Rise and Slay: From Scandal Queen to Academic Genius

Chapter 396 - 373: It’s Already Too Late!

Ji Xizhi’s remark actually made the complacent President Chen falter."What do you mean?"

President Chen’s face showed a hint of wariness.

Ji Xizhi casually pulled up a chair, directly facing the tied-up President Chen, and gently said:

"Not much, just feel like you might have some opinions about university students?"

"You’re probably unaware, but as a law student, I’ve participated in many criminal cases and defended many suspects, including many similar cases."

"Many cases employ rather enigmatic methods. Why don’t I tell you a few? The first one might be a certain famous enterprise putting hidden rules of sex transactions out in the open to cover up massive illegal transactions behind the scenes..."

Ji Xizhi spoke slowly, as if narrating an interesting story to President Chen, occasionally even asking if it was interesting to him.

President Chen listened as cold sweat started pouring down layer after layer.

Because he had more or less been involved in those matters Ji Xizhi was talking about, his hands had long been unclean.

Initially, he held onto a sliver of hope, thinking Ji Xizhi was just a small star, how could she understand commercial affairs?

Later, when Ji Xizhi got into the specifics of the manipulation techniques, especially when she spoke of the evidence he had painstakingly hidden.

President Chen’s lips began to turn pale.ook pictures."

The phone screen showed a central entertainment expose. The Weibo post had been up for less than half an hour, yet it already had tens of thousands of comments, proving how big the scoop was.

Entertainment Gossip: Hidden Rules or Resource Swapping? Nervous Little Flower Shen and a certain bigwig entering a hotel together! Thrilling, a godfather gathering or a group exercise?

Below were seven or eight pictures, including several animated ones. The gossip account captured Shen Yeyi and President Chen’s intimate postures completely. President Chen’s face wasn’t shown, but Shen Yeyi’s was made quite clear, featuring a close-up of President Chen’s hand resting on Shen Yeyi’s waist.

At the end of these pictures of Shen Yeyi’s scandal, there was a photo of Ji Xizhi. Unlike Shen Yeyi, who was forced into President Chen’s arms, Ji Xizhi appeared more affectionate in her photo. Most importantly, Ji Xizhi had willingly embraced the unknown drunk executive, her body language clearly showing consent.

At first, people focused on Shen Yeyi’s scandal.

As a newcomer, Shen Yeyi had landed the lead role in Director Jin’s drama, drawing a lot of industry attention, leading to constant attacks and smear campaigns to prevent her comeback.

This big scoop had everyone scrambling to get their share.

[I knew something was off about Shen Yeyi getting Director Jin’s lead role, now I see why!]

[This picture is damning; Shen Yeyi’s pure and resilient little white flower image shattered completely~]

[True-heartedness was fed to dogs~ Genuine feelings are the dumbest thing in the world; I thought she was a hidden gem but turns out she’s just using resources!]

[Didn’t Shen Yeyi recently buy PR about her tireless effort in the crew? I remember there was supposed to be a shoot today. Did she call in sick just to be with the bigwig?]

[Tsk, tsk, learn to understand; without being with the bigwig, how could she get better resources and step up her game over her rivals!]

[Holy crap, why bother with Shen Yeyi’s scandal? Check out the last photo! I’m blown away~]

Shen Yeyi’s rivals attacked immediately upon seeing her controversial hot search, spinning narratives and causing dramas relentlessly, focusing solely on her.

The entertainment gossip title only featured Shen Yeyi’s name, and did not mention Ji Xizhi, initially drawing little attention.

Until a certain gossip consumer noticed Ji Xizhi in the last picture.

Suddenly, comments exploded with fans and the public stirred up.

[Ji Xizhi... is that Ji Xizhi? I don’t believe it, it must be someone who looks similar!]

[Slander? Dare you slander Ji Xizhi? Is there really a need to rush to send Ji Xizhi’s fans gifts?]

[I’m just a bystander here for the gossip. This angle, this action, really can’t be justified; it’s so obvious, no need to invent stories anymore! Alas~ Even the last pure stream in the entertainment industry has fallen~]

[Didn’t Ji Xizhi say she wouldn’t sign with a management company? She claimed to need nothing, but why!!!]

[Hey, girl above, which grade are you? Look at reality, she’s alone and without a background, how could it be any different!]

[Hurry to whitewash, hurry to clarify! I could forgive her if it turned out the president in Ji Xizhi’s arms was actually a woman!]

[Tsk, tsk, you’re crazy, why not say it was Shanli in her arms? They were interacting this afternoon, haha~]

Compared to Shen Yeyi’s fans collapsing, Ji Xizhi’s impact was even bigger.

It didn’t take long before Ji Xizhi’s name swiftly overtook Shen Yeyi’s as the top scandal.
