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

Chapter 138: Chapter 138: You’re Getting Bolder, Daring to Skip Class?

Qin Jiangsheng didn’t know where all his money had gone; he was always broke, and even getting into a bar was by mooching off others.

At this time, Qu Rong received a call from Qin Jiangsheng and walked to the quiet restroom. “What’s up, young master? Did you just get out of school? Shall I come to pick you up and take you home?”

He hadn’t dared to let Qin Jiangsheng go to the bar to have fun, fearing that Ji Tian would find out and report him for leading Qin Jiangsheng astray. It took him great effort to find this job.

“It’s not that. I need you to find me a piece of clothing.”

“Huh? What kind?”

Qin Jiangsheng recalled carefully, feeling a rare sense of regret. Would Ji Tian get angry if she knew he had discarded her thoughtful gift?

He had never cared to remember important things, and that piece of clothing was such a thing. He slowly said, “White, with a bear embroidery on the short sleeve.”

Qu Rong: “…Can you be a bit more specific?”

“For men.”

Qu Rong: “…What brand, man? There are so many bear-embroidered short sleeves, how am I supposed to know which one you’re talking about?”

Qin Jiangsheng pursed his lips, his tone growing colder. “I don’t know, and if you can’t even handle this little thing, you might as well be dead.”

Qu Rong: “…”

Why is this guy mad?

“Tsck, fine, I’ll help you look. Why the sudden interest in buying clothes? Autumn’s almost over; who wears short sleeves now?”

“None of your business.”

“Sure, you’re the boss.” Qu Rong couldn’t help but laugh. “Alright, gotta hang up, I’m hitting on girls. I have a feeling I’ll definitely find you a sister-in-law this time!”

Qu Rong was five years older than Qin Jiangsheng and always called him master to his face, but in his heart, he treated him like a little brother.

Qin Jiangsheng had been hearing this for three years, and not once had it come true. “Good luck with that.”

After a pause, he continued, “When, when you pursue girls, do you give them anything?”

“Give something? The girls give things to me. They send me all kinds of flowers, so cliché that it’s nauseating. If they expect me to give them something in return, not in this life!” Qu Rong’s view on love was simple: never spend a penny if he could mooch.

Qin Jiangsheng hung up and turned to gaze at the brightly blooming hibiscuses in the flower bed. What kind of flowers did Ji Tian like?

…

At one in the afternoon.

Inside the Wilderness Cafe.

He Chenxi was sitting in a corner, fully geared up. She had chosen a cafe far from her residential neighborhood to avoid paparazzi.

When Ji Tian arrived, she sat directly opposite her. “How’s the information gathering going?”

He Chenxi then took off her mask. Her dark circles were heavy, and she looked exhausted. “After leaving with the agent that day, they originally intended to take me to the company and hold me under house arrest, making me confess all along the way that I was solely responsible for everything, including the video being a fake. They said if I did as told, the company wouldn’t pursue the contractual penalty of 600,000 yuan, but my career would be over. That’s why I cleverly ran away halfway, and now they can’t find me.”

“They’re lying to you. As soon as you admit to these things, you’ll be sued the next second. They’ll definitely demand you to pay the 600,000 yuan and drive you to desperation. I’ve seen too much of this.”

He Chenxi was stunned for a moment.

Assuming Ji Tian had been raised in a wealthy family, she knew more than they did by virtue of hearsay. She forced a smile, “I have nothing now, even the money to sue is borrowed from my family. I don’t want to drag them down; in the end, I still have to rely on them.”

As she spoke, her tears fell once again.

Why did she ever believe Xue Anyu’s lies and think he would definitely marry her? Why did she spend all her savings on buying a house for him? She did not regret their love affair; throughout the five tough years, they were genuinely devoted to each other.

Ji Tian took a sip of the orange juice brought by the waiter and spoke slowly, “Expose your contract online, and the pressure will shift to Yingdu Media; you’ll have some respite. As for the house, it’s considered pre-marital property now, and you even put Xue Anyu’s name on it. Technically, it’ll be difficult to get it back. But his actions could qualify as ‘marriage fraud.’ To obtain property from the woman under the pretense of marriage, followed by infidelity which would be akin to absconding with the money, is illegal. Sort out the evidence, draft a lawsuit and submit it to the court. As for Yingdu Media’s overbearing contract…”

Ji Tian gave a cold laugh, “You can apply for labor arbitration, cancel the contract, as the economic benefits are unbalanced, which violates the principle of fairness and reasonableness. This falls under a civil dispute, which will take a long time to settle. If Yingdu Media seeks a private settlement with you and you agree, then all your efforts will be in vain.”

Ji Tian was also implicitly telling He Chenxi that this lawsuit was a war without smoke, which might consume a lot of energy and money.

He Chenxi sighed, “I’ve come this far, if I don’t bravely stand up for myself, where will my future lead? Thank you, Sweet Sister, if it weren’t for your support and encouragement, I might… have already given up.”

“How is Wu Qin’er?”

“There’s no longer a danger to her life. Because of Liu Huixing, Yingdu Media effectively sidelined her, with no resources or income and wasting the best years of her life at the company. She couldn’t bear it and attempted suicide by slashing her wrists. Liu Huixing is using the incident to throw dirt on me. I’ve already told Qin’er that on the day of the trial, I’ll have her testify to prove who the real bullies are, Liu Huixing, and Yingdu Media behind her.”

“Did Wu Qin’er agree?”

He Chenxi nodded, “She agreed. With her testimony, we can directly crush Liu Huixing!”

“Have you found a lawyer?” Ji Tian asked again.

He Chenxi shook her head, “Not yet.”

“I’ll introduce you to the Ji Family’s ace lawyer, and you can arrange to discuss it further with him,” offered Ji Tian, doing all she could to help.

Gratefully, He Chenxi stood up and bowed to Ji Tian, her voice choking, “Thank you.”

She couldn’t back down, she couldn’t let down Ji Tian’s kindness.

The next second, Ji Tian’s phone rang. Glancing at the caller ID, her face scrunched up, but eventually, she answered, “Hello…”

“Give you ten minutes, get to my company immediately.”

Ji Tian: “…”

Ji Lingyun had hung up right after speaking.

“Sister Chenxi, I have to go, my big brother is looking for me. I’ll send you the lawyer’s contact via WeChat.”

From there to the Ji Group, ten minutes wasn’t enough. It took her half an hour to arrive.

This damned high school identity trapped her in school and interfered with her making big money.

Ultimately, she resigned herself to enter.

The receptionist recognized her immediately and came forward respectfully, “Miss Ji, the president is waiting for you in his office.”

“I know, thank you.”

“No, not at all,” the receptionist replied, surprised and flattered, watching her walk away.

Ji Tian’s face was gloomy, her eyebrows tightly knit, yet even in this state, she managed to look adorable.

The excited receptionist told her colleague, “I just met Miss Ji, she’s so cute and polite, so down-to-earth, much more than the always serious president.”

Her colleague was skeptical, “How could that be… Shouldn’t she have an aloof demeanor?”

The receptionist rolled her eyes, “Don’t believe it then.”

Ji Tian had visited once before, and everyone at the company recognized her now, greeting her as she passed. Ji Tian’s face was nearly sore from smiling.

The company had so many employees. By the time she arrived at the office, Ji Lingyun was still in a video conference, speaking fluent English. He only hung up once he saw Ji Tian enter and said they would continue later.

“You’re getting bolder, daring to skip class?” Ji Lingyun sat with his legs crossed, dressed in a suit and shiny shoes, his black hair impeccably combed, his features coldly handsome, his voice stern and indifferent.

Ji Tian stood in the middle of the office, met Ji Lingyun’s hawk-like eyes, and reached up to scratch her head, admitting honestly, “I didn’t skip class, I took leave!”

Ji Lingyun: “…”

Which guardian signed her leave permission?!
