Rise and Slay: From Scandal Queen to Academic Genius

Chapter 411 386: Who Taught Her to Collect So Much Experience Like This?!



Just when everyone was curious.

A long burgundy dress with fine shimmering gold peeked out from the car.

When everyone saw this dress, their first reaction was — fashion faux pas!

Fashion faux pas on the red carpet!

And it’s a fashion faux pas with Ji Xizhi!!

Oh my god, this will definitely be the top trending search tonight!!!

All the cameras aimed straight at the car, eagerly awaiting this hot topic dropped from the sky.

Under the bright, daylight-like flashlights, Ji Xizhi bent over, guided by Qiu Hu, and stepped out of the car.

Photographer: “???”

Person in charge: “???”

Live stream fans: “???”

The flashing lights at the red carpet entrance paused for a few seconds.

[Huh? Huh?? What’s going on, did I hallucinate? Didn’t Ji Xizhi just walk by!]

[Leafy looked super super gorgeous today—huh? Why is there another Ji Xizhi? Spl…splitting technique!]

[Goodness, I’m just stunned, is this what Ji Xizhi meant by coming back later?]

[Ahhhhh sister is so beautiful, really so beautiful!]

A few seconds later, the flood of flashlights resumed non-stop.

Even Shanli and Shen Yeyi, who were used to the flashlights, couldn’t help but blink.

The person in charge at the red carpet entrance thought he had amnesia, guiding Ji Xizhi towards the red carpet while covering his earpiece and whispering:

“What the heck is happening? Didn’t Ji Xizhi already walk by? What’s going on with the list?!”

The earpiece side was even more panicky than the person in charge and replied after a while: “It’s a clerical error on the list, Ji Xizhi has a total of… three shows today!”

The person in charge almost tripped on the red carpet upon hearing “three shows”.

“How many shows?”

“Correct, it’s three shows because of a list verification error. They thought Ji Xizhi was only walking once with Director Wang; her name got mixed up for the other two shows. In fact, she also has red carpet events with the ‘Rival in Love’ and ‘Love Begins Here’ crews.”

Person in charge: “?”

Incomprehensible, unseen and unheard of, totally outrageous!

Does this make sense?

Well… it’s not impossible. Ji Xizhi isn’t walking the red carpet alone, she’s with the crew, which doesn’t affect other artists’ turns or the total duration.

Most importantly, the organizers never had regulations for this!

The flashlights finally brought sense back to the person in charge.

The person in charge, with a subtle expression, led Ji Xizhi and others onto the red carpet once more.

The entire ‘Rival in Love’ crew still didn’t know the root cause of the frenzy, but it didn’t stop them all from being very happy.

Director Jin originally thought the attention on her first online drama wouldn’t be that high, but unexpectedly, it exceeded expectations!

No matter the reason, the publicity effect she wanted has been achieved.

Director Jin glanced at Ji Xizhi, where the flashlights were concentrated, suddenly remembered something, and said:

“Zhi Zhi, remember to walk the red carpet in sync with everyone else later!”

Director Jin knew that Ji Xizhi hadn’t participated in red carpet events before. However, because Ji Xizhi had issues that kept her from departing with them, she arrived later, and Director Jin forgot to remind her until now.

Ji Xizhi nodded, “I have looked into it.”

Director Jin felt relieved instantly and elegantly took the lead onto the red carpet.

Qiu Hu had to accompany the female lead Shen Yeyi, so they walked arm-in-arm onto the red carpet.

The remaining pair was Ji Xizhi and Shanli.

Ji Xizhi walked significantly slower this time, and when they reached the spot for photos, Shanli gently squeezed her palm, and the two of them stopped in sync.

They then let the photographers go wild with their cameras from both sides of the red carpet.

Minutes ago, these photographers were still disappointed not capturing the stunning Ji Xizhi. Many planned that after the red carpet ended, they would stake out at the exit and snap dozens, even hundreds of photos of Ji Xizhi.

But never mind waiting for the red carpet to end, it’s only been a few celebrities, and Ji Xizhi appeared again!

The photographers were too excited to question it, their fingers trembling on the shutter.

