"You're going to be on a reality show?!"
Shen Xi was shocked, nearly spilling her coffee.
She had just learned about what happened to the Jing family and, seeing that Jing Yi was affected too, called her out to ask about it. She didn't expect Jing Yi to bring such big news.
Shen Xi looked at Jing Yi in surprise, "How did you decide to go on a reality show? Are you planning to enter the entertainment industry?"
Jing Yi sighed softly. It wasn't about entering the entertainment industry, but rather because Jing Zeyou and the others said this was the fastest way to dispel the rumors.
Shen Xi nodded in understanding.
However, before she could calm down for more than a few seconds, Jing Yi's next words shocked her again.
Shen Xi's eyes widened once more, her face full of disbelief, "Jing, your brothers are also going to participate in this family reality show?!"
Those were the two young masters of the Jing family, one being the renowned Hengjing's CEO, and the other the famous Startrack's CEO in the entertainment industry.
This reality show was going to be star-studded...
Shen Xi was curious about what kind of director could persuade both Jing family CEOs to participate.
Jing Yi thought for a moment, recalling some of the director's works that Jing Zejun had mentioned to her, "The parent-child reality show on Fruit TV, and also..."
Jing Yi listed several well-known reality shows for Shen Xi, all of which were popular shows in various time slots.
"I've actually watched all of those," Shen Xi remarked. "When does it start?"
"Probably next week." The director would be coming to their house in a few days to discuss the filming details, though of course, she would just be there to make up the numbers.
Anyway, setting aside the reality show matter, Shen Xi was more concerned about the recent trending topic issue.
She shared the same doubts as Jing Zeqian and the others, finding it strange that someone would use internet trolls to target Jing Yi.
Jing Yi wasn't even in the entertainment industry and had just returned to the country, barely meeting anyone.
While Jing Zejun and the others couldn't think of who might be behind it, Jing Yi had someone in mind.
Jing Yi held her coffee cup but didn't lift it, her calm gaze seeming to ponder something.
Shen Xi looked up at her, "Have you thought of something?"
Jing Yi pursed her lips and asked, "Do you know Jiang Miaomiao?"
Jiang Miaomiao? Shen Xi was puzzled and thought for a moment.
"Do you mean the celebrity Jiang Miaomiao?"
Jing Yi nodded slightly.
Recalling the conversation between Jing Zejun and Jing Zeqian earlier, they all believed that even if the person behind the internet trolls wasn't a celebrity, they would be someone related to the entertainment industry.
At the time, she thought it might have been a random attack by a celebrity that happened to affect her.
But later, Jing Yi thought of one person. If it had to be someone connected to the entertainment industry, it must be Jiang Miaomiao.
All because of the parking space incident last time.
Shen Xi frowned slightly, "Are you saying she arranged for the internet trolls because she was unhappy about you taking her parking space last time?"
"It's just a guess."
But besides Jiang Miaomiao, Jing Yi didn't know any other celebrities.
Shen Xi rested her chin on her hands, looking somewhat troubled.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she looked at Jing Yi excitedly.
"Anyway, since that Jiang Miaomiao is an employee of your second brother's company, why not just leave it to him?"
After all, Jing Zeqian would surely protect his sister, right?
Jing Yi raised an eyebrow slightly, thinking Shen Xi's idea was too simplistic.
First of all, this was just Jing Yi's guess.
If Jing Zeqian and Jing Zeyou couldn't find out who was behind it, it meant the other party was well-prepared. Even if she insisted it was Jiang Miaomiao, and even if Jing Zeqian believed her, it wouldn't make much difference.
Moreover, she was more worried that this would alert the people behind Jiang Miaomiao, making it harder to control the situation later.
Shen Xi still didn't understand, "But you're her boss's sister, why would she think of targeting you?"
Even if there were some conflicts before, now that she knows Jing Yi is Jing Zeqian's sister, why would she still make a move?
"First of all, I'm still a fake sister. And I think even if it were Jing Zejun, she wouldn't care."
This wasn't just a random guess from Jing Yi; she had seen Jiang Miaomiao's attitude towards her last time.
As one of Startrack's top stars and having a good relationship with Jing Zeqian, she wouldn't take seriously a sister who had only been around for a few months.
As for how Jiang Miaomiao viewed Jing Zejun, the original novel had mentioned it.
Jiang Miaomiao was Jing Zejun's idol at first. They didn't have much interaction until Jing Zeqian stepped in and asked Jiang Miaomiao to look after his sister.
Jiang Miaomiao started to notice Jing Zejun, this not-so-famous small celebrity.
Although she agreed to Jing Zeqian's request on the surface, Jiang Miaomiao didn't take Jing Zejun seriously in private.
It wasn't until she saw Jing Zeqian subtly favoring Jing Zejun that her dissatisfaction became more apparent.
In the original novel, Jiang Miaomiao deliberately took on the same drama that Jing Zejun had accepted.
On the surface, she acted like a good sister guiding Jing Zejun's acting, but in reality, she treated Jing Zejun harshly over and over again, even hinting to fans that she was being treated unfairly in both the drama production and the company.
Afterwards, not only Jing Zejun's social media accounts but even Startrack's account received numerous private messages filled with insults.
Jiang Miaomiao's behavior of guiding fans was not just to cause trouble for Jing Zejun, but more of a signal to start distancing herself from Startrack, ensuring she could exit unscathed.
Later, this indeed became a significant boost to Jiang Miaomiao's plans.
Shen Xi looked surprised, not expecting that Jiang Miaomiao wouldn't even take Jing Zejun seriously, "Is she that powerful?"
Jing Yi raised an eyebrow. What else?
She was someone who could shake Jing Zeqian's resolve.
Of course, Jiang Miaomiao's boldness wasn't just because of her good relationship with Jing Zeqian, but more importantly, because of her backing.
Every step Jiang Miaomiao took was premeditated. If Jing Yi hadn't known the plot in advance, she probably wouldn't have been able to guard against it, let alone Jing Zeqian, who trusted Jiang Miaomiao deeply.
Thinking about this, Jing Yi felt a bit of a headache.
She could understand that Jiang Miaomiao had brought certain achievements to Jing Zeqian's career, after all, they were partners who had come up together since their youth.
Jing Zeqian created Startrack, and Jiang Miaomiao's fame had established Startrack's position from the beginning, making it stand out among other entertainment companies.
But if it weren't for Jing Zeqian, how would Jiang Miaomiao have achieved her current success?
"So what do you plan to do?"
Even if you know who's behind it, it's still troublesome without evidence, right?
"Prepare to film the reality show," Jing Yi shrugged.
What else could she do? She could only take it step by step. It was too early to say anything now. Jiang Miaomiao and her backer hadn't finished playing their hand, so Jing Yi could only wait and see.
"Then I'll have to watch the TV closely! That's Hengjing's CEO! And your second brother too! Two handsome guys! This show is going to be a hit!"
On the other side, the director who invited Jing Zejun thought the same.
