Rise and Slay: From Scandal Queen to Academic Genius

Chapter 400: Chapter 377: There’s a Kind of Fandom Called Chasing Ji Xizhi

Less than a year later, Ji Xizhi once again posted a similar Weibo.

The situation was entirely different from last year. Last year, Ji Xizhi had nothing, and when she posted that Weibo, the netizens only mocked and attacked.

But this year, when Ji Xizhi posted that Weibo.

#JiXizhiSuesHangxingEntertainmentAgain# instantly made a comeback on the trending list, there was no need to open a new entry; the old entry surged back up directly.

[Twice the charm! Hangxing Entertainment, you deserve it, you absolutely deserve it!]

[What’s Ji Xizhi suing for this time? Helping Shen Yeyi?]

[Seems not, you can see Qi Zheng’s Weibo for details, it seems that the intentional murder at the seaside is related to Hangxing Entertainment, Hangxing Entertainment is really done for this time!]

[Next up, Hangxing Entertainment goes bankrupt! This rotten-to-the-core entertainment company should get out of the industry sooner!]

[Agreed, Hangxing Entertainment, get out of the entertainment industry!!!]

From last year to this year, the cries for getting out of the entertainment industry have shifted from Ji Xizhi to Hangxing Entertainment, and the momentum is even bigger and more intense.

President Huang of Hangxing Entertainment looked at the top trending hashtag, wishing he could kill Ji Xizhi on the spot.

"This Ji Xizhi is like a ghost that won’t go away!!!"

This time, he hadn’t touched Ji Xizhi at all, yet she kept hounding and wouldn’t let go, what’s her problem!

But before he could swear a couple more times, he saw another Weibo triggered by the trending topic from Qi Zheng.

Ji Xizhi didn’t say much on her Weibo.

However, Qi Zheng’s Weibo had a lot more to say.

The incident of intentional inducement to murder at the seaside was the least of it, there was more that Hangxing Entertainment did behind the scenes, he didn’t even know when these ended up with Qi Zheng.

President Huang watched as the phone slipped from his hand onto the table.

"Click."

A moment later, President Huang dialed Ji Fengyuan’s number.

"Mr. Ji, Mr. Ji, you must help me this time, you promised to protect me!"

Ji Fengyuan’s voice was icy: "I promised to keep you out, but only if you didn’t get involved with President Chen. You’ve gotten involved with President Chen, and now that President Chen is finished, I can’t save you!"

"Mr. Ji, if I go in, you won’t escape responsibility either..."

Ji Fengyuan: "President Huang, you need to be clear, I didn’t do anything!"

"No, Mr. Ji, Mr. Ji......"

After posting the Weibo, Ji Xizhi didn’t care about the chaotic situation at Hangxing Entertainment; she got up and left the hotel after posting.

"Rival in Love" wrapped up early yesterday, and such a big event happened.

Fortunately, they could still shoot today as scheduled.

However, one trending post after another emerged last night, and Director Jin also learned about the reason for the events. Today, she specifically made some adjustments, slightly adjusting the shooting schedule, hoping to let the female lead Shen Yeyi have a good rest before continuing filming.

Ji Xizhi got up early and, since it wasn’t yet time for shooting, she decided to do as a regular college student would: go for a morning run, have breakfast at the cafeteria, and then maybe study a bit in the classroom while waiting for filming to start.

Ji Xizhi had her schedule well arranged.

And the "Rival in Love" crew’s group of early-eight college students had also set up their morning schedules. Yesterday, news of Ji Xizhi joining the crew spread throughout the whole school, and those who skipped classes, did part-time outside, or took leave to go home all returned today just to catch a glimpse of Ji Xizhi.

Today’s shooting location was still in the original building, and many early-eight college students showed up at six in the morning, hoping to run into Ji Xizhi downstairs.

Morning run check-in, find a substitute who doesn’t chase stars!

Breakfast, skipped without a big issue!

As for morning self-study, missing a day isn’t a big deal!

