Rise and Slay: From Scandal Queen to Academic Genius
Chapter 93: Bask in the Top Scholar’s Good Fortune!
CHAPTER 93: CHAPTER 93: BASK IN THE TOP SCHOLAR’S GOOD FORTUNE!
Zhong Yulu had managed to snag a regular spot on "Life Experience" with great difficulty.
To that end, she did a lot of preparation, and she made sure to learn about the preferences of Guan Fengyan and Sheng Yaoyao in advance.
Guan Fengyan is an experienced actor in the entertainment industry, having starred in numerous hit dramas. He is well-respected as a veteran artist because of his outstanding performances and versatile acting skills.
Sheng Yaoyao, on the other hand, is a top-tier actress from the last celebrity generation, who secured the Best Actress title early on. Later, she found true love at the peak of her career and married the eldest son of the Shi family. She recently gave birth, and "Life Experience" is her first show back after maternity leave.
These two regular guests can be considered veterans in the entertainment industry. Zhong Yulu got up early specifically today to become acquainted with the two of them.
Especially Sheng Yaoyao, upon learning that she is strict about skincare, Zhong Yulu even brought a parasol to shield Sheng Yaoyao from the sun, which earned quite a bit of favor from her.
Zhong Yulu shifted her gaze away from Ji Xizhi and inadvertently noticed the live streaming cameras that the program team had set up early, a slight smile on her lips.
With Ji Xizhi as a contrast, her early rising and waiting seemed all the more meaningful.
Not far away, Ji Xizhi, who had just arrived, didn’t notice Zhong Yulu’s gaze at all. She had arrived twenty minutes early at the location specified by the program team.
Since this trip was by bus, the program team set the meeting point on a roadside.
Ji Xizhi arrived and, without first greeting the other guests from the program team, directly put her luggage under the bus.
The fans in the live stream room saw Ji Xizhi’s work wear as she arrived.
Everyone was extremely excited.
[Ahhhh Zhi Zhi, it really is Zhi Zhi in work wear, so cool, I love it! Sister, come on, face me!]
[Wuwuwu, seeing Zhi Zhi again, it feels so good!]
[Why does Ji Xizhi always arrive so late?! Making Guan Fengyan and Sheng Yaoyao wait is ridiculous. Doesn’t she know the rules of the entertainment industry?!]
[Reply to the person above, thanks for the invite, I don’t know, I’ve backed out of the industry! Didn’t you see the guest introduction label says special guest?]
[Laughing to death, from the last episode to this one, I figured Zhi Zhi wasn’t late either. Being twenty minutes early is already early, right?!]
[Zhong Yulu knows to come early, besides, she didn’t put her luggage first, she greeted Uncle Yan and Sister Yaoyao right away. Ji Xizhi came late and doesn’t even know to be polite?!]
Fans with sour grapes mocked wildly in the comments.
Meanwhile, Ji Xizhi had already safely placed her luggage and was walking calmly toward the bus door.
Zhong Yulu, Sheng Yaoyao, and Guan Fengyan were standing not far from the bus door.
Zhong Yulu watched Ji Xizhi approaching step-by-step, subconsciously recalling Ji Xizhi’s aloof demeanor from the airport the last time.
The guests for the last program were all young people, around the same age as Ji Fengyuan, who was the biggest name there. Ji Xizhi greeted them casually and then went to sit by her side, and no one paid much attention.
But this time was different.
Guan Fengyan and Sheng Yaoyao are both veteran figures in the entertainment circle, and young artists like them would definitely address them as teachers when they see them.
If Ji Xizhi handles it carelessly this time, like last time, she’ll definitely get criticized.
Zhong Yulu thought to herself, feeling increasingly pleased.
She wanted to turn her head to chat with Sheng Yaoyao and Guan Fengyan again.
But as she turned, she saw that Sheng Yaoyao and Guan Fengyan were already gone.
Zhong Yulu: "???"
Sheng Yaoyao and Guan Fengyan had already heard about Ji Xizhi’s acceptance into Qing University. In the entertainment industry, beautiful people are abundant.
But what is truly scarce are academic achievers.
Especially ones like Ji Xizhi, who even if searching through the whole sea, might not be found!
What parent wouldn’t be envious seeing such scores?!
By coincidence, Guan Fengyan’s eldest son was preparing for college entrance exams, and Sheng Yaoyao had just become a new mother.
