Zhu Xiangxiang couldn’t help but reveal a hint of resentment in her eyes, which was inadvertently caught by Lin Qing.

She was taken aback.

People are unpredictable, even if it’s a child she raised herself, she can’t understand what she’s really thinking.

Lin Qing shook her head in disappointment.

When Ming Jing returned to her room, Xiao Ying had already put Ming Yi to sleep.

“Miss, Yi Yi was looking for you just a while ago, she just fell asleep.”

Ming Jing nodded: “Thank you for your hard work.”

“It’s not hard at all, Yi Yi is very well-behaved, taking care of her is not tiring at all, you should rest early, Miss.” She softly shut the door behind her as she left.

Zheng Qing jumped in through the window, glanced at the little girl on the bed, and lowered her voice, “You’re just a child yourself, why are you taking care of another child who isn’t even related to you? You could just send her to a regular family, pay them monthly to watch her. It’d be easier and less effort.”

Ming Jing tucked Ming Yi into her blanket and said lightly, “I made a promise to Master, to take care of them until they grow up.”

“You’re not dealing with one burden, but three, no, four.”

Zheng Qing sat down on the sofa, picked an apple from the fruit bowl and crunched it, “They’re really lucky to have you, a senior sister who is naive and wealthy.”

“By the way, did anything interesting happen at Granny Gao’s banquet tonight?”

The apple crunched loudly as she bit into it.

“Alright then, you’re like a tumbler toy, never reacting no matter how much one tries to provoke you. It’s exhausting to talk to you. I am leaving, you should get some rest.”

Ming Jing suddenly asked, “Does Bai Weining know?”

Zheng Qing was stunned, “Oh, isn’t that one of the members from Superstar? I met her backstage at a fashion ceremony last year. This girl is too coquettish, I couldn’t stand it.” She shivered unintentionally.

She still remembers the fear of being mockingly called ‘sister Zheng’ by that little girl.

“Why do you suddenly ask about her?”

“She’s Granny Gao’s granddaughter.”

“Ah, I see. Superstar was formed from a talent show last year. At that time, the program group wanted to invite me as a mentor, but since I was busy filming, I refused. The biggest selling point of this group is that they are from the same company as Qu Feitai… they created waves by marketing this point.” Zheng Qing suddenly turned to look at her, “She didn’t bully you, did she?” Ming Jing chuckled, “Do I really seem like an easy target in your eyes?”

“No one in the entertainment industry is naive. These people have more tricks than a wasp nest. This Bai Weining appears innocent and cute on camera, but do you know she made fun of me behind my back, calling me old? Even if I’m older, I’m still more attractive and have a higher status than her.”

Zheng Qing was fuming as she recalled.

“Next time you see her, give her a good lesson for me. This little girl has yet to learn the harsh realities of society.”

Ming Jing asked with a smile, “Is the entertainment industry fun?”

Zheng Qing nodded and then shook her head.

“The entertainment industry, it seems glamorous and luxurious to outsiders. Everyone is rushing to make a fortune and gain fame and recognition. However, once you’re in, you’ll realize how messy and dirty it is. When I first entered the industry, a director wanted to take advantage of me. Being straightforward as I was, I beat him up. It relieved my anger and got me completely blacklisted. After two years, the director was jailed for drug abuse, and I got my career back. This time I learned my lesson, anyone who wants to take advantage of me can, but only after signing a contract. If they went back on their word, they’d have to compensate for breach of contract. Relying on such unscrupulous audacity, I made my way in the entertainment industry.” Recallinq the past, Zhenq Qing was rather reflective, “In the entertainment

industry, you can’t have a sense of shame. If you do, others will step on you to climb up. In this circle, don’t bother with emotions.”

Ming Jing thought for a moment and said, “You must have made a lot of money since you were able to get the black card.”

Zheng Qing was energized when this was mentioned, ‘Well, putting everything else aside, celebrities do make a lot of money. Just by filming a movie, tens of millions are credited into your account. Pose for few pictures, sign an advertising contract, and again, tens of millions are credited into your account. Simply live-stream and sell products, and money pours in. Of course, this only applies to top-tier artists like us who have both popularity and acting skills, and we have climbed to the top of the industry with great effort.”

“But, in today’s world, capital reigns supreme. As long as you have capital support, celebrities can be mass-produced like products. If they’re pushed hard enough, they can still manage somehow.”

Zheng Qing looked at Ming Jing, sizing her up, “With your look, you’re basically blessed by God. If you entered the entertainment industry, with my guidance, I guarantee you’d be a superstar..”
