Rise and Slay: From Scandal Queen to Academic Genius

Chapter 421 396: Scamming the Variety Show Director with Ji Xizhi?


The huge news from Fashion Night kept going for an entire week, and the heat didn’t cool down one bit.

Numerous reporters contacted Ji Xizhi hoping to interview her to understand the situation at the time, but all were turned away.

Ji Xizhi gradually entered a semi-retirement from the public eye, except for occasional appearances in the Zhi Fa CP supertopic, she hardly appeared in the public view.

However, it seems that the more Ji Xizhi tries to hide, the more the netizens get rebellious.

During the time Ji Xizhi stayed away, the topics related to her on the internet skyrocketed, no other celebrity has ever achieved what Ji Xizhi did, and none could disappear as thoroughly as she could.

Those black fans who once called for Ji Xizhi to leave the industry eventually turned white again, and even ended up almost begging for her return.

The variety shows that Ji Xizhi participated in before her semi-retirement were entertaining and real, providing endless gossip!

After Ji Xizhi’s semi-retirement, no one could provide such thrills, after all, who dares to constantly have run-ins with the police like Ji Xizhi?

During the gap when the entire network was mourning.

Major variety show directors began exerting their efforts, trying every possible way to offer Ji Xizhi scripts.

Anything goes, everything is offered.

There was even a director who refused to give up, chasing to block Ji Xizhi at Qing University’s gate.

Ji Xizhi attending Qing University is now something everyone online knows.

However, it’s a school after all, and Ji Xizhi’s fame precedes her, so usually, there are no fans or paparazzi coming around.

Ji Xizhi doesn’t dress up for school, just goes casually.

This morning, at six.

With a backpack on, Ji Xizhi had just reached the school gate when she heard an urgent voice shout from behind.

“Teacher Ji—my Teacher Ji——————”

Ji Xizhi turned her head and saw a woman wearing black-framed glasses rushing towards her.

The sky was still early, the woman’s lip color was pale, and her hair was disheveled, making one wonder if some unscientific fan had escaped from a cross-border law enforcement organization!

Ji Xizhi wasn’t too worried about these situations, she saw the woman couldn’t stop her rush, so she proactively reached out to support her.

After helping her, Ji Xizhi greeted her.

“Hello, do you need something from me?”

The woman barely managed to stand steadily and then showed Ji Xizhi a flattering smile.

“Hello Teacher Ji, hello, I’m Liao Xin from the staff of ‘Bumping Love’. I’m here on behalf of our program to invite Teacher Ji to participate in our next recording!”

As Liao Xin spoke, she handed over the document she was holding to Ji Xizhi.

“Teacher Ji, as long as you agree to participate in our love reality show, we’re willing to put in any effort, or if there’s anything you want, feel free to mention it, we can discuss it!”

Hearing this part, Ji Xizhi understood.

However, many directors before Liao Xin had already said these words to her.

Ji Xizhi refused Liao Xin just like she had refused the other directors.

“Sorry, I’m not planning on participating in any variety shows for now.”

Liao Xin: “Teacher Ji, we’re genuinely inviting you! Very sincerely!!!”

Ji Xizhi continued to shake her head.

Seeing Ji Xizhi was about to turn around, Liao Xin got flustered and without thinking, shouted:

“Teacher Ji, we’re a love reality show, we’re a love variety show!”

“What a great program to popularize marriage law!”

“Our program directors now only care about love, not about marriage at all, does this seem right to you?”

“Can’t you at least come to our program to give our directors a big lesson?”

Liao Xin was not very old, she participated in the love reality show, and then was entrusted with the heavy responsibility by the director to ensure that Ji Xizhi would join their program for an episode.

Despite having little work experience, Liao Xin wasn’t a fool.

With someone like Ji Xizhi, even a king wouldn’t be able to invite her, was it logical for the program director to send her to invite Ji Xizhi?

So, Liao Xin, calling out to Ji Xizhi in the end, genuinely felt like beating up the director.

Liao Xin shouted without hope, almost as a way of venting.

Unexpectedly, it actually made Ji Xizhi stop.

Ji Xizhi had reached the school gate but turned back around.

She spoke seriously: “Fighting is illegal.”

“But you can give me the program data to have a look first!”

Liao Xin burst out laughing.

She hurriedly handed over the document in her hands, then also left her contact information.

Ji Xizhi put the items into her bag, and then jogged into the school.

The next day, “Bumping Love” received news from Ji Xizhi.

Ji Xizhi agreed to participate in the recording of the next season of the love reality show.

Then, Director Zhou of “Bumping Love” smugly flaunted this to various other variety show directors on Weibo, following up with five more posts, so the whole internet knew.

[My Zhi Zhi has come out, she’s really out, ahhhh, oh oh oh, yay yay yay spinning and jumping in excitement! Show me Zhi Zhi quickly!]

[Grandma———the star you follow finally came out to participate in events! Hmm? Wait a minute, Ji Xizhi participates in a love reality show? Shocking, she joined a love show!]

[When Director Zhou announced it, I was worried that Ji Xizhi would be deceived; after seeing the variety show of Director Zhou, I started wondering, maybe it’s Director Zhou who’s being deceived?]

[@Director Zhou, are you mentally alright? Where did you invite Ji Xizhi? Was it online chatting? Did someone with a famous name say, “I am Ji Xizhi, give me money”? Just a reminder, be cautious with online chats, make sure you haven’t been scammed!]

[Ah~~~ another victim! I’m going crazy with longing for Ji Xizhi!]

[What was this scammer thinking, trying to scam the director with Ji Xizhi in a love reality show? That’s impressive~]

[Ah, so it was a scammer? Damn! Got my hopes up for nothing!!!]

Director Zhou promoted it a lot, even claiming the deal with Ji Xizhi was struck at the gate of Qing University, yet no one online believed him. They kindly added him to an anti-fraud campaign, advising more caution and suggesting to download the anti-scam app on his phone.

Director Zhou:……Speechless, truly speechless!

Never seen fans who are so immune to oil and salt!

The netizens continued with the anti-fraud campaign against Director Zhou until the next episode of “Bumping Love” aired.

“Bumping Love” is a love reality show broadcast live every Friday night, primarily inviting non-entertainment industry guests who are generally around thirty, focusing on adult romance.

The show has a total of four male guests and four female guests, living together in a villa for 30 days, speed dating and matchmaking, with another four entertainment industry stars invited as love mentors, serving as the show’s love catalysts to closely follow and encourage romantic interactions.

The episode Ji Xizhi participated in was already the second to last episode of “Bumping Love”.

In the love reality show, the direction of romantic interests among the couples was already apparent; both the love mentors and the audience who followed the show had analyzed it several times.

Ji Xizhi was invited this time as a special guest mentor arriving at the program’s recording site.
