After Switching Bodies, the Mad Overbearing CEO Takes Over the Entertainment Industry-Chapter 74 - New Mission Issuance

Chapter 74: Chapter 74 New Mission Issuance

Shen Zhiyi gave a wry smile, her eyes portraying deep sadness, “I’m sorry, this really wasn’t my intention. If I’ve angered you, I sincerely hope you can forgive me.”

As she looked up, her smile was one of helplessness, “Also, Ji Tian, I truly want to be your friend.”

Having said that, she stuffed the soy milk and fried dough sticks into Ji Weinan’s hands and walked away.

“Eh…” Ji Weinan tried to call her back.

But he was at a loss for words and could only watch her figure disappear into the distance.

Ji Tian gave him a cold look, “What’s the matter? Were you just talking nonsense earlier? It hasn’t been long, and you’ve already forgotten the pain after the wound healed?”

...

Ji Weinan turned to look at her, speechless for a while before he slowly spoke, “No, I’m allergic to soy milk; you know that, don’t you? I wanted her to take it back.”

Ji Tian was speechless.

She genuinely didn’t know.

She dramatically covered her mouth with her hand, “Oh my God, of course, I know. How could I forget? Dear third brother, this is poison, you can’t drink this. Give it to me, and I’ll take care of it.”

The soy milk was just a small cup, and she likely didn’t want to spend money, using a cheap plastic cup filled to the brim, which probably costs one yuan.

Ji Tian took a sip, the taste full of childhood memories.

Ji Weinan was stunned by her actions. “Don’t you dislike her? Why are you still eating what she brought?”

She didn’t understand his point.

She tilted her head slightly, “Me eating doesn’t conflict with disliking her, Third Brother. Open your mind a bit; I’ll continue to dislike her, but it’s food—it’s innocent. It would be such a waste to throw it away, and wasting food can invite heavenly punishment!”

“If she starts giving me money-filled gifts because she has plenty, I won’t refuse those either. Why make an enemy of money? I’d just sell them right away. It’s real cash, and it would annoy her too—two birds with one stone, just lovely.”

[Comments Section: “Fixed six, looks like my perspective was too narrow. Hating someone and still throwing away their gifts—I should’ve sold that gold necklace I threw away.”]

[“Which trash can? I’ll fly over tonight and dig through it.”]

[“I think what she says isn’t right, but it doesn’t feel off… Now what, if my sworn enemy gives me something, should I eat it or eat it…”]

[“Really damages people’s connections; she truly is a daughter from a wealthy family. I feel there’s no need for a malicious heiress persona; she shows it perfectly. Can’t even handle a game? So openly expressing hatred. Zhiyi keeps apologizing—what more does she want? She comes from a wealthy family, even if she loses this show, it won’t affect her, but Zhiyi really needs the money. Couldn’t she be a bit magnanimous and step back? And it’s not only Zhiyi’s fault, right? Clearly, Mr. Dai and Bai Tingyu are also part of this, picking only the easy targets, disgusting!”]

[“Yo, moral abduction from the above comment? Just because she needs money, others should make way for her? Sister Tian is right; everyone’s being human for the first time, why should she step back? Good thing Sister Tian lacks morality, so she can’t be morally abducted.”]

Ji Weinan was at a loss for words, finally unable to hold back, he asked, “What exactly do you dislike about her?”

Ji Tian smiled with a sweet and innocent look, “Maybe, because our vibes don’t match?”

Ji Weinan was speechless.

What a ridiculous reason.

He rubbed his temples in frustration, “Alright, what should we do now? We don’t have money to buy groceries, can’t afford the rent, we don’t even have to wait until tomorrow; we could pack up and leave now.”

As soon as his words fell, a crew member handed them a Task Card.

Ji Tian knew today’s task wouldn’t be as simple as buying groceries.

The card read—Please use the least amount of money to have the most luxurious lunch, locations limited to restaurants only; the first group to complete this will receive a mysterious reward.

Ji Weinan looked incredulous, as if staring at his phone in disbelief, “The production team must be crazy. Use the least amount of money for the most luxurious lunch and it has to be at a restaurant? Why don’t they just rob us?”

Again, a mysterious reward.

The first mysterious reward was Shen Zhiyi’s “exchange”.

The second would definitely not be something good.

Wengxiang Town wasn’t very bustling, but it wasn’t too shabby either. It had hot pot restaurants, BBQ places, milk tea and burger joints, small diners, and even budget hotels—though it was a bit smaller than county towns, it had everything necessary.

From a distance, Shen Zhiyi was already strategizing upon receiving the task.

They had purchased rice and vegetables for tonight’s dinner, haggling for a long while and still spending fifty yuan.

After all, it was food for three people, including breakfast for the next day—the show wouldn’t arrange these; they had to rely on themselves.

Now, they only had 216 yuan left.

They definitely needed to rent a house for the night; the cave was just too cold.

If it wasn’t for the big quilt that Ji Weinan contributed and a fire they managed to keep lit through the night, they would’ve likely caught a cold.

The money they currently had was sufficient, and with three more days, they could definitely earn money themselves. Maintaining this trend in the survival reality show, coming in first wouldn’t be a problem.

The issue was the new task assigned by the production team.

Shen Zhiyi’s elegant brows furrowed slightly, “Using the least amount of money for the most luxurious items, there are hotels in town. Even a random table booking would start at six hundred upwards. Plus, there’s a mysterious reward—we have to get it. What if it’s another ‘exchange’?”

Dai Qin hesitated, “It probably won’t be the same reward again.”

“It’s still better to be cautious, just in case the production team pulls this move again. So, do we use the money or not? If we use it, we still have several days left. If we don’t and it gets exchanged, it’s like making clothes for someone else. The production team is good at playing mind games—giving us such a task could make the paranoid ones want to spend only ten yuan, but fearing being tricked, they’d rather spend fifty.” Shen Zhiyi laid out her analysis thoroughly.

Gradually, she opened up Dai Qin’s thought process.

He suddenly realized, “Zhiyi is right. Tingyu, what do you think?”

Bai Tingyu leaned against the wall, his eyes drifting over to where Ji Tian and her group had already started moving. He slightly curved his lips into a smile, “Regardless of the task’s purpose, we need to eliminate one group today. People in this show only ask to leave when they can’t hold on anymore.”

“If a team runs out of money, or the money is only enough for two people, then one of the three will face the risk of elimination. The show’s starting point is correct—survival of the fittest. Thus, I think we need to first eliminate Ji Weinan’s group to reduce competitive pressure.”

Shen Zhiyi smiled, Bai Tingyu’s thoughts coinciding with hers; one wanting to eliminate Ji Weinan, the other targeting Ji Tian—anyway, they were both from the Ji Family.

And in this book, the Ji Family was the first top financial group to go bankrupt.

In the reality show, they were also the first group to be eliminated.
