Chapter 170 - 154: This Must Be Director Xu’s Scheme!
Chapter 170: Chapter 154: This Must Be Director Xu’s Scheme!
Replying to //Ji Xizhi: Respectful blessings, the phrase “legal couple” is incorrect, as engagements do not have legal validity and are not protected by law.
[Pfft, hahaha! Respectful blessings, hahaha, add a lock and it’s perfect! This silly comment made me so mad, I forgot everything I’ve learned. It’s my fault for not realizing the question was wrong!]
[Indeed, Zhi Zhi highlighted the key point. Everyone, make sure to read the question clearly. If there’s an error in the question, we can choose not to answer~]
[Zhi Zhi is just too nice, but please don’t do this next time. Don’t waste time educating brainless people!]
One of Ji Xizhi’s replies was screenshotted and spread everywhere by marketing accounts.
There were some rumors about Ji Xizhi and Ji Fengyuan before, which everyone knew about, but they were just baseless speculations without evidence. After Ji Xizhi focused on studying and educating people, these rumors died down.
But now, with Ji Fengyuan and Zhong Yulu both publicly announcing their engagement, it exploded on the trending list.
It was inevitable that some troublemakers would think of Ji Xizhi.
However, to bring it up in the super-topic for “know-law couple” was somewhat disgraceful.
Not only were intellectuals angered by this, but even the marketing accounts reposting Ji Xizhi’s replies and onlookers were left speechless.
The person initially asking the question was a die-hard fan of the Zhong Yulu and Ji Fengyuan couple. When rumors about Ji Xizhi’s interference surfaced before, he despised Ji Xizhi. Now that Zhong Yulu and Ji Fengyuan had finally gone public, he couldn’t wait to boast online.
Initially, he wanted to pose a question Ji Xizhi couldn’t answer. No matter how Ji Xizhi replied, he could pin the “you’re just jealous” label on her.
But he never expected Ji Xizhi to educate people on the law in her reply.
Die-hard fan: … I’m at a loss for words.
After a round of retweets by marketing accounts and netizens, Ji Xizhi’s educational reply quickly became a trending keyword.
It was right up there after the trending topic #Ji Fengyuan and Zhong Yulu Publicly Announce Engagement#, with the content prominently being #Ji Xizhi Educates on Law: Beware Engagements are Not Legally Protected#.
[Ji Xizhi isn’t wrong. Joining a wealthy family is nice, but you also have to protect your assets and so on~]
[True! Being engaged is just an engagement, it can be called off anytime. Calling someone “Mrs. Ji” now is too early, wait until they’re registered!]
[This is hilarious, but both trending topics make sense. Ji Xizhi is like timely rain!]
[Is Ji Xizhi really that bitter? Can’t she stand seeing other people’s perfect love?!]
[??? This is a case of good intentions being misunderstood! Could you at least learn some law before bashing others?]
[For my girl’s wellbeing, I’ve decided to learn about related laws. True love and self-protection aren’t in conflict~]
[Me too! This time, I’m siding with Ji Xizhi!!]
Amidst the fan chaos, there are still a few clear-headed ones.
Half of Zhong Yulu’s fans were reminded by Ji Xizhi and started learning about relevant legal knowledge for their idol.
…
On the other side, Ji Fengyuan was just manipulating public opinion to boost his affectionate image.
Not long after, Ji Xizhi’s “kind” reminder appeared.
Ji Fengyuan: “!!!”
He angrily threw a cup, his gaze menacing.
“Ji Xizhi, she did this on purpose, didn’t she!”
Ji Fengyuan suppressed his anger and posted a new Weibo.
Ji Fengyuan V: You need to give some time for a proposal. After all these years, Lu Lu deserves the best. Apart from her, no one else will be Mrs. Ji.
After posting, he glanced at the trending topic featuring Ji Xizhi’s educational post, slowly reaching for his phone on the table and dialing a number.
“Piter, if you have time soon, come to the company. I want to discuss prenuptial agreements with you.”
After getting a response, Ji Fengyuan hung up.
He needed a deep and trustworthy image, which also helped him in his role as Mr. Ji in the Ji family company.
But that didn’t mean he would divide the Ji Family.
Looking at the improving comments on the trending topic due to his declaration post, Ji Fengyuan’s anger finally subsided a bit.
–
In the hotel, after replying above, Ji Xizhi saw intellectuals strongly moderating comments, suppressing foolish ones with likes in their group.
Because of the previous comment’s spread, no one dared to stir up trouble in the know-law couple’s super-topic anymore.
The know-law couple is real!!!
After replying to most fans who sent the schedule, Ji Xizhi didn’t pay attention to the various comments on Weibo and went to bed.
Just after lying down, before having a chance to turn off the light, she sensed something was wrong.
The fire sprinkler above seemed odd.
Ji Xizhi furrowed her brows, rolled out of bed, and picked up the phone to dial.
“Hello, I’ve found a problem with the fire sprinkler in the room. Please have hotel staff come upstairs to assist with the investigation.”
If there were cameras in the hotel, that would be illegal.
Ji Xizhi reacted quickly, notifying the hotel staff before immediately getting ready to collect evidence.
Before long, hotel staff came up and knocked on her door. Ji Xizhi was fully prepared.
As she opened the hotel room door.
She saw Qiu Lin in pajamas stepping out from her room across the hall, holding a phone to her ear.
Seeing Ji Xizhi, she paused.
“Ji Xizhi? Why are you still awake?”
Before Ji Xizhi could reply.
She heard the staff at Ji Xizhi’s door say, “Hello guest, based on your complaint, we’ve checked and found that the floor is rented by the Escape Room crew for shooting. We can assist with checking the issue, but are you sure it’s not a filming requirement by the crew?”
Qiu Lin: “???”
Wait a minute, did Ji Xizhi discover something!!!
Qiu Lin looked stunned, “Wait, wait, what did you say?”
Ji Xizhi and Qiu Lin exchanged a glance, “There’s a problem with the hotel room.”
As soon as Ji Xizhi said that, along with the hint from the staff just now, Qiu Lin realized instantly.
Her slippers nearly fell off, “Damn it, Director Xu! This must be Director Xu’s scheme! Zhi Zhi, what you discovered is definitely Director Xu’s plan against us for tomorrow!”
Qiu Lin ignored her phone, shut it with a “click,” and put a finger to her lips, signaling the staff for silence.
Then she dragged Ji Xizhi into her room.
“Zhi Zhi, quickly, help me check my room for issues!”
After Ji Xizhi entered Qiu Lin’s room, it didn’t take long to find a problem with the sprinkler head above the mattress.
Then, Qiu Lin knocked on Qian Huiyi, Xie Ming, Mo Anxia, and Le Qiqi’s rooms one by one.
Sure enough, each hotel room had hidden items, obviously part of Director Xu’s prank plan for the next morning.
