The Jing family, including Jing Zeyou and others, were gathered in the living room, holding a family meeting.
Jing Yi secretly glanced at one person, then another.
[The frequency of family meetings has been so high lately...]
The main topic of the family meeting was the variety show invitation received by Jing Zejun's agent.
This show focused on family relationships, planning to invite five different celebrity families to participate in filming to showcase the daily interactions of different familial relationships.
Jing Zejun was one of the guests the director planned to invite.
As soon as he saw the news about Jing Zejun, the director immediately contacted Jing Zejun's team.
He knew this was an excellent opportunity. Not to mention Jing Zejun's recent popularity, just the identity of being the Jing family's daughter was a win for the show. Of course, if they could get Hengjing's CEO on camera as well...
Jing Zejun was the first to express his thoughts, "This is what I'm thinking: participating in the variety show can indeed help alleviate the recent public opinion. I plan to go with Yi."
Jing Yi, sitting next to Jing Zejun, wasn't surprised by his words, but she wasn't particularly happy either. Her mind was full of thoughts about not being able to sleep in.
Jing Zeyou looked at her helplessly. When he came back, he was worried that Jing Yi might be affected, but Jing Zeqian said she was fine. He didn't quite believe it at first.
Now it seemed that Jing Yi really didn't care about those people's comments.
However, while Jing Yi didn't care, the other family members wanted to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.
Lin Ruiqing, not very familiar with these variety shows, looked at Jing Zejun and asked, "For a family variety show, is it okay if only you and Yi go?"
Jing Zejun shook his head, "It's fine. The director won't actually invite all members of five families."
Although it's called a family variety show, the director wouldn't really require guests to bring all their family members. Naturally, different familial relationships would be arranged as the main subjects of observation.
Jing Zeyou leisurely poured a cup of tea for Jing Beicheng, seemingly pondering something.
Jing Zeqian, who was nearby, said, "I'll go too."
Jing Yi glanced at Jing Zeqian, who had joined the conversation, finding it peculiar.
[Isn't he in this industry? How come he's interested in filming a variety show?]
Of course, Jing Zeqian wasn't interested in filming a variety show. He just wanted to accompany Jing Yi and the others. If any problems arose, having him there would make things more stable.
Moreover, he was somewhat familiar with this variety show. During the last artist work report, Wen Qingyan from his company had also received an invitation.
Wen Qingyan's agent originally wanted to accept it for him, but Wen Qingyan wasn't too interested in variety shows, so he seemed to have declined the invitation.
It appeared that this director was really ambitious, wanting both heat for the show and guests who brought their own traffic.
Jing Beicheng nodded. Jing Zeqian knew better than anyone else in the family how to present themselves on a variety show, so having him there was reassuring.
Jing Zeyou looked up and said casually, "Then I'll join too."
Jing Zeyou's words surprised everyone else.
Jing Zejun was stunned for a few seconds, "Big brother, what did you say?"
Jing Yi was shocked, her eyes wide open. Had she misheard?
"Big brother, that's filming a variety show. If you go, you won't be able to go to the office and work on time..."
Seeing the same expression on the faces of other family members, Jing Zeyou felt a bit helpless. Did they really think he was such a workaholic that he'd feel uncomfortable if he didn't work for a day?
Clearly, that's exactly what Jing Yi thought.
[Since when did 'workaholic' big brother become interested in other things? Could it be that Hengjing is planning to enter the entertainment industry and he's here to investigate?]
Jing Beicheng raised an eyebrow slightly. How come he didn't know Hengjing was developing new business?
Jing Zeyou replied, "Work matters can be handled remotely." The biggest issue at the moment was how to resolve the public opinion attacks on Jing Yi.
If only Jing Zejun and Jing Yi went on the show, the internet would likely be in an even bigger uproar, making the direction of public opinion even harder to control.
Moreover, since Jing Zejun's return, he hadn't had a chance to deeply understand Jing Zejun's profession. This was the perfect opportunity.
[Hengjing's CEO, Startrack's CEO... This director really hit the jackpot!]
Jing Zejun had the same feeling. She didn't rush to contact her agent, but instead looked at her two brothers again, "Big brother, second brother, why don't you think about it some more?"
Although it was called a family variety show, she hadn't planned on dragging both of her brothers into it.
Jing Zeqian leaned back in his chair, returning to his usual lazy demeanor, "What's there to think about? It's just a variety show." It just so happened that he had never filmed one before, so he could experience the work of his artists.
Jing Zeyou also nodded.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Jing Beicheng instructed, "I'll have Uncle Li pay attention to some details. You can film at home since your mother and I won't be there."
Jing Yi was stunned for a moment before realizing that Jing Beicheng and Lin Ruiqing had mentioned their plans to travel last time.
Lin Ruiqing smiled and said, "It's perfect that you'll be filming at home. We don't really like having cameras pointed at us all the time, so we're planning to leave tomorrow."
This was what Lin Ruiqing and Jing Beicheng had just discussed. After hearing that they were all going to film the variety show, she decided to set off tomorrow.
Anyway, Jing Beicheng had already arranged all the specific details, and with their two sons watching over things, they had nothing to worry about.
Jing Yi, on the side, was incredibly envious.
[I wonder if I told uncle now that I want to travel with them...]
Jing Beicheng's heart skipped a beat. He lifted the teacup in front of him and took a sip, while mentally preparing various excuses.
Jing Zeqian was also frantically thinking of ways to interrupt. They absolutely couldn't let Jing Yi get her way. The show was originally accepted for her sake, and now she was trying to pull a last-minute escape!
[Forget it, uncle will definitely refuse! The variety show was accepted for my sake in the first place, and if I ran away, Jing Zeqian would definitely catch me.]
At least you have some self-awareness, Jing Zeqian thought as he secretly glanced at Jing Yi.
The corners of Jing Zeyou's mouth turned up slightly. He wasn't worried at all that Jing Yi would actually go traveling with Jing Beicheng and Lin Ruiqing.
No matter how carefree or easygoing Jing Yi's personality was, she wouldn't be unaware of the purpose behind their participation in this variety show.
"Junjun, do I need to play a certain character?" She had watched many variety shows.
Even for reality shows, most of them still had scripts. It was impossible to show everything.
Jing Zejun looked at her enthusiastic expression and said with amusement, "This is already enough."
Jing Zeqian poured cold water on her excitement, "What kind of role do you still want to play? With your acting skills, you'd be exposed in a minute."
Being exposed would be even more troublesome. It was better to just act normally during filming, the same as usual.
Jing Zeyou also agreed. As the daughter of the Jing family, there was no need to compromise herself to cater to others' preferences.
Jing Yi thought about it and agreed, deciding not to create trouble for herself.
