Rise and Slay: From Scandal Queen to Academic Genius
Chapter 64: Do You Think You Can Pass With Top Marks?

Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Do You Think You Can Pass With Top Marks?

The examination room was crowded, and there were quite a few of Ji Xizhi’s fans waiting at the entrance as well. However, they couldn’t compete with the professional reporters. They were stuck at the back and were almost dying of anxiety upon hearing the reporters’ questions.

But they couldn’t shout over the reporters nor could they push past the bystanders.

Squeezed and disoriented, they finally heard Ji Xizhi’s voice.

Her voice was as calm as ever, completely untouched by the reporters’ questions.

She said, "Please don’t crowd, stand in order."

The reporter closest to Ji Xizhi immediately retorted upon hearing this, "Why are you changing the subject? Are you trying to avoid answering our questions?"

Ji Xizhi gave him a cold glance.

The speaking reporter felt a sudden unease under Ji Xizhi’s gaze, an inexplicable hint of fear rising within him.

However, he quickly suppressed this fear.

What was he afraid of? Ji Xizhi was bound to lose against Hangxing Entertainment’s legal department, with Hangxing Entertainment backing it.

Thinking of this, the reporter’s gaze sharpened.

Ji Xizhi watched the change in his expression and gave a slight smile.

"If you continue to stir emotions and deliberately cause a stampede accident, should it occur, the organizer of this event will bear criminal responsibility for negligent homicide or causing serious injury by negligence."

"Do you still think I’m changing the subject?"

Ji Xizhi, with one hand in her pocket, her eyes slightly lazy under the brim of her hat, exuded a demeanor of indifference—but clearly indicated that he would end up in jail.

The reporter before her felt a chill run through his heart upon hearing this.

The words "changing the subject" wouldn’t leave his mouth.

He didn’t even dare to squeeze closer to Ji Xizhi anymore, as he was the initiator and organizer of this reporter interview.

Gritting his teeth, he not only refrained from approaching Ji Xizhi but also shouted for everyone to step back.

A large space suddenly cleared in front of Ji Xizhi.

Once everyone had settled down, he then held up his camera towards Ji Xizhi and began to question her.

However, obviously, his momentum was no longer as strong as before. It was rather lacking.

"Can you answer the previous question?!"

Ji Xizhi glanced at him indifferently, succinctly replied with six words: "I won’t lose, I’m confident."

With that, she swung her bag over her shoulder and was about to head out of the crowd.

The reporters immediately swarmed to follow, but as they moved, the bystanders also shifted, making it difficult for them to move.

If a stampede accident truly occurred, that would be a disaster.

Some of Ji Xizhi’s fans finally squeezed to the front and specifically targeted the surrounding reporters, deliberately disrupting their attempts to follow.

The reporters were interfered with and didn’t dare to push hard, ultimately watching helplessly as Ji Xizhi took a taxi and left.

As she approached the car, the organizing reporter couldn’t help but shout once more.

"Ji Xizhi, are you applying for law? Do you think you can score high marks and get in?"

Ji Xizhi had already gotten into the car and completely ignored the reporter’s follow-up question.

The reporter didn’t intend to wait for Ji Xizhi’s response either, capturing Ji Xizhi’s expression with the camera, then quietly drafting a headline in his mind.

#Breaking News! Ji Xizhi Boldly Claims to Score High Marks in Graduate Exam#

Surely a hot keyword, who cares about clickbait if it’s trending hot!!!

The fans watched Ji Xizhi leave in the car while the reporter held on tightly, deliberately leading the topic. Those fans who had a clearer mind directly contacted the official blog to prepare anti-smear activities in advance.

Indeed, not long after Ji Xizhi’s graduate exam ended,

she appeared on the trending searches again.

However, this time it was due to ridicule.

#Ji Xizhi Taking Graduate Exam#, #Ji Xizhi Boldly Claims to Score High Marks#, #Ji Xizhi Claims to Rank First in Written Exam#, #Ji Xizhi Applies to Qing University#—these tags were endless.

Each more exaggerated and ridiculous than the last.

The fans were already mocking widely.

[Qing University hahaha, help! How could anyone think of trying to associate with Qing University, doesn’t the entertainment industry despise scholastic personas?]

[Warning for paper plagiarism! Although I used to quite like Ji Xizhi, this is really ridiculous. There’s a written exam and an interview, and admission to Qing University, how the hell is that possible?!]

[I’m curious, can she really get in? I saw her previous transcript and it doesn’t seem like she would make it!]

[If she’s applying for law, I think Zhi Zhi can! Did everyone forget her past achievements? Zhi Zhi is really amazing, her logical thinking and everything are excellent!]

[Above, graduate law exams don’t just test law, what about politics and English?!]

[Dead from laughter, I suspect Ji Xizhi is just posing for photos at the graduate exam venue!]

[Don’t worry, we’ll know once the results are out!]

...

Online discussions were growing, with more and more people waiting for Ji Xizhi’s graduate exam results.

The black fan hoped Ji Xizhi would fail, while the fans all hoped she would succeed.

Ji Xizhi didn’t pay much attention to these discussions on Weibo.

She was waiting for the exam results to be released and, in the meantime, checked the Qing University website for her mentor’s current information, which was the same as before she got transported into the book.

She just didn’t know if her mentor would remember her.

Before getting transported, she was an orphan, made her way to Qing University, and then met her mentor.

Looking at her mentor’s photo on the website, for the first time, Ji Xizhi felt a sense of belonging.

However, she should be able to meet her mentor soon.

She memorized her mentor’s contact information, private phone number, all crystal clear in her mind.

But nothing was certain yet, so she hadn’t contacted them rashly. She wanted to wait for the scoreline to be released.

Ji Xizhi was fully prepared to convince her mentor to accept her.

Of course, including getting first place!
