After Switching Bodies, the Mad Overbearing CEO Takes Over the Entertainment Industry-Chapter 204 - 201: The Wealthy Family’s Young Lady is Such a Drama Queen

Chapter 204: Chapter 201: The Wealthy Family’s Young Lady is Such a Drama Queen

"Trying to be funny?!"

Shen Zhiyi has such a well-known master and genuine skills and knowledge, and although Ji Tian’s family is wealthy, they are not the type to fear the powerful, protected by law as they are, having committed no crime, they can’t be intimidated by the Ji family.

He wore a ’you think I believe that?’ expression, his usual straightforward male manner, "Stop joking. You just need to sit quietly by the side and not disturb the team leader’s experiment, which is very important to him as he has dedicated nearly two years of effort to it."

"I can sit quietly, but Shen Zhiyi must stay with me or else whatever she does, I’ll do too."

The man widened his eyes in disbelief. This was the epitome of a spoiled rich girl’s antics, taking unreasonable demands to the extreme.

Truly living in wealth without knowing the hardships of others’ work, completely oblivious to the fact that her actions could put the research on hold.

"Team leader! Look at her..."

"Dongzi, enough, you don’t get to comment on my sister, I’ll take care of her myself."

The man known as Dongzi’s expression turned sour, he had guessed it; wealthy daughters were always troublesome.

Shen Zhiyi bit her lip, her eyes full of grievance as she looked at Ji Tian, and finally said, "Brother Qilin, perhaps... I should leave. If my staying here upsets Student Ji, then I’ll go."

Dongzi’s expression changed, wanting to hold onto Shen Zhiyi to say something, but his female colleague beside him pulled him back and shook her head, signaling not to interfere.

Ji Qilin’s lips curled into a small smile, "Whatever."

Still, Dongzi couldn’t help but say, "If Zhiyi leaves, what about your sister?"

"I’ll take her with me."

"..."

He accused him of double standards, and on Ji Qilin, the term ’double standards’ was absolutely fitting.

Shen Zhiyi, after all, was someone he had agreed to bring in and promised her master to mentor her well, yet because of his unreasonable sister, Shen Zhiyi was being pushed aside.

With Shen Zhiyi, it was whatever, but with Ji Tian, she must remain with him.

Especially knowing that Shen Zhiyi had limitless potential, it was quite clear he didn’t regard her talent highly.

Dongzi naturally didn’t want to lose someone as promising as Shen Zhiyi, so he offered her a way out, "Alright, alright, Sweet Sister Ji has also come to learn. Don’t talk about leaving; you can help her out when the team leader is busy. Besides, the experiment is already half done, leaving now would require us to find a replacement, which is just too much trouble."

Shen Zhiyi’s face heated up. She glanced at Ji Qilin and realized he was not even looking at her, and begrudgingly gave a slight nod, "Um."

With that, the issue seemed resolved. Shen Zhiyi could stay, and Ji Tian could stay too, all because Ji Qilin doted incredibly on his sister, making principles non-existent before his sibling.

Perhaps the tension was palpable, and someone changed the topic, "Zhiyi, your study system has reached ten thousand points, amazing! Those one hundred thousand yuan must be in the bag, right?"

Shen Zhiyi smiled slightly, "Just got lucky. The questions I got were ones I knew. The place in ’Smartest Brain’ competition is secondary; I really need that one hundred thousand yuan for my mom’s treatment."

"Once the anti-cancer agent research is completed, your mom’s illness can be best addressed, no rush."

Ji Tian’s eyes flickered, Shen Zhiyi’s study software reached ten thousand points?

Bullshit!

Before she went to bed last night, she had checked; Shen was at five thousand points without movement, and she was leading at eight thousand, with the Milk God remaining still below her – she was firmly in the lead!

How could someone have answered more than four thousand questions overnight?

And with a one hundred percent correctness rate?

Unless a deity had descended.

Only fourteen hours were left before the deadline, she’d see just what was going on once back from the research institute! They must be playing dirty under her watch.

Ji Qilin put on gloves and turned to Ji Tian, "If you want to learn, come beside me; I’ll explain it to you step by step."

Ji Tian stood by his side obediently, his voice soft and soothing like a gentle breeze.

Others clicked their tongues quietly. This was a kind of treatment only available to family. When Shen Zhiyi had been brought along by him, he hadn’t shown a hand-holding eagerness to teach her; it had all been her observing from the side without any direct imparting from Ji Qilin.

Shen Zhiyi watched as the spot beside Ji Qilin, which should have been hers, was taken. She silently moved to another side and handled the reagents in her hands while thinking, "008, you saw that, didn’t you? Wherever Ji Tian appears, everything I’ve previously worked hard to establish will be disturbed. Can’t you make her log off early? How else can I complete my mission?"

[Host, I am just a system, not yet powerful enough to arbitrarily end others’ lives. Each person’s fate is set, and only when her life comes to an end will she naturally die.]

Shen Zhiyi was taken aback by 008’s statement, unable to hold back her retort: "Aren’t you a fragment of Heavenly Dao? Why not have this world’s Heavenly Dao eliminate her? After all, she’s just cannon fodder in this world, her absence wouldn’t make any real impact!"

[Not allowed!]008 answered decisively: [Characters cannot go offline prematurely, but you can wait until Ji Tian goes to prison at 22 and dies at 25.]

