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

Song Ke didn't go to see He Yunming, but went to visit Jiang Lin instead. Jiang Lin had an advertisement shoot to do these past few days, and when Song Ke arrived, Jiang Lin was eating his boxed lunch.

"What's wrong with you today?"

Jiang Lin put down his chopsticks and waved for his assistant to bring him some water.

After saying that, he turned around and looked at the lunchbox that Song Ke had placed in front of him, his face full of surprise: "You came to visit the set and brought me food. This is the first time I've ever done this."

"If you had told me you were coming, I would have waited for you to go out to eat together. There's a place around here that makes really good fish."

"What's wrong? You look so dejected. Who upset you?"

Song Ke lay on his comfortable recliner and rolled her eyes: "If you have food, hurry up and eat. I don't want to talk right now."

Jiang Lin opened the lunchbox and saw that the food looked alright: "Who made this? It doesn't look like something from an outside restaurant."

After saying that, he took another bite: "It's not your aunt's cooking either, where did it come from?"

Song Ke said weakly, "Even food can't shut you up, and it won't poison you anyway."

Jiang Lin ate with a puzzled look on his face. When he was almost finished, he suddenly asked, "By the way, I heard that Brother Yan has a girlfriend?"

Song Ke looked at him, wondering how someone who was never in Yuncheng could be so well-informed.

Jiang Lin could easily read Song Ke's eyes and said directly, "It's from your company's artists that they saw Brother Yan having lunch with someone. I heard that this is the only person who had lunch with him that hasn't been exposed yet. I told you, with Brother Yan's methods, if he didn't want it to be exposed, who would dare to release it randomly?"

"Oh, my sister is such a troublemaker, she hurt Yan-ge so badly."

Song Ke looked at her with unbearable disdain: "Alright, I know you can't stand your sister, but you don't have to be so blatantly annoying. Have you gone home yet?"

Jiang Lin shrugged: "You see, I had time to go back. Even after returning to Yuncheng, I wasn't idle. On my birthday, I even got a special day off from my agent."

Jiang Lin's agent, Song Ke, knew him and said he wasn't as heartless as Song Ke claimed, treating him like a money-making machine. After all, putting aside the fact that he was Jiang Lin's son, Song Ke was the person Song Ke had personally instructed him to promote. An agent wouldn't be so blind.

It's all because Jiang Lin's appearance and personality were pleasing from the start. Before filming TV dramas, he filmed a variety show as a temporary guest, which instantly boosted his popularity. In addition, the drama he invested in was based on the hottest IP at the time, making Jiang Lin a popular celebrity.

"Alright, I know you too well. When are you going to finish filming today?"

Jiang Lin said, "It won't be that quick. There's an outdoor shoot later, so it'll probably be dark by then."

After saying that, he looked at Song Ke with a grin and asked, "What for? Do you want to ask me out?"

Song Ke clicked her tongue: "If you're busy, that's fine. Anyway, it's not like I don't have anyone to ask me out."

Jiang Lin asked, "Who is it? Chu Tiancheng?"

"I heard from a rumor that Chu Tiancheng seems to be looking for someone lately. Do you know what's going on?"

Song Ke was taken aback, puzzled, but feigned no interest: "How would I know about his affairs?"

Jiang Lin scoffed, "You two aren't the official couple, yet you're always so clingy to him. Haven't you heard anything about that?"

"By the way, your two families ate together last time, why didn't you say anything about it?"

Song Ke was getting a little annoyed. She sighed and said, "Don't even mention it. You know what he's thinking."

After listening, Jiang Lin stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "I don't think that's right either."

"Keke, have you misunderstood something?"

Song Ke gave him a look that said, "You don't understand," and then stood up and pointed to the lunchbox: "Have your assistant wash it and bring it to me another day."

"I go first."

Jiang Lin called out from behind, "Hey, aren't you going to let me analyze this for you?"

Song Ke waved her hand without turning her head. Instead of going home, she went straight to her shop. However, the shop was under renovation, so she only took a quick look around. She was quite satisfied, made some requests, and then went home.

Two days later, Jiang Lin's birthday finally arrived. Song Ke chose a champagne-colored long dress, put on a navy blue long trench coat, tied her hair up high, and rarely wore such exquisite makeup. The burnt tomato lipstick made her skin look even whiter. She smiled contentedly at herself in the mirror, nodded to herself, and then took her phone, picked up her small bucket bag, and went out.

Seeing her dressed like this, Song Ma couldn't help but follow her into the yard. Looking at Song Ke, who had already gotten into the car, she asked, "Ke Ke, who are you going on a date with?"

Song Ke rested her left hand on the rolled-down car window and gave her mother a charming smile: "Mom, your daughter is planning to outshine female celebrities."

"Oh right, it's Jiang Lin's birthday today. His mother called me a couple of days ago to ask if Jiang Lin was coming home today."

After saying that, he reminded Song Ke, "You can do whatever you want, but if you can get him home tonight, then do so. I guess his parents also want to celebrate for him, but they just can't bring themselves to say it."

Song Ke smiled brightly. A cool autumn breeze blew by, causing a few stray strands of hair to flutter in the wind. She brushed them aside with her slender fingers, annoyed by their appearance. "Mom, I understand. You don't need to tell me. I'll remind him myself."

"You don't need to wait for me for lunch, I'm leaving."

Jiang Lin's birthday party was held at the villa of one of his best friends, located halfway up a mountain, where privacy was excellent and there was no fear of being photographed by paparazzi.

When Song Ke arrived, the place was already quite lively. She immediately recognized many familiar faces. She was surprised that Jiang Lin, who hadn't been in the entertainment industry for long, knew so many people.

Song Ke walked in with a smile, and Jiang Lin hurried over, grinning as he held out his hand: "Where's my gift?"

Song Ke looked at him with feigned disdain and said, "Jiang Lin, you're in such a hurry, anyone who didn't know better would think you're collecting a debt."

"Don't worry, when have I ever disappointed you with anything I give you?"

As Song Ke spoke, she reached into her trench coat pocket, felt around, and a few seconds later, under Jiang Lin's expectant gaze, pulled out a car key. Jiang Lin's smile froze upon seeing it: "Ah, a car again?"

"It's the same car as last year. Are you in the wholesale business or is someone running a buy-one-get-one-free promotion?"

Song Ke clicked her tongue: "What are you talking about? Last year's was blue, this year's is orange, and the configuration has been upgraded. Besides, you said last year that you didn't like the blue one, and I couldn't return it then, could I? Look, I'm making up for it for you this year. I've put so much effort into it, you don't need to be too touched."

Song Ke patted him on the shoulder, looking like they were best buddies, and then got down to business: "So, which ones are interested? I'll go talk to them."

Jiang Lin said he was disgusted, but he still took the keys and put them in his pocket before saying, "Don't tell me you only run that shop by yourself?"

Song Ke: "Of course not."

"Talent is not easy to find, especially since I'm looking for people with flexible thinking, who understand cultural and creative industries."

Jiang Lin pursed his lips: "Alright, by the way, He Wen is here too. She's been in the industry for a long time and knows more people. We can ask her to say a few words for those we don't know well."

"However, if you really want to do it yourself, just use your company's name and I think you'll be more than halfway to success."

Song Ke went to the nearby table and grabbed a drink, taking a small sip. Jiang Lin looked at her and laughed, "Alright, drink if you want. We can stay here tonight. A-Fang already had a room prepared. Every time we get together, we stay up all night."

When Song Ke heard him mention A Fang, she subconsciously glanced around and asked, "By the way, where is he? I haven't seen him."