Upon seeing Ji Xizhi coming over, they both knew exactly what each other was thinking by just exchanging glances.
Without waiting for Ji Xizhi to come forward and greet them, they eagerly walked up to her.
Not for anything else, but just to bask in the good luck of the academic god.
The two almost seemed to compete, one walking faster than the other, almost breaking into a scuffle.
In the end, Sheng Yaoyao seized the opportunity and started, "Zhi Zhi, you’re here! Hello, I’m Sheng Yaoyao. We’ll be filming the show together; I’m a bit older than you, so just call me Sister Yaoyao!
Guan Fengyan gave Sheng Yaoyao a somewhat helpless look and quickly followed up, "Guan Fengyan, just call me Uncle Yan, Zhi Zhi!"
After he finished, he pretended to be angry and said, "Your daughter still has eighteen years to go! What’s the hurry, my son takes the exam next year, let me bask first!"
The audience in the live stream comment section was dumbfounded by that remark and didn’t react for quite a while.
[What does that mean? Bask in what??? Bask in cards? But the year is over, hasn’t the card collecting ended?!]
[Hahaha oh my, next year, I get it, Uncle Yan’s son has exams next year hahahahahaha]
[I’m laughing my head off, I mean what eighteen years, turns out it is about college entrance exams! Yao Bao, you’re thinking too soon hahaha, the baby just born and you’re already talking exams!]
[My goodness, I’m calling you amazing, turns out it’s all about basking in the academic god’s good vibes!]
[My mom just told me that to bask in Ji Xizhi’s vibes, she’ll enter the industry hahahahaha!]
[Person upstairs, I respect your aunt as a warrior! Mommy who rides the wind and waves must have an entry position for auntie!]
[Hey, the person who said there was no respect for seniors, come out here. Let’s chat, isn’t this good vibe more genuine than paying fake respects to elders?]
The battle between Guan Fengyan and Sheng Yaoyao made the comments explode with laughter.
On the scene, Ji Xizhi didn’t quite understand the conversation between the two, but she politely called, "Sister Yaoyao, Uncle Yan."
Sheng Yaoyao and Guan Fengyan were overjoyed when they heard it and replied cheerfully.
The two almost surrounded Ji Xizhi on both sides.
Guan Fengyan, usually the big brother in the entertainment industry, who never felt nervous on the award platform, now had a slightly blushing old face. He rubbed his hands, asking Ji Xizhi, "Zhi Zhi, my boy takes the college entrance exam next year. Do you have any study tips?!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Xizhi finally understood the enthusiasm of Guan Fengyan and Sheng Yaoyao.
Nevertheless, she always welcomed questions related to studying, so she readily agreed, "Of course, there’s still some time until next year. We can make a detailed study plan."
After all, the bus ride to Lishui County would take some time, and discussing study methods during the ride seemed quite good.
On the bus, Ji Xizhi sat in an aisle seat, with Guan Fengyan seated across the aisle to her left, and Sheng Yaoyao on her right.
Although Sheng Yaoyao’s child was still young, she believed in starting education from a young age and eagerly listened from nearby.
The two of them took the seats around Ji Xizhi.
Nearby, Zhong Yulu was gripping her parasol so hard it almost broke.
The audience watching the live stream almost laughed their heads off seeing this scene.
[No doubt Zhi Zhi, I’m getting my exam papers out from six months ago, and I’m going to study!]
[King of studying, starting from a young age! Yao Yao’s child is going to have it tough, hahaha!]
[Uncle Yan is really trying, hope Uncle Yan’s son can enter Qing University next year!!!]
[How about Uncle Yan gives me a shot? I’m sitting for my college entrance exam this year!]
As the audience laughed, Ji Xizhi took out an already prepared study plan and handed it to Guan Fengyan.
Ji Xizhi: "As it happens, I have a reference here. It’s my assistant’s study plan, which may be used as a simple reference, but do adapt it to personal circumstances!"
With this, many viewers also caught a glimpse of the study plan on their screens.
[Am I seeing things on this sheet?! Is Qing University the goal???]
[??? Wait, whose plan is this anyway?]
[Isn’t Ji Xizhi’s current assistant Xiao Yuan? Is Xiao Yuan really that awesome?!]
Poor Xiao Yuan, diligently studying according to the plan as part of preparation, just happened to take a break and glanced at the live stream.
As soon as her eyes caught the comments, everything went black.
Just great, the entire nation now knows she’s applying for Qing University for her graduate studies?!
