Chapter 310: Chapter 289: The Joy of Being Swindled

The trending search was chaotic all night. Ever since Bai Zhe’s apology post started with Ji Xi Zhi saying they weren’t familiar, the comment section became unbearable.

Setting aside the mockery of him clinging on, more so, the viral trend of the incident where his pants ripped was brought back up. In just a single day, the agency spent a huge amount to pull down the trending search only for it to make a glorious return, accompanied by a small wave of fans leaving.

He’s a popular member of the group, but the group is about to disband, and everyone wants to turn fans into their exclusive supporters. However, due to his actions, fans just slipped away.

Bai Zhe was so furious he couldn’t sleep the whole night.

He simply couldn’t comprehend. He had already agreed to apologize and clarify, yet Ji Xi Zhi was so disrespectful, openly tearing into him on Weibo.

With the situation already like this, Bai Zhe staying in “Life Experience” for further filming holds no benefit for him. He just packed his things at around four or five in the morning when the other guests were still asleep, found Director Wang, and casually made up an excuse to quit the filming.

Director Wang didn’t stop him. He, too, has seen many tactics Bai Zhe used against Ji Xi Zhi in the entertainment circle, which he deeply despises, especially when Bai Zhe showed total disregard for the reputation of the “Life Experience” program.

Hearing Bai Zhe wanted to quit the show in the morning, Director Wang lightly agreed, his expression filled with a strong sense of concern:

“Since you’re not feeling well, you can quit the show early. Our program team is very understanding, it’s all good!”

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhe’s spirits slightly revived from the ridicule on trending search overnight.

The “Life Experience” program team had at least one normal person. Their group hadn’t disbanded yet, and their commercial value was still there. Until the last minute, who knows which one among them will develop better once the disband occurs. Director Wang, shooting a variety show, doesn’t butter him up; where will he find guests for the show soon?!

Bai Zhe slightly lifted his chin: “I see Director Wang is a straightforward person, in the future…”

He was about to say there’s still room for cooperation in the future.

The sentence remained unfinished.

Director Wang’s assistant pulled out a contract from somewhere, flipping through several pages swiftly, turned to a clause a bit further in the contract, and quickly displayed it in front of Bai Zhe.

“According to the contract terms, due to personal reasons for halting recording, a compensation of three million is required. Being straightforward, I won’t sue you; you’ll just need to compensate directly to the public account.” The most update n0vels are published on Nov3lFɪre.ɴet

Director Wang has conditioned reflexes from the shenanigans Ji Xi Zhi pulled in earlier episodes. Now filming, not to mention contracts for guest signings, even rental agreements for housing, venues, and the contracts with villagers are all brought here honestly.

Nothing much, just terribly afraid of being set up by Ji Xi Zhi! PTSD-ed!!!

Bai Zhe was preparing to offer a chance for future collaborations: “…………” You call yourself straightforward?! Are you out of your mind!

Bai Zhe nearly spat a curse onto the contract, but seeing the familiar stamps and signatures, he shuddered suddenly.

He’d been in the program team for just two days, initially required the company spending a lot to suppress the trending topic; now facing a hefty breach penalty, money spent is supposed to achieve results, but now not even a splash was made, just crashed his image, he dared not imagine how the company would punish him!

Bai Zhe’s lips were bitten blue, regretting for the umpteenth time not truly studying law.

He considered reversing and staying but the blatant disdain and coldness on Director Wang’s face made him realize staying will probably worsen his reputation.

Bai Zhe gritted his teeth agreeing to settle the compensation, dragging his luggage ready to leave.

Holding the compensation fee, Director Wang felt quite joyful early in the morning, turning to his assistant he said: “Prepare it, once Bai Zhe’s compensation is received donate it, give it to the newcomers in the entertainment world as a lawsuit fund, hoping everyone in the circle dare to stand up bravely in future, eradicate evil!”

Carrying luggage back, Bai Zhe stumbled upon Director Wang’s final phrase, tripped hard over the threshold almost having a massive fall.

Director Wang unexpectedly received a sum of money early in the morning, promptly erased all woes, truly experiencing the bliss Ji Xi Zhi felt when setting him up for money.

Just marvelous!

Director Wang, thoroughly delighted, stretched out yawning, and happily went out for a run.

–

Ji Xi Zhi stayed up late last night rushing a paper, slept a bit late, checked Weibo before sleeping, noticing the meme contest was ongoing, liked posts by several app official Weibo actively working on memes, then advised fans to sleep early, concluding this battle.

Finished everything, she quietly returned to her room for sleep.

Next morning, while other guests woke, Ji Xi Zhi hadn’t.

Even Le Qiqi woke up, mainly because she feared missing any bizarre drama today, woke up proactively.

The guests all woke naturally, first sighted Ji Xi Zhi still asleep, unusual!

Checking the time again, finding Director Wang didn’t torment them this morning, even more unusual!

Such rarity!

Anyway, Ji Xi Zhi worked late last night, personally ensured fans returned to the hotel late, naturally everyone was understanding, waking trying to be quiet, fearing disturbing Ji Xi Zhi.

You Yingmeng woke rather quickly, casually donned clothes, took out her phone scrolling through Weibo.

Just refreshed, encountering the whole commotion from the night, a glance rounding marketing accounts summarizing, coupled with boundless “beautiful” Ji Xi Zhi memes flooding her eye, You Yingmeng was speechless.

“Last night! Last night Zhi Zhi had an incident!”
