Ji Xizhi’s remark actually made the complacent President Chen falter.

"What do you an?"

President Chen’s face showed a hint of wariness.

Ji Xizhi casually pulled up a chair, directly facing the tied-up President Chen, and gently said:

"Not much, just feel like you might have so opinions about university students?"

"You’re probably unaware, but as a law student, I’ve participated in many criminal cases and defended many suspects, including many similar cases."

"Many cases employ rather enigmatic thods. Why don’t I tell you a few? The first one might be a certain famous enterprise putting hidden rules of sex transactions out in the open to cover up massive illegal transactions behind the scenes..."

Ji Xizhi spoke slowly, as if narrating an interesting story to President Chen, occasionally even asking if it was interesting to him.

President Chen listened as cold sweat started pouring down layer after layer.

Because he had more or less been involved in those matters Ji Xizhi was talking about, his hands had long been unclean.

Initially, he held onto a sliver of hope, thinking Ji Xizhi was just a small star, how could she understand comrcial affairs?

Later, when Ji Xizhi got into the specifics of the manipulation techniques, especially when she spoke of the evidence he had painstakingly hidden.

President Chen’s lips began to turn pale.

Ji Xizhi was like a witness who narrated everything he had ever done as if it were a case story, including the specifics of how particular evidence was made.

Ji Xizhi sat directly opposite him, beautiful like a fairy who had accidentally entered the mortal realm. Yet simultaneously, her words carried blades coated in poison, slicing at him.

President Chen would rather suffer physical tornt than sit here listening to Ji Xizhi’s words.

"Shut up, shut up!!!!"

"What did Ji Tingzhou offer you?! I’ll give you double, no, ten tis or even a hundred tis! Bring Ji Tingzhou here, we can talk!"

President Chen was hit at his weak spot, driving him to madness.

Shanli and Shen Yeyi, sitting on the sofa, found President Chen’s distress amusing.

Shanli leaned toward Shen Yeyi’s ear and whispered, "This President Chen doesn’t seem too bright! Everyone knows Ji Xizhi just got into a master’s program; the cases she’s been involved in can be counted on one hand. Yet President Chen is so scared and still has the guts to threaten others!"

Shen Yeyi didn’t even pay attention to President Chen; she focused entirely on Ji Xizhi’s words, eyes filled with admiration, "Teacher Ji narrates cases as if she was personally in court, she’s really amazing~"

Ji Xizhi returned to her seat in front of President Chen and overheard Shanli and Shen Yeyi’s conversation.

She curled her lips but did not explain.

She hadn’t had much experience in this lifeti, but accumulated quite a lot in the previous one.

So cases had even been publicly reported in the news.

Ji Xizhi had just received a ssage from Ji Tingzhou, and instantly a similar case ca to her mind.

The information Ji Tingzhou provided was not clear, as President Chen had been rampant in the industry for too long; how could he have left any concrete evidence in others’ hands?

Ji Xizhi spoke of this case rely to scare President Chen intentionally.

But now———

Seeing President Chen’s expression, it might actually correspond to reality.

After all, fiction often derives from reality.

Ji Xizhi looked at the ti, knowing the police should be arriving soon.

She didn’t pay attention to President Chen’s nonsense, got up to face Shen Yeyi, and reminded, "If the police take people away, soone downstairs in the hotel might see. Maybe stay in Shanli’s room for a while, today you weren’t heavily involved..."

Ji Xizhi still wanted to keep Shen Yeyi out of this; she thought maybe Shen Yeyi should leave a bit later.

She was about to say more when Shanli stopped her with a scream.

Shanli’s face was unsightly, "It’s too late!"

The next mont, Shanli flipped her phone’s Weibo display toward Ji Xizhi and Shen Yeyi.

"Soone took pictures."

The phone screen showed a central entertainnt expose. The Weibo post had been up for less than half an hour, yet it already had tens of thousands of comnts, proving how big the scoop was.

Entertainnt Gossip: Hidden Rules or Resource Swapping? Nervous Little Flower Shen and a certain bigwig entering a hotel together! Thrilling, a godfather gathering or a group exercise?

Below were seven or eight pictures, including several animated ones. The gossip account captured Shen Yeyi and President Chen’s intimate postures completely. President Chen’s face wasn’t shown, but Shen Yeyi’s was made quite clear, featuring a close-up of President Chen’s hand resting on Shen Yeyi’s waist.

At the end of these pictures of Shen Yeyi’s scandal, there was a photo of Ji Xizhi. Unlike Shen Yeyi, who was forced into President Chen’s arms, Ji Xizhi appeared more affectionate in her photo. Most importantly, Ji Xizhi had willingly embraced the unknown drunk executive, her body language clearly showing consent.

At first, people focused on Shen Yeyi’s scandal.

As a newcor, Shen Yeyi had landed the lead role in Director Jin’s drama, drawing a lot of industry attention, leading to constant attacks and sar campaigns to prevent her coback.

This big scoop had everyone scrambling to get their share.

[I knew sothing was off about Shen Yeyi getting Director Jin’s lead role, now I see why!]

[This picture is damning; Shen Yeyi’s pure and resilient little white flower image shattered completely~]

[True-heartedness was fed to dogs~ Genuine feelings are the dumbest thing in the world; I thought she was a hidden gem but turns out she’s just using resources!]

[Didn’t Shen Yeyi recently buy PR about her tireless effort in the crew? I rember there was supposed to be a shoot today. Did she call in sick just to be with the bigwig?]

[Tsk, tsk, learn to understand; without being with the bigwig, how could she get better resources and step up her ga over her rivals!]

[Holy crap, why bother with Shen Yeyi’s scandal? Check out the last photo! I’m blown away~]

Shen Yeyi’s rivals attacked imdiately upon seeing her controversial hot search, spinning narratives and causing dramas relentlessly, focusing solely on her.

The entertainnt gossip title only featured Shen Yeyi’s na, and did not ntion Ji Xizhi, initially drawing little attention.

Until a certain gossip consur noticed Ji Xizhi in the last picture.

Suddenly, comnts exploded with fans and the public stirred up.

[Ji Xizhi... is that Ji Xizhi? I don’t believe it, it must be soone who looks similar!]

[Slander? Dare you slander Ji Xizhi? Is there really a need to rush to send Ji Xizhi’s fans gifts?]

[I’m just a bystander here for the gossip. This angle, this action, really can’t be justified; it’s so obvious, no need to invent stories anymore! Alas~ Even the last pure stream in the entertainnt industry has fallen~]

[Didn’t Ji Xizhi say she wouldn’t sign with a managent company? She claid to need nothing, but why!!!]

[Hey, girl above, which grade are you? Look at reality, she’s alone and without a background, how could it be any different!]

[Hurry to whitewash, hurry to clarify! I could forgive her if it turned out the president in Ji Xizhi’s arms was actually a woman!]

[Tsk, tsk, you’re crazy, why not say it was Shanli in her arms? They were interacting this afternoon, haha~]

Compared to Shen Yeyi’s fans collapsing, Ji Xizhi’s impact was even bigger.

It didn’t take long before Ji Xizhi’s na swiftly overtook Shen Yeyi’s as the top scandal.
