Chapter 24: This is My Sister
Chapter 24
Jing Zeqian had just come down when he saw a group of people gathered together, with Jing Yi standing in the middle.
Jing Zeqian frowned slightly, "What are you all crowding around for? Don't you have work to do?"
Jiang Miaomiao turned and saw Jing Zeqian. She immediately changed her demeanor, no longer leaning on her assistant, and walked up to Jing Zeqian's side with a smile.
"Zeqian, long time no see."
Jing Zeqian glanced at her, nodded, but didn't say anything.
Jing Yi stood to the side, arms crossed, calmly watching the 'old friends reuniting' scene unfolding before her.
"What's going on?" Jing Zeqian asked.
The receptionist opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but Jiang Miaomiao looked at the assistant, and the girl from earlier stepped forward.
"Mr. Jing, we wanted to ask this young lady to move her car, but she doesn't seem willing to."
Jing Yi's expression remained unchanged, showing no intention of refuting. The receptionist felt anxious on her behalf.
Is this how she wants to play the villain? The skill level is too low, Jing Yi thought.
Jiang Miaomiao also stepped forward, speaking softly: "It's like this, Zeqian. I'm used to parking my car there, as you know. I just wanted to discuss it with this young lady..."
She seemed to think of something and put on a troubled expression, even tugging at her assistant's sleeve, with a 'I'm a bit upset but I don't want to say it and make things difficult for you' look on her face.
Jing Yi lowered her head and chuckled softly, confusing everyone around her.
This skill level is even lower, and the tactics are so outdated! Tsk tsk tsk, some people try desperately to hide their age, but the words that come out of their mouth immediately give them away, Jing Yi thought to herself.
Jing Zeqian naturally knew what Jing Yi was thinking, and could guess that the girl was definitely mocking Jiang Miaomiao's way of addressing him!
Jing Yi saw Jing Zeqian looking at her and put on a stern face, "What? Do you want me to apologize?!"
Jing Zeqian was taken aback by her accusatory tone. He looked at her helplessly, "Who said I wanted you to apologize? It's just a parking spot. If it's parked, it's parked. It's not like there aren't other spots."
Didn't Startrack arrange a parking garage? Isn't a whole floor enough for parking?
Jiang Miaomiao was stunned for a moment. She had thought that for such a small matter, Jing Zeqian would naturally side with her, as he always had in the past. He usually didn't care about trivial things.
Jing Zeqian smiled and introduced Jing Yi to Jiang Miaomiao: "Miaomiao, this is my sister, Jing Yi. It's a good opportunity for you two to meet."
So she really is Jing Zeqian's sister, Jiang Miaomiao thought. "Oh, so you're his sister. What a coincidence. Since it's sister's car, let's just leave it there then." Jiang Miaomiao smiled and greeted Jing Yi.
She had originally thought that even if this was Jing Zeqian's long-lost sister, she shouldn't have to pay too much attention to her. After all, she had known Jing Zeqian for years, while Jing Zejun had only known him for a few months.
Besides, Jing Yi was adopted.
But Jing Zeqian's attitude seemed different from what she had expected. Jiang Miaomiao suppressed her inner displeasure and maintained a gentle expression.
Jing Yi glanced at Jing Zeqian beside her, somewhat surprised that he would take her side.
"So you're the famous Sister Miaomiao. You really are beautiful. Can't your tour bus fit? Maybe have the driver be more careful, the 'Black Night' is very expensive."
Jing Yi smiled sweetly, her eyes curving into crescents.
Behind her, the receptionist pressed her lips tightly together, afraid of laughing out loud and being seen by Jiang Miaomiao.
Jiang Miaomiao's smile became a bit stiff, but she quickly composed herself.
"Is that so? Did Zeqian give it to you? You're so good to your sister."
Jing Yi naturally understood Jiang Miaomiao's implication. Her smile widened, her round almond eyes meeting Jiang Miaomiao's gaze.
