Rise and Slay: From Scandal Queen to Academic Genius

Chapter 347 - 325: Whoever Hangs Up First Is the Loser!


Chapter 347: Chapter 325: Whoever Hangs Up First Is the Loser!

The variety show connection between “National Mediation” and “Life Experience” is still ongoing.

Director Qiu didn’t even have time to hang up.

Director Wang responded sarcastically, “Even Director Qiu, such an honest guy, said he wanted a direct confrontation with our show’s guests to help mediate. Our show isn’t one to ignore personal connections. We can arrange a face-to-face mediation once the guest is ashore, if the guest agrees. Since I heard Director Qiu’s show has big screens, my resources are limited here, so I’ll go rent a projection screen to make the discussion easier. It’ll also provide an explanation to the audience.”

Director Wang isn’t foolish; from Ji Xizhi’s disappearance to her appearance, Director Qiu’s aggressive attitude indicated someone might be secretly targeting Ji Xizhi!

Otherwise, with Qiu Yong’s character, he wouldn’t shamelessly call unless he’s certain Ji Xizhi wouldn’t respond.

Now that Ji Xizhi’s making a high-profile appearance, Director Wang wholeheartedly trusts her abilities. He immediately agreed to Director Qiu’s proposal from “National Mediation,” not even giving Director Qiu a chance to decline, making the confrontation even more grandiose, just like how Director Qiu set him up earlier.

Sarcasm? Who can’t do it?! Whoever hangs up first is the fool in this call, this mediation, this confrontation!

Director Wang skillfully played his part, feeling immensely satisfied. Google seaʀᴄh 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⚑𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⚑𝓷𝓮𝓽

[Uncle Wang still shows some director flair; I declare you should continue to direct “Life Experience!” ]

[Projection screen confrontation is awesome, ooo~ I’m excited! A big show, a big show indeed, who’d expect such a grand drama early in the morning! ]

[Morning folks are feeling the pain! Good-hearted people, record the whole thing, wait till I finish classes, boo hoo hoo~ ]

[I’ll do it, not just recording, I’ll recite the entire thing for you, sister, bravely attend class; when you return, I’ll break it down in five Chapters and forty episodes and explain it in detail!]

The drama reaches its climax with Ji Xizhi’s return.

On the luxury cruise.

Ji Xizhi hasn’t reached shore yet; she stands at the bow and sees Director Wang and others on the shore.

Le Qiqi sits under a large sunshade with a big pad on the table, showing the live broadcast of “National Mediation.”

Le Qiqi arms crossed, asks, “Really confront them? It’s unnecessary to lower your status with such people. I can ask my brother for help. You don’t need to appear; I can directly let the company’s legal team handle it.”

Ji Xizhi smiled and shook her head, “No need, that day will come sooner or later.”

Since boarding Le Qiqi’s ship, Ji Xizhi hasn’t contacted the “Life Experience” crew immediately, partly due to a small incident involving falling into the water while waiting on the rubber boat for Le Qiqi, which required her to clean up; and partly because she wanted to wait and see, since someone was plotting, it’s best to watch all the fish emerge.

Ultimately, it didn’t take much time for her to see the big fish Hangxing Entertainment hidden behind the scenes.

Ji Xizhi thought her issues with Hangxing Entertainment would end after the compensation verdict, assuming Hangxing Entertainment wouldn’t break the law; she didn’t plan to pursue further.

But now it seems Hangxing Entertainment still lacks respect for the law.

Or rather, it’s this story.

But no worries, she will make Hangxing Entertainment understand that violations must have consequences.

Ji Xizhi is not ashore yet, but online public opinion has already turned massively.

Previously, when Hangxing Entertainment turned the tide, Ji Xizhi privately contacted her fans to hold back vast action until she appeared.

Now as Ji Xizhi appears, the intellectuals, having endured a long wait, vigorously launch an anti-black campaign with one-stop services like reporting and clarifying.

The sheer number of intellectuals startled President Huang of Hangxing Entertainment.

He knew Ji Xizhi had many fans but didn’t expect them to achieve this without a studio’s guidance.

Seeing such a massive fan mobilization, President Huang realized he was counter-tricked.

President Huang: “Damn it, that bitch, did she do it intentionally?!”

Ji Fengyuan coldly eyed the increasingly panicked President Huang, “I told you long ago, if you act, do it cleanly!”

Enraged, President Huang calmed down hearing Ji Fengyuan.

“Rest assured, Mr. Ji, this won’t involve you or me, even if it’s ’National Mediation,’ it remains their own affair!”

“As long as Ji Yezong insists on accusing, Ji Xizhi can’t escape.”

On Director Qiu’s end of “National Mediation,” due to Ji Xizhi’s high-profile appearance, he also found it hard to refuse being set up by Director Wang.

He had just started the show, wanting to discuss if this could be brushed off with Director Wang, but mere mention flooded him with comments; unwilling to confront directly now meant dampening the enthusiastic audience’s interest, even threatening to report him, frightening Director Qiu into hesitating to hang up.

Meanwhile, Director Wang hurriedly borrowed a projector for video connection.

However, such equipment was scarce in the village, eventually borrowing from the village committee.

This projection device typically used in the village for promotional content or events was old, with a large yet worn screen and mediocre quality with poor display.

But Director Wang wasn’t aiming for quality, as long as it provided video link. After all, they were watching “National Mediation,” not their own program, hence———

On a windy, rainy morning, “National Mediation’s” live broadcast footage was projected onto the screen.

The central image of Ji Yezong appeared disproportionate, mediators distorted in shape, Director Qiu’s head squashed, and the whole image was surreal and ridiculous, occasionally accompanied by sliding raindrops.

Ji Xizhi had just come ashore, witnessing this spectacle.

Then couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

[Bamboo shoots, so bamboo shoots! Uncle Wang’s sarcasm is tangible!!!]
