Rise and Slay: From Scandal Queen to Academic Genius-Chapter 45: I’ve Never Seen Such a Bold Move!

Director Wang resisted the urge to smash Zhu Xiu’an’s head and turned to look at Fang Zhuyue on the other side.

Before his mouth could open, Fang Zhuyue pulled down the sleep mask from his head, firmly rejecting him.

Director Wang: "..." Alright, very alright!

He turned his gaze to Ji Xizhi, hands in pockets, and deliberately coughed heavily beside her, hoping she would understand and approach him on her own.

But just after he coughed, Ji Xizhi lifted her head.

Director Wang was almost overwhelmed with joy: She got it, she got it!

Ji Xizhi politely said, "Director Wang, if your throat is uncomfortable, do you want some hot water?"

Director Wang: "No need, I’m fine!"

Ji Xizhi nodded, "Okay, then I’m going to study now."

Director Wang: "?"

So was she just making sure the environment was quiet enough?

Director Wang felt a critical hit.

He gave up, he really gave up, he absolutely did not want to talk about contract renewals today!!!

Ji Xizhi had no idea about Director Wang’s resentful gaze; she had already downloaded videos to watch on the road and downloaded two sets of exercises, filling her study plan to the brim.

The production crew’s PDs almost went crazy witnessing Ji Xizhi’s study frenzy while filming on the plane.

During the trip, only the staff member sitting next to Ji Xizhi saw her serious look while watching videos, and he even praised Ji Xizhi for her hard work to his colleagues after getting off the plane, which none believed.

Now...

Complete silence!

The two PDs following Ji Xizhi were most affected; after experiencing the factory incident that day, they decided to buckle down and study.

If they didn’t, even their positions as cameramen could be replaced by guests!

The two cameramen skillfully mimicked Ji Xizhi’s posture, took out downloaded photography videos, and started studying.

Other program crew photographers: "???" freewēbnoveℓ.com

Damn, the Study King vibe seems to have seeped into their team!

They have to study too!!!

When the plane landed, the entire program crew had never felt so energized; it wasn’t like they hadn’t done these shoots before, but no one thought to study on the plane, as everyone was tired and would rest if they could.

But now, studying seems pretty nice!

Director Wang watched as his team was filled with energy by Ji Xizhi and felt momentarily bewildered.

Is it because he’s getting old, or do young people not care about raises anymore!

Whenever he called for overtime with double pay, the team was never this enthusiastic!

Director Wang, after almost forty years, began to doubt life for the first time.

After getting off the plane, the guests picked up their luggage and basically started heading home.

The program crew didn’t deliberately keep the return trip a secret, so fans easily found out.

At the airport exit, there were already countless fans waiting with signs, each representing different fan groups with various colored light boards and banners.

The light boards came in different shapes: rectangular, round, and even heart-shaped. The banners were thoughtfully designed, with the names of their idols clearly marked.

Qin Yutian, Zhu Xiu’an, Fang Zhuyue, and Zhong Yulu all saw their fans upon coming out.

Among them, Qin Yutian had the most fans, and as soon as he came out, he went straight toward his fan group. It’s his habit to sign autographs for the fans who worked hard to greet him at the airport.

But just two steps in, Qin Yutian saw a bizarre group mixed into his light blue sea of fans.

This small group was hidden in Qin Yutian’s vast fan base, unnoticed if you didn’t look carefully.

What caught Qin Yutian’s attention was mainly the banner held by these fans.

It was bright red.

A very pure bright red.

The kind of promotional banner most often used for festive events, with no design, just a few big words clearly written on it.

"Knowledge is power, law popularization cannot be delayed!!!"

The strong vibe hit directly.

Qin Yutian seemed to instantly know whose fans these were.

Qin Yutian stopped in his tracks, turned to look at Ji Xizhi walking behind, pointed towards the banner, and said, "Sister Xi Zhi... that seems to be your fan group over there."

Ji Xizhi, just concluding her mental review of the journey’s study sessions, looked up to see the striking banner in one glance.

Ji Xizhi was momentarily stunned, then immediately noticed the bold words and praised, "Nicely done!"

Qin Yutian: "???"

Fang Zhuyue & Zhu Xiu’an: "???"

Knowledgeable ones (Ji Xizhi’s fandom name): "Ahhhhh, Zhi Zhi likes it, Zhi Zhi really likes it!!!"

"Next time, we’ll make another for Zhi Zhi—"

Though Ji Xizhi didn’t have many fans, their enthusiastic shouts overwhelmingly drowned out the other fan groups present.

Other guest fans stayed silent: ...

They had seen bold moves before, but never something this bold!

Fans exchanged glances, looking at their neat and elegant light boards and banners, then looked at Ji Xizhi’s oversized extended banner.

Everyone felt like something had awakened inside!

What’s the use of having small, delicate support items?! Ji Xizhi’s banner was big and red, what a status symbol!

No way, they have to hurry and order!!!

Qin Yutian’s fans especially felt this, being the largest group, yet their idol was still drawn to the attention of another fandom (Ji Xizhi’s fans).

How could they not be annoyed? They had to order, at least a hundred pieces!

For a time, orders for custom banners from top suppliers were through the roof.

At the airport, Ji Xizhi was unaware that her compliment spurred a surge in banner sales.

She genuinely felt that the support banner was big enough, and the words were clear enough.

Customizing a few small law popularization phrases would indeed have a good effect.

Pushing her suitcase, Ji Xizhi was about to ask for the fans’ links, but as soon as she approached, the knowledgeable ones eagerly asked Ji Xizhi: "Zhi Zhi, could you sign for us?!"

Ji Xizhi: "Sure."

Just after agreeing, she saw the fans take out a stack of A4 paper and a 0.5mm black pen from their bags.

Fans of other guests were left dumbfounded.

They looked down at the beautifully prepared notebooks they had just handed over, stunned: "?"

Ji Xizhi didn’t find it unusual in the slightest, and she took the paper and pen without hesitation, preparing to sign.

The knowledgeable ones then shouted in unison: "Sign in standard script!!!"
