After Switching Bodies, the Mad Overbearing CEO Takes Over the Entertainment Industry-Chapter 46 - : Sorry, We Don’t Make Plans
Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Sorry, We Don’t Make Plans
Shen Zhiyi stared into his eyes, her hand tightening around the broom unconsciously. So, had Qin Jiangsheng agreed to her request?
She smiled broadly, “I’m not very good at it, my skills might be poor, can you teach me how to play? I will learn seriously.”
Before Qin Jiangsheng could say anything, another anxious voice cut in, “No way! He has to play with me first!”
Shen Zhiyi’s smile stiffened as she looked over, it was Quan Jingyou, glaring at her angrily. Shen Zhiyi pursed her lips; for now, the only two she had successfully charmed were Bai Tingyu and Ji Weinan.
As for Quan Jingyou and Gong Yu, that would have to happen closer to the middle of the story. In the original book, the female lead had attracted Quan Jingyou by playing a game with him by chance, and because of her poor gaming skills, which contrasted starkly with her academic excellence, a sort of “adorable incompetence” that enticed Quan Jingyou.
Gong Yu was not detailed in the book, only noted for being attracted by the female lead’s excellence.
...
In the book, Quan Jingyou was from a prestigious family but was otherwise a waste in every aspect.
Shen Zhiyi was not particularly interested in those types, but that did not stop her from enjoying the sight of others being fascinated by her. With a twinkle in her eyes, she said, “Can we play together? I usually spend all my time reading books and seldom play these kinds of games. Recently, I took an interest and want to be taught by someone skilled.”
Her words not only highlighted her academic excellence but also marked herself as a cute newbie who needed guidance. At the same time, she subtly praised both him and Qin Jiangsheng for their gaming prowess.
Any normal person would be tempted by vanity to play with her.

But she had underestimated Quan Jingyou’s obsession with gaining points.
If he had always been a mere Diamond or Platinum player, then playing with a newbie and losing some points might not matter. With the philosophy, “If you can’t beat them, join them,” the mentality was: If you drag me down, I’ll drag someone else down. Don’t think you can get away while others suffer.
But now, there was a chance to become a Grandmaster right in front of him, and possibly in the future, to reach unreachable ranks like Ace or Super Ace. What then?
So he stood in front of Qin Jiangsheng and refused: “Sorry, we don’t team up; I don’t like to play with noobs. If you were one-third as skilled as Sister Tian, I might consider it.”
Shen Zhiyi: “…”
She looked at Qin Jiangsheng, whose gaze was indifferent, “If you’ve heard it clear, then scram.”
Quan Jingyou was the Quan Family’s third young master, with an elder brother and sister above him, so he had also been pampered since childhood. He didn’t care whether his crude words hurt anyone. These wealthy heirs always spoke their minds without any reservations.
Shen Zhiyi’s smile could not last.
She felt deceived by the original work.
How could there be any trace of Quan Jingyou being fascinated by her like this?
She had never suffered such humiliation and tears were already spinning in her eyes when Ji Weinan arrived just in time. He saw Shen Zhiyi’s nearly crying expression and frowned, asking Quan Jingyou, “Did you bully her?”
Quan Jingyou was dumbfounded, “Huh?”
“How did I bully her? I just said I don’t play with noobs… Does that count as bullying?” He also looked towards Shen Zhiyi, who seemed ready to cry at any moment, and for a moment felt bewildered, he didn’t think he had been harsh to her…
Shen Zhiyi hung her head, tears falling to the ground, “I’m sorry, I’m not worthy of staying with you all, I thought everyone was equal, but there are still classes within a wealthy family. My apologies for disturbing.”
With that, she ran off.
“Hey!” Ji Weinan glared at Quan Jingyou and followed after her, “They didn’t mean that.”
Quan Jingyou: “…”
Insane.
The noise here also drew the attention of Ji Tian.
She walked over and saw them running off, raising her eyebrows in question, “What happened? Did Shen Zhiyi cry?”
