Rise and Slay: From Scandal Queen to Academic Genius - Chapter 200 - 181: Tell Ji Xizhi to Tone It Down
Chapter 200: Chapter 181: Tell Ji Xizhi to Tone It Down
[Is anyone puzzled? Ji Xizhi just finished recording “Escape Room” today, and several guests on Weibo have already helped promote it. Maybe it’s just the Escape Room guests! What’s so curious about that?]
[Exactly! We’re here to follow the variety show, not to dig into Zhi Zhi’s private life. Isn’t Uncle Wang’s public embarrassment enough for you to see?]
[Hahaha, so funny. Promoting on Weibo is just a courtesy; do you really think there’s true friendship in the entertainment industry? The Escape Room guests coming to help Ji Xizhi live stream “Life Experience” on the day of the program? Ask Director Xu, he wouldn’t agree!]
Some people in the live stream are already starting to refute. Many current viewers of “Life Experience” haven’t watched the live broadcast of “Escape Room,” but in the entertainment industry, who could record a show and make a friend who’d help you out that same night?
Quite a few people in the live stream were still speculating about who was in Ji Xizhi’s room.
Before the comment could be sent, the sound of “poo chi poo chi” gas leaking in the video grew louder.
By the end, no one could hold it in, and the three of them opened up, clutching their stomachs and laughing hysterically.
“The young man becomes Uncle, Uncle Wang has come back to life, hahaha~”
“Haha, Uncle Wang is so miserable, really so, so, so miserable!”
“Sorry, did we laugh too loudly and disturb your live streaming, Zhi Zhi?!”
The three were tangled up in laughter on the sofa until Qiu Lin got tired from laughing and weakly raised his head to ask Ji Xizhi.
Ji Xizhi responded, “It’s okay, no bother.”
After speaking, she glanced down at the live stream again.
[Whoa, it’s not just one person, it’s a group!]
[Mo Anxia, Qiu Lin, and Le Qiqi, I heard the three of them!!! @Ji Xizhi, am I right?!]
[Brilliant, Ji Xizhi brought a guest from one variety show to watch another, the square dance uncles teaming up for a variety show, love it~]
Seeing the fans’ questions in the live stream, Ji Xizhi, who was always prompt to answer her fans, immediately said, “Yes, it’s Mo Anxia, Qiu Lin, and Le Qiqi, all here to watch the variety show together.”
After responding to the fans, “Life Experience” just happened to enter an advertisement break.
Mo Anxia, Qiu Lin, and Le Qiqi unwillingly shifted their gaze from the TV and, hearing Ji Xizhi interacting with fans, simply went up to the live camera to say hello.
The three appeared one after another in Ji Xizhi’s shot.
When Qiu Lin greeted, he inadvertently glanced at the comments in the bullet screen and happened to spot an unknown one.
[All came to watch the variety show? Sounds fake! It’s just promotion!]
Qiu Lin gave a sly smile, “We really just came to watch the variety show. Ji Xizhi’s show is genuinely good, nothing else to it.”
Le Qiqi beside her further proved the attractiveness of “Life Experience” with her actions.
Her eyes sparkling, she scooted closer to Ji Xizhi, “Zhi Zhi, can you give me Director Wang’s contact information? Let’s cut to the chase.”
If earlier she just casually wanted to play with Ji Xizhi, now after a segment of the show, she couldn’t wait any longer. She was set on being a guest!
[The young lady has been in the entertainment industry for two years and hasn’t found another show interesting besides Escape Room!]
[Let’s be precise, it’s not the variety show she’s interested in, but Ji Xizhi~]
[That’s fake as well, everything’s fake. If he’s not there next March 15th, I’m not watching!]
The news of Mo Anxia, Qiu Lin, and Le Qiqi appearing on Ji Xizhi’s live stream quickly spread across the internet.
The fans of the three, who initially thought their idols were promoting Ji Xizhi’s show out of friendship, were now seeing them sitting on the sofa in the live broadcast, being pinned to the top of trending searches.
Fans of the three: …? They’re really watching!!!
Without hesitation, they all jumped in.
