Rise and Slay: From Scandal Queen to Academic Genius - Chapter 219 - 200: Enough Talk, Time to Compete!

Chapter 219: Chapter 200: Enough Talk, Time to Compete!

[Maybe Ji Xizhi isn’t the most experienced lawyer, but she’s definitely the most serious about this drama!]

[emmm, there’s something I don’t know if I should say or not. I’m a classmate of Ji Xizhi. Ever since Ji Xizhi appeared on a few variety shows, she has published several papers, reports, and literature reviews—never less, only more—and she’s almost ready to submit them. In a few months, you might all see them. Even her senior is quite impressed! (Of course, her senior is actually quite great too.)]

[I feel that Ji Xizhi has quite a lot of courtroom experience (I’ve happened to be in court with her a few times, and, how to say it, I really admire her. From my more than ten years of professional experience, either she’s exceptionally talented, or she has experience.)]

[Stealthily asking, did the person upstairs work for Mouxing Entertainment??? Can you share some details (eager face)]

[Hello, no, I don’t want to remember.]

A job resume crushed all the previous ridicule.

No one is certain about Ji Xizhi’s acting skills, but her ability and attitude have already surpassed others significantly.

Many directors in the circle are fiercely envious of Director Jin. If only every artist could audition as seriously and based on skill as Ji Xizhi, casting wouldn’t be as much of a headache!

With a resume like this, who wouldn’t want to hire her? Ji Xizhi landing the role of legal advisor is well-deserved.

Director Wang, Director Fan, and Director Xu even felt a tinge of jealousy when they saw it.

Director Wang: @Ji Xizhi Why didn’t I get it?

Fan: Reflect on it!

Director Fan: Zhi Zhi, hungry hungry~ (not the real fan)

Fan: emmm Director Fan has gone crazy, just mute him!

Director Xu: @Director Jin Congratulations, sincere congratulations!

Fan: ? I think I kind of get Director Xu’s point.

A few directors hurriedly piggybacked on the trend, even pulling Director Jin into the Victims’ Alliance group chat early.

Director Jin: ?

Other artists in the entertainment circle, seeing Director Jin’s Weibo, were all caught up in it.

Several veteran artists liked and shared Director Jin’s Weibo directly.

Ji Xizhi’s resume soon became the new standard for audition roles.

All online artists: … Never expected this wave of popularity to hit us too?!

Forget it, nothing else to say, let’s just go along with it!

Even without taking the female lead role, Ji Xizhi has stirred things up so much. They have no excuse not to work hard!

–

After the dinner ended, the crew parted ways at the door.

After eating, Director Jin received continuous messages from new investors.

When sending Ji Xizhi off, Director Jin was beaming with joy.

Director Jin held Ji Xizhi’s hand, “Zhi Zhi, today it’s all thanks to you! I hope our future collaborations go smoothly! When the drama starts shooting, you must come, I’ll give you a big red envelope.”

Ji Xizhi wasn’t particularly interested in the red envelope; she asked Director Jin, “The red envelope isn’t important, but will the remaining primary literature materials mentioned earlier still be included in the contract?”

The cooperation terms offered by the “Rival in Love” crew were for her to be the female lead. Now that she’s the legal advisor, Ji Xizhi couldn’t be certain.

But having started reading the literature, not finishing it felt like leaving something incomplete.

Ji Xizhi took the initiative to ask about it.

It took Director Jin a while to understand, saying that when their crew initially invited Ji Xizhi, they had communicated with Director Xu’s side and asked someone to prepare the materials.

She thought Ji Xizhi wouldn’t care for it, but didn’t expect her to keep it in mind.

Director Jin: “Of course, they’ll be there. I’ll have my assistant send them to you later.”

Ji Xizhi thought for a moment, then added, “Let’s wait until the contract is signed.”

Director Jin laughed helplessly, “You think you can trick me?”

“I won’t!” Ji Xizhi’s eyes were determined, “But only a legally-formed contract is protected by law.”

Director Jin: “Alright, alright, we’ll do it your way!”

Feeling assured, Ji Xizhi finished speaking with Director Jin, said goodbye to Shanli, and then turned to get in the car.

Xiao Yuan’s van was already parked at the entrance in advance. As soon as Ji Xizhi got in, she was ready to head home.

After the dinner, it wasn’t even two o’clock yet, and the distance from the small restaurant back home was still a bit far.

As soon as Ji Xizhi got into the car, Xiao Yuan angrily started talking about what’s been trending today.

Xiao Yuan: “I feel that things have been suspicious lately. Once, twice, three times, it’s more than a few times now. You haven’t taken anyone else’s resources or obstructed anyone. How can there be black fans? You don’t seem to have any enemies in the entertainment industry, except for Hangxing Entertainment…”

When Xiao Yuan mentioned the name, she instantly made the connection.

“Could Hangxing Entertainment still be up to something!”

Ever since the lawsuit ended, Hangxing Entertainment had been silent for a long time. Recently, they signed a batch of new artists to participate in variety show auditions. It seemed there was no intersection with their Zhi Zhi.

Xiao Yuan felt a bit uneasy inside.

Ji Xizhi was calm as usual, saying, “No rush. If it’s them, once we’ve gathered enough evidence, that’s enough.”

After all, she’s experienced in suing Hangxing Entertainment.

Xiao Yuan: “?” Right.

The unease in her heart instantly settled.

With Zhi Zhi around, she had nothing to fear!

Xiao Yuan swept away the gloomy mood and happily turned on the in-car music, listening to… the essential course in Civil Code.

Ji Xizhi had long heard it before and could recite it now.

But you can always find something new by studying often!

The two of them, when they were really into it, would occasionally exchange a word or two.

Though it was mostly when waiting for the traffic lights. At other times, to avoid disturbing Xiao Yuan’s driving, Ji Xizhi mostly reviewed and recalled by herself.

Ji Xizhi and Xiao Yuan listened in the car.

Behind the nanny car, a small car appeared without anyone knowing.

This small car looked like every other car on the road, ordinary in appearance, with nothing special.

Only, it had been tailing Ji Xizhi’s nanny car since Xiao Yuan picked her up from the small restaurant.

Ji Xizhi was in the car reminiscing, her gaze unconsciously drifting to the position at a slight diagonal.

While reviewing the first case in her mind, it was the black car behind.

By the tenth case, it was still that car behind.

Ji Xizhi furrowed her brows slightly.

She looked at Xiao Yuan, asking, “Is someone tailing us?”