A female photographer’s eyes widened, trying to call her colleagues, only to find the crowd behind was already jam-packed.

Quickly she turned back, crazily pressing the shutter again.

Unlike the other photographers who madly snapped only Ji Xizhi, she instantly noticed Ji Xizhi and Shanli’s clasped hands and Shanli’s gaze toward Ji Xizhi!

Her CP (couple pairing) radar detector went off instantly! With such CP tension, ahhh, I’m shipping them!

Ji Xizhi and Shanli didn’t stay long at the photo spot, soon following Director Jin and the others to the front of the red carpet.

The host held a microphone, looking at Ji Xizhi with a gaze both dull and awkward.

Obviously, he had been informed about Ji Xizhi walking the red carpet again.

The host handed over a pen, the routine being a signature when it was Ji Xizhi’s turn.

Ji Xizhi paused with the pen in hand and looked at the host:

“Do I have to sign again?”

The host, holding the microphone, hadn’t even replied.

Shanli had already pulled Ji Xizhi over, “Of course you have to sign! Sign here!”

The flashlights of the CP fans lit up again.

The ‘Rival in Love’ crew’s publicity was much simpler than that of Director Wang’s film, which is still in casting.

Director Jin took the microphone, said some obligatory words, and told everyone to look forward to the launch.

After interviewing Director Jin, the host jumped straight to Ji Xizhi.

Qiu Hu and Shen Yeyi were momentarily stunned, then smiled at each other, making room for Ji Xizhi in the C position.

The host picked up the mic, clearing his throat twice, with a rare trace of embarrassment on his face.

He awkwardly laughed and said, “Oh, so that’s what Teacher Ji meant by coming back later~”

Ji Xizhi responded calmly, “Is there anything to note for the next time?”

The host recalled one more red carpet round left for Ji Xizhi, yet couldn’t utter a word.

Ji Xizhi is not here to walk the red carpet!

Ji Xizhi is here to gain experience!!

Who taught her to extract lessons like this!!!

[Today’s host had been on CCTV; never has there been a time when he was so speechless~]

[The extraterrestrials from next door complain about my laughter, telling me to shut up. How can someone walk the red carpet so amusingly, it clears my mind, I couldn’t fathom Ji Xizhi walking twice!]

[Let her walk, let her walk, punish her to walk five more times!!! Can’t get enough, really can’t get enough!]

[And there may be another show for Ji Xizhi later, how come there’s a next time otherwise?]

[I think I can guess, I took a look at the cast list, and ‘Love Begins Here’ crew is present!!!]

[“Mischievous.jpg” Next time, you can’t say our Zhi Zhi doesn’t work hard in her career! See how hard she works in one night~~]

The livestream erupted in laughter, and searches gradually went from popular to explosive on Weibo.

The ‘Rival in Love’ crew stood on the red carpet, and after hearing the host’s remark, noticed something was off.

How come it felt like the host and Ji Xizhi were quite familiar? Did they know each other previously?

The host saw through the surprised looks of those next to Ji Xizhi and smiled, “It’s quite impressive that Teacher Ji walked the red carpet twice!”

Right after praising, a voice from among the photographers shouted out.

“Teacher Ji, can you do more poses next time?!”

Ji Xizhi responded, “Sure.”

The others in the ‘Rival in Love’ crew had never seen a scene on the red carpet where photographers asked artists for more poses, let alone the ‘next time’. How likely could that happen again?

But nobody mentioned anything on the red carpet.

After cooperating with the host to finish speaking, they took a few photos on the red carpet, and then the crew exited to rest indoors.

As they were lining up to exit, Qiu Hu inadvertently glanced at the signature board next to him.

“Hey? Is this Zhi Zhi’s signature here? Our signatures were over there…”

The ‘Rival’ crew’s-autographs were all together, signed on the right side of the signature board, including Ji Xizhi’s.

But why is —

There also Ji Xizhi’s signature on the left side?

Qiu Hu’s mind stalled, muttering to himself.

Ji Xizhi, just a step away from Qiu Hu, heard his question, slightly turned her head, and answered:

“I signed that when I walked with Director Wang on the red carpet.”

Qiu Hu: “?”
