Rise and Slay: From Scandal Queen to Academic Genius - Chapter 352 - 330: Can’t You Come Up with a Decent Excuse?
Chapter 352: Chapter 330: Can’t You Come Up with a Decent Excuse?
The onlookers and internet trolls clicked in at the same time, and almost everyone couldn’t help but stare at the screen and curse.
“Holy shit!”
“Crap, crap, crap crap… that’s way too many!”
[It’s… it’s real, the officials, the officials are here???]
[Hahahahahahaha, I’m over the moon, don’t mind me, let me be crazy for a while! I just want to scream now!!!]
[Xue Fan? Who remembers that Ji Xizhi attended the Feng Family banquet recently? I remember there was that name! Wow, this is the little master of the Xue Family, right!]
[This doesn’t necessarily prove that Ji Xizhi is this so-called 5577, given Ji Xizhi’s current status and the recent banquet, it’s not like she can’t reach these people!]
[? Does anyone above have logic! Being in touch with them and having them all come out to support you are two different things! Otherwise, you go debut and get all these bigwigs to back you up and I’ll watch! If you can get them, I’ll be your die-hard fan!]
[Who knows if Ji Xizhi did some unsavory things for this group of people!]
While the trolls were still arguing in the comments, a bunch of people turned from bashing Xue Fan to focusing on Ji Xizhi.
Ji Xizhi’s major followers increased rapidly, and soon after, Ji Xizhi’s latest Weibo post received several comments.
Wansheng Xu Jiangyan V: Sis, can we add each other on WeChat?
Hua Yan Official Weibo V: Move aside, ladies first!
…
A few people had already left Xue Fan aside and started reaching out to Ji Xizhi actively.
Ji Xizhi was in front of the camera for “Life Experience,” and seeing those people brazenly commenting under her Weibo, she could tell at a glance that Xue Fan must have contacted them in advance.
Even at such a time, if they wanted to contact her, they could have done so through other channels—it wasn’t necessary to shout on Weibo with their major accounts.
Ji Xizhi first reposted Xue Fan’s Weibo, explaining briefly that she hadn’t known Xue Fan for long, in an attempt to shield him from some of the heat.
After reposting Xue Fan’s Weibo, she returned to her own Weibo comments and replied to those asking for her WeChat.
Although she didn’t plan to take these big families’ cases at the moment, leaving contact information was of course fine.
Ji Xizhi replied right in front of the live stream camera.
Halfway through writing, she scrolled through the comments, smirked, and simply replied.
Reply//Ji Xizhi V: Adding v-verified is fine, I don’t do shady stuff.
Viewers of the “Life Experience” live stream nearly burst out laughing as they watched Ji Xizhi type this.
Someone even took a screenshot of the previous comment accusing Ji Xizhi of doing shady things, then captioned it in bold letters, and tagged Wansheng, Hua Yan, Zhong Yue, and dozens of other corporate official accounts.
Pure-hearted person: I don’t mean to stir things up, I’m just here for the drama! @Wansheng @Hua Yan @Zhong Yue…
A single comment directly offended the entire circle of elite families.
[Congratulations, you have collected a full set of lawyer letters~]
[Congratulations, you will spend the next year “working” in court~]
…
Several of Xue Fan’s Weibo posts clarified the ridiculous story about Ji Xizhi making illegal money and having impure motives for studying law and also gained Ji Xizhi quite a few fans on the spot.
This premeditated action left President Huang with nothing so far, instead getting Ji Xizhi… more followers!
Yes, more followers again!
President Huang of Hangxing Entertainment gritted his teeth as he watched Weibo, feeling like he was about to break his teeth! Was all his effort to topple Ji Xizhi just to boost Ji Xizhi’s follower count?
President Huang suppressed the urge to smash his phone.
Meanwhile, at the variety show recording site, the standoff between the two major shows, “Life Experience” and “National Mediation,” continued.
However, with the “clarification” storm on Weibo, Ji Yezong no longer had any standing, and the bystanders weren’t buying the brother’s nonsense anymore.
Ji Yezong stood on stage, the microphone nearly crushed in his hand, as he continued:
“I know you have all these connections in the entertainment circle…”
But Ji Yezong hadn’t finished speaking yet.
Zhu Xiu’an behind Ji Xizhi suddenly jumped out with exaggerated flair, holding a phone that seemingly came from nowhere, scrolling and muttering.
Zhu Xiu’an: “Yeah, yeah, she has all these connections, yet she still feels the need to do illegal things, does that even sound human to you?”
He posed with flair, raising his pinky.
“Or are you saying that Ji Xizhi, this top Qing University graduate, personally accepted by the dean, is actually a fool who seeks illegal money just to hand leverage to rivals?”
“Hey, hey, hey~ can’t you come up with a decent reason?”
Zhu Xiu’an’s triple attack completely shut down Ji Yezong’s remaining words.
Seeing the current situation, Ji Yezong realized that confronting Ji Xizhi from this angle no longer gave him any advantage.
He might as well play the emotional card.
The wind by the beach for “Life Experience” was getting stronger, and the rain, which started as a drizzle, turned into heavy drops.
Director Wang watched as the large screen set for projection was about to be blown over but couldn’t stop the confrontation between the two sides at this point.
After all, since things have started, there’s no point in leaving it hanging, risking the chance of the opposite side using public opinion to overturn it later.
Director Wang glanced at Ji Xizhi in front of the big screen and resolutely stepped up with several staff to hold down the screen, allowing the confrontation between the two variety shows to continue.
In “National Mediation,” Ji Yezong stood centrally, indoors, unaffected by the outdoor weather, looking as neat as ever.
Compared to Ji Xizhi, who had come down from the boat and was now standing in the rain with her pants legs half-soaked.
Ji Yezong held the microphone and continued: “Xixi, I don’t want to argue with you about these things, but right now, mom is in the hospital. You studied law, you should know it’s your legal duty to support your parents!”
