After Switching Bodies, the Mad Overbearing CEO Takes Over the Entertainment Industry-Chapter 206 - 203: The Fate of the Ji Family
Chapter 206: Chapter 203: The Fate of the Ji Family
What could Dean Zhang possibly say...
He had stated that interview conditions weren’t limited to high school students. Wouldn’t it seem like he has character issues if he suddenly went back on his word?
So, he nodded, "Alright..."
I’ll just consider it a trip for fun by Eldest Miss Ji.
After he left, Ji Qilin’s gaze swiftly swept over everyone, "Are you all so idle?"
They finally realized, and each returned to their own duties.
Shen Zhiyi walked up to Ji Tian with a smile and, in a voice audible only to them, said, "Why do you hate me so much? I don’t think I’ve ever harmed you, and if it’s about your third brother’s stuff with me that’s bothering you, well, I’m not involved with him anymore, so can you let it go?"
Ji Tian couldn’t help but let out a soft laugh. Let it go?
She slightly curled her lips, "Shen Zhiyi, whether I have my third brother or not doesn’t affect your ultimate goal, does it? You have something to pursue, and I have something to protect."
A shock ran through Shen Zhiyi’s heart. She felt there was more to Ji Tian’s words and even sensed Ji Tian was aware of her origins and purposes. As she watched her walk towards Ji Qilin, the more she looked, the more panic stirred inside her.
"008, could Ji Tian be a character who has entered this book from another? Could she be? I’ve always said there’s something off about her. She’s different from the people of this world."
Shen Zhiyi frantically called out to 008 in her heart; she was almost going mad. Every critical moment for her seemed to be interrupted by some grasshopper jumping out to cause trouble.
was nearly at a loss for words, uncertain why Shen Zhiyi was so suspicious. According to its data, Ji Tian was a person from this world; there was no such thing as entering a book.
So it patiently explained, [Host, there is no need for excessive anxiety. My records show that the character ’Ji Tian’ is indeed from this original world. Perhaps it’s your impure motives that have led to her cautiousness.]
Shen Zhiyi: "..."
So, after all the blaming, it’s because of my impure motives?
Didn’t this damn system consider that my efforts to curry favor with these characters are for something? I do not wish to stay in this broken world for a second longer.
When she tumbled down the cliff, although she was uninjured under the protection of 008, she still lost consciousness for a while.
Perhaps this world really was in shambles, and some information she wasn’t supposed to know had entered her mind.
To put it bluntly, this world is a test subject. At the very end, its people lose consciousness, living life methodically like gears, going through the motions.
Even their daily conversations and behavioral patterns remained identical, perpetual, and unchanging.
Initially, Shen Zhiyi had wanted to make a name for herself here, but at this moment, she only wanted to flee. She did not want to become a cold puppet without consciousness, so the only way was to align the character trajectories.
She had the final outcomes for everyone.
The Ji Family’s was particularly tragic.
In the end, Ji Lingyun lost the company; the former tycoon vanished without a trace.
Ji Qilin strived for years to seek justice but was continuously thwarted by Bai Tingyu’s power, ultimately being crippled by Bai’s men for harboring malicious intent and attempting to stab him in the street.
Ji Weinan, the fool, debased himself for love, content to be an option, eventually unrequited. His psyche suffered, and after the Ji Family’s bankruptcy, he ended up homeless on the streets. He was arrested for intentional homicide, and in a twist of fate, Ji Tian took the fall for him, sentenced to death with a three-year reprieve.
And their parents, the most expendable of extras, died overseas without even complete bodies to recover, sunken to the ocean floor.
Dead or mad, that was the ultimate fate of the Ji Family.
And the Quan Family and Gong Family, once first-rate elites, also fell to market forces, demoted to third-rate enterprises.
The final victors were Bai Tingyu and Qin Jiangsheng.
The two battled to the end. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
After Ji Tian’s death, the world’s greatest antagonist, BOSS, staked everything and ultimately failed to break Bai Tingyu’s protagonist’s aura, falling into defeat, he disappeared.
This is Bai Tingyu’s world, everything crafted exclusively for him.
Including her, who was created to assist Bai Tingyu.
When she first read this book, she thought the plot was exhilarating, but experiencing it firsthand now, she found it lacked logic and was nonsensical.
"008, can you help me get into the KI Research Institute tomorrow?"
[I’ll do my best, but I can’t guarantee it because on your timeline, the KI Research Institute is a gray area.]
"Anyway, the plot is a mess, so what’s wrong with you helping me cheat?"
fell silent for a moment before responding: [I’ll do my best.]
"Zhiyi, what are you spacing out for? Hand the medicine to the team leader."
Shen Zhiyi snapped out of it and quickly complied, "Right away."
Time flew by quickly, and by noon, Ji Tian left the research institute to return home.
After lunch, passing by Ji Weinan’s room, she noticed he wasn’t as free as before, no longer going to Heavenly whenever he had the chance.
Quan Jingyou had recently become obsessed with practicing at the club, motivated by the last competition; he no longer went out to play whenever he could, and his other good friend, Gong Yu of the Gong Family, was strictly raised so aside from studying at home, he rarely had free time.
And Bai Tingyu, it seemed he was avoiding suspicion, not mingling with them either.
Now seriously studying at home, Ji Tian didn’t want to disturb him but went back to her room instead, turned on her computer, locked the door, logged into an account, and launched the learning software.
Shen Zhiyi suddenly received ten thousand points; this was either a glitch or someone’s doing.
She clicked to investigate and found someone had exploited a website vulnerability to artificially inflate her points.
Ji Tian casually clicked a few times, fixed the low-level vulnerability, and even set a timer, where one minute before midnight, the data would revert to its original state.
Feeling pleased and ready to log off, she noticed her computer was under attack from a hacker trying to trace her location through her network, unlike the previous one, this seemed to be more professional.
Ji Tian input a string of code, the person chased the false lead she provided, and content, Ji Tian safely logged off.
In a hotel in Capital City
Tang Yu, on his first day, had already noticed the hacker’s activity and was eager to catch her in the act, rubbing his hands together aim to find her and claim the money his boss had promised.
He smugly snapped a photo and sent it to the group of seven:
Prince You Yu: [Is that all? I thought they’d be stronger. I caught them on my first day; geez, such an easy mission. Boss, you’d better have my money ready, I’m outta here as soon as I’m done.]
Red Rose: [Huh? Moving up in the world, little brother, that fast, huh.]
Prince You Yu: [Heh, not bad, right? The basics are like taking candy from a baby. Rose, does my skill set match up to get into your research institute or what?]
Red Rose: [Not really a fit, little brother. I have guests, ttyl~]
Tang Yu scoffed lightly, and seeing no reply from Qin Jiangsheng, he hurried to unmask the hacker and report back.
Peeling back layer after layer of code, he was finally about to find her real IP address, but the destination he arrived at nearly broke his defenses.
He’d been played; the surveillance feed he pulled up showed a bustling women’s restroom, and he sank into thought...
