I’ve Gone Viral Because of a Money-Saving Variety Show

Chapter 4: Chapter 4 Chen Xixi Saves Money Step 4: Refuse to be Made a Fool by Others Chapter 4: Chapter 4 Chen Xixi Saves Money Step 4: Refuse to be Made a Fool by Others The netizens in the live stream couldn’t hear what was said on the other end of the phone.
Only to see Chen Xixi remaining silent for a while, listening quietly to the other party’s questions, then she looked down at the receipt in her hand and said, “Yes, I have concrete evidence.”
Indeed, Chen Xixi had called the relevant authorities to report the restaurant.
[Hahaha! Such a move, eating a free lunch and then reporting the restaurant, I never saw it coming! This girl’s method is quite something!]
[Actually, Chen Xixi’s behavior makes logical sense, but why do I feel surprised? I didn’t even register for a moment that the restaurant’s conduct was illegal.]
[Sigh, it feels like we’ve been conned for so long, plus being out and about for the adults’ so-called face, so we passively accept it, over time, we subconsciously think this kind of behavior is normal…]
[I was just about to say that what the restaurant did was illegal, I never thought Chen Xixi would actually report it, I must say I’m thrilled! Such deceptive businesses deserve to be reported!]
The efficiency of the relevant department was very high; within less than five minutes, Chen Xixi, standing at the entrance of the restaurant with hands in her pockets, was personally invited back into the restaurant by the boss to sit in his office for a negotiation process.
The restaurant’s boss was in his mid-forties to fifties, somewhat overweight, with dense hair, wearing a large gold watch and a big gold chain, resembling a newfound wealthy individual.
The boss served tea to Chen Xixi with a forcing smile: “Hello, I am Boss Zheng from the Fuxiyuan Hotpot Barbecue Restaurant.”
After introducing himself, Boss Zheng sat down opposite Chen Xixi, speaking in a somewhat familiar tone, “Well… if you have any complaints, you could have just told me directly, why go through the trouble! I’ll refund you right now! But you need to give me that receipt first.”
Chen Xixi calmly took the receipt out of her pocket, but paused for a moment and withdrew her hand immediately, making the boss tremble in terror.
Chen Xixi holding onto the evidence and not giving it to him clearly indicated she didn’t want to reconcile easily and intended to pursue the matter further. How could he not be nervous!
Chen Xixi raised an eyebrow, “You’ll refund me, but you’ll cheat the next person, right?”
Boss Zheng, with a complicated expression, felt the girl was being unreasonable. He had agreed to a refund, yet she wasn’t letting it go! He was really unlucky to encounter such a difficult customer upon opening!
Boss Zheng, suppressing his displeasure, explained with patience, “You can’t say it like that, it’s not cheating, but… little girl, you don’t understand, the whole industry works this way! If you’re still not satisfied, how about this, next time you come, I will give you a free meal! Guaranteed no charges!”
Boss Zheng felt like he needed to offer more benefits to deal with this tough girl!
Chen Xixi remained unmoved: “It’s not about getting a free meal.”
Such an obvious hint, could a seasoned businessman like Boss Zheng not understand?
His eyes instantly carried a hint of sarcasm, speaking bluntly, “Then how do you want to settle this? What more advantageous compensation do you want?”
Boss Zheng inwardly sneered, looking at the young girl in front of him who seemed naive and easy to deceive but was actually fiercely cunning inside!
A single meal wasn’t enough for her, it seemed like she wanted to take the opportunity to extort a large sum from him! And she still had the nerve to accuse him of scamming? This chick was truly the one trying to fleece others! He had really met his match!
“More advantageous compensation, huh…” Chen Xixi repeated meaningfully, then stopped talking and just looked deeply into Boss Zheng’s eyes.
Being a smart man, Boss Zheng got the point instantly, and replied with a smile, “How about I waive three meals?”
Chen Xixi pursed her lips, remaining silent.
Thinking Chen Xixi was still not satisfied, the clever Boss Zheng continued in a bargaining tone, “Five meals?”
Chen Xixi let out a faint “tsk”, appearing to be holding back words.
Seeing that the young girl seemed to be about to concede but just needed him to push a little more, Boss Zheng gritted his molars, persisted, and added, “How about I waive ten meals!”
Chen Xixi paused briefly.
After all, what she originally wanted to speak about wasn’t this, but with these benefits thrown in by the greedy boss, refusing them would be too heartbreaking.
Especially heartbreak for herself!
That was ten free meal vouchers after all.
Chen Xixi showed a rather satisfied smile, pausing, then said, “Then, should I also get my spent money refunded?”
Boss Zheng quickly responded, “Absolutely, definitely refund!”
“And after that?”
“After that?” It took a while for Boss Zheng to catch what this troublesome young lady meant.
Frowning and almost grinding his molars to bits, but still forced a nearly cracking fake smile and said, “How much more compensation do you want?”
This bratty girl was trying to blackmail him, wasn’t she?!
[Damn! I was just about to praise Chen Xixi for handling it well, but now listening to their conversation, why does it feel like a case of pot calling the kettle black?]
[What’s the difference between what Chen Xixi is doing and what the sneaky boss did? Looking at it, they seem to be of the same kind; I’m a bit disappointed in Chen Xixi! I initially thought she was quite righteous!]
[Chen Xixi was the first to be wronged, so what’s wrong with her using the same method to get back what’s hers from the boss!]
[True, that’s the logic, but the nature of the situation is different now! Initially, Chen Xixi was defending her rights, but if she continues to demand excessive compensation, it looks a bit like extortion!]
The online users started debating on this issue, some agreeing with Chen Xixi demanding more compensation as a victim, while others felt that if she used her leverage to demand too much, it would be unethical, bordering on extortion.
The incident of Chen Xixi’s free lunch suddenly became a hot topic online, even attracting the attention of envious netizens who tagged the local authorities.
Chen Xixi, having just started her live broadcast, already achieved the highest popularity among all guests, which was a step closer to signing a contract with Nanxing Entertainment and getting five million, obviously making quite a few people in their low period jealous.
Why should she, Chen Xixi, have such an easy time landing five million when others don’t even have a chance?
[@Jiang City Police, someone is extorting here, aren’t you going to manage it?!]
[@Jiang City Internet Police, @Xinhang Law Firm, look! Someone is trying to extort here!]
