The leader of the cultivation alliance has a crush on me.

Song Ke still hadn't seen Chu Tiancheng at the company these past few days. Her original purpose for coming to the company was to pursue Chu Tiancheng, but now that she couldn't see him, she wondered if he was genuinely avoiding her.

She thought about it and realized she couldn't stay there any longer.

She didn't like these tedious jobs to begin with.

Before coming here, she was doing rather interesting creative design work.

It's those kinds of little gadgets and cute merchandise.

I used to worry about not having the money to open my own shop, but now I have the means to do so.

So, she invited Jiang Lin out that very evening.

The location is a music bar with a great atmosphere that calms the mind.

"Why did you order so much? What's bothering you?" Jiang Lin asked, raising an eyebrow as he looked at the table full of cute little wine bottles.

Song Ke slapped the table: "Have you been pretty free lately?"

Jiang Lin poured himself a glass and smiled, "It's alright. There's a wrap party coming up soon, and I'll go to my next job after that."

Song Ke then asked, "Isn't your birthday just a few days away?"

Jiang Lin nodded, looking at her suspiciously: "What, did you prepare a surprise for me?"

Song Ke raised her glass and clinked it with his: "Just tell me what you want. When have I ever been stingy?"

"I wanted to ask you, what are you going to do on your birthday?"

Jiang Lin asked her with a knowing look, "What do you want me to do?"

"If you have any ideas, just tell me, and I'll definitely fulfill them."

Song Ke smiled brightly: "How about throwing a birthday party? It would be best to invite more of the celebrities in your circle."

Jiang Lin glanced at her, looking puzzled, and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"You wouldn't be so greedy as to invest in others as well as me, would you?"

"Hey Keke, with that money, wouldn't it be better if you found me a better film crew? We're like family, why let the good stuff go to outsiders, don't you think?"

Song Ke was amused by Jiang Lin's words: "What are you thinking? After being stranded for a while, you've forgotten that you're a young master. How can you be so humble?"

Jiang Lin sighed: "Don't even mention it. I have absolutely no standing in my family now. Do you know what my parents have done?"

"what?"

When Song Ke smiles, there's always a certain liveliness about her.

She looked at Jiang Lin with a complaining expression and said, "They actually think my room has a good location and are planning to turn it into a children's room so I can find a place to live outside."

"If you want to kick me out, just say so. Why beat around the bush?"

Song Ke was surprised: "Really?"

"Your sister is pregnant?"

Jiang Lin sullenly said, "It's even more infuriating that he doesn't have any talent."

"Tell me, did they find me or not?"

Song Ke smiled but didn't say anything, raising her glass: "Alright, come on, have a drink. If you think about it this way, maybe your parents wanted to find an excuse to give you a birthday present, but they were too embarrassed to say it, so they said it like that?"

"Besides, why would we kick you out? Your house isn't small, and you have more than one room. Why don't you just move to another room?"

Jiang Lin said stubbornly, "Anyway, they just wish I wouldn't go back."

"By the way, how are things going between you and Chu Tiancheng? I haven't heard anything from you two lately."

"I heard that Zhou Chu had his leg broken. Is that true?"

Song Ke nodded and asked him, "Where did you hear that from?"

Jiang Lin became excited when talking about gossip: "I heard that the guy who beat someone up that night was named Liu Song. He's the big boss in that area. Originally, Liu Song didn't intend to pursue the matter further after beating someone up, but Zhou Chu's mother felt that her son had been wronged, so she hired a lawyer to sue him. So Liu Song simply broke the guy's leg."

"I also heard that Liu Song hired someone to intimidate Zhou Chu's mother, forcing her to settle with the person in private."

"You're saying Zhou Chu's leg broke? His mother really put in a lot of effort."

“You seem to know quite a lot,” Song Ke said.

Jiang Lin said with a gloating look, "That Zhou Chu was annoying to begin with, and he always tried to disgust you before. Now that he's in such a miserable state, it's his retribution."

"In the end, it's all because they were relying on the Chu family's influence, but they didn't expect to run into a brick wall."

Song Ke stopped him: "Alright, I didn't come to talk to you about him today. Remember to invite more people and send me a list."

Jiang Lin was still curious: "What exactly do you want to do?"

Song Ke snapped her fingers coolly and smiled brightly: "You'll find out when the time comes."

When Song Yan learned of this, he was also surprised: "Have you thought this through?"

Song Ke nodded and sat in Song Yan's spacious office. The large floor-to-ceiling windows offered a clear view of the cloudless sky.

"I've thought it through, and you think my shop is closely related to our company?"

"Just give me a shop."

Song Yan smiled and said, "Later, find Xiao Qu and let him choose for you."

"There's one more thing," Song Yan suddenly said seriously.

"what?"

"What's going on between you and Chu Tiancheng? I heard you're not working for him anymore?"

Song Ke: "I find it boring."

Song Yan asked with a knowing look, "Did you have a falling out with Chu Tiancheng?"

"How did you provoke him? I thought you two were getting along just fine before."

Song Ke refused to take the blame: "How can it be that I provoked him? It can't be that he provoked me. You are my older brother, why are you taking the side of an outsider?"

Song Yan smiled faintly and said, "I know you well. Your previous behavior was really annoying. If I weren't your brother, I might not have been able to tolerate you."

"Big brother, you're so annoying." Song Ke rolled her eyes at him.

"I'm going out to find Brother Qu." She stood up, and just as she turned to leave, she heard a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Song Ke paused for a moment, then saw a somewhat familiar figure push open the door and enter.

She glanced at the figure, then at Song Yan, and thought to herself, "No way, Song Yan is having an office romance?"

The person who came in was none other than Guan Yue, the new female director of the public relations department. Her clothes were different today than the other day, but her figure was about 80-90% similar, and her height and hairstyle were even more similar.

Song Ke sized her up, but Guan Yue greeted her with a professional smile: "Hello, Miss Song."

Song Ke smiled and nodded: "Hello, Director Guan."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Guan Yue, then at Song Yan sitting there. She saw that Song Yan's expression had not changed, and she could not tell anything was amiss.

Seeing that Song Ke, who had originally said he was going out, hadn't moved, Song Yan reminded him, "Didn't you say you were going to find Xiao Qu?"

Song Ke smiled and gave him an ambiguous questioning look. Song Yan raised an eyebrow, his eyes neither confirming nor denying.

Song Ke pursed her lips in boredom and waved to Guan Yue, "Director Guan, please continue with your work. I'm leaving."

After the door closed, Guan Yue handed the document in her hand to Song Yan: "This is the official WeChat post to be released this afternoon. Take a look."

Song Yan took it and looked down at it. The office was quiet for a moment, with only the soft sound of the papers turning over.

Guan Yue was very observant. She patiently waited until Song Yan turned to the last page before speaking softly, "Mr. Song, what did Miss Song mean by that look in her eyes just now?"

Upon hearing Guan Yue speak, Song Yan calmly turned to the last page, signed his name at the end, and then leaned back, smiling slightly at her: "What kind of look is that?"

Guan Yue spoke frankly: "Ambiguous glances."

Song Yan deliberately said "Oh," and then said with a frank expression, "She saw me when I took you home that night."

"I think I recognized you." When Song Yan looked at people with a slight smile in his eyes, he always seemed to have a flirtatious look in his eyes, giving people a feeling of being charming and affectionate.

At this moment, his tone clearly carried a hint of roguish arrogance, as if he was waiting to see Guan Yue lose her composure, but obviously, he was disappointed.
