Rise and Slay: From Scandal Queen to Academic Genius - Chapter 256 - 235: What’s She Up to This Time?
Chapter 256: Chapter 235: What’s She Up to This Time?
Ji Xizhi’s public clarification became such a hot topic online that even Director Wang couldn’t help but exclaim how ridiculous it was.
Since when have clarifications in the entertainment circle been this effective?
No, it seems it’s not the clarifications in the entertainment circle that are effective, but that whatever Ji Xizhi says is effective.
Since Ji Xizhi appeared on the first episode of “Life Experience,” she has become the most unconventional artist in the entertainment industry.
She’s becoming a new kind of idol.
Before Director Wang met Ji Xizhi, he still had some doubts about the trending topics online. Now, he has none at all and won’t have any in the future.
Now, if Ji Xizhi were to leave their program for even a day, he’d be upset!
Director Wang thought to himself.
After Ji Xizhi finished her simple statement, she nonchalantly sat on the sofa, took out her phone, and began browsing the trending topics, taking screenshots, and making notes.
Zhu Xiu’an, after hearing Ji Xizhi’s explanation, couldn’t see the immediate effect either. However, based on his years of experience, his evaluation was just two words: naive!
The entertainment circle never believes in verbal clarifications.
This effect is too weak!
Zhu Xiu’an squeezed in next to Ji Xizhi, saying exasperatedly, “This statement is too perfu… Hey, what are you recording?”
Zhu Xiu’an was about to teach Ji Xizhi the best process for clarifications and refutations, but before he could finish, he saw Ji Xizhi’s fingers flying over her phone keyboard.
Ji Xizhi, while typing and inserting screenshots, took a moment to reply to Zhu Xiu’an, “The paper needs some relevant materials, so I’m recording from time to time!”
Zhu Xiu’an’s voice choked: “…”
Another paper! How many papers does she have to write?
When Zhu Xiu’an glanced at the words Ji Xizhi was recording on her phone, his desire to teach was completely extinguished.
Legal regulations related to cyberbullying…? Ji Xizhi is actually using her real case to write a paper. She’s ruthless!
Zhu Xiu’an silently moved away a little.

In the “Life Experience” live streaming room, Ji Xizhi gave a simple response, and the room banned a bunch of bot accounts. The program recording was ready to continue.
According to the original plan for this episode, there were still some activities in the evening, but because Le Qiqi brought over a luxury yacht, and with Ji Xizhi’s issues causing a delay, it was getting late.
Fortunately, the “Life Experience” program team had already anticipated this. After all, the crew doesn’t often follow the script; they go with the flow.
The program team cut the game segment and went straight to the main event.
“I believe everyone has earned quite a bit for renovation expenses today. Now, let’s invite all our guests to our life supermarket for today’s commodity exchange.”
“A friendly reminder, to ensure an authentic life experience, the rooms where you will rest tonight are the ones you chose earlier, so please make sure to select essential items during your exchange~”
Speaking of essential items, when resting in a room, the most essential are what?
Nothing more than a bed and a quilt.
When several guests thought back to the room scene they saw while selecting earlier, they were dumbfounded.
“Uncle Wang, are you teasing me? The rooms this morning didn’t even have beds! How are we supposed to sleep?”
“Exactly, the windows were so broken. If we sleep there overnight, we’ll catch a chill!”
“This is outrageous! I checked the bed prices in the afternoon, and they are expensive! How can we afford them with the money we earned this afternoon?”
Several guests sighed.
Director Wang, however, had a look that seemed to say, “What can you do about it?”
Director Wang: “The program team isn’t that inhumane. We do offer loans, but I must mention that the flying guests who arrived today, as well as special guest Le Qiqi’s accommodation, also need to be shared by you all.”
“Flying guests can randomly select fixed guests to live with, but once chosen, it cannot be changed!”
Director Wang said with a gleeful smile.
Several flying guests immediately began to make their choices.
Fang Zhuyue and You Yingmeng were not the type to compete, so everyone agreed to play rock-paper-scissors.
Le Qiqi had a stroke of good luck and got the first pick. She unhesitatingly chose to share a room with Ji Xizhi.
Fang Zhuyue gave her a glance and quickly lowered her head in disappointment.
When the rock-paper-scissors ended, Fang Zhuyue picked Sheng Yaoyao, You Yingmeng chose Zhong Yulu, and Bai Zhe avoided Zhu Xiu’an by choosing Guan Fengyan.
Zhu Xiu’an protested a lot but was unable to change Bai Zhe’s mind.
After all the guests had made their selections, it was time to head to the supermarket to pick a bed.
Director Wang, walking energetically, prepared to collect a large portion of the money the guests had earned.
But before he could leave the small house…
He saw Ji Xizhi stand up and enter his room directly.
Director Wang: “?” Why is she going into his room?
“Ji Xizhi, where are you going? Everyone needs to go shopping together now!”
Ji Xizhi turned to look at Director Wang and pulled Le Qiqi along, “Oh, I don’t need to shop.”
Director Wang: “?!”
What’s she up to now?
Although Director Wang didn’t understand yet, he already felt a sense of foreboding.
Zhu Xiu’an, having watched Ji Xizhi’s antics for so many episodes, started to get it. He paused and followed Director Wang’s steps before swiftly turning back and jogging over to Ji Xizhi.
Ji Xizhi, seeing Director Wang’s puzzled expression, kindly explained, “Previously, we wrote about who we’d most like to experience life with. Director Wang, I chose you.”
Director Wang: “???”
“What do you mean?”
Director Wang began to feel scared.
The live chat was already going crazy with laughter.
[Beep beep, Shared Fortune Card! Director Wang’s room, shared with Zhi Zhi~]
[Oh~ so this is what experiencing life together meant? This approach is brilliant!]
[Hahaha, Director Wang is the ultimate victim, the big-big-big victim!]
Ji Xizhi opened a new dimension.
Beside her, Zhu Xiu’an eagerly learned from the situation and immediately improvised, “Then if I want to experience life with Ji Xizhi, can I join too? The bed can be theirs, I can sleep on the floor!”
[Wait, three people?! Won’t this make headlines tomorrow? Zhu Xiu’an, Ji Xizhi, and Le Qiqi sharing the same room! Can this even be aired? So exciting!]
[No, no, the headline won’t be that. I’m sure the top story tomorrow will be Zhu Xiu’an, Ji Xizhi, and Le Qiqi playing cards all night! Zhu Xiu’an loses miserably, even his shorts are gone!]
[??? I disagree. Persuade me. But yes, who needs a king in card games? Zhu Xiu’an, stream this live tonight~]
[This is hilarious! Zhu Xiu’an, are you up for it? Are you a man or not!]
[Silly dog: I’m not, I’m a dog!]
[This is the first time I’ve seen a situation where a hint of romance is thrown in everyone’s face, and no one believes in the impossible couple! Too funny!]
The remaining guests, witnessing Zhu Xiu’an’s quick-witted move, suddenly were filled with inspiration:
Guan Fengyan had previously written that he wanted to experience life with family, so he contemplated this and looked at Director Wang.
Guan Fengyan unleashed the acting skills he had accumulated over his life in that moment, sincerely saying, “Director Wang, I’ve always considered you family!”
Sheng Yaoyao also paused in silence, recalling the time she casually wrote that she wanted to experience life with a pet.
