After Switching Bodies, the Mad Overbearing CEO Takes Over the Entertainment Industry-Chapter 208 - 205 Waiting to Receive a Lawyer’s Letter
Chapter 208: Chapter 205 Waiting to Receive a Lawyer’s Letter
Jian Chuyi: "..."
She hadn’t known before, but now she did, yet she didn’t believe it because Ji Tian had mentioned she wasn’t interested in this before. That was until she opened the study app, Jian Chuyi logged into her account, and her face turned thunderous. Was Ji Tian quietly competing with her?
The person in question coughed lightly, innocently explaining, "I was just passing time and brushed through it casually, I really didn’t work hard."
Jian Chuyi: "..."
How was she to deal with even more annoyance?!
She was fuming, puffing up like a blowfish.
But some people are simply dazzlingly brilliant. Once they start putting in serious effort, others can only watch their dust. Suddenly, she began to miss the old times when Ji Tian was at the bottom of the class with her. How did she study, after all?!
Could it be that the variety show was actually a façade for ’Transformers’, pretending to carry out various tasks while actually studying intensely?
As Jian Chuyi thought about her own grades... a new idea came to her.
After the two returned to the classroom, news gradually spread about Ji Tian topping the leader board of the study app.
Shen Zhiyi, too, woke up to a changed world. What seemed like a certain victory turned rancid at the last moment. She asked 008 to help her check who was behind it, but it could only detect that the system was hacked; who did it, it couldn’t tell.
It just goes to show that even in this world, there are significant restrictions on systems. It couldn’t recklessly assist Shen Zhiyi; some things she had to investigate on her own.
About her sudden fall in rankings, a slew of doubts followed, questioning if she had cheated, how her points soared to ten thousand, and then plummeted.
Facing her classmates’ queries, she could only respond with an awkward smile, suggesting there was a glitch in the study app’s system. Otherwise, why would her points fluctuate so much?
Everyone thought it over and felt it made sense. As for why it targeted only Shen Zhiyi, they speculated that even students with good grades have their lucky breaks.
Shen Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief but then noticed a gaze on her. Turning her head, she saw Bai Tingyu silently watching her.
Her hand hanging by her side slightly clenched, she asked with pressed lips and a cold voice, "You don’t believe me?"
It was then that Bai Tingyu turned his head, "I do."
"Then why are you staring at me like that?"
He chuckled lightly, his mood unreadable, "It just seems that things are too bizarre, and you all have too many secrets."
She instantly understood from that "all" that he was referring to Ji Tian.
From her rightful first place to Ji Tian overtaking her, how could Ji Tian rack up eight thousand points? That would mean she was as intelligent as Shen Zhiyi! She couldn’t accept this fact. In the original world of the book, she was unrivaled academically. How could she be surpassed!
Especially now that they were both in the same research institute, looking up to see each other often, the endless compliments from institute colleagues left her face burning hot. Suddenly, she no longer wanted to seek Ji Qilin; it was somewhat embarrassing.
Bai Tingyu watched her woolgather, her expression changing splendidly, though he couldn’t tell what she was thinking.
He turned his head, sighed softly, and stopped paying attention to her.
Online, there were still skeptics about Ji Tian securing the top spot on the study app, as this ranking was equivalent to proving her as the Academic God.
Ji TianV directly threw a screenshot of her registration for the competition Brainiest on Weibo, with the caption:
Ji TianV: "Hehe, made it to the first place, rewarding myself with a trip to the Brainiest show crew to have some fun."
Netizens: [...]
Is this really just for fun, and not to stir up trouble?
Ji Qilin even sent her a message on WeChat: [Congratulations, little sister.]
With an extra 500,000.
Ji Lingyun also got the news, he had nothing fancy to offer, so he simply used his Weibo account to comment under her post: [I planted 10,000 coconut trees at Moon Bay, now that land belongs to you.]
Ji TianV: Thanks, big bro~
[Holy crap! A big spender, eh? Moon Bay is developing land worth two hundred million in the market, and he just gives it away?]
[You must have forgotten Mr. Ji had promised a reward of ten billion if Ji Tian ranked in the top five hundred... I just don’t understand life in a wealthy family.]
[Share 10,000 with me, not kidding.]
[So jealous, I wish I had a brother like that, rich and handsome and dotes on his sister! Sweetie, need a sister-in-law? I’ll dote on you!]
[Ultimate Brain is recording in three days, I’ll definitely watch it on time~]
Even the Ultimate Brain crew hadn’t expected that their somewhat modest show would heat up so much due to Ji Tian and others. Everyone questioned whether this was for real under their posts.
They directly shared the same registration link they had sent to Ji Tian, which was identical to the one Ji Tian had screenshot.
Ultimate BrainV: Welcome @Ji Tian to join our "Academic God", looking forward to your fantastic performance~
The officials stepping in confirmed that she was indeed participating in the show.
The entire internet exploded.
[Damn, she was ranked 2500 in a mock exam in September, and in just two months not only did she make the top hundred, but she’s also going on the Ultimate Brain show? Who would believe this without any manipulation!]
[I think so too, but their family is big, we can guess but can’t really do anything, it’s too tricky, smells like fraud.]
[Haha, just watch for entertainment, anyone who believes it is a fool, I’ll doubt everything she posts, totally blacklisted.]
[Stealing Zhuyi’s position should be damned, stealing Zhuyi’s position should be damned! Stealing Zhuyi’s position should be damned!!!]
[Hehe, I always thought she was arrogant and lacked manners when I watched her show; they say a person reflects their family, and I think that’s true.]
Ji Tian originally ignored these comments while she was sleeping in class, unaware that a swarm of trolls had begun a smear campaign against her. Jian Chuyi had been keeping an eye on the situation and promptly woke Ji Tian: "Tiantian, look, you’ve been slandered!"
Ji Tian woke up groggily, finding herself inexplicably the target of cyberbullying.
Seeing the increasingly indecent comments, she squinted and quickly messaged Ji Lingyun to not to withdraw the heat or control the comments, allowing the trolls to verbally assault her; she would handle it herself.
Seeing that she had a plan, Ji Lingyun truly stepped back and didn’t interfere.
Ji Tian quickly took screenshots, with some people fearing backlash deleting their comments repeatedly until the afternoon when Ji Tian finally organized these screenshots and threw them online.
Ji TianV: You spread rumors that I bought my academic achievements, that I used influence to make the school step aside for me at the expense of other students’ futures, forcibly snapping up Zhuyi’s top rank and her rightful position, and even more outrageously target my family, saying since you’ve never seen my parents in public, I was born by parents but raised without them, and I lack manners in speech.
I used to just glance over such comments because justice inherently dwells in people’s hearts. My academic achievement is the result of my own effort, everyone competes for positions fairly, and without evidence, those claiming I usurped them are simply spreading rumors! I never let anyone be a stepping stone for my "academic" achievements, I thought you had eyes to see, but some of you just delight in attacking others for fun, hoping she would regress due to your ignorant and malicious stupid remarks.
Next comes my response, to those of you who spread these rumors and hurled insults, I will personally ensure you face legal consequences, none of you anonymous IPs, privacy accounts, or dummy accounts will get away, await your legal notice!
