CHAPTER 660: CHAPTER 146: FEELING THAT THIS LINDA LOOKS SOMEWHAT FAMILIAR

Lu An’an felt a bit embarrassed and touched her nose, signaling to Song Qiao with a blink that there was no need to be afraid or worried.

Indeed, Linda wasn’t difficult to get along with; on the contrary, she was very amiable. Don’t think that she was airdropped into their department to take charge. Lu An’an had heard that Linda was recruited from abroad by Lin Musen for a hefty sum.

Of course, Song Qiao didn’t know this, but Lu An’an had already figured it out during Linda’s first few days, so she confidently allowed Linda to interact with Song Qiao.

It wasn’t until after Linda had asked about some work-related matters that she turned around and left for her private office.

Sitting at her desk, Song Qiao felt somewhat dazed and hadn’t fully regained her composure. She always felt that Linda looked familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere before. That sense of familiarity lingered in her heart for a long time, not dissipating, making her more convinced that she must have met Linda before.

Lu An’an tidied up her desk and glanced over to find Song Qiao lost in thought. She quickly slid her chair over to her side, waving her hand in front of her, "Hey, Qiaoqiao, what are you thinking about? You’re so engrossed."

Song Qiao came back to her senses and saw Lu An’an’s face, smiled, and said, "Nothing much, just that this Linda looks a bit familiar, like I’ve known or seen her before."

As for Lu An’an, she never thought about hiding anything. Naturally, she shared everything with her, especially now that she knew she was Lu Jingchen’s sister.

Although Lu An’an had directly called her sister-in-law before, Song Qiao felt that this title was too revealing of her seniority as if it elevated her status. Besides, Lu An’an was three years older than her, so Song Qiao let Lu An’an call her as she used to.

Lu An’an flipped through some documents in her hand, looked up at Song Qiao, and spoke nonchalantly, "I heard that Linda won quite a few awards when she was in France and appeared on TV several times. So it’s not strange that you’ve seen her, no need to make a big deal out of it."

She had heard this from others, but she didn’t pay much attention to these things, so she had never actually seen it herself.

Song Qiao hummed in acknowledgement, but still seemed pensive, feeling that she really had seen Linda before.

In the afternoon, Qin Zhe and An Ke were confirmed to participate in the filming of "Life Reversal," and their fame suddenly increased, attracting many advertisers to seek them out for commercials.

Song Qiao reviewed a few and found them pretty good, so she directly accepted them on their behalf.

Just after returning to the office from lunch, Qin Zhe and An Ke, who were already prepared, were waiting outside for her. Song Qiao grabbed her bag and hurried out, looking at the time on her wristwatch, smiled, and said, "Let’s go. We’ll shoot a commercial today. There are still many commercials that need both of you over this week. They’re all together, so it’s going to be a bit hard on you both."

An Ke smiled and shook her head, "Sister Qiao, please don’t say that. Without you, Zhe and I wouldn’t have had so many opportunities to go abroad."

Qin Zhe, who was standing by, didn’t speak, but his expression was very gentle, his eyes carrying a hint of a smile, clearly very much in agreement with An Ke’s words.

Song Qiao smiled, "Well, becoming famous is not always an easy task. It still requires you both to keep working hard. I believe that both of you will be successful in the future. Let’s go. We can talk more on the way. The advertiser is already waiting there."

"Okay!"

Now that Qin Zhe and An Ke had gained a certain level of fame, the company had prepared exclusive nanny vans for them. Originally, there was one van per person, but since they were both managed by Song Qiao and their relationship was good, the two discussed and decided to just use one nanny van.

In An City, the weather had entered its hottest period. The nanny van was parked outside the company, and as soon as Song Qiao stepped out of the building and left the world of air-conditioning, she immediately felt unbearably hot.

She had always been more intolerant of heat than cold, and her least favorite was this kind of weather where standing in the sun for just a few minutes would result in profuse sweating.

Only when she was seated in the car did she feel significantly more comfortable.

An Ke always carried a small backpack, and had been since she started following Song Qiao, who was very curious about what she was carrying inside since it looked quite full, as if packed with many things.

Once in the vehicle, as it started moving, even though the air conditioning was on, Song Qiao still felt hot and couldn’t help but start fanning herself with a notebook.

An Ke opened her backpack and took out an exquisitely pretty little flask, handing it to Song Qiao, "Sister Qiao, this is sour plum tea personally made by my mom. It’s really good. My mom specifically asked me to bring you a bottle to try."

