As if sensing something, Song Jia suddenly looked up and met Lu Zhen’s gaze.

Lu Zhen’s heart stopped. She immediately pretended to be calm and asked, “How does it taste?”

Song Jia’s lips curled up slightly. “Very good.”

The two of them were eating when Lu Zhen asked the question she had prepared long ago, “Boss Song, can you tell me the story of your entrepreneurship?”

Boss Song? Song Jia raised his eyebrows, a faint smile in his eyes. He seemed to be joking. “Why? You want to start a business too? Are you dissatisfied with the treatment I gave you?”

Lu Zhen puffed out her chest and said self-righteously, “It’s said that actors are a profession that eats youth. When I stop being popular one day and the audience doesn’t like to watch my shows, I’m prepared to start a company and be the boss myself, so I’ll ask you for advice in advance.”

In fact, Lu Zhen had no intention of starting a business. She only said that because she wanted Song Jia to tell her about him. Since she couldn’t get any information from others, she would ask him herself. Song Jia’s eating speed slowed down a little. He thought for a few seconds and said, “Actually, it’s nothing much. It’s all about infighting. Perhaps if you know, you’ll think that I’m a cold-blooded and detestable person.”

Lu Zhen shook her head. “How can that be? Since you’ve chosen the path of entrepreneurship, you definitely can’t do what you want. As long as it involves benefits, the relationship between people won’t be simple. The entertainment industry is also a bloodless battlefield. Sometimes, I’m also the evil person who plunders opportunities or will inadvertently hurt others. These are unavoidable.”

Song Jia didn’t expect Lu Zhen to think so clearly. He looked at Lu Zhen in surprise. He put down his chopsticks and thought for a moment. He organized his thoughts and told Lu Zhen about his entrepreneurship.

Lu Zhen held her chin and listened seriously. The more she listened, the more shocked she became. Even though Song Jia’s tone was very calm, Lu Zhen could still feel the blood and cruelty of the business battles. She originally just wanted to hear Song Jia talk about himself, but the more she listened, the more fascinated she became. Halfway through, she couldn’t help but take the initiative to ask about a few places of interest.

Song Jia answered them one by one and patiently told Lu Zhen some inside information that outsiders would never know. In Song Jia’s answer, the seemingly prosperous entertainment industry revealed its original appearance. The more Lu Zhen listened, the more she felt that she was just a commodity operated by capital.

She seemed glamorous, but merchandise was merchandise. When she lost her value, the end she faced was one-abandoned, forgotten, replaced.

Lu Zhen’s eyes gradually turned blank. After her rebirth, her goal was to do well in her career. But now, after hearing Song Jia’s story, she suddenly felt that her previous thoughts were still too naive. Her goals had not wavered, but she now had a new understanding: if she could not stand at the top of the pyramid, she would always be a commodity under the operation of capital, a meteor that briefly shone in the entertainment industry.

Only by creating an indelible value and making her name worthy of being remembered forever would she not become a chess piece in the era of popularity.

The confusion in Lu Zhen’s eyes gradually receded, and her eyes became even more determined and clear. She did not expect to gain so much from chatting with Song Jia. However, Lu Zhen suddenly realized something. Song Jia’s story did not emphasize himself. Lu Zhen felt that he was hiding something, and those things were things he did not want to tell her.

In Song Jia’s description, he was just a successful businessman who had worked hard enough and happened to seize the opportunity. He was lucky to have the ability to stand firm in the current era.

Lu Zhen knew that Song Jia must have had a hard time on this path, but Song Jia didn’t tell her about the things behind the hardships.

“That’s about it. If you really want to start a business in the future, I can be your consultant. You can consult me at any time,” Song Jia said with a smile.

“Then your consultation fee must be very expensive,” Lu Zhen said jokingly.

“If it’s an acquaintance, it’s 50% off.” Song Jia’s eyes were deep and his tone was gentle.

After dinner, Lu Zhen paid the bill. Song Jia was about to send Lu Zhen back, but someone suddenly called him. After answering the call, Song Jia slowly frowned. It was rare for Lu Zhen to see such an obvious change in Song Jia’s mood. She felt a little uneasy.

“What’s wrong?” Lu Zhen asked softly after Song Jia hung up. Song Jia took a deep breath. “Something happened to Ansha.”

Ansha?
