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

Chapter 188: Chapter 188: They Gave Too Much

Qin Jiangsheng paused for a moment, typing on his keyboard.

Q Emperor: “Who spread rumors that I died?”

Prince You Yu: “…Didn’t you freaking jump into the sea? That’s what’s going around, and you haven’t come out to respond. I almost thought we were going to have to get a new boss.”

Q Emperor: “Then just pretend I’m dead.”

Prince You Yu: “…”

So, is he dead or not?

Prince You Yu: “Are you hiding something shady?! You’ve got something going on!!”

It was a few seconds before Qin Jiangsheng replied.

Q Emperor: “Idiot, come to Hua Country, help me catch a hacker.”

Prince You Yu: “Ahhh, boss is asking to meet me, family, I’m off to see if the boss is handsome.”

Gun-carrying Dinosaur: “Dumbass.”

Red Rose: “I’ll Venmo you five bucks, send me a handsome pic of our boss, I want to fall asleep looking at him tonight.”

Prince You Yu: “A hundred at least, or no deal!”

Red Rose: “emmm, it’s not like I must see it.”

Qin Jiangsheng glanced at it and switched back to his usual WeChat. This group of people hardly chatted idly or met up; this time it was an order from Mo Jiu to find this person.

Ji Tian hadn’t replied to him again, probably having fallen asleep.

He shut down the computer, stood up, and went to the balcony. The weather was growing colder, and the evening breeze made his face feel somewhat chilly.

Qin Wantang was in Capital City. Did she truly have no regrets about what she had done before?

…

The next day, the sky was overcast and a cold wind was blowing. Ji Tian didn’t even bother with a hoodie, opting instead for a warm knitted sweater.

She was going to the Lingxiao Arena to watch the YXC competition.

While riding in the car and scrolling through her phone, she saw that the preheating for the second episode of “True Boss” had started trending on Weibo.

The guests for the first episode, apart from Shen Zhiyi and Yu Chuang, were all new faces, not yet officially announced.

And under the only Weibo post from Ji Tian, there were over three hundred thousand comments.

Because Ji Tian was still studying, Imperial City Academy protected the privacy of its students very well, they would never allow paparazzi to sneak photos of students’ lives—it was too disruptive to their studies.

Homeless fans flooded Ji Tian’s Weibo comments.

“Sweet Sister!!! It’s the second episode, are you still going on? Without you, I don’t even want to watch!”

“Seconded, seconded, Sweet Sister, please, go on the show, wuwuwu, you’re my spiritual sustenance!”

“Stop kidding. Members of wealthy families should stay at home in peace and let people who need the money make it. Really shameless, trying to make money everywhere.”

“What do you mean by that upstairs? What money has my Sweet Sister ever made? She turns off donations during her live streams, she’s just chatting, and it’s not even pleasing. If you don’t like watching, then scram, no one begged you.”

This is how Ji Tian watched the comment section argue back and forth, browsing for a couple of minutes before she chose the most popular comment asking whether she would join the second episode and replied:

Ji TianV: I won’t go to the second episode, don’t miss it.

After posting the message, it only took a few minutes before her comments were filled with wails.

“Why no!! You did so well.”

“If Sweet Sister won’t go, then neither will I. What about live streaming? Pick a day, please. I can keep watch every day～”

“Can’t see the trash talk anymore, sigh, my heart is broken, so I can only become a fan of Zhiyi. Everyone can check out baby Zhiyi’s live stream where she’s starting to teach us the most basic first aid knowledge.”

Shen Zhiyi truly was incredible. In just over a month, she’d gained three million fans, now with a popularity comparable to that of a newly debuted young entertainment starlet, albeit of a different kind. Apart from shooting this reality show, she spent the rest of her time spreading good medical knowledge to the public.

But all this had nothing to do with her. That damn reality show was exhausting. The location for the second season was said to be a snowy mountain in F country.

Just hearing about the location didn’t exactly sound like a walk in the park.

The next second, the ringtone of her phone rang out, Ji Tian looked at the incoming call from Qiao Luhua, and her eyelids twitched violently.

A dozen seconds later, she answered the call: “Mom? What’s up?”

“Good baby, how’s studying at home? Are your brothers there? Are they at home?” Qiao Luhua asked directly, with the sound of car horns beeping in the background.

Ji Tian responded lightly, “Studying’s okay… my brothers are busy with work and not at home. Mom, where are you?”

Hearing this question, Qiao Luhua’s tone became even more excited, “Wow, I’m in F country. I haven’t seen you for so long, I miss you terribly. So I signed you up for the second season of the reality show. We’ll be able to meet in F country soon, baby. Are you excited?”

Ji Tian’s eyes widened in shock: “Mom!!!!”

Her voice rose, startling Qiao Luhua into silence.

“How can you secretly sign me up again?”

After a long pause, Qiao Luhua’s voice came through sounding aggrieved, “Who made them offer so much… I couldn’t resist.”

“…”

Okay, truly her own mother, falling for money just like she did.

“You…” Ji Tian wanted to say something more, but Qiao Luhua interrupted her.

“Good baby, Mom knows you don’t like staying at school. Look, I signed you up for the second season of the reality show, so you can have all the fun you want, right? Moreover, your dad and I are still on vacation in F country. Having your parents with you in a foreign land, you won’t be scared, right, sweetie?”

Ji Tian: “…”

She went straight to guilt-tripping her.

“The contract is signed, and the penalty for breaking it is ten times the amount. Why don’t you treat it as a trip with your mom and dad?”

“…”

“The show doesn’t start for another half a month. I’ll be waiting for you here.”

After saying that, she hung up the phone quickly.

On the trending searches, because of her single statement of not joining the show, it had been bumped up to the hot searches.

People were lamenting below, as if they couldn’t go on without her.

Uncle Zhou was driving, and through the rearview mirror, he sneakily glanced at her, grinning, “Young Miss, this is a good thing. You see, you study so hard usually, the lord and lady are really outdoing themselves to make you happy.”

Ji Tian smiled coldly without expression, “Uncle, you probably don’t know, but my mom sent me to the show because I didn’t like studying. She wanted me to reform there. Now that my grades have improved, she wants me to be happy again…”

Ah, this…

Uncle Zhou laughed awkwardly, “Isn’t that good? Look how hard you study; going abroad to relax isn’t a bad idea, is it?”

Are you sure it’s to relax and not to suffer?

Ji Tian looked out of the car window with a troubled expression. It seemed she couldn’t shake off this damned show, could she?

The only thing that cheered her up was that she was still first in the study app. If she maintained this position until the ranking was fixed at midnight tomorrow, she would win a prize of one hundred thousand yuan. Her score had already climbed to nine thousand, far exceeding the second place by two thousand points.

Unless something unexpected happened, that money was as good as hers.

The car stopped outside Lingxiao Arena. Ji Tian, with her mask and hat on, walked in. Zhan Yi was specifically waiting for her outside.

As one of Hua Country’s top-ranked teams, YXC’s appearance instantly attracted the attention of the usual reporters, and cameras quickly captured photos of Ji Tian and Zhan Yi as they walked into the arena together.
