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

Chen Xixi was currently focused on battling with the aunties for cupcakes, completely unaware that Zheng He had received twenty thousand in compensation, and that her internet friends were all worrying about her.
The aunties around her were truly insane, sweeping up one bag after another into their stash.
She couldn’t afford to be distracted at all, a slower hand meant missing out on everything!
Chen Xixi quickly stuffed the leftover cupcake in her hand into her mouth, and her cheek bulged out immediately, giving her palm-sized face a round and puffy look.
Her eyes widened as she sped up the process of stuffing cupcakes into the bag with both hands.
These cupcakes, adorned with cream and fruits, were inconvenient to bag, so Chen Xixi took out some disposable food containers from her large tote to use instead.
The aunties eyed the new gadget in Chen Xixi’s hands with envy and urgency!
The aunties couldn’t help but internally exclaim: This girl is so professional!!
Soon, the row of cupcakes on the table was almost completely plundered by the aunties, with Chen Xixi taking the lead!
[Chen Xixi: Sweeping the table clean, being myself again! O(∩_∩)O~~]
[Property Management: Help! I’ve witnessed robbers in Huaguo’s new society! Someone call the police for me!]
[Hahaha Chen Xiaokou as expected, never fights a battle she’s not sure of winning!]
[Her fighting spirit has surpassed that of the aunties!]
Zheng He casually strolled to Chen Xixi’s side, watching her frugal, penny-pinching behavior as she filled her bag, his eyes full of disdain: “Everyone else hasn’t even started eating, yet you’re stuffing your pockets. That doesn’t seem very proper, does it?”
The aunties and uncles sitting at Chen Xixi’s table immediately got riled up, all lifting their heads to look at Zheng He with fierce and hostile expressions on their faces.
It should be noted that Zheng He’s comment wasn’t just about Chen Xixi, he inadvertently offended a whole table of people!
Chen Xixi glanced at Zheng He coolly and said calmly, “Are you with our table?”
After hearing Chen Xixi’s question, the aunties and uncles looked around, and seeing that their table was full with no seats available, it was obvious Zheng He wasn’t one of them.
An aunt next to them, clutching a bag as well, chimed in immediately: “Right! We’re taking from our own table, what does it have to do with you? None of us are complaining, why are you meddling?”
Then, a white-haired old man at the table slammed his hand down and stood up, speaking for his wife: “We didn’t take anything from your table!”
Facing the angry stares of the aunties and uncles, Jin Cheng, who was standing next to Zheng He, quickly stepped to the side to distance himself, clarifying: “I’m not with him.”
Zheng He, who incited the public outrage: “…”
Zheng He sneered internally. Alright! Chen Xixi somehow even managed to find a group to back her up, with people supporting her tightfisted ways!
In front of him was a group of old men and women; the fall of any one of them would be an unbearable weight in Zheng He’s life.
Thus, he chose to avoid the battle.
He certainly couldn’t get involved in something that wasn’t to his advantage!
However, before leaving, he curiously glanced at Chen Xixi’s side, noticing there were no young men.
How did Chen Xixi manage to blend in?
Could it be that Chen Xixi found an old man to partner with?
Thinking this, Zheng He suddenly felt goosebumps all over.
Chen Xixi really is not picky… no wonder she previously tried to seduce his father!
Jin Cheng also wondered how Chen Xixi got in and then leaned over to ask her quietly.
This question was quite the shocker for Jin Cheng who was left speechless by the answer.
Chen Xixi said without changing her expression: “I told them my boyfriend is paralyzed at home and couldn’t make it, and I wanted to join the Qixi Festival event and bring back some cupcakes for him.”
The property management felt sorry for her as a young girl and let her in.
“…”
That’s wickedly ruthless! Directly paralyzing the boyfriend!
Good thing Chen Xixi is single.
Jin Cheng gave a thumbs up, against his better judgment praising: “…You really are a Thoughtful girlfriend.”
Chen Xixi: “I think so too!”
“So the… technique you suggested for getting me in… It wouldn’t happen to involve saying my girlfriend is paralyzed too, would it?”
“Mm, I’ll just say my boyfriend and your girlfriend went out to eat together, and then a random car accident happened. To save your girlfriend, both of them ended up paralyzed.”
Savoring the thought, why would their significant others go out to eat together without them? And then, by some coincidental twist, an accident occurs…
“…” It’s starting to smell like an early prime time soap opera.
[Hahaha, I’m impressed! Chen Xixi really could be a scriptwriter!]
[Just a few sentences and I’m hooked. Chen Xixi, I’m commanding you now! I want to see the whole series tonight!]
[You didn’t see how pitiful and tragic Chen Xixi acted at that moment, so convincingly real that I almost cried!]
[If I didn’t know the truth, I would have almost believed it!]
[Aren’t they afraid that some old lady watching their live stream will recognize them?]
After being shocked by Zheng He and then twice by Chen Xixi, Jin Cheng went off to look for food.
Chen Xixi had already cleaned off her table until it was almost cleaner than her face; she had no choice but to go eat at another table.
Han Qianyi, who arrived later, saw Chen Xixi packing food into her bag, struggled for a bit, then finally mustered the courage to ask the waiter for some take-out plastic bags and blushed as she followed Xixi’s lead, stuffing small cakes into her bag.
Can doing this really make you popular?
She was a bit skeptical.
After all, Chen Xixi had become the most popular by doing just that.
[Han Qianyi has grown! She finally learned to save money, it wasn’t easy!]
[Feels like she’s imitating Chen Xixi, doesn’t it? Otherwise, why would she keep looking at Xixi while packing? Is she psyching herself up?]
[Han Qianyi: Can this really get me popularity votes?
Chen Xixi: It’s in the bag!]
Apart from Chen Xixi’s table, the elders at the other tables were packing up too, and Zheng He and the others had learned their lesson – they couldn’t afford to leave on an empty stomach like last time!
Zheng He and Wan Chen also went to get plastic bags for packing.
Once everyone had almost finished packing, it was time for the exciting red envelope winning segment.
Han Qianyi walked up to Chen Xixi carrying a plastic bag and whispered, “Zheng He has already won over 20,000 yuan.”
Chen Xixi was surprised to hear this amount out of the blue and guessed, “Compensation for a beating?”
“Did you see it online?”
“No, but it’s easy to guess with his face looking like that, and certainly not from a brave and just award.”
“…”
Chen Xixi really knew Zheng He well.
As for why Han Qianyi hurried to tell Chen Xixi this news… it was because she didn’t want to be ridiculed by the whole internet for having lower intelligence than Zheng He.
Instead of letting Zheng He win, it would be better to hurry up and let Chen Xixi win.
That way, when she becomes an actress in the future, netizens won’t dig up this embarrassing loss to the fool Zheng He.
The red envelope game required couples to participate, with the top three pairs winning red envelopes – 200 yuan for first place, 100 yuan for second place, and 13.14 yuan for third place.
The host brought in by the property managers held the mic and announced with a smile, “Our red envelope grabbing will be done through a knowledge contest!”
Zheng He’s mouth twitched: “…” He hated knowledge the most!
Host: “Couples who wish to participate, please stand in pairs; work together to answer the questions!”
Due to special circumstances, Chen Xixi was allowed to participate on her own.
The elderly and the guests all pricked up their ears to listen.
Host: “Here’s the first question, pay attention! In which month did the Russia October Revolution take place?
A. September, B. October, C. November.”
Zheng He: ? That’s too easy!
Zheng He was the first to raise his hand to answer: “October!”
