The Fake Heiress's Inner Thoughts Were Heard by Her Entire Family Chapter 172
"Look! Isn't that the CEO's sister?!"
"What are you talking about? Of course she's in Jing Zejun's drama - she's the female lead!"
"No, I an Jing Yi!"
"What?! Let see!"
At Startrack, two employees were discussing the recently popular drama "19th Floor Campus," starring Jing Zejun and Wen Qingyan.
After its release, the drama quickly topped the rankings on all major streaming platforms.
The previously dismissive employee stared intently at the screen - that character called 'Chen Xiaoxiao,' who else could it be but Jing Yi?!
She was shocked, "Is it just a cao? Why wasn't this ntioned in any promotions?!"
The director of "19th Floor Campus" had deliberately kept it secret, after all, she was soone who required complete confidentiality during filming - it was ant to be a surprise.
The two beca engrossed as they watched, imrsed in the latest episode.
"You know what, Jing Yi's acting is really good."
"But do you think she's planning to enter the entertainnt industry?"
Her colleague, who quite liked Jing Yi, wasn't pleased with that comnt, "Who said that? She probably just did a cao, and besides, isn't her acting better than 80% of celebrities out there?"
"You're being way too biased."
"What cao?" a familiar, clear voice ca from behind them.
Their hearts skipped a beat as they quickly looked up to see Jing Zeqian standing behind them, his slender eyes scanning both of them.
"Mr. Jing!"
One employee hastily turned off her phone, though Jing Zeqian had already caught a glimpse of the screen showing his sister's new drama with Wen Qingyan.
"Watching dramas during work hours?"
Jing Zeqian deliberately emphasized each word with an air of casual indifference.
The two looked even more flustered, but one of them bit her lip and tried to maintain composure: "Mr. Jing, we... we were analyzing data. Mr. Wen's drama is trending right now, and we were discussing how to capitalize on the traffic."
Jing Zeqian raised an eyebrow. He hadn't actually intended to do anything about it - so relaxation was good for employee wellbeing, especially since it was the company's own actor's drama.
"Don't let it happen again."
The two sighed in relief and stood at attention, "Yes, sir!"
"What were you saying about a cao?"
The employee quickly turned her phone screen back on, pausing the video on Jing Yi's scene, "We were just discussing Miss Jing Yi's cao."
The other employee sneaked a glance at Jing Zeqian, unable to contain her curiosity.
"Mr. Jing, is Miss Jing Yi planning to enter the entertainnt industry?"
She was genuinely curious. Of the CEO's two sisters, Jing Zejun apparently wasn't planning to join Startrack, so she wondered if Jing Yi would.
They had to get at least one of the sisters, right?
Jing Zeqian looked at Jing Yi's image on the screen, his brows slightly furrowed - how co he hadn't heard about Jing Yi acting in a drama?
"Play it."
The employee was stunned for a mont before realizing Jing Zeqian wanted to watch Jing Yi's scene, and quickly pressed play.
"Oh! Right away!"
'You can't save him, I won't... let anyone go...'
She actually acted quite well, which surprised Jing Zeqian. "She won't join. This was probably just a cao for Zejun's sake," Jing Zeqian explained, unusually forthcoming.
Given Jing Yi's personality, she wouldn't be interested in sothing as troubleso as entering the entertainnt industry, especially since she was already busy with her racing career.
The news of Jing Yi's cao in Jing Zejun's new drama quickly beca a trending topic online.
[Am I seeing things?! That's Jing Yi, right?!]
[Yes, yes! The director really knows how to keep a secret - not a single leak all this ti?]
[It's really Jing Yi?! I thought it was just soone who looked like her...]
[Seriously, director, you didn't even promote this?]
[I told you! Jing Yi definitely wants to enter the entertainnt industry! That variety show appearance was part of the plan all along.]
[Don't tell she's really entering the entertainnt industry? Kind of disappointing.]
[Nobody said she's entering the entertainnt industry. She probably just did a cao to help Jing Zejun.]
[Why would she do a cao if she's not entering the industry? I get it now, it's all calculated.]
Negative comnts gradually began appearing in the discussion.
Wu Yuqing, Jing Zejun's manager, was the first to notice.
With "19th Floor Campus" being such a hit, Jing Zejun, as the female lead, naturally reaped significant benefits. As her manager, Wu Yuqing needed to help Jing Zejun capitalize on this surge in popularity.
"I just want to confirm - your sister really has no interest in entering the entertainnt industry?"
Wu Yuqing told Jing Zejun about the trending topics, and those netizens' comnts seed quite convincing, making even her doubt.
She had asked Jing Zejun before, and Jing Zejun had dismissed it without much thought.
Jing Zejun rembered how terrified Jing Yi had looked after finishing filming and found it amusing, "She's definitely not interested in entering the entertainnt industry." Besides, Jing Yi had other things she wanted to do more.
Wu Yuqing nodded, not feeling particularly disappointed. Having one of the Jing family's daughters under her managent was already incredibly fortunate.
Firstly, the company wouldn't dare force unnecessary social obligations on Jing Zejun, which made her job much more pleasant. Wu Yuqing herself despised the practice of making artists attend "dinners" with investors to gain resources.
Secondly, Jing Zejun herself was a talented actress with career ambitions, and most importantly, she was already trending toward stardom.
"I'll contact the production team and discuss releasing a statent to explain the situation."
Although Jing Yi's appearance had brought new attention to the drama, the current direction of public opinion wasn't good, and Jing Zejun probably wouldn't want to use this for publicity.
Sure enough, Jing Zejun imdiately said, "Thank you, Sister Wu." They needed to address this before it completely blew up and started affecting Jing Yi's normal life.
Half an hour later, "19th Floor Campus" official account released a statent explaining Jing Yi's cao.
Jing Zejun, Wen Qingyan, and other main cast mbers reposted it.

[Wow, so Jing Yi was just visiting the set and got cast on the spot?]
[I have to say, Jing Yi's acting is really good.]
[Everyone, I just watched the new episode, it's amazing!]
[Exactly, I don't understand why you're all arguing here instead of watching the drama?]
While the subject herself remained unaware, the trending topic situation had already been resolved.
At that mont, Jing Yi was driving her beloved car 'Ghost' on her way to Huarui Group.
Looking at the bright sunny weather outside, Jing Yi was in particularly good spirits - finally able to go for a drive after being discharged from the hospital and returning ho!
anwhile, Shen Huaichu, who had received Jing Yi's ssage, wasn't in a hurry. He had one more matter to handle.
Shen Huaichu's eyes revealed a hint of ruthlessness, "Just leave him barely breathing." He was giving instructions about Wang Boqi to soone on the phone.
The person on the other end seed to say sothing, making Shen Huaichu slightly furrow his brows, "Don't worry about Jing Zeyou's side, just do what you need to do."
