Chapter 359: Chapter 337: Who Are You Trying to Fool?

Sun Qianqian spoke while trembling, her body uncontrollably slipping downward.

“I don’t know what to do now, no one will help me anymore, they won’t let me tell the police…”

Sun Qianqian’s voice grew smaller and smaller, with tears welling up in her eyes.

When Ji Xizhi went to inquire about Sun Qianqian before, she had not heard this part of the story. The other villagers, upon learning that Sun Qianqian had run out in the middle of the night and had now returned safely, their first reaction was to think that Sun Qianqian was being immature, never imagining anything else.

Ji Xizhi knew there was probably a problem, but hearing Sun Qianqian say this now, she couldn’t help but clench her fists.

“Don’t be afraid.”

Ji Xizhi’s voice carried suppressed anger and exceptional calmness as she reached out to wrap Sun Qianqian in her arms.

Sun Qianqian did not cry out loud, she only sobbed twice on Ji Xizhi’s shoulder and then quickly glanced around. For more chapters visıt 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝙣𝙚𝙩

Ji Xizhi proactively said, “Let’s talk inside.”

Sun Qianqian hesitated: “But there are chores at home, if I’m back late I will…”

Ji Xizhi’s eyes grew colder: “It’s okay, I have a way.”

Without waiting for Sun Qianqian to say more, Ji Xizhi took her into Old Tao’s house.

At Old Tao’s house, since Ji Xizhi left, Old Tao had instructed his family to tidy up a room on the second floor, just perfect for Ji Xizhi to discuss matters with Sun Qianqian.

Sun Qianqian’s situation was somewhat similar to Ji Xizhi’s original self, and she did not intend to seek anyone else’s help. She had previously mentioned this to Qi Zheng, who agreed, so she decided to leave everything to him.

Ji Xizhi borrowed a computer from the show crew and then got Qi Zheng and Sun Qianqian connected online.

As for the high legal fees from Tianzheng Law Firm, Ji Xizhi had already advanced them for Sun Qianqian. Initially, she hadn’t planned on making Sun Qianqian repay, but Sun Qianqian earnestly drafted a promissory note for her, even detailing monthly repayments.

Ji Xizhi didn’t refuse and carefully preserved the promissory note.

The primary communication during the call was between Qi Zheng and Sun Qianqian, as there was no doubt about Qi Zheng’s ability. Ji Xizhi didn’t need to interject and only took notes on the side.

Just as it was initially in Ping’an Village, after Qi Zheng finished talking with Sun Qianqian, the familiar document from Ji Xizhi had already been sent to Qi Zheng’s WeChat.

Looking at the detailed and clear record file, Qi Zheng couldn’t help but laugh, teasingly saying, “What? Another stand-in for court? How about this! If you want to intern next time, don’t go to a variety show, just come to our law firm, so that I won’t need to work overtime!”

Qi Zheng had gradually shifted his perspective from being overwhelmed in the beginning; what’s the point of competing with her when she has to find a job after graduation?! Poaching talents is key!

Ji Xizhi responded casually, “I’m still recording for a variety show. Even the computer for the call is from the show crew, so is your poaching appropriate?”

Qi Zheng leaned back lazily in his chair, “As the saying goes, ’if you wield the hoe well, no corner can’t be dug out!’”

Of course, he knew Ji Xizhi wouldn’t be easily swayed, but he couldn’t resist joking around.

Ji Xizhi looked up and glanced at him, “You make a good point, I can dig out a few more cases for you.”

Qi Zheng: “……” That’s life-threatening!

In an instant, he straightened up again.

“Pretend I never wielded this hoe!!!”

During Ji Xizhi and Qi Zheng’s banter, Sun Qianqian’s mood eased a lot on the side.

From her conversation stage with Qi Zheng, Sun Qianqian had been tense all over until she finally relaxed just now.

Ji Xizhi picked up a cup of warm water from the table and handed it to Sun Qianqian.

“The matter of the lawsuit can be entrusted to Lawyer Qi, but there’s one more thing I need your help with.”

…

The fact that Ji Xizhi and Sun Qianqian went upstairs was also noticed by the other guests of the “Life Experience” show crew.

However, everyone didn’t ask much and each continued with their own tasks, discussing the plot and being tormented by Zhu Xiu’an, while those trying to make money were chatting with Old Tao’s family.

After Director Wang retreated backstage, he didn’t have much work. This morning he received explosive news of Ji Xizhi’s confrontation with Ji Yezong, which even blew up on the trending searches.

He was currently lazily lying on a lounge chair browsing the hot searches, and when he got annoyed, he even logged onto a smaller account to vent a little.

Especially the variety show “National Mediation” by Director Qiu, riding the wave of popularity from “Life Experience”, also made it onto the trending searches.

The official blog of the “National Mediation” program even ambiguously posted a tweet to distance themselves.

National Mediation Official Blog: We’re very sorry for the outcome caused by inadequate scrutiny from the program team, but the original intention of the team has always been to save a family.

Director Wang was so infuriated his head was almost steaming.

“What a pretension, taking the audience for fools!”

He was grumbling.

Ji Xizhi knocked on the door from outside.

Director Wang was lying on the lounge chair, and the door wasn’t closed, so when Ji Xizhi knocked, he looked up and saw her.

At the sight of Ji Xizhi, the curse of “Uncle Wang” from the previous episode suddenly rang in his ears.

Director Wang got up like a live fish just tossed into hot oil.

“Ahem, ahem, ahem, what brings you here? What’s going on?”

Ji Xizhi: “I have an idea about the micro-movie to be shot this episode and would like to discuss it with Director Wang. Is it convenient?”

Director Wang’s eyes lit up, “With me?!!!”

Ji Xizhi needed him?! He knew she’d eventually come around! Director Guan didn’t have a resume as extensive as his, not to mention his Baidu Encyclopedia page had a few more lines than Director Guan’s!!!

Director Wang grinned from ear to ear with happiness, coughing a few times and then pretending nonchalance, “Although I’ve stepped down from directing this episode, from a personal perspective, if you want me to look over the script, it’s not…”

Before Director Wang could finish his sentence.

Ji Xizhi politely interrupted, “Sorry, Director Wang, that’s not what I meant.”

Director Wang: “Ah? Then what is it?”

Ji Xizhi: “Based on last night’s explanation from the screenwriter, Meng Tu, I wanted to ask, shouldn’t the program crew be able to resolve the issue of the selected movie’s related copyright?”

“According to the Copyright Law, adaptations should obtain permissions from the copyright owner of both the original work and the adaptation, and pay remuneration~”

Director Wang was expressionless: Heartbroken!

“I know!”

Ji Xizhi nodded, “That’s good then!”

After Director Wang confirmed this, when the screenwriter of “Love Begins Here”, Meng Tu, came to assist in the afternoon, and all the guests gathered to discuss program tasks, Ji Xizhi shared her ideas about the micro-movie theme for this episode of “Life Experience”.

Unlike the other guests, when Director Wang proposed this task, Ji Xizhi already had ideas in mind.

It was only until now that she had finally settled on them.
