long disliked Star Guest station. It all
depends on which of these two TV stations is more inclusive and gives Kefeng more autonomy."
Wei Zhigian's words meant that Kefeng Films had plans as well. So at least there was a guarantee for Tan Jinsheng.
Tan Jinsheng didn't find that the invitation from 'Singing Voice' program team was that rare anymore.
Tan Jinsheng knew that he was fortunate to have the Tan family behind him, Wei Zhigian's help, and the support of his teacher and three seniors.

So he did not take the invitation for going on 'Singing Voice' program seriously.
Of course, he was happy to be invited because this was an affirmation of him.
But he could confidently say that he wouldn't participate if he didn't want to. It was precisely because he had so much support behind him that he had a choice and the opportunity to decide. If he didn't have their support, he would be on his own.
Should the program team be truly as Wei Zhigian said, without anyone's support, Tan Jinsheng would accept this loss and agree to it. No matter what, he would seize the chance to show his face before he could think of making it further.
"Okay." Tan Jinsheng agreed to it.

After eating, everyone gathered in the theatre room.
Originally, The Tan family wasn't particular about such things and watched their shows on TV in the living room.
If the TV station didn't broadcast it, they'd watch it on their phones or tablets.
The main thing was that Tan Wencil was busy with work and Tan Mo was also absent from home every day.
The three brothers were also busy with their things.
Xu Mingzhen was the only one who liked to watch some movies and TV dramas.
But now, Tan Jingi was officially starting out as a director.
Tan Wenci thought that in the future, there would definitely be more and more works by Tan Jingi. Tan Jinsheng would also make more appearances on television too.
So, he decided to change one of the guest rooms in the house into a theatre room.

He spent tens of thousands of yuan to buy a curtain and a projector and even a separate audio system.
He wanted to maximize the quality of the sound when he watched the shows directed by Jingi and listened to the songs sung by Jinsheng.
He also made the walls sound-proof, just like a theater.
No matter how loud the sound was, as long as the door was closed, it could not be transmitted out. The sound effect was much better like this too.
It was also convenient for the whole family to watch shows together.
Auntie Guo cut up some fruits while Xu Mingzhen and Tan Mo each brought back a basket of wine and drinks.
The Tan brothers each brought two plates of various snacks.
There were the spicy duck neck, wings, feet, and the tender, freshly marinated chicken feet that Auntie Guo had just prepared in the afternoon.
There were also the desserts from the shop that Xu Mingzhen usually ordered from.
There were also all kinds of dried meat, dried plums, chips, and fries that Tan Jinsheng had ordered from the supermarket.
They were going to watch four episodes at one go.
To watch them to their heart's content, they had to snack as they watched.
Tan Wencil took the remote control and turned on the projector.
He took the tablet and entered Kefeng Films and refreshed it. The update of 'Broken Continent' happened to appear on his feed.
Tan Wenci bought all the remaining episodes and projected them onto the projector.
"Broken Continent' lasts for an hour per episode, even if the opening and ending songs were skipped.
By the time they finished watching four episodes, it would be slightly past midnight.
It was already so late, so they were going to make Tan Mo stay.
Although the Tan family knew that Tan Mo was definitely staying with Wei Zhigian.
However, they did not say anything, They even pretended not to know and said, "Tan Mo, the dormitory doors would be closed by the time you head back. Stay at home for tonight."
