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

Han Qianyi had just entered the room and finished packing her suitcase when she felt a bit hungry, so she thought of getting something to eat.
She was very surprised to find Zheng He lying on the sofa when she came out.
She hadn’t expected Zheng He to snatch something from Chen Xixi’s hands; she really underestimated Zheng He.
Sleeping on the sofa, although it indeed saves a lot of accommodation expenses, she is a future Oscar-winning actress, how can she sleep on a sofa?
That was totally beneath her dignity!
Besides, she had enough money on her now, completely able to sustain her survival until the last day of the program.
Chen Xixi had also changed her fate, as long as she listened to Chen Xixi and did as Chen Xixi said, she would definitely be able to turn the situation around!
So she absolutely didn’t need to sleep on the sofa!
At this moment, Han Qianyi’s confidence returned like it was the first day of the program recording; everything was within her grasp!
But…
The word “hotpot” was too tempting for them now.
They hadn’t eaten hotpot for several days.
She really wanted to eat hotpot.
Han Qianyi couldn’t help but swallow her saliva.
Wan Chen and Zheng He glanced at each other, also feeling desperately craved.
Han Qianyi’s gaze shifted between Wan Chen and Zheng He and she asked quietly, “Shall we still go?”
Zheng He, who had fallen in front of Chen Xixi several times, was silent.
Why follow again, to have their faces smashed by Chen Xixi?
He had grown now. He was no longer the impulsive and reckless Zheng He. He wanted to be a smart person!
He didn’t want to give netizens another chance to ridicule him; this time, he wanted to show off his super high IQ and let netizens see his excellence!
Zheng He thought for a moment and asked, “Where did she eat?”
Wan Chen: “Sanliujiu Hotpot Restaurant, but I looked it up online and this restaurant does not have any free activities.”
Wan Chen had just been browsing his phone when the official site pushed Chen Xixi’s live broadcast to him, and by then Chen Xixi was already eating hotpot in the restaurant; he hadn’t seen how she got in.
Then he checked the restaurant and found there were no promotions.
Zheng He sat on the sofa, took out his phone to search for Chen Xixi’s live broadcast, clicking in while swallowing saliva, “Ha! It seems she’s too craving to resist, so she went to eat at her own expense.”
Han Qianyi and Wan Chen also leaned over to take a look.
On the screen of Zheng He’s phone.
Chen Xixi was holding chopsticks and picked up a piece of tender and bouncy tripe from the steaming hot copper pot, with soup from the red broth trickling down the tripe. Chen Xixi then dipped the tripe, soaked with delicious soup, into the sauce dish filled with scallions and other seasonings.
The tripe, wrapped with rich sauce and scallions, was slowly put into her mouth, she exhaled two breaths of hot air, and a delightful smile appeared on her face.
Through the screen, it almost felt like one could feel how blissful Chen Xixi was at that moment.
However, the joys and sorrows of the world are not the same.
Almost simultaneously, the stomachs of Zheng He, Han Qianyi, and Wan Chen made a gurgling noise.
“…”
The group looked at each other and swallowed a few more times.
[Hahaha, I died laughing! Chen Xixi is having hotpot in the restaurant, and the three of them are watching the live stream, their stomachs rumbling with envy. Are they really on the same reality show?]
[From what I observe, I think Chen Xixi is on “No Coin Spent Enjoying Life Reality Show”, Zheng He is on “Today’s Legal Affairs”, Han Qianyi is on “Han’s Generous Funding Reality Show”, Jin Cheng is on “Young Master Transformation”, and Wan Chen is on “Me and My Strange Guests”.]
[Help! Hahahaha! Five people, five different reality show vibes!]
[Zheng He has started fighting with Chen Xixi over the sofa, right? What will Chen Xixi do when she comes back? She’ll definitely have to spend money to rent a room, right?]
Zheng He left Chen Xixi’s live stream: “Don’t all look at me, if you want to go eat, just go.”
It would be better if they all went to eat, then their money would keep decreasing, and only his would increase!
Anyway, he’s not going, he wouldn’t possibly spend so much money on a meal…emmm…he could actually go with Han Qianyi, with Great Han there, he wouldn’t need to pay himself.
Who says only Chen Xixi is smart and can freeload, obviously he’s also smart and good at freeloading, right?
He’s already freeloaded so many meals from Han Qianyi. How come netizens haven’t seen his cleverness, only noticing Chen Xixi’s intelligence? He’s beginning to suspect those fans supporting Chen Xixi are bought bots by her.
But it looks like Chen Xixi doesn’t even have the money to buy bots.
Wan Chen and Han Qianyi are indeed tempted watching Chen Xixi eat hotpot, but there are still nine days left till the end, who knows what tricky ideas the production team might come up with next, making their funds reset to zero, or introducing some new charges.
After all, the production team has done such things before.
Wan Chen and Han Qianyi don’t want to be penniless again, and having a meal of hotpot isn’t cheap. They currently only have two thousand yuan, which needs to cover upcoming rent and other potential unexpected expenses.
Better to be thrifty.
Wan Chen and Han Qianyi consoled themselves with this mental preparation.
It’s just one meal of hotpot, endure it for now, after the show they’ll have plenty of chances to eat whatever they want.
Eventually, Han Qianyi ordered the most economical single serving of spicy hotpot from a takeout app, costing twenty-five yuan.
Spicy hotpot also had soup and vegetables; it was like she had eaten hotpot.
At that moment, Zheng He’s voice came from behind her: “Ordering spicy hotpot, huh? Order some more, I’ll order the main dish; how does it sound? Otherwise, we might not be full.”
Han Qianyi: “I’ve already placed my order.”
“It’s okay, you can cancel!”
“Why don’t you spend your own money? Let’s just order and eat separately.” Han Qianyi did not agree with Zheng He this time.
Because recently she saw some online comments about her, almost all talking about her spending money on Zheng He, which was quite discomforting to watch.
She also reflected deeply last night; she feels she can’t keep going on this generous path. While there’s still a chance, she must make netizens like her, so they’ll vote for her.
Zheng He watched as Han Qianyi walked away, a puzzled expression on his face. What’s with Han Qianyi? Why is she acting all weird again?
Wan Chen doesn’t want to eat instant noodles again so soon; he ordered a meal set from the takeout app, spending twenty-eight yuan.
Zheng He didn’t get to freeload from Han Qianyi, so he turned his attention to Wan Chen.
But Wan Chen didn’t even look at him and went straight back to his room.
Zheng He: “…” What’s with everyone? The show is almost over; how come it feels like everyone has started growing brains?
His little team seems to be rebelling.
[My goodness! It’s not easy, I finally saw Han Qianyi refuse Zheng He!!]
[Is this really the same Han Qianyi as before? How come she suddenly stopped paying for Zheng He’s livelihood?]
[She suddenly stopped supporting Zheng He, and I’m not even used to it yet.]
Zheng He watched their figures, sneering: “Since you won’t let me freeload, don’t even think about freeloading from me in the future!”
