Zero-sum game

"Hello? Tell me something, I'm still busy." Mo Qiang answered the phone, turned on the speakerphone, and continued to concentrate on sorting out the materials in hand.

After graduating from university, she first went abroad to study as a graduate student for two years. After graduation, she returned to China and went to her father's friend's company to experience grassroots life for a few months. A while ago, she returned to her company as the administrative director and began to slowly take over her own business. It's been a really busy time.

Mo Rui sat in the corner of the rest room of the filming crew, and a bunch of staff beside her were still drinking and chatting. She swallowed, and whispered: "Qiangqiang, sister has something to trouble you."

Mo Qiang snorted, "Have you finally gotten tired of being Zhou Xingchuan's maid?"

Mo Rui is about the same age as her, and she really wants to be called Sister Mo Rui in terms of kinship.

But Mo Rui's family is not as rich as Mo Qiang's father, which is an ordinary well-off family.Two years ago, Mo Rui wanted to join a brokerage company, but because of her inexperience, she had to bow her head and beg Mo Qiang, who was well-versed in her family.Sure enough, Mo Qiang helped her solve it easily, and the boss who took her was the famous Jin Zhu.

So although Mo Rui was a little older than Mo Qiang, she felt that she was a head shorter than her, and she was always very cautious when speaking to her.

"No..." Mo Rui walked out of the room, and it became much quieter outside, "Do you know a man named Shen Yan?"

Mo Qiang's hand on the keyboard stopped, her brows frowned, and her fingernails made of exquisitely extended armor made a slightly harsh sound on the table. She picked up the phone and asked, "Why are you asking him? How do you know this person's name?" ?”

Sure enough, Mo Qiang knew about it, and Mo Rui asked: "What kind of relationship did he have with Zhou Xingchuan at the beginning? Did they meet again after Zhou Xingchuan's car accident?"

Mo Qiang didn't answer her question, she frowned and asked, "Where is Shen Yan? Has Zhou Xingchuan seen him?"

"Uh... yes..."

"Where are you filming?" Mo Qiang stood up and asked.

Mo Rui only knew that she and Zhou Xingchuan were childhood sweethearts, and didn't know about the entanglements with Shen Yan. She felt a little strange about Mo Qiang's such a big reaction, and felt a little regretful that she shouldn't have called her, saying: "In Changzhou , a village called Xiaohe Village."

Of course, Mo Qiang had never heard of such a place in a ravine. She stood up, looked at the busy traffic outside the office building, sighed secretly, and murmured, "... Is there really such a thing as a narrow road..."

"What?" The voice was too low for Mo Rui to hear clearly.

"It's nothing, if you see him, you will see him. Does Zhou Xingchuan still miss him?"

Mo Rui thought for a while, "You can say that."

After studying abroad for two years, Mo Qiang had very little contact with Zhou Xingchuan.

Zhou Xingchuan knew what she helped his parents do to Shen Yan after the car accident.But Mo Qiang assured that she had no malicious intentions at all, she just wanted to minimize the negative impact Shen Yan had brought on Zhou Xingchuan, but she still felt guilty in her heart.

After Zhou Xingchuan woke up, Mo Qiang went to see him once, but from sitting in the bright sun at noon to dusk, Zhou Xingchuan never said a word to her.

Soon after, she accepted her father's arrangement to study abroad.

Mo Qiang knew in her heart that no matter how much she loved her, she probably couldn't match Shen Yan's position in Zhou Xingchuan's heart, so she took a gamble and didn't contact Zhou Xingchuan until she returned to China a while ago.

She went back and forth to pass the news to Zhou Xingchuan that she had returned to China and everyone was going to hold a dust-cleaning banquet for her, but he just refused on the grounds that he didn't have time, which made Mo Qiang feel cold again.

Now that she heard the news that Zhou Xingchuan met Shen Yan again, she felt an unspeakable relief.

"They used to be together, and they didn't break up voluntarily. The news about Shen Yan was quite big at the time, and you should still be able to find it now," Mo Qiang said, "But it's completely irrelevant to Zhou Xingchuan. At most, you can find out that they have acted in dramas together before."

This was also expected by Mo Rui, "These things about Shen Yan are true? He looks quite decent..."

"It's half true and half false on the Internet. In short, it's best that you don't let him have any relationship with Zhou Xingchuan." Mo Qiang hung up the phone after finishing speaking.

Mo Rui on the other end felt mixed feelings. He was happy that Zhou Xingchuan himself had no dark history, and worried about the current situation. How could it be possible for them to have nothing to do with each other?

