Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 352 The Qingtao Sisters, A Perfect Match! Wan Qian's Filming Diary!

Beijing.

"Xiao Qing, you've been behaving strangely this time."

"Sister Tao, what's strange about me?"

"Speaking out like this all of a sudden? Isn't that strange?"

"Am I wrong to do this? The affairs of the world are not for the people of the world to manage. Besides, you and I both work at the TV station. Maybe one day we will be falsely accused like Teacher Cui."

Besides, we're both women. What if they spread rumors about us?

"What you said does make sense, but what's the story with Ma Xun?"

"Oh? Me and him? Sister Tao, are you that curious about this?"

Zou Tao's arrival was quite sudden, which made Dong Qing a little flustered, and she hurriedly ended her phone call with Ma Xun.

But now, Dong Qing seems to have turned the tide.

Zou Tao was indeed a little flustered at this moment, but after all, he was a well-known host who was used to big scenes, so he smiled and said, "Didn't you just say that it has something to do with us? Is it a problem if I'm just curious?"

This uses the logic that Dong Qing just used.

Moreover, there's a hidden meaning here: we are all connected to Ma Xun.

Dong Qing understood immediately, and she couldn't help but laugh, "So, it's Sister Tao who's jealous."

"I didn't!" Zou Tao denied it somewhat anxiously.

Dong Qing simply pulled Zou Tao's hand and placed her other hand on top of it, saying, "Sister Tao, don't you understand Ma Xun at all?"

"Understand him? Understand what about him?"

"It's true that he's a womanizer with many women around him, and he's ruthless in his actions, so he has many enemies. But haven't you noticed that he hasn't done anything particularly outrageous?"
He has always had a strong sense of principles.

Take now, for example, he's talking to me... isn't that to help me?
So maybe he's a good person.

Upon hearing Dong Qing's words, Zou Tao was taken aback.

In fact, Zou Tao also had some feelings about this, but she still felt that Ma Xun was a guy who was both righteous and evil, and it was difficult to define him as a good person.

After all, in Zou Tao's mind, a guy who was so good at playing around with women probably couldn't be considered a good person.

But Dong Qing's statement... Zou Tao realized that Dong Qing was indeed more outstanding than himself, or perhaps because she was younger, her thinking was more modern.

"So what if you're a good person? So what if I don't understand? I just think you were a bit too reckless this time."

This has once again brought the topic back to Dong Qing.

"Okay, it's my fault, but I just couldn't help it." Dong Qing admitted it immediately, but she didn't let go of her hand, nor did her smile fade.

On the contrary, Zou Tao felt that he was at a disadvantage... This feeling was very strange.

"Just tell me straight, why did you do this?"

"What is Sister Tao talking about?"

"Isn't it all because you insisted on putting on this 'speaking out for justice' act?"

Didn't I just answer that?

"Is that considered an answer?"

"Why not?"

"Fine, since you're not going to tell me, then I'll..."

At this point, Zou Tao simply broke free from Dong Qing's hand and turned to leave.

But then, Dong Qing's voice finally came from behind her.

"I want to buy one!"

Finally said it.

Zou Tao turned around and saw that Dong Qing still had a smiling face.

"You, you can still laugh?"

"Sister Tao, why can't I laugh? Is there anything wrong with wanting to buy a set?"

That's right! Dong Qing is striving to be the best.

Moreover, this is a set; which host across the country wouldn't want to get on board?

Zou Tao laughed when he heard her say that.

“There’s nothing wrong with it. Of course I’m happy that you’re so open with me.”

Her change made Dong Qing smile.

Could it be that the two sisters have finally resolved their differences?
Before Dong Qing could say anything, Zou Tao asked a question in return.

"You don't just want to get into a studio, you probably still want to get the 'Tell It Like It Is' show, right?"

Wow! That's really impressive!
Dong Qing still smiled, and even said in a coquettish tone, "Sister Tao, as expected, nothing can be hidden from you."

At this moment, Zou Tao took Dong Qing's hand and said, "It's not a bad thing to be ambitious, but you've gone a bit too far in your actions. That's why your boss told you to go home and rest."

"Really?" Dong Qing was surprised.

Zou Tao continued, "Actually, your ambition is a bit too obvious. Of course, if you don't do it this way, you won't have any chance at all. As it stands now, it's not too bad."

The meaning of this statement is quite clear.

