After Switching Bodies, the Mad Overbearing CEO Takes Over the Entertainment Industry-Chapter 192 - 191 Research Institute

She had never heard that her brother had started an entertainment company, and even signed Wen Jiangxue.

Seeing Ji Tian remain silent, Wen Jiangxue was not at all nervous and smiled even more brilliantly, "I have to go now, I hope to see you again next time."

After watching her figure walk away, Ji Tian went online to search and confirmed that Ji Lingyun had indeed acquired an entertainment media company three years ago. However, since he didn’t manage it much, all the well-known artists had left, leaving only Wen Jiangxue and some minor celebrities.

The reason it hadn’t gone bankrupt was that Ji Lingyun kept injecting money to keep the media company afloat.

With things falling apart like this and Wen Jiangxue still not jumping ship, it proved that her love for her boss was real.

Just as the elevator doors were closing, Ji Tian caught a glimpse of the corner of a bag Wen Jiangxue was carrying, from which a small bronze-colored box protruded.

That thing looked familiar...

"King of Competition, I need to ask you something."

Doubtful, she went straight to the King of Competition, but the damn thing refused to show itself, for fear she might ask more questions.

"I’ll count to three, and if you don’t show up, you know what will happen," Ji Tian threatened coldly.

King of Competition: [...]

What’s all this about? It was the first time it had seen a host threaten the system, but it wasn’t scared! After all, Ji Tian couldn’t catch it.

"Hah, okay, it seems you don’t want the custom jasmine-scented shower gel either. There are a whole hundred bottles, such a pity. I’ll just give them to someone else then."

King of Competition: [!!!]

[Host, I’m here, I just heard you, what’s your question?]

Ji Tian saw the pathetic state it was in; its obsession with shower gel was beyond her imagination.

"I want to ask, was my brother at the yacht auction that day?"

King of Competition thought it was something important. As long as the question was not about a task, it was easy to answer.

It scratched its head: [Yeah, he was there, sitting somewhat in front of where you were.]

Ji Tian: "..."

This garbage system really wouldn’t tell her anything if she didn’t ask.

Fortunately, she wore a mask, and because there were too many people, she hadn’t seen anyone who looked like her brother, so she just assumed they hadn’t run into each other on the large yacht.

[Host, are you going to level up your skills? It’s been several days.]

That day, because Ji Tian’s question was too private, it played dead rather than answer.

This time, Ji Tian directly upgraded her Luck Value by six squares, maxing out the luck buff at fifteen, with no room to increase further.

Believe it or not, she felt her luck had been quite good in recent times.

Four squares remained.

She allocated three squares to Wisdom Value and one square to Strength Value.

Now her panel values were: [Luck Value 15, Wisdom Value 12, Beauty Value 7, Strength Value 5, Life Value 25.]

Therefore, she must use her Stone to Gold skill, which would then increase her Laziness Power. It was a great skill; if she went to a stone gambling event, she would only need to touch the stones and feel them to know if there was anything good inside.

The red numbers jumped to the 58th floor, and Ji Tian, well-acquainted with the way, found Ji Lingyun’s office. He was poring over documents, and his normally meticulous suit had a slight wrinkle.

She unconsciously associated this with Wen Jiangxue and then immediately banished this absurd thought from her mind. Her big brother was just a workaholic without desires and passions, having no girlfriend at 27. He had said he would inform the family if he were dating, so how could he be hiding a mistress? He was not that kind of person.

His long-standing image as a workaholic was deeply ingrained in Ji Tian’s heart. She denied it emotionally, but logically, she felt these two definitely had something going on!

"Cough, big brother."

Hearing Ji Tian’s voice, Ji Lingyun looked up from his work, raising his eyebrows in surprise, "What brings you here?"

"I came here in my free time to look around, and to ask if there’s a suitable place in Capital City to start a company."

Ji Lingyun: "... You really want to start your own business? Tiantian, this isn’t a joke; a billion is not a small amount of money."

Her ambition was good, but she needed to be realistic about her capabilities. As a girl with no social experience, she could lose everything, so he said sternly, "Wait until you graduate from college before starting a business."

