After Switching Bodies, the Mad Overbearing CEO Takes Over the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 45: Chapter 45: The Face of an Angel, the Heart of a Devil

Bei Ning realized for the first time that Qin Jiangsheng was probably not as simple as he seemed on the surface.

Her face was pale, “I’m sorry, I was trapped in a nightmare.”

Bei Ning didn’t even have lunch at noon because she felt unwell and took a car home.

To reflect the meaning of this autumn outing, the school also arranged for students to prune the lush branches and sweep up the fallen leaves and other hands-on activities.

Ji Tian looked at the broom in her hand, resigned herself to her fate, and walked into the garden. Jian Chuyi, on the other hand, held a pair of scissors and chose to trim the lush branches.

Then Ji Tian found that some people were pruning, some were sweeping, some were doing both…

...

Just… crazy!

Quan Jingyou quickly locked onto her figure and came over with his phone.

“Sister Tian! Fight one more round! I’m really almost a master now.”

Hearing his voice, Ji Tian twitched the corners of her mouth and turned around, looking at him expressionlessly, “I already called it quits!”

Quan Jingyou’s eyes were teary, and his cute, steamed-bun face was full of aggrieved expressions, “Do you really have to torture me like this? I’m just five points away, and you won’t even take me for one round.”

Ji Tian was speechless for a moment and couldn’t understand how the internet-addict Quan Jingyou in this book also became the protagonist’s lapdog. Could it be that Shen Zhiyi got him hooked by taking him on gaming sessions, winning him over completely?

She stuck to her principle, “I quit the game, I’m going to sweep.”

“I’ll help you sweep.”

The next second, a broom was thrust into Quan Jingyou’s hands, and Qin Jiangsheng’s indifferent voice rang out, “Go sweep.”

Quan Jingyou was stunned for a moment and then threw the broom on the ground, “Move aside, I’m helping Sister Tian sweep, so she’ll take me gaming, stop causing a fuss here.”

Although he wasn’t familiar with Qin Jiangsheng, because of Bai Tingyu, he couldn’t get too close to him, and even had to keep a few meters away to avoid suspicion.

He wouldn’t even stand with Qin Jiangsheng if it weren’t for Ji Tian being here.

Qin Jiangsheng glanced at his phone and said indifferently, “Sweep for me, and I’ll take you gaming.”

Quan Jingyou: “?”

He was incredulous, “You’re full of it, you know how to play games?”

“I know a little,” he replied tersely, summing it up in one sentence.

It gave the impression of an authoritative “believe it or not, I couldn’t care less.”

Quan Jingyou glanced at Ji Tian again; she shrugged and said earnestly, “I really quit the game.”

Torn between ranking up and sweeping, he picked up Qin Jiangsheng’s broom and muttered a threat, “I’ll test your skills later, mess this up and you’re done for.”

So there he was, puffing and panting, sweeping for Qin Jiangsheng.

Ji Tian chuckled, “You know how to play games?”

“No.”

Her laughter grew louder, “So you’re just messing with him?”

Qin Jiangsheng shook his head, “I can learn.”

Saying this, he actually started looking up videos about the game, appearing quite serious about it.

Ji Tian didn’t want to crush his confidence, after all, it had taken her half a year to learn that game herself, securing the top spot in her district before she really got tired of it and quit.

“Little sis, what are you guys doing here? Shall we do it together?”

Ji Weinan’s voice rang out; Ji Tian followed the sound and saw Ji Weinan happily walking over with Shen Zhiyi beside her.

Ji Weinan held a black plastic bag in her hand, while Shen Zhiyi held a broom, looking like they paired up to work together.

But…

Ji Weinan normally wouldn’t touch these chores; she found them dirty, and it was likely that in front of Shen Zhiyi, she didn’t want to reveal her pampered side.

Shen Zhiyi glanced at Ji Tian and then turned to Qin Jiangsheng, her smile brimming with energy, “Can I join you?”

Her self-assured demeanor had completely forgotten the unpleasantness with Ji Tian from a few days ago.

Ji Tian replied with a half-smile, “No, you can’t.”

Shen Zhiyi: “…”

In her heart, that day’s event was just a blip, something to be forgotten, yet even as a daughter of a wealthy family, she seemed to have no magnanimity.

She pursed her lips, her spirited eyes slightly sad, glanced at Ji Weinan, and said with her head low, “I’m sorry, I know you don’t like me, I’ll leave now.”

Ji Weinan quickly grabbed her arm, and Shen Zhiyi looked up at him, her almond eyes still holding back a faint glimmer of tears.

“Ji Tian!” Ji Weinan yelled angrily.

Ji Tian, speechless, said, “Why are you shouting so loudly? I can hear you.”

“You!” His frustration built, “What did Zhiyi ever do to you for you to target her like this?”

Ji Tian couldn’t help but laugh out of irritation, “Who is she to me that I must indulge her? When she accused me of using money to shame Bei Ning and looking down on the poor, I didn’t see you come out to defend my honor.”

Ji Weinan pressed his lips together, and after one final glance at Shen Zhiyi, he said, “She didn’t really do anything to you. I’ve heard her side of the story, she said it wasn’t intentional. Why must you hold onto such a small matter? It’s in the past now, you’re in the same class, classmates, who knows, you may even become friends in the future.”

Friends?

Ji Tian would never be friends with Shen Zhiyi.

Moreover, she wanted everyone to know she didn’t like Shen Zhiyi, didn’t want anything to do with her.

Friends…

Would that not just hasten the bankruptcy of the Ji Family?

Invite a wolf into the den?

Changing the plotline was truly exhausting for Ji Tian.

She didn’t want to argue with Ji Weinan, so she nodded noncommittally, “Yeah, yeah, right.”

To her surprise, Ji Weinan, the foolishly naive one, even smiled, “That’s right, it would be great to be good friends in the future.”

Ji Tian: “…”

Shen Zhiyi: “…”

Shen Zhiyi stayed as if it was the natural course of events; she had no intention of leaving anyway. She slightly curve her lips into a smile, finding Ji Weinan incredibly easy to manipulate. Her target was Qin Jiangsheng.

He sat on the bench, scrolling through his phone, and Shen Zhiyi noticed Ji Tian and Jian Chuyi sweeping fallen leaves on the other side.

Seemingly by accident, she swept some leaves towards him, her eyes briefly catching the game video on his screen. She had heard of the game but never played it.

She wasn’t fond of gaming, but still pretended to be surprised, “Oh, you like this game too? I’ve been playing it recently.”

Qin Jiangsheng looked up, his facial features refined, strikingly handsome without being effeminate. Shen Zhiyi’s heart raced every time she saw Qin Jiangsheng’s face.

The face of an angel, the heart of a devil.

That was Qin Jiangsheng.

In this book, there was no one more absolute than Qin Jiangsheng.

Shen Zhiyi didn’t believe what 008 had told her; how could a person have no heart, not understand love? She believed that as long as she warmed his heart, she would eventually succeed.

His eyes, a cool shade of tea, were indifferent, and he parted his thin lips to speak, “Get lost.”

Shen Zhiyi’s face stiffened, but thinking of his later portrayal as a wanton villain, cold-hearted and ruthless, she gradually came to accept his unlikeable character.

She still maintained a smile, “Can I play with you? Oh, and I saw Ji Tian tutoring you in the garden recently. My grades are fairly decent, do you need my help?”

Her eyes were sincere, not intimidated by his coldness.

At this deliberate attempt to ingratiate herself, Qin Jiangsheng half-lifted his eyelids, his voice cold as he asked, “How do you want to play?”
