Chapter 378: Chapter 355: Who Is This Cool Guy?

The visitor is Director Wang.

Director Wang is dressed rather formally today, with a file bag tucked under his arm, looking quite different from his usual laid-back appearance on the show.

Ji Xizhi was quite surprised when she saw Director Wang.

Regarding last night’s trending topic, Director Wang had also been busy all night, working with the Dark Shark King Director Alliance to formulate a response from the official account.

Logically speaking, he should be resting by now, so why is he coming over to see her?

Ji Xizhi thought this to herself, and outright asked him.

“Director Wang? What brings you here?”

Director Wang had handled the show’s affairs all night, met with investors in the morning, and despite being exhausted and sleepy, he ran over to find Ji Xizhi, only to be greeted with such a lukewarm question.

He was so annoyed that he puffed up his cheeks in indignation: “What? I can’t come? With the sort of relationship we have, I can’t come to your house?”

With those words.

Ji Xizhi’s attitude suddenly shifted, her eyes lighting up as she looked at Director Wang, her voice growing serious as she replied.

“You can absolutely come! Our relationship is indeed quite good!”

Saying this, she warmly invited Director Wang to come in.

Seeing Ji Xizhi so obliging, Director Wang’s mood improved instantly, and he hummed as he stepped inside.

Director Wang came to see Ji Xizhi for a very important matter today, and after a bit of teasing at the door, he intended to discuss business with her once inside.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard the hysterical yet comedic laughter from the large TV screen in the living room.

Xiao Yuan turned back to greet Director Xu, and attempted to pour some water but was stopped by Director Xu.

Director Wang clicked his tongue twice, then turned to Ji Xizhi and said, “I was wondering what you were up to, I almost forgot today’s episode of Escape was airing. It’s a shame, I wanted to watch it earlier, especially after Director Xu brought all the guests to support our ’Life Experience’. I owe it to him to check out Director Xu’s show and support it live~ Laugh at Director Xu being tormented by Ji Xizhi!”

However, he didn’t say the last sentence out loud in front of Ji Xizhi.

Thinking to himself, as this episode of Escape was already online, watching the replay later would be the same, seeing as Director Xu wouldn’t escape his playful jab!

As soon as Director Wang began to express his regret at missing the show, Ji Xizhi smiled and chimed in.

She let out a soft “Hey~”, then pointed to the TV screen where Escape was ending, and said, “No need to regret, you can support it now!”

This comment left Director Wang bewildered, “Isn’t it almost over?”

Ji Xizhi’s lips curved slightly, “But the promotion hasn’t started yet, Director Wang can help promote Escape being aired!”

She had watched the whole episode, and only just now saw the barrage seeking hidden makeup tutorial, which gave her the idea.

Since fans wanted to see it, she decided to make the promotional video for Escape featuring this.

And naturally, the make-up artist would be Director Wang, who was just lamenting earlier.

Seeing that Director Wang was upset he couldn’t support Director Xu, Ji Xizhi offered him a chance to help Escaped with the promotion.

Director Wang hadn’t even had a chance to say why he came before Ji Xizhi pressed him down at the table, and watched as Ji Xizhi and Xiao Yuan picked up the makeup tools, then started filming.

Director Wang sensed something wasn’t right, “Ji Xizhi, this looks quite troublesome, how about I go back and do a live promotion, for now, I’ll just retweet it on Weibo, and later I have something to tell you…”

He had only meant it as polite conversation before, yet Ji Xizhi took it seriously, he intended to mock Director Xu! Where did he plan to promote for Director Xu?

Ji Xizhi aimed her phone camera at Director Wang and adjusted the angle and lighting, “It’s not troublesome, it’ll be quick. We’ll just shoot a promotional video together!”

As soon as she finished talking, Ji Xizhi’s hand was already positioned on his forehead.

Director Wang: “???”

What followed was the sensation of various makeup brushes sweeping across his face.

Accompanied by Ji Xizhi’s articulately clear explanation.

“First, we need to observe, grasping different person’s features to disguise them well!”

“It’s best to do transformation and makeup simultaneously, using varied terrains, temperatures, and seasons to make judgements.”

“Many criminals once attempted to evade capture via cosmetic surgery, though ultimately they can’t escape justice. Identifying a person’s disguise is quite simple…”

As Ji Xizhi worked on Director Wang’s face, she sporadically explained to Xiao Yuan, who was filming with her phone.

The promotional video wrapped up, long after Escape had finished airing.

Yet, the delight brought by this episode of Escape certainly continued to unfold, trending online with hashtag after hashtag.

Even #Hahaha# was linked to this episode, fans and viewers alike were laughing until they sounded like geese.

Escape’s official account released the main script and master gameplay of the episode after broadcast.

However, the viewers expressed: currently, not interested at all!

[Is the plot important? What’s important is, everyone managed to escape, and nothing could hold back Ji Xizhi!]

[Hahaha that segment of hers politely “borrowing” weapons from ghosts, even pulling off the bandages, made me laugh until I vomited, I really can’t handle this unexpected twist, laughed so hard even aliens heard my laugh and dared not attack Earth!]

[I’m doomed, ever since watching this chaotic episode, I feel I can’t watch other serious plot-driven episodes of Escape, my brain feels stuck in this episode!]

[I’m staff for the master gameplay, I must say: experiencing Ji Xizhi’s gameplay style was incredible! Ji Xizhi style Escape is supreme!]

[Someone please plead Director Xu to bring Ji Xizhi as a special guest in Escape! Fight Uncle Wang!]

Fans on Weibo clamored over to Ji Xizhi’s account, and before they could start spamming, they saw Ji Xizhi’s Weibo quickly updated with a video.

The video was tagged with Escape and had a significant length even after editing.

Everyone clicked to watch, and the video started with the most common template style, editing together a cool guy half-hidden behind a lute. Updates are released by NoveI-Fire.ɴet

The photos were cut quickly, anyone could tell it was a man, though his full face wasn’t visible, he looked quite handsome from what was seen.

If it was only just a guy, it wouldn’t be so bad, but most importantly, Ji Xizhi’s hand was affectionately stroking the handsome man’s face, with the background showing it was at Ji Xizhi’s home! This really startled the fans!

Ji Xizhi had previously live-streamed from her home, fans who’ve seen it recognized its appearance, and now seeing someone appear there suddenly, especially on Ji Xizhi’s official Weibo,

A group of fans who came intending to recruit for Escape instead saw this video, and they couldn’t wait for the video to end, quickly exited the video and began a furious comment stream.

[Oh oh oh oh damn, my world collapsed—Ji Xizhi actually announced it officially? Ji Xizhi actually has a partner, oh dear oh dear!]

[Who is this cool guy? Someone outside the circle?! Took a screenshot to pause and look, seems familiar! But I can’t recall, does anyone know?]

[Cool guy—? Director Wang will laugh awake at night hearing this, just pull that progress bar slightly further back next time!]
