After Switching Bodies, the Mad Overbearing CEO Takes Over the Entertainment Industry-Chapter 255 - 250

Li Meng smiled helplessly, "I can handle both."

When Hang Mengting saw their table filled with exotic delicacies, she felt incredibly aggrieved and protested directly, "I want to eat the dishes on the table too." Her eyes reddened as she looked at Li Meng, "Why can’t you even say a single sweet word to me?!"

Li Meng sighed, "I’m not good with words and can’t say anything pleasant. Mengting, we’re still filming the show. You’ll have to bear with it for now. Once the show is over and we return to Central Continent, it’ll be better."

Yan Ming mentally applauded Li Meng. It was said that the Hang Family was rich and influential. Hang Mengting was pretty much thrust into this situation. Yan Ming had originally invited another wealthy family, not her, but there was nothing he could do when she took the spot.

Despite being unwilling, Hang Mengting had no choice but to heed Li Meng’s words, as long as she wasn’t too angry to lash out physically.

After having lunch, Jian Chuyi felt satisfied.

Leaning back in her chair, she exclaimed, "This is wonderful. Being in a foreign land and still getting to eat the fragrant meals from Hua Country makes this trip truly worthwhile."

Gong Dongxi also felt satisfied.

Even though the meal was somewhat inferior to what she usually had at home, she unexpectedly found it tasty because she was hungry.

The director handed out the task cards and gave them ten euros.

"Congratulations to everyone for completing the task within the given time. These ten euros are your reward, but..." Yan Ming then took the ten euros and put them in his pocket, "You still owe the show twenty euros. With this, you still owe ten euros. Now, for the next task, if you can earn one hundred euros through your personal efforts, the debt of ten euros will be waived, and you must earn tonight’s dinner yourselves."

Ji Tian was not surprised at all. Everything must be achieved through their own efforts.

The hotel car was responsible only for dropping them off and wouldn’t pick them up, so they all walked.

The streets of Country F were lined with skyscrapers, and golden foliage hung from the roadside plane trees. They had just left the gourmet street, and ahead was a broad bridge. The bridge was bustling with live broadcasts, students rushing by with backpacks and earphones, and performers playing violins, guitars, magic acts, human portraits, and even someone playing the Chinese zither. Despite it being winter, the scene was buzzing with excitement.

For the first time, Jian Chuyi felt helpless, "Everything we know is already present on these streets and even done better. What do we do? Who would pay one hundred euros to watch our performance?"

If she were a bystander, she wouldn’t choose to watch their performance either.

Hang Mengting stepped forward, "Let’s each earn on our own, and keep the money we make for ourselves, no pooling."

Tang Yu glanced at her, speechless at Hang Mengting’s proposition. He wondered how the Hang Family had raised her; even if the matriarch of the Hang Family wasn’t her biological mother, there was no need to educate someone to be so foolish.

"Why not just skip dinner with us then?"

Hearing about dinner, Hang Mengting considered it because she wasn’t sure if she could make any money later, but at least with Ji Tian, she knew there’d be food.

She turned around, "Pooling is fine, but let’s divide it evenly among several groups. If there are four groups, each must earn 25 euros. If there’s any extra, we keep it."

Gong Dongxi finally rid herself of Feng Xu, and upon hearing Hang Mengting’s bad idea, her face darkened, "Why should we form teams of two?!"

She refused, "I don’t agree. I want to be in a team with Ji Tian. Feng Xu can join your team. We three will just earn an extra 25 euros. That’s decided."

This meant Ji Tian had to earn fifty euros to complete the task.

Ji Tian gave her a cold look, "Why should I earn more?"

Caught off guard, Gong Dongxi softened her tone, "I’ll earn the extra twenty-five. Just let me join you and Qin Jiangsheng."

Ji Tian nodded, "Alright."

Then, she looked at Yan Ming, "The money over one hundred euros doesn’t need to be handed over, right?"

Yan Ming nodded, "Right, whatever extra you earn is your personal money, the show won’t interfere."

Mengting Hang was not much of a person, but she could dance, so she walked away confidently.

Feng Xu looked at Gong Dongxi somewhat resentfully, but he also understood that the young lady was out of his league, and he hid his emotions and followed Li Meng.

Jian Chuyi looked at Tang Yu and asked, "What should we do?"

Tang Yu smiled slightly, "I’ll take you to pick locks."

Jian Chuyi: "???"

Gong Dongxi looked at Ji Tian, "How do you plan to make money?"

Ji Tian tilted her head slightly, "I’ll make money sitting down."

"?"

So, she saw Ji Tian go to the roadside human portrait area, spent two euros on a hardboard, and casually borrowed some colored pens to write.

1. Ancient Medicine Diagnosis, Guaranteed Accuracy (twenty euros per session, diagnosis only, medical fees not included!)

2. Antique Verification, Keen as Fire (one hundred euros per session, repay ten times if wrong!)

3. Professional Gambling Stone Evaluation (two hundred euros per session, come beat me if I’m wrong!)

She set up a sign that looked like a fortune-teller’s next to the human portraits, and she also rented two small chairs for her and Qin Jiangsheng to sit on.

They really were making money by "sitting."

Gong Dongxi felt somewhat speechless, aside from the first offer, who would come for the one hundred and two hundred euro ones!

Yet, the two of them sat down without a hint of panic.

The board was written in three languages, Chinese, French, English.

Gong Dongxi then went to discuss with the guy doing human portraits nearby about using pretty paint and cute, unique fonts to write people’s names and then mount them; the money earned would be split fifty-fifty.

The handsome foreign guy agreed readily.

Gong Dongxi felt her mood lighten up as well.

Sitting with the blonde, blue-eyed, radiantly handsome foreign guy made the air around her seem sweet.

Much better than being with Feng Xu—she was shallow, only loving good looks, and Feng Xu did not match her aesthetics at all.

[Is Sweet Sister serious? Does she still want to make money? What’s with these street diagnoses, treasure identification, and gambling stone evaluations, making her look like a worldly scammer?]

[Could she actually be scamming money? I won’t judge the treasure identification since she got it right on the first show, but the third one, evaluating gambling stones? Can she really see through such thick stones to tell if there is jade inside?]

[Wuhu, suddenly kind of looking forward to it, if she makes two hundred euros, she doesn’t have to record the variety show for a few days, and can just start enjoying life.]

[Wow, such good fortune? Let them make money, I want to see them enjoying life rather than getting incarcerated, hahaha.]

Next door, Gong Dongxi had managed to attract five customers. She charged one euro per word and ten euros for the mounting frame; within half an hour, she had made fifteen euros.

Half an hour later, Ji Tian finally welcomed her first customer, who was very interested in her ancient medical skills, so he paid twenty euros, intending to trick her because he was perfectly healthy, with not a single ailment. There were police patrolling the streets, and later he could report her and be compensated much more than the twenty euros.

Ji Tian asked in English, "May I ask where you feel discomfort?"

He sat opposite Ji Tian and replied, "Everything feels very uncomfortable, could you check what illness I have?"
