Rise and Slay: From Scandal Queen to Academic Genius

Chapter 372 - 349: No Need to Use an Alt Account


Chapter 372: Chapter 349: No Need to Use an Alt Account

Zhong Yulu’s Weibo post just came out, instantly adding a bit more credibility to that ambiguous trending topic from before.

“Life Experience” is so popular right now; who would choose to quit such a variety show at this time?

Zhong Yulu must have been greatly wronged!

[Director Wang, playing dead, are you? Trash production team!]

[Lu Lu would never quit for no reason! Quitting at this time, there must be a reason. I feel so sorry for her!]

[The first variety show in history to push a guest to this extent, avoid it! Who would dare to join such a show in the future!]

Zhong Yulu’s quitting post had been up for just a few minutes.

Bai Zhe, who had quit earlier, also came back to life and reposted Zhong Yulu’s Weibo, along with a heartache emoji.

This made the public opinion lively again.

Watching the trending topic rise again, Zhong Yulu finally felt some of her anger subside.

Zhong Yulu’s agent frowned at the Weibo post and whispered, “Lu Lu, given the current popularity of ’Life Experience,’ quitting now is really a pity, plus there’s a breach penalty. I really don’t recommend quitting at this time!”

Zhong Yulu: “I told you, I can’t continue recording. No matter how hot it is, it’s just a variety show. Get me a couple of acting gigs; acting is more important!”

Zhong Yulu’s agent: “…” When there was an acting gig, she wanted to do a variety show; now, after doing a variety show, she wants to act.

She gently said, “Lu Lu, there aren’t many scripts to choose from right now, and the legal team for ’Life Experience’ is very strong, the penalty isn’t a small amount either.”

Zhong Yulu’s voice turned cold: “That’s not something you need to worry about. I can afford the penalty. Besides, we may not even have to pay the penalty; wait for Director Wang to contact you!”

She knew how important the microfilm for “Life Experience” was currently; some investors bought into it just to create buzz at this time. For Director Wang to successfully advance this cooperation, the related public opinion from her side needs to be suppressed. It could be settled by negotiating an amicable termination without incurring any penalties.

Zhong Yulu’s agent: “Alright, I understand.”

Only then did Zhong Yulu grab her phone from beside her and skillfully switched to her alternate account, starting to make comments and stir up the rhythm in her fan group and on Weibo.

On the “Life Experience” side, Director Wang was indeed starting to get overwhelmed.

He initially didn’t respond to those speculative photos; the heat had almost died down until Zhong Yulu’s Weibo post solidified the matters in the trending topic again.

Director Wang couldn’t help but be angry, but just as Zhong Yulu predicted,

he still planned to talk to Zhong Yulu, otherwise, it would indeed be difficult to advance the microfilm cooperation.

Over at Ji Xizhi’s side, she had just gotten into the car when Xiao Yuan, as usual, handed her a study plan summary, so Ji Xizhi spent the journey reviewing Xiao Yuan’s study progress during this period.

When she got home, she had a meal first, and then when she looked at her phone,

the Dark Shark King Director Alliance group chat had already turned lively with 99+ messages, more than a dozen of which were messages directed at her.

Previously, when Le Qiqi wanted to join the group, Ji Xizhi pulled her in. Then Le Qiqi pulled in Sheng Yaoyao, who pulled in Guan Fengyan, who pulled in You Yingmeng, who pulled in Director Wang…

Now the group was buzzing with discussions about the trending topic.

Ji Xizhi casually looked through and saw Director Wang discussing potential solutions in the group; either negotiate with Zhong Yulu not to quit, or have Zhong Yulu claim she was quitting due to scheduling, unrelated to the trending topic, both difficult to manage.

Director Wang had actually communicated with Zhong Yulu’s agent. After the communication, Director Wang was just left with anger.

Others might not know what’s going on with the trending topic, but didn’t the production team? This was like having a pot of shit dumped on their heads, impossible to clean up. Even if the entire cast and crew came out to tell the truth, they feared being accused of grouping together to bully.

Ji Xizhi closed WeChat and glanced at her Weibo.

Even though the intellectuals were already orderly controlling reviews and countering black propaganda, upon refreshing, they continually found new critical and aggressive comments, as well as curious gossip comments from passersby, which were hard to report.

Xiao Yuan frowned and said, “Zhi Zhi, if it really doesn’t work, why don’t we sign with a company to handle this matter?”

Ji Xizhi wasn’t as anxious as Xiao Yuan, shook her head calmly, opened her computer, took out pen and paper, and began studying her Weibo, Black Fan Brother Sleep’s and Zhong Yulu’s accounts meticulously.

“No rush, let me take a look.” New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⁂𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⁂𝘯𝘦𝘵

Xiao Yuan couldn’t understand what Ji Xizhi was looking for, as the fire was at their doorstep; why look at Zhong Yulu’s Weibo?

But seeing Ji Xizhi so focused, he didn’t say anything more, just silently pulled out a phone beside her and joined the intellectuals online in counter-propaganda battles.

A while back, when Ji Xizhi handled Brother Sleep’s case, she learned quite a bit from him. Coupled with Zhong Yulu’s odd behavior these past few days, Ji Xizhi felt there might be a connection between Zhong Yulu and Brother Sleep.

Going through Brother Sleep’s Weibo comprehensively, she eventually focused her attention on the post where Brother Sleep had raised funds for his lawsuit, during which many had contributed, but only a few had given large sums at once.

She categorized the amounts, pinpointed several accounts, and compared content, posting frequency, habits, time, locations, etc., finally locking down on a Weibo account with just a symbol as its name.

Clicking on the account, it just so happened to be participating in tonight’s trending battle.

It even left a comment under the top post on Ji Xizhi’s homepage.

The comment read: Ji Xizhi, what did you do to Lu Lu? Do you think this will pass without a response or apology?

The number of likes wasn’t small.

The intellectuals responded defensively under the comment, yet were all rebuffed.

Ji Xizhi stared at the Weibo post, tapping her keyboard.

The trending topic had been ongoing since tonight, approaching midnight, and Ji Xizhi had yet to respond, until now she suddenly replied to this obscure account.

Reply from Ji Xizhi V: You should know I have a good memory, recalling the dialogue at that time shouldn’t be a problem.

Ji Xizhi answered simply and directly.

Soon someone captured her response and shared it everywhere, and gradually the account Ji Xizhi responded to began appearing in the public eye.

Who did Ji Xizhi reply to? Why reply to just one?

Many people immediately followed the trail on Ji Xizhi’s Weibo to take a look.

The account Zhong Yulu used was shocked when receiving Ji Xizhi’s response, initially fearing she forgot to switch accounts. Reassured upon checking her homepage, she responded back calmly.

She quickly replied with: Ridiculous, still boasting about her great memory!

Once the comment was posted.

The first reply she received wasn’t from Ji Xizhi but from one of her fans under the Lu Lu nickname.

[Are you Lu Lu’s alternate account?]

Then countless inquiries flooded in like a tide, all questioning whether she was Zhong Yulu’s alternate account, all from her own fans.

Fumbling, Zhong Yulu exited Ji Xizhi’s Weibo post, but upon refreshing, she saw a new Weibo on Ji Xizhi’s homepage.

Ji Xizhi tagged her alternate account in the new Weibo.

Ji Xizhi V: No need to use an alternate account. If you want a response, just say it directly.

Zhong Yulu had no idea how Ji Xizhi discovered her alternate account, but upon seeing this Weibo, her first instinct was to delete her account.

Yet before she could access the account deletion page, a new notification abruptly appeared on top of the Weibo interface.

The notification left her instantly freezing, her limbs turned cold.
