Rise and Slay: From Scandal Queen to Academic Genius - Chapter 213 - 194: Do You Know What Book You Should Be Reading Now?

Chapter 213: Chapter 194: Do You Know What Book You Should Be Reading Now?

Ji Xizhi sat in the nanny car and left not long ago.

The photographer who just finished collaborating with her couldn’t wait to go online and gleefully posted a Weibo.

Photographer Ke Ming V: Today was my first collaboration with Teacher Ji Xizhi; it was incredibly delightful! Thank heaven for the opportunity; I’m super-duper happy (spinning) (jumping)~

On Weibo, news from a few days ago about Ji Xizhi sweeping through a bunch of photographers was still circulating.

A lot of fans felt ecstatic after reading the news and liked it madly for Zhi Zhi. But once they came to their senses, many started to worry.

The relationship between photographers and celebrities can be described as mutually beneficial. Many powerful photographers within the industry are pursued and sought after by artists for collaboration. Some even form alliances. Since Ji Xizhi agreed with Director Fan to shoot this charity legal awareness magazine cover, she naturally needed a photographer. What kind of photographer would be next? Do they have a background? Will they bully… oh no, will they make Zhi Zhi unhappy?

Though Ji Xizhi is unlikely to be bullied, the fans’ protective instincts were strong. Ever since a few days ago, they’ve been leaving team comments under Fan Ci’s director Weibo.

Words earnest, attitude genuine, requesting Director Fan to be mindful in choosing photographers for collaboration.

In fact, Fan Ci had already anticipated the likelihood of being overwhelmed by Ji Xizhi’s fans after the hot search of “Ji Xizhi being snubbed for an afternoon” came out.

Similar situations weren’t unseen in the industry before, and the director back then was bombarded terribly by fans. In Ji Xizhi’s matter, he admittedly was negligent.

He was prepared to be scolded, even had a bottle of fast-acting heart pills ready in hand.

But when Ji Xizhi’s fans came to his comments section, the vibe was completely different:

[Director Fan~~ I’m scared, please, kindly, for the photographer, for Zhi Zhi~]

[Dashing and handsome Director Fan, do you understand my needs?]

[Waah waah waah~ Crying, rubbing, could you kindly be more mindful of Zhi Zhi’s next shoot’s collaborating photographer, Director Fan~]

Director Fan, over fifty years old: …pain mask.

Or should we just go directly and rush in! Come! Scold me!!!

Law-abiding intellectuals: ??? Director Fan, why would we scold anyone? We’re law-abiding intellectuals!

A silent shout echoed in Fan Ci’s face as if covered in something: It’s better if you scold me!!!

Fan Ci was tormented for several days, and thankfully today the shooting was finally over.

Then he opened the comments section and was once again covered in confusion.

Fan Ci finally couldn’t take it anymore; just as Photographer Ke Ming posted his Weibo, he forwarded it directly.

Forward // Fan Ci: Waah waah waah, look at him!

Intellectuals squatted on Fan Ci’s page for several days, then swiftly noticed a minor notable photographer within the circle posting a Weibo.

The content was all praises for Ji Xizhi.

Intellectuals: !!! Relieved!

Everyone left Fan Ci’s Weibo without hesitation, quickly switching ground.

[Wow~ So this time it was a collaboration with Teacher Ke Ming! Super looking forward to the pictures!]

[Hehehe thanks for liking our Zhi Zhi~ Teacher, please release the pictures soon; take us to appreciate them~]

[Legal System: No, don’t thank heaven; thank me, please!]

[Previous photographer behind bars: Shouldn’t I be thanked too?]

When Ji Xizhi could collaborate with a good photographer, the fans’ first reaction was jubilant, excitedly shouting to buy the magazine!

Then, somehow, a sharp-eyed fan noticed a glaring flaw in Photographer Ke Ming’s statement and commented accordingly.

Passersby couldn’t help but laugh explosively.

The comment’s likes skyrocketed, directly reaching front-row sofa status.

Countless netizens followed suit replying:

[Indeed! Thanking the wrong person; heaven doesn’t handle earthly matters. The thanks should go to the legal system!]

[@Photographer Ke Ming Understand? Now you know what books to read, what subjects to study, right?!]

Photographer Ke Ming, upon posting the Weibo, immediately noticed the red-hot comment in front-row sofa status and instantly understood.

//Photographer Ke Ming: Got it! I’m going to read right now!!!

After replying, he even turned around and re-edited the Weibo.

He changed the words thanking heaven to thanking the legal system and rigorously added a note at the end, promising to study well, be a law-knowing, law-abiding good citizen!

Peers had just witnessed Ke Ming’s brainwashed, obsessed look, and shortly after, saw Ke Ming’s Weibo again.

Peers: “…!”

Wow, so Ji Xizhi coming to shoot a magazine cover was fake; she’s really here to teach legal awareness to photographers?!

Who’s up next?

Why not study a little beforehand ourselves!

Ji Xizhi is the deity of the photo studio; this mysterious nickname was firmly established in the studio from then on.

–

Ji Xizhi sat in the nanny car, unaware of the increasingly wild rumors about her in the photo studio.

After completing today’s cover shoot, her work was pretty much finished.

She was about to have Xiao Yuan send her back to school when a pop-up with the hot news saying another photographer was going to seriously learn law and understand relevant legal knowledge caught her eye.

Ji Xizhi unconsciously curved her lips.

Then she left a message for Photographer Ke Ming, repeating the same line to let him know that if there’s anything that needs clarification or if he doesn’t understand, he can reach out to her anytime.

Photographer Ke Ming felt even more excited after reading Ji Xizhi’s message; reciprocal engagements practically ensured a second collaboration.

Before the collaboration was fully executed, even before the pictures were out, both parties were already satisfied.

Xiao Yuan was driving the car, and noticing Ji Xizhi was in a pleasant mood, took the opportunity to ask, “Zhi Zhi, how do you feel about those director invitations I showed you before?”

Xiao Yuan knew Ji Xizhi didn’t aim to be the top in the entertainment industry.

But she also understood that the group of intellectuals accompanying Ji Xizhi was extremely important to her.

Xiao Yuan had acquired a lot of knowledge about agents recently and was able to help Zhi Zhi process and organize some matters.

Ji Xizhi had reviewed the sorted invitation documents, but the matter had been postponed due to Ah Lu’s incident, and Xiao Yuan hadn’t rushed her.

Now is a good time to ask.

Ji Xizhi re-opened to take a look.

Xiao Yuan: “Oh right, a few directors had added some bits over the past days, and I’ve noted them down. So it’ll look clearer to you.”

Ji Xizhi looked at the invitation notes growing longer each time in the document, falling into silence.

“Teacher Ji, I managed to get some first-hand literature from a friend’s friend’s friend~ Feel free to preview! After recording the program, you can access the full text!”

“I’ve sorted some legal academic journals, several thousand pieces, all categorically organized for Teacher Ji’s convenience in browsing~”

“There’s a Red Circle Law Society professional seminar invitation list; not sure if Teacher Ji is interested?”

“Our program can provide a little class for Ji Xizhi to explain the law!”

“We can…”

…

All down the list, a dozen programs, the invitation wording all like cut from the same mold.

And stuffed full with love weights.
