After Switching Bodies, the Mad Overbearing CEO Takes Over the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 113: Chapter 113: Sincerity is Always the Ultimate Move

This team grouping…

Ji Tian is slightly problematic…

But luckily, Yu Chuang and He Chenxi from her original team are still with her, joined by Gong Yu. He’s smart, which is good; it all depends on what tomorrow’s task will be.

On the other hand, Quan Jingyou felt their team was a chaotic scene. He felt utterly disheartened and wanted to be with his Sister Tian so badly.

He looked up and saw Ji Tian approaching, his eyes lit up, “Sister Tian, are you here to take me with you?”

Ji Tian gave a small cough and whispered softly, “Can’t take you away, the teams are set, but you can still be useful. Help me find out what tomorrow’s task is.”

Quan Jingyou: “…”

So he’s supposed to be an undercover?

He immediately said with loud loyalty, “Leave it to me!”

Ji Tian patted his shoulder solemnly, “Good brother!”

Yu Chuang: “…It’s so loud, as if everyone else is deaf.”

Quan Jingyou: “…”

He turned his head and saw Bai Tingyu staring at him expressionlessly.

That was… rather sudden.

“I won’t betray Brother Yu, you can give up on that idea.”

Ji Tian: “…”

Quan Jingyou ran off quickly, disappearing in an instant.

At five in the afternoon, a burly man called Ji Tian and the others to join a feast, also inviting Shen Zhiyi and others to thank her for providing free consultations for the elderly in the afternoon. Surprisingly, a seventeen-year-old girl, proficient in both Chinese and Western medicine, had written many health-preserving prescriptions and gave them to the elderly for free.

[Zhiyi is truly kind-hearted and exceptionally capable. I think Bai Tingyu doesn’t even deserve her, haha, she deserves someone even more amazing.]

[Not to mention anything else, just the fact that she treated the elderly for free has made me a fan of hers. Sincerity is always a killer skill.]

[People who have been through the rain will hold an umbrella for others, hoping her mother stays healthy and lives a long life, as in this world she only has her mother as her family.]

If she weren’t safeguarded by her heroine’s halo, Ji Tian thought Shen Zhiyi could be a friend, but if it ever threatened her family, she would have to avoid and alter the Ji Family’s storyline, and see what consequences that might bring.

The funeral in the village was lively, and according to local customs, there were performances in the evening, including Peking opera, acrobatics, and folk singing, with a wide variety making the liveliness last until nine o’clock.

The livestream had long since ended, and since teams had been formed, those not on the same team couldn’t stay together. Ji Tian moved directly into the room where Qin Jiangsheng was sleeping, and Feng Juanjuan’s original room was given to He Chenxi.

Her luggage was still in the thatched hut. She told everyone to go back to the house first and wait for her as she went to retrieve her luggage.

It was halfway there that Ji Tian remembered she had left her sports shoes in the thatched hut, so she turned back.

While walking back, she heard someone softly sobbing. She stopped and saw He Chenxi sitting in the grass, devoid of her usual composure, her face streaked with tears illuminated by the faint light of her phone screen.

Only when she heard footsteps did she look up to see Ji Tian silently watching her. Hastily drying her tears and turning off her phone, she nonchalantly explained, “I… I was just feeling a bit homesick, that’s all.”

Ji Tian walked up to her and extended a hand. He Chenxi used the support to stand up, and seeing that Ji Tian did not speak, she breathed a sigh of relief.

As they walked side by side, Ji Tian finally sighed, “Sister Chenxi, is the life of a star always this exhausting? Brother Yu Chuang is the same; it feels like you all live behind a mask.”

Tears welled up in He Chenxi’s eyes again. She sniffed and struggled to keep her voice steady, “There’s no choice, really no choice. I… I don’t want to either, but life doesn’t allow me that freedom. If only I were born into a wealthy family… like you…”

Ji Tian couldn’t help but burst into laughter, “Sister Chenxi, it’s odd that you think being born into a wealthy family means happiness. Do you think it’s all about not worrying about food or clothes and having plenty of servants, just lying around happily all your life?”

He Chenxi was momentarily stunned. Under the weak streetlight in the small village, she turned her head to look at Ji Tian’s smiling face and muttered, “Isn’t it? At least, you wouldn’t have to run around for a living.”

“Hmm.” Ji Tian smiled with a gleam in her eyes, “Well, by that logic, my elder brother wouldn’t need to work at the company. To make a bit more money for the company, he worked overtime for a whole year without going home. I actually wish he would earn less and rest more. After all, in the end, we return to dust, not taking anything with us from birth, nor carrying anything away in death.”

“Oh, and then there’s my second brother, a workaholic too, mostly staying in his laboratory and hardly ever coming home. My elder brother is a work fanatic, and he is obsessed with medicine, wherever there is medical research, he is there. I hardly see either of them all year round.”

“And there’s my third brother, who has disliked me since we were young, found me annoying, never included me in games, nor stayed home often. My parents are getting older and just want to travel the world and see more sights, so for me, having the whole family together, neatly seated for a few meals is enough.”

This was the first time Ji Tian had talked about her family in front of someone else.

He Chenxi had thought that life in a wealthy family meant getting whatever you wanted at the snap of your fingers, but she hadn’t expected Ji Tian’s elder brothers to work so desperately.

She didn’t know what to say.

Ji Tian looked up at the sky and continued, “Moreover, a wealthy family has many rules. At school, there’s a girl, Gong Yu’s own younger sister, who sees me as her sworn enemy simply because our parents used to compare us when we were younger. Isn’t it unfair? I did nothing and yet attracted a rabid dog that won’t let go.”

“Pfft.” He Chenxi couldn’t help but laugh out loud, the first time she had seen Ji Tian ridicule someone else, describing the Second Miss Gong as a mad dog.

Ji Tian smiled, showing her teeth, “Feel any better? Let me tell you more, being from a wealthy family is not that great, full of troublesome matters.”

“What with mastering the Four Arts, speaking five foreign languages as the bare minimum, and having a foreign PhD as a basic educational requirement. If your qualifications are lower, you are constantly compared, as it affects your prospects in marriage. So personal superiority is a must.”

He Chenxi had only heard about the high-profile events involving wealthy families in the news, and had grown up in an ordinary family herself, with dreams of becoming a star merely to earn more money for her parents.

She now understood why, apart from Fu Wanxue, rarely anyone from wealthy families entered the entertainment industry.

“So all of you are drilled with rules from childhood?”

Ji Tian blinked, thoughtfully, “Essentially, children are started on their enlightenment at one year old, continuously on a planned learning track. Your entire life is arranged, dictating which schools you attend at what age, including what skills you must learn, without getting a say in it.”
