Director Wang sent just one ssage.
Director Wang: Ahem, here’s so good news! Starting next season, your appearance fee will be increased by 30%! Are you surprised?!
Ji Xizhi glanced at WeChat and replied: Why?
Director Wang: Why what! I’m giving you a raise and you’re not even happy? Shouldn’t you be cheering and at least praising for being better than Director Xu?!
Ji Xizhi: Beware of WeChat scams, stay vigilant.
Director Wang: ...
His expression gradually grew grim.
He knew Ji Xizhi wasn’t easy to deal with! Annoyed!!!
He had just thought of using this raise to play the emotional card with Ji Xizhi, to remind her to think of her old teammates while participating in Director Xu’s show.
Thinking of this now, Director Wang simply gave up.
If he’s not doing well, Director Xu won’t be doing well either!
Who does Ji Xizhi turn to?
Director Wang imdiately responded with a voice ssage.
"The increase is set by the investors, Ji Tingzhou, probably because of the incident at the Feng Family banquet when you saved him."
Failing to touch on emotions, Director Wang decided not to beat around the bush and stated the matter directly.
It’s no secret that Ji Tingzhou is an investor for "Life Experience," and raising Ji Xizhi’s appearance fee was indeed Ji Tingzhou’s idea, as a gesture of gratitude.
Previously, at the Feng Family banquet, Ji Xizhi had personally declined Mr. Feng, Feng Qin’s, gesture of thanks. This wasn’t known online, but that gesture was well known in the elite circles, and most there thought Ji Xizhi was foolish.
Ji Xizhi didn’t care about that, but she didn’t reject the raise either, especially since it’s part of the appearance fee, fully taxed and paid out, worry-free!
After finishing the conversation with Director Wang, Ji Xizhi was about to put down her phone.
Suddenly, Director Wang shared a Weibo link.
Director Wang: [Share link: Ji Tingzhou announced his resignation as the president of Ji Group!]
Ji Xizhi: ?
Director Wang: The ssage has been withdrawn.
Director Wang: No, shared it to the wrong person!
Director Wang was frantic on the other side, explaining everything.
Just after talking to Ji Xizhi, he turned around and saw the news of Ji Tingzhou resigning as president of Ji Group. He got too excited and shared it with the wrong person.
Director Wang: The appearance fee is indeed raised, not a scam! Our show still has funds!!!
This ti, Director Wang was genuinely worried that Ji Xizhi would think he was scamming her.
Could it not seem that way?
First, he talks about a raise, then the company’s investors have issues, next thing would be asking you to invest a bit, when the company revives, there’s definitely benefits for you, the old pie-in-the-sky promoter is back!
Director Wang: It’s really just a coincidence!
Although, it truly went to the extre!
Ji Xizhi didn’t consider it a scam, but her expression paused upon seeing the Weibo.
She clicked and looked at the Weibo page for once.
The news wasn’t rumors, but an official announcent from Ji Group, and the content revealed even more.
Ji Tingzhou resigned not only as president but also fully withdrew from Ji Group.
Ji Family’s biological son Ji Fengyuan officially took over as the group’s president.
An ongoing struggle for family dominance ended before it began.
Online users were dumbfounded.
Previously, news of Ji Tingzhou being Ji Family’s adopted son shocked many, and several attempted to investigate Ji Tingzhou’s past, but most findings were speculative at best.
Subsequently, those individuals mostly received related legal notices, so the matter didn’t escalate substantially.
Now, Ji Tingzhou surfaced again, but this ti retreating from Ji Group.
Everybody was cheering happily.
[It’s a relief! The impostor finally rolled out of the Ji Family!]
[Congrats, brother, for reclaiming his rightful inheritance! Let’s celebrate~]
[Brother is amazing, those who intend to seize Ji Family assets will ultimately be driven out!]
Primarily Ji Fengyuan’s fans were constantly belittling Ji Tingzhou.
But before they could belittle much more, soone publicly clarified the rumors about Ji Tingzhou online.
The person who clarified isn’t anyone else but Ji Fengyuan’s stepmother, also the person who adopted Ji Tingzhou at the beginning.
I am Ruan Ying: When I adopted Xiao Zhou, I truly regarded him as my own child. Regarding these recent online rumors, Xiao Zhou won’t explain, so I’ll do it. I brought him ho from the welfare institution, he wishes to repay , and I understand, but over these years, he has long repaid this kindness. He is my child, so I respect Xiao Zhou’s choice, leaving Ji Group. I won’t elaborate on his past, but he did nothing wrong; those at fault are the criminals.
Once Ji Group Chairman’s wife’s Weibo was posted.
Most previous ssages online were imdiately suppressed.
[Honestly, weren’t the ones talking about Ji Tingzhou just making things up, there’s no evidence!]
[I recall soone getting sued, right!]
[Speechless, a stepmother is still a stepmother, ultimately not better than a biological mother, our brother is just a helpless, unloved wanderer, wandered outside for so long, back ho and got backstabbed by the stepmother, too tragic!]
[Ah, this, this entire page doesn’t ntion Ji Fengyuan? Did Ji Fengyuan’s fans co to the wrong place?]
[OMG, soone over there uncovered that Ji Tingzhou’s dad’s imprisonnt was due to dostic violence and intentional murder, holy moly, it’s confird!]
Ji Fengyuan’s fans didn’t even get a chance to retaliate before getting diverted by this comnt.
Sobody ntioned the initial trial of Ji Tingzhou’s father, and another found a witness from back then.
[This... what’s the aning?! I’m bewildered, Ji Tingzhou is too pitiful!]
[The Anti-Dostic Violence Law! All of y’all need to check it out! @Ji Xizhi please provide legal knowledge!]
[For so reason, I feel Ji Xizhi might have explained this law before? But it’s not coming to mind!]
[Emm... now you ntion it, it’s coming back to too, wasn’t it during the first episode of "Life Experience"? When Ji Xizhi was livestreaming, there was a dicine buyer saying dostic violence, couldn’t divorce because of children! Was this the segnt?]
[Not sure if it’s appropriate to say, but I seem to notice sothing, Ji Xizhi and Ji Tingzhou, wasn’t it rumored before that Ji Tingzhou invested in "Life Experience" because of Ji Xizhi? I used to think it was just speculation, but now I feel it might be true!]
[Turns out y’all watch the show with high-powered scopes, damn!]
Initially, when soone in the comnts brought up legal matters, they instinctively thought to ask Ji Xizhi to explain, many fans and spectators instinctively reacted.
Having Ji Xizhi lead the law discussion, the zeal for learning soared!
But as the discussion progressed, old fans of "Life Experience" noticed sothing unusual.
The first episode of "Life Experience" was indeed very popular, but Ji Group didn’t really have any entertainnt industry-related operations. Saying it attracted Ji Group’s investnt, well, the show was too niche, only popular for one episode, not very probable.
Yet, oddly enough, after the first episode of "Life Experience," Ji Group made a significant investnt, official co-branding, then the show was revamped.
Previously, nobody noticed anything off.
Now, with Ji Tingzhou’s situation exposed, fans turned into Sherlock Hols, deducing the connections.
