"You're so good at saying sweet things. People who don't know you would think you're filming a romance movie."

"With you here, even if it's a horror movie, it's still a suspenseful romance."

Song Shengsheng pulled her hand back from his grasp. This time Jiang Yiyu did not stop her. He gently twisted his fingers that had suddenly fallen into the air and sniffed at the tip of his nose: "Dear, don't worry about me. I'm in a good mood now."

"Um?"

"I know the news was suppressed, and I also know you came to see me simply because you were worried that I was in a bad mood, right?"

"Yeah. As long as you're okay, my brother told me to tell you something. He said now isn't the time to confront your father head-on. It would be foolish to hurt the enemy a thousand times and hurt yourself eight hundred times. If you really want to do something, you have to grow your wings before you can achieve your goal."

Jiang Yiyu lowered his eyes and smiled, then hummed nonchalantly, "Song Ming is still as conservative as ever."

"He's worried that all your hard work over the years will go to waste. It's not worth it just for Jiang Yuan."

"Is it worth it..." Jiang Yiyu chuckled: "Who knows?"

Seeing his attitude, Song Shengsheng knew that he didn't want to continue talking about this topic, so he didn't say anything more. He just sat with him quietly for a while and chatted with him casually.

After Jiang Yiyu left, Xiao Chen got in the car. She sat down opposite Song Shengsheng and handed her a cup of coffee. Song Shengsheng took it and said thank you.

"Sister-in-law, how long can you stay with me this time?"

"Excluding today, there are still two days."

"Ah, time has passed so quickly! Now that you're here, I'm so happy today. All the shots were done in one take, and the director is very satisfied. Interestingly, I haven't seen you this happy in a long time."

Song Shengsheng smiled and said, "Xiao Chen, how long have you been with Jiang Yiyu?"

Xiao Chen took a sip of coffee and thought for a moment. "Hmm... about six or seven years ago. I started following him right after I graduated from university. He wasn't very famous back then, and his crew wasn't big. He'd just climbed up from an extra, and the best roles he'd usually get were the third or fourth male lead. And because of his acting prowess and good looks, the main characters often cut his already meager parts to make them even more pitiful."

"That's not easy."

"Of course! Sister-in-law, you don't know how much we suffered back then. In this industry, besides seniority, resources and connections, you also have to look for fire. If you don't have any of these, you will be bullied. You can't borrow clothes to attend events, and your treatment is poor. We even encountered the situation where the young interns rolled their eyes!

Alas, back then, I didn't know my brother's family was rich and well-connected. He didn't tell me, so he just took it for granted. One time, we went to some event—I can't remember exactly, but it was really infuriating. So infuriating, I cursed in my sleep. Imagine how furious he must have been if I was so pissed! The next day, he acted like nothing had happened. Not only did he comfort me, he even said he'd skip those kinds of events if he could, and the same goes for variety shows. It didn't matter if I didn't get exposure, as long as I had a role to play.

"I know these things."

"You know?"

Song Shengsheng smiled and said, "I later saw the news online."

"Anyway, it's been tough along the way, but things are getting better now. The industry has been changing a lot in the past two years, and many of those who bullied me back then can't make it anymore. Things are changing, and I'm sure I'll continue to be popular."

"So, will his sudden announcement of his marriage have any impact on his career?"

Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment. She bit her straw and looked at Song Shengsheng, thinking for a moment: "I won't hide it from you, there is definitely an impact. His family affairs, and the subsequent exposure of some unfounded things like bullying and fighting, have more or less affected his career. But...how should I put it, it's just...he's not the person who hid his background back then. If he can handle it, our team can handle it too. Don't worry, sister-in-law."

"Okay. I'll trouble you to take good care of him in the future."

"Okay, okay." Xiao Chen smiled.

"Don't you need to go with him?"

Xiao Chen glanced at his phone and said, "No, I was afraid you would be bored, so I asked you to come and talk to me. What perfume are you using, sister-in-law? It smells really good."

"Hmm?" Song Shengsheng raised her wrist and sniffed it. "Wu Ye Qiu Sheng, a gift from a friend. I thought it was just average at first, but then I started to smell it and it's pretty good. I happen to have a small refill bottle in my bag, so I'll give it to you. I'll give you a new bottle when we get back to the capital."

"This... this is not good." Xiao Chen smiled embarrassedly.

Song Shengsheng opened her bag, rummaged around for a while, and took out a small sample of perfume and handed it to her: "It's okay, it's just a bottle of perfume. Compared to the years you've spent accompanying Jiang Yiyu in building his career, it's really insignificant."

Xiao Chen no longer refused, but took the perfume and said thank you: "Sister-in-law, if it is convenient for you, please add me on WeChat. If you have any problems in the future and you can't contact me, just contact me directly."

"Okay." Song Shengsheng put down his bag, opened his phone and scanned Xiao Chen's QR code: "Please approve it. If anything happens in the future, I won't be polite!"

Xiao Chen patted his chest and said, "You're welcome!"

Song Shengsheng smiled and chatted with Xiao Chen for a while about perfume, bags and other things.

As they chatted, she consciously turned the topic back to Jiang Yiyu. Xiao Chen was also a smart person, and naturally knew what Song Shengsheng wanted to hear, so she was a little reserved and told him everything she knew.

Maybe it was true as Xiao Chen said that Jiang Yiyu was in a good mood today, so he finished work earlier than expected.