Shen Zhiyi: "..."

Are you alright?

She still had to wait for Ji Tian to log off.

If Ji Tian were to die at 25, wouldn’t that mean she had to wait nearly eight more years?

Silenced by the absurdity, she took a moment to recover before saying, "I just want to return to my world sooner. Besides, how can you guarantee that in these eight years, everything will still go according to what Heavenly Dao has scripted?"

The voice from 008 was stiff and mechanical, "Since you took it upon yourself to change the plot, this world has already shattered and distorted, possibly on the brink of destruction and beyond repair."

Why was she being blamed now? She only resorted to desperate measures to complete her mission quickly. Who knew the people here could be crazier than the next? She remembered Mo Jiu, and she was still somewhat afraid after the cliff-jumping incident; she ended up meeting the injured Qin Wantang below.

She had been attacked on her way from Central Continent to the Capital City and was involved in a car accident.

With 008’s help, she fell without getting hurt but instead found a stroke of luck because of it.

If she couldn’t get close to Qin Jiangsheng, she’d get close to his biological mother—there wasn’t much difference, after all.

After saving Qin Wantang with her medical skills, the latter treated her as kindly as her own daughter and wanted to officially recognize her as a goddaughter. Shen Zhiyi hadn’t agreed yet and deferred, saying she needed to ask her real mother.

During this time, she would stay in the Capital City a bit longer, waiting for her response.

With the capability of Qin Wantang, taking her and her mother to live in Central Continent was easy.

Despite Qin Wantang’s competence, she still hadn’t dared to reveal the existence of Mo Jiu, fearing retaliation.

Her mind was quite chaotic now; she wanted to agree to Qin Wantang but didn’t want to leave the Capital City yet. Bai Tingyu was still here, and ironically, having arrived in this world so confident she could conquer the characters within, by the end they had all drifted away except Bai Tingyu, who still stood by her side.

Whether it was the attraction of being the main character’s glow or something else, it didn’t matter to her anymore.

Lost in thought, she didn’t notice the liquid in the test tube spill onto her fingertip, causing her to inhale sharply from the pain. The medicine was not secured and spilled onto the floor.

Dongzi, grabbing her hand, rinsed it under a tap, "Don’t move. You should be more careful. This medicine is highly corrosive; it’s good that it didn’t get on you much."

Seeing Ji Qilin still earnestly teaching Ji Tian and their commotion not drawing even a glance from him, Dongzi couldn’t help but complain, "Ah, back when the team leader was by your side, you wouldn’t even have to deal with such burdensome tasks, let alone risk getting burned. It hasn’t been long since he left, and look, something has already happened. Thankfully, it’s not a large area affected; otherwise, it would be such a pity to scar such beautiful hands."

At this moment, Shen Zhiyi started to feel that Dongzi’s concern was excessive. Although her charm towards the opposite sex was eighty percent, attracting this type of attention somehow felt beyond her acceptance...

Thus, she awkwardly withdrew her hand, "Brother Dongzi, don’t blame Brother Qilin. It was my fault for not being careful. Also, thanks for your concern. I’m feeling much better now."

"Nah." Dongzi waved it off, grabbed some ointment, and personally applied it to her fingertips, "You’re still young, and I look after you like a little sister."

This gentle touch made her skin crawl; she could almost feel Dongzi’s hands brushing over the back of hers.

It felt as if her hand had touched filth, and she wanted to wash it again.

"Brother Dongzi, I’ll apply it myself."

Dongzi stepped back, looking dissatisfied, "I’ll do it. You’re injured; it’s inconvenient for you."

Shen Zhiyi’s scalp tingled, forcing a smile.

Suddenly, the lab door opened. Quan Ke walked in and, after scanning the room, his gaze settled on Shen Zhiyi, frowning slightly, "Shen Zhiyi, the deputy dean of Kyoto People’s Hospital is looking for you."

Deputy dean?

Shen Zhiyi was confused.

She hadn’t formally completed her apprenticeship, and in the medical field, besides her master, the only other person she knew was Ji Qilin.

Why would the deputy dean of Kyoto People’s Hospital be looking for her?

Hearing Quan Ke’s voice, Ji Qilin too paused his action, turning to face her and speaking unusually gently, "Are you talking about Dean Zhang, the heart specialist?"

Quan Ke carelessly nodded, "Yeah, it’s him. He’s still outside."

After a moment of thought, Ji Qilin slowly said, "Please invite him in."

"Okay." Quan Ke nodded and began to walk out, but halfway through, a thought struck her—why was she listening to Ji Qilin’s commands?

Responding now, would retreating be too embarrassing?

After a three-second internal debate, she shut her eyes, "Never mind, I’ll pretend I didn’t know."

Dean Zhang arrived alone and upon seeing Shen Zhiyi, his eyes brightened, recognizing the similarity to the figure he saw that day, almost confirming his suspicions.

He first greeted Ji Qilin and the others, then extended the badge from Imperial City Academy towards her, "Shen, did you lose this badge?"

The badges of Imperial City Academy were identical for everyone, and some students, to avoid confusion, had penned their names on the backside. Shen Zhiyi hadn’t labeled hers, and this particular badge also bore no name.

Coincidentally, she had lost her badge on the day she jumped off the cliff. After receiving it, inspecting the back and finding no name, she asked in confusion, "How did you end up with my badge?"
