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

Chen Xixi suddenly looked up and saw Zhou Jinyuan close by. She clapped her hands together and quickly smiled as she spoke, “I knew it! I’ve always known this name, but I was just afraid of saying it wrong, so I didn’t dare say it.”
Zhou Jinyuan: “…”
In this paragraph, Zhou Jinyuan didn’t believe a single punctuation mark of what Chen Xixi said.
[Hahaha Chen Xixi’s will to survive is strong!!]
[This is their program’s biggest sponsor, how could Chen Xixi’s survival instincts not be strong? Hahahaha!]
[Not sure if it’s just me, but I feel like President Zhou is giving Chen Xixi some special treatment?]
[Really? Maybe it’s just a coincidence and he felt like talking? Besides, President Zhou doesn’t seem to have been taking special care of Chen Xixi right? She made it through all by her own strength!]
[I feel like there’s something ambiguous between them? Any shipping experts help me see, is this shippable?]
Jin Cheng had just managed his area when he looked up to see if Chen Xixi needed any help, only to spot his Uncle walking together with Chen Xixi!
His Uncle moved him so much, still remembering to take care of Chen Xixi for him, it seems like he doesn’t need to worry about her for now.
At seven o’clock in the evening, the concert started on time, brilliant fireworks lit up the night sky, and the stage’s unique, exaggerated, and aesthetically stunning design created an overwhelming atmosphere for the audience.
It obviously cost a lot of money.
Amidst the excited screams of the fans, a man dressed in a white shirt and black pants appeared at the center of the stage, and his pleasing voice came through the speakers.
[Aaaaah! As expected of Jiang Xingze! His voice is really nice!]
[Xingze, pause your concert! Ye Hena Ying needs you right now!]
[It’s my first time watching a concert from the front rows, all thanks to Chen Xixi’s luck!]
[Jiang Xingze Studio is also live streaming, you can go watch there! That angle is even better than Chen Xixi’s, it’s drone footage, you can see 360 degrees!]
[No, then I won’t be able to see Chen Xixi!]
The opening song was one Jiang Xingze wrote three years ago, a fairly classic song that’s still very popular, and practically everyone in the venue knew the lyrics.
Sitting in the front row, Chen Xixi couldn’t help but hum along, and sharp-eared netizens in the livestream heard it.
[Chen Xixi’s dance moves are so ugly, but I didn’t expect her singing to be quite good? This really surprised me!]
[Ye Hena Ying: Chen Xixi, pause watching the concert and come here!]
[Ye Hena Ying: President Zhou, come over too! You can bring something to the style! And give the foreigners some pressure!]
[Above, are you guys drafting soldiers here?]
By the time more than half of the concert had passed, Zheng He, Han Qianyi, and Wan Chen finally arrived outside the stadium.
Unfortunately, the concert had already started, and at this moment, entry was forbidden to anyone.
No matter how Zheng He insisted that he was there to find someone, saying he had contacts inside, the security was unmoved.
Han Qianyi hung her head, speaking in a melancholic tone, “Did we come here for nothing? I also really want to watch the concert…”
She also really wanted to ride the popularity wave…
Today in Chen Xixi’s livestream, she had Jiang Xingze, but Han Qianyi didn’t, surely today’s popularity votes would again fall far short of Chen Xixi’s.
Zheng He sighed, “We are just a step too late.”
If they had found Chen Xixi before the concert started, they might have had a chance to mingle with her and sneak into the concert for free.
It’s just that the stadium is so far from the police station, they wasted all their time walking.
If only we had known, we could have taken a cab.
As Zheng He and Han Qianyi were feeling down, a man in his thirties walked up with a smile and asked in the local accent, “Wanna see the concert?”
Zheng He immediately became alert, his whole body tensed in precaution, and he scrutinized the man with utmost vigilance, coldly saying, “No money! Don’t try to scam me!”
Han Qianyi also glanced at the man, instantly identifying him as a scalper, and asked with a frown, “You still have tickets? Impossible, how could there be unsold tickets for Jiang Xingze’s concert?”
The scalper smiled and said, “I know a back way in, but… it’s not for free.”
Zheng He: “I already told you, no money! Stop trying to swindle me!”
The scalper eyed the three of them up and down, noting each person with a suitcase, yet not believing any of them could be penniless.
Besides, who comes to a concert without money?
The scalper persistently bargained, “I can get you in first, and then you pay!”
Han Qianyi was somewhat tempted, “How much?”
The scalper gestured with his hand, “Three hundred yuan per person.”
Upon hearing the price, Zheng He immediately bristled, “Three hundred?! That’s so expensive! Why don’t you just rob someone!”
Scalper: “Three hundred is expensive? Do you know how much the cheapest field ticket costs? 588 yuan! If these weren’t standing-room tickets, do you think I’d offer you such a deal?”
Compared to the concert pricing, three hundred yuan was indeed a fair price, but Zheng He and the others, accustomed to scrimping, struggled to accept such a large expense after not spending much for a long time.
[Hahaha, it’s my first time hearing about standing-room tickets at a concert!]
[Isn’t this another scammer? Every time I see Zheng He’s livestream, I’m scared for him and instinctively worry.]
[Don’t worry! This time I’m ready to dial 110 and call the police at any moment! If things go south, we’ll call the police for Zheng He! Whether we help Zheng He isn’t the point, the main thing is to catch the scammer!]
[Zheng He: Guys above, am I really that unimportant?]
For the sake of entering and gaining popularity, Han Qianyi gritted her teeth and asked, “Can it be cheaper?”
Zheng He quickly interrupted Han Qianyi: “Aren’t you afraid he’s a scammer?”
Han Qianyi whispered, “It’s pay on delivery, what’s there to fear? We just don’t pay if we don’t get to the venue.”
After bargaining, they settled on a price of two hundred and forty yuan per person.
Wan Chen looked at Han Qianyi and Zheng He and said, “I’m not going. You guys can go if you want.”
Han Qianyi thought that was perfect, she pushed her suitcase forward a bit and smiled softly, “Then can you watch my suitcase for me? It’s really troublesome to carry it around.”
Wan Chen hesitated before agreeing, “Alright, then hurry up.”
Zheng He also handed his suitcase to Wan Chen, and while looking at Han Qianyi said, “Don’t forget to pay for me.”
Han Qianyi frowned slightly, “Why? You don’t have to go.”
Zheng He glanced at the scalper then whispered to Han Qianyi, scaring her, “He’s a man leading a woman through the back, and you don’t know him. Aren’t you scared? I’m a man, if I’m there, at least he won’t dare do anything to you. I’m protecting you!”
Han Qianyi, originally only focused on gaining popularity, hadn’t considered much else, but upon Zheng He’s reminder, she realized he made a lot of sense.
She, the future Oscar-winning actress, absolutely could not afford an incident before her debut!
[Zheng He, just don’t go! Zheng He, the man who seems to bring bad luck wherever he goes, going there is even scarier, alright!]
