Not long ago, Shen Yi had also sought them out to explain intentionally, asking them to be mindful, but he didn’t explicitly say they shouldn’t date.
But as an agent, one is well aware that if a rising artist is rumored to be in a relationship, it is very much frowned upon.
If a public figure, especially an artist, exposes a relationship, they might be thrust into the spotlight and face greater crises, potentially making their future harder to navigate.
An Ke smiled and spoke directly, "Everything’s good, just a little tiring during filming."
Song Qiao, gathering her thoughts, placed her bag down, looked at An Ke and Qin Zhe in front of her, and spoke gently, "Feeling tired from filming is normal. Once you slowly climb up, you’ll understand how tough this road is. But I hope you continue to persevere, as these are your dreams."
An Ke nodded.
Song Qiao sat down, inviting An Ke and Qin Zhe to also sit, then pulled out a file given by Shen Yi previously from the drawer. She didn’t immediately dive into the main topic, instead asking, "Have you gone home to see your parents? Would you like a day off to go back and spend time with them?"
The two exchanged a glance and shook their heads simultaneously. Qin Zhe spoke, "Song Qiao, we went home to spend time with our parents last night, so no need for a holiday. I want to quickly get into the groove."
Song Qiao nodded and looked at An Ke, asking, "An Ke, what about you?"
An Ke nodded too, "Song Qiao, I’m like Qin Zhe. I want to quickly get into the groove. Everyone’s working hard, we don’t want to slack off."
Song Qiao smiled contentedly, opened the file for them, and explained, "These are training arrangements by the company. You can take a look. If there’s no issue, I’ll have the company arrange it for you. Training might take a long time, maybe half a year or a year, so you won’t be able to go home to see your parents. Consider spending a day with them before leaving for training, and explain to them."
On hearing Song Qiao’s words, both showed signs of confusion but took the file to read.
Moments later, they both looked up at Song Qiao, faces full of excitement, especially An Ke, who nearly jumped with joy, wanting to scream with excitement. Yet knowing where they were, he lowered his voice and asked, "Song Qiao, is this real?"
Professor Qian is the most renowned in the circle, many artists try all means for him to mentor them, but He rarely accepts anyone except when he feels like it.
Many top domestic stars have been guided by Professor Qian.
Even Qin Zhe was momentarily too excited to express himself.
Song Qiao remained calm, looking at the two exhilarated kids in front of her, she suddenly realized she was once too composed.
Nodding, "It’s true, do you want to go?"
They nodded without hesitation.
With the decision settled, Song Qiao discussed some company arrangements and key points before letting them go home.
They only had today to go home before starting the arrangements with Professor Qian, it was somewhat urgent.
Song Qiao felt after marrying Lu Jingchen, her life became much smoother, with opportunities and benefits coming her way.
Probably because Lu Jingchen’s position created this privilege for her, as the Young Mistress of the Lu Family.
...
At noon, Lu An’an stayed with her artists at the set, so Song Qiao had lunch by herself and returned to the company, busy with work all afternoon without a break, not even time for water.
After work, when most people had left, she finished her tasks, and leisurely wandered out of the company.
As she stepped outside, a group of men in black sunglasses blocked her path, "Miss Song, our master invites you."
Song Qiao’s heart tensed, watching them cautiously retreating slightly, frowning, "Sorry, I don’t know your master."
MD, who pops up claiming to be some master she doesn’t know?
The men in black didn’t give her a chance to escape, the one who spoke made a polite gesture, "Miss Song, please, if you won’t go willingly, we don’t mind using force."
Threats...
Blatant threats...
Since she came down late, there were few people around, just a couple of security guards in the lobby who hesitated on seeing the intimidating presence and dared not approach.
Song Qiao assessed her escape chances... zero.
Surrounded by five men, couldn’t beat one, let alone five, she’d be downed in no time.
...
Half an hour later, in CK Group’s office, Lu Jingchen held his phone with a grim face, "What are you going to do to her? She’s innocent. If you want anything, come directly to me."
The person on the line scoffed, "You’re my son, what could I possibly do to you? What’s the worry, afraid I’d hurt the woman?"
"Yes," Lu Jingchen admitted without hesitation.
Lu Tianming scoffed, suppressing his anger, "Relax, she’s only invited to visit our home for a few days."
Lu Jingchen sneered, a mocking look, "You previously scalded her back with a cup of hot tea, so it’s hard to believe you’re so well-intentioned just inviting her over."
Lu Tianming was provoked by this, suppressing his fury, "If you’re truly worried, you can come back and keep an eye on her yourself."
