Chapter 323: Chapter 323: Minister Song’s Insider News

“But speaking of which,” Bai Yiqian, holding a cellphone in one hand, thumb scrolling on the screen, continued to look through the Weibo posts and, turning his head, struck up a conversation: “This little girl really has a talent for acting, and her dancing isn’t bad. Not like that something or other Yuan, who is just for show. Old Ji, don’t you think so?”

“…” Ji Ming.

Before Bai Yiqian could finish, a call came in on his phone.

“It’s my old man,” Bai Yiqian said as he pressed the answer button, responding to his father’s question right away: “How could I have time for goofing off? I’m with Minister Song Baiyan. Please rest assured…”

“What do you mean ‘especially because of that, you’re even more worried’?”

Bai Yiqian, slightly embarrassed, shifted slightly to the side and coaxed his father: “Look, you’re getting more and more outrageous, what’s this ‘what are all these guys up to late at night’ thing? Shall I turn on the video for you? Old Ji is here, Minister Song is busy with work, he’s got no time to mess around with other stuff.

My relationship with Minister Song Baiyan is a pure revolutionary friendship. Don’t just believe rumors, interact less with those gossipy types… Why are you going back to that again? Of course, I like women, look at me, wouldn’t you say I’m a proper man, not someone with an unclear orientation?”

Song Baiyan: “…”

“This is just you making a fuss over nothing. I’m not hiding anything, nor am I making excuses.” Bai Yiqian spoke and stood up, picked up a coat next to him, signalled ‘I’ll leave first’ to Song Baiyan, then walked towards the door, dealing with his father on the phone: “Who said I don’t have a girlfriend? Even if you don’t trust Minister Song, you should trust me. Our Bai Family’s line has been handed down for five generations, it won’t be cut off with me…”

The office door closed, muting the sound of Bai Yiqian’s phone conversation.

Ji Ming shifted his gaze away from the door, and thinking of something, he turned to look at Song Baiyan, who was sitting behind the large desk: “The lady of the house called me earlier to ask about your recent schedule, and by the way, she asked if Director Bai had a partner.”

But he suspected that asking about the schedule was just a pretense; the old lady was trying to probe into Minister Song and Director Bai’s “relationship.”

With the end of the year approaching, there was more gossip circulating among those old men and ladies’ circles about Minister Song.

After all, once people get old, matching people up becomes one of their few pleasures.

How could Song Baiyan not grasp Ji Ming’s implication, setting down the report: “You’re always with me. The old lady even asked about Director Bai, didn’t she ask about you?”

“…The lady of the house knows I have someone I like.”

Ji Ming spoke the truth.

At this, Song Baiyan looked up at him, his profound gaze softened: “In a relationship? Since when?”

“Currently, it’s unrequited love.” Ji Ming took out his cellphone, unlocked it, and opened Weibo, showing his only followed account to Song Baiyan: “Same as Miss Tang, she’s also been in the industry for 6 years and is the lead vocalist of the girl group ZERO. I created the Weibo account for her back in the day. I recently saw news online, she’s planning to go solo this year.”

Having said that, Ji Ming switched the topic to Tang Li: “Miss Tang doesn’t have a Weibo account yet. Tonight a female actress targeted her online, and before I came in, I was on Weibo, and the situation has already turned around. The official account of the TV series Miss Tang previously filmed released a video of her dancing, and now online praises for Tang Li are in the majority.”

Song Baiyan suddenly asked, “Do you have Weibo on your phone too?”

“Yes.” Ji Ming nodded: “It can be downloaded from the cellphone’s app store, very convenient. Minister, you usually don’t pay attention to these things, it’s normal not to know.”
