After Rebirth, I Decided To Inherit the Family Property

Chapter 43 – It seems that someone is following us.

Song Yunran wanted to say “no” with dignity, but his desire to live did not allow him to do so.

So he had to say vaguely, “It’s already October when you come back, there are many things to do in the second half of the year, I’m not always free.”

Qin Ke sincerely said, “It’s okay, I can accommodate your time.”

“……then we can talk about it then.
I’m sleepy, good night.”

Song Yunran hurriedly hung up the phone, feeling that he had barely secured a temporary break in his sentence, but was not completely safe.

The first few nights when he got the Xinghe certificate, he hoped that time would pass faster, it would be better to jump to a good time to invest in the project to make money obediently.

Now, he can only pray that time passes slower, and slower, so that he can experience what it means to spend days like years.

Unfortunately, the flow of time does not revolve around Song Yunran’s volition.

He had no choice but to devote all his energy to work, and try not to think about Qin Ke.

The next month, fortunately, Xinghe did enter a busy period of business.

The few variety projects invested in February have been aired, and as Song Yunran expected, the broadcast and popularity did not make much of a splash.
However, the good thing is that several of Star River’s artists are quite bright, and new resources came to the door before the show was complete, and the contracts were signed in the past few days, so they made a small profit.

When Song Yunran learned of the news, he was at first a bit puzzled.

In the previous life, Xinghe’s artists were all in the show and had no effective exposure, so why in this life they were able to give a remarkable performance.

In this regard, Assistant Tang’s explanation was: “The program team, for the sake of you and Ning Dong, properly gave our artists more opportunities to perform.
They themselves were very competitive and did not waste the scripts issued by the program team.”

Song Yunran frowned, in the end, they still had to use his influence.

When exactly will these people learn to walk on their own?

Assistant Tang did not understand why Mr.
Song was unhappy again, and continued to report with a strong head: “The “After I Met You” that is being filmed has already been negotiated with the beverage company’s implantation plan, and has now entered the contract process.
The “The Legend of Nan Hua” offline IP development plan you proposed has more stakeholders involved, and it may take until later this month to develop a detailed cooperation plan.”

Song Yunran gave a “hmm”, not dissatisfied with the latter’s progress.

The “The Legend of Nan Hua” is Xinghe’s key project for next year, Zhong Xiaofeng is still diligently working on the script at the hotel, and the accompanying game development is just starting, so the offline cooperation will be fine as long as it can be negotiated before the shooting starts.

“In addition, the results of the “Hongbai Xixi” sent for examination came out, they edited another version according to the opinions above.”

Assistant Tang deliberately asked, “Do you want to go see it yourself?”

Song Yunran hesitated, he didn’t want to see Qin Ke’s face for the time being.

But “Hongbai Xixi” is the first shot of Xinghe’s turnaround battle, a slight mistake will affect his road as president.
Therefore, to be on the safe side, he still can’t take it lightly.

“Do you still need to ask?” Song Yunran frowned, “Say hello to them, I will go over now.”

Assistant Tang: “……good.”

What’s going on these days, he wondered, Xiao Song’s mood is not very stable ah.

After contacting the filmmakers of “Hongbai Xixi”, Assistant Tang accompanied Song Yunran to the production company.

On the way, Song Yunran turned his head to look out of the window, then closed his eyes to contemplate.
Then his eyes were staring at some place, and he looked more and more confused.

“Mr.
Song, what kind of difficulty are you having?” Assistant Tang couldn’t help but express his concern.

Song Yunran looked at him sadly: “You can’t solve it by talking about it.”

Assistant Tang felt deeply guilty, feeling that he was not a good assistant.
He could not even do the minimum of sharing his worries for the president.

At this moment, the car just drove past a shopping mall.
He had a bright idea and pointed out the window, “Look, Qin Ke’s giant poster!”

Song Yunran was so frightened that his eyelashes even trembled three times, and his eyes looked out uncontrollably.

Now it’s September, it’s the time when all the brands are competing to launch the new fall models.

The glass walls of large shopping malls have also been replaced with promotional posters of the new season’s main styles.
Among them, the most eye-catching one is still the one of Qin Ke.

The vast Aspen forest that looks like the background in the photo is only a backdrop.

A black trench coat occupies the main perspective of the picture, Qin Ke is holding an umbrella, looking slightly sideways into the distance.
It seems as if raindrops can seep out of the humid air at any time, while he is dressed up and is about to go on a romantic date.

’

The photographer’s composition is clever, a static poster captured a sense of imaginative storytelling.

