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

[Hahaha, their outfits really caught me by surprise! I knew Chen Xixi would never let us down!]
[President Zhou is so strong, carrying both a big and a small one. That’s a lot of security!]
[Chen Xixi’s waist is so slender, it looks like President Zhou’s arm isn’t strained at all holding her up.]
[Ahhh! Chen Xixi is actually carrying President Zhou! If I don’t start shipping them now, it would be rude!]
[It’s like looking at a family of three! And such a high-value family too!]
[It’s just that Jin Cheng seems a bit redundant hahaha!]
Standing at the starting line, Jin Cheng, after watching this scene, finally understood why his Uncle was the core strength.
He probably really couldn’t take on this core role.
He’ll have to wait until he gets home and beefs up first!
But… looking at the scene in front of him, why does he suddenly feel a bit redundant himself?
Once they reached the finish line, Chen Xixi quickly let go, and Zhou Jinyuan smoothly placed her and Lu Ziqi down on the ground.
Lu Ziqi cheered joyfully: “Sister Xixi, we won again!”
Chen Xixi bent down and high-fived Lu Ziqi, “Yeah! We won again!”
Zhou Jinyuan, looking at the cheerful and harmonious atmosphere between the big and the little one, couldn’t help but lift a corner of his lips into a smile.
Chen Xixi then looked up at Zhou Jinyuan, and turning her gaze back to Lu Ziqi, she said with a laugh: “But this time we owe it to Uncle Zhou. If it wasn’t for his strength carrying us, we might not have won!”
Lu Ziqi caught on and looked up at Zhou Jinyuan, saying politely, “Thank you, Uncle Zhou, for helping Sister Xixi and me win!”
Zhou Jinyuan slightly raised an eyebrow, his thin lips parting as if to say something, but in the end, he forcibly swallowed his words, replacing them with a cool and indifferent “Hmm.”
Chen Xixi was somewhat puzzled. The kid was so cute, how could he resist not giving a hug to such a polite little Lu Ziqi!
If he wasn’t going to hug, she would!
Chen Xixi opened her arms wide and gave Lu Ziqi a big bear hug, almost squeezing the breath out of him.
Lu Ziqi kept a straight face and thought, Sister Xixi’s love is too suffocating…
In the following games, Chen Xixi and Zhou Jinyuan continued to excel, harmonizing superbly as they faced each challenge, like a true family of three. They eventually clinched the title of the kindergarten’s champion family, becoming the most dazzling family in the entire kindergarten.
Not only did they have skill, but their high attractiveness also drew lots of attention.
What’s more important is that Zhou Jinyuan’s external appearance was too striking to ignore.
If Chen Xixi in her usual plain clothes initially went unnoticed, then Zhou Jinyuan was quite the opposite. His high-end brand shirt and trousers, custom-made shoes, expensive watch, distinguished air, and a gaze that commanded attention, all highlighted that he did not come from an ordinary family.
Gradually, some internet-savvy parents began to vaguely recognize them.
Whispers started circulating.
“Isn’t that woman the Chen Xixi from the Money Saving reality show?”
“Doesn’t that guy look like President Zhou from the Zhongjing Group?”
“I’ve seen that show! I even voted for Chen Xixi! Watching her pinch pennies is quite entertaining!”
“How did I not notice when they came in?”
The kindergarten director stood on stage with a microphone, joyfully announcing: “Let’s congratulate Lu Ziqi’s family on winning a family photo shoot courtesy of our kindergarten!”
As soon as the kindergarten director finished speaking.
The atmosphere in the venue turned bizarre.
How did Chen Xixi and President Zhou become a family?
When did this happen?
Did they go offline?
Did they spend the day away from their phones and not watch the live stream, and just like that, they became a family?
Then, a round of inexplicable applause arose, with everyone looking at each other in confusion.
How did these two from different worlds suddenly become a family?
After stepping down from the stage, Chen Xixi bent down, gently stroked Lu Ziqi’s head, and said with a beaming smile, “Congratulations to little Qiqi on being today’s champion!”
Lu Ziqi looked at Chen Xixi with hopeful eyes: “Can I come to play with you and Uncle Zhou again tomorrow?”
