After Switching Bodies, the Mad Overbearing CEO Takes Over the Entertainment Industry-Chapter 207 - 204: How did you know I ranked first in the software studies?
Chapter 207: Chapter 204: How did you know I ranked first in the software studies?
At midnight, Tiantian fought off sleepiness and watched Shen Zhiyi’s points drop straight to fifth place before she could rest easy and go to sleep.
Because the rankings were already set, the system had sent her an email with an attached link to the "Ultimate Brain" contest. All she had to do was click to register.
Most of the competitors were teenagers, with a few graduate and postgraduate students participating.
Originally, Tiantian didn’t want to join because it was too much hassle. Now, as Niuhulu Ji Tian, enlightened by the pointers from the King of Competition, she decisively threw a powerful punch.
The next day, Monday, it was time to head back to school.
She had stayed up late the night before, and she felt somewhat sluggish in the morning.
These days, Ji Qilin had been staying at home, so when she was leaving for school, she ran into him having breakfast in the dining room, with Ji Weinan there too.
Usually, he would go to school ahead of her, but this time, unexpectedly, he waited for her.
After finishing his milk elegantly and wiping his mouth, Ji Qilin asked, "Do you want me to accompany you to the interview this afternoon?"
Munching on her bread, Tiantian shook her head and swallowed before saying, "No need, I can go check it out myself."
He nodded, "Okay, just be careful."
"Where are you guys going? Can I come?" Ji Weinan looked at them confusedly, somewhat lost in their conversation.
Sipping her milk, Tiantian licked the corner of her mouth and squinted contentedly, "Sure, Shen Zhiyi will be there. You can go and cheer her on."
Ji Weinan instantly felt awkward and uncomfortably turned his head, "Why do you keep bringing her up... I’ve already deleted and stopped searching for her. You go, I won’t."
Ji Qilin glanced at him and said nothing more, just grabbed his clothes and told him, "Take good care of your sister at school, don’t make her angry."
Ji Weinan: "..."
Was his fierce sister really the one who needed his protection?
So, he agreed, "Okay, I got it."
Ji Qilin headed to the research institute, while Tiantian and Ji Weinan rode in the same car, Uncle Zhou happily watched the two of them, amused by the rarity. The two siblings hadn’t spent time together in years, and this time, the young master took the initiative to join his elder sister.
It was enough that they could see them getting along.
In the car, neither of them spoke.
Tiantian was busy catching up on sleep, while Ji Weinan was scrolling through his phone, head down.
Even though he no longer followed Shen Zhiyi’s updates, his phone still pushed notifications, whether from Weibo or the school forum.
Now, discussions were ongoing about her recovery from ten thousand to five thousand points, with some suspecting her of cheating while others said it was a system bug.
After all, Shen Zhiyi was just an ordinary student, unlike a wealthy family member like Tiantian who could manipulate data. So the theories varied, but undoubtedly, Shen Zhiyi had dropped from first, with others climbing up and pushing her and Bai Tingyu down. Now, the focus was on who this mysterious "Super Egg Yolk" was.
Upon arriving at school, Tiantian yawned and got out of the car.
Quan Jingyou’s car also arrived, and seeing Tiantian, he scuttled over, "Sister Tian, the team captain sent me to ask when you’ll be free to visit the club."
"Can’t he just message me himself?"
"Uh, well..." Quan Jingyou rubbed his hair, "Not sure, maybe he’s too busy."
"In a few days. I’ll go during the competition."
"Okay."
He looked up and saw a luxury car slowly approaching the school gate. Waving his hand, he called out, "Yu, over here."
After Gong Yu got out of the car, a black-clad bodyguard also descended from the passenger side and said a few words to him.
He nodded expressionlessly. After the luxury car left, instead of walking over to Quan Jingyou, he stayed at a distance and slightly nodded as a greeting.
Quan Jingyou, puzzled, scratched his head, "Weird, what’s up with Yu? Why is he so indifferent?"
Ji Weinan pursed his lips and muttered, "It must be because of his great-uncle again, training him like a robot. I really admire him, growing up in that kind of environment and still having such a good temperament."
Quan Jingyou nodded empathetically. If Gong Yu’s life could be compared to living in a den of monsters, then their lives as children of wealthy families were like living in heaven.
They didn’t have the pressure to strive hard, and the right of inheritance wasn’t theirs either, but Gong Yu’s situation was different. Gong Zhengli was only his great-uncle, who adopted him because he had no children of his own to groom as the next successor.
Yet, because his original family’s situation was too complicated, it wasn’t even certain whether he would inherit anything, so he worked harder than others.
Ji Tian frowned slightly, hoping that the issue with Gong Dongxi last Saturday hadn’t landed on Gong Yu.
Gong Dongxi had shouted angrily, blaming Gong Yu’s arrival for stealing everything that was supposed to make her happy. Life was like that, always presenting breaking points. That’s why it’s difficult for people to truly empathize with each other; she suffered a great deal, and others had their own untold hardships.
But none of this mattered to her; after all, it was the Gong Family’s domestic affair. As she walked, she contemplated how to reveal that she had secured first place using the learning software, which should now silence anyone questioning her scholar persona.
Isn’t that enough to make those people shut up? freewebnoveℓ.com
Even bribing the school...
Her family, influential as it was, couldn’t bribe the schools owned by several major shareholders.
On her way to the classroom, she ran into Jian Chuyi, who wore a fluffy dress and a beret, her cheeks flushed as she ran towards Ji Tian, "Tiantian."
Ji Tian stopped in her tracks to wait for her, "Chuyi."
Jian Chuyi’s gaze fell on Ji Weinan, who clasped a book in his hand and muttered as though reciting a lesson while Quan Jingyou, watching leisurely, clicked his tongue lightly, "Sister Tian, you’re amazing, even got Ah Nan to start taking his studies seriously. That’s a big change."
He had only been away from e-sports for a short period, and already his good buddy had changed almost beyond recognition.
Ji Tian scoffed, "It has nothing to do with me, he probably just stopped being stupid."
Ji Weinan gave her a speechless look, "You really have a way with words. What do you mean I suddenly stopped being stupid? I’ve always been smart, you know. Don’t be discriminatory. I wanted to study because Ah Jing and Yu had no time to hang out with me. I was bored."
Quan Jingyou covered his mouth, stifling a laugh, "Stop putting on a brave face, okay? I also find it pretty silly. Who brings someone two breakfasts? You even asked Zhuyi if Brother Yu eats sesame seeds. You picked the sesame seeds off the breakfast buns for him. It cracked me up."
Ji Tian was somewhat astonished. Was there such an incident? Forgive her; she genuinely didn’t know.
Ji Weinan, blushing with annoyance, said, "Can you stop talking about it? It’s all in the past! I was an idiot to do that."
Jian Chuyi clicked her tongue in surprise. Ji Weinan had done such things?
"I’m heading back to the classroom first." Perhaps because he couldn’t save face, Ji Weinan swiftly made his exit.
Only then did Jian Chuyi excitedly say, "Tiantian, did you hear? On that learning software, Zhuyi dropped from first to fifth place overnight. Lots of people are accusing her of cheating."
Ji Tian raised an eyebrow, "How do you know I got first place on the learning software?"
Jian Chuyi, "...", didn’t know and wondered why she had blurted that out randomly.
"Never mind, I was talking about Zhuyi, the one whose ID is Nanfeng Zhimo."
"Ah? You also discovered that I am Super Egg Yolk?"