The vehicle did not slow down and sped through the busy commercial area.

The scene that he saw just now was branded in Song Yunran’s mind.

Assistant Tang is still introducing: “I heard that after the launch of this group of ads, many people entered the store directly to buy his whole set of clothes.
It’s just the beginning, the turnover has doubled compared to the same period in previous years.
The brand has already approached Chen Jing and offered to change the short-term endorsement into a long-term one.”

Song Yunran said half-heartedly: “The effect is that good? Not his fans to rush sales, right?”

“It’s not really fans.” Assistant Tang said, “Some people don’t even know Qin Ke, they think he is a professional model hired from nowhere.”

Song Yunran: “So impressive?”

Assistant Tang answered honestly: “Of course, Qin Ke has not even released two movies yet, and he can show such excellent business value.
When “Hongbai Xixi ” and “Jianghu Lu” are released, the company can make a lot of money with him alone.”

Speaking of this, Assistant Tang has already become joyful instead of the boss first.

Which boss would not be excited to hear that his employees can make money, he simply thought, that is all real money income ah.

He simply thought, that is real income.
Seeing Qin Ke so well, Xiao Song should be happy now.

Who knows that Song Yunran’s face is even more ugly than just now.

He pursed his lips and went through a tangle before asking in a slow voice: “In your opinion, is he more powerful than me a president?”

“……?”

Assistant Tang hurriedly shook his head: “Absolutely not! Qin Ke was discovered by you, how can he compare to you?”

Song Yunran turned his head: “Really? You didn’t secretly defect to the enemy camp in your heart, right?”

Then prepare for the day my nightmare become true, to capture my monica to please Qin Ke.

Assistant Tang did not understand how Qin Ke, as a company artist, suddenly became an enemy.

He thought about it and tried, “Are you in a bad mood because of Qin Ke?”

“…… No!”

Song Yunran immediately denied, saying angrily, “Are you thinking nonsense again?”

Assistant Tang hurriedly shook his head, he lost his year-end bonus, how dare he still think nonsense.

“It’s fine if it’s not, it has nothing to do with Qin Ke anyway.” Song Yunran said back firmly.

Assistant Tang’s heart is wild, he really can’t figure out what’s going on between Xiao Song and Qin Ke, this complicated interpersonal relationship makes him even have self-doubt.

Or should I enroll in a training course to improve myself?

He was thinking about this when the driver told them their destination was here.

Song Yunran, fearing that Assistant Tang would dwell on the issue of Qin Ke, did not wait for Assistant Tang to help him open the door, he swooped outside the car and quickly walked towards the other producers of Hong Bai Xi Xi who were waiting outside.
He shook hands and exchanged pleasantries with them with a smile on his face.

Assistant Tang numbly watched the scene of the friendly meeting and felt that there was really a problem after all.

Now he dared not think about the strange aspect.
After pondering for half a day, he could only come to one conclusion.

Maybe Qin Ke followed Fang Zhou’s example and was ready to terminate his contract with the company?

Ah this ……

This would be too much of a mistake.

Assistant Tang sent a message to Chen Jing, reminding her to pay attention to Qin Ke’s recent movements.
He also highlighted that Xiao Song was unhappy about it recently.

Chen Jing, who received the message, stared at the screen for half a day before confirming that she had read it correctly.

She flew to the set of “Jianghu Lu” to talk to Qin Ke for some other work today, at this moment the shooting is not finished yet, she also sat next to others and waited.

Chen Jing didn’t reply in a hurry, but thought carefully about Qin Ke’s performance in recent time, and thought that from an agent’s point of view, it was impossible to point out any mistakes.

’

Could it be that Qin Ke had done something while she was unaware of it?

“Xiao Ke, you were also present when Xiao Song was here last time.”

Chen Jing put down her phone and turned her head to ask the artist’s assistant, “Did Qin Ke and Xiao Song, at that time, have an unpleasant time?”

Xiao Ke froze: “No, I see that they have a good relationship.
The day Xiao Song arrived, there was no room in the hotel, and they slept together.”

Chen Jing: “You think about it again?”

Xiao Ke obediently recalled: “Ah, one night Cheng Jiaming went to the room of small Song to play a game, the next day Qin Ke seemed to be in a very bad mood.”

The intuition of being a woman made Chen Jing’s eyebrows lock: “Any more?”

“Uh …… also happened that day.
It was when you made a phone call with Qin Ke, and then I saw him, him ……”

Xiao Ke scratched his face , somehow a little embarrassed, whispered, “He from the Weibo, saved a video of him and Xiao Song overall.”