He knew that once today’s event was over, she and Uncle Zhou would leave because she had just explained to him that they were only temporarily substituting for his parents to accompany him at the event.
Chen Xixi: “Not tomorrow, I’m currently participating in a variety show. I’ll play with you again when I have time after the show ends.”
“What kind of show is it? Can I watch it on TV?”
“Not right now, you can only watch it online. It’s a money-saving variety show called ‘Money Saving Battle’.”
“Money saving? Does that mean you are very poor, and that’s why you need to save money?”
Chen Xixi chuckled lightly: “Not really, it’s just a rule of the show. If you work hard to become the person who saves the most, you can win a five million prize.”
Just five million, they really must be poor…
He remembered his father often saying at home that losing a few million wasn’t a big deal.
And Sister Xixi is actually trying so hard for five million to become the best at saving money…
Lu Ziqi stuffed the sand art he made into Chen Xixi’s hands, his little face serious: “I’ll give you the prizes I won; I don’t need them. And I have a little pocket money—later, I’ll have the butler bring it to you since I can’t spend it all anyway.”
Chen Xixi laughed: “No need, you should save your pocket money to buy more valuable things, or for marrying a wife in the future. Don’t give it to me, but I’ll keep this sand art. I actually quite like this.”
Refusing a child’s kindness entirely would be too hurtful, so she symbolically accepted one thing, at least to give the child a sense of being needed and valued, which would make him very happy.
Lu Ziqi felt that he had helped Chen Xixi, and a bit of joy gradually spread across his face.
The noon activities came to an end. In the afternoon, there wasn’t much happening. Some parents picked up their children to take them home, while those who were busier left their kids at the kindergarten to come back for them later.
Chen Xixi, Zhou Jinyuan, and Jin Cheng went to have lunch with the kids who stayed, in their classroom.
During lunch, Lu Ziqi’s real parents arrived.
Lu Ziqi’s parents were stunned when they saw Zhou Jinyuan.
They saw Zhou Jinyuan sitting on a tiny children’s chair, his long legs awkwardly spread open as he had nowhere to put them, eating from a children’s meal tray.
The Zhou Family couldn’t have fallen on such hard times that they had to come to a kindergarten to scrounge for a meal, could they?
After a moment, Mr. Lu, as if he had just seen an old friend he hadn’t met for a long time, patted Zhou Jinyuan on the arm and joked, “Yo! What wind blew you in here!”
Zhou Jinyuan glanced at Chen Xixi sitting next to him and spoke in a casual tone: “West Wind.”
Mr. Lu laughed: “Since you’re at my place, I’ll host. Whatever you want to eat, just pick, let’s go!”
When Lu Ziqi saw his dad arrive, he toddled over and pointed at Chen Xixi, saying, “Dad! This is Sister Xixi, she’s really nice, she kept winning with me today. Can we invite her to join us for lunch?”
Sister Xixi?
Experienced father Mr. Lu instantly figured it out; so the ‘West Wind’ wasn’t a wind, nor a joke by Zhou Jinyuan—it was a person!
Mr. Lu said generously: “Of course, let’s all go together! Thank you for taking care of my son today.”
On the way out of the kindergarten, Lu Ziqi’s mouth hardly ever left the words ‘Sister Xixi’, as he kept praising to his parents just how incredible Sister Xixi was.
Mr. Lu wasn’t stupid either; how could he not understand the little scheme his own son was playing?
The little rascal was trying to earn credit for Sister Xixi!
Lu Ziqi remembered his dad saying that impressive people should be rewarded, so it was only right for his dad to give Chen Xixi some reward for all his praise, right?
After all, Sister Xixi was so poor she had to struggle for five million.
…
At the burger joint.
Zheng He was eating the plain noodles Han Qianyi bought for him while watching Chen Xixi eat Michelin-starred meals in the live broadcast.
The noodles in his mouth were getting tasteless by the bite…
He wanted to eat Michelin-starred food too!
After finishing the noodles, Zheng He suddenly received a message on his phone: “I asked around for you, there’s a kindergarten that has a volunteer event tomorrow, do you want to join?”
Zheng He replied without hesitation: “Yes!”
He too wanted to fleece a parent properly!
