Chapter 25: Ji Junshi Has Gone Godlike!

Chapter 25: Chapter 25: Ji Junshi Has Gone Godlike!

In the living room of the village chief’s house, captured by the livestream camera.

Zhong Yulu couldn’t teach anymore because all the village kids had gone over to Ji Xizhi’s side to listen. Feeling neglected, she finally couldn’t stand it anymore and left under the pretext of an excuse.

Seeing Zhong Yulu leave, Fang Zhuyue’s mood noticeably improved.

She didn’t mind whether Ji Xizhi outshone her; she simply found Ji Xizhi’s lecture fun and decided to join the kids in listening.

All the viewers in the livestream room quieted down as well.

Many people called their own children over to watch the livestream, encouraging them to learn along.

All around was silence, with only the warm light lingering over everyone, as if bathed in the glow of knowledge, stirring every viewer’s emotions.

Director Wang’s phone in the courtyard was almost exploding with calls from advertisers.

Desk lamps, learning machines, online education software, and even printer ad sponsors reached out.

The assistant skillfully added each advertiser on WeChat, negotiated collaboration, and then sat beside Director Wang, watching Ji Xizhi’s livestream with a beaming smile, saying, “Director Wang, our show is really going to make it big this time!”

Director Wang squinted his eyes into a line, thinking to himself, not just that, as long as Ji Xizhi is here, he has hopes of becoming a renowned director in the entertainment industry.

–

With the whole village helping, dinner was prepared quickly.

As it was about to be served, Qin Yutian also limped out from his room.

Though he had earned a lot of work points, he wasn’t foolish, seeing others use their points to host the villagers made him realize he shouldn’t keep them to himself, so he handed them over too.

The banquet was set in the village chief’s courtyard, with two large round tables laid out.

Ji Xizhi, Fang Zhuyue, Qin Yutian, and the villagers sat at one table, while Zhong Yulu, Ji Fengyuan, and Zhu Xiu’an sat at another.

Everyone politely took their seats at their own places.

Except for Director Wang.

He hurried over from the monitors, still thinking Ji Xizhi couldn’t possibly exclude him while inviting villagers.

Once he ran over, he found that Ji Xizhi really didn’t have a seat arranged for him!

Director Wang: “?” Happiness vanished from his lips.

Ji Xizhi had even prepared dinner for the follow-up PD and other crew members, yet not for him.

Director Wang couldn’t take it anymore, swallowing hard, he shouted at Ji Xizhi, “Ji Xizhi, what’s the deal, do you have a grudge against me?!”

[LOL, Director Wang, don’t you have some self-awareness?]

[Director Wang ran over happily, looking just like a simp hahahaha]

[My Sister Ji: Yes, I do, so what? You dare to fire me? (If only I dared to talk back to my boss like this)]

Ji Xizhi didn’t provoke Director Wang as the bullet comments suggested.

Instead, she was quite friendly, with a smiling face, her delicate features illuminated by the orange light, looking very gentle.

Ji Xizhi said, “No.”

Director Wang said grumpily, “Then why didn’t you invite…err, me?!”

It was his first time in the program looking for food from a guest, making him feel reluctant.

Ji Xizhi continued to smile, “Director Wang wants to eat together?”

Upon seeing Ji Xizhi so tactful, Director Wang’s mouth couldn’t help but curve upward.

“Indeed, since I haven’t had dinner yet, I might just…”

Before Director Wang could finish, Ji Xizhi clapped her hands.

The staff responsible for exchanging work points brought out a tray with food in one hand, and the board in the other.

On the top of the board, a beautifully written line was displayed in chalk.

[Dinner Exchange: 600 Work Points]

Director Wang’s voice caught: “——”

“Six hundred work points???”

Ji Xizhi candidly replied, “Of course, the ingredients here are worth more than 600 work points, it’s a great deal for dinner, and I’ve even given a discount considering our collaboration.”

[Hahaha I’m laughing so much my mom thinks we have a rooster at home crowing!]

[Hahahaha my stomach hurts, I’m rolling over in laughter, Ji Xizhi is hilarious!]

[Ji Junshi has reached godlike manipulation, I suspect she planned to charge Director Wang while inviting the villagers for dinner!]

[No wonder she didn’t prepare dinner for Director Wang earlier, she had prepared it for the rest of the production crew, showing high emotional intelligence, I was curious why only he was left out, turns out it’s all part of the plan!]

Every guest’s livestream viewers burst into laughter.

Director Wang was directly sulking.

He never imagined, so late at night, he would step right into a trap set by Ji Xizhi.

Karma perhaps, for all those times he tricked so many guests in previous episodes!

Director Wang was questioning life.

Ji Xizhi didn’t give him time to think, directly saying, “Director Wang, have you made up your mind? If not, we’ll start eating first. You can exchange later, no rush, but no further discounts, it’s already discounted!”

Director Wang: “!”

Start eating first? Then what food would be left for him?!

Late exchange is not as good as early exchange, the work points don’t change.

Being prompted by Ji Xizhi, Director Wang promptly sat at the table.

work points were firmly secured.

The other guests looked on, dumbfounded.

What kind of clever trickery was this? Previously, only Director Wang extracted work points from guests, now guests could fleece the director?! And such a large amount too!

Fang Zhuyue and Qin Yutian, being closest, almost dropped their chopsticks watching.

Ultimately, they could only look up to Ji Xizhi.

A height unattainable by us, better to enjoy the benefits!

The banquet commenced, with the table covered in dishes. Ji Xizhi had made several of her specialties, and the rest were cooked with the help of village uncles and aunties.

The villagers took a bite and immediately discerned which dishes were cooked by Ji Xizhi, and which were made by the villagers.

Then, the dishes cooked by Ji Xizhi were quickly emptied.

“Young lady, this chestnut-braised chicken is so flavorful, did you attend a hotel culinary course?”

“Exactly, this red-braised pork is aromatic, we’ve never tasted anything so flavorful in our lifetime, my tongue nearly got bitten!”

As they ate, the villagers complimented her incessantly, their chopsticks non-stop, sometimes listening to Ji Xizhi share recipes, sometimes chit-chatting with her, and with a few cups of plum wine, the barrier between the newcomers faded, growing closer to Ji Xizhi.

Meanwhile, Zhong Yulu, Ji Fengyuan, and Zhu Xiu’an at the neighboring table also wished to chat with the villagers, but unfortunately, topics never matched, no matter how hard they tried.

Zhong Yulu’s smile stiffened, leaving the table cold and quiet.

In the end, the villagers at their table, drawn by the laughter from the next table, quickly ate a few bites and moved over to join the merriment.

What used to be silent nights became lively thanks to Ji Xizhi.

People in the livestream room felt the warmth as well.

[I want to go home and see my grandparents! They’re in the countryside too, being able to look up and see the starry sky like this is truly beautiful!]

[Yes, simple happiness, I think this episode truly embodies “Life Experience,” life isn’t just hardship, there’s joy too～]

[And the pitfalls Director Wang fell into hahahaha!]

Everyone was cheery.

Just then, a clear knock on the door was heard from outside the courtyard.
