After Switching Bodies, the Mad Overbearing CEO Takes Over the Entertainment Industry-Chapter 191 - 190: Meeting Wen Jiangxue at Ji Lingyun’s Company (Combined) 2
Chapter 191: Chapter 190: Meeting Wen Jiangxue at Ji Lingyun’s Company (Combined) 2
This must have been his smallest wish.
Coaches from four teams took the stage one by one, most of them young and aged between twenty-five and thirty.
When it was Ji Tian’s turn, she took the microphone from the side and stood in the middle of the arena.
"No, what’s this person adding to the chaos for, don’t you see Captain Yi is about to compete!"
"Where is Old Wu, the coach of YXC? Why don’t I see him anywhere?"
"Ah, can she come down, the coaches from other teams are going up, why is a bystander joining in the fun!"
Whispers erupted from the audience seats, the tone laced with anger, as they irrationally lashed out at this unexpected "girlfriend."
"Cough." Ji Tian cleared her throat lightly, and the microphone carried her voice throughout the venue. freewebnøvel.coɱ
The crowd quieted down, and she slowly said, "Hello everyone, I am the new coach for YXC, I am called..."
She paused for a moment, took out a coach’s ID badge from her pocket, shook it in her hand, and continued: "I am called Tangtang."
"As for motivational words for the competition, I think trying your hardest is enough, and if we fail, I suggest disbanding the team to save a lot of money, thank you all."
She put down the microphone and walked off the stage.
The four starting members on stage: "..."
Other than the first sentence, the latter was really disheartening.
The quiet audience seats: "..."
They were momentarily stunned by her transition from girlfriend to YXC coach.
The club actually hired a female coach?!
Someone so commanding, why would she choose such a sweet name like Tangtang.
The venue, which should have been lively, fell to a chilling silence because of Ji Tian’s statement.
Ji Tian was also speechless; the female fans behind her were no longer glaring but had become dazed.
Only when Xiao Cheng led the cheer of YXC’s team slogan did the atmosphere gradually become lively again.
The competition began, and Ji Tian watched the large screen, as coaches were not allowed to command from the arena.
Fortunately, her teammates were competent, and without any strong opponents except for WQ, the team managed to win the match in about twenty minutes and smoothly advanced to the winner’s group.
Ji Tian left the venue discreetly, followed by the club’s celebration dinner, which Ji Tian had no intention of attending; her mysterious girlfriend status outside had transformed into the new female coach of YXC.
Mysterious to the extent that all they knew was her name, Tangtang...
In a vacant restroom at Lingxiao Arena.
Feng Qingyun looked grim as he answered a phone call, and after a long while, he responded, "We lost..."
"The female coach of YXC is Ji Tian, brother, should we expose it?"
After a few words from the other side, he looked conflicted: "But brother... she is from the Ji Family, let’s just forget about it."
"Why should I forget about it! She caused me to be like this, now I can’t even go out without hiding, and the internet is full of cyber violence against me, I want her dead, I don’t care who she is, even if she were the emperor I’d want her to pay! Qingyun, keep an eye on her movements and then tell me..."
The call on the other end hung up, and Feng Qingyun couldn’t swallow this resentment; they wouldn’t leak the fact that Ji Tian was YXC’s coach to boost her visibility, on the contrary, they wanted to reduce societal attention towards her.
Although his brother had made mistakes, logically speaking, he indeed did wrong, having hurt about a dozen girls, eight of whom had abortions for him, and two suffered from severe depression and, after several failed suicide attempts, no longer pursued his brother.
But emotionally, he felt those women were cheap, it was all just for fun, and they took it seriously, sticking too close and even going on live streams to expose him, allowing Ji Tian to follow this lead and pay someone to mess with their family.
She definitely couldn’t swallow her anger, but she was wary of the Ji Family. However, in this world, accidents happen to so many people, and a mishap in a wealthy family shouldn’t be anything unusual...
After the match, Ji Tian went directly to Ji Lingyun’s company. The contract she had given to Zhu Xiaoda had already been sent to Lanzhu Pavilion; he only needed to receive it, check it, sign it, and hand it back to her with two copies well preserved.
She sought out Ji Lingyun to consult about whether there were any good locations left in Capital City suitable for starting her business.
The company staff were familiar with her by now; she didn’t need anyone to show her the way, she knew how to get there herself.
While waiting for the elevator, she looked down at the incoming call from He Chenxi, tapped to answer, and He Chenxi’s voice came through, "Tiantian... I’ve handed the evidence over to the court, Wu Qin’er has also been subpoenaed, under pressure she told the truth, I’ve been vindicated. Liu Huixing caused me psychological harm through cyberbullying, Yingdu Media has terminated my contract without compensation and paid me one million in damages, Xue Anyu has compensated me two million for mental distress, and has also been sentenced to two years’ imprisonment for extortion."
Ji Tian breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there was evidence, the truth could be uncovered.
She said, "That’s great news. You should rest well at home for now, and reappear before the public after some time. They always sympathize with the underdog. If you’re thinking of looking for another entertainment company, be sure to choose carefully."
He Chenxi sighed, "Not looking anymore. Yu Chuang’s contract with Yingdu Media is expiring, and he seems to not be planning to sign with another studio but to start his own. I reckon if I run out of options, I’ll just join him and start a studio together, to avoid getting tied down to a five-year contract without any freedom again."
Running your own company is indeed feasible, though it can be exhausting.
Ji Tian watched the jumping numbers of the elevator floors, smiling as she spoke, "Well, don’t forget to invite me to dinner once you two make it big."
After a moment of silence, He Chenxi gave a bitter laugh, "Sure, definitely."
She paused, then took a deep breath, "Tiantian... three days ago, I went to a bar to drink."
The elevator’s red numbers jumped, reaching the twentieth floor.
She casually responded, "And then? You didn’t end up drunk on the street, did you?"
He Chenxi’s voice caught in his throat, and he ultimately swallowed what he had meant to say, laughing lightly, "No, I wasn’t drunk, I went home. How about I invite you for a drink next time?"
"No, I can’t handle liquor. I get silly when I’m drunk."
"Ha ha, okay then, we’ll meet up another time."
The call ended, and Ji Tian thought about the day He Chenxi mentioned—it was the day she went to the auction.
Strange, he stopped talking halfway through.
"Ding."
The CEO’s private elevator arrived; Ji Tian always used this elevator.
She thought she might encounter her brother, but instead, she ran into Wen Jiangxue.
In the chilly weather, she was wearing a thick woolen skirt with a red woolen coat over it, her black curly hair casually trailing behind, swaying enticingly with her movements, sending wafts of appealing perfume her way.
As the two faced each other, both were a bit startled, but it was Wen Jiangxue who recovered first, smiling with squinted eyes as she greeted, "Sweet Sister, what a coincidence."
Ji Tian: "..."
A coincidence?!
Someone who shouldn’t have been in this building at all appeared out of nowhere.
Puzzled, she asked, "Sister Jiangxue, what brings you to my brother’s company?"
"Hm? Mr. Ji is my boss, I’ve been signed with Ji Family’s Entertainment Subsidiary for a little while now, I came here to have a deep discussion about my work with Mr. Ji."
Wen Jiangxue smiled radiantly, all seriousness.
Ji Tian: "..."
Something felt off, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on it...
