Rise and Slay: From Scandal Queen to Academic Genius-Chapter 41: We Will Definitely Win

Qi Zheng’s words completely tore apart the excuse that Zhong Yulu had just come up with.

Zhong Yulu’s face was extremely uncomfortable, her eyes reddened, she choked as she tried to explain.

Qi Zheng’s voice casually added in the video, "But I’m not a judge, so even if you didn’t do it, I wouldn’t convict you."

Qi Zheng’s peach blossom eyes slightly raised, his slender fingers resting on his chin, a smile forming at the corner of his lips.

The live-stream audience found it both satisfying and pleasing to watch.

[Pfft~ Hahahahaha, this is so enjoyable, I really love this sarcastic banter!]

[Ahhhh, my idol is so handsome! I’m so in love! Can’t we have more of these scenes where he tears apart the green tea? More, please!]

[Do you all have to be like this? Lu Lu already said it wasn’t intentional, do you have to keep bringing it up?]

[I laughed, Ji Xizhi and Qi Zheng don’t even have a known relationship yet! Qi Zheng stood up for Ji Xizhi, and you fans still cheer for it!]

[Of course we have to cheer! After all, I have no ulterior motives, and the judge wouldn’t convict me. But upstairs, it’s hard to say for you, because I took a screenshot, tee-hee-hee~]

This was posted by a Qi Zheng fan in the live stream, and instantly the following black fans didn’t dare to jump in.

They dared to insult Ji Xizhi but didn’t dare to involve Qi Zheng.

Because Qi Zheng is the devil of the legal world, when he first appeared in the public eye, he was slandered and insulted by many because of his attractive face.

At that time, Tianzheng Law Firm wasn’t as strong as it is now, and Qi Zheng’s prestigious reputation hadn’t spread.

People online kept slandering him more and more, but Qi Zheng ignored it, letting it be, until one day all the intern lawyers at Tianzheng Law Firm started to sue the black fans on behalf of Qi Zheng.

Almost all the online black fans at that time were taken to court by the intern lawyers of Tianzheng Law Firm.

Later, the black fans realized that Qi Zheng had not ignored them at all; he was waiting.

Waiting for the interns to join, using these black fans to fiercely train the firm’s intern lawyers.

By the time all the netizens realized it, it was already too late.

The battle god name of Qi Zheng spread just like that.

Now, in the live stream, there are only a few black fans left from the earlier group who were sued by Qi Zheng, and this time they’ve kept their heads down early on.

Anyway, whoever stands out, they won’t dare to stand out now. Who knows who might be used for practice this time!

In the lounge, Zhong Yulu was already driven to tears by Qi Zheng’s two remarks.

It was Director Wang who glanced at the live stream camera, bravely stepping in to smooth things over, bringing this farce to an end.

However, Director Wang didn’t have a good expression towards Zhong Yulu this time either. After all, he’s of an age where he has maintained his good reputation, and being shouted at by Zhong Yulu on a live program tonight, who knows if he’ll be kneeling on a washboard when he gets home after recording?

Thinking about this, Director Wang’s mood turned sour.

On the side, the party involved, Ji Xizhi, was the calmest among them all.

In fact, it could be said that she didn’t even care about this matter. Once Zhong Yulu rushed in, after hearing that loud scream, she just raised her head slightly, then focused on typing at the computer the whole time.

Once Qi Zheng dispensed with Zhong Yulu in two sentences, Ji Xizhi had already organized the part just communicated with Qi Zheng.

On the other side of the video, Qi Zheng just received a document, and he looked up at the face opposite him, both beautiful and serious, and couldn’t help but laugh.

He thought, with the commotion at the doorstep, how could she remain calm and seated here?

Turns out, she simply didn’t care at all!

[...This smile, I’m sorry, I didn’t want to ship this, but I just can’t help it, the civil registry office is running over on its own!]

[Ridiculous, I was wondering why there were constant keyboard typing sounds in the background earlier, I thought I was lagging, but it was Zhizhi. Zhizhi really never forgets to study at any time!]

[To be honest, my dad, my mom, my grandpa, my grandma, and my three-year-old sister are now all diehard fans of Ji Xizhi!]

Ji Xizhi sent the file over and didn’t say much more to Qi Zheng before cutting the video.

Since Qi Zheng was willing to take on this case, she still needed to go discuss it with the villagers of Ping’an Village.

Although she had fully prepared for this case, it ultimately required the villagers of Ping’an Village to entrust the matter to the lawyer to file a lawsuit.

But whether it is a lawsuit or a private settlement, she has a way to fight for the greatest benefit for the villagers.

The villagers of Ping’an Village had already heard from Director Wang about this matter in the afternoon. Now, each family in the village had gathered together, and after listening to Ji Xizhi’s words, they almost unanimously chose to file a lawsuit.

The reason was simple.

If they easily settled this time, more such incidents would happen, causing more soil and farmland to suffer from the factory’s wastewater poisoning.

They are farmers, facing the earth with their backs to the sky all their lives, crops and farmland are like their lifeline.

They won’t let these people off.

"Zhizhi, we all believe in you. Director Wang showed us today’s video, those people should be damned, young lady, you’ve worked hard for our village!"

"Yes, we are not educated, but you are knowledgeable, we all trust you, we will definitely win!"

"What do you mean we will definitely win, you didn’t go to school, and don’t know that the judge decides on the lawsuit, and Zhizhi can’t usurp the judge’s role. Even if we don’t win, we won’t lose much anyway!"

The villagers’ smiles were simple, and their eyes seemed filled with the whole rural starry sky. ƒreewebɳovel.com

Ji Xizhi raised her head and looked at this starry sky belonging to Ping’an Village, softly saying, "We will definitely win."

*

After communicating with the villagers, the show had officially wrapped up, and tonight the filming PD could rest, and all the guests’ live-streams had been closed.

Ji Xizhi walked inside from the courtyard and reached the narrow staircase below.

A black figure leaned sideways against the wall, holding an old-fashioned pure black phone, with a small white light on the phone being pressed on and off by his thumb.

When Ji Xizhi walked over, Fang Yuliang, who had been waiting for an unknown amount of time, suddenly released his thumb from pressing the white light and brought it to his lips.

"Ahem~"

Ji Xizhi raised her eyes.

Fang Yuliang’s voice was cool and almost blended into the darkness, "I’ll take the afternoon’s water sample back to the lab for testing, and I’ll contact you when the test results are out."

Ji Xizhi realized, "Ah, thank you, I was planning to find you anyway, so shall we add each other on WeChat?"

"WeChat..." Fang Yuliang suddenly felt that the old-fashioned black phone in his palm was somewhat hot to touch.

In front, Ji Xizhi had already taken out her phone and opened WeChat.

In the dark corridor, Ji Xizhi’s phone screen was especially clear.

So clear that Fang Yuliang lowered his eyes for a light glance.

He saw the words "Qi Zheng" at the top of Ji Xizhi’s WeChat.

Fang Yuliang knew Qi Zheng.

Ji Xizhi was unaware as she casually handed her phone to Fang Yuliang and asked, "Do you want to scan me, or should I scan you?"

Fang Yuliang: "..."

He wrapped the palm of his hand around the black phone, and the white light instantly disappeared.

He said, "Leave your phone number, I’ll add you later."

Ji Xizhi nodded, "Okay."

After she gave her phone number, she saw Fang Yuliang hurriedly stride out of the staircase.

Ji Xizhi: "?"

She always felt this second male lead didn’t quite match the plot from the book.
