After Switching Bodies, the Mad Overbearing CEO Takes Over the Entertainment Industry-Chapter 48 - : True Boss

Chapter 48: Chapter 48: True Boss

It was two years ago, the first day Ji Lingyun met Fu Wanxue, and under family pressure, he added her on WeChat the next day, then the day after, he blocked and deleted her, went on a business trip, and never returned home…

Ji Tian twitched the corner of her mouth, suddenly feeling some sympathy for her older brother. It was said that even now, the eldest daughter of the Fu Family still clung to him, entering the entertainment industry just to catch his attention.

Their story had become quite the anecdote in their circles. Unfortunately, her brother had a heart of stone; he had hardly seen Fu Wanxue a few times, let alone developed any feelings for her.

But because of that incident, the whole world knew he had an ex-girlfriend waiting for him to look back.

Qiao Luhua, failing to change Ji Lingyun, switched topics to Ji Qilin, “What about you? You’re turning 25 after the New Year, planning to stay single like your brother, huh?”

“Lady Qiao, when fate arrives, I will naturally start dating.”

...

Lady Qiao was speechless, “Why can’t you be like your dad and me, see eye to eye and get a quick marriage?”

Ji Yanshang didn’t want Qiao Luhua to keep harping on this topic, or else his second son might stop coming home too, so he pointed to the current news and said, “Li Shizhong’s great master has come back; is this news true?”

Ji Qilin frowned and shook his head, “I heard he has returned, but I don’t know if it’s true. It’s been rumored he was dead for over a decade, his sudden return is a bit scary.”

Li Shizhong is a medical authority, highly respected, and besides his great master Li Hongjin, he is recognized as the foremost expert in ancient medicine, skilled in acupuncture to the point of perfection, and he even took a highly talented young girl as his last disciple.

Ji Yanshang, intrigued, raised an eyebrow, “Tomorrow when you attend the research conference, try to find out the truth, and if he really has returned, we should find some time to pay him a visit.”

Ji Qilin agreed, Ji Yanshang’s gaze then shifted to Ji Tian, who was eavesdropping, and asked, “Your third brother went up to study, what are you still doing here?”

Ji Tian: “…”

She turned and walked upstairs.

Before she left, their voices faintly reached her.

Lady Qiao, the top gossipmonger: “Hey, isn’t Gong Yu’s father really caught cheating? It even made the hot search.”

Ji Yanshang replied irritably, “That was Gong Yu’s uncle, you can’t even get your gossip right.”

“Oh, so did his aunt really bring six strong men to catch the cheater…”

Their voices gradually faded away, Ji Tian no longer paying attention.

As soon as she got upstairs, she saw Ji Weinan with a gloomy face looking at the “Grade 5-3 Test Questions” as if it were his nemesis. As Ji Tian came up, his voice squeezed out through his teeth, “Ji Tian, good going!”

Ji Tian pretended not to understand, “What are you saying? Third brother, I’m doing this for your own good. Read more books, contribute to the country, you’ll thank me later when you recall this moment of striving.”

Ji Weinan: “…” I thank your entire family.

He decided to ignore her as he couldn’t figure out why Ji Tian was targeting him so persistently lately and Shen Zhiyi too, which was really annoying.

Ji Tian, content, lay down on the table, doodling with a pen.

Finally, looking at the result, a green leaf and a yellow leaf, she sighed, “Love is like leaves, either green or yellow.”

Ji Weinan: “…”

He suspected this remark was aimed at him, but he had no evidence.

Ji Tian quickly flipped through a book, memorized it, then lay down on the table and fell asleep. Seeing her asleep, Ji Weinan followed suit and slept too.

Unbeknownst to Lady Qiao, she quietly came over and happened to witness them slacking off.

The next day.

As Ji Tian had just gotten out of her family’s Rolls-Royce, she was stopped by a middle-aged man who handed her a business card, “Miss Ji, hello, I’m Yan Ming, the director of the new variety show ‘True Boss’ Season One. I invite you to participate in the first recording of our program because you have a stunning appearance. Would you be interested? Don’t worry, we will not shortchange you on the compensation.”

Yan Ming didn’t even dare to ask her to join permanently, only for one episode, because the compensation they could offer might not even match the price of a custom outfit that Ji Tian wore.

Ji Tian blinked, a variety show?

What is that?

She’s only seventeen, why would she join a variety show?

She wasn’t interested in becoming famous, and just from the name, she could tell it definitely wasn’t an easy-going fun show. Ji Tian refused. It was more pleasant to lounge around at home or slack off in class than to suffer through a variety show.

She walked away as she declined, “No, I’m not interested.”

Having been rejected, Yan Ming didn’t pursue further, though he felt it was a pity.

He gathered his spirits and continued searching for suitable guests for the variety show amid the vast crowd.

When he saw Shen Zhiyi, information about her flashed in his mind.

A genius “Academic God” of second-grade seniors at Imperial City Academy, he had entered the school the day before and saw her on the honor wall, so he recognized her at first glance.

He approached and stopped Shen Zhiyi, “Shen, hello, I’m Yan Ming, the director of the new variety show ‘True Boss’ Season One. I stopped you because you fit our program’s criteria in all aspects. I’d like to inquire if you would be interested in participating in this program. We will compensate you.”

Shen Zhiyi’s heart skipped a beat.

So the plot advance that “008” talked about before leaving was referring to this variety show.

The show initially planned for their third year of high school had been moved up a year because of Qin Jiangsheng, to allow her to grow earlier.

The original female protagonist used this variety show to gain fame, gained a million fans after the show ended, and then, due to her medical skills and other areas of expertise, her fans increased by ten million instantly, reaching the peak right from her debut.

Shen Zhiyi’s heart warmed instantly; this was an excellent opportunity. She feigned difficulty and then pursed her lips, “How much compensation is there? Is it fifty thousand? My mother is ill, and we really need the money.”

Yan Ming’s heart softened immediately toward this good and filial young girl, his voice gentled, “More than that, definitely enough for your mother’s treatment.”

Shen Zhiyi then nodded, “I’m willing to participate. When does the program start?”

Yan Ming gave her a business card, “This is my phone number. I’ll send you a message to notify you. The show still needs some preliminary promotion, so it will take about a week and will be broadcast live.”

Shen Zhiyi took it, smiling as she thanked him, “Thank you.”

Yan Ming saw her in simple clothes, her demeanor fresh and lively, and he smiled too, “Focus on your classes for now. I’ll discuss with your school’s principal to make sure your studies aren’t disrupted.”

Having said that, he left.

Shen Zhiyi looked at the business card in her hand, her smile growing wider. Only if she established a persona of kindness and resilience could she garner more attention. Her eyes darkened a bit. But all this still wasn’t enough; she needed a catalyst to ignite popularity even before the show aired.

Thinking about tonight’s event, a determined smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
