[I know! I was there. The host asked Jing Zejun how she felt about her identity change, and she talked about the doubts she\'s been facing lately.]
[The important part is! She said Jing Yi is the only person who knows how she feels, and that Jing Yi would stand up for her. Finally, Jing Zejun said if she compromised, audiences wouldn\'t call her Jing Zejun anymore when they see her again!]
[I was there too! I burst into tears when I heard that! Is this what they mean by \'another me in this world\'?]
[What does that mean? What does she mean by \'wouldn\'t call her Jing Zejun anymore\'?]
[It\'s obvious! If she hadn\'t insisted, people would probably call her Jing Zeqian\'s sister now, or Hengjing Group CEO Jing Zeyou\'s sister.]
[But don\'t people already know her identity now? Isn\'t this just drawing attention to it?]
[At least it lets everyone know her stance.]
As netizens chatted, the topic drifted, and they began comparing the relationship between the Jing sisters to that of the Li sisters.
With both pairs being sisters and all four appearing on the same variety show, the discussion became increasingly heated.
[I think Jing Zejun and Jing Yi\'s relationship seems closer. There\'s always something off about Li Shaocheng and her sister.]
[Me too! I didn\'t dare say it before, but I can\'t even remember Li Shaocheng\'s sister\'s name now...]
[At least our Li Shaocheng and Sister Juzi are blood-related. The other pair seems to be riding the popularity wave too hard!]
[Some fans shouldn\'t pretend to be neutral observers! Fake is fake! Stop pretending to have a deep sisterly bond!]
[Well, can you tell me what Li Shaocheng\'s sister\'s name is then?! You keep calling her \'Li Shaocheng\'s sister\', doesn\'t she have her own name?]
Li Shaocheng, reading the discussion under the topic, grew increasingly angry. "What\'s wrong with you? Didn\'t I tell you to interact more with the fans? Why are there still so many supporting Jing Yi down there?!"
Her manager calmly sat on the sofa, ignoring her outburst.
"I\'m talking to you! What\'s with your attitude?!"
The manager glanced up at her, "My attitude? The company finally found you a variety show that could make you popular, and this is all the attention you\'ve gained? And you\'re asking about my attitude? Li Shaocheng, don\'t be so arrogant."
Li Shaocheng restrained herself a bit, but still gritted her teeth, "Brother Lu, you\'ve seen it too! It\'s not me causing trouble, it\'s Jing Zejun and Jing Yi! If it weren\'t for them, how could I be overshadowed? Those people even say I\'m not as good as her!"
"So what do you plan to do? Hire water armies? Don\'t forget what her brother does. If it\'s traced back to you, that\'s one thing, but what if it\'s traced back to the company? Think more about how to gain fans on the variety show."
The manager stood up, dusted off his clothes, and turned to leave. A C-list celebrity about to fade into obscurity, he didn\'t know why he was wasting so much time.
Li Shaocheng stared at his back, her eyes full of hatred.
Not as good? She wasn\'t as good at anything!
Li Shaocheng swept everything in front of her onto the floor, thinking of her manager\'s mockery, her whole body trembling with anger.
She clenched her teeth, "I don\'t believe I can\'t outdo you fake sisters!"
Meanwhile, Jing Yi, who had just finished her first recording and was unaware of being on someone\'s mind, was taking a nap in her room.
After she had slept enough, she went downstairs and saw the familiar Aunt Wang.
"Aunt Wang! You\'re finally back!"
Aunt Wang had just brought out her lunch, and seeing Jing Yi\'s smiling face welcoming her, she was also very happy.
"If you hadn\'t come back, I would have starved to death," Jing Yi said exaggeratedly.
But Aunt Wang\'s crow\'s feet deepened, "Aren\'t you quite good at cooking?"
If she hadn\'t watched the livestream, she would have thought Jing Yi had been starved during the recording.
During her time off at home, Aunt Wang would watch the Jing family\'s livestreams. Seeing Jing Yi cooking so well, she was quite surprised.
Jing Yi picked up a piece of Aunt Wang\'s signature dish, put it in her mouth, and her face was full of satisfaction.
"Those were just home-cooked meals. How can they compare to Aunt Wang\'s cooking!"
It wasn\'t an exaggeration - so far, no one could cook better than Aunt Wang!
She felt like all the fatigue from this period had been healed!
Seeing the person in front of her eating with such relish, Aunt Wang looked at Jing Yi lovingly. Her way of eating really made one\'s appetite grow.
"Have big brother and the others already gone to work?" Jing Yi raised her head to ask Aunt Wang during a pause.
"Zeyou and Zejun left early in the morning, and Zeqian went to the company after having breakfast this morning."
It wasn\'t surprising that Jing Zeyou went to work punctually as always.
Jing Yi also knew that Jing Zejun was going to discuss endorsement matters with advertisers today.
What was surprising was that Jing Zeqian was so diligent to go to work when they had just finished recording and could rest.
Indeed, she was the only one with nothing to do! Jing Yi contentedly took a sip of the soup. This was truly comfortable!
Meanwhile, in the CEO\'s office of Hengjing Group, Assistant Chen stood in front of the desk, reporting to Jing Zeyou about the matters he was asked to investigate a few days ago.
"...After General Shen left Huarui Group in the morning, those vans followed him, then forced his car onto a small road at Shubo Road. A few minutes later, Miss Yi also followed the navigation\'s directions to the small road, which is why she encountered the people from the vans surrounding General Shen."
Jing Zeyou\'s fingers lightly tapped on the desk, his eyes deep in thought, seemingly pondering something.
Assistant Chen lowered his head slightly, waiting for Jing Zeyou\'s next instructions.
Jing Zeyou spoke: "Have you found out who the people in the vans were?"
Assistant Chen immediately replied: "We\'ve clarified that. They were hired by General Shen\'s aunt, who is the wife of the former Huarui Group president. General Shen called the police that day and had them arrested."
At this point, Assistant Chen couldn\'t help but criticize in his heart. Mrs. Shen really had poor judgment in people.
Not to mention her choice of husband, who was incompetent - Huarui Group was in such a state under his management - and morally questionable, even keeping several mistresses.
As for the people she hired, she spent so much money just to get a bunch of thugs who could only bluff. They only dared to bring sticks to a fight and were taken down in just two or three moves.
Jing Zeyou knew some of Shen Huaichu\'s family affairs, but these weren\'t his main concern.
The reason he asked Assistant Chen to investigate the incident of Shen Huaichu being surrounded was only for Jing Yi\'s sake.
Jing Yi rarely had such a poor attitude towards someone, and knowing that the person she encountered in the previous fight was Shen Huaichu, these things together made Jing Zeyou worry about any emotional entanglement between Jing Yi and Shen Huaichu.
