Rise and Slay: From Scandal Queen to Academic Genius

Chapter 407 382: Unsafe Online Chatting Wallet Weeps


Zhi Zhi left the drama crew, only to find out how many scandals President Chen was involved in.

Since the day Shen Yeyi stepped up and announced she would sue Hangxing Entertainment, seven or eight artists gradually came forward on Weibo to testify.

Among them, half were current artists under Hangxing Entertainment, some had left after much hardship, and the most shocking was a newcomer who committed suicide, whose family had stepped forward.

The girl encountered a scout from Hangxing Entertainment during her art exam, signed a contract with them, but never managed to become famous. In the end, like Shen Yeyi, she was forced to sleep with various people for resources and ultimately committed suicide.

She wasn’t even as well-known as Shen Yeyi and didn’t have any fans. News of her suicide didn’t even spread.

It wasn’t until now that it was brought back into public attention.

This only happened after Ji Xi threatened to sue Hangxing Entertainment again. Even if it was like hitting a rock with an egg, Shen Yeyi insisted on suing Hangxing Entertainment, prompting others to step forward again.

More and more artists helped by reposting and commenting on Shen Yeyi’s and other involved people’s posts on Weibo.

It’s not that everyone in the entertainment circle has great relationships; many are simply choosing sides to gain favor.

After all, the incident with Shen Yeyi and Hangxing Entertainment had already escalated to the authorities, the truth was undeniable, and Ji Xi announced another lawsuit against Hangxing Entertainment, making it very clear who would win.

Now, anyone who lends a hand to criticize Hangxing Entertainment in the court of public opinion gains goodwill from the public for free—who wouldn’t want that?

Of course, beyond gaining public goodwill, many also want to secure a path of escape for themselves!

Who’s to say Shen Yeyi’s present predicament couldn’t be their future?

The chaotic state of the entertainment industry needs a thorough cleanse!

All artists are hoping for such an opportunity.

The remaining fans are desperately advocating for their beloved idols to be treated fairly!

The V Family has also understood the sentiments of the gossip-loving crowd these days.

They invited Ji Xi to join their newly established studio.

Initially, Ji Xi didn’t have much interest in collaborating with the V Family, but after seeing the earnest messages and some guarantee clauses they sent, she agreed to the collaboration.

The newly established studio of the V Family was finally named Broken Light Studio.

Seizing the days following Ji Xi’s agreement to collaborate, the V Family publicly announced the matter.

[Wow, wow, Zhi Zhi is finally going to make a heavy hit in the entertainment industry?!]

[When has Ji Xi ever shown mercy?]

[Broken Light… what a great name, and the V Family has really chosen the perfect time to partner with Ji Xi! But one thing puzzles me: isn’t the V Family in the clothing business?]

[Tsk tsk, you totally don’t get it—whose venture is the V Family? Go take a look!]

[The Feng Family!!! Wow, no wonder the V Family dares to step up now! Impressive——————]

[I heard the eldest young master of the Feng Family was the one who finally made the decision; Young Master Feng Qin only recently returned to the country, refusing to follow his family’s arrangements to get married, saying he wants to go solo!]

[Haha, that’s what a young master does, directly choosing Ji Xi!]

The news of Ji Xi’s collaboration with the newly formed Broken Light Studio quickly spread throughout the entertainment circle, and the V Family even grandly announced to the public that Broken Light Studio would assist with Shen Yeyi’s lawsuit against Hangxing Entertainment.

Shen Yeyi’s fans, along with some concerned fans about her future resources, all breathed a sigh of relief.

Hangxing Entertainment is really dead this time!

The collaboration model between Ji Xi and the V Family is very simple; they also discussed in advance to ensure it would not affect her studies.

So after making the collaboration public, Ji Xi still followed her routine and went back to her school office.

Ji Xi has indeed been quite busy recently, and Chu Ang hadn’t been able to talk to Ji Xi for several days.

The moment he saw Ji Xi, he enthusiastically slapped his thigh.

“Senior sister… I mean, junior sister! You have no idea, your collaboration with the eldest young master of the Feng Family has caused quite the stir in the entire academy!”

“Yan Rui and his group kept saying something about being halfway through, but look at them now~ Yan Rui couldn’t even manage to speak with Feng Qin at the gala, and the Feng Family instead sought you for collaboration! Serves them right!”

“Just asking, does it hurt to get slapped like this!”

Chu Ang was sitting in a wheelchair, laughing so hard that he nearly broke his legs again.

Ji Xi wasn’t really listening to what Chu Ang was saying; she just stared at his legs and asked, “What happened…?”

Chu Ang’s laughter hadn’t even stopped before he replied, “Oh, I laughed too hard, didn’t notice the stairs, and fell, breaking both legs!”

Ji Xi: “…”

Ji Xi and the V Family’s collaboration announcement only came out not long ago, and it was just around this time.

The public service magazine on legal knowledge that Ji Xi shot earlier was also released at this time.

Previously, these public service magazines rarely featured celebrities, opting instead for common people in ordinary jobs on the covers.

This was the first time they chose a celebrity.

From the time they selected Ji Xi until now, she has grown significantly in the entertainment circle.

Such public service magazines usually focus on the title content on the cover, and placing it alongside a celebrity often feels incongruous, especially with a big celebrity, the attention shifts away.

But now, with Ji Xi on the cover, everything suddenly seems harmonious and complementary.

The magazine sold out within half an hour of being released.

Major apps were flooded with posts like, “I got a few copies,” “I got over a dozen copies.”

Not just for Ji Xi, but for themselves and their families!

Everyone got a copy because learning more about the law has no downside!

Ji Xi’s name has basically been a permanent resident on the trending list these days.

Meanwhile, Mr. Ji and Ji Fengyuan of the Ji Group had also become residents of WeChat these past few days.

He kept scrolling through WeChat on his phone.

Since the day he sent a friend request to Ji Xi, it had expired because she never accepted!

Ji Fengyuan initially thought maybe he had the wrong WeChat ID for Ji Xi, so he contacted friends in the entertainment industry to verify that her ID was indeed in use.

The second time he sent a request, he even arrogantly added the note “Mr. Ji.”

He hoped that when Ji Xi saw this note, she would approve it immediately.

But unexpectedly, not only was the request not approved, his WeChat ID was soon reported as fraud for impersonating Mr. Ji.

Ji Fengyuan was so angry he could explode.

Impersonate… Mr. Ji? He really is Mr. Ji!!!

Of course, Ji Xi didn’t know Ji Fengyuan would be so upset. She had indeed seen the friend request from “Mr. Ji” a few days ago.

But the thing is, she already had Mr. Ji, Ji Tingzhou, on her contact list.

Now, another random Mr. Ji popped up wanting to add her, so Ji Xi took a screenshot and asked if it was Ji Tingzhou’s secondary account.

Ji Tingzhou denied it and didn’t give any further explanation.

Ji Xi naturally categorized this Mr. Ji under online fraud.

After all, when online communication is irresponsible, your wallet cries tears.

After reporting him, Ji Xi even blocked Ji Fengyuan!
