After Switching Bodies, the Mad Overbearing CEO Takes Over the Entertainment Industry-Chapter 86 - I prefer wealthy people without owners.
Chapter 86: Chapter 86 I prefer wealthy people without owners.
“Let’s give a round of applause! Let the screaming chicken scream for you too.”
“…”
“Pfft.”
Quan Jingyou couldn’t help but laugh out loud, meeting Ji Tian’s deadly gaze, he coughed lightly, “Sister Tian, it’s not bad, right? Isn’t there a certificate? It’s enough to prove how excellent you were in this task, and there’s something about a priority in answering questions…”
He then felt something was off, “Director, what is this priority in answering questions?”
Yan Ming raised an eyebrow, “You didn’t think there would be no learning task today, did you? What we’ve prepared for you is a fun buzzer quiz that everyone can participate in.”
...
Second place was awarded a white porcelain bowl to Shen Zhiyi’s Team.
Third place, a children’s towel.
These three items combined, worth no more than twenty, were enough to prove just how poor the production team was.
Ji Tian was extremely frustrated.
“Today, we will carry out the final task, the idiomatic fun quiz. Let me briefly explain the rules. The production team will select ten idioms, and you will need to understand the meanings of these idioms. This time, we have invited five villagers from Yue Ming Town, and your task is to explain the idioms to these elderly people in the simplest and most understandable way possible. If they are convinced by your answer, they will vote for you. Eventually, the person with the most votes gets fifty yuan, the second gets twenty yuan, and the third gets ten yuan. The team with the least points must choose to eliminate one member of their own.”
“Did everyone get that?”
Upon hearing Yan Ming’s final words, everyone fell silent.
So it wasn’t that they could stay simply because they had money to get by, there were endless tasks until the end of the program.
And with only ten questions, everyone instantly felt a heavy burden.
Plus, with the elimination card in Ji Tian’s hands, they needed to eliminate two people within two days, and there were unknown tasks waiting for them tomorrow.
Thinking about it all made everyone feel tremendous pressure.
The five elderly people, ranging in ages from their sixties to seventies, two men and three women, were arranged by the production team to sit behind a long table. Each had ten small red flowers on their table, which they could give to anyone who made them understand the idioms.
The five teams were sitting opposite the jury, each table had a buzzer; whoever pressed the buzzer first would have the priority to answer, but Ji Tian had the privilege of first priority in answering questions if she chose to use it, making the first person who pressed the buzzer’s rights invalid.
In the middle was a prompt board, Yan Ming shouted through a megaphone, “Is everyone ready? Let’s begin then. The first phrase, ‘impoverished and undeveloped.'”
“Ding!”
The first to buzz was Bai Tingyu, who signaled Shen Zhiyi with his eyes to explain.
The idiom was quite simple, and she explained with a light smile, “Impoverished and undeveloped, it means someone who has a poor foundation, weak fundamentals.”
The first old man was a bit hard of hearing, he circled his hand around his ear, “What? Poor foundation, thin pancake?”
The second old man kept a stern face, “Don’t mumble, the young lady clearly said, poor handiwork basis, thin shoe soles.”
The third old woman frowned, “I think your face looks like a shoe sole, she said it very clearly, starting late, hence a thin family foundation.”
The fourth old woman spoke in a dialect, “… quite understanding.”
The fifth old woman, “Can you explain it more simply? We’re undereducated and can’t understand.”
Shen Zhiyi, “…”
Wasn’t her explanation clear enough?
How could they go from ‘thin foundation’ to ‘thin pancake’ and ‘thin shoe soles’?
Which word did she say that was related to these things?
“Ding, time’s up, Yu Chuan’s Team, please speak.”
Yu Chuan glanced at the answer given by Feng Juanjuan. Learning from Shen Zhiyi’s experience, he explained more straightforwardly, “It’s used to describe being backward and underdeveloped. In the past, our country was impoverished and undeveloped, which is why we now need to work even harder to develop and become prosperous.”
The five old people talked among themselves for a while, except for the one who was hard of hearing and the one who insisted it was about ‘thin shoe soles,’ the other three voted.
With that, Yu Chuan’s Team successfully secured three points, giving them some security.
He Chenxi was anxious because he wasn’t as quick to buzz as others; Fu Wanxue had the same problem as He Chenxi, and she kept hitting the buzzer in frustration.
Meanwhile, in Ji Tian’s Team, except for Weinan who was active, Ji Tian and Wen Jiangxue were either daydreaming or looking down at their phones.
Ji Tian glanced at her, “If you keep this up, be careful, or netizens might label you as a diva in the production team.”
It was only then that Wen Jiangxue looked up, an indifferent smile hanging on her lips, “Not only do I like to act like a diva, but I also enjoy playing mahjong. Besides, entering the entertainment industry is just a side job for me. My main job is spending money. As long as the Golden Master funds me enough to splurge, I won’t be polite.”
Ji Tian, “…”
“Which planet’s huge sucker Golden Master is this, that you can introduce me to a few? No other ideas, it’s just that I’m tight on cash and looking to find some big bosses for coverage.”
Wen Jiangxue took Ji Tian’s words lightly; if she was tight on money, it was unlikely for Ji Tian to be tight as well—who didn’t know how wealthy her Ji Family was.
She smiled coquettishly, her flirtatious manner dazzling Ji Tian. That Golden Master had really sharp eyes, bagging himself an earth-shattering beauty.
She flicked her freshly done manicure, her tone languid, “How about I introduce my Golden Master to you? He probably wouldn’t mind.”
Ji Tian, “…I mind.”
She awkwardly chuckled, “A gentleman doesn’t snatch what others enjoy, you keep your Golden Master. I prefer rich people who aren’t taken.”
Wen Jiangxue burst out laughing, “You short on cash? I’m the one who’s really short on cash.” Saying this, she sighed deeply, “If this continues, I might have to strike too.”
All Ji Tian wanted to say was that she really was out of money!
All her money was locked up in that bank.
Being young, her family satisfied her materialistic needs but never gave her much cash to spend.
The last show, the tens of thousands she earned went directly into her mother’s card.
Money once in Qiao Luhua’s pocket never came back out again—essentially, it was gone.

Anyway, she was quite distressed and needed to figure out a way to earn and save money. In worst-case scenarios, it might even serve as her personal bailout fee.
At this moment, the game had progressed to the fourth idiom.
So far, Yu Chuan’s team gained three points from the first idiom, Shen Zhiyi’s team secured three points from the second, and Gong Yu’s team took four points from the third.
The three old women all voted, seeing Gong Yu’s charming and clean smile at the elderly, Ji Tian felt there were probably some undercurrents to these votes; he must have used his good looks strategically!
Noticing Ji Tian’s gaze, Gong Yu looked softly at her.
Ji Tian hastily shifted her eyes, damn it!
With Gong Yu’s role as the fourth male lead in the book, only being the last one conquered by the heroine, this clingy male character seemed a bit off, smiling so sweetly at her.
The fourth idiom, Heavenly.
Shen Zhiyi’s team once again earned the right to speak.
