After Switching Bodies, the Mad Overbearing CEO Takes Over the Entertainment Industry-Chapter 72 - : The wise do not fall in love, the resentful repeat the same mistakes
Chapter 72: Chapter 72: The wise do not fall in love, the resentful repeat the same mistakes
“Bro, you’re really too naive,” Ji Tian said, her voice comforting but her words sharp. “The good you do for others from the bottom of your heart isn’t always appreciated. Some knives only hurt when they stab you, and with these twenty yuan, I’ll buy you some medicine. No matter what, your health is the most important.”
In her mind, she thought: Brilliant!
Shen Zhiyi made a great move there, just when she didn’t know how to pull him back, he handed her a perfect opportunity. She could already feel Ji Weinan’s despair.
On the outside, she kept a cool expression, but inside, she was ecstatic.
She wanted to say, “If you miss this village, there’s always another shop waiting for you.”
There are thousands and thousands of Miss Worlds out there, all better than this so-called female lead. It’d be better and easier with another.
...
Ji Weinan was still quite downhearted, after all, Shen Zhiyi was the first girl he had liked in seventeen years.
Ji Tian felt really bad for her brother and patted his shoulder solemnly, “Rather than internally destroying yourself, go mad and take it out on others. We won’t accept this injustice lightly. Go crazy, and you’ll be unbeatable!”
Ji Weinan: “…”
No need, it hadn’t come to that point yet.
His face turned dark, stunned speechless by Ji Tian’s words.
“I’m not at the point where it has to be her and no one else—stop implying that,” Ji Weinan retorted sharply.
That’s the spirit.
She nodded in agreement, “Alright bro, being a happy single dog smells great. The wise do not fall into the river of love, lest they repeat the same mistakes. The bachelor leads a path with PhD, building our beautiful country!”
He was still a bit sad, but Ji Tian’s few words turned his gloomy mood into nothing. All he wanted was to get away from Ji Tian and have a quiet environment. Couldn’t he mourn the love that had vanished before it even started?
He glared at her, “Get out of here, aren’t we supposed to go to town? With only twenty yuan, how are we supposed to get there?”
Ji Tian shrugged, “We’ll walk.”
Wen Jiangxue eyed her beautiful high heels and declared, “I won’t walk, and I’m not going either.”
Ji Tian gave her a languid look, “Sorry, but the task rules require three people to move forward. In town, we’ll have to figure out how to make some money. How else are we going to survive the next few days?”
Wen Jiangxue’s glamorous face paused, speechless, “Aren’t you trying to be the first one out? How can we miss such a perfect opportunity?”
Ji Tian played dumb, “Hmm? When did I ever say such disheartening things? I clearly said I wanted to freeload and wait for the end of the show—either change your shoes or break the heels off your high heels. Choose one.”
Wen Jiangxue: “…”
This chapter is updated by freēwēbnovel.com.
So we absolutely have to go, huh?
She glanced at her high heels studded with diamonds, a very expensive pair, and turned to leave discontentedly, “I’ll change. This is a love token from my ‘Golden Master’, representing the blossoming relationship between us.”
[Family, can someone check the playback? I want to make a meme. Just before the start, Ji Tian: ‘I want to be the first one out.’ After the start, Ji Tian: ‘Freeload till the grand finale.’]
[Her face turns faster than the weather—I said it’s for fame, she’ll play the part till the end. I’m curious how she’ll manage, and if the production team will cut her some slack.]
[Does anyone know who Wen Jiangxue’s ‘Golden Master’ is? Whatever show she’s on, she has to mention her ‘Golden Master’, and her demeanor suggests she can’t wait to have him by her side, cinched to her belt. If that’s not purely in love, what is? If one day her ‘Golden Master’ doesn’t want her anymore, she’ll have plenty of crying to do.]
[Her ‘Golden Master’ seems impressive, to the extent where even paparazzi caught them and dared not publish it. They only managed to capture their silhouettes entering and leaving apartments and hotels—a very tall and handsome man appears.]
[Even though she’s a useless vase, she’s really lucky. If I had her looks, I’d find a ‘Golden Master’ to provide for me too. A breakup fee starting from at least a million, right? The rest of my life wouldn’t be spent worrying about food and drink!]
Ji Tian waited in the same spot. Wengxiang Town was only three kilometers from Yue Ming Town, and a quick walk would get them to the town in about half an hour. The route to the town was served by a yellow skin bus that charged three yuan per person. Shen Zhiyi’s group had money, so they chose to take the bus right away.
Fu Wanxue too couldn’t handle hardships well, she gritted her teeth and also took the bus. Fortunately, Gong Yu had managed to earn fifty yuan, putting their total at one hundred and fifteen yuan, so they could at least afford the bus fare.
Yu Chuan’s Team was very attuned to the opinions of its members. He first asked Qin Jiangsheng, “Walk or take the bus?”
Qin Jiangsheng’s gaze briefly swept over the muddy road, then his peripheral vision turned toward Ji Tian, who was standing on the open ground waiting for Wen Jiangxue. She was touching her chin and furrowing her brows, seemingly lost in thought.
He withdrew his gaze, his tone unfluctuating, “Take the bus.”
Yu Chuan then looked at Feng Juanjuan, “What about you?”
Feng Juanjuan’s delicate face blushed slightly, “I’ll go with whatever he says.”
Very much the obedient wife vibe.
Yu Chuan: “…”
Damn, what right does someone who does nothing from start to finish have to take the bus?!
But he couldn’t break his gentle persona, so he smiled—a smile that, if one listened carefully, was slightly through gritted teeth, “Fine, we’ll take the bus too.”
Qin Jiangsheng nodded coldly, “Hmm.”
Hmm? Just hmm? What the hell is this hmm for? At least be somewhat useful!
Yu Chuan gave a slight smile, “Okay.”
[Wow, Chuangbao is really so gentle, he’s so good to his team members.]
[Absolutely, he’s like the gentle big brother of the team now. I’ve never seen him lose his temper. Oh my, can I get a dozen of this type of smiling, gentle guy!]
[I’m in love, totally in love, marketing accounts stop posting videos of my Chuangbao cursing on the streets; it’s clarified it’s not him. Careful or you’ll get a legal notice.]
Qin Jiangsheng also left thereafter. Their task for the day was to buy vegetables, to purchase enough for the next two days with as little money as possible, and there were other tasks after buying the vegetables.
He Chenxi’s team was much more straightforward, two words: Walk.
Regarding how He Chenxi convinced the pampered young masters, it only took a bowl of rice noodles.
Bus or eat rice noodles, letting Quan Jingyou choose between the two.
Quan Jingyou, who hadn’t eaten anything warm all day, didn’t want to touch buns anymore. His stomach was growling, and he gritted his teeth and chose to slurp the noodles.
To save costs, they simply walked.
After Wen Jiangxue changed her shoes, the other four teams had almost left.
Shen Zhiyi’s team, which had boarded the bus first, had already arrived in town and began their shopping.
Ji Weinan was hungry again, his head felt dizzy, and his entire body weak.
Ji Tian also wanted to walk, but Ji Weinan’s physical condition didn’t allow it. Fortunately, she had found one hundred yuan that day.
Yan Ming might have known, but probably felt too embarrassed to ask her for it back.
It was unexpected windfall.
But to cure Ji Weinan of his lovesickness, she decidedly wouldn’t expose this money to him. Instead, she’d create an illusion of “We’re so poor, yet I’m still so good to you.” As long as Ji Weinan felt guilty, truly shattering Shen Zhiyi’s perfect image from his heart, he might finally come to his senses.