Dong Qing smiled broadly, "Sister Tao, could it be that you're planning to help me?"

She was testing him, or perhaps she was actually asking: Did Ma Xun arrange for you, Zou Tao, to do this?

Unfortunately, she feels the timing isn't right if she doesn't ask this question now.

In reality, Zou Tao had no contact with Ma Xun at all.

This time, she figured it out entirely on her own.

"Of course, we should help each other."

Zou Tao was sincere when he said that.

The two of them should form an alliance to support each other while setting up the stage.

It's much more powerful when you can take care of each other.

Dong Qing understood what she meant and was even happier. She then said in a coquettish tone, "Sister, you have to help me a lot!"

"well……"

Seeing how cooperative Dong Qing was, Zou Tao didn't say anything.

Next, she helped Dong Qing analyze the current situation.

"Although your previous 'speaking out for justice' had some problems, overall, you did a good thing, and they couldn't do anything about it. Moreover, this did indeed have a connection with the 'Tell It Like It Is' program."

Based on the current public opinion and my observation, it seems unlikely that Cui Yongyuan will be able to withstand the pressure.

Sigh, he's really pitiful. He didn't do anything wrong, yet he suffered this undeserved misfortune.

I estimate he can hold on for a little longer, maybe a month or more. Given his mental state, I've told him to see a doctor more than once.

But the program "Tell It Like It Is" cannot be stopped. As you know, it is one of the top programs on our TV station.

So, someone has to pick you up, and that person... would most likely be someone from the production crew, but this time you came out...

Actually, there would be a very big problem if their production crew came to pick them up.

That's just like the plot of the movie "Cellphone". After all, a production team would definitely have more opportunities to interact.

Your advantage lies in the fact that you are currently a second-tier buyer, so you are still considered an outsider, and the latest news proves...

Is your boyfriend Ma Xun?

"Sister Tao~ It was just an act between them and Ma Xun, why did you take it so seriously?"

"You guys want this show? Then we'll have to analyze it carefully."

Zou Tao's analysis was truly impressive; indeed, it's the experts who see the details.

Dong Qing was overjoyed and kept sticking close to her sister Tao.

That's wonderful, the two are just like sisters.

It seems that Dong Qing is about to enter the scene, and may even secure the rights to the show "Tell It Like It Is." All of this...

It was all part of Ma Xun's plan?!
……

Xi'an.

In the hotel's luxury suite.

A satisfied groan signaled the end of a connection.

Ma Xun certainly didn't have time to analyze what had happened between Dong Qing and Zou Tao; he had to focus all his energy on dealing with He Qing.

There's nothing I can do; I was genuinely quite surprised.

He Qing was really very different from before.

It's not just that she's particularly proactive; the key point is that she seems to have that kind of... last-minute enthusiasm.

I can understand that.

There's a saying in Northeast China: "You're not going to live anymore?!"

That's pretty much it.

In other words, Ma Xun is exceptionally talented, and he is currently at his peak age.

Otherwise, I'd probably be completely at the mercy of this beautiful mature woman.

The clouds have cleared and the rain has stopped.

Then let's talk it over, and more importantly, ask for the reason.

As a result, I felt better.

Before Ma Xun could even ask, He Qing had already spoken up.

"This was absolutely terrifying."

"Huh? Could it be..."

"I watched as a friend was taken away with my own eyes, I was going crazy, I..."

"Wait a minute, so this time you came..."

"I'm fine with it, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't cooperate, but, but, I'm really scared."

Alright, now you know why. It turns out He Qing was scared by this SA-RS incident.

You can't blame her for being timid.

Without saying a word, Ma Xun quickly offered some words of comfort.

He Qing, however, was thinking more deeply. "You know, if I were to die like this, then..."

Don't think about these things.

"But everyone has to die eventually."

"I told you not to think about it."

"I've also heard that this disease..."

"Don't spread rumors. Have faith in our country and our strength. We will definitely win this time!"

Ma Xun's statement is absolutely correct.

It's perfectly acceptable to describe them as righteous and awe-inspiring.

With his comforting words, He Qing actually gradually recovered.

"I've figured it out."

"What's connected?"

"So, I'm not planning to act anymore, that's all. I'll just be your secretary, follow you around, and help you with anything that comes up. If there's nothing else to do, then I'll... I'll warm your bed."

He Qing seemed quite embarrassed when she said this.

