Rise and Slay: From Scandal Queen to Academic Genius - Chapter 234 - 215: How Could This Be Tolerated?
Chapter 234: Chapter 215: How Could This Be Tolerated?
In the fan groups of “Knowledge is Power,” there are already thousands of people waiting to grab the chance to be a substitute.
Everyone is waiting for Ji Xizhi to come out and hold a lottery to pick someone to fight Hangxing Entertainment for her.
Since Ji Xizhi started giving out fan benefits, people went from initially not accepting this type of fan benefit to now scrambling to get it.
After studying and reviewing, isn’t it time for a test?
The intellectuals are all waiting for a chance to be picked.
As an old fan in the group, He Qing is also hoping to get a chance. He even worked overtime all night to have free time to take on this case.
But as soon as he got up in the morning, he heard that his boss wanted to cut in line for the case.
He Qing: “Can you tolerate this?”
He Qing immediately spoke out to stop it.
Qi Zheng: “What’s queuing?”
He Qing: “This case, everyone is waiting for Zhi Zhi to hold a lottery to fight for the fans!”
Qi Zheng: “???”
In his many years as a lawyer, this is the second time he’s heard something so ridiculous…
The last time he was asked to be a courtroom substitute.
This time, he came to be a courtroom substitute, only to be told there’s a queue?
Qi Zheng didn’t know whether to be angry or laugh for a moment.
On the other end of the phone, Ji Xizhi obviously also knew about the intellectuals eagerly waiting for the third wave of fan benefits.
She had been focused on her thesis all night and only found out about the Hangxing Entertainment issue now.
If she could pay more money and release the third wave of fan benefits earlier, why not?
Without thinking, Ji Xizhi refused Qi Zheng.
“I have arrangements for the Hangxing Entertainment case. About what I mentioned regarding online violence, if you’re not convenient with it…”
Qi Zheng: “Convenient.”
Qi Zheng responded quickly, his brain didn’t even process it, but his mouth responded first.
Mainly, the things on Ji Xizhi’s side always gave him the feeling of a clearance sale shouting on the street, and even being a courtroom substitute required a lottery. Who knows if there will be another chance for this thesis?
Qi Zheng felt like he was tricked.
Yet next to him, He Qing was looking at him with a gaze full of envy and jealousy.
Qi Zheng: “……”
Obviously, Ji Xizhi had tricked more than just him!
But everyone seemed quite happy?
Qi Zheng’s mouth curled up slightly.
–
Not long after Ji Xizhi hung up the phone, she also roughly understood the situation with Hangxing Entertainment during this time.
She didn’t care about these little tricks, but since they voluntarily put themselves on the line as the target, why not make good use of it?
The third wave of fan benefits, arranged immediately.
Xiao Yuan was responsible for contacting the fan support club, starting the preliminary selection internally, then the semi-finals, and finally drawing the chosen one.
The intellectuals had already been holding a grudge against Hangxing Entertainment, and now that this happened, they’re even more aggressive.
Fans of all other celebrities in the entertainment industry were stunned to watch.
Other fans knew the fighting power of the intellectuals had already topped the entertainment circle, but they didn’t expect this top to be broken and go a step further!
Other fans: … Ugh! Is a new standard for fan circles coming again!
The intellectuals were fighting for the third wave of fan benefits.
Over on Ji Xizhi’s side, because she covered the compensation from Hangxing Entertainment and the black fans, even her own appearance fees were spent. During this time, people kept transferring money to her, even Jiang Qianli and Chu Ang sent her several transfers, fearing she wouldn’t have money to eat.
Everyone knew that Ji Xizhi didn’t participate in the program as an industry insider, the appearance fee wasn’t high, and there were still ongoing expenses for some remote county broadcasting equipment. The upcoming program appearance fees might also be invested in purchasing broadcasting equipment.
Ji Xizhi explained several times that she wasn’t short of money, but no one believed her.
And whenever Ji Xizhi said she wasn’t short of money.
Everyone would simultaneously take out the freshly released greasy domineering CEO meme: “Do you think my money is dirty?”.jpg
After Ji Xizhi insisted on rejecting it for several days.
The transfer messages indeed decreased a bit, but now the food deliveries to her home started increasing crazily.
Since Ji Xizhi didn’t take the money, everyone feared she’d suffer, so they started frantically buying things and precisely delivering them to Ji Xizhi’s home.
Not until the eldest young master of the Feng Family, Feng Qin, announced that the broadcasting system purchased and donated by Ji Xizhi will henceforth be fully funded by Feng’s Enterprise Foundation.
Only then did Ji Xizhi escape the title of “poor, kind, and hungry little pitiful.”
The overwhelming group pampering incident triggered by Hangxing Entertainment came to a halt.
It was finally time for Ji Xizhi to participate in the recording of the new episode of “Life Experience.”
The third episode of “Life Experience” was filmed in a small island village.
Live streaming started at seven in the morning, but this time, the guests didn’t travel together; they acted separately.
From landing at the airport, driving to the seaside, and finally taking a boat to the destination.
The village where the program was to be recorded was called Xianyu Village, situated on the mountainside near the sea. To leave the village, one had to take a boat across a sea area and then head to the market.
Upon reaching the opposite shore of Xianyu Village, several fishing boats were already parked there.
The boats weren’t big, but they each had a local fisherman in charge, and the guests just needed to put on life jackets and sit on board.
As for the luggage carried by the guests, the program team would handle them uniformly later.
When Ji Xizhi arrived at the scene, there were four or five boats docked with fishermen in life jackets on each.
For this episode, the program team didn’t arrange specific boats to transport the guests to the island village. The boats docked were those regularly parked there, with some carrying nearby tourists for sea tours and others specifically for the Xianyu Village line.
Ji Xizhi didn’t think much and was about to randomly pick a boat to board.
Just then, the fishermen on the boats suddenly poked their heads out, gazing suspiciously in Ji Xizhi’s direction, exchanged glances, whispered a few words, then checked their phones. Finally, looking as if they’ve confirmed something, they nodded to each other.
For artists recording programs, such situations aren’t uncommon. After all, while recording a variety show, being scrutinized with such eyes isn’t strange either.
Ji Xizhi had recorded several episodes, so she didn’t mind at all.
She directly picked the nearest boat and then slowly opened her mouth to ask: “Hello, master, are you going to Xianyu Village?”
The fisherman on the chosen boat just glanced at Ji Xizhi, quickly shut his mouth tightly, neither denying nor responding, just lowered his head, remaining silent.
Ji Xizhi: “?”
[??? This master is a bit aloof, not even taking business?]
[Hmm… I have a bad feeling, is Uncle Wang really that kind-hearted?]
[Uncle Wang deliberately, right? Deliberately not letting Zhi Zhi take the boat over? Uncle Wang is targeting my Zhi Zhi again, isn’t he? You’re done for!]
