Rise and Slay: From Scandal Queen to Academic Genius

Chapter 374 - 351: Do You Want to Be the Female Lead?


Chapter 374: Chapter 351: Do You Want to Be the Female Lead?

Director Wang’s loud shout startled both Ji Xi and Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan was fiercely battling with her phone just a second ago and now she looked up, “Zhi Zhi, have you gotten this close with Director Wang?”

The other guests who joined the group call couldn’t help but diss Director Wang.

Zhu Xiu’an: “Uncle Wang, when did you get in? Get out! Who are you calling sister!”

Director Wang: “You dumb dog, who are you calling Uncle!”

The two were at each other’s throats, but Ji Xi opened her mouth and interrupted the squabble.

Ji Xi: “Director Wang, act normal.”

Director Wang: “…”

Director Wang really found it hard to act normal now; given tonight’s events, there was no way he’d be sleeping.

When he called, the first thing he thought of was to send Ji Xi clips from the program extracted from the hot searches.

None of them expected Zhong Yulu would conspire with Brother Sleep to trap Ji Xi, but the matter is already handed over to the police. All Director Wang could do was send the uncut video version to Ji Xi.

When the other guests saw what Director Wang sent, everyone fell into silence.

Sheng Yaoyao wanted to ask Ji Xi what she planned to do but, looking at tonight’s hot searches, she couldn’t muster the courage.

No one took the initiative to ask what Ji Xi intended to do.

However, Ji Xi was quick to act. Without keeping everyone curious for too long, she hung up the group call and briefly chatted with the legitimate journalists from before.

Then she opened up Weibo again.

Her previous Weibo post had called out Zhong Yulu’s small account, urging her to face the issue. In less than thirty minutes since it was posted, comments had almost reached a million.

Zhong Yulu did not respond, neither did her small account.

Ji Xi didn’t revisit her previous post but instead posted a new one.

Ji Xi V: Regarding evidence from Brother Sleep’s case, I have submitted everything to the police. Also: online speech isn’t a place outside the law, don’t break the law knowingly.

She didn’t spare another glance at Zhong Yulu.

On the hot search, Zhong Yulu was frantically dealing with one scandal after another, rolling out solution after solution.

The studio had started posting various updates on Weibo.

As for Ji Xi’s discovery of the small account, it was pinned on the assistant, and Zhong Yulu claimed ignorance, leading to the assistant’s firing.

Regarding the incident by the seaside with Brother Sleep, a forced explanation was given that she didn’t notice at the time because she was too tired and resting, inattentive to anything else.

With these explanations and tons of hired hands washing over the story, a few bystanders initially believed it.

Until the knowledgeable crowd, armed with detailed evidence, stepped in.

The small account was used by the assistant? But clearly, the assistant didn’t go with you to “Life Experience,” and posts have location markers. Was the comment from H Province posted by your assistant flying there?

By the seaside, you claim you didn’t see Brother Sleep’s setup, yet why did you apologize multiple times to Ji Xi with a bewildered look?

Photos with comparisons and listed evidence, alongside round-robin questioning, are clear and direct.

Compared to Zhong Yulu Studio’s ambiguous clarifications, failing to present a single evidence photo, relying solely on words.

The credibility is crystal clear.

On Zhong Yulu’s side, struggles still continued, hoping her fans would fight as hard as the knowledgeable crowd, only to find her fan group, too, was collapsing entirely.

Zhong Yulu’s fans knew her better than anyone else, an action or a glance, they understood perfectly.

With the evidence listed by the knowledgeable crowd, they could provide answers without asking Zhong Yulu.

After answering, there’s only de-fanning left.

[Goodbye, never see again!]

[Since you forgot your original intention and started flirting with Ji Fengyuan, I felt weird but always respected you, wanted you happy, but I truly can’t accept these dark things, wish you well henceforth!]

[Feel awful, don’t know when you changed to this, initially you were so successful, so hardworking, so bright like sunshine, you taught me to be honest, but now I feel I really made a mistake, wrong to be a fan of you!]

[Being your fan for these years, call me blind! I’d wish to stab my eyes out!]

[One thing, not sure I should say, in last episode of “Life Experience,” were you the one who broke the light when Ji Xi went on stage? I suspected long before but felt you and Ji Xi had no hatred, didn’t think much.]

[…What else am I unaware of? I’m really, about to vomit…]

Amidst Zhong Yulu’s falling public goodwill, her fans were in the most pain, some even realized later and exposed more scandals.

The knowledgeable group originally battled Zhong Yulu’s fans, but seeing those fans changing their Weibo avatars to black.

No one continued with aggressive remarks, nor did they urge them to switch fan allegiance to Ji Xi.

All retreated like a tide, silently collecting more evidence.

On Zhong Yulu’s end, seeing the fan count sharply decrease, she couldn’t comprehend, frantically shouting:

“Lawyer letters, are you all dead? Hire lawyers, hurry hire the best lawyers, sue them, I’ll sue all of them!”

“Why de-fan, I really didn’t do anything, regarding Brother Sleep’s case, wasn’t me who broke the boat, why blame me for everything!”

“I’m the female lead, Ji Xi should already be gone! I just sent her to the ending she deserved!”

Moments later, Zhong Yulu’s agent frowned standing before her.

“The peace termination with Director Wang broke down, penalty fee still owed.”

“Also C endorsement, Xipi drinks, skincare products… various endorsements compensation fees all need funds.”

“Can’t even cover these, let alone hiring lawyers! Plus Ji Xi’s side, you likely may involve as Brother Sleep’s accomplice…”

“Can’t handle these matters anymore, you’d better seek wiser solutions!” Thıs content belongs to 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝕟𝕖𝕥

As the agent left home, Zhong Yulu began to clench her head and cried bitterly.

She still couldn’t understand, initially she didn’t wish anything bad upon Ji Xi, how did it come to this?

Many in the entertainment industry break laws, why only focus on her…

The storm raged the whole night, eventually, as she wished, all the hot searches were related to Zhong Yulu.

“Life Experience” was also affected, but due to Zhong Yulu’s prior series of chaotic actions, her voluntary Weibo announcement quitting the program group actually detached the program group from the situation.

After posting the final tweet, Ji Xi didn’t log back on to check.

To her, whatever happens to Zhong Yulu doesn’t affect her, breaking the law bears its legal penalties.

Ji Xi reviewed Xiao Yuan’s recent tasks, then climbed onto bed and went to sleep.

This episode of “Life Experience” truly tired her, lying on the bed she quickly entered the land of dreams.

In her dream, a book appeared in her line of sight once again.

Compared to when she saw it days before, the glow from this book had dimmed quite a bit.

Just upon her arrival, an eager line slowly appeared atop the book.

“Upon assessment, you seem to fit the book’s female protagonist persona, do you wish to become the female lead? You can replace Zhong Yulu as the book’s female lead!”

“If you become the book’s female lead, the world will follow your wishes, you’ll be the center of the world, you can teach everyone the law, change the world rules however you wish, and the male lead in the book will belong to you!”
