After Switching Bodies, the Mad Overbearing CEO Takes Over the Entertainment Industry Chapter 155: 155: Success Comes from Acquired Efforts, So Ta
Chapter 155: Chapter 155: Success Cos from Acquired Efforts, So Take a Break for the Next Two Days
Shen Zhiyi gently pursed her lips and smiled modestly, “You flatter . If I were to switch to the humanities, I’m not sure I could be number one. The questions on the learning software are random, and I was just lucky to get the simpler humanities questions, so it was not stressful to answer them.”
A few simple sentences, and everyone around was praising Shen Zhiyi for her modesty, calm, and dedication, along with mostly complaints from others.
“Damn it, I definitely have to study for twenty hours today. I’ll sleep for the remaining four!”
“With your ranking at fiftieth in the grade, can you even sleep? Every minute you sleep, soone behind you will surpass you on a question!”
“Wuwuwu, why are there only twenty-four hours in a day? Why can’t it be seventy-two? It’s not enough ti to study at all.”
Jian Chuyi: “…”
Ji Tian: “…”
Jian Chuyi sighed helplessly, “Everyone’s gone mad, huh? Studying until there’s no need for sleep? How is anyone supposed to live?”
“Tiantian, I’m suddenly so grateful that you’re my deskmate. You don’t make feel anxious. Wuwuwu.”
Ji Tian: “…”
She responded with a forced laugh, “That’s not what you used to say. You told to stop playing gas and sleeping because it was affecting your studies.”
Jian Chuyi’s eyes welled with tears, “Wuwuwu, I have seen the error of my ways. In my youth, I didn’t realize slack was good and mistook Internal Competition Value for treasure. Tiantian, from now on, I’ll sleep and play with you. I only have one request—teach how to study, thank you.”
“…”
Polite, but nothing more.
The ceremony had moved on to the dark horse awards for each grade. After quickly going through the juniors, it was Ji Tian’s turn.
“Next, we invite Ji Tian to co up and give a speech.”
Under the gaze of thousands, Ji Tian walked up to the stage.
This also allowed the boys who usually only dared to glance at her from afar to openly stare at her, for she was beautiful, but her family was too wealthy, deterring many, which resulted in Ji Tian not having a single male classmate confess to her during her two years of high school other than Qin Jiangsheng.
The principal cheerfully looked at her, “Please introduce yourself to your classmates first.”
Ji Tian: “…”
Why doesn’t the person before need to introduce himself, but I have to?
So she said, “Hello everyone, I’m Ji Tian from class two year one. My hobbies are eating, sleeping, and playing gas.”
The principal stood beside her, “…”
His face almost split with an awkward smile, “Our Ji Tian is really a breath of fresh air at our school, and it’s because she’s so relaxed that she performs so well, right?”
“Ahh? I wasn’t even interested in studying; it was all for the money.”
“…”
“Cough.” He looked at the silent crowd and ntally crowned Ji Tian as the “queen of killing the mood.”
He was at a loss for words, utterly unable to respond.
Changing the subject, he said, “Well, even so, your excellent performance is undeniable. People say success cos from hard work. Why not share your studying experience with the others?”
Ji Tian was surprised, “Studying experience? I don’t have any, but Principal, I agree with your statent that success cos from hard work. So let’s rest for the next two days.”
Principal: “???”
When had he ever said such a thing?
Mind kept saying, “Hold it in, this is Mr. Ji’s sister, change the topic now!”
“Hehe…” The principal chuckled, “Ji Tian, you’re really humorous. Is there anything inspirational you’d like to say to the students below?”
Ji Tian thought for a mont, looked up at the eager eyes around her wishing she could spill all her study experiences so they could out-compete others.
On them, Ji Tian seed to see her forr self…
That zeal to out-compete others, which ultimately led to her own sudden demise.
She sighed deeply, aningfully saying, “There are always people who think that by studying while others rest, they can get ahead; what are you exciting yourself for? The clever ones, even if they don’t attend classes, can still top the charts, like our Qin Jiangsheng; he moved from the second-to-last to the top 500 without ever seeming to study in class.”
Qin Jiangsheng, suddenly ntioned, looked up towards her in the crowd, sensed the gaze on him, and gave a slight glance, “Need to lose sleep to study? Only the useless do that.”
Everyone: “…”
Damn, that felt insulting.
“All things can’t be resolved by competing; let put it this way, you can’t even sleep well, how are you supposed to ‘out-sleep’ others? Study needs to be balanced with breaks. Don’t just roll into study obliviously and overwork yourself to death. We need to learn to consolidate ourselves; what’s ant to co is on its way.”
At last, Ji Tian clenched her fist with an inspiring look, “I always thought that I had to leave my comfort zone; now, I just want to expand it. Thank you everyone, that’s all I have to say.”
The principal: “…”
Listening to her speech was like hearing an awakening.
The students looked at each other, hearing for the first ti that they didn’t need to compete so fiercely in studies. Yet, in this leading school in Capital City, the study atmosphere was incredibly tense, and with the lead of the top student, no one dared to relax.
They completely forgot, studying shouldn’t be so exhausting. They even rushed to leave school faster than others, as if that would help them retain more knowledge.
But the scores they got were more or less the sa and the anxiety was self-imposed, almost making them forget the tis walking shoulder to shoulder with classmates on the campus paths, accompanied by a warm breeze and the setting sun.
Soone sighed, “Man, I must get so early sleep today. I’ve been sleeping only about four or five hours for a week, so tired.”
“Yeah, why should I see Shen Zhiyi as a benchmark? It’s exhausting , can’t compete and it even makes my hair fall out in frustration. Annoying; I should know when to study and when to play, let’s just leave it at that.”
“Let’s live well, after all, those destined to die can’t escape, wu wu wu.”
In an instant, it seed like more than half of them understood, thereby sidelining the school’s slackers who knew only how to eat, drink, and be rry.
From the stage, Shen Zhiyi’s gaze turned towards Ji Tian.
Her hand clenched tight beside her.
How could just a few words ruin all her efforts!
She had finally driven the school into a competitive frenzy, stirring everyone to compete without yielding, even if it ant studying themselves to death was just fate.
Because unlike these people, she didn’t need to study so hard; she just needed to create an illusion of effort to harvest a lot of Internal Competition Value.
She was clever, practically Never Forget; learning anything fast so she hardly felt tired, her focus mostly on the anti-cancer agent with Ji Qilin. Give her another two months, and she would succeed, becoming a distinguished guest among capital’s elites.
Her brilliant life was just beginning.
Shen Zhiyi took a deep breath to stabilize herself; even if relaxed montarily, she could still drive others to continue competing.
She turned her head to see how many had been persuaded by Ji Tian.
The next second, she saw a man beside her staring intensely at Ji Tian, his eyes filled with obsession which was astonishing; he clenched his fist tightly, suppressing the quivers of excitent all over.
Shen Zhiyi looked at his school badge: Xu Rang.
Her eyes widened in shock; wasn’t this the maniac who almost killed the original Ji Tian in the story?
