Chapter 349: Chapter 327: Questionable Origins?
“You’re here now, you can make a lot of money, but I don’t want you to lose your true self for it!”
Ji Yezong looked at Ji Xizhi with the pain and sorrow of a brother who truly cared for his sister.
Ji Xizhi didn’t catch the emotions that Ji Yezong was clearly trying to express.
She just lightly retorted, “Then standing on Director Qiu’s show means you haven’t lost your true self?”
Ji Yezong: “I’m on the ’National Mediation’ show because Director Qiu is a good person and I wanted to help. I can assure you that I haven’t taken a penny from the show!”
“So you’re saying that not taking money means you haven’t lost your true self? Taking money means you have?”
Ji Xizhi nodded while letting out a light laugh.
“Turns out you’re the Bodhisattva of our times!”
Ji Xizhi rarely publicly berates someone on the show; she usually opts for a lawsuit when possible. But Ji Yezong’s attitude really disgusted her.
[Hey! That’s ridiculous! Can’t a worker earn a salary? This is the first time I’ve heard a theory like this, then I gladly give up my true self! As long as I have no true self, I’ll have money~
[This isn’t a Bodhisattva, this is a fool, thank you!]
[With this logic… I’m starting to wonder if this brother is mentally stable?]
[Hello, I have a true self, could you hire a brother to work for me? Nine to six, weekends off, never clock out, salary on your own responsibility.]
[Hey upstairs sister, don’t go flirting with the edges of labor law, be careful not to fall into a trap!]
[? When it comes to caution, you intellectuals really stand out!]
With just two sentences, Ji Xizhi led the audience in the barrage off track.
Are there really workers who don’t care about money these days? And you’re giving me, a transformed worker, this talk about a true self? If you want to talk, go talk to the boss!
The audience was deeply immersed.
At the center of the ’National Mediation’ stage, Ji Yezong clearly realized that his intended message had been twisted by Ji Xizhi. He clenched the microphone tightly and added another sentence.
“Xixi, you know that’s not what I meant, and I wasn’t talking about money. I’m not a lawyer, and I don’t know the law, my speaking skills aren’t as good as yours…”
“To my knowledge, morality and law are taught since elementary school.” Ji Xizhi raised the umbrella in her hand, looked at the distorted, elongated face of Ji Yezong on the big screen, and calmly said, “Not good at speaking, then let’s meet in court, I can talk with your lawyer.”
Hearing Ji Xizhi say this, Ji Yezong became a bit anxious.
He was already standing here, and in this situation, Ji Xizhi hadn’t lost at all. If this blew over, even if the lawsuit was resumed later, it wouldn’t have the same heat, not to mention President Huang’s side…
Ji Yezong resolved himself, picked up the microphone, and shouted almost at the top of his lungs.
“Do you have to confront your brother this way? You don’t pay for mom’s medical bills, you refuse to support your parents, I haven’t blamed you for those, but to this day, you still haven’t shown any sign of repenting! You learned law to earn that money and did so much, is it really worth it?”
Not supporting parents could be grounds to sue Ji Xizhi later, but now, smearing Ji Xizhi’s purpose of studying law as just for money was the main focus.
Ji Yezong was betting that Ji Xizhi couldn’t possibly prove herself.
The reason rumors spread widely is because it’s easy to start them, but hard to refute them.
And just as Ji Yezong was speaking, Ji Xizhi took her personal phone from Director Wang’s hand under her umbrella.
The ’Life Experience’ program team usually helps guests by holding onto their personal phones. Actually, when Ji Xizhi first got ashore, she had secretly signaled to Director Wang to retrieve her phone.
Now everyone’s attention was on the confrontation between the two shows, and for a moment, no one noticed Le Qiqi’s luxury yacht took off for Xianyu Village to get a phone and returned.
Ji Xizhi clamped the umbrella between her neck and shoulder, and as soon as she got hold of her phone, she swiftly logged into a tax app, the official blue-background one.
She easily found her entire last year’s income, clicked open, then turned the phone screen towards the latest PD camera of ’Life Experience,’ even adjusting the focus considerately.
Ji Xizhi: “What? Do you think any of my money is not worth it? Or do you think it’s illegitimate? Feel free to report it!”
Ji Xizhi’s explosive move not only left Ji Yezong stunned, but also bewildered the rest of the program team.
[wkwkwk! This move is way too explosive, she’s the first celebrity to publicly disclose her income, every penny is written on it…]
[Eh? This page looks similar to mine, all labor remuneration, she doesn’t fake anything, huh? I didn’t know celebrities also get paid monthly just like me! I’m shocked!]
[Being a celebrity seems easy, they make so much money effortlessly, who knows how much they’re pocketing privately!]
[No wonder Ji Xizhi wants to be a celebrity, turns out it’s easy money!]
[Is the commenter above a pretend black fan? Before attacking, can you look at the page, please look at it! Except for those two large sums suspected to be compensation from Hangxing Entertainment and that black fan, didn’t you see the rest, three thousand, five thousand, ten thousand a month? Is this a normal artist’s salary? I don’t believe it, any low-tier artist I know gets paid in the tens of thousands for a show… ]
[Confused, calculating the time, isn’t this when Ji Xizhi’s contract with Hangxing Entertainment hadn’t been terminated yet? I remember Ji Xizhi was black-and-red at that time, Hangxing Entertainment’s money… emmm…]
[How about checking Hangxing Entertainment’s taxes, I think there might really be something fishy there!]
