Rise and Slay: From Scandal Queen to Academic Genius - Chapter 208 - 189: Fans Can’t Be Scammed Either!
Chapter 208: Chapter 189: Fans Can’t Be Scammed Either!
Ah Lu knew long ago that the entertainment industry is full of monsters and demons trying to harm her family, Ji Xizhi, but she didn’t expect the people coming over to be so brazen, even fishing for them here.
They even calculated it right — it’s what she wanted most: fame!
If it had been someone unfamiliar with Ji Xizhi today, this matter wouldn’t have been settled; after all, just not responding already gives them what they want without requiring lies.
The more Ah Lu thought, the more she felt the opposition was scheming meticulously.
She packed and sent the evidence to Ji Xizhi, wanting Ji Xizhi to think of a way; if they could catch the mastermind and sue him, it would be great!
But Ji Xizhi! She actually! Only saw fraud?!
Ah Lu, frustrated, said: Zhi Zhi! Did you even notice that this person came to smear you? He paid privately to tarnish your reputation!
Ji Xizhi: I’m not worth that much money! Don’t be fooled.
Ah Lu: ?
Ah Lu: You’re worth it!
After saying that, Ah Lu turned around and posted a screenshot for a clarification on Weibo.
No matter what, they can’t let rumors fly wild.
Ghost-playing Ah Lulu: #Ji XizhiDoesn’tGetAlongWithExtras# Who represents me, who represents our disagreement? Interesting! Dining and learning with @JiXizhi, moved so much I didn’t want to leave, but couldn’t stay?! Plus, Xiao Yuan hit and made me cry, what a vivid imagination! Today, I just scared Xiao Yuan into tears, thanks a lot! Stay away from my Zhi Zhi, monsters and demons!
The accompanying picture is the screenshot of that private message just now.
Not too long ago, netizens were just using screenshots from the escape room to imply Ji Xizhi was being high-handed and bullying extras, then suddenly the extras themselves came out fighting.
[Damn, some people are still causing trouble, huh? Such obvious haters, is it Hangxing Entertainment? I’m mad!]
[Really strange, when that entry came out, I felt something was off. Ji Xizhi only doesn’t get along with criminals, but whom else doesn’t she get along with?]
[Too vicious; without saying anything, you can get money and resources. Too shady!]
[Maybe the mastermind didn’t consider that big stars can actually get along well with extras! My Zhi Zhi doesn’t care at all!]
[Quick derail, I’m really curious, top superstar and extras, what are they learning?]
[Yeah, could it be public relations? Who can’t photoshop screenshots?]
After Ah Lu posted on Weibo, there were still attempts to stir trouble inside.
Things like being bought off, not daring to go against Ji Xizhi, etc.
Ah Lu directly posted the original photo of the hater, holding the bags of local products.
Ghost-playing Ah Lulu: These are specialties sent from Lishui County with Ji Xizhi; whose family relationships are bad while carrying gifts away?
Ah Lu discovered this blind spot and blocked all the tactics of those water army members.
Previously, they could spin it as extras giving gifts to Ji Xizhi, but now with this gift packaging…
It’s truly specialty gift boxes from Lishui County.
There are also fans who went to Lishui County’s official poverty alleviation live stream to check; indeed, it’s the same.
Even the official account of “Life Experience” quickly gave a small response.
Life Experience V: Ji Xizhi indeed received “quite a bit” of local specialties; next episode, everyone tune in to see how much favoritism Lishui County shows Ji Xizhi~
Multiple loopholes hammered in, and water army members had no words left to smear.
Ji Xizhi also went online during this time; she didn’t care whether it was a smearing issue, just Ah Lu insisted she clarify on Weibo anyway.
Ji Xizhi stared at the screenshot Ah Lu sent over, pondering for a moment, thinking maybe she should as well.
Ji Xizhi went online and directly forwarded Ah Lu’s Weibo post.
Forward//Ji Xizhi V: Beware of fraud, starting with each of us.
[??? Stunned, is this about fraud?]
[Got it! Don’t click on private message links, don’t connect with phone scams~]
[Understood understoond~ Don’t panic when encountering scams, seek help from the police uncle~]
Ah Lu called Ji Xizhi online over and over, and this is the result?
Ah Lu: ?
Ji Xizhi: Fans also must not be scammed!
Ah Lu: …logical and factual.
Ah Lu found it both amusing and exasperating, so she simply posted her conversation records with Ji Xizhi on Weibo, noting: Number one fan-loving person!
