After Switching Bodies, the Mad Overbearing CEO Takes Over the Entertainment Industry-Chapter 245 - 240: The Loved One is Right Beside You
Chapter 245: Chapter 240: The Loved One is Right Beside You
Until Shen Zhuyi’s Weibo and short video accounts were all cancelled, people finally believed that she really did such disgusting things. Even her fans felt deceived and disappointed.
They really liked this poor but tenacious young girl. She had good grades, was not bad-looking, kind-hearted, taught children in impoverished mountainous areas, and provided free medical consultations to elderly people in backward villages.
They felt a mix of emotions and could only think that one misstep led to another.
Shen Zhuyi’s gaze turned towards this ancient and splendid city, the so-called Central Continent, where the streets were allegedly paved with gold. It was supposed to be a city everyone yearned for, but Shen Zhuyi couldn’t feel happy at all.
She felt like a dog driven out of its home. She changed to a smaller Weibo account, constantly watching the negative comments about her online. She couldn’t even continue her studies; without leaving the Capital City, she had nowhere to stay.
Ji Family’s suppression, the research institute led by Ji Qilin that expelled her, erased all her contributions over two months of research on the anti-cancer agent because of this incident.
Li Shizhong gave her some money, telling her to lay low for a while. Only today did she find out that Ji Tian was actually the apprentice of Li Hongjin, a founder of the Ancient Medical World, whose prestige was thousands of times higher than Li Shizhong’s, and more importantly, his seniority in the Li Family was unmatched.
If Li Hongjin came back, would she have to address Ji Tian as "Grandma"?
This humiliation was worse than death for her. It wasn’t until she saw the live broadcast of today’s show that she could no longer suppress the rage in her heart!
The next second, a message popped up.
"Zhuyi, when you get to Central Continent, godmom will take care of you," Qin Wantang said to Shen Zhuyi, who was sitting in the passenger seat.
This time, thanks to Qin Wantang, she was rescued from the Capital City.
She turned her head and smiled at her, "Thank you, godmom."
Then feeling somewhat awkward, she turned away. The message was from Mo Jiu!
He had even brazenly signed it. Whether to reveal Mo Jiu’s true identity to Qin Wantang or keep it hidden was a long struggle for her, but ultimately, she couldn’t overcome the hatred in her heart and chose to reply to Mo Jiu...
...
Kyoto Airport
The production team had revealed even before the show aired that Ji Tian would be a guest, and this might be her last recording.
At first, netizens didn’t believe it. Ji Tian had firmly stated on Weibo that she wouldn’t join the second season; how could she possibly appear? They suspected it was just a gimmick by the production team, because with Shen Zhuyi’s new popularity gone, they needed to bring out Ji Tian, who was also quite popular in the last episode, to gain viewership.
But when they saw Ji Tian waiting for the plane at the airport, sprawled across an airport seat fast asleep in leaked photos, they believed it...
Today was just a leak; the recording would start after they landed in Country F.
But what thrilled the fans was the sight of Ji Tian asleep, and a young man in black beside her who covered her with his thick coat while she was asleep.
[Aaaahhhhh, sisters, I told you something was off with them since the last episode; this second young master of the Bai Family is really something, I’m totally shipping them!]
[Make them officially start dating now, I’m not kidding!]
[Aren’t they both under eighteen? Can this, this, this... work?]
[The guy next door, Young Master Gong, is already engaged, so what’s the big deal? If necessary, they can just get engaged too, we fans aren’t picky~]
"Boo hoo hoo, I really feel so secure now, I don’t know who leaked that Young Master Qin went there just for Tiantian, turns out he didn’t even sign up until he found out Tiantian had registered. I’m crying, he’s so sincere."
"But he’s a love child... don’t get lightheaded, stay awake, that’s a stain in a wealthy family."
...
Due to Ji Tian’s sudden participation, the once cooling program heated up again, and this time, Yan Ming didn’t invite any celebrities, thoroughly creating a reality show for ordinary teenagers. Yu Chuang, as a regular guest, transformed into these kids’ big brother, responsible for their safety.
Tang Yu had never participated in a reality show, he was purely curious to have some fun.
He just couldn’t help noticing his boss staying unfailingly close to his cousin and remembered the instructions of his elder and second cousins...
He silently turned away, pretending not to see, believing they would also understand how great the camaraderie between the two was.
It wasn’t until they were about to check the tickets that Qin Jiangsheng gently nudged her awake with a soft voice, "Tiantian, it’s time to board. You can sleep on the plane."
Ji Tian opened her eyes, confused. She hadn’t slept much at all last night because she was busy hammering Shen Zhiyi with various evidence, resulting in her being zonked out the next day.
She slowly sat up, yawning, "Ahh, let’s go."
Tang Yu, carrying a small suitcase, ran and yelled, "Cousin, wait for me."
Qin Jiangsheng lagged a few steps behind and, right before checking the tickets, sent a message to Qu Rong, "Qu Rong, I’ve paid for your sister’s medical expenses, and she has been moved abroad for treatment. I just need you to do one thing for me."
Qu Rong replied quickly, "Young Master Qin? Have you lost your mind? My sister’s medical expenses are so high, you already have a tough time in the Bai family, and yet you’ve given all that money to my sister; how can I ever repay you?"
He had just received the news too, his sister had always thought that it was he who had earned five hundred thousand for her treatment. She excitedly told him how fresh the air in M country was and that she could have the surgery after one more week of recuperation.
They were working for Mo Jiu, and although it looked glamorous on the surface, they barely received any commissions. In three years, he had only managed to save up two hundred thousand while Qin Jiangsheng had helped him with more than five hundred thousand at once.
It was an internal conflict that Qin Jiangsheng had resolved for him.
"Qu Rong, I don’t want you to die for me, nor do I want you to get hurt because your only relative would be distressed. Leave the organization with me, it’s the wisest choice, I am about to board the plane, I have a favor to ask you, to search for evidence of Mo Jiu’s crimes, I will find a way to bring him down."
This was no different from knocking an egg against a rock; Mo Jiu’s influence was huge, and they were nothing under such a behemoth.
Qu Rong struggled internally for a moment, but his desire to leave wavered. He sent a voice message, "Young Master Qin, your kindness to a brother, I will remember for a lifetime, you are my second relative in this world other than my sister. Sharing life and death and sticking together through hardship is no joke to me. Even if it costs my life, I agree to what you asked, I also want to proudly give flowers to the one I love."
Qin Jiangsheng listened through his Bluetooth headset, a small smile curving upon his lips.
"Boss, hurry up, or we’ll miss the flight."
Tang Yu waved at him while Ji Tian looked over, signaling him to hurry up.
For the first time in many years, his heart felt truly at peace.
In life, there are a few brothers worth trusting with one’s life and death; the person he loved was right by his side.
...
International time, seven in the morning.
Ji Tian and her group reached F country.
