After Switching Bodies, the Mad Overbearing CEO Takes Over the Entertainment Industry-Chapter 62 - The Situation is Just Like This
Chapter 62 -62 The Situation is Just Like This
Eight men: “???”
Who are they looking down on? The eight of them were grown men, surely their strength wouldn’t be outshone by a young girl? Ridiculous.
[Have they gone crazy? With her frail body, who gave her the courage to speak so presumptuously?]
[Who here doesn’t possess greater strength than her? Does she really think that just because she can carry a hoe, she’s invincible?]
[Ah! If I had known earlier, I would have gone to Yue Ming Town sooner—I would have become the son-in-law of the Ji Family by now!]
The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.
[This is hilarious, still putting on an act. I’m just waiting for Ji Tian to be smacked in the face. If she claims her words were just teasing, then she’s really tarnishing her own family’s name, after all, a family teaches its own kind.]
...
[Ji Weinan: Suddenly got a burly brother-in-law. Haha, can’t keep a straight face, family, who gets it?]
Speak of the devil and he shall appear.
Ji Weinan had been helping out a farming family, and had only filled his stomach with two steamed buns with Quan Jingyou’s help; it was the first time he found steamed buns so delicious—sweet and filling. After eating, he was heartlessly chased away.
From a distance, he happened to see Ji Tian. She was standing in the courtyard with Wen Jiangxue and eight burly men in front of her.
His heart skipped a beat, thinking that Ji Tian had offended the local household, and he immediately ran towards her.
On the way, he ran into Gong Yu and, without a word, dragged him along, “Yu, you’re well-read, come be a peacemaker!”
Quan Jingyou was also desperately anxious—a fight was acceptable, but to let Ji Tian hurt her hands would be unbearable!
The first man swung an axe in his hand, but before he could bring it down, Ji Weinan intervened just in time: “Wait a second!”
[Hahaha, an uncle from heaven descends.]
[The moment we witness the birth of a brother-in-law has arrived.]
[I’m dying of laughter, why did he bring Gong Yu and Quan Jingyou too? Are they joining the Ji Tian husband selection competition?]
[Hey, Qin Jiangsheng and Feng Juanjuan are here too? And Shen Zhiyi, they must all be full and have nothing better to do, just here for the commotion, right?]
Beside Shen Zhiyi was Bai Tingyu. Just now, Yan Ming had informed them that they were the first team to get lunch, and they received a mysterious reward, which she could use now or later, but couldn’t reveal the details to the other players.
Shen Zhiyi glanced at it once, and written on the card were two words: “Exchange.”
As the name suggests, she could exchange anything she wanted with the person of her choice, including houses.
But she wasn’t considering exchanging houses because losing the house was intentional.
This plot point was also in the original work; the female lead couldn’t find a house due to a mistake, so she and Bai Tingyu found a cave where their relationship quickly developed.
Because she was unsure whether the plot would deviate like before, she intentionally led them astray. The original plot did not include scenarios of Qin Jiangsheng joining this reality show; by this time, he should have already “disappeared.”
008 was also absent. Her eyes flashed as she saw the back of Qin Jiangsheng, feigning confusion, “Eh, what’s happening in that courtyard? Why is everyone heading there?”
Bai Tingyu lazily lifted his gaze, and when he saw Qin Jiangsheng, he showed disdain with a sneer, “Why don’t we go and find out?”
Shen Zhiyi, with a smile, said: “Then let’s hurry. If Ji Tian encounters trouble, we can still help, and Teacher Dai Qin is still waiting for us in the clearing.”
[Chaos ensues, didn’t you see how Bai Tingyu looked at Qin Jiangsheng? That lofty contempt, worthy of the heir born to the legitimate wife, his aura is incomparable to anyone else.]
[You must not have heard the rumors. Because of Qin Jiangsheng’s mother’s affair, Bai Tingyu’s mother fell into depression and died. There’s a life between them; do you think Bai Tingyu would show him any kindness, any nice attitude? If it were me, I’d have wanted to murder him a long time ago, rather than let him skip around before my eyes.]
[Why bring this kind of thing out into the open? It just goes to show the Bai Family’s stance: Qin Jiangsheng, the illegitimate child, will always be an outsider? Then his future days are certainly not going to be easy.]