Chen Jing was stunned and raised her eyebrows unexpectedly, “Are you sure you saw it right?”

“I saw it clearly.
Sister Jing, do you think Qin Ke would be……”

The rest of the words, Xiao Ke did not dare to say directly, can only frantically use the eyes to imply.

Chen Jing did not take a stand, she is not an impulsive person.
Before opening her mouth on anything, she will surely dish out a logic in her mind.

In theory, Xinghe does not have the rule that artists are not allowed to fall in love, but no one has thought about what kind of measures should be taken if an artist is involved with the boss.

Besides, according to the analysis of the situation that Assistant Tang came through her to remind, these two people even if there is something, it is only in the budding stage.
Otherwise, they just need to communicate directly, where is the need to bother Assistant Tang.

After thinking for a long time, Chen Jing replied: [Qin Ke did not mention the idea of termination, but I will pay more attention, thank you.]

Assistant Tang looked at this message and couldn’t help but sigh.

It seems that Chen Jing is still not alert enough, and only he who accompanies the Xiao Song General can find out the unknown differences from the mere words of the boss.

“Ready to play then?”

At this moment, a voice coming from his side interrupted his thoughts.

Assistant Tang raised his head and found that the representative of the producer of “Hong Bai Xi Xi” was ready and about to play the just-edited prototype for them, so he pushed out his phone and waited to watch it.

Song Yunran was also ready.

After the lights went down, he sat on the sofa and stared intently at the projection screen, carefully comparing the image in front of him with the completed film from his memory.

This version has not yet added the soundtrack, but with just the human voice and ambient sound, the film already presents those wonderfully interesting aspects of the solid script.

Other staff members have seen the film too many times, the overall situation is still normal.
The only one in the audience who watched “Hong Bai Xi Xi” for the first time was Assistant Tang, who from time to time laughed out of the goose during the film, and his elite persona of not smiling collapsed into a mess.

The audience did not care about this, they treated Assistant Tang as the future audience, seeing the audience laughing so happily, everyone’s heart also overflowed with a great sense of confidence and pride, and their faces could not help but smile happily.

Only Song Yunran remained silent the whole time, his heart was cold.

When he was shooting on the set, he was amazed at Qin Ke’s performance on the set, which was even better than what he saw in the cinema later.
But at that time, he thought it was because of the editing and didn’t put it on his mind.

But when he took a look today, he obviously found that Qin Ke’s acting in the movie was much better than the overall effect presented in his previous life.

In his previous life, Qin Ke, who had just graduated from university, made his first film, and although his lines and micro-expressions were far above the level of his peers.
However, if we really look into it, there is still room for further refinement.

This is the reason why he could only get the best newcomer award with “Hongbai Xixi” and was not able to nominate the best actor.

However right now it seems ……

Song Yunran blinked his eyes.

It’s not good, I’m afraid Qin Ke is going to fly to the sky.

After watching the movie, Song Yunran felt even heavier than before.

He lifted his spirits after praising everyone.
He went back to the car depressed and thought about which way he should beg for forgiveness to look more sincere when Qin Ke came back.

’

I wonder if it’s still too late to be a good brother.

Song Yunran is very sad, on the way back to the company, two eyebrows have not been relaxed.

Assistant Tang saw him sulking and was about to say something when he saw Song Yunran suddenly sit up straight and turn his head to look behind the car.

“It seems that someone is following us.” Song Yunran said nervously.

Assistant Tang looked back, only to see the vehicles on the road as usual, no abnormalities could be seen: “No ah, you are probably too tired, I will let the driver take you home directly.”

Song Yunran was stunned, that weird hunch just now seemed to have disappeared again.

Is it really an illusion?

Or had Qin Ke already predicted the success that was close at hand, and had already prepared his men to deal with him first?

Once a thought arises, it always lingers.

For the next period of time, Song Yunran is always suspicious.
Every day when he goes out, he has to look around, very afraid that someone will suddenly come out and sack him.

What’s even more frightening is that as the time of Qin Ke’s return approached, the terror of being secretly observed became even more intense, but the people around him were completely unaware of it.
It seemed that the other party was coming for him personally.

The day that Qin Ke finally finished his work, Song Yunran couldn’t hold back.

He decided to make a reservation for a restaurant to eat at, and then sent the address to Qin Ke, so that the other party could come to him directly after getting off the plane.

Qin Ke arrived at the airport in Yan City at 5pm.

