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

Chapter 33: Chapter 32 The Rich but Foolish Uncle!_2 Chapter 33: Chapter 32 The Rich but Foolish Uncle!_2 But the man seemed to see through Zheng He’s mind and said, “The signal here is not very good, cellphones and such don’t work well here.”
It’s less suspicious to straightforwardly confiscate cellphones; a signal jammer is the best choice.
It would be impossible for anyone wanting to call the police or contact friends to send out an SOS message.
As for after-sales service, ineffective products, or coming back later with complaints… their organization generally harvests a batch of “leeks” and then moves to another city, staying in each city for only two or three days. At present, this dilapidated building is rented by the day, so they fear nothing.
Hearing this, Zheng He and the others looked slightly stunned; it seemed like the live broadcast had already been cut off, expecting online friends to rescue them seemed unlikely, they could only hope that the production team would quickly send someone over to check what was going on.
Help! Thought to break into the elder circle, but ended up in a pyramid scheme, what to do…
Han Qianyi glared at Zheng He, regretting dearly for not listening to Chen Xixi’s words, knew they should not have come!
She just wanted to score a free bag of noodles, not to leave her last fifteen yuan here!
That was her lifeline!
Aside from the man lecturing, there were several other burly men in the room, looking menacing just by their presence.
And now, the man had turned his attention to the guests who had no intention of buying products.
The man’s gaze swept over Zheng He: “You really have no money on you?”
Zheng He felt like the man was about to search them at any moment.
Even after waiting for the staff from the production team, this would take time.
At least in these next ten or so minutes, he didn’t want to be forcibly searched.
Neither did Jin Cheng.
Because they really did have money, although not much on each person, together they could scrape together one thousand yuan to buy a course of elderly health products to take back to their dormitory.
Jin Cheng realizing the situation, showed an interested expression and spoke up, “I think your product is really excellent, how does one go about joining the franchise?”
“You want to join?” The man looked at Jin Cheng incredulously, as if looking at a chosen fool.
Jin Cheng crossed his long legs, his arms folded across his chest, his tone light: “To tell you the truth, my Uncle has some idle money ready for investment, not sure what to invest in, I think your project is quite excellent, I’ll mention it to him, he will definitely agree!”
If it were anyone else saying this, the credibility might not be high.
But Jin Cheng was different, his tone and relaxed demeanor didn’t come across as someone from an ordinary household; he had the air of a young master.
The man perked up, sensing an opportunity, but also feared that the other was fishing, so he asked, “What does your family do?”
Jin Cheng casually responded, “Self-employed, a bit of small money.”
“How much money does your Uncle have in hand?”
“Over fifty thousand,” Jin Cheng didn’t dare say too much, afraid of scaring them, and also worried they wouldn’t believe him.
The amount matched their imagination of someone with a bit of money.
The man scoffed, looking at Jin Cheng half in disbelief, “Really?”
As the man’s attention shifted to Jin Cheng, Zheng He sighed in relief, he was almost searched!
Zheng He looked around and suddenly, his peripheral vision caught something as it stopped on a spot.
He was sitting right next to a window, probably because of the high floor and the presence of a railing, they were not afraid of someone escaping through the window, so the window was opened a bit for air.
He suddenly remembered the last time Jin Cheng had fainted from hunger, the production team chose to stand by, this time he didn’t know if the production team would rush to their aid…
In case, in the end, they had to rely on themselves, they couldn’t escape the fate of being searched.
Zheng He hesitated for two seconds, gritted his teeth, and pulled out a note of the smallest denomination from his pocket.
Then, biting his finger in pain, he scribbled a bloodied ‘SOS’ on it.
Originally, he wanted to write ‘help’, but afraid there wouldn’t be enough blood, he instead simplified it to ‘SOS’.
He looked around, and seeing that no one was paying attention, he threw the money out the window.
…
Downstairs, Chen Xixi was looking for the lecture hall Zheng He had mentioned the day before, when suddenly, a piece of paper fell from the sky.
She was about to complain about someone littering from such a height, but on second glance, it was actually a note!!
