After Switching Bodies, the Mad Overbearing CEO Takes Over the Entertainment Industry-Chapter 157 - : I’ve always been lucky, want to take a bet with me?
Chapter 157 -157: I’ve always been lucky, want to take a bet with me?
She scoffed, “It’s just an exam, how else could I target her? At most, I would mock her a few times. Her family is no worse than mine. It’s still easier to handle Shen Zhiyi, as for Ji Tian, out of sight, out of mind. I’ll ignore her.”
Gong Dongxi naturally knew the principle that soft persimmons were easy to squeeze. Ji Tian had three older brothers, and besides the unreliable third one, the other two were especially good to her. Particularly her second brother, who gave her anything she asked for, even more generously than her oldest brother. Sometimes, she was envious. Why was her brother not Ji Qilin but Gong Yu?
Instead of being of any help, he only helped others and would not even help match her with Bai Tingyu, merely saying Bai Tingyu wasn’t suitable for her, that she couldn’t control that kind of man.
She couldn’t handle it, but Shen Zhiyi could?
It was infuriating.
She didn’t believe her decade of feelings was inferior to Shen Zhiyi’s, whom she had only known for two months!
…
That afternoon, Ji Tian first went to the club, then to Li Hongjin’s place. He was going to teach her about medicine making today, mentioning he would take her to the hospital soon to look for patients they might be able to cure.
Having only learned for nearly two weeks, Ji Tian thought, “He really isn’t afraid of me killing someone.”
Meanwhile, on Shen Zhiyi’s end, after System 008 went into hibernation, she quieted down for a few days. But thinking of Qin Jiangsheng, she couldn’t resist coming to Black City A3 District, and without 008, she felt nervous all the way.
But her luck was good once again as she spotted Qin Jiangsheng. He walked out following Mo Jiu, with Qin Jiangsheng like a shadow on his left side.
Shen Zhiyi pressed closer to the wall, fearing they might discover her and silence her.
When the group walked farther away, she bit her lip and stealthily moved up, not daring to get too close. She only caught a few key phrases, “half a month” and “auction.” The terrain ahead was open, and she dared not show herself until they had disappeared from view.
An auction?
What was Qin Jiangsheng’s uncle doing taking him to an auction?
Sadly, without 008, she had no idea what kind of auction it was. Walking to the roadside, Mo Jiu’s car was still parked ahead, and she hid in the shadows to observe.
In the car,
“Ninth Young Master, that girl followed again and eavesdropped on your conversation with Young Master Qin. Should we capture her?”
Mo Jiu, seeing Shen Zhiyi’s sneaky figure through the rearview mirror, knew her background was easy to check, and she had no connection to Qin Jiangsheng. As for why she followed, that remained unknown.
His lips curved into a faint smile, “No harm, let her jump around a bit more.”
“Ninth Young Master, reliable information says that Qin Wantang will attend the oceanic auction in half a month. Should we inform Young Master Qin?”
Oh, a mother and son reunion after thirteen years?
The fact that this woman could overcome her revulsion of the Capital City to come personally indicates that the struggle for the Qin Family inheritance has reached a feverish stage; she had no choice but to complete this mission.
Mo Jiu, lounging lazily on the car seat, wickedly smiled, “What should I say? It wouldn’t be fun if I said it all. Do you think it’ll be deep maternal love when they meet, or foes meeting too late? Very interesting. I wouldn’t mind letting Bai Yan Zhang also meet the woman he yearns for night and day.”
The bodyguard in the front row remained silent as Mo Jiu ordered, “Drive on.”
After the car drove away, Shen Zhiyi also left.
She felt she was getting closer to Qin Jiangsheng’s secrets. If only she could strike him dead in one blow.
…
Elsewhere,
Qin Jiangsheng sat in the car, with Qu Rong as the driver.
According to the current timeline, he was only half a month away from breaking away from the organization.
Qu Rong was usually quite active, but at this moment, he couldn’t help but feel tense, “Young Master Qin, can you really get away?”

Qin Jiangsheng’s dark eyes swirled with a hidden light, “I can. Even if I can’t, I have to leave. Qu Rong, Mo Jiu won’t let this go. This is a confrontation. Do you want to leave with me?”
Qu Rong was silent for a long time before he laughed helplessly, “Young Master Qin, I can’t leave.”
“Even for your sister, you don’t want to leave?”
That question choked Qu Rong.
He had known Qin Jiangsheng for three years since he had rescued him from that car accident.
His sister had protected him by using her own body, suffering many injuries, leading to blindness and disability in her legs, while he remained unscathed, using up all the family savings just to bring Qu Yun back from death’s door.
It was then that Qin Jiangsheng invited him to join the organization, offering him a way to make quick money to cure Qu Yun; otherwise, he wouldn’t have had the face to appear before her.
He too wished for a peaceful life and finally said softly, “I dream of it, but I can’t. Young Master Qin, go ahead without worry. I’m just short of the last five hundred thousand. I can gather enough for the medical fees and cure her.”
“My sister isn’t my burden; I am the burden to her.”
After a while, Qin Jiangsheng spoke slowly, “Qu Rong, you’ll never know the possibilities of success if you don’t try. I’ve always been lucky. How about taking a gamble with me?”
“What’s the bet?” Qu Rong hesitated.
“Bet that we both can leave the organization alive.”
…
As November approached, the weather in Capital City changed abruptly.
Ji Tian put on a thick jacket as the incessant drizzle made her feel gloomy too.
Who would have thought that since the last award ceremony, the rain had continued for over a week?
And her remaining 29% of Laziness Power, no matter what, couldn’t increase. She asked the King of Competition, but even it didn’t know, only mentioning a system bug.
So during this time, aside from teaching Jian Chuyi, she had been running between the club and Li Hongjin.
The club had five days left until the first round of the regular season would announce the teams for the battles, dividing fifty teams into winners and losers, twenty-five each, for separate competitions.
The training during this period was quite effective, including Quan Jingyou who could now top the charts on his own, no longer the pitiful one needing support and could even carry girls up the rankings, making him extremely proud.
Ji Tian opened Weibo, which she hadn’t logged into for a while, and found to her surprise that her follower count had soared to two million, her only post garnering over five hundred thousand comments.
They were unanimously here because they enjoyed watching her argue; they were sincerely here to learn how to curse.
Sweating, Ji Tian opened her live streaming platform account and received a message: [Did you cause this?!]
She was stunned for a moment before she realized the message was from the game streamer “Wind God”; she had almost forgotten about him. From the looks of it, he must have been sued, and not just by that one young lady.
Because the incident was so significant, his account was directly canceled by the platform, he was even unable to stream, chased every day by fans berating him.
Ji Tian only wanted to say, ‘serves you right,’ and then logged out of the platform’s messages.
The next second, a friend request popped up on WeChat: [I’m Lin Shihuan, and there’s a five million business deal.]
Ji Tian’s eyes lit up; the owner of Lanzhu Pavilion had finally gotten in touch.
She immediately accepted, and he messaged her: [Miss Ji Tian, let’s meet this afternoon at the place I’ve arranged to discuss participating in the auction in five days.]
