CHAPTER 83: CHAPTER 83: EVEN MORE ARROGANT?!

The trending topic continued into the next day.

At noon the next day, Qi Zheng from Tianzheng Law Firm publicly pinned a judgment document on the Weibo homepage.

Qi Zheng replied to her first.

Ji Xi knew the news of Qi Zheng’s victory earlier than those on Weibo; it was first sent to her via WeChat. The source of this c𝐨ntent is

Slam them?

But their thoughts were quickly shattered.

Seeing the trending topic, Xiao Yuan slapped her thigh and rushed to Ji Xi exclaiming:

[After all, it’s the trademark of Tianzheng Law Firm, getting Qi Zheng to handle the case, of course, it’s not comparable to ordinary cases!]

Xiao Yuan saw this too and couldn’t help but feel a bit worried.

And right in front of all the online viewers, he tagged them.

[It’s all a matter of encountering Qi Zheng; honestly, celebrities are powerful, otherwise, how could they get busy Qi Zheng, his cases are scheduled years ahead, not easy just for a beauty’s smile!]

Coincidentally, for these two days, Xiao Yuan was managing her Weibo, coordinating with the official fan club and other matters.

"Zhi Zhi, Qi Zheng’s sarcasm is too funny, I laughed to death! Let that shameless group ride the trend, got slammed, huh!"

They didn’t consider Ji Xi worth paying attention to, nor did they believe she would dare to respond, as they were industry veterans!

Ji Xi looked down for a couple of seconds, then gently hmm-ed.

Qi Zheng: We won, the prediction was very accurate, almost spot on.

Generally speaking, pollution cases like these are indeed extremely difficult lawsuits, with some going unresolved for over forty years.

Does she even qualify to slam them?

The commenting lawyer: ??? Quite bold! Dare to say that!

Fang Yuliang was currently sitting on a bus with Qi Zheng, bringing a group of Ping’an Village residents back to the village.

But before Ji Xi could query Qi Zheng.

Along with the evidence Ji Xi found, and Fang Yuliang’s appearance as a witness.

-

Forwarded Comment//Ji Xi V: Can win against you.

He sent this along with a judgment document.

Her forwarding didn’t mean sarcasm, she just wanted to share the judgment document.

And soon, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Their faces were numb with embarrassment.

Qi Zheng V: Good analysis.

[Ahhh my idol, damn, my idol took this case, boohoohoo!]

But to the lawyers who previously rode the trend, this action carried an entirely different meaning.

The Weibo post by Qi Zheng was right on the homepage, Ji Xi glanced at it and then forwarded the post.

[If Ji Xi hired ordinary lawyers or went to court herself, could this case even be won?]

Qi Zheng: Regarding Ping’an Village’s land, Fang Yuliang is already working on rehabilitating the polluted farmland.

It’s indeed not quite right.

The new lawyers hired by the factory couldn’t withstand the pressure at all.

Ji Xi thanked him briefly, and soon ended the chat.

Xiao Yuan: ???!

Qi Zheng’s mocking Weibo post had climbed onto the trending list, which Ji Xi hadn’t initially noticed.

Those lawyers never expected Qi Zheng to take on such a troublesome case.

At the same time, he brazenly tagged a few lawyers who analyzed the trending topic all night to ride the wave.

Fang Yuliang: Okay, we won the case, congratulations.

Forwarded Comment//Ji Xi V: Can win.

[I wanted to say last night, this shameless group, they can’t do it themselves, yet they drag others down!]

Lawyers who passionately posted last night: "..."

The case was fought by Qi Zheng, not her!

The lawyers were quick to shift the blame, anyway, they weren’t trampling on Qi Zheng last night; Ji Xi, a rookie, simply got lucky because of Qi Zheng’s influence, otherwise, there was no way the case could be won.

Ji Xi is an artist, every word she says could be remembered, even brought up years later to be criticized, that’s possible.

She expected to win the factory case when teaming up with Qi Zheng.

The Weibo content soon changed to :

The factory near Ping’an Village not only discharged wastewater illegally but also acted as a middleman for other factories to discharge various wastes. Earlier, Ji Xi had warned that the factory’s financial chain might have issues, and Qi Zheng quickly reacted, coordinating with law enforcement agencies to identify anomalies in the factory’s financial flows, leading them to the company collaborating with the factory to discharge wastewater.

Ji Xi was quite satisfied with this result; last time, Director Wang gave excellent health check results to the residents of Ping’an Village, and now the biggest issue was just the polluted farmland.

She actively sent a message to Fang Yuliang.

Soon, the factory’s head and everyone involved in the incident were sentenced and fined, and the factory was closed directly.

Upon receiving the message, he took the phone out, awkwardly unlocked it to read.

[??? Wait, how come it was won?! When did it go to trial, how did Ji Xi hire Qi Zheng?]

[Hahaha good analysis, next time don’t analyze!]

Upon seeing Ji Xi’s message, the cold expression on his face slightly softened.

Xiao Yuan laughed, clutching her stomach, and handed the phone to Ji Xi.

Ji Xi looked at the result in the document, her eyes tinged with a smile.

She took back the phone to edit the Weibo post.

This victory wasn’t solely due to the evidence collected from the show that helped win the lawsuit.

Ji Xi: If there’s anything you need help with regarding Ping’an Village, feel free to reach out to me.

She believed in Ji Xi’s abilities, but regarding lawyers and lawsuits, as she knew, nothing is a guaranteed win.

Not only did he take it, he won it.

Once he received the message, he immediately knew it was Ji Xi.

Ji Xi was momentarily stunned.

The trend-riding lawyers were mocked by netizens until their faces turned red with anger and soon began to jump and defend themselves on Weibo.

A perfect score for veiled sarcasm and mockery.

But what does it mean now that Ji Xi is sharing it?

It was rare for Fang Yuliang to receive an initiative contact from Ji Xi; he had been carrying this smartphone with only Ji Xi on his WeChat.

Ji Xi not only dared to respond but specifically replied to the comment questioning whether she could win the case.

At first, they were ridiculed by Qi Zheng, which was embarrassing, but with Qi Zheng’s prowess, they had no choice but to accept it despite the shame.

Qi Zheng delivered a resounding slap in the face to the group of lawyers who were desperately trying to ride the trend last night.

This was what the villagers valued most.

The analysis videos on their Weibo pages were suddenly awkward to delete or keep.

Xiao Yuan worriedly glanced at Ji Xi and softly said, "Zhi Zhi, would it be a bit inappropriate to post that?"

That wasn’t what she meant! How did it become even more arrogant?!
