After Switching Bodies, the Mad Overbearing CEO Takes Over the Entertainment Industry-Chapter 247 - 242: Sowing Discord

Ji Tian did some calculations: sixty euros was equal to 475 RMB.

Could 475 RMB let nine people spend five days in country F and manage the final mountain adventure? Impossible!

Yet the show was so ruthless. They confiscated all the money and cards they brought, leaving only a phone with a zero balance for easy contact.

Yu Chuang continued, "Now the first task, find a hotel and have a big meal before noon. Complete the task and the crew will reward you with ten euros; fail, and you lose ten euros."

Ji Tian: "..."

Jian Chuyi was dumbfounded, "That’s so cruel! Why did I even come?"

"For the abuse," Ji Tian responded coolly.

This episode’s crew seemed even more ruthless. Despite not lacking sponsors — now including sponsors like hoe, toothpaste, shampoo, milk, and herbal tea — the show was not short of money, but they were stingily giving them just this much.

Jian Chuyi clung tightly to the corner of Ji Tian’s clothes. Among the few people present, aside from Ji Tian, Qin Jiangsheng, and Gong Dongxi, she didn’t recognize anyone.

"How is this money supposed to be enough?" Gong Dongxi was the first to voice out her complaint with all the temper of a spoiled young mistress, "This isn’t even more than what my dog spends on food in a month."

Yu Chuang smiled, "The rules of the game are just like this. Here, everyone is equal. Alright, let me introduce the members for this episode."

"Ji Tian, from the Ji Family of Capital City; Qin Jiangsheng, from the Bai Family of Capital City; Gong Dongxi, new member, from the Gong Family of Capital City; Jian Chuyi, new member, her family is a well-known seafood tycoon in Capital City; Tang Yu, new member, Ji Tian’s cousin, from the Tang Family of Central Continent."

Hearing this, everyone was surprised and took a glance at him. The Tang Family of Central Continent? Which Tang? After all, there are so many with the Tang surname, but since Yu Chuang didn’t specify, they also dared not ask.

Following another man, a young woman heard the words "Tang Family of Central Continent" and a flicker of disdain crossed her eyes.

Ji Tian caught that disdain, pondering thoughtfully.

Rather than saying she disdained Tang Yu, it was more like she disdained everyone present, obviously coming from no small background.

Yu Chuang continued the introductions, "This is Feng Xu, a player from the domestic WQ team; the other two are Captain Li Meng from the Central Continent JC team, their team is Hua Country’s first to reach the world championships, and the second young mistress from the Central Continent Hang Family, Hang Mengting, who came to experience the program with Li Meng."

[Holy shit? The Hang Family from Central Continent? Sweet Sister’s cousin from the Tang Family of Central Continent, aren’t they those two families?]

[Awesome, truly all wealthy families, no commoners this time. Did Director Yan change his approach?]

[Is there a possibility that the average high school student from last season didn’t perform impressively and, moreover, didn’t bring as much topic as some wealthy families? To be honest, I’ve already forgotten about the other three people who came with Shen Zhiyi from the first season.]

[Are you not curious about how Director Yan managed to invite people from Central Continent? I heard the Hang Family is Central Continent’s first elite family, with the Tang Family just a bit inferior.]

Online discussions were bustling.

Seeing that the timing was nearly right, Yu Chuang said, "This time I’m your guide. You can ask me anything. If everyone’s acquainted enough, let’s start the task. Please complete it before noon."

Ji Tian shifted her gaze from Li Meng and Hang Mengting. This explained why she hadn’t spoken a single word since appearing, but her expression and body language displayed her extraordinary arrogance, coming from Central Continent’s premier family, a bit more haughty than others?

Ji Tian didn’t want to pay her any more attention. The immediate problem was finding a place to stay and eating a good meal; she really wanted those ten euros. Everyone was in one team, making them somewhat teammates, though she wondered if there might be any team-splitting maneuvers later.

She directed her gaze towards Yu Chuang, who seemed to understand what she was about to say and stepped back apologetically, "I’m just a guide, I won’t interfere with your discussion of strategies."

Plainly speaking, he was just a guide, offering his help where he could, but he couldn’t really help with the important stuff—the main thing was just to mooch food and drink...

"Oh, I was just wondering, there’s no rule that we have to stay in a hotel, right?"

Yu Chuang: "That’s not necessary, as long as there’s a place to stay."

Jian Chuyi immediately made a statement, "Tiantian, you’re so amazing, we’ll depend on you for the accommodation."

Ji Tian gave her a sidelong smile, and before she could speak, Feng Xu chimed in with a laugh, "I also trust Captain Ji’s capability, so I’ll tag along with you. After all, turning the YXC team into a squad strong enough to rival Central Continent’s ’chicken-eating’ battle team is something I deeply admire and I look forward to seeing your team compete in the world championships."

The smile on Ji Tian’s face faded a bit. She noticed Li Meng’s gaze on her; in front of them, Li Meng was the captain of a team that had made it to the world championships, and the condition for qualifying was always to come first.

The next competition was at the end of December, and by then YXC might go up against the Central Continent team.

She glanced at Feng Xu and saw a challenge in his eyes—he’d deliberately outed her identity to make Li Meng aware.

Despite Li Meng not having any thoughts about his statement, the internet had already exploded.

[Damn? Ji Tian is the coach of YXC?!]

[Attached image—is it this one? Wasn’t she also rumored to be Captain Yi’s girlfriend? Captain Yi’s fans have dug around for days and couldn’t figure out who she really was!]

[Badass, I said it her first show was an astounding gaming maneuver, it’d be a shame not to enter the gaming scene and boom, she became a coach, talk about infuriating, right?]

[Case solved! The YXC coach is now famous, but what’s the deal with Feng Xu, causing trouble in front of Li Meng? Is he sowing discord?]

Ji Tian, smiling, said, "I’ll take that as a good omen, my team will definitely win the world championship."

Feng Xu, surprised, asked, "Do you think the other teams can’t win the world championship?"

"Tsk, you really have a way of making words unpleasant. Why hint that other teams are inferior in a roundabout way? It’s up to them to win, but I believe I can do it, why lump everyone together? Whisper to me, do you secretly dislike those teams?"

Feng Xu’s mouth fell open slightly, his eyes widened, "What nonsense are you spouting? When did I ever call them trash?"

"Just now," Ji Tian said innocently, looking at Qin Jiangsheng, "Jiangjiang, didn’t he?"

Qin Jiangsheng, unable to hold back a smirk, said, "Yeah, he did."

"You tell me, big cousin?"

Tang Yu shook his head and sighed, "Little sister, we don’t make friends with backstabbers. It was supposed to be a nice trip, and he just had to stir trouble." freewёbnoνel.com

"The next time you want to criticize someone, just say it. Why the passive-aggressiveness? And, how is your brother doing lately? After the last internet explosion, is he feeling any better?"

Feng Xu: "..."

You really should drop dead!

Without mincing words, she had struck a nerve and his face showed changes.

Hang Mengting frowned and glanced dismissively at Ji Tian, "Can we hurry up? My legs are getting sore from standing."
