The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 250 - 146: It seems that this Linda looks a bit familiar
Chapter 250: Chapter 146: It seems that this Linda looks a bit familiar
Lu An’an touched her nose awkwardly, blinked at Song Qiao, and motioned for her not to worry or be scared.
Indeed, Linda was not that difficult to get along with; on the contrary, she was very easy to talk to. Don’t think she was just parachuted into their department to be the supervisor. Lu An’an had also heard that Linda was recruited from abroad by Lin Musen after a large expenditure.
Of course, Song Qiao didn’t know this, but Lu An’an had already figured it out in the days when Linda arrived, which was why she was so confident in letting Linda interact with Song Qiao.
It wasn’t until Linda asked about some work-related matters and then turned around to leave for her private office that she was done.
Sitting at her desk, Song Qiao felt a bit dazed, not quite snapping back to reality. She always felt that Linda looked familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere before. That sense of familiarity lingered in her heart and refused to dissipate, making her increasingly certain that she must have seen Linda before.
Lu An’an tidied up her desk and then turned to see Song Qiao daydreaming. She quickly slid her chair over to her side, waved her hand in front of her, and said, "Hey, Qiaoqiao, what are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed."
Song Qiao snapped back to reality upon seeing Lu An’an’s face, smiled, and said, "Nothing much, I just feel that Linda looks a bit familiar, as if I’ve known her or seen her before."
For Lu An’an, she never thought about hiding anything and naturally 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 the title was too revealing of her generational status, as if elevating her a level, and considering Lu An’an was three years older than herself, Song Qiao let Lu An’an continue to call her as before.
Lu An’an, holding several documents, flipped through them, looked up at Song Qiao, and said nonchalantly, "I heard that Linda won many awards when she was in France, and she’s been on TV a few times, so it’s not strange for you to have seen her before. Don’t be so surprised."
She had heard about it from others, but she didn’t care about these things, so she never really saw them.
Song Qiao hummed in agreement but still seemed thoughtful, still feeling that she had indeed seen Linda before.
In the afternoon, as Qin Zhe and An Ke were confirmed to be part of "Life Reversal," their fame skyrocketed, and many advertisers sought after both to have them shoot commercials.
Song Qiao reviewed several of them and found them quite good, so she directly accepted the deals on their behalf.
After having lunch and returning to the office, ready Qin Zhe and An Ke were outside waiting for her. Song Qiao grabbed her bag and quickly walked out, looking at the time on her wrist and smiling, "Let’s go. We’ll shoot a commercial first today. You both have many commercials scheduled this week, all together, so thanks in advance for your hard work."
An Ke smiled, shook her head, and said, "Sister Qiao, please don’t say that. Without you, Zhe and I wouldn’t have had so many opportunities to go abroad."
Qin Zhe, standing beside her, remained silent, but his expression was very gentle and his eyes carried a smiling gleam, obviously very much in agreement with An Ke’s words.
Song Qiao smiled and said, "Well, becoming famous is not always easy, and it takes continuous effort from both of you. I believe you’ll succeed in the future. Let’s go, we can talk more on the way; the advertiser is already waiting for us there."
"Okay!"
Since Qin Zhe and An Ke now had a certain level of fame, the company prepared special nanny vans for them, initially one per person. But since both were under Song Qiao and got along well, they discussed it with her and decided to just use one nanny van.
The weather in An City had entered its hottest phase, and as Song Qiao stepped out of the air-conditioned company building, she immediately felt unbearably hot.
Always more bothered by heat than cold, she disliked weather like this where standing in the sun for a few minutes would leave her drenched in sweat.
It was only when she sat in the car that she felt much more comfortable.
An Ke always carried a small backpack, which she had on her since she started following Song Qiao. Song Qiao was very curious about its contents, as it was always full and bulging, seemingly packed with a lot of things.
Once on the van, just as it started moving and even though the air conditioning was on, Song Qiao felt hot and couldn’t help fanning herself with a notebook.
An Ke opened her backpack, took out a delicately beautiful small thermos, and passed it to Song Qiao, saying, "Sister Qiao, this is the plum tea my mom made herself. It tastes really good. My mom specifically asked me to bring a bottle for you to try."
Song Qiao’s fanning hand paused, somewhat surprised by the thermos An Ke handed over, then she quickly took it and said with a smile, "Thank your mother for me."
