Chapter 345: Chapter 323: Is This Really the Best Timing?

The beginning of the reversal of Ji Xizhi’s reputation in the entertainment industry coincided with the time when Ji Xizhi started studying law and preparing for graduate exams at Qing University.

Apart from Ji Xizhi herself, no one knew that Ji Xizhi had transmigrated from a book.

Ji Yezong imposed this background on Ji Xizhi and overturned Ji Xizhi’s fundamental purpose of studying law, which can be said to have shaken the very foundation of Ji Xizhi.

In addition, Ji Xizhi was right in the whirlwind of top-tier traffic in the entertainment circle, and as soon as this statement was made, it was like putting Ji Xizhi on the grill.

Many people began to dig deep into Ji Xizhi’s past.

From the time Ji Xizhi entered the industry, every outfit and expense of hers was exposed thoroughly.

Some even took the opportunity to speak up for Hangxing Entertainment.

[When Ji Xizhi sued Hangxing Entertainment, she claimed they were harsh to their employees. But can you see this branded clothing and bags she has? Which other minor celebrities in the industry have such a setup!]

[Indeed, truth to be told, I didn’t dare to speak before, but now I feel quite strange. My obscure idol still wears clothes from Taobao!]

[That agent might indeed not have been good to Ji Xizhi, but what did Hangxing Entertainment do wrong? At most, they just recruited a piece of trash!]

[Isn’t it normal for contracts in the entertainment industry to be a bit different? After all, the entertainment industry is not the same as us regular workers~]

[Why hasn’t Ji Xizhi responded yet? Isn’t “Life Experience” also broadcasting live? @Life Experience Official Blog @Ji Xizhi, come out and respond!]

The bystanders had already started tagging Ji Xizhi because Ji Xizhi didn’t have a studio, let alone a company, so everyone simply tagged the official blog of “Life Experience” directly.

Moreover, speaking of which, the director of “Life Experience,” Director Wang, and the director of “National Mediation” had some friction before, and they are known as arch-enemies who don’t associate in the industry.

With the two sides’ camps opposing each other, the conflict would be even more entertaining if it escalated.

President Huang sat in his office, leisurely crossing his legs, editing his Weibo while watching the live broadcast of “National Mediation,” and laughed:

“Mr. Ji, this good show didn’t disappoint you, did it?”

Ji Fengyuan frowned, recalling the previous incidents, still feeling a bit displeased: “Since you already planned to use this program, why did you delay it until now?!”

President Huang chuckled: “Mr. Ji, to make Ji Yezong stand on our side, we must let him see that Ji Xizhi, this cash cow, no longer belongs to him, right?!”

“Moreover, Mr. Ji, don’t you think this is the best timing?”

As President Huang spoke, he paused his hand editing the Weibo and added with a smile, “Mr. Ji, after all, is a person of the upper class and has not experienced how hard it is for those below to climb upward. At necessary times, using a little illegal means is normal. Once a person is gone, everything is gone, and all lawsuits, all evidence, mean nothing!”

Ji Fengyuan gave him a cold look, “Keep it clean!”

President Huang glanced at the weather forecast for H Province on his phone, chuckling, “A fierce storm, it really is a good day! The three-thousand-square-meter sea surface is even larger than a land area; it’s difficult even to fish out a body!”

…

When the hashtag #WhyDidJiXizhiSuddenlyStudyLaw# hit the trending list.

President Huang conveniently posted an ambiguous Weibo with the hashtag.

Hangxing Entertainment: #WhyDidJiXizhiSuddenlyStudyLaw# There’s nothing much to say, only that some things are far from what you imagine on the surface.

Indirectly acknowledging what Ji Yezong said on “National Mediation.”

The comeback of Hangxing Entertainment began from here.

The online opinion was instantly overturned, and Hangxing Entertainment’s long-standing poor reputation over the past half-year seemed to be rectified in an instant.

The speed was so fast that even Ji Xizhi’s fans didn’t have time to think about controlling the comments.

President Huang was delighted.

Director Wang, on the other hand, was having a hard time in the “Life Experience” program group.

“What’s going on?!”

He felt that his program group was a bit cursed. First, Bai Zhe caused a contract termination, then early this morning, the group got tangled in village affairs, causing the entire staff and guests to search for people in the dark, and the live broadcast hadn’t even started by morning.

Finally, with news that the young girl was found in the morning, another news broke out online.

Now, major apps were flooded with demands for the official blog of “Life Experience” and Ji Xizhi to respond.