By the time she graduated, the opportunity would have gone cold.

If she didn’t want to appear too unconventional, she wouldn’t even want to finish high school, let alone start college again... Just the thought gave her a headache.

She shook her head, resolute, "I’ve made up my mind. If I lose out, please sponsor me with another ten billion. Instead of regretting in the future, why not invest in your sister’s future now? Brother, what do you think?"

Now that she was using the respectful "you", she was more or less sure she’d lose money; she had her brother to back her up anyway.

Ji Lingyun’s forehead throbbed heavily. Among the four siblings, the second one loved medicine, the third one loved playing around, but it was the youngest sister who was interested in business.

He wasn’t too fond of the business either, but someone had to take over the family wealth, so it had to be him making the money.

He couldn’t help but let out a light laugh, "We really were born in the wrong order. If I were you, I’d spend these years enjoying myself, not worrying about making money early."

"Keep that billion safe for now. If you lose it, you’ll have nothing, and I won’t be there to fill the void. Don’t even think about it." He spoke harshly, needing to make Ji Tian understand that even though they had money, she couldn’t just play around with it; it didn’t just come from thin air. When Ji Tian got older, he would arrange a job for her.

Ji Tian had guessed that Ji Lingyun wouldn’t let her start a business; she just wanted to feel out the situation, so she sighed regretfully, "Alright then."

"By the way, brother, I just ran into Sister Jiangxue on the first floor."

Ji Lingyun’s pen made a heavy mark on the paper, "You met Wen Jiangxue?"

Ji Tian nodded in confusion. Was there any need to be that agitated?

"Did she say anything to you?" Ji Lingyun slowly regained his composure, his voice stiff.

Geez. Ji Tian settled onto the sofa, snacking, and mumbled, "What could she say? She told me she’s an artist under your company, here to report to you about her work. It’s really strange, why would an artist have to come to the head office? Could it be because she’s the only presentable artist in your media company?"

Ji Lingyun narrowed his eyes slightly. Wen Jiangxue did that on purpose; she always went straight from the parking lot to his private elevator with a card swipe, unseen by anyone but his secretary Tian, no one knew of Wen Jiangxue’s affiliation.

He knew what Wen Jiangxue wanted from him, aiming for the position of Housewife of Ji family, craving wealth and power, but having no interest in him personally. That’s why whenever she repeatedly asked him about marriage, he always told her not to be delusional.

Yet she went and showed herself to Ji Tian. Ji Lingyun glanced at the black ink line from his pen, was she so afraid that his family didn’t know she existed?

He made a nonchalant "hmm" sound, then said, "Next time you see her, don’t bother with her. Is there anything else? If not, go home, I have work."

"..."

His mood switched faster than the weather; she had no idea what bad thing he had thought of to make him so angry suddenly.

After leaving the company, Ji Tian went to find her second brother, Ji Qilin.

He had been living in the medical research institute for several days without returning home.

Ji Tian decided to stay with Ji Qilin at his research institute for a few days, modestly seeking some knowledge in medicine – the old man also said that ancient medicine could be integrated with Western medicine.

With such a great teacher as her brother, why not take advantage?

The research institute required an access card for entry, and just as Ji Tian was about to call, a deep female voice called out, "Ji Tian?"

Ji Tian paused mid-motion and turned around in surprise, "Sister Quan Ke?"

Dressed in a white work uniform with her hair tied up high, Quan Ke had an efficient aura about her.

Seeing that Ji Tian seemed to be wanting to go in, she asked, "Going to see your second brother? No need to call him; I’ll take you in instead."

Ji Tian’s eyes lit up, "Really?"

Quan Ke smiled, "Let’s go. It’s almost dinner time, and the food at our research institute is decent. Do you want to try it?"

With Quan Ke’s guidance, Ji Tian entered quickly.

The research institute was vast, all in one large building.

Quan Ke led her to where Ji Qilin worked, and Shen Zhiyi was also there, both of them deeply engrossed in an experiment.