"He doesn't have that kind of money. The car is from big brother."
Jing Zeqian tapped her forehead, their relationship appearing very close. "How can you say I don't have money? I can certainly afford a 'Black Night'!"
"You're bluffing! You have to borrow it from big brother to drive!"
"That's because there's only one in the whole world, and big brother bought it."
The assistant's hand trembled slightly.
Thank goodness they didn't move it impulsively, or ten tour buses wouldn't be enough to compensate.
Jiang Miaomiao's smile was becoming hard to maintain. The Jing Yi in front of her seemed more difficult to deal with than she had imagined.
"Why did you come to the company today?" Jing Zeqian didn't want to make Jiang Miaomiao's situation too awkward.
Jiang Miaomiao smiled at Jing Zeqian, "There are some work-related matters I wanted to discuss with you."
Jing Zeqian nodded, then looked at Jing Yi, "Wait for me for a bit, I'll go back with you."
"No way, Aunt Wang made afternoon tea. If we don't go back soon, it'll get cold."
Jing Yi flatly refused. The 'old friends reuniting' act was getting a bit nauseating.
"How could it possibly get cold! Wait for me and we'll go back together!"
Jing Yi was equally stubborn, "If I go back with you, I won't get to eat much! I'm going back first!"
Clearly, Jing Yi still remembered the scene from last time when Jing Zeqian ate all her snacks.
Jing Zeqian opened his mouth to argue again, but he was worried that if this continued, his image at the company would plummet.
This girl had already let slip so much!
Jing Zeqian could only let her go, "Alright then, drive carefully."
Jing Yi nodded obediently and prepared to leave. Before leaving, she stopped in front of Jiang Miaomiao.
Jing Zeqian felt a sense of foreboding.
Sure enough, he saw Jing Yi smile sweetly and say to Jiang Miaomiao: "Sister Miaomiao, now you can move your tour bus over to park."
Then she left gracefully, leaving Jing Zeqian glaring at her back.
She really had to cause trouble for him even as she was leaving!
Seeing Jiang Miaomiao's somewhat unnatural expression, Jing Zeqian said, "Let's go to my office to talk."
Jiang Miaomiao smiled and followed Jing Zeqian, "You seem to quite like this sister of yours?"
Jiang Miaomiao joked, probing Jing Yi's position in Jing Zeqian's heart.
If it were Jing Zejun, she could understand. After all, she was a long-lost sister, naturally deserving of some spoiling.
But wasn't Jing Yi adopted?
And she had always lived abroad, where did they find the time to cultivate such a relationship?
Jing Zeqian complained, "Where did you see that I like her? She only knows how to argue with me every day, contradicting me with every extra word I say. She doesn't act like a sister at all."
Jiang Miaomiao smiled and didn't say anything, but her eyes held an indecipherable look.
Jing Zeqian opened the office door and asked Secretary Li to make her a cup of coffee.
"Just water is fine. I'm about to start filming, so I'd better not have coffee."
Jing Zeqian looked at her strangely. Wasn't she always inseparable from her coffee?
"By the way, what did you want to see me about?" Jing Zeqian didn't think too much about it and sat down opposite Jiang Miaomiao.
"Oh, I had Sister Li help me accept Director Xu's film, and some variety shows. I wanted to discuss the publicity with the PR department."
"Variety shows? Didn't you always dislike participating in variety shows?"
Didn't she say that actors should maintain an air of mystery?
Jing Zeqian asked puzzled, "And won't the workload be too much? Weren't you not feeling well recently?"
A flash of unease crossed Jiang Miaomiao's eyes, but she smiled at Jing Zeqian, "I got bored after resting for a while, you know? I thought it would be good to interact more with the public. Besides, these are just some casual variety shows."
Seeing that she had already made up her mind, Jing Zeqian didn't say anything more. He just asked his secretary to call in the PR department for a meeting.
