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

The hot spring inn was instantly packed today thanks to the free advertisement by Chen Xixi and Jin Cheng.
The owner of the hot spring inn was taken aback by the results he saw today.
How can a little nobody generate such huge traffic?
Is this Money Saving Battle show really that popular?
The manager of the hot spring inn seized the moment to call the owner: “Boss, seeing the great effect from Chen Xixi and Jin Cheng’s advertisement, would you consider letting them stay for a long time and also arrange free lunches and dinners for them?”
Their hot spring inn only provides breakfast, and Chen Xixi and Jin Cheng went out to scrounge for food tastings during the day. The manager felt sorry for them and wanted to fight for some benefits for Chen Xixi and Jin Cheng.
She thought that the promotion by Chen Xixi and Jin Cheng should not receive so little; even if Chen Xixi does not want money, their boss should compensate them from elsewhere.
After pondering for a long time, the boss said: “Let them stay for now. As for lunch and dinner… haven’t they not mentioned it? If they didn’t say anything, neither should you. These nobodies won’t be popular for long; there’s no need to take them too seriously. Besides, it’s the summer travel season now, and it’s hard to tell how much of the results are due to their promotion. Just leave it for now.”
Right after the boss finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something and added: “Right, swap their room out. When did I say to arrange a deluxe room for them? It’s the deluxe rooms that make us money right now. You arranged two of them at once, and now we don’t have rooms for other customers, do you realize that? What kind of manager are you? Just give them a standard room for free, how could you arrange a deluxe one!”
After hearing what the boss said, Manager Li couldn’t help but sneer inwardly. If it wasn’t for this month’s bonus, she really would want to retort, ‘Why don’t you sign up for Money Saving Battle next time?’.
Managing such a large hot spring inn and being so miserly!
How can he still be a boss? Short-sighted, with no vision at all, it’s bound to fail one day!
After mentally complaining about the boss, the scolded worker, Manager Li, still had to follow orders.
Luckily, Chen Xixi was easy to talk to. After a friendly conversation with Chen Xixi, she also expressed understanding and didn’t make it difficult for this worker, agreeing to give up the room.
Manager Li was moved beyond words.
However, Jin Cheng snorted coldly and asked Manager Li: “Who’s your boss? If I get the chance, I’d like to meet him.”
To provide free live streaming for their traffic, not upgrading their service is one thing, but to downgrade them to a standard room is outright bullying! Jin Cheng thought the guy was disgusting! Once he’s off the show, he’ll definitely have his Uncle fight for justice!
Chen Xixi didn’t stop him. Why would she if Jin Cheng has the ability to deal with this unreasonable owner?
She originally thought she’d encounter a good businessman, tacitly cooperating for mutual benefit, but the boss didn’t keep his promise of not mistreating them after seeing the promotional effect, instead treating them with utter disregard.
Indeed, this was somewhat annoying, but it wasn’t a reason for her to make life difficult for the working manager, Manager Li.
She’d move into an ordinary room first and then think of other strategies.
Moving into the ordinary room, Chen Xixi and Jin Cheng ended up waiting in the lobby for more than two hours, only moving in after other customers left and a room became available.
The ordinary room was simply decorated, much like a budget hotel, smaller space, average environment, a dozen rooms connected together, no yard, and the lighting wasn’t as good as the deluxe rooms with their large floor-to-ceiling windows, only having a small window to let air in.
Moving into such a room certainly felt like a bit of a letdown.
After all, without comparison, there is no harm…
[What’s going on? Why did Chen Xixi and Jin Cheng get kicked out to an ordinary room? Wasn’t their advertisement effective? What’s the owner doing? Too unreliable, right?]
[Exactly! It’s bad enough not to thank Chen Xixi and Jin Cheng, but to downgrade their accommodation? I can’t understand the actions of this hot spring owner. Folks, I’m uneducated, can someone tell me if the term ‘ingratitude’ fits this hot spring owner well?]
Although Chen Xixi didn’t say anything on the surface, the netizens were not blind or stupid; many started to feel the injustice for Chen Xixi and Jin Cheng, trying to persuade them to leave this unappreciative establishment. After all, with their popularity, any other place would surely treat them as treasured guests!
…
Zheng He, Han Qianyi, and Wan Chen hastened their steps, hoping to check into a luxury room like Chen Xixi’s and soak in the open-air hot springs in the yard as soon as possible.
[Perhaps Zheng He and the others aren’t aware that Chen Xixi and Jin Cheng have been downgraded to a lesser accommodation? If they go, does it mean they will also have to stay in a standard room?]
[I feel that if Zheng He knows, he’s definitely going to make a scene again, after all, he’s no ordinary person, he’s the Chosen One.]
[Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter. When can I ever see the ‘Zheng He is the Chosen One’ meme and not laugh!]
[Didn’t he just say that he wants to drive Chen Xixi out? That’s not very nice, is it?]
[What’s wrong with that? I’d love to see them fight over Money, that’s what proves the reality of the show! Otherwise, if everything is harmonious, don’t you think it’s all scripted and fake?]
[I used to suspect this show was scripted, but now I believe it isn’t because I doubt anyone would dare to follow a script and drag the police in every day to play along with these weirdos. So, I think this program must be truly unscripted!]
It was nearly ten o’clock at night when Zheng He and his party finally arrived at the hot spring guesthouse.
Upon entering, Zheng He informed Manager Li that they were with Chen Xixi’s group, and then added, “She can advertise for your lodge, so can we, but we have just one request: Drive out Chen Xixi and that guy with the surname Jin, and let the three of us check in instead—three for two.”
Manager Li: ??? What gibberish is this? Three for two, thirty of you can’t even match one Chen Xixi!
Zheng He smirked: “Three people live streaming will surely attract more traffic than just two, and my popularity is no less than Chen Xixi’s right now.”
Indeed, his popularity was not low because everyone was eager to see when the next scammer would appear and what kind of trap he would fall into next…
Watching him for amusement didn’t mean the netizens would spend money on him.
But the boss, who hadn’t watched the show and didn’t know better, agreed to the proposal when Manager Li reluctantly reported the situation over the phone with a forced smile, in an effort to save his monthly bonus. “Boss, he’s no good! His popularity has issues, it could negatively impact our lodge!”
The boss laughed it off unconcernedly: “Notoriety is also traffic, and three for two works for us, go arrange it!”
Manager Li gazed at the disconnected call, wishing he could crawl through the telephone line and strangle the stupid boss.
Ten minutes later, Chen Xixi and Jin Cheng were evicted as Zheng He had wished.
Having just gotten used to a standard room, yet evicted again, Jin Cheng stood at the entrance of the hot spring guesthouse, frowning and complaining, “Why has the boss suddenly turned against us? Is he nuts? Wasn’t the promotional effect we provided good enough? The rooms are fully booked; what more does he want?”
Chen Xixi sighed: “Forget it, are you going abroad tomorrow?”
“Yes, why?”
“I’m going to a concert tomorrow. I was thinking of booking a spot for you, but since you’re leaving the country, I’ll just go by myself.”
“Concert? You paid for the tickets? You didn’t buy seats in some corner where you can only see people’s heads, right?”
Chen Xixi curled her lips: “Front row in the inner field, with food included, and if I don’t go to this concert, it may not even start successfully.”
“!!!” Jin Cheng’s eyes widened in admiration, “Why didn’t you use your impressive connections earlier?!”
As Jin Cheng’s voice trailed off, a black business car suddenly stopped beside the two of them…
[Wow! Going to a concert and it’s front row, inner field! How wild is Chen Xixi’s connections?]