Yet, at this moment, Ji Xizhi wasn’t even there.

The guests and staff of “Life Experience” went out to help find people early in the morning, and with the news of Sun Qianqian being found just arriving, it finally ended.

Despite the day already dawning, everyone still had to take a boat back to Xianyu Village, and though the distance was not far, today’s weather was terrible, and the sea was rough, making it unsafe to find a small boat back. Director Wang thought about it and simply decided to start the live broadcast and begin recording directly.

The guests and staff were split into groups while searching, and now only half had regrouped at the homestay, with only Sheng Yaoyao and You Yingmeng and Director Wang among the guests being present; the others hadn’t come back yet.

Director Wang chose this time to start the live broadcast, mainly to help Ji Xizhi fend off those online rumors, as Ji Xizhi was the program’s flagship, and if Ji Xizhi crashed, the program would be greatly affected as well.

At least by starting the live broadcast now, fans could know that Ji Xizhi was busy looking for a missing and possibly suicidal villager, and it wasn’t that she wasn’t responding.

But obviously, Director Wang underestimated the audience’s desire to gossip this time; the “Life Experience” live broadcast room just opened, and the traffic had already exploded.

Countless people asked in the barrage, calling for Ji Xizhi to come out and respond.

Director Wang stood in front of the camera to explain to everyone the reason why Ji Xizhi wasn’t present, then began contacting Ji Xizhi in front of all the live viewers.

From phone calls to inquiring the returned guests and staff.

But after asking several people, all said they hadn’t seen Ji Xizhi.

When Zhong Yulu returned to the program group assembly point, Director Wang casually asked her.

Zhong Yulu’s heart skipped a beat when asked and immediately denied it outright without thinking: “No! I haven’t seen her, and we weren’t in the same group!”

Director Wang was eager to find Ji Xizhi and didn’t pay much attention, quickly busying himself with asking others.

After asking around and making more than a dozen phone calls, Director Wang finally got word from a PD who hadn’t returned yet that Ji Xizhi seemed to have rowed a boat to the sea.

Sheng Yaoyao looked worried when hearing this, “No way, with such strong winds on the sea now, and it’s starting to rain. She rowed out and hasn’t returned? Could something really have happened? No, I have to go out and look!”

You Yingmeng: “Yeah, Director Wang, maybe I should go ask the village chief if there are any larger boats or village folk familiar with going out to sea who can help?”

Zhu Xiu’an also got serious: “Maybe we should call the police first; after all, I estimate the police haven’t left yet. I’ll go to the Sun household to check!”

The returning guests were anxiously preparing.

But before Director Wang could say anything, his phone rang.

He initially thought there was news about Ji Xizhi, but as soon as he picked up, he heard an unpleasant voice.

“Director Wang, long time no see, I’m Old Qiu; you should still remember me!”

The caller was Qiu Yong, the director of “National Mediation.”

“Due to certain reasons, it seems that the guests from our program and yours have some issues that need mediation. Seeing as we’re old friends, I’ve been watching your live broadcast, and given your current situation, you should be open to doing a live connection, right? Our ’National Mediation’ program has professional mediators. If we can do a live connection for face-to-face mediation, it should save a lot of trouble.”

On hearing this, Director Wang was about to burst with anger.

He was making calls on speakerphone while looking for Ji Xizhi, and now no one was unaware, but Qiu Yong was blatantly trying to force a connection call, wasn’t he doing this to mess around?!

Director Wang didn’t hold back and retorted directly: “Are you blind, can’t you see our guests aren’t here?”

Qiu Yong, choked by his words, continued cheekily, “Are they really not here, or just pretending? Did they run away? Old Wang, you also know that I’m a straightforward person. If she’s really run away, you might as well tell me. Our mediators are very professional, with solid legal knowledge. I initially thought since we’re friends, we can solve it on the show, saving time instead of going to court. If we have to sue, it’s not like…”

Qiu Yong continued babbling bizarrely on the phone.

Director Wang glanced at the barrage of comments brought up by “Life Experience,” and he was about to disconnect the call coldly.

Before hanging up, he suddenly heard a scream.

“Oh my, Director Wang, Zhi Zhi!!!”

Accompanied by You Yingmeng’s sharp cry.

The PD of the “Life Experience” program group reacted swiftly and zoomed in the camera. The source of this content ɪs 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱

It focused right on a luxurious yacht approaching the shore.

And there was Ji Xizhi, who everyone had been searching for a long time, standing safe and sound at the bow of the ship, holding an umbrella.