At night, at the home of Village Chief Zhao in Xiaohe Village, Zhao Xiaozao, the grandson of the village chief, was playing with an Android smartphone under the covers.

This is his sister's old mobile phone. When he came back years ago, he got a card for his mother to use, but his mother didn't understand, and the network signal in the mountains was bad enough, so it was thrown in the drawer and has been useless.

Zhao Xiaozao touched it quietly, and secretly took it out every night to watch cartoons, play games and so on.

Therefore, I can't get up every morning, and I always arrive at school 2 minutes before I am late.

But tonight is different, he is not in the mood to play games anymore, just looking at the background of his short video account is enough for him to enjoy himself.He has never seen so many likes and comments. Every time he clicks on the homepage, the number on it will be refreshed to a larger number, and even his fans are also rising.

He actually took two videos in total, and they were all secretly filmed by the crew yesterday after school.It was because Song Tongtong was photographed in a video that attracted many of her fans to watch.

The most common comment was asking him if he had any other videos, so Zhao Xiaozao secretly decided to continue shooting some videos and upload them tomorrow.This is much more interesting than going to school. I didn't expect so many people to pay attention to him.

How about shooting that male celebrity named Zhou?I heard that many people like him...

Zhao Xiaozao thought about it and slowly fell asleep.

"Can you tell me what's on your mind? Huh?" Jin Zhu threw the manuscript on the table, and the voice came through the phone receiver, which shocked Mo Rui on the other end.

Early the next morning, Mo Rui pleaded guilty, took the initiative to ask Jin Zhu to admit her mistake, and then reported Shen Yan's relevant information to her.

Being yelled at by Jin Zhu like this, Mo Rui felt aggrieved, and it wasn't that she wanted to fire amateur CP.

However, no matter how unconvinced I was in my heart, I could only say yes, "Yes, I'm sorry, Miss Jin, I didn't think about it..."

"Forget it, forget it," Jin Zhu asked again, "how was Zhou Xingchuan's condition yesterday?"

Mo Rui raised her head and glanced at Zhou Xingchuan, who was just looking at the village primary school on the hillside, "It's, it's okay."

"How many days are you going to film?"

"Three days, return to Dingchuan at the end of this week."

Jin Zhu thought for a while, "Forget it, let it take its course and tell the director Zhang or something not to shoot that amateur, it's bad luck."

"Hey, okay," Mo Rui repeatedly agreed, "I see."

"Do you think everything will be fine for you?" Jin Zhu heard that she seemed relieved, and said again, "Look more at what is suitable for marketing, let Zhou Xingchuan wink, don't be cut off by then." Come to me and cry."

Mo Rui had no choice but to express again and again that she understood, thinking that not only would Zhou Xingchuan not cry, but he would also be glad that he didn't have to shoot variety shows...

After hanging up the phone, she rubbed her temples, feeling like she was about to have a migraine.

The film crew over there is filming breakfast time, and everyone is busy with breakfast. The staple food is Changzhou's special plain noodles cooked by "old man" Ding Yiqiang.

Zhou Xingchuan felt that the kitchen couldn't help him, so he fed the little yellow dog of the village chief's house at the gate of the yard, and of course there was a camera following him.

This dog understands human nature, and after knowing that this group of inexplicable people did not have any malicious intentions, he quickly got to know the film crew and actors very well, and even got a lot of ham sausage to eat.

At this time Song Tongtong came out and asked, "Brother Xiaochuan, do you eat spicy food?"

Zhou Xingchuan was aroused by this title again, but his expression was clueless, and he said, "It's edible, as long as it's not too spicy."

"Okay." Song Tongtong may have disliked having too much oil on his hands, so he wiped his face with the back of his hand, but the dust on the back of his hand rubbed against his face again, turning into a gray mark.

Her skin is already well maintained, so it adds a bit of cuteness.

Seeing this, Zhou Xingchuan was about to remind her, but she had already turned and went into the kitchen.

Then there was the part of taking pictures of the breakfast, everyone tacitly reserved seats for the two juniors, as soon as they sat down, the "big sister" Bai Ying noticed the ashes on Song Tongtong's face, and everyone urged Zhou Xingchuan to wipe it for her.

Song Tongtong showed a bit of shyness at the right time, and Zhou Xingchuan couldn't refuse, so he had to wipe it off for her.

After a few days, the two of them seemed to be the official partners in this show. Everyone created such "romantic little details" for them everywhere, which made Zhou Xingchuan very annoyed.
