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

Chapter 59: Chapter 56 Free Fish Pond! Chapter 59: Chapter 56 Free Fish Pond! She gradually tightened her grip on Zheng He’s collar, and Zheng He, suddenly remembering the kicks from before, fearfully stepped back.
He didn’t step back because he thought he couldn’t beat Chen Xixi, a young lady, but because he hadn’t stooped low enough to hit a woman.
Zheng He: “In the end, you still have issues with me, right? I now reasonably suspect that you arranged this black car specifically to target me!”
Chen Xixi calmly responded: “Can you have a bit of shame? You got into the car by yourself, and seriously, with your intelligence, I don’t need to waste my time and money on targeting you. You screwed up all by yourself.”
Zheng He instantly bristled, shouting loudly: “What do you mean?!”
You can insult his integrity, but never his intelligence!
Chen Xixi scoffed coldly: “Can’t you understand? As expected, your IQ really isn’t up to par if you can’t even understand this.”
[Chen Xixi is really hitting where it hurts!]
[Zheng He’s intelligence is indeed a bit worrisome. He should always be supervised by adults when going out!]
[Why does Zheng He always pick on Chen Xixi!]
[To be honest, if I were in this program, I would have to target Chen Xixi too. After all, she has so much money, and the winning prize is five million, five million! That’s an untouchable amount for ordinary people!]
Finally, Qian Yue stepped in and pulled the two apart who were about to start fighting.
Meanwhile, the chief director’s voice came through Qian Yue’s earpiece and after listening, he said, “It’s getting dark, and we definitely won’t have time for another round. The director suggests an additional Diligence Reward, selecting one from the remaining four guests to award five yuan.”
The chief director thought it was pitiful for Zheng He and others, so they decided to choose one of the four who worked the hardest to give five yuan.
Of course, that’s not the most important reason.
The main reason is because Chen Xixi had too much money, and they needed to give the other guests a chance to balance out Chen Xixi.
Last time, during the betting race, the chief director originally wanted to punish Chen Xixi and clear her funds to make the show more dramatic. Unexpectedly, Chen Xixi didn’t fall for it, and it ended up clearing the funds of the other four guests.
Zheng He straightened his crumpled collar which had been tugged by Chen Xixi, and looked at Chen Xixi somewhat smugly: “That’s more like it!”
Chen Xixi sneered, the villain triumphing.
Jin Cheng also couldn’t stand Zheng He continuously bothering Chen Xixi, especially since Chen Xixi was the only one who was kind to him in this program, the person he intended to protect.
Jin Cheng retorted: “What are you proud of? The Diligence Reward has nothing to do with you.”
Zheng He was too busy stopping Chen Xixi and hadn’t actually done any work.
Yet Zheng He still wore a smug, self-satisfied smile.
Although he didn’t do anything, Han Qianyi did, and this round he had just formed an alliance with Han Qianyi.
As long as Han Qianyi got the five yuan, he would have three yuan!
Ten minutes later, the program team found the most diligent child through the accelerated playback content.
Qian Yue announced with a smile: “The most diligent guest in this competition is Han Qianyi!”
Wan Chen paused while removing his gloves, looking up at Qian Yue, puzzled, “Jin Cheng and I lifted more weight than her.”
Qian Yue patiently explained: “It’s true that you two collected more than Han Qianyi, but you were only focused on speed, working rashly. Many times your picking techniques didn’t meet the orchard manager’s requirements. In contrast, Han Qianyi did very well and took her work seriously. Diligence isn’t just about quantity; it’s also about the quality of the work.”
On winning a reward for the first time, Han Qianyi’s joy was uncontrollable.
After participating in the program for so long, she had finally received a reward!
She finally had money!!
[Han Qianyi did great, and finally got a reward!]
[I think she still has the potential to get first place.]
[I also have this feeling; who knows, maybe she’ll be the dark horse of the program and might even take down Chen Xixi in the end!]
[Why does Han Qianyi’s expression on winning five yuan look like she just won five million…]
[Hahaha! That’s because she had no money in her pocket, now five yuan feels like a huge fortune to her!]
Back in the village, Zheng He stopped Han Qianyi at an intersection.
Han Qianyi puzzled: “What’s up?”
Zheng He stretched out his hand towards her and whispered, “Money.”
“What money?”
“Not a deal that you pay me five yuan, and I get two while you take three?” Zheng He reminded, then his expression darkened slightly: “You’re not thinking of going back on your word, are you?”
“Weren’t we supposed to hold back Chen Xixi and then you’d get five yuan, and it would be two for me, three for you? But you didn’t manage to hold back Chen Xixi at all. This five yuan I earned myself through hard work, and it has nothing to do with you!”
Han Qianyi, for the sake of five yuan, pushed herself to the point that her arms are still sore and can barely be lifted.
Zheng He wanting to split her earnings for nothing? No way!
Zheng He sneered, “If I hadn’t given up the opportunity to block Chen Xixi for our win, the diligence prize should have been mine! And now you take the money and ignore me?”
Han Qianyi: “Don’t be so absolute. With your intelligence, winning seems quite unlikely.”
If there was more money, she naturally wouldn’t miss the opportunity to sell Zheng He out.
After all, she knows the saying enemy’s enemy is a friend.
They both have a common opponent, and that’s Chen Xixi.
She wants the popularity vote, but right now Chen Xixi is number one in popularity.
Zheng He wants the five million prize money, but the budget-saving champion is still Chen Xixi.
But right now, all she has is five yuan, just scraping by meal to meal. What could she use to last till the end of the show?
So, she must protect this five yuan at all costs!
After saying this, Han Qianyi immediately left, not wanting to waste any more time on Zheng He.
Zheng He watched Han Qianyi walk away, cursing fiercely.
This Han Qianyi dares to trick him, he must make her pay the price!
And that Chen Xixi, he won’t let her off either!
Just as he thought this, his stomach rebelliously began to growl.
After all the hassle in the afternoon, it was time to be hungry.
Not just Zheng He, the other Guests were also hungry.
But with no electricity, no water, no money, solving dinner was a big problem.
Wan Chen was still fine, he had some instant noodles leftover from a bulk purchase he could eat dry, while Jin Cheng silently tightened his belt…
Jin Cheng has never been so tempted by instant noodles before; he used to only pick the best parts of his food and throw away the rest.
Now he thought, even the most simple dish could probably taste incredibly delicious to him!
The days without money were really unbearable. How long could this last, Young Master Jin felt he might not survive.
Suddenly, he felt like making a distress call to his Uncle, asking him to come and help him.
Elsewhere.
After returning, Chen Xixi took out the leftovers from lunch and ate them.
It’s too late now, she wasn’t prepared, so she had to make do.
Besides, her phone was about to die as well, it seems she wouldn’t be able to get instant updates from free channels anymore.
But she won’t just sit back and wait.
Day thirteen of the live broadcast.
Early in the morning, Chen Xixi visited the local store and gathered information at the village entrance.
Meanwhile, the other four Guests woke up hungry early and lay in their beds worrying about breakfast.
“They are still worrying about what to eat for breakfast, whereas Chen Xixi has already started fishing by the pond. That’s the difference!”
“Fishing? Does she have fishing gear?”
“The owner provided the gear for free.”
“Why?”
“There’s a fish pond nearby holding a drain-the-pond event, making it free to fish and providing the gear for free for returning customers!”
“There can’t be many fish left in that pond; Chen Xixi surely won’t catch any!”
“Wow! Nice! She’s managing to freeload again!”
