Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Ji Xizhi Has Collected Two Divine Dragons!

Qin Yutian’s injury was really unexpected.

Director Wang was busy with product placement at the time; everyone was in Ji Xizhi’s live room, so no one noticed for a while.

Fortunately, Qin Yutian was not seriously injured, just a cut on his lower leg by a sickle that made him bleed a little.

When he was helped inside, Director Wang was so scared his face went pale.

Qin Yutian is a rising star; though not at the top, his fans are definitely a force to be reckoned with.

It’s no wonder Director Wang was frightened; Qin Yutian’s live room was indeed in chaos, with everyone angrily criticizing the show crew.

[That’s the leg he uses to dance! What if something goes wrong, what about scars!!]

[Didn’t the production crew consider the possibility of guests getting injured when arranging such dangerous tasks?!]

[Stupid production team, they deserve to flop!!! Everyone, stop watching, let him quit the crew!]

[Exactly, don’t give any traffic to this harmful production team!]

Director Wang took one look and couldn’t focus on anything else. He immediately arranged for Qin Yutian to stay at the village chief’s house, and then called in the on-site doctor to treat Qin Yutian’s wound.

Once the doctor was done and confirmed Qin Yutian was fine, Director Wang finally breathed a deep sigh of relief.

After bandaging the wound, Director Wang first apologized to Qin Yutian and then contacted Qin Yutian’s agent.

All of these actions were done under the live camera, and with Director Wang’s sincere attitude, plus Qin Yutian kept saying he was fine, even jokingly asking Director Wang for work points, the fans’ anger gradually subsided.

After calming the fans, Qin Yutian rested at the village chief’s house.

But, of course, the live recording of the program had to continue.

The task of harvesting corn wasn’t finished; Ji Fengyuan and Zhu Xiu’an, among others, were exhausted after helping Qin Yutian back.

Now with one less person, the remaining four guests slowed down the corn harvesting again; at this rate, they might have to work until dark.

Considering the safety of the guests, Director Wang thought for a moment and decided to go upstairs to find Ji Xizhi.

On the second floor, Ji Xizhi had just returned to her desk and was about to read when she saw Director Wang calling her to come out again.

“Ahem, Ji Xizhi, come out for a moment!”

Ji Xizhi walked outside to where it was just out of the camera’s view. She asked, “What’s up?”

Director Wang: “Well, the corn harvesting task, go and help out!”

Upon hearing this, Ji Xizhi immediately wanted to turn back to get the contract.

Director Wang’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly grabbed Ji Xizhi’s arm, frustrated: “Oh, you silly! Can’t you understand?! With fewer guests now, if you help out, it’s a good time to build a favorable impression!”

Director Wang intended to guide Ji Xizhi, but not just for her sake. Now with Qin Yutian’s incident, the four guests in the yard had lost all their spirit, all looking dejected. Who would want to watch such a live stream, where’s the buzz in that!

He had Ji Xizhi help out partly because he trusted her ability. After all, during the morning’s live stream, it was obvious when she was traversing the mountains that she was not like the other guests; she at least seemed to have lived in the mountains. On the other hand, he wanted to maintain the show’s momentum. This was the best-rated episode of “Life Experience,” and Director Wang didn’t want to waste it.

Looking at Director Wang, Ji Xizhi calmly said, “No need, Director Wang. I don’t need to build relationships; I’m about to retire from the industry.”

Director Wang: “?”

“Retire from what! I know you have some issues with Hangxing Entertainment. How about this, if you’re willing to help, I know a lawyer at Tianzheng Law Firm, and I can get you an appointment!”

Director Wang simply didn’t believe any star at such a career upturn would choose to retire. He just assumed it was because Ji Xizhi was disheartened by the Hangxing Entertainment situation. He straightforwardly offered a helping hand, intending to assist Ji Xizhi.

He had heard bits and pieces about Hangxing Entertainment’s situation, and by introducing Ji Xizhi to a lawyer, it would be a significant help to her.

Ji Xizhi was about to refuse, but hearing the second part, she hesitated.