The barrage of online comments was a mix of various discussions. Yan Ming took a moment to glance over and let out a light tsk.
Bai Yan Zhang had instructed to highlight Bai Tingyu’s intelligence and competence in front of everyone—because Qin Jiangsheng was as dumb as a pig, conveniently serving as a contrast. It was only the first day, and indeed, nothing much was apparent.
At this point, inside the bamboo fence courtyard.
Ji Weinan still had a bit of a responsible older brother’s conscience, protecting Ji Tian behind him as soon as he walked in, warily eyeing the circle of people before turning his head to ask, “What’s the situation here? Did you get into trouble?”
Blinking her eyes, Ji Tian observed Ji Weinan, who was tall with a white casual jacket on, towering a full head above her, which did, in fact, provide a comforting sense of security.
She pondered for a moment before slowly saying, “The situation is just this, but as for the specific situation, that depends on the situation.”
Ji Weinan: “???”
At a time like this, how can you still be in the mood to beat around the bush with me?!
[Look, our very own verbose literature has made an appearance.]
[Just as expected from real siblings, Ji Weinan still stands in front of Ji Tian at the critical moment, it’s so heartwarming to watch.]
[Pfft, I’m afraid the moment he finds out the truth, he’ll want to smash Ji Tian’s head in.]
[Let’s just say this, if Ji Tian wins, I’ll livestream myself eating shit.]
Wen Jiangxue watched with glee, not minding the chaos at all, as she sat on the wooden chair, lazily seductive, “Congratulations, you’re about to become a great brother-in-law. Your sister has declared that she’ll choose the strongest man in there to be her son-in-law.”
A stunned Ji Weinan turned his head mechanically to look at the innocent Ji Tian, “Is what she’s saying true?”
Ji Tian shook her head, “No.”
Before Ji Weinan could release his breath, Ji Tian continued, “What I said was, they have to be stronger than me to qualify, and I would grit my teeth and accept them.”
Ji Weinan: “…”
He struggled to hold back, barely keeping the essence of national disdain from spilling out of his mouth.
Don’t I have a clue in my heart?
Who here isn’t stronger than she is?
Ji Weinan’s eyes swept over the eight burly men cloaked in darkness, mentally exclaiming darn it!
He did not approve of this union.
Gong Yu glanced over at her, “Your standard is just strength?”
Ji Tian nodded, “Yeah, what else can they possibly have? This is the minimum requirement.”
The eight men: “…”
The insult is not heavy, but the affront is extreme.
They were not just competing for a bite of bread, but for a breath of dignity.
The first Brother Juehuo pulled out his Family Inheritance Axe with a cold huff, facing a log as thick as a bowl’s mouth, “With one hand, I’ll split the wood into two.”
No sooner had he spoken than he executed a swift chop with a single hand, and the log obediently split in half, clearly a task that required real strength.
“Good!” The other men immediately chimed in, contributing to the atmosphere.
Brother Juehuo crossed his fists in front, emanating the aura of someone from the worldly society, “Excuse my modest skill.”
The next competitor, a portly fellow, walked up with a porcelain bowl in his hand. Without wasting words, he showcased his talent. With a forceful squeeze, the bowl shattered into pieces while his thick palm remained unscathed.
Ji Weinan watched, dumbfounded, as Ji Tian clapped with satisfaction, “Not bad, not bad, quite the strong hand, next.”
Ji Weinan: “…”
He was beside himself with anxiety, and there was Ji Tian, actually enthusiastic about making her selection?
Qin Jiangsheng looked over as well; Ji Tian’s gaze did not linger on him, she was engrossed in the Yue Ming Town men’s display of strength.
Feng Juanjuan had been observing Qin Jiangsheng’s reactions and seeing him glance toward Ji Tian again, her eyes darkened slightly. With a seemingly casual smile, she said, “Miss Ji really does as she pleases. These men are naive. They may not even realize if they’re being played. With Miss Ji’s status, she’s not someone just anyone can reach for. Watching them excited as if they could truly win her favor and enter a wealthy family… When Ji Tian eventually marries, she’ll choose someone from a matching background, an heir, not someone with nothing to their name. Qin Jiangsheng, don’t you think I’m right?”