He opened his phone and saw the message from Song Yunran, frowned lightly, and then made a phone call.

Song Yunran was sitting in his office, he knew the time of Qin Ke’s landing and was mentally prepared in advance.
When he saw the familiar name light up on the screen, he cleared his throat and picked up, “You’ve arrived?”

In just three words, he uttered the dark momentum of the black market trading pair’s secret code.

Qin Ke replied: “Just arrived.
Do you want to meet tonight?”

“Can’t you?”

In Song Yunran’s mind, there is already a wonderful picture of his battle with Qin Ke tonight at the top of the Imperial City, his tone is more serious, “Are you afraid?”

Qin Ke: “……”

In his view, to Song Yun, tonight should just be an ordinary meal, there is no need to use the word “afraid “.

However, Xiao Song’s mind has always been overly active, and he did not know what the other side had made up, and could only patiently explain: “It’s the rush hour, I may be a bit stuck in traffic, and I may be late to the restaurant.”

Song Yunran sneered: “That’s okay, I’ll wait for you no matter how late you are.”

After saying that, he hung up the phone coolly, taking the big brother’s style to death.

Very well, losers do not lose the battle.

He raised his head proudly, turned on the front camera of his phone, and organized the formal clothes that he had purposely worn today.

The moment he stepped out of the president’s office door, Song Yunran felt the magnificent BGM almost sounded.

“Hello, Xiao Song.”

A passing employee greeted him with a smile.

Song Yunran nodded in greeting, his eyebrows were full of decisive implications of the shopping center elite.

After he left, the employees whispered.

“Xiao Song is so serious today, not the same as his usual cute and loving appearance.”

“He wouldn’t want to take the domineering president route again, right?”

“…… is possible.”

Song Yunran did not take Assistant Tang, bending alone into the car, closing the door.
His fingertips touched the slightly cool autumn breeze.

’

He raised his eyes and looked at the street trees dancing lightly with the wind, and could not help but sigh: “The wind has risen.”

The driver in charge of closing the door thought he was talking to himself and subconsciously said, “Yes, it’s quite windy today.”

“This is the mountain storm is full of wind?”

Song Yunran whispered a laugh, eyes swept through a deep, “Then let the storm come more violently.”

Driver: “……”

It’s just that little Song has been acting weird lately, probably watching some kind of drama that he shouldn’t.

Half an hour later, the driver parked the car in the restaurant’s own parking lot.

He helped Song Yunran open the car door and asked, “I’ll wait for you here?”

Song Yunran hesitated for a moment: “No, you can also find a place to eat.”

He is going to a Hongmen Banquet today, in case Qin Ke wants him to kneel down and call him brother, he does not want too many acquaintances to see him there.

Just when the driver was about to turn around and leave, Song Yunran’s back was chilled.

He experienced the uneasiness that Cheng Jiaming felt on the set, and felt someone staring at him from behind.
But when he looked back, his eyes searched the parking lot and still found nothing.

“I think someone is watching me.” Song Yunran called out to the driver and said seriously.

The driver was apathetic, for the past half month, Song Yunran often said similar nonsense, so he did not know how to answer.

He mulled over the need to reflect this situation to Director Song, while comforting: “Then I’ll send you into the store?”

“……Forget it.”

Song Yunran saw that the driver did not believe his words, helplessly waved his hand, “You go.”

After saying goodbye to the driver, Song Yunran followed the parking lot instructions to take the elevator.

Halfway there, Qin Ke sent a message that he had also arrived, Song Yunran replied “See you in the restaurant”, and was about to reach out to press the elevator button when his phone vibrated again.

Song Yunran was speechless for a while.

What’s wrong? Without dad to lead the way, you can’t even find the elevator that goes directly to the restaurant?

He frowned and opened his phone again, but found that this time, he received a text message from an unfamiliar number.

‘I can see you.’

Song Yunran’s brain “buzzed”, and adrenaline shot up in a flash.

He looked at the elevator that arrived late in front of him, and then the sound of heavy footsteps echoed in his ears.

Thud, thud.

In less than two seconds, the eerie footsteps had stopped behind him.

“Mr.
Song, how are you?” A gloomy, raspy voice rang out like a ghost.

Song Yunran turned his head and saw a face that was somewhat familiar.

After a moment, he recognized it.

It was Chu Xiao Chen.

The author has something to say.

This time it is not a delusion ⊙▽⊙
Chu Xiao Chen is the actor who was revealed by the Xiao Song for cheating in marriage huh, for you all little goldfish brains concerned.