They parachuted into Ji Xizhi’s live stream, forming orderly lines and politely greeting Ji Xizhi’s fans while happily watching the variety show with their own idols~
The viewership of Ji Xizhi’s live stream began to soar.
Next door, Zhong Yulu, watching the finely edited clip of herself cooking fish in the show, was feeling pleased. She instinctively glanced at the live stream.
Just one glance.
And saw Ji Xizhi’s live stream viewership explode.
Zhong Yulu: “???” What did she do this time?
Switching phones, Zhong Yulu watched silently as three new guests appeared in Ji Xizhi’s live stream.
Among them was Le Qiqi, whom she hadn’t even interacted with? Ji Xizhi sure knows how to find connections!
Zhong Yulu sneered slightly; she really dares.
Recording Escape Room, yet bringing its guests to promote “Life Experience.” Who knows if Director Xu will still let her stay in the industry!
–
Meanwhile, Director Xu, having just settled his feelings for the day and barely catching his breath, saw the trending hashtags on Weibo #EscapeRoomGuestsWatchVarietyShowLifeExperience# and #SquareDanceUnclesTeamUpVarietyShow#.
Director Xu: …
Tonight, he won’t catch a breath after all.
He jumped up from his hotel room, put on a jacket, and headed to Ji Xizhi’s live stream.
The doorbell rang just as Ji Xizhi and the others were watching the show. Since Mo Anxia, Qiu Lin, and Le Qiqi said hello in the live stream, they were laughing even louder without restraint, resembling geese.
Director Xu had initially intended to ask Ji Xizhi to tone it down a bit! How could they let the show’s guests promote Old Wang’s show?!
But upon entering and seeing Director Wang on the large TV screen in various frustrated and defeated slow-motion gestures.
Director Xu thought: Huh? Why not let them?
Ji Xizhi was still live streaming, but recalling Director Xu’s hesitant demeanor at the door earlier, she worried there might be something important, so she proactively asked, “Director Xu, is there something you need? If it’s inconvenient here, we can go next door. Linxin’s room or Qiqi’s room would work.”
She could catch up on the show later.
After Ji Xizhi asked.
Director Xu took a while to respond, his eyes glued to the TV, deeply resonating with the urge to mock Director Wang overwhelming his mind.
Director Xu: “Oh, nothing much, go on with your stuff.”
With that, he sidestepped to the sofa with a crab-like walk, but unfortunately, Mo Anxia and the others occupied it entirely, and Ji Xizhi’s chair held the live stream phone and tripod.
No seats left.
Director Xu looked at Ji Xizhi, trying to signal her with his gaze to find him a spot, realizing it’s inconvenient to speak up during the live stream.
Ji Xizhi, completely missing the signal, asked: “Director Xu, is there really nothing?”
Director Xu: “…” Forget it.
He simply sat cross-legged on the rug with his back against that familiar prosthetic from the program team.
Director Xu forced a smile: All this just to see Old Wang’s misfortune, he’s determined!
From the moment Director Xu entered to when he sat down, barely three minutes had passed. Fans of every kind in Ji Xizhi’s live stream watched as his expression changed like a kaleidoscope, greatly entertained by the sight.
[ @Director Wang, your partner is here! Watching your misfortune (not, supporting your show!)]
[True love, Uncle CP is true love. As I expected, isn’t Director Xu leaning on the morning’s prosthetic? A tough guy~]
[For a moment, I can’t tell who cringed more, Director Wang or Director Xu, with their toes curling into bigger Barbie castles!]
[Who said earlier that Director Xu wouldn’t agree to Escape Room guests promoting Life Experience? Does this look like disagreement???]
Director Xu’s arrival pushed “Life Experience” to its peak in popularity.
Although Director Wang didn’t seem as thrilled as imagined.
Director Wang: Heh! Whatever, I’ll be watching Escape Room!!!
The two directors engaged in a distant love-hate relationship over here.
Ji Xizhi and the others didn’t care at all, quietly watching the show.
Meanwhile, on another app, a small-time game streamer with some followers updated with a new video.
