After Switching Bodies, the Mad Overbearing CEO Takes Over the Entertainment Industry-Chapter 184 - From today onwards, I am your boss

Chapter 184 -184 From today onwards, I am your boss

“Yes, it’s that Shen Zhiyi, a top student from Imperial City Academy!” Upon hearing the familiar name, everyone immediately believed it.

Someone proposed, “Dean Zhang, why don’t you write a recommendation letter for her to join the KI Research Institute? They’re currently developing… that drug, she might be able to help.”

Dean Zhang hesitated for a moment, his gaze flicking over the lifeless old man. Even though his consciousness shouldn’t have been clear, he miraculously woke up and spoke a long string of words. Even if it was just for a few short seconds, it was as if someone had been given a chance to “resurrect.”

Finally, he slowly shook his head, “Not yet, this research is confidential, and I’m not sure if it’s her. I can’t witness her ability myself, let’s wait for now.”

After leaving the hospital, Ji Tian lifted her hat, and the chubby man sobbed as he called his uncle to arrange for a one-stop funeral service. Even though he was in debt to the tune of a billion, he still had the filial piety to lay the old man to rest first.

Li Hongjin sneered audibly, “I thought you really had money, but it turns out you’re as poor as me, oh, a debt-ridden pauper at that.”

The chubby man’s heart clenched, and he cried even louder, “Wuu wuu wuu, I didn’t want this. Who knew my uncle would hide this from me so tightly, accumulating so much debt? I wanted to use this money to save my company, but it’s all gone to waste.”

Ji Tian glanced at the sky, early winter days always turned dark early, it was almost seven o’clock, and the street lights had already lit up with a dim yellow glow. She raised her hand to silence his cries, “Shut up for now, just explain what happened! Most importantly, is there still half of the inheritance you promised me?”

The chubby man burped out a sob, and under Ji Tian’s stern gaze, he began to recount…

The chubby man’s name was Zhu Xiaoda, the old man wasn’t his biological uncle, but had adopted him when he was twelve. Of course, the old man didn’t just adopt him, but many others too. The old man had been a lonely man with wealth but had lost the ability to have children after becoming wealthy, yet he loved lively scenes. As he adopted more people, some began to harbor crooked thoughts, waiting to inherit his fortune after his death. Zhu Xiaoda was truly grateful for the old man’s kindness in raising him, hence he moved the old man sincerely and was treated like a biological son.

This caused quite a bit of jealousy. Everyone manipulated money from the old man to establish their own businesses and began targeting Zhu Xiaoda because not only was he filial, he also had a good business sense. Initially, the old man had loaned him a hundred thousand, and in just three years, he multiplied it a hundredfold.

Being favored and able to earn good money in front of the old man indeed made the others target him. After the old man fell seriously ill, they began to take over the company he had painstakingly established. He planned to use the remaining inheritance from the old man to patch the huge financial hole in his company, only to find himself a billion in debt.

The will mentioned Zhu Xiaoda’s name, although it hadn’t been signed yet, legally, he was designated as the heir; he had no choice but to shoulder this burden.

At this point, Ji Tian understood, and Zhu Xiaoda looked pale, “Heaven wants to destroy me, selling my kidney won’t even cover this billion-dollar hole. I took good care of him during my uncle’s life, it’s so unfair that I have to pay back all these loans!”

Tears streamed down his face, “I might as well be dead.”

Ji Tian looked at him emotionlessly, leaning lazily against a lamppost, “Dying is easy, I won’t stop you, but before you die, can you fulfill what you promised me?”

Zhu Xiaoda, “…”

He might as well be dead.

He hung his head low, wiped his face with his sleeve, and pulled out a card from his bag, “My company was taken over, there’s still a million in this card, I’m giving it all to you.”

Ji Tian took the card and looked at it.

Li Hongjin, seeing his apprentice’s carefree demeanor, muttered quietly behind her, “He’s given you all the money, probably thinking about finding a secluded corner to kill himself soon; you should give it back, this money is tainted.”

Ji Tian scoffed lightly, “To make such a fuss over such a small matter, he won’t achieve much in the future.”

Zhu Xiaoda, “…”

His company, worth tens of millions, gone in an instant, along with decades of hard work.

He still had so much debt, he simply had no courage to face this dead end.

“Little girl, thank you anyway. We might not see each other again. I see you’re a student. With this one million, if you spend it wisely, you could live without worries for more than a decade. Just consider it a scholarship from me.”

After he finished speaking, he turned and left for the hospital to wait for the funeral staff.

Ji Tian’s hand, which was fidgeting with the bank card, paused. “Hold on.”

Zhu Xiaoda stopped and turned his head, looking at her puzzled.

Ji Tian stood upright and flicked her wrist, tossing the card, which he clumsily caught. She smiled and said, “Forget the million. If it had tens of millions, I might take it. So, how about we make a deal? I’ll help you clear a hundred million in debt, and you work for me for ten years to pay it back. How does that sound?”

Zhu Xiaoda thought he had misheard and rubbed his ears uncertainly. “How much are you helping me clear?”

Her lips, tinted with a faint smile, parted slightly. “A hundred million.”

He stared at Ji Tian blankly, unable to fathom how this seventeen- or eighteen-year-old girl could propose to clear a hundred million of his debt.

Zhu Xiaoda was skeptical, but Ji Tian’s confidence was overwhelming. He swallowed and finally asked, “What kind of deal…”

“I have a business plan, but I have a lot of things to handle right now and can’t spare much time to manage it. I lack a talented assistant to help me. Can I ‘buy’ you for ten years with a hundred million? Of course, I will provide you with a basic living allowance during this time, and the rest of the money will go toward repaying the debt.”

Zhu Xiaoda understood. He summed it up simply:

1. Clear his debts.

2. Work for her for ten years building a company.

3. Receive a salary during that period.

4. Find an assistant.

He stepped back incredulously, “That’s impossible. My salary over ten years couldn’t add up to a hundred million.”

If he were the boss, perhaps it could be done, but working for nothing, he felt this girl would lose out.

“Just tell me if you’ll do it or not. If not, I’ll find someone else.”

Zhu Xiaoda originally hadn’t planned to truly die; he was just too disheartened. An opportunity lay before him. If Ji Tian gave him a million, he would need to figure out how to turn that into ten million just to clear the debt, and he’d need to make it profitable for her, at the very least earning two hundred million, to do justice to this girl in front of him.

In business, he had never feared anyone. If he could turn ten thousand into tens of millions, why couldn’t he turn a million into a hundred million?

Finally, he took a deep breath. It was a tough challenge, one that ignited his desire to rise again and outdo those who had harmed him.

He nodded seriously, “I accept your offer, but how much initial capital can you give me?”

Ji Tian tilted her head slightly, seeing Zhu Xiaoda agree, and revealed a satisfied smile. “Ten billion.”

“My name is Ji Tian, and from today on, I am your boss.”
