Rise and Slay: From Scandal Queen to Academic Genius-Chapter 57: I’ve Finished Memorizing

But ultimately, Zhu Xiu’an’s sacrifice made Fang Zhuyue and Qin Yutian more at ease.

Both of them simultaneously let out a sigh of relief.

Zhi Zhi can still spread legal knowledge, her emotions and mindset are fine.

After confirming this, the two dared to ask.

Chasing Moon Man: Zhi Zhi, if you have anything, make sure to tell me, even if you want to leave the circle. We have a family-run company, arranging a position as a legal director for you wouldn’t be a problem!

Yu Tian: I can do it too. My agent just told me to ask you if you want to sign with him after ending with Hangxing Entertainment!

Keep Me Safe Fan: "I want some peace and quiet.jpg"

Ji Xizhi watched as the people in the group arranged plans for her future, feeling somewhat warm inside. She glanced at the approaching exam date and replied with a smile.

Ji Xizhi: No, I’ve already made my choice.

Fang Zhuyue and Qin Yutian thought Ji Xizhi was being polite, and were about to persuade her further.

The next moment, they saw Ji Xizhi send another message.

Ji Xizhi: I’m going for graduate school.

Chasing Moon Man: ???

Yu Tian: !!!

Keep Me Safe Fan: What did you say?!

The three were so shocked their eyeballs almost popped out.

But after the shock, thinking it over, it seemed quite normal for Ji Xizhi to pursue graduate studies.

The three together sent congratulatory emoji in the group.

After responding, Ji Xizhi didn’t chat further and soon lay down to rest.

In the Qing University Plant Research Building, Fang Yuliang had just returned to school. He pulled an all-nighter in the lab and finally analyzed detailed water quality and plant testing reports.

After getting the report analysis, he returned to his studio.

He took out a brand-new smartphone from the drawer, followed the instructions to turn it on, and then downloaded WeChat.

Han Congsheng, having just heard Fang Yuliang left the lab, immediately came over. Upon entering the studio, he saw Fang Yuliang holding a smartphone with his long fingers.

Han Congsheng looked at his student as if witnessing something incredible.

"Like seeing a ghost, weren’t you most fond of your black phone? Did you ditch it, or finally thought it through?"

Fang Yuliang raised his eyes coldly, ignoring him.

Han Congsheng, not as he wished, flicked his hair and leaned over. As he approached Fang Yuliang’s work desk, he immediately noticed the testing report on the table.

Han Congsheng was stunned, "Since when did you also do this kind of testing? You used to be unwilling even to assist me, and now you’re pulling all-nighters for this, analyzing it so thoroughly?"

Fang Yuliang continued to ignore him.

The WeChat app on the smartphone was ready; he entered the number, searched, added a friend, and sent.

After sending, his gaze stayed fixed on the waiting verification message, motionless.

Beside him, Han Congsheng glanced at the current time, and said drily, "Stop staring. Don’t you know what time it is? She’s already asleep!"

Fang Yuliang was startled. Since leaving the lab, he hadn’t looked at the time. It dawned on him at Han Congsheng’s reminder.

It’s already past midnight.

She should be asleep by now.

Fang Yuliang didn’t overthink; he was just about to put his phone back in the drawer and continue his experiments.

As the screen turned off, the notification bar on the new phone sent an advertisement notification.

#JiXizhiKnowsLawBreaksLaw#

He didn’t know which company’s delayed push had just been sent

Fang Yuliang paused, tapping to find only an empty video gone.

He furrowed his brow, then took out that black phone from the drawer and dialed a number.

A young man’s voice came from the other end, mumbling, "Bro, it’s late at night, even Keelhaul isn’t this eager!"

Fang Yuliang, voice cold, said only, "I need some information."

The young man seemed to be awakened by the statement, his voice instantaneously clear, "Huh? Sure, what info do you need? I’ll guarantee to find it for you within ten minutes."

The young man scrambled to get out of bed. He never expected this deity to call him at this hour.

He glanced at the message from the other end with no curiosity at all, quickly finding the information.

In less than ten minutes, Fang Yuliang saw that disappearing video.

Watching Ji Xizhi’s swift move in the video, his furrowed brow gradually eased.

It seemed there was no need to worry.

The matter between Ji Xizhi and Zhao Ren lingered on social media for an entire day, eventually resulting in Zhao Ren’s arrest.

Yet still, Hangxing Entertainment was there, and with Ji Xizhi and Hangxing Entertainment at odds, anyway you looked at it, Ji Xizhi was at a greater loss.

Everyone in the industry knows the strength of Hangxing Entertainment’s legal department, and Ji Xizhi openly wanting to file a lawsuit against Hangxing Entertainment seemed to invite certain downfall.

Besides the few who knew Ji Xizhi planned to pursue graduate studies, others have started lamenting the wasted bright future of Ji Xizhi.

Online marketing accounts occasionally said how miserable Ji Xizhi was, while others speculated on what she should do after being sidelined.

Would she be unemployed or join the New Oriental education industry? Or would she teach legal courses via live stream?

She hadn’t an education certificate nor a legal professional qualification; even if she joined, she wouldn’t make it.

The whole internet was sighing at Ji Xizhi’s plight.

Ji Xizhi herself was quite happy.

With only a few days until her exam, Zhao Ren being caught means Hangxing Entertainment’s court case likely won’t be until after her exam.

This period is probably her most peaceful time.

While Ji Xizhi was in good spirits, Director Wang, who had worried for her for a while, could barely sit still.

Director Wang is a person of the industry, and his understanding of Hangxing Entertainment could be considered slightly more informed than Ji Xizhi.

Previously, he had seen Hangxing Entertainment financially and resourcefully suppress artists, but he didn’t want Ji Xizhi to be sidelined in such a manner.

Director Wang consecutively asked around several circles, eventually getting Ji Xizhi an advertisement. He didn’t even notify Ji Xizhi in advance, inquiring about her home’s location, and directly drove his van to pick her up.

Director Wang hurriedly explained while pushing her into the car, "I got you a PSA, related to legal knowledge. I’ve arranged everything, you’ll go try out a shot with me this morning. If it works, you might be chosen for the ad. There’s not much pay, but the nature is good; if you make it, at least your national recognition will increase."

Ji Xizhi initially didn’t want to go, but hearing about the PSA for legal knowledge made her pause.

And just in that moment of hesitation, Director Wang pushed her entirely into the van, driving off.

The PSA was linked with officialdom, attracting a lot of celebrities for auditions within the circle.

When Ji Xizhi and Director Wang arrived, the studio was crowded with people.

A fair few celebrities, here for auditions, were holding legal-related books, memorizing relevant clauses.

When Ji Xizhi arrived, Director Wang didn’t get out of the car; instead, one of Director Wang’s assistants accompanied Ji Xizhi.

She had just approached when an audition manager handed her a book on law.

The manager said indifferently, "You’re given half an hour to memorize. If not, you better leave now."

Ji Xizhi glanced at the book, very familiar to her, and said, "I’ve memorized it."
