After Switching Bodies, the Mad Overbearing CEO Takes Over the Entertainment Industry-Chapter 219 - 215: Not Old in Age, but Drawing a Big Pie

Ji Tian and the others arrived just in time to see Ji Lingyun driving back.

The black Pagani exuded an overwhelming presence.

Ji Weinan saw Ji Tian staring and thought she wanted the car, he snorted softly, "Wanting big brother’s car, huh? Don’t even think about it, it’s a limited edition; there’s only one in Capital City. As much as big brother dotes on you, I don’t think he’d let go of his beloved car. When I make money later, I’ll buy you one."

Ji Tian: "..."

"Not big on age, but big on promises."

"...I’m serious."

"If you were second brother, I’d believe you, but as for you... let’s talk when you’ve actually done it."

Ji Weinan looked at her with a hurt expression, gesturing with his hands, pulling them apart as if to signify breaking something: "Time to break up our friendship, then."

"Okay."

"Hey, are you really that heartless?"

"Mhm."

After Ji Lingyun got out of the car, he saw them still dawdling behind and frowned, "What are you waiting for, not coming inside?"

"Ow, coming." Ji Tian obediently trotted over to Ji Lingyun’s side.

He was neatly dressed in a suit, his shoes polished to a shine, and then he glanced at the luxury watch on his wrist, "I have a dinner appointment with a client at Heavenly at six o’clock. After I discuss the project, I’ll take you guys and your cousin out for a meal, you all should take good care of our cousin who has come from afar."

The three walked to the door and heard conversation coming from inside; Ji Qilin was sitting on a single sofa, and the "cousin" had lifted a wooden stool to sit beside Ji Qilin. He was wearing a festive red sweater, light brown loose jeans, had very fair skin, slightly curly hair, and typical puppy dog eyes that looked clean and innocent when they gazed at someone.

At this moment, he was non-stop chattering, to which Ji Qilin responded with polite smiles and occasional replies.

"Oh, right, Brother Qilin, when you’re free, you really should visit us in Central Continent. I can take you tomb raiding; the mechanisms are all set by our Tang Clan, they’re easy to unlock." Tang Yu popped cherries into his mouth with genuine sincerity in his eyes.

Ji Qilin felt his smile hard to maintain. In just half an hour, he felt both his body and mind tormented. He had never met anyone more talkative than Tang Yu.

He went from designing a mechanism to trap birds when he was a kid, being praised as a genius by his family, to still wetting his pants at five, to accidentally blowing up an anthill with fireworks, and now offering to take him tomb raiding!

Taking a deep breath, he replied, "Sorry, definitely next time, I’m a bit busy with work here."

Tang Yu looked disappointed and resigned, "That’s a pity; you won’t get to see my lock picking skills then."

Ji Tian and the others heard his last sentence as they walked in; he really was a lock picking master!

It wasn’t until they saw Ji Lingyun that Ji Qilin for the first time found his big brother so adorably handsome, and he quickly stood up to pass Tang Yu, the chatterbox, over to Ji Lingyun, "Big brother, you’re back. Let me introduce him to you, he’s from the Tang Family, Tang Yu."

Ji Lingyun nodded in greeting and extended his hand, "Hello, it’s sudden to meet you like this, I wasn’t prepared with any greeting gift. Let’s go to Ya Garden and have a meal on me tonight."

Tang Yu became much more reserved when he saw Ji Lingyun, due to the latter’s strong presence that made him somewhat wary. After wiping his hands on his clothes, he reached out with a smile, "Cousin, sorry to startle you with my sudden visit. As an apology, I brought a small gift for each of you."

He handed a light grey gold-rimmed jade bowl with golden dragon carvings to Ji Lingyun. Ji Tian’s eyes widened at first glance, recognizing it as a flawless genuine bowl used by an Emperor from the Han Dynasty.

He scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, "I don’t know if you’ll like it, I had my dad randomly ship one over from home."

The Ji Family of four: "..."

Definitely random.

Inestimably valuable.

"This is too precious," Ji Lingyun politely declined, even for the Tang Family, giving such a thing would be a considerable expense.

Yet, Tang Yu hurriedly shook his head, "Not precious at all, not at all, we have lots of them. I broke I don’t know how many when I was a kid, got quite a few beatings from my dad, heh."

Everyone: "..."

What a display of opulence.

Ji Weinan couldn’t help but ask, "Your family has so many antiques? Where did they come from?"

"Don’t worry, they all came through legitimate channels, handed down from my ancestors. The older generations liked to help others unlock things, and they received these as payment."

Ji Tian: "..."

Did they go grave robbing?

Who in their right mind gives away a bowl once used by the Emperor as a gift?

"Thank you very much," Ji Lingyun accepted the antique, quite fond of it. He walked alone to the shelf where the antiques were placed, took down an item he once cherished, and put the bowl in its place.

"As for the second brother, I’ll gift you a basket of stones."

"Stones?" Ji Qilin was puzzled.

Tang Yu nodded his head, "Yes, they were air-shipped over from my home. We have a mine that specially produces jade and these stones are for sale. Emmm, people outside refer to them as ’Gambling Stone’. There are many rare jades in this basket of stones. Considering how busy you are with work, have some fun smashing them, it’ll be a distraction."

Ji Qilin became interested: "Could they reveal Black Emperor Jade?"

He nodded, "Perhaps there is, but I’m not certain. These are all stones that have been appraised by our family’s appraiser, ensuring the quality of the jade inside is not poor."

"Many thanks to cousin Tang Yu."

Tang Yu laughed and waved his hand, "It’s no big deal, as long as you guys are happy."

"What about me? Cousin!" Ji Weinan’s face was full of eagerness as he eagerly rubbed his hands together, calling out "Cousin" quite attentively.

"You have one too. Since you’re still in high school, I’ve collected the best high school exam papers from around the world for you to practice, as well as book analyses for multiple languages, and even included a collection of instructional videos—guaranteed to watch and learn, useful for your overall improvement."

Ji Weinan’s smile froze on his face.

"My dad even said to give you a set of diamond-carved Saiyan figures, but I thought it’s too vulgar and can interfere with your studies, so I rejected it outright, wanting to give you the best gift."

If before his smile was stiff, now it was utterly shattered.

Diamonds! Saiyans! A whole set!

Small and large, in various transformation stages and actions, there must be at least seventy or eighty pieces.

Gone because of a single sentence...

His youth was gone...

"Wuwuwu, I want the Saiyans," Ji Weinan said, eyes reddening as he looked up at him, truly crying.

"Ah, this..." Tang Yu scratched his head, "Don’t you like these books?"

"I..."

"No, he likes them," Ji Tian cut in, interrupting what Ji Weinan was about to say. "He loves studying, cousin, you’ve hit right where his heart is, so what about mine?"

Her gaze was earnest, and she called out even more sincerely than Ji Weinan, an air of "cousin above all else" about her.

"You have one too. I wasn’t sure what you girls like, so how about a card that gives you a ninety percent discount on global gold jewelry?" As he spoke, he took out a card colored in black and gold from his pocket, which could be described as having a very "high gold content."

"You could even get gold jewelry worth a few thousand or around ten thousand for free, do you like it?" Tang Yu passed it over.

What was the difference between a ninety percent discount and a broken bone?

Ji Tian was on the verge of tears—it’s all about money!

Tears welling in her eyes, she looked at Tang Yu, "Cousin, you’ll forever be my cousin!"
