Rise and Slay: From Scandal Queen to Academic Genius

Chapter 358 - 336: Please Help Me


Chapter 358: Chapter 336: Please Help Me

Director Wang is currently in the “retirement” phase, so our tasks are quite flexible.

However, due to time constraints, last night the screenwriter Meng Tu for “Love Begins Here” already set the final deadline, even if it needs to be adapted, the theme must be decided today. Otherwise, even if she stays up late to help, it will be difficult to finish filming.

So the goal for the program’s guests today is to finalize the last story.

Today, the tasks of groups A and B are switched, but because it’s rainy today, it’s indeed not good to go out. The program group generously loosened up, considering the work done at Old Tao’s house as part of the wages.

Ji Xizhi also has to tutor Li Songling and Li Songting today and participate as an extra in “Love Begins Here.”

Taking on multiple roles, she started making calls as soon as she entered the door, contacting everyone one by one.

Li Songling’s side can reschedule, and “Love Begins Here,” due to the rain, has little to film today and doesn’t require many extras, so Ji Xizhi doesn’t need to go there.

Director Guan, knowing Ji Xizhi’s situation, specifically told her to rest more and not hurry.

Meng Tu also sent a message to Ji Xizhi, saying after “Love Begins Here” finishes, she’ll go find Ji Xizhi.

After making several calls, Ji Xizhi was extremely busy.

Other guests from the program group watched Ji Xizhi’s busy situation and sighed.

Guan Fengyan started joking, “Zhi Zhi, if I had worked as hard as you when I was young, I might have gotten into Qing University!”

Sheng Yaoyao echoed, “Who wouldn’t agree! I always feel like Zhi Zhi doesn’t look like she’s here to record a program; she seems like she’s here for field research, and recording our program is just a part-time job for her, hahaha~”

Though Sheng Yaoyao’s tone was joking, Ji Xizhi earnestly nodded toward Sheng Yaoyao.

“I am part-time.”

“After school starts, I probably won’t have much time.”

The decision of Ji Xizhi to leave the entertainment circle has always been effective, but as she gets increasingly popular, accumulating more fans, many people choose to forget these things.

You Yingmeng paused for a moment and rarely spoke on camera, “Huh? Sister Zhi Zhi, are you interning with the program group?”

[Hahaha, internship, I’m dying of laughter, Uncle Wang, make sure to give her an internship certificate!]

[I almost forgot without mentioning it, Zhi Zhi still has to start school, does that mean we won’t see Zhi Zhi after school starts!!!]

[Thunderbolt on a sunny day, I just became a fan of Ji Xizhi, and she’s saying she’s leaving the circle? Frozen! Rolling on the ground crying, I won’t allow it!]

[Actually, it’s not just being said now; she’s always intended to leave the circle. It’s just that this circle needs her, but she’ll leave eventually~ Yet I believe she’ll definitely come back!]

[No, Zhi Zhi, Zhi Zhi, without you, how can I live! Chasing after the car…]

[@The user above, you can take the postgraduate entrance exam! I represent the Qing University admissions office, welcoming you!]

In the barrage, Ji Xizhi’s old fans and new fans comforted each other with playful jokes.

At the site of “Life Experience,” Ji Xizhi was already busy helping out at Old Tao’s house.

Today, she’s part of the work group, so she must seriously earn money.

Old Tao was worried he wouldn’t have a chance to chat more with Ji Xizhi, so he practically took on all the work and started chatting warmly with her.

Their relationship looked excellent, and they didn’t talk for long.

Another staff member of “Life Experience” rushed in.

“Teacher Ji, someone is looking for you outside.”

Ji Xizhi was wiping the table and looked up at the words.

Then without waiting for her to speak.

The staff member very considerately reported the name to Ji Xizhi.

“Seems like it’s the missing girl from the Sun Family last night.”

Ji Xizhi’s hand with the cloth paused: “Qianqian?”

In this pause, Old Tao quickly snatched the cloth from her hand.

Old Tao said, “Go, if going outside, the umbrella is behind the front door, take the big one; if staying inside, the room on the second floor of my eldest daughter is empty.”

When Old Tao spoke, he didn’t even look up; he just kept working diligently.

However, Ji Xizhi heard from these words that Old Tao seemed to know what she was going to do.

But Ji Xizhi didn’t ask much; she just responded and quickly walked out.

At the door of Old Tao’s house, Sun Qianqian was standing in front of the yard gate, without an umbrella, just wearing a straw hat to keep off the rain.

Seeing Ji Xizhi come out with an umbrella, Sun Qianqian’s tense expression slightly relaxed and she walked in a few steps.

As soon as Ji Xizhi saw Sun Qianqian, her first question was, “Are you alright?”

After confronting Ji Yezong in two variety shows and going to the police station to report the case, Ji Xizhi had already learned about Sun Qianqian’s situation.

It was said that Sun Qianqian argued with her family, Old Sun scolded her harshly, and Sun Qianqian ran out in anger to scare them.

The police educated both sides to some extent, and this case was considered closed.

Ji Xizhi had originally planned to find Sun Qianqian later to ask about the details, but unexpectedly, Sun Qianqian approached her first.

Seeing Sun Qianqian’s gloomy appearance, Ji Xizhi asked again, “Are you hurt?”

Sun Qianqian shook her head twice.

“No.”

Then she spoke, “Teacher Ji, I just saw your live broadcast, and I saw your Weibo too.”

The live broadcast confrontation of “Life Experience” and “National Mediation” was extremely popular, so it was normal for Sun Qianqian to see it.

Ji Xizhi gently nodded.

Sun Qianqian: “You sued your adoptive parents, aren’t you afraid?!”

Ji Xizhi calmly responded, “Those who should be afraid are those who have committed illegal acts, not me.”

Sun Qianqian hesitated, “But the people in the village…”

Ji Xizhi also knew what she wanted to say, which is why she hadn’t proactively exposed Sun Family’s affairs, but waited for Sun Qianqian to come to her.

If Sun Qianqian sues Old Sun’s family, even if Sun Qianqian was bought, nearby villagers won’t be able to comprehend it, and if Sun Qianqian wants to continue living here, she might eventually be crushed by social pressure.

Looking at this girl who shares a similar fate with her original self, Ji Xizhi slowly said, “If people don’t understand the law, then teach them to understand it!”

“You did nothing wrong.”

This sentence suddenly turned Sun Qianqian’s eyes red.

She clenched her fists and asked Ji Xizhi, “Teacher Ji, do your words from last time still count? Can you help me?”

Sun Qianqian hurriedly added, “I might not be able to afford expensive lawyer fees, but I can sign an IOU. I promise I’ll save enough money in this lifetime to repay you!”

Ji Xizhi: “What happened?”

“Please help me, I’m really scared. Last night I overheard my dad contacting a buyer—for ten thousand! They want me to give birth to a son for their family!” ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽
