Chen Xixi is endlessly blessed, whereas Zheng He is forever suffering, hahaha! It took so much effort for him to get some money, and in the end, he still has to live under a bridge, only to have his money swindled by a con artist. He finally found a place to stay, and before he even got to move in, he was kicked out! Looking at the current situation, it seems like Zheng He will have to spend another night under the bridge.
Zheng He looked at the security guard blocking him with fiery anger in his eyes, his face clouded with gloomy emotions: âIâve already said Iâm with Chen Xixi, why are you stopping us and not letting us in?!â
Security: âIâm sorry, sir, but as per our hotel policy, you cannot just walk into a guest room looking for someone without the guestâs permission.â
Zheng He wasnât really there to find Chen Xixi; he just wanted to use Chen Xixiâs name to stay for free.
Moreover, if Chen Xixi knew they had come, with her stingy nature, she would definitely not allow them in.
Zheng He frowned, âThen call your manager and tell him that we are the guests from âMoney Saving Battle.'â
According to Zheng Heâs understanding of Chen Xixiâs poor appearance, it was impossible for the owner to be within Chen Xixiâs network.
It must be that the owner knew they were filming and saw that they had no place to stay, so he kindly offered to help as a charity.
Rich people, after all, perform acts of charity to enhance their own reputation and image once they have a certain amount of money.
Since they could shelter Chen Xixi and Jin Cheng, they would surely be kind enough to accommodate them to the end.
Unable to get rid of Zheng He and his group, the security guard sought out Manager Zhang to report the situation. Manager Zhang came over directly and said in a businesslike tone: âOur owner said that only Chen Xixi was invited. If you wish to stay with her, you must have Chen Xixiâs consent.â
Zheng He, Han Qianyi, and Wan Chen were stunned: â???â
Consent from Chen Xixi is required?
Has this hotel become Chen Xixiâs property?
Zheng He couldnât accept it and shouted, âWhy do we need consent from Chen Xixi?â
Manager Zhang: âThis is what our owner said.â
Han Qianyi looked at Zheng He, then at Wan Chen, and said in a low voice, âSo what do we do now?â
Chen Xixi gets to stay in a five-star hotel for free, how could they willingly look for another place to spend money, but without spending, it seems that under the bridge is the only choiceâ¦
Suddenly Wan Chen turned to Zheng He and said, âWhy donât you swallow your pride and talk to Chen Xixi?â
Wan Chen kind of wanted to stay in a five-star hotel, but with just over two thousand in his pocket, if he were to use it for a five-star hotel, he probably couldnât afford more than three nights.
Moreover, if thereâs a better place to stay, who would want to stay somewhere inferior.
Han Qianyi also really wanted to stay in a five-star hotel; after all, she had never stayed in such a luxury hotel her whole life, and she was filled with longing.
So she also looked at Zheng He and spoke softly, âTalk to Chen Xixi, I think she is so kind-hearted, she will definitely agree to let us stay, she wouldnât have the heart to see us sleep on the streets.â
Han Qianyi deliberately emphasized Chen Xixiâs kindness and reluctance to let them sleep on the streets.
If Chen Xixi rejected them, she believed that online viewers would definitely think of Chen Xixi as too cold-hearted and ruthless, and Chen Xixiâs popularity would plummet, naturally boosting her own popularity!
Zheng He didnât have much money in his pocket, and if he had to find a place to stay tonight, heâd have to start live-streaming and beg for money first.
But why would he spend money when there was a free place to stay?
And especially a five-star hotel at that.
But to bow down to Chen Xixi⦠he didnât want to.
If it were anyone else, he might have hesitated.
Chen Xixi⦠Heh! He had declared an unyielding feud against Chen Xixi! He would rather die than give in!
Zheng He raised his hand, pointed down the street with a rather imposing manner, and said with steely determination: âI, Zheng He! Even if it means sleeping on the streets today! Lying in a pile of trash! I canât possibly bow down to Chen Xixi! Not a bit!â
Wan Chen, who just wanted a decent place to stay, nodded speechlessly: âFine, youâve got spirit. I respect that.â
Five minutes later.
Zheng He held his phone to his ear, grinning from ear to ear, and spoke in an incredibly flattering tone: âXixi, are you asleep?â
On the other end of the phone, Chen Xixi, who was just about to fall asleep on her luxurious bed, felt her hair stand on end.
She glanced at the phone number which was unfamiliar, but the manâs voice was somewhat recognizable because it sounded mildly sleazyâit made her want to smack him.
She shook off the goosebumps on her skin and tentatively asked, âYouâ¦are Zheng He?â
âAiyo, you recognized my voice haha, yes, itâs me! Did I interrupt your rest?â
Chen Xixi was dumbfounded. She checked the phone again to make sure she wasnât asleep, dreaming, or hallucinating.
Had Zheng He gone mad?
Otherwise, why would he speak to her like this?
Chen Xixi asked bluntly, âAre you being threatened by someone? Or did the whole âChosen Oneâ thing get to you?â
Zheng He chuckled haughtily, speaking quite amicably: âNope, itâs just that we heard youâre staying at Taihua Hotel now, and we were thinking of moving in too. Could you see if you could let us stay with you?â
Five minutes before, right after refusing to bow down to Chen Xixi, Zheng He started live streaming to ask for money.
He figured once he got the money, he could stay wherever he wanted, but there was no way he would suck up to Chen Xixi!
As it turned out⦠he opened his live stream and played pitiful for five minutes, asked for money for another five, but the people sending gifts were few and far between.
People might have sympathized with him the first time he begged during a stream, but the second and third times? Netizens naturally werenât going to open their wallets to satisfy such a greedy person.
Moreover, it would be a waste to give money as it would eventually just end up with scammers.
Zheng He, having not obtained much money, was forced to face reality.
If he didnât bow down to Chen Xixi, heâd have to sleep under a bridge as a mosquito feast again tonight.
Chen Xixi chuckled, as though sheâd heard some hilarious joke, then said nonchalantly, âWasnât it you guys who drove me out?â
Just moments ago while browsing on her phone, she came across the hot spring B&B cancellations, and from the comments on the cancellation, she learned the reason why she was driven out by the B&B owner.
âIt wasnât me who drove you out, I was just joking around, and I didnât expect the owner would actually agree. Plus, heâs like a nutcase, he even threw us out too. I think he probably wanted to get rid of you a long time ago; itâs not my fault. He just didnât want to let us stay for free!â Zheng He immediately tossed the blame onto that idiotic owner.
Chen Xixi drew out her âOhâ melodically.
âAnd now, weâre in a situation where we have nowhere to stay. We heard youâre at Taihua Hotel and that you were personally invited over by the owner himself. Since youâre so capable, why not help us get set up there too? Otherwise, weâll end up sleeping on the streets. Weâre all guests from the same program; surely you canât bear to see us wander the streets, right?â As Zheng He spoke, he thickened his skin and started playing the sympathy card.
Heâd never begged Chen Xixi so humbly before.
Heâd already humbled himself this much, if Chen Xixi still refused to lend him a hand, that would be way too harsh, wow!
[Wow! Has âMoney Saving Battleâ reached a centuryâs grand reconciliation?]
[LMAO! How come Zheng Heâs face-slapping always comes so fast haha!]
Chen Xixi sneered, âIâm someone who can coldly watch others go hungry and even take advantage of their misfortune, so I have no morals, donât moral bind me.â
