Rise and Slay: From Scandal Queen to Academic Genius
Chapter 84: Blacklisting Warning

Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Blacklisting Warning

A few lawyers watched as Ji Xizhi’s arrogance shot directly from the factory case to them.

Everyone was quite angry, feeling like their reputations in the legal world had been completely tarnished, each person clamorously expressing their indignation.

[Youngster, if you want to beat me, you might as well focus on your exams and get your legal qualifications first!]

[As a newcomer, you should have a humble attitude towards learning, not thinking that just having Qi Zheng by your side will help!]

[Ridiculous, anyone can talk big; I’m waiting to see what kind of lawsuits you can handle once you have your legal qualifications!]

A few people used Ji Xizhi’s lack of legal qualifications as an opportunity to pontificate.

Ji Xizhi wasn’t upset; she responded politely.

Reply//Ji XizhiV: Then just you wait.

The lawyers: "???"

Don’t understand sarcasm, do you? They’re mocking! Who’s really going to wait!!!

The anger that was pent up inside them just got stuck in their throats because of Ji Xizhi, unable to be released or swallowed.

The intellectuals looked at Ji Xizhi’s reply and laughed themselves silly.

Quite a few people lined up beside her.

[Then just you wait, and remember to follow our Zhi Zhi!]

[Then just you wait, thank you for paying so much attention to our Zhi Zhi, @JiXizhiSuperTopic, if possible, feel free to follow it, if you’re bored waiting, you can sign in and check daily, when Zhi Zhi gets her legal qualifications, we’ll alert you right away!]

[Then just you wait, could you leave a contact method, an email would do? I’m afraid we won’t be able to notify you when Zhi Zhi gets her qualifications, so we’ll get insured in advance!]

The intellectuals’ follow-up was enough to drive these lawyers insane.

And Qi Zheng added fuel to the fire.

Qi ZhengV: I’ve followed @JiXizhiSuperTopic, remember to notify me too!

Intellectuals: No problem!

A wave of meme play directly shut the lawyers’ mouths.

Don’t ask, if you ask, just expect to wait!

Once Zhi Zhi gets her qualifications, we’ll beat drums and notify you to come watch!

Ji Xizhi’s graduate exam was being watched by everyone, and the Qing University website had just announced the admission list, which quickly appeared on Weibo.

The news of Ji Xizhi getting into Qing University spread everywhere as if it had grown wings.

Many marketing accounts had experienced the ups and downs of Ji Xizhi’s graduate exam journey, especially those reporters who had besieged Ji Xizhi at the school entrance during the preliminary exam.

They truly knew that the previous hashtag #JiXizhiThreatensToTopTheWrittenExam# and #JiXizhiAppliesToQingUniversity# were actually their exaggerated creations.

Yet now, Ji Xizhi stubbornly turned their hyperbole into reality.

The reporters who had maliciously interviewed her earlier: Now just terrified! Terrifying indeed!!!

Quite a few reporters were so scared that they never dared to write such exaggerated reports again.

Hangxing Entertainment soon heard about Ji Xizhi getting into Qing University; due to President Zheng’s mishandling, Ji Xizhi’s issues had already affected other artists in the company, dragging further would only worsen the company’s losses.

Moreover, Ji Xizhi now entered Qing University Law School, equating to stepping into the top domestic legal circles, even Hangxing Entertainment’s legal department advised against further litigation, suggesting stopping the losses in time.

Hangxing Entertainment’s senior management reconvened, dismissing President Zheng, then terminating the contract with compensation to Ji Xizhi.

However, Hangxing Entertainment as a seasoned agency wouldn’t let Ji Xizhi go easily following such significant losses.

Soon after announcing the contract termination, president of Hangxing Entertainment’s new president’s share of congratulations circulated.

President Huang: Congratulations on contract termination, also congratulations on leaving the industry, wishing you academic progress.

The implication being, if Ji Xizhi dared to terminate with them, she shouldn’t blame them for blacklisting her.

Meaning Ji Xizhi shouldn’t expect to get back into the entertainment circle.

Within the industry, Hangxing Entertainment’s influence is intricate, especially with strong financial backing, although the lawsuit failed against Ji Xizhi, blacklisting a small celebrity is quite easy.

In the entertainment industry, it’s all about popularity. Currently, Ji Xizhi’s popularity is high, but she has no representative works, just an empty shell; audiences might forget about her anytime.

Quite a few agencies inferior to Hangxing Entertainment saw the blacklist notice and began feeling some sense of relief.

Fortunately, they hadn’t contacted Ji Xizhi before; otherwise, if they had truly signed her, seeing Hangxing Entertainment like this, her career would be tough.

The intellectuals were thrilled upon hearing the news of contract termination, but quickly saw the blacklist announcement, many began worrying about Ji Xizhi’s future development.

Ji Xizhi’s Weibo followers had already reached over ten million, and the rate of following was accelerating, no one wanted Ji Xizhi to leave the industry, plus even after getting into Qing University, she could still be a star as long as it wasn’t a civil servant exam.

Fans held onto a sliver of hope that Ji Xizhi could sign with a reliable agency within the industry.

But before waiting for a new agency, they faced a blacklist from the former agency.

[Hangxing Entertainment still has the nerve to blacklist our Zhi Zhi? Shameless!!!]

[They should have compensated more, garbage company!]

[Zhi Zhi couldn’t be truly blacklisted by them, could she? Angry! Isn’t there any agency seeing our Zhi Zhi? She’s truly super great!]

Online, intellectuals started privately messaging official blogs of various agencies.

Ji Xizhi herself didn’t yet know she had been unilaterally blacklisted by Hangxing Entertainment, she was already at Jiang Qianli’s office.

Chu Ang had a fresh bruise on his head and was staring wide-eyed at her.

Ji Xizhi was reading literature on her computer, she looked up seeing Chu Ang’s dazed expression and couldn’t help reminding him, "Have you finished reading the literature?"

Chu Ang: "?"

Shouldn’t he be the one reminding her? He is a proper senior indeed!!!

Chu Ang already had a complete understanding of this newly inducted junior sister over the past few days, though he didn’t follow the entertainment circle, he did somewhat search online.

This little junior sister was practically a legendary figure online.

From being universally criticized to universally popular, both leaving the circle and pursuing graduate studies.

Chu Ang felt he hadn’t lived this tumultuously in his entire life like she did in these few months.

Yet this little junior sister, after going through so much, could still calmly sit here, reading! Literature!

Chu Ang glanced at the newly released blacklist notice he had just searched on Weibo, and quietly inquired.

"Little junior sister, aren’t you at all worried?"

Ji Xizhi didn’t take her eyes off.

"Worried about what?"

Chu Ang flipped through comments under Hangxing Entertainment’s trending topic, many discussed that Ji Xizhi’s future was doomed, being blacklisted by Hangxing Entertainment spelled trouble!

It made him somewhat anxious.

But Ji Xizhi seemed oblivious.

Chu Ang, slightly frustrated, leaned towards Ji Xizhi and said, "They’re saying they’ll blacklist you!"

As soon as he said it, Ji Xizhi’s gaze finally shifted from the literature on her computer.
