After Switching Bodies, the Mad Overbearing CEO Takes Over the Entertainment Industry-Chapter 71 - : Starting Trouble

Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Starting Trouble

Yan Ming: “…”

Talking about freeloading as if it’s something noble, that’s something.

Who invites a stranger over for a meal when they’ve cooked too much?

Wen Jiangxue raised her hand and added, “I can vouch, we were really invited. It was to the point where if we didn’t eat, the iron pancake would have smashed our faces. It was terrifying.”

Yan Ming: “…”

Ji Weinan was the first to complain, “So you all ate delicious and spicy food yesterday, and you only left me two steamed buns?”

...

Ji Tian shot him a glance, “If I hadn’t remembered you, there wouldn’t have been any extra buns. You should be grateful there was anything to eat at all and stop being picky.”

Ji Weinan: “…”

But he wanted to eat meat too.

Then he thought about it, and realizing he would still need his sister to treat him later, he shut his mouth.

Since the food was already eaten, Yan Ming couldn’t make them spit it out, so he just kept a stern face, “Don’t let it happen again, or I’ll deduct 20 yuan for every occurrence.”

Ji Tian nodded in agreement, “Okay.”

Then she wouldn’t be caught if she ate quietly!

“Next, I’ll announce the winners of yesterday’s fourth task.”

“Third place, Feng Juanjuan, 20 yuan.”

“Second place, Gong Yu, 50 yuan.”

[Wow, Bai Tingyu didn’t make the list? That’s not scientific!]

[Could it be that he’s competing with Shen Zhiyi for first place? They are in the same team.]

[What’s the big deal, the 100 yuan is theirs anyway, who cares who’s first? Even if they don’t have a house, they can now afford to find a place to sleep.]

Yan Ming cleared his throat, saw the name on the list, incredulously slow, he said, “First place, Ji Tian, 100 yuan.”

Ji Tian, with a beaming smile amidst the gazes of envy, jealously, and hatred, put on airs and made a fist salute, “Thanks for letting me win, thanks for letting me win.”

Danmu: […]

[Am I blind or deaf, a name that shouldn’t have appeared did, someone wake me up.]

[You didn’t hear wrong…Director Yan definitely said Ji Tian…She’s first? Damn, the script is fierce… forcefully turning a slacker into a top student, completely disregarding the academic integrity of the school.]

[I was scared to death when I read the script above then I realized, Princess Ji, what virtues and abilities does she have to surpass Shen Zhiyi and take first place in studies? She’s simply trying to craft an image of a scholar for herself, huh? She really thinks we don’t know about her situation in the Imperial City School beforehand? The higher they lift her now, the harder she’ll fall later, I’m curious to see how many PR moves Ji Family can pull off to smooth this kind of deceit!]

[My heart aches for Zhiyi, a commoner is still bullied by the wealthy family, she can’t even be herself in the program.]

Shen Zhiyi’s eyes slightly widened. Ji Tian?

Why would Ji Tian be the top in academics this time?

Her grades were above average at school, then they plummeted, yet she was suddenly exceptional in the program.

Was she hiding her true abilities?

No, that’s not it.

After realizing she didn’t like Ji Tian, she looked up her information and saw her grades were steady, without major fluctuations. The biggest dip came after she nearly drowned. Could it be that she deliberately did poorly and planned on stunning everyone later?

Shen Zhiyi thought a lot and finally decided that Ji Tian was faking it.

Her eyes flashed, and she wore a smile, saying who could really tell what was true or false in this variety show, and she needed to create an impression that she was in the know, and that this script was meant for her, the brightest star in the show.

But because of Ji Tian, all the popularity and spotlight had been stolen from her.

She felt a strong sense of crisis in her heart and wanted to eliminate Ji Tian as quickly as possible.

Ji Tian had collected some money, totaling 300 yuan now based on her budget, which was enough to coast through the show to the grand finale. However, before she could enjoy her money, Shen Zhiyi stepped forward, “Director, I want to use the mysterious reward I received yesterday.”

[Things are stirring up, they are really starting to create trouble now.]

[I knew Shen Zhiyi wouldn’t just sit around and wait; if it kept going like this, their team would be eliminated.]

[The tension is so thick, is it supposed to be this thrilling right after it started airing? Is this better than a palace drama series?]

Yan Ming smiled, “Are you sure you want to use it?”

Everyone looked at Shen Zhiyi, and she turned her gaze towards Ji Tian with an apologetic smile, “Yes, the power I won yesterday was to exchange, so now, I want to swap my money for Ji Tian’s money. Director, is that okay?”

Wow!

She left no room for others to survive.

Yan Ming became more excited, he smiled, “Of course, you can swap anything with the exchange card, including houses, food, and money.”

He looked at Ji Tian, “Therefore, Shen Zhiyi will now have 300 yuan, while Ji Tian, as the one being swapped with, will get the twenty yuan from her team. Please follow the game rules and proceed with the exchange.”

At this point in the variety show, Ji Tian finally understood Yan Ming’s words that she shouldn’t be too desperate, because Shen Zhiyi held a trump card in her hand, and everything she had would be taken away, benefiting someone else.

Ji Tian stared steadfastly at Shen Zhiyi, her smile unchanged, “Ji Tian, come on, let’s swap.”

She looked down at the 300 yuan in her hands, maybe not desperately hard-earned, but it was indeed hard-earned.

Then she walked forward, placed the money on the wooden table, and Shen Zhiyi placed her twenty with it.

Before she picked up the money, Ji Tian spoke out, “You did this on purpose.”

Shen Zhiyi paused, then apologetically said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about, isn’t this just a game? Don’t take it seriously, Ji Tian, or I will feel sad.”

With the abilities of Shen Zhiyi and Bai Tingyu, it was impossible not to make it to the top three initially; it’s just that they had planned from the start to give up, exchanging the least amount of money from the richest group for an elimination.

Ji Tian took the twenty yuan back to her team.

[It’s over, it’s truly over, Ji Tian was steadily winning, but the plot has reversed now, the card Shen Zhiyi holds is powerful, not exchanging houses but straight up the money.]

[Truly impressive, she really knows how to navigate the game, I said Shen Zhiyi would be the biggest winner of this game.]

[This is too much, taking away the money Ji Tian worked so hard for, swapping twenty for 300… isn’t this bullying?]

[Oh dear, such a big Holy Mother White Lotus, if she can’t handle it, why not just let her leave the show? But it’s coming soon enough, twenty yuan might just be enough for one meal, and she has rent to pay tonight. She was reluctant to hand over her comforter to Zhiyi Group yesterday, and today she’s facing her karma.]

Dai Qin initially felt a bit guilty, but Shen Zhiyi reminded him that this was just a variety show, not to be taken seriously. And coming to this program, who doesn’t want to win? Since Ji Tian wants to be eliminated first, they might as well let her leave as a favor.

Quan Jingyou clicked his tongue, then realized.

If Sister Tian was eliminated, what was he still doing in this show? He immediately became extremely worried, with the restless concern of an elderly father.

Ji Weinan opened his lips slightly, and after the money was exchanged, each group was about to head into town.

Shen Zhiyi didn’t even look at him; her attention was almost entirely on Bai Tingyu.

He licked his dry lips, stammered, “Why… why did she want to swap our money? Didn’t we agree last night to collaborate… aren’t we on the same side?”
