It wasn't just the receptionist praising her own company - in recent years, the development of Startrack Artists had indeed been quite impressive. At least so far, she hadn't heard of any entertainment company that could match Startrack.
Jing Yi listened to a long list of names. After the receptionist finally finished recounting the company's glorious history, she asked, "What's the name of that award-winning actress?"
"Oh, her name is Jiang Miaomiao. Sister Miaomiao became famous overnight for her film role. That movie was..."
Jiang Miaomiao? The name sounded oddly familiar. Could it be her?
Jing Yi was still trying to recall the plot of the original book, feeling a bit frustrated.
While Jing Yi was still troubled, the person arranged by Jing Zeqian had already come down.
It was a girl about Jing Yi's age, looking as if she had rushed over, still slightly out of breath.
"Miss Jing, I'm Little Wang, arranged by Mr. Jing to give you a tour. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
A smile bloomed on Jing Yi's lips. "You haven't kept me waiting, you came very quickly."
Little Wang's face still bore a flush from running, and she smiled sheepishly at Jing Yi. "Then, Miss Jing, please follow me."
Jing Yi thanked the receptionist and followed Little Wang into the elevator.
After Jing Yi left, people passing by gathered around the reception desk.
"Little Lu, was that Mr. Jing's sister?"
Upon hearing the news that Mr. Jing's sister had come, the administrative department downstairs was in an uproar, rushing down to see the excitement. They had heard that Mr. Jing had recently found his sister, who was apparently an actress!
The receptionist carefully glanced around before quietly gossiping with her colleagues, "It seems it's not Jing Zejun, but another sister?"
The people around were surprised. "Another one?"
"I thought she didn't look like the Jing Zejun I know!"
The company had its own internal sources of information. Although news about Jing Zejun wasn't widely known, most people at Startrack were aware that Jing Zejun was Jing Zeqian's sister.
They were part of the same circle, so naturally, they had to remember people to avoid accidentally offending the Jing family in the future.
"I just heard Mr. Jing call her Jing Yi Yi," the receptionist said with a mysterious look.
"I know, I know! I heard she's an adopted daughter!"
"Adopted daughter?!"
Everyone's eyes widened as they turned to look at the speaker.
The person continued with a mysterious expression, "My relative attended a banquet at the Jing family. Mr. Jing's father acknowledged her as an adopted daughter, saying she grew up abroad."
The others seemed to have gotten some juicy gossip, their eyes lighting up.
But wait! How did this person have so much information they didn't know?
Attending Mr. Jing's banquet?! How did a socialite who could attend the Jing family banquet end up among them?!
Meanwhile, in the elevator, Jing Yi noticed Little Wang seemed a bit nervous and said with a smile, "We should be about the same age. You can just call me Little Jing or Little Yi."
Little Wang was stunned for a moment, and by the time she reacted, the elevator had already stopped. She quickly held the elevator door open for Jing Yi.
Little Jing?
She wouldn't dare, and it felt like she was calling Mr. Jing...
"Anyway, I'm not your boss, and I don't have any position, so just call me Little Yi."
Jing Yi really wasn't used to being called "Miss Jing" respectfully wherever she went. It just felt strange to hear.
Little Wang could only agree, though later Jing Yi indeed never heard her say "Miss Jing" again, but she also never called her "Little Yi."
"This is the company's Artist Management Department, mainly responsible for discovering and nurturing new talents, signing contracts with artists, and arranging their schedules and activities. Usually..."
Startrack Entertainment was mainly divided into the Artist Management Department, Production Department, Publicity Department, Marketing Department, and so on.
In addition to these main departments, the company also had many auxiliary departments, such as Legal Affairs, Human Resources, Administration...
After hearing all this, Jing Yi was thoroughly confused. She felt like she wasn't here to visit artists, but rather to take over the company.
She was just a bystander, did she need to know all these details?
If Jing Zeqian had heard this, he would definitely say it was necessary!
The reason Little Wang explained in such detail was entirely because of Jing Zeqian's instructions.
"Mr. Jing's intention is to explain all the information about Startrack to Miss Jing in sufficient detail, including the company's internal structure and artist composition, etc.!"
Little Wang firmly remembered Secretary Li's reminder, fearing she might miss some part.
"Um..." Little Wang stopped, looking a bit worried.
Was there something she hadn't explained well?
Jing Yi really didn't want to interrupt Little Wang's introduction, but if she continued like this, it would be dark before she got to hear the part she wanted to know about.
"Where's the pantry?"
"Startrack has rest areas and pantries on every floor. The pantry is over there." Little Wang led Jing Yi to a nearby pantry.
Jing Yi was a bit surprised. It was so people-friendly. She had thought that with Jing Zeqian's personality, he would surely be a capitalist who skimped on his employees.
"What would you like to drink?"
"I don't want anything. You should get yourself a glass of water first."
Little Wang was a bit stunned, but Jing Yi had already moved to the snack area.
She bit her lip before pouring herself a glass of water.
"Want some?"
Little Wang quickly shook her head. Jing Yi's lips curved upward, looking beautiful and obedient.
"Are all the artists in the Management Department we just saw?"
Jing Yi pulled her to sit on the couch in the rest area and started chatting casually.
"Some might be there. Artists only come to the company when they have business. Some might be in the Publicity Department discussing promotion strategies, or in the Production Department participating in creative work."
No wonder she hadn't seen many artists on her way up.
"Then for someone like Jiang Miaomiao, at her level, does she come to the company often?"
"As for Sister Miaomiao, she comes to the company even less often. If there's anything, her manager will come directly to coordinate and arrange. When Sister Miaomiao does come, it's mostly to see Mr. Jing."
Jing Yi raised an eyebrow, nodding understandingly as she threw the now empty snack bag into the trash.
It seemed to be a matter of fame after all. For an artist at Jiang Miaomiao's level, who was already an award-winning actress, there probably wasn't much that required her personal presence besides on-camera work.
So how could she confirm whether that Jiang Miaomiao was the one who framed Jing Zeqian?
Little Wang saw that Jing Yi wasn't speaking, seeming to be in a daze.
"Are you a fan of Sister Miaomiao?"
Jing Yi snapped back to reality and said with a smile, "Yes, I quite like her dramas."
She couldn't even remember the person, how could she have watched Jiang Miaomiao's dramas?
"Then you can just tell Mr. Jing directly. Sister Miaomiao and Mr. Jing have a very good relationship. You could say Mr. Jing single-handedly made her famous..."
"What did you say?" Jing Yi seemed to have caught some key words, reacting rather strongly.
Little Wang hesitated a bit before repeating, "I said, you could say Sister Miaomiao was single-handedly made famous by Mr. Jing."
'I never expected that the person I, Jing Zeqian, single-handedly made famous would end up stabbing me in the back for a man...'
'Jiang Miaomiao, you've really outdone yourself!'