She did indeed need a lawyer now, not to file lawsuits for her, but to help collect some evidence material. While preparing for her exams and keeping an eye on collections, she might miss things, and having a lawyer’s help would enable her to focus on exam preparation.

Ji Xizhi, weighing her options, replied, “Okay.”

Hearing her agreement, Director Wang nodded satisfactorily.

–

The remaining four guests from the program group were resting in the courtyard; during the break, they even went to touch up their sun-worn makeup.

But after touching up, they remembered there was still a lot of corn left unharvested.

Now with Qin Yutian injured and one fewer person, completing the task was even more challenging.

The guests were instantly filled with worry.

As they were brooding, they saw Ji Xizhi coming down the stairs, with Director Wang following.

Director Wang cheerfully said, “Since everyone’s rested enough, let’s head to the cornfield! The task can’t stop!”

[What! Is Director Wang even human???]

[This is too much, really over the top!! Is he trying to work the guests to death?]

[But this is reality, isn’t it? Life isn’t easy. Honestly, it’s better than other fake work programs! I do not want to watch that kind of phony labor!!]

Zhu Xiu’an had just rested for a while when he heard Director Wang urging again, and he couldn’t help but shout:

“Director Wang, we’re now short one person; it’s impossible to complete the task!”

Director Wang: “No worries, I’ve got someone for you. Ji Xizhi will go with you, so there are still five people!”

Zhu Xiu’an continued shouting: “Is that the same? What kind of strength does Qin Yutian have, and what kind of strength does she have?”

[? I give Zhu Xiu’an one minute to take that back!]

[Does Zhu Xiu’an seriously have no idea?! At the airport, Ji Xizhi completely outshone him!]

[Stop, stop, if he had any self-awareness, would he keep bringing up his black history? He’s silly like that!]

Director Wang, like the audience in the commentary, wished he could sew Zhu Xiu’an’s mouth shut but unfortunately had no needle at hand.

He glanced at Zhu Xiu’an, his smile widening, “If you don’t complete the task, you won’t get points tonight and can’t exchange for a place to stay!”

Zhu Xiu’an felt a sharp pang in his brow.

He had had enough of having no place to sleep last night, and if there’s no proper place tonight, he’d go mad.

“…Alright, alright, I’m going to do the task!”

Zhu Xiu’an ran off quickly.

The remaining guests, hearing this, also followed suit and headed out.

Who wouldn’t want points for a place to stay!

But Ji Xizhi looked unhurried; Fang Zhuyue initially wanted to wait for her, but Ji Xizhi turned him down.

“You go ahead, I’ll be there soon.”

[Is Ji Xizhi planning to slack off? I’ve heard this kind of thing before!]

[Impossible, though I’m a new fan, I can see Ji Xizhi is someone who keeps her promises!]

[Trust our Zhi Zhi! She’s really great!!!]

The number of Ji Xizhi’s fans on the commentary was growing.

On location, Ji Xizhi went up to the Ping’an Village chief.

“Chief, I’m going to talk about the ending of ’Today’s Law’ later, could you gather the villagers for me? Anyone interested can come to help out, and I’ll make sure to deliver an entertaining talk today!”

The village chief, unable to influence the filming of the show, had been idle, unable to do farm work or watch TV, growing restless.

Hearing Ji Xizhi’s proposal, his eyes practically lit up, and he shouted: “That’s great! Everyone’s been mentioning it all morning, if you’re willing to talk, help is guaranteed. Everyone, come!”

With that, he sprinted into the village, shouting for people as he ran.

It didn’t take long for all the villagers to gather around.

Director Wang, sitting in front of the monitor, clutched his nose bridge, stunned: “??!!”

How could he have forgotten! Ji Xizhi clearly summoned two Divine Dragons yesterday!

Aside from the guests on site who could help with the task, she could command the entire village of villagers!

Director Wang watched in amazement as Ji Xizhi led a large group of villagers, marching majestically towards the cornfield.

Not to mention borrowing gloves and sickles with work points, the villagers all brought their own; not only did they come ready, but they also brought several pairs for Ji Xizhi.

The concern and hospitality overshadowed even his collaborative visits to the village!