Song Qiao paused fanning, a bit surprised at the little flask An Ke handed over, and without hesitation took it, smiling as she said, "Thank your mother for me."

An Ke’s mother, Song Qiao, had met her once during her hospitalization; she was a very down-to-earth old lady with a head full of white hair. Even though she was only in her forties, she looked like she was in her sixties, with a somewhat hunched back. However, her hands and feet were still nimble. Her Mandarin was not very standard, but Song Qiao could feel the purest simplicity from the old woman.

An Ke smiled and took out a pale blue small water bottle from her backpack, handing it directly to Qin Zhe. Qin Zhe glanced at her faintly, and although his facial expression seemed a bit awkwardly displeased, he still reached out and took it.

Song Qiao watched the two people sitting across from her with a smile. She naturally knew about An Ke’s crush on Qin Zhe. The company did not forbid dating, but if one aspired to become a star, many things still required discretion, such as maintaining secrecy about a relationship from the public.

As for An Ke and Qin Zhe, she did not offer any comments or suggestions, only letting them figure things out on their own, because sometimes there are matters that even if one wants to get involved, it may not always be possible to do so.

Twisting open the small water bottle and taking a sip, he instantly felt a sour taste mixed with a hint of sweetness that comfortably permeated his senses.

The taste was really good, very refreshing.

Even better than what’s sold outside.

The filming site was located in a work building at the city center. Upon alighting from the car, Song Qiao glanced around and realized that it was only a five-minute walk from CK.

An City had a designated area for shooting, the entire building was for filming advertisements, TV dramas, and movies, many companies were renting space here.

As soon as Song Qiao, accompanied by An Ke and Qin Zhe, got out of the car, she saw many nanny vans parked outside the parking lot, indicating that there were quite a few people who came here to film today. She was about to step inside when out of the corner of her eye, she spotted a tall figure.

Narrowing her eyes slightly, she looked towards the woman who was being escorted into the building by a crowd. Some people, even without deliberately being noticed, can sometimes catch your eye with just a fleeting glance.

And such a person, such as the contemporary national Actress, the popular female star—Zuo Yuqing.

Song Qiao always felt that Zuo Yuqing was someone who shone wherever she went, attracting people’s attention. One didn’t need to actively seek her out; she stood out effortlessly.

And in her world, people like Lu Jingchen, Zuo Yuqing, Xi Mohan were those kind of individuals.

Sometimes, Ning Wan was the same. She had always been beautiful, exuding a natural beauty that made it difficult for others to look away.

However, Ning Wan was a low-key person, not fond of being too conspicuous, always deliberately downplaying her presence, so sometimes she would be intentionally overlooked.

Song Qiao had even thought before that if Ning Wan entered the entertainment industry, she could dethrone Zuo Yuqing in no time.

"Sister Qiao, what’s wrong?" An Ke and Qin Zhe, standing behind her, saw Song Qiao suddenly stop in her tracks and even space out looking in a certain direction, prompting An Ke to speak up.

Looking in the direction of Song Qiao’s gaze, nothing could be seen.

Hearing An Ke’s words, Song Qiao came back to her senses, as the figures of Zuo Yuqing and her group were no longer there. She withdrew her gaze, smiling slightly, "It’s nothing, let’s go. The advertiser should be ready; let’s head up first."

The filming location was set on the 12th floor. The advertisement Song Qiao was filming for was a rather famous company’s in An City, and it was a series about rings.

Considering Qin Zhe and An Ke, Song Qiao only had two factors in mind when accepting advertisements: one, that the two would be together, and second, that the photos must match the couple’s temperament.

When Song Qiao arrived at the filming site with Qin Zhe and An Ke, there were already quite a few people there, but to their surprise, they ran into Li Xin and others, who were filming in a studio.

During this period, Song Qiao was aware that Li Xin was busy shooting commercials outside with her team, so there were few encounters between them at the company.

She and Li Xin were never on good terms, and almost everyone in the company knew about Li Xin’s big prejudice against her, including rumors that she was being kept by the company’s higher-ups, which were spread by Li Xin.

"Miss Song, you’ve arrived?" A middle-aged man, who looked to be in his forties and had been directing his staff in preparation, hurriedly came over to greet Song Qiao and her group with a flattering smile upon seeing them.
