Han Qianyi was originally after the popularity award.
But when she saw Zheng He, who had been unlucky and even appeared to have a low IQ in the program, suddenly turn the tables against the odds, she felt extremely imbalanced inside.
Even if she didnât want this thing, it couldnât fall into the hands of someone worse than her.
It wouldnât be as upsetting to her if Chen Xixi got the five million.
Because she recognized Chen Xixiâs stinginess and frugality, and admitted that she was indeed not as good as Chen Xixi in that regard.
But Zheng He⦠what does he have to show for it?
If such a person ends up winning, she would feel like her intelligence was being mocked.
The netizens would surely mock them all.
Four normal people, getting beaten by a chosen idiotâ¦
Wan Chenâs eyes darkened in their depths, and after a moment of silence, he pulled out his phone, shielded the screen with one hand to prevent others or the camera from seeing it, and quickly sent a message: âIncrease the amount to forty thousand.â
The other party replied quickly: âOkay.â
Seeing the surprised and envious look on Han Qianyi and Wan Chenâs faces, the corners of Zheng Heâs mouth curved into a smug arc.
But he didnât dare deepen that arc.
Because his face hurt.
Zheng He cared about his face, naturally, he couldnât let them see his sorry state.
He just needed them to know how easily he earned that twenty thousand yuan, and heâd have properly played the part!
Han Qianyi looked concerned, âShouldnât you go to the hospital for a check? If youâve injured something inside your head or body, it could be serious.â
Zheng Heâs facial injury was clearly untreated, which prompted Han Qianyi to speak up.
She thought, convince him to go to the hospital for a check, the best if he does a full-body exam or something, spend about thirty-five thousand, then sheâd feel balanced!
Then everyone would be poor together again, and she could feel secure winning the popularity award!
Zheng He inwardly scoffed. Look how much Han Qianyi cared and worried about him!
Too bad she could only look up to him from afar.
âNo need, I understand my own body!â
Zheng He had already moved around his entire body at the police station and didnât feel uncomfortable anywhere; frankly, it was just a superficial skin injury.
[Han Qianyi is right, Zheng He should hurry to the hospital for a check. Heâs not that bright to begin with; if he gets even dumber, thatâs itâ¦]
[Han Qianyi really cares about Zheng He! Does she have some feelings for him?]
[I think although sheâs a bit too saintly, she probably isnât that blind.]
After showing off, Zheng He couldnât wait to boast to Chen Xixi and asked eagerly, âWhere did Chen Xixi go?â
Wan Chen said without much emotion: âShe went to a property event. Todayâs Qixi Festival, and couples from this community can attend the dinner. There are free desserts and red wine, and the top three in the competition also get red packets.â
Wan Chen also found out about this event through Chen Xixiâs live broadcast, knowing that she had gone to the property event.
Zheng Heâs eyes widened.
Free dining and red packets too?
There were such good deals?
Zheng He immediately looked at Han Qianyi and chuckled, âShall we go together?â
He felt sure that Han Qianyi would not refuse his invitation!
However⦠Han Qianyi looked at him with some apology and said, âIâve already agreed with Wan Chenâ¦â
Just now, Han Qianyi had already booked the event with him, planning to pretend to be a couple and slip in for drinks and to win red packets.
As for why Han Qianyi didnât ask Zheng He⦠wasnât it because she thought Zheng He was too dumb, so she didnât want to form a CP with him!
She didnât want to become famous later, only to have such a dark chapter in her history.
Even if itâs for publicizing a celebrity pairing, sheâd like to team up with someone outstanding. That way, it would benefit her career development.
No matter how she looks at it, Wan Chenâs demeanor and rather steady conduct seemed unlike that of an ordinary person.
Being paired with such a person for publicity, she feels like she isnât on the losing end.
The next second, Zheng Heâs eyes drooped down, displaying some displeasure.
Han Qianyi must want to avoid any association with him, thatâs why she chose to pair up with Wan Chen!
Since Han Qianyi already found a partner, he could only look for someone else. Let Han Qianyi regret her decision when she sees another girl by his side!
But now, Zheng He was no longer the suave and debonair Zheng He of the past, with his face bruised in blue and purple, who would be willing to pair up with him?
But oh, Zheng He, he is someone who wouldnât give up easily until the very last moment.
So, he stood at the entrance of the apartment complex, and approached every passing woman asking, âBeauty, are you single?â
If they werenât single, and he still approached them to team up and pretend to be a couple, wouldnât he just be asking for a beating?
He wouldnât want his handsome face to suffer secondary damage.
It hurts enough already, and itâs seriously affected his image too.
Young beauties fled at the sight of his frightful appearance, speeding up as if fearing they were being preyed on by some sleazy person.
After a long while, having not found a partner, Zheng He started to get anxious.
Since he couldnât target the younger crowd, he had no choice but to set his sights on older women.
At that moment, a lady in her forties or fifties wearing a casual tracksuit and sneakers, with a plastic basket for shopping slung over her shoulder, happened to walk by.
Zheng He gritted his teeth, braced himself, and approached her with a grimace, âBig sister, are you single?â
Under normal circumstances, Zheng Heâs smile would pose no issue, but, contorted by pain, it came across as somewhat sinister no matter how you looked at it.
The lady took off the plastic basket from her shoulder and smashed it onto Zheng Heâs head, cursing as she did, âYou little rotten punk! Iâm old enough to be your mother, you know that? You little rascal!â
Zheng He clutched his head with both hands, âAh ah ah!! Thatâs not what I meant! Big sister!â
It wasnât long after the lady left when the sound of police sirens echoed at the entrance of the neighborhood. Zheng He had a bad feeling about this.
Sure enough, the police arrived before him in moments and said sternly, âSomeone reported that thereâs a hoodlum at the entrance of the neighborhood, harassing women of all ages. Please come with us.â
â???â Zheng He, on the brink of collapse, explained, âI was just looking for a partner! How did that make me a hoodlum? Moreover⦠moreover, I didnât harass anyone?â
[Zhen He is really never out of troubles wherever he goes, haha!]
[Hai City Police Department: This year, Zheng He alone provided eighty percent of our KPI.]
[Wherever Zheng He goes, trouble followsâ¦]
Zheng He, leaving the police station again, felt so weary.
Forget it, he wonât look for a partner at the entrance of the apartment complex anymore, heâll try his luck at the hotel where the property management is holding the banquet, right?
He had just arrived at the hotel entrance when he happened to bump into Jin Cheng.
Jin Cheng came alone.
That means Jin Cheng also did not have a partner.
He thought Jin Cheng had already paired up with Chen Xixi!
He sneaked behind Jin Cheng, wanting to see how he planned to get in, then saw Jin Cheng being stopped by the receptionist from property management.
Zheng He suddenly had a brilliant idea; wasnât this a good opportunity?
He quickly walked up, slung his arm over Jin Chengâs shoulder, and shamelessly said something explosive to the property management, âWeâre a couple, heâs my boyfriend.â
Property Management: â!!!!â
Jin Cheng: â???â
Zheng He looked at the stunned Jin Cheng, then at the property management still in shock, and curled the corner of his mouth, âYour event only specified couples could participate, but never said it had to be a man and a woman. Can we go in now?â
Jin Cheng: ââ¦â Thanks a lot!
