The Fake Heiress's Inner Thoughts Were Heard by Her Entire Family - Chapter 65: Part-Time Bodyguard

Chapter 65

“Today, we’re going to announce a task regarding next week’s living expenses,” Director Xu said.

Jing Zeyou took the task card handed to him by Director Xu and looked at the ‘part-time job task’ inside with some confusion.

Seeing this, the other three gathered around.

Director Xu continued, “Before we start recording next week, we’ll strictly control expenses based on the earnings from this part-time job.”

Jing Yi’s eyes widened as she looked at the task card in front of her.

[What?! I have to control my spending in my own home?!]

“Of course, no matter where you all go next week, you must use only the money earned from this part-time job.”

Jing Yi raised her hand, and Director Xu gestured for her to ask her question.

“I want to ask, doesn’t my big brother going to the company count as work?”

Director Xu couldn’t help but laugh, “That definitely doesn’t count.”

[How daring! Asking the CEO of Hengjing to do part-time work?!]

[Haha, how could that be considered part-time work? Is there any part-time job that pays millions per minute?!]

[This perspective is quite fresh…]

[The production team is being unreasonable. How can working for yourself not count as work? Haha]

[Who would dare to ask the CEO of Hengjing to work for them?!]

Jing Zeyou spoke up, “Where do you all want to go next week?” He needed to know the destination first to plan the next steps.

Jing Zejun hesitated for a moment, “How about going on a trip?” It was getting boring staying at home all the time.

Jing Yi nodded eagerly in agreement. She had been restless for a while now. Recording a variety show was different from just lounging at home. Even though there would be many cameras when they went out, it was still better than being stuck at home.

Seeing that the other two had expressed their opinions, Jing Zeqian didn’t object, “Where do you want to go?” He wondered where he should find a part-time job.

As they were all pondering, Jing Yi seemed to have thought of something, her eyes lighting up.

“How about a road trip?” This way, they could go wherever they wanted.

Jing Zeqian also became interested, “Sounds good! Feels like it would be fun!”

[Wait, they know they need to earn money for the recording, yet they suggest an expensive road trip?]

[Exactly, I don’t know what she’s thinking. Does she think she doesn’t have to earn money herself?]

[But a road trip, doesn’t it sound fun?]

[They have brothers who can earn money, why are you all getting so worked up?]

Regardless of the debate in the comments, the four of them had already decided on the road trip. The next issue was how to earn money.

Although a road trip would be fun, it would certainly require a considerable amount of money.

Jing Yi cupped her chin, looking troubled. Her skills were limited, and she couldn’t think of what to do for work.

Jing Yi started to list her skills.

[Racing? Earn prize money from competitions? No, that’s too slow. It’s best to have something that pays daily.]

Jing Zeqian, hearing her plan to earn money through racing, instinctively wanted to object, but he was relieved when Jing Yi immediately dismissed the idea.

[How about being a bodyguard?]

Jing Yi recalled her decent self-defense skills and shifted her gaze to the three family members in the room.

First was Jing Zeyou, but Jing Yi quickly ruled him out.

[No good, big brother is very busy, and besides, his driver is already his bodyguard. I can’t take someone else’s job, can I?]

Jing Zeyou didn’t object, but he worried Jing Yi might get bored.

Jing Yi then looked at Jing Zeqian.

He unconsciously straightened his back, feeling a bit smug. If Jing Yi wanted to be his bodyguard, he wouldn’t mind accepting.

[This is even worse! Following him would definitely give me a headache from his constant lecturing! And he’d probably make me memorize the entire history of Startrack! Too scary!]

Jing Zeqian gritted his teeth a bit.

Finally, Jing Yi settled on Jing Zejun.

[I’ll stick with Junjun! It won’t count as earning money from family, and I can protect her!]

Jing Yi quickly raised her hand.

Director Xu felt a twinge of unease, not knowing what strange idea this young lady had come up with this time.

“Can I be Junjun’s bodyguard?” Jing Yi asked.

Director Xu was taken aback, “There’s a rule that says no cheating. Working for family members counts as cheating.” Besides, with Jing Yi’s small frame, how could she be a bodyguard?

[…Why does she always try to exploit loopholes?]

[Everyone else is recording properly, why is she always trying to bend the rules?]

[She doesn’t think this is cute, does she? Being a bodyguard isn’t something just anyone can do.]

[She’s probably just trying to ride on Jing Zejun’s popularity.]

Hearing Director Xu’s words, Jing Zejun immediately retorted, “If Yi Yi becomes my bodyguard, she’d be earning money from my company, not from me personally.”

Jing Zejun wasn’t lying about this. Her manager and assistant were directly employed by Great Qin Entertainment, and their salaries were paid by the company.

Director Xu grew a bit anxious and continued, “But being a bodyguard is still cheating. The job content doesn’t match the guest’s actual abilities.”

At these words, the expressions of the three Jing family members became somewhat complex, making Director Xu wonder if he had said something wrong.

Jing Zeyou looked up at Director Xu, “As long as we can prove that Yi Yi has the ability to handle this position, she can be Junjun’s assistant bodyguard, right?”

“…Yes,” Director Xu replied reluctantly.

Jing Zeyou gestured to Jing Yi, who stood up, flexing her wrists.

“Then send someone out to spar with me for a few rounds.”

Director Xu looked at Jing Yi with a complicated expression, while the staff behind him also looked scared. This was the Jing family’s precious daughter – what if they accidentally hurt her? Would they still have their jobs?

[Can’t she stop messing around? The staff are just trying to make a living, who has time to play with this rich girl?]

[But it was the CEO who spoke up? Maybe Jing Yi actually has some skills?]

[You’re joking! If this isn’t fake fighting or just playing along with her, I’ll eat my keyboard!]

Jing Zeqian crossed his legs, leaning back lazily on the sofa. Seeing the staff members timidly hiding in the back, he smirked.

“Don’t worry, if anything breaks, it’s not on you. If you can land a hit on her, there’s a bonus in it for you. Just send out a few strong ones.”

Jing Yi glared at him, then continued to stand in place, waiting.

Hearing Jing Zeqian’s words, Director Xu felt more at ease. The living room was full of cameras, and the boss of Startrack Company wouldn’t go back on his word.

Director Xu called for two of the more robust-looking staff members.

Both looked somewhat nervous, “Miss Jing, we apologize in advance…”

Jing Yi smiled, her eyes curving, “It’s fine, just come at me together.”

The two exchanged a glance, then attacked simultaneously.

Jing Yi’s smiling eyes instantly turned cold. She calmly observed their movements, swiftly dodging their punches while quickly kicking one of them in the knee.

Seeing his companion fall so quickly, the other man’s eyes showed surprise, but he still gritted his teeth and charged forward.

He raised his foot, preparing for a flying kick, but Jing Yi caught his leg. Her right elbow moved with incredible speed towards his chin. The staff member closed his eyes in fear.

But he only felt a gust of wind. Jing Yi had stopped a split second before making contact with his chin.

She smiled and released him, then helped up the still-shocked staff member who was lying on the ground.