Anyway, they resolved to stay outside the shooting building until they could catch a glimpse of Ji Xizhi.

A group of people waited from six till eight, and as classes were about to start, they hadn’t even caught a shadow of Ji Xizhi.

"What’s going on, my legs are numb! Why hasn’t Ji Xizhi come yet?"

"I don’t know why, but I have this strange feeling rising in my heart, like the kind of helplessness when you run into your idol without washing your hair or run into your ex while taking out the trash in pajamas!"

"Murphy’s Law? No way, no way, I even didn’t finish my homework last night to get up early today, and now you tell me this?"

The students began to feel a bit disoriented as they chatted.

Someone pulled out their phone, opened the school forum, initially intending to search for news on whether the crew was still shooting at the school today, only to find the news had flooded the forum.

"Shocking! Ran into Ji Xizhi at the track while helping three roommates check-in for morning run! Ji Xizhi even helped me check in for two of my roommates, ahh~ She’s so pretty~"

"Damn, turns out Ji Xizhi eats buns in the morning too! Damnit, my grandma lied saying eating buns causes wrinkles, not a single wrinkle on Ji Xizhi’s face!"

"Hmm? Isn’t that Ji Xizhi, the celebrity filming at our school? Why did I think I saw her enter the library reading room just now?"

"Yes, that’s right, she’s sitting right across from me reading (So focused I feel bad for playing on my phone, I feel ashamed!)

The top posts on the forum already had thousands of responses.

And the students waiting outside the shooting building were speechless: "..." highlighting an element of surprise is it? Their hearts were broken!

Not long after, an unknown hashtag titled #There’saLovecalledRevenge# bizarrely floated to the top of the trends.

People had only heard of love types like letting go/fulfillment/true love, and hadn’t heard of revenge in love; never mind the ridiculous title, all the topics inside were about Ji Xizhi.

At first passersby thought it was netizens playing with memes early in the morning, but when they opened it they saw.

Oh sorry, it’s not memes, it’s more like a heart attack!

#There’saStalkingCalledChasingJiXizhi# suddenly appeared!

...

Ji Xizhi quietly studied in the library for a while, and when the crew officially started filming, she set off from the library to the shooting building.

She carried a bag, mingling with all the early eight college students rushing to class, swiftly making her way across campus, arriving at the crew at the last second.

As Ji Xizhi arrived, Qiu Hu also happened to reach the crew.

They met in the corridor from different staircase entrances.

One person was alone, fresh and neat, with an even breathing rhythm;

The other was followed by five or six bodyguards, panting heavily, and his hairstyle was a complete mess.

Qiu Hu looked at Ji Xizhi, both surprised and curious:

"Good morning, Teacher Ji! You came... alone?"

The "Rival in Love" crew had been shooting at the school for a few days, with fans blocking the downstairs for days.

Qiu Hu was the most heavily chased by fans, having to go through it every time he went downstairs.

Qiu Hu was surrounded by several bodyguards and ended up in such a state.

How did Ji Xizhi come up so effortlessly alone?

"With so many fans downstairs, none of them stopped you?" Qiu Hu wondered.

It’s impossible, Ji Xizhi’s fans outnumber his, there’s no way they would only block him and not Ji Xizhi!

Before Qiu Hu could speculate further, Ji Xizhi had already calmly answered him: "Oh, I didn’t come from downstairs."

"I went to the library in the morning and just came over through the corridor next to the library."

The university where "Rival in Love" was being filmed had several buildings connected by corridors, and the one utilized by the crew happened to be one, but getting there from the library side required taking a roundabout way; the crew members shooting on campus would never possibly take the longer route from the library.

Not to mention cumbersome, no one in the crew likely even knew such a route existed.

So fans squatting for Qiu Hu also would never choose to squat at the corridor side.

Ji Xizhi happened to exploit this and walked over with ease.

Qiu Hu: "?"

Ji Xizhi being a ghost student of the university, he couldn’t believe it!
