Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Congratulations to Sis on Escaping Her Misery!
One of the quicker-thinking reporters figured, since they were already offended, might as well ask more questions, and immediately started interviewing Ji Xizhi about her future plans.
“So, Zhi Zhi, do you have any companies you’re interested in signing with next?”
“What do you mean by leaving the industry? Are you planning to quit being a celebrity?”
The reporters hadn’t finished asking when they saw Ji Xizhi turn her head to look inside the courthouse entrance.
She looked at the reporters in front of her, stepping aside to give the best position to someone coming out, smiled, and said, “Focus on interviewing whoever invited you here!”
After she finished speaking, the reporters also noticed the people from Hangxing Entertainment inside the courthouse, and their eyes lit up.
There wasn’t much gossip from Ji Xizhi anymore, but the gossip from Hangxing Entertainment was much bigger.
Just imagine, a perennial winner losing to a newcomer who didn’t even hire a lawyer, how embarrassing!
This was unheard of, unseen before, and it could go on the social news!
The reporters immediately thanked Ji Xizhi for stepping aside and pushed forward eagerly.
President Zheng and Hangxing Entertainment’s legal team were a step slower, their expressions as black as the bottom of a pot.
Just out of the courthouse, before they had a chance to look up, they were bombarded by dozens of microphones.
President Zheng’s nose was almost poked crooked, stepping back several steps, and if it weren’t for a younger lawyer behind him propping him up, he’d probably already be on the ground.
“What are you doing, what are you doing?! Get out of my way!” President Zheng saw his group of expensive reporters now filming him, and furiously cursed, “Are you crazy? Physical assault is a crime! It’s a crime!”
But who among the reporters standing here wasn’t top of their company, and they had heard such words thousands of times before, not to mention that President Zheng had contacted them for an interview, and now everyone was competing, who would dare back down?
They squeezed even harder, all wanting to grab a first-hand scoop and hit the trending headlines.
“President Zheng, President Zheng, did Hangxing Entertainment really lose the case? Why did you lose?”
“I previously heard that Hangxing Entertainment practices onerous contracts, did you lose because of this, could you explain simply?”
“Will your company appeal for a second trial? Isn’t Hangxing Entertainment’s legal department undefeated? How do you feel about losing this time, President Zheng?!”
“President Zheng, President Zheng,…”
Not only President Zheng but also the lawyers behind him were being besieged to different degrees.
“Excuse me, Mr. Lawyer, as a perennial champion in the legal field, how do you feel about losing to a female celeb who didn’t even hire a lawyer?”
“How do you evaluate the performance of the plaintiff, Ji Xizhi, in court? Why did you lose to an ordinary person who isn’t even a lawyer? Does this mean that Hangxing Entertainment’s legal department is declining?”
“Or is there some unspeakable internal secret deal, care to talk about it?”
Faced with a bunch of reporters spitting questions, the lawyer team representing Hangxing Entertainment dared not speak out despite their anger, their faces turning liver-colored, and talk about feelings? What could they talk about? Directly say, Ji Xizhi didn’t hire a lawyer because she’s more professional than they are?! Or say that their own CEO personally offered his head to give the other side unlimited chances to attack?
The Hangxing Entertainment lawyer team had never been forced to this point before.
After this battle, their reputation in the legal circle was probably about to plummet as well.
Everything that happened at the courthouse entrance was captured by the reporters’ live cameras and synchronized online without reservation.
The entire internet exploded.
Weibo simultaneously topped the trending list, and the server directly crashed.
In all the major live broadcast rooms, screams filled the screens.
[Ahhhh, I knew Zhi Zhi would win! Zhi Zhi, you are my god!]
[Damn, I finally exhaled, Hangxing Entertainment must die! Go to hell!]
[Boohoo, I actually cried watching this, Zhi Zhi has never let us down!]
[Don’t cry up there, this is a happy occasion, congratulations to sister for escaping the abyss! Let’s celebrate nationwide, I’m going to pick 100 fans on Weibo to share 6666, must not have ever bashed our Zhi Zhi!]
[Rich lady sticking to rich lady, this intellectual is coming right away!]
The intellectuals in the live broadcast room were just short of starting a disco dance.
Especially seeing in the live camera that not only did Hangxing Entertainment have to terminate with Ji Xizhi, but they also had to pay a huge sum of money!
They were absolutely overjoyed.
No one even noticed whether Ji Xizhi planned to leave the industry anymore.
Someone even deliberately brought up earlier words in the live room for a sarcastic spin.
Zhong Yulu’s previous small account post was mocked as well.
[You’re probably just some washed-up female celeb’s small account, right?]
[Trying to ride off our Zhi Zhi’s buzz, do you even have the skill for that?!]
On the internet, Ji Xizhi’s victory went crazy.
In less than ten minutes, the news of Ji Xizhi winning had spread everywhere.
Zhong Yulu watched as her small account’s words were mocked like this, and she was so angry she almost blacked out.
Ji Xizhi actually won? How could she possibly win? This must be a publicity stunt with Hangxing Entertainment!!!
No matter what, she absolutely wouldn’t believe that Ji Xizhi could win on her own!
She opened Weibo, switched to another small account, opened Brother Sleep’s Weibo, and privately transferred a large sum of money again.
Brother Sleep was the Black Fan who previously claimed not to fear being sued by Ji Xizhi.
After Qi Zheng took over the Ping’an Village factory case, all the funds in his name’s bank accounts were frozen.
Now his lawsuit with Ji Xizhi was also about to open in court.
Brother Sleep didn’t have money to hire a lawyer, but he wasn’t willing to just give up, and finally, he looked at the large pool of Weibo followers he had gathered by bashing Ji Xizhi, and secretly started a crowdfunding campaign on Weibo.
Help make Ji Xizhi lose! You step on her, I’ll step on her, Ji Xizhi will definitely flop!
Brother Sleep, riding this wave, actually received quite a bit of money, after all, those who wanted to bash Ji Xizhi but didn’t want to stand out were hoping he could win.
In the end, before the trial, Brother Sleep used the money raised from fans to easily hire a few lawyers to handle the lawsuit, and even had some extra to splurge.