[Laughed so hard, I knew it! Zhi Zhi: What about paid smears against me? Not important, what’s important is he is defrauding people! Don’t be fooled by it!]
[Deeply pampered, never felt this attentive before, already pulling in my grandpa and grandma to fan Ji Xizhi!]
[Not worth one million? You are worth it, you are worth it, you are super worth it, if a million can buy Zhi Zhi, I’d shell out 30 million on the spot!]
[Human trafficking, done deal, upstairs you’re finished! Ah ha ha, Zhi Zhi is mine!]
[Speaking of which, a friendly reminder to all who act as water army haters: be cautious too, watch out for scams! Plenty run off without paying, you might even end up facing a lawsuit!]
Water army members secretly watching the screen and looking for opportunities: ?!
Cut to the chat group.
Damn! Just finished topping off membership out of pocket, money hasn’t even been handed over yet, and the group’s already disbanded???
–
Not long after Ah Lu posted her Weibo, several extras from the escape room each followed up by forwarding it.
The extras from the escape room also took advantage of this wave of popularity, posting photos of themselves reading books and watching videos to study, all featuring forensic, autopsy reports, and other related material videos and books.
Extras: Thanks to Teacher Zhi Zhi for the guidance, working hard~
Fans watched and found it both familiar and affectionate.
[Here she comes, here she comes again! Next stop’s arrival, the extras’ industry starts, the hustle king did not deceive me!]
[Putting on ghost makeup, learning forensics to study corpses, is it okay?! Truly *professional matching!]
[Ji Xizhi somewhat plays out the legal industry thoroughly, it’s already branched out~]
[Laughed until I cried, online: extras don’t get along with Ji Xizhi, reality: Teacher Ji offers direct guidance for extras’ makeup! Surface: Extras are bullied terribly by Ji Xizhi! Reality: Leaving work in half a day is very satisfying!]
[Director Xu: Calculating around, seems like I’m the only one losing out, huh!]
[No worries, next episode’s guest keeping company with Director Xu; I believe the next escape room episode will be very scary! I’m excited now!]
…
The reversal of Weibo rumors, Ji Xizhi’s side clarified with countless gags, mixed with heat from “Life Experience” and “Escape Room” aired episodes.
In the past, the industry only knew spreading fake news by mouth, clearing up rumors with broken legs, but with Ji Xizhi, it’s carpet-style gag clearing.
Rumors? Who knows what remote corner they’ve gone to.
The president of Hangxing Entertainment, President Huang, feels that ever since Ji Xizhi left their company, she became like a nemesis to them; as Ji Xizhi develops better, Hangxing Entertainment becomes increasingly miserable, now having financial chain issues.
It was also a paparazzi staking out other artists, happened to catch Ji Xizhi, and broke the news with a scoop.
An extra just affected by Ji Xizhi, still had no chances to show his face, even offered a million and could sign as an artist development, yet couldn’t stop him from speaking for Ji Xizhi?
Even speaking of fraud!
President Huang feels his brain hemorrhage is recurring.
Is the entertainment industry going insane?
President Huang’s head aches, and the phone on his desk rings again.
“President Huang.”
A male voice comes from the phone.
Upon hearing the voice, President Huang becomes increasingly frustrated.
“Little President Ji, you know Ji Xizhi isn’t easy to handle, who knew she could even preemptively public relations just a mere acquaintance extra!”
“I need to see results from our cooperation,” the voice of Ji Fengyuan from the phone carries a hint of reprimand, “If Ji Family can’t handle even Deep Sea Interactive Entertainment and Ji Xizhi, Ji Family needs to reconsider fully.”
Upon hearing this, President Huang hastily assures: “Of course not, Deep Sea Interactive Entertainment is nothing but a startup skeleton, Ji Xizhi… on her side, ultimately isn’t really an industry insider, not worth a mention.”
Ji Fengyuan: “Whether she is or isn’t, I don’t want to see her being disruptive anymore!”
President Huang: “Of course, I’ve poached the newcomers Deep Sea Interactive Entertainment intended to sign, all that is secured!”
“As for Ji Xizhi, I’ve got the trump card; given more time, I promise a complete resolution.”
“Non-industry people shouldn’t come meddle in the circle.”
President Huang’s eyes narrow slightly, and he slowly opens the drawer. Inside the drawer lies the material left when Ji Xizhi signed with the company.
