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

“””
[Chen Xixi, what are you doing swapping tents and getting celebrities’ autographs? Turns out she’s selling them! And for three hundred yuan! Three hundred yuan is way more cost-effective than a standard dinner! Moreover, Chen Xixi can save a bit on food, and the extra money can increase her funds! So smart, truly Chen Xixi!]
[Ah?! A tent with autographs from so many top celebrities sold for just three hundred yuan?! Isn’t that a bit of a loss? I feel like Chen Xixi’s tent should have been auctioned, this way she definitely could have made more money!]
[I think Chen Xixi didn’t want the fans to spend too much money, that’s why she didn’t auction it, she’s really so kind!]
[Only three hundred yuan! Why didn’t she sell it to me! I want to buy it too!!]
[Who on earth was the lucky one who got this tent, the poor child is envious to tears! Wuu wuu wuu…]
Han Qianyi had thought about imitating Chen Xixi and selling autographed photos, but she really didn’t have the thick skin like Chen Xixi to go up to each celebrity for an autograph, and then sell it online; she always felt like it was somewhat beneath her.
After all, she’s a future Oscar-winning actress, how can she do such a degrading act!
Jin Cheng has absolutely no interest in selling autographed photos. If he wants autographs, he’ll just ask his Uncle after the show. A bunch of celebrities will rush to sign and send them to him, and he can have as many as he wants. Besides, how much money can those autographed photos even fetch? Mr. Jin finds it beneath him.
Wan Chen also looks down upon it, he has already arranged a direct winning strategy for the final moments of the show in a couple of days. These small money-making opportunities, he can take it or leave it, it doesn’t matter to him. After all, he’s not relying on this little bit of money to win.
Zheng He was internally frantic for a moment, then quickly seized a new money-making opportunity. Rather than sulking alone here, he figured it was better to spend his time and thoughts on how to surpass Chen Xixi!
Zheng He walked up to the celebrity guests with a smile and asked, “Teachers, could you sign something for me?”
The moment Zheng He spoke, the previously lively conversation among the people like Jiang Xingze became eerily quiet, and everyone’s expressions gradually turned complex, exchanging glances.
One of the male actors said with an awkward yet polite smile, “Let’s talk about this after the show, shall we? Can we maybe bring over the cake and fruit to eat now?”
As the male actor finished speaking, Guan Yingying, Jiang Xingze, and Fang Shihui all shifted their gazes towards the production team. Then, as if by tacit agreement, they walked over there, chatting and laughing about whether the cake can be brought over to eat.
Zheng He’s smile instantly froze on his face: “…” You’re all actors, could your scene changes be any less abrupt?!
How come when Chen Xixi asked for autographs, they gave them, but when it’s his turn, everyone shifts the topic?
Is this preferential treatment?
Celebrities usually wouldn’t refuse to sign for fans, it’s not a big deal. Why don’t they want to sign for him?
After thinking it over, he seriously suspected this had something to do with Chen Xixi!
Embarrassed to go forward and shamelessly ask again, if it were just anybody else, he would’ve thickened his skin and thought of a way. Forcing himself into a circle where he didn’t belong would only lead to humiliation.
Only in a circle of the poor like Chen Xixi’s does he feel comfortable, able to manipulate at will and show off his superiority.
Although he hasn’t quite figured out Chen Xixi yet, it doesn’t stop him from still feeling superior to her, because he has never felt inferior to anyone!
This kind of pride that comes from deep within is given by the pampering and care he received from his parents who never let him lack anything since childhood! And the only hardship he’s faced in his life so far is dealing with Chen Xixi on the show.
In the end, Zheng He came to a conclusion: Chen Xixi is his nemesis!
Zheng He, with a dark face, walked back to his comfort zone.
Seeing him return empty-handed, Han Qianyi couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Weren’t you going to get autographs?”
“””
Zheng He turned his head, glanced at Chen Xixi playing with her phone in the back seat not far away, and said through clenched teeth, “I didn’t get it!”
Han Qianyi frowned slightly and asked puzzledly, “How did you not manage to get it?” Logically, a star wouldn’t be stingy enough to not even give away a signed photo, right? Besides, if Chen Xixi got one, how could Zheng He not get one?
Zheng He said coldly, “It’s all because of Chen Xixi’s scheming! After she got the autographs, she must have told those stars not to sign for us. How else could they refuse me? Chen Xixi is just afraid we’d also get autographs and then sell them to make money! She really is so calculating!”
Han Qianyi: “…”
If it were in the past, she might have believed this, but now she couldn’t believe it at all!
Just considering the way Zheng He just accidentally slipped up and clearly wasn’t intending to help Chen Xixi, she knew Zheng He was no good!
Han Qianyi chuckled dismissively, “Sometimes, you might want to look for the reason within yourself.”
Zheng He looked at her, annoyed, “What do you mean? Are you implying that it’s not Chen Xixi’s fault, but mine?”
At the same time, he thought, how could this woman turn her heart so quickly?
She had been sending him amorous glances just before, and he’d only been away for a short while, and now she’s already standing on Chen Xixi’s side!
Definitely during the time he was away, Chen Xixi must have fed Han Qianyi some kind of bewitching potion!
Chen Xixi wants to isolate him, make him desolate and friendless, and completely break down their little team!
Such a wicked and malicious strategy!
The innocent Chen Xixi, who was unknowingly blamed, had no idea that Zheng He had already performed a drama all by himself, scheming with various vicious and underhanded methods against the New Year’s show to win the five million prize money!
Han Qianyi couldn’t bother speaking with Zheng He anymore. She really admired her past self, how had she ever been able to tolerate Zheng He’s foolishness?
It might also be possible that after spending more time with him now, she understood Zheng He more clearly, so she grew increasingly disgusted and looked down on him even more.
After some thought, Han Qianyi couldn’t help but look at Zheng He and asked, “Did you use connections to get on the show?”
Such a foolish guest, how did the production team ever choose him through their selection process?
If it wasn’t through connections, she’d almost think the production team’s standards for choosing guests were based on Zheng He’s standards, but such a thought again felt like an insult to herself.
Zheng He panicked for a moment at this question, “What backdoor? I got on the show through my own abilities!”
As if 50 yuan could display any talent.
He gave the assistant director One Hundred Thousand Yuan, how could that not count as his talent?
[Where on earth is Zheng He’s talent? The production team, give us an answer, please!]
[Chen Xixi is really taking bullets for no reason. She’s obviously trying to figure out a way to win, but Zheng He comes up with the weirdest conspiracy theories…]
[Zheng He’s ‘Chen Xixi Syndrome’ has progressed into ‘Chen Xixi Persecution Delusion’.]
[Finally, Han Qianyi gets a sharp retort! Not easy at all, not easy!]
[Why didn’t Jiang Xingze and others give Zheng He an autograph? Is it really because of Chen Xixi? Otherwise, it really doesn’t make sense!]
