Suddenly, five hot search entries about “Money Saving Battle” dominated the internet.
Even though only one of them was positive,
It did not stop the show’s popularity from soaring.
[What is this bizarre variety show with the guests pulling so many stunts? I’ve got to check it out!]
[Isn’t this the show I signed up for but wasn’t selected to participate in? It’s already aired! Now I really have to see who bumped me off the list!]
[These guests are too good-looking, are they sure they’re not professional actors?]
[Hahaha! Am I seeing this right? They’re actually begging? I have to watch this!]
At the filming site.
Han Qianyi, who had just walked out of Nanxing Entertainment, hesitated, “Is this against the rules?”
If we don’t get any food by begging and get kicked out of the show, it’d be a loss for sure.
Zheng He, walking in the front, turned around to glance at Han Qianyi, “The production team said we can’t borrow money or get acquaintances to treat us, but they didn’t say we can’t beg.”
Han Qianyi couldn’t help feeling uneasy, “Should we ask Chen Xixi to join us then?”
Following Zheng He always felt like there was danger looming.
Probably an aftereffect from joining a pyramid scheme that morning.
Zheng He, looking unhappy, said, “Why call her? She’s so rich, not at all on our level. Could she even stoop to join us? She might even mock us for it!”
Han Qianyi: “But maybe she has a way to get us a free dinner?”
It would be better than begging with Zheng He… After all, she was too embarrassed to beg, but she was really hungry, and truly penniless.
Zheng He retorted irritably, “If you want to be tricked by her like me, then go find her. I won’t be looking for her again!”
Considering what Zheng He was like, they thought it was more likely that he initiated trouble with Chen Xixi and ended up getting tricked by her.
But this also meant that whoever tried to take advantage of Chen Xixi wouldn’t end well.
Since Chen Xixi wasn’t an easy target, perhaps… they should trust Zheng He one more time?
After all, they were too hungry to walk back!
After walking a bit further, Zheng He looked back and cautioned them: “Don’t you dare tell Chen Xixi about this method, otherwise if she comes and competes with us for our bread and butter, that wouldn’t be good.”
[I’m dying laughing, the whole internet knows you guys are begging, does Chen Xixi even need to be told, hahaha!]
[Chen Xixi: I don’t need to compete for this bread and butter…]
[This is outrageous! They aren’t really going to do this, right?]
[What’s so outrageous about it? Think about it, if you had no money in your pockets, weren’t allowed to work, borrow money, or ask for help from friends and family, you’d have to beg too.]
[True, this method of getting food might not be respectable, but it’s reasonable given their situation.]
The four of them arrived at the night market beside a pedestrian overpass, where Zheng He saw a raggedly dressed man sitting on the ground begging. He walked straight over.
Han Qianyi, following Zheng He, let down all her tied-up hair, then pawed at it around her face, trying to use the hair to cover her features.
She had aspirations to be a big star, and it would be too embarrassing if someone dug this up in the future. So, she had to do her best to hide her face and reduce her presence to the minimum.
The beggar sitting on the ground, seeing four people who looked decent heading straight for him, thought they were going to give him money. He quickly bared his teeth in a smile and started his pitch: “Thank you, thank you…”
However, the next second, the begging man saw the man who was leading the group squat in front of him and ask, “What time are you going home?”
“???” The begging man was completely puzzled.
“It’s like this, we’re out here… hustling too.” Zheng He really couldn’t bring himself to say the words “begging for food” so smoothly every time, he lowered his eyes, stared at the iron bowl in front of the begging man, and continued with a smile, “Brother, can we borrow your bowl for a while?”
Begging, how can it be done without the professional tools?
The begging man: “!!!” I thought you guys were here to give me Money, but you’re actually here to steal my iron rice bowl!!
The begging man shot them a disdainful look, grabbed his bowl, and walked away immediately, cursing as he left, “Are these people sick or something”!
“…” Zheng He, whose attempt to borrow the bowl had failed, looked at the spot that had cleared and said, “Good thing he left, we’ll start our work right here…”
As Zheng He was speaking, he turned around, only to find that the three people who were following him were now all standing with their backs to him, posing as if they didn’t know ‘this guy.’
Zheng He: “…”
Zheng He understood they couldn’t overcome the embarrassment, and he said profoundly, “You don’t have to feel ashamed, let me tell you, begging can actually make it very easy to get money! Once we have some money in our hands, we won’t have to go home hungry, and if things go well, we have a very good chance of surpassing Chen Xixi’s assets!”
Whether we surpass Chen Xixi or not isn’t important; what’s important is they want to save face!
Wan Chen turned around, paused for a moment before saying, “If it’s such a money-maker, why are you dragging us into it? Don’t tell me you just want us to win together.”
Considering Zheng He could pull them into a pyramid scheme for just forty eggs, they didn’t believe Zheng He had such good intentions.
Zheng He earnestly replied, “I just don’t want Chen Xixi to win!”
Han Qianyi turned her head to look at Zheng He, “Tell the truth.”
“…” Zheng He touched the tip of his nose, his eyes revealing a hint of embarrassment, “I’m just too embarrassed to do it alone, afraid of losing face. I figured if we all go together, I would feel a bit better…”
The other three: “…” Thanks a lot!
Misery loves company, and together they’d face the music.
Did they offend the heavens in their past lives? To end up as guests on a show with Zheng He in this life!
However… since they were already there, if they managed to beg for money, they wouldn’t have to go home hungry.
Wan Chen spoke with little optimism, “We’re all young and able-bodied, why would anyone give us money?”
Zheng He: “If you retract two out of your four limbs, wouldn’t that solve the problem?”
“…” Isn’t that just scamming people?
After saying that, Zheng He also felt that it might not be appropriate; it would be fine to make a bit of money normally, but now that they were live streaming, his actions would be criticized as unethical.
Zheng He then continued to speak, “I’m just joking. We could lie here and sleep, and others would think we are homeless tramps and naturally give us money. If you don’t want to lie down, kneeling is also fine.”
Kneeling was out of the question.
Then lying down it would be.
Zheng He was the first to lie down, followed by Wan Chen, Jin Cheng, and Han Qianyi who stood by the side struggling internally for quite some time before lying down next to Zheng He.
[Family, it’s my first time experiencing the perspective of begging, what should I do, how can I relieve my anxiety!]
[My God, can they really beg for money like this?]
[No joke, the four of them do lie down in a very orderly way…]
[Hahaha, and if things go well, doesn’t it sound like Zheng He wants to glorify the ancestors by making a fortune in this field!]
[I knew Zheng He definitely didn’t share a good idea out of the goodness of his heart!]
[How is Zheng He so familiar with the process of begging? Has he done it before?]
[They’re still lying there while Chen Xixi has already started to eat!]
[Where is she eating???]
[If only they had followed Chen Xixi! Why suffer like this!]