Quan Jingyou was somewhat frustrated, “Your brother said we bullied her, I’m speechless. She wants to play games with us, but has no skill. Why bother if she’s just here to drag me down? For the sake of my points, I definitely can’t let her get away with it!”
Three dark lines slid down Ji Tian’s forehead, “That’s it?”
“Otherwise, what do you think I should do?” Quan Jingyou glanced at her strangely and snorted, “Girls are really hard to please. I don’t know if your brother is out of his mind or something, but lately, he’s been chasing after Shen Zhiyi non-stop. Seriously, I’d rather die than team up with someone so pretentious to play a game!”
In Quan Jingyou’s eyes, Shen Zhiyi’s behavior was pretentious, and his words carried a tone of distaste.
Ji Tian’s eyes flickered slightly as she probed, “You don’t have feelings for her?”
“What feelings could I have for her? If it weren’t for Brother Yu and your third brother, I wouldn’t even know who she is. So what if she ranks first in exams? She can’t help me climb to top rank in gaming! If this issue causes a rift between Weinan and me, I’ll go and give her trouble,” Quan Jingyou said, hardly able to hide his irritation.
It was mainly the recent cold war between Ji Weinan and Bai Tingyu that had scared him.
His life revolved around hanging out with friends and gaming, both were indispensable.
Ji Tian felt quite relieved.
Fortunately, two of the school’s F4 still kept their wits about them.
One was Quan Jingyou, and the other was Gong Yu, neither had fallen for her.
She patted his shoulder earnestly, encouraging him, “Stick to your current dislike of her, don’t change, I really appreciate that about you.”
Quan Jingyou: “…”
This was a first, being encouraged because he disliked someone else.
Quan Jingyou seemed like he had something to say, hesitated, and eventually nodded, “Okay!”
As he looked at Ji Tian’s delicately sweet face, something suddenly occurred to him, and he rubbed his hands together awkwardly, “There’s something… I’m not sure if I should bring up. Can we step aside and talk?”
Ji Tian’s eyes showed confusion, “What?”
“Cough, not too many people should know about this.”
Qin Jiangsheng was running his fingers along the smooth edge of his phone and his gaze wandered between Ji Tian and Quan Jingyou. He didn’t quite like someone standing so close to Ji Tian; he couldn’t quite pinpoint this odd feeling. It was as if because Ji Tian was kind to him, he didn’t like others bullying her under his watch, which is why he had gone to warn Bei Ning.
He paused his fingers and said indifferently, “If it’s inappropriate to say, then don’t say it. Are we still gaming or not?”
Quan Jingyou: “…”
“Let me finish.”
Qin Jiangsheng stood up abruptly, “If not, I’m leaving.”
“Hey!” Quan Jingyou immediately followed him, yet unable to voice what he wanted to say to Ji Tian, he turned back quickly and said, “I’ll think it over and talk to you later.”
Ji Tian watched their retreating figures speechlessly, then picked up the broom and went to sweep the floor.
Gong Dongxi passed by her, rolling her eyes exaggeratedly, “Poser.”
Ji Tian: “…”
One after another, they all have the same affliction.
Sensing a hidden gaze, Ji Tian met Feng Juanjuan’s eyes. Like a startled rabbit, she quickly turned her head and stuck close behind Gong Dongxi.
At three in the afternoon, they were finally able to leave Ghost Villa.
They could arrive by private car, but the return journey had to be made by school bus, and they had to attend roll call at school before they could go home.
On the way back, Ji Tian covered her face with a sun hat and fell asleep.
When they reached their destination, she sucked in her drool and, still sleepy, followed the crowd off the bus.
Not far away, next to the greenery, sat a middle-aged man smoking a cigarette gloomily on the street, and a young man with a troubled expression looked at him, “Director Yan, you’ve been sitting here all day. If we can’t figure out how to boost the ratings, let’s just go back.”