Ma Xun laughed, "You've truly grasped the essence of the secretary's profession."

"What's the essence?"

"When there's work to be done, the secretary does it; when there's nothing to do, the secretary does it..."

Before Ma Xun could finish speaking, He Qing burst into laughter.

You're so mean!

These words, spoken by He Qing, a woman from the water towns of Jiangnan, were truly captivating.

In fact, He Qing was not always like this; that is to say, she was not as gentle and soft as she appeared.

In fact, she has a rather strong personality.

But now, it seems that he was really scared this time, and he has also really figured it out.

Now that you've figured it out...

Ma Xun didn't stand on ceremony either.

hmm~
He Qing was caught off guard and couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

"You, you are..."

"Everything's fine now, isn't it?"

Goodness, that last sentence wasn't just something he said randomly.

Although this was unexpected, He Qing was also delighted.

Ideally, we should just keep doing this until the end of the world.

……

As time goes by, 2002 is about to come to an end.

The western region hasn't been affected too much, so we can continue filming.

Of course, we must do a good job in all aspects of prevention and control.

Take your temperature at least twice a day.

The production team's work is proceeding smoothly, with several directors and screenwriters involved.

In addition, all the senior colleagues were very dedicated and hardworking.

Wan Qian felt very good in this group.

Although she had recently noticed that Ma Xun and He Qing were always appearing together, and He Qing was always dressed in a very standard office lady suit.

She became Ma Xun's secretary?
Will you stop acting?

Wan Qian confirmed that she would definitely play He Qing if given the opportunity, but at the moment, it seems that she doesn't have any suitable roles.

However, Wan Qian was certain that their relationship was definitely not simple.

As for the scenes to be filmed today...

Oh, here it comes.

Our crew has grown a lot more; the original Westward Journey team wasn't actually complete.

Later, Huang Bo and Yan Kuan joined the group.

Huang Bo's looks... well, with a simple makeover, he loses all his star quality.

He described it himself as being like a potato that has fallen into the ground and then been dug out.

But severe hip problems are different.

He is indeed very handsome.

Back in school, Wan Qian knew that many female classmates were eyeing him.

Oh, and there's also Lu Yi.

Unfortunately, he's already been smitten by a girl from Northeast China.

What I'm saying is, if you meet a handsome guy, you really have to make a move early.

Wan Qian doesn't like handsome men; she prefers capable men.

Okay, Ma Xun is pretty handsome, and he's also more capable.

But today, the show... has begun.

The westward journey team is now almost complete.

Jiang Wen was a captain who set out from Chang'an, and he was accompanied by a young monk.

This young monk is very inexperienced; he's clearly a woman disguised as a man.

Her name is Zhou Yun.

It just seems that she's playing a female role in the movie this time.

At first, it was just the two of them.

In a sandpit, they were robbed by bandits.

An old man and a young man came to make money off the dead.

As it turned out, the captain and the young monk didn't die; instead, they captured the old man and the young man.

Let these two guys be our guides.

They were tricked into believing that there was a golden mountain inside the city of Kucha.

The old man believed it, and the young man believed it even more.

The young man is getting married, but unfortunately, even though he's handsome, he's broke.

The old man is Wang Deshun, and the young man is Yan Kuan.

We came across an inn on the way.

Huang Bo is a colleague.

It turned out to be a rip-off, and a big fight broke out.

The shady shop owner died, and the shop assistants went with them.

Wan Qian is a female bandit.

They originally intended to rob this shady shop, but after a fight, they ended up following these guys.

Because there is a gold mine in the city of Kucha.

This lie was indeed quite absurd.

However, this captain was good at bluffing.

He said just one sentence, and people believed him without a doubt.

"You all know there are still Tang troops in Kucha, right? They've been defending it for over thirty years, haven't they? So tell me, why have they been defending it for so long?"

That makes sense!

According to the bandits' logic, it's only because there's gold involved!

The closer they got to Kucha, the more dangerous it became.

Because there was an army of foreign tribes from the Western Regions!

He used to be a bandit, now he's in the army.

There's a huge difference in levels.

Today, there is a princess from the Western Regions in this army.

Tong Liya, I didn't expect her to look so pretty in this outfit.

We just need to be a bit tougher now.

They came to kill!

The sound of horses' hooves broke the silence, kicking up a cloud of yellow dust...

After the clash of swords and the fighting...
