Rise and Slay: From Scandal Queen to Academic Genius-Chapter 60: She Still Has a Chance

The official shooting of the advertisement will take some time. The legal publicity series needs to be done, and Director Wang discussed with the other director. Considering that the issue between Ji Xizhi and Hangxing Entertainment is not yet resolved, they decided to schedule it for a later time.

Since attending the audition, Ji Xizhi has been at home studying, following a strict schedule with studying, resting, and working out, leaving no part unattended. In between, she found time to meet He Qing and handed over the task of collecting evidence to him.

Hangxing Entertainment also realized that Ji Xizhi was determined to go against the company, and during this time, they had the legal department start preparing for the defense.

All the trending searches related to Ji Xizhi on the internet were suppressed by Hangxing Entertainment.

Hangxing Entertainment used the same methods as before to lower the heat around Ji Xizhi.

In the entertainment industry, if someone doesn’t appear for a long time, the public quickly forgets.

Hangxing Entertainment knows this all too well.

On Weibo during this period, aside from the suppressed trending searches, only the Black Fan of Ji Xizhi was left jumping around, questioning how many people slept with Ji Xizhi tonight.

Hangxing Entertainment received a court summons, and this Black Fan received one as well.

On the day he received it, he posted it on Weibo and changed his Weibo name as well.

@BrotherSleepFightingMonsters: The legal team is ready. Follow Brother Sleep; Brother Sleep will livestream when the time comes, if Ji Xizhi can afford a lawyer!

Many hidden haters couldn’t help but sneak a peek at this Weibo, and Hangxing Entertainment even secretly paid for some promotion for the person.

The @BrotherSleepFightingMonsters Weibo account now has millions of fans, and its viewership has surged.

He also opened a group on Weibo and gained quite a few fans supporting him.

Just when he was boasting proudly, his bank account suddenly received a message.

"Hello, the account ending in 0284 has been frozen."

Brother Sleep: ?

Before he could make a call home, another message came through on WeChat.

Sun Lv: Young master, Zhang Lv’s lawyer certification has been revoked. Right now, the factory is under strict investigation, so your case might not be managed.

Brother Sleep was dumbfounded, and he immediately made a call.

"What’s going on? Wasn’t Ji Xizhi supposed to be unable to protect herself? What happened to my funds? Where’s my dad?"

Sun Lv was miserable on the other end.

"The boss is already under investigation, and the factory has stopped work. Who would have thought Qi Zheng would take this case? Now the factory is in trouble, young master, if you can, come back quickly!"

"How is it possible? Qi Zheng???"

Brother Sleep was stunned, quickly getting up from the bed and heading back without even packing his luggage.

-

On the other side, the Qing University Botany Department building.

Fang Yuliang held the latest model of a smartphone, waiting for several days, yet the WeChat friend request was still pending verification.

Instead, Qi Zheng somehow indirectly contacted Han Congsheng and asked for the test report.

He didn’t give it.

Fang Yuliang stared at the phone in a daze.

At some point, Han Congsheng also came out of the lab, holding a test tube with a light green plant inside.

Seeing Fang Yuliang spacing out in front of the desk.

He leaned over to take a look.

The phone’s WeChat still showed the same page, with those gray words, waiting for verification.

Han Congsheng clicked his tongue softly, "Still not accepted?"

Fang Yuliang glanced at him, his cold face remained unchanged, but the lab seemed noticeably cooler.

Han Congsheng rejoiced in others’ misfortune.

Anyway, he was happy to see his student being so popular. He always thought he was like a lab machine with no human touch.

He cheerfully placed the test tube in the instrument, then seemed to remember, turning his head to ask.

"By the way, did you add a note when you added the friend?"

Fang Yuliang: "?"

"What note."

Han Congsheng slapped his forehead: "? You didn’t add a note, and you’re waiting as if it’s for real?"

A rare puzzled expression appeared on Fang Yuliang’s face.

Han Congsheng almost got angry at him.

He directly snatched the phone, re-added the friend, and stopped when entering verification, handing it to Fang Yuliang.

"Here, if you don’t tell them who you are, who would add you? What if it’s a spam pharma account!"

Fang Yuliang remained silent.

Han Congsheng: "...Oh, sorry, forgot, your family does sell medicine."

"Anyway, without a note, how could someone accept it!"

Fang Yuliang finally understood, his long fingers awkwardly typing five words.

"I am Fang Yuliang."

Then he sent the verification again.

This time, the approval was much faster.

By lunchtime, they had become friends.

After waiting so long, suddenly becoming friends left Fang Yuliang a bit stunned.

His fingers pressed on the keyboard a few times, and in the end, he didn’t send a single message.

He first sent all the electronic versions of the test report over.

Ji Xizhi saw Fang Yuliang’s WeChat verification message during lunch break and, remembering the factory case, figured that Fang Yuliang was contacting her about the test report.

She quickly accepted the friend request.

As soon as she accepted, her contact immediately sent a detailed test report, accompanied by an analysis.

Even Ji Xizhi, who was an outsider, could understand it clearly.

In her heart, Ji Xizhi gained more admiration for Fang Yuliang’s professional level of competency.

Compared to Ji Fengyuan, this second male lead was much more efficient.

Ji Xizhi quickly replied with a received message.

Fang Yuliang looked at the two words Ji Xizhi just sent over, inexplicably feeling a sense of familiarity.

Han Congsheng passed by, glanced at it, and exclaimed.

"Oh, so you added a junior from school, first-year or second-year graduate?"

Fang Yuliang: "..."

Ji Xizhi forwarded the test report to Qi Zheng.

She continuously followed the progress of the factory’s situation. The cash flow at the factory indeed had some issues, and Tianzheng Law Firm wasn’t just for show as Qi Zheng was pushing the case forward quickly, having already filed an official lawsuit.

It wasn’t long after she sent the test report that Qi Zheng quickly called back.

Their approaches regarding the factory case were consistent and, after a simple alignment, they had decided on the final materials to prepare.

After finishing their conversation and hanging up, Qi Zheng suddenly said, "Ji Xizhi, after the factory case, can we meet to discuss? I’m very interested in that case you mentioned on the program last time."

Ji Xizhi never refused such legal exchanges and was about to respond affirmatively.

Qi Zheng added, "I was once Jiang Qianli’s student."

This one sentence burst like lightning in Ji Xizhi’s mind.

Jiang Qianli’s student?

Isn’t she in a book?

Why is her mentor still there?

Untangleable mysteries wrapped around Ji Xizhi, and she almost reflexively asked, "Is it Professor Jiang Qianli from Qing University Law School?"

Qi Zheng sounded a bit confused, "Yeah, don’t you know? But I haven’t seen the law case book you mentioned by Professor Jiang last time, where did you read it, is there more? Can I take a look?"

Upon hearing this confirmation, Ji Xizhi’s mind blanked for a moment.

But soon she felt a sense of relief.

With the graduate exams coming up, it meant she still had a chance to be her advisor’s student once more.