An Ke’s mother, Song Qiao had met once when she was in the hospital. She was a very simple elderly lady with a full head of white hair. Although she was only in her forties, she looked like she was in her sixties, with a slightly stooped back. However, her limbs were still quite agile. She didn’t speak Mandarin very standardly, but Song Qiao could feel the purest and most natural simplicity emanating from the old woman.
An Ke smiled, and took out a light blue water bottle from her small backpack and handed it directly to Qin Zhe. Qin Zhe glanced at her indifferently, and although his facial expression was somewhat begrudgingly uncomfortable, he still reached out to take it.
Watching the two people sitting opposite her, Song Qiao smiled. She naturally knew that An Ke liked Qin Zhe. The company didn’t prohibit dating, but if one wanted to debut as a star, there were many things that still needed to be avoided. For example, even if two people were dating, it was better to keep it secret from the outside world.
Regarding An Ke and Qin Zhe, she had no comments or advice to offer. She would just let the two of them figure it out themselves, after all, there are some matters that you can’t involve yourself in just because you want to.
Unscrewing the water bottle and taking a sip, he immediately felt a sour taste mixed with a hint of sweetness diffusing through his senses, which was very comfortable.
The taste was really good, very pleasant to drink.
Better than those sold outside.
The filming location was in a working building in the city center, and upon getting out of the car, Song Qiao glanced around, only to realize that it was just a five-minute walk from CK.
An City had a special filming site; the entire building was used for shooting advertisements, TV dramas, and movies, with many companies renting space here.
Just as Song Qiao, An Ke, and Qin Zhe got out of the car, she saw many nanny vans parked outside the parking lot. It seemed there were quite a few people here for filming today. She was about to step inside when she caught sight of a tall figure out of the corner of her eye.
Squinting slightly towards the woman who was being escorted into the building, some people, even without trying to pay attention, can still easily attract your gaze with just a small glance from the corner of their eyes.
And such a person is the contemporary national Actress, the popular female star—Zuo Yuqing.
Song Qiao always felt that Zuo Yuqing was the kind of person who would shine wherever she went, attracting people’s gazes. People didn’t need to deliberately seek her out but could easily be drawn to her.
In her world, people like Lu Jingchen, Zuo Yuqing, Xi Mohan, and others were just that type of person.
Actually, sometimes Ning Wan was the same. She had always been beautiful, and wherever she was, she exuded an innate sense of beauty that captivated onlookers.
However, Ning Wan was low-key and disliked being too ostentatious, always deliberately minimizing her presence, so sometimes she would be intentionally overlooked by others.
Song Qiao used to think that if Ning Wan entered the entertainment circle, she would definitely outshine Zuo Yuqing in minutes.
"Sister Qiao, what’s wrong?" An Ke and Qin Zhe had been standing behind her all along and seeing Song Qiao suddenly stop and stare blankly in a direction, An Ke couldn’t help but ask.
Following Song Qiao’s gaze, they saw nothing.
Hearing An Ke’s question, Song Qiao snapped back to reality. There was no longer any sign of Zuo Yuqing and her entourage, so she withdrew her gaze and smiled slightly, "Nothing much, let’s go. The advertiser should be ready; let’s head up first."
The filming site was set up on the 12th floor, and the advertisement Song Qiao had taken was from one of the more famous companies in An City. It was for a series of rings.
Considering Qin Zhe and An Ke, Song Qiao only had two criteria when accepting advertisements: one was that both of them would do it together, and the second was that the photos for the advertisement must match their temperament.
When Song Qiao arrived at the shooting site with Qin Zhe and An Ke, there were already quite a few people there, but to their surprise, they encountered Li Xin and her group, also shooting in a studio.
Lately, Song Qiao knew that Li Xin had been taking the people under her to shoot advertisements outside; the chances of them meeting at the company were very rare.
She and Li Xin have never gotten along, and almost everyone in the company knew how much Li Xin disliked her. The rumors within the company about her being kept by the higher-ups were also spread by Li Xin.
"Miss Song, you’ve arrived?" A middle-aged man in his forties, who was originally directing the staff to prepare, hurriedly welcomed them with a sycophantic smile upon seeing Song Qiao and the others arrive.
