After Switching Bodies, the Mad Overbearing CEO Takes Over the Entertainment Industry-Chapter 251 - 246 Are You a Couple?
Chapter 251: Chapter 246 Are You a Couple?
"What’s with you? Space out much? Don’t make me say you’ve got a poker face, okay?" Tiantian waved her hand in front of Qin Jiangsheng, and only then did he snap out of it.
Had he just had a hallucination?
He rubbed his temples and looked at her irritably, "It’s nothing. I was just stunned by your nonsense."
Tiantian feigned surprise, "Mr. High and Mighty, the unflappable Young Master Qin gets angry because of me?"
Qin Jiangsheng was amused by her, "Cut the crap, and stay away from stinky men."
Tiantian immediately stepped back a few paces, "Sure thing, darling."
Qin Jiangsheng: "..."
Just then, the car arrived, and everyone got in.
Tiantian’s interaction with Qin Jiangsheng was driving everyone crazy.
[Have my delusions become reality? o.0?]
[I’ve already fallen into the ’sweet life together’ ship, and no one can pull me out!]
[Is this scripted? Is it? Is it?!!!]
[Keep the sweetness coming; I’ve been feeling a bit sugar-deprived lately.]
The vehicle was a small bus with ten seats. Tang Yu sat in the passenger seat, speaking in broken French with the driver, which miraculously, the driver actually understood and began chatting with him.
Jian Chuyi looked at Tang Yu’s back. It was her first time seeing Tiantian’s cousin, and how to put it, his features were cute, tender, and baby-faced, but his temperament was the complete opposite of his looks—not genteel but very outgoing and sunny.
"Tiantian, your cousin speaks French too?"
Tiantian gazed at the scenery outside the window and without even looking at him, she replied, "A bit of many languages, more or less."
Jian Chuyi’s eyes widened; her cousin was that amazing?
But Tiantian thought to herself, isn’t it normal for a hacker to be fluent in multiple languages?
When she had mastered five languages, she found that some hackers knew up to eight.
Her memory was her strong suit; by self-learning, she managed twelve languages, which actually came in handy. If she hadn’t been killed off by thesis writing, she would have gone to interview for an international diplomat position and prepared to pursue a career abroad.
When they arrived at their destination, they all got off the bus to find a place similar to a food street, with Japanese food, French restaurants, and even Chinese eateries—one after another, almost all packed with patrons.
Outside each restaurant was a sign, both in English and French, indicating the lowest price for their dishes and any ongoing promotions.
But as they walked and looked, their hearts sank—the lowest price listed was twenty euros per dish.
Right now, they were penniless and even in debt to the production crew.
Seeing everyone’s silence, Feng Xu suggested, "How about we ask the crew to lend us some more money? It’s almost noon, and I’m so hungry."
Gong Dongxi glanced at him skeptically, "You’re going to borrow? Getting thirty euros would be impressive at this point, and all we can afford is one dish... How are nine people supposed to eat?"
Yu Chuang immediately distanced himself with a smile, "You don’t have to include me; I’ll just tag along with the crew."
Gong Dongxi: "..."
Tang Yu looked around helplessly, "If there was some way I could take some orders, we wouldn’t be so poor we can’t afford to eat."
"Like lockpicking?" Tiantian added.
Tang Yu: "...I wouldn’t mind that kind of work."
"Pfft." Jian Chuyi couldn’t help laughing, "Cousin Tang Yu, are you a locksmith?"
Tang Yu immediately turned his deadly glare towards her, causing Jian Chuyi to swallow her laughter back down, looking somewhat wronged as she hid behind Tiantian.
He gnashed his teeth, "No!"
"Oh," Jian Chuyi responded pitifully, if it’s not then it’s not, no need to be so fierce about it.
"But my ancestors were tomb raiders, which isn’t too far off from being a lock picker."
Jian Chuyi: "..."
Who asked you.
Everyone continued walking; Hang Mengting kept complaining about her sore legs, insisting that Li Meng carry her. Li Meng reluctantly agreed, and she glared fiercely at Ji Tian, wrapping her arms tight around Li Meng’s neck as if to declare her sovereignty to Ji Tian.
Everyone was speechless at this inexplicable behavior.
Except for Feng Xu, he was just envious that Li Meng had latched onto this rich woman. Everyone in the circle knew Li Meng came from a poor family and only by the support of his fangirls, who loved playing PUBG, was he able to make money. His livestreams would have over a hundred thousand live viewers.
Even this show had many girls watching because of the audience he brought with him, and to think he had now snagged Hang Mengting too!
[Damn it, does this woman not have legs? Everyone else can walk, yet she insists on being carried, it’s infuriating!]
[I also feel that ever since Li Meng met this woman, he hasn’t had a single good day! Even during competitions, she would throw a tantrum on the spot, forcing Li Meng to quit the game mid-way. I’ve never seen anyone more pretentious than Hang Mengting, why doesn’t she just drop dead!]
[Stop it, I’m going to vomit, it breaks my heart to see Li Meng with her for even a second. Not long ago she slapped him, and the next second she clings to him wanting to be carried, utterly shameless!]
[Help, I really want to slap her twice, please let me do it, Ji Tian, can you act as my hand!]
By half-past ten, the group was both tired and hungry.
None of them had the energy to check out the nearby restaurants because they couldn’t afford them.
When they passed a Chinese restaurant, everyone stopped; there were many people outside and there was a Chinese advertisement:
Couples’ Tacit Battle:
1. Couples entering the restaurant get a 50% discount on food and drinks.
2. If they choose to participate in a small activity and succeed, the entire meal is free.
The waitress at the entrance saw the large group and asked Ji Tian in fluent Chinese, "Do you have any couples among you? You might consider participating in our newly launched promotion for a discount."
Qin Jiangsheng stepped forward, taking Ji Tian’s hand, and said to the waitress, "We are."
Ji Tian was momentarily stunned, felt the firm grip of Qin Jiangsheng’s hand, and quickly nodded along, "That’s right, we’re a couple."
The waitress didn’t suspect a thing; they were all dressed in couples’ attire, what else could they be if not a couple?
She then glanced at the rest and hesitated, "What about them?"
Ji Tian affirmed without changing her expression, "They are couples too, and they voluntarily participate in your restaurant’s activity."
Everyone: "..."
Coincidentally, Tang Yu was standing next to Jian Chuyi, he pulled her hand and coughed lightly, "This is my girlfriend."
Hang Mengting and Li Meng didn’t even need to say anything; she was eager to announce their relationship to the world, so she also nodded in agreement.
And what could Gong Dongxi do?
She pinched her nose and reluctantly paired up with Feng Xu, just for the sake of this meal, she had paid too much.
The waitress hadn’t expected to welcome four pairs at once and was immediately thrilled to lead them inside: "Our store just opened, and to attract customers, the boss has launched this promotion. You all are quite fortunate; today is the last day."
Because they had to pretend, everyone held hands along the way.
Jian Chuyi quietly glanced at Tang Yu, and while she felt shy, Tang Yu appeared much more casual about it.
She cleared her throat, whispered, "I’ve found that we’ve been really lucky all the way here without any setbacks."
Tang Yu looked at her and smiled, "I think so too, following Tiantian is always the right choice."
